~~~Chapter Twenty-Two~~~
~~~Previous~~~
The sun has only just begun to rise, a fog covering the surroundings. Three figures walk into the same fog. It is Yuugi, Isis, and Jounouchi. Isis and Yuugi are wearing their usual outfits. Jounouchi is wearing a blue t-shirt and grey jeans with suspenders over his shoulders.
"Did you sleep okay last night?" Jounouchi questions.
"Yep!" Yuugi replies happily.
Isis nods her head. "I did. What about you, Jounouchi?"
"Me? I was fine." Jounouchi replies, causing Yuugi to let out a giggle. "You don't seem scared anymore."
"Of course! I'm not alone, after all." Yuugi comments happily.
"Yeah! That's the spirit." Jounouchi praises. "Let's save your jii-san and humiliate Kaiba."
"Yeah!" Yuugi and Isis agree.
Footsteps are heard before a figure appears next to Isis. "Good morning!"
"Anzu?" Yuugi exclaims, surprised.
"Let's do our best today, Yuugi. Isis." Anzu states.
Anzu is wearing a turquoise shirt with a white collar over a black strap top and a turquoise skirt.
"Our best?" Yuugi repeats. "Anzu, don't tell me…"
"It could be dangerous," Isis warns.
Anzu shakes her head with a smile. "I came to cheer. But if I can help, let me know."
"But…" Yuugi trails off hesitantly.
"We're bud, right?" Anzu points out.
"Yuugi, what did I tell you yesterday?" Isis scolds.
"Isis-nee…" Yuugi looks down before looking back up. "Yeah."
"Well, I'm here. That'll be enough." Jounouchi comments confidently.
Another figure appears next to Jounouchi. "Wait, wait!"
"What's with you?" Jounouchi questions.
"The manly Honda Hiroto is here!" Honda calls out. "Expect a lot, Yuugi! Isis!"
Honda is wearing a crème/yellow T-shirt with black trousers.
"You're coming too?" Jounouchi queries.
"As a beautification member, I can't overlook Kaiba's dirty way, right?" Honda states seriously.
A figure appears next to Anzu. "Everyone, do your best."
"M-Miho-chan, too?" Honda stutters, surprised.
Miho is wearing a pink short-sleeved top with a black and white stripe down the front and a beige skirt.
"Miho is going to cheer," Miho says happily.
Isis, Jounouchi, Honda, Anzu, and Miho look at Yuugi with smiles. Yuugi looks at them before looking in front of him, a confident look on his face. "Everyone, thank you."
"Thank us after we beat Kaiba." Jounouchi teases.
Isis lets out a chuckle. "Let's go."
Bakura appears near a pear, breathing heavily with his hand on his chest. He lifts his head and gazes at the building on the other side of the water. "I'm being called…Something is calling me!"
Inside Kaiba Corporation, Kaiba and Mokuba are standing near a large window, gazing outside.
"They're here." Kaiba comments.
"They're here," Mokuba repeats.
Yuugi, Isis, and the others are heading toward their destination on a boat.
"We're going now, Jii-chan/ Grandfather." Yuugi and Isis comment at the same time.
~~~To be Continued~~~
~~~Present~~~
~~~3rd POV~~~
Part of the floor opens on a lit-up platform, and a glass box ascends. Yuugi and Isis's grandfather look around, sweating. Kaiba is sitting across from him with his arms folded across his chest. Kaiba laughs before the elevator stops and is attached to the floor via each side.
Kaiba smirks. "Then…game start."
"If I win, you won't do anything to Yuugi?" Yuugi's and Isis's grandfather, Sugoroku, questions.
"Yeah." Kaiba agrees. "In exchange, a punishment game awaits you if you lose."
"I know." Sugoroku clenches his fist around his Duel Monster cards.
Kaiba just continues to smirk. It's finally begun. The battle at my newly completed Kaiba Land.
Sugoroku gazes back at Kaiba. I have the ultimate card, Blue Eyes White Dragon. Yuugi, I will protect you.
~~~At Kaiba Land~~~
Fireworks are set off as Kaiba Land is officially opened. "Thank you for attending Kaiba Land today. The opening commemorative battle will begin very soon. Everyone, please gather on the first floor of the game tower." A female voice comments over the speaker as a large crowd enters.
"She said the game tower!" One male exclaims.
"Let's go see!" The male next to him says happily.
~~~Isis's POV~~~
We enter Kaiba Land and split up. I stay with Yuugi, and Anzu comes with us.
Yuugi looks around. "Jii-chan…where are you?"
"He has to be here somewhere." I point out softly.
Anzu also looks around. "What a lot of people."
Jounouchi walks over. "Kaiba, that bastard! He challenged us to this duel. Where is he?"
"What'll we do?" Yuugi questions, worried. He lowers his head. "Jii-chan…"
Honda and Miho walk over. We stand in silence and watch the crowd all heading in the same direction.
Miho blinks. "Everyone is going to the game tower?"
Honda points his thumb at the crowd. "Then we should go over there for now."
Yuugi snaps out of his thoughts and nods his head. "Yeah. Let's see."
"We might get an idea of where Grandfather is," I add softly.
We head in that direction. Miho makes an amazed sound as she runs over to the fence, gazing upwards. "Wow!"
Honda stands next to her, also gazing upwards. "This is the game tower?"
Yuugi walks over, hands gripping the fence. "He said if we win the game, he will return jii-chan. What should I do, Kaiba-kun?"
I hear doors open before footsteps head toward us and stop. "Please come this way." We look to see a man in a suit standing to the side. "Kaiba-sama is waiting."
Jounouchi looks at the man with a scowl, and his fist clenched. "What do you mean he's waiting? Show us the way already! Don't just summon us!"
"What about jii-chan?" Yuugi questions.
Another man is standing behind the first man. The first man holds his hand out to the side. "Please get on this elevator."
Yuugi looks up at me. "Isis-nee…"
I let out a sigh. "We have no choice. Let's go."
The others nod their heads, and we enter the elevator. The doors closed, and the elevator ascended. It isn't long before the elevator stops, and the doors open to show Grandfather sitting in front of Kaiba, playing Duel Monsters inside a glass box.
"What is this place?" Anzu questions.
Yuugi lets out a gasp and rushes forward. "Jii-chan!"
The two men hold their hands and stop Yuugi from going further. I narrow my eyes at them before looking back at Grandfather and Kaiba.
~~~3rd POV~~~
"Now…your turn." Kaiba orders.
Sugoroku takes a card from his deck. His eyes widen, and he lets out a low sound from his throat before looking at Kaiba. "Kaiba-kun, I win." He turns his card. "Blue Eyes White Dragon. With this card, this duel is over." He places the card down.
Kaiba lets out a hum. "Then this is my card." He places a card down.
"W-what?" Sugoroku exclaims, surprised. "Blue Eyes White Dragon?"
Kaiba lets out a chuckle. "And one more Blue Eyes White Dragon."
"That's not possible!" Sugoroku denies. "He has two rare cards?"
Kaiba lets out a chuckle. On the next turn, I can bring out one more.
"I-it can't be…" Sugoroku stutters.
Kaiba holds up a third Blue Eyes White Dragon card. "You lose."
Sugoroku moves back, falls from his chair and lands on his bottom. "Why do you have three Blue Eyes White Dragons?" He looks up with wide eyes. "I lose…"
"Jii-chan!/ Grandfather!" Yuugi and Isis call out.
"Watch out, Jii-chan!" Yuugi warns. "Let go!"
"Move!" Jounouchi and Honda demand as the group rushes forward.
"Jii-chan!/ Grandfather!" Yuugi and Isis call out.
"Stop it!" Yuugi shouts.
Kaiba laughs as his face appears on a screen. "Don't worry, Yuugi."
"Kaiba-kun…" Yuugi trails off.
"What are you doing?" Jounouchi demands.
I narrow my eyes before clenching my fist. I throw my fist out in front of me, shattering the glass completely around our grandfather.
Grandfather, Yuugi and the others let out a sound of surprise. "Isis!/ Isis-nee!" Grandfather and Yuugi call out.
"I-Impossible!" Kaiba exclaims, surprised.
I raise an eyebrow at Kaiba on the screen before Yuugi and I rush over to Grandfather. "Jii-chan!/ Grandfather!"
Grandfather sits up and looks at us, surprised. "Y-you came?"
"Of course!" Yuugi replies.
"Did you expect anything different?" I query.
"Are you alright, ojii-chan?" Anzu asks.
"Yu-Yuugi…" Grandfather stutters. "I wanted to save you…but I wasn't able to…I'm sorry."
"Jii-chan…/ Grandfather…" Yuugi and I trail off.
Grandfather holds out his card deck. "Yuugi, here."
Yuugi's eyes widen in surprise before taking his card deck. "This is…Jii-chan's precious…" Yuugi start.
"Card deck…" I finish.
"Kaiba is a fearsome young man." Grandfather lets out a low groan, clenching his eyes shut. He opens one eye and looks back at Yuugi. "He's ruthless in games. Be careful, Yuugi. My soul is in these cards. If you have it, I'm sure it'll give you power."
"Jii-chan…" Yuugi calls out.
Jounouchi places his hands on his hips as a grin appears on his face. "Don't worry, Jii-san."
"It's okay. We're with him, after all." Honda adds with a grin on his face.
"Leave it to us." Jounouchi encourages.
"Yuugi isn't losing. I'm sure of it." Anzu comments with a smile.
Miho entwines her fingers together with a happy smile and nods her head.
"It will work out as long as we work together," I commented softly.
"You guys!" Yuugi exclaims, looking at us.
"I see. I see." Grandfather states, his face relaxing. "Yuugi…right now, I'm sure you will win. Behind you are your cousin and your friends. A cousin and friends that you have a deep bond with."
Yuugi lifts Grandfather's card deck with a determined face. "Jii-chan, I'm going to win."
"Yes." Grandfather agrees. "Using everyone and the unifying power of those cards."
Kaiba laughs as we all turn to look back at the screen. "The emotional exchange is over. Return the old man, and let's begin the games."
A hole suddenly appears on the ground beneath Grandfather, and he falls through, letting out a yell.
"Jii-chan!/ Grandfather!" Yuugi and I call out.
"Yuugi, keep winning in the hellish attraction Death-T. Pass my location, and the old man will be returned." Kaiba states.
"Kaiba-kun…" Yuugi trails off.
"Hellish attraction? Death-T? What is that?" Jounouchi demands.
"This is the Kaiba Land's ultimate game." Kaiba's face disappears from the screen and the words Death-T appear. "Death-T."
"Death-T?" Anzu repeats.
Kaiba's face appears back on the screen. "The game tower has various games on each floor. Start at the bottom and beat each game to go up. Of course, I will wait on the top floor."
Mokuba appears next to Kaiba. "Wait, Nii-sama."
"Cut it out, Mokuba." Kaiba scolds.
"Don't forget that they'll be facing me first. I don't know if they'll clear my game." Mokuba laughs weirdly, in a shishishi way.
Jounouchi lifts a clenched fist. "That's fine! Just wait! We'll be there soon!"
Yuugi looks at Jounouchi with wide eyes. "Jounouchi-kun!"
"Yuugi is going to beat you!" Honda states.
"Honda-kun!" Yuugi calls out.
"Yuugi has everyone with him!" Anzu adds.
Miho nods his head. "That's right!"
"You should stop over-estimating yourselves," I comment.
"Fine. Then Death-T start!" Kaiba states.
"Start!" Mokuba repeats.
The screen ascends before bright lights appear, causing us to cover our eyes.
"What?!" Jounouchi queries.
Honda's eyes widen. "This is…"
"What?" Yuugi looks at lets out a gasp.
I look around to see that we are standing on a stage with a large crowd cheering. "Thank you for waiting. Now Kaiba Land's opening memorial event, game battle Death-T, begins. The challengers are those six boys and girls. They will challenge the games and try to reach the top of the tower. Now, the elevator to Death-T, open!"
Smoke is released from the elevator, which has Death-T written across it. The elevator slowly opens.
"We're on stage." Honda comments, surprised.
Jounouchi lets out a tch. "Way to set us up!"
"Just ensure we stay calm, and everything will be alright." I encourage softly.
"Alright, let's go, Yuugi!" Jounouchi cheers.
"We're going to save your ojii-chan," Anzu adds.
Yuugi nods his head before we rush forward. "Game start!" Honda calls out.
~~~3rd POV~~~
The six of them run into the elevator.
Elsewhere, Kaiba and Mokuba are watching them via the screens in front of them. "Now, it begins."
"At last, Nii-sama." Mokuba does his shishishi laugh.
"Yuugi…I'll bring you down to your knees before this audience!"
The door to the Death-T elevator closes. "Just now, the door to Death-T has closed. Just what awaits the challengers?" The female announces over the speakers before the platform ascends, showing a large screen on each side. "Please look at this screen for the content of this game."
The crowd lets out a cheer. In the crowd, Bakura is standing there. What summoned me here, I wonder? Yuugi-kun, just what is going on? Bakura lowers his gaze and looks at his pendant, which he places a hand on. What am I being forced to do?
~~~Isis's POV~~~
The elevator stops, causing Yuugi to tilt to the side.
"We've arrived," Honda states.
"Death-T one." Anzu adds.
The elevator floor moves, and we are moved closer to the next set of doors.
"The entrance to the first game." Jounouchi comments.
The door opens, and we head inside a dark room.
"It's pitch black!" Miho exclaims.
An alarm sounds as a red light flashes in the room. Yuugi lets out a low gasp as the room begins to shake. Pipes lower, and smoke is released from them. Miho lets out a yell, causing Anzu to hold onto her.
On the screens, Emergency appears. "Emergency! Emergency! This space station is under enemy attack. It's being destroyed." A voice calls out. "Emergency! Emergency! This space station is under enemy attack. It's being destroyed. You are the only ones who can save it. Put on the cyber vest and defeat the enemy using laser guns."
We put the vests on and take a laser gun.
Honda lifts his laser gun. "This looks pretty good on me."
Jounouchi looks at his laser gun. "This is a shooting game often seen in amusement parks."
I look at Anzu and Miho to see Anzu helping Miho put her vest on. "Come on, hurry and put it on."
"Miho, too?" Miho questions.
"Of course!" Anzu agrees.
"I just came to cheer." Miho points out.
Kaiba's face appears on a screen. "Ready?"
"Kaiba!" Jounouchi calls out.
"Right now, you are fighting on the shooting field," Kaiba states.
Jonouchi lets out a scoff and lifts a fist. "Shooting games are my extra-special speciality!"
"The rules are simple. Hit the sensor on the enemy's cyber vest with the laser gun. Once hit, that person's game is over. You six are facing three enemies."
"Just three?" Honda questions.
"But don't let your guard down," Kaiba warns. "These three are army pros." Three different faces appear on the screen one by one. "Red. Black. Blue." Two males and one female.
"Former army pros?" Anzu repeats.
A smirk appears on Kaiba's face. "Let's see how far you go against pros. Gate open!"
I narrow my eyes when the doors open. We hide out of view. I tilt my head. "They are on the other side of the room."
~~~3rd POV~~~
~~~With the Crowd~~~
"Now the fairly difficult Death-T One. How will these challengers fight against real soldiers?"
~~~With the Army Pros~~~
On the other side of the room, one of the men with orange hair looks around the side. "Now, the prey is here, it seems."
The female looks at the males. "Hey, let's not split the pay. How about the one that beats the most gets it?"
"I don't need any pay." The second male denies it. "I just want to chase some prey."
"Don't waste time talking. Let's finish this quickly." The orange-haired male states before running around the side.
"Alright, let's go." The second male agrees.
"I feel sorry for the prey." The female comments before running around the other side.
~~~With Yuugi, Isis, and the others~~~
Jounouchi peeks his head around the side before moving back out of the way. "Hey! How long are we going to stay here?"
"Fool! If we move clumsily, we'll lose." Honda points out.
Isis nods her head. "We need to wait for them to make the first move."
"I agree with Isis-nee's plan." Yuugi agrees. "Like this, the enemy will come our way."
"But they're pros," Anzu warns. "Can we win?"
Miho is sitting against the wall. "Miho doesn't like this." She lets out a yawn.
Isis shakes her head. "It's because they are pros that they will underestimate us. But don't let your guard down."
It is silent before Jounouchi breaks it, annoyed. "This is irritating! This slow strategy! A man should be charging in!" He climbs up the wall.
"Fool!" Honda exclaims.
"Jounouchi-kun!" Yuugi calls out quietly.
Jounouchi stands on the wall. "I can't put up with it anymore! Let's go!" Jounouchi jumps from wall to wall and sees the female standing near one. "One found!" Jounouchi releases his laser, but she moves out of the way.
The female appears from the side, her laser pointing at Jounouchi. "What a fool." She releases her laser. Before the laser hits Jounouchi, Isis suddenly appears at his side, grabs him, and they disappear from view, appearing back with the others.
The female let out a tch and lowered her laser gun. "This won't be a very fun game if this is all there is."
Isis lets out a sigh. "That was close." She looks at Jounouchi. "Be more careful."
Jounouchi nods his head. "Thanks."
Honda looks at his laser gun. "These can't be normal game guns."
Isis narrows her eyes at the laser guns. "It is possible you can get hurt if your sensor gets hit by one."
"Oh no! For real?" Anzu exclaims in disbelief.
"Anzu, stay calm." Isis scolds.
"Damn it…where are they?" Honda curses. "I can't catch their presence at all!"
"This isn't funny!" Anzu exclaims.
"No movement…I don't sense anything at all." Yuugi mutters.
Honda looks at the others, sweat dripping down his cheek. "For now, if they find us first, we lose."
Isis narrows her eyes. "Honda." She warns.
A laser gun appears and points at Honda. "That's right, boy."
The orange male is behind them, the second male is pointing his laser gun at Honda, and the female is to the side of the wall.
"No way! When did they…?" Anzu exclaims, surprised.
"I didn't even sense anything at all!" Yuugi adds, surprised.
"Of course not! Like we'd let you amateurs detect us." The orange-haired male states.
"You guys can use some training to hide your presence." The female comments. "That nervousness is completely unsightly."
"An amateur is just an amateur, after all." The second male adds. "I wanted to play more, but too bad."
Isis narrows her eyes. In a flash, both males and female are knocked to the ground. "Run!" Isis orders.
They all run off in different directions before Isis disappears from view.
"I-Impossible!" The female exclaims.
"I didn't sense her presence at all!" The orange-haired male curses.
Isis hides behind a wall not far from them, yet they still can't sense her. After all, she fought in a war, so she knows how to hide her presence. She peeks behind the wall and releases a laser, which hits the second male sensor, and he falls to the floor. She quickly disappears from that wall, appears behind another one and releases a laser to destroy the female's sensor, causing her to fall to the ground as well. Once more, she disappears from that wall, appears behind another, releases a laser and destroys the orange-haired male's sensor, causing him to fall to the ground.
Isis lets out a sigh and walks out from behind the wall.
"No way!" Anzu exclaims.
"She got them all!" Honda and Jounouchi exclaim at the same time.
"Isis-nee!" Yuugi calls out.
"That's amazing, Isis!" Anzu praises.
~~~With Kaiba and Mokuba~~~
Kaiba lets out a low sound. "I thought so."
"Nii-sama, how did she do that?" Mokuba questions.
"I have no idea, but this is getting interesting." Kaiba comments.
~~~With the Crowd~~~
"The challengers win. They did well to pass Death-T One by beating the pros."
~~~With Yuugi, Isis, and the others~~~
They head towards the next door, which opens, and they head through.
"Alright! Let's keep going on this wave!" Jounouchi states.
"You're one to say." Honda teases.
"What?!" Jounouchi demands.
"You were the first to almost fall if it wasn't for Isis." Honda points out.
Miho waves her hands out in front of her. "Come now. At least we cleared it."
"Yeah!" Yuugi agrees. "Let's keep going on this wave."
The elevator comes to a stop briefly before ascending. Anzu looks up. "I wonder what the next stage is."
Yuugi reaches into his pocket and takes out the card deck. "Jii-chan…Just wait. I'm going to save you."
The elevator comes to a stop. Kaiba appears on the screen in front of them. "And now, to guide you to the next stage."
"We'll win the next game! Right, Yuugi?" Jounouchi queries.
Yuugi nods his head. "Yeah!"
"You're pretty easy-going for winning just one game." Kaiba comments.
"We were always this easy-going!" Jounouchi states.
"How very reliable sounding." Kaiba starts.
Mokuba appears next to Kaiba. "But how long will that ease continue?" Mokuba finishes.
"Death-T Two open," Kaiba calls out as the screen ascends out of the way.
"The second round. Let's go with pep!" Jounouchi cheers.
"Yeah!" They agree as the elevator floor moves, and they go through the next set of doors.
Yuugi blinks, surprised, as numbers are on the wall. "00.01?"
"What is this?" Anzu queries.
"Everyone but Yuugi and Isis pull on a lever." Kaiba orders.
"Alright! Let's pull the levers!" Jounouchi states.
The others rush over to the levers. Yuugi looks at Isis, confused and points at himself. "Then what should I do?"
"You'll know when all the levers are pulled." Kaiba comments.
Miho grabs her lever. "Heavy!"
"Once pulled, don't let go," Kaiba adds.
"Hang in there, Miho-chan!" Honda encourages. Honda pulls his lever.
Anzu pulls her lever. Jounouchi pulls his lever last.
"Miho-chan, are you okay?" Yuugi asks, worried.
"I'm fine…" Miho replies before slowly pulling her lever.
There is a clicking sound before parts of the floor disappear around Yuugi and Isis. "Yuugi! Isis!" Jounouchi calls out.
"What is this?" Honda demands.
Isis grabs hold of Yuugi, pulls him toward her, and places him in front of her as the last parts of the floor disappear. Yuugi lets out a sigh. "That was close! I thought I was going to fall!" Yuugi looks up at Isis. "Thank you, Isis-nee!"
"You're welcome," Isis replies softly.
"Are you okay, Yuugi? Isis?" Anzu calls out.
"Something's there! Be careful, Yuugi-kun! Isis-chan!" Miho warns.
"Something's there?" Yuugi repeats.
Yuugi and Isis turn to see a robot at the other end of the corridor. It slowly moves toward them.
"H-hey! It's a robot!" Anzu exclaims.
"It's huge!" Jounouchi adds surprised.
"It's coming this way!" Yuugi calls out.
"No! I'm scared!" Miho cries as she releases some pressure on her lever.
The robot gets faster, causing Yuugi to gasp and Isis to narrow her eyes.
"If you let go of the lever, it speeds up to crush you guys." Kaiba comments.
Miho quickly pushes her lever back down. "No!"
The robot slows back down.
"If you want to prolong your life, you better not let go of the lever," Kaiba adds.
"But if we don't let go of the lever, we'll become pancakes!" Anzu points out.
"That's right." Kaiba agrees.
"You, bastard! How is this a game!" Jounouchi demands.
"Of course, it's a game," Kaiba replies. "This robot is smeared with Blood. A mad machine. Its name is Blood. In other words, 'Blood'. To stop him, just let go of one of those four levers. You decide that, Yuugi."
Yuugi looks away from the robot. "Kaiba-kun…"
"Oh, right, let me tell you one thing. Blood doesn't like it when people get his name wrong." Kaiba lets out a low chuckle. "That's all. If you want to save your friends, think it over, Yuugi."
"Damn it!" Jounouchi curses.
"What a game!" Anzu states angrily.
"Yuugi, do you know?" Honda questions.
"Which lever do we release, Yuugi?" Jounouchi asks.
Yuugi stands up. "Wait a moment. I'm thinking about it now." 10's lever is Jounouchi-kun. Ummm…Anzu is 11. Honda-kun is 00. Miho-chan is 01.
The robot gets closer.
"Yuugi…" Jounouchi mutters.
Yuugi closes his eyes. He doesn't like it when his name is mistaken. Blood…
"You can do it, Yuugi!" Anzu encourages.
Isis gazes at Yuugi as he continues to have his eyes closed.
00. 01. Yuugi looks behind him when the Robot gets closer. Damn…
Miho struggles to hold her lever down, sweat dripping from her body. "It's no use! Either way, it's over!"
"Miho, hold on! Don't give up!" Anzu encourages.
"Not yet, Yuugi?" Jounouchi queries urgently.
Yuugi drops to his knees and places his hands on his head. "It's no use! I can't think; I'm too panicked!"
"Don't give up, Yuugi!" Anzu scolds. "You should know!"
Isis let out a sigh. "Yuugi, you solved the Millennium Puzzle. Calm yourself down and think carefully."
Yuugi nods his head hesitantly. "01…blood…name…"
"Yuugi…don't panic. We put our lives in your hands." Jounouchi comments.
"Yeah, Yuugi!" Honda agrees. "Everyone's together!"
Miho has a strained smile on her face. "It's okay. Miho is working hard, too."
Yuugi lowers his hands and looks up. "You guys…"
"We're friends, right?" Jounouchi points out.
Yuugi stands up with a smile on his face. "Yeah. We're friends." Yuugi takes out the card deck from his pocket. "Jii-chan…Everyone's together, right?"
The image of Sugoroku appears. Yes. I'm sure you will win. Think, Yuugi! Your cousin and friends are all with you!
Everyone…together. Yuugi closes his eyes as the robot gets closer to him and Isis. Yuugi suddenly opens his eyes. "I know! Anzu, let go of the lever! It's the 11 lever!"
"Eh? I'm letting go!" Anzu lets go of her lever. The robot stops. "It's stopped! The robot stopped!"
The floor returns to normal, and Jounouchi quickly lets go of his lever. "You did it, Yuugi!"
Yuugi rushes over to Jounouchi. "Beat it…we win!"
"Good job, Yuugi!" Anzu praises as she rushes over.
"How did you know?" Honda questions.
"That's amazing!" Miho praises.
Isis lets out a soft chuckle. "You did well, Yuugi."
"I was thinking too much about the name Blood. But what was important was the shape. If the word blood is split up, it can be made of 0's and 1's. If it means Blood, it'd be spelt b-l-o-o-d. This robot has one L too many. The hint was that he hated it when his name was mistaken. So, I knew it was Anzu's 11."
"Good job, Yuugi." Anzu praises.
"Way to go!" Jounouchi says happily.
"That's amazing!" Miho comments happily.
Yuugi laughs sheepishly. "Sorry for taking so long."
"Death-T Two is another victory for us!" Jounouchi states.
A screen appears behind them. They look to see Kaiba. "Kaiba!"
"Congratulations, you cleared it somehow. To continue, Death-T Three." Kaiba comments.
"Eh? Already?" Miho questions with a pout.
"You jerk!" Jounouchi curses. "Let us rest a bit more!"
"Game start!" Kaiba calls out.
The floor beneath the six of them glows before they ascend upward quickly. They suddenly come to a stop, causing them to fall to the ground.
"Where's this place?" Anzu queries.
"W-what?" Jounouchi stutters, surprised.
Something begins to fall from the ceiling. Yuugi looks up, and his eyes widen. "Something's falling!"
The others look up and quickly move out of the way, a block falling before them.
Yuugi looks at the block. "What a shock!"
~~~With the Crowd~~~
"Now Death-T Three quickly begins. This one is life or death." The female says over the speaker.
Bakura looks at the screen with wide eyes as his pendant begins to glow.
With Kaiba and Mokuba, they are watching Yuugi, Isis, and the others on a screen. Another block falls from the ceiling, and Jounouchi quickly moves. A third block falls from the ceiling, and Miho quickly moves out of the way.
