Chapter 8 - A total of four Locater Cards and a Group of Thugs

"Wow Kay-chan, you totally creamed that guy!" Kay smirked and nodded.

"Yup. And this time we didn't bet locater cards so I won his rarest card." Kay grinned at Tri Horned Dragon card in her hand. It was a very powerful card. "My Dragons are impossible to beat, and I still didn't need to use my Blue Eyes."

"But you've beaten at least five duelists and only bet locater cards with one guy."

"True...perhaps I should try and fit in two more cards before I go to find Adelinda."

"How about that guy?" Alex pointed to a guy wearing a duel disk with a dark cloak on.

"...hm...sure." Kay smirked and walked up to the man. He was on a laptop, looking at the Duelists." "Hey you." He looked up. "Care to duel?" He smirked.

"Well, looky here. The prey comes right to me."

"Let me guess, another rare hunter?"

"I see you're well informed."

"I beat the last one who challenged me quickly, let's see if you actually make me break a sweat."

"You're a fiesty little one, aren't you?"

"You might say that."

"OK, fine. We'll have a duel."

"Wait, how many locater cards do you have?"

"Two."

"As do I. So let's wager our locater cards along with our rarest card."

"Fine, but your chances at victory are zero."

"Bring it, you caped clown."

They released their hologram projectors and drew their hands.

"Duel!" They each gained 4000 lifepoints.



The workers were searching and observing the duels very carefully. Suddenly, Seto walked into the room.

"Mr. Kaiba."

"Have you found one of the Egyptian Gods, yet?"

"Sorry sir, but we're still searching."

"Hmph." Mokuba walked in with Adelinda at his side.

"Hey, my big sister is dueling." Adelinda pointed to the screen and you could see Kay's duel.

"That's your sister?" Seto asked. Adelinda nodded.

"Yeah. She's a really good duelist. I'll bet you she can win this whol tournament." Seto snickered a bit.

"We'll see."

"Mokie, do you think we can stick around to watch Kay-chan duel?" Adelinda asked.

"You'll have to ask my brother. We're following his agenda."

"Mr. Kaiba, please?" she begged, giving him a cute face. Seto looked at her.

"...fine."

"Yay!" Seto crossed his arms and focused his attention on the moniter. Now he could see how could this girl really was.

The duel proceeded and Kay won.

"HA! See that? You Rare Hunter dorks have no chance against a duelist of my ability."

"No...I-I...lost...AGH! MASTER!!!" the rare hunter yelled, gripping his forehead. Kay stared at him.

"H-hey, what's the matter with you?" she asked.

"Kay, that guy's going nuts!" Alex yelled.

"I can see that!"

"M-master, please forgive m-NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

"AHHHH!" Alex and Kay yelled. The hood of the man fell down and you could see a glowing eye on his forehead.

"Hello, Kay."

"H-how do you know my name? And what happened to your voice?"

The rare hunter laughed. "This pathetic fool is now just a doll and I'm talking through him using the power of my millennium rod. But you have not been properly exposed to the power of the millennium items so I'll save my explanation."

"Who are you, freak?"

"I am Marik, and you should remember that name."

"Why?"

"Necause I have watched you throuhg the eyes of my rare hunters and I know that you can get in my way."

"Oh really."

"Yes."

"Hmph. So you've been stalking me?"

"My hunters are everywhere, like it or not."

"Great. First Kaiba, now some freaky dude who controls people. Terrific, just terrific."

"People are stalkers, Kay."

"I know."

"Well, better watch out for those you care about and for yourself. We have our sights set on you and your rare cards. Although it's not registered in the computers, I know you have a Blue Eyes White Dragon."

"Don't even think about taking my Blue Eyes. I'll be dead before you get your paws on it."

"We'll meet again...sooner than you think..." The rare hunter fell over. Alex blinked.

"OK, that was FREAKY."

"Yeah, who IS this Marik guy?"

"I wish I knew. Come on, let's just go."

"Right." They walked away and wandered aimlessly around the park. Suddenly, a girl crashed into them, knocking them all to the ground.

"Ow!" Kay and Alex said.

"I'm sorry!" the girl cried. She was about their age with long brown hair in a ponytail, blue eyes, a brown jacket, white T-shirt, a silver cartouche with the name "Cat" carved on it, blue jeans, and tennis shoes.

"I-it's ok. Are you in a hurry?"

"Well, I am looking for my friend, Yugi. Have any of you seen him?" Kay looked annoyed at the mention of Yugi, but shook her head and answered calmly,

"No, we haven't seen him. Sorry." Cat sighed.

"Man, I've run all over Battle City looking for h- Hey, are you a duelist?"

"Um, yeah."

"Cool! How many locater cards have you won?"

"She's won four!" Alex said proudly. Kay smiled a bit and nodded.

"Yeah."

"That's great. You'll probably make it to the finals."

"Heh, that's what I'm hoping."

"My name is Cat."

"I'm Kay, this is my friend Alex."

"Wassup?"

"Don't you two go to Domino High?"

"Yes, why?"

"So do I. Wanna sit together at lunch sometime? I don't have enough female friends." Kay smiled and laughed a little.

"Sure."

"Cool. Well, I'm off. Maybe I'll see you guys tomorrow."

"Yeah, later Cat." She waved and ran off.

"Well, she seemed nice." Kay nodded.

"Yeah. Come on, let's keep going."

Soon enough, Kay got a call on her cell phone from Adelinda and went to go meet her. Alex was getting tired so she decided to head home.

"Thanks for coming with me, Mokuba."

"No problem." They walked on and a gang of three thugs walked up.

"Hey, look guys, it's the little brother of that rich guy."

"Think he's got some money on him?"

"Heh, probably."

"Hey, who are you jerks?" Mokuba asked.

"Now now, be a good little boy and give us your money."

"I don't have any money."

"Mokuba, I'm scared!"

"Don't worry, Adelinda."

"Aw, how cute."

"Heh, yeah."

"Maybe we should snag em both so Kaiba will pay up."

"Good plan." One thug grabbed Adelinda and she started kicking like crazy.

"Hey! Let go!!"

"Adelinda!"

"Come on, you little brat."

"Let her go!"

"Aw, look, he's trying to be brave. Heh, stupid kid." They grabbed Mokuba and he tried to get away but was failing.

"Now, come on, let's get em out of here before we draw attention to ourselves."

"Help!" they cried.

"Yeah, let's g-" Th thug was cut off by a grunt as he was punched in the stomach.

"Kay!" Adelinda cried.

"Let go of my little sister!" She punched the thug holding Adelinda and he immediately dropped her and the other thug with Mokuba did the same. "Both of you, get out of here and go for help while I hold them off."

"Right, come on Adelinda."

"Ok." Mokuba took her hand and they ran out of the alley.

"Look boys, this chick thinks she's so tough. Let's teach her a lesson."

"Yeah."

Mokuba and Adelinda ran across the street and a limo hit the brakes before crashing into them. Seto looked out the window.

"Mokuba?! What are you doing?"

"Seto, help us. These thugs jumped us and now Adelinda's sister is fighting them off alone."

"Please Mr. Kaiba, we have to help her."

Kay grunted as they pushed her into the wall. Her body was sore and she was tired from the fight.

"Heh, did you honestly think you could beat all three of us?" Her head was spinning painfully and her vision was blurring and she blacked out.
