Chapter 10 - Wait, you're a WHAT?!

"We have to find my friends and your brother right now."

"Hmph." Seto turned away from Yami. "I'm well aware of that, Yugi." The two were on the top of a skyscraper and had just defeated two of Marik's rare hunters; Lumis and Umbra. But there was still no sign of Mokuba or any of Yugi's friends and it was troubling.

"Then help me think of a plan. Every second counts." They heard a noise that quickly grew louder.

"Hm?" Seto looked up. A helicopter flew up into their view. They both stared. (like a couple of slackjawed idiots. Forgive me, couldn't resist. XP They did look kinda stupid at that part)

Mokuba stepped to the open door and held on.

"It's me, Seto!" he cried. (No duh! Sorry, I love making fun of the show. XD So fun. The dubbed version is really retarded)

"It's Mokuba!" (I repeat, no duh!) "He escaped!" Seto creid, running to the helicpoter which was landing on the skyscraper. (And thank you Captain Obvious. Ok, I'm done. So sorry, but this is one of the parts I love to mock the most)

Mokuba jumped out, followed by Adelinda and Cat, and they ran over to Yami and Seto.

"Cat!" Yami exclaimed. They ran up to each other.

"Tell me, are you two alright?" Seto asked Mokuba and Adelinda. (I'm gonna use my imagination and pretend he cares) Mokuba nodded.

"Mmm-hmm."

Yami looked at Cat. "Are you OK?" he asked her She blushed lightly.

"Oh, yeah. I'm doing ok. Thanks." She smiled sheepishly.

"But we had to leave Anzu and Kay behind." This caught Yami's attention again. Adelinda bit her lip worriedly and Cat hugged her comfortingly.

"Are they ok? And what about Jounouchi? And Honda?"

"Well, I'm not so sure about Jounouchi or Honda, but up until Kay and Anzu helped us escape from the rare hunters, they were doing alright. We gotta go back there."

"Please, Mr. Yugi!" Adelinda added. "I'm worried about my sister."

"Get in the chopper now!" They all looked at Seto in surprise. "Sounds like YOUR friend Anzu and your sister saved Mokuba's life. And as much as I hate getting involved, I hate owing someone a favor even more."

"Thank you." Adelinda sighed with relief.



They flew up and Mokuba operated his laptop. Seto sat in the middle of Yami and Mokuba, Cat and Adelinda sat across from them and there was one empty seat. (Again, using imagination here)

"Is our satellite tracking system working?" Seto asked Mokuba.

"Yes! I'm picking up a weak signal from Jounouchi's duel disk. It's coming from the same spot where those rare hunters were keeping us. We should be there in about fifteen minutes."

They heard a weak scream.

"Huh?" most of them said.

"what was that?" Mokuba asked. Adelinda looked out the window.

"AIYAH!!! Mein schwester!!!' she cried. sure enough, Kay was below them, running from the rare hunters.

"Seto, we have to help her! She was the one who got us out of there." Seto growled.

Kay was growing tired and they were starting to gain on her.

"Oh no, what do I do?!" she thought desperately. "I can't keep running much longer." The wind around her began to pick up and the chopped was soon close to her. "What the?"

Adelinda and Mokuba looked out.

"Kay-Chan!" Adelinda cried.

"Adelinda?!"

"Grab our hands!" Mokuba yelled. They got close enough and she was able to jump up and take their hands. But the two weren't strong enough to pull her in. Yami and Cat tried to help, but her hand slipped from theirs.

"KAY!!!" Adelinda cried. She gasped as she felt herself start to fall from midair, but a warm hand roughly snatched her wrist. She looked up to see...SETO?!

He was somehow able to pull her up into the chopper.

"How many times do I have to save you?!" he snapped. She glared.

"I'm not exactly asking you to."

"Fine, next time I'll let you fall and crack your head open." They glared daggers at each other, but only for a moment, because Kay was glomped by Mokuba and Adelinda.

"Thank God you're ok!!" they both cried. She smiled and hugged them back.

"Yeah, thanks for coming. I would've been caught for sure if you hadn't helped me out." she sighed and looked at Seto. "And...thanks...for saving me..." she managed to mumble.

"Whatever."

"Even when you're nice to him, he's a cocky, arrogant b-" She stopped there. "B-beesting in the eye?" she offered.

"nice save."

"Thanks, Cat."

"Sure tihng." Seto rolled his eyes and everyone took their seats.

Kay sat in between Cat and Adelionda. I dunno if you all care, but I'm adding this in for extra detail. Kay sat across from Seto, Cat sat across from Yami, and Adelinda across from Mokuba.

Mokuba looked at his laptop. It'as been a few minutes. "The rare hunters' hideout...we're just about eleven miles away. I know exactly where those creeps are keeping Anzu, and Jounouchi should be near by. We'll get them both out of there in no time."

"Wait, hold up. Anzu isn't being held captive in the same place anymore."

"What?" Yami asked. Kay looked guilty. "You see...right after Cat, Mokuba, and Adelinda were able to escape, we were dragged out of the storgae room they locked us in. I racked the guy who had a hold of me and got away, but Anzu couldn't. She told me to find you but now I don't know where they took her. Sorry, Yugi..."

He sighed heavily. "It's not your fault, Kay."

"Well, they should still be near-by. There's no way they're traveling faster than we are, so we'll find them."

"I hope you're right, Mokuba."

"I'm concerned with more important issues," Everyone looked at Seto.

"Great, here we go..." Kay thought.

"Like finding the third Egyptian God Card."

"Egyptian God Cards?" Kay thought. "That kind of rings a bell..." Suddenly, she remembered her uncle telling her of three powerful titans that rampaged Ancient Egypt and held power beyond belief and were considered creatures of the Gods. Slifer the Sky Dragon, Obelisk the Tormentor, and the Winged Dragon of Ra. She recalled how Pegasus told her the Gods overwhelmed him, but he went into no further detail than that.

She knew he had given the three cards he produced of the gods to a woman for hiding. But that's all she remembered.

"Could Kaiba actually have one of those God cards?" she wondered, frowning.

"Tell me, Yugi, who exactly is this Marik? He leads the Rare Hunters, but what else do you know about him?"

"Well I've never actually seen his face, but I know that he possessed a millennium item much like my own millennium puzzle." Cat looked up at this, worry in her face. Kay's face remained emotionless, but her mind was racing with thoughts, trying to make connections.

"Hmph, those again?" Seto asked. "Spare me the bogus magic talk, Yugi."

"Kaiba, you have already experienced the great power of a millennium item first hand. Or have you forgotten about Pegasus and his millennium eye?" Kay immediately looked up sharply at the mention of her uncle.

"That was just a cheap trick." Mokuba looked at Seto.

"But Seto, Pegasus DID use his millennium eye to trap us."

"That's enough, just drop it, Mokuba."

"I beg your pardon?" Kay asked coldly. Yami looked up at her.

"That's right, Pegasus never did let you in on what specifically happened during duelist kingdom, did he Kay?"

"Hmph...the only reason I'm even talking to you or trying to help is because my uncle called me today and told me he's alright."

"Well, I can assure you I did not put him into a coma, but I'm glad to hear he is OK."

"Now what were you carrying on about? Magic or whatever?"

"Your uncle possessed a millennium item like my puzzle. And he used it to trap the souls of Mokuba, Kaiba, and my grandfather into the shadow realm."

"WHAT?! You've got to be kidding me!"

"Don't listen to him." She looked at Seto. "Yugi and his friends have lost their minds. They still believe magic and fairy tales exist. Even though you are annoying and I think your uncle is nuts, I don't see much point in Yugi stealing your sanity." She glared at Seto.

"Gee, how sweet of you..." she muttered icily.

"Whatever, it's all a bunch of cheap tricks." Yami sighed.

"You can believe whatever you choose, but I assure you my puzzle is no trick. And Kay, I am not lying to you. Pegasus did use his millennium item, however he had good intentions behind it. He did it to revive his wife."

"A-Aunt Cecelia?" she said. Yami nodded.

"Yes." Her face fell.

"That's right...she died when I was just a little girl...Adelinda never got to meet her..." She sighed. "Poor Uncle...I forget how lonely he is."

"OK, enough pity over Pegasus, that nutcase doesn't deserve it." Kay looked up at Seto, anger flashing in her eyes.

"WILL YOU SHUT UP?! If you don't care, then keep your big mouth shut, you idiot! Just because you HAVE no heart-"

"WHO ARE YOU TO JUDGE ME?"

"I COULD ASK YOU THE SAME THING!"

"Guys!" Mokuba cried desperately. "Please don't fight." They sank back into their chairs, arms crossed and scowls on their faces.

"Fine!" they both snapped.

"They're like little kids!" Adelinda whispered to Mokuba.

"I know." Yami shook his head.

"Well, continuing with what I was saying. My puzzle is not a trick. And I'm not exactly who you tihnk I am, Kaiba."

"Hm?" Seto looked at him.

"I am actually a 3,000-year-old spirit who lives within the chambers of the millennium puzzle." Everyone's jaws dropped, except for Cat's.

"That's a lie!" Seto said. "Do you honestly expect me to believe you?"

"It's true, Kaiba. At one time I lived in Egypt. It was there I ruled as pharaoh."

"Say WHAT?!" Adelinda and Kay exclaimed in unison.

"As...pharaoh?!" Seto said.

"No way!" Mokuba added. The expressions on the Kaiba brothers was completely identical. You could totally see the relation between the two.

"But it can't be."

"Cat, did you know this?" Kay asked, looking at Cat who seemed unfazed by all of this.

"Well...yeah..."

"Your pharaoh story's not true." They looked at Seto. "There's no way! That woman Ishizu told me the same lie at the museum. He chuckled evilly. "you? Pharaoh? What a joke. I spoke to that crazy woman also, Yugi, but unlike you, I didn't buy into her story."

"Stubborn as usual..." Kay muttered.

"Look, what Ishizu said is true. I know it...I know who I must stop. And I'll never forget the day I first heard his name."

"Were you there for this too, Cat?"

"Yes. It was duel against a rare hunter with Exodia."

"Wooooow...that's tough."

"Yup. But he won. He found Exodia's weak point."

"Really?! That's incredible." Cat nodded. "The only way I can think to beat Exodia is maybe Card Destruction or something like that."

"He used Chain Destruction."

"Hey, I was close." Cat giggled.

"So let me get this straight, Marik wants to rule the world?" Mokuba asked. (He sounded so adorable at that part... ^^ I love that kid, he's so damn cute.) "and he thinks getting all three Egpytian God Cards will give him to power to do it? Guess that explains why he's going through all this trouble just to get his hands on them."

"That's ridiculous, Mokuba." Kay sighed.

"And here we go."

"Yugi, do me a favor and stop corrupting my borther's mind with your lies."

"They're not lies! And you've heard Marik's plan first hand, remember?"

"Were you there at this part, Cat?" Kay asked.

"I don't think so."

"Ok. So I'm not the only one in the dark at this point?"

"Heh, I guess you can say that."

"Hm, using magic powers to control people's minds. I'll bet you still believe in the tooth fairy as well." (LOL, XD. I love that line. All hail Seto and his sexy, gravity defying trench coat along with his sarcasm)

"Marik's powers are very real and very dangerous. And now that he's captured my friends, there's no telling what he plans to do with them." Yami clenched his fist. "We have to locate my friends and get them away from that madman as soon as possible...before it's too late!"

"We're only two miles from our target, guys."

"Good. Then it won't be long before we find Anzu and Jounouchi."

"I'm tired of hearing about your friends, Yugi."

"Because you don't have any." He ignored Kay's comment.

"Especially that hack, Jounouchi."

"Jounouchi has become an extremely skilled duelist, Kaiba, In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if he had already qualified to the Battle City finals."

"jounouchi?" Kay whispered to Cat. "Is that the annoying blonde one?"

"Yeah." ^^;

"Hmm...he was weird. And he didn't look like much of a duelist."

"He's actually really good."

"I heard his deck is based off luck. Or was that a nasty rumor?"

"Well..."

"Ah, so I'm right?"

"Kind of....his deck does kind of depend on luck..."

"Mmm-hmm." Kay sat back. "Not a very stable strategy, but that's just my opinion."

"What's your deck based off?" Cat asked. Kay smiled and winked.

"That's a secret. But come the Battle City finals, I'll show off the secret powers my deck holds."

"Yeah!" Adelinda said. They both grinned.

"Not to worry my friends, I promise I will set you free."

"Wow, I forgot about Yugi for a moment."

"Look, the Rare Hunters' hideout." They all looked out the windows. "It's just up ahead!"

"Begin our descent. Immediately."

"Yes Mr. Kaiba."

"Does he even know the word please?" Kay asked Adelinda, who grinned a little and shrugged.
