Sorry for the long LONG delay, but I have a lot of stuff happening lately. Anyway, here's a key which will appear in all of my future stories/chapters, just so that you won't get confused.

It was a cold and stormy night as the sounds of thunder can be heard. Tea fell down on her knees with tears in her eyes as images of her friends: Yugi, Joey, Tristan, Duke, and Bakura were moving away from her, as well as a sixth one, a female. She then turned around with a sly grin as she then waved, not in a friendly manner, but in a mocked, unsympathetic manner.

"But…why…Serenity?" Tea shrieked, as tears poured from her eyes.

"It's simple." She responded. "There's only room for one female in the group, and from their actions..." Her grin became wider. "They want me, not you!"

Tea was speechless. How could her friends, after all they've been through, out of the blue abandon her for someone who wasn't even at their age level? Sure Serenity was only younger by at least two years, but it was as if they've known her for years. She then heard uninvited sounds around her. Those of which were filled with laughter, pity, and mock.

"Stop…please…" She begged. "Why are you doing this…WAIT!"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Tea shot up on the bead as an Alert Signal blasted throughout the cabin. "Ehlusehk tydy! Gullwings, du ouin cdydeuhc! (Incoming data! Gullwings, to your stations!)" A voice on the audio system shouted as Tea was trying to get up from the bed.

"Mom…I'm up…" She mumbled as she walked downstairs, as a Hypello from the bar nearby greeted her.

"Good morning, Tea!" He said.

"Good morning." She replied, then asked. "Is it always like this?"

"I'm afraid Sho..." He explained. The Gullwings always had to be up bright and early if they were going to be the first ones to find any new spheres that might turn up. Especially from their biggest rival: The LeBlanc Syndicate. Every encounter with them always led up to the fight, with the Gullwings usually winning. Sometimes, their luck has run out on them a few times as they usually ended up losing the spheres to (read: having them stolen by) the Syndicate. Hopefully, with Logos and Ormi gone, retrieving the spheres won't be as much trouble as usual.

"So they're all at the bridge?" She asked.

"Yesh Mam!" He replied, then looked at her quizically. "Are yoo shoore yoo want to go oot looking like that?"

Tea looked down at her "Hello Kitty" pajamas as she then blushed. "Right…thanks…"

Back in Domino, a limousine was pulling up to Domino Harbor as it then came to a complete stop.

"Mr. Kaiba, we're here!" The driver said as the door to the backseat opened…

"Keep the engine running, this won't take long…" Kaiba stepped out from the limo, with the briefcase in hand. He was debating with himself if he should actually go through with Logos and Ormi's demands. On one hand, it wasn't exactly something Kaiba has never handled before. If Kaiba were to receive a dime…make that a nickel for every time someone kidnapped Mokuba for ransom, he'd be twice as rich as he was now. On the other hand, he doesn't exactly know what the Two Syndicate Members were actually capable of. Besides, if he could send those two home, he wouldn't have to worry about either of them coming back. Plus, it may give him a chance to see if the final version of the Transphere worked. With it's success, Kaiba could bring Duel Monster tournaments not only in this Dimension, but in others as well, such as the world where the two kidnappers were from.

"Let's get this over with…" Kaiba opened the door to the warehouse as he stepped in. He searched for any signs of his little brother. "Mokuba?" He called out, but there was no answer. "MOKUBA!?" He shouted, again no answer. Worry began to show on the young CEO's face.

"There's no need to worry about the brat!" Logos voice was heard from behind as Kaiba turned around and shot him his trademark death glare.

"Where's my brother?" He threatened. Not in any mood for games.

"He's fine, but depending on what you do, he won't be for long…" Ormi reminded. "Remember, his fate is in your hands."

"Did you bring everything?" Logos asked a seething Kaiba.

He opened the silver briefcase, revealing a Transphere, but not like the ones he gave Tea and Yugi. It was slightly bigger than the others, but it had a few features. It contained little sensors of some sort on the area where your hands would be placed as it also had a sapphire placed in the middle.

"Where's Mokuba!" Kaiba demanded. His patience, or what was left of it, was wearing thin.

Ormi pressed a button on a remote which was in his hand as chains appeared to be going up. Kaiba looked up and indeed saw Mokuba being lowered. The young boy's eyes opened wide at the sight of his big brother!

"Seto!" He cried out. "Help me!"

"Hang on, Mokuba!" Kaiba was about to go get him down, but was stopped by the bullets shot at his feet.

"Not so fast…" Logos stated. "Remember our deal?"

"Don't do it, Seto!" Mokuba shouted. Apparently he didn't trust the members of the LeBlanc Syndicate.

"Quiet, Brat!" Ormi was about to hit Mokuba, but Kaiba took out a card from his trench coat, namely the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, as he threw it like a dart in an attempt to block the attack.

However, Logos saw this as he then took the opportunity to fire a shot at the card, knocking it back to his feet and leaving a huge bullet hole in the middle. Much to Seto's distraught…

"No…" Kaiba dropped down to his knees as he saw the now-damaged rare Duel Monsters card. "My Blue Eyes…" Tears began to form in his eyes…

"How sad…" Logos sighed in pity at the fallen Seto Kaiba.

"Now you guys have really done it…" Mokuba glared, as he said it with both angry and annoyance.

"I thought we told you to be quiet, Brat!" Logos responded as Ormi looked dumbfounded.

"Done what?" He asked.

"My sweet Blue Eyes…" Kaiba held the now-ruined card in his hands as the hole clearly went through the face of the dragon. The Blue-Eyes White Dragon, next to Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon, was not only his most powerful monster in his deck, but was also his most favorite card. There were only 4 Blue Eyes White Dragons in the world and, under the influence of his darker side, he tore up one that belonged to Yugi's grandfather. Now, with this event, there were only 2 left. 2 Blue Eyes which he fortunately owned. However, he would never be able to form Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon ever again.

"So where's the Sphere coming from, Buddy?" Rikku asked as a Bleached Blonde, Dark-tanned man looked on through a screen.

"Still analyzing…" He said as he looked at the map…it appeared to be in a dark, but beautiful forest according to the map. "It's located in Thunder Plains," He stated.

"Does LeBlanc know about yet?" A young woman with brown slightly-messy hair whose length reached her bottom neck, asked. Despite that she felt that she already knew the answer of her question.

"What do you think, Yuna?" a Woman who appeared to be around the same age as the first but lightly taller and with short white hair, rolled her eyes. "LeBlanc and her goons would do anything to get spheres."

"Paine's right." Rikku nodded. "Remember what they did to the Celsius? We were swamped with repairs for weeks! Are you sure you think she's up to this?"

"With the device I've created, she'll be fine." A young boy in a bodysuit which even covered his face assured as he walked over with something which resembled a duel-disk of some time. "If she's good at this Duel Monsters game, she'll be fine."

"Shinra, are you sure?" Paine asked, skeptical that this would actually work. "Have you even tested it out?"

"The Testing was a bit brief, but it should work."

"And what if it doesn't?"

"Hey, I'm just a kid." Shinra shrugged as Paine sighed. That was his excuse for everything that would go wrong with one of his inventions. But then again, he did invent the Garment Grid.

"The most important thing is if our guest can cut it." Paine reminded As the sliding door from behind opened as Tea ran out, hopping on her right foot as she tried to zip up her left boot before tripping on the stairs which, consequently, caused her to tumble all the way down.

"Speaking of whom…" Pain sighed as Tea recovered up.

"Eheheh…hiya!" She responds nervously.

"Good news!" Rikku chirped. "You're going on your first mission!"

"First mission?" Tea responded, confused. "Of what?"

"Why Sphere Hunting, silly!" Rikku explained. "We found one in Thunder Plains, an easy one. So you're going to retrieve it?"

"Isn't that a bit dangerous?" She asked, concerned. Despite what Rikku told her, she still was unsure about this Sphere Hunting gig. Let alone, it was at the same place.

"There's no need to worry." Said a voice, with a bit of a German accent. "You're not the only one's going." They looked back towards the source of the voice as Rikku sighed.

"Oh great…here comes Johnny Sunshine…" She rolled her eyes as a man with a bleached blonde Mohawk approached them. He was wearing nothing but jean overalls and boots.

"Tea isn't the only one who'll retrieve the sphere. Rikku's going to!" He explained

"Fryd!? (What!?)" Rikku responded, shocked.

"Sounds like a good idea, Brother." Buddy added.

"Rikku does have the most experience out of the three of us…" Paine reminded, comparing Rikku to herself and Yuna.

"Oh come on!" Rikku complained. It appeared that even though she spent the week down in the plains, she was still afraid of lightning.

"Don't worry Rikku, it's not like you'll get struck by lightning, remember."

"It could happen…" She muttered.

"Rikku, as your leader I order you to accompany Tea in retrieving the sphere!" Brother stated.

"Aww… Ru vyen… (Aww…No fair…)" Rikku whined as she held her head down, defeated.

"Meva'c hud vyen, taym fodr ed! (Life's not fair, deal with it!)" Brother crossed his arms, "Aht ut teclicceuh!" (End of discussion!)

"Oh poopie…" She pouted as Tea placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Don't worry, it shouldn't be that bad, right?" She said, trying to cheer her up.

"Easy for you to say!" Rikku pouted, "You never got struck by lightning before…"

"Try being mind controlled by some madman obsessed with ruling the world!" Tea replied at Rikku's statement as Shinra then approached her with the device. "What's this, some type of duel disk?"

"Precisely…." He replied. "This device should make any monster card you play come to life. So if you should run into any fiends, you can summon a monster to dispose of them.

"Cool." She looked at the duel disk as she then placed it on her arm. Hopefully it would make sphere hunting much better. "All I need is to grab my deck and I'll be ready." Tea runs off back to the cabin area as Paine has a skeptical look on her face.

"You're sure she can cut it as a sphere hunter?" She asked Yuna.

"Give her a chance. I mean, what can she do wrong?"

"Well guys, looks like Tea isn't in this world." Yugi said as he and the gang stood outside the Pokemon Center.

"So she's in a different world, Yuge!" Joey shrugged. "Don't worry about it."

"This coming from the same guy who was at Mai's bedside while she's was in the Shadow Realm?" Tristan reminded.

"Hey, at least she didn't leave us on purpose. Marik trapped her mind in, remember?"

"Guys, stop fighting." Serenity stepped between them, having a feeling that they would get into a fight. "We need to find Tea." She turned to Yugi. "Yugi, maybe we need to go to another dimension to find her."

Yugi nodded, "Agree, but first, there's one thing we need to do…" The Millennium puzzle flashed as Yami stood in his place. "Now it's time to release them from the Shadow Realm…"

"Oh yeah, Yuge! You sent dose Team Rocket freaks to the Shadow Realm." Joey remembered.

Yami nodded as an eye then appeared on his forehead. After the eye disappeared, Yami then changed back to Yugi.

"Okay, let's go!" Yugi took out the Transphere as everyone grabbed on. After the blue flash, everyone was gone.

Ash and co were walking towards Petalburg Gym where Ash was looking to win his fifth badge. Suddenly…

"IT'S THE TWERPS!" Team Rocket screamed as they ran towards Ash and co, placing them in a big hug.

"Oh, we're so glad to see you!" Jessie says with tears in her eyes. "We're so glad to see your beautiful twerpy faces!"

"We're sorry for everything we've done to you! Please don't let that mean Pharaoh send us back to the Shadow Realm!" James begged. "Marik is too mean!"

"Dat guy's crazy!" Meowth whined. "He's worse than da boss!"

"Uhh…" Ash has nothing to say as he looked to his friends…

"That was…random!" Brock said as James hugged him closely, almost to tears.

At the Thunder Plains…Rikku was a bit freaked out by the lightning…

"Hof E myo sa tufh du cmaab… (Now I lay me down to sleep…)" She mewed, scared that the lightning would hit her.

"Jeez Rikku, you camped out here for a week for cripes sake, and you're still afraid of lightning!?" Tea said, skeptical about Rikku's phobia.

"Why don't you try being shocked to death!" She challenged. "Hmph!" She looked towards the opposite directions.

Tea gets an idea, as she crept close to Rikku. Then…

"RIKKUWATCHOUTFORTHATLIGHTNING!" She shouted as Rikku shrieked as she dived to the ground. When she saw Tea giggling afterwards, she mumbled Al Bhed curses under her breath.

"Oh come on! We need to find that sphere, right?"

"Right…" Rikku got up from the ground as she brushed herself off. She then looked towards Tea, deciding which would be the perfect way to get back at her.

"This sphere could be around anywhere, right?" Tea asked.

"If LeBlanc didn't beat us to it, first…" Rikku responded as a smile then formed on her face. She figured out the best way to get back at her for the lightning false alarm. "Tea…you said that Krump dueled you for your body, right?"

"Don't remind me…" Tea said in disgust, wanting to forget about the whole Virtual World experience, let alone that part. She figured it was obvious why Krump wanted her body in her first place…

"Well…let's just say that in these parts, there are a few guys who…nahh…"

"Guys who what?" Tea asked, wanting to know what she was going say, but Rikku kept her mouth shut. "Tell me!"

"Okay…" She looked at Tea straight in the eye. "How old are you?"

"Umm...sixteen." She said.

"Sixteen, huh? So I guess you're underage…"

"Underage? What do you mean?" Tea's expression on her face said it all: She was now very concerned about this place, if she wasn't before…

"Well…some guys in the Thunder Plains…they…well…let's just say that you wouldn't be innocent anymore."

"You mean that there's people who…"

"I'm afraid so… But don't worry, my friend. I'm sure that they won't lay a hand on you with me around." She assured, then grinned evilly. "Especially the guy who's about to look up your skirt."

Tea screamed as she jumped forward, looking back to see nothing. She then heard Rikku giggling.

"Gotcha!" She declared.

"You…" Tea narrowed her eyes as she then placed her into a headlock. "You scared the living daylights out of me!"

"Well you did it to me, first!" Rikku gagged as she managed to shove the brunette off of her.

Tea sighed, "Let's just find this sphere, okay? Then we can argue…"

"Right-o!" Rikku nodded with a smile as she decided to run off ahead.

"Hey, wait up!" Tea followed, not wanting to be left behind. After it has been for about ten minutes, they managed to come across a cave.

"Hmm…" Rikku rubbed her chin, "Never been around here before?"

"What do you think it is?" Tea asked.

"Not sure, but I bet we might find what we're looking for?" Rikku walked inside of the cave, "Come on!"

"Are you sure about this?" Tea asked.

"Just come on! Besides, you can defend yourself remember?"

Tea sighed as she followed. "Right…provided that I draw the right card…"

"What do you mean when you say 'draw the right card?'" Rikku asked.

"What if I run into a strong fiend and I draw a very weak monster like Petite Angel?"

"Tea Tea Tea… you worry too much." Rikku stopped as she then noticed a shine of an orange color…

"What is it?" Tea asked.

"Sister, we found ourselves a sphere!" Rikku declared. "And the best part of all, we didn't have to run into-"

"Well well well…" A female voice from behind said. Rikku turned back as her eyes then narrowed…

"Her…" She groaned at the blonde woman who was wearing a pink outfit which was very revealing at the chest, leaving a red heart tattooed on her chest. Standing on each side were two women dressed in mahogany bodysuits, save for the headgear which contained a veil which covered their faces.

"What happened to your usual sidekicks, LeBlanc?" Rikku mused, even though she kind of knew where they may be already.

"Since I couldn't find those two boneheads, I decided it was time to find a few replacements for the time being, Loves!" She said, then noticed Tea. "Speaking of new recruits… you could've done a bit better. Just look at her clothes!" LeBlanc gave a chuckle. "Can you Dullwings get even more pathetic?"

To say that Tea was insulted would be an understatement. She may have been call a lot of things such as "Goody-Goody," "Weakling," or even "Friendship Freak," but no-one has ever dared to insult her outfit. Everyone knew how much pride Tea took when it came to her fashion sense. Even Kaiba avoid making a comment about how she was dressed. She was about to give the Syndicate Leader a piece of her mind, or fist rather, until Rikku stopped her.

"Tea, I wouldn't want to do that if I were you…" She warned. "Yes, she's a snob. But she knows a bit of magic too!"

"Yes Tia, you better listen to your friend. I wouldn't want your first mission to be your last."

" It's Tea! Tea!" Tea pronounced her name for LeBlanc. "Hope you got it through that thick head of yours!"

"Whatever…I have better things to do than to play with a bunch of Amateurs, let alone Amateurs who are just little girls."

Tea scoffed at that remark, "Well at least I'm not some grandmother!" She retorted.

LeBlance began to twich. "Nobody… has dared to call me…old…" She seethed as she then snapped. "That's it, Dullwings! I'm going to teach you a lesson in manners!" She then looked to her Fem-Goons, "GET THEM!"

"Yes Boss!" They nodded as they began to creep closer!

"Let's see if this works…" Tea thought to herself as she then drew a card from her deck. To her luck, it was a Trap Hole Trap Card. "This'll keep you in check." She then placed it on the board of her duel disk. "Activate Trap Hole!" Suddenly, a hole then formed under the goons, which caused them to be eliminated. Much to LeBlanc's shock.

"How did you-It can't be-" She growled, "That's it, Loves! Now I'm mad!" With a movement with her hands, a strong force of wind blasted at Rikku and Tea, knocking them back into the stone wall of the cave…hard…

"She…can do that?" Tea asked as she recovered, rubbing the pain which was in her lower back.

"She can do a lot of things…" Rikku stated, "Just be glad that Logos and Ormi aren't with her…"

"You mean she could do worse?" Tea asked as Rikku nodded. "Looks like I'm gonna have to use another card…" Tea drew another card from her deck, as a smile came into place. "This reminds me of Yugi." She says as she then placed it on the board. "I summon Dark Magician Girl!" In an instant, the Dark Magician Girl appeared on the board, as LeBlanc looked on in shock.

"What's this, some type of fiend!?" She asks, startled.

"Something like that…" Rikku smiled as she looked at Tea, wanting her to give LeBlanc the final blow.

"Dark Magician Girl, hit her with Dark Burning Attack!" Tea ordered as then the Dark Magician Girl used her wand to fire a burst of magical energy towards an intimidated LeBlanc. After the dust settled, LeBlanc was down, weakened and trying to get back up… If her clothes wasn't revealing before, thanks to the blast they were now…

"I-I won't forget this! I won't go so easy on you next time…" She snapped as she ran off.

"Hmph…sore loser." Tea scoffed as the Dark Magician Girl disappeared as she turned off the duel disk. Meanwhile, Rikku managed to grab the sphere off of the of the rock-formed pedestal.

"Heheheh…Youth wins again!" She cheered as then an incoming call came onto her communicator.

"This is Brother, can you read me?" The voice responded.

"We're fine, and we got the sphere!" She replied.

"You found the sphere?"

"Yes. We've ran into LeBlanc, though. But thinks to Tea, handling her was a piece of cake."

"Tea…Tea defeated LeBlanc!?" Brother responded, skeptical that they could've defeated the so-called mighty LeBlanc that easily.

"Yep! It was "Dark Burning Attack!" And LeBlanc was sent packing with her tail between her legs. They totally wet their pants!" Rikku waited for Brother to respond, but nothing came out from the communicator. "Hello!"

"Numo luf! Fa zimd kud uincamjac yhudnan Sphere Hunter! (Holy cow! We just got ourselves another Sphere Hunter!)" Brother shouted on the receiver, causing Rikku to slightly flinch. "Gullwings! We got the sphere!"

"What's going on?" Tea asks, overhearing the commotion.

Rikku draped an arm around her shoulder. "Well...let's just say that we're going to be together for a long time."

"Okay…"

Serenity's eyes slowly open as she finds herself on some type of plain land. "Where are we…"

"I don't know…" Tristan scratched his head as he got up. "Looks like we're not in that Petalburg City place anymore…"

"Aw who cares?" Joey shrugged. "At least 'de air is fresh." He inhaled some of the said air, then exhales in relaxation.

"Well…let's look." Yugi decided. "Tea can't be that far…"

"Hey, you whippersnappers!" A voice of an elderly man shouted at them as Yugi and co looked back.

"Er…guys? I don' think that we're 'round humans anymore…" Joey stated as an elderly purple-skinned, elf-like creature stomped towards them.

"Do you know that you're trespassing on sacred land!?" He shouted, then noticed something about the four kids, or lack thereof… "Wait a minute, you're not dead!"

"No duh ya old kook!" Joey retorted, thus causing another man to come out. He appeared to have the same appearance as the first, except he was taller and more built, as well as having long white hair as opposed to the older man's Mohawk-like hair. The most notable difference of all is that while the older man had a halo, the younger one didn't. He dressed in the similar elegant robes as the older one.

"How dare you speak to the Supreme Kai that way!" He snapped.

"Wait-a-minute! Supreme Wat?" Joey scratched his head.

"You mean that you're the ruler of this land?" Yugi asked as he pushed Joey aside.

"Yes." He said as he has since calmed down. "I'm Kibito-Shin and this is the Supreme Kai of Otherworld."

"Otherworld?" Yugi and his friends replied at the same time.

"That's right." He nodded. Recently he was the Supreme Kai before Gohan, a young Saiyan Warrior, broken the Z-Sword, thus releasing the elder Kai. "So how did you get here?"

Yugi showed him the Transphere. "This!"

Both Kais took a glance at it. "Never seen such technology before…" Kibito-Shin commented as the Elder Kai smacked him in the head.

"We can worry about the new device later. Right now we need to get back to the fight!" He reminded as the two Kais then ran off.

"Hey, wait…" Yugi ran off, following the two Kais.

"A fight!?" A smile began to form on Joey's face as he then followed. "All rite!" He cheered. "Let's go, Tristan!"

"Right behind ya, Buddy!" He responded as Serenity looked on, confused.

"Guys, shouldn't we be focused on finding Tea?" She asked.

Joey looked back at his sister. "Aw come on' Sis! We'll find her eventually!" He assured. "But for right now, by the way those guys were running off, we're missin' da fight of da century!"

"Umm…okay…" Serenity decided that it would be best if she followed. Odds were that they could actually find Tea where they're going. But what if they don't, or worse yet, what if it was too late?

Back on the Celsius, Shinra had a huge smile on his face as he was putting the finishing touches of another duel disk. On the computer screen was pictures of various duel monster cards scanned from a book.

"At last..." He sighed, "It's complete."

"What's complete?" Yuna asked, hands behind her back.

"The complete set for the dueling arena?" He stated.

"Dueling arena?" Paine walked in, not exactly thrilled with the idea. "We're supposed to be Sphere Hunters!"

"True, but who's says that we can't make a little more money!" The young Ah-Bhed boy stated as he examined the duel disk. "If we open up a dueling arena in Luca, we could make Blitzball and Sphere Break look like just another fad in the past."

"Sounds great and all, but what are we going to do about cards?" Buddy asked. He was intrigued with the idea, but he knew that the cards were the most important thing to this potential business venture.

"I've already made three prototype cards, thanks to this picture book of cards and this monster card Tea let me borrow." Shinra held up a card which revealed to be a "Lady of Faith" monster card. "To demonstrate this card, we would have to go on the deck. However, I'm still working on producing Effect Monsters, Traps, Spells, and Rituals."

"Looks like you got it under control!" Buddy gave Shinra a thumbs-up.

Paine sighed, "Yuna, look at me. We're Sphere Hunter's, right?"

"Sure, but this could be fun! And besides, we could use the money."

"Exactly!" Brother jumped out from the pilot's seat as he walked towards the crew. "The Gullwings should be notorious around Spira! We'll be making quick cash, as Duel Monsters will be played throughout Spira!"

"Can't this wait until they get back first?" Paine informed them about Tea and Rikku not arriving back with the sphere yet.

"Good point. Tea knows more about this game than any of us!" Yuna reminded.

"Are you just going to stay there and mope, or are you actually going to do something?" Logos asked the fallen Seto Kaiba, still distraught over the loss of his Blue Eyes...

"Poor Seto…" Mokuba said as tears began to pour out from Kaiba's eyes.

"There….are only…four Blue Eyes White Dragons in the world…" He said. "I tore up one of them so it wouldn't have been used against me…" Kaiba teary-eyed emotions soon turned into rage. "Now thanks to you there are only two left!"

"Umm…" Ormi was left speechless as Logo didn't appear to care.

Just then Kaiba instantly made a mad dash towards the Syndicate Members, seeing nothing but red. "HOW DARE YOU DESTROY ONE OF MY CARDS, LET ALONE ONE OF MY BLUE EYES WHITE DRAGONS!?" He then tackled Logos down and began to attack him rapidly like a rabid dog. Ormi went to help, but Kaiba gave him a "one step and you're finished" death glare.

"Go Seto! Pound those creeps!" Mokuba cheered as his big brother continued to beat on Logos like a Government Mule (A/N: Damn you Jim Ross for getting that phrase stuck in my head.). Ormi tried to help, but was then knocked down by Kaiba. After a few more punches to both of them, he got up as he brushed off his trenchcoat. He then walks over to Mokuba.

"Mokuba, it's okay now…" He said as he goes to undo the chains. But suddenly, upon contact with the chains, he then felt an electrical shock.

"Guess again, Kaiba!" Mokuba shouted with an evil grin on his face as Kaiba collapsed.

"But…Mokuba…" He replied, shocked at what his brother was doing…

"Mokuba" laughed as he then transformed. In his place was a man dressed in a green bodysuit. It was like the outfit the Femgoons wore, but it was the male version of the Syndicate Uniform. "You fell for it, Kaiba!" He said as he then slipped out from the chains.

"Ah…you've done well, my new recruit!" Logos complemented. "You'll make a fine addition to the Syndicate!"

"I'll do whatever is asked for the mighty LeBlanc!" He replied.

Ormi walked up to the literally-shocked Kaiba as he then, after kicking him away, took the briefcase… "We'll be taking this! And don't worry about your brother. He's in good hands!" Sounds of a helicopter came from the outside as the three left the warehouse, with Kaiba's briefcase in tow.

Kaiba managed to gather whatever strength he had left to stand up as he quickly made his way outside…

"Wait, that's my helicopter!" Kaiba shouted as he then saw, hanging in chains from the helicopter, was the real Mokuba Kaiba.

"Seto! Help!" He screamed.

'Not again…' He thought, remembering that the Rare Hunters had tried this before his tag team duel with Yugi against Lumis and Umbra, in attempt to get Kaiba's Egyptian God Card Obelisk The Tormentor and Yugi's God Card, Osiris The Sky Dragon (A/N: There, I said Osiris, I didn't say the S-word. Are you happy now?).

"Big Brother… Help!" Mokuba shouted as Logos smirked from the top of the Helicopter.

"Parting is such sweet sorrow…" He said as the chopper began to take off.

As Kaiba watched them leave, a smirk came to his face. 'Fools…they actually think that I would've actually given them the Transphere so easily?' He thought. 'That sphere that was in the briefcase was actually a fail-safe device designed specifically for this occasion. As soon as those Sphere Hunter idiots activate it, any electronic device within a 20-mile radius will be disabled. They'll regret the day they decided to mess with Seto Kaiba.'

Will Kaiba's plan work? Will Mokuba be safe? Will Logos and Ormi ever return home? What was the fight that the Kais were so concerned about? Will Duel Monsters become a hot commodity in Spira? Find out next chapter.
