Narrowing his eyes, Miles watched the four run down the hallways of his building. The screens that captured the image of the four dimly lit the area.

"So the little brat did find those three fools." He grumbled to himself lowly, referring to Mokuba. "It can't be helped then." He stood up from his chair and moved to a control panel next to the glass capsule where Kay lay unconscious, still. He began typing a code into the key pad.

One of his employees looked shocked at his boss's action.

"S-Sir! You're starting already? I thought-"

"I thought so too. But there's no doubt that the Kaiba brat opened his mouth and told the others about our plans. There's no use waiting anymore. Hmph. There was hardly any use waiting in the first place." Some buttons lit up and a head piece moved onto Kay's head. "I suppose I wanted to taunt them and surprise them with my plans. But it doesn't matter."

"I see sir..."

Miles turned to face his employee. "You. I want you to send Endoh after them. The less there are, the better."

The man nodded his head. "Yes sir."

"I think we're getting closer." Mokuba said as they started to climb another set of stairs.

"Are you sure?" Cat asked. Mokuba nodded.

"Pretty sure."

Atem looked thoughtful. "I have to say...I never thought I would be fighting more madmen after that final battle with Bakura."

"None of us even expected that you were coming back." Cat pointed out.

"True...but even after I came back."

Cat nodded.

Mokuba looked up at his older brother. "Seto? You've been pretty quiet."

"He's always been quiet Mokuba."

"Shut up. I've just been thinking." Kaiba growled.

"You're mad..." Mokuba said. "But I understand."

"We all understand." Atem said.

"Don't start." Kaiba glared at them.

They reached the top of the stairs and walked into another room. Atem frowned at Kaiba and was about to speak; until he was cut off.

"About time."

Everyone turned to look at the unfamiliar voice. A tall, strong man with blond hair stood before them. He wore sunglasses and a suit like the others. Except he didn't wear a jacket or tie over his white shirt. He looked rather intimidating and his intentions were obvious with the duel disk on his arm.

He smirked. "No one can pass unless they defeat me. Of course you fools don't have the skill to do that."

"Tch. Another punk? Is Miles so much of a coward that he won't come down and face us himself?" Kaiba sneered.

"I'm afraid Mr. Miles is busy at the moment. Brainwashing your dear friend."

The four gasped as their eyes widened in complete horror.

"K-Kay...no!" Cat's voice sounded a little broken as she tried to hold back a cry of horror.

"KAY!" Mokuba cried, horrified as the others.

"No...we're too late?" Atem then glared maliciously at the smirking man.

Kaiba's glare looked more vicious than Atem's. "You...You worm! You piece of sh-!"

"I'm sure you're dying to know. My name is Endoh." The man cut Kaiba off. "My time is more precious than yours. So tell me. Who is going to today's victim?"

Atem opened his mouth to accept the man's challenge; but someone else beat him to the punch.

"I will."

Mokuba and Atem looked shocked to find Cat glaring at the man with anger and determination. She activated her duel disk and inserted her deck.

Endoh smirked.

"Well, well. This little kitten is bearing her claws. How cute. Fine then." He activated his duel disk. "I'll be the wolf that hunts and takes you down! I'm sure Mr. Miles could always use more experiments."

"Cat...no! You can't duel him!" Mokuba cried.

"Go on ahead guys!" Cat said, her eyes focused on the enemy. "You have to save Kay no matter what! She's an important person to all of us. I would never forgive myself if something happened to her. Besides..." She frowned determinedly at the enemy, smiling. "This is my chance to prove that I'm no pushover!"

"No. No, Cat. I'm not leaving you with this man!" Atem suddenly growled firmly. "I'll duel him!"

"Atem...please. Trust me. Kaiba and Mokuba will need your strength to help save Kay." Cat said softly. "You've taught me duel monsters well. I'm no champion but...I'm strong enough to where I don't need anyone saving me all the time. I refuse to be a burden anymore."

Atem looked at a loss for words for a moment. He opened his mouth to protest until Mokuba touched his arm. "She's right Pharaoh." He said. "Seto would never admit it, but we're going to need your help too." Atem still looked hesitant.

"Enough of this trivial babble! Let's get moving!" Kaiba snapped.

Endoh laughed. "It'll be too late by the time you get there! After I'm done here, you three will be next!"

"Atem go!" Cat insisted.

Gritting his teeth, Atem nodded stiffly. "We'll be waiting for you, Cat!"

"Let's go already!"
The three turned and ran out of the room. Cat smiled softly at their retreating forms before glaring back at Endoh.

"So then...shall we?" Endoh smirked.

Cat nodded.

"DUEL!"

Their lifepoints went up to 4000 and the two drew five cards.

"Ladies first." Endoh smirked. "Although it won't save you..."

"You'll regret it. Draw!" Cat drew a card, looking at it. "I'll play one monster in face down defense mode and one card face down. I end my turn!" After she placed the cards on her disk, the two face down cards appeared on the field before them.

"Hmph. Weak. My move. Draw!" Endoh drew a card and smirked, looking at it. "I'll place one card face down and then summon my Regenerating Mummy!" Placing his cards on the duel disk, the face down card appeared before him, before a monster appeared. It was a torn up mummy with one eye and rotten flesh, his bandages torn and falling off. It growled; having 1800 ATK points and 1500 DEF points.

Cat made a slight face at the disgusting creature.

"Now then. Regenerating Mummy! Attack her face down monster!"

The mummy lunged at her face down monster card and slashed it, causing the monster to reveal itself. A bright light shot out, sending the mummy flying backwards to it's spot. Endoh lost 200 lifepoints.

"Wha?"

Cat smirked as Mystical Elf stood on her field in defense mode. "Nice try." She said.

Frowning, Endoh straightened his posture. "I end my turn."

"My move then. Draw!" Cat drew a card and looked at her hand, frowning a little. "I end my turn."

"That's all? Pity." Endoh taunted as he drew a card. Smirking, he summoned a monster. "I summon Tribe-Infecting Virus!" A strange orange and black, flame like swirl appeared on the field with 1600 ATK points and 1000 DEF points.
Cat blinked once.

"Before you say anything, dear, summoning Tribe-Infecting Virus allows me to activate it's effect. By discarding one card," He discarded a card from his hand. "I can choose any type of monster I want...and destroy it! And I choose Spellcaster!"

Cat gasped as her Mystical Elf was suddenly destroyed.

"That leaves you wide open for attack." Endoh smirked. "Go my monsters! Attack her directly!"

Both the Tribe-Infecting Virus and Regenerating Mummy jumped at Cat, attacking her full on. Cat shielded herself from the attacks, crying out as her life points fell to 600.

Endoh laughed. "This is too easy! You're going to fall before me and let your friends down...even after that cute little inspirational speech of yours."

Cat growled a little. "It's not over yet! My move!" She drew a card. "I'll place one card face down and play Swords of Revealing Light!" Giant swords of light appeared and fell around Endoh's monsters, trapping them. "I'm safe for three turns."

"You're only prolonging your inevitable defeat." Endoh chuckled darkly.

Frowning, Cat played another card. "I'll summon Sacred Crane in attack mode!" A beautiful white crane with a black head and neck with red feathers coming from it's head and tail appeared and crowed. It had 1600 ATK points and 400 DEF points.

"I don't usually like to do this...but I'll lose if I don't. Sacred Crane! Attack his Tribe-Infecting Virus!"

Sacred Crane obeyed, soaring towards the Tribe-Infecting Virus. The two monsters collided and destroyed each other.
"I end my turn."

"Hmph. Desperate move." Endoh commented. "Draw!" He drew a card, looking at it. "I'll place one card face down, and since I can't attack I'll end my turn."

Two turns were left for Swords of Revealing Light.

"Fine. Draw!" Cat drew a card. "I'll summon Blast Magician in attack mode!"
A magician dressed similarly to the dark magician appeared on the field. It's outfit was purple, black, gold and red. It smirked, holding a staff with a large scythe like blade at the end. It had 1400 ATK points and 1700 DEF points.

"I end my turn."

"Alright. Draw!" Endoh drew a card. "Now then. I will sacrifice my Regenerating Mummy to summon, Vampire Lord!"

Regenerating Mummy disappeared and was replaced with Vampire Lord. The monster was dressed in dark clothes with spikes and a cloak. It's skin was purple and hair was teal. It smirked at Cat, showing it's fangs. It had 2000 ATK points and 1500 DEF points.

"In just a couple more turns, you're done for! Unless...you can find a way to save yourself." Endoh taunted.

"Ugh..." She drew a card. "I'll place this card facedown and end my turn." She placed a card on her duel disk.

Endoh continued to smirk as he drew a card.

"I play Mystical Space Typhoon and destory your middle card!" He pointed to the facedown card in the middle. It was suddenly destroyed and Cat frowned, discarding the destroyed card, Magic Jammer. "Your move."

One turn was left for Swords of Revealing Light.

Cat drew a card and frowned in determination. "I summon Breaker the Magicial Warrior in attack mode!"
After she set the card down, a monster dressed in clothes also similar to the dark magician appeared. It's clothes were dark red and gold and the monster carried a large shield and sword that matched his outfit. A black and red cape, with a golden design on the back, flowed behind him.

He had 1600 ATK points and 1000 DEF points.

"Hah! Is that the best you could do? You really are hopeless!" Endoh laughed.

"Save your jokes for another time. I activate Breaker's effect! When he is normal summoned, he receives one spell counter, raising his attack to 1900!" Cat announced as Breaker's attack points raised to 1900.

"Hmph. Still not enough to destroy my vampire."

"We'll see. Your move."

Endoh drew a card and was silent.
"I end my turn." He said simply before smirking. "And your Swords of Revealing Light have expired."

Just as he said, the Swords around his monster disappeared.

Refusing to show him even a little but of fear, Cat drew a card and inhaled slowly. "I summon Gemini Elf in attack mode."

Two women, one with brown hair and the other blond, appeared on the field with 1900 ATK points. The blond wore a skimpy white and light blue dress with matching boots and the brunette wore a skimpy purple dress with matching boots. Both beautiful.

"I also place one card face down and end my turn."

Endoh chuckled. "And you've left yourself wide open." He said and drew a card. "Now then...Vampire Lord, attack her Blast Magician!"

The teal haired monster smirked before lunging at Cat's Blast Magician, fangs bared.

"Got ya!"

"What?"

"Reveal face down trap card! Sakuretsu Armor!" Cat flipped the card, revealing it. "If you declare an attack on one of my monsters, I can activate this card and destroy the attacking monster!"

Vampire Lord was inches away from hitting Blast Magician before it shattered into many pieces, destroyed.

"Tch. Nice one. But I'm afraid it won't save you." Endoh sneered. "I'll place one monster in facedown defense position and end my turn!"

Cat nodded and drew a card. "Okay...I sacrifice my Gemini Elf and Blast Magician to summon..." Gemini Elf and Blast Magician shattered, disappearing as a new light took over their spot. "Dark Magician!"

The Dark Magician appeared on the field in front of her, looking different compared to the usual Dark Magician. This one had pale green skin, blond hair and dark purple-blue and red robes.

2500 ATK points and 2100 DEF points.

"Hmph. Interesting. What do you plan on doing with that?"

"I end my turn." Cat replied simply, stunning the man for a second.

"F-Fine then." Endoh frowned and drew a card. He frowned at the card he drew. "I place down face down monster and end my turn."

"Fine." Cat drew a card. "I activate Breaker's second effect. By taking away the one spell counter on him, I can destroy one spell or trap card on the field." She pointed at one of his facedown cards. "I choose that one."

Endoh frowned slightly as he discarded the destroyed card.

"Without any spell counters, Breaker's attack drops back to 1600. But that's not all! I sacrifice Breaker the Magicial Warrior in order to summon..." Breaker shattered as a new monster took it's place. "Chaos Command Magician!"

A spellcaster that looked similar to the Dark Magician appeared on the field. His clothes were black, red and yellow and he had a long flowing cape.

2400 ATK points and 1900 ATK points.

"Hmph. So what are you gonna do? Attack me?" He smirked. "Go ahead!"

Cat shook her head. "I end my turn."

"What? Tch, in that case, you've lost your chance to win!" Endoh said drawing a card. "I place one card facedown and end my turn!"

Drawing again, Cat swallowed slightly. "If I do this right, I can end this duel on this turn..." She thought to herself before looking back at Endoh. "I place one card facedown on the field. And I summon a monster!" She placed a card on her duel disk. "Magician's Valkyria!"

A beautiful magician appeared on the field. She looked similar to the Dark Magician. She had bronze hair and a different outfit. Her outfit was pink, yellow, teal and purple.

1600 ATK points and 1800 DEF points.

"Now then...I attack! Dark Magician, go!" She pointed at one of his facedown monster cards.

Just then, Endoh started laughing.

"You fool! By skipping your battle phases, you gave me plenty of time to set this lovely trap!" He flipped a trap card. "Mirror Force! All your monsters are destroyed!"

"Not quite."

"What?"

"Activate counter trap card, Trap Jammer!" Cat revealed her trap card. "I can only activate this card if you activate a trap during the battle phase! This card allows me to negate the effect of your trap card and destroy it!"

"What? No!" Endoh cried as Mirror Force card hologram started to crackle with electricity before shattering.

"My monsters are safe. And I can continue my attack! Finish what we started, Dark Magician!"
The Dark Magician twirled his staff before shooting a dark energy ball at Endoh's face down monster. The monster was revealed to be Giant Solder of Stone in defense mode. It's DEF points being too weak, it shattered and was destroyed.

"Magician's Valkyria! It's your turn!"

Obeying, Magician's Valkyria shot a green energy ball at the facedown monster. Hitting the card, it was revealed to be Magical Scientist, which was destroyed immediately.

"Now then...Chaos Command Magician! Attack him directly!"

Expressionless and unable to see it's eyes, Chaos Command Magician simply pointed his staff at Endoh, shooting a red energy ball at him.

Endoh cried out as his lifepoints fell to 1400.

"You little...MY TUR-"

"Hold it! I never said my turn was over. I activate my trap card, Magician's Circle!" Cat said, revealing her facedown trap. "Since my Chaos Command Magician declared an attack, I can play this card. Each of us needs to choose one spellcaster type monster from our decks and special summon it! It has to have 2000 ATK points or less."

Endoh growled, his only spellcaster currently in the graveyard.

"And I choose, Dark Magician Girl!" Cat placed a card on her Duel Disk.

A cute blond monster, dressed in similar clothes as the dark magician, only more skimpy and girly, appeared on the field, winking at Endoh. Her outfit was light blue and pink and she held a wand that was light blue, pink and yellow.

2000 ATK points and 1700 DEF points.

"N-No..."

"I'm also allowed to attack after I've summoned her."

"N-NO!"

"Dark Magician Girl! Attack Endoh directly and wipe out the remainder of his lifepoints!" Cat commanded.

The Dark Magician Girl smiled determinedly as she twirled her staff and shot a pink energy ball at Endoh, hitting him.

Endoh screamed in defeat as his lifepoints hit zero and cards scattered everywhere.

The duel was over.

Falling to his knees, Endoh then collapsed on the floor. "I...I'm sorry Mr...Miles..." He whispered before passing out.

The holograms disappeared and Cat placed a hand on her chest, inhaling deeply and exhaling in relief. "I...I did it..." She said to herself, trying to slow her pounding heart.

Shaking her head, she turned and ran from the room.
"I don't have time to sit here dazed! I've got to find the others and help them save Kay!"

The three males had ran up a few staircases before reaching a giant metallic door, a large keypad next to it.

"Who wants a bet that this is it?" Kaiba mummered sarcastically before walking to the keypad.

"Are you sure?" Atem asked.

"Yeah. I agree with Seto. I'm sure this is the place." Mokuba added in. Atem nodded.

After a few moments of typing on the keypad, the door opened. Kaiba smirked. "I'm good."

The three walked in to find a very large room with no windows except for a large window on the ceiling, letting sunlight filter in. There were large computers and computer screens everywhere, followed by other large machines and wires. There were a couple of messy desks, covered in paper.
Except for the sunlight and computer screen lights, the room was dark.

The three walked in, looking around cautiously. Mokuba stayed behind his big brother, looking around nervously.

"Welcome."
The three stopped under the ceiling window, spotlighted by the sunlight. A dark figure loomed in the shadows in front of them. Kaiba growled.
"Show yourself coward!"

Miles stepped forward, smirking. After he had revealed himself, a few lights in the room turned on, lighting up more of the area.

"I didn't think you would actually make it. You're one person short, but still. Impressive that anyone made it at all!" He said darkly.

Mokuba frowned and stepped forward bravely. "Where's Kay?" He demanded.

"Patience, patience my young friend..." Miles said cooly.

"We hardly have any patience right now." Kaiba growled.

"Spit it out! What have you done with Kay?" Atem glared at the leering man.

Miles shook his head, almost in a disappointed manner.

"You kids are so uptight. We should be having fun with this. After all...Kay has become a brand new person and wishes to play with you." He chuckled darkly, snapping his fingers.

Stepping from behind a large machine was Kay. She looked the same, except for a blank expression; her eyes having lost their shine and looked glazed over.

Mokuba gasped.

"N-NO! Kay! W...We're too late?"

The other two looked shocked and horrified as Miles laughed loudly.

"No need to look so glum. I think you'll like the new Kay." He smirked.

Kay walked up to them, smirking evilly.

"Kay...snap out of it!" Atem said.

Kaiba stared at Kay in disbelief. "Kay..." Outside of the shock of her being brainwashed, was the almost sad feeling of Kay having lost her shine. A twisted expression was on her face, which replaced her beautiful smile that he had grown so accustomed to. Her eyes lost their shine and spark that held so much spirit and life. It was almost as if she lost her color as well!

Kaiba felt like a lifeless, soulless android that replaced Kay, was standing before him. And he hated it. More than anything at that moment. It made him angry, hurt, sad and almost confused. He grabbed her shoulders, leaning down to her level.

"Kay! Wake up!" He snapped. "Are you going to let this man take over you? You're going to let him win?"

"Hmph. Don't be so naive Seto Kaiba." Kay replied in an odd voice. Almost as if a female android's voice came out the same time as her normal voice. Two voices at once. And one of them didn't belong.

Kaiba growled.

"How about this? Maybe you'll feel better if we duel."

"Duel?" He asked, still upset.

"Of course. If you win...maybe...just maybe...I'll let you see Kay again." Kay said, smirking.

"Seto..." Mokuba said sadly, his eyes having teared up at the fact that Kay was gone.

Atem stepped up from behind Kaiba.

"Duel her." He said. "Only you can reach her at this point. You might be able to bring out something stronger than the braincontrolling chip."

Kaiba didn't look at him. He only continued to stare at Kay, lost in thought. After a moment or two, Kaiba released Kay and stood straight again.

"Fine."
He activated his duel disk. "So be it!"

Kay smirked.

"That's more like it." She said, activating her duel disk.

Miles laughed. "This will be quite entertaining!"

"Not so fast!" Atem growled and stepped up, activating his duel disk. "Your opponent will be me."

Miles smirked.

"Fine. If you lose...you'll be joining Kay and soon to be, Kaiba, as my slaves." He said.

"And if I win, you'll free Kay!"

"We'll see."

Mokuba stood at the sidelines, wiping his eyes as he fearfully watched the four.

"DUEL!"

OMGWTFCLIFFHANGER!

Wow...it's been what...over a YEAR since I last updated? Lol Sorry about that guys. Lot's of things going on. But here we are! The duel I promised everyone. It sucks. I know. No need to point it out. Writing that unoriginal and uncreative duel took waaayyy longer than I had hoped. I dunno how Kay (NintendoQueen) does it!

Anyways, as you can already tell, Cat has a spellcaster deck, blah blah, unoriginal, blah blah, don't care I like it.

Regardless of the crappy duel, I hope you enjoyed it! See you next chappie!
