So I aged up Mokuba, as you can see from the last chapter, so he can be a little more helpful and know how to fight off kidnappers rather than just being kidnapped :P yeah.... Well, enjoy!

As the number of duelists began to decrease, Seto talked to someone over the phone while pacing in his office while Mokuba walked in.
"So, you know nothing?!" Seto growled in frustration and was silent as the person on the other end replied. "Whatever, just find SOMETHING on this! And hurry up!" Seto then hung up the call and then sat down in his seat and melted in the cushion as he let out a frustrated groan.
"Big bro. We couldn't find much either. Other than the stuff already know." Mokuba sighed and gulped while Seto grumbled and sat up then began to type some things in the computer and Mokuba left.
"Who is that girl and what is she?" Seto thought aloud in a low tone as he kept searching.

Soon the day was over and everyone in the group had made it, Joey just barely scraped by. It was now dinner time and everyone ate in silence. Soon Yugi spoke up.
"So, we'll have to fight each other soon, huh?" He sighed and everyone nodded. Kari blinked and smiled.
"I can't think of anyone else to give me a challenge!" She giggled and the whole group chuckled.
"True, I'm actually glad I'm gonna duel you guys!" Joey called and Mai smirked and crossed her arms.
"Oh, and that just about seals it for you. Better pick out a seat in the stands." She taunted and Kari snickered. Joey blushed in anger.
"H-hey! I've gotten a LOT better Mai! I'll show ya!" He called and Mai rolled her eyes. Kari sighed happily and continued to eat. In a flash it was the thirteenth day, the day of the semi finals. Joey and Mai were out and Kari, Yugi and Atem were still in the game. There were a few familiar faces around such as Mako Tsunami, Rex Raptor, Weevil Underwood, Maximilian Pegasus, and sadly Yami Bakura. There were some other people there but not many. They last few people were led outside and to a football sized arena that was walled up and had no roof. It was tall, yet not as tall as the main hall, and was colored silver with bits of steel here and there. The remaining competitors entered the building and were then told the rules by Seto Kaiba, who appeared on a screen in a waiting room type lobby.
"So, you made it this far. Whatever, so each of you will be pared to duel on each levels of the floor. When each duel is done the remaining will take the elevator up to the next floor while the losers use the stairs down. You are being filmed and shown to the others in the main hall. When there are only three left the semi finals TRUELY begin. Now good luck... And, BEGIN!" Kaiba seemed in a hurry as the TV turned off. The two guards then drew cards to figure out who was against who. It was Kari verses Mako, Rex verses Yugi, Weevil verses Atem and Yami Bakura verses Maximillion as well as two other matches going on. Soon it was just Kari, Atem, Yugi and Yami Bakura and two others. Kari glanced at Yami Bakura as he was leaning on the elevator wall with his eyes closed and his arms crossed. She shivered and gulped then the elevator stopped and she stepped out. It was Kari verses Yugi, Atem verses some random person, and Yami Bakura verses some random person. Kari frowned but then nodded her head with a confident smirk.
"Good luck Yugi." Kari giggled and Yugi smiled with a huff.
"You too, Kari. DRAW!" He called. Eventually Kari had won and Yugi had to climb the stairs down and sit with the group. Kari gave him a high five before he left and then entered the elevator to the next floor. Atem smiled at her and comforted her since he knew she felt bad about doing that to Yugi.
