My Darling My Love My Life

Noah's Exit Strategy🚪🚶🏼‍♂️

A few minutes later Atem, Isra, Seto and Qetesh walk behind the rest of the gang as they follow Noah's lead to the "other exit" "it's not too far from here"  Noah tells them "you don't believe him do you!?!"  Atem asks Isra shakes her head and replies "he is but a child.... one who has never been disciplined by anyone until now!"  she looks at both Seto and Atem then continues "he's been lonely for so long and now he has "real people" following him like puppies on a leash waiting to be lead.... even if it is in circles.... besides don't you remember he said!? "stop US from escaping" meaning him too!.... let's just say I'm taking his words with a grain of salt.... in other words.... no!.... I don't!.... Joey's gullible but doesn't trust him any further than he can throw him.... which isn't very far but still....!"  Atem smiles as she continues "Mokuba's the type who tries to see the good in everyone and be their friend and he gets lead astray too easily.... sorry Seto!"  she looks at her friend apologetically Seto lets out a short chuckle and a half smile as they leave the cave and enter the desert "what's that saying people use nowadays "keep your friends close and your enemies closer".... though I don't think he's a "true" enemy he's just.... lost!.... six years alone with an emotionally abusive father will do that to you!"  Qetesh says with a soft sadness in her tone "uh oh.... story time with Yugi!"  Isra teases as she takes Atem's hand in hers Atem smiles as she feels them switch places Yugi squeezes her hand gently as though letting her know that he didn't want her to let go "hi Yu"  Isra says with a smile "hi"  Yugi replies with a smile of his own Seto looks at them oddly but says nothing as he rolls his eyes at the two of them Qetesh chuckles at him making him smile.... "alright where is this exit already?"  Joey asks "there"  Noah replies as the gang stops in front of a stone wall with a castle like gate/doorway in the center of it "your freedom lies beyond this door once you walk through you'll wake up in the real world"  Noah continues "I don't know about this guy's"  Téa says "the real world is just beyond these doors"  Noah assures as the doors open to reveal a blinding light....

Isra and Qetesh wake up to find themselves lying side by side in Seto's bed at first they were confused then they smiled at one another and as Yugi/Atem, Seto and the rest of the gang.... minus Noah.... relive bits and pieces of their memories.... Seto, Yugi/Atem's memories were seen without Isra/Qetesh in them which was their first clue that they weren't where Noah said they'd be.... they (Isra and Qetesh) went to visit Odion and told his still unconscious body all about their adventures in the virtual world "hello Shadi"  they chorus when they feel the familiar presence of an old friend as they both turn in their chair to face him "my queens!"  Shadi replies with surprised tone the girls chuckle "I'm sure you heard all that.... we can't interfere Shadi!.... I fear that if we try we will lose not only Seto, Atem and Yugi but the rest of them too and you know that they all have a very important part to play in all this!"  Isra says softly Shadi nods then says "I understand I just thought you'd like to know that one of them is awake though he seems.... different"  the two girls look at one another then chorus "Noah!"  they both look at Shadi "thank you Shadi"  Qetesh replies Shadi bows and starts to leave "the names Qetesh by the way"  she tells him a small smile slides up the corner of Shadi's lips as he mutters "of course it is!"  then he disappears and the girls burst out laughing.... as Seto dueled his stepfather he could feel but not see Qetesh at his side "you can do this Seto!.... never give up!.... never give in!.... I believe in you my beloved.... I just.... I can't be there.... not with him!.... to have him stare at me like any other man that isn't you who thought they were "brave" enough to do so it.... sickens me!"  he hears Qetesh say with a soft sad tone as he felt the knuckles of her fingers slide down his cheek softly "I understand"  he whispers to her in his heart her words angered him he knew what she meant visions of his employees and other guys they met just walking down the street, in stores and other places how they stared at her, how they DARED to try and TOUCH her, how they DROOLED over her and chuckled at the sick sexual thoughts that he knew flew through their minds and imagining his father think the same thoughts sickened him he used the rage he felt over those words and those thoughts as added fuel for the rage and hatred for the man who stood across from him that he was dueling right now in a way he didn't want her there and yet he didn't want her to leave either "never!"  he hears her whisper softly then feels her kiss his lips gently and he smiles.... once Noah saw the error of his ways Isra showed up where Yugi and his friends were as they ran towards the Domino Arcade but she wasn't alone she had Dark Magician, Dark Magician Girl and Blue Eyes White Dragon at her side and they helped Joey and Yugi fight off the monsters Gozaburo sent after them..... once Téa, Serenity, Tristen, Joey and Duke were safe Isra gently grips Yugi's arm and whispers softly "Seto!.... he and Mokuba are still in here.... we must help them!"  Yugi looks at her "Seto's dueling Goza.... and you know that he won't leave until he either wins or is defeated.... if he loses Goza will try to enter him!.... our abilities may be able to stop him but if Seto gets trapped here.... my sister who is with him in spirit will not leave his side!.... I'm sure Noah can figure out a way to help Mokuba but we only have four minutes.... I can't lose them Yu.... I can't!"  she whispers with a soft sad tone Yugi nods Noah creates a door for Yugi and Isra to walk through Isra takes Yugi's hand and they walk through it together DM, DMG and BEWD follow them once they walk through they find themselves in front of Kaiba Corp and rush inside Isra leads them to the arena area where the duel was still happening "who knew sharing memories with your sister would come in handy!"  Isra teases as they walk into the arena Yugi chuckles "only you and Seto can see us Yu so it's up to you now"  she informs him Yugi nods "she can see us though!"  she teases pointing to her sister who waves her fingers at them Yugi chuckles....

Yugi and Isra make it just in time to see Gozaburo lose then change into a magenta colored smoke demon form and try to attack Seto but Seto notices Qetesh wave at someone and turns his head to see Yugi standing below him with Isra at his side "jump Kaiba!"  Yugi shouts and for the first time possibly ever Seto does as Yugi suggests and jumps down and lands beside them "don't say it!"  he growls lowly at Qetesh who shows up beside him with an amused smirk on her face "say what!?!"  she teases playfully he smiles as he takes her hand and the four of them run towards the elevators as Gozaburo attacks.... once they reached outside they continue to run and once again Dark Magician, Dark Magician Girl and Blue Eyes White Dragon appear behind them ready to defend and protect them Qetesh and Isra stop running and help them not realizing that the girls were no longer with them both Seto and Yugi run through the portal Noah opened for them and soon wake up in their own bodies.... for the first time ever Isra and Qetesh duel to save the love of their lives from being trapped within the virtual world forever but they didn't have to duel for long for Noah appears and stops his father from succeeding in his plan.... before they leave the virtual world Isra and Qetesh place Noah within the millennium key tattoo so that his mind, heart and soul could be saved they planned on seeing if Shadi could find a way to give Noah a second chance at a better life.... "Shadi.... I'd like you to meet Noah"  Isra introduces Shadi to Noah within Shadi's heart "my queen!?!"  Shadi says with a surprised tone as he turns to see Isra with an unfamiliar looking little boy at her side "I need you to do me a favor Shadi"  she tells him softly "anything my queen!"  Shadi replies with a bow she smiles at him "I need you to preform a miracle!.... pick a family.... from any timeframe and watch over them then chose them to be his new family.... you know what his life was like before for I have shown you by giving you his memories.... it is your job to protect this little boy and give him a better life with a LOVING family.... even ours.... if you so chose!"  she orders kindly with a small smirk "yes my queen!"  Shadi replies as he bows once more Noah walks over to Shadi and Isra disappears
