This is a GX fanfic! Okay if you've got any chance of understanding any of this you'll probably want to read this. First, Jaden Yuki is a girl. She didn't just randomly have a gender bending she has and always will be a girl in this story. Second, not everyone but some people also have been the other gender; I'm going to tell you those people along the way. Third, I'm starting at episode 106 the beginning of the third season. Everything has been exactly the same up to this point so if you watched the anime you'll be fine.

*****Jaden's POV*****

"Jaden, why won't you play with me?" Dark mist surrounded me. All I could see was a fog of darkness, until reddy purple veins opened in the center almost coming from nowhere at all an eye looked at me intently. The iris was red like a tainted rose. It chilled me to my core.

I closed my eyes hoping for something anything to block its gaze. I heard a sadistic laugh, it seemed to echo in my head and pass by my ears. I tried to open my eyes but they were resistant. When they had finally opened I was sprawled on my stomach in a desert. I asked hoping for a familiar to answer, "Who's there?"

As I looked on I could see Duel Academy but it was surrounded by sand not ocean. The voice spoke again, almost taunting, "Don't you remember me? Why won't you come and play Jaden?"

I pushed myself to my feet, "Who are you? And where are you?" I couldn't recognize the voice at all but an instinct told me it wasn't a friend. The thought struck me, "And where am I?"

As if on cue with my questions I saw my friends down the sand hill. Syrus, Chad, Hassel-Berry, Crowler and Alex weren't moving. (Yes, I changed Alexis to Alex! She I mean he's a man now! And Hassel-Berry has the same name but now is a girl!) I yelled to them, "Are you guys alright?" I took a few steps to the slop of the sand and slide with great balance the rest of the way down.

When I was on flatter ground the voice told me, "I already played with your friends but they weren't much fun."

They all stayed perfectly still as I stood in front of them, "Alex, Syrus, Hello! Say something!"

I went to touch Chazz's shoulder but instantly pulled back. He started to disappear with the wind and sand. They all did. I gasped. I was all alone in this desert with a mystery voice inside my head and my friends . . . . I screamed out, "No!"

****Jesse's POV*****

Ruby ran off as I was just coming to terms with being lost. Knowing she might also get lost I followed her at an easy walk. When I had reached the top of the stairs she had run up I saw her with a brown winged fluff ball. They were checking each other out beside a girl.

She had Chocolate brown eyes. Her hair came down a little past her shoulders. The color matched her eyes except for the top with was a caramel color.

She was a red Slifer. Her uniform was a little unique though. A boy's jacket with the sleeves pushed up to the elbows, black gloves that exposed her fingers, a black plain t-shirt under the open jacket, a black belt with a deck holder attached, a red short skirt that ended mid thigh and was creased like a cheerleaders would be, Slifer standard boy runners with knee high black socks underneath.

She looked at me surprised. Her face was beautiful. It was still very young looking like she hadn't full grown into her own shoes. Her eyes were my favorite part of her face though. They took you in and warmed you it felt nice. Ruby ran to me and up my leg and to my shoulder. The fluff which now reminded me of a winged Kuriboh stayed beside her floating.

I looked at my treasured gem beast, "I told you to stay put." I smiled at Ruby and she smiled back.

"Dude, is that a monster spirit or am I still dreaming?" I walked over to her as she stood up from the ground.

"This here's my pal, Ruby Carbunckle." We stood face to face. She was much shorter than me. The top of her head came to my nose. Even though we weren't the same height she kept her head high to keep eye contact.

"Ruby who?" Her head tilted.

I laughed and answered, "Ruby Carbunckle."

Her head tilted again to the other direction, "Wait this means you can-"

"Yep! I assume you can too." A smile struck my face as I started to piece together who this might be. Kuriboh nodded and made a 'kuri' noise. "That must make you the infamous Jaden Yuki!"

"In the flesh!" She grinned. "So how long have you been able to see spirits?"

"'Since I was born I think. And from what I hear it's the same thing with you! Comes in handy doesn't it?"

She nodded, "Talking to monsters is so rad, usually." Her face wavered. I guessed she was talking about one of her adventures she'd had. I had heard all about her at North academy. She was famous and probably didn't even know it "Anyway," snapping out of her flash back, "I've never seen you around here. Are you a freshmen?"

I trout mouthed for a moment and then answered, "Not exactly. I transferred here."

"Awesome! Well, let me be the first to say welcome." She put out her hand for me to shake.

I took it, "That's mighty kind of you."

As we made eye contact she commented, "That's strange, have we met before?"

I returned the feeling, "I don't know but sure feels like it."

Kuriboh and Ruby started to fight and floated to the ground. We both looked at them shocked.

"AHAH!" There you are!" A strong voice said from behind me.

A squeaky voice continued, "The rally is starting!" The duel monsters stop fighting.

Jaden looked happy to hear the voices, she turned and said, "Hey wait that's today?"

I turned to see a really big muscle girl and a small blue haired one. The blue haired one yelled, "It's now!"

"So forward, forward, forward march!" They both ran down the stairs.

She looked back to me, "'Guess I got to jet, see you around!" She bolted for the stairs. "Come on Kuriboh!" The fluff followed. I stood there with Ruby knowing somehow that the girl I had just met was quite a character.

***Jaden's POV****

The principle was talking about it being a new year and I started to zone out until Blair started to walk across to recite the academy pledge. He was wearing a Slifer vest over a yellow shirt. It surprised me because hadn't she got second in the tournament. I guess you relly had to impress to be blue, look at me I beat a teacher and I got put into red. I liked it though nothing was expected of you so really anything was an improvement.

He started to speak. When he was done he walked back to where he had come from. On his way back he winked at me. He was like three years younger. I am not a cougar! I stiffened. Hassel-Berry laughed, "Looks like you've got a fanboy!" I nodded and gulped.

Principle, spoke and perfection and improvement and then said, "We've invited transfer students to come from our world wide branches!"

"This is so cool I've got to get my game on!"

"From the East academy, Adrian Keco! From West academy, Axel Brodie! From South academy, Jim Crocodile Cook!" Three boys were on the stage all completely different. And the last boy had a Crocodile. I blinked to make sure I wasn't seeing things wrong. "And lastly, leading the pack at North academy Jesse Anderson!" The crowd uproared. Apparently this guy was famous.

No one walked on stage though. The clapping stopped and everyone looked confused. From behind me I heard Chazz talking about this guy and how he had crystal beast cards. At first I thought he had put like decorations on his card but soon I learned from Hassel-Berry and his talk that they were special rare cards.

"So that means this guy was the winner of that tournament. How sweet! I gotta' duel this guy!" I was excited there was only a couple things better then dueling and it was dueling a champion.

The door from behind our seats opened and an out of breath figure stepped into the light. "Sorry Folks!" It was the same boy I had met earlier. "Guess I got lost. This schools a lot bigger than the one we got up north!"

"Hold on I recognize that voice!" I stood up and waved to the blue haired boy. He stopped on the stairs to my left.

"Hey Jaden! This is that pep rally thing!"

"Yep, By the way just wondering have you seen a guy named, Jesse?"

He smiled, "Yeah, sure did.'

The principle cut in, "What you've seen him? Where is he?'

"Y'all are looking at him! I Jesse!" He scratched the back of his head. "Sorry, I guess I never properly introduced myself. I was so excited to meet you I guess I forgot."

"I get that a lot!" I grinned knowing the statement was true.

The principle introduced him and Jesse ran up and jumped on stage. Waving his arms to the crowd. The guys on stage were talking but I couldn't hear them.

A man bigger than a bear walked on stage, The principle introduced him as Professor Viper. He gave me the creeps.

"For those of you that have heard my methods are strict, you are right however with that being said I've always felt there's a method to my madness. You see I believe actions speak louder than words. So why don't why skip right over the pleasentries and get down to business."

"Gee, he seems like a barrel of laughs." I muttered.

"Now then, why don't we kick off the year by holding an expedition match right now!" The people in the room had mixed emotions to say the least, "Simmer down so I can pick the participants. Jesse Anderson and his opponent will be . . . . " He paused. "Duel academy's top student."

Chazz stood up and said, "I accept."

"Jaden Yuki!"

I jumped up, "Sweetness! The first day of the year and I duel a dude with a legendary deck! This rocks!"

Chazz sounded angry form behind me, "Hey! I'm the best! Not her!" His monster spirit complemented him on always being number one to him and Chazz yelled, "And you'll always be number two to me! If you know what I mean!" The whole school starred.

Jesse yelled from the stage, "This duels going to be a regular hoot!" I was confused if that meant good or bad but I smiled either way.

We both stood in front of Viper, "Alright you two, hold out your arms." We did as he said. He put weird looking bracelets on us.

"What are these?" I asked.

"Why don't we just say, they're a little welcome gift. Students the expedition duel will begin in one hour! And not a minute later!"

****Jesse's POV*****

Jaden looked at me intently, "Jesse you're a nice guy but I'm not going to go easy on ya! That's not how I roll!" She looked confident.

"Of course! I wouldn't expect anything less from Jaden Yuki! So as they say let the best duelist win!"

She smiled ear to ear, "Don't worry I will!"

"Game on!" We both shouted!

The duel goes on like in the show. No different,

*****Jaden's POV******

I was so confused when Jesse sat up and said, "Nice duel!" Where was this dragon? Why was he so happy?

"Where's the dragon?"

"Well that's the funny thing." Jesse stood up from the ground. "I haven't got that card in my deck yet, Jay!" He laughed but I just gawked at him.

"Uh, come again?" The whole crowd started to yell and boo! And I felt bad for this guy but I had to say he was an awesome duelist!

He yelled to them, "Sorry everyone! But I know it's out there somewhere!"

"What do you mean?"

"Well according to the legend the soul of the dragon lives in this tablet but no one knows where it is. But when it is found according to Pegusass its going to be made into a card." He turned from me to the crowd, "Hey folks if any of you sees a tablet let me know okay?"

I was so disappointed I really wanted to see the dragon. It didn't feel right to beat a duelist when they weren't at their best.

Viper walked on stage clapping, "Excellent! A fitting start to our new year! Now join me won't you?" He ushered for Jesse and I to come to him. I walked over as did Jesse. I shook his hand he was one great duelist! When he finally did get Rainbow dragon I'd duel him again.

"Your first lesson is complete."I looked up to the man. "As I explained to you before I fancy myself a man of action. You learn by practicing. So there will be mandatory duels every day! I suggest you comply because I'll be monitoring you all."

Viper laughed and it all felt so wrong to me. I had a slight feeling I had just met my next big problem at this academy.

****Jesse's POV****

Jaden and I were chilling where I'd met her. We were talking about each other's decks. She had shown me now three ways I could have beat her. I was more curious about her deck at the moment though so I asked, "So can I see your deck?"

"Sure," she handed it to me and I recognized some of the cards from our duel. Before, today though I hadn't seen a ton of these.

"Where did you get these awesome cards?"

"Well, I drew and entered the Neo Spasions when I was a kid and I got them back last year, the majority of the heroes I got when I was ten and the rest I just found over the years."

I was amazed he made some of his cards, "That's so cool!"

She smiled warmly, "Thanks!"

"Jay, I think I'm going to like it here!"

"I'm glad to hear that!"

***Jesse's POV*****

"She's not the only one in danger! Does anyone remember me? I know I'm not the star but give me a break! A little respect people!" Syrus was yelling at Hassel-Berry and I while he hanged off the side of the cliff.

"Be careful you're hanging by a thread! So stop squirming around!"

I was thinking about how crazy this was. None of the duels I'd had back home compared with these. I heard laughter in my ear and turned to see Jay cracking up.

I guess I should have expected this from hanging out with Jaden from the rumors I'd heard back home. A shrill scream caught my attention. "AHH! It's breaking! Someone help me!"

It was a reaction without thought. The wire snapped and I lunged for it. I had it tight in my hand and my chest slammed against the tree. Hassel-Berry grabbed my arm. "I've got you Sy!"

Hassel-Berry yelled, "Hey Sarge! Private Trudsdale is 'a' okay!"

Jaden called back in a relieved voice, "Oh good. Thanks guys!"

Axel remarked, "good now I can duel with out the back ground noise."

"Hey! Those guys are my friends! And they wouldn't even have to be saving him if you had just asked to duel instead!" They both continued to duel as I heaved Syrus to safety with help from Hassel- Berry.

****Jay's POV******

I opened my eyes having a huge headache hit me instantly. I sat up. The whole room was completely dark except for a few candles that were lit. I got to my feet and started walking down one isle. "Is anyone here?"

The same voice from my other dream spoke, "I'm over here Jaden!"

I started to run to where the voice seemed loudest. Not knowing if it was the right thing to do or not but I wanted to know who it was. Jesse stood in the middle of the room. He was wearing a weird dark blue leather outfit. He was looking down so I couldn't see his face. Running over to him, "Jesse?"

The voice that he spoke with was not his own it was the one from before, deep and frightening. "It's time to go Jaden."

As I stood in front of him I was confused, go where? He looked into my eyes. His eyes were no longer a soft green but a hard Orange with dark rings under them. They seemed to glow. I don't know why but they scared me. I stepped back and tripped. He caught me but not in any way I would have expected. His hands were positioned on my upper back and the other was tight around my thigh coming in from the back. It made me blush. He pulled me close and whispered with such a commanding and harsh tone, "It's time to go Jaden."

******Jesse's POV******

Mrs. Fontan had left a few minutes ago. Hassel-Berry, Syrus and I were left in the room with Jaden asleep. She looked like she was having a nightmare. Her face was contorted and she wouldn't stop fidgeting. All of the blankets had been pushed off. Syrus looked as worried as I was but Hassel-Berry had fallen asleep on a chair.

"I'm gonna' wake her up." I told Sy. He simply nodded. I put my hand on her shoulder and lightly shook her. "Jaden. Jaden, wake up."

Her eyes opened. She looked up at me and seemed terrified. Her breathing was heavy. "I'm not going anywhere with you!" She pushed herself away from me.

She was on the edge of the bed when I said, "Jaden are you alright?" I outstretched my hand.

Looking even more scarred then before she moved back. It was a quick, I hadn't had the time to catch her. The blanket and her, she had tried to grab for support flew off the bed and onto the floor.

Syrus called and ran around the bed, "Jay!" He was at her side. Her eyes looked so confused. "You were having a bad dream."

She perked up at that and looked straight at me. Her cheeks went redder than a tomato. Apparently I was in the dream. She mumbled, "Sorry about that." What could her dream have been?

I laughed, "It's fine!" Syrus gave her a hand back into the bed. She looked like she was exhausted. I asked out of curiosity, "So what was the dream about?"

She turned away from me, "Nothing."

Syrus walked over to the door, "I'm going to go get Mrs. Fontan she wanted to know when you woke up."

Jaden looked at me as soon as he left. She stared intently into my eyes. I stared back only seeing worry in hers. I asked again, "What was the dream about?"

"Nothing," She looked to her left. Winged Kuriboh appeared. He looked worried, "Kuri! Kuri!"

I sat on the end of the bed getting horrible vibes from this whole situation that had been happening a lot ever since I'd arrived, "Then why were you so scarred of me?"

She looked at me angry, "I was not."

"Then what was your dream about?" I was trying to trick her into it. "If you weren't scarred it shouldn't matter, yes?"

"Okay, I'll tell you because guess what I wasn't scared of you at all! You just sort of shocked." She looked at me like she could take down an elephant, "I was in the library and it was dark. I started running and hearing this voice from a couple other dreams I've had lately. Then I saw you and well yeah you were kind of scary." She blushed.

I raised an eyebrow, "How am I scary?" I couldn't think of how. I personally thought I was a decent guy.

She rolled her eyes, "You had really weird eyes. It was like it was you but not you. Like a freaky twin or something." She looked up at me with an expression that yelled 'do you?'

I shook my head, "I do not have a twin. It was a pretty intense duel, it probably just got you fired up and then with you passing out it freaked your dreams a little."

She seemed a little warry, "Yea, but this isn't the first ti-"

Syrus walked in with Mrs. Fontan. She walked over to Jaden, "I'm going to do a couple tests, okay?" Jaden nodded. Soon she was being examined by the nurse.

*****Jaden's POV*****

Jim, Hassel-Berry, Alex Syrus, Jesse and I were looking down on the gym. They had turned it into an infirmary. Things were starting to get serious, yet again. Looks like I wouldn't get a normal year at DAI but I guess it's more fun this way. To top it all off Viper was nowhere to be found. I turned to face the crew. Alex looked at me wanting to know what I thought, "I'm going to go talk to Sheperd. Hopefully he'll be able to sort this all out."

Everyone came with me to his office. When we got there the principle wasn't there. In fact he wasn't on the island according to Crowler.

Jesse spoke very sternly to Crowler and his migit sidekick, "These survival duels have got to stop!"

Crowler asked, "And who do you suppose should stop them?"

"You! It's time to step up to the plate! You're the grown ups here, right? Do something grown upish!" I laughed a little on the inside thinking of Crowler saving duel academy and stepping up to the plate.

"Like what? We're powerless! Go talk to Viper! He's the one that's been making all the decisions around here!"

Alex spoke to them both like monkeys, "Hello? Do you get it Viper's causing all this!"

Jim added, "you did figure that out right?"

They looked shocked but than yelled at us, "Of course! Only an imbisal wouldn't know! We were actually about to tell you to go find him!"

"That's right and we'll stay here in case Sheperd comes back!" I couldn't help but think that Crowler was a coward.

Mrs. Fontan came in, "Adrain just woke up!"

*****Jesse's POV*******

Somehow from the information Adrain had we were on out way to this laboratory to stop Viper. "Viper's hide out dead ahead!" I turned to where Jaden was talking about. Almost if on cue a door opened. We entered and I was getting bad vibes. "Kay, let's split up and see what we can find!"

I walked down a hallway and found myself an elevator. "Guys there's a down button!"

They gathered, "But we're on the ground floor."

"Must be an underground basement!"

"Uhhhh all basements are underground!"
Jim knelt down and put his radio wave control monitor thing out, "Guys I'm picking up a disturbance."

"Let's go find out what this is all about!"

"Not so fast Jay," I said. "We don't even know if that elevator is in service" I walked up to the door. Pushing a button we were soon on the ride. "So much for wishful thinking."

We came to see a huge forest but weren't we going down. Everyone was curious and gave their small comment. This was sure going to be a weird environment.

*********Jaden's POV************

We had split into groups of three. Jesse and Syrus had come with me. We were just walking and searching when I felt this pain in my chest and heard the voice from my dreams, "Tag you're it!" It laughed but I wasn't sure if it was at or with me. I was deep in thought wondering if this was also a dream when someone touched my shoulder, "Surprise! We meet again!"
"Hey aren't you a . . . . wait. . . " I raked my brain thinking of his name, "Professor Stein!"

*******Jaden's POV********

I was somewhere black, foggy and black. They voice started, "Jaden why won't you play with me anymore? We used to be best friends."

"We . . We did?" I was so confused.

"You may have forgotten me but I could never forget you." The voice seemed to take a darker meaner edge.

*******Jesse's POV*******

Jaden was collapsed, Syrus had just run to get water. I carried her over to the wall and leaned her against it. "Earth to Jaden! There's not sleeping on the job!"

She woke, "Oh hey. What happened?"

"You collapsed from a duel."

"Oh, where's Sy?"

"He went to get water."

"We got to stop Viper!" Jay got up but soon fell.

"What you need now is rest! And don't you worry because if it comes down to it I'll face Viper by myself!" She smiled looking thankful.

"Thanks Jess. But I get the feeling it's me Viper wants."

"Huh?" Why would someone want to hurt Jaden? Jay was one of the sweetest hearted people I'd ever met. Plus she could duel maybe as well as the king of games. And she was really pretty; she cut my thoughts off.

She grinned, "You know me for some reason I'm a magnet for power hungry lunnies!" She chuckled, "Aw the stories I could tell. Like on time-"

"Hold that thought. Listen! Some one's stalking us. Someone I meet years ago . . . . .

**********Jaden's POV**********

"She did it!"

I had just defeat Viper in a Deul when yellow lightning came from each of our bio bands. A orange figure with a freaky hand came in front of Viper. It grabbed his face and before I knew what was going on or could react to it we were all engulfed in light. Next thing I knew we were in some desert with Duel academy but no ocean.

"Is everyone safe?" I shouted. Looking and seeing that they were I looked out and mumbled under my breath, "My dream?" The platform we were on tilted not being able to keep my balance I fell to my knees. I felt tired from the duel that was for sure. Before I could even try to get up on my own Jesse had picked me up bridal style.

"You okay partner?" I blushed badly while he smiled.

"I'm sorry."

"It's fine! That was an intense duel." I felt like the damsel in distress but wasn't I always the hero of this story?

********Jesse's POV*********

We were all walking back to the academy making observations of where we were when the Helicoptor pad Jaden's duel had been at fell. I thanked the world for making it happen after we got off. But when rock and clouds of dust started flying everywhere I held Jaden tight and started to run. I had no plans to let her go.

As I ran I caught a small smell of her hair it smelled like cherries. My mind trailed off.

We were all running for life when Syrus screamed. I turned to see Axel holding his leg. Jim hurried and helped him out and we were gone.

As we all slowed down now in safety I could feel someone pushing on my chest. I looked down to see Jay trying her best to push her small form off of my chest. In the commotion I had held her too tight to me for safety I was suffocating her. I loosened up, "Are you alright?"

She panted. "Don't do that again. " She looked me in the eye and seemed very serious. A word I thought would never be able to explain Jaden. What worried me was that I had barely felt Jaden pushing at me. She had bags under her eyes as well. I'd need to get her to the infirmary.

********Jaden's POV***********

After Sebastian had told me how he had gotten here I told him our story, "I was in a duel, I won and there was a big flash of light. Do you think this is that world?"

"Yes, I think it is." He lost his calm demeanor, "We're not safe! Do you hear me Jaden?" He grabbed my jacket and shook me. "They're coming after us! Don't you see we're in their world now? They're Alive! They're Alive, Jaden!" He was shouting in my face. I was in disbelief he sounded straight from the asylum.

"Sebastian, try to relax." I tried calming him down. Jim and Jesse soon took him off me and Mrs. Fontan got him some water. Jesse held him back and pushed him firmly onto the other bed.

*******Jesse's POV********

Jim and I were walking down the hall when we heard screams. We started to run towards it but in no time flat, Axel, Winged Kuriboh and Jaden were with us. "Hold up!"

"Hey guess you guys are feeling better?"

"Yeah, a lot better!"

"So you guys heard it too?"

"Yeah I think the whole school heard that!"

We continued to run to find Blair sprawled out. He didn't look so good. Jaden kneeled down beside him and propped him up a little.

He started to mumble, "Jaden, it took him. It took Marcell! I tried to stop it but it scratched me with its weird hand."

"What do you mean it? What was it Blair?"

"Look at that!" Axel pointed out. There was a huge yellow glowing gash on his arm. "It scratched him? I've never seen a scratch like that." I was getting those bad vibes again.

*******Jaden's POV*********

Blair was ill. There was no doubt about that. We could tell it was from the scratch. Mrs. Fontan didn't have the resources to help him. I was worried to say the least. What if we couldn't help him? What if this time I couldn't save everyone? What if we couldn't get back? This all flew through my mind as I stood over his bed. He looked in pain.

Blair looked up to me to say the least. I felt I needed to come through for him. I would do anything to. Later when we discovered the submarine I was all for it. I would get him the medicine he needed no matter what.

************Jesse's POV**************

Jaden, Jim, Adrain and I had arrived back at DA with hopefully the medicine we needed. We came into the building and were immediately greeted by Chazz and Syrus. They were walking towards us looking down. Chazz spoke in an eerie way, "Jaden, duel me." It sounded strange why would someone want to duel while we all still had bio bands on? Wouldn't that just be stupid? I wouldn't put stupid pass Chazz though.

Syrus cut in, "No Jaden duel me."

Jaden looked at them both skeptically, "Why?"

They both stood in front of us when Chazz grabbed her wrist. Making eye contact with her I could see the dark bags under his eyes, "Duel me Jaden!"

She pulled away. "What's wrong with you?" Stepping back she looked worried.

I stepped forward feeling weird about the whole situation, "Guys chill."

About twenty other students with the same demeanor as these two started walking towards us. They were all mumbling things about dueling us. Jaden asked, "What's going on?"

Jim complied, "I don't know they're acting like Zombies."

"But that stuff only happens in the movies!"

"Maybe they just want to duel real badly," Jaden suggested. "I get that feeling all the time." She scratched that back of her head not fully sure with her suggestion.

One of them said, "Need . . TO Duel!"

"Still think they aren't Zombies?" Jim raised an eyebrow with a cocky face.

"I'm not sold on it but I'm not thinking we should stick around and find out." Adrain cut in.

"Agreed let's get this medicine to Blair."

"You're right, Jaden let's get a move on."

She looked in deep thought. It seemed it didn't sit very well with her to run away from a duel. "Right."

"Question. How do we get past these guys?"

Jaden shouted and put out her Duel Disk, "I'll tell you how! You get your game on!"

"Jaden No!" Alex shouted from the other side of the room him and Hassel-Berry were running with some sort of ram for us. "Don't duel them!"

"Hey where have you guys been?"

"Explain later run now!"

*********Jaden's POV************

We had got the Medicine to Blair and were now at the gym. It was safe in the gym so we could all relax. I was leaning on a wall trying to get to sleep. Pharoh was purring in my lap as I petted him. I was unsettled by two things this weird world and my dreams. They seemed to only be getting worse.

Just as I was thinking of pulling an all nighter instead Jesse walked up. "Crazy couple of days, huh?"

I nodded, "Definitely. Is it like this at North Academy?"

He laughed, "No it's pretty boring there!" He sat beside me. "That's part of the reason I came here. We should probably get to sleep. We don't want to give those Zombies more of an advantage."

I smiled and complied. "Yeah you're right. Good night, Jesse." I got comfortable on the wall.

"Sweet dreams, Jaden!" Jesse smiled.

Fat chance of that! Closing my eyes I drifted to sleep.

**********Jesse's POV************

I was woken by a trembling Jaden. She looked the same as when she had collapsed after the duel with Axel. Her form lay along the wall's crease. Her head was in my lap. If she wasn't having a bad dream this would be one of those cute scenes. Who was I kidding it was still a cute scene? I blushed.

Pharoh was gone probably scarred from her movement. I looked around to see everyone else in the gym was fast asleep.

After sitting her up so she wouldn't be embarrassed, I placed a hand on her shoulder and started to lightly shake her hoping for her not to be scarred when she woke this time.

******************Jaden's POV**********************

I was standing on the sand with wind blowing it around me. It was a harsh wind though than graceful. It was almost hypnotizing the sand. I couldn't see farther than three feet in front of me. Then it all stopped. All of the sand fell to the ground. In front of me was Marcell. He was the kid that went missing, right?

Speaking in this voice that was different than the other but seemed older than what this kid looked to be, "Are you ready?"

Scarred of the answer I asked, "For what?"

He started to walk to me, "To give up."

"Never." I said plainly. "I never give up."

He walked around me circling me like a shark. "But you have nothing to defend yourself with."

*************Jesse's POV******************

Jaden woke with a bazaar look on her face. I made eye contact, "You were having a bad dream again."

"Oh," she looked at me confused. I thanked god that she wasn't terrified of me this time.

She stood up, "Well, I won't be able to get back to sleep." She picked up her duel disk. Instantly she looked horrified. "My . . . My deck is gone."

I got up as quick as I could, "What?"

"It's not here. I left it here in the disk." She looked up at me worry written all over her face. "Someone stole my deck."

Hope this work wasn't for nothing
