Chapter 1
It was yet another day in the city of Domino. The weather was gorgeous. The sun shone brightly, the breeze was gentle, and everything seemed peaceful. This was the kind of day where it seemed like nothing could go wrong. The kind of day, in Domino City, when everything did.
Two teenage girls were walking down the streets. The older girl had short brown hair and bright blue eyes. The younger one was a few inches shorter, with long reddish brown hair with brown eyes. "Thanks for spending the day with me Tea." Serenity Wheeler said smiling. "No problem. I'm having a good time myself." Tea Gardener replied.
The two where spending the day together, relieved that the whole Kutana incident was over. Now that Joey was alive, Kutana was safely behind bars, and the Millenium Cage had vanished, all was right with the world once again. It was a month and a half since that gloomy event had started, but nobody really remembered it. Sumi and Kiko had erased the memories of all but a few of Joey's closest friends and family. Now it seemed like nothing more than a distant dream, or maybe a nightmare.
Tea and Serenity walked along the sidewalk, enjoying the peace that rarely graced the city. "It's so nice to finally have a day where the world, or someone's life, doesn't need saving." Tea said, sighing with relief. "Yup." Serenity nodded. Tea looked around and spotted an ice cream stand. "Hey Serenity, wanna get some ice cream?" she asked. "Sure." Serenity answered.
They walked up to the stand and ordered two cones. Tea accidentally dropped hers on the cement. She asked for a free one, but the man working at the stand denied her one. That was when Tea started to argue with him.
"What do you mean I don't get a free one? I dropped it!"
"I'm sorry ma'am, but I don't give out free cones."
"But I dropped it! It's only common kindness to give me a free one!"
"Sorry ma'am."
"Then I want a refund!"
"Sorry, no refunds."
Serenity boredly watched the conflict. She could tell this would last a while. Suddenly, she heard a quiet voice whisper in her ear. "serenity..." "Who's there?" she asked, looking around. " in here..." The raspy voice called her into an alleyway nearby. "serenity..." Serenity curiously walked inside. Tea didn't seem to notice, as she was caught up in the heat of the argument.
"W-who are you?" the red headed girl asked, starting to get frightened. The voice started to chuckle in a dark, eerie way. The female Wheeler felt her heart beating faster as her fear started to increase. "I have to get out of here." she said to herself.
"not so fast..." the voice said. As Serenity turned to leave, a dark smoke came up. The shadowed cloud surrounded her. It filled the alley to a blinding point. Soon, Serenity found that she was lost in darkness. "Where did everything go?" she cried.
Suddenly, a blood red light began to shine from out of nowhere in the middle of the air. It traced around the young girl in the form of a large circle. lines began to appear, traveling across the circle. After it was finished, it took the form of a ten pointed star. It dropped down to the ground, and lit up brightly, then faded into a dim glow.
"What's going on?" Serenity asked looking around her. The smog was now blocked out of the circle for some reason. "That's it. I'm getting out of here." The red head attempted to run out of the alley. But she was blocked off by an invisible wall that emitted small electric shocks whenever she touched it. "W-what? Let me out!" she cried.
She stopped dead when she heard a low hiss. She turned to face darkness. "Who's there? Let me go!" she yelled out. The hiss was heard again. Serenity was shaking in fear now. She turned and banged on the wall. "Please! Someone! Help!" she shouted.
The hiss crept closer. Each second, it grew louder and louder. Whatever was coming, it was very near. Serenity fell silent when she felt hot air on the back of her head. The hissing creature was right behind her. She prayed it wasn't what she thought it was.
Slowly, she looked back. Her eyes moving to the figure behind her. She turned to face it. Her chocolate brown eyes widened and filled with fear as they met a large pair of yellow ones. Before her, stood an enormous, green snake. The part of it that was visible from the smoke, was as big and long as two school buses at the least.
Serenity stood frozen in fear. The giant serpent stared at her with an evil glare. It opened it's mouth wide, showing it's white fangs, which where longer that a human arm. And as sharp as that a needle. It lunged at the red headed girl with a loud hissing growl. It came so fast, that she barely say it moved before the fangs cut into her. A shriek echoed through the alleyway.
The voice laughed darkly as his victim fell to the ground. The snake vanished and the red circle shrank. It circled the girl's body, then glowed brightly. When it faded, the circle disappeared aswell, leaving it's mark on the fallen red head.
"What an easy target." the voice chuckled. A man with a black cloak on stepped from the shadows as the smoke cleared. The man's face was covered by a hood. All that could be seen was an evil smirk.
He looked over the girl. "Yes, This is definitely the Wheeler girl." he concluded. "This should get him pretty wound up." he laughed.
"Serenity!" came Tea's voice. The man looked up. He smiled and stepped back into the shadows. "May you serve my purpose." he whispered to Serenity. "Now, off to my next victim." With that, he faded away into the shadows.
"Serenity! Hey, where are you?" Tea called. She looked at the alley. "She must have gone into the alley." she decided. The brunette walked to the alley, smiling. "Hey Serenity, I finally talked the guy into giving me a free cone! Come on, lets...go..." Tea stopped in mid sentence. She stared in shock at the fallen body of her friend.
She lost her grip on the cone. It splattered all over the cold pavement. She stepped forward. "S-Serenity?" she asked. She kneeled down and shook the girl's side. "Serenity?" she turned the red head over on her back. She pulled away in shock. Without warning, a scream of terror pierced the summer air.
Meanwhile, two boys sat at a table in a burger restaurant. Yugi Mutou and Joey Wheeler had been almost inseparable since the incident over a month ago. And people were starting to talk. In fact, at the moment, two other teenage boys were staring at them awkwardly.
"What are you lookin' at?" Joey yelled. The two boys retreated and ran off. "Lousy gossipin' jerks." the blonde said, slumping back into his seat. "You know Yugi, I love hanging out with ya. But dis talk has gotta stop." he said, taking a sip of his cold soda. "Uh huh. That's great Joey." Yugi said, not even paying attention.
Joey glanced over at the spiky hair duelist sitting across from him. The boy was writing a long paper. "What are you doing anyway?" the blonde asked. "Writing a paper for school." Yugi said, not looking up. "School? Yug, school ain't for another month and a half." Joey said, looking at his friend oddly.
"I know. But every year, the teachers ask us to write an essay on what we did over summer vacation. So every year, I write it before school even starts." The shorter teen explained. "So that's how you always get it turned in on the first day!" Joey realized. "Yup." Yugi answered, his gaze still fixed on his work. "But Yugi, you still have half a summer left. Don't you think anything else will happen?" the blonde asked. "Nothing too amazing I'm sure. A huge incident involving the Millenium Items usually happens once every two months or so, so I figure I should be safe until school." the violet eyed boy explained. Joey concentrated, trying to calculate Yugi's theory.
"Hey wait, the last incident happened a month and a half ago. So, wouldn't there still be the last half of this month?" he asked. Yugi didn't get a chance to reply. Joey's cellphone rang at exactly that moment.
Joey pulled his phone out of his jean pocket. He pushed the button and held it up to his ear. "Hey, Joey Wheeler speaking." he said. From the other end, came Tea's frantic voice. It was muffled by sobs and shouts. And what sounded like an ambulance siren.
Joey lost his grip on the cup he was still holding. It fell on the table, wet soda spilling all over the table. "Hey! Joey!" Yugi shouted in complaint as the drink soaked his paper. He looked up at his blonde friend. His expression changed from irritation to concern as he saw Joey's face. The teen's eyes were wide and his mouth was agape. He looked stunned. "Joey?" Yugi asked, wondering what was wrong with his best friend. Joey only muttered a sentence, that's meaning wasn't clear.
"Yugi...I think I just found something to add to your paper."
