Yusei was worried….

The brunet paced back and forth in his garage. Jack was sitting on the couch watching Yusei's every move. "Why are we still waiting Yusei. Do not hesitate on this! " Jack grunted out bluntly. "We do not have time to second guess ourselves! We need to go find Crow!"

Yusei paused his movements and turned. "I know..But he has been missing for a few months…right after the Ark Cradle incident….we don't even know where to look."

"Reguardless…Yusei we can't sit on our asses all day waiting for something to happen! He need to take action! Lets go. If we should start somewhere lets start at the reactor for Momentum…"

"Why there?" Yusei asked.

"Because all our problems are always linked to it…" Jack told "Now get your skinny ass on your D-Wheel and lets go. I'm tired of waiting." The blonde told and stormed over to his own D-wheel and got on it.

Yusei blinked and smiled a bit before moving to his own D-wheel. Moments later, they both sped off heading towards the reactor where the Zero Reverse incident happened.

Yugi let out a yawn. He and his other friends were in their last year of high school. The teen smiled and looked over at his blonde friend who was snoring loudly on his desk. "Joey. Joey!" he shook him. "Joey it's almost lunch time! Wake up!"

Joey shot up."Food!? Where!? " he looked around and then looked at Yugi. "Hey Yugi. Where the food at?"

Yugi laughed. "Joey, I said it's almost time for lunch! You were snoring loudly. I didn't want you to interrupt study hall again and get in trouble. "

"Oh…My bad!" the blonde laughed. "Let's go have lunch on the roof. I'm starving after a great nap." Then the bell rang. "Alrighty! Time to eat!" he said grabbing Yugi and dragging him to the roof. Yugi followed behind happily.

"Joey! I can walk on my own!" the smaller teen yelled.

"Yeah, so."

"Joey..you get too excited sometimes."

The two of them soon reached the roof and began to eat lunch.

"I'm glad you stayed Joey. I missed everyone. Tea went to study aboard. Tristan and Duke seem to bonded and are busy. Kaiba is too busy with his company and Atem…he moved on."Yugi said.

Joey blinked. "Daww, Yug. It's okay. I wouldn't leave ya! We are buddies forever! We been through so much stuff!" he laughed and stoke some food from Yugi.

"Joey!" Yugi huffed.

"Besides. We will take on anything that is thrown at us. " the blonde told with a smile. Yugi smiled at that.

"Thanks Joey for being my friend."

Joey blinked and smiled "Thanks for bein' mine."

Suddenly, the building began to shake.

Joey grabbed onto Yugi. "What the hell is this?! A earthquake?!"

"I-I don't know!" Yugi yelled and then glanced up at the sky. It seem to be splitting a a large red light shot down at Yugi and Joey. Both of their bodies began to lift up and float towards the opening in the sky.

"What the hell is this!?" Joey screamed again. 'Yugi! Don't let go of my hand!"

" Joey!" Yugi screamed as he struggled to hold on. He felt Joey's fingers slip through is own as they were swallowed by the opening in the sky. "Joey!"

Kaito let out a tired breath as he fell to a knee. He had been dueling against Yuma and lost. "Yuma…You have gotten much stronger." He told.

Yuma jumped up and down. "Woot! Kattobingu! That was a great duel Kaito!" he moved over to him and helped him up. "We should do it again!"

The blonde smiled weakly. "After I recover a bit."

Astral floated down. "it was quite a thrilling duel."

Kaito nodded at the spirit. "Yes."

Yuma put his hands behind his head and let out a small whine. "I'm so hungry now." He said. "Kaito! Lets go out to eat!"

"You and your stomach.." he said.

Things began to shake around the ground in the park where the duel was being held. Kaito stood up and looked around. "What is this?"

Yuma stumbled and fell back on his butt. "Ow! What the hell? " he said as ared shot down and began to lift them up into the opening in the sky.

"Yuma!" Kaito yelled out.

"What is happening to us!?" Yuma asked and he moved his arms and legs around rapidly. "Astral! It could not be safe. Please go back in the pendant!"

Astral nodded and vanished into the pendant. The two was swallowed up by the opening in the sky and red light.

Judai stretched out as he took a nap on the beach. Class was over for the day and he wanted to catch up on some R and R. The brunet opened one eye as he heard footsteps. He sat up and looked at the figure approaching him. "Yo! Whats up Johan."

Johan smiled and took a seat beside him. "So this is where you ran off."

"Yeah! It's one of my spots where I nap!" he said with a smile. "Did you bring any fried shrimp?"

Johan chuckled a bit. "No I didn't. I think there is still some left in the dining hall."

The brunet jumped up to his feet. "Alrighty! Lets go get som-" The beach began to shake. "What the !? " Judai looked around and then up when he saw the sky part and a red light shooting down around him and Johan.

"W-what!?" Johan yelled as he began to float up. Judai began to run towards him and grabbed his hand.

"Johan!" he yelled. Judai began to lift up off the ground as well. "Whoa whoa!" he yelled as they were swallowed up by the sky. "where the hell are we going!?" Judai screamed

It was nighttime now. There was eerie calm after the battle. The smell of the dead filled the air and Antinomy glanced around. "So many people fought hard and lost their lives against these metal bastards…" he turned and glanced at his companion; His long blue hair blowing idly in the wind.

"It's devastating…" Z-one told. His outfit was a bit roughed up. His long brunet hair tied back in a simple tie. They both looked utterly exhausted. "We keep fighting but never get anywhere. I estimate that within 40 years that the human race will be wiped out…"

"We shouldn't think about that…" Antinomy. He walked over to Z-one and wiped away a small amount of blood bleeding from a cut on his face. " We can't lose hope.."

"Hope is dead, Antinomy…Hope won't save us…Only action and planning. " he explained as he touched a panel on his helmet. His outfit began to shift into a long white robe and a larger metal helmet appeared around his head. "We should look for survivors and bring them back to the Cradle."

"Alright." Antinomy said as he followed Z-one. Soon the ground began to shake. The two braced themselves. "Another attack!? I thought the Meklords are not active at night!"

Z-one glanced around. "Antinomy, brace yourself. I do not thing this is the meklords." He told as a large red light shot from the sky.

"What is that!?" Antinomy yelled. "The sky is splitting open! Is this a new attack?!"

Z-one stared up in shock. They were standing directly under the red light. "What..on earth..?!" The two began to drift upwards to the opening. Antinomy grabbed onto Z-one. "Z-one!" Soon they were completely swallowed up by the sky.

Soon Jack and Yusei arrived at the abandon reactor and headed towards the ground floor. Yusei looked at Jack. "This is where the King of the Underworld was sealed..or at least this is where the portal was between the worlds."

"Yeah, save that crap for later, Yusei. We need to find information on Crow's disappearance. I don't like this…that birdbrain will always let us know where he is…" Jack explained.

"Jack..its nice to see you so worried for our friends…" Yusei commented.

"S-Shut up! I'm not worried. That bastard owes me money!"

Yusei let out a small smile but vanished as he heard chucking. He and Jack glanced around to find the source of the noise and looked towards one of the bridges over the reactor. Standing there was a hooded figure.

"It's about time you two showed up. I was getting bored waiting for you!" the voice sounded like Crow's but there was something strange about it. It sounded dark and twisted. The figure removed his hood and Crow was standing there. His eyes had dark bags under them and his eyes were a bright yellow the seem to glow in the darkness.

"Crow!" Yusei called.

"Where the hell were you! We have been worried sick!" Jack snapped.

The red head just laughed. "Oh how sweet. You were worried but hate to break it to you…I'm not your Crow." His smile was twisted and dark and it sent shivers down Yusei's spine.

"Crow…?" Yusei asked worried.

"If you are not Crow then who the fuck are you!?" Jack yelled.

"Heh, heh! Think really hard…which of yor foes you couldn' truly destroy? " Crow asked. "but only sealed away."

Yusei began to think…"You are-"

"BINGO!" Crow screamed loudly. "That is right. I am King of the Underworld!" his corrupted laughter echoed throughout the reactor. "Now that you know it's me! It's time to play some fun games! For too long you goody types have gotten in my way…but I have a simple fix. Oh Yusei and Jack! We are going to have so much fun!" he told and laughed insanely. A red light shot down from the sky and burst through the opening in the roof of the reactor.

Yusei gasped as he began to lift up with Jack. "What are you doing?!" he yelled. 'give Crow back!"

Crow laughed as he stared wide eyed up at the two. "Give him back?! Why the hell will I do that?! He is a perfect vessel!" he yelled up.

"I won't forget this! Jack Atlas never forgets! I will defeat you!" Jack screamed as he swallowed up. Yusei was reaching down as he was swallowed.

"Crow!" he screamed as the sky engulfed him.

Crow stood there laughing. "Now…all the heroes through time…all of them…even the fake…we are going to have so much fun! So enjoy the ride and welcome to your new world."
