Authoress' Note: Hey, guys. New story time! Due to a lightning storm frying my computer's hard drive the other night (May 28, 2009) I had to get a new PC. So as it stands, all my files - music, my made and saved AMVs, rp files and pictures - are all gone. But luckily, I have some friends who saved some of my old files and I'm just waiting to get them back. Once that happens, given my friend didn't screw anything up, I will continue "Angel From Above" and so on. For now, enjoy this not-so-new story. 3 years in planning!

It's a seemingly normal clear day in the city of Domino. Evil had been defeated and things had finally settled down. Or so it was thought.

"I'm so psyched!!" exclaims Joey as he walks down the street with his best friends. "Serenity's coming to visit for the weekend!!"

"That's great, Joey!"

"It's been awhile since we've seen her, hasn't it?"

"Do you know when she's coming, Joey?" asks Tristan.

"She said she'd be at the door at exactly 5 sharp."

"JOEY!" Yugi suddenly cries. "THAT'S IN FIVE MINUTES!!"

"Aw, man! Stupid watch is slow!" The sandy-blonde sweatdrops and gripes as he looks at his wrist.

"You did remember to set it forward one hour for Daylight Savings Time, right?"

"Guess not!"

"Oh, brother..." Tèa sweatdrops and mutters under her breath.

"You can say that again..." agrees Tristan.

Joey then takes off, with everyone else following close behind. "She has the extra house key. She'll just let herself in."

"You should still be there when she shows up."

"I'm sure she'll understand. She knows him just as well as we do, if not more. She probably figured he'd mess up at some point." Yami teases with a half-smirk.

"Thanks for the support, you guys!"

The others laugh in amusement.

They finally reach Joey's house. But the door is wide open. "See?? She probably just got here."

"Joey, it's ten after." Yugi says, looking at his own watch.

"So??? She's here, I'm here. That's all that matters." Suddenly, they hear Serenity scream from the top floor. Seconds later, a tall, lanky figure leaps out the top floor window and away with remarkable speed. "Serenity!!" They all run upstairs and sees Serenity's lifeless body on the floor. Her evergreen eyes are open and staring at the ceiling, her mouth wide as if still in terror. "Aw, man!! Please, no!" He rushes to his baby sister's side and checks her pulse and breathing. "She...she's alive...and yet...not!!"

"Look at this...There are bruises on her wrists." Yami points out. "She must've been held down."

"Just wait until I get my hands on that creep!!" Enraged, he runs back downstairs.

"Joey, wait!"

"Yami, something is very wrong. This is no ordinary burglary." Yugi says worriedly.

"I feel it, too."

At that same moment, not far from where Yugi and his friends were, another boy - not from around these parts - was in pursuit of the same creature. He stops, seemingly to have lost it temporarily as he looks around. 'Darn it...where did you go? I have to stop it, or else...'

Back at the apartment, Joey holds back tears in frustration. "I should've been here. If I wasn't so stupid and set my watch right, this wouldn't have happened!"

"Don't blame yourself, Joey. You didn't know."

"Tèa's right, man. None of us expected this. It's not your fault."

Joey clenches his fists before running out again. "I'm gonna find that guy and tear 'im apart!!"

"Joey! Let the police handle this!"

"Yugi, I know where he is."

"The burglar?"

"Yes. For some reason, I can sense his presence."

"You think he has an item?"

"There's only one way to find out." He and Yugi follow after Joey.

Back with the mystery boy, he was still on the same trail. Little did he know, both paths would eventually meet. And sooner than he thought. 'I know you're here somewhere.' "Show yourself, you coward!" That's when he spots it again. "Got you!" Giving a grunt, he gives chase again.

Meanwhile, Joey runs up and down the alleyways looking for the perp, with the others in tow.

"Joey, you can't do this! What if the guy is armed or something??"

"This from a guy who has taken on an evil spirit, an Egyptian psycho and a sadistic king of a lost country!"

"Joey, that was mostly me." Yami corrects.

"I was there, too, you know!!" Yugi cuts in, annoyed.

Then Joey spots the crook again. "There you are, ya creep!!" They chase the burglar into an alleyway where he appears to be trapped, thanks to a brick wall. "You're gonna pay for what you did to my sister!!" But then, the man turns. And it was no man...but a monster! It was unnaturally thin in the waist, yet its chest was large. It had no face except for a strange eye symbol on its forehead. It's arms and legs were long and tipped with claws and it had blue skin and was covered with strange tattoos. "Ugh! You're an ugly sucker!"

"Yami! That eye on its head!"

Joey goes to attack it, even as Tèa pleads with him not to. But it's too late. Suddenly...

"STOP!!!"

The same boy who had been tracking the creature from the beginning arrives behind them, panting. He slices off the monster's left arm, but a new one grows right back!

"Who's this guy?" Joey asks.

Yugi looks at Yami, also confused. "I don't know."

"You have no business being here!" states the boy to the creature. "Go back to wherever it is you came from!" The creature makes no noise but slashes at the boy with its long claws, who dodges.

"Who is he?"

"I have no idea, but whoever he is, he seems to need some help." Yugi picks up a rock from the ground and chucks it at the creature. The rock hits it in its forehead and the eye symbol cracks and breaks, a bright beam of light shooting from what remains before the creature dissolves and disappears.

The boy sighs in relief. "Thank goodness that's over." He transforms his hand back from the dagger before turning to the others.

"Hey, what's that?" Yugi points out as two balls of hover for a second before shooting in different directions, one headed for Joey's apartment.

"Oh, great! Now what?!"

"One of them went toward my house!" Joey exclaims before running.

"Here we go again..." Yami says before following as Yugi sighs and looks at the boy.

"You might as well come along." The boy nods and follows after them.
