A/N: Aloha! None of these characters belong to me. This is after the Pegasus adventure. Not AU (Alternate Universe). Not a Mary Sue. Yugi, Joey, Téa, Mai, Bakura (I WANT HIM, I WANT HIM, I WANT HIM!), Tristan, Grandpa, Pegasus, etc., do not belong to me. Others do. Okie? Okie! R/R! Oh! Also, critique me, but nicely, please. Flames will only be used for s'mores. Thank you.

"There is a new evil lurking," Grandpa said to the gang. Joey sighed. "After Pegasus, I think we can take anything." Grandpa swerved his eyes on Joey. "He's worse. He wants to destroy all the cards and replace them with cheating and black cards. And he wants to destroy life." Bakura swallowed. "'He'? Who's 'he'?" Grandpa answered, "His name's Davvlen (a/n: Dahv-len). You need Mai to come with you-" At this Joey lightened "-she is crucial to your journey. And someone else.her name's Ayamiki-you'll find her in Jade City- go find her after you get Mai." "Why is Ayamiki needed?" Yugi asked. "She has.certain powers. I knew her mother as a child." Grandpa eyes looked sad. "You should go tomorrow, it's getting late. Goodnight." He left.

"This is so.scary," breathed Téa. "I thought everything would be fine after Pegasus." She shuddered. "Who would want to destroy life?" "It's okay, Téa," Yugi patted her hand. She gave him a sad, small smile. "Should I even go? I mean, Yami Bakura's still in me. And the dark side in Yugi isn't tamed yet, either." Bakura pointed out. "Maybe going will get rid of it." Joey countered. "And maybe Ayamiki will like me!" (Oh, just guess!) *Tristan* said hopefully. Téa, Yugi, Joey, and Bakura all sweat-dropped. Tristan was obsessed!

"Where is Mai, anyway? Last time I remember seeing her is when she and Yugi were battling." "You mean when you almost fell off the railings, Joey?! Hahahaha! Actually, we saw her after that too." Tristan said. "Yes, when," answered Bakura. "Oh. Well, where will we find here? What d'you think, Yugi?" "Well, Joey, we could ask someone," Yugi saw Téa immediately go up to someone. "Sir, do you know where we could find a girl called Mai Valentine?" She looked at the young man's face hopefully. "Well- she lives around here-check 9 Apperringer Road. She lives there. Very pretty." He smiled and trailed off. "C'mon, let's go, boys!"

*Ring*Ring*Ring*Ring*. Joey jammed the doorbell several times. "Hallo? Anybody home?!" He leaned on the door. "Hell-OOOOOOH." He put his head against the door. "I told you George-Aah!!" Mai opened the door- while Joey was still leaning his head on it! He fell on her, and they collapsed on the floor of Mai's house in a heap. They were both very surprised and embarrassed for about ten seconds. Then they regained their composure, and, both blushing, they scrambled up hurriedly. Téa giggled while Tristan and Yugi smiled. "Uh, well, why are you here? Not that I'm not glad to see you- but it's a bit unexpected."Mai looked at them expectantly. Yugi began. "Well, you see, there's someone more powerful and more evil than Pegasus-" "He wants to destroy life!" Mai looked at them. "C'mon in. I have to get ready to go."

A/N: Sorry, suspenseful, isn't it? Will write more when at least 5-10 reviews come up!
