Ch 1

What is Raphael planning? Can the heroes stop him?

Meeting Amy

"Last day of school, baby, and it's party time for Joey Wheeler!" declared the blonde teen while he and his friends walked to school while Kaiba and Mokuba were dropped off.

"I can't wait for the beach!" Tristan added happily.

"And get a little magic practice while we're at it. Now that those two creeps are out of our way, we've got plenty of time," Tea said.

"Man, I hated dose two jerks. Talk about annoying," Joey said.

"Like a certain mutt I know," Kaiba added with a smirk.

"WHO ASKED YOU, RICH BOY!" Joey snapped while being held back by Tristan and Yugi.

"I gotta admit, it's going to be awesome this summer! One more day of Chemistry and goodbye, Mr. Suzuki! What a crab," Mokuba said.

"But, you're passing it, Mokuba. What's wrong?" Kaiba asked with a slight puzzled expression.

"Mr. Suzuki's just a crazy old man! He's doubling up the work on us since this is going to be his last day here before moving away. He was a jerk to begin with," Mokuba complained.

"Whoa whoa whoa! Did ya say Mr. Suzuki's movin' away!" Joey exclaimed as they got inside.

"Yup. And I say good," Mokuba nodded.

"I'll say. I swear he didn't like either me or Joey. Even if we're ten seconds late, we still get detention! And he doubles OUR work as well!" Tristan sighed.

"Hmph... good. You two needed to be whipped into shape. That goes double for Wheeler," Kaiba scoffed.

"GRRR... DAT'S IT, MONEY BAGS!" Joey yelled.

"Wheeler! Taylor! Enough!" came the voice of their most hated Chemistry teacher.

The two froze and looked up at him. Mr. Suzuki had short, jet black hair and narrow rimmed glasses and a glare coming from behind them.

"You two are very lucky that this is the final day of school, otherwise, I would've given you both detention for starting a fight. Now, get to your classes," he scolded.

The two nodded meekly before the teacher walked back to his classroom. The boys heaved a sigh of relief and cracked a smile.

"Ya hear that, bud?" Joey asked in a mischievous tone.

"We can't get detention on the last day," Tristan added in the same tone with an evil grin.

"Uh oh..." Tea said quietly.

"He shouldn't have opened his mouth," Kaiba sighed, shaking his head.

The two boys snickered before rushing off towards their final classes.

"I need some more female friends... seriously," Téa sighed, shaking her head.

Yugi just smiled and bid her farewell for now before he and Kaiba walked towards their class. On the way, they ran into Bakura.

"I can't believe summer's almost here. This summer, I'm flying to America to help this woman. There's this old hospital called the Waverly Hills Sanitarium, where people back in the 1900's were treated for tuberculosis, including children," he explained.

"Is it haunted?" Yugi asked in awe. Kaiba only rolled his eyes. Great, more of that haunted stuff...

"Yes. They say over there it's the most haunted place. More than 63,000 patients died there from the dreadful disease. As more died, nurses working there built a tunnel that went under the building so save the other workers the grief of seeing them go by. Two nurses, sadly, committed suicide; one by jumping and the other... hanged herself," Bakura said sadly.

Even Kaiba shuddered a little at the grisly tale. "Wow... that's horrible to hear," Yugi said.

"That's why I'm going there... to see if I can help them be at peace," Bakura said.

"I hope it goes well, Bakura. I guess if we get called for anything, you'll be out of the action," Yugi said as they entered their Algebra II class.

"I'm not worried. Whatever comes, I'm sure you can handle it without my help," Bakura said with a smile.

As class started, a commotion was heard in the hallway. Yugi and Kaiba could guess that it was Tristan and Joey getting themselves in trouble on purpose. But, Bakura had a clear puzzled expression.

"Those two morons you call friends are causing trouble because Mr. Suzuki had to open his mouth and say that no one can get detention on the last day," Kaiba said to him with his signature scowl.

"Is that why?" Bakura asked.

"Why else?" Kaiba shrugged.

"What is going on out there?" exclaimed their math teacher, Ms. Lang, as she opened the door.

Next thing she and the class knew, they heard Joey and Tristan laughing, followed by Mr. Suzuki's hollering.

"MR. WHEELER! MR. TAYLOR! CEASE YOUR SHENNANIGANS IMMEDIATELY!" screamed both him and Ms. Lang.

"Joey! Tristan! Knock it off!" came Tea's voice.

The three boys could listen while the rest of the class broke out into snickers.

Then...

"AAAHH! MY CHEMISTRY!" wailed Mr. Suzuki.

The math class broke out into laughter, even Kaiba broke out into a smirk. While Ms. Lang went next door to help the man cleaning up his lab, the two boys snuck into the room, goofy grins on both their faces. Something was behind their backs. They pulled it out to reveal... a plastic bag, full of the confiscated candy from over the year!

"HAPPY SUMMER!" they said in unison.

Half the class broke into cheers as the boys passed the bag around.

"Where did you find it?" Yugi asked while taking two pieces of gum.

"Found it under one of the lab tables. Thought he could hide it from us," Tristan boasted as the bag came to Bakura.

The bag came to the teen CEO. "C'mon, Kaiba. Ya know ya wanna," Joey teased, shaking the bag a little.

Kaiba sighed and took two pieces of salt water taffy. "You're lucky I'm in a good mood," he said.

"Yea right, rich boy. You're always in a good mood," Joey said sarcastically before moving onto the others.

As they finished and scurried out of the room, Ms. Lang came back in, looking mad as ever, but kept her composure. Class continued with a few sneak eating their candy. During gym, for their last day, they played a game of their choice: either dodge ball or capture the flag outside. They opted for the second choice and they headed out to the yard.

The game began with Coach Yuki's blow of the whistle. Kaiba and Mokuba had already formulated a plan; Kaiba was to distract them while Mokuba made for the flag. They nodded to each other and Mokuba dashed for the flag.

"Hey! Mokuba's going for the flag!" one of the boys called out.

Mokuba dashed into the safety zone and plucked the flag from its stand. By then, five or more boys have surrounded him.

"Man... trapped like a rat," Mokuba muttered.

"Mokuba, toss it!" called out Joey.

"You boys want this?" he asked, holding the flag up to his pursuers. "Then... CATCH!" he hurtled the flag like a spear over their heads.

Mid way over their heads, time seemed to stop... literally.

"Not again..." Kaiba muttered.

Suddenly, a white portal appeared and in entered the three gods.

We meet again, heroes said F.S.

"Hi, guys," Tristan greeted.

We need of your assistance once more. Princess Amy is the guardian of the Mountains of the White Dragon, which are not very far from where we live. Lord Raphael of the Red Eyes Black Dragon tribe is somewhat, her rival. He's a power hungry man and we must do what we can to stop him said D.M.

"Power hungry, huh? I think Kaiba just found his kindred spirit," Joey smirked.

"Care to run that by me again, mutt?" Kaiba spoke in a dangerous tone, casting a dirty look at him.

Amy is being watched by the Gemini Elves, Kachua and Lora. I fear that Raphael does not intend to hold up his end of the deal he made with her. I've already informed Miss Amy of your arrival. I've already sent Téa ahead to wait for you and I assume that Bakura won't be joining you said F.S.

"He's got other plans over in America this summer," Yugi said.

Very well, then. Step through here and it will take you to where Amy is residing for the moment said D.M.

The five boys, with a snap of their fingers, changed their uniforms to their casual clothing before they stepped through. Once in, the portal vanished. They arrived at a small, grey stone castle and Téa and a red head girl were waiting for them by a small caravan.

"Hey, guys. This is Princess Amy," said she, gently ushering the petite girl in front of her and the princess curtsied.

"It's an honor to meet you all," she said.

As her soft, innocent eyes laid on Mokuba, the young deity vessel blushed a light pink, catching the attention of his elder brother.

"Oh no..." he sighed.
