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!

"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.

Back at Joey's apartment, he looks around intently. "Nothing seems different since we left."

"Something's here." Yami points out. "I can sense it."

Joey then heads up to check on Serenity. She seemed to be waking up. "Serenity? You okay...?"

Slowly, she opens her eyes. "Whe...where am I...?" She then gasps and sits up, startled. "The monster!"

"It's alright." The stranger reassures her. "We beat him."

The two siblings then embrace one another tightly. "I'm glad you're here, big brother...I was so scared..."

Yugi turns to the rescuer questionably. "You know what thing was or something?"

"I wish I did. All I can say is, that thing definitely wasn't human. And this girl wasn't his only victim."

Suddenly, a scream is heard from downstairs.

"TEA!" Yami and Yugi both cry. Everyone rushes down to find her pinned to the floor by yet another creature, this time with what seems to be a large mouth on its chest wide open.

"Oh, not again! Leave her alone!" The boy claps his hands together and forms his arm into a sword. "I'm warning you, get away from her! Or face the same fate as your friend!" 'I'd attack, but I don't want to harm her on accident should it dodge. I have to knock it off-balance somehow, then attack!' He tries for a sideways blow with his body, successfully knocking the creature over and freeing Tèa.

"The eye symbol! Aim for it!" Yugi shouts.

"Here goes!" He raises his arm, crying out as he brings it back down on the mark. "Begone!" The creature dissolves, but this time there is no light. "Good..." he sighs. "No energy snatched."

Yami runs to Tèa's side. "Tèa, are you alright?"

She slowly sits up with a relieved sigh. "Uh-huh." She then gazes into his deep violet eyes with a soft smile. "I'm fine..."

"I'd hate to break up this little soap opera," replies Joey as he turns to the stranger. "but who, or what the heck are you?"

"Sorry I didn't explain sooner." He apologizes. "The name's Edward Elric. But everyone calls me 'Ed' for short."

"How'd you do that to your arm?" Yugi asks.

"Alchemy. A type of science. I'm known as the Full Metal Alchemist where I come from."

"Alchemy?"

"You gotta be kiddin' me!" cries Joey, bewildered. "That stuff ain't real!"

"Actually," corrects Yami. "many scientists and magicians have attempted it. But they all failed."

"That's right. I myself can do it, but I'm afraid it's weak here."

"Cool!!"

"So can you turn your arm back into flesh then?"

"Yeah, I wanna see that!!!"

"Me too!!!!"

Edward sweatdrops, giving a nervous chuckle as Yugi and Joey move closer, gazing at his metal arm in eager excitement. "Uh...No, I'm afraid not. Uh, but I can make things or fix things that are broken."

"Or slice things to shreds!" adds Joey excitedly.

"What exactly are you doing here??" ask Yami. "You seem to have dealt with these monsters before."

"It's a long story. I'm not sure you'll believe it."

"Trust me, man," replies Tristan. "with what we've dealt with, I'll bet there's nothing we can't believe now."

"Wait a sec. If one of those lights revived my sister, what was the other one for?"

"Winry...I, uh...I should go now. Nice meeting you!" He turns to leave.

"Wait, where are you going?"

"I gotta...find my watch!" He then hurries out. leaving the group puzzled.

"He's very...weird." says Yugi.

"We've seen worse, you know." Joey reminds him.

"True."

"He knows something..." says Yami, growing suspicious.

"So what? We killed the monsters, saved the day, now we can go back to our normal lives until the next psycho comes along!"

"I dunno, guys."

"Yugi, he knows more than he says. The symbol on that creature's forehead was the same as the one on the Millennium Puzzle."

"Yeah, I noticed that, too. Let's tail him and see what he's up to."

They follow Ed to he edge of town, where he enters a large abandoned building.

"This place has been condemned for years..." Yugi whispers.

"The plot thickens."

The group follows Ed inside to the main room, ducking behind some crates.

"Whatcha doin'?" Joey asks loudly. Yami and Yugi grab him by his shirt and pull him down. Luckily, Ed didn't hear. "I didn't know you guys had become professional stalkers."

"There's more to this guy than he's letting on." says Yami. "For all we know, he might be the next psycho."

Suddenly there's a bright light, and a huge gate - almost as tall as the building itself - appears in the center of the room.

Tèa, Tristan and Serenity move in for a closer look as they duck behind the others. "Look..."

"What's that?"

"Some kind of weird gate."

"Very good, Einstein." says Joey sarcastically as he picks up a nail. "Now what's this thing?"

"Uh, Joey, you really shouldn't-"

"SHHH! Guys!"

"Well, I mean, Tristan just loves playing Captain Obvious. I just thought I'd give him another opportunity!"

Tristan growls and grabs Joey by his shirt collar about to punch him, when Serenity interrupts them. "Wait, you guys. Look."

The gate slowly starts to open.

"You guys getting any weird feelings right about now?"

"You mean like the feeling of impending doom? Yeah."

Ed, unfazed and the light still shining on him, begins to walk inside the gate, taking a step. The YuGiOh! gang just looks on, watching him step through until they lose sight of him.

"Whoa..."

"He's gone..."

Serenity suddenly gets up and runs toward the gate, wanting a closer look.

"Serenity!"

She suddenly trips and starts to fall into it. Tèa runs over and grabs her shoulder to pull her back, but suddenly starts to get dragged in, too.

"Tèa!!" Yami cries, rushing over to help and save her.

"Forget Tèa! What about my sister?!" Joey panics. "Mom'll kill me!"

"We'll never see either of them again if we don't hurry! Now come on!" urges Tristan.

"HELP!!!" Both girls cry out in unison.

They all grab hold of the girls, but they too begin to be dragged in, taking notice as many tiny arms and hands latch on to them.

"Aw, man, what are these things?!"

Suddenly they all cry out as they are pulled inside. The light fades as the door closes...
