Here's chapter…4! For some funny reason, every time I went to make a draft of this chapter, I always labeled it as chapter 3. I'm such a dipwad…
Anyway, I don't own YuGiOh, or Harry Potter. By now, you should know who they do belong to, but if you don't, see the previous disclaimers in the other previous chapters.
By the way, if you have seen the movie Capsule Monsters, you would know that Yugi and his buddies enter the game to find Grandpa. In this story, Capsule Monsters does occur, but Grandpa Muto isn't there.

Chapter 4 (Got it right this time!)
"What now?" asked Tristan. The sun was starting to set, and already there was no sign of being able to call for help.
Hermione looked desperately around; at the cockpit (shuddering upon looking at the pilot), the broken laptop, and Tea's broken cell phone, when something clicked.
"Wait! We can send a message! All we have to – did you hear something?"
Yugi looked at Joey, who looked at Tea, who shrugged, "No," said Tea.
"I thought I heard – " she stopped again for all of them to hear a loud creaking noise. "What was that!?"
"I'm not sure," said Joey, "but I don't want to find out, either."
"Guys! Look!" Tea pointed to the floor. Part of the cockpit windshield was lying on the ground, but sliding toward the back of the plane. Water began streaming in from a small hole in the wall.
"We must have crashed into the water!" cried Yugi. He moved carefully toward the door and pulled the latch, "it won't budge!"
"You're kiddin' me, Yug'!" Joey pounded on the door, trying to get it to open, yet it remained shut, "We're gonna end up with the fish by mornin'!"
"Hang on! There is a way! Joey, get away from the door!" shouted Yugi. The stream of water coming in was getting larger as the plane slowly sank into the water. He pulled his wand out of his pocket, and was relieved it wasn't broken. Aiming it at the door, he shouted, "Reducto!"
The door was blasted off the plane, along with a chunk of the wall. Seto peered out of the frame, "we're on the edge of a beach. If we jump now, we can make it."
The plane tilted another few feet. Joey and Tristan grabbed their backpacks and bolted from the wreck. The others followed suit, as the plane fell into the water.
"Aww, man! I lost all my stuff!" whined Joey, as he sat on his backpack on the beach.
"Tea?" asked Hermione, "can I see your phone?"
Tea blinked, "it's broken, but alright. What are you going to do?" They all gathered around as Hermione pulled out her wand from her pocket and gave the device a small prod.
"It should work now."
Tea pushed the power button. To her amazement, the phone turned on.
Joey eyed the wand greedily, "Woa! Where can I get one of those!?"
Hermione laughed, "You can't, you're not a wizard. But now that the phone works, we can call for help!"
"My parents are on vacation…" said Tea, "who should I call?"
"Don't try my dad! He's probably passed out on the couch with a bag of potato chips and empty beer cans with the TV still on…"
"Joey, not even for a minute were we considering him…"
"I'll call." Tea handed Seto her phone.
Within two minutes, it was back in her hand. Tea gaped at it, "who did you –?
"There'll be someone here in a couple of hours," was all he said.
"Well, I don't feel like sittin' here waiting to be rescued. Let's go check this place out!"
"I'm with you, Joey!" said Tristan. He and Joey ran off into the trees.
"Wait!" Yugi called after them, "we don't know anything about this place!
Tea laughed, "Has being totally clueless ever stopped them before?"
Seto shook his head, muttering, "Idiots."
They later caught up with Joey and Tristan as they continued through the woods.
"So does anyone else think that wandering through an unknown area that probably has vicious animals is a bad idea?" Hermione said, nervously.
Joey turned and smirked, "Nah! They're more scared of us than we are of them!"
Yugi gave a surprised yelp and stopped dead in his tracks. It took them another ten minutes to get Joey down from the nearest tree.
"Is it an animal!?" Joey called from the branch 50 feet in the air.
"No!" cried Yugi, "it's a person!"
In the clearing ahead of them was a man lying on the ground. He looked a bit like Draco Malfoy with his blond hair, but it was much too wavy to be him.
Tea took her water bottle from her bag and gave it to the stranger. He downed it all in one gulp.
"Are you feeling alright now?" asked Tea, putting the bottle away.
"Much better, in fact. It's quite good you all came along! My name is Doctor Alex Brisbane, and I'm an archaeologist. I was studying something fascinating when I heard a plane nearby crash. I must have been more dehydrated than I thought, because I seem to have collapsed…but then you found me. Are you all all right? I hope you're not injured."
"Dandy," said Joey, "so Doc, what were you workin' on?"
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you," laughed Alex.
"From all of the things we've been through, it's probably believable!" Tristan said.
"Well, alright. I think I stumbled on the Lost Pyramid of Alexander! I'll show you." He led them through the forest to a vast clearing, where a large pyramid stood.
"Aren't pyramids usually in Egypt?" Tristan scratched his head.
"Well, Alexander the Great ruled many empires, even Egypt. It is fitting he have a pyramid, but it is so mysterious for it to be here."
"I wonder if someone else found the pyramid and stole the treasure?"
"Why, Wheeler? Do you want to sell something on EBay (which I don't own!!!) and earn more money than me?"
"Very funny, Rich Boy…very funny…"
"Actually, I never found any treasure," said Alex, "I went through with a colleague of mine, but he disappeared while we were both inside!"
"Who was with you?" asked Yugi, "maybe we can help you find him!"
Alex paused for a moment, as if he forgot what he was going to say, but then smiled, "thanks very much! If you can find him for me, I will reward you greatly!"
'Well, what are we waiting for! Let's find him!" Joey ran up to the Pyramid entrance and stopped, waiting for Alex to lead the way.
Once inside, Alex held up a lantern. "There's no light except for this farther in, watch your step…and beware of traps!"
At that moment the stone Yugi had stepped on sank a few inches into the floor. Spikes came through the floor tile.
"GAHH!"
"I told you, there are dangerous traps at every turn!"
Alex stopped them at the base of the stairs leading up. "Careful," he said, standing upon the slim moldings next to the stairs, "if you touch the stairs, they'll collapse!" He slowly inched his way up the side, Hermione right behind him. It seemed like forever had gone by before they reached the top.
The path ahead of them broke into two directions, one direction with stairs going up, and the other going down.
"My colleague and I split up from here. I went up," explained Dr. Brisbane, "I had come to a locked door and couldn't continue. When I went back to the lower level, my friend was nowhere to be found!"
"Well, then…let's go down there and find this guy!" Joey ran forward and down the stairs. Seeing as Joey's word was final, Yugi and the others ran after him.
"Wait, Joey! You might trigger another trap!"
"Wow!" shouted Joey, "Hey, Doc! You forgot to mention there's a room the size of Kaiba's ego down here!" Joey's remark earned him a knock on the head by Seto's fist, "…owww."
The center of the room held a giant map, spread all over the floor. Each tile held a piece of a different land type.
"…Anyway, according to legend, this room is supposed to hold an ancient game," explained Alex, ignoring Joey's comment.
"Well, let's get going, then!" Joey ran forward and stepped onto a mountain square. In a flash of golden light, he was gone.
"Joey!" Yugi, Tristan and Tea ran to the spot Joey had vanished from, but didn't stand on the map.
"Where'd he go?" asked Tea.
"It seems he went…into the floor. He stepped on a mountain!"
Tristan pointed to the far side of the room, "there's a desert all the way down there!"
Hermione stood on the edge of the board, "and here's a forest!"
/A board with different land types…where have I seen this before?/
/Duel Monsters maybe? The duel arenas that were at Duelist Kingdom, had similar land types like these./
"Well, now we have to go in to find Joey and your colleague," Yugi told Alex.
"You can't b e serious! You're going to go into the game as well?"
"I have to!"
"No, Yugi!" Tea said, "We have to!"
"Yea!" Tristan smirked, "you go on a saving the world rampage, like, every week. At least let us go with you…not like we're giving you much of a choice."
Tea and Tristan both grabbed each of Yugi's arms and jumped onto a forest square. In another flash of golden light, they were gone.
Alex Brisbane turned to Seto and Hermione, standing near a beach tile and a forest clearing. "Are you going in too?" he asked, trying to hide the eagerness in his voice. Why is he so bent on us entering this thing? Seto said to himself, if this person is so important to him, why doesn't he go into the game instead of us, or even with us?
"I don't think there's a reason not to go," Hermione said, with a bit of uncertainty, "I mean, what if the others need our help?"
"Might as well. Its not like there is anything else to do here…"
Taking one last, quick glance at Brisbane, Seto and Hermione stepped upon the map.
Yugi, Tea, and Tristan landed in the middle of a forest path.
Tea was rubbing her arm where she had landed on it, when she noticed some golden "shooter" (If you watched Capsule Monsters, then you try describing it better! HA!) attached to her arm.
"Hey! Where'd this thing come from?"
"Hey!" exclaimed Tristan, "I've got one too! Whoa! Check out these freaky belts!" A silver belt was around his waist, with six compartments, meant for holding something cylindrical, "What do you supposed they're used for?"
Yugi looked down at his own belt, "I guess we'll find out."
"What are these things?" asked Hermione, looking at the gold object strapped to her arm. They were at a clearing of trees, near a small path and pond.
"I'm not too sure," said Seto, "they're here for a reason…it probably has to do with all of these rocks with the Eye of Horus on them." He pointed toward a nearby path, near a group of trees. All along the way, every few feet, there was an identical rock.
"They must be pretty important to have all of these here. There must be hundreds!"
A low growl emitted then from a nearby bush.
"What was that?" Hermione jumped.
"What was what? I didn't hear –" Seto seized her upper arm and yanked her away from the bush just in time. A large insect with saw-like blades on its front legs had swiped at the very spot she had been standing moments before.
"What is that!?" she gasped out, staring at the immense bug. It got ready for another swing…
"Who cares what it is!" Ducking under a low tree branch, they dashed along the path, the insect (In the YuGiOh TCG, I THINK the monster is called a Basic Insect) close behind them.
"Hey! These things are all over the place!" Yugi crouched down next to one of the mysterious rocks. He reached out a hand to touch one.
"Hey! Did you guys hear something?" Tristan put his ear to the ground, "it seems to be coming closer…whatever it is."
"It's probably nothing, Tristan," said Tea, looking around, "I don't see or hear anything!"
Within ten seconds of her remark, three large bouncing insects (I forgot their name in the TCG, some type of roach) blocked their path and were coming closer.
"Well, it's definitely not nothing!" Yugi said terrified. They turned to run in the other direction, but found it blocked by another Basic Insect.
"Ehh…nice mantis?"
The Insect made a swipe with one of its razor sharp legs. Tristan grabbed Tea's arm and pulled her in one direction, Yugi going in the complete opposite. The mantis followed Yugi and the three roaches went after his two friends.
"TEA! TRISTAN!" Yugi shouted, as he saw them through the trees and out of sight. Worried, Yugi remembered he had problems of his own, and picked up speed as the mantis gained on him…
"TEA! TRISTAN!"
Joey was atop a large cliff. "Hey! That sounds like Yugi!"
He tried peering through the valley and forests below him, trying to find his friend, when from behind, a large bird (I think it's Birdface (or a name really similar to that), and incase you're wondering, I do play the TCG…) advanced on him.
"YUUUUUUUUGI! Are you out there, pal? YUUUGI!"
Well, that's all for now. The purple button below likes being pushed by readers like you! Your comments and suggestions aren't tossed aside, and I do listen to them!
