Normal POV:

Yugi and the others rushed to find Kaiba.

Desperately, Yugi knocked the control room's door.

"Kaiba! Kaiba! Emergency!" Yugi yelled.

There was no answer.

"Open the damn door!" Joey shouted as he tried to kick the door open.

"I would like my door intact please…" Kaiba said as he appeared behind them.

"Stop sneaking up on me would ya!" Joey shouted. "You're giving us all a heart attack!"

"Would you mind, puppy?"

Joey's anger grew as he clinched his fists.

"What's the issue now, Yugi? You mentioned something about an emergency."

"Right. Jaslyn is missing."

"Again?"

"Well, she must have checked herself out of the hospital then."

"No! She didn't check out! She escaped the hospital and we need your help locating her!"

"Why? She walked herself out. It's not my fault that she ran away."

"You don't understand!" Yugi said as he transformed into Atem.

"I can sense her spritiual powers drained everytime she duelled. It's only a matter of time where she faints in the middle of nowhere."

"So? What's it got to do with me?"

"Your duel disk locator! You're the only one who can help us now, Kaiba. Please!" Tia said.

"Follow me…" Kaiba said as he opened the door to the control room.

"Initiating duel disk locator." The system said.

"Locating codename: Jaslyn…"

"Search complete. Jaslyn located at Harbour."

"Isn't that place where Malik forces Yugi and Joey to a duel to the death?" Tia exclaimed.

"Yeah. But why would she go there?" Atem asked himself.

"Doesn't matter. What matters is finding Jaslyn first." Joey said.

"What are you waiting for then? Let's go quickly!"

Jaslyn's POV:

I walked aimlessly with my feet throbbing as I walked side to side.

"Maybe you shouldn't had escaped the hospital." Josel warned.

"I know what I'm doing!" I talked back.

I didn't notice where I was walking and I collapsed on the cold hard ground, panting for breath.

"Mistress!" Josel yelled at me.

"I'm okay." I said as I carried myself up and sat on the ground.

I tilted up my head.

I saw the clear blue sea, hearing the waves crashing onto the docks.

"Josel… Do you remember? The duelling academy? It's at the island…" I said weakly.

"Every day, the duelling academy is always crowded, unlike here."

I lie straight on the ground, gazing at the sky.

"I remember the same sky that I always gaze with my friends… Zane… Alexis…" I wondered.

"Let's find your brother soon." Josel said.

"And what? We get to travel back into the future?" I exclaimed.

"At least you two can work things out easier."

"I get it." I said as I stood up.

Suddenly, waves crashed on the docks and a mysterious figure appeared.

"Not again… I said. Can't these shadow creatures leave me alone for just a minute?"

"Jaslyn! Jaslyn!" That voice!

It's Yugi and the others.

"What are you doing here, Jaslyn! Do you know how worried we are?" Tia asked.

"Sorry guys. But it seems that I have company." I said as I pointed to the mysterious figure at the docks.

"Kill… Kill all…!" the figure said.

"Well, it seems that your 'company' isn't the friendly type." Joey said.

It's Aqua Dolphin!

I stood up, weakly. As I walked a few steps, I got on my knees, tired.

"Jaslyn, leave this to me." Yugi said.

He transformed into Atem as he prepared his duel disk.

Tia took my arm as she led me to a bench.

"Atem…" I said weakly. "You have to win this duel."

"I will."

Duel Commenced.

Atem's POV:

"I summon Gamma the Magnet Warrior in attack. (1700 attk) And I place a card face down."

The Aqua Dolphin activated the field spell card, Umi, increasing Water based monsters by 200 points while decreasing pyro and machine monsters by 200 points, and summoned the White Shark. (1800 attk)

The White Shark attacked Atem's Gamma the Magnet Warrior. Yugi lost 100 life points.

"You call that an attack?"

Aqua Dolphin placed a card face down and ended.

"I summon a card face down and activate Swords of the Revealing Light!"

Aqua Dolphin sacrificed the White Shark to summon the Amphibian Beast in attack. (2600 attk)

"I summon Queen's Knight in attack. (1500 attk) And I flip the face down monster, King's Knight. (1600 attk) With the effect of the King's Knight, I'm able to special summon Jack's Knight in attack. (1900 attk) I end my turn."

The Aqua Dolphin summoned the Catapult Turtle in attack. (1000 attk)

"Is the Aqua Dolphin trying to get his monsters killed?" Tia asked.

"It's my turn! Jack's Knight attack the Catapult Turtle!"

The Aqua Dolphin activated the trap card; Tornado Wall.

With the Tornado Wall activated with Umi in the field, the Aqua Dolphin is unable to take battle damage, leaving the Catapult Turtle unharmed.

"So, that's what happens." Tia exclaimed.

Atem placed a monster card face down and ended his turn.

The Aqua Dolphin summoned a monster face down.

By activating the Catapult Turtle's special effect, it sacrificed the Amphibian Beast.

The Catapult Turtle changes into a live catapult, shooting the Amphibian Beast at Atem, dealing ½ of the Amphibian Beast's attack power to Atem.

Atem suffered 1300 points of damage.

"Urghh…" Atem cried.

Atem has suffered 1300 points of damage of damage, leaving him with 2600 life points.

Jaslyn's POV:

I continued to look at Atem's duel.

"Jaslyn, are you feeling any better?" Tia asked as she brought a water bottle along, passing it to me.

"Yeah." I nodded.

Suddenly, I sensed a dark presence around us.

"Mistress, we got company." Josel said while she appeared in front of me trying to protect me."

"Hey, what is going on? What happened?"

Suddenly, there were sharks around as it used its fins to climb the docks.

"Eyy-yah! Walking fish monsters!" Joey cried. "Good fishes…"

"NOW IT'S NOT THE TIME TO SAY THAT!" Tia screamed into Joey's ears.

"I can defeat them. But..."

"Mistress, you're too weak to summon any monsters." Josel said.

"Do we have a choice?" I asked.

"No." Josel replied. "But your health is a concern. I don't want to get beaten up by your brother."

"How come you are afraid of my brother..?" I asked.

"Eh… This happened for quite some time ago…"

I sighed.

"Jaslyn…? Ideas now would be helpful…" Joey said as he tried to fend off the land-sharks.

"You're weak, Jaslyn." Tia said. "Let's get out of here."

Tia helped me to a corner and placed me on the floor to rest.

Atem's POV:

"I sacrifice my King's Knight, Queen's Knight and Jack's Knight to summon an all-powerful monster!" Atem shouted.

Lightning rages around the docks as the three Knights disappeared.

"I summon the formidable, unstoppable Obelisk the Tormentor!" (4000 attk)

With its god cards effect, its attack strength is far beyond any other card in the field.

With its enormous size, it could punch into anything.

"So that is it. The undefeatable Obelisk the Tormentor… Finally I get to see it in person." Jaslyn said.

"Obelisk the Tormentor! Attack the Catapult Turtle!"

With Obelisk's hands filled with fury and rage, it punched through the Tornado Wall, destroying the card and the monster.

The Aqua Dolphin suffered 2900 points of damage.

As of now, Atem stands at 2600 points while the Aqua Dolphin has 2600 points.

"Alright Yug!" Joey cheered as he continued to fend the land-sharks.

"Now it's not the time to cheer!" Tia screamed at a distance.

"I can hear you loud and clear, Tia... You don't have to scream at me."

"Hey guys!" A voice called out.

A man with spiked hair ran forward as he deflected and countered the land-sharks.

"Hey Tristian! Good timing!" Joey said as both he and Tristian went back-to-back.

"What's happening? I heard from Kaiba that you'd be here. But I didn't expect these sharks to walk on land."

"More fighting, less talking!"

The Aqua dolphin then activated the Magic Card; Monster Reborn to bring back the Amphibian Beast in attack. (2600 def)

It placed a card face down and ended its turn.

"I summon Alpha the Magnet Warrior in attack!" (1400 attk)

"Obelisk the Tormentor! Attack Amphibian Beast!"

The face down card was activated. Spell-Binding Circle.

Like what happened to the Tornado Wall, Obelisk the Tormentor was able to punch through the trap card, destroying the Spell-Binding Circle along with the Amphibian Beast.

The Aqua Dolphin was left with 1200 points.

"Now Alpha the Magnet Warrior! End it!"

The duel is over…

"Oh right, Yug! You did it!"

With the dark aura leaving the Aqua Dolphin, the other land sharks went back into the sea.

"Are you alright Joey and Tristian?" Tia said. "You look badly hurt."

"Nah. Just a scratch. You know how easy it was when you fight a fish on land."

"Where is Jaslyn?" I asked.

Jaslyn's POV:

"I'm here…" I said as she limped my legs forward. My steps became smaller as I fell to the ground, tired.

"Jaslyn….!" The others shouted again.

"Are you alright, Jaslyn?" Tia said as she helped me up.

"Maybe…"

"Maybe we should get you back to the hospital."

"Nonono!" I hesitated. "I just need some rest. Bring me someplace else. Just not the hospital…"

Then, the Aqua Dolphin approached me.

"Mistress?" the Aqua Dolphin spoke.

"Oh my! A talking monster!" Tristian freaked out.

"Relax Tristian." Atem said. "It's just a duel monster's spirit."

"Duel monster's sprit?" Tristian questioned.

"I'll explain along the way."

"Mistress, are you alright?"

"Yeah. Just tired. That's all." I said as I turned to the Aqua Dolphin. "Have you seen my brother?"

"I have somehow located him. But I can't sense him now. I believe that he's not in this world." The Aqua Dolphin replied.

"You mean another dimension?" I asked. "How can I find him?"

"You can start by finding remaining 3 of us. I see that you have the Flame Scarab and the Grand Mole."

"Does that mean that I still have to search for them? Is there a faster way to get my brother? I want to go home…"

"Well, this is the fastest way. If you want, you can wait for another 20-30 years to return back to your present time." Replied the Aqua Dolphin.

I cried, being tired of this so-called 'adventure'.

"Looks like we don't have any other choice, mistress." Josel said.

I stared at Josel.

"Brother… After this is over, you are so going to treat me ice-cream!" I talked to myself. "A gigantic scoop of chocolate chip ice-cream!"

"Jeez… Why are you so greedy?" Josel said, hearing my thoughts. "Isn't it better for you to take on an adventure? This way you can get an A for your duelling competition."

"Yeah right… How can this be called an 'adventure' when it involves life and death situations? And not to mention my tired legs…" I cried.

Then, the Aqua Dolphin thanked me as it turned into a card, floating into my hands.

"Jaslyn, are you sure you don't want to go to the hospital?" Atem asked.

"Yes I'm sure. Bring me somewhere else. Just not the hospital."

"Hmm… There is one place you can go to."

Here is the next chapter of the Yu-Gi-Oh – Adventure Through Time.

I wish my readers a prosperous Happy Chinese New Year.
