It Starts Now!

Depression comes to all!


The gang and Isabella sat down talking. Isabella was trying to cover her curiousness of why it was cold out side. Yugi and Yami where also trying to cover their conversation with Isabella about Yugi's condition. The only one who did know was Tea.

"So Bella. How old are you?" Asked Joey.

"I'm 19." She said. "I left collage about two years ago." Every ones mouths dropped as she finished speaking. Isabella giggled.

"Sorry if I surprised you." She said with a smile. Yami started to sense danger. This was strange. He had never felt danger this strong since Bakura 5000 years ago. Yami tensed a little. Isabella and Yugi saw this. Isabella frowned. She now sensed that something was about to happen. Yugi looked up at Yami.

"Atem is something wrong?" Asked Isabella. Yami turned to her. He knew that she could sense it. It was showing in her eyes.

"I think something bad is about to happen." Said Yami. Isabella stood up and was about to walk to the window when there was a loud explosion from out side and people screaming.


The explosion shock the whole house as if it were an earth quake. Yami held Yugi tight. Joey, Tristan and Tea closed their eyes and held on to the chair's tightly. Isabella fell to the floor close to the window. Then the glass smashed sending small pieces of glass down on to Isabella's head, but she covered her head before the pieces hit her. After the house stopped shaking they all looked at each other.

"Is everyone alright?" Asked Isabella getting up.

"I'm fine." Said Tea with a little shake in her voice. Joey and Tristan nodded.

"I am alright." Said Yami. Isabella walked up to Yugi and knelt in front of him.

"Yugi are you hurt?" She asked worriedly.

Yugi looked into her eyes. "No." Said Yugi. "Just scared."

Isabella smiled at him and stood up. Joey and Tristan had dissapeared from the room. They then came back into the room helping Mr Muto. They sat him down next to Yugi. Isabella turned to Yami.

"That was no earthquake. There was an explosion before hand." Said Yami. "There is something going on. The energy I feel is immense and maybe more powerful than The King Of Thieves Bakura."

Isabella turned to him in confusion. Yami could see that she knew what he was talking about.

"Bakura King of Thieves lived 5000 years ago in Egypt. You couldn't possibly have felt his powers." Said Isabella.

"I have a good memory." Said Yami.

"Yeah right." Thought Yugi.

"What the hell is going on Atem. Please tell me it's not magic?" Asked Joey. "I thought we were done with all that."

Yami turned to the window. He could see outside the broken glass to see people in the streets screaming. What ever had just happened obviously wasn't over just yet. Suddenly Tea's cell started to ring. She took it out of her pocket and held it to her ear.

"Hello?" She said.

"Tea, it's Ryou." Said Ryou.

"What's wrong?" Asked Tea. Everyone surrounded her.

"Tea listen is Yugi, Tristan, Joey, Yugi and Atem with you?" Asked Ryou.

"Yeah. We have Grandpa and a girl from the hospital here too. Why are you asking?" Asked Tea confused.

"Listen there is something attacking us from a different world." Said Ryou. "And they are killing some of the people. I need to meet up with you guys."

"Hold on." Said Tea. She moved the phone away from her. "Ryou says that something from a different world is attacking us. We need to find a place to meet up."

"Tell him meet us at the museum." Said Isabella checking over Yugi. She was concerned with keeping Yugi alive and well.

Tea put the phone to her ear. "Ryou meet us at the museum." Said Tea.

"Okay be careful." Said Ryou and hung up.

Tea put her phone in her pocket and looked at everyone. Everyone had worried looks.

"We have to get there but I don't think we can get there with out being attacked." Said Atem.

"Serenity is still out there." Said Joey with his head down.

"Serenity will be fine." Said Tea putting a hand on Joey's shoulder.

Isabella stood up and looked at them. "I don't think all of us should go at once." She said. "If we do we won't be able to keep hiding." She turned to Yami. "I say three go then the rest when they get there."

"Agreed. It's only 5 minutes away." Said Atem walking next to Isabella. He placed a hand on her shoulder and she turned to him.

"I'm staying with Yugi. He needs me." She said looking in to Yami's sunset violate eyes.

"Alright. I'll stay with Isabella and Yugi." Yami said turning to everyone else. "You guys go on a head and call us when your there."

"Here take my cell then." Said Tea and she passed her cell to Isabella. "Take care of Yugi, Bella." She said with a worried face.

"With all my soul." She said and smiled. They nodded to each other. Tea, Tristan, Joey and Grandpa went to the door. They looked back one more time before running out the door.

Isabella placed the cell next to Yugi. Yugi just looked down at the floor.

"I thought this was all over." Said Yugi. "I thought we could just be normal once more." Yugi clenched his hands. Isabella didn't know what he ment. But it seemed they had experienced something like this before.

"Yugi, I know your upset but now is not the time. We have to be strong." Said Yami. Yami knelt down in front of Yugi. "Please Yugi."

It was at that point that Isabella noticed something between the two boys. Something that told her that these two where gonna be together forever. Yugi lifted his head and smiled at Yami.

"Thanks Yami." Said Yugi.

"You lot seem to talk such wonderful innocence." Said Isabella kneeling by Atem. Both boys looked at each other and then back to Isabella.

"Where would you want to be right now? At the end of days?" Asked Yami holding Yugi. She looked up at them. For once she didn't seem to be that confident.

"If I could be anywhere right now... I would be with my mother, father and little sister looking after them." She said. She closed her eyes as if she was trying to stop tears coming from them. "My little sister is only five. I would do anything to make sure she's safe." She opened her eyes and tears started to form.

Yugi turned to Yami. He knew that people where gonna get hurt. They always did. Yugi looked next to him to see Tea's cell there. He reached over and picked it up. He then extended his hand to Isabella. She looked at the cell and then at Yugi.

"Call them." Said Yugi with a small smile. She nodded and typed in the number. She then put the phone to her ear and waited for it to be answered.

"Hi mum." Said Isabella.

"Bella where are you?" she asked.

"I'm over a friends house." She said with a small smile. "My friends need me and I need them."

"Bella where are you?"

"At the turtle game shop."
"Bella why aren't you home. We're worried about you."

"I know mum. But I'm fine. Atem and Yugi will take care of me and I'll take care of them."

"Who? It doesn't matter... Are you safe?"

Isabella looked around. "For the moment."

"Be safe and don't do anything stupid."

She gave a small laugh. "A bit late for that." She said. "Can you put Ria on the phone?"

"Sure." Said her mother.

"Bella. Is this you?" Asked a little girl.

"Yes. It's me Ria. Are you being a good girl for mammy and daddy?" Asked Isabella starting to cry.

"Bella. Why are you crying? I'm scared. What's happening?"
"Don't worry. Bella is gonna find out. Just be a big girl and don't worry."

"Love you Bella."

Isabella gasped. "I-I love you too Ria."

"Bella I..."

"RIA GET DOWN!"

The line went dead. There was no answer. Just nothing. Isabella looked at the cell to see it was fine. Something had happened at her house. She knocked the phone off and put her hand on her heart. She was really crying now. Yami and Yugi saw that something bad had happened. They knelt down next to her and hugged her for comfort. She started to cry heavily. They didn't blame her. She might have lost her whole family. She could never know.


Joey, Tristan, Tea and Grandpa reached the museum with out being seen. But what they had seen was bad enough. They ran inside and shut the door. They where out of breath.
"That... Was... terrible.." Tea gasped.

"Tea, Joey, Tristan, Grandpa!" Called a British accent. They looked into the dark corridor and there they saw Ryou. They all ran over to Ryou.

"Are you the only one here?" Asked Joey. Ryou shock his head.

"No there are some old friends here." He said. He turned around and started to walk back from where he came. He stopped and turned back to them. "Come on. I'll show you." He then walked off. The others then followed him. They walked down into the basement and there they saw many friends. Malik, Odion, Ishezu, and Serenity. All of them smiled at each other.

Serenity run to her brothers arms. "Big brother." She cried.

"It's okay Serenity. I'm here." Said Joey holding her safe. Everyone's eyes read worry in them. No one had a confident face any more. They where either, sad, worried or even confused.

"What's going on?" Asked Tristan, mostly pointing the question at the Ishtar's.

Ishezu stood up from the chair she was sitting on. "It would seem that monsters from another world have entered into ours." She said. "They are attacking everyone." Her face then turned to sorrow.

"We know." Tea paused. "We saw it on the way here." She explained.

"Where is the Pharaoh and Yugi?" Asked Malik with a bit of worry in his voice. Tea then remembered about their plan.

"Ryou give me your cell." Said Tea holding out her hand. Ryou walked over to her and gave her the cell. She then dialled in her number and waited for an answer.


"Alright Tea we'll be there soon." Said Yami and knocked the cell off. Yami looked at the duel disk on his arm and then at the one of Yugi's arm. He walked back over to Isabella and Yugi. Yugi stood up while Isabella dried her eyes. "Are you two ready?" Asked Yami trying to act strong for the other two. Isabella and Yugi turned to him and nodded.

"Let's go." Said Yugi. Yami walked over to the door and looked outside. There was nothing there. For them to get to the museum they would have to run through the park and around a few ally ways.

"Okay let's us." He said and they started to run to the park.

They ran as fast as their legs could take them. Yugi looked around at his neighbour hood and saw it in a wreck. All of the people were gone. The little kids who played in the street, the old woman who would say hello to Yugi every morning before school; gone. Yugi found this hard to believe. All the buildings looked like ruins now. Windows and doors smashed. Roofs crumbling to the floor and chunks of buildings gone. In the distance screams could be heard. Everything was like a scary movie, where the teens where trying to re-group and someone was going to be caught soon.

Isabella looked up hopping to see the light blue sky with a few clouds in it and a few birds flying for some food, but that was not what she saw. The soft blue colour had turned in to blood red and the fluffy white clouds where as black as the night. There wasn't even a single bird in the sky flying for safety. Isabella couldn't understand what was happening. She was smart for her age but this was not something she understood. How was this possible? Her home town was gone and replaced with a nightmare.

As soon as the group got to the gate of the park they stopped. There was a small forest in the park reaching from one end to the other. They could run through the forest to the other side with out being spotted. Yami turned back to Yugi and Isabella and nodded. They nodded in return and started to run into the forest. They split up a little so they couldn't be seen if something was in this forest. What ever was attacking the city was obviously dangerous. All of them knew this well. The end of the forest was coming into site.

Isabella was a little ahead of the boys. She stopped when she reached the end of the small forest and hid behind a bush. She waited for Yami and Yugi to catch up. She looked at the exit of the park and saw nothing. She looked along the rail fencing the park. There she saw a young man, only a few years older than herself running to the park entrance. Something was a few feet behind him, what ever the thing was had speed. The man few on the curb by the park entrance and turned to see the figure lurking over him. A hand came on Isabella's shoulder. She turned to Yugi and Yami had caught up. She turned back to the you man on the floor.

"Look at that." She said her eyes narrowing on the figure. Yami and Yugi turned to the figure at the gate.

"Who or what is that?" She asked again. Yami narrowed his eyes on figure. Something about this reminded him of something but he couldn't think of what it was. The figure grabbed the man with one hand and raised him off the ground. His strength was immense. The figure moved his face down a little and it was revealed. Yugi froze. It was the same person he saw in the alley a couple of days ago.


As they did Yugi heard something come from the alley. A small groan and then a grunt, this made Yugi stop. Yami continued walking, not noticing Yugi had stopped. Yugi didn't think to call Yami. Who ever it was, was in the shadows. Yugi took a step into the alley.

"H-hello?" He asked. "Is anyone here?"

There was another groan. Yugi took another step, this time his step made a noise. Yugi seemed to be in a trance with what ever was there. Yugi took another step. Suddenly out of the shadows came the shadow of a man. Yugi's body froze. The man turned to Yugi. The man had snow white skin with deep sharp red eyes, covered a little by his jet black hair. Who ever he was obviously didn't go in the sun. Yugi looked to the guys mouth and saw... Blood! Blood dripped from the corner of the guys mouth. Yugi looked closer and there he saw the guy had what looked like a Vampires tooth.


The figure lowered his head to the man's neck. A hiss came from the figure as the young man cried out for help. The figure then bit the guys neck causing the young man to cry out in pain. Yami, Yugi and Isabella gasped at what they just saw. The figure was a vampire. But Vampires didn't exist... did they? Isabella and Yugi couldn't move. Fear was a powerful ally for anyone, fear could paralyse anyone; like it had done to Isabella and Yugi. Yami's shocked expression turned back to determination to get back to everyone else and try to figure out what the hell was going on!

"Guys, we have to go." whispered Yami. But neither moved. "We have to go now." He said worriedly. But once again they didn't move, their fear was taking over them. Yami grabbed Yugi's arm and made Yugi look at him. "Yugi we have to go. We have to get to safety." He almost yelled. There was a small bang, as if something had fallen to the ground. Yami turned to see the Vampire had finished with his little snack and turned to their way. He looked directly in to Yami's eyes. He had spotted them. To late. What could he do?

"Ph-Pharaoh..." the vampire hissed. Yami's heart started to race. The Vampire started to charge at them but Yugi and Isabella wouldn't move. Time seemed to slow down for Yami. His brain was working over time. He had to make a move. He had to make a choice. It was now or never!


Well here's this chapter over with. I'm sorry it took so long for me to write but I've had a few exams and I've had problems so... Sorry
