I blame Final Fantasy X for the delay.
I exchanged a broken game that I got for a used copy, out of boredom, and got hooked on it.
Darn you, Tidus.
I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's, or Yu-Gi-Oh! GX.
Chapter Twelve - Realization.
Narrative POV
Area: Unknown
Time: Unknown
"...He's gone off already, hasn't he?"
"Yep! Placido has gone to kill the droid, and just drag the Dragon Head Signer back to the future. He thinks it'll just be simpler this way."
"Simplier, but not better. It's too rash..."
"That's Placido for you. He thinks your plan to complete the Circuit will be too slow."
"Hmph. And forcefully taking the Signer's powers will work better? There could be a rebound."
"Heh, well, Placido doesn't seem to care."
"..."
"I just want to see which plan works the best for now. I wonder which one it'll be? Hee-hee-hee!"
Narrative POV
Duel Academy - Main Duel Area
"This is starting to worry me. Jaden and Jesse have both disappeared, and not a trace of where they've gone is to be found. Jim, where'd you last see Jesse again?"
"Kid was heading out towards the volcano, last I saw. Looked like he was in a bit of a hurry. Why, though, I have no idea. You got an idea, Aleixs?"
"No..."
"Maybe the slacker got lost on the island again," Chazz pretended to be indifferent. "Jesse might've went looking for him and got lost as well."
"The sarge wouldn't wander off like that!" Hassleberry retorted to Chazz, who ignored him. "Plus, he and Jesse both have their PDA's with them, so they couldn't get lost!"
The group was left puzzled, lost in half-thought ideas with no evidence to prove them. It made no sense.
They've been through different trials and situations before, difficult and filled with pain, but never before had they faced a more confusing situation. This was not something they could simply duel through, for they had no obvious opponent. And another problem, was that they weren't sure of what do make of the disappearance of their friends.
"Let's think a little more rationally with this," Bastion suggested, stepping forward. Six pairs of eyes turned to him, each with various levels of curiosity and hope. "Something's obviously happening here. First, three unexpected, new transfer students appear with white cards, then Jaden and Jesse disappear, two very skilled duelists, and then this unpredicted, usual storm happens."
"What are you trying to say?" Hassleberry challenged, accidentally pushing Syrus aside in his over-energetic response.
"It's possible that these new 'transfer students' could know something." Bastion answered, gazing around the room filled with students. "But this is still just a theory. Come on, we need to find them."
"Yusei still isn't here, Jack."
"No, really?" Jack snapped at his orange-haired friend. Being torn from a duel he was winning and dragged inside to a noisy room filled with so many students had annoyed Jack immensely. Therefor, his patience had shrunk to the level where was not about to tolerate Crow's habit of stating the obvious.
Crow glared at him for a brief second, then gave an exasperated sigh.
"He said he something important to say, then seemingly changed his mind mid-way. Then he disappears, and this stupid PDA thing keeps saying it can't connect to Yusei's. Something's up, Jack, and you know it." Crow mutters, leaning back against the wall.
"And what are we supposed to do?" Jack counters, scowling.
"Look for him!"
"Oh? And where are we going to look, Crow? This island could take days to search thoroughly, and in this blasted storm, how much progress do you really think we're going to make?"
"This is Yusei we're talking about, though Jack! If he can't contact us back, then he's probably in a lot of trouble!"
"Keep your voice down, you idiot! We don't need unwanted attention."
"Ha! You're one to talk!"
"Shut up!"
"You first!"
"Make me, you little-!"
"Oh? A challenge is it? Bring it on then, Jack!"
"Ha! You won't even be worth the time!"
"Backing down, eh?"
"Hardly. Fine, we'll see who's the better of us both!"
"Duel!"

Progress.
Albeit, really small progress. I feel made Jack and Crow a little OC in this...
But I couldn't get that right. I did that part over about three times.
Mainly, I based their reactions of ep. Yusei Captured, though Crow taking Aki's reactions.
My partial explanation is: If one of your friends suddenly is no where to be found, and your in a different time line, that should be some cause to be worried.
I need feedback: Am I better at writing Narrative/Third Person POV, or First Person POV? / Which to you prefer?
If all goes well, the next chapter may be longer, due to the fact I'll be switching back to First POV.
Sorry for the wait, again.
