"The big question is whether you are going to be able to say a hearty yes to your adventure." -Joseph Campbell

When Cecelia finally awoke it was to Croquet gently shaking her shoulder.

"Mrs. Cecelia? Mrs. Cecelia, are you alright?"

She sat up, head throbbing with pain. She put a hand to her head and realized too late that she had hurt herself when she had fainted earlier. Croquet helped her to her feet.

"Shall I call you a doctor, Ma'am?"

"It wouldn't do you any good. No doctor could get here."

She turned and saw everyone else picking themselves up from the ground. What on earth had happened while she was out? Tèa looked at the person clad all in blue with Spiky hair standing before her and stepped forward.

"Where are we? Is that Yugi?"

"Nah, it's the Pharaoh." Said Tristan.

"No Tristan, I think Yugi's back!"

"He does kind of look shorter." Murmured Mokuba.

He turned around, showing that he was indeed Yugi Moto.

"It is you... Yugi!"

"Tèa?"

She cried, throwing her arms around his neck. "I thought we'd never see you again!"

"It's great to see you too, Tèa."

"Alright, out of my way people, where's my little buddy?" Called Joey, running through the temple to his friend. "Yug! Man did I miss this. Spiky little head!"

Yugi laughed. "Hey, Joey!"

"The gang is back!" Said Tèa cheerfully.

"Don't forget about me!" Said Tristan, running to join in the group hug.

"I guess if you guys were set free, so was everyone else Dartz captured." Said Mokuba.

"No..." Said Cecelia sadly. "Max is still trapped in there." She clutched at the locket around her neck and put a hand on her stomach.

"Guess again, Mokuba." Said Joey, looking at the body of Rafael that lay on the ground. Just before everyone else had been knocked out, Rafael had tried to save the day- only to end up a prisoner of the Orichalcos. "Not everyone was so lucky. All the other poor schlubs are still trapped."

"Mr. Kaiba! Come outside!" Yelled Roland.

They all ran outside, but paused when they saw what Roland was yelling about.

"Look." Said Mokuba.

"Oh great." Said Kaiba.

"What is that?!" Said Joey, Tristan, Yugi, and Tèa in unison.

"Whatever it is, it's huge!" Said Joey.

"Don't tell me..." Tèa began.

"What?" Asked Tristan.

"It's Atlantis!"

"You sure that thing is Atlantis?" He pressed.

"Hm. Big, giant, ancient city looking thing rising up out of the ocean. I'd say that fits the bill." Said Joey.

"I guess that means Dartz is still out there and he's not going to give up." Said Yugi. "Let's just hope he's alone, guys."

"You mean he could have woken up that leviathan thing?" Asked Joey.

"Is that the giant monster he kept talking about?" Asked Mokuba.

"Yup. And let me tell you, from what I saw, it ain't pretty."

"I don't know what the deal is, but I'm going up there to find out!" Kaiba Declared.

"Great. Tell us all about it when you get back." Tristan replied.

"Hold on, guys. I'm going too." Said Yugi.

"You're what?!" Said Tèa.

"Not without me you're not!" Said Joey.

"Are you three nuts?" Asked Tristan.

"You just got back and you're going to walk into Dartz's hands again?! You've done everything you can, so just walk away while you still have the chance!" Cried Tèa.

"Look, I know it's hard to see us go, but there are still people trapped on the other side," he said, glancing at Cecelia, "and they're counting on us, Tèa."

"You're right." She said reluctantly.

"We'll be back soon." He promised.

"Mr. Kaiba, more bad news!" Said Roland.

"What now?" He asked, exasperated.

"There's a massive hurricane heading toward the east coast, sir. And it will be there in one hour."

"Hurricane?" Repeated Kaiba. He shook it off. "I don't know about you dweebs, but I'm going up there to find Dartz."

"Seto, hold on!" Called Mokuba.

"Yeah, wait for us!" Said Yugi.

"Don't do me any favors, Yugi. I'm perfectly capable of handling this on my own."

"Hey! Don't think you're getting all the credit for this!" Said Joey, catching up to him.

"Don't you have someone else to annoy?" Asked Kaiba irritably.

"Nope. Not at the moment." Yugi ran to catch up with them.

"Wait, Yugi!" Called Tèa.

"What's up? Wait, I know. You want to wish the pharaoh luck, right?"

"Um, actually, I wanted to wish you luck."

"Oh."

"And Yugi? You promised you'd come back soon. Now go and kick some Dartz butt, will ya?"

"Sure thing! We'll be back before you know it!"

"And remember, we're here if you need us!" Said Tristan.

"Thanks, Tristan!"

Mokuba started running after them when Tèa yelled "Stop right there, Mokuba!"

"Huh?" He asked, turning around.

He looked at her in surprise. "Your brother is going to be fine, trust me."

He looked back at them and then nodded.

Cecelia went and stood next to Tèa, eyes transfixed on the giant city that was now floating in the sky. She couldn't believe that she was seeing the lost city of Atlantis with her own two eyes. As she stood there, staring at it, she wished forlornly that Maximillion was there to see it with her. As she looked up at the smoggy looking sky, she tried to find something- anything- to give her hope. But she found nothing in the sky so she looked down at the ground. She was hoping for perhaps a flower growing in the cracks of the cement, or maybe something shiny in one of the crevices. Something that would tell her how all of this would end. But she couldn't find anything. It appeared that this ending would be a surprise to her.

She always hated surprises in moments like these.

So, huddled up together with the rest of their group, she watched with simultaneous nerves and dread churning around in her stomach at the city floating in the sky, hoping and praying with all of her might that her friends would be safe and that somehow, someway, her husband would be back in her arms very soon.
