Note: I redid chapter one and posted it on fanfic two days ago. That would be May 07. If you read chapter one before that date, you might be a little confused. What I redid is that the Battle City tournament they are participating in is the second Battle City tournament. This one takes place 6 months after the first one. The first one is the Battle City tournament that is currently showing on the WB in America. So Yugi won the first tournament, beat Bakura, Kaiba and Marik, yada yada yada. Now Kaiba organized a new Battle City tournament which is were my story takes place. Also, If you look below you'll see a conversation between Adelianna and the Evil One (her younger brother.) I just did that to be funny, so if you want to go back to chapter one and read that stuff, please go ahead. Plus I also added to the first chapter what they are wearing, and that Jessica and Timothy are small for their ages while Alex is taller than Jessica. Well, anyway, I'll sign off now. Happy reading, and if you like what I wrote, or if you think I messed something up, please review it. Please, please review it. I need to know that my story is being read by at least someone. Well, anyway, bye.

Chapter Two





The alley was dark, cold, and gloomy, with the surroundings bringing out certain emotions such as fear, loneliness, and perhaps hostility. But it wasn't because of the environment that Jessica, Alex, and Timothy were frightened. It was because at that moment, a rare hunter lunged towards Jessica, causing her to back up against the wall. He grabbed her hair and yanked her towards him. Alex tried to stop the rare hunter, but as Alex ran towards him, the rare hunter took hold of his collar and threw him against a garbage can that lay seated against the back wall of the alley. Jessica screamed out in pain as the rare hunter twisted her arm against her back, almost to the breaking point.

"Now," he whispered into her ear from behind. "Try anything and I'll break your arm."

"Let her go," said Timothy, close to panic as he helped Alex up.

"Yeah you creeps. She's just a girl." Alex added as he rubbed his injured shoulder where it had banged against the edge of the garbage can.

Through the blanket of her fear, Jessica felt a shred of annoyance. What do you mean 'just a girl?' she thought. But she was in no position to do a thing about it, not if she didn't want her arm broken.

The rare hunter tightened his grip on Jessica's arm, causing her to wince. The resounding laugh of the rare hunters sounded as she struggled in pain. Jessica's breath came out short and fast as fear overwhelmed her again and darkness clouded her vision. She closed her eyes in suffering, trying to block out the pain in her arm and the fear in her heart.

"We will let her go," said one of the rare hunters behind her. "If you give us your valuable cards."

Alex lifted his head up in defiance and bravely replied, "duel us for them if you want them so bad."

The rare hunters chuckled. "You'd be a waste of time. We have better things to take care of."

"Like what?" Jessica asked through gritted teeth as the rare hunter twisted her arm more.

"Things you children couldn't comprehend," the rare hunter with the bloodied nose whispered demonically as he placed another one of his hands at her elbow. "But you shouldn't worry about it yet." Then he snapped Jessica's arm like a twig and let go of her as she collapsed on the ground. Her scream rang out through the alley and into the city, piercing the tranquility of many tourists. No one bothered investigating, though. They didn't want to become involved. Except for one boy.


Joey Wheeler was strolling down a randomly selected street searching for high-ranking duelists to challenge. He did, after all, have a reputation to keep. He couldn't be bothered challenging wimps who thought that they could beat him, Joey Wheeler, when he came in second place at Duelist Kingdom and who proceeded to the semi-finals in the first Battle City tournament.

Of course, thought Joey with a frown, I did have a hard time registering for this event. This time, when the registration personnel looked up his qualifications on the computer, he didn't even have one star beside his name. That arrogant jerk, thought Joey of Kaiba, this time with clenched teeth and a hand drawn back in a fist, I'll show him. A call to Mokuba from Yugi cleared it up, though, and he was soon a participant of the Battle City tournament.

Just thinking of Yugi brought a look of thought and concentration on Joey's face, one that he rarely had. Yuge has been acting funny lately, thought Joey. I wonder what could be wrong?

Joey stopped, took out his locator cards and chuckled. Looking at his locator cards cheered him up. I have three locator cards, he sang in his head, I have three locator cards. Now all he had to do was find someone else with three locator cards, someone else who was a high-ranking duelist with three locator cards, and challenge him for them all. Then he would have six locator cards, plus a rare card, and that would qualify him for the finals which he was sure to win. Kaiba won't know what hit him!

Just then a scream sounded, a scream full of pain and terror, causing him to jump. Anger overwhelmed Joey as he realized that the scream belonged to a girl. The same furiousness that he felt when Marik's Yami, Mariku, trapped Mai in her own loneliness, or when Panik terrified and pushed Mai, came back, burning deep within his chest. He realized though, that this girl was screaming from no push. This girl was in a considerable amount of pain. Just the thought of that caused Joey to run in rage, seeing nothing but red as he followed the sound of the girls screams.

He followed the shrieks to an alley and ran inside, ready to pummel anyone he saw. But when he turned around the final corner to at last find the source of the screams he stopped with a gasp. What he saw he would never forget.



Jessica dropped to the ground, clutching her broken and twisted arm, screams erupting from her mouth and tears streaming down her cheeks. The rare hunters howled with laughter, drowning out the furious choice words that Alex and Timothy shrieked, which was probably a good thing since they were all obscenities.

At Alex's and Timothy's charge though, the rare hunter kicked Jessica in her stomach until she was on the flat of her back. He then put his dirty boot above her neck, ready to bring it down upon Jessica's quivering throat. That stopped Alex and Timothy cold.

"Now," said the rare hunter in a silky whisper, "give us your valuable cards and she'll live. If you don't....." he let the threat hang in the air, letting his victims use their imaginations as to what would happen, or in this case, how their sister would meet her untimely death.

Jessica's brothers were shaking with rage and anger, no longer in fear. A deep, throaty roar was forming in the base of Alex's throat as he imagined what he would do to his sister's captors. Reluctantly, they both drew out their decks and flipped them to their most favorite and valuable cards. Alex's was the three Gate Guardian pieces: Suijin, Kazejin, and Sanga, and Timothy's was his three Dark Magician cards.

"Here they are," Alex snapped, hate radiating from his eyes as he held out his cards.

"And here's mine," Timothy said, equally as vicious.

Four of the five rare hunters walked over to Alex and Timothy, a savage gleam in their eyes. The last one still stood by Jessica, making sure their hostage stayed put. The rare hunters snatched the brothers precious cards out of their hands and gazed over their prizes. If Alex and Timothy could see through the rare hunter's hoods, they would have seen smiles light their gloomy features.

Then, as quick as a snake striking its prey, the rare hunter lashed out at Alex, knocking him to the ground. Another hit Timothy to the soot covered street, where he let out a gasp and a groan. They continued to beat Jessica's brothers while she laid by in horror. As she tried to stand up to help them, the rare hunter with the busted nose stomped on her throat, knocking the air out of her lungs. She rolled over on her stomach, coughing violently. Her brothers cried out in pain and Jessica felt rage flow from her heart all over her body. Pure, unchecked rage. She glared at the vile rare hunters who were causing her and her brothers so much pain. Her good hand quivered in anger as it felt like dams erupting all over her body, leaking energy throughout her system.

All the pent up rage inside her was released and then, Jessica saw or rather felt, something explode, and for a moment, the universe was not the same. Jessica saw inside, and through the rare hunters. She glimpsed at their hearts, their organs, their blood. Jessica gazed through buildings and streets, could see a blond haired boy running down the road a block away. A name rippled through her mind: Joey Wheeler. She could see in her minds eye what people saw, she could feel what people felt. She saw their births, their lives, all in seconds. Jessica saw time lines extend from them and saw what would happen, and what has happened. And with a shock, Jessica realized that she felt connected with everything. No, not felt. Rather, she was connected with everything. Jessica reached out with her mind, and noticed that she could make things move just as easily as moving a finger. She lifted a stone with her mind as a demonstration. Jessica could manipulate anything she wanted at will. She stared hard at Alex's Suijin card, now clutched in one of the rare hunters hands who were continuing to torment her brothers.

As Jessica stared at Suijin, it began to grow, and instead of remaining flat, a bump gradually grew from the card. Then, with a click, Jessica was herself again, laying on the floor. She noticed with suprise as she rose groggily from the ground that her arm was fine and that all her cuts and bruises were gone. Then, with a groan, she held her head in her hands as a migraine started. Jessica absorbed to much information way to fast and her mind was now paying the price. Already, she was starting to forget things she just saw and experienced.

"What's wrong there girly-girl? Too much pain?" mocked the rare hunter behind Jessica, then stopped when he realized Suijin slowly forming itself. He stood still in dumbstruck terror.

With a shriek, the rare hunter holding Suijin finally noticed the monster growing from the card and released it from his grasp, backing away quickly. "What's happening?" he asked in panic to his fellow comrades, but they stood transfixed at the scene. "Maybe Marik is using his magic," one finally volunteered an answer, but the others remained unconvinced.

The name Marik barely had time to register with Jessica before she heard a gasp behind her and saw a tousled blond haired youth with wide brown eyes. Her attention, though, was quickly drawn to the blob on the ground that was quickly transforming into Suijin. And with a roar, the monster was released into the world of the three dimensional. It turned around and feasted its eyes on Joey. It was hungry.




Adelianna: I was thinking of stopping my story when Joey ran into the alley and saw something he would never forget. But I decided that was a little too short, so I made it longer. Now I think it's a little too long, but oh well. Sighs
