Chapter Three




Joey stood still in horror as Suijin turned its beady eyes on him. The sun reflected off of Suijin's armor causing the alley to turn into a murky shade of blue. It also caused intimidation and fear to spread like wild fire through the occupants of the alley.

Slowly, but surely, Suijin advanced towards Joey, causing the ground to jump with each mighty step.

"Déjà vu," muttered Joey as he backed away slowly, remembering Bakura's man-eater bug. He still didn't quite believe that the monster before him was real, but he did see it grow from the card, plus the ground shaking beneath his feet was real whenever Suijin took a step forward.

As Suijin screeched loudly, Joey decided that it would be better if he got the heck out of there. Getting eaten by a monster wasn't really on his to-do list. Joey turned heel and ran as fast as he could, but before he could reach the end of the alley, Suijin used an attack of his to spray a mighty blast of water in front of Joey, blocking his only retreat. Then, with another mighty screech, Suijin ran forward with amazing spread, its thumps on the ground blocking out Joey's yell.

"Stop," a feminine voice yelled authoritively, causing Suijin to slow down a little bit, though he still advanced forward. "Stop it please," she said again, this time with a break in her voice as if she was about to cry. Suijin reluctantly came to a halt, its eyes still trained on Joey.

Joey moved slowly to his right, trying to look past Suijin who was blocking his view of the girl. He saw her sitting on the ground then, long brown hair covered her shoulders and slid gently against her back as she raised one hand to rub her forehead as though she suffered from a headache. Her eyes were turned on figures clad in purple robes who were backing up against a wall, and with a start, Joey realized they were rare hunters.

"Now," the girl said slowly, anger radiating from her aqua eyes, "we'll see who's the prey." With that said she yelled at Suijin to attack the rare hunters, who eagerly obeyed. It was then that Joey saw the two boys laying fearfully on the ground, arms blocking their heads as though to ward of an attack.


Jessica crawled over to her brothers, fearing the worst. "Alex? Timmy?" she asked gently, as she slowly shook them. Her brothers were staring at Suijin in terror, watching the monster knock around the rare hunters as though they were dolls. As angry as Jessica was at the rare hunters though, she wouldn't let Suijin kill them. Though they deserve it, she thought bitterly.

"How is that possible," Alex whispered fearfully as he continued to stare at Suijin.

With a cry of delight, Jessica realized that her brothers weren't hurt at all. They were healed, just like she was.

"You're alright!" she yelled ecstatically, hugging her brothers close. They didn't pull away like they normally would have.

"You are too," Alex pointed out, staring at her arm. "Why is you arm not broken?"

"And why is the monster real?" asked Timothy into his sister's shoulder, who continued to watch the rare hunters being beaten with a grin on her face.

"Hmm?" Jessica asked, barely registering their questions. "I'm not really sure. It's hard to explain. I'll tell you all about it when we get home. Just trust me for now."

She jumped a little when a yell sounded as the last rare hunter was knocked out. It's task completed, Suijin and his water attack disappeared slowly into nothingness to the delight of everyone still conscious.

Just then the blond headed boy whom Jessica remembered as Joey Wheeler knelt down beside them. "Are ya three alright?" he asked with a Brooklyn accent, brown eyes full of concern. Jessica released Alex and Timothy from her embrace.

How will I ever explain this? she thought quickly. She gave him a look over. A white shirt with a green jacket and blue jeans made up his wardrobe, and she could tell that he was a few inches taller than Alex, around her age. His blond hair looked like it could never be tamed as it fluttered back and forth in the cool breeze that was blowing down the alley.

Jessica gave him a quick smile. "Were fine. Thanks for asking." She hoped to make this short. Jessica was so exhausted that she could barely lift her head. All she wanted to do was go home and sleep. For a moment the thought came across Jessica's mind to just erase his memory. As she tried to do that with her new found powers though, she found out with a shock that she couldn't use them.

"Well, um," Joey stopped as he racked his brain for words. "Well, what exactly was dat thing. It was real, wasn't it?" He asked as he looked over the unconscious rare hunters.

Why can't I use my powers anymore? Jessica didn't even hear Joey's question. All she wanted to do was go home into her nice, familiar room and figure things out. Questions kept on circulating in her mind. Was it all in her imagination? Was she crazy? Her powers felt so real. When it happened, it felt so easy to use, like riding a bike. Now she couldn't do anything. Her head started to hurt again.

Joey coughed, pulling her out of her reverie. He asked his question again, and Jessica bit her lip, trying to think of what to do. Her mind quickly thought up a course of action. She laughed, a bit to hysterically. "Real?" she giggled. "Of course it wasn't real. Monsters can't come to life," she laughed again, trying to convince him.

Joey wasn't convinced. "Well then, what da heck was dat thing?"

That stopped Jessica cold. "Well, it, well," she stuttered, then looked at the duel disk attached to Joey's arm. "It was a hologram— "

"Holograms can't attack people," he nearly shouted as he interrupted her.

"You didn't let me finish," Jessica snapped. She was in a very temperamental mood. "Well, you see, I was just testing out this new type of duel disk made from..." she racked her brain, trying to remember the company that manufactured the duel disks.

"KaibaCorp?" Joey supplied the information for her.

"Yes!" Jessica yelled as though he won a prize. "That's it, KaibaCorp."

Alex and Timothy looked back and forth between the two older teens, both knowing that what Jessica said was a lie.

"You see," Jessica continued with more confidence, "This is a new type of duel disk that projects a force field around the hologram, making it appear solid." She pointed to Alex's duel disk.

"Really?" Joey finally sounded convinced. Jessica was proud of herself and mentally gave herself a pat on the back. "Can I try it out?"

Alex provided the answer to that question, wanting to join in on the lie. "It overloaded itself. This," he held up his duel disk, "is only a prototype."

"Oh," Joey sounded disappointed, then thought of something and glared at Jessica. "Why are you testing it out? Who are ya and what's yer relationship to KaibaCorp."

Jessica was about to answer when Timothy did it for her. He wasn't about to let his older siblings have all the fun. "Because she's Seto Kaiba's girlfriend."

That made Joey flinch, not to mention Jessica who blanched. That wasn't the answer she was about to give.

"What!" Joey cried out, a disbelieving smile crossed his face. "You," he pointed at Jessica, "and Kaiba?" Then he burst out laughing, pounding his fist on the concrete much to Jessica's dismay. She glared at Timothy who smiled sweetly. Jessica couldn't wait to get home so she could give Timothy a piece of her mind. In fact, Jessica couldn't wait to get home for a lot of reasons.

Alex himself was giggling hysterically, trying to drown it out in a fit of coughing.

"Yes," Jessica decided to go along with the lie. She raised her head slightly. "Seto Kaiba is my boyfriend."

Joey calmed himself, still laughing slightly.

"What's so funny," Jessica snapped.

"Well, it's just, how can ya stand to be near 'im?"

Jessica was flabbergasted. "What do you mean?"

Joey chuckled. "He's always so cold and mean, ya know? I don't know anyone who would willingly be near 'im 'cept maybe his younger brother."

"He's nice once you get to know him," Jessica stated, though she had no idea of how his personality really was. "Well, anyway," she concluded, trying to bring the conversation to an end. "It was really nice meeting you." She stood up and held out her hand. Joey and her brothers did the same.

"The name's Joey Wheeler," he stated, shaking her hand. "Came in second at Duelist Kingdom and made it to da Battle City Finals first time 'round," he said proudly, trying to impress Jessica.

How arrogant, she thought. Jessica was about to give an alias when Alex burst out their names. "I'm Alex Jones. And this is my sister Jessica and my younger brother Timmy."

So much for giving a fake name, Jessica thought wryly.

"Jones?" Joey repeated smiling. "Like Indianna Jones, right?"

"Right." Alex nodded.

Jessica again decided to bring this to an end. "Well anyway, like I said before, nice –"

"Wait," Joey interrupted her again. His eyes narrowed into slits as he looked over the crooked and twisted rare hunters, still laying unconscious on the cold, wet floor. "Why were they after ya?" He pointed with his chin to were the rare hunters lay.

Jessica looked over at them, hate gleaming in her eyes. This question was easy to answer. "They were after my brother's rarest cards and decided to try, according to them, to 'beat us into submission.'"

"Our cards!" Alex and Timothy suddenly cried, a look of horror etched on their faces. "We totally forgot about them." They hurried over to where their cards lay on the ground.

"Well, at least you're alright," continued Joey, staring at her. "But I did hear ya screamin' from like a block away. Are ya sure they didn't hurt ya somehow?"

"It was just the terror of everything." Jessica held her head in her hands in mock fright.

"Hey, look at me." Joey grabbed Jessica's hands as she looked up. "I know ta guy dat leads these creeps. He might not like it that ya just pounded a few of his thugs." He looked deeply into her eyes. "Be careful."

Jessica was intrigued. "Who does lead these guys?" she asked as she pulled back her hands.

Joey sighed. "He goes by ta name of Marik Ishtar. Jus' be careful of anyone our age who looks Egyptian wit blond hair."

Jessica didn't need a description of him, though. She saw in her mind's eye exactly how he looked, thanks to her "powers" when it had glimpsed into the minds of her attackers. The weird things was that when she did look into their minds and saw a glimpse of their leader, it was as if some force were blocking her from pursuing any farther. Jessica then remembered something the rare hunters had said about Marik using magic.

Hmm, she thought wryly, the plot thickens. Jessica just wanted to go home and sleep, then think over everything after she rested. She rubbed her forehead again as another headache started.

Joey noticed her weariness. "Why don't ya all go home," he suggested as Alex and Timothy joined them. "Ya guys had a very rough day."

Finally, Jessica thought. "That sounds like a very good idea."

As they said their goodbye's and parted ways, Joey shouted again after them, "Be careful!"




Marik Ishtar smiled as he watched the group part ways with the power of his millennium rod. His red motorcycle was parked on the outskirts of Domino City, overlooking the magnificent ocean. He was seated on it, watching everything that had taken place when he first sensed Jessica tapping into her powers.

"Yes," he whispered to her, though she couldn't hear him. "Be careful of me, Jessica Jones. Be very careful."

He smiled again and chuckled as he started the motor on his motorcycle and rode into the unsuspecting city.
