"I have to warn someone! I have to do something!" thought Eugenia as she
slipped through the alleys, trying to avoid the crowds of Battle City. "The
professor has gone too far this time!"
But who could she tell who would believe her? The police wouldn't. The media would laugh at her. The only thing she could do was warn the people who were in danger. Unknown to her, she was in the one in danger.
"Prof. Tomoe has gotten way out of hand!" she thought as a shadow flashed above her.
The alley seemed a bit colder. Eugenia looked around, slowing her sprinting pace down a hair. She involuntarily pulled her light spring jacket closer. Her nerves were standing on end.
She heard the sound of something landing quietly behind her, almost like a cat. Eugenia whirled around. What she saw made her scream.. for the last time.

"Now, who looks like a good challenger?" asked Joe as he looked through the crowds of duelists.
"Be careful, Joe," warned Tristan. "Some of the people here are real professionals."
"But I thought Joe was a professional," said Mina, innocently.
"Yeah, that's right!" said Joe, inflating his chest. "I was second in the Duelist Kingdom after all.."
"As you only remind that of us every five minutes," groaned Téa.
"Hey! Guys!" yelled a familiar voice. A blonde started to run towards them, waving her arm.
"Hey, look!" exclaimed Joe. "It's Mai!"
"Who?" asked Mina.
"I am so glad I found you!" exclaimed Mai without waiting for introductions. "Did you here what happened?"
"No, what?" asked Yu-Gi.
"A lady was attacked by some..thing," said Mai, a bit winded.
"What do you mean?" asked Tristan.
"I only just heard it on the news," said Mai. "I think we should go find a radio or something. I'm not sure, but it sounds dangerous."
"It has to be an exaggeration," said Téa, as if she was trying to convince herself of that.
"Well, we aren't going to find out anything by staying around here," said Joe. He started walking away, then turned around and looked at them. "Well, are you coming?"
"Sure," they all agreed.
It wasn't very long before they found a store with a bunch of TV's in the window. A report about the recent "incident" was playing.
"Here, on the outskirts of down town Domino, a strange murder has occurred," said the report.
"Murder?!" gasped Mina.
"That's not what they were calling it a moment ago.." muttered Mai.
"A young lady, Eugenia Cardlock, was found dead in this very alleyway not more than an hour ago," continued the reporter. "Do to the nature of this action, some believe that she was attacked by some sort of dangerous animal. Claw marks covered the body and.."
"Claws?!" gasped Téa. "Do you think it could be something like that thing that attacked you, Yu-Gi?"
"I hope not..." said Yu-Gi, now very nervous.
"Police believe that whoever or whatever did this is now hiding in the masses of the Battle City. Because of this, they have asked Seto Kaiba to postpone his tournament. He, however, refused to agree."
"That is no surprise," said Tristan.
"I don't like this," said Téa, anxiously. She glanced around. "There could be a dangerous killer anywhere around here!"
"Well, as long as we stick together we should be okay," said Yu-Gi, with a pause.
"And as long as you don't go walking down any dark alleys," added Mai.
"I think I should call Bunny and the others," said Mina. "I want to make sure they are safe."
"Yeah, sounds good," agreed Tristan.
"And I should call Serenity!" exclaimed Joe, the idea hitting him that moment. "I don't want her to worry too much about her big brother."
"You have a little sister?" asked Mina.
"Yeah, she's in the hospital now, recovering from eye surgery," said Joe.
"Wow! I didn't know!" exclaimed Mina. "You have to tell me more!"
"Sure," agreed Joe. "You know, Serenity is the reason I entered the Duelist Kingdom.."
"And will you start on that, I'll call Serenity," said Tristan with a dopey look on his face. He turned and raced off before anyone could respond.
"Hey!" protested Joe.
"I'll tell her you said 'Hi!'" yelled Tristan over his shoulder.
"Grrrr!" growled Joe.
"Joe, I thought you were going to tell me about your sister," said Mina.
"Oh, yeah.."
"Hey!" exclaimed Téa. "Did you see that?"
"See what?" asked Mai.
"There was a guy over there, watching us," said Téa.
"Where?" asked Yu-Gi, trying to see above the crowds.
"Well..he was there..." stammered Téa.
"Are you sure you weren't seeing things?" asked Joe.
"I know what I saw!" yelled Téa.
"Probably nothing to worry about," said Yu-Gi.
"Well, with that all settled, I need to get six locator cards!" said Joe. 'Now, come on! Where is someone to duel when you need 'em?!"
"Wow! He's on fire!" exclaimed Mina.
"Yeah, let's just hope he doesn't charge head into anything this time," said Mai, blandly.
"Bring it on!" yelled Joe as he raced into the crowds.
"So much for that.." muttered Mai.
