"Where are we?" asked Joe as the group stood up and dusted themselves off.
"Underground, somewhere," answered Mai.
They were in a stone cavern. A large hole was in the ceiling overhead, where they had fallen. A few sparking wires showed that that was where the subway was. Logically, they were far underneath everything that resembled the city above.
"How are we going to get out of here?" asked Tristan.
"Well, we can't climb out," observed Yu-Gi as he eyed the steep slopes of the walls.
"We can always call for help," suggested Téa as she held up her new cell phone.
"Great!" exclaimed Joe. "But, who should we call?"
"One minute..." muttered Bunny, who had had a dreamy look in her eyes since she had come around.
"What is it?" asked Yu-Gi.
"It... I think we should keep walking," stammered Bunny.
"Walk where?" asked Joe, skeptically.
"There," said Bunny as she pointed in the direct the three cats were heading. In a particularly shadowy part of the cavern there was what look like a pathway.
"I still think we should call for help," said Shayla.
"Who should we call?" asked Mai.
"Bunny! Where are you going?" called Yu-Gi as she started down the far path. "Wait for us!"
The group, cats included, had to jog to catch up with Bunny. She had slowly started to pick up her pace. Soon she was running, looking very similar to her morning run to school.
"Wait up!" they called as they tried to catch up to her.
"What has gotten into her?" asked Joe.
"I wish I knew," answered Téa.
The corridor slowly got darker and darker, but still Bunny raced on. The only light to guide them came from a speck at the end. It slowly got brighter and brighter as they got closer. An curved arch of a door outlined the light.
"What is this place?" asked Tristan as they got closer.
As they stepped into the light, a new chamber revealed itself to them. This one did not look like the one they had left. Where as that one had rough, steep walls, this one was smooth and grey, shaped like a dome. It was completely bare save a crystalline platform in the middle. Lying on this table, completely still, was Mina. Somehow she had de-transformed.
"Mina!" cried Bunny as she raced to her friend.
"This doesn't feel right," commented Mai as she looked around.
"I know what you mean," agreed Shayla. "Téa, I really think you should call for help."
"That probably is a good idea," agreed Mai. "That girl..Mina..she doesn't look to good."
"Right," agreed Téa as she started dialing.
"Mina! Mina! Mina!" Bunny repeatedly called, trying to wake her friend. Artemis was one her chest, trying to wake her up, too.
"Is this one of your missing friends?" asked Yu-Gi, who had wandered over with Tristan and Serenity.
"Yes. This is Mina," said Bunny, but her eyes never left her friend.
"How did she get down here?" asked Tristan.
"I don't think that's important," said Serenity. "I think we should try to get her to a hospital or something."
"Mina! Wake up!" urged Bunny.
"I can't believe it!" exclaimed Téa. "That earthquake had to have knocked out the receiver! I can't get a call through!"
"That can't be good.." said Joe.
"Can I have your phone for a moment?" asked Shayla. "I may have an idea."
"If you can get through..." said Téa, handing her cell phone over.
Shayla took it and dialed the number, sight unseen. Her fingers had long since memorized their position.
"Well, I guess it could be worse," said Joe.
"Don't say that, or it will get worse," said Téa.
"Hello?" said Shayla into the cell phone. "Hi, Seto.. Well, actually, yes. We got caught in the middle of it... No, I'm not hurt, but we are under the subway system of Tokyo.. Yes, I said we..."
"Hang on a minute!" yelled Joe. "You aren't asking Seto Kaiba for help!" He snatched the phone out of her hands. "WE DON'T NEED YOUR HELP!" he yelled into it before disconnecting.
"That was rude," commented Mai.
"How could you reach him?" asked Téa.
"Kaiba Corp. has its own satellite, which is wired to the Kaiba mansion. No earthquake could knock that out," answered Shayla, calmly.
"Huff!" protested Joe.
"Come on, Mina!" exclaimed Bunny. "Wake up!"
"Is it just me, or did it get darker in here?" asked Serenity. Worry crossed her eyes. "I don't like this."

"Do you sense that?" asked Marik to Yami Bakura.
"Yes, an ancient darkness is moving," answered Yami Bakura. He looked thoughtful for a moment. "And with something like this, it is bound to attract the attention of the pharaoh."
"We are not beaten yet," said Marik. "This is our opportunity to crush the pharaoh once for all. This darkness will do most of the work for us."
