Animelover123: Yes it is very sad...
Lynn10: I can't help but lighten the mood. Its kinda my personality.
Joey stood on the cliff remembering Mai; remembering Lizzie. He remembered much joy they brought him. All those happy memories, now painful. He would never have it again. He would never have happy memories again. It was gone. Tears silently ran down his face. He looked out over the ocean at the setting sun.
He had to stop the memories. He couldn't bear to remember. He clutched his head, "I have to stop." He remembered more. "S-Stop it." The pain was too much. "Arragh! Why won't they stop?"
He heard footsteps behind him. He turned and saw his friends...and Seto. "Joey, what's going on?" Yugi spoke up.
"Guys..." Joey looked forlornly at them. Normally, just seeing his friends would cheer him up, but seeing their faces only reminded him of the one that was missing.
"Joey... I- Joey...," Tristen couldn't find the right words.
"Guys...," Joey's voice was full of sadness, "I can't go on..." He turned his back to the gang and looked out over the water once again.
"Joey?...!" Yugi looked confused, but then realized what Joey was about to do.
"What're you doin', Joey," a confused and clueless Duke asked.
"...Bye guys..." His out-of-character soft voice could barely be heard as he dived off the cliff.
Yugi stood dumbly, the entire gang stood dumbly, for a second.
As soon as he snapped out of his daze, he wasted no time, "Joey!" Yugi shouted as he dived off the cliff to rescue his best friend.
"Yugi, wait!" Tristen shouted, not wanting to see two of his friends fall to their death.
"Oh, no!"
"Yugi, get back here!" His friends yelled to him, but to no avail.
Yugi dived beneath the surface of the water, searching for his fallen friend. He looked franticly, knowing he could not hold his breath for long. He spotted Joey and swam towards him then with Joey's arm around his neck, he kicked toward the surface. He started to panic for his breath was running short.
The group watched the water in horror, hoping to see Joey and Yugi surface- alive. Suddenly a huge gust of wind nearly knocked everyone- everyone but Seto- off balance. They turned to see Kaiba's copter landing, of course no pilot was seen. "Lemme guess," Duke said unimpressed, "it's remote controlled?"
"Yup!" Mokuba answered proud of his big bro.
Seto jumped into the pilot's seat and radioed back to Kaiba Corp, "I can take it from here." Everyone looked at the helicopter unsure of what to do. "Get in," Kaiba commanded. First Mokuba obeyed, followed by Serenity, then Yami, Tea, Tristen and Duke. When everyone was in, Seto took off.
Yugi's head forced through the surface. He gasped for air and held an unconscious Joey above the waves, which were starting to get rough. He suddenly saw a ladder fall in front of him. He grabbed it, but since he wasn't strong enough to carry himself and Joey up the ladder, the gang pulled him up.
"Joey!" Serenity cried when her unconscious brother was pulled into the aircraft. They laid Yugi and Joey on the floor. "Yugi, are you alright?" Yami asked, concerned about his lighter half.
"I'm fine," he responded, "I'm worried about Joey." At that moment Joey coughed and sat up. "Yugi... you saved me..."
"Yeah, Joey. I-" At that moment the helicopter lunged backwards. "What happened, Kaiba?" Tea yelled.
"There's a storm." That's all he needed to say. That's all he had time to say for at that moment the copter spun out of control.
To Be Continued..........
