The Test.

Chapter 2: Journey's start.

I don't own Yugioh, Young Justice, or Maximum Ride.


A hospital in upper New York City.*

It has been an hour since Yugi vanished and I was restless. I wanted to find my light. I paced the room as a police officer came in. "I'm the commissioner of the Gotham police. Your case just became mine as of an hour ago. I need you all to follow me." said the man. Seto stood and pull Joey to his side protectively "Why are you investigating an abduction in New York. It's out of your territory." he said. "It came into my territory when two of the Justice League's younger members were taken the same as your friend." our jaws hit the floor. Two more abductions like Yugi's? Was there more to this test then I had thought?

We drove to Gotham and went into the police station. To my surprise, we didn't stop at the office that had 'Commissioner' written in big letters on the door. We went up a stair well to the roof. "Light 'er up, boys." he said and a huge beacon lit the sky in the shape of a bat. We waited, and waited, after an hour I began absentmindedly shuffling my cards. I locked up to find Joey and Seto doing it as well. This was a common habit for duelist to form. We shuffle our deck when we're nervous.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard from the shadows and two figure appeared. One was a tall adult all in black with a cowl like mask that made him look bat like. The other was maybe in his late teens, he wore reds, yellows, greens, as well as black. His mask was black and only covered his eyes. He also had a shock of untidy black hair. The teen looked upset about something. "Commissioner." said the man in black. The Commissioner came forward "Batman, you told us to signal you if we got anything on your case." the boy looked up hopefully and I knew this must be a close friend to one or both of the other victims. "These kids lost a friend of their same as you all did. Guy in white with wings and everything." the two looked at us and Joey, under the fierce gaze of Batman, stopped shuffling and hide behind Seto, who raised a guarding arm. I, on the other hand, shuffled faster and returned the gaze unwaveringly. "W-who did they take from you?" asked Serenity gently. The boy looked down and Batman answered "Two of my partner here, Robin's, friends and teammates." Robin rubbed secretively on his mask. I knew he was holding back tears, I was too. This time Serenity spoke to the boy directly "We lost our friend, too. His name is Yugi Moto." at the sound of my little one's name my cards burst from my hand as I was holding them to tightly. They floated to the ground and I knelt down to pick them back up. I looked through and found that the Silent Magician wasn't there. I panicked and searched for it. That was one of Yugi's favorite cards.

The tall teen with tri-colored hair dropped the cards in his hand and quick worked to retrieve them. He looked through the deck and seemed to panic and looked around. I looked at my feet and saw a card. It had the image of a small girl in red and black holding a staff of the same colors. The name was typed across the top of the card. 'The silent magician'. I picked it up and silently held it out to the teen. He looked up at me and took it. "Thank you." he said in a deep, cracking voice. I saw tears in his crimson eyes. I nodded and let my own tears fall. I shed silent tears for the team, Admeta, Wally, this teen, and Yugi. I knew their pain. I looked at Bruce, fully aware that my face had tear tracks running down it from under my mask. He sighed and looked at the group. "Let start with your names." the teen spoke first "My name is Atem." he choked and the introductions were pasted to someone I actually knew. "My name is Seto , this is my brother, Mokuba, and my friends, Tristan, Duke, Serenity, Marik, Ishizu, Ryou, and Joey."
