Yugi jerked awake, gasping.

"Hey Yuge, you okay buddy?" Joey asked.

His breathing slowly calmed and he relaxed back into his seat, closing his eyes. "I'm fine Joey. It was just a nightmare."

"All right then."

Joey quickly fell back to sleep, his snores waking up a few other students on the plane. The only passengers were the kids from Domino and the supervisors.

Yugi sighed and looked out the window at the clouds.

"That wasn't a normal dream."

"I know Yami."

"It seems we're not the only ones caught up in this."

"No. And he was speaking English!"

Yami chuckled. "Yes, he was. I wonder who he was."

"Me too. But the last thing he said. 'I'll see you in India.' How did he know we were going there?"

"I don't know Yugi. But I suspect we will find out sooner rather than later."

"That's what worries me."

They fell into silence and Yugi stared at the horizon. They were below the cloud layer now and obviously descending. The plane shook slightly with some turbulence and Yugi gripped his arm rests. Tea startled awake, but Tristan and Joey were dead to the world.

"Passengers, this is your Captain speaking. We are experiencing some minor turbulence. There is no need to worry. Please fasten your seat belts. We are going to be making our descent in a few minutes."

Yugi and Tea poked Tristan and Joey awake and the students on the plane buckled their seat belts. A few of them turned green when the plane shook again.

They all breathed a sight of relief when the plane stopped on the runway.

The students piled out and there was some confusion as they all tried to get their luggage. Finally they were all loaded on a bus and taken to their campsite. Solomon Mutou assigned tent groups quickly. Joey, Tristan, and Yugi ended up in the same one and Tea shared with two other girls from their class.

"I'm pretty sure that pole goes through there."

"No. It goes here!"

"You put the stake in wrong!"

"Yours isn't even all the way in the ground!"

"There's a rock under it!"

"Did you at least clear the area under the tent?"

"That was your job!"

"No. It was your job! I was gathering firewood!"

Yugi rolled his eyes. "Guys!"

"Yeah Yuge?"

"The tent pole goes here. And we should get that set up before we worry about stakes. We need to put a tarp under the tent first too."

"Oh. Okay."

After about another hour of squabbling, and some help from Tea, the tent was finally up. It was a small four-man tent, but was sturdy enough to keep out the weather.

"I'm glad that's over with." Joey grinned. "Now who wants to play a game?"

"Sure Joey."

"All right Yuge!"

They brought out their dueling decks and started a game. They were only about five turns into the game when Tea poked her head into the tent.

"Hey. Want to watch me finally beat Yugi?"

"Nah. We're going on a tour through the Pyramid. Your Grandpa wanted me to come get you guys."

"Oh. Okay." Yugi grinned and stared putting his deck away, tucking it safely into the holster on his belt.

They followed Tea outside and joined the other students. Everyone was gathered around Grandpa and a man with blond hair that he introduced as Dr Alex Brisbane, the man who had discovered the Pyramid.

"I'm sure all of you are aware that Pyramids of this sort are usually found in Egypt. That's one of the things that makes this particular Pyramid so interesting to archaeologists. Many people have come here to study this pyramid and hypothesize about it's origins. One of the more popular theories is that this is the legendary Pyramid of Alexander. About 2,000 years ago Alexander the Great was the ruler of the greatest empire ever known. He was a brilliant strategist and conquered nation after nation. At one point he also controlled Egypt, making him one of the Great Pharaohs. This pyramid is full of traps and pit falls." He raised his hand to gesture at the Pyramid. "The puzzle with this Pyramid is why it is in India and not in Egypt. Your class has been volunteered to help in the investigation and research. For now we will separate into two groups. A small group will go inside to assist myself in cataloging artifacts and translating the hieroglyphics. The rest of you will go with Mr Mutuo and do some research on the Pyramid and life of Alexander the Great. The groups have already been chosen, so don't argue. You will all eventually get an opportunity to go into the Pyramid."

Mr. Mutou stepped forward. "The students that will be going with Dr Brisbane first will be Yugi, Tea, Tristan, and Joey. The rest of you follow me."

The students followed Yugi's grandpa and left the others with Dr Brisbane.

"All right then. Here are a few packs with supplies and whatnot. If each of you would please take one we can get started." He hoisted his own pack and started heading up the narrow walkway to the Pyramid.

Yugi shrugged and reached for a bag. Joey and Tristan took the two biggest ones, leaving Yugi and Tea each with a smaller bag.

They laughed and followed Dr Brisband up to the Pyramid. The entrance was pitch black. They took out a few flashlights and followed closely.

"Everyone stay close. I don't want you falling into any traps."

Joey took a step forward onto a section of floor that sank beneath him. Needle thin spikes jabbed upwards in front of him. "AHH!"

"Like that one for instance."

Joey glared at him. "You could have warned us!"

He shrugged and kept going. They went up a stairway, sort of. They had to walk along a small ledge next to it. If one of them actually had stood on the steps they would have collapsed, sending the offending person down a sandstone slide and into a pit. Then they had to shimmy along another ledge lining another pit filled with spikes. A little farther they squeezed through a tiny tunnel and finally came out into a large chamber.

The walls were filled with hieroglyphics. And at the far end were two passages.

"One of those leads up to the top of the Pyramid. There is a large doorway up there that we haven't been able to open yet. Down the other passage is a chamber that holds an interesting map. We will be working there today."

They nodded and headed down the passage. Dr Brisbane lit a few torches along the walls. The chamber was enormous. The walls were mostly bare with lines of hieroglyphics along the top. The map was carved into the floor and depicted an area with a large lake, mountains, forest, and even a desert. The detail was extraordinarily fine, making it appear that you were looking down at the land from above, rather than at a map.

"You can see why this is such a curiosity now. We are going to catalog exactly what this map looks like in a grid pattern."

Joey nodded and stepped forward. "This is so cool! It's like looking down at an actual landscape." He reached out to touch a square that had a mountain on it.

"WOAH!" A column of light encased Joey and then vanished into the map, taking Joey with it.

"Hey! Where did he go?"

They ran down to the map.

"Be careful! We don't want anyone else vanishing. Who knows what's going on with this. I've never seen something like this before."

Yugi turned to him, determination obvious on his face. "Sorry Doctor Brisbane, but I have to go after him. We'll be fine." He smiled and stepped forward to the map. Tea grabbed his arm.

"If you're going. We're going."

"Thanks guys. But I've been leading you into danger week after week for way too long."

"Dude. You have to stop trying to talk us out of helping you."

"It's getting really old and it never works. Now let's go."

Yugi smiled and grinned and they all stepped forward onto the map.

Okay :) Things are starting to get rolling. Sorry it's been a little slow up till now.

Anyway, tell me what you think. :)
