"You geeks have wasted enough of my time. I have a company to run." Kaiba says walking out of the room.
"Kaiba!" Yami yells.
Kaiba ignores him and keeps walking. Mokuba follows him out. "What's the plan now?" I ask.
"We've gotta find this Dartz guy and then whoop his gang into next week!" Joey says.
"But those guys left without giving us a place to even start looking." Tristan says.
"What about Professor Halkins? He might be able to give us more information about all of this." Yami says.
"Good plan! But how are we going to get there?" Tea asks.
We hear something coming from outside the building, so we head back into Pegasus' office and open the curtains. Outside, we can see Kaiba and Mokuba flying off in their Blue-Eyes Jet. "We've got to flag him down!" Tristan says.
"There's no point. He won't stop for us." I say.
"Oh, wait! We can take my car!" Duke says.
The five of us head downstairs. Standing by the door is Rex and Weevil. "What are you guys doing here?" Tea asks.
"Oh, I drove them here. They helped me find you guys." Duke says.
"Yeah! And you can't just leave us here!" Rex says.
"Don't worry; I've got the perfect spot for you two." Duke says.
~Sabrina~
Our luggage is waiting by the door so we grab it and head out to Duke's car. We stuff all of our bags into the trunk and begin to get in. Tristan, Joey, Yugi and I sit in the back while Tea and Duke are in the front. "Hey, where are we supposed to sit?" Weevil says.
"Easy. You guys sit in the trunk." Duke says.
"What!?"
"Well, do you guys want a ride or not?"
Weevil and Rex sigh and then get into the trunk. Professor Halkin's house is a long way away from Industrial Illusions. By nightfall, we finally make it to where the house is supposed to be. But now, it's just a bunch of rubble. We all get out of the car and look around, "Professor Halkins?" Yugi shouts.
I start walking around the rubble to see if I can find anyone. Next to a pile of rubble, Rebecca is sitting there asleep. I rush over to her and kneel next to her, "Rebecca? Rebecca, wake up!" I say.
She opens her eyes and looks up at me, "Sabrina?" she says.
I nod, "Yeah, what happened here?"
Tears begin to well up in her eyes, "T-they took him. M-my grandpa. Why? Why him? H-he didn't hurt anyone!"
She begins to sob and I pull her in for a hug. Sure, most of the time I don't like her, but I can't help but feel sorry for her right now. The rest of the gang must've heard Rebecca crying, because they head up to us. "What happened?" Yugi asks.
"That gang. They took Professor Halkins." I say.
Everyone goes wide-eyed, "But, why?"
I shrug at them. My attention goes back to Rebecca, who is still crying, "Come on Rebecca, let's get away from this rubble." I say.
"O-okay. We can go to the trailer by the road." She says.
I stand up and Rebecca is still clinging to me. I pry her off of me and she leads us to the trailer, which is attached to a truck. We all head inside and sit down at the table. Rebecca is starting to calm down and stopped crying, but she still looks rather depressed.
"But why would they go after the Professor?" Tea asks.
"Didn't you guys say he made some kind of discovery?" Duke says.
"Yeah, he found Atlantis." Yugi says, "Rebecca, remember that stone I gave your grandfather? Do you still have it?"
"Yeah, it's around my neck. Gramps told me to hang onto it." She says taking it off her neck and handing it to Yugi.
"Maybe that's what they were after." Tristan says.
"There's no way to be sure." I say, "But, if they are after that stone, then won't they come back?"
"Great, now we gotta wait here? Can we at least eat dinner first? I'm starvin'!" Joey says.
"Wait, what about Rex and Weevil?" Tristan asks.
They didn't enter the trailer with us, "Well, it doesn't matter. Their jerks anyway." I say.
We all begin to help out with making dinner, but Duke does most of the work. Joey on the other hand, continues to raid the fridge no matter how many times we hit him over the head. Dinner is finally ready, but I don't see any sign of Yugi or Rebecca around.
"Guys, I'm going to look outside for Yugi and Rebecca." I say.
"Uh huh. Okay, yeah, whatever." Joey says as he stares at the food in the frying pan.
I open the door and head outside. I can see two figures standing near the rubble of the house. As I near them, I can hear Yugi and Rebecca's voices, "They left this behind when they took my Grandpa." Rebecca says handing Yugi something.
"It says that he's waiting in Death Valley. Where's Death Valley?" Yugi says.
"It's about an hour in that direction." She points.
"Alright, I'm going alone."
"But-"
"No, I've put you guys into too much trouble already. Don't tell the others about this alright?"
"A-alright."
"Thanks Rebecca."
Yugi's seriously going to face one of those guys? Does he realize the price he's going to pay if he loses? I decide to act like I didn't hear or see anything, "Yugi? Rebecca? Are you out here?" I yell.
"Yeah, we're up here Sabrina!" Yugi says.
"Oh good," I say walking up to them, "Dinner's ready. We should head back inside."
"Okay. Thanks."
The three of us walk back inside to find that Joey is already finished with his plate, even though no one else has eaten yet. We sit down at the table and begin eating. Joey keeps looking over at everyone's plates like he wants more, but we don't have enough for seconds.
After dinner, we put our plates into the sink and head to bed. The trailer only has one bed, but we don't use it in order to keep things fair and to avoid any arguing. I sleep on the floor while everyone else sleeps in the chairs and Tea sleeps on the couch.
I fall asleep for a little while until a rustling wake me up. I open my eyes to find Yugi putting on his Duel Disk. Is he really going to go through with this? I watch him, but make no move to stop him. I won't be able to stop him, but maybe I can follow him and try to save him. He opens up the door and walks outside and closes the door. I throw off my blanket and begin to put my shoes on. I grab my Duel Disk and head to the door quietly.
I open the door and shut it behind me. I watch as Yugi rides off on Rebecca's horse toward Death Valley. I run after him, but I know that I won't go very fast on foot. After walking for about forty minutes, I decide to take a break. I stop to catch my breath, when I can see a cloud of dust heading toward me.
That's not a dust storm though. As it grows closer I can get a better picture of what it is; a motorcycle. I realize that there's no point in running from it. The motorcycle grows closer and it eventually stops a few feet away from where I'm standing.
"What do you want?" I ask the biker.
"I've come to duel you, what else?" he says.
Haha, cliffhanger. And whenever I see Kaiba's Blue-Eyes Jet, I think more about how badly I want to own it. I mean, come on, that thing is totally BOSS.
