Three weeks Later: Location: Unknown Regions: Leud: Domino City: Kame Games:
Solomon Muto was looking through the new section of the newspaper for any new arrivals at the museum when the door opened with a thud. Immediately he looked up to see a panting and tired Mai Valentine. "
Where is Yugi and Tea?" She asked breathlessly as Solomon Muto ran to her just as Tea came down the stairs.
"Mai"
"Tea," Mai yelled as she ran over to the woman with her hands gripping her forelimbs. "Mai, what's wrong?" Tea asked with her hands on Mai's shoulder in shock. She hadn't seen Mai act like this.
"Tea, I just learned. Is it true? Has Yugi really gone missing?" Immediately Solomon Muto closed and locked the door while Tea's eyes went wide.
"Who told you that?!" Tea half yelled as Mai chuckled a little, but mostly wiped her eyes.
"For the record, it wasn't Joey or the others. I haven't seen them. I immediately came here to see if what Sakoria said was true."
"Who" Solomon Muto asked as Mai sighed,
"She's someone from the GZ Company. You know the big one that has partnered with both Kaibacorp and Industrial Illusions," At that both Tea and Solomon Muto nodded.
"Alright, it is true sadly,"
"Hey, chin up. I'm going to help…no matter what you say," Mai finished when she saw the looks Tea and Grandpa Muto were giving her.
"How" Tea asked as Mai smiled,
"By watching out for the only one that can find him. Now, where is this daughter of yours," Mai said with an undertone of mischief in her voice as Tea blushed but then paled
"They even now about her?" She asked as Mai laughed,
"I think they know everyone and everything, Tea, but still where is she?" Mai asked a little in worry. Tea sighed since she knew that Mai was honest and was worried about Yugi, her and their daughter.
"Alright, she already left to take the entrance exam and why do you care?" Tea asked as Mai sighed.
"Alright, alright, I deserved that, I know. I know I haven't earned any respect or trust after what I did. I know I hurt you, Joey, Yugi and the others. I wasn't here like I should have been for you guys back then, I wasn't there to save Yugi if I could, so I will not allow another chance to redeem…no," Mai shook her head. "I will not let myself lose another chance to help, especially if I can help save Yugi as well," Mai said as she stood up and crossed her arms as Tea looked at her.
"Alright, but you know that she has asked her family not to look for her while she is there."
"Good thing I'm not family then," Mai said with a smirk as Tea sighed. "Thank you,"
"Don't mention it, Tea and keep that chin up. If Jaden is anything like her father, she'll find him and bring him back," Mai said as she then left heading to the Kaiba Dome.
End Flashback:
"So you are here," A voice that Mai recognized as she turned to see Sakoria standing there next to her with her eyes on Jaden,
"Yes, did you honestly expect any different?" She asked.
"No, but I do have a transport for you to Duel Academy and a camper for yourself. I have been able to get access to Duel Academy main computer and a full map." Sakoria said. "And now I'm thinking you were honest about that stuff about being from outer space," Mai said sadly.
"You're taking it better than most would, Miss. Valentine."
"I'm not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing," Mai said as Sakoria chuckled.
"Regardless we have a system of drones now watching the island for any sign of trouble or of Yugi. Nothing has shown up yet, but this abandon dorm of theirs has the Emperor worried." Sakoria said as the two began to walk towards the port.
"The ship you have is fast and built mostly for speed than anything else, but can support three people easily. It should get you to Duel Academy before the students and the camper is waiting for you there." Sakoria said as Mai boarded the ship as she smiled at the color and design.
"I just wished I could do more, but I have my own problems to deal with." She said.
"You have done more than enough. Good luck,"
"And you too," May the force be with us,
