Hey everyone! I'm back! Sorry it took so long to start updating this story again, but it lost in the polls to War Between Gangs, so I had to finish that one first. I'm going to explain how the posting schedule is going to work.

Anyway, here's the chapter!

Disclaimer: If YuGiOh GX was mine, I wouldn't be writing this little thing we love to call fanfiction, now would I? Therefore, I do not own YuGiOh GX.

Claimer: Anything and anyone who ISN'T in the anime YuGiOh GX or just plain YuGiOh is mine. Get it? Got it? Good.

Jaden's POV

Jesse you idiot!

I ran to the edge of the cliff and looked down in the water.

"What the hell does he think he's doing?" Jim yelled as he ran to stand next to me. The gang soon filled in the spot around us.

"That idiot!" Chazz yelled. I bit my tongue to keep from agreeing with him.

"Where is he?" Syrus asked as he looked frantically over the water. Suddenly, in the middle of the water, Jesse's head popped out.

"There!" I exclaimed. I pointed to Jesse. Everyone looked. Jesse didn't even look at us as he began to swim toward Mel.

"Well, at least his idiocy had a good purpose," Mark said. I sighed and nodded.

Jesse's POV

Okay, maybe jumping off the cliff into the ocean wasn't one of my most brilliant ideas but it was the only thing I could think of!

"Mel!" I yelled then coughed as water flooded into my mouth. I swam against the water toward Mel. She was still swimming away from what ever that creature of darkness was. "Mel! Wait!" I yelled again, regretting it instantly as salt water flooded into my mouth.

I grabbed Mel's arm once it was within my reach. She screamed and tried, uselessly, to pull her arm away.

"Mel, relax, it's just me," I assured her. Mel stopped trying to pull away and turned to look at me.

"Jesse?" Mel questioned weakly. Her voice was hoarse and weak. I nodded and pulled her to my side, pulling the arm I was holding over my shoulder. I wrapped my other hand around her waist to help support her. Her head fell limply on my shoulder.

"JESSE!" Jaden yelled. I turned back to the cliff and looked up at the gang. Jaden was standing on the very edge of the cliff with his hands cupped around his mouth. Jim and Axel stood on his sides with their hands up and waiting to catch him he began to fall.

"WE'LL MEET YOU GUYS AT THE BEACH!" Jaden yelled. I nodded and then realized that Jaden couldn't see me nod.

"ALRIGHT!" I yelled back. Jaden nodded and turned to the gang. He appeared to say something and then they were running down the hill toward the beach. I began to swim in the direction of the beach. I took deep breaths.

"Mel, can you hear me?" I asked softly. Mel whimpered; she could hear me…and she was in pain. I clenched my teeth together and pushed harder against the water. "Mel, if you can, kick your legs and help me," I asked. Mel just whimpered again and shook her head softly. I sighed. "Okay, just hang on then."

The roar of the creature of darkness rang through the air again. Mel gasped and shot her head up. She looked around frantically; her eyes vivid with fear.

"Where is it? Where did it go?" Mel asked frantically. I stopped and placed my hand on her cheek softly.

"Mel, relax," I said in a soothing voice. She looked back at me.

"Where did it go!" She demanded. I looked around.

"I don't know," I said. Mel groaned in pain and her head dropped back to my shoulder; her breathing was weak. "Mel? Mel can you hear me?" Mel didn't say or do anything. I began to swim harder and faster in the direction of the beach.

Suddenly, something brushed against my foot. I froze and looked down. Then something grabbed my ankle harshly and yanked both Mel and I under the water. I gasped as water surrounded me. Whatever had my ankle pulled us deeper into the water.

Jaden's POV

"Are you sure they can get to the beach?" Adrian asked. I looked at him.

"Of course I'm sure, why wouldn't they be able to?" I asked. We rounded the corner of the cliff and ran toward the beach.

"Well, Mel seemed like she was really tired and I don't think she'll be helping them get back to the beach," Adrian said. Axel looked at him.

"Adrian, Jesse obviously has a lot of adrenaline running through his veins," Axel said. Jim nodded his head in agreement.

"Yeah Mate, he jumped off a cliff for goodness sakes!" Jim exclaimed. Adrian kept his mouth shut. We reached the entrance to the beach. There was a large arch in front of the entrance. Standing in front of the entrance was two large, muscular men in black suits wearing black sunglasses. We slowed to a walk as we approached them. The music from the dance flowing out toward us.

"Who wears sunglasses at night?" I asked Alexis. Alexis shrugged. We stood in front of the men. Mark was getting ready to walk past them when on of the men held out his hand to stop him.

"Ticket," he said. Mark glared up at him.

"I don't have a ticket," Mark said in a dangerous tone. The man seemed unfazed by the tone and kept his hand in place.

"Then I'm afraid I can not allow you to enter the dance," the man said.

"No ticket, no entry," the other man said. Mark snapped his teeth together and grabbed the man's hand, the one that first stopped him. He flipped the man over his shoulder and then quickly jumped up and punched the other man in the face. Both men fell to the ground unconscious. Mark stormed into the dance with his hands clenched into fists at his side. Michael followed after him quickly.

We stared down at the now unconscious men.

"Protective brotherly instincts," Bastion said, "Very terrifying." We nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, no shit," Chazz said. I shook my head and began to walk past the unconscious men.

"Come on, let's get going," I called to everyone. The quickly ran to my side and we found Mark and Michael heading toward the ocean. Mindy and Jasmine ran over to us.

"I thought you guys said you were skipping out on the dance," Mindy said, her strapless light blue dress with a ruffled skirt bouncing off her shins as she ran over to us. Alexis stopped to look at her.

"We are," Alexis answered.

"Doesn't look like you are," Jasmine said. Her halter black dress that stopped just above the knees almost made her blend into the night.

"Well, we're here to get Mel and Jesse," Alexis answered. Mindy and Jasmine looked at each other, and then at Alexis.

"They came to the dance together?" Mindy asked, sounding only slightly shocked. Alexis shook her head.

"No," Alexis answered. Jasmine pursed her lips together.

"Then what are you talking about?" Jasmine demanded. Alexis sighed and began to walk after us. Mindy and Jasmine followed at her side.

"Okay, apparently there is this thing that was chasing Mel. It chased her all the way to the cliff and then they somehow fell off and into the ocean. Jesse jumped off the cliff to get Mel and now they're swimming over here," Alexis explained. Mindy and Jasmine blinked and then looked at Alexis.

"You're kidding me," Mindy said. Alexis shook her head.

"Nope, it's one hundred percent true," Alexis answered.

"And how do you know all of this?" Jasmine asked. Alexis pointed to Marron, who was staring out at the ocean.

"Marron here explained the first part to us, we saw Jesse jump off the cliff," Alexis answered. Mindy and Jasmine snorted.

"Oh, sure, because we all know dogs can talk," Mindy said. Marron looked at her.

"I'm more than just a common earth mutt," Marron answered, sounding both vicious and insulted. Mindy and Jasmine screamed and jumped back away from Marron. Alexis sighed.

"Where are they?" Mark demanded as he tapped his foot on the beach impatiently. I placed my hand over my eyes to look out on the ocean.

"I don't know, I can't see them," I said. Mark growled and Marron began running around in a circle.

"Oh no! What if it got them?" Marron kept asking. Then he stopped running and shook his head. "No, I can't think like that, of course they're okay," Marron said. I rolled my eyes and kept looking.

Suddenly, Jesse's head jumped out of the water. He gasped and was coughing up water. Mel hung limply on his side; her eyes were closed but she was coughing up water, I suppose that's a good sign.

"Mel!" Mark yelled. He ran out in the ocean and I followed him. Mark took Mel from Jesse and held her bridal-style. I pulled Jesse's arm over my shoulder and placed my hand on his hip to help him walk. We worked our way toward the beach.

The music of the dance cut out and Miss Fontaine and Chancellor Sheppard ran over to us.

"Oh my goodness!" Miss Fontaine exclaimed. "What happened here?" She asked. Mark and I stood next to each other on the beach. Miss Fontaine quickly ran over to us and checked over Mel. She looked at Mark.

"Get her to the infirmary right away, I'll meet you there," Miss Fontaine said. Mark nodded and began to run in the direction of the infirmary. Michael and Marron followed him. Miss Fontaine looked at me and Jesse. "Take Jesse to the infirmary too, Jaden." I nodded and began to tow Jesse in the direction of the infirmary.

"Okay, the dance is over ladies and gentlemen. Please return to your dorms immediately," I heard Chancellor Sheppard call. The crowd groaned but obeyed. I looked over at Jesse. His eyes were very red and irritated.

"What was that thing?" I asked him in a low voice so no one around us could hear what I was saying. Jesse shook his head.

"I don't know," he looked at me, "But it defiantly wasn't human."
