Jesse stood in his room in front of a full size mirror in the corner. He finished latching the remainder of the buckles on his jacket. He took a step back from the mirror to look at his reflection.

He was dressed in all black, with an exception of his jacket, which was a dark shade of purple. He was dressed in a tight muscle shirt and black cargo pants. He had on black combat boots, tightly secured into place on his feet. His jacket was sleeveless and tailed down to the middle of his shins. The jacket was unfastened at the thighs, mainly because it made Jesse fell confided to his jacket. That and once on a mission the tail of his jacket got caught on a branch when he was running and he had large bruises on his thighs.

On his biceps there was a fastened belt that matched the color of the jacket. This extenuated Jesse's well muscled arms. On each of Jesse's forearms he wore full arm protectors. Jesse wore a belt with many pouches.

Jesse sighed and ran his hand over his hip, as if something was missing there.

Last night, Jesse was sent to bed by Atem at around ten and Jesse didn't argue. He wasn't feeling well after everything Akaria told him. And this morning, he woke up with a pounding headache and was very nauseated. He threw up when he woke up and took some medicine, for his head ache and his stomach.

Why am I suddenly feeling like crap? Jesse wondered. He ran his hand over his forehead. He did feel warm and he thought his fever rose about another degree. He already drank almost a gallon of water in the span of two hours. He scowled at his reflection. His face was flushed slightly; no one would notice.

Jesse folded his hand against his hip and ran his fingers through his sweat-dewed hair.

There was a knock on Jesse's door.

"Dude, are you coming or not?" Akaria asked from the other side of the door. Jesse sighed and turned his head to look at the door.

"I'm coming," Jesse yelled. He waited to here retreating footsteps but there was none. He sighed and grabbed the bag off of his bed; his duel disk and a few other mission essentials were in the bag. His deck rested securely in his deck box on his belt. Jesse headed toward the door and walked out, only to be greeted with an awaiting Akaria.

"You're worse than Justin in the bathroom in the morning," Akaria said, her voice carrying some teasing. Jesse smiled slightly.

"Sorry, I was having a tough time finding my mission clothes," Jesse lied, though Akaria wouldn't be able to tell. Even though they were trained to read through a person's body language, Jesse was still able to fool everyone. Akaria turned and headed down the hall. She was dressed the same as yesterday and was wearing a one strapped red back pack.

"Let's get going, we're late. The team is waiting in the woods," Akaria called over her shoulder. Jesse sighed and began following Akaria. They remained silent the rest of the way.

Everyone is by the spot where Jaden and Yubel disappeared only a few days ago. The kids, Jesse, and Akaria stood in the center of the clearing. In Akaria's hands she held the machine from last night. The gang was standing off to the side, by the path that led back to the academy. Pegasus and Atem stood about twenty feet away from the gang. They spoke in whispers. The team was loud enough for everyone in the clearing to hear.

"Wow, I can feel the residue without the device," Jesse said as he knelled down. He ran his hand over the ground. Goosebumps rose up on his arms. Emma nodded.

"It's very strong," She muttered. Emma, dressed the same as yesterday, had her arms wrapped securely around her frame. There was also Goosebumps on her arms. Keith and Justin looked at each other.

"The air in this area does feel more powerful than anywhere else," Keith said. Justin snorted.

"More powerful, psh, the air here is really dense, that's all," Justin said. Akaria smacked him on the back of his head without looking away from her machine. Justin glared at her.

"Knock it off Justin, we don't have time for this," Jesse said. He was still knelling on the ground with his hand resting in the center of the circle that the kids made. Justin mumbled some incoherent things. Justin looked back at Akaria.

"Do you have our babies?" Justin asked with a smirk on his face. The gang looked at him very confused. Jesse smacked his forehead. Keith sighed and Emma rolled her eyes. Akaria nodded. She slipped the device back into her pouch and dropped the large duffle back she had with her. She sat down her knees; her sword clanked lightly against the ground. Akaria unzipped the bag and opened it up. Akaria reaches inside bag and begins to pull out some swords.

The first is very large. It is in a brown sheath and encrusted with earth-colored gems. On the sheath, there was a dark snake. It circled its way around the entire sheath. She handed the sword to Justin, who took it eagerly from her.

The next sword Akaria pulled out of the bag was a much thinner than the previous. The sheath was a deep green and the handle of the sword was very thin. The sheath was encrusted with emeralds and diamonds and other green gems. On the sheath was a green wind bird. The tail feathers of the bird swirled at the bottom; emeralds rested within the swirls. She handed the sword to Emma. Emma looked at her as she took the sword. She looked as if she was talking with her eyes.

The next sword pulled out of the bag was a simple sword. The sheath was dark blue and encrusted with sapphires, diamonds, and other blue colored gems. On the sheath was a creature that looked like a cross between a dinosaur and a whale. It looked calm and collected. Akaria handed the sword to Keith, who took it without a flicker of his eyes in her direction.

Akaria pulled out one last sword. This one was a very dark sheath, almost black. The sheath was encrusted with rubies, sapphires, emeralds, cobalt, topaz, amethyst, and amber gems. Also the like the other sheaths, a creature was depicted on the sheath. This time it was a white dragon. It had the gems encrusted on it. The sheath, unlike the others, curved slightly. Akaria handed the sword to Jesse. He took it and stood up. All of them tied the swords to their hips.

Jesse ran his hand over this sword, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips.

"I feel complete!" Justin exclaimed. Akaria rolled her eyes and zipped back up the bag. She picked back up the bag. Jesse raised his eyebrows at her but said nothing.

"You all have swords!" Syrus exclaimed in shock. The kids looked at him.

"Of course, you act as if it is a big deal," Emma said.

"Because it is!" Syrus yelled. Justin chuckled and unsheathed his sword. The metal was dark, almost brown, and the handle was dark as well. Justin pointed the tip of the blade at Syrus, amusement in his eyes.

"Oh and why is it a big deal?" Justin asked. Syrus gulped and stepped away from the sword. Justin took a step forward. "I myself couldn't live without my Avalanche Saber."

"Your sword-" Aster began but Justin cut him off.

"Saber," Justin corrected. Aster narrowed his eyes at him.

"Same thing," Aster said. Justin shook his head.

"Keith has the sword, Tsunami Sword to be accurate," Justin said. Keith sighed but otherwise ignored the comment. Jesse walked over to Justin and grabbed his saber.

"Knock it off Justin, you're scaring them," Jesse scolded him. Jesse's voice was harsh but still commanded.

"I was just kidding, I just wanted to show them my saber," Justin muttered as he slid his saber back into its sheath. The kids rolled their eyes.

"Jesse, we want to help you guys save serge," Hassleberry said. Jesse shook his head.

"No way, it's too dangerous for you guys," Jesse insisted. Alexis looked at him.

"Dangerous for us but not for you!" Alexis yelled. Jesse sighed. Akaria walked forward.

"We're trained for this Alexis, you're not," Akaria said. The gang glared at her. Jesse was about to say something when someone else spoke up.

"Jesse, Akaria, come here please," Atem called to them. They looked at each other, shrugged, and then walked over to Atem. They stood out of ear shot of everyone, murmuring quietly to each other.

"I think you should let them help," Atem muttered. Akaria and Jesse looked shocked.

"You've got to be kidding me!" Akaria exclaimed in a whisper, if possible.

"I agree with Akaria, you can't be serious," Jesse agreed. Atem sighed.

"They could help a lot," Atem insisted.

"Or be a big pain," Akaria counted. Atem narrowed his eyes at her.

"You should watch yourself Akaria. You know I don't like this plan," Atem warned. Akaria pressed her lips into a tight line. Jesse looked between them in confusion.

"How could they help?" Jesse questioned. Atem sighed.

"They're duel monsters," Atem said. Jesse and Akaria looked at each other. They nodded to Atem and then spun around. They walked over to the gang.

"Alright, you guys can come," Akaria said her voice lack of excitement. The gang brightened up.

"But, you guys have to bring your duel disks and decks," Jesse said. The gang nodded.

"Go get them," Akaria said. The gang nodded once again. They spun on their heels and bolted down the path toward the academy.
