====================
Alexis POV

I sat in class, thinking on everything that I learnt from Jaden. I was still in shock of the fact that he was indeed from the future, and that he had amazing abilities that allowed him to summon Duel Monsters without using them in a duel. Plus, I found out that he was fiercely protective of his friends—after all, he and the Supreme King saved me from Titan, even risking himself getting expelled from the Academy in the process.

I saw him sitting on the bottom rows of the class, Syrus sitting next to him as usual. Today was suppose to be Crowlers lesson where he would teach us some new duelling tactics. But for some confusing reason, he hasn't turned up yet. I looked at the clock and saw that it was little over nine o'clock, which was unusual for Crowler. He never turned up late, so I was wondering if something had come up. And by the look on his face, Jaden was thinking the same.

Just then, Professor Banner had to come in and take over the lesson. He said that due to confusing matters, he would teach us in Crowlers place, which was alright with us but did confuse a lot of the students.

Jaden looked on with a look of interest and confusion as well, but mostly there was alarm in his eyes. Something was off—that I could tell. And I learned very quickly that it was rare for Jaden to be alarmed about anything.

It was at the end of the lesson that Jaden came up to me, without making eye contact. He whispered very quickly and seriously, "Get your Duel Disk and deck ready, and meet me just outside the lighthouse. Make sure no one follows you," and he just vanished into the sea of Slifer Red students, before I could ask why.

If Jaden was being that discreet on the whole subject, then it must be serious. So, I quickly nodded to myself and rushed off towards the Obelisk Girls Dorm, hoping to find Jaden at the Lighthouse.

Syrus POV

"Jaden, why are you in such a rush?" I asked, watching as Jaden started getting his Duel Disk ready and placing his deck inside the deck case on his belt.

"Syrus, I'd really like to stay and chat, but I don't have time right now," he said quickly, grabbing a couple of flashlights and attaching them to his belt as well.

"Jaden, you're really starting to worry me," I said with a whimper. "Just tell me what's going on."

He stopped and looked at me. He looked agitated; a sight that I hardly saw on him in all the time I knew him. It took a few second, but he eventually sighed and began to talk. "I have an idea on where Crowler might be, but it's complicated and—no to mention—extremely dangerous."

"Where is he?" I asked. "If you know where he is, then you need to tell the Chancellor immediately."

"I can't," Jaden stressed. "If the Chancellor were to find out where Crowler was, and decided to send someone to look for him, they would just end up the same way as Crowler."

Chumley at this moment had woken up. "Guys, what's with all the ruckus?" he mumbled, wiping the sleep out of his eyes.

"Jaden knows where Crowler might be," I answered.

"Where?" Chumley asked, sitting up.

Jaden stood there, one arm wrapped around his chest, the other covering his chin and mouth. He looked at me, and said three words. "The Abandoned Dorm."
