On an empty dark field Johan, was laying down in peace, completely unaware of his surroundings. A cold blast of air blew on his body, making him twitch, and open his eyes.

"Wha..?" He stared in fear as a chill ran through his spine. Not wanting to be exposed, he on his feet. Then a strange feeling came over him. He could remember this place vaguely, but why he asked himself, could he remember this of all places and hardly anything else?

"Is anybody there?" It was a plea of help, but he could hear nothing except his echoes traveling further away from him. Walking toward a random direction, he pondered whether or not he could make it out.

Suddenly a rush of black water overcame him. Sucking him in, Johan took a mouthful of the nasty water in surprise. The water dragged him further and further down until all he could see was the pitch-black darkness. As a final attempt, he closed his eyes and let out a silent scream. Even though it was noiseless, he could hear himself for what seemed like forever.

Johan opened his eyes after he could no longer hear the scream, and discovered he was in his bed. Actually it was the top bunk bed in Judai's room that Judai allowed him to borrow. His whole body was sweaty from the experience, and it took a few deep breaths to calm him. Somebody else was shifting around, and Johan sat up to figure it out.

Judai was sitting on the floor cross-legged, and eating cereal. He noticed Johan and smiled at him.

"Good morning Johan."

"Good morning..um." Johan couldn't remember Judai's name, he had a problem remembering anything at all.

"Its Judai." Judai corrected him without hesitation.

"Right, Judai." Johan nervously laughed.

"Come down here and have breakfast with me."

"Ok." Johan climbed down the ladder and sat in front of Judai. Judai handed him a bowl that was already filled with cornflakes mixed with milk and a spoon.

"Thank you." Johan took the bowl and swilled the brown flakes with his silver spoon. After eating a few spoonfuls, he noticed a presence in the room, but couldn't place what it was.

"Rubii." Ruby Carbuncle appeared on Johan's shoulder.

"Eh?"

Judai pointed his finger at Ruby. "It Ruby Carbuncle, one of your monsters."

"Its cute." Ruby shook its tail in pleasure and agreement. It jumped off Johan's shoulder and steped under Judai's bed. It scurried under the bed and Winged Kuriboh popped out from under there and floated near Judai. Ruby soon followed suit and began playing with Winged Kuriboh.

"What is that other monster?"

"Its Winged Kuriboh, my duel spirit."

"Its cute too, but not as cute as Ruby!"

Ruby looking enthralled crawled up to Johan and gave him a small kiss on the cheek before disappearing along with Winged Kuriboh. Johan and Judai just smiled at each other.

"Hey, you remembered!" Judai realized.

"Huh?"

"Your nickname for Ruby Carbuncle was Ruby."

"It was." Both of them smiled again.

Later in the day, Judai left for his classes, so Johan was left to his own devices to pass time. He first looked through his deck and as he lifted up each monster card, a Gem Beast would appear around him.

"Hello Johan, I am Amber Mammoth." Johan stared at it with awe.

"Your so big…"

"Yes, I am second largest Gem Beasts."

Johan scratched his head in confusion. "There is a Gem Beast bigger than you?"

Amber Mammoth pointed its trunk at the deck, which was in two stacks on the desk table. One was face up cards in a messy pile; the other was a single card facedown that Johan had yet to turn over. Flipping it over, Johan saw the Rainbow Dragon.

"Rainbow Dragon." He read off the card. "It's so pretty." Johan admired the rainbow colors that sparkled on the card. Looking around, he was surprised that a Duel Spirit didn't appear.

"The Rainbow Dragon has no Duel Spirit." Topaz Tiger explained.

"That's sad, why not?"

"It was created at a later time." Cobalt Eagle answered

"I see."

Sitting down on the desk chair, Johan noticed a piece of paper poking out of one of the drawers. Opening the drawer, he saw a photo of himself and Judai standing beside each other, doing a hand gesture with their two fingers sticking outwards. Picking it up, Johan studied it with fascination.

"Judai…"

"I remember that day." Amethyst Cat leaned near Johan. "You guys organized and played Duel Monsters all day, you were the happiest we had ever seen you."

"Were we best friends?" Johan questioned.

Amethyst Cat nodded her head.

"Heh, I wonder what his deck is like."

Johan put the photo away and picked up the Rainbow Dragon card at place it into the disorganized pile of cards. Gathering them up, Johan straighten the deck to a neat stack. Johan put the cards in a side pocket in his black pants.

One of the first classes of the day was an advanced dueling class taught to the seniors. As per usual, one of the teachers was lecturing on advanced duel techniques to the third year students. And as per usual, Judai wasn't giving any attention to him and dozing off. Sleeping away, he failed to notice somebody calling him.

"Judai." A voice whispered above him.

"Mmm?" Judai's eyes fluttered open.

"Judai."

Judai sat up looked around, but could not pinpoint the voice.

"Look around." The voice said in exasperation.

Turning his head toward the voice, Judai saw Asuka looking at him. "Asuka?"

"Judai, why don't you come down to the beach with everybody today?"

"Sorry, I can't… Johan still hasn't gained much of his memories back."

Asuka sighed. "You've been spending all your free time with him."

"I know, but he needs me now."

"I just wish that you would spend time with the rest of us."

"Judai! Pay attention!" The teacher yelled.

"Sorry…" Judai sank in his chair and tried to pay attention, but he quickly zoned out again.

Later in the day, Judai returned to his dorm after classes. He opened the door to his dorm and dumped his stuff beside the desk.

"I'm back!"

Johan got up from his bed that he had been resting on and climbed down the ladder to get near Judai.

"Hello." Johan responded in a nervous manner.

Judai could sense his demeanor. "What is the matter?"

"Umm." Johan scratched his neck in embarrassment. "Can I see your deck?"

"Sure." Judai reached into his pants side pocket and pulled out his deck. He handed to Johan.

"Here you go." Johan took it in a careful manner.

"Thank you."

Johan lifted up the first card from Judai's deck. The card was a demonic creature with sick purple skin and biochromatic eyes. The top of the card was the monster's name that read "Yubel".

As soon as Johan looked into Yubel's face, he saw a glint in the orange eye. Suddenly, his body erupted in pain. He straggled to the floor and moaned low with his hands on the ground.

"Johan!"
