Yu-Gi-Oh! Patterns CH 42: Wrecked Flight

After about an hour of traveling by jet to Kaiba corporations, Joey began to start getting really bored. Tristen was listening to music on his phone, Bakura was looking out the window, Tea was humming to herself, and Joey was bored out of his mind.

"How long until we get to Kaiba Corporations?" Asked Joey to Tristen, who took one of his ear buds out rather quickly.

"Huh? Oh, Joey I'm not sure. I believe it's only been an hour, so we'll have to wait another hour and 45 minutes or something."

"Ah man, for real? Come on, we've all been waitin for a long time, why can't we just go faster?"

Tristen shrugged his shoulders in response, then positively said,

"Don't worry Joey, we'll get there when we get there."

In the pilot's control room Yami was entirely focused on controlling the jet, not looking away even for a split second. Sababah was also concentrated on the controls, but felt a strange disturbance, a thought crossed his mind. He decided to ask Yami how he was feeling. Sababah cleared his throat and said while still focusing on the controls.

"Excuse me Yami, ah, Pharaoh...how are you feeling?"

Yami glanced at him, noticing the worry on his face.

"Well, I'm okay, just focused. You can just call me Yami, although I am pharaoh as of now, due to Yugi not wanting the throne anymore. I have confidence that Yugi will be okay and that we'll save him in time. You always told me to trust in God, so, why are you so worried?"

Sababah blinked and thought on it.

"I...I'm worried for you Yami. I can't bear seeing you sad or angry or depress-"

"But I'm not sad or angry or depressed, am I? I'm glad that you care, Sababah. My friends can only say so many kind words to me, but I'm happy to have you as a friend as well."

A wide smile appeared on Sababah's face, feeling his spirits lifted high, until he glanced down at the screen which shows what's following or coming towards the jet. His eyes widened when he saw two missiles, about 5,000 feet away, heading straight for them.

"Yami, look!"

Yami immediately turned his head set on and said to the others

"Everyone, this is an emergency. Please be buckled down to your seats and remain calm, there are two missiles coming straight toward us."

Hearing that snapped everyone into action, making sure their seat belts were on, and they quickly put away their things.

"Missiles are headed towards us!? No way! We're gonna die!" shouted Joey to the others.

"We're not gonna die Joey, Yami will fix it!" replied Tea quickly while double checking her seat belt.

They all screamed when the jet twirled a full 360 degrees to avoid the missiles. Because of that, when the missiles passed the jet they collided with each other and exploded. Yami and Sababah were struggling to keep the jet in balance from the explosion behind them; the jet was wobbly and hard to control. Sababah quickly found the coordinates of the missiles and pin pointed where they were coming from.

"Yami, the missiles are being launched from the United States in Domino City!" He shouted over the loud explosion behind their jet.

Yami gritted his teeth while saying

"It's Seto Kaiba! He's either trying to stop us from saving Yugi..." He stop in the middle of his sentence to turn the jet at its side, barely missing another two missiles. The others in the passenger area were screaming when they heard another explosion, only this time the explosion barely almost hit the back of the jet.

"...or he's trying to kill us all!" shouted Yami over the booming explosion.

"Yami, do you want me to shoot him back-"

"Don't shoot him, shoot the missiles as soon as possible! We don't want them to hit the jet!" Sababah immediately pressed a button, which allowed for their lock on target missiles to be ready to fire.

"Sababah, fire the missiles at my command, understand?"

"Yes sir!"  

Tea was holding Bakura's hands, squeezing it tightly in fear. Bakura kept his eyes closed, not wanting to see his death. Joey covered his ears and also kept his eyes tightly shut. Tristen bit his lip and was hugging himself tightly. Just then the jet shifted down to avoid an explosion above them. The debris from the explosion fell in the Atlantic water, since they were flying from the Atlantic Ocean to the United States.

Sababah was prepared for Yami's first command as they both saw four more missiles heading toward them at top speed.

"Ready...aim...." Shouted Yami, waiting for just the right moment to fire the missiles back at the missiles towards them.

"....fire!"

Sababah pressed the button the instant Yami commanded him, and four missiles collided with the ones aimed for them. The jet shifted back up high in the air, the explosion behind causing a huge wave to come up from the crystal waters. Once they were back in the air, Yami managed to be in full control of the jet again.

"Alright Sababah, I think those are all the missiles. We can slow down the jet-"

"No Yami, look at the radar!"

Yami was shocked to see a total of 10 missiles heading for them, 3,000 feet away.

The others were scared half to death, Joey was hyper ventilating, but Tea had courage and took her seat belt off. She shouted to them

"Guys, take your seat belts off and hold hands! Don't let go and hold on tight, I have a feeling this jet won't last much longer!"

They immediately got up and were holding hands, forming a circle, not letting go.

"Please, I don't wanna die!" Shouted Joey in agony.

"We're not going to die Joey! We have to have hope!"

Yami was struggling to find the right time to launch their missiles, but he noticed that the missiles were headed toward them were coming faster and faster.

"Ready..."

Sababah readied the missiles...

"...aim..."

...He aimed the missiles straight toward the ones coming to the jet...

"FIRE!!!" Shouted Yami, ready to see them fire off.  

The moment they could see the missiles heading towards the ones coming to them, they both sprinted out and busted open the door, running to their friends....but they were too late.

The deafening explosion of 20 missiles colliding with each other busted the jet in two, with Tea, Tristen, Bakura and Joey clenching each other's hands to stay together as they fell out of the exploded jet.

Screaming at the top of their lungs, they were falling, still holding hands to form a circle so that they could fall not as harshly and fast.

Yami was knocked out being held by Sababah as they both fell out of the jet, endlessly falling. Sababah did not want to see his friends die and knew that God would make a miracle happen.

Sababah then forced himself to stop falling, and he was floating in the air, still holding Yami. He saw the others were still all together, but Joey was losing his grip.

In an instant, Sababah was flying at top speed to them, and woke up Yami by yelling

"Yami- we're falling!"

Yami opened his eyes in shock, as his body recognized he was in the sky, not in the jet. He saw the others and yelled to them

"Tristen, Joey, give me your hands!" Yami was reaching out to them; Tristen managed to grab Yami's left hand, but Joey failed to and his grip slipped.


Joey was falling by himself to the surface of the ocean.
