[PINpoint message:to:April Kent:VOICE] Take Back the Night begins

April! It's Yugi! We've got a problem. Some of our guys—Corey, Tobias, Tanya, and their Oracles and Guardian—have gone missing. Their families found them gone from their beds this morning, and we—

[Yugi's voice cuts off as Kat's voice interrupts, screaming, "GUYS!" at the top of her lungs.]

Oh SHI—

[Static, then silence.]

[PINpoint message:to:April Kent:VOICE] Take Back the Night: Egypt

[More static; Yugi's breathing fast and hard, but seems to be making an effort to stay calm.]

April. We got sucked through some kind of portal. Now we're in a desert. [Under his breath] Damn, I forgot how hot these places can be. [Normal volume.] Uh, trying to figure out where we are. Yami says it feels familiar, but can't place why.

Our Oracles are here, but our Guardians are AWOL. Even worse, Kat got dragged along for the ride. I don't want her to get caught in the cross-fire again.

We tried getting into the Nexus, but couldn't get through. We're cut off. I think something's after us, maybe in revenge for New Year's.

[Bakura's voice calls faintly in the background: "Yugi-kun!".]

[Yugi sighs.] I gotta go. I don't even know if you're receiving this. If you are... find a way to let me know.

[PINpoint message:to:April Kent:TEXT] Take Back the Night: Japan & Dxun

Okay. Sorceress in Japan taken care of. Downside: new portal, new destination.

We're on Dxun. It's a jungle planet in Luke's home galaxy. ...You have seen Star Wars, right? Anyway, given that, it's likely we're up against a Dark Jedi.

(Actually, Dxun's a moon, but that's not important right now.)

Our Guardians finally showed up and explained what's going on, or at least, as much as they know about it. We definitely pissed someone off at New Year's, so that someone set a bunch of traps for us, each with a sorceress in it trying to kill us. We don't know who that someone is, but apparently, there are a total of 9 'traps', including the ones we've already gotten through.

So, six more to go, then.

Kat's also been made a Saviour. Apparently she was supposed to be right from the start, but Bakura ended up choosing me to replace him instead of her. I imagine the PTBs are a little annoyed at him for that, but they got around it. So, we got three newcomers to fill out Kat's team and one of my Guardians got moved over to her team.

The sorceress/Dark Jedi here is apparently content to wait on the defense instead of coming to us, so we spent the last several hours scouring the jungle for her. We're camped out now and most everyone else is trying to get some sleep. Our newcomers are still awake, and I can't sleep for the life of me; too anxious about the current situation.

Text me back when you get this. - Yugi

[Something is still trying to jam Yugi's PINpoint, but for now it only seems to be blocking out his ability to get into the Nexus and parts of any peripheral data transmitted with the message.]
