Joey wrapped his arms around Serena when she buried her face in his shoulder. "No...No he didn't." He looked to Tristen giving him a knowing look. A look of loss. "He was worried and wanted us to help so he could hold things off at the portal," Joey explained as his dragon lowered his head and rubbed lightly against Serena's back, having huffed and yowled in worry. "She's fine Red-Eyes. Just a little shaken is all. Come on. We gotta go catch up." He encouraged Serena. 

Yami looked to his partner and listened to his words. He should know better and yet here he was, worried about things that they would make sure wouldn't be repeated. Upon landing, Mahad gently lowered his friend as Seto jumped off Blue-Eyes. They looked at the portal and Yami looked back in the direction of his friends, waiting for them to show up. Zero then spoke up. "So what do we do when we get here? Go inside and flick a switch or something?" Yami shook his head. "Last time it took the help of the gods to close this portal. It would seem that is who we might need to do so again with the help of Malik and Ishizu." He pressed the earpiece at his ear then. "Adam. How is everything there? We are at the portal as we speak."
