With enemies like this who needs friends?

Atem wasn't helpless. Not in the least. He was an extremely skilled fighter with both hand to hand and with any weapon you gave him, but this...this was a little beyond his purview. From the initial look of it, Domino looked unchanged. In...however long he had been gone. Dead. In the afterlife. But it took very little time to realize things had changed drastically, that buildings were abandoned, windows blown out. The streets were empty. Strange robots patrolled the streets and skies. No...Domino was very much changed indeed. Perhaps that's why he had been returned. His first thought had been of course Yugi. But the Game Shop was almost completely destroyed. Was he targeted by whoever had taken over the city? Atem had no idea. The few people he had encountered were outside of city limits and they spoke of a safe house in hushed tones. Perhaps that's where Yugi was then... That's how Atem found himself traipsing through the damn woods outside of the town trying to find that which didn't wish to be found. Atem wasn't helpless but he certainly had no idea how to survive in the wild. His father was preparing him to be attacked. Self preservation outside of the palace was never one of his concerns. He was checking his dwindling water supply for the third time when he heard a noise. Atem paused. Most of the people he had met thus far seemed kind enough, but that didn't mean their weren't people who were less than kind. His hand reached for the dagger he had acquired earlier and he slipped behind a tree to hide.
