Yu-Gi-Oh ZEXAL. 252 words. In which I write a quick stupid crossover and have no good excuse.

"This does not make sense," said Astral, once again surveying the landscape: a futile gesture, since nothing had changed in the past five miles. A single poorly-maintained road stretching as far as the eye could see, tangles of shrubbery and crooked brown trees, fields and fields and fields all the way to the horizon. They had come across a sign a few miles back, but it was written in an alphabet neither of them could read. "How could you simply wake up in a place like this, without knowing how you arrived here?"

"How should I know?" asked Yuma huffily. He was stomping more than walking, but knowing the limits of his endurance, Astral had a feeling he would tire of it soon enough.

"Perhaps an enemy--"

"Enough with the theories! Just stop talking already! All we have to do is follow this road until we find an airport, and then we're outta here!"

"An... airport?"

"You know, where planes fly in and out. Woosh! Like that."

"I see." Observation number forty-seven: planes fly in and out of airports like woosh. "But would it not be easier to simply find a phone and call for assistance?"

Yuma's face sunk even deeper into its scowl. "Hey, who's the expert here? Trust me, we'll definitely find an airport! I bet we're almost there!"

"But, Yuma--"

"Don't but Yuma me! I can feel the airport, it's practically around the corner!"

Six hours later, they were still on the same stretch of empty road.
