Timeline: Season 3 of Buffy and Pre-season 1 of Yu-Gi-Oh.
Five thousand years ago in Ancient Egypt the Ancient Pharaohs and Sorcerers played a game of untold power, the Shadow Games threatened the world until a nameless pharaoh stepped and sealed the dark magic in the magical millennium items and for five thousand years the magic was sealed, but the desert hides nothing.
In Sunnydale a young boy was given a gift from his travelling Uncle; the Millennium Puzzle and for the boy the puzzle was a game for him to play with.
Andrew looked at his uncle's gift, the golden box and his uncle smiled and said, "I convinced a friend of mine to give it to me but I traded it for a few artifacts of mine, this is a puzzle and it's all for you little guy."
"Thank you Uncle," Andrew gushed, happy to get something that looked so cool, he hugged the box and ran off to try to solve it.
Andrew's mother frowned and said, "That's a little extravagant for Andrew isn't it? I mean an ancient puzzle to solve? Well, I guess it'll keep him out of our hair for a little while."
His Uncle frowned and said, "He's smart and besides, Andrew," he yelled, "The puzzle will supposedly grant you a wish," Andrew's excited squeal made him smile, Andrew was easy to please.
In his room as Andrew looked at the puzzle pieces and said, "Okay, fun."
As the evening progressed Andrew looked over the puzzle pieces, they were made of some sort of metal he guessed but it was hard and he was super good at puzzles but he was slowly getting it, he wondered vaguely what kind of wish he'd have granted, he could think of several things like a working X-wing fighter or a TIE fighter or, he thought, maybe a friend or a change in his life.
During the two months Andrew sat solving the puzzle by himself Jonathon was hanging out with the new girl, at least she was the new girl to him as she had been here for a year but Jonathon had gotten involved with her a few months ago.
As he worked on the puzzle he felt a hand guiding him to the right pieces, he would write down what pieces fit together and how.
One night, three months after his uncle had left, Andrew looked at the nearly complete puzzle and put the last piece in.
"Alright," Andrew said as he put the eye in and said, "Cool!"
The puzzle was now complete, something that hadn't been thought possible.
Andrew smiled and thought, 'Maybe I'll wish for some friends or something like that.'
Andrew suddenly jumped as the Puzzle began to glow brightly and creatures from the cards that his Uncle had got him because he liked the game, though there was only a few people who played it but the creatures had come out of the cards and looked at him angrily.
One of the creatures bit him and Andrew clutched his hand in shock when the puzzle suddenly glowed brightly and Andrew stood up, his eyes were full of a confidence and in a voice of command he yelled, "Creatures of shadow, be gone from this place."
The creatures disappeared and Andrew blinked, "What just happened?" He suddenly realized that his necklace protected him, "Oh yeah!" Andrew yelled excitedly, "It's magical, isn't it?"
He settled into his room, unaware of the presence that settled in his mind and decided that he'd watch his host now. The presence smiled inwardly, he liked his host's mind.
