"GO! Harpie Lady, attack his Overdrive! Amazon Archer and Harpie Sister 2, finish the job!" As the car exploded into dust from the furious attack of the Harpie Lady, she could hear the crowd cheer. She had won the tournament. Not just any tournament, but the national tournament. She was recognized as the best duelist in Japan, but it was not satisfaction. She wanted to have a real challenge. She wanted to defeat duelists of higher caliber, such as Yugi Motou and Joey Wheeler. "The prize, the one-of-a-kind Limited Edition Blue Eyes White Dragon, will……….." The rest of the words were drowned out as the winner concentrated on her next victims. "I'll show you Joey, that I can be as good a duelist as you," she thought as she walked to her blue sports car.
It's been 3 days since the last tournament, and she was already working on putting the Blue Eyes into her deck. The 5th Blue Eyes, of only 5 in existence. Seto Kaiba had 3 of them, and the 4th was never to be used as it was treasured by Solomon. As she stared at the Blue Eyes card in her hand, she felt as though it was an old friend…. She shook her head. "I've never had this card before" Why did she feel so attached already? Walking to the kitchen, she got herself a glass of juice. "The mail's been piling up. I guess I should go through them…" Congratulations from Yugi, Joey…… an invitation to Kaiba Corp's latest tournament! She knew she couldn't pass a chance like this. She knew Kaiba would enter his own tournaments. This was the one chance she might never have……….
"Hey, Ryou! We found something! It seems to be an old cavern!" Ryou looked up at his colleague. Ryou's father arranged for Ryou to join on an archaeological dig, with promises of treasure and excitement. It's been 5 years since he's been to Egypt, not since he's been rid of……… He didn't want to think about it. Ryou hasn't been able to sleep easy with his Yami, lurking inside him. When the Ring disappeared in that cave-in with the other millennium items, he was free. Free from the nightmares, free from the pain……. Free from it all. "Oh….. My…….. God……." Ryou heard his colleague speak aloud. "I didn't think it was real. I thought they were just legends…… RYOU, GET DOWN HERE!" Ryou rushed down as fast as he could. "What is it? ... No…….. It can't be…… Get me a phone right away!" He needed help, someone who was an expert. Someone who knew of it from birth. He needed Marik.
"Yo, Bakura, it's been a while!" Marik has been very satisfied with his life, free from his destiny. "I heard it was really urgent, so I rushed over right away." Marik used some of his sister's connection with the Egypt Government to secure for him a job in politics. He was in the bottom of the chain, but he learns and quickly climbed up the government. Bakura, struggling to get the words out, was very stressed. He was sweating, and he had a look of fear in his eye. "Hey, what's wrong?" Marik knew Bakura wasn't the kind of guy to be like this. "I…. Found…… Them……" Bakura didn't need to explain more. Marik's tanned skin turned to pale white as he realized what this meant. The Millennium Items have been discovered.
