Paladin: I'm sad.
Rai: Why are you sad?
Paladin: I don't have a reason to do author's notes for this fanfic.
Sol: Why?
Paladin: Because this story isn't about you guys.
Shadow/Yam/Ari: *gasp* Nooooooooooo!
Paladin: I'm afraid so. One thing I do know is that it'll give me more time for the chapter.
Sol: *facepalm* What am I going to do with you?
Paladin: Love me and care for me?
Shadow: Nope!
Paladin: Oh, poo. I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh
(If I said this once, I'll say this a million times: if this is similar to anyone's story, I am sorry, but it is by pure coincidence.)

A Whole New Game Ch.1
Yami POV
Ever been stuck between a rock and a hard place? To say that I know what you mean would mean that I was lying.
I mean, I never, well almost never, lose. But Bakura was pushing my luck. BIG TIME.
Bakura: 3000 LP
Yami: 100 LP
"Your move pharaoh, unless you concede defeat." I expected that snide remark from him, but the truth of the matter was that he might be- no, I am not going to say it, because he will never be that.
And I will remain to believe in my cards no matter what. That includes now.
"My draw!" I put all of my soul into that one draw, and that made my hand count two, field count two. On my field I had Big Shield Gardna and my trusty Kuriboh, in my hand I had Polymerization and my newly drawn Dark Magician. Yet even with 2500 atk points, it still wasn't enough to defeat The Winged Dragon of Ra.
Yep, you read right. My archenemy has my most powerful monster on chain and leash. This wasn't good news for me.
As I prepared to place my hand on my deck, the world-wide sign of forfeiture, I heard a voice, a voice I'd not heard for a good five-thousand years.
Yep, five-thousand. Long story short: I am an Egyptian pharaoh that was the "King of Games" until I lost to Yugi, my partner, my aibou. [I mean that in a completely literal term, not yaoi or anything]
But he's the only person now that I lose to, not Bakura, not Marik, not Kaiba, just Yugi.
'Atem.' Whenever someone calls my real name, you know they mean business, or they just want my attention.
'Mahad?!' I thought surprisedly.
'Merge with me.'
'What?'
'Use your polymerization to merge with me. Do it now. It's the only way to win.' And as Yugi knows, I'll do anything it takes to win. And by anything, I literally mean anything.
"Now, I use polymerization on my Dark Magician-"
"Pharaoh, did you forget that you have no compatible material to merge with your precious magician?" Bakura cackled to the sky. "Face it pharaoh, I win."
"You didn't let me finish Bakura. I was going to merge myself with my precious magician as you called him." My soul left my body crumpling on the ground, and I finally had the ability to see the way a monster saw. It was beautiful.
"Now, come forth, Darkness Magician!"
