The Pharaoh's Return

It had only been a few weeks since the spirit of the Pharaoh had gone back to his own world and Yugi was still depressed about not having Yami with him anymore. As Yugi sat and listened to the lesson his teacher was going over, he begun to remember all the adventures that he and his friends had gone on since he first put on the Millennium Puzzle as well as all the friends, and enemies, he had made since then. Yugi's behavior had not gone unnoticed. Tea, one of Yugi's best friends, was starting to become concerned about how Yugi had been acting lately.

I've tried everything I can think of. Tea thought to herself. I wish Joey and Tristan weren't busy visiting Serenity for the week. If they were here then we could definitely cheer Yugi up.

While Tea sat at her desk wondering what she could do to help Yugi, she almost didn't notice that the classroom was now empty and everyone had left for home. As she hurried to gather her things she heard people outside chanting Yugi's name. She went to the window to see what was going on and saw that Yugi was dueling against one of the students from another class.

"This aught to finish you off, King of Games. I use Axe of Despair on my Goblin Attack Force to make their attack 3300. Once your Swords of Revealing Light are gone, so are your life points."

"My turn, and I'll start by sacrificing my Queens Night to summon Dark Magician Girl. I'll then put two cards face down and end my turn."

"Now that your Swords are gone, I'll summon my Science Soldier in defense mode and activate United We Stand on my Goblin Attack Force, making it's attack 4900. Now I'll attack your girlfriend and wipe her off the field."

"Not so fast. I activate Magic Cylinder and sound your attack right back at you and your life points. I guess that means I win."

"I almost had you Yugi, oh well. I got to get home. See you Tomorrow."

"Yeah, sure."

Tea watched the slight smile on Yugi's face and was relieved that Yugi was starting to lighten up a little. After watching Yugi leave Tea grabbed her stuff and went to go and surprise him at his house.

It had only been a few minutes since Tea had come over to visit Yugi but Yugi was already starting to feel bored. Since Yami had left Yugi just didn't seem to have anything left in him. While Tea and Yugi were watching TV Tea noticed a golden glow coming from Yugi's chest and that he was sweating.

"Yugi what's wrong? Are you alright?"

"I don't know Tea, but I feel..."

Yugi didn't get a chance to finish his sentence as the pain became too unbearable for him to even try and speak. Suddenly Yugi found himself inside an all too familiar maze like tomb.

"It's been a while Yugi."

"Yami! Is it really you?"

"Yes, it's me. I'm glad to see you Yugi."

"I've missed you so much but, what are you doing here?"

"I don't know, but I sense a great evil is coming our way. That is probably why I was sent back here."

"Whatever is coming we'll face it together."

"Yes we will. Yugi, if you don't mind I would like to see Tea and tell her hello."

"Sure, no problem."

As Tea began to beg for Yugi to wake up she was left speechless as Yugi transformed into Yami.

"It is good to see you again, Tea."

"Pharaoh, I can't believe it! But how..."

Tea's question was cut short as her cellphone began to ring. She picked it up to see who it was and saw that it was Tristan.

"Hey Tristan what's up?"

"Tea, you and Yugi have to come here quick!"

"What's wrong?"

"It's Joey, some girl came and challenged him to a duel and won!"

"Joey lost!"

"Yeah but the thing is that after the duel she turned Joey to stone!"

" Are you serious? Ok we'll be there as soon as we can catch a train out there."

Tea hung up and explained to Yami what Tristan told her. The two of them decided that they would head out right away and do whatever they could to help.

As they left Yugi's Grandpa and the game shop they didn't notice the two figures watching them high above the city.
