Chapter 2
(In a dimension between the human and spirit world)
"Where am I?" asked a girl with messy brown hair. She wore a strapless dress with golden trimming. Around her waist was a golden belt. On her feet were gold-coloured sandals. Around her neck, was a golden choker with a tearshaped ruby in the center.
"You are between the human and the Spirit world, Mana. The time for your battle against the Oricalcos with the help of the Pharaoh is approaching. Once the dragons are returned to knights, you will be freed. But you can start to protect the warriors at the time in which they falter and/or lose a duel." Slifer, one of the Egyptian gods answered.
"Slifer, I am not sure if it is wise to send me to help stop the Oricalcos. Even after so much time, I am still angry at those who hurt me so long ago. What if the pain they caused me influences me in such a way, that I do something foolish and rather than help the world, I destroy it." Mana asked, fear evident on her face.
"We know how you feel, Mana, but it was part of the prophecy. If it didn't happen that way, you wouldn't have been able to save them back then." Ra comforted the hurting girl.
"You have every right to be angry and hurt, but promise us that if the warriors are in trouble, you will set your differences aside and help them. Once the war is over and you become human again, it will be up to the pharaoh to gain your trust again. You are, after all the one who carries his memories around your neck." Obelisk said, understanding how the girl feels.
But we don't have time to chit-chat right now. The pharaoh wavered and has made a grave mistake. The boy he shares a body with, will sacrifice himself to save the pharaoh. You will have to save the boy and afterwards test the pharaoh to see whether he is still worthy of the dragons' and your help. Now, go, Mana, quickly." Ra urged the girl.
"Right!" Mana answered with a fire burning in her eyes "we'll talk later" and faded out.

(The pharaoh have lost the duel and Yugi has just pushed Yami out of the seal and is disappearing due to the seal's effects)
Suddenly, before completely disappearing, Yugi heard a feminie voice "Seal of Oricalcos, as the chosen one, I unlock you!" Before he could react, he felt his hand being grabbed and pulled out of the seal.
"What the?! What is going on?" the flustered Yugi thought.
Before he could think even further, he appeared in his soulroom. He was just about to exit his room to call the pharaoh, but was stopped when Mana appeared before him.
"Are you alright? Did the seal hurt you?" the girl asked with concern written all over her face.
"What happened? Who are you? And how is it that you were able to save me from the seal? Moreover, how are you even here?" Yugi rambled, not giving the girl any time to answer any of her questions.
"Well to answer your questions in the order you asked them, I pulled you out of the seal by stopping time and temporarily unlocking the seal. I can't tell you what my name is yet, but you can call me Una. I was the one who fought against the great beast 5000 years ago" said the strange girl.
"Wait a minute. You're the statuette in the center of the pillar with the three dragons? "How is it that you are here? Dark Magician Girl didn't know how to free you! Yugi exclaimed.
"Actually, I am still a statuette. Because you're one of the dragon's holders, I was able to act through him in order to reach you. I am able to save you, but I can't do that yet. Once time resumes, you will be sealed away. But don't worry, all isn't lost. I am here to give you some good news: Soon the pharaoh will go to a place in an effort to contact you. Once there, you must duel him, test him. If the pharaoh defeats you, I will be able to free you from your Oricalcos prison. Once freed, you will be brought back here but you will unfortunately remain in a coma-like state. You will only wake once the pharaoh defeats Dartz."
"I can see that you are a good person, Una, and because you are willing to help us, I will gladly help you." Yugi answered with a smile on his face.
"Thank you, Yugi, I appreciate it. Oh, when do you test him though, don't mention anything about me. If he is worthy, everything will be revealed to him shortly after the test." Mana said in a kind, but comminding voice, already fading from Yugi's view.
