Okay, sorry it took so long to update. I'm going on a trip and won;t be returning home until after May 2nd. I will not have my laptop with me so that means I will be unable to update. I'll try to work on the next chapter but I'm going to be very busy overseas. I wanted to update before I left so here's the next chapter, which is kind of short. And I still don't own Yu-Gi-Oh even if I do like the show.

After all of the various breakfast foods had been eaten, Angel lead everyone to the library. It had thousands of comics, mangas, hard cover, soft cover, and other kinds of books. The dark wooden shelves reached the ceiling, all filled with books.

Near the back of the library were a few wooden desks, chairs, a fire place, and three dark green couches of various sizes facing the fire place. The couch to the right of the fireplace could seat three people comfortably, and possibly squeeze a fourth person in. The one on the left side could sit four or five people. The third couch, which was parallel to the fire place, was able to have six to eight people seated all at once.

Mai, Joey, and Serenity sat down on the three seater while Ryou, Duke, Tristan, Yugi, and Tea ended up on the largest couch, leaving the four seater for Mokuba, Seto, and Angel. Angel however did not sit down, instead standing in front of the fireplace. She took a match from the mantle and struck it against the stone. Angel then tossed it into the fireplace, lighting the wooden logs.

"This is going to take a while," she start off. "So try to pay attention since I won't repeat myself." Taking a deep breath, Angel mentally prepared herself. "To get what's happening here, I'm going to need to explain something else first."

Lifting her palms upwards, Angel started to create spheres of light, all different colors. The largest one was white while the second largest ones were purple and green. Little tubes seemed to connect all the spheres to the large white one. The green and purple sphere were connected to all the other spheres as well, but not with each other.

"This is model of a portion of all the worlds," Angel began, making the model float up above her head. "The white sphere represents the Afterlife, which in itself is made of two worlds. The purple one is the Shadow Realm, where we currently are."

"What's the green sphere?" Serenity asked, watching the floating model with great interest.

"Well it doesn't really have a fancy name," Angel answered. "But it's one of the two Connectors, worlds that are connected to all of the dimensions except each other. The Shadow Realm is the other Connector." The other spheres seemed to fade out as Angel increased the two Connectors' size. "These worlds are never meant to connect with one another. However, that's kind of what Zorc did." Everyone looked at Angel, curious as to what she meant. "He opened a portal from here to there, which actually weakened the portals to the other worlds. The hole he made has been sealed, but the damage hasn't been repaired."

"Well why don't you fix it then?" Duke asked, earning himself a glare from Angel.

"It's not as simple as it sounds," she growled. "Because Zorc weakened the portals, some villain from another world is trying to break through and use the Shadow Realm as a high way system to conquer all of the worlds."

"Um, Angel?" Mokuba spoke up. "What would happen if this villain succeeds?"

"All of the worlds will be destroyed," Angel replied, letting the seriousness of the situation sink in. "What Zorc did was merely the first domino in a chain reaction. Now I need help to prevent the last one from falling by stopping the chain as soon as I can."

"From the sounds of things, you could have gotten anyone to help you," Mai observed. "So why us?"

"'Cause we're the best of the best," Joey chimed in.

"Actually it's because only you guys know how to use these," Angel replied. She made the spheres disappear before making a large wooden door appear right behind herself. Turning around, Angel opened the door and walked into what seemed like a very messy and long hallway.

"It's nice to know she still has organization problems," Mokuba smiled.

"This is organized!" her voiced called. "It's an organized mess!"

"There's no such thing!" Mokuba yelled back.

The sound of various items falling was the only answer Mokuba received. The group began to worry about Angel's safety until they heard her yelling at the fallen objects, calling them "stupid", "junk", and even threatening to throw them out if they fell on her again. Soon Angel reappeared with a familiar golden object in her hands.

"The Millennium Items," she finally answered the unspoken question what "these" were. "I believe that this is yours Yugi, unless you think the Puzzle has rejected you after all that you've been through."

"How?" Yugi managed to get out, staring at the item in shock, much like everyone else.

"Well when Atem went to the Afterlife, the first time, the Millennium Items were sent to the Shadow Realm," Angel explained. "Zorc didn't realize it so they've been laying around for a while until I took over and hunted them down. Since they draw their power from here, their strength is actually increased compared to when in your world. That's also why I'm immune to them, having the same power source."

"The Shadow Realm," Tea said, looking at Angel curiously. "But how are you still... well 'normal'?"

"That's another story for another time," she replied. "Now Yugi take this Puzzle while I go hunt down the other five items."

"Six," Ryou corrected. "There are seven total."

"No I mean five," Angel remarked. "I already gave someone an item. He's going to help us defeat some villains as soon as we can get him away from the village." With that Angel shoved the Millennium Puzzle into Yugi's hands before returning to the mess that was apparently her magical item storage space.

"Who do you think she's talking about?" Duke asked.

"Three people come to mind," Yugi replied. "Shadi, Marik, or Pegasus."

"But since Shadi was a ghost, wouldn't he have gone to the Afterlife?" Tea pointed out.

"I guess we can eliminate Shadi from the list," Joey shrugged. Angel soon emerged with the Millennium Ring in hand. She dropped in into Ryou's hands before going back to her search for the other items.

"I wonder who will end up with an item," Mai said. "After all, not all everyone here has had an item before."

"I guess we'll figure out when Angel returns with the rest of the items," Tristan observed.
