Yugi walked into the game store and looked for his grandfather. "Granpa, can we talk for a minute?" Yugi asked. "Of course Yugi, I just made some tea." he smiled. They sat down at the table and Yugi stared at his tea. "I'm guessing this is about the pharaoh." his grandfather said. "Yeah, I just had a few questions." Yugi said. "Fire away." his grandfather smiled. "Where exactly in Egypt did you find the puzzle?" Yugi asked. "In Giza, home of the great pyramids. It was a smaller monument, but me and Arthur just had a good feeling about it." he said. "How long did it take you to find the puzzle?" Yugi asked. "It was in the main chamber of the tomb, so it didn't take me very long to find it." he said. "What did the main chamber look like?" Yugi asked. "The years had worn it down quite a bit, but most of the carvings were still intact, there was carvings of duel monsters on the walls, just as Pegasus had said when he created the game." he said. "I drew The Dark Magician card earlier and he lead me to the museum, Ishizu was there...and I heard Atems voice. She told me that my bond with him will help me figure out how to contact him, but I'm confused. I don't know where to start." Yugi said. "Egypt would be a good start. Go back to the museum and go to the library. Look up everything you can about Atem and the days of him being the pharaoh." he said. "Thanks grandpa." Yugi said and smiled.

Yugi sat in his room and stared at The Dark Magician, hoping that he would hear Atem's voice again. 'Hearing your voice for just that split second...made me feel alive again.' Yugi thought. He looked at his arm and rubbed the scars and cuts with his thumb. "This is the closest I've gotten without you." Yugi whispered to the walls. He thought about what his grandfather said. 'Nothing in the museum or library is going to tell me anything that I don't already know...' Yugi thought and stared up at the sky. It was a clear night, the moon was shining brightly through his window. He watched a plane fly by and it suddenly hit him. He sat up quickly and went to his closet. He pulled out a box in the back of his closet, it was full of money. "Reading about Egypt isn't going to help me." Yugi said, counting his money. He got on his computer and looked up flights to Egypt. "It's time to go there for myself." Yugi said and booked his flight. He was leaving in the morning.

"What do you mean he's gone?!" Joey yelled. "I woke up to this note this morning. I have no idea where he went." said, he was beside himself with worry. "Yugi's lost it." Tristan said. "Where could he have gone? And why wouldn't he tell us?" Tea asked. "I got a bad feeling about this." Joey said. "He didn't leave any hint to where he was going?" Tea asked. "No, all I know is that he took his deck and his duel disk." said. "Maybe he went to face Kaiba, I mean after all, Kaiba is the decedent of the pharaoh's rival." Tristan said. "Let's go ask Kaiba!" Joey said. "Don't worry , we'll find him!" Tea said. "Thank you." he said.

Joey, Tristan, and Tea went to Kaiba Corp to talk to Kaiba. "I'm sorry, but is very busy preparing for the finals." one of his workers said. "Listen you! This is important! I don't care if Kaiba is sitting on the toilet! Now let us in!" Joey yelled. "Hey!" Mokuba yelled. "Joey, Tristan, Tea...what are you guys doing here? And where's Yugi?" Mokuba asked. "That's why were here. We need to know if your brother has him." Tea said. "Huh? What do you mean? You guys don't know where he is?" Mokuba asked. "No, he left a note saying he had to leave and he had to do it alone. We figured he might be here to duel Kaiba." Tristan said. "Let's go ask Seto, but I don't think he's seen him." Mokuba said, leading them to an elevator.

"So, this might be the wrong time to ask, but...is Yugi doing okay?" Mokuba asked. "He's far from okay. We're losing him." Joey said. Mokuba looked down to the floor and sighed. "I told Seto to just leave Yugi alone, but he won't listen." Mokuba said. "Does he ever?" Tristan asked. "Yugi hasn't been the same since that day. I could tell by the look on his face after it was all said in done...he looked like he was just empty inside." Mokuba said. They hit the top floor and went to Kaiba's office. "Seto, Yugi's friends are here, they were wondering if you had seen him." Mokuba said. "Why would I know where he is?" Kaiba asked. "He left a note saying that he was leaving and he had to go alone, they thought he might have come to duel you." Mokuba said. "I haven't seen him. He probably ran away, too afraid to face me after losing his little friend." Kaiba said. "Kaiba, you better watch your mouth!" Joey yelled. "I'll help you find Yugi, but only so I can make sure he comes back to duel me." Kaiba said. "Mokuba, use the computers to help them find Yugi. I'm leaving." Kaiba said. "Okay Seto." Mokuba said and sat down at the computer. Kaiba went to tell his crew to get his jet ready so that if he needed to go find Yugi somewhere, he could.

"How are you going to locate Yugi on here?" Tea asked. "Kaiba Corp has an advanced system that helps us locate duelists through their duel disks and certain cards that they play. But Yugi isn't showing up anywhere." Mokuba said. "His gramps said he had his duel disk with him." Joey said. "I know, that's the odd part, I can't locate it. Unless...it's outside of satellite range." Mokuba said. "Don't satellites cover the entire world?" Tristan asked. "Not exactly, Kaiba Corp only covers the country, not the entire world." Mokuba said. "So...Yugi left the country?" Tea asked. "That's what it looks like." Mokuba said. "How are we ever gonna find out where he went?" Tristan asked. "I can look up flights that left the airport between last night and now, filter out those that are within the country, and hopefully it will give us some sort of clue." Mokuba said, typing in a bunch of stuff. After a few minutes Mokuba gasped. "What is it?" Tea asked. "A flight left for Cairo really early this morning." Mokuba said. "Cairo? You mean like in Egypt?" Joey asked. "Yeah...I think you guys found your answer." Mokuba said. "How on Earth are we going to get there?" Tristan asked. "Easy. We have jets and planes that can go anywhere." Mokuba smiled. "But what about Kaiba?" Tea asked. "Don't worry, he wants to find Yugi as much as you guys do. He'll make sure we get there." Mokuba said and lead them down the hall to where Kaiba was. "Seto, we found Yugi, he's in Egypt. Get a jet ready." Mokuba said. "I'm guessing the goon squad is coming?" Kaiba asked. "You're damn right we are!" Joey said. "Fine. Just stay out of my way Wheeler." Kaiba said and lead them all to the jets.
