Chapter 1; Part 4: Showdown.
"Dad!"
Yugi was guiding a customer out and preparing to close down. "Hey son, how was school?"
Yuki hugged her dad.
"Dad I've got some news I think you might take an interest in."
"What's up?"
"I've kinda an…alter-ego if you will."
"I'm sorry…what?"
"I mean… it's like…you and Atem! Except…different."
"So…you're telling me you've an ancient Egyptian alter-ego?"
"Yes! Exactly! I've this Royal Advisor type dude…Raoul, tell him."
"Yes…I see him. Go on."
"He was telling me Atem's son-"
"Atem had a SON?"
"Yes! His name was Thutmose."
"That's your middle name! And who exactly did Atem have Thutmose with?"
"Queen Shebaza."
"Shebaza was a queen?"
"Apparently. Anywho, Thutmose's spirit dwells within my body, and it's awakened within me at this very moment, which explains these markings and why you can see Raoul. He's invisible unless (A) I command him to come forth of (B) I awaken the spirit. He's basically my guide to life."
"Raoul?"
"Yes. The boy speaks truth."
"Holy Ra! My son's royalty!"
"Dad!"
"Well you technically ARE…you're like…a prince."
"Does that make you king?"
"Sort of…"
"I'm actually shocked you believed me, even before I showed you Raoul."
"Hey, what do you think I went through went Atem was still here?"
"Good point."

He smiled at the familiar names on the list and put the paper away once he noticed Jr.
"Finally! Work on being prompt!" Jr. ordered aggressively.
"Didn't figure you'd be so eager to get your ass kicked."
"You're gonna eat those words, Mutou. I've gotten better since you last got lucky and had your way with me." They traded decks and shuffled.
"Really? Well, this'll be interesting."
"I heard about your 'awakening'. Doesn't make a difference in your losing fate." They traded back.
The dueldisks unfolded.
"Tails." Yugi T called and flipped the coin. It landed on…heads. "Shit."
"Heh." Jr.'s one syllable laugh taunted.
"Raoul my incarnate's trusted friend, guide me to my journeys end!" There was a brilliant flash of light and a gust of wind. Yugi T. awakened the spirit.
Jr. opened his eyes and noticed the markings on Yugi T.'s forehead and wrists. He also noticed Raoul's spirit standing…or floating rather…behind T.
"Let's Duel!"
Jr. carefully studied his hand as he picked up another card from the deck. "Okay, first I'll summon Gemini Dragon. Secondly and finally, I'm placing two cards face down. I end my turn."
Yugi T. glanced at his hand. "Alright, I'll play my Kuriboh in attack mode. Then, I'll place two face down cards, and end my turn."
Jr. drew. He gave a creepy grin at the card and added it to his hand. "I'll play the card, Fire-Breather, which gives all dragons on MY side of the field 300 ATK points. So, my Gemini Dragon gets that bonus, making their ATK points 800! Then, I play Emerald Dragon in ATK mode and, yes she's a dragon, she gets the bonus as well, making her have 1700 ATK! Now Emerald Dragon, attack that fuzz-ball!"
Yugi T.'s LP went down to 2600 as Kuriboh was destroyed.
"Now, Gemini Dragon, take a hit at his Life-Points!"
"Yugi T! Now!" Raoul yelled.
"I don't think that'll be happening, Jr. Reveal face down card! Shadow Spell! Your Gemini Dragon loses 700 ATK and cannot attack or change its battle position!"
Gemini Dragon's ATK dropped to 100.
"Ugh. You're move."
Yugi T drew. "I bring Ancient Sorcerer to the field in ATK mode. Then I'll play the card Magic Wand, allowing me to double the ATK points of ALL my Spellcasters. Since he's a Spellcaster…well…you get it, don't you?" Ancient Sorcerer's ATK points went up to 2000. "Now I order my Ancient Sorcerer to destroy your Gemini Dragon."
Gemini Dragon was erased from the field.
Jr. lost 1900 ATK points, causing him to occupy 2100 LP.
"Your turn, Rich Boy."
Jr. angrily drew and the smile returned. "I summon my Diamond Dragon in ATK mode. Thanks to her effect, I can summon any other Crystal Dragons I hold in my hand. I happen to have Topaz Dragon to join the party. And thanks to you being kind enough not to destroy Fire-Breather, they gain 300 ATK, now both of them have 1700. Now I play the card Crystal Justice, allowing all Crystal Beasts to acquire 400 ATK points for each fallen Crystal Beast. Now they both have 2100. Now I enter Battle Phase by attacking your Sorcerer with Topaz!"
Ancient Sorcerer was destroyed, leaving Yugi T. 2500 LP.
"Your move, Screw Up."
Yugi T drew. He made a face like he's just swallowed a rock.
Raoul whispered something to him and he smiled.
"Okay, I'll start by summoning Magician of Faith. According to her effect, I can summon any other Virtue Magician in my hand, allowing me to bring forth, Magician of Hope. Magic wand doubles their attack points. Your move."
Jr. smiled broadly. "I sacrifice Topaz and Diamond Dragons to prepare the field for one of my trusted friends; the Blue-Eyes White Dragon!" Blue-Eyes came from crashing thunder in the sky. "Fire-Breather gives Blue-Eyes 300, so now he occupies 3300 ATK points! Now, destroy them!"
"Not so EAGER now, Jr.!" Yugi T. yelled, smiling, "I face up the card Spell-book, cancelling your attack against ANY of my Spellcasters!"
"RA! Fine make your damn move so I can destroy you and WIN!"
Yugi T looked at Raoul.
He nodded, "Go with our plan."
"Now I sacrifice both magicians to bring to the field, Dark Magician!" Dark Magician made his dramatic entrance and appeared on the field. "Now, according to the effect of Magic Wand, which has not been destroyed or deactivated yet, DM gets his ATK doubled, giving him 5000 ATK points!"
"What! No!"
"Oh YES! Now, destroy that dragon!"
Dark Magician did as told.
"And FINISH his Life-Points!"
He did that, too.
The duel ended and the scenery returned to normal.
Jr. fell to his knees and hung his head.
"Raoul! We did it! We WON!" Yugi T. cried.
"Yugi T.!" Yuki screamed, running with Ami, Jou, Anu, and Den, "That was incredible! How'd you do it?"
"You know Yugi T.; always pulling it together at the last minute." Jou said, winking at his friend.
"I honestly would've lost that without Raoul."
"Yugi T.!" Jr., yelled, "How the hell do you do it! You beat me again…this is IMPOSSIBLE! I will beat you someday, you dirty RAT!" With that and a turn, Jr. called for a limo and was gone.
"Jeez. What an ass." Ami said.
"Ahhh…Jr." Yuki lovingly sighed.
"YUKI! Did you not see the way he just treated your brother?" Ami asked.
"All he needs is a good talking to." Yuki insisted.
"All he needs is a good ass beating." Yugi T corrected.
They all laughed as Yugi T. retuned to normal and they headed home.
