I don't own it.

The Next Day

Yugi had been quite scared once he came back from his "walk" yesterday. The last thing he wanted was to be like Bakura, to want take things that weren't his, to be happy and evil.

The night before, all of the boys had nightmares.

Yuma was dreaming about a dark Zexal with number 96. He dreamt that his friends were the ones to face the dark Zexal, and how he was happy to hurt them, to see them in pain.

Yugi was dreaming about taking the millennium items, how much power he would have one he took them and gave them to Bakura.

Jaden was dreaming about taking over this, and many other dimensions. He dreamt about helping the supreme king destroy all of the homes and villages.

Yusei was dreaming about helping Sayer take over the Earth. How he would find and manipulate other good duelists into helping them.

It was not a pleasant night.

The next morning was not any better. They all had been silent after eating with their "Masters". The silence was stopped by Jaden.

"Hey guys! I have an idea! How about we play a memory game! How about we try to remember why these guys are evil! It might help us fight back!"

"That's a great idea , Jaden!" Yuma said.

"Ok, I'm in." Yugi shrugged.

"Sounds good," Yusei said with a smirk.

"Ok, I'll start. Number 96 is evil cause….um…he..uh…. he took over Astral… and he…uh… tried to take me over and turn me against…oh what's his name…Bronk! Whew" Yuma was relieved.

"K, my turn! The Supreme King is evil cause he…..he…..ugh.. tried to take my body over and…..(what did he do)…..he ..hurt my friends Jim and ..Azal?...no Axel!" Jaden sighed, happy to remember.

"Alright, Bakura is evil because…he.. he…..he …he. Turned me into a …..a..uh…um…. card?...and he…did that …to…my…..uh friends too!" Yugi sighed, trying to remember.

"Yusei, you wanna go?"

"Uh, sure."

"Sayer's evil because he….he…..did…because he…"Yusei was scared. Everyone was staring at him, and he could only remember the name Akiza."he…..did….something to….a person named Akiza?"

"What did he do, Yusei?" Jaden asked worriedly.

" I….uhhhh…." Yusei was sweating. Why couldn't he remember! "I don't know."

Yugi looked at him, concerned. "Come on Yusei, you can remember-"

Yusei started to giggle," but I can't, heh…I ….ha..can't….hhaahahahhaaHAHAHAHHHHAA!"

Jaden looked at Yuma. "Yusei, get a hold of yourself!"

"CAN'T REMEMBER! HAHHAHHHAA!"

Yugi went up and slapped him like Yuma had, but to no effect. He tried it again, and thank goodness it worked.

"Yusei, you're getting worse." Jaden whispered.

Yusei looked at himself in horror. "I….can't remember."

"don't worry Yusei, they'll find us and….. Yugi, what's wrong?"

"I….can't remember either."

"What? But you remembered a few seconds ago."

"No, but I can't remember the people I was with. I don't know who I considered friends at that point."

"Yugi….no…" Yuma was freaked out, Jaden was confused, Yugi was sulking, and Yusei was afraid of what he was becoming.

"Oh Jaden, it's time."

All of them looked at the door to see the Supreme King.

"No….no, I….I won't!" Jaden looked at the King in horror.

"Oh, poor boy, doesn't want to face his destiny. Jaden, you have to come."

"No….no."Yusei said weakly.

"Leave him alone." Yugi said with a snarl.

"Oh Jaden, don't want to end up like your friend I see. For all of you, though, it will soon come to pass. Soon you will only know us. Now Jaden, I will go get Sayer or Bakura and have them finish your friends, or you'll come."
"Jaden…no.." Yusei started.

Jaden got up and went over to the door. "Sorry Yus, Yugi, can't have you leave us yet.

As soon as Jaden was reset, they started their stroll.

"Oh Jaden, you and your friends really will do better with us than with those friends of yours. Really you have great potential. Don't you think so?"

"Yes, my King."

"Jaden, just wait two nights. That is when all of you will forget, all of you will be with us. That will be the night that your friends will be beaten, and you will willingly come to us. It will be grand! You shall defeat your pity "friends" and all will be well. Won't that be wonderful?"

"Yes my King."

" Yes it will. Now take a left here."

"As you command, my king."
