Yami: 600

Raphael: 3000

"I activate the spell card, Hand Control. All I need to do is guess the card in your hand, and if I'm correct, then I activate it," Yami stated with a confident smile on his face, "And since the card in your hand is Necromancy, I am allowed to activate it!"

At this point, Joey, Tristan and Duke slid down the cliff to join Rex and Weevil on the chasm.

"What are you two doing here?"

"You just missed the best part of the duel!" Rex said, ignoring Joey's question with a grin on his face.

Joey snorted, and looked at the duel, completely ignoring the dino duelist.

"Necromancy allows me to bring back four monsters from my graveyard. I choose Big Shield Gardna, Berfomet, Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts, and Kuribabylon," the Pharaoh explained, watching as the monsters appeared on the field. "Next, I sacrifice Gazelle and Berfomet to summon Dark Magician!"

A magician clad in purple armor, wielding a teal staff appeared on the field. Covering his torso and shoulders were curved plates with sharp edges (2500/2000).

Dark Magician held his head in pain as the Orichalcos symbol appeared on his head. In an instant, a cruel smiled appeared on his face as he stood up straight (Dark Magician 2500+500=3000).

"Next, I separate Kuribabylon into the five Kuriboh brothers. Now, my monsters, feel the power of the Orichalcos!"

Big Shield Gardna (ATK: 100+500= 600)

The Kuribohs (ATK: 300+500= 800)

"Then I combine the power-upped Kuribohs to form Kuribabylon!" Yami smirked as Kuribabylon's attack points were raised to 4500.

"Wow! He summoned so many monsters all at once!" Weevil exclaimed, before looking at Rex, who nodded in agreement.

"The Seal of Orichalcos is really a powerful card," they said together.

Gabriel seemed a bit worried. What will happen if Yami won?

"It's all thanks to the Orichalcos," Yami said, with a dark smile on his face.

"You're wrong—the power comes from the darkness in you," Raphael said, shaking his head in disagreement.

"I don't care where this power came from. All that matters is it's mine now," Yami pointed his index finger at Raphael's Grarl. "Kuribabylon, attack Guardian Grarl!" Yami commanded, as Kuribabylon obeyed.

Raphael watched with a frown as his guardian was turned into pixels.

Yami: 600

Raphael: 1500

Since Grarl was in the graveyard, the spell card Purity of the Cemetery was also destroyed.

"I'm not done yet, I'll attack with Dark Magician!" Yami exclaimed, and Dark Magician obeyed his master.

"I activate Aid to the Doomed," Raphael exclaimed, sending two cards to the graveyard, stopping the magician's attack.

Yami noticed the frown on Raphael's face. "What? Are you jealous because The Seal of Orichalcos is on my side of the field now?" he asked, mocking Raphael.


A familiar person rode their green motorbike down the highway.

That Gabby girl is a threat. I know that, Skye thought bitterly. She doesn't know what she is dealing with.

Skye's eyes widened when she realized that she had left before finding out the outcome of the duel. Making a sharp u-turn, she headed back; hoping for Raphael to win.


Raphael drew two cards to begin his turn. "I activate Monster Rebirth, which allows me to take one card from my graveyard, and place it in my deck," he explained .

"I destroyed that monster once, and I'll do it again," Yami stated, crossing his arms.

Raphael ignored him and continued with his turn. "I place one card face-down, and activate Swords of Revealing Light to stop you from attacking for three turns."

Gabriel mentally cheered.


Skye arrived back to where she was originally and it was no surprise that Valon was still there.

"Oh, ya came back, 'at was fast fo' sure!" he said, waving at Skye. "W'ere are the magazines?"

"I told you I wasn't getting them, idget."

Valon scowled, only for it to be replaced with a smirk. "The real question is, w'at ya doin' back so soon?"

"Just wanted to check on Raphael," she shrugged, looking at the duel with her arms crossed. A frown was on her face as she saw the summoned Catapult Turtle. "I want to make sure that he wins."

"So 'ow long do ya think it will take fo' Raph to make 'is move?" Valon asked, looking at the duel.

Skye shrugged, "Knowing Raphael, he has something already planned. And I'm sure the outcome of the duel will be his victory."

Valon nodded. "I knew 'at." he said, and tried to cross his arms, which made Skye chuckled slightly.


"I activate the trap card, Limit Tribute. This card limits both of us to sacrifice only one monster per turn," Raphael explained the card's effect and Yami frowned a little.

"I end my turn."

Raphael drew two cards, "I play Nightmare Binding which takes 800 points from Kuribabylon and adds them to my life points." he said as a faint beam of blue light appeared around him.

"With the power of the Orichalcos with me I can't be stopped," Yami said and drew a card.

He pointed at Dark Magician, "Now that he's useless, I sacrifice him using Catapult Turtle's effect to inflict damage to your life points equal to half of Dark Magicians attack."

Raphael: 800

Yami: 600

"Now that Dark Magician is in the graveyard, he's useful again." Yami said and smirked as Dark Magicians ATK rose to 2800.

'That card has something weird about it. Yami doesn't play like this. Something isn't right.' Gabrielle thought with a frown on her face.

"Oi, Yugi! Snap out of it! You're not the Yugi I know!" Gabrielle shouted trying to wake Yami but to no avail.

"What have I done?" she muttered to herself.

Raphael drew two cards, "I place one card face-down and end my turn."

Yami drew a card, "I only have to destroy one card and this duel is over." he smirked, "And I choose Dark Magician Girl."

Dark Magician Girl looked at Yami with disbelief.

"Go on." Yami said and watched as Dark Magician Girl reluctantly climbed aboard the catapult, where she was launched toward Rafael.

"I activate Shrink! Reducing Dark Magicians Girl's attack to 1400!" he said and shielded himself with his arms as he was attacked.

Raphael: 100

Yami: 600

"You can't escape the Seal." Yami said as the Swords of Light disappeared.

"Look around the field, what have you done to your monsters? They were once pure spirits but now, they're evil shadows." Raphael said with some sympathy in his words.

He looked at his deck and drew two cards, he smiled, "I play Celestial Sword and Guardian Eatos!"

The sky was filled with lightning as Eatos appeared on the field. (ATK: 2500/ DEF: 2000)

Eatos picked up the Celestial Sword, "I activate its effect," Raphael said, "Guardian Eatos has the power to remove monsters from your graveyard and absorb their attack power."

Dark Magician emerged first from the graveyard, looking at Yami sadly. After her, Dark Magician, Big Shield Gardna, Gazelle, and Berfomet.

"You did this to your monsters, by selfishly sacrificing them for power," Raphael said with a glare at Yami.

Yami's monsters glared at him with anger.

"Please forgive me for what I've done to you." Yami begged but no avail.

Yami's monster flew to Eatos' sword and Eatos absorbed their attack power, making her ATK 10,000.

"Now attack!" Raphael commanded and Eatos obliged.


"Finally! 'e did his move!" Valon cheered, wincing in pain as he moved his arm.

Skye nodded to herself as the Seal shrank around Yami.

"Now I should leave. I've seen what I wanted to see."

"Oi! I need to ask you somethin'," Valon said, grabbing the attention of the brunette biker.

"What?"

"I think I know why you returned back 'ere," he stated, that smirk returning onto his face.

"I already said I came back-"

"Yea; to check on Raph. But I know the real reason behind it."

"…Enlighten me oh wise one," she sarcastically stated.

" I get the feeling that ya like 'im."

"What are you babbling about now, Aussie?"

"I ain't babbling 'bout nothin'," he said. "I'm just stating what I have been seeing."

"Which would be what?"

"You've got a crush on Raph!" he exclaimed.

"You're imagining things, Valon," she said as she got on her motorcycle and rode off.

"Don't fo'get the magazines!" he said and she just waved at him over her shoulder before leaving.

However, unknown to Skyler, a small blush on her face didn't go unnoticed by the Australian.


Gabrielle fell on her knees as she watched the end of the duel. That's not good. Yami's gone? How did that happen? she asked herself before riding her motorcycle.

"I must tell the others," she said and left the scene before anyone noticed her.

Arriving at the motor-house she turned off the engine and got off.. She walked as slowly as possible, not wanting to face Téa or Mai.

She opened the door slowly, seeing that Téa and Mai were doing something on a laptop. She sighed entering the motor-house making her presence known, "I'm back." she said quietly.

They both looked up and Mai said, "Where have you been?"

She had to tell them, no matter how much she didn't want too. Gabrielle sighed once again, "Yugi lost his soul."

"What?!" they both asked with disbelief.

Gabrielle opened her mouth to say something but she was interrupted by a car honk.

The three went outside the motorhome and a look of relief washed over their faces.

"Yugi!" Téa said happily as she saw Yami riding on Rebecca's horse.

Gabrielle looked up with confusion, "Huh? I thought you lost. What happened?"

Mai seemed suspicious of something, "Is everything all right?" she asked.

Joey shook his head, "We've got a problem."

"I let everybody down, especially Yugi." Yami looked at the ground afraid to look at any of them.

Suddenly something clicked in Gabrielle's mind, "They weren't after Yugi's soul, they were after the Pharaoh's soul, that means they're coming back to take your soul," she said.

Joey looked at them, "If we want to rescue Yugi, we mustn't look back!" he said, encouraging them.

Mai looked at Gabrielle, "You know where is Dartz, right?"

Gabrielle looked around sheepishly, "Well, I don't where it is from here, but if we looked around we may cross a familiar place and I might know where he is," she admitted.

"Alright guys, we're going to find who Dartz is, and where he keeps all the souls!" Joey said and everyone cheered except Yami.

"That's what I've been saying since day one, but nobody listens," Duke muttered.

Tristan strangled him, "Stop thinking about yourself!"

"Stop it you two!" Gabrielle said, smacking each of them.

Gabrielle smiled to herself, 'Good to be back.'


Now the big question is, has Gabrielle really left Doma? Or this is a part of her plan?

Next chapter will be up soon I hope! -Grins-
