I want to do the next chapter, because this part is one of my favorites lol. You'll see why. I'm also gonna include Atem, since I'm gonna be doing the Pandora duel anyways. I wanna thank NightmareTroubador for sending me the volume 12 of Yugioh Duelist. It was a big time lifesavor and I mean BIG TIME life savor. Review please!

In the middle of the Town Square of Domino City, there were two duelists bickering over the anti rule, which was to nobodys surprise. One of the duelists had wild white hair, strong muscle tone, and a black muscle shirt. He picked his opponent up by the collar of the shirt with their faces only a half inch apart.

"Listen pal, I won that duel, so you have to meet my demands!" The white-haired duelist demanded.

"B-But we agreed to the anti rule. I never agreed to give you $900," the opponent muttered fearfully.

"I don't give a shit! You give me my..."

Mokuba blew his whistle at the two duelists. The tough white-haired duelist started becoming extremely annoyed. Mokuba loved his job as Chairman of Battle City, especially blowing the whistle.

"As the Chairman of this tournament, it's my job to settle disputes!" Mokuba smirked.

"Isn't that the hosts' job?" The white-haired duelist asked with annoyance.

"Yeah, but they let me help, since the Town Square is huge and they're also dueling too," Mokuba replied before taking the white-haired duelist's anti card.

"HEY!"

"Anti rules are the most common issues. It is forbidden to change the anti rule after the duel, including demanding money," Mokuba said, looking at the two cards. "They seem formidable. There' s no reason why you shouldn't agree to this."

The wild white-haired duelist picked Mokuba up by the front collar and met his face yelling, "YOU WANNA DIE KID? NOBODY MESSES WITH MY RULES!"

"And nobody messes with my little brother," Seto said plainly behind the white-haired duelist threatening Mokuba. He turned his head and gasped in horror as his eyes faced Seto Kaiba and Atem Moto.

"You have got to be f***ing kidding me! Nagumo?" Atem glared with slight shock. He then showed a huge smirk. "Long time no see. Why am I not surprised to find you along the list of duelists who perfer cheating tantics?"

"You know this pathetic waste bag?" Seto asked.

"He's the one who stole Yugi's Monster Fighter monster toy."

"So... he's known for both cheating and abusing brothers. How pathetic," Seto smirked.

"Here's his anti," Mokuba said, giving Seto the card.

"A Hyozanryu? You really are pathetic. I have 36 cards just like this one. I'm surprised you demand so much out of this," Seto mocked.

"More like a hundred," Atem smirked while rolling his eyes. "Even my Dark Magician is more rare than that monster and I pity it for being owned by someone like you."

"SHUT UP YOU F***ING PIECE OF SHIT!" Nagumo yelled.

"I tell you what," Seto said while ripping the card in half. "I'll duel you right now and I'll use these as my anti." Mokuba opened Seto's suitcase, which was filled with rare cards.

"Oh man, this should be good," Atem smirked while leaning against the wall. "If Seto's dueling you and not asking me to take care of it, you know you're in trouble."

"In fact, I'll even add my God Card as my anti. You can use the rare cards in my suitcase to set up your deck."

"Scratch that, you're screwed."

"DEAL!" Nagumo agreed unthinkably.

Nagumo set up his deck, using the cards from Seto's briefcase, then shuffled them in his duel disk. Nagumo and Seto began their duel and it hit like a bomb. Nagumo found himself half paralyzed on the ground shaking while Atem helped the opponent up and gave him a rare card to make up for Nagumo's cheating tactics. Him, Seto, and Mokuba left the alleyway leaving a Nagumo in shock while his opponent ripped up all his duel monster cards.

"Well, that was fun," Seto smirked while letting out a dark chuckle.

"That was surprisingly better than a Shadow Game. I can't believe he actually grew paralyzed after you summoned Obelisk, I mean it is a hologram!" Atem chuckled.

"He was a pathetic duelist and a cheater! I hate duelists like that and will not stand for low life duelists like that!"

"At least he wasn't Joey's old time gang, Huritani and his asshole friends!"

"You mean those punks that shot me with paintball guns and almost choked me to death?" Mokuba asked angrily.

"Bingo," Atem smirked.

"I told ya," Seto said to Mokuba as Atem rolled his eyes. "Atem did join a crappy gang that sells drugs and sex."

"You're an ass, you know that?"

"Gee, what gave that away?" Seto asked sarcastically.

Atem got out Red-Eyes Black Dragon that Joey gave to him. He was willing to protect Joey's card with his life. Though, the question still bothered Atem alot: why would those those Rare Hunters be after Red-Eyes? That puzzled Atem alot as he walked to the next street.

"Clearview," Atem whispered randomly.

"Did you say something?" Seto asked.

"Hm?"

"Nevermind."

"Why would some Rare Hunters be after Red-Eyes and how would they even know Joey had it?" Atem asked himself aloud.

"Where'd Wheeler get that damn duel disk anyways?"

"He said Trading Card Shop."

"More than likely, Wheeler got it from the store for the scums where the Rare Hunters would be located."

"You think?"

"It's a possibility," Seto shrugged before Atem ran off down the sidewalk. "HEY! WHERE YOU GOING?"

"After those sons of a bitches who were in charge of stealing Joey's Red-Eyes!" Atem replied before turning a corner. "Jetson Street." 'Ok, this is weird, why am I spouting out street names like I'm giving out my location?' Atem asked himself, which was beyond Yugi's knowing.

Yugi's spirit floated next to Atem as he watched his brother spouting out location after location. Yugi began fearing that this wasn't just some coincidence. He furrowed his eyebrows and asked, "brother, let me duel this time!"

'Yugi, I can handle this!' Atem promised.

"Yeah, but this Rare Hunter could have a god card and you promised for me to duel to retrieve them!"

'You probably are right. I'll let you take over.'

Atem changed to Yugi and he started running toward the location they needed to be. It was the southern part of the Town Square in front of a store, which read Trading Cards. Yugi narrowed his eyes as he opened the door to the shop, which was closed. Seto followed Yugi inside the store.

"Impressive. The location of the Rare Hunters," Seto smirked as Yugi walked in front of the counter where he saw the monitor where Atem's profile showed.

"It's brother's profile," Yugi said as Seto rose his eyebrows, noticing that Atem changed to his alter ego.

The screen changed to some sort of white-faced puppet on a tricycle. Yugi gasped and slowly backed up a few steps as the puppet said, "hey Atem, I'd like to play a little game."

"You cannot be serious!" Atem smirked as he placed his hand on his face. "Apparently, this Rare Hunter's a Saw fan."

"You like my little video?" a voice asked as Yugi turned his head and saw an older man with a mask that seemed like a Mardi Gras mask. "Let me introduce myself, my name is Pandora."

"A Rare Hunter, figures," Seto smirked.

"For a Rare Hunter that steals and counterfeits cards, he sure looks gay," Mokuba mocked.

"And he looks like he's seen too many horror films," Seto included.

'There's something awfully familiar about that puppet,' Yugi said, looking at the screen. Atem stood next to it, smiling wildly.

"What gave you that idea?" Atem asked in a dark tone as Yugi shrugged.

'No reason.'

"It is time for us to duel in our grand show!" Pandora announced with his arms spread. "I shall show you!" He grabbed Yugi by the arm and dragged him down the stairs. Seto and Mokuba followed the two opponents downstairs and into an arena. "Welcome to the grand arena for Magicians! Marik took the time to send me to duel you, so I decided to set up this perfect arena for our duel!"

"Marik! You've talked to him?" Yugi asked dumbfounded.

"Oh yes and your so called 'brother' will find out how soon enough," Pandora smirked as Yugi furrowed her eyebrows.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

Pandora smirked and a dark chuckle escaped from his lips. Yugi gulped and felt as if something bad was about to happen or already has. Atem felt the same, but there was something about what Pandora said. What did he mean by 'will find out soon enough'?

Atem warned Yugi, "careful. I've got a bad feeling about this duel."

'I figured that much,' Yugi replied. He stepped up to the round table with a hexagram circle on it. Pandora was on the other side with his deck in his hand.

"You see, Yugi, you're not the only one who holds a spellcaster deck. I also hold a spellcaster deck and with Dark Magician, no doubt," Pandora smirked as Yugi showed one on his lips.

"Then this duel should be interesting," Yugi replied as him and Pandora shuffled their decks. While shuffling, he noticed Pandora shuffling using the shotgun shuffle. "Shuffling like that will damage your cards you know."

"This is the only type of shuffling I know," Pandora replied before him and Yugi passed their decks to each other to cut it. "Time to cut the deck!"

While cutting Pandora's deck, Yugi noticed that the cards were slightly shaved on one edge, showed a hole on a curtain spot, or was marked. Atem glared, knowing that this was obviously a cheating tactic used to know each card apart while face-down. According to the rules, messing with the cards to tell them apart including shaving them or marking them can only be done if the person was a blind handicapped, but Pandora wasn't blind.

"Now, time to duel!" Pandora smirked. Him and Yugi walked up to the end of the arena where each duelist was supposed to stand. Before Yugi knew it, he heard a snap and gasped in horror as he saw shackles strapped to his legs.

"YUGI!" Mokuba cried before him and Seto noticed Pandora's legs also strapped to shackles.

"What kind of sick game are you playing?" Seto asked angrily.

"It is my kind of duel monsters rule. Let me explain," Pandora smirked, who was holding the rope, which strapped the shackles onto his and Yugi's legs. "This is an arena for magicians! It's my grand show Pandora's Escape From the Very Jaws of Death!" Seto, Mokuba, and Yugi heard the roaring sound of blades, which was so loud, they could barely hear themselves. "Whoever loses this duel will have their legs saw in half!"

"WHAAAAAT!" Yugi yelled from across the arena. "I CAN'T HEAR YOU!"

"I SAID IF YOU LOSE, YOUR LEGS WILL BE SAWED IN HALF!"

"MY LEGS WILL BE LAUGHED AT?"

"NOOOOO! I SAID YOU LEGS WILL BE SAWED IN HALF!"

"MY LEGS WILL BE SAWED IN HALF?"

"THAT'S WHAT I SAID!"

"WHAT?"

"F*** THIS SHIT AND LET'S DUEL!"

"A DUCK HITS AND RULES?"

"I SAID DUEL YOU F***ING D***HEAD!" Pandora yelled on the top of his lungs with frustration.

"This is bad!" Atem said, staring at the blade. Luckily, him and Yugi shared a body, so talking to each other was like talking to himself. "Are you sure you wanna do this?"

"I'm sure!" Yugi said, not fearing of talking aloud to Atem since the saw blades were so loud, nobody could hear each other. "LET'S DUEL, PANDORA!"

"WHAT? OH FORGET IT AND LET'S DUEL!" Pandora replied before placing his deck in the duel disk. Yugi also placed his deck in his duel disk and the two duelists began their duel.

"From the looks of it, the numbers by the saw blade stands for our life points, so as our life points go down, the blade comes closer until it cuts our legs off. This guy really has seen too many horror films," Atem said with crossed arms.

"This guy's psycho!" Yugi replied, then peered at the box below him. "What's this?"

"I don't know," Atem said before hearing something.

"That's where your key is," a familiar voice said inside Atem's mind that wasn't Yugi's.

"Yugi, did you hear something?" Atem asked as Yugi shook his head.

"The numbers on it show the enemy's life points. When it reaches zero, the winner can retrieve the key out of the shackles," The voice said again.

"The box is where our key to our escape is," Atem told Yugi as he looked at his brother with blinking eyes. "At least that's what I think."

"Perhaps, but what if Pandora loses? He'll die as well."

"We'll find a way."

Yugi and Pandora drew their first five cards from their deck. Yugi knew he could only know what Pandora said on his phase by rather lip reading or seeing what monsters he would summon. The other issue was if Pandora would use more cheating tactics than just shaving or marking his cards. Yugi suspected that Pandora used other tactics to get the cards he wanted. More than likely, he had Dark Magician on his first draw.

Yugi drew his first card, then peered at his hand. A slight smirk grew on his lips before he declared, "I place one card face-down, then summon Alpha the Magnet Warrior in defense mode!" Alpha the Magnet Warrior appeared in a defense position.

Seto and Mokuba watched in horror as Yugi began dueling with Pandora. There were no rules against playing this kind of game. In fact, these kind of games never were brought to Seto's or Atem's attention. Who would want to play games like these? Seto hated the fact that this guy was willing to play with his opponent's life while thinking this was fun. Playing with someone else's lives was not fun, Seto would know.

Pandora drew his next card and seeing victory in his eyes as he gazed as his Dark Magician in his hand. He declared, "I summon Legion the Fiend Jester in defense mode and end my turn!"

Yugi drew his next card and smiled at his hand. He could tell what Pandora was trying to pull off.

"I play Card Destruction!" Yugi said as Pandora's face turned completely white. "Each of us have to refresh our hand, so your Dark Magician is gone!"

"Shiiiit!" Pandora whined, but surprisingly heard Yugi's last comment. "WAIT, HOW DID YOU KNOW I HAD DARK MAGICIAN!"

"BECAUSE I NOTICED YOU CUT AND MARKED YOUR DECK!"

"WHAAAAAAT!"

"YOU CUT AND MARKED YOUR DECK, YOU CHEATING SON OF A BITCH!"

Pandora glared in anger and shock. Yugi was smarter than he looked. He smirked cunningly and played another spell card.

"I play Mind Control, so your Fiend Jester is mine!" Yugi declared as Legion the Fiend Jester disappeared from Pandora's fiend and ended up on his. He smirked at the very card in his hand. "I sacrifice our monsters to summon out my Dark Magician, my soul card!"

Dark Magician appeared bright and bold. He turned his head toward Yugi and said, "I'll protect you, my pharaoh."

"DARK MAGICIAN, ATTACK THIS CLOWN DIRECTLY!" Yugi cried, which sounded like a scream since his voice was trying to be louder than the running blade. Dark Magician shot a huge blast at Pandora and left him with 1500 life points. The blade on Pandora's side slowly came closer as fear and sweat poured on his face.

"So much for the Show of the Century. That guy is more scared than Joey is of mummies," Atem smirked with crossed arms.

"IF YOU WANT TO SPARE YOUR LIFE, YOU'D GIVE UP THIS SHARADE! QUITE THE DUEL!" Yugi cried out to Pandora, not wanting to be the one to take his life.

"GIVE UP? WHY WOULD I WANT TO GIVE UP? I'VE NEVER FELT MORE ALIVE THAN TASTING THE TASTE OF DEATH!" Pandora shouted with a crazy expression.

"It's official, he's a serial killer," Atem thought with furrowed eyebrows.

"I can't believe he's getting himself killed like this!" Yugi glared angrily.

"Just keep dueling, Yugi. Maybe a few inches off his life will make him come to his senses."

"I place one monster in defense mode, then fold one card! That ends my turn!" Pandora declared as his monster appeared in a defense position.

Yugi drew his next card, then peered at it, along with his cards. He declared, "I summon Beta the Magnet Warrior in attack mode!" Beta the Magnet Warrior appeared on the field as Pandora showed an evil smirk.

"I activate my trap!" Pandora said before his face-down card activated. "Coffin of Dark Destruction!" A coffin appeared in the field and sucked Beta the Magnet Warrior inside it before it closed. "With this, I can resurrect Dark Magician by using two souls, one of my monsters and one of yours!" Pandora's monster was also sucked into the coffin, then it glowed and its lid opened like french doors and there appeared Dark Magician.

"Oh shit!" Atem responded.

"Two Dark Magicians," Yugi added, seeing his own Dark Magician and Pandora's Dark Magician on opposite fields. "I place two face-downs and end my turn!"

"Then I'll place two face-down cards as well!"

"Two more face-downs!"

"I also place two folded cards!"

There were four face-down cards in each of the opponent's field. Yugi knew that the true test was about to begin.

"Alright, I'm getting damn bored!" Pandora glared before revealing his spell card. "I play Mystic Guillotine!" A Guillotine appeared on the field and strapped Yugi's Dark Magician onto it.

"MAHAD!" Yugi cried as he watched his close friend struggle and glance at the small boy with gleaming eyes.

"Master!" Dark Magician said as Yugi furrowed his eyebrows at Pandora.

"Don't worry, I'll save you!" Yugi promised. "I play my trap card Magical Hats!" Four hats appeared on the field, one of them was in the guillotine. When the blade crushed the hat, there was no Dark Magician found. "You okay Mahad?"

"Thank you," Dark Magician replied inside one of the hats.

"Then I play Thousand Knives!" Pandora declared as thousands of knives appeared from his Dark Magician and aimed toward the three remaining hats.

"De-Spell!" Yugi cried triumphantly as his spell card activated, negating Pandora's spell card.

"Why you little bitch!" Pandora cried out angrily and annoyingly. "DARK MAGICIAN ATTACK!"

Both Dark Magicians began attacking, then destroying each other. After that, both Pandora and Yugi used their spell cards Monster Reborn to bring back their Dark Magician. Yugi showed a gaming smirk while Pandora showed a face of annoyance.

"DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOUR DARK MAGICIAN AND MINE?" Yugi asked aloud as Pandora looked at him with pure annoyance. "YOU CHEAT, CUT YOUR CARDS, AND MISTREAT YOUR MONSTERS IN ORDER TO GET YOUR WAY! MAHAD CHOSE ME AS HIS MASTER, NOT YOU!"

"MAHAD? DARK MAGICIAN IS JUST A CARD!" Pandora glared factually.

"HE'S ALSO MY SOUL CARD! HE CHOSE ME AS HIS MASTER! WE HAVE A BOND THAT YOU CAN NEVER UNDERSTAND!"

"WE'LL SEE ABOUT THAT!" Pandora cried out. "I place one card face-down and end my turn!"

"I also place two face-down cards!"

"Now I play my spell card Beckon to the Dark! This will go after your Dark Magician!" Pandora declared as a giant arm appeared on the field and was on its way toward Dark Magician.

"I WON'T LET YOU!" Yugi glared as he revealed his trap card. "Mystical Rift Panel! Now I'll attack you with your very own spell card!"

"NOT SO FAST, YUGI!" Pandora cried out as he activated his trap card. "Nightmare Chains!"

Yugi stared in horror as he watched his Dark Magician strapped in chains against a wooden fence. Yugi screamed, "NO MAHAD!"

"Don't worry about me, Master!" Dark Magician said with bravery on his face.

"DARK MAGICIAN CAN ONLY WATCH AS I TORTURE HIS MASTER TO HIS DEATH!" Pandora cried and laughed manically.

"MAHAD!" Yugi cried toward his soul card.

"Focus on defeating him! Don't worry about me!" Dark Magician said as Yugi stared nervously at his hand.

"He'll be fine! Focus on the issue at hand!" Atem said as Yugi looked back at his brother, then nodded.

"Now, I'll have my Dark Magician attack you directly!" Pandora declared with wild eyes as his Dark Magician blasted Yugi and his life points stooped down to 1500. He could hear the blade zooming toward his legs.

"MASTER!" Dark Magician cried out, struggling out of the chains.

"Don't worry! I'm fine!" Yugi assured.

"But for how long?" Atem asked with fright in his voice.

"THIS WILL TURN INTO THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH!" Pandora announced loudly, spreading his hands wide.

"I summon Big Shield Guardna in defense mode!" Yugi declared as Big Shield Guardna appeared in a defense position with a shield in front of it.

"You think you can hide in your little shield?" Pandora smirked evilly before laughing manically. "I summon Malice Doll of Demise in attack mode!" A maniacal doll appeared, which gave Yugi the creeps.

"Not only does he watch the Saw, but Child's Play as well," Atem smirked mockingly. "Is there not one horror movie pun to this duel?"

"Now to use my spell card Ectoplasmer!" Pandora smirked as Yugi gasped. "This makes it to where I can inflict damage equal to whatever monster I sacrifice! Such a small price to pay!"

"He's going to sacrifice his monsters!" Atem glared.

"I sacrifice Doll of Demise and use its life points to attack you directly!" Pandora declared as ghostly ectoplasm emerged from Doll of Demise and punched right at Yugi and his life points. He was now left with 700 life points left. The blade began driving closer to his death.

"YUGI!" Atem cried aloud. He didn't care that his legs were chopped off, but Yugi would have to endure that pain and if his own body was gone, so would Yugi's life, since he needed a body. Atem couldn't bare to let his brother be tortured like this anymore, not like he didn't have a choice whether they switched or not.

"DO YOU KNOW WHY YOU CAN'T DEFEAT ME? BECAUSE YOU ARE TOO SOFT! YOU'D RATHER PROTECT YOUR PRECIOUS DARK MAGICIAN RATHER THAN ACTUALLY USE HIM AND NOW HE'S TRAPPED WITH NO WAY OUT! YOU ARE A FOOL, YUGI!" Pandora declared as he laughed so evilly.

"I PROTECT HIM, BECAUSE HE'S MY FRIEND AND FRIENDS ALWAYS PROTECT EACH OTHER!" Yugi argued while his Dark Magician stared at him with fear and worry.

"AS I SAID, YOU ARE A FOOL!" Pandora smirked wildly. "DARK MAGICIAN, GIVE YOUR LIFE, SO I CAN FINISH THIS LITTLE PEST OFF!" Pandora's Dark Magician's attack points were completely depleted and it was left weak as the rest of the attack changed into ectoplasm and rose above Pandora. "FINISH HIM!"

"YUGI!" Mokuba cried.

"NOOOOOO!" Seto cried out, feeling so helpless that he couldn't save his friend. He would never forgive this creep if anything happened to Atem or any part of him, even if his alter ego was involved. Seto felt hatred and vengance growing while watching the ectoplasm about to reach Atem.

"I guess this is... goodbye?" Yugi muttered as a tear slowly rolled down his left eye.

Then, ectoplasm appeared from Yugi's Dark Magician and flew in front of Yugi in a protective position, then formed into a ghostly version of Yugi's Dark Magician.

"NO!" Dark Magician cried as Yugi gasped, his eyes flying open. "I WON'T LET YOU HURT MY FRIEND!"

The ectoplasm hit Yugi's Dark Magician instead, protecting Yugi from any onslaught. Even Seto was horrifically shocked by this, yet wasn't surprised why this happened. Seto knew in his heart if that were Kisara, she would've done the same. One thing that Pandora could never understand was the fact that Dark Magician and Yugi shared a close bond that could never be broken by anyone or anything.

"No way," Mokuba whispered, watching the whole scene.

Pandora stood there in shock. Even though neither player could barely hear what they were saying, Pandora could see that Yugi never moved his lips to command his Dark Magician to protect him. It was as if Dark Magician had a mind of his own. Yugi looked at Dark Magician's ectoplasm in awe as he watched his close friend slowly disappear into smoke.

"Mahad," Yugi muttered as the magician slowly disappeared. "I will not let your sacrifice be in vein."

"VERY WELL, LET'S CONTINUE SHALL WE?" Pandora glared before peering at his cards. "I place one card face-down and end my turn!" He then showed a devious smirk. "I KNOW FOR A FACT YOU DON'T HAVE ANOTHER DARK MAGICIAN IN YOUR DECK, BUT I HAVE TWO MORE! FACE IT, YUGI, YOU CANNOT WIN!"

"WE'LL SEE ABOUT THAT!" Yugi glared before drawing his next card. "I summon Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts in attack mode!"

"Then I unleash my trap, Devil's Scales!" Pandora said as a scale-like Venus Fly Trap appeared on the field. "This weighs the number of monsters you have and makes them equal to mine and since I have no monsters, yours are wiped from the field!" Devil's Scales took Yugi's monsters on one side of the scale, and then crunched them, destroying them. Yugi had no monsters left on the field. "Now that you have no monsters on the field. The only hope you've got are those spells or traps and I know just how to take care of that little problem!" Pandora smirked as he played his spell card. "I play Anti-Magic Arrows! This destroys any face-down cards!" Yugi gasped as he saw arrows stab through his folded cards. "Now, I play my other spell card Dark Magic Curtain by paying half my life points to special summon my second Dark Magician!"

"NO!" Atem gasped as he saw a dark curtain appear on Pandora's field and Dark Magician appeared brave and bold on the field.

"FINISH HIM!" Pandora declared as his Dark Magician waved his wand and ready to strike the rest of Yugi's life points.

"What should we do?" Yugi asked in panic.

"I don't know, I..." Atem replied, filled with panic, then he felt something inside him.

"Let me help!" a mysterious voice cried to Atem. He gasped and knew that voice anywhere.

"Yugi, let me take over! I have an idea!" Atem cried out as Yugi nodded and changed into his brother.

All of a sudden, a dark curtain appeared on Atem's field, which gave Pandora a gasped. Seto and Mokuba rose two eyebrows, wondering what was happening. Dark Magician was in the graveyard, so there was no way that Yugi could summon him back, unless he had two Dark Magicians like Pandora. What was going on?

"What?" Pandora gasped in horror.

"I'LL BE CONTINUING FROM HERE! YUGI'S NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO POSSESSES A SOUL CARD! YOU ALREADY KNOW YUGI'S SOUL CARD IS DARK MAGICIAN, SO NOW IT'S TIME TO SHOW YOU MINE!" Atem declared with a deep smirk up his lips as he paid half his life points.

"B-BUT THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE! YOU ONLY HAVE ONE DARK MAGICIAN!"

"I NEVER SAID I WAS SUMMONING DARK MAGICIAN!"

"BUT DARK MAGIC CURTAIN ONLY REQUIRES YOU TO SUMMON A DARK MAGICIAN!" Seto cried out in confusion.

"A DARK MAGICIAN TYPE!" Atem corrected as Seto furrowed his eyebrows in curiosity to figure out what his friend was talking about. "IT'S TIME FOR ME TO INTRODUCE TO YOU A PUPIL OF MAHAD'S!" The dark curtains flew open and from the curtains came a beautiful blond young girl with a blue and pink dressy outfit, boots, and a wand in her hand. She held bright green eyes and a perky personality. Seto was wondering if he was at a modeling convention or not.

"Damn, she's hot!" Mokuba blurted out.

"THIS IS DARK MAGICIAN GIRL, BUT I CALL HER MANA!" Atem smirked as Dark Magician Girl hovered over the field.

"D-Dark Magician Girl?" Pandora squeaked, then noticed the life point differences. "BUT SHE HAS 2000 ATTACK POINTS WHILE DARK MAGICIAN HAS 2500!"

"YES, BUT HER SPECIAL ABILITY KICKS IN! HER ATTACK POINTS RISE TO 500 PER DARK MAGICIAN IN EITHER GRAVEYARD, INCLUDING YOURS!" Atem said as Pandora gasped and watched Dark Magician Girl's attack rise by 1000, making the attack 3000. Since there were two Dark Magicians in Atem's and Pandora's graveyard, Dark Magician Girl's attack grew higher than Pandora's second Dark Magician. Dark Magician attacked Dark Magician Girl, but she deflected it back to it and destroyed it. Pandora stared at Atem in horror. "DARK MAGICIAN GIRL, FINISH HIM!"

"With pleasure!" Dark Magician Girl smirked as she blasted Pandora and the rest of his life points. She turned her head and gave a small wink. "We did it, partner." Then laid a small kiss on Atem's cheek before disappearing.

'It's a good thing Joey's not here or he'd never see the end of this,' Atem thought in his mind.

"I know I sure won't," Yugi replied while chuckling.

"Shut up!" Atem shouted, but not before noticing the box from below his feet open to retrieve the key needed for his escape. He quickly unlocked the shackles from his ankles while the blade began buzzing toward Pandora's feet.

"NO! HELP ME! HELP ME, PLEASE!" Pandora begged as the blade began moving toward his direction and Seto and Mokuba quickly ran to Pandora's position.

"SETO CATCH!" Atem cried out while throwing the key to Seto before he caught it and quickly unlocked Pandora's shackles, then pulling him from the saw, thus saving his life. The blades then automatically turned off.

"That was too close," Mokuba said, panting.

"Congratulations, you managed to escape from nearly getting yourself killed!" Seto shouted at Atem.

"You were scared, weren't you?" Atem smirked teasingly.

"NO!" Seto replied with anger in his eyes before Atem chuckled, then slapped his friend on the back.

"I love you too," Atem teased as Seto gave him an annoying glare, which then turned to a smile.

"You kinda gave me a heart attack too!" Mokuba cried out.

"At least your voice isn't sore," Atem said before clearing his throat. "That duel was seriously f***ed up."

"I know!"
