"It's my move pharaoh, so I'll start by activating Monster Reborn to bring back my Jack's Knight." Yugi said calmly. "Now I activate the magic card Polymerization to fuse King's Knight with Queen Knight and Jack's Knight."

"Yugi, what are you doing?" Yami asked nervously.

"I'm wiping you out." Yugi said coldly. "I summon Arcana Knight Joker, and thanks to the Seal of Orichalcos his attack points increase to 4300. Now destroy Isis, God of Egypt."

"I activate another of Isis, God of Egypt's special abilities." Yami said quickly. "I pay half my life points to negate her destruction."

"Fine, you still won't be able to destroy Arcana Knight Joker so I'll end my turn." Yugi said coldly.

Yugi 4000 Yami 1300: "It's my move." Yami said. "Yugi, this duel is over."

"What are you talking about?" Yugi asked nervously.

"I activate the final ability of Isis, God of Egypt." Yami said. "In exchange for removing a magic card from my graveyard from the game I can activate a magic card from your deck."

"What magic card could possibly help him win this duel?" Crow asked. "I mean even if he used Magic Formula to increase Isis, God of Egypt's attack points it still isn't strong enough to beat Arcana Knight Joker's 4300."

"No, there is one card that can end the duel." Joey said.

"Joey's right, he won." Yusei said. "The only question is did winning this duel get that Yugi back?"

"I don't know, but we'll have to see what happens." Angel said quietly.

"Hold on, there isn't any magic card that can help you win the duel." Yugi said.

"Are you sure?" Yami asked. "I activate your Brain Control to take control of Arcana Knight Joker, and next I switch Isis, God of Egypt into attack mode."

"Then the duel is over, congratulations pharaoh." Yugi said. "You win."

"Arcana Knight Joker and Isis, God of Egypt wipe out Yugi's life points." Yami said as he won the duel.

"Well done, you passed the test." the cloaked figure said.

"Test, what do you mean?" Yami asked as Yugi faded away.

"You had to conquer your own demons that were born when you used the powers of the Orichalcos." the cloaked figure said calmly. "Had you been defeated in this duel you would have never been able to defeat Dartz."

"I take it you know him personally?" Sky asked.

"Yes, I served under him ten thousand years ago. Dartz was the king of Atlantis and he led our people to prosperity." the cloaked figure said. "That is until the cursed stone appeared."

"You mean the Orichalcos don't you?" Jack asked. "Just what is that thing anyway?"

"I'm not entirely sure myself, however what I do know is that once the Orichalcos arrived Dartz changed, and then they arrived." the cloaked figure stated. "Horrible monstrous creatures bearing the Seal of Orichalcos on their body killed everyone they found."

"Well, it seems an old acquaintance of mine is speaking with the chosen duelists." Dartz said calmly.

"Should I go and deal with them master Dartz?" Valon asked with a smirk.

"Not this time, I have something else in mind." Dartz said placing a card in the center of an engraving of the Seal of Orichalcos. "This creature will suffice for the time being."

"Of course." Valon said calmly.

"I wonder how they will handle a duel with him, soon enough the great Leviathan will return."

"Kuribon, what's going on?" Luna asked nervously.

The moment Luna said that, something roared as a green glow appeared.

"No, that sound can only mean one thing." the cloaked figure said fearfully.

"What are you talking about, what does it mean?" Joey asked.

"One of those creatures is coming." the masked man said just before a figure in green armor appeared wearing a duel disc.

"What is that?" Leo asked in shock.

"That's a soldier of the Orichalcos, and if it's here we are in grave danger." the cloaked figure said. "Quickly we must get away from here."

"Where exactly do you expect to go?" Jack asked. "I don't see anything we can run too and besides, a true duelist faces his opponents head on."

"Jack has a point." Crow said with a grin. "Mind if I take care of it?"

"I had a feeling you'd say that, just make sure you don't lose Crow." Jack said sarcastically.

"Please, I'll take care of this guy in no time." Crow said with a smirk.

"You have no idea what you're up against." the cloaked figure said urgently before Crow activated his duel disc.

"Good, he has no idea what it's up against either." Crow said only for the cloaked figure to reveal a crimson stone before shattering it releasing a red fog that dispersed to reveal the group had disappeared.

"What's going on, how did we get here?" Joey asked in confusion.

"That stone, what was it?" Jack asked.

"It's one of the only ways known to counter the Orichalcos Stone. The Great Leviathan sunk Atlantis below the waves, but not before a dragon of crimson light managed to shield the rest of the world from the Orichalcos." the cloaked figure said. "If it wasn't for the light of that dragon there's no telling what could have happened."

"You mean the Crimson Dragon." Yusei said.

"Exactly, those marks on your arms must mean you have a connection to that great creature." the cloaked figure said. "Which means you all may be the only chance the world has to stop Dartz and his insane plan of resurrecting the Great Leviathan."

"Yeah but we already knew that." Joey said. "That's why Yugi, Kaiba, and I these dragon cards."

"There's more to it than that young man, those dragons were the guardians of Atlantis. Without all three of them there is no hope of stopping Dartz and the Great Leviathan." the cloaked figure explained. "Even with them there's no guarantee you will succeed."

"You don't need to worry about that, we'll back them up with dragons of our own." Crow said with a grin.

(Yami managed to defeat Yugi and a cloaked figure has explained the origins of Dartz and the Orichalcos. Next chapter two duels will begin. As always any reviews or critique is appreciated.)
