Episode 133: It's Time to Duel On! Part 2

The Realm Outside of Time

Yuni and Yugi are having their ceremonial duel, both sides of the field are empty except for a facedown Spell or Trap on Yuni' side. Yuni has just ended his turn. Yugi says, "I see what you're trying to do. You are trying to keep me off guard by using your new summoning methods against me. But let me tell you something, if I let stuff like that intimidate me, then I would never have gotten where I am today. I don't care what kind of bizarre monsters you have, I'll stop them anyway!"

Yuni grins. "And that's one of the things I like most about you; your determination. I don't know if I could have made it where I am today without it."

Yugi draws. "Allow me to show you some more of it then!"

Yuni comments, "Now that your next turn has begun, my Cyber-Tech Time Traveler (Light/Rank 6/Psychic/Xyz/ATK 2600/DEF 2300) (OVL: 0) and your Valkyrion the Magna Warrior (Earth/Level 8/Rock/Effect/ATK 3500/DEF 3850) return to the field." The monsters appear exactly as they disappeared in the previous turn.

Yugi nods. "Welcome back. Now, I activate the Pot of Greed and draw two cards!" Yugi draws his cards. "And I drew a great card too! I activate the Black Luster Ritual! From my hand I tribute the Dark Magician of Chaos so that I may summon the mighty Black Luster Soldier (Earth/Level 8/Warrior/Ritual/ATK 3000/DEF 2500)!" A ritualistic pyre appears on Yugi's field, and from it emerges the Black Luster Soldier.

Yuni looks at the monster and thinks, The Chaos is strong in this one…It's certainly no coincidence that Yugi uses the original form of the Envoy of the Beginning.

Yugi commands, "Black Luster Soldier, attack Yuni's Cyber-Tech Time Traveler, Chaos Blade!" Black Luster Soldier leaps into the air and brings its sword plunging down into Yuni's only monster, destroying it (Yuni's LP: 3100). "Now Valkyrion the Magna Warrior, finish this duel off, Magna Saber Slash!"

Yuni states, "Come on Yugi, you know as well as I do that it's never going to be that easy. I activate my facedown card, Cyber Regeneration! I can only activate this card since you destroyed my Cyber-Tech Time Traveler and I have only one card in my hand, but it allows me to negate your attack and then draw a card!" the attack of Valkyrion is halted and Yuni draws.

"I never expected it to be that easy. I'm glad I was right. I end my turn (Yugi's hand: 0)."

Yuni draws another card. "Yugi, the showcase of future cards isn't over yet! In my Left Pendulum Zone I place Cyber-Tech Tick (Left Pendulum Scale: 4) and in my Right Pendulum Zone I place Cyber-Tech Tock (Right Pendulum Scale: 8)!" Pillars of light appear on either side of Yuni, and his specially-created Pendulum Monsters appear.

Yugi questions, "And these are?"

"Pendulum Monsters are Monster-Spell hybrids that allow for quick summoning. I'll show you, but first I'll activate the second effect of Cyber Regeneration. Since I once again have only one card in my hand, I can add two Cyber monsters from my grave to my hand. I'll take back Cyber-Tech Flora and Cyber-Tech Healer. Now, on to the Pendulum Summon. Since I have a Scale Four and a Scale Eight Pendulum Monster, I can summon any number of monsters with levels between their scales from my hand! Go, Pendulum Summon! I summon Cyber-Tech Flora (Earth/Level 6/Plant/Effect/ATK 1900/DEF 2400), Cyber-Tech Healer (Light/Level 6/Spellcaster/Effect/ATK 2400/DEF 2600), and Cyber-Tech Behemoth (Dark/Level 7/Fiend/Effect/ATK 2500/DEF 1700)!" The final monster to be summoned is a massive, hulking beast. It is armored in cybernetic plates.

"It certainly is a way to summon monsters quickly, but none of your monsters are strong enough to take on mine."

There's one more thing you don't know about Pendulum Monsters. While in the Pendulum Zone, they can activate their powerful Pendulum Effects. The effect of Cyber-Tech Tick increases the strength of each of my monsters by 300 for every Pendulum Summoned monsters on the field (Flora's ATK: 2800) (Healer's ATK: 3300) (Behemoth's ATK: 3400)."

"That's still not enough."

"And I'm still not done. You see, the Cyber-Tech Behemoth doesn't like it when he's not the strongest monster on the field, so he can absorb the attack that any monster on the field has gained attack points beyond its original, and force it into Defense Mode. I'll use the effect on my own Cyber-Tech Flora." Cyber-Tech Flora is switched to a defensive position and energy is drained from it (ATK: 1900). Conversely, Cyber-Tech Behemoth grows stronger (ATK: 4300). "Now my monsters are strong enough. Cyber-Tech Behemoth, attack Valkyrion the Magna Warrior!" Yuni's monster smashes Yugi's into pieces (Yugi's LP: 1400). "Great, now Cyber-Tech Healer attack the Black Luster Soldier!" With a spell, the mage destroys Yugi's soldier (Yugi's LP: 1100).

Yugi nods in admiration. "You are a powerful and skilled duelist. I will give you that."

Yuni grins back. "I was trained by the best. Now, at the end of my turn, the attack boost from Cyber-Tech Tick goes away, as well as Behemoth's boost (Behemoth's ATK: 2500) (Healer's ATK: 2400) (Yuni's hand: 0)."

Yugi declares, "You are a worthy opponent, so worthy in fact that I am going to put all of my faith into the Heart of the Cards for this next draw." He prepares to draw, but then is suddenly assaulted with a new vision. This one is quick. It takes place during Yuni's duel with Apep, right before he performed his first Chaos Draw. Yuni is despairing that he's going to lose, and Yugi suggests, Then you better believe in the Heart of the Cards, and then maybe you can draw what you need.

Yuni says back to him, How many times must I tell you? That is only a philosophy, it won't actually help me.

The vision ends. Yugi looks to Yuni and asks, "Tell me, you don't believe in the Heart of the Cards, do you?"

Yuni sighs and admits, "Not really. I've always looked at it as a nice idea, maybe even a philosophy to live by. But it having an actual effect on the duel…never."

Yugi nods. He then closes his eyes and draws. Upon seeing the card he drew, he smiles and declares, "Well then, I guess the fact that I drew this card is just pure luck. I activate Card of Sanctity!" Yuni gaps. "You seem to already know what this card does. We now both draw cards until we have six cards in our hands." Yuni draws. Yugi prepares to draw, but before he does he states, "Shall we test your theory about the Heart of the Cards as philosophy further?" Yugi draws six cards. Yugi grins. "It would appear that the Heart of the Card has repaid me for my faith in it. I activate Monster Reborn! This mighty spell brings back a monster from my Graveyard, such as the Dark Magician Girl I discarded earlier (Dark/Level 6/Spellcaster/Effect/ATK 2000/DEF 1700)!" The Dark Magician Girl appears and strikes a pose.

Brutus goes weak at the sight of her. He practically squeals in excitement, "It's the Dark Magician Girl!"

Tori teases, "Does someone have a crush?"

Brutus quickly regains his composure and denies, "No, not at all. What are you talking about?" He does blush though.

Yugi continues, "Then I activate the Sage's Stone! This card brings the Dark Magician out to join his apprentice (Dark/Level 7/Spellcaster/Normal/ATK 2500/DEF 2100)!" A mystical stone appears next to Dark Magician Girl. In a surge of energy, it transforms into the Dark Magician. "Then I equip my Dark Magician with the spell Thousand Years of Mastery. By tributing my Dark Magician equipped with this card, I can advance the clocks by 1000 years and summon the Dark Sage (Dark/Level 9/Spellcaster/Effect/ATK 2800/DEF 3200)!" An older and wiser form of the Dark Magician appears. "That doesn't finish things for me though, because I now activate the Dark Sage's effect to add any Spell Card from my deck to my hand. I add the Spell Fusion Recharge, which I'll activate. This card allows me to add one Polymerization and one monster that can be used as a Fusion Material from my grave to my hand. I'll take back the Dark Magician and activate that Polymerization! I fuse Dark Magician with the Buster Blader in my hand in order to summon the mighty Dark Paladin (Dark/Level 8/Spellcaster/Fusion/ATK 2900/DEF 2400)!" Out of the fusion vortex Yugi's blade-wielding, dragon-slaying magician appears. "And to keep things moving, I activate the effect of the Dark Disciple in my graveyard. By banishing it, I can Special Summon a Dark Magician monster from my graveyard. Return once more, Dark Magician! Then, I increase the power of my magician once more by the magic of Dedication through Light and Darkness! I tribute the Dark Magician in order to summon the Dark Magician of Chaos (Dark/Level 8/Spellcaster/Effect/ATK 2800/DEF 2600) from my graveyard!" Two orbs, one of Light, and the other of Darkness begin to rotate around the Dark Magician. The monster then absorbs both, and transforms into its Chaos form. "In one final move, I activate the effect of the Dark Magician of Chaos, which adds a Spell Card from my graveyard back to my hand. I return Monster Reborn and use it to revive the Dark Magician one last time!"

Yugi's move has left everyone stunned and speechless. Tori breaks the silence by asking in awe and disbelief, "How…is that possible…?"

Brutus then asks, "Did he really just go from having one card in his hand to summoning five Dark Magician monsters in one turn?"

Kaiba comments, "That's Yugi for you."

Atem grins and says, "You've only grown that much better since we've separated."

Yuni is stunned and speechless as well. He finally manages to say, "Impressive, but that doesn't scare me."

Yuni grins slyly. "I've still got one card left in my hand." Everyone gasps. "The one card I have left is the ultimate spell of dark magic. I activate Supreme Dark Magic Attack! Since I control a field of Dark Magician monsters, I can activate this mighty card. Now each of my magicians combine their strength together and unleash it all upon you in one devastating attack, destroying every card you control! I don't know what you were planning to stop me, but it's about to be destroyed! And so will you, because once your cards are destroyed, you'll take damage equal to the total Attack Points of all your monsters! That's enough to wipe you out!" The Dark Magician raises his staff and begins to charge for a Dark Magic Attack. The Dark Magician Girl then crosses her staff with his, adding her power. Then the Dark Magician of Chaos crosses his staff from the opposite side of Dark Magician Girl. Then both the Dark Sage and Dark Paladin cross their staves from opposite sides. The five staves all gather energy together, generating a massive orb of pure dark energy. Yugi then commands, "Go, Supreme Dark Magic Attack!" The magicians unleash their spell and launch the orb of dark energy into the sky above Yuni's field. The orb explodes, creating an incredible shockwave of darkness that completely devastates Yuni's field.

Tori gasps, "Oh no, Yuni's lost!"

Brutus asks, "What happens if Yuni loses?"

Celestia responds, "Then we have failed. We cannot recruit Yugi to help us, and without him, there is no hope of victory."

The shockwave from the blast clears and Yuni is standing there, completely unharmed (Yuni's LP: 3100). Yuni declares, "Then it's a good thing I haven't lost."

Everyone gasps in surprise. Yugi nods, actually seeming pleased and amused. "How did you survive that attack?"

"While you might have been able to destroy every card I control and any card I might have been able to use to stop your attacks, you did not stop the cards in my hand. I discarded the Cyber-Tech Mage in order to stop any effect damage dealt to me this turn."

Tori and Brutus cheer, "Yeah Yuni!"

Yugi nods. It looks like Yuni has won some respect from him. "I see. If that's the case then I have no choice other than to end my turn, since I'm not allowed to attack the turn that activate Supreme Dark Magic Attack (Yugi's hand: 0)."

Before Yuni draws, he says, "Yugi, I may not believe in the Heart of the Cards, but there are other forces at work that I do believe in. Judging by the cards I drew from your Card of Sanctity, I'm betting that by those forces, this was destined to be a truly great duel. Now witness that power, as I do not need the Heart of Cards to draw the cards I need. Go, Chaos Draw!" Yuni's hand begins to glow with Light and Darkness, as does his deck. He swipes the top card of his deck up in a dramatic fashion. He looks to the card and nods. "You're not the only one with a deck of magician monsters. From my graveyard I banish the Cyber-Tech Mage to activate its second effect and add a Cyber-Tech Magician from my deck to my hand! Then, by banishing the Cyber-Tech Mystic I sent to my grave earlier, I can Special Summon the Cyber-Tech Magician (Dark/Level 7/Spellcaster/Effect/ATK 2500/DEF 2100) and add a Cyber-Tech Spellbook from my deck to my hand, such as the Cyber-Tech Spellbook of Mastery!"

Upon seeing Yuni's Magician, Yugi gasps. He is assaulted with visions of many of the times he and Yuni won a duel using it. He sees their first duel against Seto and their duel against Apophis, among others.

After the vision, Yuni continues, "Now, since I control the Cyber-Tech Magician, I can Special Summon the Cyber-Tech Apprentice (Dark/Level 6/Spellcaster/Effect/ATK 2000/DEF 1700). I equip her with the Cyber-Tech Spellbook of Mastery, and I equip the Cyber-Tech Magician with the Wisdom of Yugoha: Chronoton Staff (ATK: 3500)! Now I summon Cyber-Tech Mirror Mech (Light/Level 4/Machine/Effect/ATK 0/DEF 0)." The monster is a robot that's entire exterior is made of mirrors. "This robot mirrors one of my other monsters, actually becoming it." The monster transforms into a second Cyber-Tech Magician. "Now I activate the effect of the Chronoton Staff and increase the turn count by three! With that, the Cyber-Tech Apprentice has now been on the field for more than a turn while equipped with the Cyber-Tech Spellbook of Mastery and being on the field with the Cyber-Tech Magician, so I can tribute her in order to summon her upgraded form, the Cyber-Tech Magician Girl (Dark/Level 6/Spellcaster/Effect/ATK 2000/DEF 1700)! Also, my Mirror Mech Cyber-Tech Magician has been on the field for three turns, meaning I can evolve it!" He looks to Yugi and declares, "To borrow your own words that you haven't said yet, allow me to show you a summoning method that is actually original!" He then chants, "Listen now to the chant I recite! Come forth and bring me victory in this fight! Cyber-Tech Magician evolve and show me your true might! I summon Temporax, the Cyber-Tech Magician of Time (Dark/Level 9/Spellcaster/Evolution/ATK 3500/DEF 3100)!" The fake Cyber-Tech Magician transforms into the temporal magician. "But that's not all I'm evolving! I activate Celestial Advancement: Duality of Chaos in order to perform a Celestial Apex Evolution! Power of the Cosmos, come to me, grant me the power to protect Yugoha from its enemy! Chaos and Cosmos come together as one, increase the strength of my magician so this battle may be won! I summon Aeon, the Cyber-Tech Magician Guardian of Yugoha (Dark/Level 10/Spellcaster/Evolution/ATK 2500/DEF 2100)!" Yuni's next evolution of the Cyber-Tech Magician appears. It still wields the Chronoton Staff (ATK: 3500). "Don't think I'm through yet though, because I activate the Spell, Evolution Branch! This card summons a phantom form of one of a monster I've used as an Evolution Base, meaning I get yet another Cyber-Tech Magician! And by banishing the Light Attribute Cyber-Tech Healer and Dark Attribute Kuriborg from my grave, I can evolve it too! Go, Chaos Evolution! O, Will of Chaos, hear me plead, grant me the power that I need! White as day, black as night, Cyber-Tech Magician, unleash your might! I summon Discordon, the Cyber-Tech Magician of Chaos (Light/Level 9/Spellcaster/Evolution/ATK 3300/DEF 2900)!" After being engulfed by Light and Darkness, Yuni's final evolution of the Cyber-Tech Magician appears. "Now with the final card in my hand, I complete the set! I activate Evolution Reemergence! This card summons the Evolution Base out from underneath one of my Evolution monsters. Return to the field, Cyber-Tech Magician!" Now both sides of the field are filled by five of the strongest Spellcaster monsters in existence. The two sides appear equally matched in power and ability.

Now it is Yuni's move that has rendered everyone speechless. Finally Brutus speaks up and exclaims, "This is the most amazing duel ever!"

Yuni then says, "I haven't even applied the effect of my Cyber-Tech Magician Girl yet. Not only does she gain 500 Attack Points for every other Cyber-Tech Magician monster I control (ATK: 4000), but she also increases the attack of all my other Cyber-Tech Magicians by 500 as well (Cyber-Tech Magician's ATK: 3000) (Temporax's ATK: 4000) (Discordon's ATK: 3800) (Aeon's ATK: 3000)! Now, I think it's time we wrap this duel up."

Yugi looks over Yuni's assembly of magicians and nods. "Give me your all."

Yuni nods back. "Cyber-Tech Magician Girl, attack the Dark Magician Girl with Advanced Cyber Burning Attack!"

Yugi declares, "Counterattack with Dark Burning Attack!"

"Temporax, the Cyber-Tech Magician of Time, attack the Dark Sage with Temporal Burst!"

"Fight back with Eternal Magic!"

"Discordon, the Cyber-Tech Magician of Chaos, destroy the Dark Magician of Chaos with Yin-Yang Stream!"

"Block it with Chaos Scepter Strike!"

"Aeon, the Cyber-Tech Magician Guardian of Yugoha, launch your Eternity's Force upon the Dark Paladin!"

In a mighty battle of the magicians, each monster raises its staff, and attacks of magical energy are sent everywhere. However, each and every one of the attacks made by Yuni's magicians win out in the end.

Yuni grins. "There is only one battle left to be had."

Yugi grins as well. "The ultimate battle."

Yuni begins, "Cyber-Tech Magician…"

Yugi then declares, "Dark Magician…"

At the same time they command, "Cyber Magic Attack!" and "Dark Magic Attack!" respectively. The two magicians raise their staves and charge for one final attack. Both monsters attack at the exact same time, with nearly the exact same attack. The two attacks collide.

The moment they do, Yugi and Yuni are pulled into a vision of the past. They see a group of people. It's Princes Yu-Gi-Oh and Seto, Cosmo, Celestia, and Thoth. They all stand in front of a temporal gate more massive than any seen before it. Cosmo says to everyone the else, "The time is at hand to perform the ritual. Ottiuk may have been sealed away, but he will never be entirely defeated. The only way to make sure that we can face him every time he rears his dark power is to fracture your souls and send them across time. Are you sure you wish to undergo this process my princes?"

Both Yu-Gi-Oh and Seto nod. Yu-Gi-Oh says, "We have fought for much too long, and over nothing of any real value."

Seto continues, "It is because of us that the galaxy was brought to the breaking point. Now we must repent by becoming its guardians."

Cosmo nods. "Alright, in that case, I will use the great spell of Another Hope to split your souls, and the temporal gate to send them across time. Are you ready?"

Yu-Gi-Oh and Seto nod. Then behind them two monsters appear, the golden magician and the rainbow-eyed dragon. Yu-Gi-Oh asks his magician, "Why have you appeared old friend?"

The magician answers, "For the same reason that I always appear. To come to your aid and protect you. I will undergo the spell to and have my soul split. We will be reincarnated together, so that I may always protect you."

The dragon roars, seemingly to say it intends to do the same.

Yu-Gi-Oh and Seto nod at their monsters. Yu-Gi-Oh says, "It will make things better to have my most trusted companion at my side." Yu-Gi-Oh turns to Cosmo and says, "Alright, we are now ready."

Cosmo nods. He begins to chant something in an indecipherable language. A light envelops Yu-Gi-Oh, Seto, and their monsters. After a few moments of this light there is a massive flash. Floating before Cosmo is now sixteen figures. Timaeus and the Atlantis Magician, Atem and the Millennium Magician, Yugi and the Dark Magician, Yuni and the Cyber-Tech Magician, Critias and the Legendary Dragon of the Reliquary, Priest Seto and the Legendary White Dragon, Kaiba and the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, and Seto and the Cosmic Plasma Dragon. Cosmo says to all of them, "Good luck, and may the day come where you restore Yugoha to its former glory. Long live Yugoha!"

All of the fractured spirits shout back, "Long live Yugoha!" They are all then pulled into the temporal gate and scattered across time.

The vision ends, and the two attacks of the Dark Magician and Cyber-Tech Magician collide. The Cyber Magic Attack proves stronger and continues to destroy the Dark Magician (Yugi's LP: 0).

And before Yugi can recover from the vision he just had, he is assaulted by another round of visions, this one a rapid-fire look at his life with Yuni. First it's when Yuni first realized who Yugi was, right after their first duel with Seto. Yuni asks, Are you still there Yugi?

Yugi asks, How did you know who I am?

It was pretty obvious after you said to "believe in the Heart of the Cards", also I figured I was seeing one of your memories earlier.

Then he sees their discussion after their victory against Apep. Yuni thinks, I'm so glad this is all over with. Maybe now my life can go back to normal.

Yugi says, I wouldn't count on that. Think about what Apep said about the Grand Prophecy of Chaos.

Yeah, I guess so.

By the way Yuni, I'm proud of you.

Why?

Back in that duel. You trusted in the Heart of the Cards, and because of it you turned that duel around.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold the phone. The Heart of the Cards didn't do anything. That was the power of Chaos.

Think of it however you want, but I assure you, you were only able to pull that off because you first believed in the Heart of the Cards.

Whatever.

Then it's their reunion after Yuni's return from the Realm of Chaos. Yugi is in control of Yuni's body and glowing with the energy of the Millennium Items. He demands of Ruin, who is imprisoned in a Spellbinding Circle, "Now you will bring back Yuni!"

Ruin starts to chuckle under his breathe. He laughs harder and harder until he's laughing evilly.

Yugi demands, "What!? What is it!?"

Ruin stops laughing and says, "I never once told you that I could bring back Yuni!"

"What!?"

"Yeah, that's right. I can't. No one, save Lord Oblivion, has the power to return a mind banished to the Realm of Darkness. Besides, even if I had that power, it's been too long. After only a matter of days, the banished mind is stuck there permanently! Even Lord Oblivion couldn't return him! Yuni's gone forever!"

"What!? No!" Yugi looks down. A single tear falls from his eye.

On a platform above, Tori starts to cry, and Brutus says solemnly, "Yuni…no."

Yugi balls his hand into a fist. It violently starts to shake. Suddenly all of the energy flowing around Yugi ceases. It is all replaced by a red aura of energy. He yells, now with a monstrous voice overlaid with his, "You have caused me nothing but pain! You shall be destroyed! You will know the pain that you have put Yuni through! I banish your soul to the Shadow Realm!" Yugi holds his hand up towards Ruin.

Suddenly a voice in Yugi's head says, No Yugi! Don't give into the Darkness! Now more than ever, we must protect the Balance of Chaos!

Yugi drops his hand. The Spellbinding Circle around Ruin disappears. Ruin quickly disappears into the shadows. Tears start to pour from Yugi's eyes.

Brutus calls down, "What is it Yugi!?"

Yugi says meekly, "It's Yuni…he's back."

The next memory is of when he and Yuni first drew Another Hope in their duel with Oblivion. Yuni looks down solemnly. He thinks, He's right. There isn't anything I can do. Even the powers of Chaos won't help me here. A Chaos Draw would only get me Chaos Relic, which only works on Chaos monsters. I don't have any right now. I don't know if there's a single card in my deck that can put a stop to his dragon. All hope is lost.

Yugi asserts, Hope is not lost! Hope is never lost! There is always another hope!

As Yugi is saying this, the top card of Yuni's deck glows and sparkles a brilliant gold. Yuni is speechless. What…what is that? I'm not performing a Chaos Draw!

Draw Yuni, draw that card now!

Yuni slowly places his hand over the card. He takes a deep breath. Suddenly, five other hands also place their hands over his deck, on top of his hand. The new hands are transparent and ghostly. Yuni looks up in surprise. Floating in a circle around him are the spirits of Brutus, Zenith, Apep, and Yuni's parents, Ben and Jade. He gasps. "What's happening!?"

Apep answers in an echo-filled voice, "We are with you Yuni, all the way."

Brutus says in a similar voice, "You'd be crazy to think that I'd miss this duel."

Zenith nods and also speaks similarly, "Same here."

Yuni looks over to his parents. He smiles, looking overjoyed. "Mom, Dad, it's great to see you again."

His parents smile back. Jade says, "We'll always be there for you Yuni. We'll always stand by your side."

Ben nods and agrees, "You'll never be alone. Now why don't you draw that card and kick Oblivion's butt for us!"

Yuni smiles even wider. He says, "Together!" He draws the glowing card, along with all of his friends and family. As he's drawing it, it's shown to be the card Another Hope.

Next up is their defeat of New Yugohan Emperor Talok with Seto and Ma'at. Yuni begins, "Now Empyrean, attack the Interdimensional Deity-"

Seto and Ma'at join in and they all declare, "Cosmic Origin Bang!" Empyrean, the Sovereign Genesis Lord raises its arms slightly and begins to glow intensely. The fabric of space in the center of Interdimensional Deity twists in on itself, creating a singularity. The monster then implodes into this singularity, and after a quick moment, explodes in a tremendous flash of light and energy, describable only as a second Big Bang. The resulting explosion wipes out all 26,000 of Talok's life points.

Talok falls to his knees. "No…this…isn't…possible…" His own Soul Engine's barrier begins to encroach on him.

Yuni declares, "Yugoha is no longer yours! Today New Yugoha falls!"

Finally, it's Yugi and Yuni's last conversation before Yugi left Yuni's mind. Just before they step into the temporal gate, Yuni asks, How do you feel Yugi?

Actually, now that you mention it, I feel nervous.

Yuni grins. There's nothing to feel nervous about, you're with me. We handle this together, just like we always do.

Right, there's nothing that can stop the two of us when we put our minds together. They both laugh at his joke.

After a moment of silence, Yuni says, You know what Yugi? At first I kind of resented having you stuck in my head. It was almost annoying, but since then I've realized how great it actually is. I'm glad that lightning bolt stuck just when it did.

So am I.

With that, the visions cease. Yugi looks to Yuni, and his eyes go wide, realizing only now everything that Yuni means to him. He simply says, "Yuni…"

Yuni grins. "Do you remember me now Yugi?"

Yugi nods. "Yes…I remember everything…and I can't begin to tell you how great it is to see you face-to-face." Yugi looks around to everyone else and declares, "Now what are we waiting for? Let's get back to Earth and defeat Ottiuk once and for all!"

Everyone cheers at once in agreement.
