Hong Kong, China was the next place Davis and all the others have come to find the fifth mythic card. Right now Takuya and his group was looking around for it.

"Wow look at all these sweets and all these neat toys." Tommy said.

"Yeah it all looks good." Takuya said.

"Hey stay focus." Koji said.

"Yeah we should be getting some Hong Kong candy." J.P. said.

"No I mean we should be focusing on finding the mythic card." Koji said.

"Koji's right. After we find the mythic card then we can have time for games." Zoe said.

"You're friends are right Takuya." Emperorgreymon said. "Finding the mythic card is our top priority."

"Yeah I guess so." Takuya said.

"Hey guys come check this out." Koichi said. He ran over to him as he was standing over in front of a T.V. store and they saw a news story going on.

"Is something wrong?" Koji said.

"I don't know what it is they're saying, but it seems like they're talking about a statue they found. Check out what it looks like." Koichi said. The statue came up and it looked like Takuya as an armed warrior surrounded by a stone block.

"Whoa it's Takuya." J.P. said.

"Or maybe that's Ayukat. The barons did use to be human and Ayukat was my ancestor." Takuya said.

"If they're doing a news story it must have been just discovered." Koji said. "If each temple we've been too had something to do with a barons then we need to find out where they found that statue."

"Then we can find the mythic card." Zoe said.

"Maybe we don't need to. Takuya look at the bottom of the statue." Emperorgreymon said and when he did he saw a card shape in the stone block part of the statue.

"The mythic card is inside the statue." Takuya said.

The Museum

The statue was placed inside a glass case and when no one was around a baron portal opened up and Ayukat came through it facing the statue.

"So this is the statue? Why in the name of Baron World does it look like me?" Ayukat said. "This has to be some kind of joke." When he looked right at the face the eyes glowed a red color.

"I have waited for you."

"Did that piece of rock just talk? Wait, what's happening?" Ayukat said. Then a stream of energy left his mouth and went into the statue. "That was weird." However when he looked at himself he became the statue. "Wait, what happened?"

"I've switch our bodies around." He looked at his body as it was possessed by something else as it had red flame like pain around his eyes.

"Who are you? What did you do?" Ayukat said.

"My name is Flitz." He placed his hand against the case and the card in statue became undusted and went through the glass placed right into his hand.

"The mythic card was right in front of me the whole time. Boy I'm stupid." Ayukat said. "By the way what did you mean when you said you were waiting for me?"

"You don't remember my name, do you?" Flitz said, but before Ayukat could answer footsteps were heard heading towards them and they saw Takuya and the others walk in the room.

"The statue should be in here." Koichi said, but then they spotted Flitz in Ayukat's body.

"Ayukat, you're back?!" Takuya said.

"That's not me you fools, the real me is in this rock." Ayukat said.

"Wait that sounds like Ayukat." Zoe said.

"But if he's in that rock, then who are you?" Tommy said.

"That's none of your business." Flitz said, but then he looked at Takuya. "Hey you look just like him."

"Yeah I do, so what?" Takuya said.

"Listen to me Takuya, I know we're enemies, but you got to help me. Get my body back for me." Ayukat said.

"Why should I help you?" Takuya said.

"You want the mythic card don't you? This guy has it. Beat him and you get the card and I get my body back." Takuya said.

"Takuya, he may be our enemy, but he holds a good point." Emperorgreymon said. "We have to get the mythic card so we must duel this imposter."

"Alright then, whatever you are then you better get ready to duel." Takuya said.

"You want to duel? Well I do find it interesting since you look like him." Flitz said referring to Ayukat. "Okay you're on." They both activated their duel disk.

"Let's duel!" They both said having 4000LP.

"I'll go first here." Flitz said. "I summon Fire Arrow Phoenix in attack mode." A small phoenix like creature with an arrow for a beak flew up with 1100atk points. "Then I activate Phoenix Burning. This spell will deal 700 points of damage if I have a monster with phoenix in its name." Flames were shot and Takuya was brought to 3300LP. "Now Flame Arrow Phoenix can deal an additional 300 points of damage since you lost points." The phoenix shot an arrow of fire and hit Takuya as he was brought to 3000. "I place two face downs and end my turn."

"Okay it's my move." Takuya said.

"You better not lose this. I want my body back." Ayukat said.

"On second thought maybe I shouldn't help you." Takuya said.

"No, no. I'm sorry, please continue." Ayukat said.

"That's what I thought." Takuya said. "I summon Flame Leo." A lion with its flaming mane roar as it rose with 1600atk points. "Flame Leo attack his phoenix with Pouncing Burn." The lion jumped and bit down on the phoenix and Flitz was brought to 3500LP. "Yeah, your bird was my cat's snack. Now I use Flame Leo's special ability. When he destroys a monster I'm allowed to draw a card. I now place one face down and end my turn."

"My move. I'm going to start by activating my face down Rebirth Ash." Flitz said. "A phoenix is immortal, it can be brought back from the ashes. Now come back Fire Arrow Phoenix." His phoenix rose again. "Now I summon Human Phoenix Warrior." A human figure phoenix in yellow feathers came up with 1900atk points. "Now I activate Change Flames."

"What's that?" Takuya said.

"It's where I can change the type of one fire attribute to a different." Flitz said. "I change my wing beast Fire Arrow Phoenix into a tuner."

"A tuner!" Takuya said.

"That's right. I tune my level three Fire Arrow Phoenix with Human Phoenix Warrior." Flitz said. Fire Arrow Phoenix turned into three green circles and came around Human Phoenix Warrior. "I syncro summon Red Flame Phoenix." A red feathered phoenix emitting red aura came up with 2400atk points.

"Takuya that is the mythic card. Brace yourself." Emperorgreymon said.

"Red Flame Phoenix attack with Burning Scorch Dive." Flitz said. The phoenix dived down in a giant red flame.

"I activate my face down, Fire Wall Secure." Takuya said. "Now when I fire attribute monster on my field is being attack I can give it an extra 1000atk points." Flame Leo's points went to 2600 and destroyed the phoenix and Flitz was brought to 3300.

"That was almost too easy." Emperorgreymon said.

"I end my turn and because it's the end phase of a turn then my Red Flame Phoenix can rise again to the field thanks to its special ability." Flitz said and the phoenix rose again. "I said a phoenix is reborn from its ashes. Red Flame Phoenix is immortal so no matter whose turn it is it will come back."

"So that bird will always come back." Takuya said.

"That's right, phoenixes are invincible." Flitz said. "I should know because you see I was once a phoenix myself."

"What?" Zoe said.

"He was a phoenix?" Tommy said.

"That's right and it's because of this man that I was trapped in that statue." Flitz said.

"What are you talking about? I've never seen or heard of you in my entire life." Ayukat said.

"So you don't remember. The pain you caused me and you were once my friend." Flitz said.

"What is he talking about?" Emperorgreymon said.

"I don't know. With an anger towards Ayukat and a monster that can come back no matter what, I think we're about to get burn." Takuya said.

"You got that right. Get ready to know what a true phoenix can really do." Flitz said.
