*TMP TMP TMP!*

The remaining friends were running down a lost path toward an unknown destination, not having a clue where they were going. Except for Yami. He knew where Jonouchi and Usagi could be, though he isn't sure if he's right.

"This way!," Yami shouted as he turned to the left, "We have to hurry!"

"Are you sure we're going the right way?," Honda huffed out.

"Do you know where those two are, Yami?," Anzu asked.

"No... Not exactly... But a vision flashed in my mind and both Jonouchi and Usagi are underground!"

After sprinting past a couple of battle boxes, they found themselves in a plain area of the forest. In front of them stood a big and dark cave, somehow making the group of friends shiver as a cold wind embraced them as soon as they entered. The wind didn't made them shiver with coldness but with fright.

"Jonouchi...! I'm coming!," Yami stated in his mind.

"To the cave guys! Jonouchi and Usagi has gotta be here!," Honda ordered, sprinting to the depths of the cave with everyone else following him.

While the friends were rushing to find them, Jonouchi was barely keeping up with the duel. Every monster he had played onto the field in defense mode have been slaughtered by the zombie army. One by one, getting killed like livestock. Usagi tried her best to encourage Jonouchi to keep playing the game with no worries after hearing Yami's message. He heard but didn't respond.

"Hahahaha! Why don't you give up already?," Kozuka laughed as he destroyed another monster, "You're not getting anywhere near winning! You can't beat me! Let alone the three of us!"

Jonouchi took a deep breath to control his focus. He then placed another card in defense position to stall Ghost Kozuka in the meantime.

"Jonouchi, please don't lose hope...," Usagi uttered anxiously, "I know Yugi will be here soon... Just try to do your best!"

He turned over and shrugged.

"I heard ya, Usako. I heard ya... But how can I possibly land an attack to those unbeatable zombies if they can't die...?," Jonouchi thought sadly.

Ghost Kozuka enjoyed watching his weak opponent slump in despair, having absolutely no chance of winning against him.

"Hahaha! Every turn you defend yourself, my zombies will keep growing with attack points, and you'll eventually run out of cards to play! You lose! Give up!!"

"Shit... he's got a point... I'm already half way through my deck and I can only keep defending myself with weak monsters. My hand doesn't have a single card to beat any of those zombies...!!"

Bandit Keith scoffed and fixed his sunglasses to get a better look at the failing duelist.

"Heh heh... How long can you delay the end, kid? I put a "Stop Defense" card in Kozuka's deck... Once he draw that card, it's all over for you...!!," he thought maliciously.

"It's my turn! I draw a new card!!," Kozuka announced happily as he drew his card.

*TADA!*

"Yes! It's the card I need to stop Jonouchi from playing anymore defense!"

"Oh no! It's that card!!," Usagi gasped in fear.

Ghost Kozuka giggled childly and placed the trap card on the back row, alerting Jonouchi it's the card he's been fearing throughout the entire duel.

"Hehehe! Go ahead and play another monster, Jonouchi! As soon as you do, it'll trigger my "Stop Defense" trap card, forcing you to change your monster into attack mode!!"

"Guh...!"

"And now for my attack...!! Go, "Dragon Zombie!" Kill his useless monster once more!!"

*MRAAA!!*

Another monster was sent to the graveyard in a pile of ashes. Was there really no way to kill the undead?

"Hahahaha!," Keith laughed with the others, "The moment you pronounce "defense," the card will activate and your boring stalling will be no more! No go ahead! Play your next card!"

"Yugi... where are you...?"

*RUSH!*

Jonouchi began have doubts fogging his mind, but thankfully his friends were rushing to him and Usagi as fast as they could before those thoughts actually affected his dueling spirit. They shouted their names endlessly and kept going through many tunnels in the dark cave.

"Jonouchi! Usagi! Where are you guys?," Anzu and Bakura hollered, hearing their voices echoing down the depths of the cave.

"Damn it! This cave is a literal maze! There's fork paths again!," Honda yelled in frustration.

"We have to find them!"

They chose a shallow tunnel but it only led them to a dead end. Anzu felt something hard as she took a step and it made a strange crunch sound. She stepped in one of the skulls of the cave.

*Crunch!*

"Eeek!! Th-Those skulls—they look so real! Wh-Where are we?!," Anzu shrieked.

"Crud! There's no way Jonouchi could be okay if he's stuck in a place like this! He could be dueling a cannibal caveman!," Honda stated, suddenly remembering that Usagi was with him too, "Aw fuck! That means Usagi isn't okay either! C'mon! We gotta find them pronto!"

As they rushed out of the tunnel, Yami couldn't stop thinking the kind of danger Jonouchi was in.

"Jonouchi...! Don't give up! If you rid yourself of doubt, a light will shine into the cave of your heart!"

Remember the promise we made! We all have someone important to save! Grandpa, Usagi's beloved mother... and Shizuka!

Jonouchi and Usagi gasped as they heard Yami's voice echo through their ears again.

"His voice...! It came to us again!," Usagi thought, feeling enlighten just by thinking of his words. "Yami..."

"Usagi..."

She looked down at Jonouchi after he whispered her name to see what was up. To her surprise, Jonouchi's courage had finally came back as soon as she saw the bravery in his eyes, flaming with spirit that wasn't going out anytime soon.

"Usagi... remember the promise we made?"

"Yes... of course..."

"Well, I'm not gonna break it! I'll fight for my friends and my little sister! I will do anything to protect those I cherish!!"

Jonouchi continued his turn and drew his next card.

"Just as long I have the will to lift these cards, I'm still in the game!!!"

*DA-DOOM!!*

"And my card is "Red-Eyes Black Dragon!!"

Red-Eyes Black Dragon: ATK/2400 DEF/2000

Level: 7

The rare dragon emerged from the card, face to face with the "Great Pumpking." Everybody were totally off guard as the dragon appeared on the field with a strong force, similar to the one of "Blue-Eyes White Dragon!!"

"No fucking way! Where the hell did this kid get "Red-Eyes Black Dragon?!?," Keith blurted out in astonishment.

"Oh no! It's stronger than my "Pumpking!," Kozuka shrieked in fear.

"Heh... Now that I've came this far, I can't run away...," Jonouchi stated solemnly. "If I can't use my cards to defend, I'll go out in a blaze of glory!! Go, "Red-Eyes!!" Kill the pumpkin!! "Black Fire Bullet!!"

*BLAM!!*

"Long lives the king!!"

Ghost Kozuka: LP/900

"Tsk...! He managed to destroy my "Pumpking" with his dragon...! It was already undead to began with so the "Call of The Haunting" couldn't bring it back," Kozuka thought as he prepared for his next attack, "Feh... At least my zombies are strong enough to kill him! "Zombie Dragon!" Counter attack!!"

*MRAAA!!*

The grand entrance of "Red-Eyes Black Dragon" didn't last long because it was still defeated by the undead dragon. Jonouchi was devastated to see that even his best card was turn into waste.

"N-No... he got my best card...!!"

Jonouchi Katsuya: LP/150

"Ahahaha! It's over, Jonouchi," Keith declared with a chuckle.

Jonouchi didn't believe this was happening. He tried searching for a card in his hand but he only had one monster with low attack and to make things worse, he couldn't play it in defense mode.

"What do I do...?! Out of the three cards I have on my hand, I only have one monster...!! It's a bummer I can't play it in defense position!"

*Tap Tap!*

"Jonouchi..."

"...Huh...?"

Usagi smiled slightly and gave a comforting look to calm Jonouchi.

"Jonouchi... you can get through this...!"

The others laughed at the two for still having faith in winning.

"Hahaha! Just admit, Jonouchi! There's no way for you to win!," Keith shouted, banging on the glass with his fist while laughing, "C'mon! Like they say in the wild west—"draw!!"

"Yeah! Play a card and die, loser!," Satake commented.

*BA DUM!*

"Loser...? Did you just call me a loser?," Jonouchi murmured angrily. "Grr... don't call me that! I'm not... I'm not a loser!"

*WSH!*

He drew his next card, for which was the one to end the entertainment of Ghost Kozuka and the crooks. Jonouchi was rather surprised to have drawn the right card in the right moment.

"Sword and Shield!" This is the card I needed! Wait a minute... although every one of those zombies are high in attack, they're weak in defense! I gotta play this card... This is my last gamble!," Jonouchi thought carefully as he played his final monster on the field. "Alright! I play "Kung Fu Fighter" in attack mode! And for my grand finale... "Sword and Shield!!" Your monsters and mine switch our attack with defense!!"

Kung Fu Fighter: ATK/700 DEF/1000

Level: 4

Sword and Shield: Magic Card

Effect: Switch the attack and defense of all face-up monsters on the field.

Bandit Keith's jaw dropped after Jonouchi had played the one card that'll end his ultimate strategy.

*RM RM RM*

Dragon Zombie (Undead): ATK/2880»0

Clown Zombie (Undead): ATK/2565»0

Armoured Zombie (Undead): ATK/2700»0

"Oh no!! My zombies—what happened to their attack points?!?!," Kozuka yelled with a horrified expression.

"Shit... The undead can't be killed... but they don't have brains to think! They don't bother T protect themselves which is why their defense is zero! They can only attack instinctively! Now their attack are zero...!!"

"N-No... they're all in attack position...!!"

"Your monsters aren't the only ones who're affected by the magic card! My monster also switches its attack and it's more than enough to defeat you, Kozuka!," Jonouchi declared. "Go, "Kung Fu Fighter!" Kill his zombie! "Ultimate Screw Knuckle!!"

Kung Fu Fighter: ATK/700»1000

*KAWHAM!!*

Ghost Kozuka: LP/0

Winner: Jonouchi Katsuya

"Fuck... they were all in attack mode and Kozuka took all that battle damage... Kozuka! You fucking moron! You lost!"

Jonouchi sighed with relief and was finally able to catch a breath after the intense atmosphere in the box had cleared off.

"Did I just... win?"

"Yes, you did, Jonouchi! You won!," Usagi exclaimed happily.

At last, the remaining friends have finally found the hidden battle box Jonouchi was in and sprinted their way there. Yami immediately checked on him to see if he was fine. Anzu ran up to Usagi and hugged her with all her might.

"Usagi! I'm so glad you're okay!," Anzu noted as she let go of her.

"Jonouchi! Are you okay? What happened?," Yami asked, desperate to know that he didn't lose.

Jonouchi smiled and gave a thumbs up to Yami. With just that smile, Yami knew he had won the duel.

"I won on my own, Yugi! It was just luck again..."

"That doesn't matter. What truly matters is that you guys are alright," Yami stated. "Jonouchi, you've proven yourself to be an excellent duelist without our help!"

The blonde stepped out of the battle box to greet his friends after not seeing them for so long.

"Man, you guys should've seen what kind of combo I managed to pull off! Guess Usako has to tell you guys about it."

"Yeah! It was marvelous! Jonouchi did every single move on his own! I was there only to cheer him on but for everything else, he did it by himself!"

"Say, Jonouchi...," Honda interrupted, "This streak of good luck is something you better think about man... Do you ever worry that, ever since you came to the island, you've used up your luck for your whole life?"

"What?! That can't be!"

"Hm. Jonouchi's victory can't be put down on "luck" or a "miracle." The desperation to win... the concern for his burden... That is the strength of a true duelist!," Yami pondered.

As the ganged kept talking, the crooks and Bandit Keith walked away in such a slugish way. They felt embarrassed for being beaten by someone who didn't have as much experience in dueling as them. Bandit Keith seemed like he could explode any minute now.

"Hey, Bandit Keith!!," Jonouchi shouted, making his voice echo down the long tunnel.

"Bandit Keith?! The prize hunter that use to be famous in America?!"

The boss turned over to them and gave them all a gravely glare.

"Jonouchi...," Honda murmured, "You got to fight with these guys...?"

"No... it wasn't like I accepted their challenge...," he replied quietly, "They shanghaied both me and Usagi down here! Like a pack of hyenas chasing their prey! They even punched me once!"

Bandit Keith felt slightly stunned to hear Usagi's name and now his attention was fully on her.

"Hm? Did you just say "Usagi?" You mean that girl was cheering you on was Usagi Tsukino!?," he asked in a shocking tone.

He stared intensely at her and she hid behind Bakura again.

"You! Are you really called Usagi?," he demanded fiercely.

"Hey! Lower your voice! That's no way to get a girl's attention! Especially if you're demanding for it!," Bakura shouted back as he covered Usagi.

"Yeah! What's your problem man?," Honda yelled.

Bandit Keith had to relax himself a little to make sure he didn't lose his shit. Usagi shyly walked out of Bakura's shadow and looked back at Keith.

"Yes, that's me..."

"Tsk... so you're that one duelist Pegasus has told me about after my defeat... That damn foreigner said he would love to see me go against some kid like you."

"What?! Pegasus told you that about me?"

"Well, if I'm saying it, then it's fucking obvious, isn't it? I knew there was something familiar about you during the duel. Feh. So "Usako" is only your nickname?"

"Uh, I guess so..."

"Heh. At least you don't seem as stupid as your lucky friend over there. That win was merely a miracle."

"Grr! Bandit Keith!," Jonouchi protested in anger. "If you call yourself a duelist, then you should play fair next time!!"

"Bitch! Don't fucking tell me how to play, you rascal!," Keith shouted back." Ha! Don't make me laugh with your "play fair" nonsense! Card games are all about outwitting your opponent! And that starts even before the game! So don't talk about shit you know nothing about!"

"Grr...!!"

"Tell me you're faking it, Jonouchi! Why don't you stop pretending to be a nice guy? Then the prizes and money will come your way! Like this!"

*BA BAM!*

Bandit Keith opened up his jacket to reveal more than several decks he had been carrying on the island. Everyone was shook to see crazy amount of cards the previous prize hunter had owned.

"N-No way! He's got ton of cards under his jacket!"

"That's right! Dragon decks, Warrior decks, Machine decks... you name it! Plus, every one of them have dozens of rare cards! I've got a deck to beat any poor sucker that fights me!"

"Bandit Keith... isn't there a rule for every duelist participating in the tournament to only carry forty cards?," Yami asked patiently.

"Yeah, I mean, you were allowed to trade in the pier... but when we made it to the island, the bodyguards checked everyone's decks and confiscated any extra cards," Usagi informed.

"Shut up! Let me break it to you-- I'm not officially in this tournament so that means the rules don't apply to me!"

"Grr... what a jerk...!!," Jonouchi brooded.

"There's only one rule that will apply to me... I'll do whatever it takes to get to Pegasus's castle! C'mon guys!"

The crooks began walking out of the cave in the dark path which seemed suddenly lighter than before. They stopped their tracks when Yami called them out.

"Bandit Keith! The duelists' pride is the rule on this island! Remember that..."

"Ha! Don't make me laugh, you goth baby! Haw haw haw haw!!"

Jonouchi held back his fist to prevent a scene from happening. Simply saying how much he was pissed off just wasn't enough to cool himself down.

"Grr...! I seriously want to beat that guy up! I would've said the same thing but he's too strong! I gotta get stronger!"

After the crooks have left the scene, the gang decided it was time for them to leave to. At least it didn't seem as dark than before so they could walk more carefully this time.

*Tmp Tmp Tmp*

"I'm so glad we're getting out of this cave! I hate dark places!," Anzu noted.

"Yeah. I can't wait to breathe some fresh air," Usagi added with a sigh. "Anyways, Jonouchi already got two more star chips!"

"Hell yeah! I've got eight star chips and Yami has six so maybe if we win our next duels, we'll both have ten star chips!," Jonouchi exclaimed.

"Then let's win those duels, Jonouchi!," Yami proclaimed.

*Tmp Tmp Tmp*

"Hm... The exit should be this way if I remember correctly," Bakura stated.

"Yeah, I think we take a right turn here," Honda responded.

And there is was. The way out of the tedious cave stood in front of them. Just a couple of steps to go to reach outside.

"There it is! The way out!"

Jonouchi ran toward the opening with his arms wide open.

"Oh sunlight! Lemme feel your warm embrace!"

*RM RM RM*

"What the—?!"

"The exit—it's getting blocked!!"

Just outside of the cave, Bandit Keith made his minions push a giant boulder onto the exit to make sure the pack of friends wouldn't come out. The crooks thought it was too far but they had to obey their boss.

"C'mon, put some muscle into it!," he demanded strictly. "This is the only way out of the cave! They might as well stay down there forever! Hahahaha!"

He peeked into the small gap to check on the scared teenagers fro the last time.

"Yo, losers!"

"B-Bandit Keith?! What the hell do you think you're doing?!," Jonouchi shouted.

"Heh heh... if the "law of the island" is to win with duels... then my law is to win like this!!"

"Grr...!!"

"Now that I'm this close to the castle, all of you will just get in my way! So you guys can stay in this cave! Don't worry! Someone will find you eventually, of course, but it'll take a few years! Hahahaha!"

"That scumbag... Bandit Keith! I'm going to beat you!!"

"Ha! Scream all you want! Later, "champ!"

*KERBOOM!*

The exit was closed permanently and the cave had gotten darker.

"You no good jerk! I'll get you, even if I have to dig my way out! Just you wait...!"

After the exit was shut, the crooks panted. None of them were prepared for what was about to happen next with their angered boss.

"Phew... we did...," Sid huffed out.

"Yeah... but don't you think that was too much, boss...?," Kozuka wondered.

"Feh! There's nothing wrong with that!," Keith shouted. "Now... the next order of business..."

*WHAMM!*

Bandit Keith striked down Kozuka with a kick onto his chest.

"Thanks a lot for losing against that moron you fucker!!"

"B-But... I just... played the cards how you told me...!"

*BAM! WHAMM!*

Bandit Keith kicked Kozuka's chin way up high and then punched him down on the guts.

"Then why'd you lose!?! Moron!!"

"Urgh..."

"You lost you're star chips so you aren't good for anything! Just die!!"

"K-Keith..."

Sid and Satake backed away a little, staring down at Kozuka as he was beaten up. After Bandit Keith finished his beating, he looked over at the two crooks.

"You two! How many star chips do you guys have?"

"Uh, I got five..."

"Yeah, me too..."

The boss grinned sinisterly.

"It's enough for one person, isn't it?"

"..."

"I'll take those star chips from you two!"

"What—?!"

"Listen you nerds! You guys only got this far because of Bandit Keith!!"

The two hesitated but gave away their star chips to him to avoid any violence.

"All right... That's a good boy... and give me your glove while you're at it!"

Bandit Keith collected their star chips and wore the glove to make him look like a participant of the tournament. He also place his ten star chips on the glove, making him officially the first duelist to gain entrance to the castle.

"Hehehe... these guys have just about outlived their usefulness... right on schedule...," Keith thought. "Now I have ten star chips! I didn't even have to soil my hands on a stupid duel! Pegasus, you better prepare yourself to get your ass kicked by Bandit Keith!!"

*BOOM! POW! BEAT!*

The crooks were still beat up after surrendering their star chips to their "boss." That duelist doesn't know how to play fair in any matter.

Meanwhile, our heroes were trying their very best to push out the boulder. Unfortunately, they didn't have very much strength left so they gave up eventually.

"C'mon! Just one more push guys!," Jonouchi pleaded as he placed his hands onto the boulder.

"Leave it alone, Jonouchi. It's not gonna move, no matter how hard we push," Honda stated sadly. "Looks like we better find another way out of here."

"Hm. The left passage leads us to the battle box Jonouchi was in but after that, it's just a dead end. If we were on the surface, the right passage would lead us to the direction of the castle...," Bakura explained.

"Wow, Bakura... you sure got some pretty good sense of... O-Oh... you're using the Millennium Ring...?," Anzu uttered, taking a small step back from the cursed ring.

"Yeah..."

*RM RM RM*

"Hm..."

"What is it, Usagi? You seem awfully quiet. Is... something the matter?"

"Uh? Oh, no... I just felt something strange from that ring of yours, Bakura. Don't worry about it though..."

"Okay..."

Honda and Jonouchi proceeded to walk in front of the gang to lead them to the other exit of the cave. Jonouchi turned on the latern Mai had given them to brighten up the passage.

"Let's take the right passage for now... We probably won't get lost as long as the Millennium Ring keeps working..."

"Yeah. It's a good thing Mai gave us this latern or else we would've been walking in the dark!"

Jonouchi took the lead and began walking with everyone else following him. It was unsure how long the group of friends were going to take to find the exit but they'll find it for sure. Aside from Bandit Keith, there was three possible duelists who are almost good enough to qualify for the finals. Will they make it out of the cave in time?

"Wow... I wasn't expecting so many things to happen here...," Usagi murmured as she walked behind Yami and in front of Anzu, "All of this took me by surprise..."

"Well, I can understand that. You've been hidden from the world for quite a long time," Yami comment quietly.

"Yes, and to be honest... I was afraid to actually be here..."

"Really? Why?," Anzu wondered.

"Remember when I said there was many duelists longing to see me? I didn't mean only the participants but... also Pegasus... I couldn't believe I actually met up with Kaiba again after so many years of not seeing each other..."

"Hey, now that I think about it, why didn't you tell us that Kaiba was an old friend of yours?," Jonouchi asked.

"I... I didn't want to bring him up. I didn't think it was time..."

"Not to be rude or anything but it would've been better if you said something. I know you're still trying to get use to the world but at least we're trustworthy friends. You can tell us."

Usagi smiled and shook her head.

"I'm sorry but after seeing how much you hated Kaiba, I couldn't really encourage myself to talk about him..."

"Yeah, but he's a big jerk! Kaiba did some terrible things to us before he fell into a coma!"

"...Are your referring to the Death-T Games?"

"Yeah! I've got some things to settle with Kaiba! If only you saw—!"

*Bump!*

Honda stopped all of the sudden and made the gang fumbled their steps as they bumped into each other.

"Hey! What the heck, Honda! What's the hold up?"

"Something's wrong here. We've gone pretty far... but there doesn't appear to be an exit anywhere."

"You're right. This tunnel keeps getting narrower by every step we're taking," Usagi pointed out as she looked around the cave. "This wall was bumpy earlier... now it's all smooth, like a stone wall!"

"Wait—then that could mean—!"

"We're in a maze!"

The gang followed each other so no one would get lost in the mysterious maze. Eventually, they all were able to find a way out of it but it wasn't the exit of the cave. As they stood out of the maze, they found themselves a strange room that was connected with the maze. On the ground, there was two symbols that meant "meikyû," which translates to "labyrinth." The same symbols also appeared on the walls and two different doors from the end of the room. The room was quite... strange, but at least it was brighter than the entire cave. To finalize the details of the room, a table with four chairs stood in the middle.

"What the—what is this place?!"

*Whoosh! Whoosh!*

"Hm...! Someone's here...!"

Two unknown men jumped into the scene and leaped up in such a fantastic way which could only be seen in an action movie.

"Wh-What are these guys?!! They're out of a Hong Kong movie!," Jonouchi blurted out.

Both fell flat on their feet and stood tall as a statue. The twins wore similar kung fu outfits and distinguished themselves through the color of their clothing. The first one had the part of the symbol on their forehead which was "mei" and they wore an orange outfit. The second one had the other part of the symbol on their forehead as well which was "kyû."

"We are the guards of the dungeon... the Meikyû Brothers!!," the twins announced in a fair manner.

"The Meikyû Brothers...?!," Usagi uttered.

The twins observed their new visitors and scoffed.

"Hmm... What have we here, brother? Six lost travelers, in a maze?," Kyû wondered.

"Who knows, brother? It wouldn't be a maze if people didn't get lost!," Mei responded.

Yami carefully studied their appearance and noticed both had duel gloves.

"They have duel gloves as well...! Are they Player Killers...?," he thought.

"Have you come to ask us, lost travelers? To find the right path..."

"To find the right door..."

"You must face us in a duel!!," the brothers proclaimed.

They made way for them to enter and showed them the special duel table. The table resembled the room with its two grand doors.

"Now...," Kyû stated, "May the two duelists please step forward! This duel will be an unorthodox two-on-two fight!"

"Two-on-two? A Duel Monsters tag team match?!"

"Beat us and you'll learn the right way..."

"...But run and you'll be lost in the path of darkness forever!"

With Jonouchi and Yami being the ones who needed the star chips, they both stepped forward as they were ordered.

If we don't win this duel, we won't be able to get out of this tunnel!

"Jonouchi! Looks like we got no choice!," Yami declared.

"Yeah! Bring it on, Mario Brothers!," Jonouchi announced.

"Then... enter the Labyrinth field!"

The four duelists took their seats; The Meikyû Brothers took the seats with the gates in front of them.

"So this is the field... but where's the labyrinth...?," Yami thought suspiciously. "In the back rows, there's two door with "mei" and "kyû" written on them... so each one of them guard one door... One of these doors must lead to the surface! In other words, we have to beat the brothers to get out of here!"

"Wager your star chips, duelists!"

"I'll bet two!," Jonouchi declared as he placed his star chips on the table.

"And I bet four! That makes six star chips in total we're betting!," Yami pointed out. "Let's do this Jonouchi! If we win this, we'll have enough star chips to enter the castle! We have to catch up with Usagi!"

"You bet! I ain't lettin' anything get to me this time!"

"Not so fast...! We are the Player Killers of the Labyrinth! We've received orders from Mr. Pegasus to make sure your journey ends here!!," the Meikyû Brothers stated. "Now to start this duel, I shall play the "Labyrinth!!"

A maze arose from the ground and topped the entire field. Yami and Jonouchi were shocked to see the type of game they were about to play with these two strange duelists. Nevertheless, Yami and Jonouchi knew better than to give up in a fight. They had to win for the sake of their friends, and to catch up with Usagi who had already collected ten star chips a while ago.

Now this truly is an unknown duel!!
