Yugi and Rebecca keep making out, with Tea watching them unbeknownst to them.

Rebecca's hands are around Yugi's neck. The girl seems confident, in charge of the situation. Yugi, on the other hand, feels lost. Not that he is not enjoying this, mind you! At some point, the girl lowers one hand, takes Yugi's hand and places it on her chest. Next, she takes his other hand and places it on her ass.

Yugi moans. Finally, he decides to take some initiative. He drives his hand on Rebecca's ass underneath the girl's skirt. He feels her soft skin. Man, this feels good!

Rebecca breaks the kiss, so that both of them can catch their breath. She looks at the boy in the eye, caressing him.

'Wow, that escalated pretty quickly,' Yugi pants, excited.

That moment, it strikes Yugi that Rebecca is only 12, whereas he, though looking the same age as her, is actually 16! What he's doing right now is borderline illegal!

'This is only the beginning, boy,' the girl leans and whispers in the boy's ear with a meaningful smile.

To Yugi's huge surprise, she stands up and... starts taking off her pink jacket. Slowly and seductively. The boy gulps. He's not sure anymore who is statutorily raping whom here!

Rebecca proceeds to remove the blue shirt that she was wearing underneath her jacket, thus exposing her chest. Her breasts are still tiny, but they're still enough to cause Yugi's eyes to momentarily turn into hearts in an ecchi gag scene.

Rebecca places her palms on her exposed knees and leans forward, towards Yugi. 'So, won't you undress too, boy?'

'Umm, I don't know,' Yugi gulps with uncertainty.

'Come on, stop being a scared little child,' Rebecca laughs and playfully ruffles his hair.

'I'm not scared,' Yugi snaps, abruptly standing up. Rebecca does NOT step back.

Yugi recalls his duel against Mai at the Duelist Kingdom semi finals. That day, his partner in the puzzle was pleading with him for them to fight together in order to beat Mai, but Yugi was too scared to let the spirit of the Millenium Puzzle help him. His fear cost him the match that day. And although everything turned out well in the end, Yugi knows that he was just lucky that Mai managed to fix everything; it was not his own doing that his grandpa was finally saved. That's why Yugi never fully forgave himself for the cowardice he showed that day.

'No, Yugi Moto is no longer a coward,' the boy says in his head determinedly and begins undressing!

First, he takes off the Millenium Puzzle. He looks around, searching for a spot to place it.

Rebecca reaches for the artifact. 'I can hold it for you until you get undressed,' she giggles.

'Okay,' Yugi cheerfully agrees and gives the puzzle to her. Next, he's about to take off his jacket.

However, at that point, he realizes that Rebecca's expression suddenly changed. 'Want a piece of knowledge, boy?' she asks with an enigmatic smile.

'What piece of knowledge?' Yugi gives her a baffled look.

Rebecca continues, 'According to the ancient rules, if you willingly give your Millenium Item to someone, for whatever reason, that someone has the right to challenge you into a duel over it. And if that someone wins, the powers of that Millenium Item are theirs.'

Yugi gasps and steps back. 'You are... you are...'

'You can call me Marik,' Rebecca cries. Her voice is now distorted, as if someone else is speaking through her body.

'YOU BASTARD!' Yugi screams. 'You are abusing a child in order to achieve your goals? You disgust me.'

The possessed girl takes a serious and sad expression. 'I, too, was a child when I was abused in horrific ways. And nobody gave a shit!'

'And do you think that taking my Millenium Puzzle will fix that?' Yugi argues, still angry.

'I'm not going to discuss with you the reasons that I want your puzzle,' Rebecca says. 'In any case, if you want it back, you have to defeat me in a duel.'

Yugi sighs. It seems there is no other way out of this. He has to fight. Except that this time he has to fight all alone. Without the help of the spirit of the Millenium Puzzle. Without the help of his friends. But he has to win somehow.

The boy clenches his fists and takes a determined expression. He's not going to let down his partner again as that day at the Duelist Kingdom semi finals. 'Partner... I'll get you back,' he thinks.

'Okay, Marik,' he says out loud. 'Where will we duel?'

Rebecca points at the factory. 'There is a duel arena in there,' she says, her voice still distorted. 'Let's go.'

The two kids enter the building, with the possessed Rebecca not bothering putting her clothes back on!

Still hidden behind the container, Tea is shocked. She does not know what to do. Should she go in and support Yugi? Or run to find Joey and Tristan and tell them what happened?


'TRISTAN!' Joey snaps.

At last, he found him. The brown haired boy is surrounded by girls he just met at the after-party that is currently taking place.

'Hey, Joey,' Tristan casually waves. Next, he turns back to the girls and says to them, 'This is my protege, Joey.'

'Protege?' the girls ask with interest while giggling and feeling Tristan's muscles.

'I taught him everything he knows about duel monsters,' Tristan brags. 'Because, I forgot to tell you earlier, I'm a duel monsters expert.'

'A what?' Joey snaps, clenching his fists.

Ignoring his friend's annoyance, Tristan carries on, 'Thanks to my wise guidance, Joey reached the Duelist Kingdom semi finals. And I bet he would have won the tournament if he hadn't lost his qualification card.'

'He lost his qualification card?' one of the girls shrieks. Next she bursts into laughter, with the other girls soon joining her in it.

'Tristan,' Joey growls, tightening his fists. 'Did you know that I'm only half Japanese? My father is from Brooklyn.'

'Umm... cool,' Tristan replies, oblivious, revelling in the girls' caresses and attention. 'So what?'

'Have you ever tasted Brooklyn rage?' Joey rhetorically asks.

That moment, Duke Devlin walks over to them, holding a glass of some beverage. 'Hey, girls. Are you having a good time in my store?'

The fickle and shallow girls immediately feel attracted to Duke. They forget about Tristan and surround the creator of dungeon dice monsters like bees.

'Do you want me to show you around the shop and tell you about the game I created?' Duke asks the girls.

'Sure,' they all drawl simultaneously, their eyes transformed into hearts.

Duke walks away with the girls. Tristan snorts. Joey chuckles, approaches his friend, takes Tristan's hand and raises it to the level of the latter's face. 'This palm is your only girlfriend, dude,' he laughs, eliciting a friendly punch from the brown haired boy.


Yugi and the possessed girl are standing at the duel arena, across from each other. Rebecca has put the Millenium Puzzle down, next to her.

'Time to duel,' they both unnecessarily cry as the meters set each player's life points to 2000.

'Ladies first,' Rebecca declares that she's making the first move.

'Except you're not a lady,' Yugi retorts.

'Oh, really?' Rebecca giggles in a distorted voice. And, grabbing and squeezing her barely visible breasts, she continues, 'Do these lie?'

Yugi sighs, sickened by Marik's sense of humor.

'Okay, let's get down to business,' the possessed girl gets serious. 'I play the Witch of the Black Forest (1100/1200) in defense mode.'

A woman with long, purple hair appears. She's wearing a black, maxi dress that leaves her shoulders exposed. Her eyes are closed. Either because she's blind or because she's currently praying, Yugi guesses.

'My turn,' Yugi draws. 'I summon the Celtic Guardian (1400/1200) in attack mode.'

A blond knight appears on the field. His outfit consists of a purple cape, brown armor, beige trousers, green shoulder pads and a helmet the same color. Lastly, he is wielding a sword. To highlight his entrance, the warrior makes a whoosh sound with his weapon.

'Celtic Guardian,' the boy cries. 'Attack! Silverblade Slash!'

The Celtic Guardian charges at the practically defenseless woman and, with no remorse, cuts her into two with his sword. The witch subsequently breaks into one million tiny pieces. Since she was in defense mode, Rebecca's life points stay the same.

'And now, the witches effect is activated,' the possessed girl declares. 'I get to add 1 monster with 1500 or less DEF points to my hand.'

As Rebecca searches her deck, Yugi curses. That effect is tricky; a clever opponent can use it to gain instant access to a really powerful monster.

'As opposed to what you might think, Yugi,' Marik thinks as the body he possesses moves one monster card from the deck to her hand, 'I don't intend to beat you with raw force.'

'It's your turn again,' Yugi declares with a hostile expression.

'I play Sangan (1000/600) in defense mode,' Rebecca declares and places another monster card on the board horizontally.

A strange creature appears on the field. It looks like a light brown hairball. It has long, green arms, feet the same color and no legs at all! Also, it has sharp, long, grey claws at the tips of all its digits. On its hairy body, there are three yellow eyes. The monster smiles, revealing its sharp teeth.

Yugi raises an eyebrow. So Marik didn't choose a powerful monster after all? Anyway.

'Celtic Guardian, attack again!'

The blond warrior kills Sangan too, in the same manner he killed the Witch of the Black Forest earlier.

'And now, thanks to Sangan's effect, I get to add another monster from my deck to my hand,' Rebecca declares nonchalantly. 'This time, one with 1500 or less ATK points.'

'What is he up to?' Yugi inwardly wonders. 'Is he trying to gather some specific monsters in his hand in order to carry out some plan?'

Marik checks his hand, through Rebecca's eyes. 'Good. Almost there,' he thinks. 'But I'd better get rid of that annoying Celtic Guardian too. His effect prevents any monster with 1900 or more ATK points from destroying him. This can be a nuisance in the long run.'

Rebecca activates a magic card from her hand. 'Tribute to the Doomed,' she cries. It's a card that depicts a mummy embalming another mummy! 'By sending 1 card from my hand to the graveyard, I get to destroy 1 of your monsters. Just like that!'

Yugi gasps. Bandages emerge from the square the Celtic Guardian is standing on. The bandages are wrapped all over the monster, which is violently dragged underground, screaming and dying of asphyxiation.

'Lastly, I play the Millenium Shield (0/3000) in defense mode.'

A large, red shield appears on the field. On it, there is an embroidery design of a golden eye that looks like Pegasuses Millenium Eye.

'3000 DEF points?' Yugi inwardly snaps. 'Darn, how am I supposed to get through that?'

'Everything is going according to my plan,' Marik inwardly says as the possessed Rebecca is ominously looking at her foe. 'As of the next turn, I'll drive you deeper and deeper into your grave, Yugi.'


Tea has made up her mind. She will go in the building to support Yugi.

She knows that, if she does that, she will have to admit that she secretly followed him in the first place. She knows that she will seem a jealous bitch this way.

But she doesn't care. She can't leave Yugi alone now that he needs her more than ever.
