Yami Mokuba is standing outside the abandoned factory. This is where the signals from Yugi's Millenium Puzzle as well as from the Millenium Item possessed person are coming from. Furthermore, he can feel two large dueling auras flaring up. Is a duel taking place in this hovel? And yet everything points to that being the case!

Okay, let's get in. But not through the main entrance. Yami Mokuba prefers not to be seen at first, just in case it turns out that it is in his best interest to act in secret.


'Make your move, Marik,' Yugi haughtily cries. 'Unless you want to give up already.'

The possessed girl chuckles and draws a card. She checks her hand. Right now, she has no cards on the field and 4 cards in her hand: The Shadow Ghoul, the Judgement Blaster and two weak, vanilla monsters. The Judgement Blaster/Shadow Ghoul combo could turn the duel around, except she needs 3 more cards in her hand to perform it. Which is where the cards hidden in her high socks come into play!

To Yugi's and Tea's shock, Rebecca drives one hand under her skirt, takes off her underpants and spins them around her finger, seductively! They are blue, with red strawberry designs on them. 'By the way, Yugi, do you like my panties?' She's doing this with one hand, just to distract Yugi and Tea, while, with the other hand, she surreptitiously swaps her two weak, vanilla monsters with the two cards hidden in her socks: Card of Sanctity and Pot of Greed.

Yugi and Tea are gaping. 'How twisted can you be?' the boy rhetorically asks.

'Come on, Yug, let's take five,' Rebecca pleads, with a sultry expression, throwing her panties away. This time Marik makes her talk in her normal, girlie voice. 'I can force that female body to do with you whatever you want! Even... (winking)... you know... bow chicka wow wow! Then we will continue the duel as if nothing happened!'

'IF I EVER GET MY HANDS ON YOU, ASSHOLE,' Tea screams.

'You are a poor excuse for a human being, Marik,' Yugi closes his eyes and shakes his head negatively in disappointment.

'Oh, okay, if you don't want to,' Rebecca shrugs, feigning indifference. The job is done anyway. She swapped her two useless, vanilla monsters with the two spell cards that will allow her to replenish her hand. And those two fools didn't notice a thing! 'Anyway, let's resume the duel. Where were we? Oh, yeah, right, it is my turn. So, as I was saying, I play this spell card: Card of Sanctity.'

She places on the board the aforementioned card. It shows two knights in a rain of golden coins. They're trying to catch as many of them as they can. 'Now we both draw until we have 6 cards in our hands,' she unnecessarily explains.

With the same contemptuous look in his eyes, Yugi draws. So does Rebecca. Both players now have 6 cards in their hand.

'Next, I play the Pot of Greed,' Rebecca carries on, in a distorted voice. And, in her normal, girlie voice, she adds, 'Yaay, two more cards for me.'

She grins. Perfect! Now she has 7 cards in her hand. Time for the combo of victory.

'I play the Judgement Blaster,' she cries and places on the board a spell card depicting a commando or something. He is tanned, naked from the waist up and he is carrying behind his back a missile with a chain tied around it. 'I discard 5 cards from my hand. Next, all monsters on the field are destroyed!'

The aforementioned missile appears on Rebecca's field and is fired at Yugi's field, destroying the Demonic Monarch. The boy's eyes widen. His most powerful monster, at least in terms of raw ATK power, was destroyed just like that!

'Lastly, I play the last card in my hand. Shadow Ghoul (1600/1300) in attack mode.'

A tall, green, faceless creature appears on the field. It has red spots, sharp claws and limbs that make it look like a mutant insect that jumped out of some horror movie.

Yugi raises an eyebrow. 1600 ATK? It has to have some additional effect. I mean, Rebecca's tone of voice indicates that this is her trump card.

'This monster gains 100 ATK points for each monster in my graveyard,' Rebecca explains.

Yugi is mildly worried to hear that, until he realizes how many monsters his opponent has sent to her graveyard over the duel. Then his mild worry turns into fright. 11 monsters!

The boy's eyes widen as the Shadow Ghoul's ATK points skyrocket to 2700.

'Your turn, Yugi,' Rebecca cries triumphantly.

The boy gulps. What is he to do? He just lost his best monster. And, since it was a ritual monster, he cannot bring it back from the graveyard, even if he draws Monster Reborn.

'I- I play the Giant Soldier of Stone (1300/2000) in defense mode,' Yugi stutters.

The well known stone golem appears on the field and kneels down into a defensive position.

'Hang in there, Yugi,' Tea tries to encourage him in every way she can.

Rebecca draws a card. She looks at it and smiles. Her eyes back to Yugi. 'First of all, SHADOW GHOUL, CRUMBLE THAT STONE.'

Her monster leans slightly forward and breaths green gas which engulfs Yugi's wall monster, annihilating it.

'And if you think that you can stall for like a bazillion turns by playing monsters in defense mode, this will put an end to your hopes,' Rebecca adds, about to play her next card. 'I play a second Cannon Soldier, in defense mode.'

The aforementioned monster appears on the field and kneels down into a defensive position.

Yugi gasps. He looks at his hand. He has the Dark Magician, two spell cards that cannot help him under the current circumstances (Polymerization and Shift) and three weak, vanilla monsters. Now what? If he plays a monster in defense mode, on her next turn, Rebecca will play one more monster and sacrifice it along with the Shadow Ghoul to activate the Cannon Soldier's effect twice, thus decreasing Yugi's life points to zero. If he plays the Dark Magician in attack mode in order to destroy the Cannon Soldier, the Shadow Ghoul will destroy the Dark Magician on the next turn. And if Yugi loses his trusted magician now, he practically stands no chance.

'Your turn, Yugi,' the possessed girl points at him.

Yugi looks at his deck. His last hope is that, on this turn, he will draw a card that will enable the Dark Magician to overpower the Shadow Ghoul.

'Heart of the Cards, guide me,' the boy inwardly says as he is slowly moving his hand towards the deck.


Yami Mokuba is standing on a mezzanine. He places a hand on the railing and looks down below. Yugi is dueling with a girl that looks around the same age as the body the spirit of the Millenium Ring is currently possessing. So that girl is the possessed person that is trying to take the Millenium Puzzle. But why is she naked from the waist up? Oh, who cares? Time to release that female mortal from the control of whomever is possessing her. Not because Yami Mokuba feels sorry for the girl of course, but rather because this is in his best interest.

The boy takes hold of his Millenium Ring, which glows. 'Millenium Ring, sever the connection between that mortal and the Millenium Item wielder that is controlling her,' he inwardly says.


Yugi draws. He looks at his card. The Soul Release! The boy smiles. Perfect. This card can end this duel.

However, before he can play it, something unexpected happens. Rebecca's eyes glow momentarily with a dim, golden light. Next, her expression completely changes. It becomes childlike, shocked. Her eyes widen.

'Wha... where am I?' the girl shrieks, looking around. 'What am I doing here?'

Tea and Yugi are staring at her with uncertainty. Is this one of Marik's sickening jokes? No, both Yugi and Tea can tell that, this time, the girl's behaviour is genuine.

Rebecca notices Yugi. 'Hey, you are Yugi Muto,' she cries. 'What are we doing here?'

She looks at her naked upper body. 'Where is my jacket?' she cries. And, the next moment, feeling a rush of cold air under her skirt, she places a hand on her genitalia and realizes in horror that her underpants are gone too. 'Wha... WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME, PERVERT?'

'Rebecca, calm down,' Yugi extends his arms forward. 'I can explain.'

'NO, STAY AWAY FROM ME,' the girl steps back, only to fall off the arena and end up on the floor, accidentally dragging the Millenium Puzzle along.


In his dark room, Marik is watching what is happening through the Millenium Rod. Why has his control over the girl worn off all of a sudden? Is someone trying to release her? Marik realizes that he can feel signals emitted from another Millenium Item somewhere near the arena where Rebecca and Yugi have been dueling.

The blond man takes an irritated expression. So another Millenium Item wielder is trying to beat him into taking the Millenium Puzzle? No way he will allow this to happen.

'Only I deserve that power,' Marik cries angrily, causing his Millenium Rod to glow.


Rebecca is standing up, rubbing her naked butt under her skirt.

Tea and Yugi are trying to approach her. 'Rebecca, please, let us help you...'

'NO, STAY AWAY,' the girl screams, causing them to halt abruptly.

'Stop disobeying your master, Rebecca,' a voice is heard in her head. 'The duel is not over yet. I want the puzzle.'

The girl clutches her temples, closes her eyes and screams. 'GET OUT OF MY HEAD!'

'Shut up and duel, you little slut,' Marik yells.

Right now, a ferocious battle is raging in the poor girl's head, a battle of willpower between two minds, two Machiavellian entities who both want the Millenium Puzzle all to themselves: Marik, who is trying to regain control of that body, and Yami Mokuba, who is trying to free her.

Yugi and Tea are just watching, dumbfounded, helpless.

'SHOW YOURSELF,' Rebecca screams, looking around, addressing Marik. In a frenzy, she picks up the Millenium Puzzle and starts frantically flailing it around, trying to hit the invisible enemy.

'Rebecca, stop it,' Yugi tries to reach for his artifact.

The girl accidentally slams it against the duel arena. The puzzle shatters.

'NO!' Yugi cries, his eyes widened.

Meanwhile, Rebecca tries to run out of the building, but, in her current state, she cannot even watch where she is going; alas, she accidentally bumps her head on a pillar and falls unconscious.


In the dark room, Marik is so angry that he turns over his desk! He has to quit... for the time being. Evidently, whoever or whatever interfrered with his plan today is after the Millenium Items too. This will be more difficult than he thought.


Yami Mokuba, who has somehow descended from the mezzanine, is hidden behind a container. Darn, he may have prevented that other person from stealing the Millenium Puzzle, but he won't be able to steal it either today after all. But he can at least do this: He picks up one of the pieces and, before anyone can see him, transfers a small part of his soul in it.

Heh! Now, even on the off chance that Yugi ever manages to collect all seven Millenium Items and opens the Dark Door, the spirit of the Millenium Ring will go wherever Yugi goes from there.

Yami Mokuba puts the puzzle piece down and flees.


'Tea, take the girl outside,' Yugi asks with a serious expression. 'In the meantime, I'll rebuild the Millenium Puzzle.'

'Okay,' Tea nods and carries the unconscious Rebecca outside, bridal style.

As the kneeling boy is fitting the pieces of the Millenium Puzzle back together, he wonders whether Rebecca will be okay. He shudders to imagine how great a shock all this is for a 12 year old girl. What if she never recovers? What if she ends up demented for life? Oh, God, what are they supposed to tell her grandfather?
