Mai and Ishizu had a blast at that club. Yes, even Ishizu, who eventually relaxed and even danced a little!

The two girls are now walking on the streets, which, naturally, at this hour, are not as crowded as earlier, accompanied by two guys: Ryan and Bryan. Ryan has black hair and eyes the same color, Bryan has red hair, blue eyes and a few freckles. They both are dressed in modern, stylish jackets, jeans and sneakers.

Mai and Ishizu met those guys at the club and have been hanging out with them for the last two hours or so. Thanks to Mai, that is, for Ishizu would never dare to make the first move on a male!

Ishizu and Ryan are chatting quietly. Meanwhile, in a louder voice, Bryan is trying to impress Mai, '... and my collection includes a ball signed by a famous baseball superstar. Wanna come to my dorm room to see it, babe?'

'Not a chance,' Mai scoffs. 'I already have a boyfriend, albeit an on and off one.' (She's talking about Pegasus.)

'What?' Bryan gasps, eyes widening. 'Then why are you hanging out with me?'

'So that my friend over there (gestures towards Ishizu) won't be too embarrassed to talk to that guy,' Mai explains.

'Oh,' Bryan sighs, disappointed.

That moment, a silver car suddenly comes out of an alley. The group steps back, startled.

'Hey, watch where you're going, you jerk,' Mai yells at the unknown driver of the vehicle.

'She's right, asshole,' Ryan adds.

'You could have killed us,' Bryan yells. 'The streets are not your property, jackass.'

However, when the driver exits the car (a man in his late 30s-early 40s, with short, strawberry blonde hair; he's dressed in a leisure suit), the two younger boys gasp and take one more step back, in surprise and partly in fear too; if they had known beforehand who was in that car, they would never have dared to talk to him like that. You see, Jeane Claude Magnum has a black belt in kung fu.

Yeah, it's Jeane Claude Magnum, the famous movie star!

Ishizu has a neutral expression, having no idea who that guy is. Mai raises an eyebrow; she admits he rings a bell, though she can't put her finger on it.

To the boys' surprise, the famous actor walks over to Mai. 'I have come for you, sweetheart,' he declares and takes out a wedding ring.

'Come again?' Mai gasps.


Night. Mokuba's mansion is silent, with the servants sleeping and the possessed young master having gone out to spend a fun night with his partner, Marik. In Mokuba's room, Odeon is standing, as usual with his arms crossed and his back resting against a wall. His figure is dimly illuminated by a moon ray coming in through the window.

The sturdy man looks at Tea, who is sitting on the bed, with no volition, with her hands on her lap and a blank expression in her beautiful eyes.

'What's up?' Odeon says, merely out of boredom, although he knows full well that the brainwashed girl is not going to answer him.


'You heard me, my love,' Magnum insists. 'You once said you would marry me when I was good enough to defeat you in duel monsters. Well, that time has come!'

Mai starts remembering. Indeed, about one year ago, when she was working on a cruise ship, she dueled this guy, who, as was the case with most rich men she has met in her life, at first tried flashing his riches to have sex with her.

Jeane Claude admits that, indeed, at first, his intention was just to impress her in order to have his umpenteenth one night stand. However, the way Mai stood up to him caused him to fall in love with her. So, eventually, he asked her to marry him, the same night he first met her!

Yeah, I know most of you are like, 'But you can't marry someone you just met!'

Well, Magnum would reply to you, 'Why not? My previous two marriages were to women I had known for a long time before marrying them. And yet, both those marriages ended badly all the same. After two divorces, I have concluded that marriage and true love is not a matter of how long or how well you know someone. It's just a matter of heart!'

So the hell with reason! Magnum wants the heart of this lady and he's gonna earn it, one way or another. Because Magnum always gets what he wants, baby!

'Wait, you know Jeane Claude Magnum?' Bryan cries, impressed. 'That's great. Marry him, Mai!'

The blonde woman turns her eyes to him, with an amused expression in them. 'A few minutes ago, you wanted to do me!' she reminds him.

'Oh, who cares? There are countless chicks I can do,' Bryan explains. 'But the chance to be friends with the wife of a famous movie star is an once in a lifetime opportunity!'

'Well, then have a sex change operation and become his wife instead, Bryan,' Mai scoffs. And, turning to Magnum, she continues, 'Because my answer to this proposal is FUCK NO!'

Magnum's face hardens. 'Then I challenge you to a duel,' he points at her. 'And, when I win, you will keep your promise and come with me to Hollywood.'


The Internet world. Among wires and optical fibres. Among countless electric signals travelling. Signals that will convert into images and/or sounds once they reach their destination. Among all that, a certain electric signal that interests us is travelling. A sentient electric signal!

An electric signal that used to be a mind. A human!

Noah Kaiba, a boy immensely lucky and at the same time terribly unlucky. Immensely lucky because he was the son of a multibillionaire, Gozaburo Kaiba. Terribly unlucky because he died at a very young age.

Sort of. Well, it's hard to say whether he's considered dead or alive.

This has come to be one of the (many) reasons he hates his father. Because he didn't even let him die! Instead, he doomed him to an eternal existence worse than death. Trapped in the digital world, alone, forever.

Truth be told, during the first few years, it wasn't that bad. But, eventually, Noah was left without a purpose. He ended up just roaming aimlessly the vast digital world, a world perhaps even vaster than the physical universe itself! He feels like he has been in this state for centuries. And yet, it has been only six years or so!

Can you really blame this ten year old boy (because his mind is still ten years old and will remain ten years old, no matter how many years he spends in this digital prison) for hating everyone? For wanting revenge, without being able to specify the target of this revenge? For wanting out, for wanting a physical body? For wanting to once more remember what it is like to eat, to drink, to urinate, to catch a cold. Yeah, he misses even catching a cold!

In the timeline the series took place, after roaming the Internet world for a really long time, he came across the Big Five, whose minds also were trapped there. Together, they formulated a plan to have revenge and get new physical bodies.

However, in this timeline, the Big Five are currently 'enjoying' an eternal trip to the Shadow Realm. So this version of Noah must find other allies.

In any case, recently, when he hacked the KaibaCorp's secret files, he discovered that his step brother, Mokuba (well, whatever is currently residing in his step brother's body, that is), has organized a duel monsters tournament, which is scheduled to end on the Duel Tower Island. When the KaibaCorp airship is on the way there, it will be easy for Noah to capture them and lure them into his trap!

But, just to be safe, he needs more allies. So, for the time being, he's searching everywhere on the Internet. He searches social media profiles of losers, people that have nothing to lose, people whom real life has given the middle finger, people with suicidal tendencies. In short, people crazy enough to give up their current physical bodies in order to help him!


Ishizu and Mai are now in the latter's hotel room. They both are wearing pajamas (Ishizu is wearing a pair Mai gave her; it's a pink, bunny themed one!) They are chatting. They are laughing like besties.

Man, this night was really eventful! After Mai defeated that Jeane Claude Dickhead, he, being the sore loser that he is, tried to kidnap her by pulling a really dangerous stunt. Mai came close to plunging to her death because of that middle aged toddler who couldn't take no for an answer!

And do you know who finally saved her? That's right, Ishizu! She was the one who caught her when she fell.

Needless to say, Magnum, having been utterly humiliated because of all this, had no other choice than walk away in shame.

As for Ryan (the guy that had flirted with Ishizu earlier), he was impressed and even more into the tan skinned woman than before.

Seeing that, after her heroic deed, Ishizu had gone back to her usual, sheepish self, Mai intervened to help her and said, 'Ok, Ryan. Give me your email and, one of these days, I will send you the link to her Facebook page.'

When Ishizu gasped and pointed out that she didn't have a Facebook page, Mai went like, 'I will help you make one.'

And, before Ishizu could protest, Mai walked away, dragging by the hand the blushing maiden.

And so, now, here they are, at Mai's room, sitting at a table and playing duel monsters. Without duel disks. Without holograms. Just cards on the table. Just having fun playing a children's card game.


Night. A moon ray entering through the window illuminates the silhouettes of two lovers.

With a troubled expression on his handsome face, Joey sits up on the bed. He's nude. He opens a drawer of the nightstand and starts searching for something.

'What are you looking for?' Duke wonders out loud curiously, sitting up as well. He's equally nude.

'A cigarette,' Joey sighs.

'I didn't know you smoked,' Duke chuckles.

'I don't,' Joey explains.

'Oh... then why...'

'I don't know!' Joey snaps, slamming the drawer. 'I have seen in movies that people usually smoke after doing... you know...'

'... what we just did!' Duke finishes his boyfriend's sentence with a meaningful wink.

Joey jumps to his feet, exposing his full naked handsomeness, to Duke's pleasure. 'What we just did will never happen again!' he yells.

'Whatever you say,' Duke smiles meaningfully.

'I'm serious, Duke,' Joey insists. 'It must never happen again.'

'Why?' Duke takes a more serious expression.

'Because...'

Joey stops, not knowing how to continue this sentence. He sighs, running his fingers through his currently messy, blond hair. He admits he has no good answer to that!


Weevil and Rex are hanging out in the former's room. With only their respective boxers on and their eyes trained on the screen of the laptop, which is currently placed on the table. It's not hard to guess what their respective hands are busy with right now!

The room is flooded with sounds coming from the computer. Female sighs of pleasure, which eventually turn into moans, which eventually turn into cries, which eventually turn into orgasmic screams.

Both boys are about to cum.

'Let's do it simultaneously,' Rex suggests, panting.

'Okay,' Weevil nods, panting as well. 'Three... two...'

'Greetings, my proud duelists!'

Weevil's and Rexes eyes bulge. Their upcoming orgasm, which they 'worked' so hard to build up, rapidly fades. WTF? One moment, there was a hot babe on the laptop screen and, the next moment, that video was replaced with... whoever that blue haired guy is. He looks a little younger than Rex and Weevil.

'Is this an ad?' Weevil scratches his head.

'I told you to get the premium package, fool,' Rex yells at his peer.

'No, fellows, this is not an ad,' the blue haired boy chuckles, shaking his head, both as a negative response as well as in amusement. 'In fact, I'm talking to you right now. I can see you!'

Rex and Weevil gasp.

'But allow me to introduce myself first. My name is Noah.'
