Disclaimer: I don't own it, but it would be nice to own Yugi or Yami...
*thinks weird thoughts* Everyone else: O_o DD: ^_^;;; Sowy...
DD: Anywho, for this chappie I'm gonna begin where I left off. So it'll start completely random. For anyone who hasn't guessed yet, I am going to tell you who Hayley is. I am Hayley, so anything that I say is really the way I talk everyday.
Sierra: Took you long enough to admit it.
DD: Whatever.
Sierra: I don't have to keep saving your ass everyday, y'know!
DD: Yeah, sure you don't...
Sierra: _
DD: The competition for who the sorcerer is is over now, so don't bother. Everyone who answered got it wrong unfortunately. -_-;;; This chapter may be a li'l longer than usual, but, who cares! ^_^
Sierra: -_-;;;
DD: Anywho, enjoy! The language is (not much more) stronger in these chapters from now on, and if you wanna know what symbols means what, see my other 2 chapters! Plus...

The Enemy Revealed
Bakura and Sierra eventually came back to the area where Yugi and the others where. They were gasping for breath, but they still found enough energy to keep shoving each other.
"Had a good time then?" Hayley asked Sierra, grinning. "You look like you've been dragged through a hedge backwards!"
"Well, that was one thing that happened to me." the blonde replied, laughing nervously.
"Where did you disappear to? You were missing for half an hour!" Ryou scolded his yami.
"I don't think you'd wanna know." Sierra said honestly, blushing slightly.
"Yeah, we just got out of hand with our wrestling..." Bakura said, blushing as bright as Sierra.
"I've had better wrestling matches with a pansy!" Sierra said, lying about what happened.
"You want to give me a rematch, then?" Bakura answered, winking at the blonde yami.
"OK then." she answered. They ran off towards the wood area. "See ya this afternoon!" Hayley stared as they disappeared.
"They didn't just do what I thought they did, did they?!"
"I certainly hope not!" Ryou replied, looking as if he was about to faint. The others just looked highly disturbed.
***
On the way home from school, Yugi, Hayley, and their yamis (DD: I FINALLY got you away from Bakura! Sierra: Shuddup, he was showing me a good time! DD: O.O;;;) were heading towards the game shop to decide what they were going to do about this new enemy. Yami was still suspicious of Sierra (DD: He don't like you, do he now? ~_~ Sierra: Well duh...), but he decided to give up trying to get rid of her, because she was going nowhere without her hikari. Finally, they were there. Yugi opened the door and they all walked in. Solomon was stood there at the counter.
"Hello Yugi, Hayley, something arrived through the post for you two today." he rummaged underneath the counter for a second, pulled out a medium sized box, then handed it to Yugi.
"Thanks grampa." Yugi said, smiling slightly. He went upstairs with Hayley and the two yamis.
"What do you think it is?" Hayley asked curiously, as Yugi placed it on the floor and began to open it. He pulled out a metallic grey cuboid with a small white button on its front.
"You think I should press it?" Yugi asked, looking at Hayley.
"Obviously." the blonde replied honestly. Yugi carefully pressed he button and the four of them watched. A cloaked figure appeared in a small beam of light.
"It's a hologram!" Sierra said, surprised at what she saw. Yami gave her a funny look. The figure began to speak in a distorted voice, to make sure that it was impossible to identify who was speaking.
"Greetings, Yugi Moto and Hayley Jennings." it said in a male voice, the only clear thing to hear through the distortion.
"How the hell does he know us?" Hayley asked, glaring at the hologram funnily.
"As you already know, yesterday, four of my henchmen had been sent to...'retrieve you' for me."
"So he was the one who did it!" Sierra yelled angrily. "Bloody asshole..." she said quieter afterwards. Hayley looked at her for a second, then continued to listen to the hologram's distorted voice.
"If you truly wish to know who I am, then I suggest you listen carefully." the small figure said matter-of-factly. Yami looked more interested than before. "Look at the directions carefully and arrive at midnight tonight exactly. Do not bring any of your little friends, but kindly bring the spirits within your Millennium Items. I will look forward to seeing you." The hologram disappeared and in its place a map with a point marking where the exact location for them to get to was.
"I know that place." Yugi said simply. "I've been there before when I was talking to Yami once." Hayley looked at him funnily. "It's a long story, but as I recall, there was no place of interest there."
"Well let's go anyway." Sierra replied. Yami looked up at her, then at Yugi and Sierra.
"What do you think Yami?" Yugi asked him curiously. "Should we go?" Yami stayed silent for a few seconds, then spoke.
"It could be dangerous," he began, Yugi giving him a 'pweez let me go' look as he did. (DD: Oh no, the dreaded PUPPY-DOG EYES!!! AAAGGGHHHH!!!! Anywho...) "but then again, we don't really have that much of a choice if we want to find out who this lunatic is." After everyone had fully agreed, and had finished discussing what to do when they got there, it was 11:00pm, (Sierra: Ooohhh, we took aaaaages... DD: Shuddup. Sierra: Sez you. DD: -_-;;;) so they headed off towards their target destination.
***
"Well, here we are." Yugi said when they had arrived. It was a large open area surrounded by forest, the moonlight illuminating the trees and ground. Hayley checked her watch.
"It's 11:59, we just made it."
"So what are we looking for then?" Sierra asked, staring around the huge area.
"I'm not sure..." Yami replied, looking around too.
"It's midnight in 5 seconds." Hayley said suddenly. They stood quietly and waited until her watch read 00:00. "It's midnight." A low rumbling was heard from somewhere in the clearing. Then, from nowhere, a huge stone temple appeared before their eyes. Yugi, Hayley and their yamis stood there, completely speechless, staring at the towering building.
"I guess this really is the place." Yugi said finally, stunned. "Well, let's go." They walked up the many stairs and entered the temple cautiously, Yami and Sierra infront of Yugi and Hayley. For a dark looking temple on the outside, it was quite well lit on the inside. There were torches lighting the deep hallway, eventually leading into a fairly large room, with pillars supporting the roof.
"Hey, what's this?" Hayley asked curiously. She picked up a pendant with a purpley-blue jewel in it. Her and Sierra's Millennium Bands began to glow for a couple of seconds, then stopped.
"That was weird." Yugi said, looking at the pendant.
"Hell yeah." Hayley replied, putting it around her neck. "Oh well, I like it so I'll keep it!"
"Yugi Moto and Hayley Jennings." A voice was heard from the shadows. "What a pleasure it is to meet you."
"Who's there?" Yami asked cautiously. Laughter was heard. Yugi looked surprised. 'I've heard that laugh before.' he thought. 'Could it be him?' The figure of the sorcerer emerged from the darkness, his face hidden under his cloak.
"So, you took my bait." he said simply. "I suppose you want to know who I am."
"Of course we do! Why don't you just tell us already!" Sierra yelled across the room.
"In due time." the sorcerer said simply. "But first, you have to defeat me in a Shadow Game."
"What?!" Yugi cried. "You can'y call upon the Shadow Realm, can you?"
"Just watch me." He held out a card. "I call upon the mighty Blue Eyes White Dragon!!" A huge blue dragon roared as it emerged from its card.
"No way!" Yugi yelled. "I thought there was a chance it could've been, but I never imagined you'd really be-"
"-Seto Kaiba." he finished, pulling back his cloak and revealing Kaiba's youthful face. "So, what do you think now?" Yugi stared at him for a moment. Something about him didn't seem right. His eyes, even though they could look cold, looked even more so than ever, and he didn't sound normal. "Now Blue Eyes White Dragon, WHITE LIGHTNING!!!" The dragon roared as it fired off a tremendous white energy beam. It narrowly missed Yami and Yugi as they dived out of the way.
"We've got to summon out own monsters!" Yugi called to the others as he and Yami stood up. Yami held out a card.
"Dark Magician! Go!" The purple-clad magician appeared in a swirl of energy, ready for attack. "Dark Magic Attack!" It immediately let of a spell from its staff, temporarily stunning the huge dragon. Sierra held out a card.
"I too summon my Dark Magician!" she cried as a blue-clad magician with blond hair appeared.
"Do you really think that's enough to defeat me?" Kaiba asked them mockingly. He held up another card. "I summon my second Blue Eyes White Dragon!" Another huge dragon appeared, roaring magnificently.
"We'll still beat you!" Sierra yelled angrily.
"What's the point? In the end, I'll get the Pharoah's power whether you like it or not." Yugi looked at him as he said this. 'The Pharoah's power?'
Sierra turned to the blue Dark Magician. "You ready?" The magician nodded determinedly.
"Wait, don't!" Yugi cried. Yami, Hayley and Sierra turned to look at him, while Kaiba stood there. "Something's not right here."
"What do you mean?" Yami asked, staring at him.
"That's not Kaiba." Yugi said simply.
"What?!" Hayley said loudly, looking towards Kaiba's direction. "Seto Kaiba's standing right over there though!"
"I don't mean that!" Yugi answered quickly. "It's Kaiba in appearance, but there's no way it can really be Kaiba. The Kaiba everyone knows doesn't care about Millennium Items or anything like that!" Kaiba looked worried. "So, who are you really?" His worried face had gone, now he was grinning insanely.
"You're very smart, little Yugi." he said simply. "This is Kaiba's body, but not Kaiba in mind. He's been missing for a while now, but unfortunately for him, no one even knows."
"What do you mean?" Yami demanded angrily. "Who are you?"
"I will explain." he said simply. "Soon it will not matter once I have completed my main objective."
==========================================================
Kaiba was sat at his desk in his office, sorting out business papers. (DD: Boring...) He had just been to a meeting for a new gaming product.
"Seto Kaiba..." Kaiba looked around the room, confused.
"Mokuba? Is that you?" he called out.
"Why would little Mokuba do that?" Kaiba was beginning to get annoyed. He stood up and looked around the room.
"Who's there? Show yourself!" A glow came from the middle of the room, and a faint image of man appeared. "Who are you?"
"That is not important right now." he answered simply. "Is it true that you have twice lost to Yugi Moto?"
"And what if I did?" Kaiba answered aggressively. The spirit laughed slightly.
"You amuse me, Seto Kaiba. Now tell me, how would it feel to have revenge on Yugi Moto for destroying your title as Duel Monsters champion?"
"Nothing would please me more." Kaiba said, a look of maliciousness in his face.
"And would nothing please you more if the revenge was...death?"
"No way! I'd love revenge on him, but I'd never kill him! Now get out of my office!" The spirit laughed loudly.
"Oh poor, poor Kaiba." he said pitifully. "I'm afraid you don't have a choice." With that, he glowed once again, then dived towards Kaiba, streaming into his chest. Kaiba let out a cry of pain that lasted a few seconds, until he stood there quietly, laughing to himself. Mokuba ran into the room.
"Seto, what's going on? I heard you yelling." Kaiba was quiet. "Seto?"
"Seto is not here." he said quietly. Mokuba looked at him suspiciously.
"What are you talking about Seto?" Kaiba walked towards the door, then stopped.
"I told you..." he said angrily, turning around. "I'M NOT SETO!!!" With that he held out a golden staff and sent Mokuba flying into Kaiba's desk. "I'm going now. And you will not tell anyone about what has happened. If you do," he held up his staff. "I'll know." He left the room, leaving Mokuba lying there, staring at the door.
==========================================================
"So you possessed Kaiba so you could kill me?" Yugi asked fearfully, looking at the sorcerer. "Who are you?"
"Very well, I shall tell you. My name is Ishida, and I am the one who will claim the Millennium Puzzle!" he said dramatically. (DD: CORN BALL!!! Sierra: Shut the hell up! DD: Make me. Sierra: -_-;;;) He aimed his staff at Yugi. "And now, I will do what I should've done at the beginning." He fired a huge white blast, smashing into Yugi. Yugi screamed as the blast continued, then, seconds later, it receded, and Yugi collapsed to the floor, completely motionless.
"YUGI!!!" Hayley screamed, running up and kneeling down beside him. She tried to wake him but it would work.
"Ishida, what have you done?!" Yami yelled across the room. He laughed loudly.
"By taking away little Yugi's soul, I'll be able to gain control of him, and the Millennium Puzzle, gaining your power! Now my Blue Eyes White Dragons, ATTACK!!!" The dragons roared and burst into action, as well as the two magicians. They were continuously firing and dodging various attacks, at a complete stalemate. Blasts were narrowly missing the yamis and their aibous as the fighting continued.
"Hayley, get Yugi and yourself somewhere safe." Yami instructed. "I've got an idea."
"Right." the blonde agreed. She got Yugi under the arms and pulled him behind one of the stone pillars.
"You can't win, no matter what you do!" Ishida yelled manically. Yami and Sierra ran behind another one of the pillars nearer to Ishida.
"You ready?" Yami asked, facing Sierra.
"Ready as I'll ever be." she replied nervously. They held hands, (DD: YOU FANCY HIM!! YOU DUMBASS!!! Sierra: You now it's Baku-san I want! DD: O_o) closed their eyes, and the Millennium symbol appeared on their foreheads. A sudden whirlwind appeared around them, spreading with each passing second. Ishida looked stunned when he saw what the two yamis were doing. (DD: *Looks at what she just wrote* O.O I could've phrased that better. Sierra: ¬.¬ Hell yeah.) The whirlwind got thicker and thicker, creating a huge vortex in the centre of the room, beginning to suck up all the monsters. Hayley kept behind the pillar, holding onto Yugi tightly. It all continued for a few minutes, until the monster were seen disappearing into the vortex. Ishida let out a cry of pain, and the faint image of his soul was also seen disappearing into the vortex. The whirlwind slowed down, until all that was heard was Sierra sighing and slumping onto the ground, exhausted. Yami leaned against the pillar, then turned towards where Hayley was hidden and walked towards her. Yugi slowly opened his eyes as Yami approached. He sat up and looked around curiously.
"What happened?" he asked weakly.
"You're soul was taken by Ishida." Hayley answered simply. Yugi looked puzzled.
"And then what?" Yugi asked.
"HEY, YOU GUYS, COME OVER HERE!!" They turned around and saw Sierra towards the other end of the room. She was waving them to come over to her. Within seconds they helped Yugi up and were walking over to her. "Look what Ishida left behind." She nodded her head over and glared at Kaiba, lying unconscious on the floor.
"We'd better get him back. Mokuba must be worried sick about him." Yami said.
"Do we have to?" Sierra asked. "I'd rather leave him lying here." Yami glared at her, then she sighed, and helped Yami pick him up, then they began to make their way out of the temple. As they reached the entrance, they were surprised to see Joey, Tea and Tristan stood there.
"Hey Yug!" Joey called up to Yugi. "What happened here?" He and Tristan ran up to Yami and Sierra and took Kaiba off them. They got to the bottom of the temple, where Tea was waiting. (DD: KILL HER!!!! Sierra: The only time I'll ever agree with her on something. DD: ~_~ 'Bout time you said that. Sierra: -_-;;;)
"What happened? Why's Kaiba with you?" she asked, looking towards where he was.
"It's a long story." Yugi said simply. "How did you know we were here?"
"Gramps called us on the phone and showed us the hologram image you got." Joey explained. "We came here to see if you needed any help."
"Looks like we missed all the action." Tristan added. A low rumble was heard and the seven of them turned their heads to where the temple was. It was beginning to sink into the ground and out of sight.
"It's over." Yugi said to himself. He looked around him when he thought he heard someone laughing.
"What's up?" Hayley asked curiously.
"It's nothing." he replied simply. "We'd better get Kaiba back to his home."
***
On the way to Kaiba's mansion, Yugi and Hayley had told the others everything that had happened. By the time they were finished, they were already at the huge gates that lead into the front garden. Yugi pressed and held the button, speaking into the communicator.
"Mokuba, are you there?" he said into it. "Can you let us in, we have your brother." Seconds later, the doors opened and they walked through them and into the garden. At the door, Mokuba was stood. He ran up to Kaiba, who was being carried by Joey and Tristan.
"Seto! What happened to him?" he asked worriedly.
"Your brother's gonna be fine!" Hayley said cheerfully. "He just needs to rest." They all went inside and everything was explained.

DD: Sucky ending, wannit?
Sierra: Do you want an honest answer?
DD: Not from you.
Sierra: Damn.
DD: Anywho, pleeeeeeeeeez R+R, cus I'm getting fed up of people not reviewing. Even if you only look at it for a few minutes, at least tell me what you thought of that li'l bit!
Sierra: She really is desperate on this. She may not write anymore if this lack of reviews continues.
DD: Yeah, what she said! Well, hopefully I'll see ya when I write the next chapter. It's only gonna get better!
DD: Anywho, for this chappie I'm gonna begin where I left off. So it'll start completely random. For anyone who hasn't guessed yet, I am going to tell you who Hayley is. I am Hayley, so anything that I say is really the way I talk everyday.
Sierra: Took you long enough to admit it.
DD: Whatever.
Sierra: I don't have to keep saving your ass everyday, y'know!
DD: Yeah, sure you don't...

The dragons roared and burst into action, as well as the two magicians. They were continuously firing and dodging various attacks, at a complete stalemate. Blasts were narrowly missing the yamis and their aibous as the fighting continued.
"Hayley, get Yugi and yourself somewhere safe." Yami instructed. "I've got an idea."
"Right." the blonde agreed. She got Yugi under the arms and pulled him behind one of the stone pillars.
"You can't win, no matter what you do!" Ishida yelled manically. Yami and Sierra ran behind another one of the pillars nearer to Ishida.
"You ready?" Yami asked, facing Sierra.
"Ready as I'll ever be." she replied nervously. They held hands, (DD: YOU FANCY HIM!! YOU DUMBASS!!! Sierra: You now it's Baku-san I want! DD: O_o) closed their eyes, and the Millennium symbol appeared on their foreheads. A sudden whirlwind appeared around them, spreading with each passing second. Ishida looked stunned when he saw what the two yamis were doing. (DD: *Looks at what she just wrote* O.O I could've phrased that better. Sierra: ¬.¬ Hell yeah.) The whirlwind got thicker and thicker, creating a huge vortex in the centre of the room, beginning to suck up all the monsters. Hayley kept behind the pillar, holding onto Yugi tightly. It all continued for a few minutes, until the monster were seen disappearing into the vortex. Ishida let out a cry of pain, and the faint image of his soul was also seen disappearing into the vortex. The whirlwind slowed down, until all that was heard was Sierra sighing and slumping onto the ground, exhausted. Yami leaned against the pillar, then turned towards where Hayley was hidden and walked towards her. Yugi slowly opened his eyes as Yami approached. He sat up and looked around curiously.
"What happened?" he asked weakly.
"You're soul was taken by Ishida." Hayley answered simply. Yugi looked puzzled.
"And then what?" Yugi asked.
"HEY, YOU GUYS, COME OVER HERE!!" They turned around and saw Sierra towards the other end of the room. She was waving them to come over to her. Within seconds they helped Yugi up and were walking over to her. "Look what Ishida left behind." She nodded her head over and glared at Kaiba, lying unconscious on the floor.
"We'd better get him back. Mokuba must be worried sick about him." Yami said.
"Do we have to?" Sierra asked. "I'd rather leave him lying here." Yami glared at her, then she sighed, and helped Yami pick him up, then they began to make their way out of the temple. As they reached the entrance, they were surprised to see Joey, Tea and Tristan stood there.
"Hey Yug!" Joey called up to Yugi. "What happened here?" He and Tristan ran up to Yami and Sierra and took Kaiba off them. They got to the bottom of the temple, where Tea was waiting. (DD: KILL HER!!!! Sierra: The only time I'll ever agree with her on something. DD: ~_~ 'Bout time you said that. Sierra: -_-;;;)
"What happened? Why's Kaiba with you?" she asked, looking towards where he was.
"It's a long story." Yugi said simply. "How did you know we were here?"
"Gramps called us on the phone and showed us the hologram image you got." Joey explained. "We came here to see if you needed any help."
"Looks like we missed all the action." Tristan added. A low rumble was heard and the seven of them turned their heads to where the temple was. It was beginning to sink into the ground and out of sight.
"It's over." Yugi said to himself. He looked around him when he thought he heard someone laughing.
"What's up?" Hayley asked curiously.
"It's nothing." he replied simply. "We'd better get Kaiba back to his home."
***
On the way to Kaiba's mansion, Yugi and Hayley had told the others everything that had happened. By the time they were finished, they were already at the huge gates that lead into the front garden. Yugi pressed and held the button, speaking into the communicator.
"Mokuba, are you there?" he said into it. "Can you let us in, we have your brother." Seconds later, the doors opened and they walked through them and into the garden. At the door, Mokuba was stood. He ran up to Kaiba, who was being carried by Joey and Tristan.
"Seto! What happened to him?" he asked worriedly.
"Your brother's gonna be fine!" Hayley said cheerfully. "He just needs to rest." They all went inside and everything was explained.
