EPISODE- 006 - A SHADOW MASTER. PT 2. "PREVIOUSLY ON YU-GI-OH! "Wow... Yugi do you know what that is?" "Yeah I do Ishizu. It's an Oracle Curse Crystal... made from Orichalcos, a stone that the Atlanteans treasured even more than gold..." "Atlanteans? How do you know all this?" "Well. After Battle City, a group called Doom attacked with the Oracle Curse... And we only barely beat them by using the 3 Dragons..." "Dragons?" "Yeah. Timaeus, Critias and Hellmos... But..." -- "What does this thing do! AHH! -- Wow. What was that? A vision..." -- "Joey. I need you help..." "Yeah sure Yugi. I'd never back down when a friend needs me... you're not inviting Kaiba too are you?" "Yeah, that's a great idea Joey!" - "Now, I activate Dark Force! Arghh. Yugi!? Shut Down To Duel!" "Kaiba..." "What are you doing here Yugi?" "Kaiba... I need you help..." Kaiba sat in his office, looking outside the window onto the streets of Domino City. He raised his hands up to his face, and crossed them over, so he could rest his chin upon them. He took a moment to think about why he was here, and then he spun his chair around. "Yugi..." he began. "I still do not understand. What is it that you want from me?" Yugi half mindedly fell back a bit. "What? Oh all right. Kaiba..." he closed his eyes, and opened them looking to the ceiling. "Kaiba. Remember how I told you that there were two me's? Yami the Pharaoh, and me Yugi Muto... Well Yami lived inside the Puzzle... and ever since our duel with the Millennium Guardians... the Puzzle's been reacting a bit. It kept on switching between us throughout the entire time we were near them..." Kaiba gave Yugi an exasperated look, and turned his chair towards the window once again. "I still don't know what you want with me..." "Kaiba..." Yugi said again. "It is difficult to understand I am sure. For half the time I knew Yami, I had no idea he existed... But... Yami and the Puzzle disappeared this morning. Bobasa, he was the Tombkeeper who led us into the Memory World, told me to expect great unsure ness from Yami as he had recovered his memory, but still did not maybe understand it all. I guess that happens when an evil Shadow Master changes your Memory... Anyways... I went to the Domino Museum for some reason and I talked to Ishizu. As we were talking I explained about Doom and the Memory World and everything since we last spoke. But then, the Lithograph glowed Kaiba..." Kaiba's eyes widened. Yugi kept on, "...and a string on Ancient text appeared at the very top of it. I asked Ishizu what it said, and she said it to me all jumbled up. I said it straight out... and the Lithograph... froze over..." Kaiba stood up. "Froze... Over...?" "Yeah. With dark colored ice... And then... this formed inside my pocket..." Yugi held out the grim Orichalcos Crystal. Kaiba turned to see. "Wha!?" Kaiba laid his eyes upon the green glowing crystal. "Can it be? It's an Orichalcos Crystal!?" Yugi looked up at him. "Yes Kaiba. But later on when I returned home..." he closed his eyes. "I clenched it in my hand. I was just thinking about Yami when I said I'd like to have a go at him... And then I got a vision. Kaiba... this means that I need to find something! And why else would I have received the Crystal, if the Millennium Items were not needed to stop the Millennium Guardians?" Kaiba took a deep breath. "Why do you want me for?" Yugi glared up at him. "The Millennium Guardians appear... Yami and the Puzzle gone... The 3 Legendary Dragons present themselves to us... and all the second after the Pharaoh's Memory..." Kaiba sat back down, and turned his chair towards the window again. "No. If I agree to help you, I'm also agreeing to believe your fairy tale about mummies and Pharaohs..." Mokuba glared at his brother. "Seto? Why would Yugi say all this if it wasn't true...?" Kaiba stood up. "Mokuba? He's lying! Don't listen to him! This is all impossible!" "Then Kaiba! Why did Pegasus come after me!? Why did Marik want me!? Why did Doom Show Up!? Why the hell are the Millennium Guardians here!?" Kaiba smirked. "Pegasus came after you because you defeated me..." he said. "Marik wanted you because you won Duelist Kingdom. Doom wanted Wheeler, you and I, because were the top 3 of Battle City. And the Millennium Guardians are here for one reason. To make a fool out of you!" He smirked. "Guards, get them out of my sight!" Two big men, who were Kaiba's Guards, approached Yugi, Joey, Tea and Tristan, and became ushering them to the door. "You're making a big mistake Kaiba!" cried Yugi. "Yeah!" cried Joey. "Don't come crying to us when the Millennium Guardians come after you coz' you own the Millennium Rod back in Ancient Egypt!..." The door slammed shut. Mokuba glared at his brother. "Seto...? Why would they lie?" "Give it a rest Mokuba..." Kaiba sat in his office, alone for the next Twenty Minutes. He shook his head and picked up his phone. He pressed the number 1 and began speaking with his receptionist. "Reception, this is Mr. Kaiba..." he said into the receiver. He took a long and deep breath. "Send up Amelda from engineering... I wish to have a word with him..." "Oh..." said Yugi's Grandfather. "It is a troublesome day when an old man has to do his grandson's choirs, just because he has to go and rescue the world..." He put on a funny voice, mimicking Yugi. "Hogwash! He's destined to do it, to help the Pharaoh. I should know... When I found the Puzzle itself..." He stopped walking. He looked next to him: Yugi's room. "Goodnight Yugi..." he whispered, and kept on walking. Yugi lay asleep in his bed, having a bad dream. He was tossing and turning all over. His eyes were clenching as if he was trying to hold something back. A familiar golden glow appeared on his forehead; and he awoke with a start. He saw small snippets of his dream before his eyes. A tall man dressed in purplish clothes, wearing manacles and golden earrings, smirking as he shook in his chair. He was tied up by many thick black chains, but still proved to move the chair out of its bindings. He shook the chair furthermore, and it exploded. The man smirked, and walked through the door to his left. He approached the sleeping form of the Pharaoh, who was wearing the Millennium Puzzle around his neck. The man smirking, he held out his hand and a terrible force shook from it. Yugi's eyes pulsated at the thought of this horrible nightmare, but somehow he knew that this was not any ordinary nightmare. It was a vision. He could tell as the Orichalcos Crystal on his bedside table glowing in the moonlight, coming in from his skylight. Yugi got up out of his bed. He walked over to the table where his computer was. He turned it on, and started exploring through the C:/ Drive. Up came a long list. He clicked the mouse and up came a list of 40: his Deck. He scanned through it, and smirked. He stood up, and went to his cupboard and pulled out a rather dusty Duel Disk. He put it onto his left arm, and also reached inside the boxes inside the cupboard for his deck. He took his deck, and slid it into his Deck-Recognition-Slot. The Duel Disk became active, and the glowing lights illuminated his room. Through the many locks of golden hair falling from his fringe, he looked up into the night sky. He smirked, and thrust his arm forwards. "It's Time To Duel!" Kaiba sat on his chair facing the window again. A knock on the door, and then Amelda walked in slowly, dusty from his work. Kaiba spun around on his chair, and gave Amelda a disapproving look, but not for him, but for the situation. "Amelda..." he began. "See if you can locate Raphael and Varion..." "But why?" Amelda asked. Kaiba took a deep breath. "The spirit within Yugi's Puzzle has regained its Memories... and now some Millennium Guardians from 5,000 years ago have come back to haunt him... But... When Yugi dueled one of them earlier, he only just barely won it. Reform the Doom Organization, and help us..." Amelda nodded. "I'll do my best Seto... Raphael and Varion... And to show I'm loyal: Grimo too..." Deep down in a giant hole in the Earth, lay the Millennium Guardians. Their base was at least 1,000 miles beneath the Earth's surface. The darkness overwhelms the entire vicinity, but it was dimly lit, because they had lit some torches with some of the lava rolling around, as they were close to the Earth's Core. There sat 6 large chairs, almost like thrones in the center of the area, where the Millennium Guardians sat. Kepura exchanged looks with them all, and then stood up. "At last..." he began, smirking, but you could hardly tell as his many chins clouded him. A fat man, but nonetheless powerful. His golden manacles glowed, and he smirked. "...We have finally gotten the Millennium Puzzle... and we owe it all to our master..." he closed his eyes. "And we owe it all to him, for he has been secretly helping us in ways we cannot even imagine... He is currently living inside the Puzzle as we know, but he has also formed a lesser connection between the one that the spirit of the Puzzle, Pharaoh Yami, son of the Akunamon the Brave, cares for most. The puny boy, Yugi Muto..." The Millennium Guardians exchanged looks with each other in unsure ness. The 5 of them didn't understand Kepura's methods. Kepura smirked. "OUR REVENGE BEGINS TONIGHT!" he looked to his fellow Millennium Guardians. "SOON THE PHARAOH'S SOUL SHALL BE LOST FOREVER...! HA HA AHA HA...!!!"
