EPISODE - 007 -"A SHADOW MASTER. PT 3."
"PREVIOUSLY ON YU-GI-OH! "Thank you Bobasa, for keeping track of him..." "Anything for you Ms. Ishizu..." -- "YAAMMMMIIIII!!!" -- "Yugi Muto... Tell me. Why have you come to Domino Museum so early in the morning..." "Atemu's gone, Ishizu..." "The Pharaoh is loyal to you. He'll come back." "Maybe. I can remember unlocking the Puzzle, winning Battle City, and even finding out his name... I don't get why he would just leave!" "He'll be back." "Ishizu can you read Heretic? Can you translate that ext on the top of the Lithograph for me? I don't think I've seen it there before..." "From the depths... -- and be creation..." "What does that mean?" The Lithograph immediately froze over with dark crystals. "What is this!? An Orichalcos Crystal..." -- "Hmmm... You're a fool Nameless Pharaoh. As I proved to Marik... I cannot be destroyed... For I am THE Darkness!..."
Yugi reeled away from the darkly frozen lithograph, which lay before him and Ishizu Ishtar, resting inside the glass case at Domino City Museum. Ishizu's eyes expressed great concern; this was something that was written in the scriptures, and she knew it. The reason as to why the Pharaoh was sealed was about to return.
"Yugi Muto. Do you know what that is?" she asked Yugi.
Yugi nodded silently. "It is an Orichalcos Crystal. After the Battle City Tournament was finished, Joey, Tristan, Tea and I came here to unlock Atemu's Memories with the 3 Egyptian God cards... But a man called Dartz processed a secret ritual and sealed the Lithograph. Somehow Duel Monsters came to life also."
Ishizu blinked several times. "The Lithograph was sealed!?"
"Yes," said Yugi. "But that's not all. Dartz was the leader of an Organization called Doom, and he had 3 servants, Raphael, Amelda and Varion, who were after the Top-3 from Battle City. Joey, Kaiba and I. Joey beat Varion using his own technique of an Armour Deck against him, but then Mai Valentine, who was in love with Varion, dueled Joey, and beat him. And in both duels, the Seal of Orichalcos was played..."
"The Seal of Orichalcos!?"
"Yes. It's a Field-Type Magic Card, that transforms all of your monsters in DARK and gives them 500 extra points," said Yugi. "Plus, the Orichalcos Ring will surround the field, and nobody can enter or exit until the duel is over. But, only one duelist can emerge. The loser will lose their soul..."
"They lose their soul!?"
"Yeah. Joey beat Varion and Varion lost his soul. But then Joey lost to Mai, and his soul was taken too. Kaiba dueled Amelda, and Amelda lost his soul just like Varion. I dueled Raphael, but he helped me find Dartz, so I played a card that allowed the Orichalcos not to take his soul. He's somewhere now, I don't' know where. I think he's settled down... Kaiba and I then went to Dartz and defeated him, and released all the souls that were taken by the Orichalcos. Then we went back to the Lithograph, which wasn't sealed anymore, and unlocked Atemu's Memories..."
Ishizu blinked. "That's quite a story... So this 'Orichalcos Crystal can do what?"
"It negates the Seal of Orichalcos... Just like the 3 Legendary Dragons..."
"3 Legendary Dragons!?"
"3 Beasts of Unimaginable power... Timaeus, Critias and Hellmos. They guard and watch over the Holy Land, where the monsters of Ka were sealed 10,000 years ago in Atlantis. I believe that Egypt learnt quite a bit from Atlantis... but they never quite learnt how to seal away a person's Ka... and I guess that's why Atemu's dad created the Millennium Items..."
"So why did the Orichalcos Stone appear now?" Ishizu asked.
"I don't know... I just don't know..."
Yugi lay in bed, staring up at the ceiling, holding his hand upright, staring at the Orichalcos Crystal that was in his hand.
'Hmm... Why did this thing show up now?' he wondered.
Yugi looked at the Orichalcos Crystal from all sides. It looked the same, small and green, with a point at the top. But still, he hadn't expected anything else. After all, it was just a stone that could cancel the Orichalcos.
'Why on Earth would an Orichalcos Crystal appear just after the Lithograph is sealed...' Yugi thought. 'Wait a minute... I wonder...'
Yugi stared at the Orichalcos Crystal. He kept on repeating what Ishizu had told him in his mind, and how the Lithograph froze over.
"Man... If Atemu ever comes back... I'd really like to teach him a lesson!" he gripped tight on the Orichalcos Crystal. Yugi closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he noticed that the Orichalcos Crystal was glowing brightly.
"What the!?"
And Yugi fell back, with a vision coming 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. And he fell back.
He opened his eyes wide. 'What the hell was that!?' And then he realized. 'It was a vision. This Orichalcos Crystal came to me... to show me something...'
He took his belt, and locked it onto his waist, and put his deck into the pocket. He stood firmly, his Duel Disk on his arm, with a most determined look upon his face.
"Atemu..." he said. "You had better be ready. Coz' I'm coming to get you!"
After school that day, Yugi approached Joey with his ultimate question. He had of course told them about the vision, and seeing Ishizu earlier that morning, but not about the Millennium Puzzle disappearing. But his friends didn't seem to notice...
"Yeah? Hey Yugi, remember you already told me this..." said Joey.
"No!"
"No?" asked Joey. "What's up with you?"
"Yeah Yugi," said Tea. "You don't seem like yourself..."
Yugi took a deep breath. "Has it even occurred to you that I do not have the Millennium Puzzle?" Joey, Tea and Tristan's eyes widened, as if they had just realized. Yugi gave them a disapproving look. "The reason why I went to the museum, was because the Puzzle was gone..." he took a deep breath. "And then... the vision happened after I came back. But it wasn't so unexpected, because I was holding an Orichalcos Crystal..."
"What!?"
"The Lithograph froze over when I read out a passage from the Lithograph that I had never seen before. It seemed weird to me, and then it was covered in dark-purple ice, and the Crystal formed in my pocket."
"Wow..."
"Yeah..." said Yugi softly. "And the vision... Joey... Can I count on your help...?"
Joey thought for a moment. He was thinking hard. "Well... you lied to me about the Puzzle... so no..." Yugi's eyes widened. Joey smirked. "Yeah sure. I'd never back out on you Yugi. You're my pal!"
Yugi smiled widely. "Thanks Joey. Plus it's also the fact that you're one of the Chosen Duelists, and you can summon Hellmos... so I kind of figured you'd be a good asset!"
"Yeah!" Joey froze. "Hey Yugi... You weren't thinking of inviting Kaiba too? Because he controls Critias..."
"Yeah!" cried Yugi. "That's a great idea! We can get Kaiba to come along! Let's get to Kaiba Corp. right now!" and he began walking.
Joey shook his head. "Me and my big mouth..."
Seto Kaiba sat dimly in his control room. Or dueling room, as it seemed more to be established as. Kaiba stood in front of the Duel Robot. He was dueling; his Duel Disk was on his arm, and he had 1 monster in front of him, glaring down onto the Duel Robot's XYZ Dragon Cannon. But, no matter how dim the situation seemed, Kaiba smirked.
Kaiba: 200
Robot: 550
'Hmmmm...' thought Kaiba. 'The Duel Robot currently has XYZ Dragon Cannon in attack mode with 2800 Attack Points... I have my Sorcerer of Chaos... but it only has 2300 Attack Points... Unless...' he froze. 'Unless I use its effect!'
He raised his arm. "Now..." he opened his eyes. "Sorcerer of Chaos... I activate your effect!" the Sorcerer of Chaos glowed, and shot a beam at the XYZ Dragon Cannon. It was shattered to pieces. Kaiba smirked. "The Sorcerer of Chaos can automatically remove 1 face-up monster from your side of the field, from the game, at the cost of my Battle Phase. But that still doesn't matter..." he looked won to his face-up magic card. "Thanks to my Light of Chaos Magic Card, you shall lose 300 Points whenever a monster is removed from play!"
Kaiba: 200
Robot: 250
Kaiba closed his eyes. 'Ha. Now it's all set. First I bet it'll play a monster in defense mode... and then I'll spring my Trap winning this duel!' he smirked, and opened his eyes. "I end my turn..." said Kaiba smirking.
The Duel Robot glowed. "Draw card... Scanning. Play 1 Magic Card. Raise Dead..." the card appeared and glowed. "Revive Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon onto field, in defense mode..."
Kaiba smirked. 'Ha. The Duel Robot played the Ultimate Dragon in defense mode... It must think that my face down card is a Trap. Lucky it is!' He closed his eyes, and then blinked them open. He rose and arm.
Yugi, Joey, Tea and Tristan walked into the arena at that exact moment, shocked by Kaiba's new duel tactic.
Kaiba smirked. He had not noticed Yugi as of yet. "Now... I activate my Trap Card!" he rose it up, and it revealed a card with a barrier on it, shapely and darkly looking. He smirked. "I activate Dark Force!... The counteract of Mirror Force! It gathers all monsters you have out in defense mode and yes you're right. Removes them from play!" The Dark Force card shot at the Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon, and it exploded in a fury of fire. The Duel Robot's Life Points fell to 0, and Kaiba was the winner. Kaiba then turned and noticed Yugi standing there.
"Ahhh Yugi!?" he cried. "What are you doing here!?"
Yugi closed his eyes. "Kaiba..." he opened them.
"I NEED YOUR HELP..."
