Author's Note: This story takes place on an alternate timeline some time after the Duelist Kingdom. Yugi just barely didn't defeat Pegasus, but he got his grandfather's soul, as well as those of Mokuba and Kaiba, back, anyway. The details of all these events are revealed as the story unfolds. And, now, on with the show!
P.S.: Most of the chapters of this story will come with added "Features" at the end, describing something from the chapter. Most of these are just things that I made up and are not real.

Yugi stood in the dining hall, looking around at the many tables whose style was unique to the hotel he and his friends were staying in.
"Rats!" he said to himself. "I can't remember what I came here for!"
Suddenly, he saw something that reminded him: Bakura, Joey, Tristan, and Teya seated around one of the circular tables, an empty chair sitting between Teya and Bakura. In the center of the table sat a large, hot apple pie. In front of each chair, including the empty one, sat a plate and a fork.
"That's right," Yugi reminded himself, "for Bakura's birthday. He wanted pie instead of cake. At least I remembered his present." he added, looking down at the Duel Monsters booster packs in his hand.
He walked over to the table and sat down in the empty seat.
"There you are!" Tristan exclaimed enthusiasticaly. "We were starting to think you weren't coming!"
Yugi laughed merrily. "So," he asked Bakura, "you get any presents yet?"
"Yep." Bakura nodded.
Suddenly, Yugi noticed Bakura was wearing a brand new, bright blue sweater with a yellow image of the eye symbol on the Millenium Items sewn into the chest. Upon noticing where Yugi was looking, Bakura said "From Teya. She made it herself."
"Good job, Teya, it looks great!" Yugi exclaimed. Teya blushed.
Joey, who had been searching franticaly through his jacket, suddenly jumped up and shouted "Ah-ha!" When he saw everyone looking at him strangely, he explained "I was looking for my present to Bakura. I just found it.........Anyway, I didn't know what to get you, so I just gave you money so you could buy whatever you wanted. Here you go!"
With this, Joey handed Bakura a birthday card that had two crisp, new, ten dollar bills in it.
Both Yugi and Tristan held out there hands toward Bakura at the same time. Each person's hand held four booster packs. Laughing, Yugi said "There's two from me and two from my grandpa."
"Actualy," Tristan laughed, "none of these came from me. There's one from my mom and one from my brother. The other two are from my sister. You know, the one who thinks you're cute? I only got you one card, but the kid who sold it to me said it's realy rare. It's a monster card."
"All right," Bakura replied, "let's have a look at it." But when Tristan handed him the card, Bakura's brow furrowed and he said "I don't understand. How can this card be rare? It doesn't have any attack or deffense points!"
Yugi peaked at the card and made a funny grunting sound. "That's the Duplicat card!" he exclaimed. "Whenever it goes into battle, it copies the attack and deffense scores of the opposing Monster!"
"And there's only one person here, besides myself, that would know that." said a voice behind them.
The friends turned to look in the direction of the voice. There was a man looking straight at Yugi. He looked to be in his early twenties. He wore a black leather jacket over a a black muscle shirt, black dress shoes, and black leather pants and gloves. In fact, there were only two things about him, besides his skin, that weren't black: His sunglasses (which were so dark brown they appeared black), and his bleached-blond hair.
"Who's that?" Tristan asked, echoing what they'd all been thinking.
Never breaking his gaze, the man said "I am Moses Young, the new president of Industrial Illusions since the death of Maximilian Pegasus. And you must be Yugi Motto."
"That's me." Yugi replied. Suddenly struck by inspiration, he added "Hey, if you're the new president, you must have been working as Pegasus's vice president before he died!"
"That would be correct. However, even now, after his death, I hold no respect for that man or the way he did business."
"Glad to hear it, but that's not what I was getting at."
"Oh?"
"As his vice president, I'm sure you know all about the Millenium Eye and what Pegasus did with it."
"Right again."
"Well, there are still several people whose souls haven't been returned to them. As the new president, I'm sure you'll know: After it was used to restore my grandfather, what happened to the Millenium Eye?"
With a grim smile, Mr. Young took off his sunglasses. In the same eye socket Pegasus had kept it rested the Millenium Eye.

So, what do you think? Oh, yeah, here's the Feature for chapter 1:
Creature Feature-Duplicat.
Fire Monster (beast/effect)
Level 1 with 0 on Attack and Deffense
Effects: When Duplicat attacks or is attacked, it's natural Attack and Deffense scores become equal to the natural Attack and Deffense scores of the opposing monster.
This card is great because, even under normal circumstances, you're garunteed to destroy your opponent's monster. Then, if Duplicat's Attack is boosted by outside forces, including Equip Magic cards, the boost is made over the copied statistics, meaning that Duplicat is not destroyed in the process. *Sighs.* Wish it were real........
