"Don't worry," Mr. Young assured the shocked-looking friends, puting his sunglasses back on, "as soon as I am finished with what I must do, I will restore those whose bodies still live, I swear it. Now, what say we finish this good man's party, then Yugi and I have a duel? Don't worry, Yugi, with the sunglasses on, I can't use the Eye's power."

Once these conditions were agreed upon, the friends turned, distractedly, back to Bakura's pie and cut it up. They offered Moses some, but he wouldn't take any. Once he was finished with his pie, the birthday boy reached for one of the booster packs.

Suddenly, Moses made a strange rasping sound and said "I nearly forgot: A birthday party requires birthday presents!"

Bakura tried to say it wasn't necessary, but Moses insisted, pulling out a box from somewhere inside his jacket. Wrapped up in blue paper with red stripes and topped with a yellow bow, the box was quite an attractive little present.

"Oh," Bakura said, "I hadn't realized you already had something ready." He accepted the box and took off the bow. He peeled the paper off of one side and said "Huh? There's a label here! It says 'Duel Monsters Beta set 100- pack booster box.'"

Yugi started, "Beta set!" he exclaimed. "That's the upcoming second set! It hasn't even hit stores, yet, but the top-ranking Duelists have been sent some inside information about it and some even recieved cards. The Duplicat card you got earlier is from the Beta set. The set is made mostly of new cards, but it also has some old favorites sprinkled in. It even has re- print sets of limited-number cards."

Bakura finished unwrapping the box and opened it. He grabbed the first booster pack and peeled it open. He was skimming through the cards inside when he stopped somewhere in the middle and gasped. Holding the card up, he exclaimed "It's the head of Exodia!"
