As tempted as Yami was to use magic on the men for interrupting this too important duel, he kept his banishing palm to himself.
"This is historic ground," one of them said. He then noticed the hologram monsters on the field. "W-what are those??? It's unreal . . ."
"It's a hologram," a voice from behind the man said. An old man, one of the museum managers and a former historian himself, walked in. He applauded. "The Kaiba holograms," he said. "Technology is so backward these days. Impressive that you were able to make this very old thing work."
"But sir -" one of the guards began.
"Uh-uh - we're going to watch this," the old man said. "I'd like to finally see this Ancient stadium in action!" He rubbed his hands together. "Continue!"

The spirit of the Ring was looking intently at the Millennium Eye in the dark, when suddenly, he felt a rope dangling in front of his face.
"What is this imbecilic thing?!" he yelled.
"Grab a hold!" a female voice yelled from up above.
The spirit grabbed on, but when the person at the other end pulled, the rope snapped (it was quite a shoddy rope), causing him to fall once more.
"Ow!" He pressed his hands onto the floor to push himself back up, but he felt something under his right hand . . .
"Are you okay?" the female voice asked.
"I'm fine," said the spirit. He laughed sinisterly as he grabbed a hold of the rope.

"White Lightening!" Kyle yelled, smiling.
"Not so fast," Yami said, flipping over his face-down card. "Mirror Force!" Kyle's attack was reflected right back at him.
"Argh!" Kyle screamed as his Blue Eyes disappeared. Half of the dragon's Life Points were deducted from his score, making it 500.
Yami smiled slyly. "Your dragon is vanquished."
Kyle drew a card. "Maybe," he said, putting a card face-down, "but not for long!" The card he had drawn was his second Blue Eyes, incredibly enough. It was now on the field, in Attack mode.
"Gr," Yami snarled.
+What are the chances of THAT?+
~You don't know Seto Kaiba. He had that kind of draw all the time. Perhaps it is the Heart of the Cards at work.~
+Cards have a heart? Hmm. Call it what you want, but I consider it a stroke of freakish luck!+
Yami had 1500 Life Points remaining, while Kyle only had 500. The pharaoh spirit drew a card and frowned. For his move, he put a monster face-down in Defense mode.
Kyle laughed manically. "That won't help you!" he cried, flipping over his down card. It was Stop Defense! Yami's monster, Swordstalker, was now in Attack mode!
"Amazing!" said the old man. "According to my research, it is rumored that similar battles had taken place 1000 years ago between Seto Kaiba and Yugi Moto - with these dragons in action, as well as the Dark Magician! Now I know for a fact that they did indeed occur - History truly repeats itself!" He rubbed his hands together again.
The Blue Eyes destroyed Yami's beast, dragging his Life Points down to 500, to bring the duel to a tie.
Yami thought back to his past duels with Seto Kaiba and the Blue Eyes White Dragon cards and began to sweat. He didn't even know Gary's cards! What could he really do??
~I must win this duel! For my memories . . . but . . .~
Kyle interrupted his thoughts. "You should have never agreed to duel me, Gary!" he said. "I'm about to embarrass you once and for all!"
The old man's eyes widened.

Ryou had come out again when he finally got out of the hole.
"Are you hurt?"
"Naw, I'm fine," Ryou shook his head and clutched his arm. "Thanks to you." He finally extended his arm to shake hands with the woman that helped him out. "What is your name?"
The woman shook his hand. She tossed her blonde hair back. "The name's May." She coiled the rope back up and put it around her shoulder. She then turned around and started to walk away. "It is nice to meet you," she said, still walking, not looking back. "I am positive that we will be meeting again." She laughed a little. "Nice Ring, by the way."
As she was almost out of view, Ryou noticed that she had a holster- type thing on her right side, with a shiny rod-like thing inside of it. His eyes widened, as he had been wearing his Millennium Ring UNDERNEATH his T-shirt and jacket.
"How did she know??"
