Yugi: Dreams of a Memory
Yami, Yugi, Ryou and Bakura continued their journey through the Shadow Realm. During this time, Yami had figured out how to get their duel decks without being attacked. Now, Bakura and Ryou had two decks, exactly the same, and Yami and Yugi had two identical decks. So far, they had not been attacked again, but were quickly coming upon other problems.
"Where are we?" said Yugi, looking around them. A large green meadow had just appeared around them. "Sogen." said Yami. "A Field Magic card. Warrior- type monsters get a power-up here, so watch out." The group wandered cautiously across the meadow. They were ambushed by three Battle Warriors, jumping at them from behind ridges. "These things aren't very strong..." said Yugi. "Even with a field power bonus, we can beat them with any of our monsters." "There must be something more to this..." said Yami. "I doubt it. I summon Komori Dragon!" shouted Bakura. "Attack!" The Komori Dragon lunged forward, but struck a shining silver wall that had just appeared. "Mirror Wall!" said Ryou. The Komori Dragon exploded. "It's a permanent trap! What shall we do?" Ryou said, looking to his darker half for help.
"Leave this to us!" said Yami and Yugi in unison. "I summon Catapult Turtle!" said Yugi, drawing the card. The large turtle appeared in front of him. "And onto it, I put Curse of Dragon!" added Yami. "Now, fire Curse of Dragon at the Mirror Wall!" "Catapult Turtle, at the price of one monster, can destroy walls and fortresses!" said Yugi. The Mirror Wall shattered. "Now, Gaia the Fierce Knight, destroy the Battle Warriors!" The Knight appeared before them, and the Battle Warriors shattered. The Sogen around them dissolved into the darkness of the Shadow Realm, along with all the monsters remaining on the battle field. "Look, up ahead!" shouted Ryou. A light portal was not far away. They ran towards it, ready to face their final challenge...

Yamiki slowly and quietly lifted up the trapdoor, and slipped into the passage below. She saw a little light up ahead, and moved slowly towards it.
"I hope they're alright..." said Ryouu. "They will be!" said Yuugi confidently. "They'll stop Kaiba, and Yamiki, dead in their tracks!" "I hope so, Yuugi..."
Bakuura sat quietly near the door. Mokuba had long since fallen asleep, and Yuugi was playing with a rock he found, that he could draw with. The floor was pretty much covered with Yuugi's drawings of Yami, Yugi, Bakura and Ryou, all in Egyptian-style, and annotated with words written in hieroglyphics. Near his picture of Yugi, he had written 'Sayonara' as well as he could in hieroglyphics. He had also drawn himself, Bakuura and Ryouu. At the moment, he was looking for a clear space to start more drawings, but as there was none, began to draw on the walls. Ryouu was watching, and occasionally correcting Yuugi's spelling.
Yamiki crept further down the passage. She could just about see into the room. Suddenly, her vision was blocked by Bakuura, who had sensed her behind him. "What do you want, Princess?" he said, dragging her into the room. Yuugi momentarily looked put out; Bakuura had just smeared his picture of Ryou. "You're all under arrest." she said, smirking. "You've all broken our great Pharaoh's laws." "I suggest you shut up, Princess. You're very close to having your soul sent to the Shadow Realm!" said Bakuura, "Oh yeah? Then you're coming with me!" The room dissolved into the darkness of the Shadow Realm.
Yuugi looked around them; he had only been in the Shadow Realm once, and he didn't like it. Nearby, Ryouu was looking just as scared. "Are you ready for our Mind Duel, Tomb Robber?" said Yamiki. "Or are you scared of the dark?" "No more scared than you are! I'm ready!" Bakuura shouted. "Fine! Let the Duel commence!"
The battle was invisible to Yuugi and Ryouu's eyes. All they could see was Bakuura and Yamiki gradually growing more and more tired, as they flung all of their energy into the invisible duel. After what seemed like forever, Bakuura was flung backwards, crashing into Ryouu. "Are you alright?" said Yuugi with panic in his voice. "Yuugi... run. Run quickly. The others... Yami, Yugi, Ryou, Bakura... they're not far off! Take Ryouu and RUN!" Bakuura said, helping Ryouu up from the floor, and ushering them on. "Go!" Ryouu turned to look back at his best friend. "Bakuura..." "Ryouu, I'm sorry. This time, I was just too weak. Now hurry!" said Bakuura, tears starting to form in his eyes.
"Enough of these goodbyes! I have the perfect place for you, Tomb Robber!" yelled Yamiki. Bakuura made no move to resist or protect himself. Yamiki raised up one hand and a golden ring appeared before it. The ring had a triangle in the middle, and five golden loops at the bottom.
'I'm sorry, Ryouu.'
The darkness faded away, Yamiki stood, clutching the ring in her hands. Bakuura's body was lying, curled up on the floor. His soul had been stripped away, and locked within what was now the Millennium Ring. It glowed, and four golden points, which had been keys to the secret room beneath the rock, one from Yuugi, one from Ryouu, one from Bakuura himself, and one from Mokuba appeared, attached to four of the five loops. "To seal you forever, I create one more." said Yamiki. A fifth point appeared. Yamiki smiled, and turned to make her way out of the hidden chamber, taking Mokuba with her.
So was the creation of the Millennium Ring, and the end of Bakuura, for five thousand years.
