Chapter 3

Joey sighed, walking the streets of Domino.

"Yugi, I wish you could be here with me"sighed Joey.

"Hey Joey"

"Great, now I'm hearing his voice"

"Joey, I'm here, in the puzzle"

Joey looked inside the puzzle Yugi had given him.

"Yug, is that really you in there"asked Joey shocked.

"You bet"said Yugi.

Joey had never been happeir or more relieved in his life.

"Wow, it's really you! You aren't here to say goodbye, are ya"asked Joey.

"as long as you keep this puzzle I'll be fine"said Yugi.

"Cool man, wait until I tell the others"

"You can't"

"Why not Yug?"

"They can't here me, only you can"

"Oh well, it's good to know you're back Yug" ********************************************

Rashid walked into the room Malik was sitting in. He was the only one who was allowed to carry on any kind of conversastion without being called by Malik.

"Master Malik, which hunter shall I send out"asked Rashid.

Malik thought for a moment, he had so many hunters.

"Dispatch Pandora(A.K.A Arkanae)

"Yes sir" ******************************************

Joey sat down on a bench.

"So how did ya get inside that puzzle Yug"

"I don't know"

"Well at least you're back. I wish you were there to see me beat the snoz out of Pegasus"

"I knew you could beat him somehow! I'm proud of you Joey"said Yugi.

"Thanks bud"

"Well well well, what do we have here?"

Joey looked up. This man was strange. He had a Black and Blue striped mask on his face, a Red tuxedo and long Red hat.

"Where's the circus"asked Joey.

"Ha HA, I enjoy your sense of humor Joey Wheeler"

Joey stood up.

"How did you know my name freak, and who are you"

"My name is Pandora, and my master has sent me to defeat you"

"Who's your master"

"Maybe if you win I'll tell you. Fail and your mind goes off to the shadow realm"

"I'll forget you just said that. Now let's duel"

"Come with me, I know a dueling arena near by"

"Becareful Joey, I don't trust him"warned Yugi. **********************************************

"Let's duel"

Joey:2000 Pandora:2000

They were in some kind of abandoned wearhouse.

"My Dark Magician, just where I wanted it"thought Pandora.

"Why don't you go first Joey"asked Pandora.

Joey nodded and looked through his hand.

"I wonder what I should attack with first"thought Joey.

"How about the 3rd one to the left"said Yugi.

"I apreciate the help Yug, but this is my duel to fight"said Joey.

Pandora didn't hear him.

I summon Geruises in attack mode"

Geruises had 1800 ATK and 1600 DEF

"It's my move. I play one card face down. Then I summon the Dark Magician in attack mode"

"Dark magician"gasped Yugi.

"That's your favioroute card Yug"said Joey.

"What the heck"asked Joey.

This Dark magician looked diffrent, he was dressed in Red.

"Dark Magician, attack Geruises"

Joey:1300 Pandora:2000

"Allright deck, don't fail me now"thought Joey.

"I summon Flame Swordsman in attack mode. Then I'll place 2 cards face down, and end my turn"

"Joey you are so slick"he thought with a grin.

Pandora drew.

"Very impressive Joey, but let's see how you do when I summon another Dark Magician"

"Another!"

"It's gonna be hard enough for Joey to defeat one, but 2"thought Yugi.

"Dark Magician, attack"

Joey smirked.

"Huh?"

"Activate face down card, Akuni with chain"

"A trap!"

His Dark Magician(one of them)was captured.

"That's right circus boy, and now I'm gonna activate my other down card, Salamandra. Akuni with chain raises my Swordsman's attack to 2300, not quite enough, but with Slalamandra, his attack increases to 3000! Now Swordsman, attack"

Joey:1300 Pandora:1500

"Let's see you Dark Magician take on my juiced up Swordsman now hotshot"said Joey.

"Nice work Joey"said yugi.

"Ha, he may have an edge now, but the first rule of any master magician is to save the best trick for last. HA HA HA"he thought.
