"Pharoah, at last we meet"said Malik.
"Pharoah? Allright, just who who are you! And what in the world makes you think I'm a Pharoah"said Yami.
"Whoa, it's Yugi Moto! Winner of duelist kingdom!"said one kid.
"Uh Yug, what in the heck is going on here?"asked Joey.
"I'm not sure Joey, but I'm going to find out"said Yami.
"Let's just get this over with"said Yami Bakura.
T.K dashed towards Malik, only for Malik to blast him back with his Rod.
"Foolish boy!"spat Malik.
"Whoever you are, your fight's with me! Leave him alone"said Yami.
"Now now Pharoah, first I have buisness with this fool. We shall battle much later"said Malik.
"Who are you!"demanded Yami.
Kari was flickering, but not much. The millenium Rod held her mind at bay, making it so the Dark ocean could not take her.
"How about all 3 of us duel at once? That way when I win, I shall obtain 2 Millenium items at once"
"Hey, what about me? I'll take one of ya on"said Joey.
"I appreciate the help Joey, but this is dangerous"said Yami.
"C'mon Yug, I did well against ya, didn't I? I can take these bozos"said Joey.
"Kari"said T.K standing himself up.
"Foolish boy, all you see is Kari's body. Her mind belongs to me"said Malik.
"Leave the girl alone you freakazoid! C'mon, if ya got any guts, take me on!"said Joey.
"Kari, you have to be in there!"said T.K.
"We're wasting time! So what will it be? How about all 4 of us duel, if it will get us to duel allready"said Yam Bakura.
"I challenge you to a duel, and when I win you free the child's mind"said Yami.
"I allready told you, I'll deal with you later. I don't have the time to waste on you"said Malik through Kari.
Malik began to feel presure on his Rod, as though someone were yanking at Kari.
"That dark dimension! It's trying to take Kari away! Forget it, I need her!"thought Malik.
"Kari, wake up! Don't you remember me? All the tings we've been through!"said T.K.
"You're wearing my nevers thin boy! Now my mindslave, perform your first task for me! Shut that boy up for good!"ordered Malik.
Kari walked up to T.K, who stepped back a little.
"Kari, don't listen to him! You're stronger then him, you're the strongest person I know!"said T.K.
"You're wasting your breath! She isn't listening to you, I control her mind. All of her memories, feelings are gone, only I exist in her mind. You better focus on running"said Malik.
"Her mind belongs to me, she is nothing but a pawn. Run off now and I may just forget about you!"said Malik throught Kari.
"Forget it! I shall set this child free! Mindcrush!"
Yami thrust out his hand and focused his energy on the link between the 2, however nothing seemed to have happened.
"What!"
"You fool! Your power is strong, however it can't match my millenium Rod!"said Malik through Kari.
"That's it! I've seen enough!"said Joey dashing up to Malik.
"Joey, no!"gasped Yami.
Malik hoisted his rod.
"I have a new task for you, cover me from Joey Wheeler"said Malik telepathicly.
Kari dashed up in front of Malik, forcing Joey to hold back his punch.
"You see, comeplete control. There isn't anyone alive who can resist the power of my rod!"said Malik.
"You coward!"said Yami.
"Allright, forget Yugi or Bakura. Your dule's with me now! That's right, I ain't afraid of you! I can take ya!"said Joey.
"Joey, don't!"gasped Yami.
"Don't try and stop me Yug. C'mon pal, I can beat this guy. He can't be that good if he has to hide behind a kid"said Joey.
"Hey, you're supposed to duel me!"said Bakura.
Malik gasped in aw as flashes of the Dark Ocean were flasing in front of his very eyes. Kari was begining to fizzle in Black and White, the students and teachers were stunned.
"No, not now! Wait, there must be, could my mindslave know something useful?"thought Malik as he searched into her memories quickly.
"Digital World, eh? Well why not"thought Malik.
"We shall meet again!"said Malik running off, Kari right after him.
"Kari!"gasped T.K begining to run, but Joey grabbed his shoulder.
"Don't be stupid kid, he'll just blast ya again"said Joey.
"Fine, if I can't get his Rod now, then I'll take yours Yugi! You and I are going to duel!"
"No way Bakura, if you want to duel Yugi, you'll have to come through me first!"said Joey.
"Joey"said Yami.
"Yug, you go and take care of that mind control dude. I'll handle this guy. I'll tell ya what, if you beat me, you can duel me, what do ya say?"
"Ha ha, fine Joey. You and I will duel in the shadow realm, instead of looking for a virtual arena"said Bakura as the thick shadow mist was covering up the hall.
"Joey!"
"I'll be fine, just go and get that kid back!"said Joey as hed faded into the Shadow Realm.
"Come with me, we must hurry!"said Yami.
****************************************************
"Allright mind slave, open the portal"ordered Malik.
"Digiport open"said Kari in that possesed tone.
The computer opened, and both were sucked in.
Malik found himself in some kind of dessert.
"A dessert! Figures. Take us back Mind slave"
Kari didn't make a move, which angered Malik, fearing that he would have to stay there.
"Respond to me mind slave!"said Malik smacking her to the ground.
"N-need c-computer gate"responded the possesed Kari.
"Oh that's just perfect! We're stranded!"
Malik kicked Kari who layed motionless on the ground.
"This is your fault!"said Malik taking the end off of his Rod, revealing the needle.
Before he could strike, Kari turned to static, as did he.
"No you don't! No one challenges the power of my millenium Rod!"
"Malik, you can't destroy us with the millenium rod you imbisile"
The being that looked similar to him, the one he saw at the beach, appeared in front of him as both he and Kari were in the dark ocean.
"What are you, blast it! I've had enough of these games! Reveal yourself!"demanded Malik.
"You. Me. One in the same"
"One in the same?"
"Yes Malik, like Yin Yang. You are the Hikari, I am the Yami"
"Yami! Agh, so that's why my Rod blasted me back! You're in my body!"
"I've been trying to submerge, but as long as that fool Rashid stays loyal to you, or is alive, I can't seem to rise above you. But you can wait, in the dark ocean, I have my own body, that's limited to this dimension"said Yami Malik as he took physical form.
He was about the same size as Malik, give or take. He walked over towards Kari, who's mind was still under Malik's control.
"Ah, so pure, so innocent. Kind of like how you used to be Malik. That is until the pharoah came along"said Yami Malik as Malik's rage was un hidden from his face.
"Back oof of my mindslave"said Malik.
"You mean, our mindslave. I thank you Malik for brining her to us"
Out of the sea, came a bunch of black creatures, like the one Malik used his Rod to send off before.
They walked over and picked up Kari.
"What are you doing you idiot, I need her!"said Malik.
A rod appeared in Yami Malik's hand.
"You want the girl you must come through me"
Kari couldn't even move, the rod still had full power over her as she was dragged deep into the ocean. Malik normaly would've excepted the challenge, but he felt as though his body had been manipulated by his Yami. Was that possible? Whatever the case, Kari was gone. The dark ocean had gotten her.
*****************************************************
An arena had popped up when Joey and Bakura arrived, a shadow arena.
"Whoa, awesome!"
"So, you ready to duel Joey Wheeler?"
"Bring it!"
Joey:2000 Bakura:2000
"I'll begin. One monster in defence mode. Now it's your turn"said Yam Bakura.
Joey drew.
"Flame Swordsman, attack mode. Destroy his defence card!"
It was a Morphing Jar.
"Now we each discard our hands and draw a new one"
"I had some good trap cards in my hand too"thought Joey discarding.
"Now I place one card face down. Then a monster in defence mode"
Joey drew.
"Ph yeah, my Red Eyes Black Dragon! Now he's done. I even have a Time Wizard in my hand, should I ned it"thought Joey.
"Go Red Eyes Black Dragon, destroy his defence card"
It was another Morphing Jar.
"So long time Wizard"thought Joey.
"One monster in defence mode, that ends my turn"
"AGH! This is ridicolous, I shouldn't bother dueling at all"said Joey drawing.
"Giltia the Dark Knight! Attack!"
The monster was a Man Eater Bug.
"Man Eater Bug's effect is activated! But first I'll trigger a trap card, Just Deserts! For every monster on your side of the field, you lose 500 lifepoints"
"AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"screamed Joey as he felt the pain in his chest.
Joey:500
"Now Man Eater Bug, destroy his Swordsman!!"
Joey only had Giltia the Knight and Red Eyes out.
"To end my turn, I'll place a card face down"said Joey.
Bakura drew.
"Now I play Change of Heart, to take control of your Red Eyes Black Dragon, then play Polmerasation to fuse it with Meteor Dragon to create Black Meteor Dragon!"
It's attack power was 3500.
"Destroy his Knight!"
"Activate Kunai with Chain, this will stop your monster and raise Guiltia's attack by 500"
"It's still too weak you fool. Once I free Black Meteor Dragon, you will be just another lost soul in the shadow realm!"
***************************************************
"We're too late"said T.K.
"Don't you worry, I'll find this man and return the girl"said Yami.
"Thanks Yugi"said T.K.
Yami said nothing as he walked out.
However, he saw a flash of Kari in front of him, with red eyes.
"You!"
However, she morphed into a giant Black monster hidden by shadows.
"Kari is back where she belongs. Don't interfere if you wish to live"
"Your empty threats don't scare me you fake!"
"What was that!"
"You heared me. You are a coward, hiding behind children, truly shameful. I challenge you to a duel, and when I win, the girl returns"
"You'll never claim the girl. She is with us now"
To be continued...
