"What do you mean they're missing?" Seto said enraged. It was dawn and he had just been told about the escape.
"It must have been that strange man that has ruined our plans so many times before," Bakura said.
"We'll find this man and he will pay hand them over to us."
"You won't be able to get to him unless you have a boat."
"Why not?"
"We have followed his tracks before and they lead to the Crystal Lake."
"You," Seto said pointing to some nearby soldiers, "go tell Malik what happened and tell him we will need boats."
"Yes sir," one of them said before they all left to do as ordered.

Yugi sat on the boat looking at the sparkling water. His friends had fallen asleep again, only he and the strange man were still awake. Yugi eyed the dagger that lay in the man's belt cautiously. He didn't want to end up the same way as that guard.
"We'll be at land soon," the man said so suddenly that Yugi almost jumped back in surprise.
"Okay, I'll wake up my friends." The stranger suddenly stopped paddling. Yugi looked up and asked "is something wrong."
"Your voice, it sounds so familiar." The man began paddling again.
"I don't remember meeting you. I don't know what you look like though, so I wouldn't know," Yugi said as he woke his friends. It wasn't long before the group got to land. They followed the stranger up the hill that lay ahead. Beyond it was a small cabin. They walked up to it and entered.
"You can stay here with me as long as you like," the stranger said.
"Thank you…er… sir" Yugi said.
"Call me Yami." Yugi's mouth dropped and his eyes widened.
"Yami? Is it really you?"
"What do you mean by that?"
"Can you remove your hood?" Yami did as Yugi asked which revealed crimson eyes and tricolored hair that looked almost exactly like Yugi's except for a few extra gold streaks. "It is you. Everyone thought you were dead."
"Who are you?"
"I'm Yugi, don't you remember?"
"I'm sorry Yugi, but I don't remember anything before ten years ago." He walked over to a small box that was on the table. "The only thing I have from before then is this," he said holding up a golden upside down pyramid.
"Now I'm sure it's you. Grandpa gave that to you, he told me he did." Yugi took out his golden pyramid, which surprisingly was not taken by Bakura. "Did you solve that before you can remember?"
"No, it wasn't even started. The weirdest thing happened when I finished it though."
"What happened?"
"This voice came out of no where along with a very bright light."
"What did the voice say?"
"'In time of trouble one will find the light and one will march on. This is the Puzzle of Courage, who you are, you must march on.' Then everything became normal."
"That's exactly what happened when I solved the puzzle except mine is the Puzzle of Hope and I have to find the light."
"Yugi?"
"Yes?"
"Who am I?"
"You are my brother and a prince of this country. Actually, you would probably be the king if you were there." Yugi looked very sad now. "I hope grandpa's all right."
"Is your – our – grandpa the king?"
"Yes, I really hope he's all right."
"What's wrong with the king? Why aren't you in the castle? How did you get captured? Why are those soldiers after you?"
"Okay first of all you might want to know that the castle was taken over by a guy named Malik and another guy named Marik. Jou, Anzu, Ryou, Honda and I are the only ones that escaped. Malik knew I was gone since I'm the prince. Now his soldiers are out looking for me. Bakura captured us and was going to trade us for some gold. Then you saved us. There's something we can do to save this country though."
"What?"
"We have to carry out the prophecy."
"What prophecy?"
"The one the puzzle told you. 'In time of trouble one will find the light and one will march on'"
"What are we supposed to do, we don't know anything about this prophecy."
"Actually we do. We know that you're supposed to march on and I'm supposed to find the light."
"We don't know what that means though."
"I know, but do you see that eye on the front of the pyramid?"
"Yes, what about it?"
"That's the same eye that appears on the ancient temple on the west coast of this country."
"How do you know that?"
"There are pictures in grandpa's study. We should go there, we might find some answers."
"All right, but we'll stay here for today. Tomorrow morning we'll leave."
"That sounds good. Today we can have fun. Come on, I want to go explore this island."
