Kaiba watched anxiously from his soul room.
"I end my turn!" Yami declared with a smirk.
Amaunet drew her card. She smirked. "Look what I have here, Pharaoh!" she cawed.
At being called this, Yami's attention snapped from his cards to his opponent. 'What the? That's the voice of the person who defeated me in my dream! It can't be . . . but the High Priest Seth . . . no . . .'
With that Amaunet played a card. "I play the Dark Hole Card! It destroys all monsters on the field!"
"My Dark Magician!" Yami cried.
"And now that I've disposed of that pitiful excuse for a Magician . . . I play La Jinn the Mystical Genie of the Lamp! Go my Genie! Attack the Pharaoh directly!"
"No . . ." Yami barely managed.
"Yes. You have lost, Pharaoh."
"But . . . who are you?"
"I am Amaunet, High Priestess." 'I wish I knew more than that . . .' she added in thought.
Kaiba was infuriated. He was on the verge of victory and this . . . this Priestess had taken his chance! He wanted to be the one to take Yugi down!
'Tsk, tsk, Kaiba. You probably would have lost without me,' Amaunet said through their link.
'How in hell do you come to that conclusion? I would have drawn Dark Hole at the time same as you! I still would have won!' he replied, still furious.
'Ah, you cannot be sure of that.'
'What do you mean?' he asked-thought, trying to hide his interest.
'I mean, the Puzzle is not the only Millennium Item that allows you to . . . use your deck more creatively.'
The still-irate Kaiba then took control back. Yugi changed back at the same time also. "It appears you have been defeated!"
"It also appears that you have a Yami, Kaiba," Yugi replied.
"No, I don't have a Yami. I have an Amaunet," Kaiba countered.
"Regardless what she is, it appears that the Spirit of the Millennium Rod is familiar with Yami. Perhaps they were 'business' partners in Ancient Egypt."
"I doubt it, Yugi. Amaunet took the Rod from High Priest Seth. Yami wouldn't get along very well with her," Kaiba stated matter-of-factly.
"Either way, good duel, Kaiba."
That statement brought Kaiba back to his rage. He was on the verge of victory! And she snatched his chance at finally toppling Yugi!
"Good bye, Yugi," Kaiba said curtly, and walked off.
*The Next Morning, 3 AM*
"Foolish Pharaoh! I shall topple you from your throne! And to think that the fool Seth almost did it! And you still think you can defeat me?!" Amaunet cried to Yami.
"Of course I can defeat you, Priestess! For I am Yu-Gi-Oh! I am the King of Games!"
"I know your titles well, Pharaoh. Regardless, I shall win!"
And with that the duel began.
Some nobles gathered around, faces hidden by cloaks. This was the final battle. Whomever won would take control of Egypt and possibly the world.
"I, as the challenger, shall go first," Amaunet declared.
She smirked as she looked at her cards. "First, I shall play the Blood Vorse in Attack Mode!" she declared. "And then it is your turn."
Yami looked at his cards for about a second, then said "I shall play the Mystical Elf in Defense Mode, equipped with the Book of Secret Arts! Now it is your move, High Priestess."
She drew her card and placed a Magic/Trap Card facedown. "And then I shall pass the turn to you, Pharaoh."
It continued on like this, exactly mirroring the gameplay of the duel between Kaiba and Yugi earlier. Except for one thing.
Amaunet never seemed to get the Dark Hole. It was the Pharaoh who won. It was the Pharaoh who used his Magician to win the duel.
"It appears I have won, Priestess. However, I shall not revoke your position, or your soul. You have earned my respect as a duelist, and as a person due to your determination. Also, this is because you did not play a Punishment Game when I lost to you, and you did not force me to relinquish my throne. However, I will not be so merciful next time."
"Very well," was her curt reply as she made her way back to her living quarters.
Suddenly Kaiba and Yugi both woke up in cold sweats.
"That . . . is impossible!" Kaiba cried out to the night.
'Is it?' came Amaunet's thought-voice. 'I don't believe that anything is truly impossible. Most thought it impossible that I, a woman, had managed to defeat the High Priest Seth in a duel and kill him. Of course the ultimate irony was I used the very Rod which I had just won from him to end his pathetic life.'
At the same time, Yugi called out to the night, hoping to reach Yami whom was in the Puzzle still around his neck. "What was that?"
Yami's thought voice answered him. 'It is apparently a duel. It looks as if it took place after the duel I dreamed of last night. That is all I can really tell.'
"I see . . . more of your undiscovered memories. I know we can find them!" Yugi said hopefully.
'Perhaps we can. I get the feeling that this Amaunet is quite important to my past . . .'
Back at Kaiba's . . .
"So, you don't know much about your past?"
'No . . . just basically my name and my former position. Whatever, go back to sleep, boy!'
"I am not a boy, but I do suppose I should go back to sleep," Kaiba stated.
Then both Yugi and Kaiba drifted off to sleep.
