United We Stand

"So long Dice Boy"said Calback.

"No matter, we merely restrategize. Besides, now we have our newest member"

Standing in the corner was Malik, his eyes nearly blank except for

frighteningly small puils, a demented and psychotic smile, as well as his hair

haning over his face.

"Malik, hand me your Millenium Rod"

Malik nodded and did so.

"Ah, the power of a millenium item. I can feel it's force

flow through me. I think I'll give it a test run. I'll use it to

take Yugi's Millenium Puzzle"

"Vendick, you know as well as I if you don't wi the puzzle, it's useless"

"You got me all wrong Calback, I will win it, however my presence won't

be required if you know what I mean"

Calback snickered.

"Let me take out that good for nothing pharoah"said Malik.

"Oh no my friend, I allready have a canidate in mind"

Calback looked over at Jane, her face and body lifeless

as she remained bound to the chair.

"Not her"

"Of course not, Jane will stay here, I have someone else in mind for this"

They were all outside Yugi's granpa's gameshop.

"Sweet, we're really back!"said Joey.

"Good to be back"said Yugi.

"I'm sorry I couldn't stop Selket-

"Hey, as long as we're here in one piece who cares"said Dejiro.

"Well I got a company to run"said Kaiba walking off.

"What! After all that, that's the only thing you

gotta say!"gasped Joey.

"I'd prefer to forget all about that if you

don't mind. Don't forget, you may have won

Dungeon Dice Monsters, but you'll never beat me in a duel"

"We'll see about that one Kaiba"

Kaiba merely hmphed and walked along. However he soon stopped.

Something did NOT feel right.

"Joey!"

Kaiba spun around at the odd yet familiar voice.

Everyone gasped:it was Serenity, with a dueldisk. She was limping,

holding onto her arm.

"Serenity, you should be in the hospital!"said Joey running up

and catching her before she stumbled.

However she shoved Joey away.

"Stand aside boy, you're in my way"said a possesed Serenity.

"Sis, are youze allright?"asked Joey.

"That's not Serenity!"gasped Yugi.

"Joey has a sister?"asked Dejiro.

"Haven't figured it out yet?Serenity is nothing but a vessel,

her mind has submitted to the power of my millenium rod!"

"Malik! No, it can't be!"gasped Joey.

"What is this"said Kaiba.

"Malik? Perhaps, perhaps not. It dosen't matter.

Yugi! I challenge you to a duel, and when I demolish you

with a deck specialy made for my mindslave, I'll take your

Millenium Puzzle, then I'll go for you Joey, and your

egyptian god cards!"

"Who are you!"demanded Joey.

"Can someone fill me in?"asked Dejiro.

"In order to be called Pharoah, I must obtain the

millenium puzzle, and the gods:Obelisk the tormentor,

Orisis the Sky Dragon, and the Winged Dragon of Ra!"

"You're mine!"said Joey.

"No, I want Yugi!"

"Don't worry Joey, I'll win this duel and free

your sister's mind!"

The millenium puzzle glew.

"YUGIOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Yami emerged from the puzzle.

"Swear to me that if I win, you'll free Serenity from your

control and reveal yourself to us!"

"Very well Yugi, now let the match begin!"

Their projectors launched off, their Duedisk set for battle.

"Crush this mind controlling menace Yug!"said Joey.

"Yeah, what he said"said Dejiro confused.

"Serenity Wheeler duel? No, it really is mind control!

But is Malik really back to his old ways?"thought Kaiba.

"Duel!"

Serenity:4000 Yugi:4000

"I'll begin. First I place a monster in defence mode. Then

I'll place one card face down on the field"said the possesed Serenity.

"My move!"

*************************************************************************************************

"Sorry Pharoah, but I'm afriad your time is limited,

and you've just about reached the experation date. Soon

I will be not just a measily pharoah, but a sovereign!"

**************************************************************************************************

"I place one card face down and summon Gamma the Magnet Warrior

in attack mode!"

It had an ATK of 1500 and DEF of 1800.

"Gamma, attack her defence card!"

********************************************************************************************

"Gullable"

*******************************************************************************************

"Thanks Yugi, now you've activated the effect of my Giant Germ!"

"WHAT!"

It had an ATK of 1000 and DEF of 100.

"When sent to the graveyard, the opponent

loses 500 lifepoints, then I can summon another

one to the field"

Serenity:4000 Yugi:3500

"Don't sweat it Yugi, it's nothing"said Joey.

"That Giant Germ may have taken 500 lifepoints, but

it's not that big of a deal. She should focus on getting

strong monsters out"thought Dejiro.

"It's my turn now Pharoah"

The possesed Serenity was quite happy with the card

she drew.

"Now I play Deliquent Duo. This magic card costs me 1000

lifepoints, with it I can randomly discard one card from your

hand"

She pointed to the middle one.

Yugi discarded it.

"Now you must choose one to discard"

Yugi did so.

Serenity:3000 Yugi:3500

"Why would anyone wanna give up 1000 lifepoints to

discard a coulple of cards from your opponent? That

move was a waste"thought Dejiro.

"That move was harsh on Yugi, discarding two cards

from his hand is gonna decrease his options drasticly on

his upcoming turn"thought Kaiba.

"Yugi has the lead for now but it may not be for long"thought

Joey.

"Now I play the magic card Goblin's Secret Remedy, which will restore 600

of my lifepoints"

Serenity:3600 Yugi:3500

**************************************************************************************************

"This is too simple, I'll have that millenium puzzle in no time

at all!"

************************************************************************************************

"Now I summon Crazy Fish in attack mode!"

It had an ATK of 1600 and DEF of 1200.

"Don't think I'm done yet Yugi, Crazy Fish, attack!"

Serenity:3600 Yugi:3400

"Giant Germ, direct attack!"

Serenity:3600 Yugi:2400

"Poor Pharoah"mocked Serenity.

"It's my move!"said Yugi drawing.

"I can't let her keep such an edge over me,

I have to counter"thought Yugi.

"I place one card face down and summon Beta the

Magnet Warrior in attack mode!"

It had an ATK of 1700 and DEF of 1600.

"Attack her Giant Germ!"

Serenity:2900 Yugi:2400

"Stupid move, did you forget my Giant Germ's

ability so soon?"

"What! You're gonna activate it again!"

"Did you really think I only had 2 Giant Germs

in my deck? Well not quite, so you lose

500 lifepoints and I can summon another one"

Serenity:2900 Yugi:1900

"Yugi's getting crushed, he better get a good card

soon"thought Dejiro.

"Whoever's controlling Wjeeler's sister is definetly

no amateur"thought Kaiba.

"C'mon Yug, whoop this bpdy controlling freak!"said Joey.

******************************************************************************************

"To believe no one was able to beat him in a fair duel before, he's nothing

but hot air, and I have the fan"thought Vendick.

************************************************************************************

"It's my turn Yugi!"said Serenity drawing.

"Now I sacrafice my Giant Germ and Crazy Fish in order

to summon Zoa in attack mode!"

It had an ATK of 2600 and DEF of 1900.

"Whoa, I remember that monster. Yug's in deep crud"thought Joey.

"Yikes!"thought Dejiro.

"To believe you had a reputation as a great duelist, you're nothing

but hot air. Now attack Zoa!"

"Hold it right there! Activate Spell Binding Circle! It will ensnare

your monster and lower it's power by 700 points!"

Zoa:1900

"Grr"

"Now it's my move! I sacrafice my weaker Magnet warrior so

I can summon my Beast Of Guilfer!"

It had an ATK of 2200 and Def of 2500.

"Beast of Guilfer, attack!"

Serenity:2600 Yugi:1900

"Now I place one card face down"

"You're so confident after that, aren't you pharoah? I'm just getting warmed up,

I promise you that you haven't seen anything yet, so be ready to fork over that

puzzle because you're going down!"
