Yugi drew his 5 cards. Kuriboh, Dark Hole, Fissure, Celtic Guardian, and the mysterious blank card, called Eden's Reckoning.

Yugi was baffled; he had never seen this card before. He decided to keep it to himself.

Yugi: You go first Jonathon.

Jonathon: He he, prepare for a harsh battle! I lay Gravekeeper's Curse face up in defense position. Also, according to this cards effect, you lose 500 life points!

Yugi, still admiring the card, took the damage without even looking.

Jonathon: Your move.

Yugi played Celtic Guardian in attack mode.

Yugi: Your move.

Yugi seemed to be in some sort of trance.

Jonathon: What a stupid move. First I draw from my deck… He he he. I sacrifice Gravekeeper's Curse for Timeater! I then attack Celtic Guardian with Timeater, both destroying him and bringing down your life points!

Yugi: You think I would let you do that? Foolish one. I sacrifice Kuriboh from my hand to reduce all life point damage to 0!

Yami: Yugi. I feel a strong force coming from that card you have. It seems like a force from the shadow realm. Maybe you should let me take over.

Yugi: So soon? All right.

YU-GI-OH!!

Yami: All right my move. Lets start this duel up!

Yami: I draw from my deck! 'Hmm… Rush Recklessly.' I lay two cards face down on the field.

Yami-Yugi's hand now consists of: Dark Hole and the mysterious blank card.

Yami notices another part of the card has showed up. Twelve stars… Must be strong.

Yami: Yugi, I feel weak. I think this card has something to do with it.

Yami collapsed.

Everything went dark. Only darkness, Yugi, and Mokuba. They were alone. Yugi looked down. The millennium puzzle was gone. One stray card fell from the heavens: Eden's Reckoning.

Yugi: Mokuba are you okay?

Mokuba: Yeah, but where are we? Where's Jonathon? Where's Yami?

Yugi examined Eden's Reckoning closer. Its defense had appeared. Yugi read, 'DEF/????'

Yugi: Mokuba, look at the card another part has appeared.

Voice: Hello? HELLO!? Dude, it's your turn! HELLLLO!?

Yugi looked up. His puzzle was back, and the darkness was gone.

Yugi: I'm sorry… I have to leave.

Jonathon: What!? Leave? We just started the duel! Ohhhhhhhh I see. You're scared.

Yugi: No… I just…

Yugi gathered his cards and walked away.

Yugi: Come on Mokuba.

Yugi felt extremely weak.

Yugi: Mokuba, did that just happen? Were we just in the Shadow Realm?

Mokuba: Uhhh, no. Maybe you're sick. Let's go back to the hotel room.

Yugi agreed. The walked back to the hotel where Yugi laid down. The phone rang.

Mokuba answered: Hello? Oh hi Joey. What? You wanna talk to Yugi? Ok here he is.

Mokuba handed the phone to Yugi.

Joey: Hello? Yugi?

Yugi: Yeah I'm here.

Joey: Jeez man you don't sound so good. Anyway, something really weird has been happening today.

Yugi: Same here. What's happening to you?

Joey: I got up early today to try to teach Serenity how to play Duel Monsters, when I pulled a nearly blank card out of my deck.

Yugi: What? This is creepy. That happened to me too. The only thing visible this morning was its name: Eden's Reckoning.

Joey: …My card's name was Odin's Reckoning. Do you think this has happened to anyone else?

Yugi: Possibly… Let's call up Tristan and Tea.

Joey: Good idea. I'll call Tea.

Yugi dials Tea's Cell Phone number. It rings a couple times then she answers.

Tea: Hello?

Yugi: Hey Tea, It's Yugi. There's something I need to ask you.

Tea: What? I'm having a weird day so hurry it up.

Yugi: Both Joey and me have had odd cards appear in our decks: Odin's Reckoning and Eden's Reckoning. We thought maybe you and Tristan might have had that happen to you too.

Tea: Yeah it happened to me. I got a card called Aeris's Reckoning. It's probably just a advertisement.

Yugi: I don't think so. Something odd happened today, I got sent to the Shadow Realm once again, but just for a brief time.

Tea: Maybe we should get together. Let's all meet at Duelist Center down town.

Yugi: Ok, I'll tell everyone.

Five minutes later Joey calls back. Yugi tells him where to meet them.

Joey: All right, I'll tell Tristan. He says he got a card too: Alexander's Reckoning.

The next day Tristan, Yugi, Joey and Tea meet up.
