Chapter 2: Coming of Shadows

Off in the darkness a lone figure sits upon a small stool. Surrounding him is a wall of darkness. . .

'Soon . . . Yugi boy, very soon you will be within my grasp. . . and this time I will take that which is rightfully mine! Your soul, and your Millenium Puzzle! This time I will not be defeated so easily! Ahahahahaha. . . . . .'

meanwhile. . .

"Come on Yugi! We're going to be late!" A wise old man stood smiling up at him from the bottom of the stairs.

"Coming Grandpa! Just gotta get some things first." The over energetic Yugi shouted back down to his loving Grandfather.

"Alright, just make it quick!" Gramps left for the car, and heard Yugi plowing down the stairs. Yugi raced past his Grandpas' figure and dashed for the car.

"Let's go Gramps!!" Now it was Yugi who was the impatient one.

"Aright. . . are you ready for today's events?"

"Yeah . . . and with the support of my friends I know I'll never lose!" With that the Moto's car backed out of the driveway and sped off towards the Kaiba Corp. Building. When they arrived they saw the dynamic trio that was missing Yugi for the dynamic quartet. Joey ran over to the car as Yugi emerged.

"Hey Yug! Check out my deck now!!" Joey Wheeler shouted excitedly as he thrusted a handful of cards into Yugi's face.

"Sure why not. . . Oh my god Joey! A Blue-Eyes White Dragon!! How?!" Yugi's eyes were filled with shock.

"Easy. . . a bunch of duelists sent in letters complaining that only four B.E.W.D. cards was unfair so they began making more, and I got one!! Look at the other cards too." Both Yugi and his Grandpa had their jaws to the floor. The thought of the Ultra rare B.E.W.D card being re-printed was astounding. Still Yugi continued to search through Joey's deck. 'Huh? Machines, Dragons, and Zombies? What is he planning on doing?' Yugi was very confused as to why Joey would ditch the Crush Card combo.

"Hey Yugi take a look at mine." Taia ran over to the little Yugi, and he searched through her deck as well.

"Fairies, Angels, and Divines, not bad Taia."

"Thanks Yug."

"Does this mean all of you are going to compete?"

"Yep. . ." Yugi looked over at Tristan.

"Even you Trist?" Yugi was confused as to how, for his deck had been stolen on the Duelist Kingdom Island by Bandit Keith.

"I bought new cards from my uncle in Japan, and he got me the rarest cards around. . . here look." He gave his deck to Yugi, and again the little one began to search through the cards to find Tristan's strategy.

"Oh my god! Tristan you have three copies of the legendary Exodia!!!"

"What!?" All the rest of them gasped in disbelief until Yugi picked out all fifteen of the cards and showed them.

"Better watch are backs now! Exodia is a tough on to beat." A very familiar female voice was heard behind Yugi.

He turned around slowly..."Mai! What are you doing here?"

"Simple I'm gonna compete!"

"Well we all should go and register before the arena is closed off."

"Right!"

The five friends left for the tournament dome not know the danger they would be walking into. . .

From a window high up on the dome a shadowy figure lurks, and stares out the window...

'I've got you now Yugi.' His millennium Staff glows brightly. . .

"Huh? What's this! My puzzle is acting strange."

"How so Yugi?" Joey asked.

"It's glowing!" Yugi began to tremble and fell to the floor.

The glowing increased until all five friends were caught, and someone or something caused every single one of them to blackout.

When he awoke Yugi was in trapped within a dark room. . . alone!

Suddenly he turned to see someone sitting on a chair, or was it a stool?

Moving closer towards the figure a dim light shone in one eye. . .

'AH......no I sent you to the shadow realm!!! How?'
