CHAPTER 3- A Message Of Fait Everyone decided to head over to Yugi's house were they could plan what they'd do to stop the John guy. But the hardest part was that they still never saw John do anything, but they know it was him anyway. Yami sensed it while they were in the Shadow Realm. When they arrived the store was empty.

"Grandpa, Grandpa? Where are you?" Yugi called. He noticed the Open sign was still out. "he must be up in the bathroom if the open sign is still out." Someone walked into the store, but they some how were producing a large amount of light making it impossible to see who it was at first.
"REVEAL YOUR SELF YOU NUTCASE!" Joey yelled at him. The light was coming from his chest. He Was Wearing some robes and had A Millenium Item Around his neck. The Millenium key. It Was Shadi.
'It is Shadi I wonder why he is here, he must have some information for me and Yami.' Yugi thought. Tristan and Duke looked at the man. They knew they had seen him before, up top the Battle Ship in Battle City Finals, The Two were fighting about Serenity, and flew off the top and were handing on to the side. When He appeared and saved their lives. But when Tristan turned to thank him, he was gone.
"Who are you?" Tristan asked him as he got off the counter he was sitting on. Shadi walked forward towards Tristan.
"My name Is Shadi, I am a Guardian Of the Millenium Items." Shadi replied.
"Why'd You save me and Duke back during Battle City?"
"Why should have I?"
"Where'd you come from though" Asked Duke. As he sat up on the counter. And looked down in the display case of Duel Monster's Cards.
"My Millenium Key allows me to go to places where there is a disturbance with THe Millenium Items. On The Battle Ship, five items were gathered before I arrived. Once I arrived all seven were there. So my presence was needed" Shadi said. "Any more Questions?" He looked at Tristan and Duke.
"No, none from me. What abut You Tristan" Duke said as he looked at Tristan
"Actually I do, What are you doing here?" Tristan said. He looked right up at Shadi.
"I am here to talk to Yugi. I have known Yugi for quite sometime now. And Am here to warn what Destiny has inshore for him." Shadi said. Joey stood up.
"But Yugi is the one with The Millenium Necklace, It allows him to see the future, not You." Joey said.
"True but It can't tell him all. It can't tell him what the ancient scripture have in store for him." Shadi said. He noticed Yugi wasn't in the room anymore. Téa and Bakura weren't there ether. "where did Yugi Go?" Tristan pointed to the door that leads up stairs. "Very well" He walked over and opened the door. He walked up the stairs and entered Yugi's living room. He saw Bakura siting on the couch next to Téa. "Where is Yugi Muto" Téa pointed to Yugi's room. And Shadi walked onwards and entered Yugi's room. Yami sensed his entrance.
"Shadi, Good to see you" Yami said. As He appeared as a ghostly figure next to Yugi. "How may I help you today?"
"I am here to Warn you of the future." Shadi sat down on Yugi's Bed. "There is an evil force forming more powerful then the power of all seven Millenium Items. But not as strong as The Egyptian God cards" Yugi and Yami looked worried.
"Is this evil lead by someone named John?" Yugi asked. As he puts on the Millenium necklace and sees when John was introduced to the class and when Duke got mad at him. "Shadi is his name John."
"I can not tell you, for I a still not sure of it. I found out about this when the Scriptures around the Valley Of the kings were erased and only one was left that said BEWARE OF THE POWER OF OUR FORCES, FOR YOUR MILLENIUM ITEMS WILL CAN NOT STOP OUR MAGIC. This questioned me, but when I heard of your shadow game earlier today, it came to me this disturbance came from here in Domino city."
"Today at school there was this new kid named John and he is weird. Duke said he was looking at Me And the Millenium Puzzle weird today, like he wanted to control it's power." Yugi told Shadi, then saw another vision by THe Millenium Necklace. It was when Yugi And Yami defeated Pegasus In Duelist kingdom. "Shadi do you think this has anything to do with when I defeated Pegasus?"
"I don't Think it would, but somehow it just might." Shadi said. Just then A load explosion was heard from a distance. Yugi ran over to the window to see if he could see anything. All he saw was smoke from the other side of town. When Yugi turned around, Shadi had disappeared.
"We may have more of a challenge then we thought Yugi" Yami said. And Yugi agreed. The two then went back downstairs to the game shop where Everyone else had went. Yugi then remembered that his grandpa wasn't there when they got there, and still wasn't there. He had seen all the rooms in the house, and he wasn't there.
'I wonder where he could be.' Yugi thought as someone else walked into the shop. It was Rex Raptor The dino Duelist. He was holding his wallet in his hand. He looked at the people there. He was surprised to See Yugi and the others.
"What are You doing here Rex?" Joey asked. As he wondered what he may want.
"I am here to buy some cards for the new Duel Monsters Tournament being thrown here in Domino Town, I need new cards so I am not out after the first round like in Duelist kingdom and Battle City. I need to regain my Title I made in the regional Championships. So where is the owner of this store?"
"New Tournament....." Joey said slowly. "how do I enter Rex?"
"All you have to do is show up at Domino Square tomorrow at nine AM" Rex said "now where can I get some help around here."
"oh my grandpa isn't here I guess, so I can help you." Yugi said opening the cash register.
"Fine then Yugi, Give me a Box Of Labyrinth of Nightmare and a box of Magic Ruler." Rex said
Yugi went over to the shelves an took the two boxes of cards off and put them in a bag and hit a few buttons on the Register. "That will be 170 Dollars." Yugi responded. 'I wonder if Rex really is gong to by this' Rex opened his wallet and laid two hundreds on the counter top. "Yugi opened the resister and gave him thirty dollars in change. "Please come again!" Rex turned and left.
'I'll show those people who the real Duelist is after I win in this Tournament;' Rex thought as he left The Game Shop. Soon Joey brought up the tournament.
"hey do you think we should enter this Tournament?" Joey asked
"I am no matter what happens" Yugi said
"I'll Enter too, I fell like a good Tournament after watching Battle City Finals" Duke responded
"well you guys know I am entering right?' Joey asked
"You are really Joey?" Tristan asked. "I thought you'd be in the rejected area."
"Tristan!" Joey yelled as he punched him in the stomach. Yugi noticed the clock. It was three thirty. School had just ended.
"Duke Don't you have a game to attend to at your shop?" Yugi asked
"Yes, I is time to find out the truth about this John Guy!" Duke said. They all gathered their stuff and left the store, Yugi remembered to close the store too. They ran down the road, until they came to AREA that was blocked off by the police. It was right by the shop.
"I am sorry, but an explosion has occurred and on one may pass this line." An officer said.
"What happened?" Duke asked "what exploded?"
"It was the Game shop over their, some one planted a bomb in there I guess and it was destroyed" The officer said. "the entire staff is believed to have died."
"THAT STORE BELONGED TO ME!" Duke Yelled. "I am Duke Devilin, creator of Dungeon Dice Monsters!" The officer looked at him, and could tell he wasn't lying. But meanwhile, up high in Domino sat the most richest person in Town, Seto Kaiba. Eating his dinner while using his laptop, he came across a Website for the New Tournament.
' a Duel monsters Tournament here in Domino City' Kaiba though 'these idiots must have seen how great my Battle City tournament Was here in Domino.' Kaiba stood up and headed over to get his Duel Disk from on the shelf. "I am going to prove to Yugi who the Better Duelist is!" Kaiba yelled "No Matter what happens, My Deck and skills will not be defeated by Yugi Muto Ever again." Kaiba slips his deck into the Duel disk and walks out of the room. But Kaiba was ready for anything in this Tournament, While The others were all at Dukes Disaster site.
"I don't know what I am going to do." Duke said while looking at his store.
"Well We could try and win the million dollar prize in the Tournament and Build You a new store." Téa said
"It still could never work. I would never be able to do it." Duke said. He looked out into the rubble to see his Dueling Arena was still in good condition. "Look there under the fallen roof."
"It is part of an Arena" Tristan added Tristan ran into the mess from the building and saw it was all there, just a little dirty. "It is great, only a little dirty!"
"It sure is strange that it wasn't destroyed isn't it" Bakura said, "I would have though something that big would crush into pieces" Tristan returned from the disaster.
"well what are we gonna do with it?" Tristan asked
"allow me to have It moved out of this spot and moved to a new position in my Garage at home." Duke said as he looked through all the garbage. "why did this happen. Who did this too my shop?" They heard someone walking up towards them. They turned around to see John.
"Oh my what have we here?" He said as he looked right at them with an evil look. Tristan looked as if was ready to fight John.
"Why you little!" Tristan said, but John looked unfazed as Tristan ran up towards John. "That is it, I am going to tech you a little lesion. Tristan jumped up and was about to hit John's chest with his foot, when suddenly Tristan froze in Mid-air.
"And I'll Téach you a lesion not to mess with me." John said. He looked up at Tristan and grinned. "Now I'll show you why you shouldn't mess with me." His body began to glow and then he held up a card that looked familiar to Yugi and Joey. Glory Of The Kings Opposite Hand. It was a card they had used to qualify for Duelist kingdom finals and to claim the prize money. "Now I claim you soul for my Master's collection of Worthless Souls!" Tristan's body was sucked into the card and his face appeared on the card.
"TRISTAN!" cried everyone as John laughed looking at his card.
"Why I should Téach you a lesson!" Joey said
"Joey Don't. He will do to you what he did to Tristan." Yugi said. Yugi turned to John. "Why are you doing this John. What did we do to you?"
"It is by the orders of my Master!" John said. "He seeks the power of the millenium Items." John looked at Yugi's millenium Puzzle. "And your two items will do nicely for my Master's Collection, I challenge you to a Duel for them. Winner takes the Item."
"I will accept only if you agree to free Tristan's soul if I win!" Yugi said
"Sorry, but your friend's soul has been sent to my Masters quarters." John told Yugi "I no longer can free him"
"But how are you able to take souls out of the bodies with out a Millenium Item in your control?" Yugi asked. John laughed when Yugi said that. He looked up at Bakura.
"I'll Show You!" John said Bakura froze as he pulled his soul into a card as well. "You see it is all Magical powers from my master." He looked at Bakura. He was amazed to see Bakura was still there after his Soul was removed. Tristan's body had been sealed in a card, while Bakura's Body remained standing. "Did my spell fail?"
"No I am sorry it didn't, but it has freed me!" Bakura said. The millenium Ring appeared on his shirt. "Marik may have banished me into the shadow Realm during Battle City, but if you remember Yugi to banished me into the mysterious Realm, and Millenium items can find their wanted masters, Even if they get a new master."
"Another Millenium item!" John said with pleasure. "My master will like."
"hum hum. You mortal, you deserve to be sent into the shadow Realm." Bakura said. The millenium ring began to glow as all it's pointers moved around. Soon the area around Yugi, Bakura and John grew into shadows and they entered the Shadow Realm. "If I win your soul will belong to me, while if you win you may have this." He pulled something out of his pocket. The millenium Eye. "My Millenium Eye" Yugi was shocked to see the eye again. He knew it had been stolen but didn't realize Bakura was the one who stole it.

"Fine I accept your terms. But what game will we play?" John asked.
"I heard in class today you have a passion for duel Monsters Card game. We will duel right here on the Dueling arena that has been left here that wasn't destroyed by the explosion." Bakura answered. The Dueling arena that was covered in trash and dust floated over to a flat area and was cleaned off as if it was new. "LETS DUEL!"
"I'll make the first move." John said. "I Summon the Mystic Tomato (1400/1100) in Defense mode!" A Tomato with a face appeared on the hologram field. Only it was real since they were in the Shadow realm. "I End my turn."
"Very well. I play Two Cards face down on the field." Bakura said. Two squares by Bakura began to glow yellow. "And next the Change Of heart card! It allows me to control your monster!" The Tomato was shifted on to Bakura's Side of the field. "Next I will sacrifice your tomato for my Earl Of Demise! (2000/500) And attack your life points directly!" The monster knocked John to the ground from the attack.
'this isn't good. I have never dueled in the shadow Realm. These monsters seem as if they are real as me and him and he seems to be an expert Duelist and Shadow Game player." John thought. Bakura noticed he looked Worried as he watched his life points drop. Lp- Bakura- 4000/John- 2000
"What do you think of my monster. Now it is your turn." Bakura said while smiling his evil smile. "fine then. I summon my Zombia the dark (2100/400) in attack mode!" john said as he threw his monster on the field. And it appeared in front of him.
"So life like isn't it." Bakura said. "I am sure you understand in the shadow Realm the monsters are as real as we are. You must support your monsters with strength and your own power. If not you will fall into the shadow realm with out having to lose." Bakura said happily. This caught Yugi's attention.
'it is just like when I dueled Pegasus in Duelist kingdom.' Yugi began to remember what had happened.
{{"We must keep our mind shuffle strategy going. It is the only way we can beat Pegasus' Magic" Yugi tells Yami as they switch control. 'I must draw one more card, even if it is my last I draw it, even if I can't make it at least there will be one card Pegasus won't know about.' Yugi looked at the card. 'please let this card able to beat Pegasus' Yugi played the card face down on the field. Then he fell to the ground. He had fainted and lost his soul. Only if Yami could defeat Pegasus could he save Yugi's soul.}}

'it is just like then. But I can't let Bakura stop forcing attacks on him after what he did to Tristan and Bakura. Not to mention Dukes Store and the Téachers at school.' Yugi thought. "Bakura we may have different opinions on things, but We both agree that this fool must be sent to the shadow realm. Sealed in here for ever!" Yugi yelled. The millenium Puzzle shined and glowed. "Yu-Gi-Oh!" Yugi and Yami's sprits were merged into one.
"And that must happen now, or He'll gain The Millenium Eye!" Yami said. Bakura looked at Yami.
"Yugi I will help you defeat him. But don't think this will be an every day thing, I seek power of the Millenium items and I will gain it." Bakura said holding the millenium ring's rope in his hand. "And I will get the power I Desire!"
