Chappie 3: Stones, Lies, and Returns

Mako looked at Joey, who was under Marik's brainwashing. Mako yelled at Joey," Please Joey, what has happened to you!" Joey just stared as he played Panther Warrior in attack mode and 3 cards face down. Mako drew Water Omotics and played her in defense mode. Joey drew his next card, which was Bistro Butcher. "I summon Bistro Butcher in attack mode!" Joey said," And then I play Scapegoat so I can sacrifice one of them to allow my Panther Warrior to attack your defense monster!" Panther Warrior destroyed Water Omotics reducing Mako's life points to 3950."That's not all!" Joey said," I attack your life points with Bistro Butcher!" Bistro Butcher attacked Mako's life points reducing it to 2150. "It's my move Joey!" Mako said looking at his cards. "Man, I only have level 5 and level 6 monsters in my hand and no magic or trap cards either....man I am one goner." Mako thought. Mako ended his turn in guilt. "I sacrifice another Scapegoat to have my Panther Warrior attack your life points! Then Bistro Butcher will attack your life points too!" Joey yelled. Mako fell to his knees his body slowly was turning into stone. "Jooooey, I uhhh sorry, pleeease uhhhh, remember our promise, please uhhhh....." Mako said before his body turned to stone. "I don't make promises fool, unless it is to destroy." Joey said as he walked on by the now stone statute of Mako.

Kiaba walked to where Marik told him to meet him at. Kiaba was excited to gain Obelisk once again. Kiaba turned to an alley near the clock tower in Domino City. "Where is he?" Kiaba said. "Well Seto I am right here." Marik said, walking from the shadows that hid him"Did you think I would abandon my promise?" Marik then pulled out a case, opened it, and revealed Obelisk the Tormentor. Kiaba took Obelisk and walked on without saying another word. "Seto is a fool if he can't tell that the card I gave him is a counterfeit. I can't go and give god cards to anyone; they have to defeat me in a duel!" Marik thought as he walked on laughing" The nightmare will come little Yugi, and there is nothing you can do about it!"

Trusdale was cleaning up the Turtle Game Shop when 3 guys in dark robes came in the shop." How can I help you?" Trusdale said. The 3 robed freaks knocked Trusdale down as they started breaking glass and grabbing cards. Just then Dartz walked in the game shop, grabbed a broom, and started to hit the three robed freaks. "Leave him alone you freaks, he didn't do anything to you so back off!" Dartz yelled as the three robed freaks ran off. Trusdale slowly got up and said "Thanks young man for stopping those freaks." "No problem, by the way are you Yugi's grandfather?" Dartz said. "Yes I am, why did you ask?" Trusdale said. "No real reason, but when you see Yugi, can you tell him that I, Dartz stopped by?" Dartz said reaching for the door. "Sure thing!" Trusdale said. Dartz walked out the door, looked at the clouds, and walked on.

Yugi stared at the stone statue of Weevil Underwood. Just then Mai pulled up next to Yugi and said"So Yugi, the new rules of the tournament got you down?" Yugi said" Yes, I don't think it is right to be turned to stone if you lose a duel. Kiaba has gone off the deep end this time; no one deserves to become a stone statue, no one!" Yugi said while tears started to fall down his eyes. Mai then said" Yugi, I know the rules are unfair, but the faster we get to the finals, the faster they will turn back to normal." "You are right Mai, once we are in the finals, everyone will turn back to normal, and we will all make it to the finals, me, you and Joey!" Yugi said wiping the tears from his eyes. Yugi got in Mai's car, and drove him to the Turtle Game Shop where Tea was waiting for him. "Hey Tea," Yugi said getting out of Mai's car" How are you doing?" "Just fine Yugi!" Tea said. Just then Trusdale came out of the game shop." Yugi, there was a person here for you; I think his name was Dartz." "Dartz, why did he come?" Yugi asked. "Oh he just dropped by!" Trusdale said. "Well you guys, I've got to go, see ya tomorrow!" Mai said driving of into the night sky.

Joey walked to Domino Sea Port to near Marik was. Marik's Millennium Rod glowed yellow and gave Joey these orders" Tomorrow, I will come to your house. You will let me in and I will change your pathetic deck into the strongest beat down deck ever. After that I will escort you to my next destination, which I will explain to you tomorrow." Marik's Millennium Rod stopped glowing and Joey fell to ground." Rare Hunters, take Joey to his house, when he wakes up, he will remember only of what I have told him!" Marik walked to his boat" The first part of my plan is complete, soon little Yugi will fall, and I will summon one of the greatest evil of the world, and no one can stop me!"
