A mist glides down the streets of Domino City. A lone figure stands in the middle of the street. Mist glances against him and you see that he is holding something. It is the Millennium Ring and it glows with a golden light. The figure holds it higher and the item springs to life and points down the street. The figure moves with guidance from the ring. Behind him the mist clears...

"Yugi?" The card shop is empty besides Yugi Moto and Joey Wheeler. They look like they have been talking for a while and Yugi looks tired. "Yes Joey?"

"It has to be done right?"

"Yes Joey, you know just as much as I do the perils of the game."

Joey looks over to Yugi. A flicker of his other self emerged, but only for a second. In fact, he might have just imagined it.

"Pharaoh?"

Yugi and Joey spin around to see Shadi standing in the doorway to the shop. Yugi's puzzle glows and Yami comes forth.

"Shadi. I knew you would eventually come."

"Yes my pharaoh. You know of the time?"

"Yes, and I am ready."

Joey looks confused as Yami and Shadi exit the store leaving him alone without answers.

"Shadi has come forth."

Voices are heard in the dark chamber, but through the shadows you see two figures and an empty throne.

"This is sooner then expected. Have you informed our Lord?"

"He has yet to return to us."

"The items were all supposed to be collected except the puzzle before he came forth."

"Shadi holds three items now anyway."

"Three?"

"Marik Ishtar and his sister both gave up their items. Marik gave his to Shadi, his sister to Yami."

"Then the table is set anyways."

"The darkness gave us a odd twist in fate."

"Yami will be powerless without his host. And without Yami, Yugi will fall without any problems."

"Yes, no mortal can stop the darkness"
