The chamber was frighteningly dark. Yugi could barely see his hands when he put them in front of him. But he could hear the chanting. It was in a different language and spoken to quickly for him to make out any words. The wall he was using to guide himself forward had vanished. Yugi shivered in the chamber daring not to move forward. He stumbled back into a body.
"Get off me Yugi."
Yugi grinned sheepishly at Kaiba even though Yugi knew they couldn't see each other well. Marik had yet to say anything as well and Yugi began to believe he was scared as well. Click. Click. Click. Yugi yelled at the sound of approaching footsteps. But a sound of a torch being lit gave Yugi a little less of a jump. He was not going to be snuck up on. The torch was lit and they looked up to see a small old looking man leering down on them.
"Get ready for the duel."
The old man chuckled to himself and threw the torch down at them.
"AHHH!"
The group scattered and the torch hit something above them. With a flash of light, fire moved across the top of the room. On a circular ledge above them the fire lit up the entire arena. Yugi moved to check out there surroundings. It looked as though they were in an old duelist arena. In the center were 20 slabs facing each other. An elevated pillar was in the middle of each set of 10 slabs. On two of the pillars next to each other, two figures stood. To their sides stood eight mages. Eight mages were also to the side of the two pillars opposite of them. In the middle of it all stood a hooded figure. And he was wearing... The Millennium Puzzle!
"My puzzle!"
"WELCOME LITTLE YUGI AND FRIENDS TO THE CHAMBER OF SHIUGAN! STEP FORWARD KAIBA AND YUGI TO FACE YOUR OPPONENTS."
The figures on the pillars stood up straighter and curled up their fists and uncurled them, ready for a fight.
"Finally they are here."
The boy on the left pillar spoke up looking angrier then the boy on the right. The boy on the right sighed looking bored.
"Who are you? Why are you wearing my puzzle?"
"IT IS MY PUZZLE! IT WAS STOLEN FROM ME A MILLENIA AGO BY YAMI. AND SOON IT WILL BE MINE AGAIN. STEP FORWARD... SETO KAIBA... AND YUGI MOTO."
"And what about me?"
"WELL MARIK, YOU WILL BE TALKING WITH AN OLD FRIEND."
Marik screamed in pain and he hit the floor. His eyes were wide with shock and he seemed to shimmer with an odd light. He grunted and hit the floor unconscious.
"Marik!"
Yugi stepped back as Marik raised himself up off the ground. But Marik looked different. His eyes glowed evilly and his face looked strained. His hair stood up in the air with a spiky fashion. Yugi and Kaiba reeled in shock of seeing him again.
"Marik's Dark Spirit!"
"It is good to be back. But I was long gone into the shadows. Who saved me?"
"THAT WAS I."
"And you are?"
"YOU SHALL SEE SOON."
Marik sneered and walked deeper into the chamber and into a hallway opposite of Kaiba and Yugi. The hooded figure followed him into the hallway and snapped his fingers. Yugi rushed to the door and slammed on it with his fists. He looked up to see writing on the door.
You had been warned.
