Chapter 3
The Evil Comes Back
"Are you Bakura?" a man in a black robe asked another with white hair.
"And if I am?" the white haired kid replied.
"Because I want your Millennium Items,"
'How does this person know about the Items,' the one named Bakura thought in shock.
"My name is Sakijo. I am a Shadow Hunter. We want the Items so that we can have limitless power."
"The only way to get my two items is by winning a duel in the Shadow Realm."
"I accept. And I believe you are a competitor in the upcoming tournament or else you wouldn't have a Duel Disk."
"I'll go first if that's alright with you," Bakura stated.
"Fine. Let's Duel!" Sakijo said with great haste.
(LP:6000/6000)
"I place one card face-down and summon Trial of Nightmare (1300/900) in attack mode."
"I'll summon Celtic Guardian (1400/1200) in attack mode and attack your monster," Sakijo commanded as an elf appeared and slashed Bakura's monster.
(LP:6000/5900)
"I'll now summon The Portrait's Secret (1200/1500) in attack mode and end my turn."
"I'll now activate Wicked-Breaking Flamberge-Baou. I'll now discard my Guardian of the Throne Room to keep it active so that I can summon Guardian Baou (800/400) in attack mode. My Guardian then gains 500 extra attack points (1300/400). Baou, attack his monster." Bakura's monster was shattered. "Now I'll attack you directly with my Celtic Guardian"
(LP:6000/4400)
"And now Baou gains an additional 500 (1800/400)."
"Now I activate Destiny Board."
"That won't save you Bakura."
"Ahh, but you haven't ended your turn yet and when you do I'll be able to add the next letter of the Destiny Board."
"I end my turn. That gives you the next letter."
Destiny Board Pieces: F I
"Now Headless Knight (1450/1700) will come in defense mode."
'Ha those fools have no idea that I'm here.' a new deep voice thought.
"I'll now sacrifice my Celtic Guardian for Guardian Guraaru (2500/1000) after activating the Axe of Gravity-Guraaru. My new monster will destroy Headless Knight. And thanks to my Axe, Guraaru has 3000 attack and no monsters can change position. Now, Baou will attack you directly."
(LP:6000/1050)
"You just made a horrible mistake," Bakura said with a small grin.
Destiny Board Pieces: F I N
"I now activate the magic card Dark Door. Now only one monster can attack at a time."
'He must be more foolish than I thought. In order to finish his Destiny Board he's going to have to destroy Dark Door allowing me to attack him later.' Sakijo thought with a puzzled look.
"Now my Dark Necrofear shall appear in defense mode by removing three Fiends in my Graveyard from the game. That will end my turn." Bakura grinned
"I'll attack your Dark Necrofear with Guraaru. Then I'll add another piece to the Destiny Board by ending my turn."
Destiny Board Pieces: F I N A
"You fool, I was hoping you'd destroy my Dark Necrofear for two reasons."
"What are you talking about?"
"I can now play Dark Sanctuary," Bakura said as a red and purple dome full of faces appeared. "Second, I gain control of the monster you just destroyed it with. Come to me Guraaru."
"No, now you have my third strongest monster and I have no way of getting the others."
"Now, is it my turn?" Bakura asked impatiently.
"No, because I activate the magic card Cold Wave. This card will prevent you from placing anymore pieces for one turn."
"Fine, I now offer Guraaru for Dark Sanctuary. And now I end my turn."
"Huh, you fool. Your allowing me to attack you directly."
"Oh really," Bakura replied with a grin on his face.
"Yes and now I'll attack you directly with Baou. Huh, what's this your Life Points are going up while mine are going down."
"That's right. Because of another ability of Dark Sanctuary I can posses any monster on your side of the field."
"So that doesn't explain anything."
"You just lost 900 Life Points and I gained 900 Life Points."
(LP:5100/1950)
'If I end my turn now I'll lose and I can't prevent the end of my turn.' Sakijo worried to himself.
"Well, are you going to end your turn or try to stop my Destiny Board?" Bakura asked very impatiently.
"Well, well, well. If it isn't the small little pipsqueak, Sakijo," a female voice said.
"What are you doing here Masako?" Sakijo asked in confusion.
"You'll see when the time comes."
"I'll end my turn then," Sakijo said in dismay.
Destiny Board Pieces: F I N A L
"I win. And now to seal your soul here."
"No, no. Anywhere but here."
"Come on," Masako yelled to Sakijo as she jumped in front of him allowing the two of them to escape.
"What?!?! No!" Bakura yelled.
'This is my chance to escapee into the real world,' the deep voice thought.
"Thank you Bakura for releasing me."
"You again!?!?" Bakura said in disbelief. "How did you escape Marik."
"I used the gate you provided," Marik replied with a laugh.
"It doesn't matter," Bakura said calmly. "You don't have a body anymore."
"I'll have one and duel you again later. But for now I need to make a trip somewhere."
