Notes: You already know about the yami-hikari thing with the characters, thinking to self, and dueling.

Nabe was strolling the back-ways of Domino after his meeting with Yugi. He could sense his dark half was worried about something or another, but the teen was not concerned much about it. Sebak rarely told him anything of himself anyway, so why would he start now? In his chambers, the dark spirit was pacing fretfully. 'Why did that slow minded boy hand over the Manacle to the pharaoh?' grumbled Sebak. 'He is always thinking about himself; he never considers my opinions, granted if I tell him. It does not matter; he will soon be of no more use to me. As long as I play "nice," Nabe should trust me somewhat. But for now, I cannot do much, this new world is so vast and complex; my vessel knows more of it than I, he should do the work. I will just go for the ride until I can make my move.'
Turning a corner in the alleys, Nabe caught a glimpse of a duelist strong-arming another one for something. Curious, the teen stayed out of sight, watching them. Shortly, Mokoba Kaiba, the commissioner of Battle City, appeared, blowing his whistle fiercely. The bully duelist started auguring with Mokoba, plainly not intimidated by the boy. 'Stupid guy,' thought Nabe, 'he clearly does not know who he is dealing with.'
Expectedly, Seto Kaiba came into sight in defense of his little brother. The duelist was now afraid, until Kaiba set down his suitcase and offered him the rare cards inside to boost his deck with. Kaiba always liked to duel the toughest opponent possible. The idiot duelist faced Kaiba proudly, visibly sure of himself. But Kaiba was smug as always; he seemed to know, or at least think, he would always win. //He seems very confident. \\
Nabe started. /You startled me Sebak; you always talk so unexpectedly. What was your question? \
/That Kaiba always looks confident. Why? \\
/Oh, that's just how he is. You see, he used to be the best duelist in the world until Yugi beat him, Blue-Eyes White Dragons and all. I guess he still carries around his superior trait even though there's someone better that him now. \
//Blue-Eyes White Dragons? \\
/Yeah, only four were ever made. He has at least three that he duels with. \
'So the great Blue-Eyes was made into a Duel Monster card, interesting,' mused Sebak. //It looks as if they are beginning their duel. \\
Indeed, the duel was starting. Though very self assure, the other duelist was losing from the beginning. The beaten duelist that had been picked on and Nabe and Sebak watched the duel eagerly, wanting to learn as much as they could about Kaiba's dueling strategy. The duel progressed quickly and ended in a very unexpected way. Kaiba summoned his god card Obelisk the Tormenter. The giant, powerful monster crushed his opponent like a bug. Kaiba and Mokoba walked away with a victory, leaving the loser on the ground whimpering. Nabe stepped out of his hiding place and followed them. 'Kaiba said he's going after Yugi next,' thought Nabe. 'This I got to see.'
In his soul room, Sebak paced back and forth over the cold stone surface, the second time that day. 'Obelisk! They made the gods into monster cards! This gives me an idea, risky, but a very good idea.'
After trailing the Kaiba brothers for around ten minutes, Mokoba stopped, listening to his intercom. "That's weird," he said to himself. "Seto!"
"Hm?"
"The Tournament surveillance system just lost track of Yugi Muto, he's disappeared!"
"Disappeared! Impossible!"
'Disappeared? That's not good; I guess I should go look for him. I hope he's okay.' thought Nabe.
//What is wrong, has something happened? \\
/Yeah, Yugi's vanished. I'm going to go look for him. \
'The pharaoh's vessel is missing? This is not a good thing. He had better surface,' thought Sebak.
Nabe left Kaiba and his brother and headed back deeper into Battle City in hopes of finding Yugi.
****************************
Nabe wandered around Battle City for hours, not finding a single trace of his friend. 'Mokoba said Yugi dropped off their radar. Where could he be?'
//Having difficulty locating your friend? \\
/How do you kn—Oh never mind. Yes, I can't find him anywhere. Can you help somehow? \
//Yugi has the Millennium Puzzle, correct? \\
/Uh, yeah. You know about that? \
//Yes, I can sense the Puzzle's power; trace it even if I try. \\
/Could you trace it to help me find him? \
//Yes, but I will require the use of your body in order to do so. \\
/That's okay, but this time I want to watch, no more locking me up all right? \
//Agreed. I will meld our minds so I can use your body but you will still be aware of our surroundings. Does that sound good? \\
/Sure, go ahead. \
The Manacle glowed vaguely as the two consciousnesses joined into one. Outwardly, Nabe's body changed little. His hair spiked up more and his eyes turned from dark brown, almost black, to Sebak's characteristic burning coal color. Unknown to Nabe, his skin also darkened and thickened slightly, his nails turned dark and hard, and a pair of short, black horns sprouted in his ebony spikes, almost invisible. Sebak tested his new body, flexing the teen's powerful muscles. 'For a human, Nabe is not badly equipped.'
Sebak concentrated on his prison's power, scanning for Yugi's Puzzle. Finding it, the dragon spirit began tracking Yugi, moving towards the spot from were the Puzzle's power was emanating. After some time, he came upon a small building. 'The Puzzle is near here, under here.'
/Have you found Yugi? \
//Almost. \\
Sebak tried the door, finding it open. He went inside, down a flight of stairs to the basement and another door. This one was locked. Through it he heard voices. Placing his ear close to the door, Sebak listened in on the conversation. Apparently the duel was already over. It sounded as if some commotion was happening. Sebak probed the room with the Manacle of Set, searching for any magical presences besides the Puzzle. He found one, the same one that had possessed Rhona the Rare Hunter the day before. The spirit listened more keenly. He heard everything: Marik wanting the pharaoh's power and the three god cards, Yugi's promise to never submit, and the prophesies about the pharaoh. The sound of pounding feet broke him from his concentration. It was Yugi's friends Tristan and tea, his grandfather Mr. Muto, and Mokoba. "Hey Nabe, you looking for Yugi too?" asked the girl.
"Yeah," said Sebak, trying his best to emulate his vessel. It was difficult since his body was changed due to the melding. His voice was coarser and there were the obvious appearance changes. "He's in there."
"Well, let's get in there," said Tristan, shouldering his way to the door; forcing it open.
Inside they found Yugi holding up his opponent Arkana.
"It's Yugi!" yelled Tea.
"Hey guys!" said the little teen.
Sebak looked in through the busted door. They were taking care of Arkana and Yugi. There was no need for him here. Sebak returned to the surface, removing himself from Nabe's mind. //Your friend is fine. \\
/That's good. Thanks for helping me out. \
//It was nothing. \\
/Really, thanks anyway. I guess I should get back to dueling. \
//That would be a good idea. \\
Nabe resumed his duel hunting and Sebak returned to his rooms to chew over what he had just heard. 'So someone seeks the pharaoh's power. No surprise, he is very powerful. But Marik will never get a chance; Yami will be long gone before he gets close. I will deny him the god cards as well. They may be very powerful; anyone who owns one is almost unbeatable. But they forgot a crucial factor: me.'

SilverD: Ahhh. *stretches* All done with chapter seven.
DWyrm: Yes, three hours later.
SilverD: Shut up. It's worth it.
DWyrm: Really.
SilverD: You can be such a pain in the ass some time.
DWyrm: I do what I can.
SilverD: Ugh. Anyways, thanks to al reviewers.
Mina-chan AMD- Thanks! Keep reviewing!
Sdrive- We never watched The Mummy series, we got the idea from The Mummy Returns; The Manacle of Anubis. About your request, we would not mind putting you in. Just e-mail your cards to me, try to tell me what they do, i.e. monster card's stats and effects, and magic and trap card powers. If it is too much we'll be more than happy to make up some cards for you. But you telling us is easier, is so friggen hard to make up character's decks. At least tell us your favorite and most powerful cards. ^_^
DWyrm: Do not forget to review! -}^;;^{-
