Disclaimer: The characters of Yugi-oh and Sailor Moon do not belong to

Kazooie or myself. So please do not sue us! Although I love a good sailor

Moon story this is the first crossover where the story only uses the names,

looks and some personality.

Primarily a Yugi-oh plot line, which means there will be no transforming

into the sailor Scouts ever! Any made up people that we come up with like

the birth parents of the Kaiba brothers and Serena please don't steal them.

I have some people who will be OOC and whose ages will be different then

they were in the original Sailor Moon story. Serena will not be a ditz in

this story. Serena will be as smart as Amy will. The boyfriends of the girls

will all only be a year older then the girls. Also the outer scouts will not

be in this story! (Too many characters as it is)

Authors Note #1: Kazooie is no longer writing this story with me but I've

been given the knowledge that it is still a good story so I am sticking with

it.

Authors note #2: I want to thank Kazooie who helped me put together the duel

between Serena and Tommy! He also gave me the idea to rewrite the Yugi duel

which I originally made one-sided. Anyway as you're about to see the duels

Yugi will be in will be somewhat different depending on what cards I know or

can remember from the show so bear with me and let me know what you think!

Authors Note #3: For those of you wanting to know what Shiva the Ice Demon

looks like I don't have a picture of her, however, I can describe her to

you! She is as tall as the Egyptian God Ra, she is mostly white with blue

vertical strips running down both her sides. Shiva has long blue hair and

large white wings. Her effects as you will find out in this chapter are

instant attack only she doesn't go to the grave yard like Ra does, and the

amount of cards in your hand determines the attack and defense of the

monster like Slyther. I hope this helps!

Authors Note #4: I want to thank Rinicat who helped me come up with some

fresh new idea's for this story! Prepare to see things you've never seen in

the original series, but are in the MOVIE!

Author's Note #5: As to this chapter I am not going to be using some of the

Cards in Yugi and Arkana's duel like in the series. I don't remember a lot

of them! So instead I am going to change up the cards! Instead of the

monster Yugi/Yami used to protect himself against Arkana's Dark Magician I

am going to use the Millennium Shield! I hope to still make it a good duel!

Unknown Past by Thunderbird

On a boat out at sea somewhere in the Pacific Ocean, Merrik was sitting down

listening to his servant Odeon report on another duelist in Domino City.

"Master I have just gotten a report from one of our operatives in Domino

City about a fourteen year old girl who holds not only a Dark Magician but a

Red-Eyes Black Dragon!" Odeon said.

"Very good Odeon have Rita go after her, and while you're at it have that

fool Arkana go after Yugi Moto!" Merrik Ishtar ordered.

"It shall be as you order Master Merrik!" Odeon said with a short bow before

leaving the room.

"Soon Pharaoh I'll have your puzzle and you'll be in the Shadow Realm!"

Merrik said laughing.

Meanwhile back in Domino City after the duel between Yugi and the Rare

Hunter, Serena and her friends found themselves walking through the park

when they were suddenly stopped by a person wearing a purple robe.

"Hold it right there little girl!" The apparent Rare Hunter ordered.

"That person looks just like the guy Yugi fought!" Mina exclaimed.

"You're right Mina she must be a Rare Hunter then." Amy replied cautiously.

"Who are you and why are you after me?" Serena asked

"My name is Rita Williams and I have been ordered to take your rarest

card!"

"No way I thought you guys were after Yugi Moto!" Rei shouted.

"Oh we still are after him, but we are also after others as well!" Rita

said.

"Fine then Rare Hunter, LET'S DUEL!" Serena said before her Millennium

Scales shifted her over to Serenity.

Rita Williams: 4000 vs. Serena: 4000

"If you don't mind I'll go first by playing a magic card face down on the

field then I play Horn Imp in attack mode! I will then end my turn." Rita

said.

(1300/1000)

"Fine I'll play a trap card of my own face down and I'll play Mystical Elf

in defense mode! I'll then end my turn." Serenity said.

(800/2000)

"Very well then I'll play another magic card and sacrifice Horn Imp to bring

forth Labyrinth Tank!" Rita replied.

(2400/2400)

"Damn that Rare Hunter already has a strong monster on the field." Justin

said.

"Can she win?" Lita asked.

"Of course she can babe!" Nathan said.

"Yeah let's cheer her on!" Zack added.

"Zack's right let's give Serena our support!" Amy said.

"Yeah!" The others exclaimed. "Come on Serena you can do it!"

"Your friends have great support for you, but I'm afraid you won't win

this!" Rita said.

"Yes they do and we'll see about that Rare Hunter! For now I'll play Winged

Dragon Guardian of the Fortress in defense mode!" Serenity replied calmly.

Not in the least bit fazed.

(1400/1200)

"Alright now I'll play Crass Clown in defense mode!" Rita began.

(1350/1400)

"And then I'll attack your Mystical Elf with Labyrinth Tank! I'll now end my

turn." Rita grinned evilly.

"It's my turn and I'll sacrifice my Winged Dragon for Seiyaryu and I'll also

play a magic card face down." She said without breaking a sweat. Rita just

looks at her studying her.

(2500/2300)

"Good move little girl! I'll switch Labyrinth Tank into defense mode. Then

I'll sacrifice Crass Clown to bring forth Summon Skull!" Rita said.

(2500/1200)

"Then I'll play the magic card Hino Tama which will take away five-hundred

of your life points! Now I'll end my turn." Rita said.

Rita: 4000 vs. Serena: 3500

"I hope you are enjoying yourself!" Serenity stated as she studied the

field.

"Oh believe me I am!" Rita replied with an attitude cocky and assured.

"Good because I play Harpy Lady in defense mode!" Serenity began.

(1300/1400)

"I'll then activate the magic card Dragon's Gunfire which thanks to my

Seiyaryu allows me to attack eight hundred of your life points!" Serenity

said.

Rita: 3200 vs. Serena: 3500

"Your move." Serenity said.

"Very good.... Serena I can see you know how to play, but now I am going to

burn your life points! First I'll play Dark Fire Dragon in attack mode!"

Rita replied gleefully.

(1500/1250)

"Now I'll have my Dark Fire Dragon attack your Harpy Lady!" Rita said.

"How is destroying my Harpy Lady going to burn my life points?" Serenity

asked.

"That wasn't the only move I've got for now I activate another Hinotama

magic card!" Rita answered as the field moves to complete her objectives.

Rita: 3200 vs. Serena: 3000

"I've still got three-thousand life points!" Serenity told the vile woman.

"Not after I play the magic card Tremendous Fire! At a cost of five-hundred

of my life points I can wipe out one-thousand of yours!" Rita said

activating Tremendous Fire.

Rita: 2700 vs. Serena: 2000

"Be careful Serena this lady means business!" Darien shouted.

"I know!" Serenity smiled warmly at the small group supporting her.

"I'll end my turn now girl I wonder though are you ready to surrender yet?"

Rita asked.

"Never! I play the monster card Maha Vailo along with the magic card Book of

Secret Arts! Thanks to the Book of Secret Arts Maha Vailo's attack and

defense points go up by three-hundred but that's not all you see Maha Vailo

is an effect monster and his effect let's him gain five-hundred attack

points for each card equipped to him!" Serenity said.

(1550/1400) 300 500 = (2350/1700)

"So what my Summon Skull will destroy that monster next turn!" Rita screamed

thinking that she is on the verge crushing this young woman.

"Not if I destroy it first!" Serenity told her.

"How you don't have any monsters strong enough on the field!" Rita hissed.

"Simple all I have to do is equip Seiyaryu with the magic card Dragon

Treasure! This card raises my monsters attack and defense by three-hundred!"

Serenity stated sweetly.

(2500/2300) 300 = (2800/2600)

"No that's not possible!" Rita yelled.

"Oh but it is possible Rare Hunter!" The blonde replied. "Allow me to

demonstrate."

"Yeah come on Serena blow this robed weirdo away just like Yugi did to her

friend!" Justin and the others said.

"Right! Seiyaryu attack her Summon Skull now!" Serenity ordered.

Rita: 2400 vs. Serena: 2000

"And now Maha Vailo attack her Dark Fire Dragon next!" Serenity commanded.

Rita: 1550 vs. Serena: 2000

"I'll end my turn now Rare Hunter!" Serenity said.

"Fine I play Saber Slasher, but he's not staying long because I sacrifice

him in order to summon my Faceless Mage in defense mode! I will also equip

the magic Card Book of Secret Arts to it!" Rita said.

(1200/2200) 300 = (1500/2500)

"And now I'll use Labyrinth Tank to attack your Maha Vailo!" Rita screamed.

"I don't think so Rita!" Serenity said.

"Yeah right and how do you plan on stopping me from doing that?" Rita asked.

"Simple you've activated my trap card! This card is known as Reinforcements

and when activated it gives any monster I choose an extra five-hundred

attack boost!" Serenity told her.

(2350/1700) 500 = (2850/1700)

"But that means... instead of you losing life points, I will!" Rita cried.

"That's right!" Serenity replied with a smile.

Rita: 1100 vs. Serena: 2000

"Fine I'll end my turn!" Rita hissed.

"Good and now that your turn is over Maha Vailo's attack points return to

where they were before Reinforcements was activated." Serenity said.

(2350/1700)

"Now I play Baby Dragon in attack mode but don't get to comfortable because

it isn't staying! For now I sacrifice Baby Dragon in order to summon my Red

Eyes Black Dragon in attack mode!" Serenity said.

(2400/2000)

"No now you've got three strong monsters on the field!" Rita yelled.

"Yes and I believe that I don't even need all three to beat you." Serenity

told her.

"What are you talking about?" Rita hissed.

"You really haven't been paying attention have you? Very well here's the run

down just for you! First I'll have my Seiyaryu attack your Faceless Mage

then with no monsters to protect your life points all I have to do is use

Maha Vailo and you'll lose!" Serenity said simply.

"No!" Rita yelled.

"Yes...shall we see?" Serenity ordered. The field monsters attack and they

watch as Rita's life points are obliterated.

Rita: 0 vs. Serena: 2000

"I've failed!" Rita said looking scared.

"That's right now I believe you know exactly what I want....!" Serenity said.

"Fine here's my Faceless Mage and the locator card but don't think it's over

yet Serena Tsukino because there will be others like me to duel against!"

Rita said before running off.

"And I'll stop them all." Serenity thought as she phased back over to

Serena.

"Alright Serena you did it!" Terra exclaimed.

"She sure did!" Darien added with a warm smile.

"Man Serena that last dragon you played was wicked cool!" Justin commented.

"Thanks guys but right now I think we should keep moving. I still need four

more locator cards plus there could still be other Rare Hunters out there

like Rita said!" Serena replied.

"Serena's right let's keep moving!" Amy stated as they continued on their

way.

Elsewhere in Domino City....

Tea was looking around for Yugi when she ran into Yugi's grandfather.

"Hello Mr. Moto I didn't know you were here in the tournament?" Tea

exclaimed.

"Oh, I just came to watch Yugi duel." Mr. Moto replied.

"You know to tell you the truth I've wanted to watch him duel as well but I

can't seem to find him!" Tea replied with a baffled look.

"Well the Battle City tournament is a large place so perhaps we should keep

looking for him together. Two sets of eyes are better than one!" Mr. Moto

said as he heads off, with Tea following.

Little did they both know that Yugi was just a few blocks away. For at this

moment, Yugi himself was looking for anything to help him stop the Rare

Hunters.

It is at this time that he ran into a clown, who urged Yugi to follow him.

Yugi wasn't sure why, but he followed the strange clown. And as Yugi began

following the clown, Tea and Mr. Moto caught sight of the young man and

followed him.

Sometime later the clown led Yugi into a building and was followed in by

both Tea and his grandfather.

When the clown led Yugi into the building they made their way to a box that

looked like a magician's mystic cabinet. But as Tea and Yugi's grandfather

followed them, both were shocked when both Yugi and the clown had vanished

without a trace.

"Where did they go?" Tea asked.

"I'm not sure Tea but I'm sure they'll have to turn up somewhere!" Mr. Moto

replied.

"You think so?"

"Yes now let's go search for Yugi!" Mr. Moto said as both he and Tea took

off to find their missing companion...again.

In a dark room....

Yugi stepped out of the mystic cabinet and found no sign of the clown

anywhere in the room. As he looked around the room he took notice of a

computer sitting on a desk in front of him which suddenly came to life. When

Yugi stepped closer to have a better look he found a picture of himself

along with a picture of his Dark Magician next to it. All of a sudden the

screen began to fizzle in and out and then a large red see through version

of Yugi's Dark Magician appeared before him.

"What's this why is my Dark Magician here!" Yugi exclaimed.

"Sorry Yugi, but you are no longer worthy of having me in your deck! I

deserve a more powerful dueler to hold me in their deck and you aren't it!"

The Dark Magician replied.

"This isn't real! Come out here and face me coward!" Yugi ordered, realizing

what he sees is only an illusion.

"Very well Yugi Moto I'll face you!" A man in a mask said coming into the

light.

"Who are you? And you are not the same person I followed in here!" Yugi

replied wary and alert.

"Very astute Yugi, I'm not! He was only meant to bring you here." The man

cackled insanely.

"I'll ask you again, who are you and are you one of the Rare Hunters?" Yugi

asked.

"My name is Arkana and no I'm not a Rare Hunter, I am merely doing a favor

for them!"

"Why?"

"No more questions Yugi! You were brought here in order to duel against me!"

Arkana stated maniacally.

"Fine then Arkana what are the conditions?" Yugi asked shifting over to

Yami.

"Excellent Yugi the conditions are as follows! If you win I'll give you a

Dark Magician and one locator card!" Arkana told him.

"If you win?" Yami asked.

"If I win, I get your Dark Magician, a locator card and Merrik will get that

puzzle around your neck."

"Fine then Arkana let's duel!" Yami stated.

"No Yugi not here! My employer has set up a special dueling area just for

the two of us down in the basement." Arkana told him.

"Very well then Arkana let's go." Yami said beginning to get angry.

"Right this way Yugi!" Arkana giggled, leading Yami downstairs.

Once down in the basement a large door closes behind the two duelists.

"What is the meaning of this Arkana?" Yami roared.

"This my dear Yugi is the sight of our duel! Merrik has spared no expense

for this either!" Arkana replied.

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean, my dear naive Yugi, is that this room is completely cut off

from the outside world! You, Merrik and I are the only ones who know we are

here and we're operating independently from Seto Kaiba's computer system."

Arkana said laughing.

"But you won't get credit for winning this way!" Yami said.

"Please I'm really not interested in going to the finals anyway!"

"Then why are you really helping Merrik?" Yami asked.

"Because, Merrik had promised to return my Katherine to me...." Arkana said in

a longing sort of voice.

"And you believed him?" Yami exclaimed.

"Enough Yugi! I'm not here for a friendly chat, I'm here to duel you! I

will; however, give you the final two pieces of our duel!" Arkana said even

as leg cuffs locked around both Arkana's and Yami's legs.

"What is the meaning of this?!" Yami yelled.

"The meaning of this is that Merrik doesn't want you to get away before we

get a chance to duel, but don't worry if you win, the box in front of you

will open to reveal a key that will free you from the leg shackles. Now

then Yugi do you see the large blades on either side of us?" Arkana asked.

"Yes...What are they for?"

"Simple Yugi you see as we lose life points those blades will get closer to

us and if they should touch you they will send your mind to the Shadow Realm

for all eternity!" Arkana said laughing.

"You're mad Arkana, but it looks like I have no choice in this farce of a

duel! So let's begin!" Yami sighed.

"Wise decision Yugi let us begin!" Arkana said as both duelists prepared to

battle.

Meanwhile as Yami and Arkana prepare to duel in the unknown location, the

technicians in the tournament command center were having trouble.

Once Yugi had disappeared off their systems, they scrambled to locate him

anywhere in the city. At first they thought it was a glitch in the system.

So to make sure they checked again and found the same answers. That is when

they decided to inform Seto about the missing duelists.

"Mr. Kaiba sir we've got another problem!" One of the technicians said.

"What is it this time?" Seto growled.

"Sir we've lost contact with Yugi Moto's duel disk!" The technician replied

nervously, not wanting to incur Kaiba's wrath.

"What? Did you double check the system??" Mokuba asked as he was coming up

to check himself.

"Yes sir we checked it again just to be sure. But we came up with the same

results. Mr. Kaiba wanted us to keep a close watch on his disk and so I

rushed up here the minute we confirmed it."

"I see. Mokuba...." Seto commanded.

"Already ahead of you big brother!" The youngster replied as he sat down at

a terminal. "Hacking into the Domino City mainframe...."

"Good now bring up all the other computer systems excluding ours!" Seto

ordered again.

"Already done..." Mokuba replied as he gestured to a technician to complete

the task.

"Okay now I want you to get rid of all the systems that aren't compatible

with ours." Seto demanded.

"Right a way Mr. Kaiba!" The technician said following her orders which only

left one dot on the screen.

"Found him..." Seto replied with a look that sends shivers down the backs of

his employees.

"I'll go and check it out big brother!" Mokuba exclaimed heading towards the

door.

"Be careful Mokuba!" Seto replied with a gentle tone.

"Sure thing Seto!" The boy replied with a grin as he took off.

Back with Arkana and Yami the duel was just about to begin....

Arkana: 4000 vs. Yugi: 4000

"If you don't mind Arkana I'll go first by playing Gazelle The King of

Mythical Beasts in defense mode." Yami said.

(1500/1200)

"Very good Yugi I'm impressed! I play Saggi the Dark Clown in defense mode

and while I'm at it I'll activate the magic card Hinotama! This card

inflicts five hundred direct damage points to you!" Arkana said.

(600/1500)

Arkana: 4000 vs. Yugi: 3500

"I'll now end my turn Yugi and it looks like the blade is getting closer to

you!" Arkana laughed.

"I can see that Arkana but now it's my turn and I play Neo the Magic

Swordsman in attack mode!" Yami exclaimed.

(1700/1000)

"Noooo!" Arkana shouted.

"Yes and you know what I plan on doing now Arkana! Neo the Magic Swordsman

attack his Saggi The Dark Clown now!" Yami commanded.

Arkana: 3800 vs. Yugi: 3500

"Did you enjoy that Yugi?" Arkana hissed.

"I end my turn!" Yami said with a smile and nothing else in respond to

Arkana's question. Only infuriating the crazed man even more....

"Fine Yugi it's my turn now and I'll play Aqua Madoor in defense mode!"

Arkana said with a smile.

(1200/2000)

"Good play Arkana!" Yami said. "But not good enough, because now I'll

sacrifice Neo the Magic Swordsman in order to summon my Dark Magician!" Yami

yelled.

(2500/2100)

"No not again!" Arkana hissed.

"Yes again Arkana! I'll show you that working for a mad man will get you no

where! Now Dark Magician attack his Aqua Madoor!" Yami ordered.

Arkana: 3800 vs. Yugi: 3500

"So what Yugi my monster was in defense mode and I am still leading in this

duel!" Arkana laughed.

"Maybe for now Arkana but I shall win! For now I'll end my turn!" Yami

returned.

"Very well Yugi I'll place one card face down and I'll play Lady of Faith in

defense mode! I'll then end my turn!" Arkana said with a crazed conviction.

(1100/800)

::What is he up to, that is a weak monster compared to the Dark Magician!::

Yugi mentally said to Yami.

- -Yes Yugi I tend to agree and I don't trust that face down card either it

could be a trap!- - Yami responded.

::Yes but can we really take that chance and allow him a chance to summon

something that might be stronger then our monster:: Yugi asked

- -No we can not! Very well let's do this!- - Yami told Yugi, before

returning his attention to Arkana.

"That was a weak monster Arkana and I won't let you get the chance to

sacrifice it for a stronger one either! Dark Magician attack his Lady of

Faith now!" Yami ordered.

"Ha I think not Yugi for you've activated my trap card! It's called Beacon

to the Dark Nightmare Chains! This card will bind your Dark Magician

effectively keeping him out of our entire duel!" Arkana said laughing

hysterically.

"No my Dark Magician! You'll pay for that Arkana!" Yami hissed.

"Maybe Yugi but right now it appears that I have the upper hand in this

duel!" The crazed man replies.

"I'll end my turn now Arkana so make your move!" Yami ordered.

"Why thank you Yugi! I'll sacrifice my Lady of Faith in order to summon my

own Dark Magician into attack mode!" Arkana said laughing.

(2500/2100)

"Oh no!" Yami exclaimed.

"Oh yes Yugi prepare to have that Disk get even closer to you thereby

bringing you even closer to the Shadow Realm! Dark Magician attack Yugi's

life points directly!" Arkana ordered.

Arkana: 3800 vs. Yugi: 1000

"I swear Arkana I will win this duel!" Yami hissed after the attack.

"Then by all means Yugi I'll end my turn so you can make your last move!"

Arkana said sarcastically

Meanwhile...

Running down the street towards his destination to find Yugi, Mokuba ran

into Serena and her friends.

Accidentally bumping into Kevin, who is startled by the boy's appearance.

"Hey who are you kid and why are you in so much of in a hurry?"

"I'm sorry, I'm Mokuba Kaiba and I'm in a big hurry you see one of the other

duelists has gone missing and I'm on my way to find him!" Mokuba said.

"Which duelist would that be?" Serena asked.

"It's Yugi Moto whose gone missing!" Mokuba said hurriedly as he takes off.

"We'll come with you then and help!" Serena yelled as she and her friends

take off to help the boy search.

A few minutes later they ran into two more people. A young woman and a

short elderly gentleman....

"Hey Grandpa, look it's Mokuba!" Tea said with a smile as Mokuba and the

others ran up towards them.

"Yes but who are these people with him?" Grandpa Moto asked.

"Oh well their some new friends of ours! The girls are Serena Tsukino, Amy

Mizuno, Mina Aino, Rei Hino, Lita Kino, and Terra Shields. The guys are

Darien Shields, Zack Kurata, Justin Tanaka, Nathan Sanada, and Kevin Fukada.

Guys this is Yugi's grandfather, my other friends and I just call him

Grandpa!" Tea said introducing each one to which the person being named

bowed and said hello.

"It's a pleasure to meet you all!" Grandpa Moto said.

"Pleased to meet you as well Mr. Moto!" Serena said for the group

"Mokuba why are you in such a hurry?" Tea asked turning her attention to the

small boy.

"Well you see Yugi's gone missing and Seto and I think we may have found

him!" Mokuba said.

"Where is he then Mokuba?" Grandpa Moto asked. "It is not like my grandson

to disappear like this."

"He might be in a building not to far from where we are now!" Mokuba told

the older man.

"Then what are we waiting for let's go get him!" Lita said.

"Right lead us to where you think Yugi is Mokuba!" Grandpa Moto suggested.

"Sure come on guys!" Mokuba exclaimed as he and the others all ran off to

find Yugi.

Back at the duel with Yugi/Yami...

Yugi was close to losing the duel and it was his turn.

"Okay Arkana I place one Magic card face down and I place two monster cards

face down in defense mode! I'll then end my turn!" Yami said with a cynical

smile.

"Very well and just to seal my victory over you Yugi I'll play the magic

card Book of Secret Arts! This will give my Dark Magician 300 extra attack

and defense points more then enough to destroy you!"

(2500/2100) 300 = (2800/2400)

"Then go ahead and try Arkana!" Yami insisted.

"Very well Yugi! Dark Magician attack Yugi's face Down Monster on the

right!" Arkana ordered.

"I don't think so Arkana!" Yami said.

"Why?"

"Because, Arkana, you just attacked my effect monster known as the Man-Eater

Bug!" Yami said flipping the card over that Arkana had just attacked thereby

sending Arkana's Dark Magician to the Grave Yard.

(450/600)

"Noooo!" Arkana yelled.

"Yes Arkana and now I am ready to end this duel once and for all, once more

you'll be the one losing this duel!" Yami said triumphantly.

"What do you mean I have way more life points then you do!" Arkana yelled.

"Maybe for now but once I sacrifice my other face down monster I'll be one

step closer to winning!" Yami told the other man.

"Very well then I'll end my turn just to see your lame attempt at winning."

Arkana said laughing.

"Fine I sacrifice my Millennium Shield in order to summon Dark Magician

Girl!" Yami began.

(2000/1700)

"And thanks to her special ability she picks up an extra 300 attack points

for any Dark Magician in the Grave yard yours or mine!" Yami added.

(2000/1700) 300 (2300/1700)

"Yugi I'll still come out on top!" Arkana said with an evil grin.

"No Arkana I'm afraid not! You seem to be forgetting my face down magic

card, which I activate right now!" Yami yelled flipping over the magic card

Hinotama.

"Noooo!" Arkana screamed.

"Yes as you used this same card on me, I now use it on you to inflict 500

attack points on your life points directly!" Yami said with a smile.

Arkana: 3300 vs. Yugi: 1000

"You'll pay for that Yugi!" Arkana hissed.

"I don't think so Magician! Now Dark Magician Girl attack his life points

directly!" Yami began.

Arkana: 1000 vs. Yugi: 1000

"Now my Man-Eater Bug attack his life points directly!" Yami added.

Arkana: 550 vs. Yugi: 1000

"I'll now end my turn Arkana but just so you know this duel is about to

end!" Yami said.

"As I said Yugi you'll pay for what you've done!" Arkana hissed.

"By all means then show me!" Yami said.

"Very well Yugi I'll play Masked Sorcerer in attack mode!" Arkana replied.

(900/1400)

"I'll then have my monster destroy your Man-Eater Bug!" Arkana exclaimed.

Arkana: 550 vs. Yugi: 550

"I'll then end my turn!"

"I see you've made this a very close game Arkana but now I'm afraid it's

over! Dark Magician Girl destroy his Masked Sorcerer now!" Yami commanded.

Arkana: 0 vs. Yugi: 550

"No this can't be happening!" Arkana yelled as his life points were wiped

out.

As Yami took the key from the now open box, Arkana seeing the spinning disk

coming closer to him began to panic.

"I've got to get out of here but what do I do?" Arkana cried then he

remembered that he had hidden another key in his coat just in case something

like this occurred.

"Ha I'm not a master magician for nothing!" Arkana exclaimed as he took the

key out of his coat sleeve.

{{You mean a master of fools Arkana!}} A voice inside of Arkana's head

exclaimed as the key vanished.

"No the key it just disappeared! Where did it go?" Arkana yelled as he

unknowingly dropped the key to the floor.

As Arkana continued to scream and the spinning disc came closer to him, Yami

grabbed up the spare key and freed him from his impending doom.

Outside the building where Yugi and Arkana currently were, Mokuba along with

the others showed up just as Tristan did on his bike.

"Hey guys what's up?" Tristan asked.

"Oh Tristan Yugi's missing and Mokuba says they traced him here!" Tea

exclaimed.

"Well then what are we waiting for let's get in there and find him!" Tristan

said coming over to the others as the boys set about breaking down the

doors.

Back with Yami and Arkana, Arkana was slumped over on the ground with Yami

kneeling over him.

"Arkana are you alright?" Yami asked.

"No I'm not alright you fool I've failed in my mission and now Merrik won't

get me my dear sweet Katherine!" Arkana hissed.

"You fool...Merrik would never do something like that for you! Even if he was he

was going to let you die, should you lose!" Yami said.

"Your lying Yugi!" Arkana yelled.

"No it is you who is lying to yourself if you believe that Merrik would ever

keep his word!" Yami exclaimed.

Just then Arkana's eyes turned white and a golden eye appeared on his

forehead.

{{Greetings Pharaoh I see you managed to beat another one of my puppets!}}

The all too familiar voice of Merrik said through Arkana.

"Merrik how dare you use this man's heart as an ends to a mean!" Yami

roared.

{{Oh but it's simply a way to gain aid from those who have lost what they

treasure most. Pharaoh you should know I am not giving up on taking your

Puzzle from you! I am also going to take your Dark Magician from you as

well! So do be careful of the Quiet One Pharaoh!}} Merrik said before

releasing his hold on Arkana.

"You'll pay for messing with peoples lives Merrik this I swear!" Yami hissed

as he reverted back to Yugi.

It was at that moment that Yugi's friends and grandfather burst into the

room.

"Yugi are you alright?" Tea asked.

"Yeah I'm fine!" Yugi chirped peacefully.

"What in the world is all of this?" Rei wondered as she stared at the

'arena' with loathing.

"Merrik's sadistic way of dueling me for my puzzle...." Yugi said with a frown

as he looked sadly upon Arkana who was crouched in a mindless huddle.

"This is not a fair way to win a duel!" Serena exclaimed. Her heart

breaking at the sight of the poor man....

"To some...a game is worth life and death..." Grandpa said quietly as a couple

of the young men took Arkana between them and outside as Mokuba called for

medical attention.

"So what do we do now?" Tristan asked.

"Now we try to find Merrik and end this horror once and for all!" Yugi said.

"So that he can't do what he did to Arkana to another human being...."

"Good idea Yugi!" Tea said.

With that the large group of friends left the basement and headed for the

street. Once out on the street; however, a male voice called out causing

everyone to stop.

"Serena Tsukino I demand a duel!"

Well there's the long awaited Part 5 of Unknown Past. I'm sorry it took so

long! I'll try and have the next part out as soon as possible. I was working

on my Robotech Warriors story which is why this one took awhile. Well

Anyway I have to go...

"Leaving already? Rinicat asks as she wanders in.

"Well I got my other stories that I have to do...."

"I know...but I have a question?" Rinicat smiles with a curious gaze.

"What...?"

"I know I just looked over and switched a few things around...but who's

challenging?"

"Can't tell you..."

"Why not?"

"Wouldn't be fair, to my readers..."

"Please?"

"No..."

"Pretty please?"

"Why..."

"I already said why...it wouldn't be fair...."

"Come on...please?"

Readers look on as one author chases the other demanding to know who is

challenging who....
