As Yugi's Egyptian God Card vanished from the field, he was left in shock
and wonder while Nightmare was laughing manically.
"What's so funny?" Yami Yugi asked.
"Oh you'll see," Nightmare/Salazar said.
Nightmare Salazar's turn-
Nightmare drew his card and because Ceremonial Bell's still on the field he showed it to Yugi and didn't make any sense, it was the Egyptian God Card Saint Dragon God Osiris.
"How can you have Osiris!?" Yami Yugi asked.
"That Egyptian God Card you just used was a fake but this one is the real deal," Nightmare/Salazar said. "I'll sacrifice my three monsters to bring out the real Saint Dragon God Osiris (X000/X000)," as his three monsters vanished, the two-mouthed, long red dragon appeared on the field and it roared at the sight of Yugi. "Since I hold three cards in my hand, Osiris' attack and defense are 3000. Now Osiris attack your former master's life points directly, Thunder Force!" The God Card gathered blinding white energy from his lower mouth and fired it directly at Yami Yugi.
Nightmare/Salazar: 3100
Yami Yugi: 2300
Yami Yugi's turn-
Yugi was in complete shock over what had happened and was very confused. 'My own Egyptian God Card's a fake and this guy has the real one,' Yugi thought to himself, then he looked at his phony card and noticed something, there wasn't a stone background behind Osiris but pure blackness. 'How could I have not seen that? Two years and I've forgotten what a card looks like.'
"Hurry up so I can finish you off," Nightmare/Salazar said.
Yugi then drew his card, and said, "I play Curse of Dragon (2000/1500) in attack mode ending my turn."
"But from Osiris' effect, he destroys any monster with 2000 or less attack. Summon Light Impact!" Nightmare/Salazar said, and it was so, the upper mouth of Osiris shot a blast at the yellow dragon destroying it from the field.
Nightmare/Salazar's turn-
"Now Osiris, attack and wipe out the rest of this pathetic duelist's life points, Thunder Force!"
As the red dragon gathered energy in his lower mouth, Yami Yugi said, "Yugi, I am so sorry... I tried."
Then the blast was fired and it wiped out Yami Yugi's life points, and reverted back to Yugi.
Nightmare/Salazar: 3100
Yami Yugi: 0
Joey was in a state of shock as much as Yugi as he fell to his knees in the sight of his best friend's defeat.
The platforms dropped and Yugi walked over to Joey, but Nightmare came to Yugi and Joey and said in his normal voice, "I believe you must keep your end of the bargain, hand over your puzzle."
"WHAT!?" Joey shouted. "How... Dare... You even think you should get anything from that duel, you cheated to win that duel, and Yugi's not giving you ANYTHING!!"
In rage, Joey threw a powerful punch across Nightmare's hooded jaw, and the other black hooded men pointed their guns at Joey.
"No," Nightmare said holding his jaw. "Use your fists."
The other six black robed laughed and either punched their fists into their other hand or cracked their knuckles and got ready for a fight. Joey didn't care about the odds; he and Tristan once took on twenty guys at once and won. Then three of the black robed men charged at Joey with their fists pulled back. As they arrived and threw their fists at Joey, but Joey acted quickly and stepped back to avoid the attacks and he stepped forward and threw both of his arms and punched the black robed man on the left and right knocking them to the ground, and he drove his right leg into the abdomen of the other black robed man knocking him to the ground as well. However it seemed the tables turned when another black robed man came from behind and grabbed Joey by his waist and the other two black robed men charged at Joey to punch him out. Joey had other plans when he raised up his arm and let it drop elbowing the black robed man in the head, releasing him and Joey turned around and punched him right in the face knocking him down too. The remaining two arrived to Joey and tackled him from behind. Normally, Joey couldn't lift both their bodyweight, but in his state of rage, he overpowered them both, stood back up and turned around to face them. The two went to double-punch Joey but he tackled them both to ground.
"Who else wants some of this?" Joey said to the six beaten-up black robed men.
He looked around then saw Nightmare and noticed he was as tall as he was and knew he could take him, "Now you're gettin' it." Joey charged at the eliminator and threw a punch towards Nightmare's face, but Nightmare had swift reflexes and he caught the punch, with his free hand, he threw a punch into Joey's gut and then with his hand grabbing Joey's arm, he threw him over his head and slammed Joey hard into the ground.
"Joey!" Yugi shouted as he ran over to help his friend up but he had his back turned to Nightmare.
"You fool," Nightmare said as he grabbed the chain behind his neck and the puzzle rose up to Yugi's neck and choked him. "You should've ran while could."
Yugi gagged as Nightmare's grip on the chain grew and he lifted Yugi off the ground hanging him.
"Yugi..." Joey groaned, but his rage couldn't lift him up from what Nightmare did to him.
Nightmare dropped the chain, dropping Yugi to the ground, coughing but as Nightmare walked away, Yugi was on his hands and knees trying to get back up and said, "No... my puzzle..."
Nightmare ignored Yugi and the six black robed men got back up, still in wobbling around after Joey beat the crap out of them and one put the unconscious Michael over his shoulder and they left Yugi and Joey.
After 20 minutes of walking, Nightmare and the six black robed men arrived to the castle and as they walked up the many steps, two black-suited guards were at the door, but as soon as they saw Nightmare, they both pulled out key cards and placed them in slots behind them and the huge metal doors opened up and the seven walked in.
They walked down the hallway and made several turns facing two wooden double doors then Nightmare turned around facing the six black robed men.
"I'll take it from here," Nightmare said and looked at Michael. "Go put that somewhere."
Nightmare then opened the doors and Salazar was sitting across a long table watching TV from a projected silver screen that came out of the ceiling. Nightmare walked over to Salazar and pulled out the Millennium Puzzle.
"Master Salazar," Nightmare said. "I am pleased to give you the Millennium Puzzle."
Salazar turned his eyes to the black robed man whose face was still concealed, "Excellent work. Muto never had a chance, huh?"
"Nope," Nightmare said and he pulled the top card off his deck. "I believe I was only supposed to borrow this card, so here you go."
Salazar took the card and glanced at it, it was the Egyptian God Card Osiris he then turned back to Nightmare, "You retrieved the Millennium Puzzle, well done, now where's the Millennium Tauk?"
Nightmare remained silent, then said, "I... uh... didn't get it."
Salazar's face went from pleased to angered, "You didn't? Well why not?"
"What's the point? Yugi was devastated after losing his puzzle he'll never pick up a card again," Nightmare said.
"I don't care if you broke both his legs and arms!!" he shouted as he stood up revealing the Millennium Rod clutched tightly in his right arm. "But as long as he holds a millennium item, and one that can see into the future, he can be one step ahead of us!!"
Then, one of Salazar's servants came in to see what the commotion was. But as he entered, Salazar gave him a dark look and pointed the Millennium Rod at him and the servant was brought down to the ground then, a barrier of darkness covered the servant and when it faded, he was gone. Even Nightmare was shocked at what happened, and then Salazar's dark look had faded and he was panting, with a feared look on his face, and he dropped the Millennium Rod to the floor.
"Master Salazar?" Nightmare asked. "Are you alright?"
"Y-yes, well it's late, I'm going to turn in," Salazar said as he went for the door. "But be sure to get the Millennium Tauk by tomorrow. Use Osiris again and if you can, use that other card I gave you."
Nightmare took off his hood and sighed took the red Egyptian God Card and placed it in his Duel Disk. Then he looked down at the Millennium Rod, he knew what it capable of, but something told him not to take it and he placed his hood back on and began to exit the castle.
~Meanwhile~
An hour passed since Yugi got his Millennium Puzzle stolen and Joey was recovering his injuries from Nightmare by sleeping. Yugi couldn't sleep from what had happened and he pulled out his Millennium Tauk and looked at it.
'I should've warned Yami,' Yugi thought. 'But I was knocked out, so he didn't know what he was up against. Yami's strong, he won't give in to Salazar, but maybe I should take a closer look at my predictions from now on.'
Yugi then placed the Millennium Tauk around his neck and tried to see the future, he closed his eyes and focused hard trying to see something and after about a minute he opened his eyes and saw the future.
This vision was very different, he saw Michael he had three monsters on his side of the field while the opposing duelist had none. Yugi saw Joey himself, and another person that he couldn't make out. Then Michael sacrificed one of his monsters but before anything else could happen, Yugi had returned back to reality.
Yugi was panting, but something had cheered him up, 'Michael's back, at least he's still safe and it looked like Joey and I are cheering him on.' Yugi sighed and lied against a tree trunk to go to sleep.
~Salazar's Castle, 3:42 AM~
Salazar was tossing and turning in bed and then he awoke and looked around. Then he exited his bed and went back into the Dining Room and saw the Millennium Rod was still where it was on the floor right by the chair he was sitting at. He hesitated at first, but something in Salazar's head told him not to get it but an even greater force told him to grab it. He did so and that unsure force died within him.
"Hmm?" Salazar then noticed the Millennium Puzzle that was placed on the long wooden table. "Ah yes, one more millennium item, which resides in it is the Pharaoh, but what's this? I sense two spirits in the Puzzle... but without a vessel, neither of them can be reached. It seems Yugi will be getting his puzzle back sooner than expected..."
"What's so funny?" Yami Yugi asked.
"Oh you'll see," Nightmare/Salazar said.
Nightmare Salazar's turn-
Nightmare drew his card and because Ceremonial Bell's still on the field he showed it to Yugi and didn't make any sense, it was the Egyptian God Card Saint Dragon God Osiris.
