Light Yami punched the door in front of him. It was locked tight. He coughed up a bit of blood, and wiped blood out of the corner of his mouth. He stood up to his fullest and glanced around his cell chamber. It was dark, but he saw a glance of light at the other end of the field. He widened his eyes then dragged his leg behind him, going for the light.

'Must... reach...light.' Light Yami dragged himself slowly across the floor, and then without warning, the floor underneath him crumbled into nothing. Yami made a grab for the floor and missed. He yelled as he fell into the dark abyss.


Yugi screamed and set up sweating. Skullz snapped to attention, jumping out of his chair, and looked over to Yugi. Yugi panted, his dream still clear in his head.

'No Yami!'

'Yes, Na-Yugi?' Yugi frowned, certain that Yami was about to call him something else. But the dream came back to his mind...

'Are you alright?'

'Yes Yugi, why?' Yugi shook his head. Just a dream. But they are so real.

'No reason Yami.'

"Alright there, Yugi?" Skullz put on a face that he must have thought looked worried. Yugi smiled at his attempt. Skullz just had that sort of face that looked odd when trying concerned.

"Fine Skullz, go back to sleep." Skullz shook his head and pointed out the window.

"Pointless. We are here." Yugi pushed his nose against the window and mad a silent 'wow' motion with his mouth.

"We are putting her down Mr. Moto, Mr.?" The pilot looked back, expecting an answer from Skullz.

"Skullz is fine."

"Yes, Mr. Skullz." Skullz shook his head and sat back down. Yugi smiled and looked out the window to see where he was. They were circling a giant temple, somewhere in the Southeast Pacific Basin, outside South America. The temple was raised right out of the sea, no place to land. The pilot looked back at Skullz and Yugi frowning. "Misters Yugi and Skullz. Ever skydive?" Yugi's mouth dropped open and Skullz raised an eyebrow. "It is easy just read this."


Twenty minutes later, Yugi was strapping a parachute to his back nervous as hell. Skullz brushed his hair back with his hand.

"Ready Yugi?"

"Well I don't kn..." Skullz shot out his arm and pushed Yugi forward. He fell screaming, and Skullz just laughed, following Yugi out the plane.


Mark and Joey looked up to their temple in awe. It was huge, at least 300 by 500 yards located somewhere on the border of Kansas and Nebraska. At the top was a giant arm, pointing toward the sky. Joey scratched his head.

"How we get in?" As if to answer his question, the temple shook and a door opened in front of them. Marik smiled and pointed to the opening.

"You first Joey." Joey put on a brave face and marched deep into the shadows. Marik just smiled and followed.


Drip. Drip. Drip.

Kaiba stared at the giant slab in front of him. It was for sure the Exodia head. Kaiba sat on the floor, cracking his knuckles.

'Nothing here.'

'Did you expect something?'

'Yes. No. Maybe. I don't even know anymore.'

'Greedy aren't we?' Kaiba was surprised to here himself think that.

'Why am I talking to myself?' Kaiba stood up determined to drown out the voice in his head.

"COME ON! WHERE ARE YOU PHYSCO? DON'T YOU WANT TO STEAL EXODIA?" Kaiba fell to the ground at the last words he spoke. The ground shook in front of the tablet, and without warning, a figure shot out of a hole in the ground landing directly in front of the tablet.

"Exodia master, begin your challenge." Kaiba looked over at the figure. His eyes glowed red and a cloak whipped behind him. "Exodia master, begin the battle."

"I am no Exodia master. I am here to stop them."

"No man should stop the quest of the one chosen to wield the power of Exodia. If you are not him, you must die." The figure shot out his arm and Kaiba flew into the sky. He hit the ceiling with a thud. "Now be destroyed." Kaiba screamed in pain as he was held against the ceiling. The figure's eyes widened in shock and Kaiba fell to the floor with another thud. "He is him. How can that be? Why would he lie?"

"I am the Exodia master you will challenge." The figure's eyes came up to view the newcomer. His eyes lit up the chamber and pointed at the new man. "Lets Duel."
