"Now its over!" The kid stood in front of a hooded Exodia guardian. He sneered at the hooded one and lifted a card high above his head. "Time to beat you with my favorite card! By sacrificing Celtic Guardian and Revival Jam I can summon my favorite monster! Go Dark Magician!" Yugi looked down from the top of the monster surprised to hear the name of his favorite card echoing through the cavern. A brief flash of light brought forth the summoning of a Dark Magician. Yugi frowned at the form the Dark Magician took. It was the eviler looking version of the magician used during his duel with Arcana. "I could devastate you now Mr. Hoodie but I want to save my surprise for you Yugi!" The kid spun around and pointed at Yugi grinning.

"I cannot just watch this," Yugi jumped out of the whole in the chamber wall he and Skullz were viewing from. His feet skidded across the sanded hill as he picked up speed, before putting his hand down and scraping up dirt to slow him down at the bottom. The dirt cloud dissipated slowly to show Yugi with the millennium eye growing bright on his forehead. His hare had arched and he stood up straighter and taller than before. Yami had come forth. "Stop the duel at once!"

"You wish pharaoh." The kid spun around to face his original opponent, "Go now! Dark Magician! DARK MAGIC!" The magician spun his stave in his hand before resting it pointing toward the hooded one. A black aura surrounded the staff before shooting out and hitting the one in the hood. The hooded one clutched his stomach as he rocked into the wall behind him. But in horrid realization, Yugi figured out what the hooded one hit.

"No! The Tablet of Exodia!" But with a devastating shock, the tablet was lit. The Left Leg of Exodia had risen.

Kaiba twitched, and slowly opened his eyes. Then with a jolt he remembered where he should be. And where he should be, was not in a plane.

"Umf," Kaiba opened his eyes wider in shock to notice he was tied up and gagged. He heard footsteps behind him and a hand grabbed his shoulder and spun him harshly around to face its owner.

"Seto Kaiba. My master's been waitin for ya. Real eager and such to meet ya. Dunno why. I coulda just killed ya back in the cave but, I guess boss 's got sometin special for ya." The man speaking had bright blond hair and was chewing something that smelled horribly like tobacco. He wore a black jumpsuit and a white X across the chest. He leaned forward and sneered shuffling through three cards back and forth in his hand. "These cards 'ere. The Blue Eyes White Dragons. I been wantin' 'em for a wile now. But…" The man stood up and stretched. "It ain't proper to steal from a weakened man." The blond haired man went over to Kaiba and untied him and took the gag off.

"Who the hell are you?" Kaiba stood up quickly and grabbed his wrists, flexing his fingers.

"I'm Od. The all powerful." Od's eyes glowed evilly and he chewed faster on his tobacco. "And I'm the last one you'll ever duel, my friend."

Light Yami sat cross-legged on the floor, the millennium eye glowing brightly on his forehead. Light flashed from around his body, but as his light went out, a greater darkness seemed to press in on him. Dark Yami continued to taunt him by allowing him the energy to watch the world outside through Yugi's eyes, but be unable to contact him. Light Yami's face became scrunched and a particularly large blast of light filled his chamber. But a rush of darkness silenced it too.

"What are you doing Hikari?" Light Yami's eyes stayed closed but he frowned.

"Nothing at all Kuragari."

"Yes you are Hikari. You are trying to warn my little Nakaba?"

"Don't call him that."

"I will call my puppet what I wish. But if you'll excuse me I have a duel to win."

"Bastard. Yugi is no puppet of yours. Why are you doing this? What is this Exodia power you are always mumbling about?"

"An interesting story. One which is easiest to tell by my own memories…" Light Yami's eyes widened in shock as the colors around him swirled and a new room laid in front of him.

'What is this?' Light Yami demand a response several times before hearing footsteps coming toward him. He swirled around and almost tripped realizing he was floating. 'A memory… is this what Kuragari meant.' Light Yami floated over towards the footsteps and a new doorway. When he reached it he came face to face with himself. "AH!" Light Yami leapt back in shock, but the other Yami didn't seem to notice. He was caring a torch with a puzzle dangling around his neck, and a headdress on his head. He swept the flame into the room and put it down on two stationary torches. With a blast of fire the whole room was lit. And to the shock of both Yami's, another person was in the room.

"I've been waiting for you pharaoh," Light Yami was amazed to see Kaiba standing in front of him in an ancient Egyptian cloak. "Your late." His eyes sparkled mischievously. "I was beginning to think that a pharaoh was capable of tomb robbery." The other Yami stared at the ancient version of Kaiba with a frown. He walked up to him until they were an inch apart. Then, to Light Yami's surprise, he smiled.

"Of course I'd come. My friend." The two embraced in a quick hug and patted each other on the back. "And I'm not the pharaoh yet," The other Yami stated, "There is still some ceremonies to be done."

"And why do you come here? All the power you want is with the throne."

"Not the power my predecessors hid from me. The great power of a God himself." The other Yami smiled, "Exodia." Kaiba smiled and pointed to the tablets behind him.

"For years I've wandered into this tomb reading over this scriptures… but even I cannot decipher them."

"And you thought who better than a future pharaoh to read them." Kaiba laughed.

"Yes. You caught me old friend." The other Yami walked up to the wall and touched it. Suddenly light burst from the wall and shot through the room. Light Yami shielded his eyes until the light passed and looked ahead to see Exodia standing in front of him.

"Is this… it?" The other Yami asked. He reached out to touch Exodia, and was flung across the room as though lightning shocked him. The other Yami stood up and brushed sand off his robe. "Damn what is this?"

"SILENCE!" All three of the figures in the room jumped in shock.

"Did… Exodia just speak…?" Mumbled Kaiba.

"SILENCE!" Yelled Exodia again, "LESS YOU WISH NOT TO HEAR OF MY SECRET, SON OF PHARAOHS LONG PASSED."

"Yes, I'll here it!"

'Me too' Thought Light Yami.

"SON OF PHAROAH LISTEN WELL,

HERE MY WORDS NOT OF SPELL,

POWER OF THE 5 WILL ALL BE YOURS,

IF THROUGH THE WORLD BE YOUR TOURS,

TEMPLES IN EACH CORNER OF THE EARTH,

THE JOURNEY BE NOT IN MIRTH,

AND RECEIVE THE POWERS YOU DO SEEK,

BE AS EXODIA AND NO LONGER WEAK…"

"What the hell does that mean?" The other Yami asked but with a flash Exodia was gone. And with another flash Light Yami was back in his prison chamber.

"Wha…?"

"I hope that explained it to you… Hikari."
The chambers floors cracked with power from the Left Leg of Exodia's power. The kid remained unfazed as the chamber shook with power around him. Yami and him locked eyes and didn't move. The kid breathed in and went into a dueling stance.

"The Great Ia challenges you to battle!" Yami flung part of his shirt to the side to reveal his duel disk.

"Fine. You will pay for summon Exodia. Get ready to be defeated." Yami's duel disk clicked into position and whirred to life. "Lets duel."

Marik and Ex stood watching each other for along time until Ex tilted his head to the side.

"Are you going to duel Ishtar? Or have you realized your defeat is already foretold?"

"Shut up." Ex stepped back in surprise of the coldness in Marik's voice. Marik held the card with Joey's soul in it in his hand. He gave it one last glance and put it in his duel pouch. His duel disk clicked into position and whirred to life. "Lets Duel."

Kaiba shuffled his deck and placed it into his duel disk. Od watched over him tiredly, and looked happy about his stalling.

"O common Kaiba. We dueling today or tomorrow?"

"Today is the last day of your wandering around this world. I will defeat you with everything I am, destroy you with everything I can be!" Kaiba's duel disk clicked into position and whirred to life. "Lets Duel."
