"Oh no, Yuri!" said Tea as she ran to him
Tea held Yuri tightly as he laid there unconscious. She then noticed the fading light that was coming from the millennium puzzle that was around his neck in its complete form. She gasped as she saw this. Joey, Tristan and Mai then walked up and they all saw the puzzle around Yuri's neck.
"How is that possible? Both Tristan and I saw you take that thing apart, and only Yugi knows how to put it together," said Joey with shock.
"Apparently Yuri found where I hid it, and he completed it, guys look at him, I don't know what happened to him but he is in bad shape, we got to take him back," said Tea with tears in her eyes.
"What about the millennium puzzle, what are we going to do about it," said Tristan.
"Well we can always take it apart again," said Mai
"…my…puzzle…" said Yuri in his sleep.
"We will let Yuri have it until he wakes up, then we must explain to him that he cannot have it and we will have to take it apart again, right now…I feel that it's the only thing that's giving him comfort right now," said Tea.
They brought him back and took him to the hospital. Yuri was rushed in and taken to the doctor, the doctor put Yuri in the best care that they had, and they put an air mask on Yuri's face and other equipment on him that would save his life. Tea was next to Yuri crying her eyes out next to Yuri.
"Guys, I'm going to stay next to Yuri for a while," said Tea.
"I will stay with you Tea," said Mai.
"No Mai…I need to be alone."
"Ok, you heard her boys, lets go," said Mai as she pushed Joey and Tristan out.
"Hey Mai take it easy you don't have to push," said Joey
"Yeah, I'm with Joey on this one," said Tristan.
As they left, Tea took Yuri's hand. He was in bad shape, but it didn't look like he had a scratch on him, it just seemed that he was having trouble breathing. Tea looked at the millennium puzzle, still surprised at the fact that he completed it.
"Yuri…what were you thinking," said Tea as she slowly fell asleep next to Yuri.
Yuri remained in a coma for a couple of days, and while Yuri was in his coma, he was practicing with pharaoh at duel monsters. Even though Yuri at the right cards for the right strategies, he failed to know how to use and execute them properly, this is where the pharaoh helped Yuri, he taught Yuri everything he knew and told him all the stories about his adventures with Yugi.
"Thank you for teaching me Pharaoh," said Yuri inside his dream world that he created while in the coma.
"It's no problem, I hoped that I helped you, and remember that I will always help you when you need it," said the Pharaoh
"Pharaoh on thing, why do you think I was able to solve the millennium puzzle? I mean I thought it was you and Yugi's destiny to save the world, and you lost to Shrin and now I hold the millennium puzzle."
"It must be your destiny to bring the millennium puzzle back to Yugi."
"Maybe your right, but until then I must improve my dueling skills, there should be the usual duel of the day today, its where everyone gathers to the dueling arena to see people duel it out, it builds strength for the people who watch and for the people who play. I will go there however I know that everyone will try to stop me because of what happened. So I'm thinking about going in there undercover, and I want to test my dueling skills to the max by dueling three duelists against me. That will be the only way if I can test the power of my deck and the power of the Egyptian god cards."
"Good point Yuri, well its time for you to awake now, no one is currently watching you right now, so if you plan to leave you better go now."
"Right Pharaoh, but one more thing, will I ever see or talk to you again?"
"I will be the voice in your heart; as long as you listen I will guide you whenever you need guidance."
"Thank you Pharaoh."
"You're very welcome Yuri."
Yuri woke up, just as the pharaoh said, there was no one watching him. He quickly got up and saw that his pair of clean clothes was on the chair next to his bed, probably laid from the nurse who would change him every day until he would wake up. He quickly changed and put his shoes on, and then he slowly and casually walked out of the hospital area and found a black sweatshirt with a hood on the top of it.
"Hmm this will do nicely," said Yuri as he put the on the sweatshirt on along with putting the hood over his head.
Yuri also made it so that the hood would cover part of his eyes, so that some people would be able to see the upper part of his face if he were to walk with his head looking partially downward. He walked to the dueling arena and put in his request. The people who managed the dueling there loved the idea and put him up for the first match of the day.
"Just to let you know kid, it will be about three hours before your match will start," said the manager there.
"Don't worry I will be here, I will be prepping up until then."
"Just one thing, what three duelists would you like to face?"
"I would like to face Rex Raptor, Weevil Underwood, and Bakura."
"A great line up indeed, but how come you don't want to face the great Joey Wheeler or Pegasus along with Bakura?"
"Because, I want them to watch, I have a couple of surprises that I want them to see, oh can you do me favor?"
"Yes, what do you want?"
"Make sure Tea Garner, Serenity Wheeler, Joey Wheeler, Tristan Taylor, Pegasus, Rebecca Hopkins, Duke, and Mai Valentine have front row seats, they always complain that they cannot see, and I want them to have a good show."
"No problem sir, I will inform them right away of there seats, and I know what seats are the best in the house, and I will make sure they have it."
"Thank you very much."
"Oh sir, one more thing, what is your name? I need it for the announcements."
"Just call me….the unknown duelist."
"Thank you very much sir."
Three hours had passed and the arena was filled with people. Like Yuri asked, everyone he knew was in front to witness the first three on one duel that has ever been thrown in the dueling arena. Everyone was excited, however Tea, even though she was excited, was sad that Yuri would be missing this first time event.
"And now, the moment you have all been waiting for, Weevil Underwood, Rex Raptor and Bakura, V.S. The Unknown Duelist," cried the announcer.
The crowd gave a loud cheer as Bakura, Rex and Weevil entered the center of the arena. They all waved to their fans, all except Bakura who was waiting for his challenger to appear. Then on the other side of the arena came out a young man whose upper face was covered by a hood. Bakura could not see his challenger's face, which bugged him because he liked to see the look of terror in his opponent's eyes
"Since this was the challenger's idea, I give him the first move of the duel," cried the announcer.
"Don't mind if I do," said Yuri trying hard to cover his face.
"You're going down, you have no hope to beat all us," cried Rex.
"Yeah, you be squashed like a bug," said Weevil
"Even though I hate these two pipsqueaks, I'm inclined to agree with them," said Bakura.
"Enough talk, its my move, I draw," said Yuri looking at his hand "Hmm I will place two card face down, and summon Skilled Dark Magician 1900/1700, in attack mode, and that will end my turn.
"My move now," said weevil, "I will place one monster face down defense mode, and end my turn."
"I believe its my move now," said Bakura "I will place one card face down and summon Giant Orc 2200/0 in attack mode, but since no one can attack on the first round, I will end my turn.
"My turn now," said Rex "I will play the magic card Graceful Charity, I will discard Tyrant Dragon and Polymerization, I will then summon Twin Headed Behemoth 1500/1200 and play monster reborn to reborn Tyrant Dragon 2900/2500, however, I must tribute my Twin Headed Behemoth in order to special summon him from the graveyard. That will end my turn."
"I draw," said Yuri as he drew Obelisk the Tormentor, "I will play my face down card, Ultimate Offerings, I now will summon Reflect Bounder 1700/1000 in attack mode, and pay 500 life points to summon Magician of faith 300/200 in attack mode."
"Hold on, you have triggered my trap card, Destiny Board, so you only have five turns to defeat us, not like you can," said Bakura with a chuckle.
"I will play my other face down card, Pot of Greed," said Yuri as he drew two more cards. "Just the cards I needed, I play Change of Heart, on your monster, Weevil, and I also play Snatch Steal on your Tyrant Dragon, Rex, so now I'm in control of your monsters."
"Oh no, now he has five monsters on the field," said Weevil in fear.
"Indeed, however he only has two cards in his hand, and after this turn Weevil, you will get your monster back so stop whining," said Bakura.
"Now prepare, I pay 500 life points in order to sacrifice, Reflect Bounder, Magician of Faith, and Skilled Dark Magician, to summon, OBELISK THE TORMENTOR 4000/4000."
"What? Impossible," said Bakura
Suddenly the stadium began lit up in lights as everything started to turn the color blue, Yuri slammed the Egyptian god card down on the duel disk with all his might, and Obelisk the Tormentor came down to the field and appeared before them. Everyone was in shock to see that card being played.
"But that's not all, I now tribute Tyrant Dragon and the face down Man Eater Bug unto the power of Obelisk. Now Obelisk, Fist of Fate," cried Yuri
Obelisk took the monsters that were offered to him and started to charge up his attack, there was nothing that Weevil or Rex could do to stop it, and Bakura knew that he couldn't stop it either. Obelisk attack causing a big stream of power hit all three of the duelists. Weevil was the first to fly back from the sheer force, followed by Rex. Bakura was using all his strength to resist the force that was being blown at him.
"No, I won't be defeated like this," said Bakura as he was flown back and hit the wall that was behind him.
"It looks like you just were," said Yuri as he walked out of the arena
