On Friday of that week Bethany is waiting out side the game shop for Yugi. Stupid holidays. They last all the week BUT FRIDAY! This just sucks! Oh well maybe today...

"Hey, wait up a minute!" Shouted Cameron from down the block. He started running to catch up. At first he did not know what Bethany, or just Beth for short, was doing. He quickly caught on. "This is crazy."

"What is?" She asked knowing he knew why she was their.

"I may have not know you for very long, Tuesday to be exact, but if Seto finds out about this he'll be pissed."

"I'm not afraid of him. Besides I'm older than him by three minuets." She protested holding up three fingers. "Besides where the heck is Yugi?!"

"Maybe he's in school. You know that place where we are held hostage until 2:30." He said with sarcasm. He glanced at his watch. "If we don't hurry were gonna' be late for our creative writing class. You know how upset Mr. Tokuoka gets when people interrupt him in the middle of class." He continued, he saw something move in the corner of his eye. "Hey isn't that Yugi?"

"Where?!" Beth asked jumping out of her skin. Pressing her face against the glass of the card shop.

"Um...in the alleyway to the side." He said now a little scared by Beth. He pointed out the ally. As they walked into the ally they noticed a black spinning vortex just out of sight of the main road. "I think I saw Yugi going in here."

"Ah....I don't think we should do this." Beth said with a hit of fear in her voice. Beth? Yes? I don't know if we can trust Cameron. I sense an overpowering furious rage and an even stronger innocence.

Cameron was fed up with the waiting. "One of my new friends, some one you care about could be in trouble and you're just gonna stand their! You're the one who usually has the heart of gold and drags me along. Now it's my turn."

Hehehe Heart of Gold? You have no idea how right you are. Beth thought to her self. "Fine you make a good point!" She grabs him by the back of his brown vest and marches in to the vortex of darkness. They screamed in unison as they fell for what seemed forever. When they landed they herd a stomping sound coming from behind them.

"I should have stayed in bed today." Groaned Cameron seeing that they did have company. Unfortunately it was a Summoned Skull.

"Get behind me." Beth ordered at him. Her eyes had become like stones, she had a plan.

"Gee, now I feel safe." He said sarcastically.

"Quiet. I need to concentrate!" She said. She started muttering something under her breath. It was a chant that sounded some what familiar to Cameron. About half way through it, a rip started to appear in the space in front of them. Out of the rip walked two figures. The Dark Magician and The Dark Magician Girl!

"HOLY HELL! YOU CAN SUMMON DUEL MONSTERS!?" Cameron said in aw. He had not noticed it but Beth had started giving off a golden glow as the Symbol of the Millennia appeared on her forehead.

"Dark Magic Attack!" She ordered to the magicians. They rose their staffs and together they destroyed the Summoned Skull.

"But? Attack? Girl? Magic? Dark? Skull? Destroyed? How? When? Who?" Cameron

asked stuttering, unable to use complete sentences. Beth had stopped glowing and the symbol disappeared.

"You're confused aren't you?" Beth asked Cameron. He nodded his still trying to understand the concept of sentences. "This is gonna sound crazy," Beth started. She explained the powers of her millennium heart, how she got it, and the Yami that was given to her, the spirit of the queen Eriza. Beth had noticed that Cameron had had fallen now in complete perplexity. "Are you gonna be....ok?" She asked him.

"I think I will be. Just as soon as I regain my sanity." He noticed that the Summoned Skull's remains had started to fade away into nothingness. "I think we should hurry up and find Yugi before another one of those finds him first. Hey with those powers can you like summon Superman or something?"

"I agree to the first part. But for the second, you have no idea what you're talking about." She said with a smirk, a little nervous at first.

They started walking through the dark abyss. Beth's heart guiding them to Yugi. During the walk she started ranting about how "They" should keep holidays going all week long. Cameron did not care; he was too deep in thought.

So she's the Queen? Apparently, what does that matter? WHAT DOES THAT MATTER! Um yeah that's what I asked. I'll explain it later, it too long and depressing a story. Besides she says I don't know what I'm talking about?! Our new forms may have only meat Tuesday. But we have known each other for centuries. Beth stopped suddenly. Cameron nearly fell over her.

"Did you say something?" She asked.

"No. Why? What did you hear?" He answered back.

"Just something about us knowing each other....for.....centuries." She started speaking normally and started to slow down as if she was realizing something. She looked straight into Cameron's eyes. It was not like she was looking at him, but rather into him.

"COME OUT SPIRIT WHO POSSES THIS MORTAL BOY!" She shouted. Cameron suddenly became very serious. He took off and folded his baseball cap, placing it in his back pocket. This was quite strange since Cameron never took off his hat unless he was at home or at school, and he'd only take it off at school if he was threatened with detention. He started speaking but with a much deeper voice.

"Now that you know I exist, I suppose little charade is up?"

"Who are you?"

"Aren't you the sister of THE Seto Kaiba?"

"Yes but that does not answer my question!"

"I'm getting to that. How impatient these modern day humans are. Would you believe me if I said he was the one who caused me to lose every thing 5,000 years ago?"

"I don't follow."

"5,000 years ago I was an Egyptian like you. A merchant by day, an assassin for hire by night. Your brother, Seto, at the time was a high priest. You were the Queen and Yugi was the Pharaoh."

"That sounds about right, so far."

"One night, the night of the great duel, your brother came to me and requested my services. He said that if he was to lose the duel to the Pharaoh, I was to 'finish him off'."

"So you're the one who got the Pharaoh trapped in the puzzle!" You sick -! Eriza watch your mouth. I'm not disagreeing with you, just saying.

"Not quite, I never intended to kill him. That would be like killing God himself. I decided to appease him for a little while. I never even looked at the Pharaoh in a wrong way. One of Seto's minions found out about what I did, or did not do in this case, and told him. As a 'reward' your brother sealed my soul away into my dagger and tossed it into the shadow realm."

"Your dagger?"

"This dagger." Cameron opened up his back pack and pulled out the weapon. The handle was gold, the blade was normal metal, and the sheath had the Millennium symbol on it. "You see, in order to pass on to the other side I need to follow out Seto's wishes,"

"Why do you have to do that?"

"Your brother put a curse on me. So I can't live in peace."

"So you're here to kill Yugi? I hope to realize I won't let you do that!"

"Calm down lover girl. Yugi is not my target. The spirit in him is. It does not matter whose body the Pharaoh is in as long as it's the Pharaoh. And I don't need to kill him. Your brother told me to finish him off. Since the outcome of the duel was lost I just need to beat him in a duel. But for me to do that we need to find him first."

"Fine but I'm keeping my eye on you. What's your name anyways?"

"You may call me Zander." The two of them started walking. Then it hit Beth like a sack of bricks.

"Cameron? Zander? Who ever the hell you are?" Beth asked.

"Yes?" Cameron answered.

"How did you get that dagger any way?"

Cameron took back control of his body. "Back on Duelist Kingdom, before I was kicked off, I saw the dagger on the ground and I picked it up. I thought it would be a cool little souvenir; to bring back home. I had no idea it would turn my life upside down and me inside out."

"So Pegasus had two items?" She asked thinking out loud.

"I don't know." Cameron said shrugging his shoulders. "I do." Zander said interrupting. "It would be best that I explain. Alright Cameron? Sure. But for future reference, when it comes down to my physical and or mental being; I call the shots. Fine. Back when I was trapped in the shadow realm the dagger eventually found its way into Bakura's hands. He was testing his 'Soul Card' ability on some jerk duelist and when it ended I was inadvertently taken out of the shadow realm. Then I found you. I get it!"

"You two have a very strange Yami/Human relationship." Strange is putting it lightly. Eriza! What? You were thinking that.

"Yeah I know, it's hard to have a private conversation this way." He was switching between Yami and human as he spoke. It was getting frustrating.

"Is that...? It's Yugi!" Beth said excided. He was lying unconscious on the ground. She ran up to him. "YUGI!" she shouted trying to wake him, their was a sound of fear in her voice. Please, Yugi get up. Don't be - Yugi started to come to.

"Beth? Where am I? What am I doing here? Cameron? Is that you?"

"Well your half right." Cameron responded. "And as to your other questions...- " Beth cut him off.

"Were in the Shadow realm. We were hopping you could tell us what your doing here."

"Can you walk?" Cameron asked. Yugi tried getting up. He stood up for a second and fell right back down.

"Apparently not." Yugi said. He tilted his head up so he could just see behind them. "If I may quote you Cameron: Oh Shit!"

"What?" Bath and Cameron asked at the same time. Yugi pointed over their shoulders. They turned around only to find a Tri-Horned Dragon behind them.

"Let's see it has 2300 attack right? I can't think of any monsters strong enough to defeat him." Beth said with some panic.

Well your Physical being is at stake. What do you suggest Cameron? You can take it over from here. Perfect. "I have a plan." Zander said.

"What is it?" The others asked. He remained silent. The dragon roared. A sign it was about to attack.

"Well!?" Beth demanded impatiently.

"Wait for it." The Dragon opened its mouth inhaling air. "Wait for it." The Dragon lowered its head and launched a fire ball. "Wait for it." The fire ball headed straight for them. "NOW! I activate my trap card Magical Cylinders!" The cylinder formed in front of Zander. Another above the dragon. The fire ball flew into to the cylinder and flew out of the other cylinder destroying the dragon.

"That. Was. Awesome!" Beth said amazed that they were still alive. "Now it's my turn to ask. How did you do that?"

"Like you I can also use shadow magic out side of a duel. You can summon monsters. I can summon magic, traps and inanimate monsters. Which reminds me. Yugi, take these." Zander pulled out two cards. One magic and one trap. They formed a goblet of red liquid and a container. He opened the container and pulled out the one pill inside and placed it in the goblet. It sank to the bottom. Zander kneeled down and forced the fluid and the pill down Yugi's throat.

"What was that?" Yugi asked gasping for air.

"Some red medicine and nutrient Z." Cameron responded taking back his body. Beth grabbed him by his collar and held him up.

"Did you just drug him?!" She asked, demanding an answer.

"No of course not. Technically one's a toxin."

"WHAT!" Beth threw Cameron on to the ground.

"Their to make him better. Yugi try standing." Cameron said. Yugi stood up and stayed up. "How do you feel?"

"A little woozy, my legs are a little stiff but other than that, not to bad." He said swaying a little.

Out of the darkness a voice, just above a wispier, mocked them "What fools."

"Did you say something?" Beth asked. Déjà vu. Oh look a Cat! What? Where? Never mind, I guess you have to be a modern day human to get that reference.

"I didn't say anything." Yugi replied.

"Last time you asked me that, it turned out I was an assassin." Cameron answered with wit. Yugi gave him a strange look. "I'll explain later. Now let's get out of here."

"I'll let you pass..." The voice had returned but this time much louder. "if you give me my queen."
