Yugi had remembered everything vividly that night. Finding his grandfather unconscious was one thing. The Pharaoh's dark side released was another. Why was the Pharaoh acting like that? He couldn't think about it now. He sat on his bed, mockingbirds calling out, "Krillia. Krillia." He liked the birds, watching them flying high in the sky. Even owls flew next to the window of Yugi's room.

"Pharaoh, why?" he asked himself. "Why are you like this?" Small tears flowed down his face, like he was just beaten with a whip.

Meanwhile, focusing on Joey…

The New York style boy walked down to the game shop, his golden hair blowing in the breeze. Before he was one block away, a voice called out to him from the shadows.

"Joey Wheeler, how would you like to see your Flame Swordsman right here?" it asked. He thought about this for a little bit.

"I guess it couldn't hurt," he replied to the voice. "Show me the Flame Swordsman!" The voice laughed evilly, and Yami stepped out from a dark alley.

"What are you doin' here!" Joey yelled, stepping backward.

"Like I said, Joey, I'm here to show you the Flame Swordsman. Now, prepare yourself!" An evil wind picked up from the west. "Deity of darkness, I invoke thee. Hear my call! Arise, Flame Swordsman!" The Shadow Creature appeared from the ground, the Millennium Puzzle glowing.

"What's goin' on?" Joey asked, staring at the evil monster in front of him.

"Say goodbye to your soul, Wheeler," Yami laughed. "Flame Swordsman, take away this fool's soul with your Flaming Sword of Battle!" The monster attacked straight away as Joey screamed in agony. Soon, he became unconscious, his soul was gone. Next, he summoned Cyber Commander, Magician of Faith, Blue-Eyes White Dragon, and the Man Eating Plant.

"Now, Cyber Commander, steal Tristan Taylor's soul, Magician of Faith, get me Tea Gardener's soul, Blue-Eyes and Man Eating Plant, take care of the Kaiba brothers. Now, get going!" The monsters spread out in different directions, searching for their victims.

Over with Tristan and the Cyber Commander…

Tristan was worried about what Joey told him that morning. Yami was evil, and that sent a chill up his spine.

"I've got nothing to worry about," he told himself, walking down on Main, window shopping. "After all, the Pharaoh wouldn't know where to find me!" Suddenly, the Cyber Commander appeared in front of him.

"What are you doing here? What are you?" Tristan asked. Then it hit him. "You're the Cyber Commander! How did you get here?" The monster raised his gun, and fired a blast that knocked out Tristan's soul right on the spot. The Cyber Commander smiled and walked off, holding a glowing ball that contained Tristan's soul.

Over in a dark alleyway…

Tea was worried for her very own life, after hearing from Yugi that same morning. Tears rolled down her face, thinking about the Pharaoh.

"There's no need to be afraid, young one," a gentle voice called. Tea looked up from her sorrow, and saw the Magician of Faith in front of her. Tea didn't have a chance to speak, for the magician shot a golden blast from her moon crescent staff. The same glowing ball fell into the magician's hand.

Meanwhile, over at Kaiba Corp…

"Hey Seto," Mokuba called in Kaiba's office. "Did you hear what Yugi said? I think he was serious about the Pharaoh being evil."

"Look, Mokuba," Kaiba barked. "I don't believe all of this mumbo-jumbo that Yugi told us. I don't think there really is a Pharaoh." Suddenly, the Blue-Eyes White Dragon appeared as if from out of nowhere. It roared a blood curling roar as it prepared to attack Kaiba.

"Mokuba, move!" Kaiba yelled, stepping in front of his little brother. "I don't want you getting hurt!" That was a big mistake, for the Man Eating Plant appeared from the floor, roaring. The monster grabbed Mokuba, who was thrashing and screaming. The dragon attacked Kaiba first. He didn't have time to react, as the white blast hit him with the force of an 18 wheeler. Soon, Kaiba's soul was in the dragon's claws, Mokuba staring at his brother's lifeless body. He broke free from the Man Eating Plant's grip, and ran to his brother's side.

"Seto, wake up!" he cried, tears rolling down his face. "I need you! Please don't leave me! Seto!" The dragon nodded to the plant, and soon the dragon had two souls for the price of one. The rest of the monsters were waiting for them outside. Yami was waiting for them.

"Did you get the souls?" he asked darkly. The monsters nodded, holding out the souls. "Excellent. Phase one of my plan is complete. Now, onto phase two."

What is the Pharaoh's plan? What will Yugi do now that Yami has his friend's souls? Find out in chapter three!
