3000 B.C.
Joey followed Mai into the long corridor of her castle, wondering if he brought shame to the princess. Mai was walking confidently and then stopped at a door out of the thousands Joey had already seen. She opened the door and then stepped inside. The light from the opening loomed over Joey and he covered his eyes.
After a few seconds, he recovered and then slowly walked in, checking everything as if he had 0 of trust of Mai. The room was full of golden furniture, all probably made out of gold. Mai was already picking out an outfit for Joey in one of the closets. Mai gave him a robe like the ones that roman's had to wear.
"Jeez, I look like a king!" Joey said.
"Just don't act like one and you'll be alright!" Mai said, while laughing.
"Look, sorry to say this, but I have to go home to my family," Joey said.
"Well, sorry if I kept you so long," Mai said with a hint of sadness, "perhaps you would like to join my cousin's expedition to defeat Ra?"
"Okay, then," Joey said, "better than a boring home, eh?"
Mai laughed even harder and then went to the door. "Tomorrow morning, I'll call you and take you to the battle, alright?"
"Okay," that was all Joey could say. Joey went by the bed and then said goodnight to him, waiting for something exciting to happen for the first time in his life the next day. Then, thinking about it, Joey drifted to his slumber...
The pharaoh was anxious to take on Marik and get revenge, but he was forced to pull back because none of the servants could duel and that he himself could only duel once. Slifer heard the news outside of the temple and began to retreat. The situation was even worse when the pharaoh heard that a thunderstorm was coming, so he waited on the attack to defeat Ra and Marik.
Joey woke up to the sound of the abnormal bells, and quietly whispered to himself half asleep, "come back here, you donut!" then he woke to find that he was not chasing a donut. Joey then gathered his golden sword and 40 ancient storing disks, and raced out to the front of the castle, for that he was to have breakfast on the carriage.
He wore the same clothes as the night before. He was ready to duel, and then, the carriage began to leave. Then, Mai stepped out of the door in her sleeping gown and then threw Joey a disk, a harpy's lady. "Take care of it for me, would you, and always know that I'm a part of your deck, since this is my favorite card." Joey waved goodbye and then looked at the disk.
Joey didn't really know what to do, so he put the disk in along with his other 40 disks. Joey then had some breakfast. The pharaoh himself prepared to battle in the castle near the castle. Marik didn't know where they were, since he never bothered to look for them. Ra slept peacefully through the night. The pharaoh looked at the mindless sleeping Seto, and then thought about the day before. But today is a different day, a day of revenge for his servant.
The pharaoh was outside the fort where they were staying and suddenly, a carriage arrived. The pharaoh had not expected this, and then looked into the carriage and then saw for the first time, Joey.
Joey had never seen the pharaoh before, so he asked, "hey you! Where's the pharaoh?"
"I am the pharaoh," the pharaoh said.
Then Joey nervously got off of the carriage, "could I help you with your journey?"
"All right, always good to have a follower," the pharaoh said with a grin.
Then, the pharaoh took some good 15 minutes to explain to Joey what was the plan for the invasion. Joey listened carefully and then nodded. The pharaoh went back inside the fort and then Joey followed. As he followed, he saw his friend from his village, Tristan. Then, a girl walked passed by Joey looking down, holding a cup of tea and went up the stairs.
It took Joey a few seconds to recognize who she was. Her name was Tea, and then Joey called her name. She was shocked that she almost dropped the tea, and then stared at Joey. The whole reunion was here, and they then talked about their journey here. The pharaoh broke up their conversation when he came down the stairs, wearing a military armor.
Then, a man followed him, with no emotions whatsoever. He held in one hand the millennium eye and followed the pharaoh. It was hard to tell if he was willing or not. The second wave of attack was about to begin...
