3000 B.C.
The clouds circled around the desert road as Shadi and yami Bakura prepared for the ancient shadow duel. The pharaoh seemed more nervous about Shadi rather than yami Bakura and the duel itself. Shadi, as he himself had said, was the protector of the millennium items. The pharaoh's own puzzle was one of them, and he knew if Shadi fails, Yami Bakura would go after his puzzle and his cousin and her friend's items too.
Joey stood there in awe, then suddenly, his item started to glow. It was soon as bright as the sun, and so were the other items there. It was as if the items themselves wanted a better view of the duel. Joey tugged at his and Tea and Tristan noticed that. They then focused their attention back to the duel that was about to begin. Mai looked at her shield and thought of her life as a princess.
She knew that she was lucky and knew that fate was responsible for all of her adventures. The pharaoh suddenly had a vision of himself, with a black shirt and pants with a blue jacket around his neck, holding some sort of really advanced technology in his hand, facing off against Marik, who was also in the future wearing the similar weird clothes.
He too had an advanced technology in his hand, and it seemed as if they were dueling like Shadi and yami Bakura right now. The pharaoh had accepted fate in the future and wanted to prepare for it. The future two boys were holding some sort of "cards".
And on the disk, to the pharaoh's shock, were pictures of Slifer on his own AT (advanced technology) and Marik had Ra on his. It was then that the pharaoh realized that there were two more people present. Seto had obelisk on his AT and then the fourth person was...
Joey wheeler, the slave standing next to the pharaoh right now. The future Joey had three monsters that he controlled. They were, the pharaoh's favorite, the dark magician, Seto's favorite, the blue eyes white dragon, as then the pharaoh figured out, the red eyes black dragon, must have been Joey's favorite.
The pharaoh's eyes were shut really hard for he didn't want his only chance at looking at his future to be ruined. Joey noticed what the pharaoh was doing and then too closes his eyes. What he saw was his sister, serenity, in a field of flowers somewhere.
He was wearing a blue and white shirt and had an AT on his on his hand. It took him a few seconds to figure out that this was a vision at his future. His sister was laughing and dancing in the field. The wind blew the flowers, and they leaned too as if they were dancing with her.
"Serenity," Joey said to himself. Then, the picture was replaced with the same thing that the pharaoh had. It shocked him, but he understood what it meant. The only person who did not look at his future was Seto, for his mind was drifting in emptiness, searching for his brother and soul.
Marik saw the vision too and chuckled to himself, and made a mental note not to tell Ra, for he was peering out the window watching the duel. His rod beamed in the sun, as he watched a portion of the road rotted away into the darkness...
