3000 B.C.
Shadi started off by playing a tablet facedown and Kuriboh. Bakura laughed at the sight of the tiny creature and said that Kuriboh is going to be destroyed easily. Bakura summons a Headless Knight, and it sliced Kuriboh in half. Bakura laughed and said, "There goes your weak and pathetic monster along with 3 magicians."
However, Shadi's magicians did not disappear and that's because Shadi activated a trap tablet called Weak Revival that destroyed the zombie when it attacked Kuriboh, and it special summoned back the Kuriboh. Kuriboh taunted Bakura, making him very mad.
Then Shadi summoned a dream sprite, and both the weak creatures attacked Bakura, but only 2 of Bakura's 20 magicians disappeared. Then Shadi placed a tablet facedown and then ended his turn. Bakura was amazed and then in his blind rage he struck at the two poor creatures with curse of dragon, but Shadi immediately activated a trap hole, and the dragon of Bakura's went away.
Now the hair of Bakura was wet, since he could not win against the trap and weak monsters of Shadi. If this keeps up, the duel will go to Shadi. Bakura wanted the Millennium Key and was willing to go so far to get it. He must win the duel, but the situation was bad right now.
Shadi then summoned a Larvae Moth and all three of them attacked Bakura. Bakura now had 15 magicians left. The pharaoh was shocked about the strategy of Shadi. Then Shadi revealed that he could summon Larvae Moth when the original one attacked Bakura, and another insect appeared and struck Bakura. Bakura had 14 magicians left.
Shadi placed one tablet down and asked Bakura to make his move. The key of Shadi glowed and seemed as if it had taunted the millennium ring. Bakura did not back down and summoned a huge fiend that covered half of the field.
The Dark Necrofear was a level-7 monster that had the ability to see into the third world. Dark Necrofear stood behind Bakura. Bakura laughed out loud saying that this monster of his is unaffected by trap or spell tablets.
The pharaoh gasped at the amazing beast, and Bakura shouted for his great behemoth to attack Kuriboh and destroy it once and for all. Shadi did not look worried as the fiend started to torture the little Kuriboh. Joey saw that Shadi had something else up his sleeve...
Shadi looked emotionless as the fiend rushed towards the great Kuriboh of his. Then suddenly Kuriboh grew big, and soon it was bigger than the fiend itself. Bakura was shocked, for the huge Kuriboh destroyed the fiend just by blowing it away with its breath.
Bakura was pissed by had nothing else he can do for the turn. Shadi then summoned a girl magician by sacrificing his two insects, and she with Kuriboh and dream sprite attacks Bakura directly, and immediately 8 magicians vanished.
Shadi smiled and the key glowed and placed one more tablet down and decided to end his turn. Bakura grabbed his heart with one eye closed and clenched his ring. The millennium ring did not glow for it knows Bakura is not strong enough to win…
