Revelations

The duel between Tea and Marik had just really started and already Tea was down to 2000 life points. As Tea drew what she was sure was her last she smiled and gave Marik a confident look.

"This duel isn't over yet. I activate the magic card Raigeki. Now you have no more monsters to defend you. Now I'll attack with Maha Vailo and the Happy Helper."

"Not bad, you brought my life points down to 1700. I guess now's a good time to show you some of the skills I've acquired since I've been back."

"Just how did you come back? Yugi beat you and saved the real Marik from your control, so what are you doing here now."

"While I was trapped in the Shadow Realm I heard a voice calling for me. It asked if I wanted the power to get revenge on those who banished me here, needless to say I had no problem answering that question. The catch was that I had to follow the orders of my new master."

"Who is this master?"

"Patience Pharaoh, you'll be meeting him soon enough. The things he has planned for you are worse than any torment I could ever come up with. But right now I will have to finish this duel in order to make everything perfect. Now Tea, I will summon to the field the Greek god, Hades."

"A Greek god!"

"Don't tell me your memory is that bad, my dear. This isn't the first time you've seen one of these."

"But wait, how can you summon a monster like that without a tribute?"

"Simple, Hades has the ability to come on to the field as long as at least three monsters are in my graveyard. Also, Hades' attack points are equal to the sum of the attack points of the monsters in my graveyard. So the sum of Revival Jam, Executioner Makura, and Drillago give Hades a total of 4500 attack points. Now I attack your Maha Vailo and destroy you last few life points."

"Oh no...I-I lost?"

"Yes my dear but don't worry, I'm sure no one really expected you to win. Now, it is time."

"Time for what Marik?"

"Well Pharaoh, since you're so curious, take a look over at Tea."

Yugi turned and was shocked to see Tea knelling on the ground surrounded by teal colored flames.

"What have you done to her Marik?"

"I chose her, to be the temporary vessel for my know master."

Yugi's eyes turned back to Tea as he heard her crying in pain. As Yugi watched Tristan and Rebecca look on Yugi made a silent decision within himself and ran to Tea, but it was too late.

"Tea are you alright?"

"Never better, Pharaoh."

Yugi heard what Tea said and realized that something was wrong.

"Who are you?"

"What do you mean, I'm Tea."

"No you're not?"

"You're right...I'm not."

"Then who are you?"

"Like you my name was also erased from my memories. I only remember bits and pieces."

"Why are you hear and what have you done with Tea?"

"Tea is still here, were just sharing a body, and as for why I'm here..."

While Yugi was waiting for an answer he saw surprised to receive a blow to the face instead.

"I'm here to take over this world, and make you suffer."

"Why?"

"Because the Egyptians had no business attacking my peoples village. And to make it worse, your father was the one that led the charge.

"I-I don't believe you. More importantly if you think that I'll let you get away with this you must-"

"I can read the feelings that this girl has for you. She is in love with you, Yami. But she doesn't seem to have the same feelings for the young boy whose body you share. I wonder why that is?"

"I know what you're trying to do, and it won't work. Me and my partner aren't going to be split up."

"Really. Because I can sense that little Yugi isn't completely in synch with you."

"That's it. I challenge you to a duel and if I win Tea goes free!"

"Don't worry, I'll duel you. Just not right now."

"Why not, is it your fear that is holding you back?"

"No, I would just prefer to duel once I have gotten my hands on the body that I have arranged to acquire."

"Arranged to acquire?"

"That's right I set up everything that has happened recently, Marik dueling Tea in order to get me a temporary vessel, Medusa dueling you Yugi so that Psiren could talk to Kaiba, and, most importantly, Medusa dueling against Joey and reviving him so that he could become my new vessel."

"You mean you planned all of this so you could have Joeys body?"

"Yes, among other things. But for now I must be going."

"You aren't going anywhere."

Tristan, Rebecca and Yugi tried to grab Tea but felt their bodies go numb. As Tristan and Rebecca fell to the ground Yugi managed to only fall to one knee. Tea walked over and knelt down so that she was face to face with Yugi. She placed her hand on his cheek and gave him a deep long kiss.

"I hope you enjoyed that Yugi, I know Tea did. However, if you interfere with my plans anymore, I will send you, as well as those closest to you, into a literal Hell on earth. See ya!"

The next thing Yugi knew he was punched backwards towards the ground. As he stared at the sky he saw Tea being escorted out of the area in a Kaiba Corp. Jet.

"That...thing is going to go after Joey. I have to stop them before-"

Yugi didn't even finish his thought before his body's numbness caused him to pass out.
