Disclaimer: I own nothing but the story. Thank you.

"Choose wisely, Pharaoh," Brian grinned evilly, gripping Yugi around his neck. "You either give me the Puzzle, or I let Yugi spew blood." Yami hesitated, and gripped the chain that the Puzzle hung from.

"I won't give my puzzle," he replied, stepping back. Brian grinned even wider.

"Very well," he laughed, pressing the blade against the boy's neck. "He dies." Suddenly, Kairi leapt into the air, and kicked Brian right in the face, releasing Yugi from his grip.

"Thanks, Kairi," Yugi thanked, gasping for air. He raced into the Pharaoh's arms, embracing him tightly. Brian, his face red from the hard blow, faced Kairi with anger and hatred.

"You insolent fool!" he roared, holding up the blade once more. "I'll make sure that you die right here, right now!"

"Bring it, Anubis!" Kairi replied, the others staring wide-eyed at her remark. She smiled as Brian became a man with yellow hair, and he wore a long black cape and tan shoulder pads. He had piercing eyes, and grinned evilly.

"So it was you behind all this!" Yami yelled, staring into the man's cold eyes. "The Egyptian Lord of the Dead, Anubis."

"I am pleased that you remember me after all these years, my pharaoh," Anubis growled. "I have taken control of your friend until that girl finally broke through to the true master."

"What have you done to Brian, you fiend?" Kairi yelled, pulling out her cutlass.

"He is watching us right now, in the Shadow Realm, you fool," the Lord of the Dead replied, grinning. "I took control of his lifeless body for the time being. Now, I can destroy you fully. I don't need the Puzzle to complete the Millennium Case. I have this!" He held up a blue pyramid that hung around his neck.

"The Pyramid of Light," Yugi remembered. "I saw that in the Domino Museum with Tea."

"Correct, mortal," Anubis replied, letting the pyramid swing back down into its position. "Now, I can achieve the ultimate goal, and destroy the world."

"We won't let that happen," Kairi whispered, raising her cutlass. The ultimate battle had begun.
