The person came to a dimly lit room in front of a large statue of snakes they all joined together at one point and faded into the roof, in the middle of the room was a giant, temporarily painted rectangle. Kind of like an arena. In the middle was a giant eye what seemed to watch the henchmen as he walked forward and lay the puzzle in the mouth of the middle snake.

"I see you succeeded in your quest."

The henchmen jumped and whipped around to face his master, who was sporting a very wicked smirk. He bowed, "Yes master Dartz."

The man's two coloured eyes flashed, "Did it give you trouble?"

He shook his head. "No sir."

He grinned, "Brilliant. You may go."

Hearing the end of their conversation the henchmen left. After all, who wanted to lose their soul asking questions about what their master was going to do?

The man's eyes looked around, hesitating slightly at the chain on the nearby wall. Seeing that there was no more distractions he walked forward and took the puzzle into his hands. It zapped him but he refused to let go. He walked over to the eye in the middle of the arena and finally allowed his hands to let go.

The puzzle fell with a clatter until the eye was left facing up in the middle of the eye. "Pronounce the name of the pharaoh. Atemu."

The eye flashed so brightly the man was forced to look away. When he dared to look he saw something rising up. One who had hair like flames and eyes like blood. He smirked aside his fear at the ancient king. "Atemu I see you have finally arrive-"

He felt his head connect with the tongue in the mouth of the snake. The hand around his throat squeezed tighter, "Where is Yugi?" An angry voice commanded.

He flashed his captor his teeth. "If you want your son back you're going to have to duel me Pharaoh."

The man's eyes flashed, "How do you know of Yugi's heritage! Who are you? TELL ME!"

The walls shook with his voice. The man would have laughed had the grip on his vocal chords have lessened their pressure. "Duel me and see."

"The stakes?" he asked warily, knowing he had no choice whatsoever, the man had already declared a duel, should he back out, his powers would surely surge through him and cause him so much pain he wouldn't be able to stand. He would not allow himself to become vulnerable to this man.

"I win, I gain your puzzle, your powers and anything else I please that is yours. You win I tell you who I am and you get your pitiful son back."

His head collided with the tongue once more, "He. Is. Not. Pitiful." He spoke each word slowly with so much venom that against Dartz's will his body shivered.

He let go of his son's kidnapper. "Fine. Let this duel start."

Dartz stepped on one side of the arena, as did Yami.

Throwing out his deck Yami shuffled his cards with ease and popped them into his duel disk. Dartz did the same

"DUEL!"

4000/4000

Dartz drew first. He smirked, "So soon? I was hoping the great laviathin would let me toy with him first. But I suppose it's its will and not mine…"

"What are you talking about!" he yelled.

Dartz put the card he'd just drawn into his duel disk. "I use…THE SEAL OF ORICALCHOS!"

A green ring formed around Dartz and spread out to surround the entire field. "What is this! I've only seen this card played before when…" his eyes widened. "You. You're…"

The man laughed, the symbol glowing on his forehead, "So you finally realized it! Yes, I'm the one who tortured those in Egypt. I'm the one that battled those you loved most. You want to know why? Because I wanted to duel you. If you hadn't been able to escape your soul would have joined in feeding the seal long ago."

"NEVER! I would never have lost! Let's continue this duel!"

The man smirked, "Oh yes the duel. Before I'd like to say something."

Yami glowered. "What?"

"Do you see the eye in the centre? That my friend is the eye of Wadjat. That means that the loser of this duel will go to the afterlife!"

Yami took a step back, closer to the ring, "What!"

"Exactly. But I'm not risking my soul. That'd be stupid."

"When who?" though he already knew the answer.

The chain attached to the wall snapped, allowing a body to fall. "YUGI!"

The chain caught on the roof however and Yugi's body floated suspended by it above their heads. "Him. That's right pharaoh. You beat me, and it'll be Yugi's soul. Lose and it'll be yours."
