Keeping a low profile, Yugi was able to get to a flight without further incident. He wondered if it was just an isolated incident, maybe a card that somehow fell in his hands and it was still alive. If so, how could he have known what it was? Who else was using the Orichalcos? More importantly, how far were they, even if it could be done, were they in reviving the Great Leviathan? The questions followed him across the Atlantic.
Once he arrived he made a call with a payphone. He had the number for a while but never rang it. It was a friend of his grandfather's. An American named Arthur Hopkins. Despite a set back in his research into Atlantis, he was still the best person to help him. The call connected and a woman's voice answered. "Hello?" "Rebecca?" Yugi asked, recognising the voice. "Yugi?" Came a surprised reply. "It's great to hear from you! How have you been? I called your house a month ago but your grampa said you were travelling the world."
"It's great to hear from you too Rebecca. And I have been. I'm in America now. Listen, can I come over? I need to speak to your grampa. I'm afraid something bad's come up."
There was a moment of silence. "Grampa's gone. That was why I called. Both our Grampas were friends, so he had a right to know."
"I'm sorry." Yugi replies. "You're still welcome to come by." She gave him an address and he wrote it down. "I'll see you when I get there. Thanks." He hangs up.
He boards a train heading west. It was going to a long ride. His mind full of questions and doubts. The guy made it clear Doma wasn't around. But he said something about a Legion. He was unsure if he can beat them without Atem at his side. How he missed his friend and partner. Yet he made a promise he would continue to grow. To make him proud, but this new development weighed heavy.
He picks up a discarded newspaper. It seems Industrial Illusions plans on releasing a set of cards in honour of the game's greatest player. Seems they plan to reprint some cards from Battle City and Duelist Kingdom. It also promises a surprise card used once by Yugi himself. Maybe when this is over, if it's over, he'll pick one up.
The train arrived and there was a young woman waiting by the station for him. Yugi recognised her instantly. She ran up to him and hugged him. "It's good to see you too Rebecca." He says lightly hugging her back.. "I'm sorry to surprise you like this, I have a bad feeling about this."
"I'll say you do!" says someone with a duel disk. Another legionary behind them stepped forward. "Lord Symos decreed you are to be harvested."
Rebecca readied her own disk. "Never know when you get a challenge. 2 on 2?"
"Sounds good." Replied one of the legionaries. "Two souls are better than one, as long as one of them is his." pointing to Yugi.
(Insert duel details here)
It wasn't easy, but Yugi and Rebbeca pulled through. The legionaries fell to their knees as the seal encircled them. "Glory to the Orichalcos" says one. "Forgive us, Symos." says the other before the seal disappears, taking with it the souls bargained for power.
Rebecca thinks for a moment. "Symos... I know that name. Yes, he was the one who wrote the journal."
"What journal?" Asks Yugi.
"I was working on Granpa's research on Atlantis when we found a book. I've been translating it and it's an account of the war that sunk the kingdom as told by a forth knight."
"A forth knight? Why didn't he help us before?" Yugi asks.
"Well, from what I read, he sided with Dartz. He felt he still owed loyalty to his king. We'd better go before more of them come.
