A/N: Hey all you lovable fellows! First of all, thank you my dearest Guest for reviewing! Second of all, Happy New Year! :D And last but not least, since I am kind of a crazy Revolutionshipper, you may see some parts that, although won't affect the plot of the show, will point to that direction. I just thought that, since not anyone may share my opinion, you should be warned that it's coming sooner or later. Now, on with the story!

Never say "Things can't get any worse from here." God takes that as a personal challenge.

-Someone


Stairs are another reason why my afterlife sucks. A day ago I was in hell getting the crap tortured right outta my arse and today I got a lovely bunch of running and climbing stairs to do. I am a ghost! I am not supposed to have to do these things.

As I neared the end of the nightmare, I couldn't help but notice the tall, dark and broody figure standing at the top of the stairs. At first I dismissed him as a part of Pegasus's security. After all it was highly possible for a CEO that was mad as a hatter and everyone hated to be paranoid. Just imagine being a guy named Maximillion Pegasus who had nothing better to do aside from kidnapping random souls and organizing card game tournaments. It's a life that calls for a little action, I'd give him that- but then again, there is sky-diving.

"Hey guys look! You're not gonna believe who's blocking our way into the castle!" I heard Tristan yell in surprise.

"It's Kaiba!"

"Hey, what's he doin' here?" asked Joey, not happy to see him for obvious reasons.

However, Kaiba ignored all of them.

"I can't let you pass Yugi." he stated, his eyes focused solely on Yugi.

"I won ten star-chips. So stand aside." commanded Yugi sternly.

"You may have won enough star-chips to qualify for the Duelist Kingdom playoffs Yugi, but I cannot allow you to face Pegasus. He's mine. We are going to have one final duel. You will lose and I will win. The winds of change are blowing Yugi Moto."

I smell a card game...


"Oh, he's so smug up there!" muttered Tea in disgust.

As the last of the gang gathered around Yugi, I took a careful step backwards, ready to run for it if any funny cows decided to jump out of techonologically advanced spinning tops.

"Step aside Kaiba!" Yugi ordered again.

"Not until you agree to duel me."

"I am not dueling you! I don't have to!"

"So… you are not anymore confident that the so-called Heart of the Cards can help you win? Or you are afraid you can't beat me without Exodia? That's it, isn't it Yugi? You are just scared you won't be able to beat me a second time. You coward!"

Was that... provocation on Kaiba's part? Would he also make gestures that compared Yugi to a chicken in order to make him accept his challenge? If so, this bird was gonna stay rooted right-bloody-here. I was not missing out on that!

"Hey, back off! He doesn't have to prove anything!" shouted Tea.

Joey growled. "You wonna duel smart-mouth? Come on, I'll take ya on, let's duel!"

Kaiba chuckled, which enraged Joey further. "Don't laugh!" he shouted and made to charge at him, but Ryou and Tristan held him back.

"Joey, down boy!" Tristan yelled bewildered, not realising that he had just talked to Joey like he was some kind of dog.

"Don't forget, when you battled him before he slaughtered you!" Ryou reminded him, not quite with the tact you would expect from a gentleman.

"Like you could do any better?" Tea snapped at them angrily, effectively embarassing them both and voicing my own views on the matter along the way.

"Heh, I see the little barking Chihuahua already has ten star-chips!" Kaiba taunted. "You earned them yourself or did Yugi throw you a few bones?" Tristan and Ryou now were barely able to hold Joey back. I didn't know what the deal with those two was, but I did know that if Kaiba didn't take it down a notch I would have to feed him some humble pie. And boy, would I enjoy it!

"Don't call me a Chihuahua!" growled Joey.

"Heh, don't let him snap his chain. There is no challenge in humiliating you again Joey. There's only one player who's ever beat me at Duel Monsters and that's Yugi."

I could easily understand someone being angry about losing something with actual value. But being defeated in a children's card game and actually holding a grudge against someone about it… that's pretty pathetic. But on the other hand, everything here seemed to be solved through Duel Monsters… It's almost like the bloody card game is the only law around these parts.

"Yugi, you said you won by taping in the Heart of the Cards and for a long time I didn't know what that meant, but now I think I do." Oh, little Kaiba saw the light. I think I'm going to cry. "And it took Pegasus to show me." he whispered.

Kaiba took out a locket in the shape of a Duel Monster's trading card and opened it. I couldn't look at its contents but I noticed his expression change.

"He gave me a reason to put my heart in the cards." he said softly, not taking his eyes from his locket. His expression became determined and he snapped the locket shut, giving Yugi a glare that made me feel like a bug- I actually found myself glad to not be standing in his way. "For the first time Yugi, I can duel with fire and passion in my heart!"

Kaiba was fighting for his baby brother, a brother that he had promised to protect. I could empathize with how he felt and I couldn't help but feel a certain degree of sympathy for him, despite the fact that he was one bloody arse if I had never seen one before- and I had seen one before that was for sure.


"Yugi! You can't accept his challenge!" Ryou protested.

"You've already earned enough star-chips to get into the castle!" Tea agreed.

"I've changed. I deserve a rematch." said Kaiba quietly. "Let me play you again Yugi. Let me play you for the right reasons."

Yugi seemed to think it for only a second when I sensed the spirit taking over.

Cor blimey, that's a fast decision!

If it was Yugi's decision at all, that is.

I watched Tea's expression turn into one of shock. She stared at the spirit like she was looking for something. I raised my brow. If she was able to say the difference between the spirit and Yugi, then it wouldn't take long for her to find out the truth regarding her friend's glowing weird pedant.

"Kaiba I accept your duel! We'll see what you've really learned!" the spirit yelled, pointing at Kaiba. "You just name the place."

"Our dueling field has been prepared. Follow me." he declared. Kaiba picked up his briefcase and walked into the castle.


Once inside, we took a few turns and then we climbed the stairs that led us in the upper floors. Jeez, what's the deal with Pegasus and elevators is beyond me. When I was almost to my breaking point, Kaiba came to a halt in front of a big metal door. As he pushed it and we went through, a slight gust of wind made Tea's hair move, right into my face. Granted, they passed right through it- but just imagine what a bloody bother it is to have someone's hair into your nose, even if you cannot feel it.

Kaiba had taken us on the roof. It was a good spot, what with the entire island at my feet and all, but was all that stair climbing really necessary? Does everything that has to do with Duel Monsters have to be so dramatic?

The spirit and Kaiba each took their places facing each other.

"Alright Kaiba, it's time to duel!"

"Yugi, here's the deal. We'll each wager five star-chips on this duel and the winner will be the only one who earns the right to enter to the main castle."

I sincerely hoped the main castle had an elevator or something. If I wasn't dead I would have lost a lot of weight on my way to get up here.

"Done. Five chips." said the spirit and removed the agreed amount off of his glove.

"We will use my new duel disk system. Insert your shuffled deck in the card recognition slot. Life points automatically set to two thousand." Kaiba instructed the spirit.

"Take him! You did it once Yugi and we know you can do it again!" shouted Joey trying to encourage the spirit.

I got sidetracked however by someone walking to the opposite part of the roof. He was just standing there, staring at the others with his mouth agape in shock. He wore a pair of sunglasses and had a strong built. He seemed to be vaguely familiar and when I took a closer look at him it dawned on me. It was that dimwit who had trapped us into that cave!

I narrowed my eyes. I had a score to settle.

I quickly followed him. I didn't want to lose this duel so I would have to make it quick.


He was running to one of the towers and when we reached there I saw why. That tower offered an excellent view of the duel; however, it also had a bad echo. He would barely be able to catch much of what was going on, even with all the yelling that the spirit did while dueling.

I drew energy from the bond I shared with Ryou and I felt the familiar warmth surround me. I then looked back at the bloke and smirked.

I raised my hand and shot an energy ball straight to his chest. I wanted to test if I could really harm someone alive with my powers, despite the spirit's assurances that I wasn't capable of doing so. I had to admit to myself that it was disappointing to find out he was correct. For a split second I wondered if he ever got tired of always being right.

The energy passed right through the blonde but instead of bringing him to his knees from pain as I had planned, he just turned and looked around. He had indeed felt something, but not what I wanted. And with those bloody sunglasses on, I couldn't make out his expression.

Then an idea came to mind and I moved behind him. Putting much more energy, I focused almost all of it to my right hand and then pushed it in his chest from his back.

He gasped and I pushed deeper. He placed his hand on his chest in obvious discomfort making me smirk at the sight.

I could slightly feel his organs and ribs. Not exactly feeling by touch, but more like being able to make out their existence without my hand going quite through them. It was disgusting but the pleasure of taking my revenge on him for trapping us in that cave made it worth it. I'd have a flutter he believed we wouldn't be able to get out of there, so he deserved what was coming to him. He had tried to harm us, so I saw no reason to simply allow him to walk away with it like he hadn't just outright attempted to murder a bunch of schoolkids by starving them to death. He couldn't have known there was another exit. He had seriously meant to murder them.

As I finally comprehended the severity of his actions, the severity of the bloody consequences of what he had done, I became absolutely livid. He deserved to die. I gritted my teeth in rage and forcefully shoved my hand deeper, not giving a flying fuck about how much less easy it had become to pass my hand through his organs- or the motherfucker's now-agonised screams. Eventually I found what I was searching for.

I had found his heart. I couldn't help the grin that spread across my face.

He was panting and groaning like an injured cow and I was sure it was the best sound I had heard in a while. I enclosed the heart in my fist and increased the energy in my hand, bending it easily to my will in order to make it close in on the vulnerable organ. He tried to scream but couldn't since by now he could hardly breathe properly. He fell on his knees and his sunglasses fell from his face, drool coming out of his mouth. His ragged breath was music to my ears and I squeezed slightly more, this time resulting in blood coming out of his mouth. I licked my lips, taking in every delicious moment of his pain, my revenge for his mistakes. He had shown not a morsel of mercy towards Yugi, Joey, Tea, Tristan and Ryou. He would have let them die slowly from hunger and thirst. I would make him regret every second of it by squeezing his heart until I felt it burst in my fist.

It was so hilarious, so bloody wonderful, his life in the palm of my hand- quite literally. I chuckled at the pathetic display, as he groaned and tried to reach his pocket, presumambly to a phone or a communication device of some sort. I couldn't have any of that however. It wouldn't save him, but I wanted to draw this out a bit, squeeze every last drop of pain out of him along with his so-called heart. Tightening my grip I watched in glee as his eyes rolled in the back of his head, as his lips slowly turned to a color very close to blue. His struggles to take a breath caused him to lose a considerable amount of his previous determination to call for help. I laughed quite hard at that. Watching him suffer was very satisfying, so much so that it even surprised me a bit.

"More." I whispered. "Show me more."

As if abiding by my request, he clutched his T-shirt and pulled at it, like it was too tight for him to breath in. As the laughter spilled from my mouth, I couldn't help but feel a moment of pity towards him- such wonderful entertainment he provided and it would end all too soon. Maybe a brief reprieve was in order.

Marigold and nightsade and cypress. And a touch of teasel flower, just for you.

The sharp intake of breath was not from the man on my feet.

As the smell of rot filled my nostrils, I unconciously took a step back. But it wasn't a smell that repulsed me, not like it had in the cave. This time it felt like... like home.

"I shouldn't have dropped it." I mumbled, all of a sudden feeling dissapointed with myself. "So much work went into it. I should have been more careful."

The picture of a dark crimson rose bud erased everything else from my mind and I reached my hand out to touch its velvet petals.

"It is not right to treat it like that."

I am you silly.

Out of the blue, the picture of the rose bud was replaced with the face of the spirit of the Millennium Puzzle, his eyes emotionless, staring down at me like I was worthless. Pathetic.

I took another step back, as if that would somehow exorcise that image out of my head. However it only served as a way for me to meet the room's floor, since apparently all I needed to come back to my senses was a good hit on the head. I sat still for a few seconds, waiting for the dizziness to pass. The bliss I felt just a second ago was all but gone- now the only thing left was the rush of the moment being slowly sipped out of my body. I imagined that this was how an addict getting off of a high must feel.

My musings were interrupted by the ragged breathing of the man before me. I was still quite gutted- no scratch that, I was mad out of proportion with him but the murderous rage had left me. I had to admit it, maybe I did go a bit overboard. Maybe the spirit wouldn't approve. Ryou would definitely not approve.

Maybe I should stop attacking people at random before it becomes a habit.

There was also something else that had me worried.

I had enjoyed this.

Every second of it.

I shouldn't have.

But then...he deserved it, didn't he?

I shook my head to clear it from such thoughts and quickly stood up and sat on my heels behind him. He had somehow managed to reach a kneeling position, making it easier for me to whisper in his ear what I had to say. My energy was flaring around me and I hoped he would be able to listen to everything. Doubtful but possible. After all I had almost killed him just a second ago.

"Don't you ever come near us again. Not Yugi, not Ryou not anyone. Try anything and I will kill you."

For good measure I reached for his insides once more and poked his heart a bit, not nearly enough for his life to be endangered though. Or at least so it seemed. Either that or that guy really wanted to stay alive. He fell on the floor hugging himself and panting. He gave no signs that he had heard me.

I was easy though. I had warned him, so if he tried anything, I would not be the one to blame for any... consequences.


I went back to where Yugi and Kaiba were dueling, feeling better than when this bloody day started. Actually I could say that I felt as if nothing had happened in that cave. I felt nice. Apparently I had missed some of the duel, however it didn't look like it was anything too significant. Probably. Maybe. I had no idea. A green genie-like thing was attacking the spirit, so that was most likely not very good.

"My cards!"

The attack hit one card from the four Yugi had in front of him, smashing it to pieces.

"De-spell has destroyed your Swords of Revealing Light." Kaiba explained smugly and then smirked. "Hm, that's a tough loss Yugi. Your swords could have paralyzed my monsters for three turns, but I guess that now you will lose three turns sooner."

"Don't count on it Kaiba!" the spirit shot back, catching his Duel Disk as it spinned right towards his head.

"That genie is big trouble, but as long as it has the lamp to hide it Yugi can't touch it!" commented Ryou.

"Is there any way to destroy the lamp?" asked Tea, but nobody answered. The spirit drew a card from his deck and stared at it for a moment. Then he placed it on the Duel Disk and threw.

"But first I call upon the Dark Magician!"

A monster that looked familiar appeared on the field. I squeezed my brain and then remembered where I had seen it before. It was the monster Yugi was dressed like back when the spirit got me out of the Shadow Realm. I stared at it and for a second I was sure it had glared right back. I shook my head. What a dim thought.

Dark Magician Attack: 2500

Dark Magician Defense: 2100

"I'm surprised you put your Magician at risk Yugi. Especially when you have no idea what I have in store for you."

The spirit smirked. "Then perhaps before I attack I should see what you are planning for myself!"

Kaiba looked taken aback by this statement. "What do you mean?"

"Behold my Magic Eye of Truth!" the spirit yelled and the card revealed an altered version of the Eye of Horus. Kaiba gritted his teeth in frustration.

"It's called The Eye of Truth because it knows all, sees all!" What a creepy statement. Seriously, it sounded like something straight out of a thriller. And here I thought I was weird. "And it will reveal every card in your hand."

As the cards started to reveal themselves, Kaiba's eyes went huge. It was actually kind of funny!

"What's this? You have a Blue Eyes White Dragon in your hand but you haven't played it?" asked the spirit curiously. I looked at the last card to be revealed and it turned out that it was the same card he had used on Joey in order to put an end to their duel.

"You can always count on Kaiba to have a Blue Eyes White Dragon up his sneaky, slimy sleeve!" muttered Joey under his breath.

"He sure loves his Blue Eyes…" commented Tristan.

"Three Blue Eyes White Dragons! That must be impossible for Yugi to beat!" said Ryou worried.

"Oh yeah?" asked Tea angrily. "Well Yugi's beaten three Blue Eyes before and he'll do it again!"


The duel went on. The spirit managed to destroy Kaiba's Magic Lamp by using a card called Magic Box. After that it was a piece of cake for the Dark Magician to destroy the genie in it, forcing Kaiba to say hello to 700 Life Points. Then Kaiba summoned a monster called Sagi, the Dark Clown. The creepiest thing I had seen since Bakura appeared on the field and I shrieked jumping on Ryou, ending up on my butt. Well, it was a welcome change from falling on my face, that's for sure. I stood up quickly and focused back on the duel.

Sagi the Dark Clown Attack: 600

Sagi the Dark Clown Defense: 1200

The spirit seemed skeptical as he drew a new card. He looked pleased with what he had in hand and spanned the Duel Disk.

"And he will defeat Sagi once again. Gaia the Fierce Knight! In attack mode!" he shouted.

Gaia the Fierce Knight Attack: 2300

Gaia the Fierce Knight Defense: 2100

A knight in a blue and yellow armor holding a spear and riding a purple horse came forth and attacked the clown. Thankfully, it dissappeared without much of a fuzz or so it seemed. But really now, who can sleep peacefully at nights knowing that something like that clown is in his deck?

"Your Dark Clown has been vanquished Kaiba!"

"'Vanquished' and 'sacrificed' are two very different things Yugi. Look again!" answered Kaiba as the pieces of his clown shined and Gaia trembled.

"No! What's happening?" he shouted as Gaia disappeared. "Gaia!"

"Not just Gaia Yugi."

"And my Dark Magician! What have you done Kaiba?"

"It's really quite ingenious actually. Knowing you couldn't resist attacking my clown, I infected him with the Crush Card Virus." he stated calmly. I wasn't really sure what that meant but I could easily understand that the spirit was screwed. Big time.

"A Crush Card?"

"By destroying the infected Sagi, you released the Crush Card Virus. A virus that is so highly contagious to Duel Monsters that even as I speak these words, it is infecting all but the weakest cards in your precious dueling deck!" he explained smugly. I gasped as did the others. That meant that the spirit had lost the duel?

The Duel Disk on the spirits wrist went off, beeping like crazy.

"No, my cards!"

Kaiba laughed. "The only cards unaffected by the virus are only those with an attack power weaker than fifteen hundred!" His smirk became a huge grin that struck me as odd coming from him. He didn't look like a very sunny person. "Looks like I've broken the heart of your cards Yugi!" he mocked and laughed again.

"Well played. But it will take more than a virus to win this duel Kaiba!" the spirit countered, although he sounded a lot less confident than before.

Kaiba chuckled again. "Yes I expect it will Yugi. Actually I am looking forward to subjecting you to a wide array of debilitating cards!"

The spirit gritted his teeth and Joey and the others tried to encourage him. Well, everyone but Ryou that is. He simply pointed out how bad the situation was and trust me when I say that, that boy has a bad gift of making bad situations sound even worse. I would say that he is more discouraging than anything right now. It was almost like he considered Yugi's defeat just a matter of time; he just didn't say anything out loud so as to not have the hell punched out of him. And right now I might even allow it.


"You may have infected the body of my cards Kaiba but it is the heart of the cards that will get me through this contamination!" shouted the spirit and drew. He took a look at his card and frowned.

"Face it Yugi, to continue laying in this duel, you have to serve up your weakest monsters."

The spirit said nothing but his frown deepened.

"Silver Fang in attack mode!" he shouted and spanned the Duel Disk, a white big wolf appearing. "And his attack points are low enough to make him immune to your virus! Your turn."

Silver Fang Attack: 1200

Silver Fang Defense: 800

"Ironic that a wolf will be the first of your sacrificial lambs but so be it." he said and threw his Duel Disk. Ah, the art of bad puns. "Battle Ox awaken and let loose the dogs of war!" Do they have to be so dramatic every time they summon a monster? Seriously, they talk more than they duel!

Battle Ox Attack: 1700

Battle Ox Defense: 1000

The Battle Ox destroyed Silver Fang with ease. Kaiba, apparently with all his annoying smugness coming back with a vegeance, began to taunt the spirit, but he kept a straight face and summoned another creature. By combining it with a magic card called "Horn of the Unicorn" he raised the monster's attack points by 700 and managed to destroy the Battle Ox. We cheered in the sidelines for this little victory but the duel was far from over.

Kaiba didn't seem fazed by the loss of his monster. Instead, he drew a card and then summoned a monster called Mystical Elf. She appeared and started chanting and glowing.

"See Yugi", Kaiba was saying, "if there is one thing I learned from my matches with you is that you have an uncanny ability for snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. But I don't intent to give you such an opportunity today. Which is why I have summoned the Mystical Elf today to reinforce my life points by 300!"

The spirit was staring intently at him, as if trying to figure out something. Then Kaiba smirked and placed a card on his Duel Disk.

"Behold the almighty Blue Eyes White Dragon!" he shouted and a huge dragon came to the field.

Blue Eyes White Dragon Attack: 3000

Blue Eyes White Dragon Defense: 2500

For a second time, even for the flicker of a moment, I felt a presence when the dragon appeared and I narrowed my eyes. The first time, when Kaiba dueled Joey, it could be considered a hallucination, especially since I was just out of the Shadow Realm, but a second time? I may be nuts but not that nuts. There was something odd about that card.

I didn't know what was going on with all of this magic that looked like it followed Ryou and Yugi wherever they went, the sure thing was that I was brassed off with all this supernatural mumbo jumbo and when that was coming from a bloody ghost it said a lot!

"Now Yugi, your fate belongs to me! Blue Eyes White Dragon take flight and destroy Griforn! White Lightning Attack!"

A blast came out of the dragon's mouth and destroyed the spirit's monster, leaving him with a mere 400 Life Points.

"Already my Blue Eyes has you cowering and this is only the beginning." he said smugly. "Soon you will know what fear is."

"I don't fear your Blue Eyes Kaiba! I've defeated him before! And with my Giant Stone Soldier guarding me I will manage to defeat him again!" he spat as a giant humanoid boulder kneeled protectively in front of him.

Giant Stone Soldier Attack: 1300

Giant Stone Soldier Defense: 2000

"I'm afraid you're mistaken. Yugi, when you battled my Blue Eyes before they were three separate dragons. Formidable yes, but not invincible. But now I found a way to merge their power, combine them together to create a monster beyond imagining!"

Everyone's eyes widened as the three Blue Eyes White Dragons merged with each other.

"I've created a creature with no fear, with an attack force so great that no monster can stand against it! I create the Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon!" Kaiba all but screamed, pure ecstasy in his voice. When the three-headed dragon appeared, I took a step back, feeling my eyes widen even more. The raw, incredible energy that it was giving off made my head spin.

Yugi and the spirit had no chance against a creature like that.


"Yugi Moto, there is now escape! Nothing can save you now!" Kaiba announced in delight.

Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon Attack: 4500

Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon Defense: 3800

And he was probably right. Nothing in Yugi's whole deck could stand up to that thing and the way Kaiba had crippled it by infecting it with that Crush Card from before… I was no Duel Monsters expert, hell I wasn't even a Duel Monsters amateur, but it was easy to see that there was simply nothing that the spirit could do.

"That monster's attack points are off the charts!" Tea mumbled terrified.

"Yeah, how can any creature in Yugi's deck beat that thing!"

"That Kaiba! He's been setting up Yugi for that thing this entire time!" Tristan said angrily.

"Yugi, how I savor this moment! This is the moment I've been waiting for ever since you handed me my first and only Duel Monsters defeat. Prepare yourself to see the power of my creature unleashed!"

"Stay strong spirit." I murmured.

"Blue Eyes Ultimate White Dragon, Neutron Blast Attack!" Kaiba screamed.

The creature destroyed Stone Soldier, leaving Yugi defenseless and with no protection whatsoever against that dragon. Kaiba proposed to him to surrender and to my absolute shock he seemed to actually consider it!

"No Yugi!" Joey shouted.

"You can win this!" encouraged Ryou.

"Yeah!" I yelled, even though he couldn't hear me. "Show that Kaiba-freak who's the boss spirit! Don't let your Grandpa down!"

"That's right! We all believe in you!" Tea assured him.

"You gotta remember what you're fighting for Yug! The Heart of the Cards, just like your Grandpa taught you! You never let anyone down before and I know you're not gonna let your Grandpa down now!" shouted Joey with a fierce glint on his eyes. I had a feeling that in case the spirit did surrender, Joey would punch him for all he was worth.

Determination washed all over the spirit's face and his hands stopped shaking. I smiled at him.

"No Kaiba! I will never surrender to the likes of you!"

"That's it! That's the kind of determination I expect from you! Fight on, gather every last bit of your strength now Yugi! I prefer to take you down when you fight at your hardest."

I felt Ryou tense beside me and I saw that all of them were staring intently at the spirit. I closed my eyes and lowered my head, smiling slightly.

"We all believe in you guys." I whispered.

"Kick butt Yug!" screamed Joey.

"It comes to this. So draw your card and face your fate Yugi." said Kaiba with a grin.

"Let's finish this Kaiba!" the spirit agreed, not even looking at the card he had just drawn.

And for the first time since my death, I prayed for someone other than Ryou or myself.
