A/N: Okay. It's time for another chapter. Thanks Setoglomper and Vulpix1000! Unlike before, when I was doing all the duels at once, which was very confusing. I'm going to them one at a time. However, they will still be taking place at the same time. Last time the friends finally boarded the aircraft to get to the World Championships. Only to be stopped by the Rare Hunters. And to make matters worse, they all have millenium items. All right, let's go!

Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! or Yu-Gi-Oh! GX. And I never will!

"Well, since I won the last time, I'll give you the liberty of going first." Rare Hunter said.

"Gee thanks." Joey said. "All right, let's duel!" Rare Hunter: 4000 / Joey: 4000

"Before that." Rare Hunter said. "I'm going to take this duel to another level."

"Huh?" Joey asked bewildered. "What the hell are you talking about?"

"Notice this?" Rare Hunter asked, pointing to the Millenium Key.

"Oh no!" Joey shouted as it clicked for him. "Those items can bring forth shadow games!"

"So you remember?" Rare Hunter said with a devlish smile.

"Oh I remember." Joey said.

FLASHBACK

"You and I will finish this battle in the shadow realm, Yugi." Pegasus said. "And this time it's winner take all!." The Shadow Realm then covered the arena as well as Yugi and Pegasus.

END FLASHBACK

"That's it?" Rare Hunter asked.

"There were other times." Joey said.

FLASHBACK

"It's time for me to take this duel to the next level." Yami Marik said laughing.

"I'm ready for your shadow game!" Joey said.

"I decided to raise the stakes, by adding these energy streams to our game." Yami Marik said. "Now whenever, your monster's attacked. Your body will be drained of a little more energy."

END FLASHBACK

"Well, this shadow game will be a little different." Rare Hunter said. "We will both choose something that belongs dear to each of us. Then when the duel ends, the loser will also lose the thing that is dear to him forever! Now, with the power of the Millenium Key, I can see the thing that you treasure most, are your friends and sister. So when you lose the duel. You will lose all of those memories!"

"You can't!" Joey shouted.

"I just did!" Rare Hunter laughed. "Now let's duel!"

"Fine." Joey said. "I'll begin with my Alligator Sword(1500/1200) in attack mode."

"That's all?" Rare Hunter asked. "I'll summon my Hannibal Necromancer(1400/1800) in defense mode."

"It's my turn." Joey said. "And I'll summon my Goblin Attack Force(2300/0) in attack mode. Now my Goblins, destroy his Hannibal Necromancer!"

"Hmmph." Rare Hunter said. "It matters not."

"Oh yeah?" Joey snapped. "Well how about this? Alligator's Sword attack his life points directly!"

"Damn." Rare Hunter muttered under his breath." Joey: 4000 / Rare Hunter: 2500

"I'll end my turn." Joey said.

"I thought so." Rare Hunter said. "I activate the magic card Graceful Charity! This powerful magic card, allows me to draw three cards from my deck, then I must discard two of them. Which I have done. Now I activate the magic card, Nightmare Steel Cage! This magic card prevents both players from attacking for two turns. Now I summon Sangan(1000/600) in defense mode."

"Are you done yet?" Joey interupted.

"Not yet." Rare Hunter said. "I'll place one card facedown. And now I am done."

"Took you long enough." Joey said. "I sacrifice my Alligator's Sword, so I can summon my Flame Swordsman(1800/1600)! Now I activate the magic card Salamandra! This card will boost my Flame Swordsman's attack strength by 700! Giving him 2500 attack points! Unfortunately, I gotta end my turn."

"It's my turn." Rare Hunter said. "Perfect. I'll activate my facedown trap card, Jar of Greed! This allows me to draw one card from my deck. Now I summon Witch of the Black Forest(1100/1200 in defense mode. Finally, I'll place two cards facedown and I'll end my turn."

"I know what you're up to!" Joey said. "You used it on me last time. But you won't win! I'll beat you before you summon Exodia!"

"That's what you think." Rare Hunter said. "But this is a shadow game. And I make all the rules. You'll never stop the unstoppable Exodia!"

"It's my move!" Joey yelled. "And I'll summon my Panther Warrior in attack mode! Now I've got three strong monsters on the field. I'll place one card facedown and I'll end my turn."

"Well, since it's been two turns since I played Nightmare Steel Cage, it's now destroyed." Rare Hunter said. "Now it's my turn." Rare Hunter drew his card, and began smiling.

"Heh heh heh." Rare Hunter said. "I drew it."

"You drew what?" Joey asked dumbfounded. "There's no way you could have summoned Exodia by now!"

"I wasn't talking about Exodia." Rare Hunter said. "It's a card you might remember. I activate the Seal of Orichalcos!"

"WHAT!" Joey screamed. "After we beat Dartz in the Virtual World, that card was destroyed forever!"

"That's what you think." Rare Hunter said. "Now, feel its wrath!" The Seal of Orichalcos emerged from the top of the roof and slowly came down too the field. And surrounded the field. Then the symbol formed on the field, Rare Hunter's monsters, and Rare Hunter himself.

"Crap." Joey said. "I can't believe this. Bandit Keith must have also taken this card."

"Now, when you lose the duel, you lose your soul." Rare Hunter said. "And every one of my monsters gains 500 extra attack points." As if to prove his point, Witch of the Black Forest's attack points rose to 1600, and Sangan's attack points shot up to 1500.

"I'll summon one monster in defense mode." Rare Hunter said. "Your move."

"All right!" Joey exclaimed when he saw what card that he drew. "Now I sacrifice all three monsters so I can bring out my ultimate fighting machine. My Gilford the Lightning(2800/1400)!"

"So?" Rare Hunter was obviously not impressed.

"When Gilford the Lightning is summoned by sacrificing three monsters, its special ability activates." Joey said. "It instantly destroys every monster on your side of the field!" Gilford roared, and raised its sword. Lightning shot out and destroyed all of Rare Hunter's monsters."

"Well, you destroyed my Witch of the Black Forest, and my Sangan." Rare Hunter said. "Sangan allows me to select a monster from my deck with 1500 or fewer attack points and add it to my hand. And I choose Left Leg of the Forbidden One(200/300)!"

"Oh crud!" Joey said worriedly.

"And Witch of the Black Forest allows me to select one monster from my deck with 1500 or fewer defense points and add it to my hand." Rare Hunter explained. "And I choose Right Arm of the Forbidden One(200/300)!"

"Heh heh heh." Rare Hunter said. "You better do something fast. Before I summon Exodia."

"Well, how about this?" Joey yelled. "Gilford the Lightning, wipe out the rest of his life points, with your Lightning Sword! Game over, pal!"

"That's what you think." Rare Hunter said. "I reveal my facedown card. Negate Attack! This trap card negates your attack and ends your battle phase."

"Fine." Joey said. "I'll place one card facedown and I'll end my turn."

"It's my turn." Rare Hunter said. "I'll activate the magic card Pot of Greed! This allows me to draw two cards from my deck. Next I'll place two cards facedown and then I'll summon Mystic Tomato(1400/1100) in defense mode. Your move." The Orichalcos symbol formed onto the monster and its attack points rose to 1900.

"It's my move." Joey said. "I summon Gearfried the Iron Knight(1800/1600) in attack mode! Now Gearfried destroy his Mystic Tomato!"

"By destroying Mystic Tomato." Rare Hunter said. "You activated its special ability. Now I can select one dark monster from my deck and summon it to the field in attack mode. I choose to summon another Sangan to the field."

"Fine." Joey said. "Gilford the Lightning! Destroy his Sangan with your Lightning Sword!" Joey: 4000 / Rare Hunter: 1200

"You activated my Sangan's special ability." Rare Hunter said. "Now I can take any monster from my deck and add it to my hand, as long as it has less than 1500 attack points, and I choose the Right Leg of the Forbidden One(200/300)!"

"Damn it!" Joey shouted. "This is SO not going well!"

"Ha ha ha." Rare Hunter laughed. "It's my turn. And I activate my facedown card. The trap card Reckless Greed! This allows me to draw two cards from my deck. But in exchange, I must skip my next two draw phases. Well, with what I have, I'm not worried. To finish, I will place one monster in defense mode, and I will end my turn."

"It's my move!" Joey said confidently. "And you're going down! I summon Rocket Warrior(1500/1300) in attack mode. Now Rocket Warrior destroy his facedown defensive monster!"

"The monster that you just destroyed was my Mask of Darkness(900/400)." Rare Hunter said. "When it's destroyed, I can add one trap card from my graveyard and add it to my hand, and I choose my Reckless Greed!"

"Fine." Joey sputtered. "It doesn't matter! Gilford the Lightning! Wipe out the rest of his life points with your Lightning Sword!"

"You activated my trap card." Rare Hunter said. "The trap card Enchanted Javelin! This card will add your monster's attack points to my life points, so basically, nothing happens to me!"

"Damn!" Joey yelled. "Do you ever quit?"

"No." Rare Hunter said. "Now since I activated Reckless Greed. I can't draw a card. But no matter. I'll place one monster in defense mode and two cards facedown. Then I will end my turn."

"It's my move." Joey said. "And now I will end it! I activate my Giant Trunade! This card blasts every magic and trap card on the field back to the player's hands!"

"No you can't!" Rare Hunter screamed as his traps were sent back to his hand.

"It's over!" Joey said. "Now Gilford the Lightning! Destroy his defensive monster with your lightning sword!"

"This can't be!" Rare Hunter said. "I had four pieces of Exodia in my hand, and the fifth piece was on top of my deck!"

"How would you know?" Joey demanded.

"Oops." Rare Hunter said.

"Well you're gonna pay." Joey said. "Rocket Warrior, wipe out his life points!"

"NOOOOOO!" Rare Hunter shouted as his life points hit zero and his duel disk powered down. Joey: 4000 / Rare Hunter: 0

"Well, now you're gonna go." Joey said.

"You may have beaten me." Rare Hunter said. "But there are others who will kill you and avenge me!" Those were Rare Hunter's final words before the Seal of Orichalcos and the Shadow Realm fused together and captured his soul and body. Then the Millenium Key dropped onto the floor. Joey picked it up.

"I better be careful with this thing." Joey said. "He then pulled a piece of string from his pocket. And hung the Millenium Key around his neck.

CONTROL ROOM

"NOOOO!" Bandit Keith roared angrily. "How could Rare Hunter fail? He defeated Wheeler last time! Well no matter. I WILL KILL HIM!"

ANOTHER ROOM AT THE SAME TIME DURING JOEY'S DUEL

"So shall we begin?" Arkana asked.

"Tell me the rules of this shadow game." Yugi demanded.

"Very well." Arkana said. "Just look around you."

Yugi looked around and he saw that they were no longer on the airship. But were now each on a small platform above extrememly hot magma and their legs were in shackles.

"What is the meaning of this!" Yugi shouted.

"As we lose life points." Arkana explained. "The surface will crumble. When your life points reach zero. The surface will completely be destroyed and you will fall into the magma. But don't worry. If you win. An entire platform will open in front of you, and lead to a door. A key will also appear in front of you. When you open the door, you will return to the airship."

"You're insane!" Yugi shouted. "I saved your life!"

"Heh." Arkana responded. "That was your own fault, and you never should have."

"Fine, let's just get on with this duel." Yugi said.

"As you wish." Arkana said. Then the Millenium Necklace around his neck shined light. And the game began. They both activated their duel disks and their life points were set to 4000.

"I'll go first." Yugi said. "I will summon my Queen's Knight(1500/1600) in defense mode. That'll be all for now."

"Now the show shall begin." Arkana said. "I summon Dark Rabbit(1100/1500) in attack mode. Next I'll activate the magic card Axe or Despair! This will increase my Dark Rabbit's attack points by 1000 giving it 2100 attack points! Now Dark Rabbit. Destroy his Queen's Knight!"

"It's my move!" Yugi said. "I summon Big Shield Gardna(100/2600) in defense mode, and then I will end my turn."

"You think you can cower behind that thing?" Arkana asked smugly. "Well you can't, and I'm about to show you why. I activate the magic card Pot of Greed! This allows me to draw two cards from my deck. Now I activate the magic card Spellcaster summon! By giving up 1000 life points, I can summon any spellcaster monster from my hand and I choose my Dark Magician(2500/2100)!" Arkana's red Dark Magician emerged, looking for revenge on Yugi.

"Now I will activate a magic card to seal your fate." Arkana said.

"What are you talking about?" Yugi asked.

"I activate the Seal of Orichalcos!" Arkana yelled and placed the card in his duel disk.

"What!" Yugi shouted. "That card was destroyed when we beat Dartz!"

"So you believe." Arkana said. "Just watch." The Seal of Orichalcos emerged from the sky and surrounded the playing field. Then Arkana and his monster's gained the power of Seal. Dark Rabbit's attack points rose to 2600, while the Dark Magician's attack power increased to 3000.

"This can't be." Yugi said.

"It can." Arkana said. "Now thanks to the power of the Seal of Orichalcos, I am allowed to have up to ten monster's on the field at once. And every monster I have gains 500 extra attack points. And whoever loses the duel, loses their soul. There is no way you'll win this time!"

"What do I do?" Yugi asked himself worriedly.

"Dark Magician, destroy his Big Shield Gardna!" Arkana ordered.

Yugi watched in horror as his last defense was destroyed.

"Now Dark Rabbit attack him directly!" Arkana commanded. Dark Rabbit attacked Yugi and most of the platform he was on broke instantly.

Arkana: 4000 / Yugi: 1400

"You're done, Yugi Muto." Arkana said. "You're one attack away from defeat and death. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!"

A/N: Well, I know I said that updates would come faster but it turns out I'm going to busy this summer. I promise though, that I will continue to update. Here is chapter seven. I really hope you liked it. Well, Joey may have defeated Rare Hunter, but it appears that Yugi is down for the count. And what about Jaden and Kaiba's tag duel with Umbra and Lumis? Stay tuned.
