YuGiOh! The Return of the Puzzle
"So Stacey," Yugi asks, "Where did you acquire your Dark Magician?"
"The Dark Magician is an extremely rare card, so it wasn't easy. I had to go to 50 different stores around the world just to find one. After that, Dark Magicians started popping up everywhere around me. I just kept thinking that why couldn't find these earlier."
"Around the world? That must have been aggravating. Then they just started to pop up everywhere. That would've driven me mad." Yugi said
"Yeah, after they started appearing everywhere, I bought another one. I bought the one with red robes first, then I bought the one in blue robes second. Now that I've seen yours, I'll probably look for that one and buy it too."
"Why?" Yugi asks.
"I kinda like yours better than mine. Its kinda cool looking. Mine aren't in any poses except for standing positions." Stacey says
"Yeah it is kinda cool looking." Yugi says "So what other kind of cards are in your deck? Is it built around summoning the Dark Magician, or what?"
"Sorta, but my mentor told me never to rely on just one monster. So I have a lot of elite line of spellcasters such as Dark Magician, of course, Dark Magician Girl, Sorcerer of Dark Magic, Gravekeeper's Visionary and Chaos Sorcerer." Stacey holds the cards he just named up.
Yugi notices a ring on Stacey's finger. "Stacey, where did you get that ring."
"What, this?" Stacey asks pointing to the ring. "I got it from my father. He said that it originated in Egypt. My dad was an Army guy. He traveled around the world to where the U.S. Army sent him. He spent some time in Egypt. He was in the bazaars and he saw this ring. He thought that I would like it. When he brought it home, it fit and we didn't have to resize it. He said that the man told him a legend about the ring. The man told him that there are two rings and that when they are joined together, a great secret is revealed."
"Um, how do I say this?" Yugi says. "I have the second ring at home. I found it near an excavation site in Egypt."
"You stole it?" Stacey asks.
"No, I unearthed it. I'm an archeologist. I was excavating a site near where I last saw my friend. I found treasures like the millennium items." Yugi replies
"What are the millennium items?" Stacey asks
"The items are ancient treasures. In ancient times, the items were used to cleanse peoples' souls. The pharaoh had the Millennium Puzzle, and the guardians had the other items." Yugi replies.
"Well anyway, I kinda wanna see the second ring. I want to see what this great secret is, don't you?" Stacey asks.
"Yeah I do, but part of me is kinda afraid to see what it is. Once you've seen a demon, you get a little nervous about things that have legends attached to them." Yugi retorts.
"You've seen a demon?! What was it like?!" Stacey asks excitedly with a hint of fear in him.
"It's not something I like to talk about. It's complicated, but it kinda scared me at first. But then I saw it and it was not like anything I'd ever seen before. It wasn't like in those shows where they slice your back and front to shreds, but he had a lot of power." Yugi answers.
"Wow that's amazing. Why was it there?" Stacey asks.
"Zorc, as he was named, wanted to destroy the world. So the Pharaoh combined the three Egyptian God Cards to create the Creator of Light. The Creator of Light was kinda like an angle while Zorc was a demon. It was kinda like good verses evil, ya know?
"Yeah, cool. Is that when the Pharaoh returned to the spirit world?" Stacey asks.
"He left just after that. He and I dueled to determine we were ready to separate from each other. Take a guess at who won."
"I'm guessing the Pharaoh because the millennium puzzle is still here."
"Wrong. I won. And after I won, the millennium items were supposedly sealed away, but I found them."
"Close but no cigar." Stacey says
"Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades." Yugi counters.
"Hahaha, good one." Stacey says.
