Cooler and Frieza (LP: 5400) both smile menacingly at Yami and Joey (LP: 6800), after their strong blow to Obelisk. Even though, Yami and Joey have higher life points, the brothers still have Nappa and Recoome, and a card combination that keep their life points growing.

"Going to end your turn already?" asks Frieza in a taunt.

"Since Obelisk's effect was to be done during your main phase... you still have that and a battle phase to do," smiles Cooler.

Yami looks at his hand once again, having Obelisk fall was a major hit to his strategy. But there is one card that he keeps looking back at, the card that Ishizu gave him.

Ishizu watches the pharaoh, barely looking anywhere else.

Yami remembers what she told him earlier, to use this card. "I'll one card face-down and set on the field... Goku!"

"Huh!" say the brothers together.

Yami places the card on his duel disk, which is scanned for a half-second. In a flash of light, Goku, the Earth-loving Saiyan, appears on the field.

"Where did you get that card!" questions Frieza.

Joey wonders the same thing. He suddenly remembers that Yami had also given him one. Could he have one of these DragonBall cards as well?

Nappa and Recoome react to Goku's appearance on the field with big grins and laughs.

"Weak Saiyan," says Recoome.

"You don't even deserve to be out here, Kakarot," says Goku.

Goku smiles, "My name is not Kakarot. My name is Goku, of the planet Earth." (LVL 4, 2000 ATK, 1500 DEF) He then looks back at his master, "Oh, hi!"

Yami was caught off guard by that. The Duel Monster was trying to interact with him, "Uh... Hi."

"Hope you're ready for this," Goku says as he stretches a bit. "These guys look tough, but I'm always ready for a challenge!"

Yami pauses for a second, then nods in agreement. "Yes, I am ready for anything. And now I end my turn."

"Big talk for such weakness..." Cooler draws and smiles, "I'll summon someone familiar. How about Raditz! In attack mode!"

The long-haired Saiyan appears on the field. Raditz (LVL 4, 2000 ATK, 1500 DEF) looks around the field at his lone foe and fellow fighters. "Not much resistance here."

"Ha! Barely noticeable..." adds Nappa.

"I'll show you noticeable in a moment!" yells Joey.

"Pathetic humans..." mutters Raditz. He then looks at Goku, "Ha. Hello, dear brother."

"I'm not your brother."

Cooler sets to continue his move, "And now, I'll send Nappa to destroy Goku! Go!" Nappa charges in.

"You activated a trap!" says Yami. "Zero Gravity! All monsters on the field switch their attack and defense modes! Which means all of yours are now defending."

"But your Goku won't be able to attack till after my move," says Frieza grinning. "Having Goku in attack mode now doesn't really help you."

Yami doesn't reply but remains confident.

Cooler goes through his cards, "... I'll end my turn."

"Good!" Joey draws, "Heh! I think you'll like this, Yugi. I use the power of Ultimate Offering to summon to the field... Jinzo!" The machine-like monster appears on the field in attack mode. "And with the coming of his presence is the leaving of your traps!" Ultimate Offering, Appropriate, and Solemn Wishes are destroyed automatically by Jinzo's effect. "And now, for the attack! And he'll attack your Nappa while he's down!" Jinzo powers up and propels an energy orb at Nappa.

Nappa yells as his body gets hit by the orb and he falls to the ground before disintegrating to the Graveyard. Cooler growls slightly.

"And I end my turn, but remember now that you can't activate traps."

"As long as that thing is on the field," corrects Frieza. He draws a card. "I place two cards face-down on the field and summon another Ginyu Force member, Jeice! And now I'll send Recoome to destroy your Jinzo." Recoome charges in.

"I activate a Quick-Play Spell Card, Rush Recklessly!" says Yami. "And that'll increase Jinzo's attack to 3100!"

Recoome charges in with a raises fist. An electric field around Jinzo nearly electrocutes Recoome and sends me flying back to his space on the field.

"Ha!" Raditz turns his head away from his fallen comrade.

"Shut up!" defends Jeice. "He can still kick your worthless hide."

"Maybe true... but right now, Jeice, you are going to attack them directly!" says Frieza.

"You got it!" Jeice charges in pass Goku and Jinzo and strikes both Yami and Joey, actually hitting him.

"HEY!" yells Joey. "THAT ACTUALLY HURT!"

Frieza laughs. "I end my turn."

Yami draws a card. "I equip Black Pendant to Goku, increasing his attack to 2400!"

"Bah! Doesn't scare me at all," says Raditz. He starts to approach Goku, "Come on, little brother. Leave this weak race behind and honor your own... as one of the few Saiyans lucky enough to be among Frieza and Cooler's men. Come on, Kakarot..."

"Is he actually trying to convince him!" says Joey in surprise.

"... My name is not Kakarot. My name is Goku!"

"Goku!" yells Yami. "Attack Raditz!"

"You got it!" Goku charges in with a tackling dive. Raditz suddenly dodges.

"You think that I'm going to fall for a direct attack. Pathetic! You can't be my little brother!"

Goku chuckles, "That's what I was trying to tell you!" Goku flies at Raditz again, who dodges again but was expected to. "KHA-MEH-HA-MEH-HA!" Goku fires a ki blast as he flies by where Raditz stood. The blast hits the elder brother head on and pushes him off the field into a wall.

Yami and Joey gasp at what is happening. -It's like stepping into a family feud!- says Yugi's consciousness.

Raditz moans as he lies imprinted in the wall, then disappears to the Graveyard.

Goku walks back to his place, laughing. "Boy, that was fun."

Yami is puzzled. "Goku?"

"Yeah?"

Yami pauses for a moment. -He's almost completely self-aware! Just like Cooler and Frieza!-

-Is that a good thing or a bad thing?- asks Yugi.

-I'm not sure right now...-

"Was it something important?" asks Goku.

"Uh... No."

Goku smiles, "Alright." He turns back to face the others. "Who's next?"

"YOU WILL SOON BE!" yells Recoome.

"Easy, mate!" says Jeice to the giant.

"Before I end my turn," says Yami, still showing signs of puzzlement, "I'll place this card face-down."

Cooler draws. He glances at his brother and nods slowly once. "I place one card face-down on the field. That's it."

Joey draws. "Ha! I'll play Graceful Charity, which will allow me to draw three cards and discard... two..." Joey is surprised at an unfamiliar card he drew, but he recognizes the monster on it. -This is the card Yugi gave me! But I don't know how I can defend Jinzo in a moment...- He places two cards into the Graveyard. "I first switch Jinzo into defense mode and summon to the field--..." He looks at the name again. "Uh... Piccolo?" He places the card down on the field. In a flash, the tall green alien appears on the field in a cape and turban (LVL 4, ATK 2000, DEF 1600).

"HEY! PICCOLO!" yells Goku.

"Huh? Goku?" Piccolo looks at his rival.

"Nice to see you joining us."

Piccolo doesn't reply to Goku. "So, what I suppose to do?"

"Well..." says Joey. "You can attack Jeice."

Piccolo quickly charges in and takes out Jeice without much effort, just a simple strong punch. Piccolo then simply walks back to his spot.

Frieza growls and curses the Namekian under his breath.

"Wow, Piccolo!" cheers Goku.

Piccolo doesn't reply to Goku again, but Goku is not offended by it.

"Uh... I guess I end my turn," says Joey.

Frieza draws. "I place one monster card face-down in defense, and send Recoome to destroy your Jinzo!"

Recoome charges up and fires an oral blast at Jinzo, which disintegrates with the attack. Recoome then laughs loudly, "Stupid whatever-you-were."

"I now set one card face-down and end my turn," says Frieza.

Yami draws. "I'll place one card face-down and send Goku to attack your face-down monster!"

Goku charges in and destroys the monster. "WHY ME!" cries Guldo.

"HA! With Guldo going to the Graveyard, I am allowed to draw a spell or trap from my Deck or Graveyard. And I know which one to get..." He gets the card and puts it in his hand.

"Oops..." says Goku.

"Oops!" repeats Piccolo.

"I end my turn..." says Yami. -And I bet I know what card you just got back...-


Cell's limbs slowly return to a smoother appearance, but the damage to his generator was very great. "I'm far from finished, Kaiba," he growls.

"So, you planning on living up to your end of the deal?" asks Kaiba. "Surrender yourself, your whole program, to me."

Marik takes a few steps forward. Mokuba suddenly bursts into the room and heads to his brother, "Seto!" He latches onto Kaiba. "I'm glad to see you here!"

"Aw... a family moment," says Cell. "I might as well leave."

"You're not going anywhere!"

"Who's going to stop me?" Cell levitates upward and back towards the hole in the wall.

Kaiba's duel disk activates and one of the holo-generators flies off, surprising him slightly. It centers at one position and casts a holo-gram around itself. "You running scared now, Cell?" grins Vegeta.

"You up for games, Vegeta?" grins Cell. His body is now fully visible but his solidness is nowhere near. He flies out through the hole and into the night.

Vegeta takes off after him without saying anything.

"How... did you do that?" asks Marik to Kaiba.

Kaiba, and Mokuba, turn and head to the doorway, looking at the Vegeta card that was . He doesn't reply until he passes Marik, "I doubt I'm the one that did it."

Marik looks at the other card his sister gave him and told him to keep. "Uh... Kaiba... I have one of those cards too."

Kaiba stops.

"Ishizu told me to hang onto it for when I need it."

"... Lucky you, you're one of the group then," replies Kaiba sarcastically. He looks down at Mokuba, "Was anything recorded about what Cell really is?"

"There should be something saved."

"I'm heading back to the hospital, to talk to Log about this again. I would like you to use what was recorded to create some kind of anti-virus for all of these things."

"I could try. Should I scan your card as well."

Kaiba thinks for a second, "For all I know, having this card is what will keep Vegeta under my control." He turns his head back to Marik, "What card do you have...?"


Cooler draws. "I place one card face-down on the field and one monster card face-down in defense mode. That is all."

Joey draws, and chuckles. "Okay! First I'll activate the Spell Card 'the Warrior Returning Alive'! I'll bring back one warrior-type from our Graveyard and summon it to the field! Gearfried the Iron Knight!"

"So what?" says Cooler. "That won't help you at all."

"Guess again, dome-head! Because now I activate Release Restraint! This allows me to tribute Gearfried for a stronger card from my deck! Say hello to Gearfried the Swordmaster! Now, he's the strongest monster on the field."

Yami smiles at Joey, "Nice draw."

"Thanks, Yug. But it ain't over yet. Because I'll equip him with Lightning Blade!"

Frieza and Cooler show signs of being a bit worried...

"And with equipping Gearfried comes his effect, which allows me to select one monster and send it to the Graveyard! And I'm sick of seeing that one's face constantly around."

"Uh?" says Recoome.

Gearfried charges in and takes one quick slice with the Lightning Blade. Recoome falls forward and disappears to the Graveyard.

"Curse you..." says Frieza.

"And that was ONLY my main phase. Time for the attack! And Piccolo is going to attack Cooler's face-down monster!"

Piccolo charges in and attacks the hidden monster. Man-Eater growls as it is attacked.

"UH NO!"

Cooler laughs, "And I'll select the monster you were so proud of getting onto the field. Gearfried comes on... Gearfried goes to the Graveyard." The Man-Eater leaps at Gearfried, latches on, and both are sent to the Graveyard.

"It's okay, Joey. The fact that you've managed to clear all of their monsters is a great help," says Yami.

"Thanks, Yugi." Joey looks back at his opponents, "I end my turn."

Frieza draws, then looks at his brother who points down to one card on his side of the field. "First, I'll set one card face-down and I activate that card first, Monster Reborn. Now I'll special summon Nappa back onto the field in attack mode! And he'll attack Piccolo!"

Piccolo grabs his cape and turban, and throws it off to the side, "Bring it on..."

"Gladly!" Nappa charges in at Piccolo, grabs his head, and continues to fly Piccolo straight into a wall.

"... We're causing alot of damage," comments Joey.

"We've disabled the alarms and sensors a long time ago," says Cooler. "In fact, the guards are still locked in their little room. No interruptions."

Nappa returns to his spot on the field.

"Piccolo..." says a sadden Goku. He then looks at Nappa with an angered expression.

"And I end my turn." Frieza smiles.

Yami draws. "I'll also activate the Spell Card Monster Reborn! And I'll special summon Piccolo back onto the field in attack mode." The Namekian returns, less his cape and turban.

"HEY! PICCOLO!" yells Goku.

"Get ready, Goku," says Piccolo. "Don't get sidetracked with this guy."

"Why? Because he killed you?"

Piccolo glances over at Goku, then stares right back at Nappa.

"And now... I'll send Goku to attack Nappa! Go!" yells Yami.

Frieza laughs loudly, "Now, you've done it! You've activated my trap!"

-And we know what it is...- says Yugi's consciousness.

"I activate Nappa's Explosive Power! Paying another 2000 Life Points to activate, and now a simple dice roll to leave you open..." says Frieza as he thumbs a die in his hand.

Nappa begins to power up for his attack, yelling as the ground quakes slightly.

-Come on...- thinks Yami.

Frieza tosses the die onto the field, which enlarges again for everyone to see. It spins on its corner for a couple seconds before landing on one side. Everyone gasps...

"TWO!" complains Cooler.

"HA! Your trap does nothing! Now, it--." Yami is interrupted.

"SCREW TRAPS! SCREW YOUR CARDS! SCREW THIS PLANET!" yells Nappa. "I'M GOING TO SEND US ALL TO THE GRAVEYARD!" He does his attack anyway, causing a large explosion which takes up the entire field. Everyone shields themselves from the blast.

Ishizu, who is the furthest away, peers through her fingers to see what's happening. A few figures soon become visible as the smoke thins out.

The brothers smile, though they know it was an illegal move caused by Nappa's AI. Nappa becomes visible as well, grinning, "Death to the Earth..."

A flash comes through the fog. Yami can be seen with his Millennium Puzzle glowing, as well as an Egyptian Eye on his forehead, "Really, it's time for your death and the rest of your Life Points!"

"WHAT THE--!" gasps Cooler.

"GO, GOKU!"

Goku suddenly comes out of the cloud of smoke and charges in at Nappa, delivering a strong fury of punches and kicks.

"Whoa..." gasps Joey as he sees Yami in his supernatural state and the rage that Goku seems to be in.

Goku slams Nappa into the ground with a downward slam, crating him in the actually mall floor.

"AND NOW PICCOLO, ATTACK THEM DIRECTLY!"

"SPECIAL BEAM..." yells Piccolo as he powers up two fingers on his forehead, "CANNON... FIRE!" He fires a twisting beam of energy at Cooler, which connects and forces him to fly into a nearby store.

Frieza is suddenly lifted up by the neck. "You lose..." says Piccolo as he holds the overlord up. Suddenly, Cooler comes flying out of the store and knocks Piccolo away.

"What's going on with that kid?" asks Cooler to his brother.

"I don't know, " Frieza says as he recovers. "Wait..." Data starts to flash through his head, scans of data from Pegasus' computer systems. "It's a Millennium Item... the pyramid around his neck."

"A what!"

"I think it is time for you two to leave..." says Yami. Goku standing just behind him.

"Uh?" Joey is not entirely clear with what is going on. He even jumps a bit when Piccolo returns to stand behind him.

Frieza and Cooler stand their ground, then Frieza looks over at Ishizu. "... Another one."

"Huh!" gasps Yami.

Frieza quickly charges in at Ishizu and lifts her up by her own Millennium Necklace. "What is this! WHAT IS THIS!"

Ishizu is unable to reply as she dangles from Frieza's grasp.

"Game over…" Cooler snaps his fingers and both Goku and Piccolo disappear.

"What did you do!" asks Joey.

"We were running the game with our own generators. So, I just simply turn--."

Yami and Joey's duel disk suddenly turn on with a hum. One generator from each detaches and flies a short distance. Goku and Piccolo materialize once again, with the generators at their core. Both charge in at Frieza to help Ishizu.

"THINK FAST!" Cooler fires a laser from his finger at the ceiling above them. The ceiling's windows shatter and deadly pieces of shards start to fall.

"Oh no!" yells Goku. Both Goku and Piccolo are forced to go back and save Yami and Joey. Each one grabs their master and flies them towards the main entrance. Both head back after dropping them off.

The glowing symbols on Yami's body soon fade out. He can hear police sirens coming their way.

Frieza rips the necklace from Ishizu's neck, dropping her onto the floor. Piccolo dives at Frieza and sends him flying back a few yards. Goku grabs Ishizu and flies her over to two teens.

"We're done here..." says Cooler. "Come on!" The brothers head out through the hole above. After leaving, the alarms and sprinklers activate after the viral block was removed.

Joey holds the door open for Goku to carry Ishizu out. He lays her down gently on the cement a fair distance away from the mall. She's unconscious, bleeding and bruised by the fallen debris.

"Ishizu..." says Yami in great concerned.

Three police cars pull up to them...
