"No, Yugi that card is supposed to go here, I think." I say.

"How do you know? You're not the one who designed them." Yugi says.

"I think you might be doing it wrong though. The order doesn't look correct."

The Locator Cards then emit a slight glow, "You were saying?"

"Shut up."

A holographic image of Domino City then appears above the Locator Cards. "Ehhh, where are we right now?" Joey asks.

"We're over here. See, the pier." I say pointing to the hologram.

"You sure dats the right place?"

"Don't you see the warehouses?"

"You don't know they're warehouses, they just look like rectangles! For all we know, those rectangles could just be a cheap stunt Kaiba pulled to throw us off!"

"Okay guys, calm down." Yugi says, "I think Sabrina's right, it does look like the pier." I smirk at Joey, which makes him frown. "And see, this building over here is flashing, so that must be the location of the finals. It looks like it's around the middle of the city. It could take a while to get there though."

"We can take my car, but it might be a bit cramped." Mai says.

"No problem, at least it's better than walking." I say.

The eight of us walk over to Mai's blue convertible car, and try to figure out the seating arrangements. Mai ends up driving (obviously), Serenity sits in front with her, while the other six of us try to find a way to fit into the back. The back was made to only fit three people, so we decide the smallest people should sit there; Yugi, Tea, and Tristan. Joey, Duke, and I sit behind the seats, on the hood, with our legs in between Yugi, Tea, and Tristan.

Luckily, Mai doesn't drive too fast, or else we would've fallen off. It was fun though, letting the breeze hit my face and it was just nice being with my friends. Mai stops the car, "Why did you stop? The finals are about two blocks from here." I say.

"I know. But when the finals are over, the roads will be crazy, so I'm parking here so we don't get stuck in traffic." Mai says.

"Oh, yeah, good idea Mai." Joey says.

So here we go the eight of us walking two blocks to the location of the finals. The town is dark, and very quiet. I mean, sure it's nighttime, but I didn't expect it to be this quiet. "So, who do you suppose will be at the finals?" I say trying to start a conversation.

"Well, there are the four of us here. And no doubt Kaiba will also be there. The other three could be anybody." Yugi says.

"They must be pretty strong though."

We continue walking, and having small conversations here and there. I look up ahead and notice that the streetlights aren't on down there, "That's weird." I say. This makes the gang look up, "I wonder why they're not on."

"Maybe there was an outage." Yugi says.

We shrug it off and take a step forward, but Joey stays put, "Come on Joey." Tea says.

"Nuh uh. I ain't taking a step forward. What if something jumps out at us?" He says nervously.

"Joey, you have the seven of us to protect you. And besides, this is a city; nothing abnormal is going to jump on you." I say.

"Then what's that?" he says pointing forward.

The rest of us look forward to see someone walking out of the darkness. "Bakura?! I thought you're supposed to be in the hospital!" Yugi says.

"There's been a change of plans." He says. I don't think that's Bakura, I think it's that evil spirit.

"Sabrina, let me take over. This could get dangerous." Ari says.

"Alright."

~Ari~

I wonder what he's doing here. Well, then again, why wouldn't he be here? No doubt he's here to get the Millennium Items. I look over and notice that Yami is already here, "Why are you here?" he says.

"I've come for your Puzzle, why else? And I also have my sights on that Egyptian God card of yours." Bakura says. "It's time Pharaoh, time to battle for that Puzzle of yours!"

This just seems like déjà vu. I mean, when are people not trying to get the Puzzle? "Alright Bakura, I'll play your game, but only so my friends will be safe." Yami says.

The two get their Duel Disks at the ready. But, then again, I don't remember him ever getting a Duel Disk. Knowing the dark spirit, he probably stole it. Bakura has the first turn, "I summon my Gross Ghost of Fiends in attack mode. The move goes to you." He says

Yami draws, "I summon Alpha the Magnet Warrior. Alpha, attack his Ghost!" he says.

Bakura is down to 3900 Life Points. Bakura sets a monster and ends his turn. Yami sacrifices Alpha to summon Summoned Skull, and then attacks Bakura's face-down, which was Souls of the Forgotten. Bakura sets another monster.

Yami draws, "I set one card face-down and then summon the Feral Imp, in attack mode! Summoned Skull, attack his face-down monster, and Feral Imp, attack him directly!" he says. Bakura now has 2600 Life Points.

Bakura draws, "Now Pharaoh, it's time to meet one of my strongest monsters. By removing from play three fiend-type monsters I'm able to summon this; Dark Necrofear in attack mode! I set one card and end my turn." He says.

That's weird. Dark Necrofear only has 2200 attack points, when Summoned Skull has 2500. Maybe he's waiting to activate his face-down, but it might be better to attack and get rid of it if it is a trap. Yami draws, "Alright, I'll use my face-down card; Dust Tornado to destroy yours!" he says. It was Dark Spirit of the Silent. "Now, Summoned Skull, destroy his Dark Necrofear!"

Bakura has 2300 Life Points, while Yami still hasn't lost a single one. "Get ready, because I activate Destiny Board! This card allows me to add one letter to it during each one of your turns. And once I gather all five letters, I'll win the duel. I'll also play a monster face-down." Bakura says.

I wonder how Yami will get out of this one. Yami draws, "I sacrifice my two monsters in order to summon the Dark Magician! Now, attack his set monster!" he says. It was Goblin Zombie.

"And don't forget Pharaoh, now I can add another letter onto my Destiny Board." Now Bakura has a 'D' and an 'E' on the field. Bakura sets another monster.

"Dark Magician, attack!" The monster was The Portrait's Secret. Now the Destiny Board also has an 'A'.

Bakura sets another monster. Dark Magician destroys it. The Destiny Board has a 'T' now. Bakura does his usual set monster and ends his turn. At the end of Yami's next turn, the Destiny Board will be completed and Yami will lose.

Yami draws, "Looks like your plan has failed Bakura, because I activate De-Spell! And I'll target the 'A' of the Destiny Board, and once it's gone, every other letter will be destroyed!"

"What! No! Curse you!"

"And I won't stop there. I activate Monster Reborn in order to bring back my Summoned Skull! Summoned Skull, attack his set monster, and Dark Magician, attack him directly!"

"No!" Bakura says as his Life Points plummet to zero. Yes! He won!

Yami turns around to face the rest of us, who are all cheering. I walk up to him and hug him, "Nice job." I say.

"Thanks. I expected that duel to last longer though." He says.

"Me too. I was surprised that-"I stop as I look forward.

"What's wrong?"

I lift my hand and point forward, "Bakura's gone." I say.

Everyone goes wide-eyed and starts looking around, "Where do you think he could've gone?" Tea asks.

"I'm not sure. But he'll be back, one way or another." Yami says.

Alright, chapter done! This duel replaced the Mai vs Magnum duel, because the Yami vs Bakura duel was more important to the plot, and the other one was complete unnecessary filler. So, yeah.
