Author: Ok. I think I could've made the story a lot better if I didn't put Dartz in the story and the other characters, but I'm going to work hard and hopefully you readers will understand.

Chapter 13: Battle: A Dark Secret

In an island faraway, was a temple. Inside the temple, there were huge statues of snakes at the top and every touch was lit. At the end of the temple was another huge statue that huge eyes and three snakes at the bottom. There were tablets of people in them on the huge statue. A man wearing white clothes, long blue hair, a green eye color on the right and a gold eye color on the left. He lifted his hands up in the air to the huge statue with the big eyes.

"Great Leviathan," said Dartz, "I have returned with great news. Little Yugi is facing Tea and one of them will lose their soul. Hopefully will be getting the soul we want. Its been a long time since I came back…"

Dartz took out an item from his back and held it in front of him. It was black rod that had a Millennium symbol on the top and had spiky point on the side of the Millennium symbol. It was a Millennium Item, but a black version! Just then, a dark figure appeared from the shadows. His hair was standing up just like Yugi's hair, but his hair color was black. He was smiling at Dartz.

"You know the reason why you exist," said Aeru, "You exist because of the Dark Millennium Items. You are not complete as you were back then when you faced the pharaoh. Remember, I gave you rebirth and created a Dark Millennium Item for you."

"Don't you think I already know that," asked Dartz, "In order for me to be complete, I must get the pharaohs soul and his puzzle. I'm just a shadow. But soon, when the pharaoh loses and his soul is taken to Leviathan, I will once again come back stronger than ever!"

Aeru smiled, but he knew his stupid younger brother wouldn't lose to Dartz and he knew that Dartz's plan wouldn't work. Plus, Yugi and the pharaoh were taking the other bait also.

Back in Duelist Kingdom…

"Tea," yelled Yugi, "Stop now! You know that you'll lose your soul!"

"Shut up," yelled Tea, "I know what will happen to me, but you worry about yourself!"

Yugi couldn't believe this. His best friend had join Dartz just to get angry with him. Why couldn't she just go up to him like every normal person? Yugi then looked back at Rafael. For some reason…Yugi had a feeling that person wasn't Rafael. Strange. Yami appeared next to him and wondered what he was doing.

'Yugi,' said Yami, 'what is it? Something wrong about Rafael?"

'Yeah,' said Yugi, 'I have a feeling that person isn't Rafael…'

'What do you mean,' asked Yami, 'that is Rafael. How can that be Rafael if he is not Rafael?'

'I guess so,' said Yugi confused, 'well…here it goes Yami.'

Yami disappeared and Tea was getting angry. She knew whom Yugi was talking to and she was getting annoyed.

"Hurry up," yelled Tea, "Lets duel!"

"Fine," yelled back Yugi, "Lets duel!"

Both of their dueling-disk was activated and their Life Points were 8000. Tea drew six cards and so did Yugi. Tea stared at her hand and smiled.

Tea's Hand:

Dark Magician Girl-Level: 6 Atk/200 Def/1700 (Effect) Dark/Spellcaster

Sage's Stone-Magic Card

Maha Vailo-Level: 4 Atk/1550 Def/1400 (Effect) Light/Spellcaster

Waboku-Trap Card

Dark Magician-Level: 7 Atk/2500 Def/2100 (No Effect) Dark/Spellcaster

Mirror Force-Trap Card

Yugi's Hand:

Blaze the Fire Knight-East-Level: 6 Atk/2450 Def/2000 (Effect) Fire/Warrior

Monster Reborn-Magic Card

Mirror Force-Trap Card

Temple of Blaze-Field Magic Card

Big Shield Gardna-Level: 4 Atk/100 Def/2600 (Effect) Earth/Warrior

Change of Heart-Magic Card

"I'll start this off," said Tea laughing a little, "I set two cards face-down and play Maha Vailo! In attack mode!" Two cards appeared facedown on Tea's side of the field and a monster appeared.

Maha Vailo-Atk/1550 Def/1400

"That ends my turn Yugi," said Tea.

"Fine," said Yugi, "Here it goes! I play one card face-down and play the magic card…Temple of Blaze!"

The field was on fire and the duelists were in a field surround by volcanoes and there was temple that had a statue of a knight on Yugi's side of the field.

"This is card raises all fire or pyro monsters on my side of the field," explained Yugi, "But that's not all. Because I play the magic card, Change of Heart! This card allows me to-"

"Take control of one of my monsters," said Tea angry, "I might not be a good duelist Yugi, but I know some of the cards already. DUH!"

"Fine," said Yugi keeping his calm, "I'll take control of your Maha Vailo. After that, I'll sacrifice it to bring forth, Blaze! The Fire Knight of the East!"

Tea's monster was destroyed and was replaced with Blaze the Fire Knight. The Knight was covered in a red armor. He also had a red helmet on his head and was holding a sword that was burning brightly.

Blaze-Atk/2450 Def/2000

"And," said Yugi smiling a little, "Blaze gets a 100 attack boost for ever fire monster on the field. And Blaze is a fire type monster."

Blaze-Atk/2550 Def/2000

"And another 700 attack and defense boost because of Temple of Blaze," said Yugi explaining the field card's effect.

Blaze-Atk/3250 Def/2700

"Now Blaze," ordered Yugi, "Attack Tea's Life Points…I'm sorry Tea, but it's the only way to make you understand."

Blaze attacked Tea's Life Points, but before Blaze could hit Tea, Tea activated her facedown cards.

"I activate Waboku," said Tea flipping her facedown card. Three females appeared and protected Tea's Life Points and Tea continued, "Just in case if your about to say something, I already know. Temple of Blaze protects Blaze the Fire Knight from Trap, Magic, and Monster effect cards. But Waboku is not affecting your monster. So my trap card can't be negated by your field cards special ability."

'Great,' thought Yugi, 'If I don't do something before Tea plays the Seal of Orichalcos.'

"I end my turn," said Yugi.

"Good," said Tea nodding, "My move!"

Tea drew the magic card, Graceful Charity. Tea played the magic card and the card appeared on the field in holographic mode.

"This card allows me to draw three cards, but after that, I got to get rid of two cards," said Tea drawing three cards.

Tea drew three cards and received: The Seal of the Orichaclos, Neo the Magic Swordsman, and Spirit of the Harp. Tea then looked at her hand and wondered what she will send to the graveyard. She discarded Spirit of the Harp and Neo the Magic Swordsman. She then gave out a smile and a laugh. Yugi was hoping Tea didn't draw it, but his fear has come true. Tea showed Yugi the magic card, The Seal of Orichaclos.

"Looks like I drew the card I want," said Tea smiling, "Now you will feel my pain, lose everything you hold dear and you will never come back!"

"Tea! Please don't play it," begged Yugi, "Tea! I know what I did to you was horrible. But you got to listen to me! Serenity may have have wentin my room, told me how much she cares about me, and kissed me! But I told Serenity that I was in love with a different girl! That girl was you! Tea Gardner!"

Joey, Duke, and Tristan gave out an express. They stared at Serenity and Serenity started to blush. She knew she was going to get one heck of a yell from Joey. Joey got a little angry, but he knew this wasn't the best time…yet.

"Serenity," said Joey crossing his arms, but watching the duel, "You have a lot of explaining to do…"

"Joey," said Yugi still dueling, "Don't be too hard on her. It wasn't her fault. I'll tell you everything once I stop and save Tea. Ok?"

"Alrigh'. I guess so," said Joey, "But I'm not lettin' the fact go tha' Serenity went in ya room!"

"Sure," said Yugi smiling a little. Yugi then focused back to the duel and tired to get Tea to understand, "Anyways. Please Tea. Don't play that magic card. Please Tea."

"I'm sorry Yugi," said Tea, "But it's the only to get rid of my pain. Plus, how I'm I supposed to believe that you love me if you and Serenity were nearly making out?"

Joey, Duke, and Tristan started to get really angry. Their faces turn red and they started to clinch their fists. Duke, Tristan, and Joey all turned their faces to Serenity and Serenity blushes deep crimson red.

"It…as…uh…a misunderstanding…hahaha," said Serenity getting embarrassed, "Plus we didn't…uh…go that far…we…were just…kissing…"

Yugi also went deep red, but the got over it. He tried to find another to make Tea understand.

"But Tea," said Yugi, "Were friends. Please don't play that magic card. Even if you win…will it solve anything? Your getting rid of me…if you get rid of…you won't see me…not ever…Tea…Serenity said you were lucky to have someone like me. She wished she had me first…but we knew each other longer…we were best friends when we were kids…you protected me also when we first met Joey and Tristan…You believed in Yami and me every time we dueled an evil manic. So please Tea. Don't do it. Don't play that magic card. Tea…I don't want to lose you…I love you…"

Tea stared at Yugi. Tea knew that Yugi wasn't lying. She could tell from his eyes. Those innocence eyes of his. Tea had a little tear in her eye and tear ran down across her cheek. She was about to put the Seal of Orichaclos back to her hand. However, someone wouldn't allow that.

Back at Dartz's Island…

Dartz took out the Dark Millennium Rod and aimed it at the top. He was not going to allow Tea to give up.

"Oh no you don't you little girl," said Dartz, "You are simply giving up too soon. I think I should take control from now on."

There was a bright glow from the rod and the rod shined so brightly that Dartz had to close his eyes. But Aeru didn't have to. The light died out and Dartz put the rod away.

Back at Duelist Kingdom…

Tea couldn't control her left hand that was holding the Seal of Orichaclos magic card. She then closed her eyes and felt something sting her like a thousand needles. It hurt her really badly and she kneeled on the ground. Yugi was wondering what was wrong with her, but Tea raised her hand to stop Yugi from getting closer to her. Her hair was down and she slowly got back up. Rafael gave out a smile, but then his eyes started to turn red. Ryou saw this, but before he could get a good look, Rafael closed his eyes and covered his eyes with his right hand. After a while, Rafael put his hands down, his eyes were back to normal,and watched the duel between Tea and Yugi. Ryou had a feeling. A feeling that there was a dark presence. It wasn't Tea, but for some reason…it was coming from Rafael. Yami Bakura appeared next to him and wondered what his weak light side was doing.

(Yes. Yami Bakura is doing the same thing what Yami and Yugi do.)

'What is it Ryou," said Bakura crossing his hands giving a dark look, 'You feel that darkness?'

'Well…yeah really mate,' said Ryou getting a bit scared from his dark side, 'I have a feeling its coming from that person over their champ…'

'Oh would you stop with the stupid British accent,' yelled Bakura, "Its getting annoying!"

Ryou remain silent avoiding making his dark side really angry.

"Tea," asked Yugi, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine my little Yugi," said Tea with a dark voice. Her hair was still down, she looked at Yugi and Yugi then saw that Tea had no life in her eyes. This reminded him what happen to her back then.

:Flashback:

"Alright pharaoh," said Tea holding a handcuff, "You and Wheeler will be locked up and above you is a anchor and in 20 minutes. If there is no winner, both you and Wheeler will be dragged down to the bottom of the sea."

"Marik," yelled Yami, "Release Tea now!"

"Sorry pharaoh," said Tea, "But I can't do that. And just to make sure you or your friends don't do anything funny. Tea will sit down locked up with a huge crate above her head. One of Rare Hunters is at the machines as we speak holding a remote control. If your friends get any closer to Tea, my Rare Hunter will drop the Crate and Tea will be smashed. Now. Its time to duel Pharaoh."

Tea then all of a sudden fell unconscious and Marik took control of Wheeler and both duelists started their Life Points at 4000.

:End of Flashback:

"Tea," asked Yugi, "Why do you have a scary voice?"

"I think I should explain that mates," said a voice. Everyone looked around where that voice was coming from and they couldn't believe whom they just saw, especially Joey. He appeared from the shadows next to Rafael. He had brown hair, his eyes were blue, he had goggles on his head, he was wearing some kind brown armor on him, he was wearing black jeans (I'm not really sure if there black), and black shoes. He gave out a smile and waved his hands at the gang. When he spoke, he had a bit of a British accent just like Ryou.

"Good to see you mates," said the brown haired duelist, "Especially you Wheeler. Hope you remembered me."

"Valon," said Joey, "Nice to see you to…I think…"

"Its good to be back," said Valon laughing, "Hope you don't mind if I join the fun mate."

"Wha' do ya mean 'Good to be back'," asked Joey, "I don' get it…"

"You'll soon understand Wheeler," said Valon, "But not now. So…who's winning?"

Author: Really long chapter, huh folks? Make a review if you want some of the chapters long or not. But hoped you liked it though. And yet again, I don't think I did the flashback right, when Yugi/Yami faces Joey in the battle city seasons. Reviews please!
