Chapter III:

The Gauntlet is Thrown

I let out a loud cough, hacking like my lungs were trying to come up my throat and escape my body. I blew my nose and let out a whimpering noise as I snuggled into my pillow. I only looked up when I heard the door to my apartment open.

"Amy?!" Yugi called for me.

"Up in the loft, Yugi!" I replied but was rewarded with another coughing fit into my let elbow. I heard his footsteps bound up the stairs and I watched him appear in my line of sight, his eyes full of sympathy when he saw me looking pathetic and dead in bed. "Hi, Yugi," I groaned.

"You don't look so good, Amy," Yugi said, coming up to me and putting his hand on my forehead. "You're burning up!"

I nodded slowly, hoping to not upset my pounding head. "Yeah, I have a fever, a migraine, congestion, and heavy coughing. I'm not gonna be coming to school today."

"Well, I'll let the others know that you aren't coming to school today," he promised. "Do you want me to have Grandpa come check on you during the day?"

"No, that's okay, but thank you for offering," I said. "You should get going to school so that you aren't late. I'll call you later when you are home to give you an update."

"Okay, if you're sure." He opened his backpack and pulled out a CD. "I have a mix of those classical songs that you told me you like. Want me to put it on to help you sleep?"

I gave him a warm smile. "I would love that, Yugi. The stereo is on my long dresser."

He walked over to my white chest dresser and popped the CD into my sleek silver stereo system. He pressed play and the sounds of Mozart filled my place. "I'll see you after school," he told me, pressing a brotherly kiss on my forehead.

I hummed, and my eyes drooped close, my body relaxing and falling asleep to the music.

But, it was not a relaxing sleep.

~%~

The cave was dark and only lit by sparse torches nailed to the walls. I tried to pull my hands in front of me, but I couldn't because of my hands tied behind my back.

A deep, evil laugh filled the cave and I looked in the direction of the laugh, seeing only a dark shadow and not the person's face. It wasn't needed, though. His dark intentions were radiating off him. "Ah, my dear Ana. You've woken up," he said, his voice coming off soothing and charming.

I wasn't having it. "Let me go! I told you that I couldn't see you anymore. It's time for the two of us to grow up," I said plainly, not holding back my anger.

He laughed and took my chin in his hand, holding my face still while he put his head close to mine. I could feel his eyes boring into mine. "You don't get it, do you little Ana?" He released my chin, but then slapped me. "You have no power here. You aren't with Big Brother and your father. Your guards aren't here. You are powerless and are mine to command."

I recoiled at the feel of the slap but glared at him. "You won't get away with this!"

He pushed me down onto the mat I had been resting on, ripping at my skirt and biting my neck.

I screamed as blood leaked from my neck.

"That's my girl," he groaned, pulling away from my neck. "Scream for me." He wrapped his free hand around my neck and began to squeeze, blocking my airways.

I gasped, trying to breathe while I felt something aggressively enter me from my private area. I couldn't scream from the pain, but I did begin to cry from the pain.

He didn't stop. He just kept his aggressive motion and pounded into me while keeping my breathing short and gasp-like. It wasn't long, but it ended with something hot shooting into me and a roar coming from him. He released my throat, allowing me to breath.

I coughed and took deep breaths as he exited me and once again slapped my face. "You bastard," I croaked.

He laughed deeply and brandished a knife from nearby, slashing the skin of my upper arm, making me grunt. "You will be mine, no matter how I have to force you, Ana." He slashed my other arm and the tops of my thighs, blood running from each cut. "We will see how your family will deal with a soiled princess." He didn't slap me but did hit me hard enough to knock me out.

~%~

I screamed and sat up, tears running down my face and my breathing was heavy-which didn't help with my hack coughing. I held onto my chest and my hacking subsided and my breathing slowed. Regaining proper feeling in my chest, I looked down at my hands and blanket, realizing that my nightmare had returned.

I pulled my legs up to my chest and hugged my knees, burying my face between my knees and chest. I took a deep breath and began sobbing.

The nightmare started when I was thirteen, when my parents started feeling comfortable with leaving me with a nanny while they were doing business. Once I was alone and with someone unfamiliar to me, I hadn't had a decent night sleep until I got to Japan, staying with Yugi and Grandpa.

I had forgotten the nightmare, not having had it since I came to Japan. Although, I hadn't been by myself until this day; the one day I was alone. No one was with me in my loft apartment; it was just me. It was partially why I liked being at Yugi's so much. I was never alone with him. I also felt safe with him, never scared for my safety.

"Amy!? I heard you screaming down the hall!" Grandpa called out, entering the apartment and coming up the stairs.

Thank goodness Yugi ignored me and told Grandpa to check on me, I thought to myself as I answered, "Grandpa?" My voice was cracking and high.

He immediately saw me crying on my bed and approached me, wrapping his arm around me. "My dear girl, what's troubling you?"

I lifted my head and tried taking a deep breath, but more tears came so I had to try and speak through my sobbing. "I had a nightmare I have been having since I was thirteen," I sobbed. "I thought they had stopped when I came to Japan, but it came back!"

Grandpa wiped the tears away from left cheek. "Oh, do you want me to call your parents?" he asked, gesturing to the landline phone on the wall.

I shook my head. "They are thrilled that I haven't been having the nightmare! I don't want to worry them."

"Well, I can't leave you here on your own with you so upset," he said. "Come, let's get you back to the Game Shop and we will take care of you."

I sniffled and asked, "Are you sure?"

He smiled and nodded. "Let's get you to across the street."

Luckily, my pajamas were black leggings and a light blue tank top, so I just slipped on my flip flops and grabbed the CD that Yugi had made for me to play while I was at the Game Shop. I got my go-bag and cell phone and followed Grandpa out of my apartment, straight for the Game Shop.

"Up to the guest room, Amy," he said with firm sweetness. "I will get some lunch ready for you."

I smiled at Grandpa. "Thank you for caring, Grandpa," I said softly.

He smiled fondly at me. "Up you go, Sweetie."

I nodded and climbed the stairs for the guest room/my room. I set my go-bag on the desk top, placed the CD into the stereo on the dresser top, kicked my shoes off, and climbed into bed. My body finally calming down from the nasty high of the nightmare, I snuggled under the blanket and fell into a dreamless/nightmare-less sleep.

When I woke up about three hours later, I looked up to see Yugi sitting beside my bed with a wet towel in his hand as he dabbed it on my forehead. "Yugi?" I asked in a whisper.

Yugi smiled brightly and pulled the rag away. "Amy, you're awake. How are you feeling?" he asked.

I sat up and rubbed my right eye, letting out a yawn. "I feel a bit better, but my head still hurts. What time is it?" I asked.

"It's after three, Amy," he told me, dabbing the rag on my forehead again. "You've been sleeping all day. Grandpa has some leek soup shimmering for us to have for dinner."

I smiled. "I like leek soup," I mumbled, my head turning into the pillow.

He chuckled. "I know. I will wake you when it is time for dinner."

I didn't even nod, just falling back to sleep.

About three hours later, I sat up and yawned, stretching my arms up above my head and popping some joints in my back. I let my arms fall to my hands and inhaled, smelling the soup in the kitchen from my room. Feeling a shot of energy from my restful sleep, I folded my blankets off my body and climbed out of bed. I walked over to the door and opened the door, making my way into the hallway and down to the stairs to the kitchen where Yugi and Grandpa were sitting at the table with Joey, who was looking over his deck.

Joey was the first one to notice me. He smiled brightly at me. "Eh, there's our girl!" he greeted me. "How are you feeling?"

Yugi and Grandpa both looked at me and smiled.

I smiled in return. "I feel much better."

"Are you hungry?" Grandpa asked.

I nodded. "I could smell the soup from upstairs."

"Sit down and I will make you a bowl," Grandpa told me.

I sat in the empty chair and looked at Joey, who was back to concentrating on his deck. "What are you doing, Joey?" I asked him.

"Gramps is going to train me to be better at Duel Monsters," he told me.

"How many times did you lose to Tea this time?" I asked with a giggle.

"Five times in a row," Yugi answered for Joey.

"Ah, you really need help then, don't you, Joey?" I accepted the bowl the Grandpa brought to me. "Thank you, Grandpa."

"Eat up and then back to bed for you, Amelia," Grandpa decided. "You may be feeling better now, but you won't be going to school until that fever breaks for 24 hours and you'll be staying here until your parents come home."

I nodded obediently. "Yes, Grandpa," I said, taking a bite of the soup and hummed happily as the warm and flavorful liquid cascaded down my throat into my stomach. "This is delicious!"

My compliment made Grandpa smiled brightly.

Dinner passed quickly with Joey leaving to go home after dinner and Grandpa cleaning up after dinner, sending Yugi and I up to our rooms for Yugi to study and me to go back to bed. I was settling into my bed when Yugi came into my room with a concerned looked on his face.

"Yugi?" I asked.

"Grandpa told me he went to check on you had heard you screaming because of a nightmare," he said. "You've never had nightmares when you are over here."

I sighed. "It's because I…I feel safe here," I admitted softly. "I don't feel save in my own apartment. That's the easy answer for the more complicated story."

"What happens in the nightmare?" Yugi asked innocently, sitting on the side of my bed.

Then came flashes of the knife, the bite, the slaps, and the pain from my lower region; I shuddered and pulled my knees to my chest, burying my face in my knees.

Yugi, being the kind and caring individual he is, wrapped his arm around my shoulders and rubbed my arm with free hand. "You don't have to tell me yet, but I am here for you. No matter what it is, I will help you get through it," he told me.

I sniffed and lifted my head, looking at him. "I had forgotten how horrible it is," I whispered. "Until now, I hadn't had once since I came to live in Japan and I've been staying with you. I don't know what it is, but I feel safe with you and Grandpa; like nothing can hurt me here."

Yugi smiled. "Then I guess you will have to stay here and be my sister, not having any more nightmares," he said brightly.

I giggled and straightened my legs, putting my hands in my lap. "I guess so, though that means you get to share my parents with me," I added.

"No complaints from me!" He chuckled.

We fell into a secret laugh, a bond forming deeper than friendship. And unbeknownst to us, the Millennium Puzzle was glowing between us as this bond was cemented in Fate.

~%~

Weeks passed, and I had returned to school with the others, the bulk of us watching Joey on the sidelines as he trained with Grandpa. It was so weird to see Grandpa being so serious about a game, but this was Duel Monsters and both he and Yugi took the game super seriously.

It was now the night of the Duel Monsters Regional Championship and we were in the living room to watch the broadcast. "Good evening duel fans and our ten million viewers at home, and welcome to the Duel Monsters Duel Dome, where tonight, the Duel Monsters Regional Championship will be decided. Of the two hundred duelists who have competed in this marathon tournament, only two competitors remain standing. Put your cards together for Weevil Underwood, the Bug Brawler. His opponent, the number one ranked, Rex Raptor, Dino Duelist." The announcer said.

"Bug Boy versus Dinosaur Man, what kind of match is that? That should've been me in there!" Joey complained.

"I know you've been training for weeks, but those guys are in another league. You're just not ready yet," Tea told him gently but bluntly.

"Sure, rub it in," Joey pouted, crossing his arms and closing his eyes.

"And on top of that, you're so tired you can't keep your eyes open," Yugi said.

Joey let out a light snore.

"And that just proves our point," I added.

"I think Grandpa's lessons have been a bit too tough for him," Yugi stated.

Flashback!

Joey sat at the table in the kitchen, shuffling his deck with a weak and sleepy motion. Expectedly, his body gave out and he fell forward to rest on the table top with his cards strewn everywhere. "So tired, must rest," Joey muttered.

Yugi and I looked around the corner to see Grandpa approach Joey with a stern look on his face, standing over him with a sword. "You have no time for rest!" He whacked the sword down on the table next to Joey's head, making Yugi and I jump and Joey wake back up. "Did you come here to learn Duel Monsters, or did you come here to catch up on your sleeping"

End Flashback!

"See, it's true what they say- you snooze, you lose," Tristian teased Joey.

Joey woke up and growled.

Grandpa entered the living room with a box on his hands. "Time for your lesson. Oh, and Amelia, your parents are on the phone," he announced.

I squealed and ran from the living room to the store front, picking the phone up off the counter. "This is Amy," I greeted.

"There's my princess' voice." Mom answered, her voice soothing.

"Momma, it's so good to hear from you," I told her, jumping up and down a couple times even though she couldn't see me.

"How have you been, my dear?" she asked. "Mr. Muto called us when you were sick a couple weeks ago and told us you had a nightmare. Amelia, was it the nightmare?"

I sighed. I should have realized that Grandpa would have told my parents about my nightmare, like a responsible adult. "Yes, it was the nightmare," I said honestly. "But, it was only in the flat we had rented out for me to stay in. While in Yugi's house, there are no nightmares; at all."

"I'm glad, my darling. So, you'll be staying with the Muto family, then?" she asked knowingly.

I let out a giggle. "Grandpa basically said just that," I said. "He is a very loving parent to Yugi and treats me the same, as if I am his grandchild by birth."

"Your father and I will have to thank Mr. Muto for his kindness when we get home at the end of the week," she announced slyly.

"Really?! The end of the week?" I asked, squealing.

"Of course, my darling. We are bringing you something back from Egypt," she promised me.

"Momma, you don't have to bring me back anything," I told her. "I just want you both to come back to me safe."

"And we enjoy doting on you, darling," Mom replied. "Now, return to your friends. We will see you on Saturday. We love you, Darling."

"I love you both too, Momma. Give Daddy my love and a kiss," I said.

She made a kiss noise into the phone before we both hung up. I walked back into the living room and caught the tail end of the tournament broadcast. "A stunning upset by Weevil Underwood, our newest champion," the announcer said, the crowd cheering behind his voice.

"Man, King Rex squashed by an insect?" Joey asked, shocked that Weevil actually won the duel.

"And now a very special honor for our new champion, here to present the Duel Monsters championship trophy, the creator of Duel Monsters and the president of Industrial Illusions. Ladies and gentlemen and fellow duelists, I give you Maximillion Pegasus!" The announcer gestured to the middle of the arena, a man coming up from the floor holding a large golden trophy.

"Oh, I've met him before," I said, taking a seat on the couch arm by Yugi.

"Where at?" Tea asked.

"At one of my parents' charity functions for their company," I answered her.

"What's he like?" Tristan asked.

I bit the inside of my cheek before saying, "He's eccentric, that's the best word for him. He wasn't a bad guy, he's just strange."

"Hah! With all the excitement of the championship, you forgot to open your package, Yugi," Grandpa reminded Yugi.

Yugi opened the white box that Grandpa has brought into the living room before. Inside this box was a red glove, two golden stars, and a video tape.

"It's some kind of glove," Tea stated.

"And stars," Joey added.

"Maybe there is an explanation on the video," Tristan chimed in.

"Pop it in," Joey told Yugi, the bunch of us moving to sit on the ground around Yugi.

"Okay," Yugi agreed, pushing the VHS tape into the player and the TV went static for a moment before a video of Pegasus began to play.

"Greetings, little Yugi. I am Maximillion Pegasus," the video spoke directly to Yugi.

"Pegasus?" Joey asked.

"But we just saw him on the TV," Tea stated.

"The famous Maximillion Pegasus sends greetings to my Yugi?" Grandpa asked in a shocked tone.

"I have heard some terribly interesting things about you, Yugi," Pegasus said.

"Huh?" Yugi asked softly, a little confused.

"Your present defeat of Seto Kaiba intrigued me so much, I've decided to investigate your amazing dueling skills personally." Pegasus continued. "Right here, right now, we shall hold a special duel. We'll play with a strict time limit of fifteen minutes and when time's up, the player with the highest life-points will be the winner. Are you ready?"

"Wha-?" Yugi asked.

"He can't expect you to duel against a video tape," Joey chimed in.

"That's crazy!" Tristan added.

The video of Pegasus let out an evil laugh, his hair moving to the side and in his left eye socket was a golden eye that began to glow. "No, it's magic!"

"Huh?!" We all said as the world around us darkened. I grabbed onto Yugi's arm as Tea, Joey, Tristan, and Grandpa froze and faded to the back behind us. The dark magic the pulled them away from us was trying to pull me away as well, but it failed.

"Guys?" I asked aloud to them but didn't get an answer.

"Everything's growing dark and cold and the others aren't moving. What have you done to them? Where have you taken us?" Yugi demanded of Pegasus.

The man on the TV let out another evil laugh. "We're no longer in the world you know. But I will return you... after our game." Pegasus looked to me. "Hmm, it seems that the magic didn't affect you, Miss Amelia Carroll."

Yugi moved his arm out of my grip and placed it in front of me, glaring at Pegasus. "Leave my sister alone, Pegasus!" he almost growled. "It's time to duel!"

Once again, the bright light from the Millennium Puzzle shined and Yugi transformed again. The older Yugi now sat beside me.

He transformed again, I thought to myself. It's almost like he is a completely different person. I decided at this moment to refer to this version of Yugi as 'Other Yugi.'

"Start the clock and make your move, Pegasus," Other Yugi told Pegasus.

"Certainly," Pegasus agreed. "Let's begin."

The VCR timer, thanks to the magic, set at 00:15.00 and began to count down.

"Nervous, Yugi-boy? You should be. You have never faced a duelist like me before," Pegasus taunted.

"You may be good," Other Yugi began to say, but Pegasus interrupted him.

"I assure you, I am."

"But I will beat you to save my friends," Other Yugi finished, his tone confident, as he was about to play his first card.

Pegasus' eye began to glow again. "You won't save anyone with that dragon card."

Other Yugi was shocked. "How?" he asked.

"How did you know what card he had?" I asked, shocked as well.

"I told you, you've never faced anyone like me before. I know every move you'll make. Before you can even make it." Pegasus smirked.

Other Yugi glared at him. It was strange to see a glare on Yugi's face, but this really seemed like a different person.

"Knowing every move you'll make gives me a distinct advantage, wouldn't you say? For example, I can anticipate your next play and counter it with this Dragon Capture Jar."

"Agh!" I put my hands on Other Yugi's shoulders and held him in comfort and support.

Pegasus continued with his rant. "It will draw the Kimori Dragon from your card and imprison the beast. Trapped. Never to be played against me."

"This is crazy," Other Yugi stated. "First he reads my mind, then he brings the monster on my card to life."

"This dark dimension we're in is known as the Shadow Realm, a mystical place where incredible monsters can be summoned and the impossible is quite possible," Pegasus explained.

"But what you're telling us can't be true," I chimed in.

Other Yugi raised his free hand on my left hand in comfort.

Pegasus chuckled. "Tell me, do you believe there is magic in these cards?"

"Don't you know? You invented this game," Other Yugi sassed him.

"What if I told you I didn't?" Pegasus sassed back.

We shared a look before saying, "Huh?!"

"In ancient times, the Egyptians called this the Shadow Game. Powerful fellows would hold mystical duels in other dimensions just as we're doing now. But not with cards, they battled with real monsters and real magic. Magical forces so powerful, the Egyptians lost control of them and nearly destroyed the entire world."

There was a knocking in the back of my mind, as if the explanation from Pegasus was resonating with something in me. His explanation sounded…familiar.

Other Yugi didn't seem to believe him, though. "It's a good story, Pegasus. But these monsters can't be real."

"Tell that to my Dragon Piper as his flute of resurrection frees your Kimori Dragon but puts him under my control." Pegasus played the card he explained and what he said was going to happen happened.

Other Yugi had a creepily intense look on his face, but it was familiar yet not. "I have to counter attack! Silver Fang!"

The Kimori Dragon attacked Silver Fang, flames destroying the wolf and flames came toward us.

I let out a shriek, hiding my face in Other Yugi's back.

"Oh, the heat!" His life-points reduced from 2000 to 1500.

"Hah! As you see, Yugi, these monsters are very real." He let out an evil laugh. "And also quite dangerous." Again, another evil laugh. "Ah, Yugi-boy. You really are quite entertaining- the way you scowl and sneer so defiant and yet helpless. And so completely ignorant of the power of your Millennium Puzzle."

Other Yugi looked down at the puzzle. "What?!"

I peeked out around him and looked at the puzzle.

More explanation came from Pegasus. "Five thousand years ago, a powerful pharaoh locked the power of the Shadow Games away."

"What's this have to do with me?" Other Yugi asked.

"The pharaoh captured these vast magical energies in seven mystical Millennium Items."

"Seven items? You're saying that... Yugi's puzzle's one of them?" I asked.

Pegasus grinned. "Yes, and there are mystical energies locked within it. Magic that could change your life forever... if you only knew how to unleash it."

"But why are you telling me this?" Other Yugi asked.

"Why? Simply because I need you to know. But perhaps I have said too much. And since the clock is still ticking, I propose we resume playing our little duel." Pegasus looked down at his cares.

Other Yugi looked like he was contemplating his move and seemed cautious since Pegasus could somehow see his cards and moves before he even could.

Pegasus was getting a little impatient. "Hurry up now, Yugi-boy. Time is running out for you and your friends. I already know you plan to play the Zombie Warrior, and I'm already prepared to counter it with a trap card that makes even zombies lie down and play dead."

Other Yugi smirked. "Not this time. I figured out your little game, Pegasus. You may be able to see the cards in my hand, but you can't see the cards I pull from the deck."

I smiled at his clever thinking.

Pegasus narrowed his eyes. "Hmmm?"

He drew his card and smirked. "My next card is... the Dark Magician!"

"Whoa, the big, scary Dark Magician," Pegasus said sarcastically.

"Mock me all you like, Pegasus. But my magician will destroy that dragon," Other Yugi shot back.

"Go right ahead, if you think it'll help." Pegasus seemed a little too…apathetic with his move.

"It'll do more than help, Pegasus. It'll bring you closer to defeat and bring me closer to saving my friends."

"If it can do all that, by all means, play it."

Okay, Pegasus' apathetic nature was getting a little, no, VERY irritating. I let out an annoyed growl, which earned me a silent chuckle from Other Yugi.

"Dark Magician!" Dark Magician appeared on playing field.

I smiled down at the little Dark Magician, Yugi's favorite monster.

"Dark Magic Attack!" Other Yugi ordered.

Dark Magician attacked Kimori Dragon, destroying the dragon. Pegasus' life-points reduced from 2000 to 1200.

Pegasus laughed triumphantly. "Nicely played. But by using your Dark Magician, you've let me manipulate you once again."

Other Yugi looked confused. "Huh?"

Pegasus continued. "By playing that one card, you have ensured my victory."

"No!" Other Yugi protested.

"We shall see, Yugi. Oh, a very rare card. This is the fearsome Faceless Mage." He showed us the monster's card.

"I've never seen that card before. But my Dark Magician is one of the strongest magic cards in the game," Other Yugi stated.

"But how will he fare once I combine my Faceless Mage with the, equally rare, Eye of Illusion?" Pegasus played his cards.

"Dark Magician, Dark Magic Attack!"

The Dark Magician attacked, but the Faceless Mage was unaffected by the attack with the Eye of Illusion protecting it.

"My attack had no effect at all!" Other Yugi was shocked.

Pegasus laughed.

"His Faceless Mage should've been destroyed, but it's still standing and I'm running out of time."

I bit my lip and looked at the VCR timer, which read 00:05.00.

Other Yugi played a card and the Celtic Guardian appeared on playing field. "This mighty warrior will cut your Faceless Mage down to size."

"True, your elf is mighty. But you have once again underestimated the incredible power of my Eye of Illusion!" Pegasus laughed.

"No!" he protested.

"Dark Magic Attack!" Pegasus said.

The Celtic Guardian shatters, Other Yugi's life-points are reduced from 1500 to 0400.

"Well, Yugi, our time together is nearly up, and as I have more life-points than you, it appears I am the victor." Pegasus was so confident that he was going to win.

The VCR clock now read 0:00.05.

"Time's not up yet, Pegasus. And you've left your Faceless Mage vulnerable to a physical assault." Other Yugi held up Summoned Skull.

Pegasus grunted.

"Summoned Skull, attack!" Other Yugi said.

I watched the VCR clock which now read 0:00.02. Summoned Skull appeared on the playing field. The clock read 0:00.01 and then 0:00.00 just as Summoned Skull attacked but froze because the time was out.

Pegasus grinned. "Well, we've run out of time. But how close was that? If you had been able to complete that attack, I would have lost. But I didn't, did I? I have taken the measure of your talents this day, Yugi Muto. And when next we duel, we shall play for far higher stakes."

"I'm done with your games," Other Yugi refused.

Pegasus shook his finger at us. "You presume I'm giving you a choice in the matter. But..." He lifted hair aside to reveal his golden eye. "I'm not, for I too possess one of the seven Millennium Items- the all-powerful Millennium Eye!"

"A Millennium Eye?" I asked with Other Yugi.

"That's right, Yugi-boy, Amy-girl. And now I'll show you the true extent of its magic. You see, I have found that- given the proper incentive, anyone can be made to play my game." The Millennium Eye glowed and I screamed as Grandpa's soul was pulled from his body and into the TV.

"Grandpa?!" I shouted.

Grandpa called to us from the television screen "Yugi! Amy!"

Other Yugi morphed back into Yugi and he grabbed at the TV. "Grandpa!" he cried out.

The video of Pegasus faded, but he said one last thing. "Yes, we will duel again, Yugi. How else will you reclaim your grandfather's soul?"

The darkness faded and we all returned to the world we knew. Our friends were freed, but Grandpa's now soulless body fell to the floor.

"Grandpa! Grandpa! Grandpaaaaaa!" Yugi and I screamed at the TV.

OKAY! Chapter III is done, and we will be heading to Duelist Kingdom next chapter. Yes, Amelia is having nightmares about a rape. She has a very dark past connected to the Millennium Items and such. More will be revealed as the story goes on. See you guys next week!
