To all my readers-Hey! What's up? How's the new year going for you? On my end, its getting there. Why? Because I have a particular reader who I feel is rushing me to get any of my fanfiction done and no, its not that particular guest reader who wanted about a certain fandom. Its someone who has an account that starting to pressure me. Dont worry, I've handled it and I hope that this particular user who has the account understands that no matter how many times you promise me that you'll be patient, I will always feel that you will go back on your word. Its why I always tell my readers not to rush me or the chapters will get messed up when I upload them.

If anyone, and I mean anyone tries to rush me while writing this fanfic or any of my other fanfics, all written chapters will be delayed for a week. No exceptions. Leave a positive review and Happy Reading!

I DONT OWN YUGIOH AT ALL! I ONLY OWN THE OC AND HER DUELING DECK!

Shoutouts:

"Bakura!" Joey called out. "Hey, Bakura, are you still up there?"

"Yes. I'm with Mokuba." he said to Joey. "He's coming around."

"Huh?" Mokuba groaned as he opens his eyes and looks up. "Bakura?"

"Is he okay?" asked Tea as she, Joey and Tristan ran over to Bakura.

"Yes, Mokuba's fine." said Bakura.

"Great." panted Joey. "So his soul's back in his body, huh?"

"That's a relief." added Tea.

"So he's really all right?" asked Yugi as he and Paige caught up with their friends.

"He's fine." Tea tells him.

"Fantastic!" said Paige.

"Who would believe Pegasus would keep his word?" Tristan asked.

"Yeah. Go figure." said Yugi, then turns to the youngest Kaiba. "So, how're you doing, Mokuba? You feeling up to getting off this island?"

"Not without Seto." said Mokuba, not wanting to leave his brother behind. "Where's my big brother?"

"He's somewhere in this castle." said Yugi. "We'll find him. I bet he already knows you're safe." Down in the dungeons, Kaiba was waking up in the cell from having his soul return to his body.

"Gotta…find….Mokuba." Kaiba said, weakly lifting up his head.

"Yugi. Joey." said Croquet, gaining their attention.

"Croquet." Yugi said, coolly.

"Due to his illness, Mr. Pegasus will be unable to attend." replied Croquet. Yugi and Paige gasped at this.

"Ya ask me, it's just a lame excuse to avoid payin' off on the prizes!" commented Joey.

"All prizes are still to be awarded." said Croquet. "Yugi has already received his agreed upon reward of 3 freed souls. But…in addition, there's this."

"So thanks a lot for putting in your two cents, Joey." said Paige.

"Forgiveness!" said Joey, kneeling before her.

"Huh?" said Yugi as they see a unique card. "What is it?"

"It's a card called the Ties of Friendship." said Croquet. "It's the only one of its kind, hand painted by Pegasus himself."

"And not put into circulation." said Paige. "Good man."

"I was instructed to deliver it personally to Yugi Muto." Croquet said as Yugi takes the card. "You are now, officially, king of games."

"Way to go, King Spiky." said Paige, hugging her brother. Croquet reaches into his jacket pocket and pulls out a check.

"This contains a check for the prize money won by Yugi in his duel with Joey Wheeler." he said, handing it to Yugi.

"It's all yours, Joey, just like I promised." said Yugi, receiving a smile from the blond.

"You're the best, Yuge. You and Paige both." said Joey, taking the check.

"3,000,000 dollars, Joey." said Tea.

"For your sister's operation." said Tristan.

"Yeah…" said Joey, beaming. "We've been apart for so long, but now I can save her from goin' blind."

"That's great, Joey." said Yugi.

"Yeah, you bet it is." said Joey.

"I can't wait to meet her, Joey." said Paige.

"Now…we'd like you all to leave." said Croquet.

"Tell him to feel better soon." said Paige. "And get him to a doctor. Who knows how long that Millenium Eye has been inside his skull."

"I'll take care of it." said Croquet, leaving them in the wings.

"Yugi! Paige! I just realized, if Mokuba's soul has been returned, then maybe…" said Tea.

"Yeah!" Yugi said. "It should mean that Grandpa is recovering, too!"

"Grandpa's coming home." said Paige.

"We can't wait to get him out of that hospital." said brother and sister.

"Uhh…" groaned Grandpa as he opens his eyes. "Yugi, Paige, you saved me."

"Seto!" Mokuba called out as the sun sets around Pegasus' castle. "Big Brother! Seto! It's me, Mokuba!"

"When we get home, I'm taking the hottest bath and sleeping for as long as possible." said Paige. "I never want to camp out again unless we're with Grandpa himself."

"That's after he recovers though, right?" asked Tea.

"You think I wasn't going to let him recover first? Ha!" said Paige, giving her friend a pointed look. "Tea, you're crazy."

"Where are you?" Mokuba continued to call out.

"The castle's huge." said Yugi. "Kaiba could be almost any…" The doors opened in front of them. "Hey!"

"Huh?" asked Mokuba, looking up to see Kaiba in front of them. "It's him!"

Everyone gasped as they see Kaiba smiling at them. "Big Brother!" cried Mokuba as he ran towards Kaiba, hugging him. "You're here! You're here!"

"It's all right." said Kaiba, comforting his little brother.

"Come on!" said Joey, smiling at the reunion. "Let's not get all mushy and gooey, you know? I can't take it."

"Joey…don't ruin the moment for them." Paige scolded him.

"Oh, Seto, I didn't know what happened to you." said Mokuba as Kaiba looks into his eyes. "But I never stopped thinking of you, big brother."

"I know." said Kaiba. "I would have risked anything to save you, Mokuba."

"Yugi and Paige told me you risked a lot. And now we're together again, Seto." Mokuba tells him.

"So Whaddaya say, little brother?" Kaiba asked. "Ready for me to take you back home where we both belong?"

"You bet!" said Mokuba.

"Thank you, Yugi and Paige." said Kaiba. "Thanks for saving my brother Mokuba's soul. He means everything to me."

"How could we do anything else?" asked Yugi.

"And I am grateful, but because of our circumstances, our last duel was really not conclusive." said Kaiba.

"Yes, you're right." said Yugi.

"One day, we will meet in the arena again to decide which of us is truly the better duelist, and one of us will walk away with pride." Kaiba said to Yugi.

"Hmm." Yugi said, nodding in agreement

"Kaiba, at some point in the future, I would like to strike a business deal with you." said Paige. "On behalf of me, Yugi and our grandfather."

"When the time comes, I would be honored to hear your business deal." said Kaiba. "Come on, Mokuba. Let's go. My copter's waiting."

"All right! We're going home." said Mokuba, following his brother out.

"You did it!" Yami said to Yugi and Paige. "You've saved everyone, Yugi."

"We both did, and we don't even know your name." said Yugi.

"I've been called many things through the ages." Yami said. "Pharaoh, Yugioh. I've been known as Yami."

"Well, Yami, I'm proud to call you my friend." said Yugi.

"And I'm proud to call you my second older brother." said Paige. "You're family now, Yami and Grandpa would be proud of you for being here with us."

"She's right about that." said Yugi as Yami had tears in his eyes.

"Good, because I'm proud to be one to both of you." said Yami as they looked at their friends.

"Oh! I just thought of something." said Joey, then starts to freak out. "All the boats have left. So how are we supposed to get off this island?"

"AAH!" screamed Tristan.

"We gotta hitch a ride. Come on!" Joey said to the others.

"Wait for us, Kaiba!" shouted Tristan.

"And us, too!" said Yugi and Paige, chasing after Joey and Tristan with Tea close behind.

"Yugi has the championship, Joey has the money, but I hold the real prize, the millennium eye." thought Bakura as he looks down at the millennium eye in his hand. "And soon, Yugi's millenium puzzle, as well." Once everyone was back home, they headed to the hospital to check in on Grandpa.

"What's the matter, Yugi? Paige?" asked Grandpa, already up and walking around. "You're not surprised to see me up and about, are you?"

"Oh! Grandpa!" whispered Yugi and Paige as their grandpa chuckled.

"Hey Grandpa!" said Yugi as both grandchildren ran to him, smiling and laughing as they hugged him. "You're okay!"

"Yes, my boy!" said Grandpa.

"We have so much to tell you!" said Paige.

"You do, huh?" he said as she nodded.

"We've missed you." Yugi said, as he and Paige looked up at their grandfather. "Ready to go home?"

"Mm-hmm." Grandpa said, nodding. "So, you saved me and became champion of the duelist kingdom, Yugi?"

"I didn't do it alone, Grandpa, everyone helped." said Yugi.

"That's right, everybody pitched in." said Joey. "But he couldn't have done it without me!"

"Even Paige?" questioned Grandpa.

"Yes, Grandpa, even me." said Paige, rolling her eyes.

"Well, then you've obviously improved since I last saw you duel." Grandpa said to Joey.

"Uh, not that much." said Tristan.

"A little." said Tea and Paige.

"A lot!" said Joey.

"Grandpa, maybe you should go home and rest." said Yugi. "You did just get out of the hospital, you know."

"Don't be silly. I feel great!" said Grandpa, proving to his grandchildren that he was fine. "1, 2, 3, 4….1, 2….ohh!"

"Grandpa!" shouted Yugi.

"Are you okay, Mr. Muto?" Tristan asked.

"Just a little stiff, that's all." he replied.

"Well, as the youngest of this family, I have a say in this. So….I have a compromise for the both of you." said Paige, standing in between her brother and grandfather, separating them. "Yes, I do agree that Grandpa should go home and rest, but he should also take it easy when moving around. And I'm talking about lifting things that are more than me and Yugi's combined weight, Grandpa."

"Hmm." said Yugi and Grandpa.

"If Grandpa gets tired, then Grandpa should listen to what his body is telling him and not overdo it. Otherwise, your youngest grandchild will not be making her famous desserts for her only grandfather and brother." said Paige.

"I can live with that compromise." said Grandpa, knowing that she was right.

"Me too." said Yugi, smiling at his sister.

"Good, cause I don't want to stop making your favorite desserts." said Paige, looking at both of them.

"Does that include me?" asked Joey.

"Who do you think she has to taste test those new recipes?" Tea asked Joey, causing the blond boy to grin widely.

"Hey!" shouted a little girl who was standing in front of the shop.

"Huh?"

"I've got something to say to you!" she said. "That is if you're who I think you are!"

"What in the world?" asked Yugi.

"She's angry about something." said Paige.

"Hmm!" said the girl.

"Who is that?" asked Joey. "You guys know her?"

"No. She's way too young to be in my class." said Paige as the girl drags her luggage behind her as she carried a stuff toy.

"Hello." Grandpa said to her.

"Tell me, is your name Solomon Muto?" she questioned.

"That's right." replied Grandpa. "And who might you be?"

"Who might I be? I might be Rebecca." she said, introducing herself. "And I might have just arrived here in town. And I might've been waiting for you to show up! It's not nice to keep a lady waiting, you know."

"Lady?" asked Yugi, chuckling a bit until Rebecca got into his face.

"That's right!" she said. "Are you saying I'm not a lady, buster?!"

"I'm not saying that." said Yugi, trying to defend himself.

"I don't know about these two crazies," said Paige, gesturing to Tristan and Joey before moving onto Tea and her family. "but my grandfather, brother, my best friend and myself were raised better than that."

"Wait a minute." said Joey. "What's a little squirt like you doin' travelin' all by herself anyway? That's dangerous."

"Oh, yeah? Well, I can take care of myself, and if not, I've got Teddy to protect me." said Rebecca, then turns to the bear in her hands. "Isn't that right, Teddy?"

"She talks to the bear?" asked Joey, weirded out.

"Rebecca, wait." said Grandpa. "What exactly is it you want from me?"

"My card back!" said Rebecca.

"Beg your pardon?" Grandpa asked.

"What card?" asked Paige.

"You've got my Blue Eyes White Dragon, now give it to me!" Rebecca demanded, holding out her hand.

"Huh?" they all said, confused by this.

"Listen, you heard what I said." Rebecca tells them. "I want my Blue Eyes back right now!"

"Yeah….about that." said Paige.

"There's a slight problem." said Tea.

"Uh…." the others said, trying to figure out how to tell Rebecca what happened.

"The Blue Eyes White Dragon is an ultra-rare and powerful card that only belongs in the deck of a true champion." said Rebecca. "I, Rebecca, am a true champion. I've travelled the world and beaten many top duelists while you were away. Isn't that right, Teddy?"

"You've beaten top duelists around the world?" asked Grandpa.

"And yet you came here for the Blue Eyes White Dragon?" asked Paige.

"Yep! I daresay I'm the number one duelist in America." said Rebecca.

"Aren't you a little young?" asked Tea.

"I'm 8." she said.

"Yeah, inches tall." said Joey.

"You really shouldn't tell lies, little girl." said Tristan.

"Wait!" said Yugi. "It may not be a lie. I remember reading something. An article, just before we left for the duelist kingdom about a duel monsters prodigy."

"That was her?" asked Paige, confused as she looks at her brother. "I don't remember reading that article."

"I do. She was causing a major sensation." said Yugi as Rebecca nodded.

"No way!" said Joey. "You're not telling me this little pipsqueak's really the national champion, are you? Get real, Yuge."

"What's the deal?" Rebecca asked Joey. "Are you questioning my dueling credentials, pal?"

"Hey, don't give me any lip!" Joey tells her. "I got credentials, too. Second in the duelist kingdom tournament."

"That's true, but on the other hand, you probably don't know how to spell 'credentials'." said Tristan.

"Knock it off." said Joey, getting in his space. "You were supposed to be on my side."

"Oh, I know all about that." said Rebecca. "First place in the duelist kingdom went to Yugi Muto, and second place went to Joey Wheeler."

"Hmm." Joey said, smugly.

"But who cares who came in second?" asked Rebecca. "It's always first place that really matters." While hugging her bear, Tristan grabs Joey to prevent him from hurting Rebecca. "Isn't that right, Teddy?"

"Let me at her!" Joey shouted. "I'll show her who matters!"

"That's it! I'm rescinding your title as my taste tester." said Paige.

"Ah! I'll be good, I'll be good." said Joey, finally calming down.

"But, Rebecca, I'm confused." said Grandpa. "Why do you think your championship entitles you to my Blue Eyes White Dragon Card?"

"No, I don't think that. The Blue Eyes White Dragon Card should be mine because you stole it from me." Rebecca tells him.

"Just wait a minute." said Yugi. "No way! Our grandfather?! He'd never steal."

"Rebecca, the only thing our grandfather will steal is when I make his favorite cookies behind my back." said Paige, causing Solomon to blush in embarrassment. "And that's only after I take them out of the oven."

"Yeah, other than that, he wouldn't steal anything." said Yugi.

"Well, there are only 4 Blue Eyes White Dragon cards in the world." said Rebecca, staring Grandpa down hard. "Kaiba's got 3 and my card is missing!"

"What is with you, kid?!" asked Joey as the others gasped. "You're not makin' any sense here."

"That Blue Eyes White Dragon is mine, and if you won't give it back to me, then I demand the right to duel for it." said Rebecca.

"Rebecca, you don't understand." Yugi tried to explain to her.

"Oh, yes, I do." she said as Yugi sighs. "Your gramps is scared. He's just afraid to duel with me."

"No, no. He's not afraid to duel you, Rebecca." said Yugi. "Its just that that card, its…" He then looks over at his sister for help. "Well, uh…."

"You see, the card is….uh…." said Paige.

"I've heard enough of your excuses!" shouted Rebecca.

"Huh?"

"Duel me, old man. Now!" Rebecca demanded.

"Hey! Watch the attitude!" said Paige, raising her voice.

"What did you say?" screamed Rebecca.

"You heard me! Watch the attitude!" shouted Paige.

"You can't tell me what to do!" screeched Rebecca, then points to grandpa. "Listen. Solomon Muto, if I win this duel, you give that Blue Eyes White Dragon to me."

"What does it take to penetrate that thick skull of yours?" asked Joey.

"To the arena!" said Rebecca, then started to speak through Teddy. "I will eat you alive! Grr."

Outside of the arena, people were walking around. "Look, it's a Blue Eyes!" a boy said to his dad. "A real one!"

"Its just a statue, son." said his father.

"Hey! All right!" said a boy, inside the arena after winning his duel. "I win again. I love Kaibaland, sis."

"So, can you help us, Mokuba?" Yugi asked the youngest Kaiba.

"You're asking a lot, Yugi." he said, crossing his arms. "You know, Kaibaland's duel rings are booked solid for the next three months. But of course, we do owe you big time."

"Thanks, Mokuba." said Yugi.

"Have your brother call me when he wants to sell something in our game shop." said Paige with Grandpa nodding his approval. Suddenly, Rebecca made her way through the group, pushing Paige and Joey aside.

"Well? So what are we all waiting for?" asked Rebecca. "Lets get this duel on the road!"

"I'll take your offer to Seto." said Mokuba, blinking at Rebecca.

"Nice arena." said Rebecca as they entered an empty arena. "A little small, though. Hmm. Ok, Mr. Muto, are you ready to duel?"

"Mm." Grandpa said, nodding.

"But, Grandpa…." said Yugi and Paige.

"Relax, you two. I'll be fine." said Grandpa.

"I don't know." said Yugi.

"What is this?" Rebecca asked, getting impatient. "Are we going to duel or settle in for an afternoon nap?"

"He cant duel you." Yugi said to Rebecca. "I'll face you instead."

"But, Yugi…" said Tea.

"No, Tea. He needs to do this." said Paige.

"Grandpa was just released from the hospital this morning." Yugi explained to Rebecca. "He's in no condition to be dueling, Rebecca."

"Okay, that's even better." she replied. "Rebecca, the national champion vs Yugi Muto, winner of the Duelist Kingdom, in a clash of titans. Of course, it's still ordinary him against genius me, so he doesn't stand a chance of winning, does he, Teddy?"

"Mm…not a chance! Grr." said Teddy.

"Oh, I cant tell if she's just stuck on herself or totally nuts." said Joey.

"Or maybe both." said Yugi as Paige nodded. "You guys watch from here."

"Be very careful, Yugi." suggested Grandpa. "She is strange, but smart."

"Lets duel." said Yugi and Rebecca as the dueling arena was activated.

"I'll be surprised if he lets Yami be in this duel." said Paige.

"I wouldn't bet on that." said Grandpa.

"Oh, Yugi…sure you want to go through with this?" questioned Rebecca.

"I'm sure." said Yugi.

"Okay, but it be a lot easier just to give me the Blue Eyes White Dragon." Rebecca tells him. "You're up against a genius, you know." She then hugs Teddy again. "Oh, Teddy, isn't that right?"

"Yup. Yup. You're a genius, Rebecca. Grr." said Teddy.

"Uhh." groaned Yugi.

"Now lets get down to it." said Rebecca.

"Who on earth is this young lady, and why does she think I stole her Blue Eyes White Dragon?" Grandpa asked himself.

"Its your turn." said Yugi.

"For my first brilliant move, Witch of the Black Forest in attack mode." said Rebecca. "All right, lets see what you're worth, Witchy Woman." Witch of the Black Forest (ATT:1100/ DEF:1200) appears on the field, laughing at Yugi.

"Huh." said Grandpa, remembering a duel and his opponent had played this card. "An unusual opening gambit."

"What's she up to?" thought Yugi. "Witch of the Black Forest isn't really that strong of a card at all. Hmm. Why would she play that?"

"He thinks very slowly, Teddy." Rebecca said to her bear. "Do you suppose he'll ever play a card?"

"I'll play, Rebecca." said Yugi, placing Celtic Guardian. "The Celtic Guardian, in attack mode! Celtic Guardian, attack the Witch!"

Celtic Guardian roared as he swings his sword at Witch of the Black Forest, causing her to scream in pain as she was sent to the graveyard. "So much for your Black Forest Witch!" said Yugi as Rebecca's life points dropped to 1,700.

"Wah!" Rebecca cried out. "That mean old Yugi sent my worthless Witch to the graveyard. Oh, what do I do? Huh? What did you say? Oh, thank you. If the Witch of the Black Forest is sent to the graveyard, I get to pick another card from my deck. A monster with up to 1500 defense points! And I get to shuffle my deck again. Whee! Thank you, Teddy!"

"Hmm." Yugi said, thoughtfully as Rebecca drew another card and shuffled her deck. "Well, I'm waiting. Are you gonna play or what?"

"Hey, don't you distract me when I'm thinking!" shouted Rebecca. "What next? Decisions, decisions, decisions."

"That kid could really drive you crazy really easily." said Tea.

"Without a doubt." said Paige.

"Oh, I guess I'm stuck with this one." said Rebecca. "Hmm…here we go. I play Sangan in attack mode."

Sagan (ATT:1000/ DEF:600) appeared on the field, growling. "Aww, he's so cute, isn't he?" asked Rebecca, cooing over the monster.

"Not for long." said Yugi. "You can kiss Sangan good-bye!"

"Oh!"

"Celtic Guardian, attack!" shouted Yugi and Celtic Guardian slices Sangan in half as he sends it to the graveyard.

"That Celtic Guardian sent my poor Sangan to the graveyard, too." cried Rebecca as her life points dropped once again to 1,300. "You're so mean!"

"Oh please!" Paige called out. "My brother doesn't have a mean bone in his body."

"Yes he does." whined Rebecca.

"Gimme a break." sighed Yugi. "But my sister is right. I'm not being mean. I'm just playing the game."

"Did you hear that, Teddy?" Rebecca asked her bear. "Nasty old Yugi and his mean sister are yelling at me."

"And we're not yelling at you!" exclaimed Yugi and Paige.

"Huh? What did you say?" asked Rebecca. "We havent lost just yet, Teddy? If Sangan goes to the graveyard, I can pull a new monster? Mm-hmm. I understand that."

"Hmm?" wondered Yugi.

"I don't know. That girl's weird." said Tea.

"She's not just weird, Tea. This whole duel is weird." said Paige.

"Geniuses are supposed to be eccentric; you know." said Tristan.

"Come on you guys. You gotta be kiddin'." said Joey. "That little twerp's no genius. She's just a nut case."

"Hmm…Rebecca's strategy is strangely familiar to me." thought Grandpa.

"Now, lets get down to business. Kid gloves are off." said Rebecca, getting all serious. "You've met your match, Yugi."

"Suddenly she's a lot more serious." said Yugi.

"I play a magic card, Tribute to the Doomed!" said Rebecca, placing her magic card on the field. "It lets me throw away one card from my hand. In exchange, I get to wipe out one of my opponent's monsters from the field."

"Huh?"

"Heh…" said Rebecca, showing Yugi that she meant business. "just watch!"

Once she had placed card from her hand into the graveyard, mummy wraps appeared around Celtic Guardian, taking him to the graveyard. "Celtic Guardian went bye-bye." Rebecca taunted Yugi. "And to finish my turn, I play one more card in defense mode."

"Hmm."

"Hm-mm. Here is where things start to get interesting, Yugi." Rebecca said. "Mark my words….the Blue Eyes White Dragon will be mine again!"

"Am I having hallucinations, or did she just put on a totally different personality?" asked Tristan.

"Uh-Uh. She's a lot smarter than she led us to believe." said Tea. "Watch out for her, Yugi."

"Yeah." Joey agreed.

"Tea's right." thought Yugi. "That little kid's stuff was just an act. Rebecca's a serious duelist. All right, Rebecca…I attack with Summoned Skull!"

"Big mistake, Yugi." said Rebecca, then turns over her facedown card. "The card I played was the Millenium Shield."

"The Millenium Shield!" said Yugi as the Millenium Shield (ATT:0/ DEF:3000) appeared on the field with the same symbol as the Millenium puzzle.

"It has 3,000 defense points, and your Skull only has 2,500 attack points." said Rebecca.

As Summoned Skull attacked with electricity, the Millenium Shield protected Rebecca and her life points, making her laugh as she jumps up and down. "So you lose 500 life points." Rebecca said happily as Yugi's life points dropped to 1,500. "Whee! Yugi's down 500 life points!"

"Hey, that little squirt can actually duel." said Joey.

"Someone's trained her very well." chimed Tristan.

"Wait. I've seen that card before, with its overwhelming power." thought Grandpa. "I remember now."

[Flashback]

"Its called the Millenium Shield." said Grandpa's opponent, revealing the Millenium Shield. "Interesting card, isn't it?"

"It certainly is." said Grandpa. "Your defense is now impenetrable, Professor Hawkins."

"Arthur. Call me, Arthur." he said.

[Flashback ends]

"It was at an archaeological dig in Egypt so many years ago that I'd nearly forgotten." thought Grandpa. "But almost card for card, my friend Professor Hawkins and I played this same duel."

"Why are you so surprised that I won that last exchange?" asked Rebecca. "I told you I was a child prodigy. This duel has been easy so far."

"Rrrruff him up, Rebecca." said Teddy.

"Right, Teddy!" she said. "I play a magic card: Ring of Magnetism." Out on the field, Ring of Magnetism appears and creates an electric field around it.

"Now why would she play that?" asked Yugi as the Shield's power drops to 2,500. "Hmm. Combining it with the Millenium Shield actually weakens the shield's overwhelming defense power."

"Ha-ha! Poor Yugi." said Rebecca. "He's confused, Teddy. Hee-Hee-Hee! What's he gonna to do?"

"Nothing." he tells her. "I'm going to pass this turn."

"Aha! He's taking the wait-and-see attitude." said Rebecca. "Well, if you cant think of a move, I can. Cannon Soldier, attack mode."

Cannon Soldier (ATT:400/ DEF:1300) appeared on the field with its metal hands up. "Be very careful, Yugi." Grandpa called out to his grandson.

"Huh?"

"What's going on, Grandpa?" asked Paige.

"If she sacrifices a monster next, she can turn Cannon Soldier's assault directly on Yugi's life points." Grandpa explained.

"Yeah, but she's never gonna get the chance, 'cause Yugi's Summoned Skull's gonna blow Cannon Soldier away." said Joey.

"Lets hope so, otherwise that soldier will do a lot of damage." said Tristan.

"Summoned Skull, attack Cannon Soldier!" shouted Yugi as Summoned Skull raised his arms. "Lightning Strike!"

"Waste of energy." said Rebecca. "Just watch what happens with his attack."

Summoned Skull's Lightning Strike goes past Cannon Soldier and directly around the magnetic field around the Millenium Shield. "Huh?" gasped Yugi.

"Ha-ha-ha-ha! See?" asked Rebecca. "The Ring of Magnetism draws all your attacks to my Millenium Shield. Get it? While the Ring of Magnetism is in play, my monsters are all safe, 'cause all you can attack is my Millenium Shield. And it's got a defense power of 2,500. Ha!"

"Unh! It's a standoff." thought Yugi. "Summoned Skull's attack power is the same is exactly equal to the defense power of her Millenium Shield. I have to break through that shield somehow in order to win."

"So, are you having a good time, Teddy?" Rebecca asked her bear. "Good. 'Cause this duel's gonna get even better now." She then giggles as she drew a new card from her deck. "Oh, cool, it's the Shadow Ghoul. This little baby will come on handy a little later. But for now, lets summon another wimpy Witch of the Black Forest, in attack mode."

"Huh?"

"So long, Witch. You get used as a sacrifice to my Cannon Solider, so he can turn all his power directly onto Yugi's life points." said Rebecca. The Witch screams as she was sacrificed for Cannon Soldier. "Cannon Soldier, you got her energy, now blow Yugi away."

Cannon Soldier fires upon Yugi, dropping his life point by 400. "Well, that took you down a peg. 400 pegs, to be exact." said Rebecca, giggling. "And now I get to draw another card."

"She's real good." said Joey. "She must've learned dueling from somebody as experienced as you, Gramps."

"Joey, you might be right." said Grandpa.

"Huh! I was taught by someone more talented than a Muto could ever be." said Rebecca. "My grandfather was the best duelist ever."

"Your grandfather?" questioned Yugi.

"Hey! We Mutos are talented duelists!" shouted Paige as Tristan, Joey and Tea held her back.

"Is what I suspected true?" asked Grandpa. "Rebecca, what's your last name?"

"Took you long enough to ask." she said. "Yes, my name is Rebecca Hawkins. And my grandfather is Professor Arthur Hawkins, the man whose Blue Eyes White Dragon you stole and whose friendship you betrayed."

"That's crazy." said Tristan.

"Absolutely nuts." added Joey.

"You're wrong, Rebecca." said Yugi. "My grandfather would never betray a friend."

"He taught us how to treat our friends." said Paige.
