Pain.

That was All That he knew when he woke up. He must have been drugged or... Gas. That's what must have knocked them out. A colorless, odorless gas.

He looked up and the light blinded him, it was so bright.

"Oh Good." an annoying, nasal voice said. "You're awake."

"Weevil?" He asked. "Why did you Knock us out? Why did you kidnap us?"

"Because!" Weevil snapped. "You took away my Chance to win Duelist Kingdom."

"You wouldn't have won. You would have lost within the first two matches."

"And why do you think that? I am the Champion."

"No, you're not. You aren't even a real challenge. You cheat, bribe, and manipulate Your way into worthless victories. If you want a real challenge, then challenge Panik or Montgomery to a duel. They will wipe the floor with you and Your pathetic bugs."

"Baby steps. First I'll beat you, then Yugi, then I'll move onto them."

"You couldn't duel your way out of a paper bag if you had a deck full of scissors!"

Weevil grit his teeth and growled. "I'll Show you not to disrespect me!" He pulled on a rope to show Kazutaka in a glass beehive with a cone leading into it. The cone was full of bees.

Kazutaka looked annoyed more than anything. She folded her arms over her chest and frowned at the two before putting her hands on her hips and tapping her foot.

"Heh heh heh Heh." Weevil laughed. "That cone is full of Africanized Killer Bees! Each Time one of us loses life points that many bees will be released into the hive! Hahahhahahahahahaha!"

"And what makes you think I'll duel you and Not just break you where you stand!?"

"Uh Uh Uh. If Either of us leave the duel platform, then the bees will be dropped into the hive regardless!"

•We could kill him my Warden.• Imprisoned Queen Archfiend Said.

•He'd Fall over the side and kill Kazu. I won't risk hurting her.•

•Sometimes Sacrifices must be made.•

•Fuck that. If anyone's getting Sacrificed, it'll be me. Not a friend.•

•We could hold him in place do he doesn't fall until you get Your mate out.•

•My what!•

•Your mate. That is what she is to you, isn't she?•

•We'll discuss that later, but no. I have a better idea.•

•What?•

•Penalty Game. When I win, I'll switch him and Kazu and let him have his bees.•

•What if you lose?•

•I refuse to believe I'll lose. If you think you'll lose or can't do something, then you'll be right. I don't believe I'll lose, so I'm going to win.•

•I see.•

"Fine Weevil! You want to duel! Let's duel!"

"Ah ah ah. Rules First. Anytime Either of us take damage, that many bees will be released into the hive. Meaning That the first time Either of us take damage... hahahahahahaha!"

Jason grit his teeth. He couldn't take damage. He couldn't deal damage, so the only thing he could do was destroy Weevil's field and get him to deck out. He needed to play Chaos.

He caught a flicker of movement and looked at Kazutaka who mimed punching someone and pointed at Weevil.

"She isn't very smart, is she?" Weevil said conversationally.

"Smarter than you Howard!" Jason snapped.

"Have I made you so mad that you've forgotten my name?"

"No. I'm insulting your haircut."

Jason looked at Kazutaka and activated the Millennium Eye.

"Jason. Don't worry about me. I'll take care of the bee's. You kick this guy's ass."

Jason glared at Weevil. "You want to duel! Then let's duel!" He said shuffling his deck. "Now play!"

Jason Todd: 2000

Weevil Underwood: 2000

"So eager to send her to her death? I wouldn't want a Gold digger hanging around me either."

"Hey!" Kazutaka said.

"Keep talking!" Jason said. "I'll walk over there and kick the shit out of you rather than wait till I get Kazu out of there."

'Kick his ass!' Kazutaka thought. 'Don't worry about the trap. I've managed to plug it for now.'

Jason nodded and drew a card. "I'll set three cards and play Dark Valkyria in attack mode!"

Three holographic cards appeared on the battlefield and Dark Valkyria appeared in attack position, glaring at Weevil and flexed her claws.

"Foolish of you to play that card in attack position." Weevil laughed. "Now Watch as I make you pay for your foolishness!" Weevil drew a card and smiled. "I'll play a card in face down defense position and a spell card on the field!"

Two holographic cards appeared on the field and Weevil cackled.

"Are you done?" Jason asked in a bored tone.

"What?" Weevil asked confused.

"Are. You. Done?" Jason annunciated the words.

"Yes. Why aren't you worried or mad?"

"Kazu said that she had everything under control, and I believe her."

"How did she talk to you?"

"Through my Millennium Eye." Jason pointed at the Millennium Eye. "I can see a person's mind with this. It allows me to read peoples thoughts too."

"You-you're joking."

"Nope. You're Holding Leghul, Pinch Hopper, Flying Kamikiri #2, and Larvae Moth. You just played Warm Worm and Laser Cannon Armor and are hoping that I'll draw the Parasite Parricide card so you can use Eradicating Aerosol on my monsters and take all of my life points so that I'll be the reason Kazutaka dies by "my" hand. Did I leave anything out?"

"How? How did you know that!"

"I already told you. My Millennium Eye. Now play!"

"Bu-but that's cheating!"

"Like how you threw Yugi's Exodia overboard on the way to Duelist Kingdom and almost drowned Yugi and Joey?"

"No! No! This isn't anything like that! There's no point to playing this game anymore! I'm leaving!"

"Penalty!" Jason yelled at Weevil. "You now have to play the game from inside your own Beehive! Any damage you take will release that many bees from the cone! If you win, I'll let you out, but if you lose..."

Jason let the silence hang in the air for a minute before Weevil looked at him from inside the Beehive. "How did you do that!" Weevil sobbed.

"Magic." Jason said. "My turn?"

"No! I forfeit! Let me out! Let ME OUT! LET! ME! OUT!"

"Not unless you win the duel. What's wrong Weevil? Can dish it out, but can't take it?"

Kazutaka looked at Jason. "Should you really be doing this?"

"He was going to do it to you." Jason replied.

"Yes, but you're not him."

"What's to stop him from doing the same thing to someone else?"

"I won't! I promise!" Weevil sobbed.

"Tell me something and I'll let you go."

"Anything!" Weevil sobbed.

"How did you survive?"

"That would be my doing." Someone said, using Weevil as a mouthpiece.

"Who are you." Jason said, unamused.

"I am Marik! And I want to finish this duel! Now play!"

"How about no." Jason said.

"You have no choice! You either duel or I will make this vessel kill himself!"

"Try it."

"JASON!" Kazutaka yelled.

"Wait." Jason responded.

"You play with this one's life so recklessly?"

"Try. It."

Weevil broke out of the voices control. "Wh-what happened?"

"Weevil! Someone is trying to control you! Fight it!"

"I'm afraid that weevil won't be fighting anyone but you!" Marik yelled.

"Why not fight me yourself coward!" Jason yelled.

"But I will be fighting you! As weevil! Now draw!"

Jason grit his teeth but drew his next card. He looked at it and hid his surprise. Imprisoned Queen Archfiend wasn't supposed to be in his Chaos deck. He couldn't play her unless he drew Pandemonium. "I'll play a second Dark Valkyria and end my turn!"

"Ah ah ah." Marik chided. "You have to attack, remember."

"Fine." Jason Said. "I'll attack Weevil's face down Warm Worm."

"You know the effect! Send the top three cards to your graveyard!"

Jason scowled as he sent Black Luster Soldier- Envoy of the Beginning, Terrorking Archfiend, and White Horned Dragon to the graveyard. "I end."

"I draw." Marik smiled. "I'll set a monster face down and end."

"Then I draw and set a card in the spell and trap zone, and I'll Gemini Summon one of my Dark Valkyria! By Gemini summoning this card I can place a spell counter on this card taking her from 1800 ATK to 2100 ATK! Dark Valkyria! Attack his face down! Rip and Tear!"

The Dark Valkyria flew across the battlefield and ripped Weevils holographic card apart.

"You destroyed my Needle Worm!" Marik laughed. "Thanks to that, you send the top five cards from the top of you our deck to the graveyard!"

Jason grit his teeth as he sent Disappear, White Ninja, Dimensional Prison, Banisher of the Light, and Pandemonium to the graveyard. Now he'd lose life points by playing Imprisoned Queen Archfiend. He had to save her as a last resort.

"Judging by the look on your face, you just got rid of some really good cards." Marik laughed.

"Eat a dick, Marik!" Jason snapped.

"Is it my turn?"

"Yes!"

"I draw, and I will summon Leghul from my hand, and I'll equip it with Laser Cannon Armor! Leghul! Attack his life points directly!"

"Not so fast!" Jason smiled. "I activate the trap card, Dimensional Prison! It removes an attacking monster an opponent's controls from play!"

"What!"

A Portal opened and Leghul jumped through it, removing itself from play.

"NO!"

"My turn?"

"Just Take Your stupid turn!"

"Then I draw and set a card. Then I activate Foolish Burial. Do you know what that does?"

"Yes, yes. It allows you to send one card from your deck to the graveyard."

"And do you know which card I'm sending to the graveyard?"

"No! Why would I!"

"I'm sending Parasite Parricide to the graveyard!"

"WHAT! NO!"

"Good riddance, and since you don't have a monster to defend your life points with, as according to Duelist Kingdom rules, I can't attack you?"

Marik grit Weevil's teeth.

"I end by the way. Go."

Marik drew a card and smiled. "I'll set a monster card in defense position and end."

'So. Marik just played Skull-Mark Ladybug.' Jason thought. 'Let's see what can be done with that.' "I draw..." 'did I always have this Mirror Force in this deck? I don't remember having it in this deck.' "I'll set a card and Gemini Summon my second Dark Valkyria. Dark Valkyria! Attack his face down card!"

Weevil's face down card pixilated and Marik laughed.

"You fool! My life total just went from 2000 to 3000!"

Weevil Underwood: 3000

"How nice for you." Jason smirked.

"Are you mocking me?"

"Nooooo." Jason said, forcing as much sarcasm into his tone as possible. "Why would I want to mock you? It's not like you're a little baby coward doing baby coward things like mind controlling people."

"You dare mock me!"

"It's your turn."

"What?"

"It's. Your. Turn."

Marik drew a card and laughed. "I set a card in face down defense position, and end."

"I draw. Then I set a card in the spell and trap zone and remove a spell counter from Dark Valkyria destroying your monster. It's flip effect won't activate."

"WHAT!"

"Your monster is destroyed and sent to the graveyard. No flip effects activate. I end."

"Very well! I'll draw a card and set a card in the spell and trap zone. Then I'll play Flying Kamikiri # 2!"

"I activate the Bottomless Trap Hole. Removing it from play."

"WHAT!"

"You're Not very Good at playing Weevil's deck, are you? I already know how weevils would have played your current hand, and you're doing it all wrong."

"YOU DARE MOCK ME!"

"I dare."

"Then you will..."

"Do you end?"

"Yes."

"I draw. I'll set a monster in face down Defense position, and end."

"I draw, and I'll play Gokibore in face up attack position and attack your face down."

"You attacked my Worm Apocalypse and activated its flip effect. I can one spell or trap card on the field, and I'll go ahead and destroy yours."

Marik grit Weevil's teeth.

"Dude! Quit gritting weevil's teeth! You'll grind them down to the roots if you keep that up!"

"Shut up and take your pathetic turn!"

"I draw. Then I'll set a spell or trap, activate the trap card Disappear, removing Weevil's Needle Worm from his graveyard, then I'll activate a second Foolish Burial sending a Banisher of the Light from my deck to the graveyard."

"Why are you so foolishly sending monsters to the grave!?"

"Reasons, but. Since I have to attack you..." Jason looked at Kazutaka who nodded at him.

'Don't worry.' She thought 'I blocked up the funnel with my socks.'

Jason nodded back. "...I'll attack your Gokibore with my Dark Valkyria without a spell counter on it! Meaning you lose 600 life points!"

Weevil Underwood: 2400

"You fool!" Marik laughed. "That means that 600 bees will be released into this hive! Killing this servant!"

"Think again ass hole!" Jason snapped. "I still had another Spell counter I could have used to destroy it! Why would I attack if I could have just destroyed Weevil's monster? The answer... I'm not telling you!"

"Tell me!"

"Go!"

"Tell me!"

"It's your turn!"

"TELL ME!"

"It's. Your. Turn."

Marik drew a card and grit his teeth. "I'll play Pinch Hopper in attack mode and end my turn."

"I draw, and I'll attack your Pinch Hopper with my Dark Valkyria with the Spell Counter on it dealing you 1100 damage!"

Weevil Underwood: 1300

"What! Why aren't the bees attacking!"

"Fuck you! That's why! I end, but first, aren't you going to summon a card thanks to Pinch hoppers effect?"

Marik grit Weevil's teeth.

"You don't have a card you can summon, do you?"

Marik grit Weevil's teeth harder until Jason heard a crack and Weevil took control again.

"Ow!" Weevil squealed. "That hurt!"

"Weevil! Fight his control! Do it now!"

"I'm afraid that Weevil isn't here right now. Please leave a message."

"If you don't draw a monster card you can play next turn, I win."

Marik drew a card and laughed. "Oh, you fool! Oh, you poor, poor fool! Oh, you poor unfortunate fool! I play the Insect Queen."

"Bottomless Trap Hole." Jason flipped the spell up. "It's removed from play."

"NOOO!" Marik roared.

"Is it my turn?" Jason asked in a bored tone.

"Just... Just Go."

"I draw, and I activate my third and final Foolish Burial. Sending a white Ninja to the graveyard. I'll end since you don't have any monster cards to attack but remember. You need to get a monster card you can play, or you lose the game."

Marik drew and played a card in face down defense position. "I end."

"What? No evil laugh? No monologue about how you're going to win?"

"Just Go." Marik Said defeated. "I'm sure that you'll have a way to counter whatever I play, so just go."

"Where's all your arrogance and bravado?"

"Just Go!"

"I draw a card, and I'll banish White Ninja and White Horned Dragon to play Chaos Emperor Dragon!"

A Silver and Blue Dragon with orange-red hair appeared on the battlefield and let out a deafening roar.

"Next, I'll pay 1000 life points to nuke the field and our hands, seven from my side and however many from your side..."

"Four." Marik said, defeated.

"So that's eleven in total. Chaos Emperor Dragon deals 300 damage to you for each card sent to the graveyard this way for a grand total of 3300."

Chaos Emperor Dragon opened his maw and blasted Weevil.

Weevil hit the wall and fell to the floor from the power of the attack.

"NNOOO!" Marik yelled.

"Hey Marik!" Jason yelled. "Don't ever come back to Domino City ever again!"

"Fool!" Marik yelled. "I'm already here! Now! Die!"

There was a crack and the beehive shattered letting 4000 Africanized Killer Bees into the air.

"NO!"

Jason and Kazutaka way he did horror as the bees descended upon Weevil and others flew at them. They ran as fast as they could to escape the swarm.

Jason opened the Shadow Realm and the bees died from the strain it put on their bodies.

"I'm so glad that worked." He said once they left to see a pile of dead bees on the floor.

Jason looked at Weevil's corpse. There was nothing they could do. It wasn't even recognizable from all the stings. He gritted his teeth and snarled in his throat. "Marik is going to regret coming to Domino."

"I thought you didn't like Weevil." Kazutaka said.

"I don't, and even though I threw him overboard on the way to Duelist Kingdom it's not like I wanted him dead."

"But you threw him over the edge of a boat? Into the ocean?"

"Yes. I wasn't in a good place then, I'm in a better place now, but Weevil wasn't in his own head. Marik was in control. If it had actually been Weevil in control, I'd have locked him in the Beehive and called the police, but it wasn't, and Marik will pay."

"Let's call the police. We'll tell them what happened."

"Oh, yeah. They'll totally believe that one guy mind controlled Weevil."

"No. We'll tell them that he forced Weevil to do that because he threatened his family or something."

"Oh. Yeah. We can say that."

Jason's phone rang. He looked at it and saw Joey had been calling him for a while. "Hello?" He asked.

"JAY! Oh, tank goodness I got t'rough ta ya. W'ere are ya an' Kazu! We've been lookin' for ya guys."

"We got kidnapped Joey. We're down by the..." Jason looked outside and saw docks. "... we're down at the docks."

"Ya guys got kidnapped! Who was it!"

"Someone named Marik. We need to meet up so we can tell you about him."

"We'll meet ya at da diner!"

"We can't meet at the diner Joey."

"Why not?"

"Kaiba is remodeling it."

"Oh. Den, where do ya want ta meet?"

"We'll meet at my house. As far as I know, no one but Mokuba knows where it is, and how to get there when we're being followed. Call Mokuba and have him take you there."

"Will do. See ya guys dere."

"Bye Joey." Jason and Kazutaka said in unison.

"Bye guys." Joey said before he hung up.

"Let's go." Jason said as they left the warehouse.

Jason's Danger Sense went off and he tackled Kazutaka back into the warehouse.

The ground where they had been standing moments ago exploded.

"You've got to be kidding me!" Jason shouted.

"They have us surrounded." Kazutaka said.

"How can you tell?"

"Just a feeling." She spoke.

Jason flipped his Phone open and pressed speed dial.

Shiera pulled the left side of the hood on the vehicle that Jason had commissioned her and Connor to build. It wasn't a conventional vehicle by any means, but it was a vehicle. It was more like a tank than anything. She wiped her hands on a rag and threw the rag on a bench. All that was left to do now was test it. She climbed into the cockpit and was about to start it when her phone rang.

She was about to start it when her phone rang. She flipped it open and answered. "Hello?"

"Shiera! Please tell me it's done!"

"Jason? What's wrong?"

"Kazutaka and I got kidnapped! We're surrounded and under fire!"

"I think it's done. Let me Just fire it up." She said pressing the ignition and the vehicle roared to life with a deafening start. "IT STARTED!" She yelled into the phone. "WHAT'S YOUR LOCATION! I'LL LOCK IN THE COORDINATES AND SEND IT OVER!"

"DOMINO DOCKS!" Jason yelled into the phone. "WE'RE AT DOMINO DOCKS!"

Shiera punched the docks into the GPS and sent the vehicle off towards the docks.

"Okay. It's on its way. It should be there in ten minutes."

"We May not have ten minutes!" Kazutaka yelled into the phone.

"I'm sorry, but that's the best I can do right now."

"I can get there in five minutes." Connor said jumping onto his bike.

"Connor's on his way. He'll be there in five minutes."

"Thanks. We'll do what we can until then."

"You're Welcome, just so you know. Kaiba dropped something off to put in the tank."

"What?"

"Don't know. It had a red Bat on it. Do you know what it is?"

"If it's what I think it is then I'll kiss him!"

"I'd pay to see that." Shiera said. "Do you want me to stay with you until it arrives?"

There was the sound of flesh hitting flesh followed by Kazutaka saying. "We're hanging up now. We'll call you back later."

"Okay. Be safe."

"Don't worry. We will."

Shiera flipped her phone shut and put it away. She walked over to a chest that had a black hawks head in a red circle on it. She ran her fingers over it and hoped that Jason and Kazu would be kept safe.

Jason lashed out at a figure wearing a cloak, punching him in the nose, breaking it.

Kazu grabbed another Rare Hunter by their waist and suplexed them into the ground.

"Whoa." Jason said. "That was kick ass."

"Thank you." Kazu said as she slammed the Rare Hunter into the ground again.

"We need to hold out for ten minutes."

"Easier said than done. Can't you Shadow Realm them like you did those bees?"

"I'm an idiot."

"No arguments here."

Jason opened the Shadow Realm and released the Archfiends to the horrified screams of the Dark Hunters."

•My Warden! You need to close the door! Your mate will not survive!• The Imprisoned Queen Archfiend yelled.

Jason closed the Shadow Realm and looked at Kazutaka. "I'm going to draw the snipers fire. You..."

Kazutaka grabbed Jason by his shirt and pulled him towards her. "Don't you dare tell me to leave you behind!" She snarled. "Cause I won't!"

"Okay. Then how should we get out of here?"

"How long can you hold your breath?"

"Three Minutes. Five if I really push myself."

"Your card cases are Waterproof right?"

"My CARDS are waterproof." Jason explained.

"Okay. Take a deep breath."

Jason did so and Kazutaka grabbed him before jumping up and slamming them through the wooden floor into the ocean.

The water was frigid and tried battering them against the pillars keeping the warehouse up, but Kazutaka swam through them like they were nothing, pulling Jason along with her.

She pulled him onto the beach and looked at him. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah." Jason said. "Yeah. I'm fine."

"You're Not going to ask how I was able to do that?"

"You work out, right? Like Conner and your cousin?"

"How did you know about them?"

Conner rode up to them. "You guys okay!?" He called from the roadside.

There was the sound of a gunshot and Conner grunted as he took the hit.

"Where's the Tumbler?" Jason asked.

There was the sound of a jet engine and a massive armored car landed in the sand.

"There it is." Conner said.

Jason ran to the Tumbler and opened it before climbing inside. What jumped out wasn't Jason.

A tall lanky figure with spindly arms and legs jumped out. He wore white armor with red accents, a red symbol in the center of his chest, a red helmet, and a black and red jacket with silver shoulder pads.

He reached into the Tumbler and pulled out an odd bracelet that had two blades on it. It looked like it was a portable dueling field. When he put it on the world seemed to come alive with electric energy.

"What is that?" Kazutaka asked.

"Their worst nightmare." The figure said as he slid a deck into the deck slot causing the bracelet to spark and hum with electricity.

Kazutaka and Conner watched the figure disappear onto the docks.

"That was Jason, right?" Conner asked Kazutaka.

"I was about to ask you the same thing."

The air was filled with terror filled screams and rage filled roars.

The water began turning red with blood and the figure walked onto the beach before climbing into the Tumbler and drove off.

"That wasn't Jason." Kazutaka said.

The figure drove through the streets of Domino City like a man possessed. He drifted around a corner and jumped from the Tumbler before grabbing the wall and pushing himself upward and jumping to the opposite wall, jumping up to the roof before he landed and looked out at the city.

This city was new to him. He was no longer in Egypt.

His Archfiends called out to him they lusted for battle, for blood. He would give it to them. He would judge the unworthy and feed their putrid souls to his Archfiends.

He pulled his Archfiends out of the bracelet on his wrist and looked through them.

They had been placed upon wooden sheets and decorated in gold. Most fitting of his Warriors, but there were new warriors added.

King of Yamimakai

Berserk Dragon

Dark Tinker

Archfiend Heiress

Lesser Fiend

Emissary of Pandemonium

Archfiend interceptor

Archfiend Commander

Archfiend Emperor, The First Lord of Horror

Red Eyes Black Dragon

Synkron Resonator

Chain Resonator

Double Resonator

Trance Archfiend

Black Skull Dragon

Red Dragon Archfiend

Archfiend's Call

Chaos King Archfiend

Infernity Doom Archfiend

Scrap Archfiend

He looked at them with wonder. These new Warriors made little sense to him, but they were in this deck for a reason. So, they must be good. He was about to move when everything faded to black.

Jason was standing on the edge of a building looking down. "How the fuck did I get here?" he asked looking down.

He looked around and found a tinted window. He was wearing charcoal grey boots, grey and white armor with a red skull in the center of his chest, charcoal grey gloves and a charcoal grey cape, and a red dome helmet. "I'm going to kill Kaiba!" He snarled.

Seto Kaiba shuddered when he felt a shiver run up his spine.

"What's wrong big brother?" Mokuba asked.

"I just felt a spike if malicious intent."

"Are we under attack?"

"l don't think so. I think Jason is annoyed with me?"

"Why?"

"He's Jason. When isn't he annoyed with me?"

"l guess you have a point." Mokuba looked around and saw something. "What's that?" He asked pointing at a bag."

Seto looked at the bag and saw a red bat on it. "What IS that?" He asked. "I took a bag with a similar symbol on it."

They opened the bag and saw a black motorcycle helmet with black metal armor with a red bat in the center of the chest.

There was a utility belt with several pouches filled with various items, and a pair of gloves with gauntlets.

Seto pulled a gauntlet from the bag and pressed a button causing a duel disk to unfold.

"What is that, Seto?" Mokuba asked.

"Todd has some explaining to do." Seto demanded.

Jason pulled into the underground garage under KaibaCorp and stalked to the elevator. He rode the elevator up to the top floor and stalked towards Seto's office. "Kaiba!" He said as he opened the door.

"Todd!" Seto demanded as he stood up and pointed at his desk. "Want to tell me what this is all about?"

Jason looked at the Duel Disk on the desk. "Is that why you gave me this clown costume!" He demanded.

"I didn't make that thing! I put the bag with the red bat on it in that thing. Mokuba found a second bag with a red bat on it." Kaiba tossed a new bag at Jason's feet.

Jason opened the bag and saw the suit he'd actually made. He looked up at Kaiba. "If you didn't make this..." he pointed at the suit he was wearing. "... who did?"

"Stop being a drama Queen Todd." Kaiba said as he pressed a button on his computer to show Jason working on two suits. One during the day, the other at night.

"That's not me." Jason said.

"So, you expect me to believe that there are two of you?"

"No. Look at the night me. They are too precise. Every movement is too deliberate."

"Do you expect me to believe that?"

"Yes."

"We'll come back to that. Why do you make a Duel Disk?!"

"The Archfiend's would destroy your Duel Disk."

"Prove it!" Kaiba demanded, tossing Jason a Duel Disk.

Jason activated the Duel Disk and slid Imprisoned Queen Archfiend into a monster slot.

The Duel Disk began sparking and smoking before it exploded.

"See." Jason Said.

Kaiba looked at Jason in shock. He'd never seen anything like that before. "I challenge you to a duel!" He yelled.

"Fine." Jason sighed placing his helmet on his head so he couldn't read Kaiba's mind before activating the Duel Disk on the suits gauntlet and placed his Archfiend deck in the deck slot.

Seto Kaiba: 2000

Jason Todd: 2000

"I'll go first!" Kaiba said. "I'll play Sword Stalker in attack position! Then I'll end!"

Jason drew a card. 'Alright. I've got this in the bag.' He thought. "I'll play Vanity Friend! Then I'll set three cards in the spell and trap zone."

A cloaked figure with blood red hair appeared on the field with three holographic cards.

"Next I'll attack your sword Stalker with Vanity Fiend! Unholy Fiendish Slash!"

Vanity Fiend jumped at Sword Stalker and cut it in half with a swipe of its clawed hand.

Seto Kaiba: 1600

Kaiba growled and drew a card. He glared at the card as if it had personally offended him and placed it face down in defense position. "I end."

Jason drew a card. "I'll send Archfiend General from my hand to the graveyard to look for Pandemonium in my deck! Then I'll play Pandemonium, and I'll play Terrorking Archfiend!"

"No!" Kaiba yelled.

"You know about this card don't you. I can attack you directly if I get the right card."

"Yes!"

"Better hurry up and win Kaiba. I'll attack your face down with Vanity Fiend!"

Vanity Fiend shredded Saggi the Dark Clown, sending it to the graveyard.

Seto drew a card and grit his teeth before playing a card in face down defense position. "I end!"

"I'll play Archfiend Soldier, and Vanity Fiend will attack your Face Down!"

Kaiba growled as his Rude Kaiser was sent to the graveyard.

"Next I'll activate Nightmare Archfiends! By sacrificing Archfiend Soldier, I can give you three fiend tokens with 2000 ATK and DEF that whenever they are destroyed you lose 800 for each one destroyed."

Kaiba growled. "I'll find a way to beat you, Todd!"

"Good Luck! I end!"

Kaiba drew a card and growled. He played a card in face down defense position before switching the fiend tokens into defense position and ended.

"I draw a card and will have my Vanity Fiend attack one of your Fiend tokens."

Vanity Fiend attacked the fiend token; killing it. The Fiend token looked at Kaiba, enraged and attacked him before disappearing.

Seto Kaiba: 800

Kaiba growled and gritted his teeth. "Do you end!"

"Yes."

Kaiba drew a card and began laughing. "I summon the Mighty Blue Eyes!"

The giant blue dragon appeared on the field and roared at Jason.

Terrorking Archfiend raised his sword in defiance of the dragon.

"Blue Eyes! Attack Terrorking Archfiend! White Lightning!"

Blue Eyes opened its maw and blasted Terrorking Archfiend with a blast of white plasma.

Jason Todd: 1000

Jason grunted as he was hit with the energy blast. "Are you done?"

"Yes! Now, take your last pathetic turn!"

"I don't need to Kaiba! You forgot what's on the field!"

"What!"

"VANITY FIEND! ATTACK HIS FIEND TOKEN!"

"NNOOO!" Kaiba yelled as Vanity Fiend destroyed the fiend token and he lost his remaining life points.

Seto Kaiba: 0000

"I win again Kaiba." Jason Said.

"Damn it!" Kaiba yelled slamming his fists into his desk.

"You're too confident in your Blue Eyes Kaiba. Perhaps you should amp up your deck some, so you have more variety to choose from."

"You're telling me, a champion duelist, how to build a deck."

"Bitch please. I know REAL champions , and you ain't them. You're little league compared to them."

Kaiba growled at him and charged him.

Jason's body went slack, and his arm and legs became spindlier. He swung at Kaiba, hitting him in the Solar Plexus.

Kaiba gasped and grabbed his chest.

Stand down fool! Or must I feed your soul to my Archfiends?*

Kaiba looked at Jason; no. Not Jason. Gone was his brothers bodyguard, this wasn't Jason. Jason held himself relaxed but ready to strike. This... thing looked like it was a snake ready to strike.

"Who are you!" Kaiba demanded.

My name is Aladhi La Yamut. I am the Undying One.*

"What! Speak Japanese!"

"My name is Aladhi La Yamut. I am the Undying one."

"What happened to Jason!"

"Who?"

"You're obviously a different person than Jason. What happened to who you were before!"

"I am me. I don't know who this "Jason" is, but I am me."

"Oh please! You were Jason one minute now you're this... thing!"

"Address me by my name or my title vermin!"

"How about no! Kaeru! Saru! Get in here!"

The doors burst open, and two men ran in. They took one look at the figure and charged.

The Undying One ducked under Saru's arm and jabbed his arm causing it to flop to its side uselessly.

Kaeru spun, kicking at the Undying One, but he vaulted up and over his leg and kicked down causing him fall to his knees as his leg gave out.

"Is this the best you can throw at me?" The Undying One asked.

"No. this is!" Kaiba said pressing a button. "This is!"

A Hard Light copy of Mokuba appeared in the room.

"What is this? This isn't even a threat."

"Jason?" Mokuba asked.

The Undying One changed and Jason was standing there. He looked around and saw Kaeru and Saru on the floor. "What happened?" He asked.

"You happened." Kaiba said. "What the hell was that?"

"What was what?"

Kaiba turned his computer screen to Jason, showing Jason the last five minutes.

"That's not me."

"I know, but whoever that is, is a danger to Mokuba. I'm sorry, but you can't be Mokuba's bodyguard so long as you're like this. I'll have Kaeru and Saru guard Mokuba."

"Then who will guard you?"

"I have hired a new bodyguard."

"you're handling this a lot better than I thought you'd handle this."

"Don't worry. I'm not doing it for you. I'm doing it for Mokuba."

"That makes sense. So. What am I going to do?"

"Figure yourself out. Get therapy? I don't care. Now take your stuff and get out."

Jason gathered his gear and left. He made it back to his house and walked in before he was bombarded with questions.

"Jason!" Kazutaka yelled. "Where did you go after you left the docks?"

"Jay!" Joey shouted. "Dis guy at da new game shop! He's an ass hole! He's gonna tear down Gramps' shop!"

"Jason?" Mokuba asked. "Seto told me that you're not my bodyguard anymore. Why?"

"Guys!" Ryder said. "Give him some air why don't ya?"

Everyone backed away and Jason looked at them. "I went to talk to Kaiba about the suit. We'll figure something out about the new shop Joey, but I need details. Seto fired me because like Yugi, I change into someone different, or I guess, something different."

"What do you mean?" Yugi asked. "You have the spirit of the Millennium Eye inside you?"

Jason flashed back to kneeling on an alter as a priest pushed the Millennium Eye into his left eye socket.

"Aladhi La Yamut! I grant you the power of Millennium Eye! Use it in service to our Pharaoh as the new head of his Night Runners!"

Jason flashed back. "What was that? It made no sense."

"What didn't make sense?" Yugi asked.

"I think I just had a flashback."

"What did you see?" Yugi asked.

"I was kneeling on an alter while a priest pushed the Millennium Eye into my left eye, but the last flashback I had, the Pharaoh imprisoned the Archfiends in my subconscious and banished me... him."

"What do you mean?" The spirit asked taking over Yugi's body.

Jason went slack, his arms and legs became spindly, his body became tall and lanky, and he smiled a smile that froze the blood in everyone's veins. "Hello. Pharaoh."

"Who are you?" The Spirit asked.

"You don't remember me?" Not Jason asked. "I'm hurt. You're the one who made me who I am."

"I did?"

"You honestly can't remember?"

"No. I don't know who I am or who I was."

"The Great Pharaoh doesn't remember who he is?"

"No. Do you know who I am?"

"Yes, but no, I will not tell you."

"Why not?!"

"You destroyed a part of me for avenging myself! I was beaten and left to die in the desert for giving food to a slave."

Everyone looked between Not Jason and the spirit.

"Yugi?" TéA asked. "Did you really do that?"

"Not him. His father tried to have me killed. For the crime of feeding a slave. I fought for survival in the desert and clawed my way back. Afterwards I trained to use the Shadow Games and became the Wielder of the Archfiends. I avenged myself for what his father did to me, and he had the gall to call me evil."

"'Ey Jay." Joey began.

"Jason is not here right now. I am."

"Hold on a second." Ryder said. "I'm not saying that it was right, but he was the Pharaoh. It was his right as Pharaoh to have slaves and punish whomever he saw fit. Again. It's not right, but it was his right."

Not Jason turned to look at Ryder with dangerous precision. "So. You side yourself with the Pharaoh because he was born into power?"

"No! But I do have a complex knowledge of history. So do you, or at least Jason does. History of full of messed up situations. Do you know how many people have killed because "they were just following orders" or the Genocides? You're Not the only person who's been wronged! You have power! Use it to help people rather than get revenge on someone who made a mistake and can't even remember what he did!"

"You challenge me?"

"you're damn right I'm challenging you. You think you're scary? You ain't got nothing on Tina when she's horny."

Everyone looked at Ryder in various forms of shock, confusion, awe, and disgust.

"Hey." Jason Said. "You two need Counseling."

"Glad to have you back." Ryder said.

"Okay. What the hell happened."

"You have the spirit of an ancient Egyptian assassin sharing your body. Think of it like a timeshare. Sometimes he has it, sometimes you have it."

"What?"

"You're like Yugi. Sometimes Yugi is Yugi and sometimes Yugi is the spirit of the Millennium Puzzle."

'So, this is my Season Zero.' Jason thought. "You guys need to leave. I need to figure this out."

"I have a question." A voice said from the doorway.

The group turned to look at the figure.

"Why are you so unfazed by all of this?" Conner asked.

"We were trapped in the virtual world." Ryder said.

"Yuge is a different Person when he duels." Joey said.

"So, it's normal?"

"To us it is."

"That's weird."

"Even though Shiera is like us?" Jason asked.

"What?" Conner asked.

"Shiera has the Millennium key, right?"

"How did you know?"

"When I asked you if you picked the locks, you didn't give me a straight answer. The Millennium Key has the power to lock or unlock anything and everything. It was an educated guess."

Everyone looked at Jason.

"Tell me what happened at this new card shop." Jason changed the subject.
