"Don't worry, Paige and Yuge." Joey said as they ran out of a castle turret. "He couldn't have gotten far."

"We've got to find him." said Yugi. "Pegasus is the only one who can restore Grandpa's soul."

"Wait a minute." said Tea, stopping in her tracks.

"Huh?"

"Why? What's the matter, Tea?" asked Yugi.

"What's wrong?" asked Paige.

"That tower." she tells them. "It looks...."

"Yeah. Go on." said Yugi as Tristan and Joey walked back over.

"I think I've been there before with Tristan and Bakura." she finally said.

"Huh?" asked Tristan.

"I vaguely recall a secret room." Tea explained. "Pegasus' Sanctuary. Maybe it was just a dream, but..."

"Only if we were both dreaming. I'm starting to remember it, too." said Tristan, knowing exactly what Tea was talking about. "Pegasus fought with Bakura, and then Bakura's evil spirit came out. But why did we forget?"

"Evil Spirit?" asked Yugi.

"AARGH!" growled Joey. "Yeah. I bet he cast a spell on ya!"

"But we remember now. Let's go!" said Tea as she, Tristan and Joey took off.

"Hey! Wait up!" said Yugi.

"We're shorter than the three of you!" said Paige.

"It's all over." said Pegasus, standing in his sanctuary and looking at the three cards in front of him. "Everything I've struggled to obtain is now beyond my grasp. Keeping their souls will not serve me now."

He continued to stare at Solomon, Seto and Mokuba in their cards. "Besides, I'm a man of my word." Pegasus said. "And because of the defeat I suffered at the hands of Yugi and the mysterious spirit of his Millenium Puzzle, I am duty bound to fulfill my pledge." Using the power of his Millenium Eye, Pegasus releases all three souls from their cards.

"And so, I release these three souls." he said and all three disappeared, returning to their physical bodies. In the arena, Mokuba moves a bit. In the Dungeon, Kaiba starts moving. Back in the hospital, Grandpa starts groaning in his bed.

"Cecilia, I'm sorry, but I have failed you." Pegasus said to the painting. "My attempt to take over Kaiba Corp, my efforts to get all of the Millenium Items, was all done for you. In the hopes that I could to restore you, body and soul."

"How sweet." said Yami Bakura, standing behind Pegasus, who's Millenium Eye tells him something.

"Hmm? Who's there?" he asked, looking over his shoulder and sees the silhouette of Bakura. "Bakura! I remember now. You! You're the one that possesses the Millenium Ring!"

"Yes. And I intend to have all the items." said Yami Bakura. "Care to wager yours on a Shadow game? I'll give you a second chance at a Millenium item." He then chuckles a bit. "What you couldn't from Yugi, perhaps you could win from me."

Showing his deck, Yami Bakura walks over to the desk. "Who knows? If you defeat me and claim my ring, your deepest desires might not be beyond your grasp after all." he tells Pegasus, shuffling his deck and begins telling his fortune.

"Your Millenium item allows you to look into people's minds, Pegasus. Mine allows me to see their souls. I have but to look at your deck, Pegasus, and it reveals to me your true nature."

Before Yami Bakura, there was a card upside down. "The Happy Lover Card!" said Yami Bakura. "It shows you have experienced the joys of love. However, this card is upside down, which means your romance ended in tragedy."
