The Most Precious Treasure of All

Souls of the Cards

Yami Yugi's Pov

I had to beat Bakura, or rather, the evil spirit controlling him.

Me: "Bakura... You're a Duelist of the Dark Games, aren't you?" He chuckled.

Bakura: "Bakura? I'm not Bakura."

Me: "What is your objective?"

Bakura: "Yugi, you should know this. Whoever gets all the Millennium Items will have everything he wants in this world." That's what he was after!? "If you win, I'll restore everyone's soul. If I win, not only do I get your Millennium Puzzle..." He pointed to Yumi's unconscious body. "I also get Yumi-chan's Millennium Bracelet."

Me: "Try it!"

"Duel!"

We each drew 5 cards. I decided to go first. I picked Honda's favorite card.

Me: "My card is the Commander in defense mode!" I placed the card down, but instead of the monster itself, it was Honda dressed as the Commander. "Honda-kun?"

Honda: "W-what's this? Where am I?" He turned around and saw me. "Yugi?"

Me: "Everyone's souls were transferred into the card they like the most?"

Bakura: "It's too late to realize that now... And now, it's my turn. My card is... White Thief! Attack!" The monster attacked and Honda disappeared.

Me: "Honda-kun!"

Bakura: "In this duel, the soul card that loses, just like the other cards, goes to the Graveyard."

Me: "What?"

Bakura: "Soon, the God of Death will get to the Graveyard. When Commander is taken by the God of Death, Honda's body will die." What? I had to find a way to get Honda back and fast! "You've finally got it. But the Dark Game can't be stopped! Now it's your turn! What will you do, Yugi?" I looked at my hand. I couldn't play any of the soul cards carelessly, but Jounouchi's card was the only one that could defeat the White Thief.

Me: "Next is this card! Flame Swordsman!" I placed the card down and Jounouchi appeared.

Jounouchi: "Huh? What?"

Me: "Jounouchi-kun!" He turned around and exclaimed.

Jounouchi: "Are you... Yugi? What's going on?" I explained to him the best of what I could, but he still seemed confused. "Well, it's just a dream. So, who's the enemy?" He looked and was shocked to see Bakura.

Me: "That isn't Bakura-kun. An evil spirit is using his body..." Jounouchi attacked the White Thief and destroyed it.

Yugi: 2000

Bakura: 1200

Jounouchi: "All right! I did it, Yugi!" I nodded to him.

Me: "Now it's your turn!"

Bakura: "I'll use this!" He placed a monster face-down. What was it? Jounouchi recklessly attacked the monster, revealing it to me Metamorph Pod.

Me: "Metamorph Pod!"

Jounouchi: "Did I do something wrong?"

Me: "Flipping over the Metamorph Pod causes each player to discard their whole hand. Luckily, I didn't have anyone else's soul card in my hand." Jounouchi was sorry, but it didn't bother me. We both drew 5 new cards. I noticed that I now had Yugi's soul card in my hand. Bakura chuckled.

Bakura: "It's my turn." He set another card face down. "And also..." He placed either a Magic or Trap card down. "My turn is over." I couldn't take the chance that to the face-down wasn't another Metamorph Pod since you could have up to 3 copies in a deck. I placed the Black Magician down and Yugi appeared.
