Evil Rises Again

The Prologue

5000 years ago in Egypt, monsters lived inside the hearts of people. Until a group of high Priest developed 7 powerful shadow items known as the millennium items; with them the priest dragged out the shadow creatures and sealed them away within stone tablets. Soon they found that they could control the monsters in the stone tablets to duel each other in shadow games, however these duels led Egypt to the brink of destruction until a powerful brave young pharaoh locked the magic away. His spirit was then sealed away in his own millennium item, the Millennium Puzzle, where he stayed for 5000 years until a boy by the name of Yugi Moto solved the puzzle and freed the pharaoh. For four years Yugi and the Pharaoh as well as their friends saved the world from evil doers countless times while trying to unlock the pharaoh's memories. \Then they finally unlocked the pharaoh's memories now Yugi and the pharaoh had to have one last duel which would determine if they were ready to separate and if the pharaoh would be free to cross into the spirit realm or would he remain locked in the puzzle for another 5000 years.

Yugi already defeated all three Egyptian god cards and he destroyed both of pharaoh's magicians. They both have 200 life points left. Yugi has his Gold Sarcophagus on the field where he placed a card if the pharaoh uses the same card it will cancel the effect. He also has his silent magician on the field. Pharaoh has no monsters on the field but its his move. "This will be my final turn, Yugi you fought bravely however this duel will end with my victory. Thank you Yugi I know you did everything in your power to set me free. Now I activate monster reborn and bring back Slifer the Sky Dragon." Everyone watching gasped and joey exclaimed "He brought back an Egyptian God!" Then Pharaoh said ''science I have four cards in my hand Slifer gets 4000 attack points," Then the Pharaoh thought " My spirit will remain in this world. I guess me and Yugi weren't ready to separate. Yugi closes his eyes, thinking "If I were the Pharaoh, I would have summoned an Egyptian god, too." He looks up, determined, thinking, "That's why I was prepared for this very moment!" The Gold Sarcophagus begins to glow and lower itself to the ground. Yugi says "The card I hid inside the box is the same card you just played. The box's lid begins to slide open, as Joey says "that it's impossible—there's only one Slifer the Sky Dragon!" But the card rising from the box is Monster Reborn. The Pharaoh's eyes widen in surprise, as Yugi tells him "The effect of his Monster Reborn is negated, which means that the Egyptian god goes back to the graveyard." Mokuba exclaims "Yugi just defeated Slifer for the second time!" "Of all the cards to put in that box," Joey wonders. "How did Yugi know which one to pick?" Tristan asks "what did he expected—Yugi is the King of Games! Téa says "Yugi must have had this planned from the beginning. After spending so much time with the Pharaoh, Yugi knew exactly what he would play." Smiling, the Pharaoh closes his eyes, thinking "This was the greatest duel of my life," and thinking to Yugi "It's been an honor." Then he tells Yugi "Go on—it's your move." Yugi's hands tremble and Duke wonders "What he's waiting for. All Yugi has to do is attack, and the duel is over." Bakura says, "That's just it—once the match ends, the Pharaoh will be released, and we'll never see him again." The Pharaoh thinks to Yugi, "It's all right." With tears in his eyes, Yugi orders Silent Magician to attack the Pharaoh's life points directly.

The dueling field is enveloped in the light of the attack. Duke asks "Did Yugi win the duel," and Ishizu says that, "If the attack is successful, yes." The light fades, and the Pharaoh's life points go down to zero. The images of the cards disappear from the field. The duel is over. Yugi falls to his knees, his tears spilling onto the ground. The Pharaoh walks over to him, smiling sympathetically, and tells him, "Congratulations." Then he kneels in front of Yugi and puts his hand on Yugi's shoulder, telling him "A champion doesn't belong on his knees. You achieved a great victory for us both. Still weeping, Yugi says that "I was focusing so hard on playing the game that I forgot what winning this duel would actually mean. By defeating you, I've sent you away for good. The Pharaoh says, "No, you have opened the door for me. Thanks to you, my spirit can finally be at rest. I'll be back where I belong. Remember that fate brought us together for a reason, and we fulfilled our destiny. Yugi looks up at the Pharaoh, who says "We protected mankind from the return of the Shadow Games, and we've both grown tremendously along the way. They stand up, facing each other, and Yugi says "I'll miss you." The Pharaoh says "we'll never truly be apart. The gift of kindness you have given me, and the gift of courage I've given you, will remain with us and forever bind us. The Eye of Wdjat in the doorway begins to glow. Now that the battle ritual is complete, Ishizu says, "The Eye of Wdjat that guards the gate to the spirit world has awakened, and the spirit of the great Pharaoh, which was trapped within the Millennium Puzzle for five thousand years, is now free." The Pharaoh stands before the door. Téa asks, "So this is it?" Ishizu tells the Pharaoh to tell the Eye of Wdjat his name. The Pharaoh says, "I am the son of King Aknamkanon. My name is Atem." The door slides open, and light shines through it onto the Pharaoh's face. Atem steps forward towards the light. Téa, Joey, and Tristan call out, and run to the Pharaoh, who stops. Yugi joins them, as Tristan protests, "So that's how it ends? You think you can just show up and change everybody's life, and then just leave?" He covers his eyes with his hands. Joey and Téa also close their eyes against tears. Yugi wipes his eyes on his sleeve, and says "What Tristan means is that we don't want to say goodbye." Téa agrees saying "I knows that walking through that door means your spirit will finally be free, and it's all for the best, but it doesn't seem fair! I feel that we were all just getting to know you—in fact; you were just beginning to get to know yourself, and now you're being taken away from us. I know I should be happy for you, but it's hard to do that when you're losing your best friend, and you don't understand why it has to be that way! Joey says "I guess there are some things we're not supposed to understand. Just look at me—I go through half my life not understanding what's going on!" He starts to cry, too, and then says "I knows that true friends may be hard to leave, but they're impossible to forget. And even though the Pharaoh's stay wasn't as long as we'd have liked, we're lucky we knew him at all." Atem thinks his thanks to Joey. Téa thinks goodbye to Atem, and good luck. As Atem starts again to walk towards the door, Joey calls out to the Pharaoh "I hate to break the news to you, but you're not going anywhere—because everything you've given us is staying right here in our hearts. Atem turns to him, smiling, and says, "Right!" Yugi adds, "Like we always say, it's your move!" Atem gives them "thumbs up" as he walks into the light. Everyone watches silently. Just as the Pharaoh steps through the door, his clothing and appearance change back to that of the ancient Pharaoh, and beyond him, his friends and family appear, waiting for him. The door begins to slide closed. Tea starts to run toward it, but Joey stops her with his hand on her shoulder. The door slams shut, and the Pharaoh is gone. Yugi tells the Pharaoh goodbye.
