bold and italics are all Atem's line of thinking. The same as it was with Anzu and Satiah.

------------------------------------------

Yuugi. I'm sorry, but I cannot avoid this. If I didn't come, the results would have been unfavorable. Although you have proved to me that I belong in the afterlife, I . . . I couldn't stay.

"What is it?"

Something is wrong. I didn't want to jeopardize the gift you gave me, setting me free. You and the others did so much to help me.

"If something was wrong, then I'd be happy to help," Yuugi said. "What is it you need?"

I've already done it. On the other side, there is another Millennium Stone, alike in every way to the one that was on this side. Except, it had no millennium puzzle. It was shared between, creating a connection and a curse between the afterlife and the living world.

"So it's over?" Yuugi asked him. "Then, what's wrong?"

I don't understand everything, and I'm sorry for that. I have a deep feeling Zorc will not return, but . . . something is coming. I only know very little.

"Well, you can tell me what you know," Yuugi insisted.

Isis Ishtar, Marik Ishtar and Rishid are dead. I fear it's just a start.

Oh. "They just wanted to live free."

The movements and the actions being taken, people have gained an awareness of what is going on. There is something coming that is calling to the likes of the Blue-Eyes and the Dark Magician Girl.

Oh no! "They are actually here? In this world?" Damn. "There are some people after us," Yuugi confessed to him. "It got so bad, even Anzu came back to Japan."

Yes, I know, and I got here just in time. I have joined with you again.

"But?" There is no millennium puzzle. So how does this occur?

There is no separate attachment with the puzzle. There is no way for me to take over your body. There is no separate soul room. I am now in yours.

"Just like Satiah," Yuugi said. Oh yeah. "Satiah, the woman from the card."

I know about Satiah, Yuugi. It is a similar ordeal. Yuugi, this will affect us as well as our closest friends, according to Kaiba. I don't know how, except I have been here for hours, and am only now able to communicate. I was trapped in your soul room. Unable to feel, talk to you or get out. I had no perception of what was going on.

"Like the beginning, when we first joined," Yuugi noted. "Do you know how you break free?"

No. It was either this or be reborn. It would be years before I could help if that happened. If given the choice, I would rather wait as a spirit.

"Do you know anything else? What's supposed to happen to our friends?" Yuugi asked. "Anzu has a spirit. Who else is involved?"

Reincarnation of a Pharaoh who wielded the millennium puzzle takes a certain kind of luck. It would have been quite weird. No doubt Seto Kaiba would have told you.

"What?"

Having you as a father. Don't worry, I got back in time.

What? "Uh?"
