Lines by Téa 2
[thinking] I know this is what's best for the Pharaoh. He doesn't belong in this world. And now that he has his memory back, he can finally be free. But secretly, I keep hoping Yugi's gonna lose, so the Pharaoh has to stay.
Scenes with Téa 110
We'll both do our best, Joey. You, for your sister. And me, for my grandpa.
That's right. We'll do this together.
Look, the island!
That's the Duelist Kingdom. That's it. We're almost there.
I should have once again been engulfed by despair. But seeing you for that brief moment...
"...gave me more hope than I thought possible. Even though you were gone from my world, I knew there was still a way to reach your spirit, And I wouldn't rest till I found a way to bring you back And once again touch the flower that is your face And gaze into your eyes once more." [after the story finished] It goes on to say that later Pegasus got an inspiration. He found a way to combine Kaiba's virtual technology With the magic of Millennium items to restore Cecilia. But nothing about Yugi's grandpa or the Kaiba brothers.
[As Solomon, Yugi, Joey, Tristan and Tea walking back to the Game Shop]
[chuckles] So, you saved me, and became champion of the Duelist Kingdom, Yugi?
Well, I didn't do it alone, Grandpa. Everyone helped.
That's right, everybody pitched in, but he couldn't have done it without me! [laughing]
Well, then you've obviously improved since I last saw you duel.
Uh, not that much.
Yeah, a little!
a lot.
Grandpa, maybe you should go home and rest. You did just get out of the hospital, you know.
Don't be silly. I feel great! One, two, there, four. One, two... [?] Ohh!
[stocked] Grandpa!
Are you okay, Mr. Muto?
Just a little stiff, that's all.
How am I going to help the spirit figure out his past? I mean, I know a little bit about the Millennium Puzzle, but I'm not sure there's anything I can tell him about it that he doesn't already know. This is way too much pressure!
Ready or not, Spirit, this is where you take over.
[Shouting at the Millennium Puzzle] Hey Yugi... I'm not... you can't... this isn't a duel! [Sees Tea watching] Oh, hello.
[appearing out of nowhere] Looking for someone?
I thought I smelled a dung beetle!
That's my greeting after all this time? [laughs sinisterly]
You stole that little kid's cards, didn't you, worm-breath?!
I don't remember stealing any cards.
[cracking his knuckles] Well then, maybe I can help refresh your memory.
Tristan, wait. We'll settle this fair and square with a duel!
Be really careful, Joey. Remember when Weevil threw Yugi's Exodia cards off the boat to Duelist Island? This guy's a major cheater!
[laughing sinisterly] Careful where you point that finger, Téa. It might get bitten by one of my pets.
[disgusted] Gross!
Alright, let's do this!
That's fine with me, but we'll duel for two locator cards!
Two of them?
But if you lose both locator cards, you'll have no way of getting to the finals!
It's way too risky, Joey.
That's if even have two!
That's it!
Be careful, Joey!
Yugi squashed this creepy little bug the first time they squared off at Duelist Kingdom. Now I guess it's my turn to do the same! How many locator cards do you have?
Two!
Then once I step on you and take them both, plus your rarest card, I'll be personally responsible for your ugly mug out of the tournament! Just like Yugi did last time! [He and Weevil activate their duel disks] Let's do this!
It's time to duel!
First, I'll play… my Swordsman of Landstar in attack mode! Then I'll leave this little number facedown for later. Take your best shot!
Your "Swordsman" looks like he popped out of a toybox!
This toy's gonna slice and dice your hive!
Well, is that so? Not if I play a much more powerful Flying Kamakiri #1! Now my flying friend, attack! Crush his mini-monster!
Uh-uh. Watch this. It's my Shield and Sword magic card! It swaps the attack and defense points of both our monsters, making my Swordsman's attack strength a cut above your bug's!
[groans then laughs] Nice try! But when Flying Kamakiri #1 is sent to the graveyard, it automatically summons an even more powerful warrior to take its place! The dreaded Flying Kamakiri #2!
Flying Fish, attack my opponent's Life Points directly!
Go, Joey!
And now I'll place one card facedown and complete my turn. Feel the power of my sea deck! Mako Tsunami will show no mercy!
Fine. Who's asking you to?
For years, I have searched for my lost father in the open seas and I've used nothing but a small wooden fishing boat. Every time I battles the mighty ocean waters, I become stronger! And no matter how difficult I struggled, I have vowed to stop searching until I find him! I face my dueling opponents with the same determination and I fight every duel in honor of my father. I know in my heart we'll be reunited someday, but until that time… even though he's not right here, he continues to inspire me and give me strength!
Guess what? I got someone who inspires me like that also. My little sister, Serenity. And guess what else? I don't show any mercy, either, pal.
Then on with the duel, my friend!
Hey, Joey! Snap out of it! We're your friends, remember?!
Téa's right! I have an idea!
What is it?
I may have come up with a way to save Joey, and get us outta this mess!
What's that?
Well, it came to me when Tea reminded us of our friendship. There's a chance we can break through to the real Joey. I think you should let me duel in your place.
But why?
Because through thick and thin, Joey and I have always shared a really strong bond. A bond I think might break through to him now. We've been through so much together, like the time when he rescued me from that fire. Joey and Tristan risked their lives for me, and now it's my turn.
This is a very dangerous match, Yugi.
I know it is. But I can't let that stop me. I feel in my heart that if there's anyone in the world who can get through to Joey right now, it's me.
But, Yugi...
I'm ready to go in there and do whatever I have to do! Joey's my best friend and I know he'd do the exact same thing for me. Please understand, Yami. This isn't something I want to do, it's something I feel I have to do.
Well, Yugi, if you feel that strongly...Then go. Go and rescue your best friend and know that I will be right here should you need me.
OK, Joey, it's just us now!
What?! NO! I want the Pharaoh! Not this little runt! I want to defeat the ancient ruler! That spineless coward! He sent little Yugi to protect himself! You cheat! I want to destroy the Pharaoh! But then again, this may be just what I needed. I can win this duel with ease now that I'm up against little Yugi instead of the Pharaoh. And it doesn't really matter which one of them I defeat. I'll still win the Millennium Puzzle and Slifer the Sky Dragon!
[gasps and groans in pain] Oh, my arm... It hurts...
Bakura!
Bakura!
Are you okay?
Yugi, help me. I-I don't know where I am. What am I doing here in this duel? What happened to my arm?
It is him.
He's in pain. Without the spirit of the ring, he is weak. Therefore, you may wish to reconsider your attack. The devastation caused by Slifer the Sky Dragon could make your friend's condition even worse.
What?!
Would you risk the health of your friend?
Only a coward would do something like this to win a duel!
[growls] That's a cheap trick, Marik!
Bakura, hang in there!
Yugi!
[smirks] Well done, Odion. He'll never attack his pathetic, defenseless friend now.
[leaves] Master Marik always knows what's best. I must obey his commands.
I don't feel very well, Yugi.
I'll play Temple of the Kings-- a card like none you've ever seen!
What's going on? What's the deal with that building, Marik?
The structure behind me is the ancient temple of the Kings. Within this 5,000-year-old sanctuary lie the greatest treasures of the Kings of Egypt.
And what does that big shack do?
To protect the Kings' treasure, it limits the number of magic and trap cards you can play in one turn.
Aw, man.
And in front of the temple, I'll lay two cards facedown as an extra boundary of protection. And with this move, I end my turn. So try to attack me if you dare. You have no idea what danger lurks within these temple walls.
Marik hasn't even summoned one monster!
Come on, man.
Joey's Life Points are low, so he's got to protect himself. Marik may attack with his three serpents in his next turn, and Joey has to be ready!
Hey, guys, what Joey do to get rid of those gross things?
It's not easy. The first thing that boy has to do is keep his Life Points safe.
Your chances of victory have vanished. You'll never recover from the triple onslaught of my Embodiments of Apophis!
Oh, yeah? I'm gonna have to disagree with you. So take this. I place one card facedown and change Alligator's Sword from attack to defense mode.
That seems like a final desperate move to me.
Well, we'll just see. [thinking] As soon as Mr. Personality over here attacks me, I'll activate my Scapegoat magic card. It'll absorb the hits of all three of his slimy reptiles, leaving me safe and sound.
You're about to feel what real power can accomplish, Mr. Wheeler. Now, my three beasts, attack!
Joey, NO!
Marik, you're in for a surprise! Go, Scapegoat! My Scapegoats will absorb all three of your snake attacks!
Yeah!
Joey's smarter than I thought.
I see. Good move, but not good enough!
Eh?! What's that?
Observe, my Magic Jammer!
No way!
Bad news, guys. I'm afraid Marik's Magic Jammer trap card cancels out the effect of Joey's Scapegoat magic card.
That evil creep can't win this!
It's time to say farewell to your furry friends and hello to my serpents!
Then I'm toast!
Apophis, attack! Destroy Rocket Warrior and Alligator's Sword! Now, attack his Life Points directly!
JOEY!
[Joey falls to his knees as his Life Points drop down to 200]
Get up, pal!
He almost lost the rest of his Life Points!
You've lost all your monsters. And now, you're down to 200 Life Points. One more attack and it's over.
You can do this, Joey! You promised to help me defeat Marik. And if you win this duel, he's finished!
[thinking] Wrong, you fool! I'm Marik. And your friend's about to lose at the hands of my servant, Odion!
The end's near.
[thinking] This duel can't end until Marik plays his Egyptian God card! I must see it!
Let's go, potato head. What's the hold up?
This should hold you up. I play my Swords of Revealing Light!
Hey, what's the deal, Marik?!
That's not good. Marik's Swords of Revealing Light traps Joey's monsters for three whole turns.
But Joey can still win, right?
I hope so, but not attacking for three turns won't help.
That's true, Mai, but Joey can still sacrifice his monsters to summon stronger ones, and although his Jinzo can't attack, its special ability does remain in effect. That means Marik still can't use his trap cards.
Make your move.
Gladly. Here goes. I may not be able to attack, but I can still do this! I sacrifice my Battle Warrior in order to summon The Legendary Fisherman! [thinking] I know how much this card meant to you, Mako, and I promised you I'd use it well. [speaking] And before I end my turn, I'll switch all of my monsters to defense mode.
Something strange is going on up there, guys. Check out Marik. He looks really freaked out.
I think Téa's right. Ever since Marik drew his last card, he's been acting really strange. I wonder if it has something to do with that ancient temple behind him. When he first played Temple of the Kings, I had a bad feeling about that box at the top of the stairs-- the one with the Egyptian symbols on it. What could it be? For some weird reason, it seems familiar to me, but I'm not sure why. Be careful, Joey!
You don't scare me! I'll find a way to crush your oversized scorpion, Marik!
That would be quite an achievement, considering my Mystical Beast of Serket is more powerful than all three of your monsters, Mr. Wheeler. The only question is, which is the first one it should devour? And it's pointless for you to try and stop my ancient creature because there's not a card in your deck powerful enough to do it.
There must be someway he can fight back.
Don't ask me.
Hey, Yugi... My brother can still win this, right?
Yes. Even though Marik has the upper hand, Joey can still beat him. He just needs to find the weakness of Marik's mystical beast before it wipes out the rest of his Life Points.
What about the card locked inside the ark, the Winged Dragon of Ra?
Yes, that's Marik's Egyptian God card.
