[After Kaiba has received a vision of Kisara from the Millenium Rod, prompting him to change tactics in his duel against Ishizu]
KKaiba
Observe as I activate my Magic Card, Silent Doom… Which lets me summon a card from my graveyard. Gadget Soldier in Defense Mode!
[stunned; thinking] This isn't the future my Necklace predicted! Everything has changed!
KKaiba
Before I can summon my Blue-Eyes White Dragon, I must sacrifice two monsters. First this!
KKaiba
That's right! It's my Egyptian God card!
KKaiba
Hear me now! I won't be controlled! I decide my future! So now I sacrifice my monsters! You're so quiet, Ishizu. Where's your magic now? Or have you realized that there's no such thing as destiny?! Now observe as I summon my Blue-Eyes! [summons his Blue-Eyes White Dragon] Show yourself!
So somehow Kaiba was able to change the future, by summoning his Blue-Eyes White Dragon!
YMYami Marik
But how? What did he see?!
Ishizu [thinking] Something from Kaiba's past must have awakened inside him. For he was the ancient keeper of the Blue-Eyes.
KKaiba
Ishizu, if you could foresee all my moves, how did Blue-Eyes surprise you? Unless of course, you're nothing but a fake, as I suspected!
Ishizu [thinking; smiling] Soon he shall see the truth.
KKaiba
Time to finish you off now! Blue-Eyes White Dragon, attack! Wipe out her Life Points, with White Lightning Attack! Farewell. [Blue-Eyes White Dragon attacks Ishizu directly, dropping her Life Points down to zero, winning him the duel] Victory is mine! That's it!
The winner of this duel is Seto Kaiba!
All right! I knew that you were gonna win this duel all along, big brother!
YYugi
[thinking] That was insane! Marik's Millennium Rod must have shown Kaiba the secret to winning this duel! I bet it has something to do with the images on that ancient stone tablet. Kaiba's destiny is connected to the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, and I bet that's why he had to play it! Maybe now he'll believe in destiny!
MMarik
Just stand back and do as I say!
Silence! There's business to discuss first. I'll help you to reclaim your body but I have a price!
MMarik
Very well then. If we win the duel, I'll give you the Millennium Rod.
Sorry, Marik. That's our old deal. Now I need more. What's that I heard about you seeking the power of the Pharaoh? Is there a magic stronger than that of the seven Millennium Items that you haven't told me about? I want to know what secrets you're keeping from me, Marik. Tell me everything and we have a deal.
MMarik
If we win, I'll tell you all.
Then let's begin. I don't trust you at all but this time I know you need me.
You heard your better half, you fiend. Now prepare for a one-way trip to the Shadow Realm! [laughs]
YMYami Marik
Seems you're a bit confused. I'm going to bring the darkness of the Shadow Realm right here so it can consume you piece by piece! [laughs] Blackness, surround us! Prepare for a battle like no other! For in this duel, the eternal darkness of the Shadow Realm will slowly devour the loser as his life points diminish!
YMYami Marik
Just wait and see.
Very well. Let's duel! And now, let the destruction commence! [draws] I see the cards in my deck are already showing you no mercy.
YMYami Marik
[thinking] Mercy is for the weak, like you, my friend!
First off, I'll place this facedown. Then, I shall summon the terrifying Goblin Zombie in attack mode! Are you scared yet?
YMYami Marik
Ha! Scared of that? No! [draws] I'll place a card facedown, and summon Drillago! Attack him, NOW!
Fool! You've activated my trap card, Fearful Earthbound!
Yes, you're first mistake! Your first of many!
YMYami Marik
What the point of this?!
I knew you wouldn't be able to resist attacking my zombie, and now, I'm going to punish you for your fatal error by weakening your life points!
Sounds to me like you didn't draw what you needed. Fortunately, I can give you one more chance at it. That is, if you don't mind my help. Open Facedown card, Multiple Destruction!
YMYami Marik
What does that do?
My trap card forces both players to discard their hands to the graveyard, then let's us draw five new cards from our decks. Of course, there is a downside to playing this card. The duelist who uses it loses 100 life points for each card he throws away.
YMYami Marik
[thinking] Is this a trick?! Why is he destroying himself?!
Who's stalling now? It's your move.
YMYami Marik
Still no Winged Dragon! I've failed again!
YMYami Marik
Get ready to enter the darkness at the hands of Ra!
Don't you realize that I am the darkness!?
YMYami Marik
[Chuckles] What's that supposed to mean?
It's quite simple. It means I can't be destroyed! You haven't seen the last of me! [laughs evilly while his body disappears into the Shadow Realm, leaving only the Millenium Ring behind, which falls to the ground]
[Joey and Yami Marik's duel commences]
YMYami Marik
As you wish. I play Gil Garth in attack mode! Then I'll place one card facedown and end my turn!
I'll take it from here, ya nut case! [draws; thinking] I'm off to a bad start. His Gil Garth has 1800 attack points and none of my cards can beat it… yet. [speaking] I'll also place one card facedown. And then, I'll summon my Alligator's Sword in defense mode!
YMYami Marik
The time has come to take this duel to the next level!
Next level? I know where this is going.
[Shadow game blackness appears and surrounds the area]
YYugi
I was afraid Marik would do this!
This duel's now…a shadow game!
Show some originality, Marik!
YMYami Marik
The shadow's hunger for your mind, and your soul!
YMYami Marik
You've had your fun, but now… [draws] It's time for me to end all that with this! My Tribute Burial card!
YMYami Marik
Now I can bring one monster back from each of our graveyards and sacrifice them to summon an even stronger creature to drain whatever's left of your strength, Wheeler! Alligator's Sword, Gil Garth, I sacrifice you to summon this: The mighty Helpoemer! And I can assure you that this new monster of mine is more than he appears to be!
[thinking] What does he mean by that?! It's got the same strength as my Panther Warrior, unless it has a hidden ability. I gotta find out, or I'm done!
YMYami Marik
First, I'll place this card facedown on the field. And then, I'll activate this-- Premature Burial! This allows me to summon any monster that resides in the graveyard!
What are you bringin' back?!
YMYami Marik
Once I give up 800 of my Life Points, I shall revive Drillago from my card graveyard! But there's still more! Next, I sacrifice Drillago, so I can bring forth this card! [sacrifices Drillago and summons Legendary Fiend]
[horrified] What is that?!
YMYami Marik
I've summoned an unstoppable creature known as Legendary Fiend!
Wait, he's only got 1500 attack points!
YMYami Marik
You should know that things aren’t always what they appear to be!
YMYami Marik
My move! [draws] Just what I needed! I'm about to call forth an extremely powerful beast! It's an eight-star monster known as Lava Golem!
Slow down there, cowboy! You can't play a monster that strong without making a sacrifice first!
YMYami Marik
How perceptive of you! I have every intention of making a sacrifice! Lava Golem allows me to sacrifice two monsters on your side of the field!
YMYami Marik
Look on the bright side. I said Lava Golem stays on your side of the field!
[Lava Golem is summoned on Joey's side, destroying two of his monsters]
YMYami Marik
What's wrong? I thought you'd be pleased to receive a monster with 3,000 attack points, little Joey!
You mean, this thing is mine now?
[thinking] That monster may belong to Joey now, but it comes with a price!
Attention, everyone! In accordance with tournament rules, Joey is disqualified! So, the winner of this duel is Marik Ishtar!
[Mokuba and the others climb up on the dueling platform and circle around an unconscious Joey]
Let's get him downstairs right away! He needs to see a doctor now!
KKaiba
[thinking] I never thought Wheeler could withstand an attack but the most powerful Egyptian God card!
YMYami Marik
There goes another soul into the dark abyss of the Shadow Realm to wander the emptiness for eternity!
Joey! Come on, you gotta open your eyes!
Joey! It's me, Serenity! Please! Tell me you can hear me!
[shaking him in tears] YOU BETTER STOP KIDDING AROUND AND GET UP, MAN!
[with Queen's Knight, King's Knight and Jack's Knight on his side of the field] Thanks to you, I now have three monsters to sacrifice!
You can't play your Egyptian God card before I play mine! I've been in control of this duel from the start!
Not anymore. And now, I sacrifice all three of my monsters. Be gone, now! And next, I SUMMON MY EGYPTIAN GOD CARD, SLIFER THE SKY DRAGON! Stare into the face of defeat, Kaiba!
[looking out the window] Hey, guys, check it out!
Summoned by the hand of the Pharaoh, the first Egyptian God has arrived!
YMYami Marik
How unexpected. The Pharaoh brought forth Slifer before Kaiba summoned Obelisk!
And why not? I managed to summon one of Duel Monsters' most powerful creatures.
The power of our Egyptian God monsters is equal! But neither one will give up this fight!
KKaiba
You're right! It must be a holographic malfunction!
YMYami Marik
[thinking] It's the ultimate power struggle! These two Egyptian Gods have been pushed to their limits!
KKaiba
[thinking] What's going on?! That light is stronger than anything my machinery could produce!
This is where it all ends, Yugi! There's no way you can escape the devastation of my three Blue-Eyes! The moment I've been waiting for is finally here! [laughs]
YYugi
[thinking] I'm in major trouble! With three Blue-Eyes White Dragons, Kaiba could easily wipe out both of my monsters and the rest of my life points! What am I gonna do?!
YMYami Marik
[thinking] It looks like the end of the line for the Pharaoh. Which means Seto Kaiba will be the next casualty of the Shadow Realm!
Now, my three Blue-Eyes, attack! Finish him off and end this duel!
Once my dragons attack, this duel is over, Yugi!
Yep. The one and only, pal.
YYugi
I'm about to loose this duel!
Guess again, Yuge. It's like you always tell me, look closely and consider all your options.
Yup. I think you'll find a card that can save you.
YYugi
Let's see. He's right! There's still hope!
Nice try, Yugi, but you're no longer the top rank duelist! What?! It's Red-Eyes Black Dragon! Where did that come from?!
If you recall, you used your Flute of Summoning Dragon to summon your Blue-Eyes to the field, but you may have forgotten that your flute works on my hand, as well! So, I owe you a thank you, for bringing out this card, which is a gift from a very close friend of mine, Kaiba!
Sorry, Yugi, but you're still at a huge disadvantage in this duel!
Really? It looks to me like we both have two monsters on the field.
Perhaps, but my two Blue-Eyes are more powerful than either of your creatures! Now, I'll place two cards facedown! Your move, Yugi! [thinking] With these cards in place, Yugi will never escape!
[thinking] Kaiba's definitely up to something! But what? [speaking] We've got a long way to go, Kaiba! [draws Double Spell; thinking] This magic card could come in handy later, but for now, I have his two Blue-Eyes White Dragons to worry about! They could do some serious damage! So I have to protect my Life Points! [speaking] I'll place this facedown, then I'll switch my Red-Eyes Black Dragon into defense mode!
Not quite! I activate my trap card! [reveals his Final Attack Orders trap]
No, not that trap! It returns my Red-Eyes back to attack mode!
It's worse than that! As long as my Final Attack Orders trap card is in play, every monster on the field stays in attack mode! And next, we each choose any three cards we want in order to form a new deck, and the rest of our deck goes to the card graveyard!
YMYami Marik
[thinking] That means this duel comes to end in three more turns!
[thinking] These three cards are more than enough to ensure my victory! In a few short moments, I'll crush Yugi and reclaim my number one status! [speaking] Now then, you may as well give up and accept defeat now, Yugi, because my strategy is unstoppable!
YYugi
[thinking] I can only choose three of these cards to hold onto, and everything else goes away! My faith depends on this choice!
