Accepting our challenge was a huge mistake. When this double duel is over, you two will be banished to the Shadow Realm. Then we'll deliver both of your Egyptian God cards to Master Marik and he shall possess all three!
Wrong! We will prevail and you will release Mokuba and my friends!
Never! [draws] Just look at this. It's my Mask of the Accursed magic card. And once I place it on your monster, it will be rendered useless, Yugi! So try my mask on for size, Magnet Warrior! It's a perfect fit. As long as this mask stays on, your monster can't attack or defend! And that's not the only effect, Yugi. Until the mask comes off, you will lose 500 Life Points for every turn you take. You're finished!
[to Yami Yugi] I realized your magic card saved my Life Points, but next time, I'll do it myself!
Kaiba, if you ever expect to see Mokuba again, we need to help each other! Remember, the minute one of us falls, the other won't stand a chance against their unified tag team assault.
Are you questioning my skills as a duelist, Yugi?
I'm saying we must combine our forces in order to defeat these Rare Hunters. They duel as a team, building up one another's moves and we have to do the same! I saved you, and if you don't protect me the same way, I may not be around to save you again!
[thinking] Then good riddance.
First, I'll place one card facedown, then I'll summon Battle Ox in defense mode… to protect my Life Points.
You can't expect to win by hiding behind weak monsters. Our Shining Abyss has 2600 attack points. It can easily annihilate your Battle Ox and tear down your wall of fur balls, leaving your Life Points wide open! Right, Lumis?
Precisely, Umbra. Looks like you'll never see your friends again, not where you'll be going! But before I completely wipe out your Life Points, I must first demolish your defensive wall of miniature monsters. And I have just the magic card to do it. Another mask! Behold! My Mask of Dispel! It will cover your multiplying magic card and conceal its effect! So I'm afraid your Kuriboh army will be reduced back down to one! With your weak defenses crumbling, it's only a matter of time before we destroy you both! This was even easier than I thought, and I'm not through with you yet. Just like your Magnet Warrior's mask, with this in play, you lose 500 more Life Points every turn! [laughs sinisterly]
[thinking] Oh, no! With two of my cards covered by masks, I'll lose 1,000 Life Points every turn! If we don't figure out how to stop them soon, it's all over!
Next I'll summon my Grand Tiki Elder and rid the field of your Kuriboh!
Kaiba and I make a powerful team, and you two rare hunters are no match for combined strength of our decks! And when we prevail, you will lead us to where you are holding Mokuba and the others captive!
I think what my partner is trying to say is that thanks to my superior skills, you're finished! Right?
Don't tell me you're still stuck on this teamwork thing, Yugi. It's getting a little old. Listen up, here's the deal: I'll win this duel on my own, and if it's convenient for me, I might help you, but don't mistake that for teamwork, or you'll be very disappointed. I'm in this for Mokuba. Got it? And I will do whatever it takes to defeat these rare hunters and free my brother. I'm not about to lose. These fools don't realize no one disrespects my family and gets away with it.
This isn't only about you… my friends are in danger as well!
That's your problem, Yugi. I'm dueling for me!
But, Kaiba, you need my help, and I need yours! Lumis and Umbra still have the upper hand.
Your partner is right! You may have summoned your Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Kaiba, but it's still useless against the ultimate power of our Masked Beast! Our camouflaged creature has 200 more attack points than your pathetic dragon. As soon as it attacks, your Blue Eyes will be gone!
He's wrong, Kaiba! You can destroy their monster!
Look, if you want to win, you're going to have to trust me on this. Like it or not, we're a team. And if you attack them with your Blue-Eyes White Dragon, I promise I'll back you up. Trust me.
Okay, Umbra, let's teach these fools a lesson, shall we?
All right! I'm gonna play Rogue Doll!
Don't you think that you're just a little too old to be playing with dollies, Rare Hunter? Especially ones that have such lower attack points.
[under Marik's control; in distorted voice] Welcome.
MJMarik/Joey
Not exactly. Joey is not present. He's gone away.
MJMarik/Joey
That's correct. And if you want your friends back, you will listen to me.
What's going on? That sure doesn't sound like Joey.
KKaiba
It must be one of Marik's tricks.
Listen, Joey, you've got to be in there!
MJMarik/Joey
It's pointless. Now, you listen, Yugi. We are playing by my regulations. I'll release your pathetic friends as soon as I get what I want. Of course, since I want your Puzzle and Egyptian Gods card, there's only one way to do this. You and I are going to duel!
MJMarik/Joey
Refuse, and your friends are mine forever!
Release Joey from your control, Marik!
KKaiba
Well, Mokuba, it appears that this Marik was somehow able to turn Joey Wheeler against Yugi. Now Wheeler wants to duel. This should be interesting to say the very least.
KKaiba
Well, if Wheeler is fighting on the side of Marik and the Rare Hunters now, he may be holding the third Egyptian God card. [thinking] And I want that card in my deck, so if it's played, I want to be there.
It's time to seize the power that should have been mine all along!
[trying to get Joey to come to his senses] Joey, I know you can hear me! Your mind is under the control of Marik, and you must break free, understand?! The same Marik you vowed to help me crush! Think, Joey! You've got to remember your promise to me, when you gave me your Red-Eyes! Marik couldn't defeat me in a duel. So he decided to turn you against me, in order to win my Puzzle and my Egyptian God card. Joey, I know you're in there, and I'm going to set you free! Marik's power is feeble compared to the strength of our friendship. Please say something, Joey. Joey!
MJMarik/Joey
You'll never set him free, unless you follow me, Yugi.
Hey, Joey! Snap out of it! We're your friends, remember?!
YYugi
Téa's right! I have an idea!
YYugi
I may have come up with a way to save Joey, and get us outta this mess!
YYugi
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.
YYugi
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.
YYugi
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.
YYugi
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.
YYugi
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!
Yugi, this is getting too dangerous! I'm taking over!
YYugi
No! I can't let you, Yami! I need to do this myself.
YYugi
You have to trust me on this one 'cause I know I can save him. Since the day I solved the Millennium Puzzle, you've given hope, courage, and confidence. You even helped me to make new friends. But I can't go through my life depending on you. I need to know that even without the Millennium Puzzle I can still be on my own if I have to. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I can be like you without you.
[angrily calling out to Marik in determination] MARIK! You hide like a coward, but wherever you are, I know you can hear me, and I've got news for you! There will be a loser in this duel, but it's not who you're thinking! It's not me, and it's not Joey, either! It's you! Marik, you will lose this duel!
You may have thought you could force Joey to destroy me by taking over his mind, but it looks like there's something you didn't take into account when you made your plan! The strength of Joey's bond with his friends! Time may be running out, but Joey's back, and we're in control of this duel now! Your power over Joey has been removed! And I'd say that means... you LOSE!
That timer may run out, but since Joey is free, you can't be considered the winner of this duel! Get it?! Since you're not dueling anymore, how can you possibly win this duel!?
[groans lividly] YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS!!!
What does Yugi think he's doing?! That fool!
Hey, Yuge, I bet that Millennium Puzzle is back where it belongs.
That reminds me. I owe a big thanks to you too, Yami. You trusted me to handle this on my own. I could never have broken through to Joey if you didn't believe in me. You and I make a great team, but it's nice to know that I have the strength to hold my own if I have to. And you helped me find that strength inside myself.
Will you get a grip, please?!
[Solomon Muto tries to wake up Bakura at the hospital]
BAKURA! [Bakura wakes up, but is immediately taken over by Yami Bakura] Ooh. Thank goodness you're alright. You were shouting and tossing around.
[pretending to be the normal Bakura] I'm fine. It was only a nightmare.
Well, you've been through at lot. This will cheer you up. Yugi and Joey called while you were asleep and they've both qualified for the Battle City Tournament Finals.
[still pretending] Hmm... that is excellent news but I'm not surprised. Did they happen to mention where the finals are being held?
Oh? I was so excited by the news that I forgot to ask about that. Yep. I'm really proud of those boys, especially since only eight duelists can make it to the finals and to think I've trained to of 'em by myself. [Yami Bakura gets up from the bed] Wait, you must lie down!
You need rest and you haven't got your test results yet.
[angrily] BACK OFF, OLD MAN! [The Millenium Ring starts to shine]
I don't have time for this foolishness for my destiny awaits.
Who are you? [Yami Bakura laughs evilly while the power of the Millenium Ring makes him pass out] Ooh! No! Not again!
That ought hold him for a while. [grins evilly, while thinking] Now I must obtain six locator cards to qualify for the Battle City Finals, then I deliver my winnings to Marik and the greatest power of the world will be mine!
