Episode Originally Aired: December 1, 2001

(Previously <1:56>)

(Opening)

ACT 1 <2:57>

(A sparkling white blaze sizzles across the field <3:00> and strikes one of Yugi's four magical hats. Yugi ducks, then when the blaze recedes, straightens up with a smile.)
Yugi (Yami): Hm.
Ghost Kaiba: No! That hat was empty!

(On the ground beside the arena, Joey, Téa, and Tristan stand grouped toward Yugi's side, while Kemo, still gripping Mokuba's hand to keep him from running, stands toward the side of the duelist who is falsely calling himself Seto Kaiba.)
Joey: Ha-right! This could work!
Téa: It's *gotta* work.
Mokuba: Yugi'll beat that faker!

Yugi (Yami): Your guess was wrong. Guess wrong again and it will cost you!
(He places a facedown card)
Ghost Kaiba: Hunh?
Yugi (Yami): There are still three "Magical Hats" left on the field, and *one of them* holds a special surprise *just for you*. If you destroy the hat that hides my Dark Magician, you'll win this duel. Choose the *empty* one, and it's my turn again. But I'm betting you'll pick the hat that conceals the trap card I just put into play!
Ghost Kaiba: A trap card?!
Yugi (Yami): Now-- which hat will it be?

Joey: You're takin' a big gamble, Yugi!
Tristan: If he guesses right, it's over!

(Ghost Kaiba eyes the three hats; which one is he going to attack?)

ACT 2 <3:51>

Ghost Kaiba: Blue-Eyes White Dragon, attack the middle hat!
(The middle hat is obliterated in a stream of blinding white light. The air crackles where the hat once sat. The devious grin on Yugi's face clearly says that Ghost Kaiba made the wrong choice!) <4:00>
Yugi (Yami): Well, *now* you've done it-- activated my trap card, that is!
(The ground under the hat crackles more, and a shimmering design is glowing on the floor of the arena. The crackling electricity builds, and fires a burst at Blue-Eyes)
Yugi (Yami): "Spellbinding Circle"!
(When the sparking ball hits, it surrounds Blue-Eyes with a sort of dome of blueish fog. Ghost Kaiba growls under his breath.)
Yugi (Yami): A Blue-Eyes White Dragon is normally unstoppable; but once *drained* of its energy by the "Spellbinding Circle"...
(Blue-Eyes' strength has now decreased from 3000 to 2300.)
Yugi (Yami): ...It's no match for the *full* power of my Dark Magician!
(Dark Magician appears from the hat in the center of the field-- of the two, the one on Yugi's left-- and leaps into the air; his attack points are still at their full 2500. Blue-Eyes, trapped under the vale of blue, can't move. Dark Magician raises his staff high, and blows Blue-Eyes away, singlehandedly.)
Yugi (Yami): And that puts an end to your Blue-Eyes White Dragon.
(Yugi still has 1000 lifepoints, and he's coming back from the brink of losing. Ghost Kaiba's lifepoints fall to 500.)
Ghost Kaiba: Ugh...

Mokuba: Way to go, Yugi!!
(Kemo grabs Mokuba's shoulder, being sure to keep ahold of him)

(Suddenly another Blue-Eyes appears and lets forth a blast of blueish white light. Yugi is shocked; he can only shield his face as Dark Magician is obliterated. He's down to 500 lifepoints.)
[Blue-Eyes White Dragon 3000/2500//]

Tristan: Uh...
Joey: Whoa!
Tristan: *Another* one?! <5:00>

Ghost Kaiba: Heheheheheheheh! And that puts an end to your Dark Magician. There are only three Blue-Eyes White Dragon cards in the world and they're all in my deck; your grandpa had the fourth but I ripped it up. But how could I possibly know that, if I'm not really Seto Kaiba? You know, I couldn't believe it when you beat all three of my Blue-Eyes White Dragons with Exodia, but now without that monster in your deck, there's absolutely no way you can win; your move.

Mokuba: Everybody heard about your duel with Seto; that's how *this* loser knows about it! *That's not my brother*, Yugi! I'm *sure*!
(Yugi nods back, and turns to face the 'ghost' again.)

(Meanwhile, in a secret computer lab under the Kaiba Mansion's garden...)
Computer: I am now re-routing the data from Field One-Forty-Six at the Duelist Kingdom. After that, we'll be able to confirm if Yugi Muto is dueling there.
(Kaiba's computer screen shows a virtual hallway, and a door marked 146. Computer monitors are the only light in the room, uplighting his face with their pallid glow. He's wearing a headset.)
Kaiba: I'm sure he is. Now show me what you've got.
Computer: Here it comes-- we're in. Now downloading duel data. <6:00> (quick loading bar) You were right; Yugi Muto is in this duel.
Kaiba: Can you show it to me onscreen?
(The screen changes to show a diagram of the current duel. Text above the chart of the field reads, in blue, "YUGI MUTO"; in green, "VS"; and in red, "SETO KAIBA". The left-hand side of the field has Blue-Eyes in attack mode and Defense Paralysis faceup in the spell/trap zone. The right-hand side contains a monster card in attack mode and a card faceup in the spell/trap zone; this is an apparent continuity glitch, because Yugi currently has no cards in play. Next we see a diagram of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon hologram)
Computer: My pleasure. I think the part you'll find *most* interesting is the name of Yugi's *opponent*.
(Close in on the text "YUGI MUTO VS SETO KAIBA")
Kaiba: What?! Is this your idea of a *joke*?
(This new revelation has hit Kaiba hard; how dare an impostor challenge Yugi claiming to be him!)
Computer: I *never* joke. Sensors indicate that the opponent opposite Yugi is registered as Seto Kaiba-- and he's using your deck!
Kaiba: Pegasus must've *taken* my deck...
Computer: The duelists are tied, and the impostor has his second Blue-Eyes White Dragon on the field; Yugi defeated the first one using a combination of the Dark Magician and Magical Hats. He currently has five hundred points left, and no cards in play; it's his move.
Kaiba: But without... Exodia, Yugi can't win.

(As Kaiba speaks, Yugi stoically faces down the Blue-Eyes)
Kaiba (VO): He has no other cards left in his deck that can beat the Blue-Eyes White Dragon-- let alone *two* of them!

Computer: Well, then, I hope you have a plan.
Kaiba: Yes, but we've got to work *fast*. Yugi'll lose on the next attack from the Blue-Eyes White Dragon...

(As they speak, again, we cut away to the duel, as Ghost Kaiba waits menacingly for Yugi to make his move.) <7:00>
Kaiba (VO): ...Unless we decrease its power from *here*.
Computer: Can we *do* that?
Kaiba (VO): Oh, yeah. Upload a virus into that monster's holocomputer. That dragon is about to get sick-- *real* sick.

Computer: Standing by. But shouldn't we wait first to see Yugi's *next* move?
(A diagram of the Blue-Eyes appears on the small screen in front of Kaiba.)
Kaiba: We can't afford to risk Yugi losing the duel. Upload!
Computer: Viral injection underway.
(Lights start to flash on the screen.)

(Meanwhile, Yugi faces down the mighty Blue-Eyes White Dragon.)
Yugi (think): I don't have any monsters that can withstand his Blue-Eyes White Dragon. Ugh... this could be it...!
Ghost Kaiba: This duel is over, Yugi; I'm *sure* we'll be hearing the fat lady sing right after your turn. I still have Defense Paralysis active, so whatever monster you pick won't be able to defend itself.
Yugi (Yami): I choose the Feral Imp, in attack mode!
[Feral Imp 1300/1400//]

(A hologram diagnostic of Feral Imp appears on Kaiba's screen.)
Kaiba: I wish Yugi waited a few more seconds before moving! Isn't there anything you can do to get that computer virus uploaded faster?
(The screen shows a percentage counting up from 49% into the 50%'s, then 60%'s. Kaiba all but holds his breath, clenching his teeth, as he watches the number)
Computer: We're *already* halfway there. <8:00> This is as fast as it goes. Viral implant now at sixty percent; but it doesn't seem to be working.
(The screen shows Blue-Eyes' attack points-- still a solid 3000.)
Computer: The Blue-Eyes White Dragon is still showing no signs of weakness.
Kaiba (beginning to panic): Something is wrong!

Ghost Kaiba: Hahahaha, this is almost too *easy*.

Téa: Yugi!
Tristan: Hang on! Yugi can still win this!
Joey: Huh! Don't forget, he *beat* Kaiba last time!
Mokuba: Yugi...!

Ghost Kaiba: It's time, Blue-Eyes White Dragon-- attack!!
Yugi (Yami): Ugh! ...Huh?
(Blue-Eyes has begun to spring leaks; thin beams of light are shooting from under its scales, and the ground beneath it is glowing. The pixels phase in and out. It roars, confused.)
Ghost Kaiba: What're you waiting for?! Attack!

Computer: The virus is taking effect! Blue-Eyes White Dragon's attack power is beginning to drop.
(On Kaiba's screen, the Blue-Eyes diagram is overlaid with a fill of red, presumably representing the virus' spread. More importantly, the attack points are plummeting from 3000, down into the 2900's.)
Kaiba: But it's still too strong! It *has to get weaker*-- or it'll still beat Yugi!

(Meanwhile, Yugi watches Blue-Eyes' attack points suddenly plummet on the point totals on his duel console.)
Yugi (Yami): Wha--? I don't believe it!
Ghost Kaiba: What's going on?! My Blue-Eyes White Dragon!
(The pixels phase again, and Blue-Eyes' wings begin to melt, as though made of plastic and placed in an oven. It's streaming light from every direction.) <9:00>

(Yugi's friends watch in stunned awe; Mokuba all but cheers out loud, hardly daring to believe his eyes.)
Kemo: This is Kemo to Pegasus.

Kemo (via radio): I hope you're watching, sir, 'cause we got a real problem out here!
(Pegasus is indeed watching, on the monitor over his banquet table, with Croquet standing at his shoulder.)
Croquet: How did Yugi *do* that?
Pegasus: It wasn't *Yugi*, it was *Seto Kaiba*.
Croquet: How?!
Pegasus: It seems that the *real* Kaiba, is still very much alive.

(Meanwhile, Kaiba stands tensely at the console of his computers, anxious for his plan to work.)
Computer: The Blue-Eyes White Dragon's attack power is dropping rapidly. The virus implant is successfully disabling the monster completely.
Kaiba: Alright, now let's get to work on dragon number *three*.
(Kaiba's computer shows Blue-Eyes' attack to be in the 2400's.)
Computer: Standing by--
(Suddenly the picture on Kaiba's screens poleaxes, laced through with zigzaggy static.)
Kaiba: What's the matter?!
Computer: We've been locked out by a remote terminal; looks like *we've* been hacked!
Kaiba: Ugh!!
(Funny Bunny, a pink cartoon rabbit in red suspenders, walks out into the middle of Kaiba's big, poleaxed screen, immune to whatever crashed it, and starts dancing dopily and waving at him)
Funny Bunny: Hey, Kaiba! Hey, Kaiba! Hey, Kaiba! Hey, Kaiba!
(More and more overlapping Funny Bunnies appear, clowning across the frozen screens, mocking his fear at the fact that only one individual could be behind a hacking like this.)
Funny Bunnies: He-e-e-ey, Kaiba! Hey-y-y-y-y-y, Kaiba! He-y-y-y-y-y! Kaiba, Kaiba!
Kaiba: Ugh! It's Pegasus!
Funny Bunnies: Hey, Kaiba--

Pegasus: Hahmhmhmhmhmhmhm...
(Pegasus sits at the banquet table alone, and calmly swishes the red juice in his wineglass, then sips.)
Pegasus: Hmm...

(Meanwhile, on the grounds of the Kaiba Mansion, a squad of security guys in suits and mirrored sunglasses, with high-tech communication equipment, approach the front door like a SWAT team, throw open the door and rush the mansion.)
- Move in!
- On my mark... <10:00>
- Go!
- Cover me!
- Go, go, go, go!

(On Kaiba's screens, the Funny Bunnies freeze, then disappear; the screens are back to normal.)
Computer: Attack power is holding now at two thousand.
Kaiba: But this should've worked...!
Computer: The Blue-Eyes White Dragon is launching its attack.
Kaiba: No!!

(Even as its face begins to melt, Blue-Eyes prepares to breathe a fireball of crackling, blue-white mist.)
Ghost Kaiba: Now, Blue-Eyes White Dragon, time to obliterate them!!
(Yugi gasps, stricken; this is it!)

(Joey, Tristan, Téa, and Mokuba gasp and groan; is this the end?!)

(The staticking, fading, melting Blue-Eyes shoots forth a burst of white lightning.)

Kaiba: Ugh...! *YUGI!!*
(Kaiba pounds his fists on the console, in a moment of blind desperation, and his voice seems to echo.)

(Yugi's expression changes from bitter resignation to shock; somehow he *heard* that!)
Yugi (Yami): *Kaiba*...?!
(The blast approaches, enveloping Yugi in an ocean of white lightning...)

ACT 3 <10:32>

(The melting-Blue-Eyes prepares to attack...)

Kaiba: Ugh...!
(Kaiba pounds both fists on the computer desk, in a moment of blind desperation, and his voice seems to echo.)
Kaiba: YUGI...!!

(As Yugi faces down the attack, a golden eye suddenly lights up on his forehead.)
Yugi (Yami): Kaiba!
(The attack lets loose, then, having filled the air around Yugi, suddenly dissipates. The air is sparkling faintly; Feral Imp is unharmed, as is Yugi himself.)
Yugi: It stopped...! Ah...! The dragon...
(Blue-Eyes is now halfway melted away; we can almost see its bones. It's phasing and cutting out more every second. It glows brightly as though destroyed, and is gone.)
Ghost Kaiba: This can't be...! <11:03>

Joey: Wha... it's *gone*...!
Kemo: It's a *trick*!
Mokuba: Huh...?

Computer: The Blue-Eyes White Dragon is destroyed; but the virus was not responsible!
Kaiba: Then how? Did Yugi Muto somehow do this?
Computer: How *could* he? It *is* *your deck*.
Kaiba: It's the Heart of the Cards...! Yugi was right...! Huh?
(He has just heard a beep. The lock on the door flashes a red light. Someone on the other side is trying to get in. It flashes and beeps again.)

(On the other side, Pegasus' crack squad of goons from earlier has found the door behind the bookcase, and the suits are getting ready to bust through it.)

Ghost Kaiba: Why...?! Why me-e-e?!
Yugi (Yami): Why, because! Kaiba's still alive! *He* stopped you!
Ghost Kaiba: Silence! *I* *am* *Kaiba*!
Yugi (Yami, sharply): Enough! Your *charade* is over!

(Mokuba all but cheers)
Mokuba: My brother is alive!
Téa: What's going on?
Mokuba: It's like Yugi said. Last time Yugi dueled my brother, he showed Seto the Heart of the Cards! This *faker* may have taken his deck, but the real Seto Kaiba's alive and well!
Joey,Téa,and Tristan: Oh...

(Atop the red podium, the thing that had been calling itself Seto Kaiba seems to be having a nervous breakdown.)
Yugi (Yami): Impostor! The *real* Seto Kaiba destroyed that monster; <12:00> I know because I sensed him calling out to me when it happened. Now-- enough of your lies! We know you're not Kaiba! It's time for you to show us who you *really* are!
(The duelist opposite Yugi shudders all over, clutching his own head, then, lifts his head and raves out loud.)
Ghost Kaiba: I told you-- I *am* Kaiba!! Hahahahahahahaha! Or at least I'm part of him-- the darkest part!
(As he speaks, his arms swell and burst his sleeves, his chest expands and shreds the blue uniform-suit he was wearing, and his face and neck bulge and bubble, then finally burst apart, revealing a different persona entirely. This new character is bulbous and fat, with small eyes and a wide, toadlike mouth. His hair, what little of it there is, is pink, and sticks out from the side of his bald head like a clown's.)
Yugi (Yami): Ugh!
(The thing that recently pretended to be Kaiba laughs, his new voice repellent and harsh. He now wears a purple cape with a huge collar.)
Ghost Kaiba: Eheheheheheh-heh. I can see you don't recognize me, Yugi.

(Flashback. Yugi exerts some kind of power; something seems to shatter and crack off of Kaiba, and suddenly he looks more human, if no less shaken.
Ghost Kaiba (VO): I wasn't *lying* when I told you I was Seto Kaiba-- the *evil* part of him that you sent to the Shadow Realm after our last duel!
(End Flashback)

Ghost Kaiba: Now I'm back, thanks to Pegasus! Nyahahahahahaha!

Mokuba: You're not a part of my brother anymore!
Téa: Eeeww, it's hideous!
Joey: I always thought that this duel just might turn ugly-- but I never thought *that* ugly!! (thumbs-down)

(Meanwhile, the lock on the door to Kaiba's secret underground computer lab crackles with sparks, and the door slides open. Three of the goon squad are immediately across the threshold, ready for anything. The big screens show a snowstorm of static, and the room is empty. Kaiba has vanished. The goons groan, and relax. One speaks into a radio.)
- Sir, he got away. <13:00>

Croquet: Search the grounds. Everywhere.
(Croquet, still standing at Pegasus' back, is growling into the other radio.)
Pegasus: Hmm. It appears that young Yugi's nemesis, the *real* Seto Kaiba, has come to his rescue. I must admit that this little development is one twist that even *I* did not foresee!
Croquet: I have some bad news, sir. The real Kaiba has eluded us once again.

(Outside the Kaiba Mansion, gray-suited goons mill about, speaking urgently into radios and looking around. Inside the computer lab, the three goons stand staring at the blank screens and empty chairs.)
Croquet (VO): You were right; he was using a terminal in the Kaiba Mansion to access the Industrial Illusions mainframe. If I thought he was alive, I would've beefed up security.

Pegasus: That's two escapes, Croquet, must I lock *you* away? *Again*?
(Pegasus looks back up at the screen, which shows an aerial view of Duelist Kingdom, overlaid with eight different smaller images. The biggest of these is a live feed of Yugi's duel, and one must wonder how the camera is this close to Yugi without Yugi's having noticed. The other seven images are feeds or images of locations elsewhere on the island.)
Pegasus: Get me Kemo on the radio.

Mokuba: Hey ugly! If I were you, I'd start worrying about what my big brother's gonna do to you when he finally catches up to you!
(We hear Pegasus speak, and Kemo turns his head, as though listening; he probably has an earpiece that we don't see.)
Pegasus (via radio): Pegasus to Kemo. Seto Kaiba has gotten away. Don't lose the little one, no matter what!
Kemo: Understood.

Yugi (Yami): I guess I just don't know what to call you. I was thinking about 'monster'-- but I didn't want to insult the *cards!*
Ghost Kaiba: Hm.
Yugi (Yami): It's your move; you've got a whole deck to go through and only one Blue-Eyes White Dragon left. <14:00>
(The thing draws a card, looks at it)
Ghost Kaiba: Grappler in defense mode, ahahaha.
[Grappler 1300/1200//]
(Grappler is a purple sort of lizard warrior. It growls up at Yugi.)
Yugi (think): He's just biding his time until he draws his last Blue-Eyes. (aloud, Yami) It's my turn.
(Yugi looks at the Celtic Guardian monster card he just drew)
Yugi (think): I'd play this card in defense mode, but he's still got his Defense Paralysis card in play. So I can only attack. And with no defense, if he draws the Blue-Eyes White Dragon I'm *finished*! (aloud, Yami) I'll set one card on the field and draw the Celtic Guardian as well, in attack mode!
[Celtic Guardian 1400/1300//]
(Celtic Guardian is an armored elf, with pointy ears and purple markings on his cheeks. He wields a sword. As soon as he's summoned, he leaps high into the air, and brings down his sword; Grappler is slit in two.)
Yugi (Yami): Your Grappler's *split*!
Ghost Kaiba: Nyeh, parting is such sweet sorrow. Next up is Mystic Horseman in defense mode, and I'll lay one of my cards facedown *just like you*! <15:00>
(Yugi is keenly aware that he has only 500 lifepoints left and there's a new pitfall on the field.)
Yugi (think): Facedown? Is it a magic card, or is he setting a trap? (aloud, Yami) Again I'll play a card facedown, and I'll use the Mystical Elf, in attack mode. Plus, this "Book of Secret Arts" (magic card) will raise its attack *and* defense power by three hundred points!
[Mystical Elf 800/2000/L4/light]
(Mystical Elf appears on the field, a strawberry-blonde, light-blue-skinned maiden wearing a flowing, floor-length green dress, her hands clasped before her and eyes closed. She quietly sings her prayer in an elven tongue. With that powerup, she has 1100 atk and 2300 defense points.)
Yugi (Yami): My turn is over.
Ghost Kaiba: Patience, Yugi, for it will soon be *all* over! (think) Yugi has two cards facedown and three monsters. He must be trying to strengthen the Mystical Elf somehow to withstand my Mystic Horseman's attack. But if I draw the final Blue-Eyes and destroy *any one* of his monsters, that will take his lifepoints down to zero anyway. Eheheheheheheh!

Joey: I find it hard to *believe*, but I'm likin' the look on that guy's face even less than I did *before*!
Téa: Wipe that smile off his face, Yugi!
Mokuba: Loser! *Make your move*!! <16:00>

Ghost Kaiba: Hm hm hm hm, as you wish. (draws, gleeful) Ohh, prepare--
Yugi (Yami): Huh!
Ghost Kaiba: For the Blue-Eyes White Dragon!
(Indeed, he is holding up the third and final Blue-Eyes. It takes the field, roaring.)

Joey: Yugi!
Mokuba: Don't worry, Yugi! My brother will help out just like last time!
Kemo: Dream on!
Mokuba: Huh?
Kemo: Your luck's about to run out. Just see for yourself.
Joey, Tristan, Téa, Mokuba: Huh?
Kemo: *Unlike* the last Blue-Eyes, this one is at full power and your brother's in no position to do a thing *about* it! 'Cause we found where his hiding place is, and now he's on the run.
Tristan: So that means, Kaiba *is* alive?
Kemo: Dimwit. It means don't expect another miracle-- 'cause this duel's about to end!
(Mokuba tries to fight back tears-- but how can Yugi win now?!)
Mokuba: Ugh... Oh no!!

ACT 4 <16:49>

Ghost Kaiba: Nyah-hah, such a good dragon-- wouldn't you say, Yugi? This duel's about to end now-- go-o, White Lightning attack! <17:00>
Yugi (Yami): This duel's not over yet! Activate "Mirror Force", now!
(The blast strikes a prismatic shield that has appeared in front of Mystical Elf, and the shield shines with the contained blast.)
Ghost Kaiba: Whough! He's turned over a trap card!
Yugi (Yami): The Mirror Force reflects your attack right back at you!
Ghost Kaiba: Pretty good trick; but I'm ready with one of my own. I'll use "Negate Attack"!
(The bolts of light from MIrror Force seem to strike an invisible barrier in front of Blue-Eyes and vanish.)
Yugi (Yami): Huh! (think) He had a magic card waiting, just in case!
Ghost Kaiba: "Negate Attack" neutralizes any attack thrown at me-- *even if it's one of my own*.

Téa: Yugi!!
Mokuba (think): It's all over...

Yugi (Yami): Hmhmhmhm! It's time to finish this duel-- with Reborn the Monster (sic).
(This magic/spell card is more commonly known as "Monster Reborn")
Ghost Kaiba: Oh no! That allows you to revive any monster lost in this duel from *either deck*!
Yugi (Yami): I'm glad you know the rules, now guess which card I want. Be reborn-- Blue-Eyes White Dragon! <18:00>
(Blue-Eyes appears on Yugi's field, roaring and triumphant, in perfect health, its bluish-white scales gleaming.)
Ghost Kaiba (think): Aaaggh-haaahh... (aloud) Ouh, fat lot of good that move's gonna do you, Yugi; both of these monsters are evenly matched!
Yugi (Yami): Their powers are not the same.
Ghost Kaiba: Houugh!
Yugi (Yami): You forgot about my Mystical Elf. She's been chanting a spell since I put her on the field. It allows the Mystical Elf to transfer her own attack power, to any other monster I choose!
Ghost Kaiba: Whaaat, this can't be!
Yugi (Yami): This move was inspired by Seto Kaiba himself. He showed me that you can *alter* the attack power of a Blue-Eyes White Dragon. But I'm *raising* the power of mine, instead of *lowering* it like Kaiba did to *yours*.
(Blue-Eyes' new attack total is 4100)
Ghost Kaiba: This can't be happening! Oh no- no!
Yugi (Yami): Consider this a message from the *real* Seto Kaiba-- *YOU LOSE*!!!
Ghost Kaiba: Grrbl...!
Yugi (Yami): Now, Blue-Eyes-- Obliterate!!!! <19:00>
(Yugi's Blue-Eyes lets loose a torrent of crackling white lightning, carving a wide beam of destruction, singeing the air as it passes. The impostor's dragon is beaten down, obliterated, like a rock in a sandstorm.)

(The blast glows brighter and brighter, bleaching the landscape, turning the entire arena into a beacon, and the world seems to shake. Yugi's friends shield their eyes, fighting to stay standing.)

(In the center of the blaze, the false Kaiba's lifepoints sink to zero.)
Ghost Kaiba: Whoa-a-a-a-a-a!
(A symbol in the shape of an eye appears on Yugi's forehead, shimmering in multicolors.)
Yugi (Yami): Pegasus may've helped you escape the Shadow Realm once before, but it *won't* happen again-- *NEVER* again!!!
(Yugi extends a hand, exerting some unseen power, and, with one last exclamation of surprise, his opponent turns colors like a film negative, shatters, and is blown away into the bright yellow light. The presence that banished him is standing strong, silhouetted in the light as the wind whips at his jacket and hair, the Millennium Puzzle blazing against his chest, the multicolored eye shimmering on his forehead, and his eyes glowing pure white. He speaks.)
Yugi (Yami): Pegasus-- I sense that you're watching. Consider this a warning.

(Pegasus is indeed watching; the screen on which he had been watching the duel is pure white and lighting up his entire banquet hall. The voice of this powerful presence booms; it may be that only Pegasus can hear it.)
Yugi (Yami): Nothing you send against me will stop me; and when we finally duel, *believe* me, victory will be mine! I'll win back my grandfather's soul, and you will *pay* for all the people you've hurt in the name of your sick little game!

(As Yugi says this last, the wineglass in Pegasus' hand cracks, then shatters, shards and fruit juice flying everywhere.)
Yugi (Yami): I'm coming for you, Pegasus!!
(The screen cuts out. Pegasus looks down at his hand, still molded in the shape of the wineglass, then up at the screen. He is no longer pleasantly entertained. Once again, we glimpse the sinister villain behind the facade, and glimpse the golden Millennium Eye between locks of Pegasus' hair.)
Pegasus: Yugi, you've developed your shadow-powers quite a *bit*, in such a short time. But when we finally duel, believe *me*-- <20:00> your Millennium Puzzle will be *mine*! Mmhmhmhmhm!

(Back at Arena 146, as the yellow light evaporates, the red podium is empty, its lifepoint meter reading zero. Kaiba's deck sits in the deck zone on the console, Blue-Eyes on top. Yugi, having risen to the platform, gently picks it up, looking down at it sadly.)
Yugi (Yami): Kaiba...
Joey: That ghost is *toast*, huh, Yugi?
Tristan: I knew that the *real* Kaiba was alive the *whole time*!
Téa: Huh?
Joey and Tristan: Hm?
Joey: What is it?
Téa: That creep took Mokuba!
Joey and Tristan: Whoa!/Huh?
Yugi (Yami): Huh...! Mokuba!
(He looks around; Kemo and Mokuba are nowhere in sight.)
Téa: I can't believe it!
Yugi (Yami): Mokuba?! He's gone. Taken again.
Tristan: Oh, no...!
Joey: Hey, Mokuba!
Téa: Mokuba!
(Pan out from the field, across the bare, packed earth. They are the only ones anywhere near.)
