[Yugi has used "Monster Reborn" to bring back "Flame Swordsman", which has Joey's soul trapped in it, back on the field]

Yami Bakura:
[coldly] You waste your time and your turns rescuing these foolish mortals.

Yami Yugi:
My friends are never a waste of time. Make your move.

Yami Bakura:
[chuckles] Oh, I'll move and you will lose. This is the play that will end the match and win me your Millenium Puzzle. First, I will play "The Lady of Faith" in attack mode and then the card that will turn your friends against one another... "The Change of Heart".

Yugi:
"The Change of Heart"? Isn't that Bakura's favourite card?

Yami Bakura:
And a very magical card it is. With this card I can turn you against your comrades. The very friends you sought to protect you will now destroy.

Yugi:
No, I refuse!

Yami Bakura:
You won't have a choice in the matter. "The Change of Heart" card allows me to control any opposing monster and I choose you, little Yugi.

Yami Yugi:
Leave the young one out of this!

Yami Bakura:
Why should I? By simply destroying him might defeat you as well. You're here to die and PROTECT HIM! THEN PROTECT HIM AGAINST THIS!

Yugi:
Uhh!

Tristan:
YUGI!

Joey:
YUGI!

Tea:
YUGI!

Yugi:
Uhh! Huh?

Joey:
It's Bakura!

Tea:
The real Bakura!

Yugi:
Bakura! So your soul was sealed into your favorite card, too!

Bakura:
[sighs] I want to help, but we must act quickly, Yugi.

[Bakura becomes "Lady of Faith".]

Bakura:
I've taken over one of his cards instead of yours.

Yugi:
Huh?

Yami Bakura:
Uhh!

Bakura:
I'll control her while you attack me. You can win against the evil Bakura.

Yugi:
I can't! I'd be destroying you, sending you to the graveyard.

Bakura:
I don't care it's better than being enslaved by an evil spirit. Do it!

Yami Bakura:
BE QUIET!

Yami Yugi:
I have a better idea. If the evil power of Bakura's Millennium Ring can pull souls from people, perhaps the power of my Millennium Puzzle can put them back.

Joey:
All right! Our Bakura's back where he belongs.

Tristan:
But where's the evil dude?

[Yami Bakura becomes "Lady of Faith".]

Yami Bakura:
Uhh! This can't be!

Yami Yugi:
Listen closely, Yugi. Use the power of the Dark Magician sent him to the graveyard now!

Yugi:
You got it, Dark magic attack!

[Yami Yugi defeats Yami Bakura and Yami Bakura gets sent to the card graveyard]

Yami Bakura:
Uhh! The Millenium Puzzle was almost mine!

[The Reaper of Cards approaches Yami Bakura]

Yami Bakura:
[screams in horror]

(The scene shows Yugi and Rebecca dueling)

Yugi:
Now listen to me, Rebecca. I'm only going to say this one more time, my grandpa didn't steal your Blue-Eyes White Dragon!

Rebecca:
(angrily) You're lying! He did! He did! He did steal it! It was my grandpa's favorite and your grandpa took it from him. You won't get away with this, you thieves!

Solomon:
Rebecca.

Rebecca:
Now what?

Solomon:
There's a story that you need to hear, Rebecca. It's the story of how I met your grandfather, Professor Arthur Hawkins and of the danger we faced together.

Rebecca:
In other words, more of your lies! Forget it!

Solomon:
No, it's true and be assured it's one of the most frightening experiences I have in my entire life.

Rebecca:
Humph. I'm so sure.

Solomon:
It happened years ago, but it's an adventure I'll never forget.

(In a flashback in Egypt)

Solomon:
I have traveled to Egypt to participate in an archaeological dig. A brand new discovery been made not far from the Great Pyramids. We all wondered what Ancient Egyptian secrets will soon be unearthed. The desert was hotter and drier than I expected. So it was fortunate that I soon made a friend.

(He tries to drink water but his carton is emptied and suddenly Arthur Hawkins decided to give him his water)

Arthur:
(handling his water carton) You look like you could use some cool water.

Solomon:
How could I thank you?

(He drinks the water and spit it out)

Solomon:
I guzzled it down a little too quick. But my new friend Professor Arthur Hawkins was just assumed my enthusiasm, he was a kind and very brilliant man.

(Back to the duel)

Solomon:
But in his field of archaeology, he was viewed as a extremely radical thinker.

Tea:
How come?

Solomon:
His theories, he believed that Duel Monsters may have played some mysterious part in Egyptian history. Am I'm right, Rebecca?

Rebecca:
Hmm...

Yugi:
I don't understand, Grandpa.

Solomon:
His studies of hieroglyphics, the ancient Egyptians' writing, kept turning up one particular word over and over again. And that one word was "Duel".

Tea:
Duel?

Yugi:
But why?

Solomon:
It was a mysterious.

(Arthur and Solomon are inside an ancient chamber)

Solomon:
Using duel as a keyword, he worked towards a new interpretation of Egyptian history. And he came into a astonishes conclusion.

Arthur:
It's here, my friend, in these hieroglyphs. "By the spirits of the River Nile, I combined magic and monsters to vanquish my enemy in our battle this day".

Solomon:
What on earth could that mean?

Arthur:
If I'm correct, it has to do with incredible contests in which ancient Egyptians participated. Contests with high stakes. I believe, duels.

Solomon:
What kind of duels?

Arthur:
I think you'll find the answer in that inscription, Solomon.

(Arthur hands out a deck of monster cards)

Arthur:
Look at this.

Solomon:
Duel Monster cards.

Arthur:
Now take a look at those ancient drawings.

(Solomon finds out that the monster card looks exactly the same like the one in the carving)

Solomon:
The images are nearly the same.

Arthur:
Which leads me to believe the Ancient Egyptians must have played the similar game to our own.

Solomon:
What an amazing discovery! When you present this to your fellow scholars, you'll revolutionize the field of Egyptology.

Arthur:
We shall see.

(Flashback ends)

Solomon:
But Arthur's colleagues ridiculed his theories and dismissed them his wild fantasy. Even in the face of such disbelieved, he bravely stood his ground and continued his difficult research into the ancient game of Duel Monsters. He invited me to join him in his work and I helped the best of I could. In time, he discovered a link between the game and the Millennium Items.

Yugi:
What kind of link?

Solomon:
It's still very mysterious, Yugi.

(Arthur and Solomon are in an ancient tomb)

Arthur:
The Ancient Egyptians didn't play this game for fun or money, Solomon. But rather for the power to rule the world.

Solomon:
How could that be?

Arthur:
The inscriptions tell of a place called the Shadow Realm where terrible monsters dwell and powerful warriors battled for dominion over the Earth. Apparently, the Ancient Egyptians actually played the game in that mysterious realm and the stakes are caught in this inscription with the fate of the Earth.
