[ Translating ]

Yami Bakura appears in front of little Yugi and the others. He explains the rule of the duel to little Yugi. Each person obtains 40 cards in his deck. The deck represents images becoming monsters that each player has never known before. In other words, the player has no idea about his cards until he draws them. Besides, this is a shadow game, the loser has to sacrifice his life at the end of the game. Anzu sees that this game is too dangerous for little Yugi, trying to stop him. By the way, Jyonouchi asks Yami Bakura about Honda. Yami Bakura tells everybody that Honda has been his spy since he was implanted by his parasite. If people would like to get Honda back, little Yugi has to beat Yami Bakura first. Then the duel between little Yugi and Yami Bakura starts.

[ Yami Bakura]	The decks set into the disks contain 40 beforehand image cards that will be convert into materials. So, you don't know what they are until you draw them.
[ Little Yugi ]	The deck that represents images beforehand. Ah!
[ Yami Bakura]	Naturally, you had better prepare yourself. This is a shadow game. Whoever, whose LP runs out first, will lose his life.
[ Anzu ]	No, Yugi! This duel is too dangerous.
[ Jyonouchi ]	Wait a minute, Bakura! How is Honda?
[ Yami Bakura]	Honda? Hi! At that time, his body was implanted by my parasite. He has spied all of you since then.
[ Anzu ]	Is that so?
[ Jyonouchi ]	How dirty job you did! Give back Honda!
[ Yami Bakura]	Hi! He will return when you can defeat me in this duel. Hi Hi Hi!
[ Little Yugi ]	Honda-Kun
[ Yami Bakura]	Let's go, Yugi!
[ Little Yugi, Yami Bakura ]	Duel!

At Kuruelna village, the earth is shaking and everything starts collapsing because Zork is going to be revived. Hasan tells everybody to run away from this place as soon as possible. Isis turns back to see Karim disappearing into the ruins without concern that some ruin is also falling down on her. Suddenly, Black Magician Girl of Mana comes out to save Isis in time. Then everybody sees that the theif Bakura is flying into the sky with the stone tablet of Hades. He claims that people have nowhere else to escape and they have to end their lives here. Next, the body of the theif Bakura is disappearing and then combinding into the stone tablet of Hades. Yami Bakura declares that it is time for the revival of Zork. Red aura is launched from the stone tabet into the sky and then the stone tablet is broken. The millennium items are scattered away at the same time when flame is burning from the earth. Also, the body of Greatly Wicked God Zork Necrophidius (Daijyashin Zork) is appearing from the crack. Yami Bakura says that his character now is Zork that will become an enemy of the priests, destroy the world and burn human beings. Then Zork greets people that it has already waken from his long sleep. No one else can stop it. All living people will be burnt by its fire of hell. Suddenly, Zork launches its first attack, Zork Inferno which is in a form of fire ball straight to people. Thus, Hasan comes into the front to protect people from the giant flame. He tells people to let him handle this work here while people should go back to the royal palace to prepare for the protection. As a result, people start riding their horses back to the royal palace, leaving Hasan alone with Zork. Anyway, power of Zork is so tremendous that it makes such a strong hit to Hasan. Thus, Hasan can no longer block it, falling onto the ground.

Back to the Pharaoh's tomb, Yami Bakura tells little Yugi that Zork has already been revived into the earth. Yet, it can't come to attack people here because there is holy boundary surrounding this area. That means people can enjoy the duel without worry. Little Yugi sees that he has only one hope left when Zork was finally revived (Yami Yugi's real name) while the others try to cheer him up. In order to tell Yami Yugi the real name that little Yugi found out, little Yugi can't be defeated in this game. Then little Yugi starts his first turn. Drawing a card, he sets up a reversed card and faces down a monster in a defense mode. After that he ends his turn.

Turn comes to Yami Bakura. He does believe little Yugi can't beat him by that play. After drawing a card, he summons Death Calibre Knight (4/1900/1800) in an attack mode. Then he lets it attack little Yugi's defending monster at once. That monster of little Yugi shows its appearance, Marsh Melon (3/300/500). Suddenly, little Yugi activates specially reversed ability of Marsh Melon. It will take direct damage of 1000 points to the opponent. As a result, LP of Yami Bakura goes down to 3000 (4000-1000). Also, any normal attack can't destroy this monster. So, Marsh Melon can remain on the field and little Yugi gets no damage at all. Setting a reversed card, Yami Bakura ends his turn.

[ Yami Bakura]	Zork has finally appeared onto the earth.
[ Little Yugi ]	What!?
[ Yami Bakura]	Yes, the king tomb here is protected by holy boundary, so Zork can't come to attack here. Also, we can fully enjoy the duel here.
[ Anzu ]	Yugi!
[ Jyonouchi ]	Fight, don't lose!
[ Little Yugi ]	(Zork has finally been revived, so we have only final hope left. I must tell another I the real name that I have figured out. There is no other choice to seal Zork, so he can't be defeated here.)
[ Little Yugi starts the duel ]

After attacking Hasan, Zork starts walking toward the royal palace. Superia of Isis is looking after it and seeing that it is coming closer. So, Shimon tells people to hurry. At the same time, Pharaoh Yugi points Kaiba to see Zork walking passs. Kaiba has just seen the greatly wicked god that Yugi has ever told him before. Then Pharaoh turns back to see how Seto is. Seto says good bye to Kisara and hopes that she will lend him her power. Covering Kisara by his cloth, Seto gets up and calls Pharaoh that he is ready. So, Pharaoh asks what Kaiba intends to do next. Basically, Kaiba doesn't receive any people's direction, so Pharaoh lets him do whatever he wants. After that, Pharaoh and Seto ride a horse, going back to the royal palace. Kaiba walks toward Kisara and reminds himself of what she ever said to him at the street. Then he leaves there.

In the city, people are evacuating into the royal palace. Soldiers are preparing for fortresses and army forces. Then people feel glad to see that Pharaoh is still alive and is riding his horse back with the priest Seto. Also, the are also glad to see that Seto is okey now although the priest Akunadin was gone. Pharaoh Yugi tries to go on his order for his troop and army;however, he is too weak to carry on. Thus, he falls down on his knees and Seto comes to hold him up. Seto understands that Pharaoh has little Ba power left, so he asks Pharaoh let him handle this work. Besides, Seto would like to recover his reputation. Therefore, Pharaoh counts on Seto to lead the battle this time. Finally, Zork has arrived. Seto gives a command to his soldiers, letting them prepare for the whole army forces. No matter what, they have to protect this country and stop Zork although they have to sacrifice their lives. So, the soldiers seem to get fighting spirit for Pharaoh.

[ Pharaoh Yugi ]	Shimon, Shada!
[ Soldiers ]	Pharaoh has finally returned!
[ Shimon ]	Pharaoh!
[ Shada ]	Pharaoh! Are you safe?
[ Isis ]	Seto! You are safe!
[ Seto ]	Not really, I made you worried.
[ Shada ]	Akunadin-Sama?
[ Pharaoh Yugi ]	Akunadin already fell into ruin. (dead)
[ Shimon ]	What..?
[ Pharaoh Yugi ]	Seto is also okey now.
[ Seto ]	Pharaoh!
[ Pharaoh Yugi ]	Zork is coming to face us. Prepare...
[ Pharaoh falls down ]
[ Seto ]	Pharaoh! Pharaoh, you have little Ba remaining. So, let me handle this work here. Please let me recover my reputation.
[ Pharaoh Yugi ]	I count on you, Seto!
[ Seto ]	Ha!
[ Zork has finally arrived ]
[ A soldier ]	Here it come!
[ Seto ]	Prepare the whole army forces! Don't let it come in. Although we have to sacrifice our lives, we have to protect the country.
[ Soldiers ]	Hooo! For Pharaoh.

Return to the duel between little Yugi and Yami Bakura. Little Yugi is thinking about his new image deck. No matter what, he thinks that he won't give and will go back to save Yami Yugi with his real name. Then he draws a card in his turn.

Little Yugi faces down another reversed card, summonning Silent Swordman Level 0 (4/1000/1000) in an attack mode from his hand. Jyonouchi notices that he has never seen both Silent Swordman and Marsh Melon of little Yugi before. This is supposed to be newly original deck for little Yugi. Anyway, Yami Bakura doesn't understand what little Yugi is thinking about summonning such a weak monster again. Suddenly, little Yugi opens his reversed card, a magic card - Marsh Melon's Eyeglasses (Mashu Melon No Megane). The eyeglasses are attached to Death Calibre Knight of Yami Bakura. Little Yugi explains that the monster attached by this eyeglasses can't attack any monster other than Marsh Melon (Because any normal attack can't attack Marsh Melon, little Yugi is ensured that he will be safe from the normal strike of Death Calibre Knight). Then little Yugi ends his turn.

Defending Seal of Dead Spirits Shiryoo No Shubi Hooji Magic Card

Turn comes to Yami Bakura. Drawing a card, he gets a trap card, An Invitation of Earth Spirits (Jibakurei No Izanai). Then he plays a magic card, Defending Seal of Dead Spirits (Shiryoo No Shubi Hooji). This card affects Marsh Melon (300/500) to turn from the defending position into an attack position. So, Yami Bakura lets Death Calibre Knight attack Marsh Melon at once. Although Marsh Melon isn't destroyed by this normal attack, little Yugi has to lose a lot of LP. His LP goes down to 2400 (4000+300-1900). The Yami Bakura sets up his trap card, An Invitation of Earth Spirits, on the field, ending his turn.

At this moment, Zork is coming closer to the royal palace. Its dead spirits are destroying everything even plants that they are passing. Then the priest Setos orders his soldiers to shoot every army force at once. No matter how much Zork gets hit, it seems to get any effect and still comes closer. Yet, Seto still lets the soldiers go on shooting. So, this time, Zork counterattacks straight to the army forces. Many soldiers are strongly attacked and the fortresses are destroyed. Yami Yugi tries to tell Yami Bakura to stop this act. Yami Bakura lets Yami Yugi see that something is happenning to the real world. Many parts of the world are also attacked by disasters. So, Yami Bakura explains that the occurrance in this ultimate shadow game is linking to the actual world. Then the memory world will become the real world and everybody will be buried into darkness. Yami Yugi is very worried and thinks how he can stop the revival of Zork at this time.

[ Yami Yugi ]	What!? This is...
[ Yami Bakura]	Perhaps, the occurrance in this shadow game is linking to the real world.
[ Yami Yugi ]	What do you mean by that?
[ Yami Bakura]	This is what the ultimate shadow game is supposed to be. Even I can't predict what kind of its development is gonna be. Yet, it is favourable. Finding out the 8th key, your real name, I intend to revive Zork into the real world. When time passes, the memory world will be the real world. Then everybody will be buried into darkness Ha Ha Ha!
[ Yami Yugi ]	(What should I do not to let Zork revive again?)

Dead Dragon Zoma Shiryuu Zoma Trap Monster Card

Zork still attacks the army forces and the soldiers. At this moment, Domino City is getting strong attack by the storm and flood. Even Haga is so afraid that he calls his mother for help whilte Ryusaki is very scared of death. Only Yami Bakura seems to enjoy this destruction around the world. Although Yami Yugi feels very furious, he can do nothing else now. Back to the duel between Yami Bakura and little Yugi. In little Yugi's stand-by phase, when he draws a card, Silent Swordman grows up into level 1 with an attack power of 1500 points. This is a special ability of Silen Swordman that will be leveled up by 1 with 500 points in each turn. So, its attack points become 1500 (1000+500) with level 1 in this stand-by phase. Yami Bakura is amazed by the monster with development following time line. Although Silent Swordman has 1500 attack points, little Yugi understands that it still can't destroy Death Calibre Knight (1900) of Yami Bakura. So, he is continuing a new card in his battle phase. At this moment, Yami Bakura plays his faced down trap card, An Invitation of Earth Spirits. This card can be activated only during the opponent's battle phase, it can force a monster of the opponent to attack. As a result, Yami Bakura chooses Silent Swordman Level 1 of little Yugi. Continuously, Yami Bakura plays another faced down trap card. It is a trap monster, Dead Dragon Zoma (Shiryuu Zoma). When this trap monster is attacked, it can be twice powered up by the attack power of the opponent's monster and transformed into Acto Plasma which can directly attack the player. So, Yami Bakura forces Silent Swordman to attack Dead Dragon Zoma. At first, Jyonouchi doesn't understand why Yami Bakura didn't let Silent Swordman attack Death Calibre Knight instead. When Silent Swordman attacks Dead Dragon Zoma, Dead Dragon Zoma is transformed into

Acto Plasma with twice attack power of the attacking monster. Silent Swordman has 1500 attack points, so Acto Plasma has 3000 attack points (1500*2). Besides, Acto Plasma can directly attack little Yugi. Little Yugi has only 2400 LP remaining, so Yami Bakura is ensured that he will defeat him in this turn. This is trap combo to death.

Then Yami Bakura declares the attack of Acto Plasma (3000) to little Yugi (2400). Anzu and Jyonouchi are surprised whether little Yugi will be defeated here. Suddenly, little Yugi plays his magic card that makes Acto Plasma disappear. Yami Bakura is very shocked by what little Yugi is playing. It is a magic card, Time Jump, which can skip battle phase for three turns. As a result, the attack of Acto Plasma is invalid.

Silent Swordman Level 4 Monster Card

Also, when three turns have passed, Silent Swordmand is leveled up to 4 with attack power of 3000 (1500+500*3).

While Yami Bakura is still getting shocked, little Yugi lets Silent Swordman (3000) attack Death Calibre Knight (1900) at once by its Sword of Silence (Shinmoku No Tsurugi). Consequently, Yami Bakura's LP goes down to 1900 (3000+1900-3000). Next, little Yugi lets Marsh Melon (300) directly attack Yami Bakura. So, Yami Bakura's LP goes down again to 1600 (1900-300). Then little Yugi ends his turn. Jyonouchi is very impressed by little Yugi's great performance. Anzu thinks that little Yugi was always behind Yami Yugi in the duel. However, in order to save Yami Yugi, little Yugi is now fighting by his own power or by his own deck.

On the other side, Zork is still coming closer to the royal palace. Shimon is worried about that the world will be in darkness if Zork can't be defeated. Then Seto tells people to stand by their Ka. Mana summons Black Magician Girl, Isis stands by her Superia, Shada summons his Double Head Jackal Warrior and Seto calls out Dios. Suddenly, Double Head Jackal Warrior, Dios (Dios Aura Sword) and Black Magician Girl (Madouha - Mahado's attack) start attacking Zork together. Yet, Zork seems to get no damage. It launches its power straight to soldiers while Superia of Isis is coming out to protect people in time. Pharaoh is amazed by greatly destructive power of Zork. Suddenly, thunder is launched straight from the sky toward Pharaoh. Shada can save Pharaoh from the way but he has to pay by his life. Shada is glad to see that Pharaoh is safe before he dies. Yami Bakura also tells Yami Yugi to surrender because he has no chance to win. Pharaoh Yugi closes Shada's eyes and faces up against Zork. He wonders whether he has nothing left in his hands to beat Zork...
