"Oh man, those millennium items again!" Anzu exclaims excitedly. She nervously chews on her fingernails, "I always get goose bumps when one of these things goes on its own." "Take it easy, Anzu!", Honda tries to calm her down, "It's just a holography and Yugi has it it will definitely be completely under control. Nothing will happen. Don't worry! "
"Hey guys!", Jonouchi intervenes, who has got up and has taken a look into the laboratory, "Come here and have a look at this!" They hurriedly comply with his request. But what they see astonishes them and at the same time worries them.
On the pedestal in the laboratory next door is still the real Millennium Staff and at that very moment a bright light emanates from it. The glaring glow that emanates from it and illuminates the equipment of the laboratory casts hard shadows on the walls. But most disturbing is the shimmering yellow aura that surrounds him at this moment.
"So much for holography," says Honda dryly. Jonouchi turns to his friends: "I think Anzu, you'd better worry! That doesn't look very promising." The three of them quickly take a seat in front of the monitor. For nothing in the world do they want to miss what happens next in cyberspace.

After the bright light has disappeared, the four of them open their eyes again. Kaiba looks around in disbelief. The room in his stepfather's mansion has changed, and significantly. Now you are in a huge hall with many, thick, high columns. There are countless ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs on the walls and the entire hall is lit exclusively by many large torches.
But what amazes him far more is the clothes he is now wearing. It is a long antique robe of artful texture and on the head an ornate headdress of a distinctly Egyptian style. "What ... what does all this mean?" He asks, but then his eyes fall on Yami-Yugi.
Yami is now also dressed in magnificent, Egyptian clothes and on his head he wears a majestic-looking metal browband. The millennium puzzle hangs around his neck on an elegant chain and he holds the millennium rod, which is still glowing, in one hand. His steadfast gaze is fixed on Kaiba and holds him captive.
"Yugi ... what is that about?" He wants to know, "What have you done to me? What do you think of simply changing my appearance?" "It wasn't me, Kaiba," says Yami calmly, "It was the power of the Millennium Staff that has transformed both of us into what has been our destiny for 5000 years. "" Don't be ridiculous! ", repels Kaiba," This is nothing more than a holoprojection, it has nothing to do with destiny ! "
"You are wrong!", Yami replies, "5000 years ago in ancient Egypt, we both met once before.Here in this hall we faced each other and fought for the fate of the world. "
“Ridiculous!” Snorts Kaiba, “These are nothing more than old fairy tales!” “They are not fairy tales,” says Yami, “These millennium objects hold an age-old power Battelcity Finals we both had the same vision. I'm sure you will remember it. "
"That was nothing more than a trick!", Kaiba dismissed, "A very cheap trick to mislead me." "That wasn't a trick." Yami's mine is serious. He walks slowly towards Kaiba, staff still in hand. "This vision was triggered by the Millennium Staff. It also contains ancient, magical powers. As in my puzzle. You saw it yourself.
"The Pharaoh and his rival the sorcerers, they both had the power of a Millennium Object. Even then they were fighting a battle on the outcome of which the fate of the world depended. And today this battle is repeated. If you continue to refuse the truth and by accepting your past, you are putting the security of the entire world at risk! "
Kaiba returned Yami's gaze with the same sharpness. "You should hear yourself, Yugi! You're clinging to a myth, don't you even notice? I saw the stone tablets too. It may be that the figures on the stone look somehow similar to us, but to believe that they whole thing is more than a legend ... Ipleaseyou! Finally wake up! It takes more than a simple holoprojection to rob me of my common sense. "
"This is more than a simple holoprojection," says Yami, "Maybe we are here in a virtual world, but the Millennium Staff ensures that only the truth remains here. Through its power, we see ourselves as we are in reality." "And should I buy the nonsense from you?", Kaiba crosses her arms. "If you don't believe me, take a look over there!" Yami asks him.
Kaiba follows the indicated direction. What he sees makes him pause in surprise. The other two are standing a few steps further. The contours of the fire princess flicker frighteningly. She fell to her knees and bowed her head. She seems extremely tense.
But when his gaze falls on Noah, his eyes widen, speechless. The entire appearance of the young man vibrates and flickers. Noah's face is contorted with pain and covered in sweat. He's shaking all over. Again and again its shape seems to warp and warp.
A warning shout from the Fire Princess echoes over to them: "Stay away from him! I feared that the power of the staff might be too strong. Under its influence we are no longer able to keep our desired shape. I had it warned that this could happen if he used the wand, but he wouldn't listen to me. "Now Yami is also worried and looks over at Noah vigilantly. "What is happening to him?" He wants to know, but the fire princess doubles up again. "I ... need all concentration ... for my projection. The program reacts ... to the thoughts and ... wishes. The staff ... cancels that and all that remains is ... the truth." Then she can't utter another word.
Kaiba and Yugi look worriedly at the distorted figure of Noah, who is apparently engaged in an inner, painful struggle. "What does that mean Noah?" Calls Kaiba. Noah's head jerks around. All of a sudden, grim hatred blazes in his eyes and his face turns into a grimace. But a fraction of a second later, the expression turns back into a suffering mine. "I ... can ... no longer ... suppress him!", He utters, "I ... can't take this ...! I'm sorry, Seto! Please ... help me! "
Kaiba critically observes what happens to Noah. Apparently he is still trying to defend himself against something. The flickering is getting stronger and stronger. "Do you see it now, Kaiba?", Yami yells, "The Millennium Staff has powers that exceed our normal understanding. And back in ancient Egypt you were its keeper. Finally stop denying your past! If that doesn't convince you yet, so what?"
The image of the winged dragon of Ra suddenly appears again in Kaiba's inner eye. Why can I read this Egyptian text? he wonders again. Yugi's story would explain the whole thing, but ... that can just be[i]impossible! Admitting that there could be some truth in the matter would upset his entire worldview. No, he will not give himself up under any circumstances! And right now he absolutely needs to keep his clear mind to himself. Too much has already made him brood today; Things he would have loved to have struck from his mind forever. But he won't let anything else upset him. That would be laughed at!
Kaiba turns around angrily: "I don't know what is happening here, and basically I don't want to know either. But it has nothing to do with magic, more to do with a software error." Then he takes a step towards Yami. "You mean I would be the guardian of this staff? I really wish I was, then I could take this thing now and finally put an end to the whole theater!" With these words he angrily grabs the millennium rod and with a quick grip it snaps him out of Yami's hand.
At exactly this moment the staff lights up again and the radiant aura immediately envelops Kaiba. "What the ...?" He says, aghast. At the same moment a groan can be heard from the fire princess and a loud scream can be heard from Noah.
Noah's figure now begins to distort completely. His body elongates and increases in mass.The ugly grimace returns to his face. Its green hair strives in all directions and its limbs become huge, reddish claws. His whole body looks like a huge bug and it is impossible to see where the clothes stop and his skin is hanging on. There is cold anger in his gaze and something hideously threatening has taken on his mine. He glares at Kaiba with glowing eyes.
For a moment Kaiba's mouth stands open in amazement and Yami also stares in disbelief at the huge figure in front of them. "What on earth is that?" Kaiba blurts out. Then the gruesome figure opens his mouth and says: "What then, Seto, don't you recognize me? You probably thought you got rid of me for good, you've tried often enough. But you should actually know that you can never get rid of me You will. "For a moment, Kaiba is startled, then his expression darkens. "Gozaburo!", He growls, "You wretched fellow! Obviously you are too incapable of killing yourself."
"Quite right, it's me. What is left of me. You took everything I had from me, but it will still be me who will ultimately triumph. With the help of this Millennium Staff I will be able to regain my former power. And not only that, my power will grow a lot with these magical millennium items! "
Contemptuously, Kaiba crosses her arms. "The last time I saw you, there was nothing more than a sick computer file left of you. You are nothing, and the pathetic rest of you are barely worth mentioning. I don't know how you got the blast survived, but I don't care. Do you seriously believe that you can still achieve anything in this state? Don't kid yourself! Kaiba-Corp is mine now and I'm the better leader for it anyway. A lousy virus like you, however, deserves only one treatment: it should be deleted as soon as possible! "
The distorted figure laughs out loud. "Do you think that would not have already happened if it were that easy? I cannot be erased. I am immortal! Although my miserable son tried everything to do something about it, he even lured you here, but I found it it is much more interesting to see that he brought your little
