eye on her," grinned Joey. He nudged Tristan. "Or two."
Atemu shrugged."So what? It was clear."
"Why?", Yugi asked blankly.
"Do you remember our 'Egypt trip'? I already saw her there. She is the White Dragon. So no wonder."
"How can a person be a monster?", Yugi and Joey shouted as if from one mouth. "Unless your name is Kaiba.", Tristan admitted. They all laughed except Atemu.
"It's not funny. I have to do three things now: convince Kaiba to help me; find out what exactly happened and free this Koribo. Are you there?"
"Sure, dude !!" they put their hands next to each other, as they did in the friendship oath. "But I still have one question," said Yugi. "I thought Koribo was male ?!"

Getting into the Kaiba Corp was not particularly difficult. It was just difficult to get out again.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Yugi gasped. He and Tea had a little trouble keeping up with him. Especially Yugi.
"Of course", Atemu replied without turning around.The longer they took, the more restless he became. He didn't want to wait any longer. He wanted to get out of this world, back into his own. But first he had to fix this. He walked past the people in the great hall to the elevator. There he waited for Yugi and Tea.
He didn't knock, he just went in.
"You wanted a rematch? Please as you like, here it comes." Kaiba looked up and narrowed his eyes, as always when he was angry.
"And that was so important that you had to burst into my office immediately and tell me," he said venomously.
"I ..." Atemu was about to explain when the door opened and a pile of files came in.
"Can I drop by, please, Yugi?" Asked the pile in the voice of Cisara. Yugi quickly stepped aside, knocking a cup off a table on the side.
"Oh no, please, please not again !!!", Kaiba groaned loudly and raised his hands to the ceiling, as if he were expecting help from there.When he noticed the surprised looks of the others, he quickly put on his pristine mine again.
"Are the cups that expensive?" Asked Tea, surprised. Cisara bent down to pick up the broken pieces.
"No, not that ... I'll be careful," Cisara said when she saw Kaiba's horrified look. "I ... we just had a little accident recently"
"And why did you rush in here now?", Kaiba asked to change the subject.
"Well we're going to do a little rescue operation, aren't we Cisara? We have to go to the realm of shadows and you will accompany us.", Atemu explained.
"Why should I?" Kaiba asked with mock interest.
"This is where the revenge comes into play. If I win, you come with us, if not ... you choose something."
"And what are you going to duel with, if I may ask? I don't see why I should lend you a deck again."
"He'll get mine," Yugi replied.
"We play without god cards," said Atemu "because of the equal opportunities"Kaiba snorted contemptuously. But he accepted. They made their way to the roof terrace, because there they would not disturb any of the numerous Kaiba employees.
"Go ahead.", Kaiba called and they began. It was like the last duel between them, barely noticeable. The moves followed in quick succession. The bursts of energy drove them further and further to the edge of the platform and they had to interrupt the duel a few times to avoid falling. Finally, both of them took the decisive blow. The life points dwindled and everyone waited eagerly, like in roulette, only for one thing: where would they stop? When the smoke cleared the result was clear.
"25 to 0 points. The winner is ...", the referee announced and looked confused between Yugi and Atemu. “The challenger,” he said finally, pointing to Atemu. Breathing heavily, he straightened up and looked at Kaiba. He too had straightened up. His monsters were still in front of him."That's not true," he gasped, holding up his dueling disc. "I still have one point of life."
Atemu smiled. It would have been too easy too. He knew Kaiba's trump card, but he also had one. However, he was worried about Cisara. Would she survive that?
"And I call the white dragon with an ice-cold look. Come out Blue Eyes !!"
He expected that. Rays of light burst from Cisara's body. The white man's scream rang out and she slumped with empty eyes. But the White Dragon appeared on the field and screamed again, so that blood froze in his veins.
"I haven't placed the card yet," Kaiba exclaimed in surprise.
"Then put it down, if that's that important," Atemu said angrily. He had the feeling that it was all taking too long. They had to hurry, even if he didn't know why.
“I'm attacking your face down card.” Atemu smirked.
"I expected that. And guess which one it is: Koribo. And guess which magic card is next to it that I'm about to activate ...""Neeeeeiiiiin !!!!!", Kaiba yelled.
"Yes," Atemu replied coldly. "the wall from Koribos protects my life points. Let's see which card I draw now ... look there: monster reanimation. I call back the chaos magician. Chaos magician attack !!!"
The White Dragon shattered and disappeared. With him Kaiba's last point of life. But he didn't seem to care. He immediately ran to Cisara. Atemu went to the middle of the field and picked up a small amulet. Then he followed Kaiba.
"Blue Eyes.", He said and put the amulet in Cisara's cold hands. A jerk went through her body and she opened her deep blue eyes.
"You have lost, Seto Kaiba and so you will come with me and do what I tell you."
"And what do you say when you may ask?" Kaiba said mockingly.
"Take your staff and follow me.", Atemu only replied. "which of you is still coming?"
The others looked at each other hesitantly.
"I'll go with you.", Cisara said and took hold of Kaiba's shoulder.Then she looked around questioningly for Mokuba. He stood next to her and nodded to Atemu.
"We'll come too," said Yugi.
"Which staff are you talking about, you nutcase?", Kaiba interjected and crossed her arms in front of her chest. Atemu pulled his backpack from his back and took out the millennium rod.
"Did you mean Marik's weird fiddle thing?" Kaiba sneered.
"Your weird fiddle thing.", Atemu said coolly. “And you will use it now too. Face me.” They put themselves back as they had been in the duel. Atemu raised his hands and the Millennium Items began to glow. The familiar purple cloud spread and brought them into the realm of shadows.
"Let's go," said Atemu.
"Off to the battle", Cisara muttered and grabbed Mokuba's hand.

"He's there Koribo, can you feel it?" The little shadow hissed excitedly.
"Yes, and all the shadows here can feel it too. It won't be easy.", Koribo muttered."Can you tell me where and how many are with him?"
"Hmm, seven. Cisara is there too. But where, I don't know." he shook himself. "That will cause trouble, but I'll help you anyway. And you'll see, you'll be out of here soon."
She frowned. "I hardly believe that. 7 Man for my release, if he doesn't even know me? No, there is something else behind it. And whatever it is, we will do our best to help." she turned and followed a narrow path.
"Come on. Then we just have to rely on our feelings to find them"
You just had to find it. Her strength dwindled ...

They made slow progress. It was difficult not to get lost in the fog and not to lose anyone. At the top came Atemu and Kaiba, followed by Mokuba and Cisara, followed by Tristan, Yugi, Joey and Tea.
"It's damn uncomfortable here if you ask me. According to my last memories, the insane part of Marik should still be around here, right?", Joey asked worried. Nobody answered him. Everyone was preoccupied with themselves. Cisara was very worried. The realm of shadows was great. How should they ever find Koribo? And besides, there was a dark presence that they lasted That worried her even more. The Pharaoh must have felt it before. He had no idea who Koribo was. Why should he have gone without knowing for whom? No, he had felt it and he knew something, what she didn't know. And Kaiba had no idea about any of this. He didn't believe in the shadows and in the fact that he was no longer in the Kaiba Corp. The technology and logic with which he thought had made him blind to that kind of danger. She didn't have to try to talk to him, he wouldn't get it.
"Cisara.", Atemu turned to face her. She drove out of her mind.
"Yes?"
"Do you have any idea where we are or where we have to go?" she shook her head."The realm of shadows is big. I am sure that Koribo senses that we are there and is looking for each other. But I think that doesn't make it easier because we are walking past each other."
"Can you feel their presence?"
"Yes."
“Then lead us.” She stepped forward next to Kaiba and Atemu went back to the others.
"What's all this fuss about?" Kaiba asked angrily.
"You don't want to understand it and that's why I won't explain it to you either.", She said as calmly as she could. Her whole body was trembling with fear. She wasn't as strong as Koribo. If this hadn't helped her, she wouldn't be here for a long time.
"I want to try, if you care that much.", Kaiba sighed. For a long time they walked through morass and dead landscapes. It lay there like a cemetery, so quiet and just as eerie, and they heard the whispering of the shadows before they saw the narrow path that led into a dark mountain range.
"We rest.", Atemu said and sat down on a stone."Don't we want to make a fire?" Asked Tea, worried.
"Try it."
When it got dark they all reprimanded as close together as possible. Only Kaiba sat aside and tried to sleep.
"So who is this Koribo?" Asked Yugi. Atemu didn't answer. he fell asleep sitting down. He sat there completely relaxed, as if all of this were perfectly normal.
"I think it's scary here," said Mokuba. "Where are we exactly? Realm of shadows. Sounds uncomfortable."
"It's hard to explain," said Tea and nudged Yugi. "You haven't said anything since we got here."
"All right. Well: the realm of shadows is actually not a real place, like dominoes or
