"If this is going to be one of your sick games again, Noah, then I can tell you right away: You are wasting your time! I will certainly not get involved!" Kaiba faces his stepbrother with a grim expression. "Still the same stubborn and show-off from back then", Noah states calmly, "You really haven't changed a bit. But I didn't even accept that. You are far too self-righteous for that."
"If anyone here is self-righteous, then yes, you are," says Kaiba coolly, "The last time we met you made a lot of big tones, but as with all born failures, this ridiculous endeavor could only be done with one Defeat ends. "
Noah's face darkens. But Kaiba is not deterred by this. "You wanted to prove to your father that you are the better of the two of us, and you failed so miserably that it should actually be clear to you that you can never hold a candle to me, even if you still have a hundred years in this one the digital world.
"Back then I thought you were a spoiled sucker and nothing has changed until today. The fact that you brought me here again, no matter what the reason, only proves to me once more that you are the one are a pathetic, naive failure, whom I thought you were even then and who just can't see that I'm the better of the two of us, and our father sees it that way, you can rely on it! "
Noah's mine is stone. He stands in front of Kaiba with his arms crossed and looks down at him. "Are you finished now?", He finally asks calmly, "You seem to be really in love with your voice. Those smug speeches really got on my mind even then." "You are right!", Says Kaiba contemptuously, "Every further word to you is just a waste of breath!
"You probably feel particularly superior with this new outfit that you gave yourself. But basically you could have saved it. You were just a spoiled kid back then and still are today, no matter how old you are outwardly. "
Noah glares angrily at Kaiba. "Don't pretend! You know very well that I am exactly as old as you, Seto. This new technique only enables me to finally look as old as I really would be."
“While we're on the subject,” says Kaiba irritably, “I guess I owe you this ridiculous, humiliating image of myself.” He points to himself. A gleeful smile wraps around the corner of Noah's mouth. "Well, I admit I couldn't help but feel. How does it feel when your greatest rival is several heads taller than you are?"
Kaiba is cooking. “You're going to reverse it right away, do you understand?” “Oh Seto,” Noah says calmly, “Does that mean you don't enjoy being in the body of a five-year-old?"" No, I don't have any fun! ", Kaiba glares back," My past is behind me, and I really have no interest in seeing that change! "
"Really too stupid!", Says Noah, "Then you have to face your past without your interest in it." "If you try any mind games with me again, Noah, then you can be prepared for something now, Have I made myself clear? ", Kaiba threatens angrily," And now give me my normal appearance back, but suddenly! "
"Do it yourself!", Noah replies, slightly annoyed, "This technique reacts to your thoughts. The first time was just a demonstration. You can transform yourself back at any time. This program is really amazing!"
Kaiba stares at his brother with a grim look. Is he telling the truth? Can he bring himself back to his original form just by his imagination? It probably depends on a try. For a moment he concentrates. In his mind's eye he imagines his original form. Then he opens his eyes again. Now he is at eye level with Noah.
"Well, please, it works!", Says Noah, slightly amused, "I said this technology is amazing." "Cut out the stupid jokes!" Growls Kaiba, "But I would be interested in what you have to do with Gigatech-Enterprise . Have you been working for them lately or have you sneaked in and sneaked into their program? "
“You don't need to worry about this topic for the time being,” says Noah, “you should be much more interested in how I was able to escape the explosion at all.” “In fact, I've asked myself the question a couple of times,” says Kaiba scornfully, "And if you want to know exactly, I deeply regret this fact!"
"Tststs, my dear Seto", Noah rebukes slightly, "But that is not a very brotherly attitude that you represent." "Hmh! Brotherhood can be stolen from me!", Kaiba clarifies, "I don't need anything sentimental! "For a brief moment the superior smile of Noah's face fades. It seems like a trace of sadness settles on his mine. Then he gets serious again.
"Basically, I owe my survival to the fact that I was able to transfer my consciousness into the on-board computer of your airship at the last moment. This also kept me up to date on the further course of your little tournament. A really interesting twist on yours, oh! finally took such superior plans. It looks like you didn't even finish second. "
Kaiba looks to the side angrily: "I have now also finished with this past. This chapter of my life is behind me and therefore I see absolutely no reason to waste another idle word about it!"Then he looks challengingly at Noah:" Well, I think it's time you finally put out what you want from me with the language, so that we can end this ridiculous theater here as quickly as possible. Unlike you, I still have a company to manage. "
Noah looks at him in silence for a moment. Is Kaiba mistaken or is there a trace of sadness on his brother's face? Understandable, after all, he should slowly realize that Kaiba-Corp is now his and not his digital stepbrother. And whatever this little pants-shit is up to, there is no way he is going to let him run his company! He worked too long and too hard for that. And compassion is the last thing he has for this devious little bugger. No one will ever stand between him and his goals again!
Noah seems to hesitate for a long moment. He's just about to open his mouth to say something when he suddenly takes notice. The smile returns to his face. "Look at it!", He says, "I think we will have a visitor", and to Kaiba, "I think it would be better if I let you fidget a little longer. But don't worry, you will find out what I am about soon enough you want. "With these words, Noah's figure dissolves into digital pixels and disappears.
“Hey, wait!” Shouts Kaiba, “Come back immediately, you little coward! Tell me what's going on here!” At that moment the darkness receded around him and now reveals a long forest path that goes through one light deciduous forest leads. There is nobody to be seen but him far and wide. "Great!", Kaiba grumbles and finally starts to follow the path.

Desert! That is all that Yugi perceives around him. At least it seems so to him. After the first irritation has subsided, he begins to look around curiously. As far as his eyes can see, he only sees endless dunes stretching towards the horizon. A bright, blazing hot sun shines down on him and in a distance several small tornados curl up on the horizon.
"Phew! Where did we end up here?" Asks Yugi. This heat here feels amazingly real. "So that's not how I imagined it would be," he murmurs, "What does that mean?"
Suddenly the tornado warps and reveals a large, pointed building in the distance. "There is a pyramid!" He states with surprise. "Apparently this projection is supposed to represent Egypt", Yami suspects, "We should take a closer look at it." Yugi nods in agreement and marches off. The heat makes the hike through the dunes difficult, but he is well motivated.
Finally after a while he reaches the pyramid. When viewed from close up, the ancient monument appears smaller than it initially appears. It consists of many rough-hewn stones and directly in front of it there is a portal that appears to lead into the interior.Yugi approaches it hesitantly. "I guess we'll find our answers in there," he says.
At that moment, his Millennium Puzzle lights up and another person takes his place. With a confident step, albeit vigilant, Yami-Yugi enters the pyramid.
Inside there is a single large room lit by several torches. Many ancient hieroglyphs can be seen on the walls. They seem to come from ancient Egypt. A stone plinth can be seen in the middle of the room. Several notches can be seen in this base. The figure of a person was carved into the stone with fine engravings around these notches. The amazing thing, however, is that each of these notches reproduces the shape of one of the seven millennium objects. And in the middle there is a gold-colored counterpart in one of the notches: the millennium rod!
Yami looks at the base in astonishment. "If those are really the results of the analysis, then the Millennium Items really seem to be related," he thinks aloud. "But how do we find out what's behind it?" asks the voice of Yugi in him. Determined, Yami approaches the pedestal and wants to take out the millennium rod. But to his surprise, his fingers slide through the handle. The base, however, remains solid. "Strange!", He mumbles, "What does that mean?"
"It's very easy!", It suddenly sounds from behind him, "The Millennium Objects are so full of secrets and mysteries that it is simply impossible for a computer to analyze them completely, or even to represent them realistically." Startled, Yami turns around. In front of him he sees a well-known person.
“Noah!” He exclaims, stunned, “It's you, isn't it? But how can that be? Your virtual world has been destroyed!” Noah stands calmly in the entrance of the pyramid and looks over at him. "As you can see, I not only managed to survive, but also finally caught up with my real age." Now he approaches Yami-Yugi. "And what's even better," he says with a twinkle in his eyes, "I am now able toreturn the favorfor everything[/i]that happened back then."

"What, this crazy little weirdo is still alive?" shouts Jonouchi angrily. Up until now, he and his two friends have carefully followed each of Yugi's steps in the
