Yugi croaked softly and looked at her out of his tearful eyes. "I'm going to call the ambulance ... It's better if he comes to the hospital," Yugi agreed.
Only ten minutes later, Yugi was standing alone in the kitchen. His tears weren't over when Danny came back into the room. "Yugi?" Asked an all too familiar voice. Yugi turned his gaze slightly and saw his likeness standing next to him. Yami looked at him sadly and tried to comfort him when she interrupted a voice. There was a hint of harshness in this: "Who is that? Your brother?" The two bright-haired people turned to the little one and Yugi said: "Why brother?" "Well, the one next to you ... who is that?" It came back slightly confused. Yugi looked at Yami and asked incredulously: “You see him?” Danny nodded and said: “Why shouldn't I be able to see him?” “Because he ... is a ghost” Danielle gave a short laugh and said: “Well that was a bad joke. So who is he? "Now Yami spoke up:" Yugi is right, I am ... "" Guys, I would have believed you the first time, but it gets boring after a while!", she interrupted him and looked from one to the other. Yami handed it and he came up to her. When he finally stood in front of her, he raised his hand and held it out to her. Danny tried to take it, but she reached nowhere . She looked at her hand in disbelief. Her eyes lifted and she stared at Yami. "Then ... that can't be ... is it really him? "Danny muttered absently." What? ", Yami asked confused, because he hadn't understood a word of it." Nothing, nothing ", Danny said quickly and turned around. Then she went into the hallway, where she leaned against the wall.
Yami and Yugi looked confused. "What was that now?", Yami asked and Yugi shook his head.
Then Yami switched to Yugi and the older one climbed the stairs. He stopped in front of Danny's door and looked at the wood. The door suddenly opened and Danny ran over Yami. He fell on his back and Danny on top of him. The little one turned a little red when she looked into his amethysts. "Um ... sorry, but you were just ... standing in the way," she muttered, propping herself on his chest. Then she got up and before she disappeared into the corridor, she turned around again briefly. "What are you going to do now?" Was her question. "I will go to the Kingdom of Duelists and save my grandfather," she got in reply. Then she just nodded and then said: "Then we will soon be rivals" "Why?", Asked Yami and Danny did not look into his eyes: "That is unimportant" Then she walked away and only appeared again late in the evening.
The tournament started a week later. During those seven days, Danny hadn't spoken much to Yugi or Yami. It seemed to Yugi that she had a secret. Then he spoke to her on the ship that brought her to the island. "Danny, can I talk to you for a minute?" He asked hesitantly when she asked him into the room. "Hm," Danielle just said, not looking up from the letter she had just received. "What's the matter with you? You haven't talked to me for a week," he addressed his problem directly. She still didn't take her eyes off the paper and just said harshly: "I didn't talk to you because there was no reason for me ..." Yugi was amazed at the tone in which she spoke to him. "But something's wrong with you," he tried again. Danny suddenly got up and pulled him to the door. "Yugi ... not all people on this earth are all peace, joy, pancakes!", She said harshly and slammed the door in his face. No sooner had she done that than she slipped down the door and couldn't hold back her tears. The letter from her best friends was blown to the ground next to Danny by a gust of wind ... It read:

Danny! ,
everything went wrong since you weren't here anymore!
He attacked again and around 20 people died! On top of that, your father got sick and the doctors can't find a way to help him!You have to come as soon as possible.
Timmy and Kari

The tournament went very well for Danny and Yugi, but they both went their separate ways. Yugi met Mai and many others during his duels. Danny beat one opponent after the other mercilessly and was the first to have the ten star chips that you needed to get into the castle of Pegasus completely. In the castle she was received personally by Pegasus. "Ahhh ... Danielle," he grinned at her, but he hesitated at the expression on her face. "What about you?" He asked confused, but Danny passed him over. Only this morning had she received a message that her father was now even worse off. Again and again they received requests from their best friends and their grandfather that she should come and help him. "Pegasus! I have to go home today!", She said sharply and looked coldly into his face. "That doesn't work! Then you will be disqualified!", He said quietly and looked at her worriedly. Danny got dizzy. Worrying about her father, worrying about Yugi's grandfather and the feeling of abandoning the 20 people who were killed hadn't let her sleep for the last few nights.
At the same moment Yugi stood in front of the door and showed the ten necessary star chips. Then the doors opened for him too. Joey, who had also participated, also had all ten chips in full.
Danny suddenly went black and she fell forward. Pegasus saw this and caught her. "Danny!" Yelled Yugi, who was standing in the doorway at that very moment. "What did you do to her?" Growled Joey. "I didn't do anything!", The silver-haired defended himself and carefully set Danielle down on the floor. “She just fell over!” The little girl was breathing heavily and the last letter she had received fell from her jacket pocket. Yugi picked it up and read aloud softly:

"Danny,
please come at last! Heracles is getting worse and worse! Only you can help him. What is stopping you from coming to us? Do you want him to die? Then you have nobody but me!
Robert "

Yugi paused. 'Is your father feeling bad? 'he thought to himself and reread the letter. 'Why does it say: Then you have nobody but me? 'His gaze wandered to her and Yami appeared next to him. He too had heard what Yugi had read and seemed to be thinking. He was able to approach Danny without being seen. 'Something's wrong with you,' he thought and looked her over carefully.
Danny was plagued by nightmares of seeing the reproachful faces of her friends and her grandfather Robert. "You let him down," someone else said. She started up and looked at Yami. This disappeared again in the millennium puzzle without saying a word to her. Then she looked at Yugi, who was still holding her letter in his hand. Her mouth fell open and she slowly got up. Then she leapt forward and snatched the letter away from him."Why did you ...?", She growled and it flickered in front of her eyes. She held her head lightly and took a deep breath to calm herself down.
Then she looked at Pegasus: “When do the finals start?” “Immediately”, was her answer. Then she nodded.
Then the first duels were held. Danny beat every opponent who came up against her until she ended up facing Yugi.
"I'm attacking your saber beetle with my black magician! With that you have also lost your last 100 life points!" "Good duel," the black-haired smiled weakly. Then she gathered up her cards and left the arena.
Only a few minutes later she stepped into the corridor behind it. There she was waiting for someone in particular. That someone came around the corner just minutes later. "You lost ... what a shame," grinned the man wearing the suit. He only got an angry look for that. "You know why I'm still here!" She hissed and his eyes narrowed. "If I had the chance, I shouldn't have made it for you!" Laughed Pegasus and pulled out a small package. He threw this to her and she caught it skillfully. "I only did this because I know who you really are!" He said urgently and looked at her seriously. "If you tell anyone, Anubis has something to do again!" She snarled. "I got it, thank you," the man grumbled and turned around. "Thank you," she called after him as he walked down the hall. "I liked doing it!" Was all she heard. But Yami was only one corridor further and had overheard everything. However, he drew the wrong conclusions:
"You had a deal with him?" He asked with a hint of sadness in his voice. The girl's eyes widened when she heard this. Immediately she turned on her heel and looked him in the eye. "You think the wrong thing now!", She began, but was interrupted by the bigger one: "What would have happened if you had won?" He was now almost yelling at her. "You got it wrong!", She said and her gaze turned to the floor. "What's wrong with that?" He asked. "Like you, I was kind of forced to take part here," Danny whispered and took a step towards him. Then she took the letter that had been in the package out of her pocket and threw it at his feet. "Read it and if you win we can talk again!" Was the last thing she said before turning around and running out of the castle as quickly as possible.
Immediately afterwards the duel between Yugi / Yami and Pegasus began, which the former won. As a result, the two not only freed his grandfather, but also Mokuba and Seto Kaiba, who were also captured by Pegasus.
Yami and Yugi read the letter and understood better why Danny was here. Yami really wanted to talk to her again and apologize. "Danny?"he called when they stood in front of the castle." What is it? ", asked a hoarse voice behind him and he turned around." I have to apologize to you ... I reacted wrongly, "the bright-haired explained to the smaller one." Oh? ", she asked with mockery in her voice and leaned against the wall. Her eyes were darkly rimmed and unusually clear. He handed the letter back to her and she turned around." I need my rest now ... we'll see each other again someday! ", she said goodbye and disappeared from view.
After that everyone flew back to Japan, except for Danny, who flew straight to Egypt.
