Three "Blue-Eyes White Dragons" leapt skyward and descended in unison onto Kisaragi's field, glaring at Pegasus with blazing fury.
Blue-Eyes White Dragon(3000 ATK / 2500 DEF) ×3
"How can this be…? Summoning three Blue-Eyes White Dragons all at once!" Pegasus staggered back, instinctively taking a step away.
"Pegasus," Kisaragi said, voice cold and unwavering, "for your selfish desires, you've been using the Millennium Eye to toy with people's hearts—stealing their souls and sealing them away… and you even did it to Kaiba. I will never forgive you."
"Go—Blue-Eyes White Dragons! Unleash your rage—Burst Stream of Destruction, Triple Volley!"
The three dragons roared as one. White light detonated from their jaws, converging toward Pegasus like an executioner's blade.
"No!!!"
Pegasus J. Crawford LP 3400 → 0
Kisaragi Aoi wins!
Outside the Duel Arena
"Kisaragi… she's okay, right?" Anzu asked anxiously.
"Of course," Jonouchi said firmly. "We've gotta believe in her!"
Dark Yugi's hand tightened around the Millennium Puzzle at his chest—ready to intervene if anything went wrong inside the Dark Game.
"No!!!"
Pegasus' scream tore out of the darkness, and everyone froze, their eyes snapping to the source of that howl.
Then the blackness began to peel away.
Kisaragi stood there—calm, unharmed.
Pegasus, meanwhile, lay slack-eyed, staring up at the ceiling like his mind had been hollowed out.
"Look… Pegasus' Life Points hit zero," Mai said, stunned.
"Then Kisaragi won!" Jonouchi burst out, grinning ear to ear.
"Yes!!"
"I… I lost…" Pegasus rasped, voice shaking. "I lost… inside the game I created…"
Yugi's group rushed downstairs and poured into the arena.
"Kisaragi—thank goodness! You finally beat Pegasus!" Anzu cried.
"Now everyone's souls can be released!" Dark Yugi said, relief flooding his expression.
"Yeah." Kisaragi turned, ready to force Pegasus to honor his promise—only to find the Duel machine empty.
"…He ran?" Kisaragi narrowed her eyes. "Pegasus escaped?"
"Where'd that bastard go?" Jonouchi snapped.
"What a coward!" Honda barked. "Hey—let's split up and find him!"
"Fine," Kisaragi said, but her tone sharpened. "Just don't go alone."
Then she paused—eyes sweeping the group.
"…Where's Bakura?"
Everyone exchanged looks.
"Wait—Bakura?"
"Yeah… where did he go?"
"We were so focused on Kisaragi's duel, we didn't even notice…"
"Maybe he went to the bathroom?"
Kisaragi's expression changed in an instant—like a switch had been flipped.
"Either way—we find Pegasus first. And remember: no solo moves."
They nodded and scattered through the castle.
Pegasus' Castle — An Attic Room
High in the castle's attic, Pegasus' private room awaited.
Pegasus stood before a table. On it lay several soul cards—Grandpa Muto, Seto Kaiba, Mokuba Kaiba.
"All this time, I've read countless minds with the Millennium Eye…" Pegasus murmured. "But a human body containing the spirit of a Duel Monster… so that is the power of a Duel Monster spirit…"
He activated the Millennium Eye again—releasing the souls sealed inside the cards. One by one, the cards turned blank and lifeless.
Then Pegasus walked to a massive oil painting.
A graceful, beautiful blonde woman smiled softly from the canvas. Pegasus gazed at her with pure devotion.
"Cecilia… was I wrong… about everything?"
A chill crawled up his spine.
A surge of malice—thick and foul—rose behind him.
Pegasus whipped around.
A figure stood by the window.
"What…?!"
Pegasus' body tensed as he stared at the intruder—a Millennium Ring hung at the figure's chest.
"You… you also wield dark power?" Pegasus demanded.
The figure stepped into the light.
It was Bakura—yet not Bakura.
Dark Bakura—the evil personality controlled by the Millennium Ring.
"So the Millennium Eye reads the hearts of others," Dark Bakura said with a grin. "But can you read your own future?"
"Heh heh heh… You can't possibly predict what's about to happen in this room."
He produced a deck of cards and strolled to the table.
"Let me do a little fortune-telling for you."
He shuffled, then laid out five cards: three in a horizontal line, and two placed above and below the middle card—like a cross.
Dark Bakura flipped the first card on the left.
"This card represents your birth… and your youth."
"Oh? 'Happy Lover.' You experienced a blissful romance… but it's reversed."
"That means your little love story ended in tragedy."
Pegasus' face twitched—his color draining.
"Looks like I hit the mark." Dark Bakura chuckled, then flipped the second card in the horizontal line.
"This card represents who you are right now."
"'Mask of Darkness.' Your status and actions—everything—are a mask to hide your true goal."
"You've taken a long, winding path just to reach what you want."
"And what you want is—"
"Shut up!" Pegasus roared, cutting him off. "Shut your mouth!"
Dark Bakura ignored him and casually flipped the third card.
"Well, well… we've got a card that screams misfortune."
"'Doma the Angel of Silence.' An angel who governs death."
"Once it sets its sights on you—there's no escaping death."
Dark Bakura's eyes sharpened, and the Millennium Ring pulsed—he was about to strike.
"Hold on." A cool, clear voice cut through the tension like steel.
"Isn't there still two cards left to flip? The ones above and below the 'present' card."
Kisaragi's voice.
Dark Bakura turned sharply.
"…You're—Kisaragi?!"
"Last time we met was in the forest a few days ago," Kisaragi said as she walked up to the table. "Looks like you still haven't learned your lesson."
She reached for the two remaining cards.
"Don't interfere!" Dark Bakura surged forward, the Millennium Ring flaring as he launched an attack.
"Miss Kisaragi—watch out!" Pegasus shouted.
Kisaragi didn't flinch.
"The one interfering… is you."
A presence surged behind her—vast, ancient, and furious.
The spirit of Blue-Eyes White Dragon manifested, intercepting Dark Bakura's strike and slamming him into the wall with a thunderous force.
Dark Bakura crumpled, stunned.
Kisaragi calmly turned back to the table.
"All right. Let's see what the cards actually say."
She flipped the upper card.
"Oh. 'Lucifer, the Light-Bringer.' Since it's above your 'present' card, it means someone will descend… and save you, Pegasus."
Pegasus' face loosened slightly—relief creeping in.
"And the method of saving you is—"
Kisaragi flipped the lower card.
"'Counter Punch.' Of course."
"Guess it really is… settled with fists."
She turned, staring straight at Dark Bakura.
Behind her, the Blue-Eyes spirit opened its jaws—white light gathering into a lethal sphere.
"N-no… don't—"
"Go back to the darkness where you belong."
"Burst Stream of Destruction!"
The spirit's blast crashed into Dark Bakura without mercy.
"Aaagh! Next time—next time I'll make you pay!!"
With that final curse, Dark Bakura vanished.
In his place stood Bakura's normal self—wide-eyed, confused, and trembling.
