Battle 143: Battle of 0 Attack Strength!!

Yugi's group enters the Black Clown to find the two knocked-out
security guards.

Yugi's summoned monster is "Puzz" (0/700).  Otogi rolls and
attacks Yugi's DM, but Yugi uses Puzz's effect and it becomes a
shield (Defense 2100) to block the attack.  Yugi rolls, and turns
Puzz into a sword (Attack 2500) and attacks.  His DM destroys the
Ogre.  

Otogi sees no way to win.

Battle 144: Resistance

Bakura takes the Millennium Puzzle and gives it to Yugi.  Bakura
changes back to normal, oblivious as to where he is.

Otogi's father grabs the puzzle, puts it around Yugi's neck, and
drags him by it through a secret door to another room.  He throws
Yugi to the ground, and pegs the chain of the Puzzle to a stand,
while he tries to put it together.  As he does, he hallucinates
himself being caught in a maze of puzzle pieces, and panics,
knocking over a candle and setting a cloth on fire.

Jounouchi and company arrive in the game room, and try to open
the secret door.  Yugi tries to take the puzzle with him, but it
is pegged to the stand.

Battle 145: Chained Puzzle

Yugi and Otogi's father are caught in the fire and Jounouchi and
Honda try to force the door down.  They finally do, and they are
about to leave when they see that the puzzle is attached to the
stand.  They tell Yugi to leave, but he won't leave without the
puzzle and his other self.  Jounouchi tells the rest of the group
to get out of the Black Clown, and he will stay and protect Yugi.

Yugi puts the pieces together, and completes it, but falls
unconscious.  Jounouchi tries to get him to left go, but can't. 
He tries to force the puzzle off the stand, but the Other Yugi
communicates with him.  Using the board for a game in the room,
he forces the peg off and frees the puzzle.

The Black Clown is about to collapse when Jounouchi exits the
building, holding Yugi.

NOTE: This ends the D-D-D story arc.

Battle 146: Stones of Old

Jounouchi and Yugi are playing Magic and Wizards in the hospital
when an old man in the room notices the eye-symbol on Yugi's
puzzle.  He shows Yugi a newspaper that has a lady who has an
item that bears a similar mark.

That night at the Domino Museum, Seto arrives to meet a woman. 
Her name is Isis Ishtal.  She reveals to Seto the origins of
Magic and Wizards in Egypt, and how Pegasus adapted it.  She
shows Seto an ancient tablet depicting several cards.  

Battle 147: The Lost Cards

At that time, the games was used to decide the sixteenth Pharaoh
of Egypt.  However, the picture of Pharaoh that was decided was
gouged out of the tablet.  Seto sees a picture of Yugi on the
tablet, and is enraged beyond belief.  Isis tells him to look
closer, and Seto sees an image of himself as well on the tablet,
opposite Yugi.

She tells him about three legendary rare cards, which are at the
top of the tablet, surrounding the Millennium Puzzle.  Seto has
heard of that cards, that can physically affect its opponent.

Pegasus searched for those cards, without luck.  Two of the cards
were stolen by a group called the "Ghouls", the near-legendary
group of Rare Hunters, who hunt for rare cards.  Isis asks Seto
to retrieve all three of the cards, and return them to her.  Toi
help, she gives him one of the cards, "The God of Obelisk".  She
says that she believes in him.  He leaves, and as the card drives
away, he laughs.

Yugi and his other self have a talk at the top of the hospital,
about the time in which the puzzle's true nature will be
revealed, and all of the answers will be known.

Battle 148: The God Card

At the Kaiba Corporation Research and Development Center, Seto is
testing the new Duel Disk system against a computer.

The Computer starts with "Blue Eyes White Dragon" (8/3000/2500).
Seto then places a card, then places "Dark Sleeper Lucifer"
(4/1500/1800) in Defense mode, putting the Dragon to sleep.

The Computer then plays "Lord of Dragons" (4/1200/1100), negating
the effect of Lucifer.

Seto plays "Iron Golem" (5/1900/2200) in Defense mode.  The
Computer draws and plays "Dragon Calling Horn", playing all
Dragons from its hand.  The Computer now has all three Blue Eyes
out.  They attack, but Seto activates his "Attack Cancel" Trap,
preventing the attacks.

Seto draws and plays "God of Obelisk" (10/4000/4000).  He
sacrifices Lucifer and the Golem to it.  He attacks, destroys all
three Blue Eyes, and physically destroys the Computer.

Battle 149: Your Own Place

Yugi is getting on some accessories, his other self
congratulating him on getting a date with Anzu.  The date
actually isn't for the normal Yugi, but the Other Yugi.

Anzu is waiting for Yugi at the train station, and Yugi appears. 
Yugi is not impressed with the normal Yugi's setup.

At first Anzu plans to go somewhere, but they simply go to walk
around instead.  They stop in a game shop, and in Yugi's pack of
cards, he gets "Hand Sealing Sword of Light".  They then stop in
an arcade when Anzu soundly beats a guy at a dancing game.  They
stop at the museum, and Yugi sees the tablet.

Battle 150: Collecting People

Anzu and Yugi see the tablet, and Isis welcomes them.  She
explains the tablet, and that a new battle to determine the king
is starting.

They leave the museum to find Mai and several other Duelists
around.  Seto arrives and makes an announcement about a new
tournament.  That will be held in the city.

Battle 151: Rare Hunter!!

Malik is contemplating Seto's announcement in his headquarters.

At school, Yugi tells Jounouchi about the tournament, and the
ante rule that they will be using.  After school, they go to the
game shop to get the Duel Disk.  The worker checks the computer
and finds that Yugi is at the highest duel skill, level 8, and
gives him a Duel Disk.

Jounouchi on the other hand, has a level of 2.  However, the
worker sees that he has a Red Eyes Black Dragon, and quickly
changes his level to 5 to give him a Duel Disk.  As they leave,
the worker makes a phone call.

Jounouchi leaves Yugi's house during the night, and is challenged
by the Rare Hunter.  He accepts.

The Rare Hunter stats with "Hannibal Necrosavant" (4/1400/1800)
in Defense mode, and Jounouchi with the "Panther Warrior"
(4/2000/1600). Jounuchi attacks and destroys the Necrosavant.

Hunter plays a "Three Faced Gido" (4/1200/1400) in Defense mode,
then plays "Angel's Gift", drawing three cards and discarding
two.  Jounouchi attacks and destroys the Gido.

The Rare Hunter plays another Angel's Gift, then tells Jounouchi
that he has won.  He shows Jounouchi the five parts of Exodia
held in his hand.
