Please read, review and I hope you are enjoying the story.

Bakura was glaring at everyone as his temper boiled up inside him. I was nice enough to let them play in my game world, as I was going to allow them all to live on as monster world miniatures. However they dared to rebel against me, the master of this world! Well no more playing nice. Death to all players minus the brat with the god item, seeing how I have no desire to mess with Anubis or his army of the dead! I will cast them all into eternal darkness!!!! Bakura thought in pure rage.

Bakura than heard the sounds of clicking again as he looked down to see his left hand was typing wildly on it's own. Not this again!!!!! Bakura thought in rage before looking at the computer screen to see what his host had written this time

I won't let you control me anymore!!

I'm going to help my friends

One way or another

My friends and I will strike you down!!!

I also won't allow you to kill any of my friends!!!

Another annoying message from my host. Shame my host doesn't understand that I have no intention of hurting the red haired dungeon master. However when my avatar Zorc, lost his left hand no thanks to a certain red head, It somehow caused my host Ryo Bakura's conciousness to creep from the depths from where I originally sealed him away allowing him to take control of my left hand. Bakura growled in annoyance before he suddenly smirked as he than moved his computer away from his left hand. However if I do this and place my computer to where my left hand can't reach it, Ryo will be powerless to stop me! Besides what can you do with just one hand!? Mahahahaaaah!

What in the world is going on with Bakura? I know he made some kind of miscalculation earlier...wait...perhaps that is the key, at destroying Zorc!!! Yami thought.

William still couldn't believe it or even begin to understand why he ate an eyeball. He still looked rather disturbed and sicken by what he did. However to his horror he found himself wanting more, which was starting to scare him. Why did I eat that eyeball?! Gah! What the he'll is wrong with me?!

"William, you sure you're okay?" Joey asked looking rather disturbed by the fact William had eaten the eyeball that he just pulled out of Zorc's face.

"I don't know...but to be honest I am rather hungry. I didn't eat breakfast or lunch today, but...The strangest thing is...I sort of want more." William said as he watched how all his friends and their two monster allies suddenly inched away from him in fear, when they caught a glimpse of his razor sharp nightmarish fangs.

"William, your not serious right?" Tea asked him nervously with a very disturbed expression on her fave.

"I am being dead serious." William said truthfully.

"If you need to eat anyone...eat Yugi." Tristan said as he gave Yugi a gentle push to slide him closer to William.

"Wait...What!? " Yugi freaked as William gave Tristan a rather dark look for even suggesting that.

"Yugi, relax...I have no intention of eating anyone." William grumbled.

"That's a relief..." Yugi said in relief before they all heard William's stomach growl. Feeling a bit evil William decided to play a little joke on his friends, even if it was a bit evil on his part.

"However maybe a tiny bite wouldn't hurt. Besides what is a few bites between friends, an I right?" William said with a evil glint in his eyes as he revealed all his fangs in full glory as he locked eyes on his friends who all stiffened in fear as they all took a few steps away from him. Seeing William scarring their friends Yami rolled his eyes as he reached down and used his finger to tap William hard on the head making him yelp. "Ow! I was just kidding about eating any one, Yami! Damn it, that hurt!" William spat as he rubbed his head.

"Behave yourself, Red. Besides you deserved it." Yami said.

"At...I mean Yami, you're no fun." William grumbled bitterly as he almost said the Pharaoh's true name. He was thankful that no one caught his little slip up of almost revealing the Pharaoh 's true name.

"When this is all over shall we play solitaire, William?" Yami asked in evil amusement. William gave Yami a very dark look as he flipped him off.

He sure as hell hasn't changed in the past five thousand years, still the same lovable knucklehead who I often wanted to kick his royal ass into next month, even though it was originally my job to keep him safe as the leader of the Madjai who were the Pharaoh's personal body guards. That was before I had to take over as the high priest of Anubis and the secret keeper to the book of Amun Ra, which gave me even more responsibilities to deal with all before my destiny was truly revealed. Wait...how the hell would I know anything about these things?! It's not like I knew him five thousand years ago or something, right? Gah! I must be going crazy or something! What the hell is wrong with my mind all of a sudden?!! I am not even from this dimension!!! William freaked inside his head as weird memories that clearly were not his own flashed before him.

"Solitaire?" Bakura asked in confusion as everyone seemed to be unaware of William's personal struggles within his own head.

"Well it's like this...William here, just really sucks at that game." Joey said with a snicker as William's right hand clenched tightly into a fist as he walked up to Joey from behind as his fist slammed downwards onto his head making him yell out in pain.

"You don't have to tell him that!!!" William snarled loudly in rage.

"How can someone be bad at that game?" Bakura asked blinking in confusion. Their was dead since as all eyes landed on William whose right eye was twitching in annoyance as he began snarling while his body shook with rage. Joey took shelter behind Yugi for protection as Yugi stared at him like he was crazy.

"You do not want to know, Bakura." William growled as he sent Yami and Joey the darkest look he could master. " And Wheeler, stop using Yugi as a human shield, whenever you piss me off!!! "

"Nope...because I know you won't do anything to hurt Yuge in order to get to me." Joey said.

"First time for everything, Wheeler...with the way I feel...I might just test your little theory on that. "William said a deadly serious voice making Yugi and Joey freaked as William held his scythe up so they could see their expressions being reflected on the surface of the razor sharp blade.

"William... " Yami warned.

"Fine...I'll murder Joey after we get back to normal...than hide the body somewhere where no one will ever be able to find his mutilated corpse." William stated as Joey stared wide eyed in fear of him .

"William! " Yami spat in warning. William rolled his eyes at this.

"Fine, ruin all my fun...I promise I won't hurt him...much." William grumbled under his breath.

"Now I'm a bit curious about his skills at solitaire." Bakura said blinking as he looked a little out of character in William's opinion.

"Can we please get back to the game at hand, and not talk about my bad skills at solitaire anymore!?" William spat in pure irritation.

"Very well. The death god strikes a perfect hit. His scythe's blade has taken out Zorc's left eye, where he eats it raising his hit points by one. Making his hit points 106. However his attack only lowered Zorc's hit points by a very small fraction."

"This sucks! No matter how many critical rolls we get, we can't do any real damage to this guy!" Joey growls.

"Joey, we are only level one characters, William is a level ten do to a special ability that allowed him to activate the death god's armor because of what race and class he choose. So naturally it makes sense that Zorc's defenses are much higher than ours." Yugi said softly.

Zork glares at all of the adventures. "Than how do we defeat him than?" Tea asked.

"Hey Will, got any ideas how to defeat Zorc?" Tristan asked.

"It's kind of hard to answer that question, Tristan...every monster has a weakness...you find it and you can easily destroy a monster that you may or may not normally have a snowball's chance in hell at winning against, regardless of the level of the player. However Yami is going to need to do something about restoring your hit points...I might be able to bring back the dead but...I can only revive a single player once per game. I need to be a level 46 or higher in order revive all players." William said softly with a frown on his face.

"Okay so what's Zorc's weakness?" Joey asked.

"Why are you asking me? I have no idea and I've been trying to figure Zorc out since he first appeared before us." William said frowning.

"Not good...if he is confusing you and you're the one with more experience with these types of games." Tristan said.

"Zorc is showing almost several different types of monster classes and from those classes their weaknesses vary upon the monster it self. I been trying to narrow the gap from over thousands of monsters from each class as well as the possible hybrid combinations between those several classes all the way down to one is not exactly easy, and don't even get me started on their stats and levels. Look if I mess up on the correct weakness it could cost all of us our lives, since the wrong move or judgement move could actually boost or make the creature stronger. The only thing we can do is wait and let things play out. Besides riding on a pray and sheer dumb luck." William explained with a serious exspression.

"Not good." Tea said.

"How many monsters are there in Dungeon and Dragons? " Yugi asked.

"Too many to actually keep track of since new monsters and game books are always coming out. Wish I had better answer to give ya. Rough estimate would be over thousands of different combinations and different types of monsters one could use for their game." William said frowning as he looked at Bakura.

William is right. The first thing I have to do is to restore everyone's hit points quickly. Thankfully Tea can use healing magic on her turn. However if Zorc attacks before her move, they'll be dead for sure. Yami thought to himself unaware Tea was thinking the same thing.

"Now according to the initiative scores Tea's magician goes next." Bakura said.

"We're saved!!!" Joey and Tristan cheered.

"Wait a minute guys...I been sort of keeping track of the scores in the far back of mind. If I am right, which I hope I miscalculated on...Zorc possibly tied with Tea's scores." William said looking concerned.

"Which means-? " Joey asked trailing off.

"Both players can attack or move at the same time on this turn. Which means the two players must roll a set of dice to determine who strikes first." William said with a deadly serious tone that was laced with deep concern.

"Say what now?! " Tristan and Joey yelled.

"Hahahaaaa! You would be accurate dungeon master, Zorc's scores did tie with Tea's. Which means the first attack will be decided by a dice roll! The both of us will now roll the dice, the one who rolls the closest to 00 goes first. If you win the initiative, the magician's healing magic can save everyone's lives! However if I win, zorc's next attack will kill them all. I hope that's fair enough for you, Yami. " Bakura laughed.

"I hate being right!!!" William spat.

"So do we!!" Joey and Tristan yelled. While Yugi as well as Tea looked deeply worried about this turn of events.

"Let's go!" Bakura said as he and Yami rolled their sets of dice at the same time.

Please let the dice be low. Since everything rides on this roll!!! Yami thought to himself.

Mahahahaaa! Victory shall be mine!!! The soul of one of my former players is sealed deep within these brainwashed dice!! They always roll a super critical! Bakura thought to himself as he laughed.

We have to believe in Yami. Yugi and his friends thought to them selves.

I know I am forgetting something important that is about to take place very soon...what the hell was it?! William thought to himself. Yami's dice than shows 09.

"Hahahaaa! A super critical, I win! It's game over!!! Prepare yourself!! Zorc moves faster than-" Bakura yelled.

"Hey Bakura! Take a good look at your dice, before you go celebrating a false victory!!! " William shouted in irritation as he cut Bakura off from his ranting.

"What?" Bakura asked.

"Are you blind Bakura? Take a good look at your own roll." Yami said with a smirk of amusement.

"What!? 20!!!" Bakura shouted as he stared down at his dice roll. Impossible!!! That can't be...how?!

"Like you said, the dice don't lie!!! I go first and I use my healing magic. The healing magic of Luona, which fully restores everyone's hit points!!!" Yami said as Tea casts the spell which fully heals and restores everyone's hit points.

"Alright Tea!" Joey and Tristan cheered.

"Tea did it!" Yugi laughed.

"I'm still hungry and I am feeling a bit light headed now." William said softly under his breath while frowning just as his stomach growled again since the healing magic had no real effect on him.

"Let me have full control...mortal." A cold voice whispeared in William's mind as a overwhelming unearthly aura washed over him. The voice held a power that made William's blood run as cold as ice. A feeling he knew better than anyone. The icey cold presence of death it self standing behind him. "Let me have full control...I am you...you are me...after all you hold part of my very soul deep within your own...let me finish this silly game, permanently."

No! I won't give you full control of me, I won't take the risk of endangering my friends! William shouted deep inside his head as fear gripped his heart.

"Very well...have It your way for now...but remember this boy. You can not avoid your destiny forever and there will be a time when you will call upon me...my power sleeps deep within your very body...until you have the two books as well as their key...you won't be able to fully master use my powers at their full potential but what powers you do have access too...use them only in dire situations.Be warned child, the longer you use those powers without the two books and the key. The higher the chance you risk decaying your own body and ending your very existance permanently upon this world. You are not allowed to die before your appointed time! I do not have another five thousand years to wait for your reincarnation again nor does this world, boy! Also be warned your past memories of your former life are slowly rising up to the surface...intertwined with my own personal memories of the past and future. Be careful or your mind will shatter into three if not possibly more pieces, that will cause you to go completely insane and the only way to keep you from loosing yourself to that madness would be to fully erase your memories for a second time. Remember you need the key and those two books, so they can help you fully master my powers and use them at their full potential without the risk of endangering your life or those around you." The voice growls softly before that unearthly aura leaves him alone.

What did he mean by erasing my memories for a second time? William wondered.Wait...does this have something to do with what happened a few years ago when-?!

"William, are you okay?" Yugi asked pulling William from his thoughts.

" Y-yeah...I'm good." William lied. Yugi could tell something was wrong but didn't press the issue.

Why the hell didn't the dice roll a critical!? Bakura wondered as he picks up his dice only to make a startling realization.Wait just a bloody moment here, these are just ordinary dice! These aren't my brain washed dice! So what the bloody hell happened to them!? I had them just moments ago!!! Where did my brainwashed dice disappeared to?! These fools are already at death's door, I suppose they win a short reprieve...for now. Bakura thought as his hand tightens into a fist around the dice. His face shows his pure frustration.

"William, You're rather pale...are you okay?" Tea asked in concern as she noticed how pale he was.

"Yeah...I'm okay." William lied before he glanced at his body only to see a bright soul piercing yellow wolf like eye that seemed to a have bright crimson red glow to it as it seemed to be looking right at him directly. His spirit looked at him briefly before closing his eye once more. My spirit is either being lazy or he's just waiting to strike. I might not know what is happening inside my own head right now, but I can tell my spirit has no desire to make his presence known yet. William thought in concern.

"The adventurers are healed but compared to Zorc, they are nothing more than microorganisms! Even at your maximum hit points, all of you will be blown to dust on Zorc's next turn! So get ready to die! For you see Zorc hits on 80 or less and if he hits all of you will take damage!! Than it's game over!!" Bakura yells. "Here I-" he trailed off as his left hand without any warning suddenly sends a pair of dice. What the hell?! My left hand threw the dice on it's own. Are those my brainwashed dice!?

"I won't let you control me any more!! I am done being controlled by you!!! I refuse to let you control me!!!" Roy's voice spoke to Bakura who snarled as he could hear Ryo's words to him echoing loudly inside his head.

That sorry son of a bitch!!! He was controlling my left hand in order to hide the brainwashed dice from me! Bakura thought in rage just as the number 99 appears.

"A fumble!!!" Tea yelled in surprise as Zorc screams as his own attack backfires as it does some serious damage to him causing his hit points to drop to 125.

"Awright!! Zorc blew himself up!!!" Joey, Tristan and Yugi cheered.

"Don't go celebrating just yet...something isn't right about this." William said softly as he narrowed his eyes.

Bakura snarled in rage as he gripped his left hand. "Urrrrgggfhhh!! Damn this blasted left hand of mine!!!" Bakura snarls as William's eyes widen in horror as memories of this game from both the anime and manga slammed into him. Which also triggered his past memories.

"Bakura, don't do it!!!!" William shouted only for everyone to stare in horror as Bakura slammed his hand through the Castle's tower point as it pierces straight through his left hand sending blood splattering everywhere. William winced as memories of when he stabbed his own hand repeatedly came rushing back to him along with a red hot burst of pure anger.

"Brother...why? Why are you doing this to yourself?! Why are you falling further into darkness as you allow that darkness to take complete control of you...is this all my fault? I'm so sorry. Forgive me. I should have been there for you so many years ago." The same voice William had been hearing since he ended up in this dimension said only this time it was filled with such sadness and pain. William glanced at his body and saw silent tears rolling down his face.

My spirit is the brother to the millennium ring? Does this mean I have another spirit resting deep within my item, other than the Egyptain Lord of the dead? William wonder besides the rage he felt for Bakura for hurting the spirit with his item, Ryo and even for hurting himself.

"Hahahahaaaa!!! How do you like that Ryo Bakura!? How does the durable poly-resin feel?!" Bakura laughs insanely.

What?! Did he just say Ryo Bakura? Yami wondered in confusion only to be startled as William lost his temper as he snarled so loudly in pure rage as he was making all the nightmarish fangs in his mouth show like a pissed off wolf ready to attack.

"So my hunch was right, you're not Ryo Bakura at all! You're the spirit within the Millennium Ring just like Yami is the spirit within the Millennium Puzzle!" William shouted as he growled in rage. Yami's eyes widen at that as Yugi and his friends.

"So the real Ryo Bakura really was our friend and this evil spirit simply stole his body!!!" Yugi, Joey, Tristan, and Tea all thought to themselves.

"Heheheheeh...you would be correct dungeon master. Next is the beast tamer...it's his turn to attack unless a certain death god wishes to steal his turn." Bakura said with an evil smirk.

"I'll pass...who knows I might take more than an eyeball next time." William snarled.

"Game master! The beast tamer will try his power on Zorc, the Lord of darkness!!!" Yami shouted.

"What the hell?! Your beast tamer's hand power is a magic ability to turn enemy monsters into allies! Do you honestly think that will work on Zorc?!" Bakura demanded.

"It's worth a try. Seeing how you stole our friend's body!" William spat at him.

We've figured it out! Our friend is trapped deep within Zorc!!! Yugi and his friends all thought.

"It's a useless effort. Zorc, would never become your ally, even if it meant the end of the world!" Bakura laughed.

"Yami, go for it anyway!!!" William shouted as Yami nodded.

"Go dice roll!!!" Yami yelled as he rolled the dice as the number 03 appears. "A critical!!! The training hand appears." Yami said as Yugi uses his magic causing a hand to appear as it moves towards Zorc.

"Fool! You have to raise your level to a million before you even think of making me an ally!!!! You'll...wait what?! " Zorc shouts only to make a loud startled noise as something appears to be coming out of his left arm.

Wh-what The bloody hell is going on!? How can this be happening!? A person is coming out of Zorc's left arm! Bakura thought as he watched as a being was pulled out of Zorc's left arm.

"Here take my hand!!!" Yugi yelled as his magic safely pulled the being closer to them before it set him down softly. The being was dressed in white hooded robes as he held a staff. "You...you're the real Ryo Bakura aren't you?" Yugi asked as he recognized the being.

"Thank you for saving me...everyone. I am the white wizard, A npc created by Ryo Bakura. Please allow me to join your party." He begged them.

"A level 13 wizard especially one trained in white magic would be a good thing to have in our party, right about now. I say yes. " William said with a knowing smile.

"Of course you can join us!" Tea and Yugi said.

"Alright we got a new party member!!!" Joey cheered.

"Let's defeat this body snatcher once and for all, besides destroying Zorc!!!" Tristan said firmly.

A white wizard created by my host?! Bakura thought to himself. "It's still your turn! The magic gunman goes next!" He spat out in anger.

"The gunman attacks as he takes aim and shoots Zorc!" Yami yells as he rolls the dice as 12 appears.

Zorc screams in pain as a large chunk of flesh is blown out of his right side. Everyone's eyes widen at that. "What the hell just happened to allow this much damage to be done?!" Joey asked with wide eyes as his friends stared in disbelief. William however didn't look all that surprised.

"As a ncp, I obey the will of the other game master, Ryo Bakura. I thought it might help...so I lowered Zorc's defenses with my white magic." Roy said with wide innocent filled smile while Yami smiled at this as did his friends. William shook his head as he smiled. "It is the least I can do. You all saved me from the darkness of Zorc's heart. Let me fight together with all of you this time."

"You got it. By the way...nice job on weakening the enemy." William stated making Ryo smile

He did what?! Son of a bitch!!! No! Bakura thought in rage. How the hell could Ryo Bakura have created a npc without me knowing about it, especially when his conciousness was buried deep within me!? Damn it!!!! How the bloody hell, did he thwart me this much? Zorc's defenses are down as his hit points are dropping. I will have to use my last resort!! I will show you all, no matter how many low level characters there are, you fools will never defeat the dark master!!! Bakura thought in pure anger.

I don't like that look Bakura is giving all of us. William thought as he tightened his grip on his scythe. Hmmm...I wonder if I can throw Bakura off his game a bit...after all anger does have a tendency of blinding a person.

Yugi glanced at William in concern as he saw how William's grip on his weapon had tightened. Ryo noticed this as well as he hesitantly laid a soft hand onto William's arm who slightly eased his grip on his weapon. Something is seriously wrong with William. Yugi thought to himself as he looked at Ryo who held the same concerned look as he was for William.

This game has reached it's final stage. The dark master most likely still has some tricks up his sleeve. If we let our guard down, all of my friends are as good as dead. Yami thought.

"This is the final stage...where only one shall live as the other one dies." William said softly just as Zorc suddenly began screaming as his body began changing it's form dramatic making it appear more terrifying looking.

"What's happening?!" Joey yelled.

"Damn it, Zorc is transforming into his true form!!" William yelled.

"Say what?!" Tea shouted.

"This is bad! Zorc's attacks and defenses both level up as well! " Ryo yells.

"Wait...what? Not good! " Joey and Tristan shouted at the same time.

"Fan-fucken-tastic...this is going to be a real bloody nightmare to deal with." William snarled as he took a defensive stance.

"Now it is Zorc's turn to attack!" Bakura laughed.

"So Zorc's concentrating all his energy into this one attack...and yet if he does that...he won't be able attack until his energy is full recharged. Risky gamble...you must be getting desperate to pull a stunt like that." William said frowning.

"That's the one thing I dislike about you dungeon master...you know how to get inside my head...and I want you out of it. " Bakura hissed.

"Takes evil to know evil...just like it takes a dungeon master to know another one...if you really want to play this game...I'll play...but be warned...you might not like the out come." William hissed so coldly that it sounded like someone else was speaking, and that someone held a unearthly aura or presence about them that would strike fear into one's heart.

Bakura felt the full force of that unearthly aura before his eyes widen in terror he saw three Anubis warriors standing silently behind Yami as they bared their fangs at him. One of them ran a claw finger across it's throat as a silent warning. One just simply pointed to it's eyes and than pointed at him. The last one just simply glared at him with a promise of death. Cold sweat ran down his face as he stared at them.

"Bakura?" Yami asked in confusion as Bakura's eyes blinked as the Anubis warriors vanished into thin air like they were never even there.

"Shut up Yami! And you, better hold your tongue...dungeon master! You don't know anything about me!!! " Bakura shouted. William felt his anger snap.

"Actually I do know more than you think I do...you are clearly angry, bitter and seeking revenge for whatever happened in the past. I might not know personally as to what had happen to you in the past, that most likely dates back to five thousand years ago in ancient Egypt...however you have the right to be angry for whatever fucked you up, before you ended up sealed away in that item...however taking that built up anger over the past five thousand years out on innocent people who have done nothing to you...that's no excuse for hurting those who are innocent. From what I can see from your actions it was in a way your dumb ass fault for allowing the darkness to play you like puppet in the first place, that resulted in you being sealed away!" William spat back at him.

"William...maybe you should stop antagonizing the crazy homicidal spirit..." Yugi said fearfully as Bakura's expression twisted into one of pure fury.

"Why...should I? Not my fault he can't handle the damn truth." William said coldly.

This is bad...I don't have time to raise everyone's defenses!! However what the hell is William doing?! Ryo thought to himself in fear.

Yami stares at William like he grew a second head. What are you up too, William...angering the spirit with the millennium ring is not the wisest of ideas.

Bakura snarls in rage before a sudden realization dawns on him. He than starts to laugh. "What is so funny Bakura?" William asked him.

"You are trying to piss me off in hopes that it will throw my game off..." Bakura said.

"Was worth a try...but I'm not taking back what I said." William said.

"I'm starting to like you, even beginning to respect you just a tiny bit, and yet I really want to rip you apart, limb from limb. " Bakura said.

"That's a bit of a creepy fetish...look you need help, preferably help from a psychologist." William stated.

"Coming from a guy who ate an eyeball a whim?" Bakura asked him with a smug smirk.

"That was a bit below the belt." William grumbled bitterly.

"Enough talking...it's time to end this game...Go dice roll." Bakura snarled as he rolls the dice as 00 appeared.

"Super critical!?" Yugi and Yami yelled in horror as Zorc's chest opens up revealing an eye like symbol that glows brightly before a firey blast is unleashed towards them.

"White magic! Shining shield level 13!" Ryo yelled as his staff glowed creating a wall of magic that was there to act like a shield against Zorc's attack. William growled as he went to help Ryo.

"Black magic! Skeleton wall level 10!!!" William yelled as he swung his scythe around before making the tip of the blade hit the ground as a wall of skeletons shot up out of the ground behind Ryo's magical shield as an extra form of protection which startled everyone. Ryo gave William a startled look as he smirked at him. "I'm a thief remember? I can steal a player's attack turn...you might be a npc but your still seen as a player, so why not give ya a helping hand?" William said with an evil smirk just as Zorc's firey attack slams into their sheilds.

No!!!! Yami thought in horror.

White wizard and death god, how long can your magical sheilds last against Zorc's firey attack? Bakura wondered to himself.

"Hang in there everyone!!!" Joey and Tristan yelled in pain. Yugi and Tea were wincing in pain as the firey attack brushes against all of them.

I am going to run out of magic energy...I'll have to convert my hit points to magic points!!! Ryo thought to himself as his hit points dropped to 1.

William closed his eyes as they opened with a determined gleam. "Black magic, Skeleton wall level forty three!!!!" William than shouted startling everyone as his shield became stronger.

"W-what are you doing?! " Ryo asked in horror.

"Cutting my hit points in half to level my Skelton shield up even further." William hissed as his hit points drop to 53. The attack comes to an end as Ryo nearly collapsed to the ground but William prevents him from falling by catching him. "I got ya...Ryo."

"Ryo...William... You both risked your lives to protect us and yet we all took a lot of damage..." Joey said.

"Don't worry...next time I'll-" Tea started before she trailed off when she saw William's expression.

"Tea...whatever magic points you have, use all of that energy into your attack this turn. Ryo doesn't have enough power to protect all of us again and I highly doubt I will be able to protect everyone with my skeleton shield." William said softly. "I know you want to heal us, but don't do it. You need to focus on attacking Zorc on this turn."

"He's right Tea...look if we don't finish Zorc off this turn...we will all be destroyed!!!" Ryo said.

"If we gotta die, than we all die together!!!" Joey said.

William's eyes widen as a strange memory came back to him as it showed three Egyptain guards who each had a strange identical tattoo like symbol on their upper left arms. The middle guard strongly resembled Joey only with long black hair and red eyes that turned to face him, he wore Egyptian armor only a commander of a group of guards would have worn. The being on the right oddly resembled Duke Devlin only with short messy looking platinum blond hair and icy blue eyes. The being on the left resembled Marik Ishtar only with very dark golden blond hair and bright emerald green eyes. His hair style oddly resembled that Sethiroth's from the final fantasy 7 video games only longer as it was pulled back into a low hanging pony tail.

"If we are destined to die...than we die together in order to protect our Pharaoh as well as you the high priest of Anubis and true commander of the madjai. I might not know why you choose me to lead the madjai after you were destined to become the high priest of Anubis but I swear to you master, I will not let you down or the men who were trained by you down!" The Joey look a like said as his eyes burned with fierce loyalty as well as determination as they stood in front of a terrifying mummified human mixed with a giant scorpion as the three guards as well as a small group of guards that were cloaked in shadows that were clearly preventing the creature from getting to the Pharaoh as well as to this height priest of Anubis. William shook his head violently from the strange memory that had just ended as quickly as the memory played in his head.

What the hell is wrong with my head? Oh right...past memories...but how is this even possible? I'm from a completely different dimension, for crying out loud!!! William wondered as he inwardly freaked.

How the fuck do they keep withstanding Zorc's attacks!!!!? Damn it...zorc's weak point is exposed after he attacks...Hopefully they won't notice this. Bakura snarled in pure frustration.

"So I was right...Zorc is sort of like a hydra. You gotta attack the heart or in this case, the eye within Zorc's chest. That's his weak point, one that can only be exposed when he attacks!!!" William yelled as Bakura's face paled at his words.

Fuck!!!! Bakura screamed in his head.

"The hole in Zorc's chest...it's closing!!! Tea yelled in horror.

"Not good!" Joey and Tristan shouted at the same time.

"It's too late! It will seal it self up before we even get a chance to strike!" Yugi called out. The creature that looked like winged demonic version of a jigglypuff growled loudly.

What is that jigglypuff look a like up too? Oh right, it is going to get itself stuck in Zorc's chest so we can attack his weak point as it prevents the opening from closing. William thought to himself as he watched as the creature lunches itself at Zorc at a high rate of speed.

Hahahaaaa! Fools you are all too late! Have to admit I was afraid as well as angry when the dungeon master figured out Zorc's achilles' heel. If the opening closes before they can attack, I have nothing to fear. I'll win!! Huh?! Bakura wondered before his eyes widen in horror. "What the hell?! That puny monster got itself stuck in the opening!?" He shouted out loud.

"Pokii!! " Yugi and his friends yelled in alarm when they saw their creature friend stuck in Zorc's opening as William was deathly silent as he watched the events play out.

The creature looked at Yugi and his friends with determined exspression. "Brave little creature...it's sacrificing itself, so it can give us the chance to attack Zorc's weak spot so we can put an end to our enemy." William said softly as his eyes turn to a errie bright yellow color as his voice became darker which did not go unnoticed by Yami who quickly glanced at William's still body only to see a hand clench and open up slightly. The creature known as Pokii was wincing in pain.

Yugi and his friends became determined to help Pokii. "Thank you Pokii...however we won't sacrifice a friend! An evil soul isn't worth the life of a friend!!!" Joey yelled.

"Let's go! The beast tamer attacks! Dice roll!" Yami yelled as he rolled the dice.

Just you wait, i'll save you. Yugi thought to himself.

The number 00 appears.Yugi's magic forms a giant fist that glows bright before it flies forward as it punches straight through Zorc's chest and straight through his weak spot. Only for the magical fist to open as it revealed Pokii safe and sound in it's palm. Bakura nearly doubles over in pain.

You little...! Bakura snarls in his mind as he clutches his chest in pain.

"Alright Yugi, hit his weak point!" Tristan cheered as Zorc was screaming in pain in pain.

"Now it is the warrior's turn! Dice roll!!!" Yami yelled as he rolled the dice. The number 01 appeared.

Joey glances at William just to make sure he won't steal his attack turn only to see William yawn in annoyance. Seeing his chance Joey charges forward as he swings his sword blade at Zorc as he slices Zorc's upper body from his lower body with his sword. Zorc's upper body hits the ground. William watches with a bored exspression.

" We did it!!! We defeated Zorc!!! " Yugi and friends cheered as William sweat dropped at the fact no one was really paying attention to their enemy.

"Uh guys...All we did was just royally piss, Zorc off. " William said in a flat lifeless tone.

"What do you mean?" Ryo asked innocently.

"He's still alive." William said calmly.

"Wait...what?! " everyone yelled as William simply points at Zorc's upper half, just as Zorc slowly raises his upper body off the ground by his good arm as he bares his fangs at them as his one good eye blazes in pure rage as it promises death in it. Zorc snarls at them loudly in rage.

"Told ya, he's not dead." William said calmly.

"Hey William...maybe you should eat Zorc's body for a power up?" Joey suggested only to yell in pain when William hit him on top of the head with his fist again.

"I ate the eyeball on a sheer whim, which I regret doing! Now your telling me to devour it's body!? Are you out of your fucken mind!?" William hissed in annoyance as his stomache growls in protest. Joey went to hide behind Yugi but a scythe blade was suddenly at his throat. "Don't even think about using Yugi as a human shield, Wheeler." William growled.

Joey laughs nervously. "Yugi, a little help please?" Yugi looked ready to say something but after seeing William's dark expression Yugi wisely took a step back.

"Sorry Joey...but you are on your own." Yugi said softly in a nervous tone. William slowly moved the scythe away as he gave a soft snarl.

Hahahahaaa! I still have a card to play! Bakura thought in pain. "The fact you didn't finish Zorc on this turn, will be your down fall, Yami!!! On the next turn Zorc and the adventurers must roll for initiative again! This is the last die roll! We roll at the same time! The winner goes first!! " Bakura yells. If I win, I will have Zorc self destruct and take everyone with him! You we all die this turn!!!

I'll take you on, Bakura!!! Yami said. I'll put everything I have into these dice and I will win! This roll means life or death and I can not afford to loose! He thought to himself.

I am so hungry. I am going to really hate this part coming up and I hope not to do anything stupid after wards. William thought to himself. Before wincing in pain as a strange image of an Egyptian clay jar with a jackal head on it covered in thick chains and ancient seals flashed through his head as it shook violently in a display case at Domino History museum just as the image shifted to show that of a large jackal like creature that was slightly bigger than a wolf by four times with long razor sharp vicious looking horns. It has a long silvery white mane, a large scar over it's left eye, wearing thick black armor with chains, it had long razor sharp claws and a long lightning bolt shaped tail. It's one glowing ice blue eye stared at him before it opened its jaws to reveal two rows of long razor sharp nightmarish fangs at him.

"William, are you okay?" Ryo asked him in concern.

"Yeah...don't worry about me, I'm okay." William said softly as he closed his eyes for a moment.

This is the end for you fools. I will have Zorc self destruct himself just to take you all with him! The stage for your adventures is hell!!! Haahahaha!!!!! Bakura laughed demonically in his head. "The instant my roll beats yours, Zorc will self destruct! By destroying all of you, I will be victorious!!! Be warned Yami, if we roll the same number, we both die! Either way, I win! Hahahaaa!" Bakura laughs loudly.

"Don't bet on that, Bakura..." William said softly under his breath.

Yugi and his friends all looked up at Yami it was clear they were all hoping for the best out come. William closed his eyes for a moment before they opened as he waited for results of the dice that would decide their fate.

It's useless to struggle...they will die in this world along with Zorc. Even if my avatar dies, I will love forever as long as the millennium ring exists. With my millennium ring I will deal part of my own soul into these dice, I'll call them the doppelganger dice! The seal is completed! There's no way I won't get a super critical with these! Hahahahaaaaa!!! This is the end Yami! Bakura thought as he channeled a part of his soul into the dice.

Ryo...William thought to himself softly.

"Let's do it!!! The dice roll of life or death!!!" Bakura and Yami yelled at the same time as they rolled their dice.

"Yami... " Yugi and his friends said softly. William closed his eyes as his hand tightened down on the scythe as his knuckles turned white before his eyes snapped open as they turned solid black with glowing white pupils that appeared to be eyes of death.

Please dice, please respond to our hearts! Yami begged as his dice than revealed 00.

"Alright! Yami did it! " Yugi and his friends cheered.

"Unless Bakura rolls a super critical as well." William said softly completely void of any emotion.

"William?" Yugi asked in concern only to freeze as he caught sight of William's eyes they were no way human just as the unearthly aura slammed into him at full force making Yugi swallow in fear. William said nothing more as his expression harden.

"Don't jinx us...William!" Joey yelled.

"Just stating a fact... " William said softly.

Yami, I salute your skills as a gamer, however there is no chance of your friends or even yourself leaving this game alive!! My doppelganger dice roll super criticals, one hundred percent of the time!! If our rolls are the same, I win!! Your lives will all end the moment these dice hit the ground!!! Bakura laughed inside his head just as his dice revealed 00.

"Oh no!!!!" Tea yelled.

"A super critical!?" Tristan yelled.

"William, you jinxed us!!!" Joey yelled.

"We're dead!!!" Ryo and Yugi yelled in fear.

"Hahahahahaaaaa!!! Two sets of super criticals...the most dramatic ending! Everyone dies! " Bakura laughs.

"Hey Bakura...you might want to look at you dice...their cracking." William said in soft voice completely void of any emotion.

"What are you talking about? Wait... what is happening to my dice?!" Bakura yelled in alarm as he watched as his dice began cracking. Suddenly a glowing ghostly image of Ryo Bakura appeared before all of them. Ryo Bakura!? Bakura shouted inside his head.

"I don't want to loose any more of my friends even if it means my soul should shatter ending my very existance." Ryo said slowly.

Could it be when I sealed part of my soul into the dice, he somehow sent his soul as well...but if he out his entire soul into the dice, he can't go back to his body! That's suicide!! Why would he do this!?Bakura thought as his eyes widen in alarm.I

"What's going on?" Joey asked.

"Ryo Bakura...is giving his very life in order to destroy the dice and to save all of us... his friends." William said in a grim tone. Yugi and his friends stared in horror at this.

"William, Yami, everyone...thank you for believing in me...and thanks for being a friend." Ryo said softly. William closed his eyes as his body shakes with rage as his hand tightens even harder onto his scythe.

It's not your time to die...Ryo Bakura...it's not your time...to make that journey into the afterlife...I will not allow it, nor do I accept the loss of another friend to hands of death before their scheduled time! As the Lord of the dead, I refuse to accept any of this!!! William's mind shouts as his eyes glow unnaturally as the bracelet of Anubis glows even brighter in response to this.

"Ryo!!!! No!!!" Yami screamed just as the dice shattered completely into dust as Ryo's soul vanished into thin air. Everyone stared at remains of the dice. Bakura was starring in a horrified disbelief. Yami glares at Bakura in rage. "So you rolled a super critical!? I don't see any other super critical other than my own. No dice, no roll! We attack! Prepare your self!"

"Let's do this!" Yugi and his friends yelled.

"Tea's magic attack channels all of our anger as well as our sorrow into her final attack!" Yami shouts as Tea unleashes her ultimate attack on Zorc as he instantly destroyed. Bakura's ring glows brightly as Bakura screams out in pain.

"Aaaaaaaaaggghhhhhhhhhh!!!!!" Bakura's body than slumps forward completely lifeless just as the millennium ring's cord snaps causing the item to hit the floor.

"Bakura!!!" Yami yells as he jumps out of his seat to check on him.

"Yami, is he...?" Yugi asks.

"It's no good...he's dead...he sacraficed himself for us." Yami said.

"No...Ryo Bakura's soul still lives...inside of me. My healing magic should be strong enough to bring him back..." Ryo started until his face paled.

"What's wrong Ryo? " Yugi asked him.

"I don't have enough magic points to preform the healing spell..." Ryo said.

" You guys are forgetting that I choose to be a necromancer...I can revive one person back from the dead...you done enough for us...Ryo...It's my turn from here." William said. "Hey Yami, do me a favor and roll a critical...so I can save our friend Ryo and get us all back to normal!" William said.

"William... " Ryo said.

Yami smiles as he grabs the dice as he rolls the dice as it lands on 00. William raises his scythe. "Necromancer's healing magic level Fifty two!"William yelled as a powerful blinding gold light engulfs everyone.

Ryo stirred a bit as he slow came around. He slowly sat up right only to find himself in a bright silvery white area only to stare wide eyed at the sight of a very old and ancient Egyptian Lord of the dead, Anubis standing before him. "Don't ever do that again...mortal...for next time I will have no other choice but to lead your soul to the after life...look after the red haired knuckle head...for he is my mortal self. Keep him safe as he will keep you safe in return, Ryo Bakura." Anubis growled before he reached out and gently poked Ryo hard in the forehead with a claw like finger just as the whole room spun so violently Ryo had to squeeze his eyes tightly before he woke with a start to see William beside him as well as Yami on the other side of him.

"Ryo, are you okay? " Yami asked him

"Y-yeah...just a bit dizzy. " Ryo said only to blink as Joey and Tristan screamed as they came around only to see their positions of how they landed. Tea was laughing as the two sprang away from one another as they seemed to be deeply embarrassed.

William noticed the millennium ring on the ground as he reached down to pick it up. The scorpion's tail tip on William's bracelet struck forward into the center of the sennen eye on the millennium ring causing a strange symbol to appear briefly. The two items glowed brightly just as William heard Bakura's scream of pure fear and the angry snarl of one very pissed off Egyptain Lord of the dead echoing in his ears. I don't know if I should be concerned for Bakura's well being or not...he sort of had it coming to him.

"William?" Ryo asked as he places the ring onto a table.

"Where do you keep your first aid kit?" William asked with no sign of any type of form of emotion.

"In the cabinet under the sink in the bathroom." Ryo said only to watch as William swiftly left the room only to return with it as he snapped it open. "What are you doing? "

"Going to take care of your hand and get it bandaged up before taking you to the Emergency Room. You could bleed to death other wise." William said. "After all I did something similiar to my own hand...only difference is that I was constantly stabbing the same area on purpose."

"I am going to have to wrap you up in bubble wrap, aren't I?!" Yami shouted.

"No comment." William said coldly as he tended to Ryo's injury as he being as gentle as possible with him as he cleaned the wound before tightly mandating up his injured hand. The group of friends than headed out towards the hospital.

Once at the hospital Dr. Wakasa looked ready to start screaming at William until he noticed Ryo's bandaged hand. William than nervously explained that Ryo had an accident when he had accidently tripped, and when he went to catch himself his hand was pierced by a very sharp rock when he fell. It was a lie but Dr. Wakasa believed his story as he took care of Ryo's injured hand.

Afterwards everyone headed home for the night all except William who made the excuse that he left something at school and that he would be a little late getting back. Yugi have him a concerned look and would have followed him had it not been for his mom who found one of his test scores as she began lecturing him on the importance of getting good grades.

William was inwardly freaking out as he ran towards the school. He was late for his duel with Kaiba. The hospital visit took longer than he suspected as did Monster World. However William had a bigger problem at the moment. He wasn't fully ready for this duel. His false deck wasn't even completed yet, so he was being forced to use his real deck which risked revealing the Egyptain God cards far too early.

He reached the classroom as he found Kaiba stand there calmly with a smirk. "I was beginning to think you stood me up...what kept you?" Kaiba asked him.

"A hospital visit...Ryo had injured his hand badly. Besides the fact I lost track of time." William explained.

"Looks like you had a right to be concerned after all. Are you ready to duel me?" Kaiba asked him.

"In all honesty no...since I was reworking my deck, but I do owe you a duel...so here I am."

"Reworking your deck?" Kaiba asked him.

"Yeah...sort of want to try out some new cards I got but...the new cards would have thrown my deck out of balance..." William said.

Kaiba raised an eyebrow at him before shaking his head. "I rather duel you when your fully ready and prepared. If I duel you now, it wouldn't feel like you just allowed me to win as you held back on me. So we will put this duel on hold...in the meantime...you do have a cell phone right?" Kaiba asked him.

"Yes but why do you want my cell phone? " William asked as he pulled out his cell phone.

"So you can contact me when your ready to duel me...Or when I grow impatient and just contact you directly to duel me." Kaiba said as he held out his hand as William handed over his cellphone. Kaiba than placed his direct cell phone number into his phone before he memorized William's phone number before giving William back his cell phone. "If you give anyone my cell phone number, I swear I will make your life a living hell, Dracon." Kaiba said.

"Not my place to do anything like that without getting your permission first. Besides...I'm already in hell even if it is on a personal matter." William said.

"Your missing memories. I know I been looking into it in order to help you regain some form of your past...what confuses me is how you even ended up in Japan...there is no plane or ship records of you ever leaving the United States...and yet you were found here in Domino City badly injured." Kaiba said making William inwardly freak out. "However there was one rather interesting article that I came across...showing you as the true undefeated world champion duelist for the United States and as the only known duelist in the world, famous enough to have summoned Exoida the forbidden one in less than three moves against the very creator of duel monsters. Besides having a history of summoning Exodia is less than ten moves against your opponents even allowing your opponents and judges to look at you deck to make sure you only had a single set of Exodia cards within your deck and even allowed them shuffle your deck before each duel. I also believe you are the only duelist that I have ever tied in first place with. " Kaiba said.

"I have no memories of any of these events or any explanations." William said.

"I know...Which is why I want to duel you...I want to find out if your the duelist that I think you are or if your impersonating someone else." Kaiba said as he than left the room leaving William to his troubling thoughts. He looked down at his cellphone before gripping it tightly in his hand.

I'm just thankful my phone still works in this world...but I can't contact any of my friends or even my grandmother back home in my dimension...so many questions but no answers to any of them...I really need to speak with Ishizu or Shadi about all of this. William thought to himself before he sat down on the floor as he pressed his back up against the wall to stare up at the ceiling. How long he sat there alone in his thoughts he didn't know not did he really care.

"You look like you seen better days, dungeon master." A voice said making William turn to look at Bakura who walked over and sat down beside him. The millennium Ring was clearly around his neck again.

"Came to kill me or banish my soul to the shadow realm, Bakura?" William asked him.

"Neither actually, even though it is very tempting." Bakura said with an evil smirk.

"So why are you here...I was pretty sure you hated my guts as much as you hate Yugi and his friends, especially Yami. " William said.

"Tch...I don't hate you...you are the only person I actually like out that pathetic little group." Bakura said.

"My spirit scared the living daylights out of you, didn't he...I'm guessing your here because he some how threatened you..." William said.

"No comment..." Bakura growled.

"So why are you here? " William asked him.

"Yugi called saying you are missing...you been gone for three hours." Bakura said.

" I guess, I lost track of time...again. He has my cell phone number...why didn't he just call me?" William asked only to see he has his phone on mute as it shows several missed calls.

"Tch...Which is why your coming home with me tonight... since your so out of it...you might walk into traffic and get hit by a car or something...I already made the excuse that you showed up at my place and crashed on my couch after finding your notebook at my place." Bakura said as he stood up and held out his hand. William looked at his hand before grabbing it allowing Bakura to help him stand up. The two than headed back Ryo's apartment.

The next morning when Ryo woke up, he found William sound asleep on his couch. Ryo was a bit confused but shrugged it off as he went to make breakfast for them.

A few days latter Ryo got exciting news. All his friends who were in comatose states in the hospital had all regained consciousness. However their gym teacher Mr. Karita...He seemed to have become a lot nastier towards his students and had no memory of being turned into a miniature.

William was sound asleep at his desk. It was the very first time he ever fell asleep durring class and no one really had the heart to wake him up. "Is he okay? He's been really not himself these past couple of days. Ever since he told us about how he lost his girlfriend." Tea asked softly in concern.

"I don't know...He won't tell me anything. All he keeps saying is that he's okay and he will suddenly change the subject on me." Yugi said sighing. Joey and Tristan looked on in concern.

"It doesn't help matters much that he has amnesia...however it seems like he's only remembering the worst parts of his past." Tristan said.

"Maybe because of that, he's starting to become home sick, and with everything that happened recently to trigger his worst parts of his memory...I'm surprised he hasn't cracked under all that pressure." Joey said.

"I just wish I knew what was wrong with him." Yugi said.

"I might know what's wrong with him...this is the same month when his classmates were killed and when his girlfriend died protecting him. He saw a calender at my place the night he stayed over at my apartment and that was when I noticed the sudden change in his personality...it took some convincing to get him to talk about it...I basically had to bribe him for the information, before you ask how I did it. I am not entirely sure but I know i had offered him some food and a very strong cup tea.." Ryo said softly as he carried something over to them that was hidden under a cloth as he placed it down onto a desk.

"I heard we are getting a new teacher...a Mr. Ferris." Tea said. When no one was looking William opened his eyes as they burned darkly upon hearing the name of the teacher. In the far back of his mind he had to tell himself it wasn't the same teacher, it couldn't be the same teacher that took the lives of his classmates and the life of his girlfriend. That Mr. Ferris died...didn't he?

William relaxed his expression as he looked at Ryo. "I see you got the bandages taken off your hand." William said startling everyone.

"Why do you like giving people heart attacks!?" Joey snapped as he held his heart. William gave him a raised eyebrow.

"Yes...my hand is all healed up. No permanent damage but I will have a small scar from it and the possibility of arthritis when I am much older." Ryo said.

"How long have you been awake? " Tea asked.

"Not very long...so what's on the table? " William asked.

"Oh right, I wanted to show you all the diorama I made. It's a memento of that adventure. A symbol of our friendship...when we fought together in monster world." Ryo said as he revealed it.

The diorama showed the two monsters the gang made friends off to the side. Yami was holding the red die up in the air as he stood in the center. Tristan had his gun testing on his shoulder as he smiled as he stood behind Tea near the pokii the demonic jigglypuff monster. Joey stood their raising his sword up in the air as he held his shield with pride while he stood next to a small castle with wide smile on his face. Tea had her staff in her hand as she seemed to be smiling. It showed William's character as himself only wearing the Death God's armor as he held Zorc's skull in one hand as he sat cross legged on the ground with his scythe resting on his lap as he held a evil demonic looking smile on his face. Ryo stood behind William with a wide smile on his face as he held his staff. While Yugi stood beside his Dragon with a wide smile as his hand rested on the dragon's head.

William couldn't help but feel a little bad for Bakura in the diorama. After all Bakura was being represented as Zorc's skull. However the diorama was awesome looking.

"That is so cool!" Yugi said with a wide smile.
