=Featured = Summary ==After the [[Duel]] between [[Yami Yugi]] and [[Rafael]] is over, the building they are on top of begins to shake and crumble. A KC Chopper arrives to rescue them, but Yami Yugi is unable to carry Rafael (who is still weakened from their previous Duel: Seto Kaiba + ). Rafael falls into a chasm, but not before handing Yami Yugi vsan SD memory card. The whole building gives way to an ancient structure; the modern building was just an outer shell built around it. Yami Yugi hands [[Seto Kaiba|Kaiba]] Rafael's SD memory card, and Kaiba uses a PDA to check it: it's a map, signalling the location of Dartz - Part 1='s temple. While flying away and after seeing a swarm of locusts fly across the skies, four military choppers intercept the KC Chopper and redirect it.

They land in front of the temple and disembark. They stumble upon the main chamber and feel like something lingers on the field with two more "air, a kind of collective sadness. Discovering a passage, they find another room containing tablets depicting the imprisoned souls. Yami Yugi recognizes [[Blue-Eyes White DragonYugi Muto|Blue-Eyes White Dragons]]" from his [[Hand]] to form "[[Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon]]" (4500 [[ATK]] / 3800 [[DEF]]) in [[Attack PositionYugi]], so he rushes forward when Dartz's voice booms out.

==Two torches form an arch of fire and from it Dartz emerges, claiming that he's waited for them and welcoming them to his temple. He claims, as always, that he will get his souls and the blessing of his God. He erases two tablets to set apart "special seats" for both Kaiba and Yami Yugi. Kaiba and Yami Yugitell him that the [[Doma#Three Swordsmen|Three Swordsmen]] have been defeated, so he's Turn==*the only one left. Dartz looks unfazed. He had always planned to have them be sacrificed as well. Yami activates Yugi demands the release of the souls, and Dartz challenges them to try to defeat him. He makes the whole set of torches light, thus revealing the whole room. Yugi and company gasp; the floor, walls and dome-shaped ceiling are filled with tablets of sealed souls. [[PolymerizationMokuba Kaiba|Mokuba]]recognizes that some of them are from other eras, fusing even. Dartz explains that he's existed for over 10,000 years. He then forms a [[Chaos Duel Disk]] and steps forward. Kaiba announces that he shall be his opponent, but Yami Yugi refuses to let him go solo. They decide to do a [[Tag-Team Duel]], and Dartz agrees.  Elsewhere, Rafael picks up [[Valon]]'s body and loads into a jeep along with Mai's. He mutters that there's something he still needs to do.  Both Yugi and Kaiba begin their [[turn]]s by Summoning high-Level monsters: "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon (anime)|Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]" and "[[Black Luster Soldier (anime)|Black Luster Soldier]]" . Dartz begins with Seto's the "[[The Seal of Orichalcos (anime)|The Seal of Orichalcos]]" following this, he manifests his fighting spirit, which was so strong even the ones observing the duel felt it. He then Summons an "[[BlueOrichalcos Gigas]]" and one back-Eyes Ultimate Dragonrow Monster: "[[Orichalcos Kyutora (anime)|Orichalcos Kyutora]]" . In the next turn, both Yami Yugi and Kaiba work in unison to form bring out "[[Dragon Master Knight(later anime)|Dragon Master Knight]]" and Yami Yugi uses a Trap Card to inflict "[[piercing]]" damage to Dartz. However, their attack is somehow blocked by "Kyutora", and Dartz claims that it is not possible for them to defeat him. The energy of the attack provokes for the "Seal" to warp them into the World of Memories of the Orichalcos. Dartz then makes a speech about how everything is born from the Dark. They float over the Earth as they speak. They then descend below the clouds until they float atop a city: [[Atlantis]]. Dartz announces that he was the ruler of that city and the destroyer of it: it was a beautiful city, but, alas, it was walking upon the road of destruction. ==Featured Duel: Seto Kaiba & Yami Yugi vs. Dartz== <u>'''Turn 1: Kaiba'''</u><br />Kaiba draws.
