As in the mangaBattle City and Virtual World arcs, both players start a [[Duel]] at 4000 [[Life Points]], and monsters can be [[Normal Summon]]ed in [[face-up]] [[Defense Position]].

The storyline is based around an organization (named Doma in Instead, the Japanese version) which uses a card known arc features many new cards, such as the Seal of "[[Legendary Dragon]]s" and Dartz's "[[Orichalcos to entrap the souls of people and duel monsters alike, in an effort to revive an ancient monster known as the Great Leviathan. The beast was the center of the destruction of Atlantaean society 10,000 years ago]]" cards, well before the time of the Egyptians (for which the rest of the series is based against)offer new game mechanics.

In ==Plot==The storyline is based around an organization (named Doma in the pastJapanese version) which uses a card known as "[[The Seal of Orichalcos (anime)|The Seal of Orichalcos]]" to entrap the souls of people and duel monsters alike, the in an effort to revive an ancient dragon monster known as [[The Great Leviathan ]]. The beast was defeated by the three Legendary Dragons: Timaeus, Critias, and Hermos. Although not destroyed, center of the Leviathan was severely weakened, forcing Dartz, King destruction of Atlantis, and his Doma organization to collect souls for Atlantean society 10,000 years. Dartz knew that he would succeed after seeing ago, well before the power time of Atem in Ancient Egypt some thousands of years later the Egyptians (in on which the English adaptation, Dartz cites rest of the Shadow Realm specificallyseries is based).

==The =Stealing Yugi's Egyptian God Cards Stolen===The story begins after the end of the [[Battle City ]] tournament, with when [[Atem]] wanted to recover his lost memories by using the three Egyptian God Cards in to activate the chamber of the Nameless Pharaoh King inside the [[Memory World]]. Suddenly, a [[Dartz|dark force]] freezes the possession [[Tablet of Yugi Muto (romanized as Yugi Mutou Lost Memories]], sealing it to prevent him from doing so. Outside, [[Duel Monster Spirits|Duel Monsters]] have come to life and began attacking the civilians without warning, even after Kaiba shut down the Dueling system. When the monsters kept appearing, he called Industrial Illusions in the English manga)an attempt to get help. One Later that night, a group of perpetrators break broke into the Kame Game Shop and steal stole the three God Cards from his possessionYugi's grandfather [[Solomon Muto]], who had been given the cards for safekeeping. Giving chase to the thieves, they eventually encounter Grerimo[[Gurimo]], a mysterious man in a cape. Grerimo Gurimo is collecting souls for the group, and plans to collect the souls of duelists by defeating them in a duel. To this end, he uses the "[[The Seal of Orichalcos (anime)|The Seal of Orichalcos ]]" card, a field magic card [[Field Spell Card|Field Magic Card]] that could not be dispelled and prevented outside interference, with only the winner of the duel Duel being able to escape and the loser having his soul taken by the sealSeal. Although Grerimo Gurimo manages to unleash the power of "[[Obelisk the Tormentor (anime)|Obelisk the Tormentor]]" against its former owner, Yugi eventually wins the duel, Duel but ultimately fails to recover the God Cards.

The God Cards eventually arrive at in the hands of Dartz, who sacrifices their power to awaken the beasthis Great Beast,Leviathen[[The Great Leviathan]].

===Releasing the Legendary Dragons===[[File:Yugioh147.jpg|thumb|right|175px|Yugi and the Pharaoh release "[[The Eye of Timaeus]]"]][[File:Yugioh150.jpg|thumb|right|175px|Seto wields "[[The Fang of Critias]]"]][[File:Yugioh154.jpg|thumb|right|175px|"[[The Claw of Hermos]]" appears to assist Joey]]The next night, as the world sees a giant eye in the sky, [[Yugi Muto|Yugi ]] and the [[Pharaoh Atem|Pharaoh]] awaken in the depths of the [[Millennium Puzzle, ]] where they encounter "[[Kuriboh (character)|Kuriboh urges ]]", urging them to follow a portal hidden inside the puzzle to the world of beasts, where a similar eye is stationed. While thereThere, they are greeted by "[[Dark Magician Girl(character)|Dark Magician Girl]]", who tells then the two tale of the [[The Great Leviathan]], and urges them to pull a sword from an ice statue. They do so, and unlock the power of Legendary Dragon '''"[[The Eye of Timaeus (anime)|The Eye of Timaeus]]"''', who proceeds to destroy the eye in the sky above the world of beasts. Similarly, Yugi would unleash the same power in the real world, forcing the [[The Great Leviathan]] to retreat.

The other two dragons [[Legendary Dragons]] would also be unleashed in a similar manner - the Legendary Dragon '''"[[Fang of Critias ]]"''' was unlocked by [[Seto Kaiba ]] in a duelDuel, after kowtowing to a demand allegedly by [[Maximillion Pegasus]] to duel Duel at his Duelist Kingdom as a publicity stunt. There, he discovers that one of the thieves, Amelda ([[Alister ]] named for Aleister Crowley, who coined the unicursal hexagram that acts as the symbol of the Orichalcos, in the English version), had led him there, wanting retribution for what KaibaCorp had done against his family. Although the "[[The Seal of Orichalcos (anime)|The Seal of Orichalcos ]]" was indeed used, the battle was fought to a drawDRAW, allowing both Alister and Kaiba to escape unharmed.

The third dragon, the [[Legendary Dragon ]], '''"[[Claw of Hermos]]"''', would be unlocked by [[Joey Wheeler ]] (Katsuya Jonouchi): when Yugi and his friends receive a video from Pegasus (as it turns out, shortly before he is defeated and his soul sealed), who implores Yugi and his friends to travel to America and retrieve a card that holds holding the key to defeating their then-unknown threat. At Pegasus' Industrial Illusions, HQ however, they are locked inside the building, where [[Mai Valentine]] (Mai Kujaku) emerges to battle Joey. During this duelDuel, Yugi and friends discovered discover that Mai had been wandering the Earth, after the their [[Battle City ]] tournament - ; although she finished in the top eight8, she was always overshadowed by Joey, a semifinalist, and continually traumatized by her loss to [[Marik Ishtar]] (in which she was physically and emotionally seriously injured herscarred). Determined to become stronger at any cost, and never wanting to lose another duel Duel again, Mai eventually wound up with [[Dartz]], and eagerly accepted the accepting his offer of becoming stronger, not realizing that the power of the [[Orichalcos ]] would be her undoing.

The change in Mai's behavior would, as it turns out, be partially due to [[Valon]], the second of Doma's three Swordsmen, who had cared for Mai in her time of need, and wanted her to move on with her life by defeating Joey (effectively also doing his work for her). When Joey appears to have the upper hand in the Duel (thanks to "[[Claw of Hermos]]"), Valon uses his [[Orichalcos stone Stone]] to break the seal, rendering the match a no-contest and allowing both Mai and Joey 's souls to survive.

Meanwhile, [[Duke Devlin]] (Ryuji Otogi), accompanied by [[Weevil Underwood]] (Insector Haga) and [[Rex Raptor]] (Dinosaur Ryuzaki), would manage to break into the building and unlock the doors. [[Seto Kaiba|Seto]] and [[Mokuba Kaiba ]] would also appear, and all of them would help Yugi find the card that Pegasus claimed would help Yugi end the threat of Doma - yet, when they find it, it is blank.

===Yugi's Sacrificesacrifice===[[File:Yugioh158.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The evil power of the Orichalcos inhabits the Pharaoh]]The third swordsman, [[Rafael ]], would later challenge Yugi. Rafael claimed that Yugi and his friends are fighting for the wrong cause, and that Rafael was a noble hero out to save the world. He claimed that mankind was inherently evil, and that the Orichalcos exposed the darkness within the souls of mankind - thus the need for them to be sealed by the "[[The Seal of Orichalcos (anime)|The Seal of Orichalcos]]".

However, as Yugi dueledDueled, he finds himself easily outmatched by Rafael's [[Guardians|Guardian monstersMonsters]], which he refused to allow to go to the card graveyardGraveyard. After a move that exchanged a card between Rafael plays the two hands[[Spell Card]] "[[Exchange (anime)|Exchange]]", Yugi finds himself with the "[[The Seal of Orichalcos]]" in his hand. Not wanting to lose, yet not wanting to play the Seal, the two souls of Yugi would debate over whether to use the card. Blind Blinded by the desire to win at any cost, the Pharaoh wins out [[Yami Yugi|Yami]] (in control of Yugi wanted to avoid 's body during the card even if it meant he lost the duelDuel), ignores Yugi's pleas and plays the Seal in order to power up his monsters. Using the ability of "[[Catapult Turtle(anime)|Catapult Turtle]]", he sacrifices monster after monster to wear away at Rafael's life pointsLife Points, even sacrificing his trusted "[[Dark Magician (anime)|Dark Magician]]" and "[[Dark Magician Girl (anime)|Dark Magician Girl ]]" in the process. Yet, Rafael is able to survive and use the situation to his advantage by summoning Summoning "[[Guardian Eatos (anime)|Guardian Eatos]]". Eatos would use the spirits of Yugi's own monsters to defeat Yugi.

As the Seal slowly circles around the fallen Pharaoh, however, Yugi realizes that two souls reside within one body, and allows the seal Seal to take him instead, sacrificing himself so that the Pharaoh would survive. Meanwhile, Weevil and Rex, after seeing the power of the Orichalcos, seek to have the power for themselves.

===Fighting the Darknessdarkness===The Pharaoh mourned for the loss of Yugi, and despite the attempts of his friends to cheer him up, remained in a funkbecame distraught over the loss of his [[Yugi Muto|other self]]. Meanwhile, as the Pharaoh and company continue to travel, Weevil and Rex meet Dartz, who grants them the power of the [[Orichalcos]]. In return, however, they are told to use their newfound power on the Pharaoh and Joey - a win-win scenario for Dartz in any event.

The two would manage to hijack the train the Pharaoh and company would be riding in - Weevil isolating [[Yami Yugi|Yami]] and [[Téa Gardner ]] (Anzu Mazaki), while Rex finding Joey and [[Tristan Taylor ]] (Hiroto Honda). Thus, the two Duelist Kingdom rematches were slated to begin, only with much more on the line. While Joey would have little trouble dispatching Rex with the help of his "[[Claw of Hermos]]", Timaeus would seemingly abandon the Pharaoh, forcing him to win the duel Duel without itbecause of his recent action he did when Dueling against Refael. He would ultimately prevail against Weevil with the help of "[[Breaker the Magical Warrior(anime)|Breaker the Magical Warrior]]", which, along with its ability and "[[Berserker Soul (anime)|Berserker Soul]]", allowed it to attack Weevil repeatedly as long as the Pharaoh drew and discarded monsters - which he did ruthlessly . Téa would implore the Pharaoh to stop - long after he had beaten Weevil - just as Yami was about to discard "[[Dark Magician Girl (anime)|Dark Magician Girl]]". Just then, however, the moving train would head off a cliff, although they would survive, having been rescued by a mysterious person.

When the Pharaoh came to, his saviour His savior would be revealed as [[Ironheart#Chris.2C Ironheart and Skye|Ironheart]]. Ironheart would lead the Pharaoh to a place the [[Stone Wilderness|Valley of lost soulsLost Souls]], where the Pharaoh he found the spirit of Yugi. Yugi confronts the Pharaoh, and implores him to face himself through a duelDuel if he is really sorry for his misdeeds in his previous Duel, with both players sharing the same deckDeck. In this duelDuel, Yugi would bring forth the "[[The Seal of Orichalcos (anime)|The Seal of Orichalcos]]", and would use a similar strategy to what the Pharaoh had used against Rafael; sacrificing monsters to win. The Pharaoh would protest against Yugi's strategy not to make the same mistake he did or it will prevent him from saving him and humanity; but, Yugi, under the influence of Orichalcos, only sees him as an evil individual who never cared about everyone but himself and cruelly makes him pay for his own action. YetHowever, the Pharaoh ultimately succeeds wins the Duel after successfully countering Yugi's moves, despite . Despite not wanting to lose Yugi again, the Pharaoh promises to save him.

Just as he was about to leave, however, Dartz, who had been observing the Pharaoh's activities, conjures a spell to bring forth an [[Orichalcos Soldier]]. While fighting Dueling the Orichalcos Soldier, however, the Pharaoh realizes that Timaeus is his only hope of winning, yet he cannot use it as he does not have the card in his deck Deck (after having given it to Ironheart, believing him to be unworthy of the card's power). Ironheart and his family (consisting of grand-daughter [[Ironheart#Chris.2C Ironheart and Skye|Chris ]] and pet dog wolf [[Ironheart#Chris.2C Ironheart and Skye|Skye]]) would sacrifice their lives to deliver the card to Yugi, who uses it successfully to defeat the Orichalcos Soldier. With the darkness within himself defeatedeliminated, the Pharaoh could finally move on, and hope to find and free rescue Yugi, wherever he may be.

==The Fall =[[Alister]]'s loss to [[Fang of the SwordsmenCritias|Critias]]===

Although In the past, the kingdom of Atlantis was guarded by three knights, which were turned into dragons and sealed away during the battles that eventually destroyed Atlantis. By using the "[[Legend of Heart (anime)|Legend of Heart]]", the three Legendary Dragons revert to their true form, allowing "[[Legendary Knight Timaeus (anime)|Legendary Knight Timaeus]]", "[[Legendary Knight Critias (anime)|Legendary Knight Critias]]", and "[[Legendary Knight Hermos (anime)|Legendary Knight Hermos]]" to be reborn. The three Knights manage to destroy the three levels of "[[The Seal of Orichalcos (anime)|The Seal of Orichalcos]]", as well as Dartz's "[[Orichalcos Shunoros (anime)|Orichalcos Shunoros]]". However, Dartz has a result, the souls last resort up his sleeves - by sacrificing all of Yugihis Life Points, Joeyhe could Summon "[[Divine Serpent Geh]]", which has [[∞|infinite]] [[ATK]] and Kaiba are freed[[DEF]], and also allow Dartz sacrifices to continue to Duel as long as it remained on the field.

===Attack of the Great Leviathan===[[File:Yugioh183.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The Egyptian Gods rally up against [[Divine Serpent|The Great Leviathan]]]][[The Great Leviathan]] has been reborn, thanks to Dartz's own sacrifice. Even the combined forces of the Knights of Atlantis and the most powerful of Yugi's, Kaiba's and Joey's monsters were not enough to stop it - their only hope, as it seems, was to put all their own power into reviving the three Gods of Egypt: "[[Obelisk the Winged Dragon of Ra, Tormentor (character)|Obelisk the Tormentor]]", and "[[Slifer the Sky Dragon (anime)|Slifer the Sky Dragon]]", and "[[The Winged Dragon of Ra (anime)|The Winged Dragon of Ra]]". With the three monsters revived with the power of the light of all Dartz's prisioners prisoners this greatly reduces the [[The Great Leviathan]]'s strength, enough for the three Gods to easily destroy it, freeing all the captive souls in the process.

Yet, the [[The Great Leviathan ]] would continue to exist, as it was made from the evils evil mind of the mankind. The Pharaoh, wanting to help Dartz be rid of the influence of the Orichalcos, takes it upon himself to personally ensure that the Great Leviathan, and the influence of the Orichalcos, is no more. With it gone, Dartz returns to normal, and proceeds happily into the afterlifewith Ironheart, Chris, and the rest of his family.

As for the main characters, the Knights of Atlantis and "[[Dark Magician Girl (character)|Dark Magician Girl]]" thank them for their assistance, and return to the world of the beasts. The three Legendary Dragon Cards, as well as the "[[Legend of Heart (anime)|Legend of Heart]]", disappear into thin air just as they came, vowing to reappear when the world is in danger again.
