 {{Stub}}  ==Summary==

==="''Burst Stream of Destruction''"===* The [[Pharaoh Atem|Pharaoh]] just entered the battle and Summoned "[[Obelisk the Tormentor (original)|Obelisk the Tormentor]]". However its attack is repelled by "[[Diabound|Diabound]]'s]]" "'''''[[Burst Stream of Destruction]]'''''" ending the clash between the two monsters in a draw. They both return to the Pharaoh and [[Thief King Bakura]]'s respective [[DiaDhank]]s.

* Leaning over his palace's balcony to witness Bakura's escape, the Pharaoh notices an inverted pyramid sticking out of the sky. He is the only one who can see it however, and wonders if it has any relation with Bakura's ''Ultimate Shadow Dark Game''.* Back in the present, [[Seto Kaiba]] is examining the [[Millennium Eye]] that [[Yami Bakura]] left him. Upon close inspection, he sees a vision of the events currently unfolding in the past: it's the scene on the Royal balcony with the Pharaoh and [[Priest Seto]]!

===<s>Dark Magician Girl</s> Mana Pops in for a Visit===* Speaking with [[Aknadin]], [[Priest Seto]] reveals the Imperial army has been posted throughout the kingdoma wide area: Bakura will not be allowed able to hide for long or escapethe perimeter they have established. He also suggests to find criminals harboring as much darkness as Bakura, in order to capture them, and extract their Monsters in Stone Tablets and use them against Bakura in a massive Shadow Monster armyKA: they should be able to find one which is powerful enough to become an almighty weapon. [[Aknadin]] thinks to himself that if Bakura is a survivor from the village of '''[[Kul Elna]]''', his anger and hatred must be immeasurable, which is what gives [[Diabound]] so much power (NOTE: in the original Japanese, . [[Seto]] argues that this exactly what they should be looking for. [[Aknadin]] also warns Seto not to use one's argues that creating a KA from hatred is a terrifying thing to create Shadow monstersdo. [[Seto]] goes on saying this: if they can reduce the number of criminals with this, for it is immoral)they'll be essentially killing two birds with one stone.* Meanwhile, [[Isis]] is attempting to use her [[Millennium Necklace]] to foresee the future, but in vain. Ever since Bakura arrived, her vision of the future has been clouded (as if the kingdom were shrouded in by a blanket of darkness)creeping shadow.

** They are "intercepted" by '''[[Mana]]''' (who strikes a very close resemblance to "[[Dark Magician Girl]]") a childhood friend of Mahad & the Pharaoh. It's revealed she and the Pharaoh studied magic and military arts together, before he became the ruler of Egyptand they acted like siblings. [[Mana]] distractedly calls the Pharaoh 'Prince', which causes [[Mahad]] to scold Mana as their friend is already the Pharaoh. The [[Pharaoh Atem|Pharaoh]] doesn't mind and is amused when [[Mahad]] makes a slip and also calls him 'prince', something which makes [[Mana]] giggle. [[Mahad]] questions ''how'' she got there, taking into account the heavy vigilance: she confesses that she has been improving her magical arts and managed to accomplish what's named a ''immobilization spell''. [[Mahad]] orders her to cancel it, but she cannot remember the formula even while looking it up on her magical arts book (looking reminiscent of her present-day incarnation), so he does it instead.* Meanwhile from a distance, [[Thief King Bakura]] is eyeing coming back into possession thinking about how to get a hold of the [[Millennium Items]]. Doing it at once is impossible, so he decides to settle on one and then go for the rest at a leisurely pace. He vows to get ahold of [[Mahad]]'s [[Millennium Ring]] first, for which he has a particular affection (understandably, as it was the property of present-day [[Ryo BakuraRyou]]). ==Mahad's True Power: A Dark Future Lies Ahead...==* The Pharaoh tries to ask [[Mana]] what his name is, but she goes on muttering without being able to tell him his name. Her dialogue goes like this: "What are you saying, Prince? The Prince is, obviously, the prince! Ah! No! It's now the Pharaoh... Huh? The Pharaoh is the Pharaoh and the Prince is the Pharaoh... But the Prince is the Prince and... Eh?".

===Mahad's True Power: A Dark Future Lies Ahead...===* [[Isis]] tries to use her [[Millennium Necklace]] to foresee the future again. This time it shows glimpses of what's yet to come, including a great evil awaiting [[Mahad]]. ** Back in the Royal court, [[Mahad]] tells the Pharaoh that his team of sorcerers is getting ready to erect a new seal around the tomb of [[Aknamkanon]] as they speak. He sets off to the tomb with his servants, carrying a giant Stone Sealing Tablet with him.** [[Isis]] tries to use her [[Millennium Necklace]] to foresee the future again. This time it shows glimpses of what's yet to come, including a tragedy awaiting [[Mahad]].*** [[Mana]] wants to accompany her master, but [[Shimon Muran]] prevents her from leaving, saying it is too dangerous and she is only a student. Thinking to himself, he also reveals that once [[Mahad]]'s strength as a wizard was so great he had to seal part of it to prevent harm from being done. If he were to '''unleash his true power''', he would be more powerful than any of the [[The Sacred Guardians|Sacred Guardians]] Priests in the Pharaoh's courtand the most powerful magician in the whole world.*** As he is leaving, [[Mahad]] is confronted by [[Isis]] who tells him of her doubts concerning his future. Mahad tells her not to worry and that he would prefer not to know what she saw. As he departs, Isis does tell him however that in her vision, "''he does returnDespite everything... In the end, the one who wins is you.''".* As he leaves the city we share a vision of [[Mahad]]'s childhood, and how he once saved the Pharaoh's life by getting bit by a poisonous snake instead of him. The Pharaoh then sucked the poison out of Mahad's wound. The Pharaoh (then Prince) claimed that he could not understand the class system. He announces that he wants to create a kingdom in which the class system doesn't exist (similar to the current society). Mahad is now swears determined to repay his favor defeat Bakura to ensure that the Pharaoh and defeat Bakura's dream can become a reality.** Instead of going to the Valley of Kings (where [[Aknamkanon]] is buried), [[Mahad]] goes to the SpellcasterMagicians's Training Sanctuary Ground and calls upon the power of his [[Millennium Ring]] to unleash the ancient power he once concealed there.
