Before he dozed off, G.K. could feel the chopped ignite, spinning away into the sky, after everyone had boarded.
G.K. stood before Atem, who's back was turned.
"About time you figured that out. How did you learn how to contact me?"
"You're a part of me now, so I assumed that I just needed to focus. Where are we?"
"This is the inside of the Millennium Puzzle. It's quite barren at times."
"Huh. Didn't expect it to be so blue."
They stood in a seemingly infinite void, where the floor, the horizon, and the sky was colored a deep azure, seeming to grow darker with increasing and decreasing altitude. There was no light, and no reflection; yet G.K. could see perfectly. It looked as if there was no floor at all; yet he could feel it. It was perfectly smooth; possibly even smoother than the face of the planet; pure level.
"This is not the true Puzzle. However, it's easier to contact others here. Now then. What is it you're here for?"
"Do you know exactly what we're up against?"
Atem looked up, then back. "I can barely grasp it myself."
"That bad, huh?"
"Yes. We have several cards that pose a small threat. However, they pose a small threat and nothing more."
"What cards would they be?"
"Well, your friend possesses the Claw of Hermos. Yugi has the Eye of Timaeus. And I have something that nobody can know about."
"You can tell me, right?"
"I suppose. I have two of the three Egyptian God Cards. When I returned to the world, so did they."
"Which ones?"
"I have Slifer the Sky Dragon and the Winged Dragon of Ra."
"What happened to the third one? What was it called... Ebolisk?"
"Obelisk the Tormentor. I don't have it, but I know where it is."
"Where is it?"
"The less people that know, the better. So I'm sorry, but..."
"I get it. So, of all of the people to find the Puzzle, why me? If you were inside of it, it can't be by pure luck that somebody finds it."
"You are smart. You see, I;m sure you've heard the basic legend of the Puzzle."
"Yeah. If you can put it together, you get one wish."
"Your wish was the same as Yugi's. You were both naive, new, and lacked friendship; something you both desired. Those who want the Puzzle for pure intentions of the wish deserve the power to change the world. Exactly what we need right now."
"Another world-changer."
"Exactly. Now, I can't reveal the Egyptian God Cards just yet. If anybody finds out we have them, we'll be revieving challenges for them left and right."
"I heard on the news that after the Battle City tourney, people swarmed the Game Shop begging for a shot at the God Cards."
"Exactly."
"Now one more thing."
"Go ahead."
"What do you mean when you said, A fight is coming?"
Atem sighed. He turned around, placing a hand on G.K.'s head. G.K. saw something tens of miles away. It was another copter, with four of the masked men. There was a fifth, who G.K. didn't recognize However, he wore a horned mask that curled around his head.
"Who is..."
"I don't know. Right now, we need to discuss a battle strategy."
"What have you got?
