Yugi was thrown into the wall for a second time, only this time he didn't wake back up. What the hell...? Was the his last thought before he passed out.

Ashleigh felt Yugi's pain with a jolt as the imposter turned back to it's orginal form. Aka ran to him.
"YUGI!" Ashleigh cried as she took over and ran to her husband. She picked him up.
"Yugi! Please respond" she pleaded and a tear fell down her face. When it touched Yugi's face, a blast of white light filled the room.

Yugi didn't respond--not that he didn't want to. He couldn't.

What the hell is wrong?! He thought. I can't move! Why's it dark?! Why can't I open my eyes?!

Tears sprung to Ashliegh's eyes.
"Don't die on me please" she said and she kissed him. A white shimmer appeared when they kissed.

Don't cry, Ashleigh, please. Yugi pleaded. Damn, what did that blast do to me?!

Just at that precised moment, Yugi's body began to shimmer. His clothes turned to white with a golden neck cuff and a golden belt. White wings sprouted from this back. From that Shimmer, Ashleigh turned into her angel form.
What's going on? she thought.

Yugi's eyes snapped open. "What the--" He was interrupted by a wad of wing in his face. "What the hell!?"

The wing flatterned and Yugi looked into Ashleigh's eyes. She was smiling.
"I thought I lost you" she said and both hugged each other.
The light faded and not just Atem and Aka stood in shock, Max couldn't believe her eyes. The thing cringed.
'Atem, is it me or does Yugi look different?' Aka asked Atem.
'Yugi's an Angel alright' Atem replied.
"Can somebody tell me what's going on?" Yugi asked.
"I have no idea" Ashleigh replied, "but together, we can do this." Yugi nodded and held hands. With their spare hands, they raised them and aimed at the thing. A huge power source rushed though their veins and blasted the impostor. This time, the blast hit it and it screamed.
"I had enough of you. It's ok to be angry but that always deceised. I don't need you to haunt me about what happened. I do have someone looking over me" Ashleigh cried.
"Be gone!" Yugi cried also. Then the thing was destroied once and for all. Ashleigh swayed side to side. Then her world went black.

---

'Mrs. Motou. Can you hear us?'
'Ashleigh. Ashleigh! Wake up! It's over now'
Ashleigh fluttered her eyelids before opening them. Yugi and Max was looking over her smiling. Yugi handed her a mirror. Instead of the haunting image, her disguise form image was shown.
"It's gone now" Yugi said.
"But you don't have to go on that mission" Max said.
"That's good because the Items aren't at the Dark Signers HQ. I sence that they're hidden in this building somewhere" Ashleigh replied.
"What?"

"Then that means that I sent that raid party out for no reason at all..." Max replied. "But then, why did Sakura pick up on the Millennium Items being at the Dark Signers' HQ?"

"Because they wanted you to believe that. They're the counterfits" Ashleigh replied, "Either that or Sakura read it wrong."

"Damn," Max muttered. "And we've lost communications with them to boot."

Ashleigh pulled her tracker. Instead of the gold dots, silver dots was bliniking.
"As I thought. It's the Star Items" she said.

Max took a look at the tracker. "Four. That means that they've got the remaining Star's Items." She replied. She turned to Yugi. "Has Melhana solved the Star's Puzzle yet?"

"No, and I doubt it'll be anytime soon." Yugi replied. "It took me eight years to finally solve the Millennium Puzzle."

"She will know when it's time" Ashleigh replied, "and it will happen when she gets back."

((Change of scenery....))

"Got it!" Sakura said. She was the last out of the lab. Kaiba was checking his watch.

"We've been here for nearly a half an hour already, and they still haven't noticed us here." He muttered. "Something's off."

"You're telling me." Aoi replied, tapping her Tauk. "So, we go after the Millennium Items they've got here?"

Kaiba nodded. "Let's go. Everyone, stay behind me and Sakura."

***

"Don't you think it's about time we get rid of the rat infestation?" One of the men at the table asked.

"I believe you're right." The man at the head replied. "Time to take them out. Send in the chimaeras."

"Wait, we haven't got the fairy back yet. Why is it taking so long?" asked a girl. It was Princess Amanda in disguise.
"She's nothing without us" said another.
"Without her, our plans won't go ahead" said another man.

"Oh, I've got another plan." The leader said. "I'm sure you all remember Yusei Fudo."

***

"Stop!" Sakura said suddenly.

"Why?" Kaiba and Judai asked in unison.

Sakura had the brim of her hat pulled down to cover her right eye. Kaiba knew she had that freaky eye of hers active under it. "Something's ahead, and it isn't human."

"Hmph," Kaiba muttered. "We're this far. We just need to get down to the underground level of this building, and we'll have those blasted Items."

Sakura nodded. "I'm just warning you." She replied.

***

I've got a bad feeling about that raid. Yugi thought.

The room murmered. Amanda tried not to gasp.
As I thought. He's going to do their dirty work she thought.
"He reconded he can cope with the shadow Realm" the man replied.

"He can't, and he'll pay the price for attempting to interfere with a true Shadow Game." The leader said. "He doesn't know it yet, but he's already been possessed by the Shadow Realm." He chuckled. And we're not going to stop there, He thought.

***

Aoi swung herself down and carefully lowered her legs to the ground. Sure enough it was solid. "Okay you two, c'mon." She whispered.

"This place stinks," Jun complained.

"No worse than your BO." Judai replied. "I'm surprised no one's noticed us just because of the smell. When was the last time you showered?"

"Shut up you two." Kaiba snapped. "We will be caught if you don't cut it out."

***

"Sire!" Someone said, running into the room and kneeling. "They've gotten to the lower level!"

"Then take your squad and stop them, you fool!" The leader replied. The one kneeling nodded and ran back out of the room.

When the meeting is done, I have to warn Yusei and fast. I can't purify him but I know which dragon who can. The Life Stream Dragon. It saved Luna, so I'm pretty sure it can purify him, possessed or not Amanda thought.
Another burst in and bowed.
"Our plan getting Ashleigh back has failed. The impostor has been desroried by her and her husband" he said.

"Shit," The leader muttered. "And the intruders?"

"They have been intercepted, Sire." The young man replied. The leader smiled softly.

"Good," He said quietly. "Now to see if we can kill the lot of them."

***

"Fucking shit!" Selena shouted. She fired another round, missing. As usual, she used her Demon Eye to direct it to her target. "Did you at least manage to get one Item?"

Judai held up a wooden box. "Two," He replied. His eyes flased dualchrome. "Now, how's about we take the rest of these down?"

"Exactly what I was thinking." Sakura replied. She drew and summoned a monster, using her Demon Eye to make it corpeal. "Take them out Barbaros!"

"Neos, help them out!" Judai called. His eyes had changed; the right was orange, and the left was a dark aqua. Not to mention that his aura was shimmering just out of the visual range. Aoi summoned a monster of her own; Teva.

"No attacking!" One of the goons shouted suddenly. He had his arm around Kaiba's neck, who was starting to have trouble breathing. "I've got a human shield here, so unless you want your buddy to die, call off your monsters."

"Bastard," Selena growled. "You're low, which pisses me off even more."

Amanda snuck out of the room, heading to the raid squad and sending a mental cry.
'Yusei! That bullet was a shadow bullet. You got two choices. Give into the power which is within you or check in at DMS world Rehab' she cried.

'I'm fine,' Yusei insisted. 'Trust me on this.'

But the truth was he wasn't. The wound in his shoulder, while it was fully healed, was causing him more pain than ever. Damn, at this rate I'm going to be driven insane from this stupid shoulder...!

***

"Just shoot the bastard, Sakura!" Kaiba gasped. The goon had one hell of a grip, that was for sure. He was being strangled, and slowly too. "Shoot him!"

"Yeah, and if she does your neck breaks, scrawny." The goon replied.

"Try it, asshole." Kaiba growled. He quickly regretted it as the goon's grip tightened. Kaiba couldn't hold back the hacking cough that escaped his mouth.

'I overhearad it. You're not fine. You have to do something and fast' Amanda pleaded.

'I already told you, I can handle--' He began, but he was cut off as his heart stopped. What the hell? I can't breathe. What's going on?

You're strong, I like that. A sneering voice said. Looking around the room, Yusei saw no one. Oh, I don't exist in the physical sense. Now, why don't you just hand over this nice body of yours, Signer?

No way, Yusei replied. He and the entity inside him were having a struggle to see who would take control.

Feisty, are we? The entity replied. Oh, well. I was hoping I wouldn't have to materialize to subdue you. A black mist formed around Yusei and entered into his mouth. Yusei gagged, unable to stop the thing.

N-no, He thought as he felt himself slipping away. This can't be happening.

Please, keep them all safe...... Was Yusei's last thought before he faded away. His body went rigid as the entity took full control.

"Well, time to get back to HQ." He said. He snapped his fingers, and dispersed in a black mist, leaving the room empty.

What he didn't notice was a single card lying face-down on the floor. Yusei had dropped it in his final attempt to keep the entity from taking control.

Stardust Dragon.
