DISCLAIMER: We don't own anything. Don't sue us.

2 sisters, Eva and Fyre, lived in a house made of Lego. One day, Eva got out of her Lego-bed, and went over to her sister Fyre.

Eva- So, Fyre, what do you want to do today?

Fyre: We could invite Yuugi over and we can play Duel Monsters...?

Eva: Who, that midget? Fine. But I don't want to play him.

Fyre: Why not, sis? Afraid he'll beat you for like the 1000th time?

Eva: Shut up! *throws a large Mega Block at Fyre and she gets a big bruise on her forehead and has to wear a great big band aid on it like Mondo from Mon Colle Knights*

*5 mins later Yuugi arrives*

Yuugi: *overly friendly* Hi! Oh- Fyre, what happened to your forehead?

Fyre: Nothing. Really. *grabs her cell phone and calls over a large group of Kaiba Corp. thugs and they beat up on Eva*

Come on in, Yuugi. Eva's got some new cards, so now she thinks she can beat you..

Yuugi: Oh really, Eva? Well, get your deck together, and we'll duel! *smiles*

--EVA AND YUUGI DUEL--

Yuugi: Nice game, Eva. But you really should pack your deck with monsters with over 800 attack/defense points.

Eva: Well, I would, but *whispering* Fyre thinks she's so powerful just because she has connections with Kaiba Corp, and if I ever show how truly superior I am to her, she just gets others to hurt and abuse me!

Yuugi: Wow. That's a real problem for you then. I always thought you to were the best of friends!

Eva: Ya, well, now you know that it's all fake. Kaiba and Fyre stole all my good cards and split them up with each other. *sigh* I don't know what I'm going to do...

-Jounouchi pops in-

Jounouchi: Hey! Whatchu guys up to?... Did you beat Eva again?.. Hey, Eva... What happened to you? Did Honda and you have an argument or somethin'?

Eva: No, Jou. If you would open your eyes, you would see that Honda's not even here, and it's none of your business whether Yuugi beat me or not...

Yuugi: But I did.

Eva: Shut up, Yuugi.

Yuugi: *sees Jounouchi looking at Eva oddly* Um, Jou, I'm going to go and help Eva get her duel monsters cards back from Kaiba and her evil sister, wanna come?

Jounouchi: Whatever.

Eva: AW! You guys would do that for ME???

Yuugi: Of course we would! That's what friends are for. ^_^

Fyre: *overhears conversation* Well, don't expect Anzu or Honda to help, because I hypnotized them and now they're on MY side... MWA HA HA.

Yuugi: *does his little transformation thingy* We'll see about that...

Fyre: *shows millennium item* You may be a master duelist, Yuugi, but THIS makes any monster be under my control - in OR OUT of duels. And with Kaiba's help, we can take over the reign of Duel Monsters altogether! BWAHAHAHA! *runs off*

Kaiba: *peeks around corner and throws some kind of gold dust on Yami Yuugi* Just a little present for you, Yuugi!

Yami: *falls to knees, sounds weak* Agh!... I feel... strange... this dust ...it's... *turns back into Yuugi*

Yuugi: Yami! Yami! No! What has Kaiba done to you?!

Eva: Well, that was really mean, Kaiba...

Kaiba: So, that's what I do best... after being the duel monsters world champion of course!

Eva: Oh, sure you and my sister may have magical dust and a millennium item, but Yami taught me magic before so I can bring him back, SNOB!

(Eva tries to do the spell to bring Yami back, but it doesn't work)

Kaiba: Ha ha ha!

Eva: *pulls out a Mega Block and throws it at Kaiba, knocking him unconscious* Take that.

Yuugi: What do we do now, Eva? I mean, lets's face it. Without Yami I'm just some wimpy brat that at least 3 ft. shorter than everyone else, and plus Jounouchi's gone...

Eva: Huh? Where did Jounouchi go?

Yuugi: I don't know, but he's gone...

Eva: We'll have to do this the hard and dangerous way, Yuug. I didn't want to show this when Kaiba was conscious, but-

(Eva pulls out a millennium item of her own)

We can use this to open a portal to Yami's dimension and go find him!

Yuugi: Wow, you're so intelligent!

(The portal opens and they go through and come out in ancient Egypt)

Little did they know, Fyre was still there, holding Jounouchi hostage, and she and Kaiba got through the portal, too...

Fyre: *summons a Koumori Dragon, and it chases both Yuugi and Eva back through the portal*

Kaiba: *comes conscious again and goes back through the portal with Fyre*

(While Eva and Yuugi are figuring out what to do next, Fyre and Seto slam Honda, Anzu and Jounouchi in separate jail cells before they came out of hypnosis.)

Fyre: Alright, now let's perfect that mobile hologram emitter thing we've been working on. And after that, you can finally pay that Yuugi Mutoh back for beating you!

Kaiba and Fyre: MWAHAHAHA!

-meanwhile-

Yuugi: Oh, now what? We can't go back there with that Koumori Dragon flying around and toasting our behinds! It's hopeless.. You've lost your cards, and I've lost Yami ... I'm sorry ... *falls to knees and cries*

Eva: *smacks Yuugi as hard as she can and threatens to throw Mega Blocks at him if he doesn't get over it * Oh, come on Yuugi. Just shut up and listen to me... All Fyre and Seto Kaiba can comprehend are the technological answers... at least we know what human emotions are, and we have 2 millennium items with us, remember? We can still go through the portal.

*they go through the portal*

Yuugi: You're right, Eva. We can do this together. But I think you forgot about 1 important detail... the Koumori Dragon!!

Eva: *calmly* Don't worry. We have our millennium items to protect us. Now, where do you think Yami lives?

Yuugi: Well, since he's the pharaoh, I'd say a temple or something.

Eva: Oh, well what do ya know? There's a temple right next to us!

*they enter the temple*

Yuugi: Yami? Are you in here?

(Several guards come out of no where and threaten Yuugi and Eva with pointed wooden sticks... they didn't have guns or anything in ancient Egypt, ya know)

Guard: Halt, who goes there?

Eva: Um, we need to speak with your pharaoh... it'll only take a sec?

Guard 2: That's against the rules of this kingdom! No one shall-

Yami: *emerges from the shadows* Let them pass...

Yuugi: Yami! What happened?

Yami: Seto Kaiba's 'dust' rules your millennium item useless. When the dust was thrown, it got into your puzzle and sent me back to my own world. The only one who may undo the damage is- *a Blue Eyes roars in and kidnaps Yami*

Eva and Yuugi: Noooo!

(Laughter comes from the dark corners of the room)

Yuugi: Hey! Wh-who's there?, and what have you done with Yami?!

(Kaiba and Fyre show themselves)

Fyre: Yami? Who's that? Hehehe, you'll NEVER get him!

(Eva notices that Fyre has changed her outfit to look like Seto's)

Fyre: Oh, you like it? It's standard uniform now, and it's so comfortable! Anyway, *summons another Blue Eyes and destroys all guards* See yah's!

*Kaiba and Fyre disappear*

Eva: They're so heartless, how could they just destroy our modern world and then go and try to destroy Yami's world, too? We have to think up a better plan!

Yuugi: Well, I know something that MIGHT work....

(Yuugi tells Stacie the plan)

-- MEANWHILE! --

Kaiba: They'll never find us here!

Fyre: Nope.

(The slaves are building a Lego house in a dark part of the desert)

Fyre: I took the pieces from Eva's room, heh heh heh..

Kaiba: I don't think she'll be missing them anyway, at the rate those two fools are getting our strategy, they'll be stuck in this desert for the rest of their-

*Just then, Kaiba hears Mokuba whining like a little baby in the background*

Mokuba: Oh, save me big brother!

*Eva and Yuugi come out restraining Mokuba*

Eva: Fyre, since you and I are the only ones who can use our millennium items, we're going to the shadow realm!...

Fyre: Alright then!

(Eva and Fyre go to S. R.)

(Pegasus and Yami Bakura appear; they see Eva)

Pegasus: You! You're Yuugi's friend, aren't you? That boy ruined every chance of me ever getting to see my beloved Cynthia AGAIN! First, I think I will humiliate his friends and - *gasp* You've got a millennium item - just like that Yuugi! Bakura, give me my eye so I may defeat this "Eva" and get HER item!

Y. Bakura: Yes, of course, Pegasus. But after, it's mine again! And also, I have some grudges against Yuugi, and I prefer to see his closest friends suffer first! I believe I speak for the both of us when I say that Pegasus and I will join forces with Fyre, so that we, together, will defeat Yuugi and ALL his friends!

(Pegasus and Bakura take Fyre's side)

Eva: (tries to be brave and strong, but starts sobbing like a three year old) Please! Don't hurt Yuugi or Yami! They're the closest things I have to real friends and they belong together! All I wanted was to get my duel monsters cards so I could play fairly, with my friends, but now it just seems like everyone wants to hurt someone! Please just destroy me and let my friends go free! This life just isn't worth the price I'm willing to pay!

Fyre: Sister... I didn't think it would come to this, but Pegasus, Bakura, go ahead!

*Bakura goes up to Eva and tries and tries with all his might, but he can't get Eva' millennium item off her. Then Pegasus tries, but he can't either.*

Fyre: What's this? Could it be??

A Voice: Yes, Fyre. You are correct. Eva's millennium item is staying on her because she is pure of heart and not evil.

Fyre: No! This can't be!!

A Voice: Oh, but it is. You see, you were so blinded by avarice and greed, that you could see nothing but hate for all living creatures. You did not expect your sister to have kindness towards you after all you had done, but you were wrong.

Fyre: No!

The Voice: Yes, I'm afraid so...

(The voice materializes into Yami)

Yami: Eva, I'm so sorry you were put through this...

(Eva just continues to stare into nothingness)

Yami: ...

Fyre: Perhaps we could come to some sort of compromise after Kaiba and I take over Duel Monsters! Yami, you may have saved Eva for now, but I've still got my stuff, and her cards! Pegasus, Bakura, let's go!

*they leave and go back to the real world, that scares Yugi off, and Mokuba is freed*

Kaiba: Why must Mokuba be involved in every thing that goes wrong? *Notices Fyre's company* And just what do you think you're doing here?

Pegasus: Well, Kaiba-boy, we've been saved from being trapped in the shadow realm, and so we're returning the favor by helping you defeat Yugi, and taking over Duel Monsters! When that has been accomplished you may do whatever you wish with the both of us, as we are in your gratitude.

Kaiba: That's nice, but I don't want your help. Especially after what you put me and Mokuba through! I still-

Fyre: Kaiba, it seems you'll need more than that millennium dust to keep Yuugi down. I believe we will need their help, so just live with it for now. If they do anything stupid, I'll just send them back to where I found them! *glares at Pegasus and Y. Bakura* You two got that?

*they nod*

- BACK IN THE S.R.-

Yami: Eva? Eva, speak to me! There is a lot to do, you can't black out on me now Eva! I need you!

Eva: (in an empty voice) Yuugi is gone, the rest are still trapped, and my 'sister' (she said this world with hate and anger) has many powerful allies. *looks up to Yami* There is nothing we can do now... Go on and be pharaoh Yami. Pretend that none of this ever happened. You don't have to deal with it in you lifetime... I'll just go back to my world, where we have razor blades and tall bridges to jump off of.

*Just them Yami hit Eva across the face*

Yami: Don't put yourself in that state of mind, Eva. We can do this, and we will!

*Eva looked at Yami with a feeling of hopelessness*

*Fyre appears with the look of great superiority on her face*

Fyre: Aww, whasa matter? I just came to let you know the ENTIRE world of Duel Monsters will be OURS in the next 24 hrs. How will we do that? Well, that's easy. Both Kaiba and I have PERFECTED our mobile hologram emitter! Pegasus is a little jealous, but he'll get over it sometime. Anyway, just thought I'd let you know! So long!

Yami: Wait!

Fyre: *grumble* Now what?

Yami: Do you not have any feelings for your sister? No human emotions whatsoever?

Fyre: You wouldn't understand what it's like to be sisters with her sometimes... *looks up at the blackened sky and disappears*

Yami: (puzzled, turned to Eva) What does she mean by that?

Eva: (just looked at the ground and began to cry) You know, she's said a lot of things to me over the years, but this... is just the worst

*Yami and Eva didn't say anything for a long time*

*WHAT EVA WAS THINKING*

I wish I could tell Yami how much I appreciate him being my friend and always sticking up for me. I wish I could help him save the world, after all, like my cruel and heartless sister said, there's only 24 hrs. left. But I'm too weak to be of any use, I'm too emotionally fragile. H knows of my great powers, and I know he could really use my help, he said himself that he needed me, but I just- can't.

(NOTE: Eva has the power to envision things from the past, present and future. These come to her in the form of hallucinations. Some of the things she sees are very frightening, so that's why she is so scarred. She is also psychologically traumatized from Seto and Fyre's abuse.)

*WHAT YAMI WAS THINKING*

I know that Eva has control of a great power, but has it shaken her up too much? Or maybe her sister has had too much hate towards her, and she has taken in more than she can handle?... I just wish that she would snap out of this blank stare, and get a little hope into her life! I mean, she isn't THAT lost, is she? ... How long has she been living like this I wonder? Perhaps she is only looking for one who can be strong for her- stick up for what she cannot. Perhaps the millennium items brought these sisters together for that reason?

*Shadow Realm begins to shake*

Yami: EVA!! YOU HAVE TO SNAP OUT OF THIS! THE WORLD IS BEING DISRUPTED SOMEHOW! PLEASE, YOU HAVE TO BE STRONG! I KNOW I CANNOT HELP YOU IN THE OUTSIDE WORLD, BUT YOU HAVE TO TRY! IF YOU DON'T, I'LL BE DESTROYED!

- Meanwhile -

Kaiba: Finally! It's finished! Alright, Fyre, let's see a real live Blue Eyes!

(Fyre summons the great dragon and suits it with the hologram emitter)

All marvel at the real Blue Eyes!

Kaiba: Let's test it out... MWAHAHA...

----

As Yami screams and struggles to keep his balance, Eva has a vision~

~Eva's vision;

There was a town burning with people being burnt alive and blood everywhere. There were deafening, horrifying screams, and a Blue Eyes White Dragon ready to kill Seto and Fyre who were lying injured on the ground.~

Eva shut her eyes tight, as if trying to rid the image from her mind. She had been pulled back into reality and screamed to Yami;

"Their creation has gone out of control! Yami, we have to hurry!!!"

Eva's terrified voice echoed into the emptiness. She looked around, and saw the last traces of Yami disintegrating..

Eva: NO!!!

Yami: Eva! My fate is in your hands! It is you that must stop them! Remember that I am unable to leave this world! Go now, stop Seto Kaiba and Fyre!

- Back In The Real World -

Fyre: Hey, Blue Eyes flies great!

Kaiba: Of course it does! There is a monster that I would like to try next. It is that absolute strongest in all of Duel Monsters, and it has no equal. This monster was used by that of Yuugi Mutoh, and it was because of that monster that he won. I want to create Exodia!!

Fyre: Exodia! Great idea! Then not even Yuugi and his amazing playing skills can defeat us, seeing as he LOST his Exodia!

(Fyre and Kaiba land Blue Eyes)

Fyre: Okay, this may take a lot out of me, but it'll be worth it! Duel Monsters, meet your new masters: Me, Kaiba, and our Exodia! BWAHAHA! We shall be unstoppable!

Eva- (emerges from the shadow realm) Fyre, Seto, please stop this, I beg you!

Fyre: Oh, look. It's my powerless little sister, whom I loathe so much! Be gone, you brat!

Kaiba: Yeah. Who do you think you are, anyway? And how dare you get in our way?!

Eva: No, you don't understand! Your device, it's too powerful! You won't be able to control it!

Fyre: Oh, leave us alone, Eva. We know what we're doing. Besides, you can't really care about us after all we did to you and Yuugi and Yami.

Kaiba: She's right. This must be some sort of scam.. but no matter. We're going to be invincible! MWA HA, Fyre, assemble the five essential pieces we need to create... EXODIA!!!

Eva: No, don't! I had a vision! You won't make it!

Fyre: Enough of you and your visions... mom and dad seriously need to get you some medication...

*Fyre pulls out the Exodia cards and places them into her invention*

Eva: SISTER!!!

Fyre: I ain't listening to you anymore! *turns on the emitter and starts powering from her millennium item*

(Device overloads and blows up)

*Eva breathes a sigh of relief for the moment*

Kaiba: Darn it! I should've known... It needs a higher resistor for the 386 chip! Hold on, I'll get the replacements. It'll only take a second to put the new pieces in. *goes inside*

Fyre: Don't get too hopeful there, sis. This WILL be done, whether you like it or not!

Eva: Fyre, I know you and Kaiba have feelings just like every other human being. And I'm really, really, sorry, but I have to do this- for Yami.

*Eva shoves her sister on the ground and starts ripping wires and microchips out of the emitter*

Kaiba returned and saw this. He grabbed Eva's arm, and pinned her on the ground.

Kaiba: Luckily, I had a back up plan in case Yuugi or one of his friends tried to pull something like this... *pulls out a high tech laser gun thing* Say goodbye, brat!

Eva: *cringes in fear* Seto, this is not right!

Kaiba: What's not right is you messing with my creations! *points gun to Eva's forehead and...*

Fyre: Hey, Kaiba! It should work now! All she did was pull a timer chip out of it's slot, and sever a couple wires, but I've soldered them back. Now, come help me in case I use up too much of my own energy and collapse or something!

Kaiba: You got real lucky that time, kid, but next time...*shoots into ground*

(Yuugi comes over to see how Eva is, and to see how far Kaiba and Fyre have gone into their plans)

Yuugi: *sees Eva on the ground* Eva! Are you alright? What have they done to you this time?

*Eva is speechless*

Yuugi: Something bad. Really bad! And Yami still hasn't come back! Do you have any idea what's going on?

Eva: Um, Yuugi, I don't really know how to break this to you, but... Yami isn't coming back.

Yuugi: What?!

Eva: It's no use. Kaiba and Fyre have already done to much damage, there's nothing more I can do! I mean, it's not like I didn't try! I guess... the bad guys are going to win this time.

Yuugi: No, I can't accept that! We-

Eva: Yuugi! Listen, I admire your determination, but, just, get over it! Nothing we do can help now!

Yuugi: B- but... we could open the portal again! And, And...

Eva: We just can't! I don't' have the strength! And your millennium puzzle won't work anymore! Don't you get it? IT'S OVER...

Yuugi: So you're saying.. that this is it? You give up? Well, I CAN'T!

(Yuugi used up all his strength and power to bring Yami out of him. Yami emerged, but he was very weakened.)

Yami: I won't last long... Yuugi is a very determined boy, but part of me is beginning to believe what you said, Eva...

Eva: Yami- you're barely able to stand.

*Eva caught Yami as he fell*

Kaiba, Fyre... we surrender.

Kaiba: What's this? You surrender? Well, Yuugi Mutoh, I'd rather have you a game of duel monsters. The winner of this wins you millennium puzzle. If you win, I'll remove the dust and it's yours. If I win, your item is mine!

Yami: ...Please... let... Eva ... duel ... for ... me........

Eva: But Yami!... How can I stand up to that?

Yami: ...Heart... of... cards... *holds out his own deck*

Eva: *takes deck* I'll be dueling for Yuugi!

*Suddenly, a bright light appears from behind Seto, and Exodia, the Forbidden One appears*

Fyre: TRULY AMAZING, DON'T YOU THINK?!

Eva: No fair!!!

~Suddenly, Eva flashes back to when she was younger. She had just gotten some new cards, and she went to show her sister. Fyre viciously grabbed the cards away.

"Ahh. 2 pieces of Exodia... I'll be taking these... " she said as she threw all the other cards at Eva, leaving her sitting with the cards scattered all around her~

Eva laughed an insanely evil laugh, and pointed to Exodia.

Kaiba: What? What are you laughing at, you freak?

Eva: It's like Yami said, "heart of the cards". They will only listen to their rightful owner, and half of those Exodia cards- AND most of the cards in your deck- are rightfully MINE!

Kaiba: *short "oh no!" expression, then evil again) Ha. Who cares? I still have PLENTY of powerful cards to beat you! Besides, Exodia's useless to you without every piece... MWA HA HA! *draws first card* I play-

Fyre: Silly fools. Have you forgotten that MY millennium item allows me to control or/and summon any monster I wish? All I have to do is call upon the power of my item- EXODIA, CONTROL!! - and now Exodia is under my control! Hah! Easy as pie - and your little Yuugi friend will be so sad without his puzzle... what do you intend on doing now?

(Yami fades; transforms back to Yuugi, who falls asleep)

Kaiba: Time is running out... Oh, too late! Exodia, OBLITERATE!!!

(Exodia does not move)

Fyre: I think it only listens to me, cause I've got my millennium item. Exodia, OBLITERATE!

(Exodia does not move)

Fyre: I think your equipment is flawed...

Exodia: I am no longer fully Exodia. You see, Exodia was created by the pharaoh so that he could not be beaten. Now that the pharaoh is no longer flesh and blood, he is a spirit, who you know as Yami.

Fyre: Exodia talks?

Kaiba: I didn't program that!!

Exodia: I was programmed by no one. I have joined spirits with Exodia only temporarily though. I AM Yami, and Eva, I am alright.

*Eva finally collapses form exhaustion, but manages to give this speech first*

Eva-"Exo- Uhm, I mean, Yami, I don't want you to destroy Kaiba or Fyre. It's not that they don't deserve it, it's because I think they finally realize what the heart of the cards really stands for. And now, you, me, Seto, and Fyre can live together in peace.

Exodia- As you wish.

*Yami uses the power of Exodia to put everything back to normal*

----

When Eva woke up again, she was in her house made of blocks and saw her full deck siting there. All her cards were back.

Eva: Thank you Yami.

THE END.
