Atem and the others return to present-day Egypt, where they are met by Marik, Ishizu, Odion, and even Bakura, who has finally been freed from Zorc's malevolent grasp. Atem has set his mind to sealing the seven Millennium Items with himself. Someone must defeat Atem in a duel to do so and lthough Kaiba and Joey both volunteer, Yugi takes the honor. The duel will take place tomorrow and both Pharaoh Atem and Yugi construct the best deck possible.
