# Chapter 125: The Yawns, They Just Won't Stop
Keith, who had fallen unconscious, was carried away by people from Industrial Illusions for the crime of "attacking Pegasus." He was taken to an unknown location, but according to the Old Butler, he would be expelled from the Island and receive the Punishment he deserved.
The next Duel, the third one, was between Yugi and Kujaku Mai. This meant the fourth Match would be Samejima Iemitsu versus that Lemuria. Pegasus had left after watching Hayato's Duel, seemingly uninterested in Yugi's upcoming Duel. This angered Joey Wheeler somewhat, who felt that Pegasus was looking down on Yugi, and looking down on Yugi was looking down on him.
Walking alone in the corridor, Hayato felt that perhaps Pegasus believed Yugi and Kujaku Mai were not Evenly Matched Opponents at all. Kujaku Mai didn't have the ability to force out more of Yugi's Potential, so Pegasus wasn't very interested in the third Duel because he had already seen through the Duel's Ending; it would only be Yugi's Victory.
After finishing his own Duel, Hayato didn't stay in the Spectator Area to watch Yugi's Match. Instead, he told Joey Wheeler and the others that he had left something in his Room and needed to go back to get it, thus leaving the Duel Arena. However, it was just an Excuse.
Taking out two Cards from his body, the two Ojama Monster, Ojama Blue and Ojama Red, jumped out of the Cards and appeared before Hayato.
"It's time for you Small Fry to be useful."
"Yes, My lord!"
The two Ojama Monster saluted Hayato like clowns, then began searching for the Aura of the Ojama Brothers that Hayato had placed on Keipei.
Although according to the Anime Plot, Pegasus would release Kaiba, Keipei, and Grandpa Solomon , whom he controlled, after being defeated by Yugi, Keith's recent experience forced Hayato to consider a question—was Pegasus ultimately dead or alive? Because according to the Manga Plot, Pegasus was killed by Dark Bakura after his Duel with Yugi.
Although he had already banished Dark Bakura through a Dark Game, considering that Dark Bakura in the original work had repeatedly jumped between life and death, Hayato had no doubt that the guy would return for Revenge.
This meant that the previously certain matter of "defeating Pegasus will release the Soul he holds" now had a Variable. What if some Accident happened, and Pegasus died, and Keipei, Kaiba, and Grandpa Solomon couldn't turn back? That would be Bad.
Just as he was thinking, a shout from Ojama Blue called back Hayato's wandering thoughts: "Aniki, I found Big Brother Yellow and them, nye~"
Ojama Blue was on all fours like a dog, sniffing around with its non-existent nose. At this moment, it seemed to have caught the scent it wanted, standing up excitedly and pointing in one direction: "They're over there, aru! I smell Big Brother Yellow's Durian Smell!"
A vein popped on Hayato's forehead. He grabbed Ojama Blue by the scruff of its neck and lifted it in front of him: "Do you even listen to what you're saying? You Idiot don't even have a nose, okay? How can you smell Durian Smell!?"
"It's the Bond of the Ojama tribe, da!" Ojama Blue retorted confidently.
"Alright, I'll believe you this once. Lead the way!" Hayato put Ojama Blue back down on the ground, looked up at the Surveillance Camera in the corridor, and gave a provocative smile to the person on the other side of the camera. "We have to steal the stuff before Master finds out. Phantom Thief of Hearts, sortie!"
Watching Hayato put the Cards back in his pocket and leave on the screen, Pegasus sat calmly in his seat, putting down the Fairy Tale Book and revealing an interested smile: "As expected, you always manage to bring me surprises, Hayato boy~"
The Old Butler behind him asked, "Master Pegasus, do you need to Transfer the location of the Kaiba Brothers?"
"No, leave them where they are. Anyway, no matter where I take them, Hayato boy will always find a way, won't he?" The Old Butler didn't have this kind of talent, but Pegasus had clearly seen Ojama Red and Ojama Blue appear beside Hayato. "The number of Card Spirit he can command is increasing. I originally thought the Power on Keipei boy was a countermeasure left by Kaiba boy..."
"Now I see, it turns out it was a Ball of Yarn left by Hayato boy."
Pegasus calmly took a sip of Red Wine, savoring the liquid lingering in his mouth. He opened his single eye visible outside his silver hair: "In Ancient Greek Mythology, Theseus used a Ball of Yarn to break Minos's Labyrinth, but even a Hero seeking final Glory must accept the Minotaur's Challenge."
He waved a hand behind him: "Send those two failed guys over there. Consider it atonement for their Crime. It's also a small Challenge for Hayato boy."
"Yes, Your Will." The Old Butler withdrew to carry out Pegasus's Order. The image on the screen in front of Pegasus also changed to the Footage from the Duel Arena; Kujaku Mai and Mutou Yuugi's Duel had already begun.
Originally, Kujaku Mai had challenged Yugi following Hayato's Suggestion in search of an answer, but halfway through, she was provoked by the arrogant Joey Wheeler and shifted her Duel Target, ultimately losing to the Power of Joey Wheeler 's Time Wizard.
This time, Kujaku Mai finally faced Yugi, and right from the start of the Duel, she Summoned her beloved Harpie Lady, using various Support Cards to apply Destroy effects to Yugi's Spell/Trap Zone, temporarily gaining the upper hand.
"Harpie Lady's Card, skilled at Spell/Trap Zone Suppression, perfectly counters Yugi boy's Deck which is primarily Spell/Trap Card based. However..." Pegasus paused, then picked up the Fairy Tale Book again to read. "Yugi boy's potential is like an Iceberg; there's still more Potential yet to be unearthed."
"Compared to a Duel that makes people want to sleep, the Story in this book is much more interesting." Talking to himself, Pegasus seemed to have found an interesting Passage in the Fairy Tale Book and burst into laughter.
And guided by Ojama Blue's seemingly unreliable directions, Hayato actually found the Passage leading to the Castle's underground. He went down the Stairs, pushed open the Door, and what entered Hayato's sight were two rows of dark, eerie, and empty Cage.
"Eek! This place looks so scary!" Ojama Red clung to Hayato's hair, seemingly frightened by the Dungeon, which had a completely different vibe from the Castle above. "Did people die here before?"
"Not possibly, but definitely." As Hayato walked forward along the walkway in the middle of the Dungeon, he casually pointed to an empty Cage beside him. A pale Skeleton Arm reached out between the Iron Bars, its owner leaning its Skull against the side of the Cage.
