As soon as Rishid introduced himself as Marik, he incurred the anger of many of those who were victims to the real Marik.
"You bastard! There's no way in hell I'll let you off the hook!" Jounouchi yelled out.
"So we meet once again," Rishid kept up the masquerade.
"I wanna beat the hell out of you right here and now, but I'd rather settle this fair and square in a Duel. You better prepare yourself!" The blond young man was shaking in anger.
"Leader of the tournament's evil organization, Marik. I'm free to disqualify you from this tournament. But rather than do that now, I'll beat you to a bloody pulp and take the god card away from you!" Kaiba threatened.
"That's right! My big brother's going to take revenge for everyone!" Mokuba exclaimed.
Rishid ignored them all and went to hand in his puzzle cards to Isono and Fuguta who handed him an identification card in exchange. It was taking a lot of willpower for Akia not to reveal the fact that Rishid was not Marik. She glanced at Namu and noticed that he was actually looking at her. When she caught his gaze, he quickly looked away and she thought she saw a faint redness on his cheeks.
"Will the eight finalists please give me your attention!" Isono called out to everyone, "I have an announcement to make. All of you have won the prelims and assembled here at the final location, Domino Stadium. However, this will not be the location of the finals."
Everyone looked confused at the statement.
"The real stage should appear before us momentarily," Fuguta informed them.
"What'd you just say?" Jounouchi asked.
"The real stage?" Yugi questioned.
Akia cocked her head in wonder. As if on cue, the spotlights got all angled upwards towards the sky. This naturally prompted everyone to look at what was above their heads.
"What's that?!" Jounouchi shouted in surprise.
In the sky, a gigantic blimp covered the sky. Akia's eyes sparkled in excitement. The blimp started descending to land inside the stadium.
"Amazing...!" Honda exclaimed.
"That's the place of the finals?" Yugi inquired.
"That's right! And it's called the Battle Ship!" Mokuba confirmed.
"Battle Ship?" Jounouchi repeated in question.
"Yup! The finals will take place one thousand meters in the air!" The younger Kaiba explained further.
The blimp's entrance opened up and stairs were laid out for the participants to board. Rishid was the first to board, followed by Marik. Mai then went next with Yugi, Akia, Bakura, and Jounouchi following behind her in that order.
"Dueling in the sky sounds pretty fun!" Mai stated.
"Mhm," Yugi nodded.
"I love the enthusiasm, Yugi," Akia chuckled while teasing her brother.
"Heh, I wish I was as carefree as you sometimes," Yugi told his sister.
"I'm super pumped for this! Bet even you, Akia, can't match my enthusiasm," Jounouchi challenged.
"You're on!" Akia replied enthusiastically.
Anzu, Honda, Shizuka, Otogi, and Ishizu started boarding, but Fuguta and Isono stopped them.
"Hey, you can't board without an I.D. card!" Fuguta called them out.
"Huh?!" Honda exclaimed.
