My Little Duel Monsters Ch.1

It was a nice summer day in Domino City. The sun was bright, people were going to and from work and of course, the everyday ‘Duel Monsters battle to the finish!’

“It won’t be long now until your title is finally mine Yugi; you don’t stand a chance this time. You’re down to your last 700 life points with no monsters on the field and I have my Blue-Eyes White Dragon out on the field. You can’t win!”

Blue-Eyes White Dragon: < Level 8 / ATK: 3000 >

Seto Kaiba: < LP: 2400 >

Yugi Moto: < LP: 700 >

Yugi Moto; currently Yami; and Seto Kaiba, Domino City’s biggest rivals were having another battle to determine who was better. Kaiba had set the match to take place on the second biggest building in the city, second to KaibaCorp headquarters. Their battle overlooked the entire city.

“Don’t be so sure Kaiba! It’s my move!” Yugi placed two fingers and the top of his deck and dramatically drew his next card. He then slowly turned the card over so he could see it. “Alright Kaiba, watch this! I activate my first face down card, Pitch Black Power Stone!” Yugi pressed one of the buttons of the back of his Duel Disk, causing a face down card to slowly flip up revealing a trap card. “This card gives me access to 3 extra spell counters.”

“HA! A couple measly Spell Counters aren’t going to help you!” Kaiba was always arrogant. He never realized when he was beat. “If that’s your best then I suggest giving up now.”

“You thought that was all?”

“What are you planning!?”

“I activate my other face down, Miracle Restoring!”

“OH NO!”

“Oh yes… By removing 2 spell counters from my Pitch-Black Power Stone, I can summon the Dark Magician that is in my graveyard...” The stone began to glow. “Now come forth my monster!” The blue sphere created by Yugi’s Miracle Restoring card exploded in a large blinding yellow light. When the light cleared, a new monster stood on Yugi’s side of the field. “Come out my Dark Magician!” The monster was well known as Yugi Moto’s signature monster, a staff wielding wizard wearing purple armor and a large pointed hat.

Dark Magician: < Level 7 / ATK: 2500 >

“Yugi, I won’t let you defeat me again!”

“Sorry Kaiba, but I already have duel in the palm of my hand.” Yugi took the last card he was holding in his hand and slid it into one of the slots on the back of his Duel Disk. “I activate Polymerization to merge my reborn Dark Magician with the Buster Blader in my hand!” Yugi’s final card flipped up and moved in between Yugi’s Dark Magician and Buster Blader. The two monsters started swirling together into a weird vortex as look of utter fear appeared in Kaiba’s eyes as though looking into the eyes of Death himself. He knew what was coming. “Now I summon Dark Paladin, the ultimate wizard! There was another explosion as a single monster with an appearance similar to Dark Magician but his armor was blue with a red trim and he was wielding a long bladed staff. He twirled the staff several times up above his head before slamming the end on the ground sending out a mass of shockwaves. The force nearly pushed Kaiba off the building.

Dark Paladin: < Level 8 / ATK: 2900 >

“I know you have experienced with this monster in the past Kaiba...” Yugi was right. This was the same monster he used to defeat him in the Battle City finals. Kaiba would never forget that battle. The day where he lost his Egyptian God card and the day where he and Yugi were sent back in time to find Egypt in ruins. “As you know, Dark Paladin gains 500 attack points for every dragon on the field and in the graveyard. You have 4 dragons in your graveyard plus the Blue-Eyes White Dragon on your field. That means my Paladin gains 2500 attack points!”

Dark Paladin: < ATK: 2900 → 5400 >

Kaiba suddenly lost all confidence. “But that is enough to-”

“Take out the rest your life points... Now my Paladin, attack and destroy his Blue-Eyes White Dragon!”

Kaiba began to yell out in anger like he always does. “I won’t let you win again, especially not with same monster! I activate my face down card, Enemy Controller!” A giant video game controller appeared in front of Kaiba head. “Go controller, Up, down, left, right, B, A!” The button pressed themselves down as Kaiba called of the inputs.

“Kaiba, don’t you realize that cheating gets you nowhere?” Yugi’s sarcastic remark only made Kaiba angry. “By discarding a card from my hand, my Paladin is able to negate your magic card.” Yugi plucked out a card from his hand and slid it into the open slot on the front of the Duel Disk.

“NO! THAT’S IMPOSSIBLE!” Dark Paladin blasted the controller, turning it into a smoldering pile of plastic.

“Face it Kaiba, you’ve lost...” Dark Paladin held his staff up high yelling a battle cry. “Dark Paladin, attack Kaiba’s Blue-Eyes and end this duel!” Dark Paladin twirled his staff before slamming it against the ground. The impact sent out a massive blade-like shockwave that sliced through the ground leaving a large line behind it.

“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!” The wave passed through Kaiba’s dragon cutting him in half like butter. Kaiba stood there holding his arm in front of his face trying to block out the smoke that was covering the field. The massive explosion could be seen the city streets.

Seto Kaiba: < LP: 2400 → 0 >

“It’s finished...” The wizard standing on Yugi’s side quickly vanished and Yugi retracted his Duel Disk into its off state. He walked up to Kaiba who was now on one knee.

“Why? Why can I never defeat you?”

“No matter how many times you ask, the answer will always be the same.”

“Yah yah, the heart of the cards and all that junk...” Kaiba stood back up looking down at Yugi.

“Until you can truly grasp the heart of the cards, you’ll never win. You let you’re jealousy and arrogance cloud you’re mind.”

“Listen Yugi, I don’t need any of your magic mumbo jumbo in order to win. I am a champion duelist, and eventually I will defeat you and claim what is rightfully mine.”

“Kaiba...” Yugi had some frustration in his voice.

“Enough...” Kaiba rose back to his feet again and towered over Yugi. “I’m not going to listen to your garbage anymore. Since I did drag you up here I am willing to give you a ride but I want to hear no more heart of the card crap.”

“Alright, I accept your offer.” A helicopter with the logo ‘KC’ on the side appeared in the distance. It came and touched down on the building. Roland, Kaiba’s right-hand man signaled for the two to get on.

“This is our ride Yugi. Better get on now, I’m not waiting for you.” Kaiba and Yugi hopped into the chopper and set off. The trip was pretty standard, for a while anyway... Yugi spent the trip staring outside the window, not really focused on anything. Then he looked up at the sun that was almost completely set on the horizon.

"Yugi…"

“Huh?” Yugi was a bit startled. He looked back at Kaiba who was looking out the other window. He was not paying him any attention. He looked back outside at the sun again. “That was strange…” While he looked out the window, he noticed something odd about the sun. He tried to focus in on but all he could make out was a very faint figure. It had wings and what looked like to be a pointed head.

“Yugi? Hey Yugi...” Kaiba held out his arm and snapped his fingers a couples times. “Hello? Is anybody in there?”

“Huh?” he turned back to Kaiba.

“It looked like you were in a trance or something. I guess that is pretty normal for you though.”

“I thought I heard a voice…”

“Not again...”

“I’m being serious Kaiba. It sounded like someone was calling for me and I thought I saw some image in the sun.”

“You know staring at the sun is not healthy for your eyesight?”

“Hmm…” Yugi reached into his deck box and pulled out three cards, Slifer the Sky Dragon, Obelisk the Tormentor and the Winged Dragon of Ra. He stared at them for a short bit. ‘Could this be somehow connected to the god cards? Or perhaps…’ He looked down at the Puzzle hanging around his neck. ‘Perhaps it’s something inside my Millennium Puzzle?’ Suddenly, his puzzle and the god card in his hand started to glow. “What the?”

“Yugi, what’s with light show!?”

“I don’t know. The gods are reacting for some reason!” ‘Does it have something to do with the voice I heard?’ It was bright. They couldn’t see anything but each other.

“This better not be another trick, Yugi!”

“I’m not doing this Kaiba! The gods are doing this on their own!”

The chopper rocked and shook. Roland was having trouble keeping the chopper stable. “Mr. Kaiba, what is going on back there!?” He tried looking back but even his sunglasses didn’t stop the bright light. He gripped onto the controls and tried to stabilize the spinning chopper; it took a few seconds but he eventually got things back on track. He sighed and wiped the sweat off his face. He activated the autopilot and stepped back where Yugi and Kaiba were. Only now they were nowhere to be found. “Uh… Mr. Moto? Mr. Kaiba? Anyone?” He was completely alone. “Oh boy, Mokuba is not going to be pleased when he hears about this…”

---

Yugi and Kaiba found themselves falling in the center of a large blue and orange vortex. Neither of them had any idea what was going on. Yugi looked over towards Kaiba who was yelling and looking down into the void below. Kaiba seemed to flash blue for a fraction of a second. Yugi wasn’t sure but it felt like the blue aura was making the shape of something. Yugi suddenly flashed purple, just like Kaiba did. The edge of the vortex was very slightly transparent; Yugi could see what looked like mountains and landscapes outside. As he looked down into the black void below him, a pair of red eyes looked back at him. The faint shape of a pair of wings came into view before he blacked out.

---

Seto Kaiba awoke with a splitting headache and no idea of what just happened. He slowly opened his eyes to see he was in some kind of hospital. A feeling of relief fell over him knowing he was still alive. He’s already lost his soul twice, once by Pegasus and again by Dartz, and he didn’t want it happening again. However something was off. He felt a little uncomfortable in his current position, like there was something on his back.

“I’m glad to see you are awake.” Kaiba turned and saw something truly unexpected and terrifying. A small white horse standing next to the bed... Talking to him!

“What the!? What are you!?” Kaiba jumped at the sight of this thing. “What is going on!? Where am I!?”

“I thought you would react this way. Your friend was the same when he learned he was a pony.”

Kaiba thought for a second before responding. “When he learned he was a-” Kaiba looked down at his hands... or at least what was left of them. His hands were flat like hooves and he had grown wings that were sticking out through holes in his shirt. He had a dark blue coat and a brown mane that resembled his normal hair. “WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME!?” He charged at the horse nurse and grabbed her. “You better tell me what is going on here!?”

“Just go into the waiting room. Your friend will explain everything.”

“You better be right.” Kaiba released the pony and slowly trotted out of the room, eyeing the weird white pony that stood by the bed. As Kaiba left the room, he saw a violet-color pony with spiky black and yellow hair and a blue jacket. “YUGI!” Yugi turned around; his eyes were now innocent and hair was not as spiky as before. “You better explain to me what’s going on here RIGHT NOW! This better not be one of your pathetic illusions.

“Well…I’m not really sure myself. I pretty much had the same experience you did.” Yugi voice had also changed, making him sound like a child.

Kaiba groaned. “First I’m sucked up by some bright light then I wake up to find out I have been turned into some idiotic cartoon horse! This is downright humiliating!”

“At least we are not alone.” Yugi looked around the hospital waiting. There were no humans at all; just ponies of many different colors. Some ponies had wings, some had horns and some had neither. “Wherever we are, these horses seem to act just like the humans in our world. I haven’t seen a single human since we got here.”

“How do I know we were not just thrown into another digital realm like before?”

Yugi looked down at his hooves. “That is a good point but somehow I don’t think that is case. We have newly shaped bodies but I still feel… Me… If you understand what I am saying.”

“Well I refuse to stay in some little town that looks like it’s from a cartoon made for girls. There is no way this is real!”

“Kaiba please, we need to focus. There must be somebody here who can help us.”

About that time, a lavender horned pony come in through the front door and approached the receptionist. “Hello, I was informed you recently had a couple odd ponies come in, a purple unicorn and a blue pegasus.” The mare pointed over towards Yugi and Kaiba. “Thank you Miss.” The horned pony approached them. “Hello.”

“Hi?” Yugi replied reluctantly. “Do you know us?”

“I got a letter telling me to head over to the Ponyville Hospital to meet a pair of ponies, a purple unicorn pony and a blue pegasus.” She looked up at Yugi’s head. “Wait a minute, where is your horn? I was told you were a unicorn.”

Yugi placed his hoof on his head and felt around. “Well, the nurse said I had a horn when they brought me in but it seems to have mysteriously vanished.”

“Strange… Anyway, my name is Twilight Sparkle. What about you?”

“My name is Yugi Moto.”

Twilight turned to Kaiba. “And you?”

Kaiba didn’t respond too well. “Now you listen here, I am the president of the biggest gaming company in the world and I demand answers as to where we are or I’ll face the entire weight of the Kaiba Corporation!”

“Woh Kaiba, calm down...” Yugi interrupted. “She is clearly here to help. The nicest thing you can do is listen to what she has to say. You are here to help us right?”

“Of course!” Twilight peeped. “I wouldn’t be where I am today if I didn’t help ponies in need.”

“Good because needless to say, we are a little lost...”

“That’s OK! Why don’t you pick up your stuff and we’ll head over to my tree house.”

“Tree house?” Kaiba questioned. “This is going to be a looooooong day...”

Ignoring Kaiba, Yugi had walked up to front desk and was talking with the pony. “We’re here to pick up our stuff. I came in with Duel Disk, a deck of Duel Monster cards and a necklace that looked like pyramid.”

The desk attendant raised her eyebrow. “A Duel what now?”

“Oh uh...” He had forgotten that he was in a completely different world, one where Duel Monsters appears to have never been invented. He had to think of something. “It’s a round thing with wings-like things you slide into your arm...” The attendant continued to look in disbelief but pulled out a box with Yugi’s stuff anyway. “Thank you ma’am.” He reached into the box and pulled out his Duel Disk. It took a little effort but he eventually slipped it onto his front left hoof. Next he took his belt and wrapped it around his waist. Luckily his box still had his cards. Finally, he took his Millennium Puzzle and wrapped it around his next. The second he dropped it and it fell on his shoulders, Yugi froze and jerked back with a quick burst of light.

“YUGIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!”

Yugi’s hair had spiked outward and a horn spontaneously appeared on his head. “What the, where am I?” Then he looked down at his hooves. “AH, where are my hands!?”

Twilight was confused about what just happened. “Um… Well his horn is back but what exactly is going on?”

“Slow down there Yami! Everything is ok.” Yugi felt an arm on his shoulder. It was Yugi’s spirit standing behind him that only he could see.

“Yugi? What exactly is going on?”

“Well that’s what I am trying to figure out Yami. From what I can tell, we have been transported to another world and we have become some kind of miniature horse called a pony.”

“Well that would explain what that weird light did but why are we ponies?”

“Hmm... Maybe ponies are the dominant species in this world? They seem to do everything humans do back in our world.” Yugi pointed his hoof over to the lavender unicorn. “That is Twilight Sparkle. I think she wants to help us out and she seems nice enough.”

“You mean that purple one standing by... Standing by... Is that? Is that Kaiba?”

“Yeah, needless to say he is a little disgruntled right now...” Yugi looked back at the Pharaoh and looked him over. He looked pretty much the same as him just slightly different hair and a horn. “Oh, so THAT is what happened to my horn!”

Yami was confused. Using his hoof, he felt his forehead. Sure enough, there was a little stump sticking a few inches out of his head. “Huh, would you look at that.” As he touched it, a golden spark shot out. “Oh, it’s magic…”

“Maybe that is why you have a horn and I don’t. You have a history with magic and I am just a normal person.”

“Interesting… So what do you propose we do now that we are here?”

“Twilight said she would take us to her home. She didn’t say anything about what is going on but she is the only lead we have.”

“I guess it’s better than nothing…” Yugi vanished and Yami approached Twilight.

“What was that all about?” Twilight asked. “First you grow a horn and then you begin talking to yourself. What is going on here?”

“Huh… I guess I have quite a bit to explain…”

---

Yugi, Kaiba and Twilight headed though Ponyville towards Twilight’s home. On the way, Yugi tried to explain the situation between him and the real Yugi. “So you see, I am a completely different person then who you met back at the hospital. Yugi and I share a body and we can swap at will.”

“So what is your name then?” Twilight asked.

Yugi stopped for a moment. “Well, I don’t actually know...”

“I don’t follow…”

“There is a lot about my past I don’t know; all of my memories were lost. All I know is that I am pharaoh from Egypt over 5000 years ago and that I somehow became sealed within this-” Yugi grabbed the puzzle around his neck and showed it to her.

Twilight examined the puzzle. “I’ve never seen anything like it.”

“It’s actually one of seven Millennium Items as they are called. This one is the Millennium Puzzle.”

“So if you can’t remember your name, what do they call you?”

“Most people just continue to call me Yugi since we share a body but I am called Yami or Pharaoh on occasions.”

“So, Yami, are you really over 5000 years old?”

“If what I have been told is true then yes.”

“That is amazing! You are even older then the Princess!”

“The Princess?”

Twilight nodded. “Princess Celestia, she controls the sun. I’m also her number one student and personal protégé.”

Yami’s mind stopped. “Can you repeat that? Controls the sun?”

Twilight chuckled at Yami's ‘joke’. “It’s not like it moves on its own. Who ever thought of a colony where nature controls itself? That’s why the Everfree Forest is so weird.”

Yugi’s spirit appeared again. “They control nature here?” Yugi asked.

“This world is quite unusual. I am quite interested to see what else this place has in store. Maybe we will find out the reason we were brought here. I get the feeling our puzzle had nothing to do with us being here.”

“Yeah, I have that feeling too. This doesn’t seem like anything we have experienced in the past.”

“Hey guys, we’re here.” interrupted Kaiba. They were now standing in front of a large hollowed out tree. “Well, at least now I can see how the economy of this world is...”

“What’s that supposed to mean?” Twilight replied.

“Don’t mind Kaiba...  He owns KaibaCorp, the biggest gaming company in the world and I imagine he is not exactly happy with the living conditions.”

“KaibaCorp? Is that why his cutie mark is a large KC?”

“What the heck is a Cutie mark?” Kaiba asked.

“All ponies have a cutie mark.” She pointed to the stars on her flank. “It’s supposed to appear on your flank when you discover you’re special talent.”

“That’s... strange...” Kaiba looked over at Yugi’s flank. He had a golden eye much like the one that appeared on each of the Millennium items. Suddenly Yugi reverted back to his normal state. His cutie mark changed to a black smiley face.

“How about we go in?” Yugi asked. “It will be nice to get some relax after today…”

“I’ll have Spike warm up some tea for us.” Twilight pushed open the door. It was completely dark inside. “Huh, Spike must be over at Rarity’s place. Now, where is that light switch?”

The light flashed on and a large amount of ponies crowded the 3 ponies in the middle. “SURPRISE!”

“What in the world is going on here?” Kaiba shouted.

“Why it’s a party of course.” A hyperactive Pink pony came bouncing out of the crowd. She looked like she had too much coffee. “When I heard there were new ponies in town, I knew I had to throw a surprise party because I do that with every pony! But first I had figure out where you were going and I thought “Duh” they are going to Twilight’s place because all the new ponies go to Twilight’s! So I called everyone in town for a surprise party and here we are now! So, were you surprised? Were you, were you, were you!?” The pink pony stood directly in front of Kaiba, almost making contact with his eyes.

“Get out of my face... or some… pony is going to get hurt...”

“Aww, don’t be such a party pooper.” She then turned her attention to Yugi. “How about you, what’s your name?”

“Pinkie Pie! You couldn’t even let them get acquainted before throwing a party?” Twilight yelled.

“Yep...”

“Pinkie Pie, you are so random...”

“Sooooo, are you going to introduce those two?”

“Oh, of course! This here is Yugi Moto and Seto Kaiba. They are from uhhh...”

“Domino City...” Yugi added.

Pinkie Pie began to look at them. She had a weird look in her eyes that he couldn’t place his hoof on... “Okie Dokie Loki!”

“I guess since everyone is here already, I’ll introduce you to my friends.” Twilight asked.

“You do whatever you want.” Kaiba replied. “I’ll do what I want…”

“Whatever… You already met Pinkie Pie. She is… Interesting… Don’t question what she does or how she does it. Trust me; it didn’t end well for me. Anyway, let’s meet my other friends.” Twilight pulled Yugi through the crowd. Yugi found himself in front of 2 new ponies. “Girls, this is Yugi. He is the one Pinkie is throwing this party for.”

First one to speak up was the orange earth pony wearing a hat. “Well hello Yugi, my name is Applejack.” Yugi shook her hooves. “It’s always nice to see new ponies around, at least ones that are not jerks…”

“Um… Yeah…” Yugi replied.

Next a light blue pegasus with rainbow hair stepped up. “My name is Rainbow Dash, best flier in all of Equestria.”

Suddenly, Applejack smacked Rainbow over the head. “You just met him. Can’t you at least wait before you bragging like that?”

“I don’t really mind.” Yugi replied. “She reminds of a friend I have back home. He may be a bit of a loudmouth but I know he means well and that he has the potential to do great things.”

“You sound like you know a lot about friendship.” Twilight replied.

“That’s because all my friends and I all share a powerful bond.” Yugi raised up his left hoof. “The ink may have faded but we all carry a symbol of our friendship right here on the back of our hands.”

“Like a drawing? Is that what you’re cutie mark is?”

Yugi looked back at his cutie mark to see the same face Tea had drawn on their hands. “Yep, exactly the same.”

“A friendship cutie mark?” Applejack asked. “Now ain’t that sumthin. You’ll fit in just perfect with us.”

Yugi turned back to Twilight who appeared to be looking around. “What is it Twilight?”

“I can’t find Rarity or Fluttershy…”

“Oh, they are over there.” Rainbow pointed over at the other side of the room where a white unicorn and a yellow pegasus were approaching Kaiba. “They look like they are talking to that blue pegasus over there.”

“Oh no, not Kaiba…” Twilight muttered.

Rarity and Fluttershy had approached Kaiba who was in the middle of reading a book. He stopped when he noticed he was being watched. “Can I help you something?”

“Oh, well Pinkie Pie told us you were one of the new ponies in town and I wanted to meet you.”

“Well good for you. Now leave me, I don’t feel like talking.”

“My how rude. We are just trying to welcome you into Ponyville.”

“Well it was not my choice to be here. I’d rather be back home. I have a company to manage.”

“Oh you run a company? What kind of company.”

“A gaming company, the biggest and richest company in the world.”

“So you make board games or something?”

“No, we develop software and equipment for the game of Duel Monsters. Now can you please go away?”

“Oh come on, we are just trying to be nice. Can’t you at least show us this duel monsters or something.”

“You want to see a Duel Monster?”

“Indeed…”

“Alright then…” Kaiba closed his book and stood up and held his left hoof into the air. The wings on his duel disk came out and rotated up connecting at the ends and rotated back down to the outer edge of his arm. He placed his right hoof on his deck. Despite not having fingers, he was somehow able to grip his cards just fine is if he had fingers. “How about I show you my almighty Blue-Eyes White Dragon!?” He held the card up and threw it down onto his duel disk. A large rainbow projection appeared behind him forming a giant creature. Soon the features became clear. It was large white dragon with a round snout and dark blue eyes. It gave an extremely loud roar that got the attention of all the ponies in the party.

“DRAGON!!!” Pinkie Pie screamed. All the guests suddenly ran for the door trying to get out. In less than a minute, everyone was gone except for Yugi, Kaiba, Twilight, Rainbow, Applejack, Rarity and Fluttershy who was currently hiding behind Rarity in fear.

Yugi approached Kaiba. “Seriously, Kaiba… What did you go and do that for?”

“Hey, she wanted to see a Duel Monster and that’s what she got.” He remarked sarcastically.

“Couldn’t you have shown something a little nicer?” Rarity asked. “You scared Fluttershy half to death.”

“What do I care? People are usually in awe to the power of my Blue-Eyes White Dragon.”

Yugi sighed and held out his left as his Duel Disk rotated into place. He drew a card from his deck and threw it down. Yugi’s ace monster, his Dark Magician materialized in front of him. The cowering Fluttershy opened her eyes to see the large man in purple standing in front of her opposing the scary dragon. “What… Is that?”

Yugi turned back to Fluttershy. “That is my good friend, the Dark Magician.”

“Oooh…”

“Hey Yugi…” Twilight interrupted. “Mind telling me what is going on here? Why is there suddenly a dragon and some magician in my library?”

“These are Duel Monsters. It’s a game we play back home.”

“So is that what the device and cards are for?”

Yugi nodded. “Uh Huh, it’s a really famous game back home. It even has some historical importance. I could show you how to play the game if you want.”

A pink blur busted in through the door and a grinning Pinkie Pie was now standing in front of Yugi. “Did you say game!?”

“Then it’s settled. I’ll show you how to play Duel Monster. First thing you need to know is that there are 3 kinds of cards, Magic, Trap and Monster cards…“

Yugi had begun explaining the game to the six ponies sitting around him. It was like teaching Joey all over again. It was quite a nostalgic experience. Maybe, he thought. Maybe this will be quite enjoyable. However, unknown to him, there stood a figure. I hooded pony standing outside watching the action unfold.  Pulling up her left forehoof, she raised her Duel Disk, drawing the card from the top of her deck. She stared at it with her violet eyes. “Won’t be long now...”
