Chapter 1: Katy Pegasus
Vacations have just started in Domino City, and Yugi and his friends immediately rushed out of school as soon as the bell rang, eager to enjoy the summer. "So guys, what should we do first?" asked the tri-coloured hair teen. Joey smiled as he looked at him and replied, "I was thinking of heading to the arcade to try out this new game I've heard about!" Ryou thought for a while…and then agreed that it was the best place to start. "Nah…" said Bakura, "You go on ahead without me. I'm gonna go home and –" but was unable to finish speaking when his hikari pulled him along, coaxing, "Aww, come now…please?" and gave him the sad puppy eyes look. Not those damn eyes again! thought the thief, knowing that he always fell for them. He eventually gave in and said, "Alright, because you said so," and smiled as his hikari cheered. "Hey, where's Pharaoh?" asked Joey, "I thought I saw him a second ago." Yugi shrugged and answered, "I dunno." Suddenly, he was tackled from behind…and this was followed by the laughter of his yami. "Hello Yugi!" he said as he pinned him down, "Missed me?" and started tickling his trapped hikari. "Pharaoh…stop…can't…breathe…!" managed Yugi through his laughter, only to have it worsened as his yami continued to tickle him. "Okay Pharaoh, I think he's had enough," said Malik, but Marik didn't care and said, "Who cares? Leave them be!" while secretly thinking as he snickered quietly, Until he suffocates, that is. Yugi suddenly became fed up and rapidly switched positions with his yami, tickling him harder than he did. "Aah! Yugi, please don't!" shouted Pharaoh, but he knew that his hikari knew that he's more ticklish than he is. "You guys done yet? We're wasting time here!" said Joey and Tristan as the two boys seemed to be too involved with themselves, getting impatient as seconds slowly passed. Téa couldn't help but think that they looked cute when they laughed…until the sound of something crashing caught their attention. "What the fuck was that?" asked Duke, and they all see someone badly bruised and bleeding running out of an alley nearby. "That guy looks like he's running away from something," suggested Tristan, and heard more crashing sounds from the same direction.
Curiosity taking over their minds, these guys cautiously made their way through the alley to another street…and see something bizarre. Right in the middle of a circle of knife-wielding thugs stood a teenage girl, smiling evilly at the men around her. Her blonde-and-brown hair had some blood soaked in some areas, including on her face, arms, legs and clothes. Looking at the thugs with her emerald-green eyes, she taunted, "Is that all you've got, losers?" and the men immediately started attacking her. "She's gonna get herself killed –" began Joey, but was suddenly awestruck as the girl fought them with her bare hands. "Wow, she's good!" he commented. "Miss, behind you!" shouted Tristan, and she swiftly turned around and kicked her opponent in the head. "That was close…duck!" he shouted, and everyone quickly hit the dirt except for Ryou, who's searching around frantically and shouted, "Where?" Duke immediately pulled him down just as a thug went flying over them! "Ryou, when he said 'duck', he meant 'get down'!" he said as Ryou sweatdropped. "Did you see that?" asked Joey, "She actually tossed that guy!" Tristan couldn't help but wonder, Damn…who the fuck is she?
Her attackers immediately fled, escaping with wither a broken nose or limb and bleeding all over. She then mutters something in ancient Egyptian while stealing money from an unconscious victim, catching the yamis' attention. "Did she just say 'stupid motherfuckers' in our language?" asked Marik. Ryou covered his ears and said, "I did not hear that…!" The teenage girl heard them and asked, "You understood what I just said?" and looked at the group. "How is that possible?" she added. Marik, thinking that she's stupid or something, replied, "Because we've been taught that language since birth…5000 years ago back in ancient Egypt!" The girl just stared at him, confused. "Erm…nevermind that," he added. "Who are you anyway?" asked Téa, and the girl replied, "I'm Katy Pegasus," earning confused stares from the group. "What?" she asked as they remained silent for a while. "Pegasus didn't say anything about having any children," answered Téa, "So…how can you be related to him?" Katy replied, "I was adopted and raised as his own. My real parents were murdered long ago," and folded her arms, staying calm the whole time. "Well that explains why you don't look like him. And…" commented Joey, smirking as he continued, "You're pretty good at street fighting for a girl like yourself. In fact, you're as good as any tough guy!" Although she was slightly flattered by this, his last sentence somehow sounded like an insult – according to her, that is. "Call me a tomboy and you're next!" threatened Katy as she glared at him, clenching her fist. "Great, you just pissed her off," said Tristan, frowning as Joey whimpered in fright. She then calmed down and asked them who they were, and the group introduced themselves. "When did you learn to speak ancient Egyptian?" asked Pharaoh. Bakura glared at him and shouted, "I wanted to ask that!" and Ryou rolled his eyes at his yami's behavior. Ignoring him, Katy replied as she turned away, "It's a long story, but if you really wanna know…" and continued her sentence in the other language. Pharaoh understood what she meant and requested Yugi to go on with their fun while they acquaint themselves with their new friend. His hikari agreed, knowing that for some reason…his yami might've known her from before. Then again, they just met.
