By Grey Wolf Himura

Super Trainer Showdown Saga

Chapter 1 - Invitation

2 YEARS LATER

"What the hell is taking so long, Seto?!" Grey Wolf yelled. She, Vejiita, Yugi and many duelists which were unknown to them had been called to the mansion which Seto Kaiba owned.

"Patience is a virtue..." Seto said in a rush, almost flying past her. He went through a door, and moments later, appeared on a big screen TV on the ceiling. "Welcome, Duelists and Trainers! I see most of those invited were able to make it... I have brought you here, as you probably have figured out, for a tourney. But not just any tourney! The ultimate tourney! One that is for not just one type of trainer, but all kinds! Therefore, it will be that much harder to win. The tourney will start one month from now, and last for three days. You are all invited to take place in as many of the three tournaments you choose, which are, on the first day, a Poke'mon TCG tourney, on the second day, a Yugi-Oh TCG tourney, and on the last day, a Poke'mon battling tourney. You have one month... use it wisely."

"Awesome, brother! How does the tourney work?"

"All of them will work the same way. You will go around, battling and dueling people. You will be given a duel disk, with a special number. Each time you duel, when you win, the loser will give up one number that you don't have. Once you have all 8 numbers, you will report to the spot that your duel disk will tell you, and you will enter the combination. After doing this, you will be allowed to enter that place, and once all 8 tournament participants reach there, the final tournament will commence!" After saying this, Seto shut off the screen and walked back into the room.

"Seto..." Grey Wolf whispered to her brother. "He's-" She sent a dark look at Vejiita. "-going to be in this tourney?"

"Grey Wolf, you can't say that. He's an extremely good strategist and trainer, so he's earned his spot as much as you have."

"Of course I have!" Vejiita yelled. "With all these weak trainers, it's no wonder I'm here!"

"Shut your mouth, Vejiita, before it doesn't have any teeth left." The first words spoken from Grey Wolf's mouth to Vejiita in a year weren't pleasant.

"What did you say to me? Was that a mistake, or are you really stupid enough to insult me?"

"Neither, I know you don't have the strength to say such words."

"What?! You bitch, talking to me as if you have room to talk! I am the prince of all saiyans, not some human-loving freak like you!" Vejiita yelled, pointing angrily at Yugi. "He doesn't even care about you, you're only going out with him to get back at me!!" Grey Wolf's hands went into fists. She flew at Vejiita in a rage. He dodged to the right, but she grabbed his shoulder and pushed him into the wall. Grey Wolf started choking Vejiita so he couldn't breathe.

"Take that back!" Grey Wolf yelled angrily.

"No way! You know it's true!" Vejiita yelled, causing Grey Wolf to tighten her grip.

"Take it back!!!" She screamed.

"Stop it Grey Wolf, you're killing him!"

"Make me!"

WHAM. Goku rammed his knee into Grey Wolf's head, making her let go and slam into a wall. Vejiita clutched his throat, breathing heavily as Grey Wolf stood again.

"So, Kakarot(Goku), you've decided to die? I didn't know, you should've told me sooner."

"You're the one that's going down, Grey Wolf!" Goku yelled.

"Really. AHHHH!!!!" Grey Wolf yelled, and turned Super Saiyan. Goku did the same.

"No! You people are supposed to be friends! Stop this!" Gohan yelled.

"I agree! No good can come out of this, Grey Wolf!" Yugi added in, trying to convince Grey Wolf to back down.

"You two... are trying to save Kakarot, I presume?" Grey Wolf said in arrogance.

"Grey Wolf, shut up you fool! Kakarot would kick your ass, and you know it!" Everyone looked at Vejiita in awe. Dare he insult Grey Wolf?

"Been training, haven't you, Vejiita? Just how far have you gotten?"

"Far enough to beat a weakling like you!"

"Oh, really? I'd like to see-"

"You're acting like a child, seriously." The same voice that had aided her in the fight against Frieza told her. "If you're really so strong, why must you prove yourself to Vejiita?"

"Really... who the hell are you?" Grey Wolf thought.

"I suppose I never told you... my name is something I must keep secret for now... but you may call me... a friend. Now... why do you want to fight Vejiita?"

"I... don't know..."

"HEY! Grey Wolf, you weakling, backing down?" Vejiita yelled, snapping Grey Wolf back to reality.

"Huh?"

"Are we going to fight or not?" Vejiita asked. Grey Wolf slowly turned. After a few moments, she finally whispered, "No, we're not," and walked out the door, Vejiita staring at her in awe.
