Chapter One-Return of the Toons
"I can't believe I beat Mako..." Joey said to himself as he walked through Battle City. "And I now have not one but TWO cards from him" He looked over the blue Ritual monster, Fortress Whale, and Mako's favorite The Legendary Fisherman.
"Yes, that was some good dueling you have done, Joey" Grandpa Moto told him. "You now have four new monsters in your deck that you can use to your advantage when you go to the Battle City finals"
"Nah, more like three" He held up Espa Roba's Jinzo, Weevil's Insect Queen and Mako's Legendary Fisherman. "These three I can use but I can't use Fortress Whale. Mako didn't give me the Ritual I needed to play it!"
"Bummer..." Tristan said. "But, you still got his Legendary Fisherman. The rules only stated you needed one. Plus, you can always trade that Fortress Whale to other players, now can't you?"
"Nah, I think I'll hold onto this" Joey replied. "Mako's a good friend, and I think it'd be better to hold onto this.
"Hey guys, want to stop and eat something?" Asked Téa.
"Sure, I'm in the mood" Tristan and Grandpa started to walk towards the restaurant, when Joey spoke to them.
"Nah, I gotta find out where the semifinals are. Don't worry, I'll come find ya later"
"Okay, good luck, Joey!" Téa said. "I hope you can win"
"Yeah, same" Tristan replied.
"Thanks" Joey waved and dashed off. "Well, let's see. I just gotta put the six Locator cards here together...gee, this is kind of hard, I better stop first" He stopped running and reached for the cards in his pocket, when a hand grabbed his shoulders. "Hey, what?!"
Joey quickly pushed the person, but then suddenly looked as if he saw a ghost before his eyes. "W-what?! N-no, you can't be him, you just ca--"
"Joey, be quiet" The voice whispered. "Nobody can know who I am"
"B-but how..." Joey took a step back.
"I will explain it to you soon enough, but I need your Locator Cards, Joey" The man took off his hood to fully reveal his platinum hair. He had one normal eye, and over the other was an eye patch. It was Pegasus.
"My Locator Cards?! I worked hard for these, I'm not just handing them over to you, ya creep" Joey stated.
"Then how about you try to take me...in a duel?" Pegasus held up a deck of cards. On top was his prized Toon World card. "If you win, I'll give you my Toon World card. One of a kind, extra rare. But not only that, you can have my favorite monster, Relinquished! You do remember him, don't you?" Pegasus took the top card off of the deck, showing his Ritual monster.
"Gr...I KNOW THIS TRICK! YOU'RE GONNA GIMME THE MONSTER BUT NOT THE RITUAL! I AIN'T BUYING IT!" Joey whined extremely loudly. He then considered the options. ~Wait...he doesn't have his Millennium Eye, so that means he can't see what I'm playing. And I beat Weevil and Mako, things that Yugi struggled to do, too. I think I can take Pegasus this time around. Plus, if I can get a hold of Toon World and Relinquished, I'll be able to win the finals and the tournament, easy!~ "Okay, I accept. But ya better gimme the stinkin Ritual Magic"
"Oh, but of course" Pegasus grinned.
"Duel!" They both stated.
Pegasus: 4000
Joey: 4000
"For my first move, I'll set one card face down and summon Axe Raider!" A warrior with an axe and battle clothes emerged as the card was played. 1700/1100
"Very well" Pegasus drew. "Well, I'm sure you didn't know this, but I've found out that in these Duel Disks, this tournament, the Toon monsters are played differently"
"Differently?" Joey asked quizzically.
"But of course" Pegasus began to explain. "First, they aren't invincible. They can't be hidden in the Magic of Toon World" Joey looked relieved. "And, Life Points must be paid to summon them and attack with them. But on the bright side, they can unleash attacks upon a player's Life Points"
"What?! No way!" Joey gasped. "Direct attacks?!"
"That's right, Joey-boy" Pegasus stated. "And guess what my first move is! I play the magical Toon World! And then I'll add onto that by summon Toon Gemini Elf by paying 500 Life Points" A toon world appeared on the field as the book opened. It spread across the entire playing field. And with a flash of blue and purple, two mischievous-looking female elves appeared. They had become toon monsters, bearing strange expressions. The blonde-haired elf in blue giggled while the red-haired elf in purple blew a kiss. 1900/900 "Aren't they cute ones? Ah yes, and I think I'll put one card on the field. It's your turn"
Pegasus: 3500
Joey: 4000
"Er...I'll show you cute! I summon my Goblin Attack Force!" Joey placed down the card he had gotten from Duke Devlin's booster packs. A team of Goblins appeared, each holding spiked clubs. 2300/0. "Goblins destroy his elves!"
"Activate Toon Defense!" Pegasus flipped a Trap face up. The Toon World book closed up as the Gemini Elves went into it.
"What?!" Joey gasped. "You said the Toons didn't work like that!"
"With Toon Defense I can prevent damage to my Toon monsters" Pegasus. "True, I do take Life Points equal to the Attack power of your monster...but it's fine"
Pegasus: 1200
Joey: 4000
~He's throwing away Life Points like nothing!~ Joey stated. ~What is this?
"Now I'll summon Nimble Momonga in Defense mode!" A squirrel appeared on the field very quickly. 1000/100. "And now I'll pay 500 Life Points to sacrifice Toon Gemini Elf for the toon version of King of Yamimakai, or as I call him, Toon King!"
"Toon King?! What the?!" Joey looked around.
A flash of darkness went through the Toon World, as out of it appeared the monster known as King of Yamimakai, but turned into a toon. It looked completely ridiculous. 2000/1530
Pegasus: 700
Joey: 4000
"That mangled King of Yamimakai is your monster?!" Gasped Joey.
"That's right! Now, Nimble Momonga, attack Goblin Attack Force!" The squirrel dashed at the Goblins, slamming them head-on. They were destroyed. "And now, instead of attacking directly, I'll clear your threat to my Nimble Momonga by paying 500 Life Points, and having Toon King attack your Axe Raider!"
The Toon King chuckled thickly. It raised its chain, giving a shriek as it sat on the chain and bounced around. The Axe Raider could only look up as the chain struck it, destroying the Axe Raider.
Pegasus: 200
Joey: 3700
"Gr...you'll pay for dat" Joey drew his card. "Perfect! Go Baby Dragon!" He summoned the tiny orange dragon. 1200/900 "And when Baby Dragon destroys your Nimble Momonga, you'll be out of Life Points! Baby Dragon, ATTACK!"
The Baby Dragon opened its mouth wide and scorched the Nimble Momonga, destroying it. "And I WIN!" Joey announced. But he was shocked to see the Life Points go up on Pegasus' side.
Pegasus: 1000
Joey: 3700
"What?!" Joey gasped.
"Nimble Momonga gives the owner 1000 Life Points when it is destroyed! And I get to summon two more to the field immediately!" Pegasus searched his deck and placed two more onto the field. Two spots began to glow. "They go into Defense position. And I believe it's my turn. Ah yes, I'll pay 500 Life Points and summon Toon Cannon Soldier"
A purple Cannon Soldier appeared, only this one was more strangely drawn, and had an extremely strange face. 1400/1300.
Pegasus: 500
Joey: 3700
"And Toon Cannon Soldier's effect allows me to sacrifice any number of monsters to launch an Attack on your Life Points. And I sacrifice both my Nimble Momonga" Toon Cannon Soldier gave strange laughs as the Nimble Momonga turned to energy and went into Cannon Soldier's cannon head. It shot two blasts of energy at Joey.
"Ah!" Joey held up his arms but was badly scorched by the attack.
"Toon Cannon Soldier does 500 damage per monster, which brings you down a total of 1000. And, Nimble Momonga's sacrifice allows me to gain 2000 Life Points back!"
(A/N: I know this ruling is incorrect, but for story purposes I'm using it)
Pegasus: 2500
Joey: 2700
"No..."
"Now, I give a payment of 500 Life Points to have Toon King attack directly!" Pegasus smirked. The Toon King raised its chain and spun around several times in front of Joey. Joey held his arms over his eyes, preparing for the impact. Nothing came. He opened them, only to be hit right in the stomach, and sent flying across the arena.
Pegasus: 2000
Joey: 700
"Now, Toon Cannon Soldier, finish it!"
"NO!" That was the last thing Joey remembered about the duel.
"Joey? Joey?" Joey opened his eyes to see Tristan, Téa and Grandpa there. Téa was calling his voice. "Joey, please get up"
"It...it was Pegasus!" Gasped Joey. "Pegasus was here, and he dueled me with his Toon monsters!"
"That's ridiculous, Joey" Tristan stated. "Pegasus was killed at Duelist Kingdom"
"No, look!" He reached into his pocket. "Three of my Locator Cards are gone!"
"I bet you were just careless" Téa said. "I mean, why would Pegasus be here?"
"I'm tellin' ya, Pegasus was here. He's not going to be around for nothing, guys" Joey got to his feet slowly and looked around. "PEGASUS! If you can hear me, you better get ready! I'm coming back for my Locator Cards, and I ain't gonna to give them up without a fight!"
Farther away in Battle City, however...
Pegasus didn't hear Joey. He was still walking quickly. ~I can't give up now...I've taken three locator cards, and I need three more.~ Pegasus threw his cloak to the side. Under it he was wearing a red sweater, black pants and black shoes. ~For all that I've been through, I have to win...I can't let this pass. I know I must win this tournament. Now...I next must find Seto Kaiba. I must win...for the victory...and for my sake, and the sake of the Egyptian God Cards...~
