(Note: The following events occur 4 months following the end of Season 5 of Yu-Gi-Oh.) (That means SPOILERS!)
(I am very reluctant to use any swear words in my stories, so don't expect any. Also, this is really a crossover in name only. Stop reading right now if you are looking to see any TDI characters in this story. Anyway, on with the story)
Introduction: The Duelists Arrive
(You can imagine their real voices or LittleKuriboh's Yugioh Abridged voices. Either will work.)
(#.)-Indicates Xavir giving an introduction to a character.
Xavir: Hello Duelist fans. In case you don't know me, my name is Xavir Casston (ex-uh-VEER CASS-ton). In case you haven't heard, I have recently claimed the title as new King of Card Games, and I will be your host for the worldwide dueling event: Total Card Game Island. We have well-known and not-so-well-known duelists coming from all over the world to gain the title of King of Card Games. Before we begin the main event, you need to get an idea about who will be participating. I will introduce the contestants by stating their name, description, and accomplishment(s). Now, let me introduce our first contestant:
placed third in the national Japanese Duel Monsters tournament, but he's #1 when it comes to water. I'd say he has a devotion to the ocean, but that's just lame. Watch out or he'll harpoon you, please welcome: Mako Tsunami!
(Mako arrives in a swordfish shaped boat).
Mako: It's an honor to be accepted into this competition Mr. Casston. It's even better knowing my greatest ally will be right by my side the entire time.
Xavir: And who would that be?
Mako: Why the ocean, of course. With her support, I will harpoon all who stand in my way! (Laughs evilly while holding harpoon) (stops laughing) I mean be the next King of Card Games.
Xavir: Great. Go stand over there while I introduce the others.
next contestant isn't widely-known, but he's the inventor of the semi-popular game, Dungeon Dice Monsters. He enjoys settling all his problems with dice and has a close personal relationship with his theme song: Here's Duke Devlin.
(Duke arrives in dice-resembling boat)
Duke: Hello, it's great to actually be dueling for a change.
Xavir: I'll bet it is.
(Duke stands over with Mako.)
up is a fellow by the name of Tristan Taylor...
(Tristan arrives in normal boat.)
Tristan: Hey world. It's me, Tristan. Hi mom! I'm gonna be famous!
(Tristan moves over to Mako and Duke.)
placed fourth in the last tournament on Duelist Kingdom. Straight from America: here is Bandit Keith Howard.
(Bandit Keith arrives in Red, White, and Blue boat)
Keith: It's great to be here, IN AMERICA.
Xavir: Wonderful, but we are NOT, in fact, in America.
Keith: (grumbling) Yeah, we'll see.
(Keith moves over to crowd.)
placed first and second in the national Japanese Duel Monsters tournament respectively. Give your attention to Bug Champion Weevil Underwood and Dino Man Rex Raptor.
(Weevil comes in bug-like boat and Rex comes in dino-like boat) (They see each other.)
Both:( to each other) What are YOU doing here?
Weevil: (smirks) If you must know, I've been invited to become the next King of Card Games.
Rex: So have I, but I plan to win. Now get outta my way. (Moves to crowd).
Weevil: Hah! You stand no chance! Sorry for that display, Mr. Casston. Some duelists just aren't professionals like me. (Laughs and moves to crowd.)
7. Next up is the underdog of the group. He placed 2nd and 4th in two different tournaments. He leaves all big decisions to luck. Here's Joey Wheeler!
(Joey arrives in a broken-down dinghy.)
Joey: Joey Wheeler has arrived!
Xavir: Well, Joey, are you excited to be competing?
Joey: You know it.
Xavir: Do you think you have any chance of victory this time?
Joey: I KNOW I do and I'm not leaving this island without that title.
?: Then it looks like you won't be leaving then.
(Kaiba descends on his jetpack from his Blue-Eyes Jet).
and gentlemen, the owner of KaibaCorp and former Duel Monsters World Champion, Seto Kaiba!
Joey: Kaiba! I should have known you'd be in the competition.
Kaiba: And I don't intend to lose. Especially not to you.
Joey: We'll see how confident you are after I beat you.
Kaiba: That'll be the day. (Moves to crowd.)
Joey: And that day's today, Kaiba! Or maybe tomorrow, but it's COMING just you wait! Come back here. (Moves over to crowd.)
on, we have the sponsor of the tournament who wanted to make his own entrance: Maximillion Pegasus!
(Pegasus arrives in very fancy looking ship with Millennium Symbol.)
Pegasus: Welcome, competitors. I hope you're not intimidated that this is basically my tournament.
Kaiba: Never, Pegasus.
Pegasus: Come now, Kaiba-boy. No need to be so serious. Just relax. We're here to have fun, right Xavir?
Xavir: That depends on your definition of fun.
Pegasus: Well anyway, carry on with your introduction. (Moves to crowd.)
10. Our next contestant is the man who taught the former King everything he knows about Duel Monsters: Here's Solomon Moto!
(Solomon arrives in very old ship.)
Xavir: So how does it feel to be competing against your grandson?
Solomon: Not as good as beating him, (Laughs), but seriously I'm really looking forward to getting back into the action after all this time since my last tournament.
Joey: Wasn't that just a few months ago?
Solomon: That long already? I sure am glad I'm in this one. (Laughs) (Moves to crowd.)
11/12. The next two competitors are brothers who own and run the European Gaming Company, Schroeder Corp. They placed first and second respectively in the KaibaCorp Grand Prix and yet neither of them actually won, Leon and Zigfried Von Schroeder!
(Leon and Zigfried both come on same boat with Schroeder Corp insignia on it.)
Xavir: I hear you both are fairly good duelists.
Zigfried: Ve have dabbled in ze dueling arts.
Leon: I want another chance to duel against Yugi. The first time was a bit disappointing.
Xavir: Yes, I heard you cheated and suffered a miserable defeat.
Leon: Well, not exactly. My brother was the one who cheated and Yugi found a loophole in the card. Then I suffered the miserable defeat. I mean I lost, but only 'cause Yugi's so good.
Zigfried: Do not vorry. Zis time ve will both play ze game von-hundred percent 'onestly. Ve swear. (Crosses fingers behind back)
Xavir: I see. Go stand with the others. (They both move to crowd.)
next competitor is...
?: Seto!
[Mokuba is lowered down on a rope from the Blue-Eyes Jet.]
Seto: What is it Mokuba?
Mokuba: You left your briefcase on the jet. I thought you might be needing it.
14. Well it seems our next competitor has arrived. The diminutive duelist who owns 2% of KaibaCorp, in his first dueling competition, give it up for Mokuba Kaiba!
Seto: What are you talking about?
Xavir: Didn't you get his Star Emblem?
Seto: I got mine...
Mokuba: I thought you sent us two by mistake.
Xavir: It was no mistake. Check the inscription.
Mokuba (reading): This Star Emblem officially certifies Mokuba Kaiba as a contestant in Total Card Game Island. No way! But I've hardly ever dueled.
Xavir: Do you know how to play?
Mokuba: Well, yeah but-
Xavir: Then you're in. Now go stand with the others.
(Mokuba stands over by Kaiba.)
Xavir: Oh yeah, Kaiba. I need to ask that your jet leaves the premises. I want no way off the island.
Kaiba: Fine (waves jet off) (Kaiba's pilot takes off)
13. Anyway, our next competitor is the recent champion in the Duel Monsters Jr. Championship. Here's Espa Roba!
(Espa Roba comes in green boat resembling his hair.)
Espa: HELLO, XAVIR! MY VICTORY WAS CERTAIN THE VERY SECOND I SET FOOT ON THIS ISLAND! I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE YOU ACTUALLY LET ME IN THE ROSTER FOR WINNING ONE MEASLY TOURNAMENT! I MEAN THERE HAS TO BE LIKE A GAZILLION OTHER DUELISTS BETTER THAN ME! I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT WOULD POSSESS YOU TO CHOOSE ME INSTEAD OF THEM!
Seto: Yeah Xavir, what is the deal with the people you're choosing. I mean, Wheeler, really?
Joey: Hey!
Xavir: The duelists I chose are based on their history with Yugi Moto.
Seto: But why Yugi? What makes him so special? Just because he's the former King of Card Games doesn't make everyone he came into contact with a great duelist.
Xavir: There will be plenty of time for questions after everyone is introduced.
15. Next is another personal friend of Yugi Moto: Tea Gardener.
(Tea arrives in friendly-looking pink ship.)
Tea: So you're Xavir, huh? You beat Yugi?
Xavir: That's correct. That's why I am King of Card Games for now.
Tea: Well if Yugi can't get his title back on his own, I'll be right here to help him. (Moves to crowd.)
next competitor-
Espa: IS THIS WHERE WE'RE STAYING?
Xavir: Yes, Espa, we're staying on this island for the competition. Now, the next-
Espa: ARE THERE PALM TREES HERE?
Xavir: Please direct all questions about the island to Pegasus. Now-
Espa: PEGASUS, ARE THERE-
Xavir: QUIETLY PLEASE!
Espa: OK!
16. Our next competitor placed 2nd in the Battle City Tournament to Yugi Moto. I heard he was possessed or something during that time, but it still counts. Here's Marik Ishtar.
(Marik arrives in ship looking like Millennium Rod.)
Marik: Hello everyone. I will destroy all of you and nothing will be left but your destroyed carcasses which are destroyed. SHAM!
Joey: Marik, what happened? I thought you gave up evil after your evil side was destroyed.
Marik: Yes, but I get very competitive when it comes to card games. (Moves to crowd.)
is a duelist who placed 2nd in the Australian National Duel Monsters Championship. He's spent some time in prison, he loves riding motorcycles, and his specialty is wearing strong suits of armor that have no attack power...
Joey: Oh no, not...
...hmm...there seems to be a smudge on the last name.
(Valon arrives in armored boat.)
Valon: (Australian accent) 'Ello Xavir. S'good to be here. 'Ay is that Joey Wheeler over there? (Walks to crowd.) You may 'ave got lucky last time but you'll not be winning 'ere.
Joey: Keep ya trash talk to yaself. Kaiba's already made that speech.
Valon: Just don't count me out before the gunshot, mate.
18. Our next duelist hails from the jolliest of England presumably. He made it to the Battle City Finals and that's about it. I heard he was involved with some criminal activity, but here's Ryo Bakura!
(Bakura comes in on completely white ship.)
Bakura: Hello Xavir. I'm really looking forward to being in this tournament.
Xavir: I hope you are, because you'll need all of your dueling talent to get far in this competition.
Bakura: Don't you worry about that. I plan to win! (Moves to crowd.)
19. Now we move to our next duelist. She placed 3rd in Duelist Kingdom and reached the Battle City finals. Here's Mai Valentine!
(Mai comes in ship resembling Harpie Lady.)
Joey: Hey Ma- (Valon pushes Joey aside)
Valon: 'Ey Mai! Good ta see ya!
Mai: Valon! Joey! Good to see you too, but I hope you don't think I'll be going easy on you.
Valon: Wouldn't want it any other way, Mai.
Joey: Yeah, same here. I don't want any pity victories.
Valon: 'Ey, you know what "pity" means?
Joey: Watch it...
20. The next contestant may seem a bit obscure to most people. Meet the sister of Joey Wheeler: Serenity!
(Serenity comes on very regal-looking ship).
Seto: Wait, what! (grabs Xavir) OK, Xavir, what' s the deal? It's bad enough you invited Wheeler. But to invite his do-nothing sister! I have to draw the line right there.
Xavir: If she's so little of a threat, then what's the problem?
Seto: It's an insult to me personally that you're putting us both at the same level.
Xavir: Are you an undefeated duelist? Serenity is.
Seto: That's not fair! She's only dueled once!
Xavir: And she won. How about that? Now everyone over there. (Seto and Serenity move over to crowd.)
Tristan: Hey Serenity, it looks like we're both-
Duke: (interrupts) Hey Serenity, it looks like we're both going to be in the tournament together. Can't wait (winks).
Tristan: (thinking angrily): He stole my line AGAIN! And my wink!
21. Next is the youngest champion duelist in the world. She's officially the champion duelist of America. Please welcome: Rebecca Hawkins.
(Rebecca arrives on teddy-bear looking boat.)
Rebecca: Uncle Xavir! Thanks for the invitation.
Xavir: (upset) What did I tell you about the "uncle" thing?
Rebecca: (embarrassed) Oops...(whispers) sorry.
Keith: HEY! She's only in the tournament because she's related to the host! That's straight-up nepotism...in AMERICA! That pipsqueak should be disqualified right now!
Xavir: OK, Keith but didn't she beat you in the national American Duel Monsters Tournament?
Keith: (grumbles) Maybe...
Xavir: So I guess I have to disqualify you both. Unless...
Keith: FINE, she can stay. It'll give me the opportunity to get my revenge anyway, in AMERICA!
Xavir: Then I hope you're a strong swimmer. That was the last boat and America's a few thousand miles away perhaps.
Tea: Wait, I thought there were 27 contestants. There's only 21 here.
Xavir: Unfortunately, Alistair is off looking for his brother, Raphael vanished off the face of the Earth, Vivian Wong was sent to some insane asylum, Ishizu had an urgent emergency, and Odion refused to participate if it meant being against Marik. (thinking to himself) I suppose they weren't meant to be the King of Card Games.
Mokuba: Is it too late to refuse to participate?
Xavir: Yes, but if you really want to leave, it's pretty easy to lose.
Mokuba: (thinking) Seto will never forgive me if I just quit. I better do my best...for him.
Joey: Wait a second, what about Yugi?
Xavir: (to camera) LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!
Joey: Nyeh!
Xavir: THE MOMENT YOU'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR! HERE HE IS! THE FORMER KING OF CARD GAMES! YUGIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII MOTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
(Yugi rises out of the ground on mechanical lift.)
Xavir (to Yugi): Anything you want to say to the world, Yugi?
Yugi (stage fright): Uh...well the...the world?
Xavir: Confident words from the former champ. Will Yugi rise to win? Stay tuned to find out on Total Card Game Island!
Espa: IS THAT WHAT THIS IS CALLED?
TO BE CONTINUED...
