Prologue: The Girl with the Blue Hair

The Pharaoh, Joey, Tristan, and Téa were standing in quite an unusual spot: a junkyard. All around them were piles and piles of rusted, empty car shells with smashed headlights, bumpers that had half-fallen off, and the occasional ripped-up tire.

Joey placed his backpack down on the dust-covered ground. Strangely enough, the backpack was squirming as though something was inside of it.

"Everybody ready?" he asked.

The other three nodded.

Joey slowly zipped the backpack open. Three green blurs suddenly zoomed out of the backpack and started flying across the junkyard, but Tristan used his stretching ability to reach his arms out after the blurs and just managed to catch them before they vanished out of sight. Once he brought them back, he let go of them long enough for the Pharaoh to form a force field around the blurs before they could escape once more.

Trapped inside the force field, the three green blurs were revealed to be very odd-looking little green creatures with faces that looked like a bat's, claws on their hands and feet, and pants that appeared to be made out of burlap sack. The creatures pounded on the force field in frustration.

"Listen, gremlins," the Pharaoh said in a strangely calm voice, "we had said that you could remain at Domino High as long as you didn't cause any more trouble during the school day. And what happened? You started a food fight in the cafeteria, which the entire student body had to clean up after once school was over, which forced them to miss the entirety of the matsuri that went on in town! Did you honestly think we were going to let you remain after that? We were tempted to get rid of you permanently!"

The three gremlins hung their heads in shame.

"However," the Pharaoh smiled a little, "we know from our Guide that you only throw and destroy things because you find it to be fun, not because you want to intentionally hurt others. Therefore, we have brought you to this place." He lifted up the force field a little so that the gremlins could see the entirety of the junkyard. "Here, you three may throw and destroy things to your hearts' content without causing harm to anyone."

The Pharaoh set the force field down on an empty car shell and snapped it away. The gremlins looked around at the junkyard in awe for a moment, then quickly soared past the teens and disappeared into the piles of rusted cars. Moments later, the teens saw three green blurs tossing a bumper back and forth across various car piles.

After watching the gremlins for a few moments, the four snapped their fingers and transformed into showers of blue, green, orange, and pink sparks which soared up into the air and off into the distance.

A couple of minutes later, the showers of sparks soared through the walls of an abandoned warehouse which stood near Domino's docks. The sparks floated down to the ground, shifted themselves into human-like forms, and transformed back into four normal-looking teenagers.

Joey stretched and yawned. "Welll, dat was fun," he said, "but now dat dat little problem's been taken care of, how about we all just go home, sit around, and play a couple a video games?"

"I'm in," Tristan said. "I'll do just about anything which involves me kicking your butt."

"Are you kiddin'? I can beat you at any game, anytime, anywhere!"

"Only in some fantasy world of yours, Joey," Tristan said, shaking his head.

"C'MERE, YA LITTLE-"

Before Joey and Tristan could get at one another, however, a white beam of light suddenly blasted down right in front of the four. The light grew larger and larger, forcing the four to shield their eyes. A huge gust of wind seemed to come out of the light and blow throughout the warehouse, sending old crates and pieces of wood flying into the walls.

"What de heck?" Joey yelled over the whoosh of the wind.

Suddenly, a shadowy figure floating a little above the ground made its way out of the light. As the light slowly started to fade away, the teens could see that the figure was, in fact, a teenage girl. She was one of the most beautiful young women the four of them had ever seen; her hair was the strange color of the sky on a clear day, her lips were a deep shade of red, and her skin was a pale cream. She wore a white tube top, a red skirt, and white, knee-high boots. Her head was facing skyward, her eyes were shut, and her palms were facing outwards, making her look as though she was expecting something to come down to her from the heavens.

Once the light had faded away entirely, the girl collapsed onto the floor, out cold. The four heroes quickly rushed over to her. The Millennium Puzzle glowed with a golden light, and Yugi took over for the Pharaoh. He knelt down by her side and gently lifted her head up. "Miss? Are you O.K.?"

The girl slowly stirred and opened her eyes. The four jumped back in shock a bit to see that her eyes were as deeply red as her lips. "You four are…the defenders of this world…right?" she breathed out in a soft, sweet voice.

Slowly, the four nodded.

The girl gave a weak smile. "Wonderful…then perhaps you can help me obtain what I've been searching for…"

And with a sigh of relief, she lapsed back into unconsciousness.
