Since the final ceremonial duel between the Pharaoh and Yugi, things have since returned to normal for the gang, who have since returned home to carry on their normal school life.

Yugi, Téa, Tristan, and Bakura were sitting in their classroom, talking, when Joey all of a sudden ran over to them slamming his hands on the desk.

"Did you guys hear the news" Joey exclaimed excitedly.

"Let me guess that Seto Kaiba, announced the 2nd Battle City tournament" Tristan asked, in a somewhat mocking manner.

"No, you nim- wait how on earth did you guys know" he asked surprised that Tristan of all people somehow knew before him.

Yugi just smiled awkwardly and said "Well just the other day someone from Kaiba corps contacted me about the tournament"

"That Kaiba, I swear next time I see him" Joey said annoyed that Kaiba still refuses to acknowledge him as a formidable duelist.

"Oh, calm down Joey, obviously you must have gotten an invitation in the mail otherwise you wouldn't be telling us this" Téa said trying to get Joey to calm down so he doesn't make more of a scene.

"Yeah exactly, it's Kaiba's own way of acknowledging you Joey" Yugi said trying to bring some comfort to his best friend.

"I guess you guys are right, after all I got to focus all my energy if I want to beat him in the upcoming tournament" Joey said getting pumped up again just at the thought of wiping away his arrogant smile.

Suddenly out of nowhere, there was an earthquake followed by the skies darkening with lightning striking.

"EARTHQUAKE" Bakura shouted.

"WOAH, WHAT'S HAPPENING" Joey asked as he fell to the ground and clutched to one of the chairs.

"I THOUGHT WE WERE ALL DONE WITH SAVING THE WORLD" Tristan said, hoping that this really was just a natural disaster and not some sort of lunatic trying to destroy the world again.

Suddenly a flash of lightening came crashing in, and suddenly everything went blank for them.

The first thing that Yugi noticed when he came to and sat up, was that they were no longer in their classroom, but instead what appeared to be a furnished basement with several couches and a large 50-inch television in the middle

"What the, where the heck are we" Joey asked as him and the others slowly got up and noticed their surroundings.

"Wow, so not creepy at all. Waking up in some stranger's basement" Téa said sarcastically.

"There appears to be no door or stairs for that matter" Bakura noted as he took a look around.

Out of nowhere lightning struck again, but this time Seto Kaiba appeared from.

"Oh great, here comes Mr. Rich boy himself" Joey said with his mood already decreasing with Kaiba being here.

Kaiba looked around the room for a moment, and then his eyes went over to the group and automatically his face hardened even more than it already was.

"Of course, every time I'm pulled into one of these magic tricks you losers are somehow involved" he stated.

"Why you little" Joey said as he was about to march over to him.

However, he was soon interrupted.

"Hello, everyone glad you could make it" a very energetic female voice called out.

Everyone looked around the room but couldn't find where the trace of the voice was coming from.

"No use in trying to find me, physically I'm not here" the voice said.

"Who are you" Yugi asked.

"The name's SnowWhite4917, but you can all just call me Snow" she replied.

"What kind of a ridiculous name is that" Tristan stated, never hearing such a name before.

"Look, I don't care who you are, but you better release us right now. Otherwise you might not like what will happen if you don't" Kaiba threatened.

The voice just laughed and said "You really think your threats will work on me. Don't worry, I have every intention of freeing all of you, but first all of you must watch a little series called Yu-Gi-Oh the abridged series."

"Wait did she say" Téa began, and then with Bakura finishing for her

"Yu-Gi-Oh the abridged series"

"That is correct. In a quick and easy explanation without frying anyone's brain. I am from a separate universe, and in my universe all of you are a part of a cartoon show called Yu-Gi-Oh. A brilliant youtuber by the name of LittleKuriboh, has parodied the show. So, I have used my power as a fanfiction author, to come into your universe to force you to watch it" Snow explained.

"So, it's basically a multiverse theory" Yugi said a little unsure of his answer.

"Correct, exactly right"

Joey appeared to be still confused over her explanation and said, "I don't get it."

Kaiba just gave a smug smirk and responded "Of course not, your small brain couldn't even comprehend the smallest of tasks"

Then he turned his attention to Snow as Joey screamed at him in the background and said "Listen lady, your talk of multiverse is absolute nonsense. Even if such a thing existed, no one has that kind of power to break through them"

"You don't believe me, do you? Perhaps another demonstration is in order" she said

Another wave of lightening came, and every person in the room had wide eyes and some with their mouths dropped

It was Atem

"Yugi, Joey, Tristan, Téa" Atem said in surprise and confusion.

Before anyone else could say anything, Snow went on with her demands.

"Now listen, I won't repeat myself. All of you must watch every single episode of the abridged series, and as the episodes go on, I'll be bringing more of your friends in, so they can watch when they get their more screen time. Once all episodes and specials have been watched, then I will release all of you. The remote is on the table, but it can only be used for pausing no going forward whatsoever, unless you want to face the consequences. With that being said, I hope you all have a good laugh."

Snow just laughed as her voiced disappeared completely, leaving the group even more confused.

Author's Note

Well here is my first Yu-Gi-Oh fanfiction. I've read 2 stories before with this same concept, called White Room and YGOTAS reactions, which inspired me as well. Also, I was rewatching some of the abridged episodes, and often asked myself how the real Kaiba and Pharaoh would react to their abridged counter parts. I am working out an update schedule, I know I will update once a week, but I will have 2 slots in which I will do so. That way if for some reason I can't update on my regular scheduled day, then I have another I will fall back on. Next episode, we're jumping right into the pilot so be prepared.
