The End of the World
Prolog
(I do not, never have, and never shall own YGO.)
In the year nineteen seventy three, an asteroid was slammed into by a comet, sending debris cascading into other planets, twenty hit Jupiter, and it's moons, three hit Saturn, and four stayed in orbit around the belt, but one, took it's course around the sun, on a direct collision course for Earth....
{Present Day, Domino City, Japan, 7:00 AM, Sunday}
Kaiba walked into work, as always on time, but, today, he dragged a sick Mokuba along with him. He'd had the flu since yesterday, and so Seto had brought him to work to keep an eye on. "Now, you just lay on that couch there, Mokuba, and let me stick this under your tongue, I'll be back with something warm for you to drink.", Seto said, leaving the room.
He soon returned with hot coco for Mokuba, and a blanket. "Now, you just rest, little brother, while I take care of some paper work.", Seto told him.
"Okay, Seto, I will.", Mokuba promised.

Yami Yugi, and Yugi were busy helping Grandpa with setting up the shop for the day. "The way he sneered at me yesterday, the nerve!", Yugi snorted, "You'd think a top duelist, like Seto Kaiba would have some manners, and respect, but heeeeellll no.",
"Calm down, aibou, and help me with getting this box down, it's heavy!", Yami begged.
"Oh, all right.", Yugi said, gently helping Yami down off the ladder, while holding the box with one hand, as Yami did with both.
"I know what a pain Kaiba can be at times, but, he does try at least when Mokuba's around.", Yami added, "Let's just get finished setting up, so we can enjoy ourselves until opening.",
"Yes, Yugi, you know it's Sunday, and besides I have cookies in the oven right now.", Grandpa said.
"The last cookies you made Grandpa, were hard enough to be doorstops.", Yugi reminded him.
"Too true, but, one of these days, I'll get it right.", Grandpa remarked, shaking his head.

Ryou sat on the end of his bed, looking out of the window. 'What's wrong with you, Ryou?', his Yami asked.
"Something's going to happen soon, something bad.", Ryou said.
'Don't worry about bad feelings you may have right now, just, get ready for school.', Yami Bakura suggested.
"You're right, I shouldn't worry about that.", Ryou said.
....
Joey Wheeler was getting his usual beating from his Pop that morning. However, he took it all in stride, as he had done for so long now. The same old story, his Father's depression would sit in again, and he'd get drunk, by morning he'd use Joey to vent his anger out. Joey use to beg, plead, run from him, but, eventually, he learned the horrible truth that he would never escape his fate. Never, so as another jaw cracking hit took Jou in his jaw, he fought the pain, swallowed his tears, and faced the next head on. Little did he know a liberating day was soon to come....
