Prologue
It was a beautiful day: the sun was shining, the smell of the ocean air was invigorating, and all seemed well on his private island.
"I do love vacations!" Maximillion Pegasus shouted into the air. He hit the intercom button. "Bring me my glass of wine!"
"Yes sir, Master Pegasus," responded one of his servants.
Pegasus smiled as he closed his eyes. He was lying in a lazy-boy, enjoying the sun. It had been too long since he'd gotten to do this. Vacation was just what he needed.
The sound of footsteps could be heard from the distance. As they got closer, Pegasus held out his hand. When he got the glass he smiled. "Thank you! I've needed this for quite some time! Fun in the sun! Why don't you and the others take the day off! I won't be leaving this spot for quite some time."
Instead of a "You're too kind, Master Pegasus!" someone said: "They were never hear to begin with."
Pegasus opened his eyes and looked up to see someone in a very large black overcoat. "Who are you?"
The mysterious person didn't answer. "The Egyptian God cards, where are they?" he asked instead.
Pegasus shook his head. "Am I supposed to be afraid? Because I don't do fear. I cause it."
The cloaked figure laughed. "Act tough all you want; you're nothing without your Millennium Eye."
Pegasus hit a button on his cuffs. The figure laughed again. "Calling your guards? Sorry, but they aren't here."
Pegasus stood up, his eye completely focused on the mysterious invader. "What is it you want?"
"I thought I made that clear," he replied. "Where are the Egyptian God Cards?"
Pegasus shrugged. "I don't know who had them now."
The mysterious figure was getting impatient. "Maybe I should be more specific: Are the God Cards in the open, or does that brat with the identity issue have them?"
"I don't know what you're talking about," Pegasus stated.
Pegasus could hear the figure gritting his teeth. "I was told I couldn't kill you, but I can crush your spirit." He revealed a duel disk, unlike any Pegasus had ever scene. "If I win, you tell me where the God cards are. If I lose…well, that won't happen."
