Lights flashed and music busted out of the loudspeakers as tons of people crowded outside the stadium, waiting for the big dueling event to begin. Meanwhile, 4 close friends rushed into a cab and asked for the driver to go to "Pegasus's Annual Tournament." The tournament was so famous that the driver just nodded his head and drove through the busy city streets full of cars and people crowding the sidewalks running toward the tournament.
"Hey Yuge! You think we're going to make it?" Joey asked. The tricolor hair boy looked at his blond friend.
"I'm sure that we're not late Joey! Relax!" he reassured him.
"I guess. But Yuge, this is an important tournament, Pegasus only holds it once every 7 years!" Joey protested.
"Don't worry! Yugi's the best! He can take out anyone!" Tristen shouted.
The driver shot a glance at him and he quieted down, mumbling 'jerk.'
Tea shook her head playfully at the boys' stupidity. But then she looked down nervously. She had heard on the news that there were unusual patterns of wave currents and wind patterns coming from the east. The weathermen had advised everyone to stay off the streets. Meaningless to say, nobody listened.
"Tea?" a timid voice broke her train of thought.
She looked up and into the large eyes of her innocent childhood friend.
"Yes?" she asked.
"Are you okay? You seem a little-"
"Hey Tea, are you still worried about dem reports, I told ya, don't worry! You got Joey here to protect ya!" Joey boasted proudly.
Tea sweatdropped. "That's what I'm afraid of," she mumbled.
Yugi was about to say something when the cab came to a screeching stop and everyone jolted forward. "Ow!" Tristen complained.
"Sorry," the driver mumbled and then held out his hand. "That'll be $9.60."
Joey looked at him in disbelief. "You almost broke our noses! You think that we'll pay then?!?!" The driver seemed mad but before he said anything, Tea reached into her pocketbook and gave him 10-dollar bill.
"Keep the change," she said as they all ran for the entrance to the tournament.

The crowd was going wild as the music started playing. Everyone gasped as a huge gust of wind blew from the center of the arena. They stared in amazement as the floor started to unlock and a blinding light shot through the stadium from the center of the arena. As it opened up, a crystal field with lights on either side rose up and stairs formed on both sides. When Yami entered the field, the crowd cheered even louder. Tea, Tristen and Joey were all yelling and screaming their heads off for him. Then, his opponent entered the field.
Meanwhile…
A mysterious figure stood on top of a rooftop and watched as a gigantic tsunami started making its way down the city…
*~*
"I summon Battle Warrior!" Yami exclaimed and a gigantic Battle Warrior was summoned onto the crystal field. The crowd cheered when he attacked his opponent's Celtic guardian with it….
*~*
The figure walked down the streets as people ran frantically away from the tsunami making its way ever so slowly toward the city. Statues cracked and were lifted up by the wind. Buildings broke off piece by piece and trees were uprooted…
*~*
Yami was in a giant jam as he had only a "Gamma the magnet warrior" on the field while his opponent had 4. He was about the draw his final card when everyone looked up as the tsunami hit the stadium, flooding and destroying everything in sight. Laser fireballs shot out of the tsunami and hit many people and destroyed many buildings. The giant wave crashed onto the stadium and everyone was sweep up on their feet and the stones and seats were all lifted up and shattered to a million pieces.
Yami fell of the arena and grabbed on a stone, hanging 50 feet in the air. He grunted as he tried to pull himself up but instead, lost his grip and fell to his doom…

Well? What do you think? Horrible right? Yeah I know. The romance will have little traces of it throughout most of the story. Then it will have a big climax and a great romantic scene! OH! And the pairings are, Yami/Tea (Duh!), Mai/Joey, Serenity/Kaiba and for Tristen, I'm not sure yet. Most likely Miho.
