[Prologue]
Arcadia Bay, one of the most dangerous and strange towns in Oregon. It has had many strange and disturbing events occur over the past few years but however there is one secret that almost no-one in Arcadia Bay knows about.
The tornado that seemingly terrorised Arcadia Bay wasn't just any tornado but it was the power of the legendary and dangerous Duel Monster whose powers are as equally as dangerous as the three Egyptian God Cards that the Pharaoh used in his battles. Since after the tornado's outbreak the card has since been locked away in a place that has never been discovered until now.
The world's top ranked duelist Seto Kaiba has gotten wind of the rumors and is eager to track it down and get to it before anyone else does, especially Yugi.
Yugi Moto, Joey Wheeler, Tristan Taylor, Tea Gardner and the rest have recently moved to Arcadia Bay, Oregon from Domino City due to a Duel Monsters Tournament involving Yugi vs. Kaiba going horribly wrong when Kaiba's Egyptian God Card: Obelisk the Tormentor turned against him and unleashed it's power on the whole city of Domino causing mass devastation.
After the devastating events that went down, Yugi and the gang moved to Arcadia Bay and started a fresh new life at Blackwell Academy.
Meanwhile, rumors are going around that the tornado was originally caused by a rare and dangerous Duel Monsters card that had been locked away for years. Now it's up to Yugi and the rest of the gang to figure out the rest before Kaiba does.
[Blackwell Academy]
Yugi's Mother drove into the parking lot.
Yugi's Mother: "Okay guys, hope you have a good first day here!"
Yugi: "See you later Mom!"
The four friends get out of the car and Yugi's Mom drives away.
Yugi, Joey, Tristan and Tea started walking towards the steps up to the campus.
Yugi: "Well guys, it's our first day here! Let's see if we can trade for some good cards! What cards are you guys hoping to get?"
Joey: "Me? I'm hopin' ta' get a second Red Eyes! Or even better! All 5 Exodia cards den' when anyone challenges me to a battle, I'll cream 'em!"
Yugi: "Joey, I know your excited and all but the chances of all 5 Exodia cards being here are slim to none! You know how rare Exodia is!"
Joey: "Ya' never know maybe there is! Maybe if I'm super lucky, I'll come across a second set of Exodia cards! Which I'll give to you Yuge! You deserve 'em. After all, that no-good Weevil threw them off the boat on the way to Duelist Kingdom!"
Yugi: "That would be great Joey! I'd be forever grateful if you found me a set of Exodia cards!"
Joey: "Hey, what can I say? You wouldn't have beaten Pegasus and won the prize money!"
Yugi: "And without that prize money, Your sister Serenity wouldn't be able to see ever again!"
Joey: "That goes to show we're truly best buds Yugi!"
Yugi: "Too right Jo- OOF!" Yugi bumps into Mai Valentine, the girl who sacrificed her prize card at Duelist Kingdom to get Joey into the duel with Yugi.
Mai: "Yugi?! Joey?! Tristan and Tea?! What a nice suprise seeing you guys here!"
Joey: "Nice to see ya' too Mai! Tis' our first day here! Hopin' ta' get a second Red Eyes so I can buff my deck!"
Mai: " *scoffs* Yeah, good luck with that, you'll have just as much of a chance finding that as all 5 Exodia cards!"
Joey: "Well maybe when we duel again, you'll be feastin' ya' eyes on two Red Eye's Black Dragon cards!"
Mai: " *chuckling* Don't let me stop you! Anyway's, the fresh meat's assembly starts soon so I'll see you inside!"
Yugi: "See you soon Mai!" Yugi waved as she walked off into the main building.
The two made it onto the campus and Joey and Yugi bumped into two other students.
Yugi: "Oh excuse us!" *nervously chuckling* "We were just looking around the campus!"
Rachel: "It's okay- Hey wait a minute, I've seen you two! You're the two that made it into the Duelist Kingdom finals!"
Joey: "Yep dat's us! So what's it gonna be? Autograph? Maybe a picture?"
Rachel: "Aww *laughing* You're so cute the way you act!"
Joey blushes at Rachel's complaint*
Joey: "Ahh It's nothin'! My friend Yuge here is da' King of Games! He helped me to get to Duelist Kingdom! And our friends helped him win!"
Chloe: "So, what's your name blondie?"
Joey: "The name's Wheeler, Joey Wheeler"
Chloe: "Chloe, Chloe Price and this is my friend Rachel Amber"
"Wanna come over to my dorm after school?" Rachel said while giving a cute wink to Joey and Yugi.
"Uhh.. No thanks! We've just got here-" Yugi said but Joey cut in with: "Sure! I'd love that! We can watch da' new Duel Monsters tournament on TV, we can watch movies, all sorts of stuff!"
"Great! We'll see you there!" The blonde girl replied as they walked off.
Just then, a voice came on the loudspeaker: "Can all of the new students please report to the main campus immediately as the assembly is now starting."
Yugi: "Oh! Look's like we better get going! The assembly is starting!"
Yugi and the gang head over to main campus with all the other main students.
Yugi: "So guys, you excited for today?"
Joey: "Yeah, a lil' nervous but other 'dan 'dat, I'm excited!"
A man in a grey-reddish suit walked out of the main doors, he cleared his throat and spoke aloud.
"I'm very proud to welcome all of you new students to Blackwell Academy! I hope you all settle in well here! If you have any questions please feel free to speak to any of our staff members or myself. I am Principal Wells and I wish you all the best of luck on your careers!"
Whilst Wells was talking, Yugi observed the crowd of students and one of them caught his eye. Seto Kaiba, his arch rival. Kaiba noticed Yugi and gave a stern look with an expression of anger on his face. Yugi then turned to look back at Wells who was just finished talking.
"You'll be assigned to your new classes very soon but for now, take the time to get to know each other. I will assign you all soon!"
Wells walked back inside.
As the students were getting to know each other, Yugi noticed Kaiba walking over to them.
"Well well well, If it isn't Yugi and his dog pal Wheeler." Kaiba sneered.
"HEY! You better watch it rich boy!" Joey retorted.
"I bet you was expecting to see me get caught in Obilesk's attack but I guess your hopes weren't as high as they used to be." Kaiba blocked off Joey's threat with one of his usual epic comebacks.
"Well dey' coulda' been if Obilesk's attack was much more powerful dan' it is now!" Joey shot back.
"Woah hey, settle down Joey!" Yugi came in between them.
"But Yugi! Man I really loathe dat' Kaiba!" Joey growled.
Rachel and Chloe walked over to the group.
"What's going on here?" Rachel asked.
Kaiba: "It's nothing that concerns-" Kaiba paused as he noticed the glowing stone on Rachel's bracelet.
"Is that what I think it is?! The Blue Eyes: White Lightning Stone?! What's it doing in a place like this?!"
"I never thought I'd lay my eyes on the real article!"
"Just how did you get this?! This stone.. It's just as rare as Exodia!" Kaiba exclaimed.
"My father gave it to me when I was only 8 years old, he said whenever I miss him, I should look at this stone and it cheers me up."
"Awe that's cute! At least you don't have to worry about him all the time then!" Yugi said to Rachel.
" *scoffs* Yeah, cute now listen lady, that stone holds a dangerous power far beyond your control, a power that will make the Blue Eye Dragons in my deck five times as powerful than before! Making it's attack power 15000 and it's defense power 12500!"
"That's a lie! My dad's stone would never hold such power!" Rachel said.
"Uh, excuse me! You're talking to a Duel Monsters expert over here-" Kaiba replied but Joey cut in with: "Also a rich spoiled greedy good-for-nothing brat who only has a heart for his precious Blue Eyes and little brother! Stop kissin' ya Blue Eye's card every night before ya' go ta' sleep and get a real girlfriend! Those Blue Eye's cards have no pride at all! They have more of a use for wipin ya' ass!"
Everyone gasped at what Joey said and Kaiba turned around with a look of anger and rage on his face.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" Kaiba yelled in rage.
"I SAID YA' BLUE EYES LAME DRAGON HAS MORE A PRIDE OF GETTIN' USED TO WIPE YA' ASS!"
Kaiba grabbed Joey by the throat and spoke with anger: "NEVER.. DISRESPECT THE PRIDE.. OF BLUE EYES.. WHITE.. DRAGOOOON!" as he threw Joey to his side.
Kaiba then ran up to Rachel and ripped the bracelet off her wrist.
"MY BRACELET!" Rachel yelled.
"HAHAHAHA! I FINALLY GOT IT! Yugi, for when next we duel you will be no longer known as the King of Games!"
Kaiba then walked off into the crowd.
Rachel's eyes welled up with tears and then broke down crying.
Chloe immediately cuddled Rachel and held her while she sobbed into her t-shirt.
"Don't cry Rachel! We'll get that bracelet back for you!" Yugi reassured Rachel.
"But how?! Dat' Kaiba's gonna be unbeatable now dat' he's got dat' stone to power up his Blue Eye's Dragons in his deck! Joey said while getting up and dusting himself off.
"Leave it to me." A voice called from inside Yugi's Millennium Puzzle.
"Huh?! I know that voice! It's-" Yugi was about to finish.
"Yes, it is I the Pharaoh. I have faced many challenges during our travels. The many battles I have fought have been tough but beating Kaiba while he possesses the Blue Eye's: White Lightning Stone will be the toughest duel yet. We will need to concentrate very hard and play our strategy right to win this game. If we lose then Kaiba will have Rachel's bracelet forever and use it for power and that is something we can't allow to happen."
"Let's do this Pharaoh!" Yugi said with confidence.
"YU-GI-OHHHHHHHHHH!" Yugi shouted as he transformed into the spirit of the Pharaoh.
Meanwhile Kaiba was examining the White Lightning Stone.
"I finally have the White Lightning Stone after almost 4 years! It's almost like I'm dreaming! Now there's nothing, not even Yugi and his so-called friends or any amateur duelist that can stand between me and my destiny to become The True King of Games!"
"NOT FOR LONG KAIBA!" A voice called.
Kaiba turned around exclaiming: "That voice! Could it really be-?!"
Kaiba's eyes met with the grown-up Yugi also known as Yami Yugi.
"Indeed it is! Now you've crossed the line Kaiba! Tearing up my Grandfather's card and kidnapping him is one thing but this is just TOO FAR! NOW YOU MUST PAY FOR YOUR ACTIONS!"
Kaiba sneered "If you really want a duel to get back this stone, be my guest! I can use you as a guinea pig to test out my White Lightning Stone."
Yami Yugi agreed; "Kaiba, for the first time in four years, IT'S TIME TO DUEL!"
Kaiba: "Yeah, and time for you to stop using that line, it's been used over 50 times in the last 10 years!"
Yami Yugi: "I'm afraid that's not gonna happen. so deal with it."
*Kaiba and Yugi prepare their Duel Disks*
Kaiba and Yami Yugi: "LET'S DUEL!"

[MONSTER]
[FERAL IMP]
[ATK: 1300] [DEF: 1400]

[MONSTER]
[THUNDER DRAGON]
[ATK: 1600] [DEF: 1500]
Kaiba: "You got lucky I don't have the other dragon I need to Fusion Summon in my hand right now! And it's not the Blue Eyes but it's something that'll hold you off until I get all 3 Blue Eyes in my deck so I can summon an old friend! So I'll just set this monster face down and end my turn!"
[Yami Yugi's Turn] (Turn 2)
Yami Yugi: "Kaiba could be scheming something! I have to attack now before he draws a Polymerization card he can use to fusion summon with!"
"Draw!"
[SPELL]
[MONSTER REBORN]
Yami Yugi: "Monster Reborn! This could be useful for a higher level monster! I'll save this for later but for now I'll have to think of something! My only chance is to set down an extra defence in case Kaiba decides to make multiple attacks! I'll just use Kuriboh! His effect will help!"
Yami Yugi: "I set down this monster and end my turn!"

[Yami Yugi's Turn] (Turn 3)

"I draw a card!"
[MONSTER]
[DARK MAGICIAN]
[ATK: 2500] [DEF: 2100]
"Dark Magician! He can destroy Kaiba's face down monster! But if I choose to use Dark Magician, I'll have to sacrifice these two monsters and who knows, Kaiba might pull a White Dragon Ritual from his deck! I have to do something! I'll wait until I get a third monster on the field or at least a good one told hold off Kaiba until my next main phase! I'll summon Mammoth Graveyard in defence mode!"
Yami Yugi: "I set down a monster and end my turn!"
[Kaiba's Turn] (Turn 4)

"I Draw!"
[MONSTER]
[BLUE EYES WHITE DRAGON]
[ATK: 3000] [DEF: 2500]

[MONSTER]
[LORD OF DRAGONS]
[ATK: 1600] [DEF: 1000]
Kaiba: "I'll attack Kuriboh with Lord of Dragons!"
"Lord of Dragons attack Kuriboh!"
Yami Yugi: "Tch, Tch, Tch, Not a smart move Kaiba! Remember our duel back home? When Kuriboh is about to get attacked by an opponent declaring said attack, I can discard Kuriboh and I will take no battle damage!"
*Lord of Dragons directly attacks Yami Yugi but due to Kuriboh's effect when discarded he take no hits and his Life Points are unaffected.*
LIFE POINTS: YUGI: [3000] KAIBA: [2600]
Kaiba: "Hmph, amateur move there Yugi! You'll regret that! I shall end my turn! I hope to see The Heart Of The Cards shine light on yours."
[Yami Yugi's Turn] (Turn 4)
Yami Yugi: "Since you are not a believer in The Heart Of The Cards, you will never win this duel!"
"I draw!"
[MONSTER]
[BIG SHIELD GARDNA]
[ATK: 100] [DEF: 2600]
"Big Shield Gardna! I can use him to hold off Kaiba's attacks! I may risk losing a few life points but at least I'll still be in the lead!"
"I set down this monster and end my turn!"
[Kaiba's Turn] (Turn 5)
Kaiba: "So you're going with the cowardly face-down strategy? Yugi, I thought you were the King of Games! But I don't see you playing like one. Anyway's I draw!"
[MONSTER]
[THUNDER DRAGON]
[ATK: 1600] [DEF: 1500]
Kaiba: "HAHAHAHA! I have drawn the card to create the Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon! but I don't have a Polymerization card on me so make your next move count Yugi!"
[Yami Yugi's Turn] (Turn 5)
Yami Yugi: "I draw!"
[MONSTER]
[BUSTER BLADER]
[ATK: 2600] [DEF: 2300]
Buster Blader! I remember him from our final duel in Egypt! Since Kaiba has a Dragon-type deck, this should be very useful to use against his Dragons! If I pull off my moves right, I could take out all 3 of his Blue Eyes before he is able to summon the Blue Eye's Ultimate Dragon!"
Yami Yugi: "I sacrifice my face-down monsters to summon Buster Blader in Attack Mode!"
[MONSTER]
[BUSTER BLADER]
[ATK: 2600] [DEF: 2300]
Kaiba: "So you sacrifice your monsters to summon one high level monster? That's the most amateur move I've seen you make in years!"
Yami Yugi: "There's a reason I did that Kaiba! You'll figure it out soon! I end my turn!"
[Kaiba's Turn] (Turn 6)
Kaiba: "Very well Yugi! I draw!"
[SPELL]

[MONSTER]
[TWIN-HEADED THUNDER DRAGON]
[ATK: 2800] [DEF: 2100]
"Now attack Buster Blader!"
Yami Yugi: "Hehehe.. Kaiba, you just said the password 'attack'!"
Kaiba: "Wha-?!"
Yami Yugi: "You see, for every Dragon Type monster that's controlled by an opponent or in the opponent's graveyard, It increases Buster Blader's attack by 500 so you've just ran into my trap!"
Kaiba: "Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon! Stop!"
Yami Yugi: "It's too late to halt your attack Kaiba! When your twin headed thunder dragon is sent to the graveyard, Buster Blader keeps the gained attack!"
*Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon attacks but due to Buster Blader's effect, Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon is destroyed and Buster Blader gains 500 ATK*
*Kaiba loses 300 LP*
LIFE POINTS: YUGI: [3000] KAIBA: [2300]

Kaiba: "No! This isn't over Yugi!"
Yami Yugi: "It will be soon! I draw!"
[SPELL]
[MIRROR FORCE]
"Mirror Force! Just that card I need to finish Kaiba off!"
Yami Yugi: "I set this card face down and end my turn!"
[Kaiba's Turn] (Turn 7)
Kaiba: "Look's like winning this duel will be harder than I thought, and I don't like the look of that face down card that Yugi just set but just to be sure, I'll attack anyway."
Kaiba: "I'll summon Des Feral Imp in Defense mode!"
[MONSTER]
[DES FERAL IMP]
[ATK: 1600] [DEF: 1800]
Kaiba: "My turn's over!"
[Yami Yugi's Turn] (Turn 7)
Yami Yugi: "Draw!"
[MONSTER]
[CELTIC GUARDIAN]
[ATK: 1400] [DEF: 1200]
"If I summon this, I could get Kaiba to attack it which gives me the chance to activate Mirror Force leaving him wide open for a big finisher, but Kaiba may be aware of that already. It's worth a shot though."
Yami Yugi: "I summon Celtic Guardian in Attack Mode! Thus I will end my turn here!"
[MONSTER]
[CELTIC GUARDIAN]
[ATK: 1400] [DEF: 1200]
[Kaiba's Turn] (Turn 8)
Kaiba: "Hah! What a joke! You're asking to lose aren't you! I guess you're not the King of Games anymore! I am! Now Lord of Dragon's attack Celtic Guardian!"
Yami Yugi: "You shouldn't have been too cocky Kaiba! Because you're about to make your last mistake! Mirror Force GO!"
Kaiba: "WHAT THE-?!"
*Mirror Force's effect destroys Lord of Dragons*
*Kaiba loses 1200 LP*
LIFE POINTS: YUGI: [3000] KAIBA: [1100]
Kaiba: "NO! IT WAS MIRROR FORCE! NOOOO!"
Yami Yugi: That's right! Now I can finish you off and return Rachel's bracelet!"
[Yami Yugi's Turn] (Turn 8)
"Draw!"
[MONSTER]
[WINGED DRAGON, GUARDIAN OF THE FORTRESS #1]
[ATK: 1400] [DEF: 1200]
"I'll use Monster Reborn to bring back your Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon but under my control! And I will use it to destroy your defence and use Buster Blader to finish you off!"
*Monster Reborn summons Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon to Yugi's side of the field.*
[MONSTER]
[TWIN-HEADED THUNDER DRAGON]
[ATK: 2800] [DEF: 2100]
Kaiba: "No, not my own Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon!"
Yami Yugi: "TWIN HEADED THUNDER DRAGON ATTACK FERAL IMP!"
*Feral Imp is destroyed by Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon*
Yami Yugi: "NOW BUSTER BLADER! ATTACK KAIBA DIRECTLY AND END THIS DUEL!"
*Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon attacks Kaiba directly reducing Kaiba's LP to 0*
Kaiba: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!""
LIFE POINTS: YUGI: [3000] KAIBA: [0] YUGI WINS!
Tea: He did it! He won!
Joey: YEAH! TAKE THAT KAIBA!
Tristan: You're the man Yuge!
*The holograms fade away as Kaiba falls to his knees*
Kaiba: "No! Victory was in my sight! But it somehow slipped away!" Kaiba, looking at the ground said to himself shocked.
*Yami Yugi reverts back to normal Yugi*
Yugi: "I think you have something that belongs to Rachel!"
Kaiba: "Fine! Just take the stupid bracelet! I had you Yugi, I had you right where I wanted you! But you wormed your way out and managed to pull through. Consider yourself lucky as we will soon duel again."
Kaiba walks off as Yugi and the gang come up to him.
Joey: "Ya' did it Yuge! Now let's go return that bracelet to Rachel!"
Yugi: "Actually Joey, maybe you should!"
Joey: "Really? Why?"
Yugi: "I think Rachel's taken quite a liking to you!"
Joey: "Hey, your right!"
Joey walks up to Chloe and Rachel who's face is red from earlier.
Joey: "Rachel, I got you your bracelet back from that stinkin' Kaiba!"
Joey shows the bracelet to Rachel.
Rachel was so overwhelmed with happiness, she hugged Joey tightly.
Rachel: "You got my bracelet! Thank you Joey! I'll never forget this!"
Joey: "I'm sure you won't Rachel."
Chloe: "So Joey, I guess you have some pretty cool friends."
Joey: "Dat's right! Known 'em right from the start of our crazy journeys!"
*Yugi runs over to Joey*
Yugi: "Joey! The Principal is about to assign us to our classes! Let's go!"
Chloe: "Well, here's to another year of Blackhell.."
