As he ran down the streets of Domino City all Yugi could hear was the sound of his shoes hitting the pavement. The sky was a deep shade of red and lightning streaked across the sky. As Yugi ran down the streets he failed to notice that he was the only person left in the city. When he reached Clock Tower Square a horrible sight met Yugi's eyes. The clock tower itself was bent in half, the clock smashed against the sidewalk. Off in the distance Yugi could see the remains of the KaibaCorp building, the top half collapsed in on the lower half. Buildings were crumbling or destroyed completely.
As Yugi looked around at the devastation he noticed three bodies lying twenty feet away from him. When he ran up to them Yugi saw that they were the bodies of his friends Joey Wheeler and Tea Gardener and the third was his dueling rival Seto Kaiba. Once he reached him Yugi knelt down beside Joey. "Joey, are you alright?" Yugi asked.
In a soft and hurt voice Joey said "We were counting on you to save us Yugi, how could ya have let us down man?"
"I tried my best Joey believe me I tried." said Yugi as he cried.
"It's your fault Yugi." grunted a hurt Kaiba. "Our homes, our city, our world is now destroyed because of you!"
"The Pharaoh would have won Yugi." whispers Tea. "The Pharaoh would have saved us."
"Guys I tried my best to win the duel but I just couldn't! I'm not as strong as the Pharaoh!" cries Yugi.
Then a familiar voice shouted 'Yugi!" from behind him. When Yugi turned around he saw the Pharaoh standing before him.
"Pharaoh?" asks Yugi.
"You've let your friends down Yugi." the Pharaoh said disapproving" You have disappointed not only them but me as well. Because of you the world has been sent into darkness. Evil now rules all."
"No." says Yugi "No, we can still save our world." But then there was a whooshing sound behind him. Yugi turned around to see that fire has engulfed Joey, Tea and, Kaiba's body's. "Joey, Tea, Kaiba NOOOO!" shouts Yugi.
Then Yugi turned around to see the same flame engulf the Pharaoh. "Pharaoh NOOOO!" cried Yugi as he rushed over to save the Pharaoh. But the fire completely surrounded the Pharaoh so Yugi couldn't get to him.
"Pharaoh, Pharaoh are you alright!" screams a scared Yugi. Two seconds later the fire extinguished itself. Yugi ran up to the spot where the Pharaoh had been standing. The only thing left was the jacket that the Pharaoh had been wearing. "No" says Yugi as he drops to his knees. He then reaches down and lifts the Pharaohs jacket in his hands. With tears running down his face Yugi tilts his head back towards the sky closes his eyes and then he screams "PHARAOOOOOOOOOH!"
Yugi opened his eyes and sat up in his bed. Then looking around Yugi realized that he was still in his bedroom. He wiped the sweat from his fore head and whispered "The same dream again."
As he sits there taking deep breaths Yugi hears his grandpa cry "YUGI ARE YOU UP YET?! YOU'RE GOING TO BE LATE FOR SCHOOL!"
Yugi shouts back "YES GRANDPA I'M AWAKE NOW!"
"WELL THEN HURRY UP" shouts Grandpa Moto, "YOU'ER GOING TO BE LATE FOR SCHOOL IF YOU DON'T GET A MOVE ON!"
Yugi then threw back his covers and walked over to his closet and opens the door and pulls out his clothes and school bag. Then something falls out of his bag. When he reaches down to pick it up Yugi realizes that it is his dueling deck belt. He then opens it and pulls out his Dark Magician card and recalls his dream. "I wish you were here Pharaoh," thinks Yugi" because I have a feeling that the worlds about to face the greatest danger it ever has."
From behind him Yugi heard a small cry that he recognized immediately. He turned around to find the spirit of Kuriboh hovering next to his bed. "Hi Kuriboh." Yugi said. Kuriboh let out a moan and floated down next to Yugi, looking sad and worried.
"I take it you've got the same feeling that I do don't you?" Kuriboh nodded back. "Well don't worry. Everything's going to be just fine. I promise."
The little spirit snuggled its self against Yugi. Since he really didn't speak Kuriboh Yugi decided that this meant Kuriboh was feeling better. Yugi finished dressing and came out of his room to find his Grandpa watching the news. Yugi paused and listened to the last news report.
"On our final note, the Kaiba Corporation has completed construction on the Domino City Duel Stadium." the reporter said.
"The Domino City Duel Stadium?" Grandpa asked.
"Must be that stadium Kaiba used during Battle City as the gathering location for the finalists." Yugi said.
"Must be." Grandpa agreed.
"To celebrate the grand opening of this stadium KaibaCorp president Seto Kaiba has decided to throw a new dueling tournament that he's calling the Duel Monsters Championship Tournament." the reported stated.
"The Duel Monsters Championship Tournament. Sounds like a lot of fun, don't you think Yugi?" Grandpa asked.
"Sure Grandpa." Yugi said halfhearted.
Just then Grandpa realized Yugi was still home and he looked up at Yugi and shouted "YUGI! WHAT ARE YOU STILL DOING HERE! IF YOU DON'T GET A MOVE ON YOU'RE GOING TO BE LATE!"
Yugi looked at the clock on the wall and took off running while shouting "I'LL SEE YOU LATER GRANDPA!"
Across town at the Kaiba mansion, Kaiba sat in his home office looking through some paper work when Mokuba walked in.
"Hey Seto. What are you doing?"
"Just wrapping up a few last minute details for the tournament." Kaiba said. He looked up from his papers. "One of which I'm going to take care of now."
Kaiba tossed an envelope to Mokuba. "What's this?"
"Just read it."
Mokuba opened the letter and read it. "Are you serious Seto?!" Mokuba asked.
"Very. I plan on participating in this tournament and I'm not going to have time to worry about every little thing. That's why I'm putting you in charge of the tournament. Registration's tonight. Think you can handle it?"
"Absolutely Seto! I won't let you down."
"Good." Kaiba came around his desk and picked up his briefcase. "Let's get going before we're both late to school."
