Chapter 1: The Change of Place
It was such a nice day in Domino. High sky and cool breeze of autumn were more than enough to highten the spirits of our students at Domino high, namely the Yugi and the gang. It was Friday (conveniently), so after school they wandered around and ended up in a park.
// Aibou, what is that you guys are eating? //
/ Oh, this? It's a snack. If you want, you're welcome to switch with me and take a bite. /
They were all sitting around on various structures in the park and eating hot sweet-filling bun they bought from Bakura's favorite store on the way here.
"Hehe, I feel good for absolutely no reason what so ever!" said Tea, smiling.
"It's not like we're doing anything in particular, but I feel good, too. Must be weather." said Yugi, returning the smile.
Actually, for Yugi weather was only half of the reason for his feeling. Right after the comment, Yugi said something under his breath, which suspiciously sounded like 'Shove it, Yami.'
Joey was NOT stuffing himself for a change. It was hot, so - although a bit faster than others - he was eating like a normal person.
"You got that right." Joey was obviously in happy mode. Yes, people find happiness in small things. "Things can't get any better than this!" Little did he know that since it was such a nice day, Kaiba brothers decided to take a walk home rather than a limo and were heading this way.
Tristan spoke, shaking his head. "Don't jinx it, man. With our luck, we'll probably end up with something weird happening."
"Yeah, like what?"
Suddenly, a strong gust blasted through the park. For few seconds, all winced and tried to block their eyes from dust. Tea had to keep down her skirt. After the wind was gone, everybody saw a paper bag stuck in Yugi's head.
For Yugi, he didn't know what it was but he panicked.
"Ahhhh~! Get it off, get if OFF!!!"
Before anybody could say or do anything, Yugi sprung onto his feet and started to run in circle. Then, because of temporary blockage of his vision (basically he couldn't see where he was going), he promptly ran into a light post. The impact shook out his deck from inner pocket of his jacket, but not the paper bag. In the end, Yugi was on the ground with his cards lying around him and the paper bag still stuck in his head. He was out cold, with his eyes going whirl-pool.
Tristan turned to Joey, pointing Yugi. "See, I told you."
"....Shut up."
Bakura and Tea sweatdropped.
"That boy can't be my arch nemesis. He just can't..."
Kaiba, with one eye twitching, muttered to himself while Mokuba was having a laughing fit. Kaiba brothers arrived to the park just in time to see Yugi knocking himself out. Just for Kaiba's reference, his arch nemesis Yami was lying on the stone floor of his soul room, face down and passed out as well. You see, Yugi and Yami are connected with that Egyptian soul magic mambo-jumbo. So when Yugi gets physical damage, Yami feels it, too. The bottom line is that both of Kaiba's arch nemesis was unconscious, looking pathetic.
Tea didn't know what to make of this but it sure looked painful to her ^_^U. She hurriedly walked over to Yugi and helped him sit up.
"Yugi, are you alright?!" Yugi weakly groaned and massaged his forehead. Bakura pulled out the paper bag over Yugi's head. While Yugi was trying to recover, a slow wind started to scatter the cards all over the place.
Bakura screamed. "Guys, the cards!"
"Come on! We need to pick up the cards and fast!" said Joey. With that, all of Yugi's buddies frantically picked up the cards.
Joey just picked up 'Curse of Dragon' card when he noticed a shadow draping over him. He looked up and guess who he saw. Joey's face went a dead pan.
'Just great. It's Kaiba....Look at him. I bet he's dying to make fun of me, (rolls eyes) with words involving 'dog'. One word and I'll punch him in the face! ....But I'll probably get punched midway and then some more. Damn, I'm seeing a pattern here... (Light bulb) Hey, waitaminute. What if I beat him to it? What if I get him before he gets to say the insult? Since he knows I'll take on him after he badmouths me, if I do that maybe I can catch him off-guard. If he doesn't it's still good cos I don't get to hear a thing. But isn't that like punching somebody who didn't do anything? Nah, who am I kidding. It's Kaiba... After all this, don't I deserve that much?!!!!'
Joey got up with fighting spirit burning in his eyes. However, before he could put his plan to work, he got jerked backward around neck. It was Tea.
"Come on. You don't have time for this. We got to pick up Yugi's cards." Tea turned around, her hand still on Joey's uniform collar, trying to drag him back.
"Awww, Miss Friendship is worried about her Yugi-bun?" Tea stopped.
Joey's eyes got wide. Did that jerk just make fun of TEA? (Dang, he's much braver than I thought.)
Tea slowly turned around, with the aura of killing intention surrounding her. Older Kaiba mentally 'uh-oh'ed. Tea let go of Joey and dramatically pointed toward Kaiba. "Sic him, boy!!" Joey gladly charged forward.
"Hey, Wheeler. She just made fun of.... Argh, what the f # @ $ ?!!!!"
Everyone (minus Joey and Kaiba who were practically having a WWF smack- down) helped picking up the cards and brought to Yugi. Yugi carefully counted his deck.
"So how is it?" asked Tristan. "Did we get it all?"
Yugi paled. "Uh..one card...is missing."
"Yugi," said Joey as he walked over to his shorter friend. He was limping and Kaiba was nose bleeding. "your left foot. 'Soul Exchange' card right there."
"Oh."
Yugi leaned forward and reached for his last card. Then....
"Ow." "Yug, what is it?"
"Static surge." He picked up the card.
As soon as Yugi picked up the card and before Kaiba could leave the scene with Mokuba, what seemed to be just a glitter of the card became stronger. The card glowed in white, then next moment beams of light shot out from the card. No one could move, as if the light became a binding chain. The blinding light engulfed everyone and they were gone.
***
Yugi opened his eyes and the first thing he saw was a sleeping Magician of Black Chaos right next to him. Yugi froze. Then he heard his peers waking up.
"Great, nothing happened! Thank God. Ok, blue sky, green trees, brown chipmunks... Hold on a second, that sky ain't no blue! That's purple!"
Uhoh.
"Hey, what happened to my cloths? Why am I wearing this costume again? Jo, if it's your doing, I'm gonna kill you!!"
Uh-oh.
"This is Magician of Faith costume. We're all wearing our duel monster's costume! Does this mean...."
Oh, boy.
Yugi faced his friends. "Yep, we're in shadow realm."
About same time, in certain park of Domino town, painful moans could be heard.
"RedEyes, did you spike our lemonade?"
"No, not this one. I spiked BlueEye's iced tea."

I hope you enjoyed this fic so far. I though this might be an interesting point of view. The journey will continue, but I'm not sure whether our masters and monsters can survive through, though. Especially our beloved CEO.
(Joey: RedEyes spiked BlueEye's iced tea?! Alright!!!! )
(Kaiba: NOOOOOOOO! BlueEyes, are you alright? TALK TO ME!!!!!)
