Preface

I don't really know exactly where I got the inspiration for this one. But I can tell you that as I paged through the files of my old computer, I re-found "Enter: The Prince of Games" as my pilot for "Yu-Gi-Oh! The Muto Legacy Continues," and I decided that just the pilot was not enough to create a full series, or even to get people talking about creating a full series!

But this is where I ran into a huge trouble spot. Now that I had Kazuki Muto, and now that he had won two duels against Yugi Muto and Mikey Wheeler, where would the series go from here?

And then, for no particular reason at all, I decided on a female competition episode. After all, you had Rebecca vs. Téa for Yugi in the original series, and Blair vs. Alexis for Jaden in GX, so why not Delilah Rhodes vs. Laura Devlin for Kazuki? Okay, you don't have Blair vs. Alexis yet, but from the moment I saw Blair wink at Jaden, thereby making Alexis jealous, I knew those two were eventually going to compete for his affections sooner or later!

I don't think I'll go into a lot of detail about this, because if somebody from 4Kids saw me writing some kind of love story, he'd have me persecuted—because you know how 4Kids doesn't like love stories. I mean, they didn't have one in "Pokémon," and they didn't have one in either "Yu-Gi-Oh!" or "Yu-Gi-Oh! GX," and as far as I'm concerned, they didn't have one in any of their shows I've watched!

Why am I sitting here babbling and rambling on about nothing? Read and enjoy!

Dedication

For Alfred R. Kahn, Norman Grossfeld, and Tom Kenney of 4Kids, who did the U.S. dub of both "Yu-Gi-Oh!" and "Yu-Gi-Oh! GX" as well as "Pokémon" and other anime series, but most importantly, for Kazuki Takahashi, who gave me "Yu-Gi-Oh!" in the first place.
