Chapter 1: Introduction (part 1)
Everywhere was dark and silent as the citizens were each having their nice peaceful slumber, the sound of the crickets could be heard near the park like musicians playing happily in the night and hungry rats scurried off to their little holes called home. Darkness was all we could see in the sky when all of a sudden, a small flash of light cut through it like a blade.
The dawn cam quickly now, a wash, a glow, a lightness and then an explosion of fire as the sun arose out of the Gulf, telling the people that it was the beginning of a new day.
As the sunrays shone brightly, nearly covered the whole city, a steel arch bridge was spotted as it sparkled beautifully like it was brand new even though it was built a few years ago.
If you move closer, you will see a lone figure stood on the bridge with a contented expression on her delicate face. She had straight brown hair tied up in a ponytail style with a blue hair band around it.
Her narrow eyes stared at the colorful sky with its amazing chocolate-brown orbs sparkled in it like little twinkling stars. The teen wore a dark blue sleeveless tee shirt with tight blue jeans wrapped comfortably around her slim legs.
She was watching the breathtaking sight peacefully when suddenly, her head swung round to face the camera where a young man with black hair and maroon eyes held it to record her every movement. Her rosy lips turned into a warm smile as she started her small introduction speech.
"I am now standing on the world's widest long-span bridge with the height of 134 meters, also known as the world's fourth spanning-arch bridge. It is called "The Sydney Harbour Bridge". Designed and built by Dorman Long and Co Ltd from Middlesbrough. Hi, I'm Nicole Yap and this is "The Amazing Race"."
Then, she walked away towards her destination as the cameraman followed her from behind.
The once silent, calm blue sky was soon interrupted by the sound of the three helicopters as they flew towards an empty grassy field where a young teenage girl waved her hands to get the pilot's attention.
She was known as Nicole's twin sister since they look alike except her eyes was round instead of narrow and her hair was not tied up with a hair band, but was replaced by two pink hair clips that hung at the side of her head with what looked like bright blue buttons at one end.
This cheerful, happy-go-lucky girl here, was named..
"Hi, Celine Yap here!"
She smiled cheerfully and waved her hands in front of the camera.
"I am the co-host of "The Amazing Race" and we are here to greet the 12 teams who participate in the race. Two persons with a certain relationship are grouped as a team and now, let's welcome our first team."
The first helicopter that arrived at the empty field had their entrance door swung open as two young teens stepped out from it with warm smiles on their faces as the other teams were doing the same thing. You would mistake them as twins because of their same features.
Both of them had unusual star-shaped tri-colored hair, six large spikes colored black with magenta rims all along the edges and blond bangs at each side of their faces. They had purple orbs in their eyes and their heights were the same.
The only difference between them were one of them had more blond bangs shot up to each tip of his hair while the other don't. Also, his eyes were narrow while the other was round.
"The first team is Atemu Akunumkanon from Egypt and Yugi Mutou from Japan. Apparently, they are engaged to each other!" Celine squealed excitedly.

"Yes, we do look like twins, everyone thinks that way but actually, we're not related." Atemu started to explain while his fiancé snuggled into his arms lovingly.
"You can tell by our skin color difference, although mine is unusually lighter than any other Egyptians because my mother was Japanese."
He smiled at his younger look alike as Yugi started to speak.
"He's right, and about us, well, Yami and I..sorry, I mean Atemu, Yami is his nickname which me and my friends often calls him that. As I was saying, Atemu and I had been together for three years and we had made a decision to get married after "The Amazing Race" is over."
He smiled at the older teen when he thought of that, and Yami smiled in return.
"We had been through many hardships and whatever challenges we might face in the future, we are surely be able to beat them all because, together.."
"We are invincible!" The duo exclaimed in unison with thumbs-up shown in front of the camera.

"The second team, Joey Wheeler and Seto Kaiba from Japan! And weird enough, those two are actually a couple." Celine rolled her eyes as she watched the two adolescents stepped out from the door, arguing about something again.
Joey had messy short blond hair and honey brown eyes while the taller teen, Seto had short brown hair with piercing blue eyes that could turn you into cold ice when he glares at you. Both of their skin color was beige.

"Yeah yeah, everyone doesn't believe us as a couple because we keep arguing things." Joey said dully as he gave a small glare for his partner, but it seemed noticeable because the tall brunet said,
"Why are you staring at me like that, mutt?"
"For the hundredth time, stop calling me MUTT!"
"Stop shouting like that, you're scaring the viewers."
"Oh, right."
Joey cleared his throat before he continued his speech.
"Okay, about us, I've known Seto for two and a half years and we both know that we love each other even though we argue even the smallest things." That remark made the two couples smiled.
"We are ready to work together as a team and most importantly, get the grand prize. So, "The Amazing Race","
"Bring it on!" The two teens declared in unison and then, grinned at each other.

"Third team, Ryou Bakura from Japan and Bakura Akefia from Egypt, both of them are romantic couples."
Ryou had long white spiky hair that looked like thorns with large brown eyes. The other one was a copy version of him, Bakura whose hair was a lot spikier than Ryou and that his eyes were narrower than the other. Ryou's skin color was beige while Bakura's a tan.

"Like Yugi and Yami, we both look like twins but apparently, we're not related although we're in the same height, same age and not to mention, my last name is coincidently the same as his first name." Ryou explained cheerily while Bakura just glare at the camera with arms crossed in front of his chest.
"Anyway," Ryou resumed.
"We've been together for two years and eight months, although you see Bakura as a mean, rough, uncaring person, he actually has a kind heart especially when he cares about me."
He could hear Bakura mumbled about something of what he said just now but ignored it for the time being.
"I know Bakura loves challenges a lot, usually thinks it's a piece of cake to him and since I like to know more about other countries especially America, we decided to join the race."
"You mean you want to know more about food."
"Don't start, Bakura!"
Ryou retorted with a blush on his cheeks and that expression made Bakura grinned. Everyone knows that Ryou is a person who loves nothing but food, aside from Bakura of course.
"Anyhow, we are both ready to face these challenges and hopefully, be the first to get to the finish line, for.."
"We are the best and always will!" The two albinos shouted in unison with fist raised up above their heads.

"Fourth team, Malik Ishtar and Marik Zuberi from Egypt and they are currently dating. Wow, so many look-alikes here." Celine wondered.
Malik had straight silky gray hair that ran down his shoulders and narrow mauve eyes. Marik resemble his looks but his hair was spikier and some of it shot up to the sky. Besides, his eyes were narrower than Malik. They both had tan colored skin.

"Like Yugi and Yami, and also Ryou and Bakura, we look alike but we're not related." Malik said while Marik lay on the brown sofa, watching his partner talking.
"We've been together for almost two years and three months and we both absolutely love challenges, especially the ones that involve physical strength like sports! When we heard about this "The Amazing Race" game, we straightly go for the sign-ups without a second thought, so here we are!"
He smiled in front of the camera before he resumed his speech.
"We're both ready to face any challenges and we know we can do better than anyone else, cause',"
"We are the strongest team!" The duo yelled as loud as possible until the glass on the camera almost broke into half.

"Fifth team, Tea Gardner and Mai Valentine from Japan, they are both best friends and partners."
Tea had short, straight brown hair and round sky-blue eyes while Mai had long, silky blonde hair that ran down her waist with zigzag bangs in front of her face. She had narrow violet eyes. Both of them had pale skin.
Video Cap
"About us, we both love shopping like any other girls so we hang out a lot and we eventually become partners in almost all group activities we've participated. We've been together for two and a half years and I think of her as an older sister to me."
"Oh honey, you're so sweet!" Mai exclaimed as she hugged her dearly and Tea return the gesture before they broke apart.
"Anyway, we both decided to join this race, hoping that we can get the grand prize and we'll work together as one for we know that.."
"We are number 1!" The two girls announced in unison and hugged each other again.

"Sixth Team, Tristan Taylor and Duke Devlin from Japan, they are both being partners."
Tristan had short, straight dark brown hair that shot like a point towards the front and had narrow brown eyes.
Duke had long straight black hair that tied up in a ponytail style with a red bandage wrapped around his head. He also had narrow green eyes and wore two earrings with a tiny dice at each end for decorations. They both had pale skin.
Video Cap
"I've known him for two years and three months, we are always become partners whenever we have any group or pair project to work on." Tristan said and he let Duke continued his speech.
"Yep, we always work together as teammates and now, we only have one goal in mind."
"The grand prize!" They both shouted in unison as they gave a high five to each other.
The truth behind this was both Tristan and Duke joined this race just to impress Serenity who was watching them on TV and to show each other that he was the best respectively.

"Seventh team, Mokuba Kaiba and Noah Kaiba from Japan, they are both siblings."
Mokuba was the youngest among the group and had long straight black hair with large blue eyes. Noah had short straight turquoise hair with narrow indigo eyes and if you didn't notice, his looks almost resemble Seto's. They both had pale skin.

"Uhh, actually he's not my brother, both me and Seto were adopted by Noah's father, Gozaburo Kaiba.."
Mokuba was quickly cut off by a shout of surprise from his older brother.
"Mokuba! What are you doing here?"
Kaiba stared at him with wide eyes, hoping that the boy in front of his eyes was not his younger brother but unfortunately, it was him.
"Hello, big brother." Mokuba only manage to smile at him innocently and suddenly, Noah spoke aloud, enough for them to hear.
"Get out of the way, Seto Kaiba, both Mokuba and I want to join this race and it was actually Mokuba's idea of coming here so I just tag along and.."
"Shut your mouth, big brain midget, I'm talking to my brother, not you so stay out of it!" Kaiba snapped and Mokuba managed to calm them down before they could start a fight.
"Brother, please! I'm 13 now so I'm able to join the race and I can take care of myself, don't worry!"
"But Mokuba.."
"Enough!"
Their conversation was interrupted by a stern shout behind them and the three boys swung round to see Nicole standing behind the cameraman angrily.
"You three are wasting time and we have another show to take. So to make things simple, I've asked the viewers to vote whether Mokuba and Noah are able to join the race or not and the result is.."
(Vote quickly, readers! :D )
To Be Continued…

I decided to put Akunumkanon, Atemu's father as his last name and Marik's last name, Zuberi means 'strong'.
