Disclaimer: Yo, this is YamiDragon. This is the second story I have ever written. I like this story because it is about only Yu-Gi-Oh! In the other story it was about three different things. This story is after the entire duelist kingdom has ended Yugi won the tournament, saved his Grandfather and gave the price money to Joey to save his sister's sight. Serenity and Grandpa do come out in the story but not in this chapter. Okay, go ahead and read.

Chapter 1: The Duelist
Yugi, Tristen and Joey were watching the duel monsters worldwide championship. It was 4 full hours that would decided who was the best duelist in the world. Tea was in the kitchen cooking dinner. The duel right now was a duel to find out who would be one of the duelists would go to be the first one in the final duel. The winner would go and face of with the winner of the duel after this one. The duelist right now were Pegasus and Banded Keith. Banded Keith had 1346 life points, Pegasus had 1320 life points. Banded had the Crawling Dragon on the field with the magic card Dragon's Claws that boosted its attack power to 2200. He also had Red Eyes Black Metal Dragon with an attack power of 2800. Pegasus had the Summoned Skull with Dark Energy, which made its attack power 2800, and he also had the Judge Man on the field. " Man, Pegasus and Keith are practically tied," said Tristen. From the T.V. Pegasus said, " It's my turn and I play 2 magic cards, Toon World and the Shine Palace, to make Toon Summoned Skull and Toon Judge Man. But I won't attack." " Wow! Now the Summoned Skull's attack power is 3300 and the Judge Man's is 2700," said Yugi. " Okay, now I play Mountains, so my dragons get a nice, fat field power bonus. So now Red Eyes Black Metal Dragon's attack power is 3640 and Crawling Dragon's attack power is 2860," said Banded Keith. " This works to my advantage. I play 4 cards. 2 magic. 1 monster. 1 trap. First, I play Red Eyes Black Dragon and polymerization to make Toon Black Skull Dragon with an attack power of 4000. Plus the field power its attack power is 5200. Next I play Dragon Capture Jar to your capture dragons. And my last card is Riokou. So you are left with 673 and I get 673 attack points for my dragon. So my dragons attack power now is 5873 attack points. And you have no monsters on the field I attack and you lose 5873 life points," said Pegasus. " Pegasus is the winner!" said The Announcer. " Whoa! Did you see that monster!?" asked Tristen. " Yeah, that has to be the second strongest monster ever created," said Joey. " Hey, guys! Here's some sandwiches," said Tea. " Thanks," said Yugi. The sandwiches were made from a rich mayonnaise and turkey ham. " The next duel will be RexRaptor against MaulBeast," said The Announcer.

" Hello, all duel fans and welcome to the third to final duel of this tournament. Today 2 very skilled duelist will go head to head. First, the king of dinosaurs, RexRaptor!" said The Announcer. Rex came out on his stand from the right side of the room. The audience roared with excitement. " And the only duelist to beat Seto Kaiba in this tournament, MaulBeast!" said The Announcer as Maul came out on his stand from the left side of the room. The audience roared even more. " Yugi should have been there. He would've clobbered Kaiba," said Joey. " For once, I wish Raptor wins," said Joey. " Nah, I want Maul to win," said Yugi. " Hey, Joey, $50.00 says Maul wins," said Tristen. " Deal," said Joey. " Quiet now, the duel is starting," said Yugi. " Okay, prepare yourself for Mammoth Graveyard, and Invigoration! Now his attack power is 1600," said Raptor. " Nice, but let's see him stand against Battle Steer!" said Maul. The gigantic steer sliced Mammoth Graveyard. Rex's life points went down to 1800. " Okay, now I play Uraby and wasteland to make his attack power 1950!" said RexRaptor. The huge dinosaur slashed the beast-warrior. His life points went down to 1850. " Go, Hercules Beetle in defense mode," said Maul. " Go, Uraby!" said Raptor. But when Uraby hit Rex lost 50 life points. " What?" asked Rex. " My defense is 2000. So you lose 50 life points. And I play Curse of Dragon along with polymerization to make… Ancient Dragonfly with an attack power of 2500. So now Uraby won't survive. Slicing Wings of Death!" said Maul and Uraby was destroyed. Rex's life points went to 1250. " Let's see you stand against this, Serpent Night Dragon along with Dragon's Claw, now attack!" said Raptor. Ancient Dragonfly was destroyed and Maul lost 450 life points to a total of 1400. " I put the Magician of Faith in defense mode," said Maul. " Serpent Knight Dragon, attack!" said Raptor. The magician was destroyed. " Now I get to bring back a magic card," said Maul. " Who says?" asked Raptor. " That's the effect of my monster and I choose polymerization. And since it's my turn I play 2 more cards. Zombie Dragon, Polymerization and Living Arrow, to fuse my zombie into your dragon," said Maul. The zombie started to crawl. About five seconds later he turned into a golden arrow and went into the dragon. The head of the zombie appeared out of the dragon's stomach. " What have you done to my dragon?!" asked Raptor. " My Zombie Dragon is an un-dead type monster he can't properly fuse with your dragon. Instead your dragon loses attack points every passing turn," said Maul. " And I put a trap card face down," said Maul. " Well, since you don't have any monsters on the I'll just attack," said Rex. The black beams were about to hit his field when he flipped over the trap card. " Negate!" shouted Maul. The attack was repelled. Serpent Night Dragons attack power went down to 1350. " Now to put an end to this, Celtic Guardian!" said Maul and the warrior appeared. He sliced the dragon with his sword and Rex lost 50 life points. Now his total was 1200. " I play Megahowler, he'll crush you!" said Rex. " Not if I can help it," said Maul. " I play Sogen to make my monster get a field bonus and Invigoration. Now the Celtic Guardian's attack power is 2340. Though luck for your dino," said Maul. The Guardian once again kicked butt and Rex lost 540 life points. His total was now 660. " To finish this duel I play One-Eye Shielded Dragon with an attack power of 700," said Maul. " MaulBeast is the winner," said The Announcer. " Oh, well. I'll do better next time," said Rex. " Here's my fifty bucks," said Joey. " So Pegasus and MaulBeast? Pegasus has this one in the bags," said Joey. " I agree," said Yugi. " The next duel will be in five minutes and it will be RexRaptor against Banded Keith," said The Announcer.

" Welcome back. Right now both duelist are preparing for what will probably be the most important duel of their lives. And here they come," said The Announcer as he pointed to an opening door. Out come Banded Keith and RexRaptor. Both of them climbed up their dueling stands. Rex went first. " I play Rude Kaiser!" said Rex. " Go, Shadow Ghoul," said Banded Keith. " Do you know nothing? Rude Kaiser attack!" said Rex and the Rude Kaiser sliced the Shadow Ghoul. " Now, I play Curse of Dragon and polymerization to create Kaiser Dragon with an attack power of 2300," said Rex. " Let's see him stand against this, Tri-Horned Dragon with an attack power of 2850. Tri-Horned Dragon blast it away!" said Keith and Tri-Horned Dragon destroyed Kaiser Dragon. " Okay, Duel fans, the score is like this, Raptor with 1450, and Keith with 1800," said The Announcer. " Hey, guys! Who's winning?" asked Tea. " Keith is!" said Joey. " I don't want either to win!" said Joey. " I've got monster that strong in my deck," thought Rex. " I quit!" said Rex. " Okay, Rex is placed in fourth and gets 1,000 dollars and The Right Leg of the Forbidden One!" said The Announcer. " Keith is placed in third and get a jet plane, 20,000 dollars and Exodia the Forbidden One," said The Announcer. " The Next Duel will be Maximillion Pegasus vs. MaulBeast," said The Announcer.
***************
" Welcome, back duel fans. And this will probably be the best duel ever. Maximillion Pegasus vs. MaulBeast," said The Announcer. Both of the duelist came out and started to duel. " I play Killer Needle," said MaulBeast. " I play the Skull Knight with Toon World and The Shine Palace. To make Toon Skull Knight with an attack power of 3150, attack!" said Pegasus as the monster attacked Killer Needle and MaulBeast's life point went down to fifty. MaulBeast picked up one more card to make a total of five cards in his hand. Pegasus looked into MaulBeast's cards with a smirk on his face. But after a second of looking at the cards, the smirk became a face of horror. " My next monster is…" said MaulBeast. " Please don't say it, please don't say it," said Pegasus hoping that MaulBeast wouldn't play down the monster he had seen. " Exodia!" said MaulBeast as he placed down all five cards and the huge, unstoppable monster came out. " I'm not going to lose," Pegasus said. " Yes, you are, plus you are going to take a trip to second place. Exodia, OBLITERATE!!!!!" exclaimed MaulBeast. The monster made Pegasus' life points went down to 0. " Wow! What we had just seen is Exodia! Anyway Pegasus is in second place and wins 500,000 dollars, a computer, and a pet of your choice and a decade of free pet food and an 8-room house with 3 big screen TVs. And for our champion, MaulBeast, 4,000,000 dollars, 4 jet planes, and a gold medal forth 500 dollars, a 45-room mansion with 2 pools 6 jacuzzis 3 telescopes and a king size bed. A total of over 3,000,000,000 dollars," said The Announcer. " Would you like to say any words?" The Announcer asked MaulBeast putting the microphone near MaulBeast's mouth. MaulBeast just have a smile of evil on his face. The he opened his mouth, still with an evil look on his face, and said, " Yugi, beware!" " What!" exclaimed Yugi. " Well, uh, huh, um, what an interesting choice of words. Would you mind and tell us why, well you know, why did you choose those words?" asked The Announcer. " Nope," said MaulBeast. Yugi looked closely around his neck. He saw a gold string that looked like Bakura's Millenium Ring. Yugi turned of the T.V. " You guys, let's go," said Yugi grabbing his hooded jacket because it had started to rain. " Where?" asked Tea. " To see Bakura," said Yugi as Tristen and Joey grabbed their jackets too. " But, Yugi, I forget to bring my jacket," said Yugi passing his jacket to Tea. " I'll grab Grandpa's umbrella," said Yugi as he grabbed the black umbrella and Tea put on the jacket. They all headed out the door. When they got to Bakura's house they couldn't believe what they saw.
