Yu-Gi-Oh: The Next Adventure Chapter 2, a yu-gi-oh fanfic

The duels won't start until the next chapter. The chapters with duels will take a while manly because I need to look up the cards.

The dome filled up really quick. Yugi look around him, he saw Rafael, Valon, Mai, Joey, Seto and Alister. The rest of his friends were up in the crowd. Tristan, Ryo, Marik, and two other that are friends of Yugi. The first was a black hair man name Duke Devlin. The second was a girl named Serenity Wheeler.

Duke was an enemy then friend. He own the Black Clown game shop. After trying to show that Yugi own his duels by cheating. He been came a friend. Duke had on a black sleeveless shirt under a red vest, black pants and white shoes. He also had on a dice earring, and his eye were emerald green

Serenity was Joey's younger sister. She had auburn hair and brown/ green eyes. She mostly lived with their mother, but sense Joey turned 18 he had been trying to get Serenity to live with him. Serenity had on a little pink shirt. brown skirt, and white dress shoes.

Tristan had on a nice tan shirt and pants. Ryo had on a white shirt and blue pants. Marik had on a purple shirt, tan pants, and earrings. The five of them were in the VIP spot. The VIP was in the highs spot in the dome. Marik's sister and brother would have been there too, but they had to work.

"So who do you think it the bad guy?" Tristan asked looking at the duelists on the ground.

"We now who isn't the bad guy" Duke answered.

Marik look at the crowd then said "There is a chance that the person maybe in the stands"

Both Tristan and Duke look at him "You're right" Tristan said. Knowing that the person might not be a duelist.

"Everyone ready?" a young male voice asked over the intercom. The speaker was Mokuba Kaiba. Mokuba was wearing a Blue button up shirt with the Kaiba corp. logo, black pants, and white shoes. He was on a platform just under the VIP spot. A second megaphone was in his hand.

A loud shout of 'Yes' was hear.

"All right" Mokuba yelled back. "Now here are the rules. First the duels with be at random so no one will know who their appoint will be. Second the loser of the of the duel must give up their symbol to the winner. Lastly the winner of the tournament get one of two things a new duel disk or a new deck". The symbols were just a wood block with the Kaiba corp. logo on it.

Yugi look at Kaiba, who was next to him "Were dose the new deck come from?" he asked

"Pegasus" Seto said at the same time he sounded annoyed, Yugi couldn't blame him. Maximillion Pegasus the owner of Industrial Illusions and the creator of Duel Monsters. He once try to take over Kaiba corp. Yugi had stop him, although he had been fighting for his grandpa.

"I see"

Yugi turned back to Mokuba, so he could hear the next part.

"Now here are the duelists" Mokuba said. "First my big brother Seto Kaiba"

Seto just stud where he was. He had on his white Kaiba corp. jacket, black leather pant, black shirt, and black boots.

"Joey Wheeler"

Joey raised his hand in the air and grinded like an idiot. He had a Blue jacket, White pants, and blue shoes.

"Alister"

Alister just smiled a bit when his name was called.

"Rafael"

Rafael just look up at the crowd.

"Valon"

"Ello" Valon yelled and waved his arms.

"Mai Valentine"

Mai smiled and waved. Men in the crowd yelled things like "Marry me". Valon glared.

"Kate Radmeson"

Kate look up at her name and waved. Many people started to mutter.

"Karth Anders"

The man who had grabbed Kate earlier look at her with a less then pleasant smile. He had on a black shirt, blue pants, and black shoes.

After 20 other it was finally Yugi's turn.

"And finally the reigning champ" Mokuba said "Yugi Moto"

The dome erupted with cheers. Many girl were cheering the loudest. Yugi felt his cheeks grow hot.

Mokuba let the crowd die down before speaking. "Now for the entertainment" he said making sure that everyone had their eyes on the stage "Here is the, The Atlantean Knights"

Smoke appeared on the stage. Three shapes could be seen, when the smoke cleared the band was standing in the middle. Timaeus had a white shirt, tan pants, and blue shoes. Critias had a blue shirt, a white tie, black pants, and white shoes. Hermos, who had a gray shirt, black pants, and white shoes, walked up to the megaphone.

"Hello Domino city" he said into the megaphone. The crowd yelled in excitement. "Are you ready from some music?"

While the sound got louder. Yugi was looking at the band with his mouth open. The duelist had moved when the smoke appeared, so they could watch without hurting their necks. He look at Joey to see what he thought. Joey's mouth was also open. Hermos sound like Joey with a Greek accent. If Hermos sounded like that, what did the others sounded like.

Timaeus walk up to the megaphone and took it from Hermos. Hermos walk to one of the guitars. Critias was at the drums. Timaeus set the megaphone next to the last guitar. "The first song is the 'Heart of the Cards'" Timaeus said then started to sing:

Long ago in ancient times
Sacred game was played in both spirit and mind
Seven items hold the mystery, Puzzle, Eye, Necklace, Ring, Rod, Scale, and Key

Yugi, Ryo and Marik went wide eyed. All three didn't like that the seven millennium items were mentioned. Marik texted his sibling. Ryo felt sick, but didn't let the others. Yugi who had thought that the band's aperients was just a coincidence, and he was now very scared. Could the band be part of the new threat? Yugi didn't really know.

Who will make the final stand?
Make the move
The answer lies in your hand
And whether you win or lose
Hangs in the balance with
The card you choose

(Trust) trust in the heart
Don't let down your guard
The heart of the cards
Don't battle too hard
Remember to trust in the heart of the cards
(Yu-Gi-Oh!
Yu-Gi-Oh!
Time to duel!)

There's a presence deep within
Search your soul take control
You will win
Two forces intertwine
Just need the guidance of
An old friend of mine

There's a power thats all around
It descends from the friends who won't let you down
And when you come undone
They stand by your side till the duel is won

(Trust) trust in the heart
Don't let down your guard
The heart of the cards
Don't battle too hard
Remember to trust in the heart of the cards
(Yu-Gi-Oh!
Yu-Gi-Oh!
Time to duel!)

Seto didn't like this even though he now excepted magic. People that look like others were bad news. He decided to keep his eyes on the band.

(Trust) trust in the heart
Don't let down your guard
The heart of the cards
Don't battle too hard
Remember to trust in the heart of the cards
(Yu-Gi-Oh!
Yu-Gi-Oh!
Time to duel!)

(Yu-Gi-Oh! x4)

Long ago in ancient times
Sacred game was played in both spirit and mind
Seven items hold the mystery

Just trust in the heart of the cards
(Yu-Gi-Oh! x5)

Timaeus stopped sing and playing his guitar. Everyone in the stands around the dome cheered. Unaware of the tension from Yugi, Joey, Seto, Ryo, and Marik. Yugi, Ryo, Marik all had one of the millennium items. Yugi had the puzzle( that look like an upside down pyramid), Ryo the ring( the millennium ring was not a ring that could be found on one's finger, it was a pendant with five spikes) Marik had the rod ( it was a wind rod). All three of the items had the Eye of Anubis on them.

Timaeus move the megaphone to the drums then Critias said " Next is 'One Card Short'" them he started to sing:

Life's just a game we all wanna win.
Keep your hand a secret, unleash the monsters within!
Sometimes it's over before it's even begun.
If someone else gets hurt then, what have you really won?

I'm always one card short, always one day late!
For once I'd like an ending I can celebrate.
Stacked the deck myself, so there's no one else to blame.
I need just one more move, one final chance to prove
I can win this game.

The song didn't sound like the band know about the adventures Yugi had. It just sounded like they know that a lot of the time duelist always won with one less card then their opponent.~

Life's just a duel, that's how the world is made.
But are we really players, or are we being played?

Kate was looking at the band with a 'What the' look. Pulling out her deck Kate Pulled out three cards "Who are you? She asked more to herself before looking back at the band. Seto look at the band member he resembled. He wonder if he could sing like that, but didn't want to find out.

Is what happens next in your control?
Are you doing what you want, or what you've been told?
Do you choose the cards from your own hand,
Or are we just puppets in a master plan?

One more move!

Everyone was having fun in the stands. The band now had more fans, many were fan girls of Seto, Yugi and Joey.

One card short, one day late!
Give me somethin', somethin' to celebrate!
Stacked the deck myself so there's no one else to blame.

One more move I'm gonna win this game,
I'm gonna win this game.
I'm gonna win this game!

One more move, I'll win this game.
Then I'm gonna celebrate!
Then I'm gonna celebrate!

The music died down, so did the crowd. Hermos took the megaphone and put it in between him and Timaeus. "Here is the last song" Hermos said then both he and Timaeus became to sing:

Yeah
Yeah
How did it come to this
After all we been through
Two of a pair now on opposite sides
From the very start with honor we dueled
We watched each other's back
And we battled with pride
We're closer than brothers
Now we're have to fight each other
And we trust our fate
To the heart of the cards

No matter what
Let the game begin
No matter what
May the best man win
No matter what
We're in this together
No matter what
We'll be friends forever
No matter what

Joey look at Yugi and mouthed 'Told you'. Joey knew that the song meant to friends that had to fight each other, but remanded friend though it all.

Yeah
Yeah
It's been you and me
Hanging out playing games
Didn't ever think it would get this hard
Times running out
And so much at stake
Everything riding on the turn of a card
We'll show them what we're made of
As we fight for the ones we love
And we'll be friends to the very end

No matter what
Let the game begin
No matter what
May the best man win
No matter what
We're in this together
No matter what
We'll be friends forever
No matter what

Yeah
I don't wanna give up
But I will never give in
Don't wanna duel with my very best friend
We're an equal match
And we win every play
With so much at stake
I just can't walk away
Though I need a victory
You always meant the world to me
And that's one thing that will never change

No matter what
Let the game begin
No matter what
May the best man win
No matter what
We're in this together
No matter what
We'll be friends forever, yeah
No matter what
Let the game begin
No matter what
May the best man win
No matter what
We're in this together
No matter what
We'll be friends forever
No matter what

Yugi thought about the duel in battle city that had him and Joey dueling each other. Yugi had had used the red-eyes black dragon to free Joey from mind control. The song reminded him of that.

The band stopped playing and bowed to everyone in the dome. Then they turn and left the stage with their interments. Timaeus stopped at the exited and looked over his shoulder at Yugi. Yugi thought he saw Timaeus smile kindly at him. Then the band member turn back and left.

"That the, The Atlantean Knights" Mokuba said to a loud round of applause " Let the tournament begin." Mokuba pointed to a billboard that had the faces of the Duels on them. Everyone watched the board to see who was in the first match.

Fact: Eric Stuart the voice actor for Seto Kaiba is so a singer in his own band. If anyone was wounding about seto lines about him singing. Also the Heart of the Cards song is song by Eric Stuart. I made Timaeus sing it for an affected on yugi. Most people will get why Timaeus and Hermos song No Matter What
