Chapter 2
The next Morning
It was a Saturday so there was no school that day. Yugi and Yami were both hoping to sleep in since it was a Saturday and spend more time together. But they had no such luck.
They were right in the middle of another duel monsters game and it seemed either one of them could win this time.
When Yugi was about play one of his monsters on the field. "I summon...". He didn't get to finish because he heard his mother calling him trying to wake him up.
"Yugi, it's time to get up". Yugi was disappointed because he didn't get to finish his duel Yami. Yami noticed this. "What's wrong Yugi?" (Yami didn't hear Yugi's mom calling him.) "I have to leave."
"Don't worry, we can finish our duel next time." When Yugi heard this he knew Yami was right, so he nodded and smiled back to Yami.
Yugi's mother was still trying wake up Yugi. She thought he would never wake up until finally he did. "Good Yugi, your finally awake. Now hurry and get dressed."
"But it's a Saturday." 'I must of forgotten to tell him something' she thought. "Didn't I tell you that today you are visiting your grandfather?" "No, I don't remember you telling me that."
"It must have slipped my mind. Your grandfather wanted to see you today." "Why does he want to see me today?" "He said it had something very important to tell about that half of puzzle he gave you."
"Like what?" "I don't know, before I could ask he hung up. He's happy your going to visit him today. It's been a while since he last saw you."
"Yeah, it has." "Well hurry up and get dressed so you can see him. I promised him you would be there by one."
"But it's only ten." "Yes, I know, but by the time you eat breakfast and walk to the train station it will still be before noon."
Yugi was wondering why he had to be there before noon. His mother saw that questioning look in his eyes. "Remember last time you visited your grandfather. You were 2 hours late because the train station was crowded."
"Now I remember." "Well, hurry and get dressed so you won't be late." Yugi finally got out of bed to get dressed.
Yami's house
After Yugi left the dream Yami woke up. 'Just another dream, but Yugi seems so real. I know it was just a dream though' thought Yami.
Yami's mother walked into his room after he woke up. "Good, your up. Now get dressed so we won't miss the train and be late to the funeral" his mother said sadly.
After Yami's grandfather died there wasn't a funeral right away because in his will he wanted all of his relatives to be there.
All of his relatives lived in different countries so it took a while to get all their phone numbers to call them and a while to get them all to Japan.
"Okay..." said Yami. He got out of bed to get dressed and left the house with his mother.
Yugi
After Yugi got dressed and finished breakfast he left the house and headed for the train station.
He took a shortcut through the park so he could get there faster. While he was walking he was walking he was paying any attention to his surroundings.
So Yugi crashed into something or someone. Yugi rubbed his head as he looks up to see a tall man around his mid twenties wearing dark clothing.
"Kid, do we have a problem because I think we do!" He says as he grabs Yugi to pull him up like he was a bag.
Yugi was very nervous because he thinks this guy will beat him up, until he says: "SORRY! I didn't mean it. Maybe we could settle this in a reasonable way?" The man then notices that some of Yugi's cards were on the floor. He then asked him:
"Are you a duelist?" Yugi, surprisely, nods to his question. The man puts him down and says with a grin: "Alright, we'll duel instead. If you win, I'll let this slide. If I win, you owe me big time! What do you say, shorty?
Yugi knees down as he picks up his cards and says with a smile: "Sure! I accept your challenge."
"Very well. Let's go to the park to settle this... unless you don't want to?" He asked with a deathly glare as Yugi gulps his throat nervously. He has to be in the train station now, but he has no choice.
The two walk miles away to the park where they stand next to the water fountain. The man tossed Yugi a duel disk to him.
"You seem to forgot about Battle City's rules of the new dueling system and you must have forgot yours back home, right?" The man asked which surprise Yugi. He simply ignores what he said as he places the Duel Disk on his right arm and place his deck inside the slot.
"Shall we?" The man asked as he activates his Duel Disk as Yugi did at the same time. The scent of a duel was all around them, but Yugi was a bit nervous because he likes to duel Yami instead, but he can't.
"Duel!" Both shouted as they draw their 5 cards as the duel commences.
(Yugi: 4000LP, Stranger: 4000LP)
"You start first... kid." The older man said as Yugi nervously starts his turn.
Yugi's turn, Hand: 5, Turn 1: "I'll start by setting one card facedown and summon Giant Soldier of Stone in defense mode. I end my turn." He starts his turn as giant stone warrior was summon on the field and a facedown appeared behind it.

Stranger's turn, Hand: 5, Turn 2: "My move then. I summon Twin Headed King Rex in attack mode." He says as a purple, two headed T-Rex was summoned on his field.

"I next equal him with United We Stand spell card that powers-up my dinosaur by 800ATK for every face-up monster card on my field, which includes him. Now, attack that stone!" He declares as his two headed T-Rex, with 2400ATK, launched a powerful attack at Yugi's monster that destroyed it.
"I reveal the trap card, Soul Rope which allows me to special summon a Level 4 monster from my deck at the price of 1000 of my Life Points. I choice Big Shield Gardna in defense mode." Yugi said as his Life Points drop at 3000LP, but then he was able to summon his big shield warrior on the field.
Big Shield Gardna Lvl 4 ATK: 100 DEF: 2600
"I set a card and that ends my turn." He says as he has a set card on his field.
Yugi's turn(3000LP), Hand: 4, Turn 3: "My turn, draw! I scarifies Big Shield Gardna to tribute summon Summoned Skull in attack mode!" Yugi says as his warrior disappears to take place his white skull, lighting fiend.

"Attack Summoned Skull with Lighting Strike!" Yugi order as his fiend unleashes a powerful current of lighting at Two-Headed King Rex.
"Don't think so thanks to my Negate Attack trap card that negates your attack and end your battle phase." The man says as he reveals his barrier that protected his dinosaur from destruction.
"I set one card and that ends my turn." Yugi says as he sets a new facedown on his field.
Stranger's turn, Hand: 3, Turn 4: "My turn, draw! I summon my own fiend, Archfiend Soldier in attack mode." He says as a fiendish monster appears wearing a dark green cape. The his Two-Headed King Rex's attack increased by 3200ATK thanks to United We Stand effect.
"Battle. Attack my King Rex, wipe out that skull now!" He commanded as his rex charged and does a tackle that destroyed Yugi's fiend and dropping his Life Points to 2300LP.
"And now without any monsters protecting you, attack Archfiedn Soldier! Strike him directly!" He commanded again as his fiend took his own shot at Yugi. The attack strike him as his Life Points drop to 400LP.
"Hn! Is this the best you got. I throwdown another facedown card and I end my turn." He says with disappointment. He already knows he's going to win, but Yugi was very calm.
Yugi's turn(400LP), Hand: 3, Turn 5: "My move. I guess I shouldn't hold back." Yugi responds which surprise the man himself. What in the world did he meant by "hold back"?
"I first play my Graceful Charity spell card which lets me draw three cards, but then I have to discard two." Yugi says as he draws his three cards, but then discards two.
"I'm not done as I play Monster Reborn to bring back one monster that is in either Player's Graveyard and brings it to my field. I Special Summon my ace, Dark Magician!" Yugi says proudly as his powerful magician and treasure card was summoned on the field in attack mode.
Dark Magician Lvl 7 ATK: 2500 DEF: 2100
The man was now impressed, but that monster can't win. Yugi is about to prove him wrong.
"I play Black Magic Ritual to send both Celtic Guardian and Beta the Magnet Warrior to Ritual Summon the strongest magician, Magician of Black Chaos!" Yugi says as his another, powerful magician was summoned on the field in all of its power.
Magician of Black Chaos Lvl 8 ATK: 2800 DEF: 2600
"Trap card open, Dust Tornado! Now I can destroy your facedown card." Yugi says with a smirk as his facedown, tornado card wipes out the stranger's Mirror Force trap card. Now the man was very worry.
"Battle! Go Magician of Black Chaos, attack Archfiend Soldier with Chaos Scepter Blast!" Yugi orders as his magician fires a powerful blast at the dark fiend that drops his Life Points to 3100LP. Then Two-Headed King Rex power decreased back to 2400ATK.
"Not done! Dark Magician, attack that rex with Dark Magic Attack!" Yugi commands as his magician fires his signature move that destroy that dinosaur and decrease the stranger's Life Points to 3000LP.
"I end my turn." Yugi says with a smirk. The man was now impressed that he turn that situation all around in one whole turn.
Stranger's turn(3000LP), Hand: 2, Turn 6: "My move then. I summon Aqua Madoor in defense mode and two facedowns. My turn ends." He says as a water magician with a mask was summoned on the field with two face downs on both sides.
Aqua Madoor Lvl 4 ATK: 1200 DEF: 2000
Yugi's turn, Hand: 0, Turn 7: The King of Games was looking very closely at the man's face downs as he draws his top card.
"I play Pot of Greed to draw two cards! Next I play Heavy Storm that destroys all Spell and Trap cards on the field." Yugi says as he plays one of his two cards he draw as it leaves the field clean of spells and traps.
"I next summon Kuriboh in attack mode!" Yugi says with a smile as his brown, furry fiend was summon on his field. The man knew he lost with that little move.
Kuriboh Lvl 3 ATK: 300 DEF: 200
"Battle! Dark Magician, take down Aqua Madoor!" Yugi orders as his magician uses his dark magic blast to destroy the man's last monster.
"Go Kuriboh and Magician of Black Chaos, take down his Life Points to zero!" Yugi commands as both monsters attack the Stranger and drop his Life Points to zero.
Winner... Yugi: 400LP vs. Stranger: 0LP
Both duelist shake their hands as Yugi says with a smile: "That was an excellent duel. You almost had me with those moves."
"Same here. I guess you win so you can leave." The man responds back with a smile.
After Yugi defeated him he ran to the train station so he would get there Before it got crowded.
Yugi knew his grandfather who must be waiting for him by now because of that long duel.
When he got there he looked at the clock that was at the train station and it was past noon. 'I'm going to be really late' Yugi thought.
When he walked towards the train it was so crowded he barely had room to walk. But right when he was walking inside the train he saw someone that looked almost exactly like him walk out of the compartment to his right.
They looked directly at each other. When Yugi stopped starring he was already inside the train and the doors were closing.
He didn't believe what he saw. 'He looked exactly like...No, I must be imagining it. He is only a dream' thought Yugi.
But Yugi was unsure of himself. 'He could be...No, it's impossible. He doesn't exist. But he looked directly at me' he thought.
Little did Yugi know that Yami was thinking the exact same thing and he was real.
