I watch as Yami draws his cards, "I'll begin with Petit Dragon in defense mode! That ends my turn." He says.

"Commence turn. Draw card." The computer says, "Activate Cost Down. Summon Airknight Parshath. Activating trap card; Robbin' Goblin. Now every time damage is inflicted to you, you must discard one card. Commece attack on Petit Dragon, and then on Life Points."

Yami is down to only 800 Life Points now. If he was using his real deck, then that computer would've lost by now, but he's stuck with using Rick's amateur deck. Yami still looks confident, but Rick looks worried. Yami draws his next card, "My move! I summon Luster Dragon in attack mode and then equip him with Dragon Treasure, raising its attack points!" I guess Rick does have a magic card, "Luster Dragon, attack his Airknight!"

The computer is now down to 3700 Life Points. "Summoning Slate Warrior. Commence attack." Luster Dragon has enough attack points to destroy it and the computer is down to 3400 Life Points, "Activate special effect; when Slate Warrior is destroyed, it will decrease Luster Dragon's attack by 500. Commence attack."

Berserk Gorilla attacks and destroys Luster Dragon, bringing Yami to 500 Life Points. Yami draws, "I summon Cave-Dwelling Dragon in defense mode! That ends my turn."

"Sacrificing Berserk Gorilla. Summoning Jinzo." Due to its effect, Robbin' Goblin is destroyed, "Now attack. Ending turn."

Yami draws and his eyes light up, "Alright, first, I'll play Baby Dragon in defense mode! Now I'll activate this; Heart of the Underdog! That will end my turn."

Joey looks at the card weirdly, causing me to smirk. My attention goes back toward the computer, "Drawing card. Summoning Sinister Serpent in attack mode. Jinzo will now attack. Sinister Serpent will now strike opponent directly. Turn complete."

Yami is down to 200 Life Points. "Now I activate the effect of Heart of the Underdog!" Yami says, "If I've drawn a monster from my deck, then I'm allowed to draw another card. And I've drawn Curse of Dragon! So now I draw Koumori Dragon! And then Winged Dragon Guardian of the Fortress! Then Crawling Dragon! And Blackland Fire Dragon! I now play Spirit Ryu in attack mode! Spirit Ryu, attack Jinzo now! And by using its special ability, I can discard six dragon-type monsters from my hand to raise its attack to 7000! Now obliterate the rest of his Life Points!"

The computer shuts down as the lights turn back on and all the exits open up. Yami and Rick step down from the dueling arena, as the crowd of kids goes around Rick asking him to trade his cards with them. The gang and I walk up to Yami to congratulate him, as he puts his arm around me. "How'd you know he would need that card?" I ask.

Yami smirks, "Just a feeling." He says.

All of us begin to walk outside the dome and watch the group of kids run toward their parents. Joey then turns toward Yami, "Hey, about dat Underdog card, didn't you say it reminds ya of someone?" he says.

Yami now looks nervous, "I-I did?"

I can't help but laugh to myself at how this will turn out. Joey begins to tap his foot and Yami continues to look nervous, "Oh, yes… um… uh… A little help here Yugi?"

Yami then immediately changes back to a red-faced Yugi. "Oh, thanks a lot Pharaoh! You're real mature!" he says.

Joey then grabs Yugi into a headlock, "Well, I'm waiting for an answer. And everyone seems ta think I remind ya of this Underdog."

"Um, well, maybe…"

~Sabrina~

I watch as Joey keeps trying to get an answer out of Yugi, but he's too afraid to admit anything. I glance overhead to see a white KC helicopter land in front of us. Out of the helicopter comes Kaiba wearing a very business-like white suit. "Mokuba!" he says.

"Hey Seto!" Mokuba says excitedly running toward him.

"Is everything alright here?"

"You tell us!" Joey yells, "How about ya fix that whacko computer of your Rich-Boy, before I decide to make you incapable of using ya hands!"

"Settle down you underdog." The rest of us can't help but laugh slightly, much to Joey's displease, "There's nothing wrong with my computer. It was the hacker that's the problem."

"Who was it?" Yugi asks.

"I'm not sure. The Kaiba Corporation has lists of enemies. But mark my words, this person will be found and severely punished for ruining my new tournament! In the mean time, Roland, I want security tripled for tournament registration tonight."

"Yes sir!" Roland says rushing off.

"And if you dweebs don't register in time, than you'll be disqualified. Mokuba, I'm putting you in charge of making sure Wheeler's late."

"HEY! Come back here, Rich-Boy!" Joey yells as Kaiba gets back into his helicopter and flies off.

That night, we make it to where a party's being held for the tournament. All of us register, but luckily, Joey isn't late. I stand by Yugi as we watch Joey, Tristan, and Duke hog the TV cameras. I glance over to see Rebecca by the food table and yelling at one woman who looks a little over twenty.

The woman looks up toward Yugi and I and rushes toward us, "Oh my, you're Yugi Muto right?" she says.

"Uh, yes." Yugi says.

"Oh wow, I'd recognize that cute spiky hair anywhere! I'm Vivian Wong, but call me Viv!"

"Oh, um, hi… Viv?"

"Yeah, and once the tournament starts, we'll be rivals, but that doesn't mean we can't be best buddies now!" she says hugging Yugi against her chest. Which is a place she really shouldn't be hugging him against. I notice that Yugi's face is turning bright red at this though.

It's rather funny to watch, but I can't help but have an uncomfortable feeling over it. Plus this Vivian really seems to bother me. Rebecca seems angry at the way 'Viv' is hugging Yugi, "Hey lady!" she shouts.

Vivian looks up, "Oh my gosh! Is that Seto Kaiba over there?! Kaiba, over here!" she says running in some other direction. Yugi's face is now turning back to its normal color as he catches his breath.

"Oh, hi Yugi."

We look over to see Leon standing behind us, "Leon, what are you doing here?" Yugi asks.

"Actually, I'm competing in the KC Grand Prix also." He says.

"Oh wow, that's awesome!"

"If I may have your attention please!" Roland says from the stage, "This day will go down in history, for this is when the most grandest Duel Monsters tournament will begin; the Kaiba Corp Grand Prix!"

"I guess that's our cue." Joey says.

~Ari~

"Right." I say.

All of us walk up onto the stage and face the cameras and crowd. "Yes and first of our contenders is the undefeated child prodigy; Leon Wilson!" Roland says as the spotlight goes on Leon.

"No way, that kid's undefeated?" Joey says.

"I wonder what his dueling strategy is." Yami says.

"Whatever it is, he won't be easy to beat." I say.

Roland announces some other duelists that I've never heard of, including Shane Jordan, Sergei Ivanoff, Paul McGregor, Abe the Monkey Man (who has a real monkey next to him at all times), Richard Goat, Balfrey Ginger, Totani Ialos, Ethan Shark, Jafar Shin, and "The kung-fu master Vivian Wong!" Roland says as Vivian shows off her 'skills'

Ugh, I want that woman to go down in the first round. "Next is the cute, but powerful, Rebecca Halkins! Also, we have our underdog, Joey Wheeler!" at those words, Joey starts yelling and ranting about how he's not an underdog, "And our mysterious duelist Adpnarg Otum!"

The guy has a black mask over his face, but he looks rather old and chubby and is waving peace signs to the crowd. "Adpnarg? The guy seems a bit weird." I say.

"Yes, but he somehow looks familiar." Yami says.

"And we also have the stylish Zigfriend Lloyd!" the guy has long pink hair with a magenta suit and holds a rose, "And we have our inspiring queen; Sabrina Cafford!"

The spotlight shines in my face, but it's not too blinding. "Inspiring?" Sabrina says.

"I don't know. Maybe it's just for effect." I say back.

"Finally, our defending champion and King of Games; Yugi Muto! Whoever wins the division will get to square off with him for the World Champion crown!" Roland continues, "And to keep things fair, we'll be randomly selecting each of your opponents. On behalf of the Kaiba Corporation, I wish you the best of luck! But only one will be crowned World Champion!"

Battle City was still WAY better than this tournament (fyi Kaiba). They just glorify this one too much like it's the best thing since Duel Monsters came out. And Ha! I love the running gag in this. Oh, and by the way, I'm not planning to do Capsule Monsters or any of that crap (it seemed rather bland and I just want to stick with the original storyline), plus I don't think I'll do the movies either.
