Recap:
"So, after you spoke to her, the card changed?" Yami asked Kai, who nodded his head. Yami sighed.
"What does this mean?" Kaiba asked Yami, sounding slightly curious.
"It means that something is forcing them to come out." Yami answered.
"Come out?" The bey-breakers asked in unison.
"You see...the 'blade', as you put it, allows the beast to channel out its strength when you battle each other and others." Yami explained. "However, when their cards...the only way is for them to be summoned in a duel. When summoned, anyone can capture them with a millennium item and used them for their own selfish will."
"Duel?" The bey-breakers asked in unison again.
"That's right! I have to start teaching you, my pupil!" Jou yelled to Kai, randomly. Kai sweat-dropped.
"I don't know Jou..." Honda and Anzu said at the same time.
"Maybe he'll be better off if Yami or Kaiba taught him..." Anzu suggested. Jou shook his head.
"No, he shall be my grasshopper!" Jou declared as he walked up to Kai and dragged him off. Kai sighed. Might as well get learn over with. He cringed when Jou yelled over his shoulder. "You can have the others."
Chapter Three: The First Duel and Win
"And that's what and how you play a trap card." Jou explained Kai, who stared at Jou's cards thoughtfully. "And that's basically the whole game. Got it?"
"Kind of..." Kai answered, still a little confused.
"Great!" Jou said as he jumped up and grabbed Kai. He ran off with Kai looking kind of dazed . "Alright, Yugi!"
"Hai, Jou?" Yugi asked as he looked up from teaching Max about Duel Monsters.
"Duel my hopper!" Jou said. Yugi smiled.
"Kay!" Yugi walked over and sat down on the couch in front of a table. Kai looked at Jou like --.
"I don't own any cards." Kai said to Jou, who looked TT.
"Bu-but...I just taught you! You have to duel before you forget your lesson!" Jou said while looking sheepishly at Kai. "'Cause, I sort of forgot what I taught you..." '';
"I'll give you a new deck." Kaiba said out of the blue. Kai and everyone looked at him in surprise.
"Why?" Kai asked. Kaiba shrugged.
"I want to see how good a duelist you might become." Kaiba said nonchalantly. "Do you want them or not?"
"No-" Kai started, but Rei interrupted. This earned him a slight glare from Kai.
"Not, if you don't give us a deck two." Rei said, then looked to Kai for conformation. Kai rolled his eyes, but nodded his head. Kaiba stared for a while then shrugged. "Good, now if I'm correct, we need to customize our decks. So, take us the cards. The sooner we build a deck, the better."
"Tyson, why do you have a water-based deck?" Kenny asked. Tyson shrugged his shoulders.
"I like water." Tyson answered. "What is your deck like Rei?"
"I have a well balanced deck." Rei answered. "I helped Kai with his and-"
"More like ordered me which cards to get." Kai interrupted. Rei just blinked innocently. "...hn..."
"Anyway, his is fire based. What's yours Max?" Rei asked. Max smiled.
"It's windy and water!" Max answered.
"Let's duel!"
"Ah, man..." Tyson complied when he lost to Ryou, who was doing a victory dance with Yugi (who won against Max).
"You dance even though you only won against novice?" Kai asked with closed eyes and hands across his chest while leaning back.
"Party pooper..." Yugi mumbled as him and Ryou stopped dancing. "I challenge you Kai!" Kai just ignored him, making Yugi huff. "Are you a chicken?"
"No, but you're out of your league." Kai told Yugi, who sightly glared.
"Duel! Or I want stop bugging you until I get one!" Yugi threaten Kai, who opened his eyes slowly.
"Fine, bring it on..."
Kai said to Yugi. "Which then activates my trap card, Pole Position."
"Pole Position?" Anzu asked out loud to no one.
"With that card, the strongest monster on the field is immune to any magic cards played." Jou explained to her.
"Then why is he playing it when Yugi has the strongest monster on the field?" Ryou asked.
"I then activate my other trap card Ultimate Offering, allowing me to summon extra monsters with the price of 500 life points a piece. I place down these two cards in face down defense, costing me 500 life points. I then end my turn." The score was now 1500 (Yugi) to 1000 (Kai).
"Silly move Kai." Yugi said as he drew a card. He smirked. "Attack my Dark Magician and destroy his monster!"
"I don't think so!" Kai said with a smirk. He flipped over the monster that Yugi attack. "I active Mirror force!"
"No!"
"Oh, yes! Your monster is destroyed."
"...I end phase."
"I place a magic/trap card on the field and end phase."
Yugi drew a card, then smirked.
"I special summon Anron Sphinx/?!" Yugi said as he played the card. "I then equip him with Big Bang Shot, which increases its attack 400; AND if my monster's attacks has higher attack points than those of your monster's defense points, the difference is inflicted to your life points! However, if this card is destroyed or removed from the field, then the equipped monster is removed from play. I end my phase since I can't attack with him the same turn I summoned him."
"It doesn't work due to Pole Position..." Kai drew a card. "End turn..."
"It doesn't matter, it's powerful enough on its on." Yugi smirked, then drew a card. "I summon Skull Red Bird in attack position. Anron Sphinx/? attack one of Kai's face down monsters."
"Not so fast. I use the trap card Shadow Spell." Kai said as he flipped it over.
"Shadow Spell?" Yugi asked, confused. "What's that?"
"I select one face-up monster one my opponent's's side of the field and decrease the attack points of the monster by 700. The monster cannot attack or change its battle position." Kai explained with a smirk. "And guess which one I chose?...Anron Sphinx/?!"
"Damn!" Yugi yelled, making everyone stare at him in shock. "I mean darn! Darn it! Darn it to heck!"
"Anymore moves?" Kai asked Yugi mockingly. Yugi smirked.
"My Skull Red Bird can still attack!" Yugi said. "Attack the monster he has on the left!"
"You got me." Kai admitted as he flipped the card over, but smirked even more. "But I got you too. Meet my Dark Cat with White Tail! It allows me to send two of your monster cards back to your hand; however, I have to send one of mine back to my hand too."
"You're completely defenseless!" Yugi said to Kai. "And you got rid of your Shadow Spell!"
"So are you, but I'm not one about to end my turn, am I?" Kai asked Yugi, who glared at him slightly. "And oh, by the way. You're lucky that Pole Position is still in play, or else you would have lost your little Sphinx."
"...I...end turn..."
"Good, it time to end this!" Kai said as he drew a card. "I flip over my Familiar Knight and summon Rogue Doll! I then summon Beaver Warrior at the cost of 500 life points! I sit a magic/trap card down. Now all monsters, attack Yugi's life points!"
"No!!!!!!!!!!!!" Yugi shouted, then fell back on the floor. He started yelling while kicking and waving his fist widely. "It's not fair, it's not fair!"
"Great...he's having a tantrum..." Yami said while sighing.
"You're really good." Rei said to Kai, who was sitting outside on the balcony. Kai shrugged.
"What are the others doing?" Kai asked Rei, who sat down next to him on the balcony.
"Dueling." Rei answered. "So, that's why you and Kaiba took so long? (Kai gave Rei a confused look.) He was teaching you about Duel Monsters, wasn't he?"
"..." Kai nodded his head.
"I knew it!" Rei said, then put his index finger on his chin. "You know..."
"What?" Kai asked.
"Kaiba and Yami seem to like you." Rei stated. Kai just rolled his eyes.
"They only want to get into my pants." Kai told Rei with a sigh. "They're annoying."
"I think you enjoy the attention." Rei told Kai, who narrowed his eyes at him.
"Did you speak to Driger?" Kai asked Rei, who noticed the change in subjects. He rolled his eyes, but said nothing about the subject change.
"Yeah, he spoke to me." Rei answered. "He told me that he needed to be free. That I had to 'free' him..."
"...Did you try last night to call Mr. Dickerson?" Kai asked. "I tried, but..."
"It's like he isn't real..." Rei finished, then said. "I think that we're in an alternate dimension."
"..."
"It's true! There's no such thing as Beyblades! I've never heard of Duel Monsters! Did I mention that there was NO WAY IN HELL THAT WE SHOULD HAVE SURVIVED THAT PLANE CRASH?!?" Rei ranted. Kai thought for a moment. "We have to find a way back, and the only way to get back to find out who brought us here."
"How are we suppose to do that Rei?" Kai asked while getting up, waking to the balcony's edge, and looking at the sky. "We can barely get around...In this world, we're...we're on the borderline of helpless..."
"Kai..." Rei stood up and walked over to stand beside him.
"I can't stand sitting here. Tomorrow, we'll start thinking of an offense instead of always being on a defense." Kai said, which made Rei chuckle a little.
"Now, what would Max say about that?" Rei asked teasingly. Kai smirked.
"He wouldn't say a damn thing, I'm his Anki."
