Here's my third chapter. I am trying my hardest with the grammar and spelling, but no one is perfect. Thank for the advice, and the reviews.
I don't own Yugioh
"Speaking"
'Thoughts and spirit talking'
(Atk/Def)
Tea's Prov
School
Two days later Joey, Yugi, Tristan and I were in the class, when Yugi pulled out 5 of cards. "Look what I found under my door last night guys, it's an invitation to duellist kingdom." Yugi said laying out the cards on the table.
"So is that where he is keeping your Grandpa?" Joey asked.
"Maybe, but to know for sure I'll need to be a contestant. The boat leaves in two days." Yugi replied
"I can't believe Pegasus, used some weird magic to steal you Grandpa's show." Tristan said picking up one of the cards on the table. "Yugi do you really think this is a good idea it could be really dangerous?" I asked leaning over looking at the cards. 'I wish I had accepted the invitation now.' I thought.
Joey pulled me out of my thoughts by saying, "the worst part is we can't even go with you without invitations. I'm sorry Yug I wish we could help but I don't see how."
"Hey Yugi look, the first prize is Three Million pounds." Tristan says looking at the prize money card. I shook my head, smiling. "Come on Tristan, who cares about money at a time like this?" Yugi asks. Joey then snatches the card out of Tristan's hands. "Three Million in cold hard cash." Joey says a smile on his face like a kid who has just opened his Christmas present and got exactly what he wanted. "I guess Joey does." Yugi answered.
"Three million." Joey said again.
On the Roof
I went up to the roof to think. See if there was a way to help Yugi. I went to the door, froze when I heard voices.
"One way or another I will help you beat Pegasus."
"That really means a lot to me Joey, I'm glad we're friends"
'Oh it's Yugi and Joey out there.' I thought.
"Remember when we first met?" I heard Joey ask.
"How could I forget it was all because of the Millennium Puzzle. My Grandpa bought it back from Egypt and dared me to solve it. It was incredible I knew it was special the moment I touched it." Yugi said. I peeked out and saw holding the puzzle in his hands. 'I remember that. The minute I saw it I knew that Yugi would release My Pharaoh and everything would change.'
"I made a wish on that puzzle. I asked it to give me a real friend, and I believe it did. It was then that I meet up with Tristan and you, but you weren't my friends at first." Yugi continued.
"You mean when we were playing Keep away with the Millennium Puzzle? That was for you, we were trying to toughen you up, and so you could stand up to the real bullies. We were only teasing." I heard Joey say.
"Teasing? You took a piece of the Millennium Puzzle and threw it out the window. And I was the one who helped you when that bully picked on you."Yugi said.
"Yeah, he was a mean one. You stood up for us that day Yugi and I'll never forget that. Because of you we got that creep expelled. Tristan and I on that day also learnt what it meant to have a true friend." Joey said.
'Ah that's so sweet.' I thought.
"You did retrieve the lost puzzle piece for me, without that I could never have solved the Millennium Puzzle." Yugi said, I picked round again, and saw a smile on his face. "The truth is Yugi you are the best friend I've ever had." Joey said.
"Same here Joey. Too bad you can't go with me to rescue my Grandpa." Yugi said I could hear the frown in his voice. "I promise, some way we will be there, and do it together." Joey said, I nodded agree trying to think of what I could do. "Together?" Yugi asked.
"You bet we are a team Yugi." Joey said.
"But how can you without an Invitation?" I decided to leave after that. I walked down the stairs. As I was half way I decided on what to do. I jumped the rest and ran home.
Tea's Home (Mansion)
I unlocked the door to my home, and ran in. I grabbed the phone, and called the number I never thought I would call.
Ring
Ring
Ring
"Hello, who is this?" the voice on the other side asked.
"Hello I would like to talk to Maximillion Pegasus." I said.
"Sorry, but he is very busy at the moment." The voice said again.
"Just say it's Kaylian Paris," I replied. I waited for a few minutes then I heard it.
"Ah, Kaylian girl, what can I do for you, on this fine evening?" Pegasus voice came through the phone. "The Duellist Kingdom Tournament, allow Joey, Tristan and I to join Yugi on the island, please?" I asked disgusted at myself that I had come to this. "As it's you, I will allow you to come, but only two guests, the other must be a duellist. Also, Yugi must also share his star chisp with the other duellist so they only have one each." Pegasus said, I could tell he was smirking.
"Very well I accept, I'll let Yugi know. Thank you for your time and see you soon." I replied and was about to put the phone down, but he continued.
"One more thing, even though I can tell it won't be you in the tournament, I expect a duel sometime in the tournament, even if it's after I beat Yugi boy. Also what name are you using at the moment, because I know you aren't using your real name, otherwise you would be all over the news." Pegasus said.
"Very well I accept, and I go by Tea Gardner." I said then I put the phone down. After that I quickly phoned the boys and told them to meet me for lunch tomorrow.
Lunch the Next Day
When I arrived at our lunch meeting point the next day the boys were already there. Tristan and Joey were stuffing their faces, while Yugi was eating neatly. I noticed there was another lunch already set out, "Hi boys." I said greeting them. "Hi Tea." The call said together 'creepy' I thought.
"We got you lunch. Salad Chicken Rap with chips." Yugi said, passing it over to me. I smiled and took a bite. "Ok Tea last night I came up with a plan to get to Duellist Kingdom. Tristan and you will sneak on board while; I get on board with Yugi. Brilliant right?" Joey said a huge grin on his face. I just smiled.
"Yeah great idea." I said sarcastically "I have a better."
"What is it?" Tristan said his mouth full.
"These." I said taking out the tickets and invites that Pegasus sent out of my bag. "Here's the deal. According to this Pegasus has allowed us to come, but one of us must duel along with Yugi, and the other duellist and Yugi must share his star chip. So one each" I explained, twisting the truth.
"Really?" Joey said grabbing the paper out of my hand. "I'm duelling." He said, so quickly I nearly missed it. "Ok I don't mind. What do you think guys?" I asked. "Fine by me." Tristan said.
"I don't mind." Yugi said. "The boat leaves tomorrow, so be prepared." I smiled at him then we continued eating, and made small talk. We talked and laughed like nothing had gone wrong even though we all knew that wasn't true.
The Pier
"Attention all duellists. This tournament sponsors Industrial Illusions Welcome you. You all reserved with your invitation two star chips, which allow you entry in to the contest. You are all elite. Hand picked by us after close observation of your last duel. You all have a fair chance to win. It all comes down to how well you have chosen your cards, and how well you play. Now duellist cross the ocean and enter The Duellist Kingdom." Komo said from on board, looking down upon all of us. 'Always so dramatic,' I thought.
"Please present your star chips as you board." Was heard through all the chatter of excited people. We moved along the line, getting closer, and closer. 'Whatever you're up to Pegasus I will stop you, and help Yugi's Grandpa' Tristan's voice pulled me out of my thoughts, by saying "Tea are you sure they will let us on?"
"Yeah, Yugi and I only have one star chip each, plus Tristan and you aren't even duellists." Joey said looking at me.
I just smirked, "don't you trust me?" We reached the desk and the man asked for our star chips. We placed the two down, and he looked confused. "Sorry, but its only duellists. No guests." The man said. I smiled, steeping forward passing the man the card Pegasus sent me. He looked at it, nodded "Very well go on." Passing the little gold stars back to us.
I smiled "Thank you." Joey and Yugi took them and we bored the ship.
On the Boat
"I'm glad they let you guys on bored. Even if Joey and I are only duelling with one star chip." Yugi said as we lent against the boats rail.
"Me too." Tristan said, "nice one Tea."
"Yeah, if the other duellist find out we only have one star chip each they could really try to take advantage of it." Joey said looking down into the dark deep water bellow. "Then be quite about it." Yugi said.
"Kind of exiting isn't it guys?" Joe said smiling.
"Yeah it is," Yugi said.
"Defiantly," Tristan agreed.
"I guess," I said looking around for any one I recognised. 'It's just another tournament. Then again the first is a thrill.' I thought looking back out to sea.
"Well, well, well what do we have here?" I heard, turning around I saw the unforgettable blonde hair, and purple outfit of Mai Valentine. My eyes flashed to the side as I saw Joeys mouth fall to the floor. "Wow."
"So your that Yugi kid. The one everyone is talking about. I am amazed a squirt like you, could beat Kaiba. Your famous you know." Mai said looking at him.
"Thanks very much, I think." Yugi stuttered.
"Hi miss, I'm ow," Joey started trying to act cool, but I stepped on his foot hard.
"Shut up Joey. Sorry about him. I'm Tea, this is Tristan, and Joey." I said stepping forward before he got crushed by her. "Please to meet you. Be carfully about the boys you hang out with. You need girl talk come find me, you remind me of an old friend of mine." Mia said. She starts to walk away, but turns and says "by the way my names Mai." She winks then goes inside.
'One thing I mainly miss about being Kaylian is my friends.' We all look at each other then walk inside.
Inside the boat.
"You have to have better rooms than this. This is a luxury cruise." Joey said to one of Pegasus's goons. "Calm down sir." One of them said. I just rolled my eyes. Out of the corner of my I saw the terrible two appear. Rex and Weevil. "Hey aren't you that kid Yugi." Weevil said staring at Yugi.
"Yeah and you're…" Yugi started but Joey interrupted.
"Weevil and Rex the Dino duellist." Joey said.
"You're wasting your time, the best rooms go to the winners of the last tournament like us." Rex said smirking.
"Congratulations on winning the regional's Weevil." Yugi said walking toward them. 'Please don't boost his already huge ego Yugi' I thought.
"It was nothing." Weevil said.
"Yeah, I went easy on him." Rex said "But this time one is mine."
"Well sorry to contradict you but this one is Yugi and I's" Joey said. I just sighed at that.
"To tell you the truth, I don't think I can really call myself champion till I've beaten the duellist, who defeated Kaiba. So I'm sure we will duel sometime in this tournament Yugi." Weevil said looking at him a evil glint in his eye. "Yeah I'm looking forward to it." Yugi answered.
"Well I'm looking forward to some Dino demolition." Rex said
"As always," I said under my breath.
"Let me tell you a little secret about the games. Something no one knows yet." Weevil whispered stepping forward. "Isn't that cheating?" Yugi asked a confused look in his eye. "Everyone else will find out soon enough. There are new rules on the island rules that require more strategy." Weevil whispered.
"Rules are for wimps; in this game you either smash your opponent or get smashed yourself. It's one or the other."Rex said.
"Strengths is good, but you need to combine your monsters with other types of cards." Joey said I smiled. 'He's defiantly come on.'
Rex just frowned, "who asked you, just stay out of my way. Or I'll stomp you like everyone else." Then he turned and walked away.
"Why I..." Joey started, but I didn't want to hear it so I turned and walked away.
Somewhere else on the Boat
"…without even a shower." I heard the unmistakable voice of Mai say.
"Sorry miss, but rules are rules." He said.
"Get you superior on the phone right now." Mia shouted, and wouldn't be surprised if the whole boat heard. "Keep that up and they'll throw up off the boat." Rex said rounding the corner.
"And you are?" Mai asked him, Pegasus's man quickly left.
"A champion with a luxury suite." Rex said smirking.
"Really, can I see it?" Mia said giggling.
'Such a flirt Mai like always.' I thought leaving before I saw anything else.
I walked outside again needing some fresh air. 'Why must my life revolve around duel monster? Some way or another it has always been there. Cards or not.' I thought. 'We all have a reason for living. You know yours so you know why you have that link.' One of my sprits said. 'Quick malady, go, hide someone's coming and I'm getting a very dark energy off them.' Another one of sprits said. I quickly ran and hid behind a crate, just in time to see Bakura. "What's Bakura doing here?" I asked myself. I shrugged.
Stood up and walked to the other side of the ship. I turn the corner, just in time to see Yugi and Joey talking. "Hi boys what you doing?" I said coming up to them.
"Looking at cards, check them out." Joey said showing me his new cards. I looked through them till I saw Time Wizard. "Yugi isn't Time Wizard yours?" I asked handing the cards back to Joey. "Yeah, but it will be more use in his deck than mine." Yugi said, smiling.
"Hello, you three. Doesn't the evening wind feel great?" Weevil said, coming out of the ship and looking over the rail. "So you trade for any good cards Yugi?" he asked.
"No, I'm duelling with the cards I brought along with me." Yugi said, putting his hand on a golden box with the millennium eye and hieroglyphics on it.
"I guessed you would. You used the Exodia cards to defeat Kaiba didn't you. Those cards so powerful, so rare and nearly impossible to summon. Would it be alright if I saw those cards?" Weevil asked. His glasses flashing in the unnatural light. "I don't see why not, just be careful." Yugi said. He open the Egyptian box, and took out five cards. "Here you go." Yugi said handing them over.
"So these are the legendary cards to summon Exodia, I have tried to come up with many different strategies to defeat these card. None have worked, up till now." Weevil laughed, then he walked over the edge of the ship, and threw the cards over board. "Now no one can beat me." Weevil laughed, hands in pockets walking off. "No!" Yugi shouted run over to the side. Before I could say anything Joey ran past me jumping in to the sea, after the cards. I knew I should stay and help, but I was too angry, so I just add to run after Weevil.
"Weevil!" I shouted pushing him in to one of the ships unused rooms. "You jerk; you can't come up with a strategy of your own so you go a ruin Yugi's deck." I said giving him a heated glare. He just laughed "I have to be the best, and if Yugi is a real duellist he should have other strategies, that he can use."
"Yugi will still beat you on the island. Unless your knocked out first. But I promise you. You will never make it to the finals!" I said through gritted teeth. I pushed him against the wall and stormed out. Once I was out I took a deep breath to calm me down. I then heard Mai's voice shout "Get out loser and thanks for the room Rex." Mai then saw me winked and closed the door. I just laughed, before remembering Joey in the water, and ran back out to where they were when I left. When I saw them again Tristan was helping them on to the ship. "Where'd you get to Tea." Tristan asked as I appeared.
"Just had to deal with something." I said
"I'm sorry Yugi." I heard Joey say. He was sitting on his knees.
"Huh?" Yugi said looking at him.
"I failed. I only got to of your cards." Joey said holding up two cards.
"It's ok Joey. I'm just glad you're safe." Yugi said, as I put my hand on Joeys shoulder. "It's not ok. I can never help anybody. I couldn't get your cards and I can't help my sister, Serenity." He said looking down. It may have just been the salt water but he looked like he was crying.
"Really you have a sister?" I asked.
"Our parents divorced years ago. She lives far away with my mother. My sister's eye site has never been great, and she is going to go blind. The problem is I can't pay the type of money, she need for it. That is why I need to win for her. It's the only way." Joey said a desperate look in his eye.
"I'm sorry." Yugi said, and I just wrapped my arms around him bringing him in to a hug. 'It's so sad.' I thought. "We will win this together." I said.
"Yeah, we will win it together. You for your sister and me for my grandpa." Yugi said looking out to sea. "Guys look, it's that?" Tristan asked.
"Yea Tristan, that's duellist kingdom." I told them.
Duellist Kingdom
"This place looks huge; this isn't going to be easy." Joey said, looking out on to the island. "Well we got to start somewhere." Yugi replied.
"I bet he's with Pegasus." I said, looking over to Yugi. He nodded, turning his head, smiling. I smiled back and looked out, the wind blowing my hair back.
The anchor dropped, and we made are way down, off the boat, and on to Duellist Kingdom pier. "Check out the suits." Joey said, looking around at all the men in Grey, black suits. "Tea are you sure this is alright?" Tristan asked me, getting right up in my face. "For the final time yes. Also Tristan, personal space."
"I'm ready to kick some duellist but." I heard Joey shout as we walked over to him. "Achoo!" Joey sneezed.
"Gross!" I said jumping to the side.
"You would never have caught the cold if it wasn't for Weevil" Yugi stated.
"Don't worry he'll get what's coming to him. Trust me." I said looking over at Weevil as he left the boat.
"Duellist, follow the stairs, to meet your host." One of the suits said.
"That has to be where Pegasus is." Yugi said, out loud, but you could tell it was to himself. "Then let's not waste any time." Joey said run forward.
"He's going to tire out pretty quickly at this rate." I laughed, along with Yugi and Tristan, as we started up the steps. I started looking around 'this is a beautiful island' I thought. I looked off in to the think green trees, to see a mob of white hair. "Huh," I said out loud.
"What you see Tea?" Tristan asked.
"I thought I saw Bakura." I said looking at him.
"Bakura? From school?" Yugi asked. I nodded. Looking, back only to see that he had disappeared. "That's the second time I've seen him." I said, looking to see if I could see him behind one of the trees. "Come on, we're on a rescue mission, remember." Tristan said, continuing up the stairs with the others. I looked again, and saw Bakura looking at me, and then he turned around and went back in to the trees. When we arrived at the castle you could hear the newbie's talking about all the big time duellists.
"Look there's Weevil Underwood, the regional champion."
"And that's Rex Raptor, the runner up."
"And Mako Tsunami, he placed third." Was heard going around.
"Yeah these are the best, but where's the world champion Kaiba?" someone asked.
"Didn't you hear some kid beat him. On his own turf too."
"But, isn't he the best?" another kid said
"No some kid called Yugi's the one to beat now."
"Kaiba wasn't the best any way." I boy who looked about a year or two older than me, in a red hat said catching my attention.
Someone else quickly stepped forward," yeah, was." The same boy just replied "No, Kaylian Paris is the world champ. And the rumour is, she isn't duelling, but is on the island."
"No way!" someone said. I looked up to see Mai, Weevil, Rex and Mako looking at the red hat boy, their eyes wide, their mouths open in shock.
"Pegasus!" I growled under my breath.
Joey interrupted my thoughts by saying "Who's Kaylian Paris?"
"And you call yourself a duellist." Rex said stepping forward.
"Only nobodies doesn't know who she is." Weevil said next.
"She's the world greatest duellist. She's never been beat." Mai said smiling.
"Then why isn't she here?" Joey said crossing his arms over his chest. For a second I thought he was going stick his tong out. "She stopped duelling about a year ago. No one knows why." Mai said turning round and walking off.
"Attention duellists please listen to your great host." Komo said.
"Just wait Pegasus, you'll get it. Right guys?" Joey spit out.
Just then 'he' stepped out. Sliver grey hair falling down to his shoulders, one eye covered, red suit perfectly creased. "Greetings duellists!" he boomed out. "I am Maximillion Pegasus. It is my pleasure to welcome you to duellist kingdom. You are some of the greatest duellists in the world. But only one of you will be able to win and be crowned the King of Games."
'Just remember Pegasus, I could beat anyone here including you.' I thought, my angry flaring, as he continued.
"I advise you to create your deck with care, creativity, skill and cunning. For in this competition your skills will be put to the limit. To track you, you have all been given a duelling glove, and two star chips. You must wager these star chips in each duel. To reach the final and to have a chance at the three million pound prize money you will need ten star chips. Ten star chips will allow you admission in to my castle, where you can face me in one final duel." He held up the duel glove and gold star chips for every on to see. "Grandpa must be in there." Yugi whispered to me, a frown on his face.
"Yugi you have to win your way in. It's too heavily guarded." I whispered back, not looking at him, but at Pegasus glaring in to the one eye I could see. 'If looks could kill' I thought.
"This will be different from anything you have ever competed in. New duelling arena's cover the island. And new rules will be in effect. I could tell you, but where's the fun in that. You will come to understand them as you play, or you won't last very long. All of you have many different reasons for duelling. Some want the money, some fame, others to help out a poor old family member or some even to keep a promise made many, many years ago. So remember, play boldly, think strategically and duel miraculously. You have one hour to prepare. When the fireworks start, so do the duels." He finished. He lifted his hand waved to us all, turned on the spot and walked back in to the castle.
I looked over to Yugi to see a determined look on his face. Lots of duellist started to leave, us with them. "I can't wait to start kick these duellist down!" Joey shouted. Tristan, Yugi and I just laughed. I looked ahead up the path to see the evil gold rimed glass glint in the sun light. "Weevil," was all I had to say to say to get the gang to look forward. I heard him laugh, point with him fingers indicating for us to follow. I knew it was a trap, but sometimes you just have to fall in to them. He then ran off, and before I could say anything the boys where running after him. After about five minutes of running, we came to a duel arena. "Ah hello Yugi so are you ready for our duel?" Weevil said laughing. "Bring it on Weevil." Yugi replied stepping forward. "I will make you regret what you did." A gold light surrounded him and Yami appeared.
Weevil looked a little floundered, but stood his ground. "As you only have one star chip Yugi I will knock you out."
"How about this we play for all, my one star chip for your two, and if you win I'll throw in my deck." Yami said, holding them up.
"Yugi no!" I shouted.
"I accept." Weevil agreed. They headed to their different sides of the duelling arena. "Isn't that Weevil Underwood?" some kid asked ask as people arrived to watch. "Yeah, but who is he duelling?" another asked.
"That's Yugi Moto. He is the one who beat Kaiba. Let's see if that was all luck." Someone else said. "Should be interesting." I heard a voice from behind me say I turned round to see Mai. "Let's duel!" I heard Yami and Weevil shout.
'Please be alright." I thought as the fireworks went off.
That chapter 3. I know some of my characters are OOC, but it's my story. It's not as important yet, but do give me some insight on who you want Tea to be with. Tea/Seto Kaiba or Tea/Yami Yugi (Atem). There will be a bit of both throughout the story, but it does affect some bits and the ending, but that's a long way off. Thanks to everyone.
