Yu-gi-oh Z

Episode 4:

"What?"

Yami Yugi: Previously on Yu-gi-oh Z:

Annoying Announcer guy: Ishizu receives a message from her brothers concerning the shadow games. Also will Atemu and his magicians find King Kai's planet?

Yami Yugi: Can Joey and Tristan out eat Goku at an all-you-can-eat buffet?

AAG: Find out today on

YY: Yu-Gi-Oh Z!

Goku's eyes sparkled in intense joy at the sight of all the food around him. The fight he had with Vegeta sapped his energy.

"Wow!" he gasped, images of him stuffing his face with all of the food, poured through his mind. He wiped off a small bit of saliva from his lips.

Joey and Tristan had the same idea. Chuckling they dragged Seto Kaiba and Vegeta to the cashier and forced them to pay. Vegeta gave Bulma a pained sneer.

"Vegeta, I agree with Mai, you will pay for us." She said, a smirk in her eyes. Vegeta hissed at her.

"You did kill Pegasus, that's no small favor." Seto said. He shot mental daggers at Mai and Bulma.

Goku, cheerful and innocent as always, clapped Vegeta on the back.

"Don't worry Vegeta, think of all the food we'll have. It'll be great."

Vegeta glared at Goku,

"Kakarrot, there are more important things than food." He roared. "Stop thinking with your stomach for once."

"Hey man," Tristan said, looking at Vegeta, "Relax. The only thing anyone has to worry about, is whether Joey and I can beat Goku at the contest."

"Yeah!" Joey agreed.

"Whatever." Vegeta snapped, sending both boys a look that could kill.

Seto had set a few 100,000,000 yen bills on the counter.

"That should cover the cost." He muttered to the excited waitress.

She giggled, taking the money.

"Have a nice time."

Vegeta wished that she were dead.

The group staked out a few tables. The contestants had the largest table to themselves, as did Seto and Vegeta. Mokuba gave his brother tearful looks, while sitting with Yugi, Krillin, and Gohan. The girls had a table to themselves.

Goku chuckled as he led the way to the buffet tables. He piled on different kinds of food.

How heavy is that? Tristan couldn't help but wonder as he saw the mountain that Goku carried effortlessly. His plate was filled with similar types of food, but not nearly as high.

Mai passed out when she saw Goku's mountain.

"That knucklehead has his work cut out for him." She faintly chuckled before unconsciousness claimed her.

"Mai, Mai, are you ok?" Tea asked, shaking her.

Mai revived a few minutes later. Goku was only one third of the way through the mountain.

Joey looked at Tristan, "We'd have a chance if we teamed up." He said.

Tristan nodded.

Goku didn't hear the interchange, as he quickly finished the mountain and went back for seconds.

He set the plate down and Tristan and Joey leapt up to get seconds.

AAG: While our heroes watched Joey, Tristan, and Goku chow down, On Snake Way Atemu noticed a small planet high above.

"That must be it." He said. Mana and Mahado nodded.

From his planet King Kai could sense the three travelers approaching. Bubbles the monkey chortled (A/N: how do you describe the sound monkeys make?)

"Bubbles, three more visitors. Yeah, but they don't know why they're here." King Kai said, his antennae pointing to Snake Way.

Atemu nodded, clasping his magicians' hands with his. The Eye of Horus appeared on each of their foreheads, granting them enough power to reach the small planetoid.

"Itai." Mana squeaked as they landed face first on the ground. (A/N: think InuYasha when Kagome tells him "Oswari" or "SIT") She tried to move her head up, but it felt like she was building the pyramids.

King Kai chuckles, seeing the Pharaoh and magicians face down before him. Atemu struggles to get up.

"Who are you?" he asked, standing up. "And where are we?"

"I'm King Kai. I'll explain why you're here later on."

YY: While Atemu and the magicians meet King Kai, our heroes are watching with sickened expressions as

Goku looks up from his plate.

"Hey, Joey, Tristan, where are you?" he asks.

Joey was still stuffing his face. He waves a hand to let Goku know that he's alive. Tristan lay passed out under the table.

Tea's cell phone rings.

"Moshii Moshii."

"Tea? This is Ishizu, Is Yugi there?"

Tea nods, and then throws the phone to Yugi who catches it.

"This is Yugi Motou."

"Yugi, I need you to come to the museum, it's a matter of grave importance."

"What's wrong?" Yugi asked.

"That can be explained at the museum, please hurry." Ishizu said, before disconnecting.

"Yugi, what's wrong?" Tea asked.

Yugi shook his head, "We need to go to the museum." He replied.

Joey ran to the bathroom, "I think I'm going to be sick."

Tristan revived. "Goku… wins…" he said before joining Joey in the bathroom.

Mai glared at Kaiba,

"You two jerks, stay here. Ishizu wants to talk to us at the museum." She hissed.

"Can I kill her for you?" Vegeta asked.

Kaiba shook his head,

"No, later." He said, "Ishizu is probably going to say something about Egyptian Fairytales. That's all she talks about. She has corrupted Mokuba."

Vegeta scoffed. He really couldn't careless about Ishizu, much less Seto Kaiba.

AAG: At the museum Ishizu Ishtar was worriedly looking over the stone tablet Marik had discovered, hoping to decipher another, less urgent, less dangerous message.

"Ishizu, how long are you going to read that stone?" Piccolo asked coming up behind her.

She gasped, "I hope that the world can be saved. Right now, without the Pharaoh, we have no hope."

Piccolo shook his head, "I'll start my training." He said, pulling her into a hug. She looked up at him, "Piccolo, you'll have to train in Duel Monsters as well." She said her soft voice flecked with worry.

He kissed her head, "It'll be ok."

"Piccolo? What are you doing here?" Goku asked following Yugi & co.

"Ishizu is worried about some doomsday prophesy. She's been reading it for some time now." Piccolo replied, still holding Ishizu's hand.

Doomsday prophesy? Yugi thought "What doomsday prophesy?" he asked.

Ishizu spoke in lower tones. "Yugi, we made a mistake." She replied.

I haven't seen her since we sealed Atemu into the Afterlife, Yugi thought

"What mistake?" Tea asked.

Ishizu shook her head sadly, "We need to bring him back." She replied.

Tea swallowed down a sob. "The Pharaoh?" she asked

"Yes, but we need to bring him back soon, or else the shadow games will begin again."

"What does the tablet say Ishizu?" Tristan asked,

Five thousand and one hundred years after the pharaoh sealed himself inside the Millennium Puzzle, he will return to the afterlife with his queen. If he returns alone before the appointed time, two years later the shadow games will begin once more. Ishizu read.

"So, in other words, without Atemu we're toast." Joey spoke up.

"Either that or send me to the afterlife." Tea replied.

"No, I killed Mou Hitori no Boku by dueling him, I don't want to lose you too, Tea." Yugi cried.

"I have had the feeling that I am Atemu's queen." Tea said suddenly. "Yugi, if I have to go to the afterlife myself to save the world, then so be it."

"Tea! That's crazy talk." Joey said angrily. "You can't die! We won't let you."

"Then we'll find a way to bring him back, we can't lose another member of the gang." Tristan cried. "Tea, Yugi, you two were closer to Atemu than the rest of us."

Tea nodded, tears starting to run down her cheeks. "Then we need the Dragonballs."

"It's the only way." Yugi added, taking Tea's hand in his. "To save the world and heal Tea's heart."

Tea gave her best friend a silent Thanks

"Anytime." Yugi whispered, "besides, I think he loves you too."

"I hope this works." Tea replied.

Yugi nodded. "Me too."

The dragonballs are scattered all over the world. Goku used them last year to bring back King Kai's planet, no one knows where they are. heh heh heh. Piccolo thought. "I've got to go, Ishizu, I'll be back later." Piccolo said, giving Ishizu a quick kiss on the cheek.

Ishizu blushed as the Namekian did this. Gohan and Goku, Yugi and Tea were shocked.

Ishizu noticed their expressions and chuckled. "I'll explain later." She answered.

AAG: Meanwhile on King Kai's planet…

"You three must pass… the test." King Kai commanded, looking each one of his future students in the eyes.

Atemu eyed him warily, "What test?" he asked.

"I'm familiar with your gaming prowess, it's as good as Goku's skill in battle, so come on, King of Games, make me laugh." King Kai replied, daring him.

Mana couldn't contain herself. "That's it?" she asked giggling.

"In order for me to train you, you must make me laugh at one of your jokes."

Mahado was as serious as Atemu, "Mana, we each must make him laugh." He said. "I don't know if we'll get off of this moon."

"You could go back to Egyptian Afterlife if you like." King Kai replied. "I won't train you, much less answer your questions, if you don't make me laugh."

The Dark Magician sighed, imagining Yugi's reaction, "Duel I have to?" he asked.

King Kai turned his back on him; but the Magician could tell that the king was laughing hysterically.

"Duel I have to?" he cried between peals of laughter. "You pass. Mahado."

Mahado chuckled

He idly watched as Atemu tried to make him laugh. Mana chuckled,

"Pharaoh, DeNile isn't a river you can stay in forever."

Mahado shook his head as King Kai rolled uncontrollably in the grass in a fit of laughter.

"Think of this as a duel, my Pharaoh, you just have to play the correct card and you'll win."

Mahado said, hoping that Atemu would catch on.

Play the correct card? Atemu thought,

"What do you call the study of Duel Monsters?" he asked.

(A/N: Atemu has told Mahado & Mana about the future of Duel Monsters.)

King Kai shook his head, "What?"

"Card-I-ology" the Pharaoh replied.

King Kai nearly had a heart attack he was laughing so hard.

"You three pass!" he cried, rolling on the ground like a child in a fit of hilarious laughter.

After he had calmed down, King Kai spoke again "Now, I know you've been dying to know…" he started chuckling again "Dying, get it?" he asked.

Atemu sweatdropped.

"… is why you three were summoned here. I'll tell you," King Kai's voice grew serious "There is great evil approaching Earth, I've never sensed anything like it before. It's dark and sinister, the Saiyans were pussycats compared to this. It's because, you, Atemu, were sent alone and 100 years to early to the Afterlife."

Atemu's eyes grew wide, "The Shadow Games?" he gasped. "I caused their return?"

Mana and Mahado grasped each other's hands tightly.

"There has to be a way to stop them, right?" Mana asked.

"Yes." King Kai replied "but it won't be easy."

YY: meanwhile in the Kame House on Master Roshi's island

Tea, Yugi, Joey, Tristan, Mai, Ishizu & the Kaiba brothers sat listening to Master Roshi.

"It'll be dangerous, the dragonballs are scattered all over the world." The Turtle Hermit said.

"So what?" Seto sneered, "I could find them in my sleep, what can seven magical tennis balls do anyway?" This nut is crazier than Ishizu with her Egyptian Fairy tales. I don't need this! We have to help the cheerleader get her dead royal boyfriend back, because why? Some shadow games Mokuba told me about. The So-called Pharaoh was supposed to have sealed them away for all eternity. He thought, waving Master Roshi off.

"Seto," Mokuba hissed resisting the urge to strangle his brother, "Weren't you listening? We need the dragonballs to wish Atemu back from the dead, or else the world will be crazier than it was during our Battle City tournament."

Master Roshi shook his head, "Mokuba, let him believe what he wants, but after the seven balls are brought together and the wish has been granted, he'll come around."

We can't let this beauty's heart stay broken. He added silently gazing at Tea.

Bulma, who had been sitting next to Krillin, smacked him.

"Stop that, Roshi!" she hissed.

"Bulma, can't you let an old hermit like me have a little fun?" he asked

She smacked him again, he landed face first into the pillows.

"Tea & Yugi and their friends have asked us for help. We don't need you eyeing the girls like they are prizes you want to win. So be nice." Bulma said venom dripping in her voice.

"Okay, Okay, Bulma, don't kill me, I want to help." Master Roshi pleaded, Bulma kept his face in the pillows. "Roshi, if you stop looking at Tea like that, I'll let you up."

His reply was muffled "Okay, I'll stop."

"Good."

"But the other girls, they …" he whispered to himself.

An infuriated Seto Kaiba left.

"Good, now dat rich boy's finally outta here we can start planning." Joey said.

YY: So what are our heroes planning? And will they find all of the Dragonballs in time?

AAG: Find out Next time on
