Hello Fanfiction! It's time for the third chapter. This is the first Duel of the story. If you have read Show Expert 1's Digimon/Yu-gi-oh stories you know that Kari knows how to duel. Misty however does not so this will be a challenge any way Yugi will show up in the maze that was in the anime. Without further ado, (insert the Yu-gi-oh theme song's version of It's time to Duel). Bold Equals Change in attack points.

Chapter 3: A High Stakes Duel

(Virtual World: Penguin House)

"Who are you and what do you want from us anyway?" Asked Tea in an annoyed tone.

"Don't tell me you forgot our last meeting" said the sinister voice. Suddenly the sea of penguins dissolved and a much more muscular one appeared only this one was dark blue and was wearing a tuxedo. Tea was surprised.

"I Think I would remember you" she said.

"Look" said the penguin, "things are never what they appear to be here so when we met earlier I looked a bit different. Give up I'm one of the Big 5." Kari and Misty both were a little scared by this revelation. "The name's Crump," Former accountant of the Big Five, and head of the Personnel." Crump flipped behind the desk took a seat and took out a notepad and he flips a couple of papers before saying, According to this, there's a one hundred percent chance three of you will duel me."

"A Duel?" Tea, Kari, and Misty asked in Unison.

"Exactly," Crump nodded. "While Tea has dueled five times in her life which gives her a 1% chance of actually winning the duel. Kari has dueled 6 times in her life with also gives her a 1% chance of actually winning the duel. Misty has never dueled before so she is no threat."

"Hey" shouted Misty insulted. Crump ignored her and continued reading off his notes. "Kari Kamiya, good at sports however is dating a student who at best will contribute very little to society." Kari nearly had steam pouring out of her ears about Davis being insulted. Crump ignored this and con As for Tea she has eaten 216 slices of pizza."

Hey how do you know all this stuff about us birdbrain asked Tea angrily. "Collecting fact and figures is my job" retorted Crump. "You'd be surprised what numbers tell you about a person's life."

"Our lives are none of your business" said Kari in a furious tone. I'm going to have to disagree with you" said Crump. "I need to know all about you this way when I win this duel I'll be ready to become you."

"What" shouted Misty in a disgusted tone. "No Way!"

"My partners and I no longer have our own bodies" said Crump. "So that's why" Tea realized. "Yes that's why I've taken the form of a giant virtual penguin and come here to live here with my penguin brothers and sisters." The peguins in the room all cheered and clapped.

"Then why don't you stay here" said Misty angrily. "Because I need the real world" responded Crump, "and once I outduel the 3 of you here in my very own palace of ice I'll be able to return to the real world disguised as one of you."

"Listen to me Flipper Feet" said Tea "I have had enough of this so I am out here." With that the three girls ran out of the building.

"We'll see about" that Crump said chuckling evilly. "You can try to run away girls said Crump but the odds are against you." Tea, Misty, and Kari were running through a forest when suddenly the environment changed and all three girls slipped on ice.

"What's going on?" asked Tea. Suddenly the ice below three girls broke up and a pillar of ice large enough for the three girl to stand on rose up out of the water. "This can't be good" said Kari. "Gee you think" said Misty.

"Nice try" said Crump as he appeared on an ice pillar across from the three girls wearing a duel disk. "Looks like my iceberg dueling field is about to leave you cold." Suddenly duel disks appeared on Tea, Kari and Misty's right arms. Soon afterwards cards started scrolling in front of the three girls. "Before we start we have choose our cards from this card database" said Crump.

Kari told Misty to choose a balance of Monster, Magic and Trap cards. Soon all three had chosen there Decks. Tea created a mostly Spellcaster deck. Kari choose her deck from her duels with the Royal Knights and Drayden's Worlds Tournament. Misty created a deck full of Water Attribute Monsters.

"Okay" said Crump, "as per the new rules it's time to choose your Deck masters it can be any monster in your deck.

Kari choose first. My deck master is Angewomon. The ultimate level of Gatomon appeared next to her.

(Author's Note: Kind of Obvious who her deck master would be Right?)

Tea choose Dark Magician Girl for her deck master and Misty decided on Maiden of the Agua. "So what's your deck master?" asked Misty.

"I've already taken the form of a monster known Nightmare Penguin you fool" said Crump. "So I'm both the duelist and the deck master. Two threats in one, and once you three are put on ice, I'll be able to waddle my way to the real world."

"Guess again Crump" Said Tea, activating her duel disk. Misty, Kari, and Crump all followed suited and the 4 duel disks' life-point meters all read 4000. "It's time to duel Shorty" said Tea.

"Okay" said Crump "here is how the duel will go: Tea will go first followed by Kari, then I will go followed by Misty."

"Fine" said Tea." She took a look in her hand. "I Summon Ancient Elf to the field in defense mode and end my turn." Kari looked at her opening hand. "I summon Twilight Tiger in defense mode and end my turn."

Crump looked at his opening hand and smirked, I play two cards face down and summon Giant Red Seasnake.

(1800/800) → (2000/800)

"How did your Monsters points go up" asked a shocked Misty. Well my deck master ability increases the attack power of all Water monsters on my side of the dueling field. I end my turn."

"My Move" said Misty. "I activate my trap Damage Equalizer since this duel is 3 on 1 two people will share life points and I chose Tea and Kari" said Crump. I play Cost down to lower the level of the cards in my hand by 2 said Misty. "I summon Mobius the Frost Monarch" Its Special Ability destroys your face downs." "Not so fast" said Crump "I Activate Divine Wrath." "Oh No not that" said Kari. "Yes this card negates your monarch's ability Misty and destroys it." Crump discarded a card and Misty's monster exploded and she was defenseless. "Oh I forgot to mention something" said Crump Damage Equalizer has a second effect if you try to destroy it and fail one of my Monsters can attack you directly." The three girls gasped in horror. Attack mighty Seasnake." The monster attacked plowing into Misty and her life points dropped to 2000. Suddenly ice climbed Misty's body until half of it was covered. "What the?" shouted Misty. "Oops" said Crump I forgot to mention each time a person's life point decrease their bodies will be covered by a block of solid ice." Misty was shivering due to half of her body being frozen. "The Loser of this duel will be frozen here until the end of time" said Crump with an evil smirk. Tea and Kari glared at him annoyed that he was taunting Misty for her inexperience at the game.

(Virtual world; Canyon)

Ash and Pikachu were searching around where they had arrived for any sign of Misty when suddenly Ash heard her. "It's freezing. I cannot feel my toes." Realizing this Ash reached for his belt. "I choose you Charizard." Ash first fire type appeared with a roar. Before Ash could explain they heard Misty's voice say "You're not going to get away with this." Ash quickly climbed on to Charizard. "Can you find Misty by following the sound of her voice" Ash asked his friend. Charizard roared and took off. He wanted to help Ash save Misty two people who had saved his life not once but twice. Neither of them, (or Pikachu) noticed a Haunter place a 2 Stones and a ring into Ash's pocket. After this the Haunter floated over to a young Woman.

Cliff-Hanger Sorry to stop hear but it felt right to do it. I planned to have ash appear in between Misty and Crump saving her, but I thought of a better idea. If anyone can guess who appeared at the end and what she gave Ash (via Pm or Review) will get both a shout-out in the next chapter, and both the English and Japanese title for it (Yes I looked the Japanese names for the Pokemon Anime to get an idea) Anyway I look forward to the Guesses. Until next time Peace.
