Yugi and Duelling

(The four Warriors, Yugi, Joey and Mai came to a small shop which a poster was sitting on.)

Yugi: Oh right, that's the poster for the second Battle City Tournament. And take a look at the prize.

(Along with a cauldron of prize money, a silver stone with ancient looking symbols on it was too offered as the first place prize. Dojo inspected it.)

Dojo: That's it! That's the ancient artefact!

Raimundo: No way! What a coincidence.

Yugi: Is this why you're here at Battle City?

Omi: Oh yes, Yugi. Once you have taught us the ancient game of Duelling, we shall teach you of our quest.

(The seven entered the shop and an old man put away a paper to meet them.)

Yugi: Hey grandpa. If you don't mind I'll be teaching these four how to duel.

Grandpa: How interesting. I suspect they will be entering the Battle City Tournament?

Raimundo: You betcha! Bring it on!

Grandpa: Now don't jump the gun, Duelling is a difficult game.

Yugi: So let's get started. Let's see where to begin?

Joey: Try the basics?

Yugi: Oh right! What the aim of the game is about: two or more players need to use a variety of cards called Duel Monsters, in order to lower the opponent's life points to zero to win.

Kimiko: Uh huh. Makes sense so far.

(Yugi carefully explained the rules and boundaries of the "Ancient art of Duelling" with the help of Joey, Mai and his grandpa.)

Omi: So, there are five types of cards. Monsters, Magic, Trap, Fusion and Ritual?

Joey: But some Monsters have special abilities that turn the tables in a Duel.

Raimundo: You are allowed to summon one Monster, unless it's a special summon? And you can activate any amount of magic cards?

Mai: Yep, but Trap cards need to be laid face down and need to be triggered to come into effect.

(Yugi had finished all the rules.)

Omi: A most game, I cannot wait to begin!

Yugi: Well first you need a Duelling Deck. Grandpa? Care to do so?

Grandpa: Of course, Omi, step forward.

(Omi walked a step to Grandpa, he examined his eyes carefully.)

Grandpa: Surely. (He took out a duel deck and handed it to Omi.) Use this deck; it's filled with Spellcaster types and good magic cards. It's perfect for your type. Ms. Tohomiko, step forward.

(Kimiko stepped forward and Grandpa too examined her and pulled out a Deck and handed her it.)

Grandpa: This deck has Light monsters; both Fairy and Spellcasters rule this deck. Plus trap cards beyond measure. Mr. Bailey? Proceed.

(Clay stepped forward, doing the same technique as before, he handed Clay a deck as well.)

Grandpa: This deck is full of Monsters of high attack power. But don't go offensive without the defensive.

Clay: Much obliged, Sir.

Grandpa: And finally, Mr. Pedrosa.

(Raimundo stepped forward and Grandpa did the same thing and handed him another deck.)

Grandpa: This deck is full of Warrior Type cards. Plus I'll let you figure out a secret of this deck.

Raimundo: Whoa, thanks, dude!

Yugi: Does anyone want a quick training match?

Kimiko: I'm in!

(Grandpa brought out a board which the two competitors put down their decks on the designated spot.)

Kimiko and Yugi: Let's Duel!

(They set their counters to 4000 life points and both drew five cards.)

Yugi: I'll go first. (Drew a card.) I summon Alpha the Magnet Warrior in defence position.

(He laid down a card sideways.)

Yugi: And I play one card face down. And end my turn.

Kimiko: Let's see. (Drew a card.) I activate Pot of Greed, to draw two more cards.

Clay: Whew, way to go, Kimiko!

Kimiko: And I play Mystical Elf in defence position! And I place three cards face down and end my turn!

Yugi: My turn! (Drew a card.) And I summon Celtic Guardian to the field in attack position. And I equip him with Axe of Despair to increase his attack points to 2400.

(Kimiko gasped.)

Yugi: Now attack Kimiko's Mystical Elf!

Kimiko: Not so fast! I activate Negate Attack!

Joey: Sly fox!

Yugi: Nice move, Kimiko. I guess I'll end my turn.

Clay: But how's Kimiko gonna come back from a Monster with 2400 attack points?

Kimiko: I'll tell yah why, I activate Mystical Space Typhoon, to destroy your Axe of Despair, lowering Celtic Guardian to 1400. And now I sacrifice Mystical Elf, to summon Dark Magician Girl!

Yugi: Good card to use, even I sometimes use her.

Kimiko: Now Dark Magician Girl, attack Celtic Guardian!

(The card destroyed Yugi's Monster, taking away 600 life points, leaving him with 3400.

Grandpa: I knew adding that card would be good.

Joey: come on, Yug! Don't lose to her!

Yugi: I place one Monster card face down and end my turn!

Kimiko: Okay, first I activate Tribute to the Doomed! By discarding one card from my hand, I can destroy Alpha the Magnet Warrior!

(Yugi put Alpha into the Graveyard.)

Kimiko: Now, Dark Magician Girl! Attack the face-down card!

(Yugi revealed it to be Cyber Jar; she gave a yelp as it entered the graveyard.)

Joey: Hahaha! Way tah come back, Yug!

Yugi: I'm afraid your Dark Magician Girl's destroyed. But we draw five cards and we set down any four star or lower cards.

(They both picked five up, Kimiko put down Water Omotics in attack and Petit Angel in defence. Yugi however put down Alpha the Magnet Warrior again in defence, Kuriboh in defence, Queen's Knight in Defence and King's Knight in attack, (Meaning he could summon Jack's Knight.)

Kimiko: Slick move, I'll end my turn.

Yugi: Sorry Kimiko. But I sacrifice my Jack's Knight, my Queen's Knight and my King's Knight in order to summon Slifer the Sky Dragon!

Joey: Hahahaha! She's finished now! Take her down, Yug!

Raimundo: What's special about that card?

Yugi: For every card in my hand Slifer increases his strength by 1000 points. And I have six.

(The Warriors gasped, Water Omotics was left wide open.)

Yugi: Slifer the Sky Dragon, attack Water Omotics!

(The card took out 4600 life points and defeating Kimiko.)

Kimiko: Ouch, I lost.

Yugi: Don't worry about it, Kimiko. You had me worried when you summoned Dark Magician Girl.

Omi: Your skills are most amazing, how is that card most powerful?

Yugi: It's called an Egyptian God Card, it's one of the most powerful cards in the game, I used to have all three, but someone stole the other two.

Clay: Who in tar nation would do that!

Yugi: I don't know.

Omi: Do you think we will be prepared for the upcoming tournament?

Joey: Yeah, your gonna need some practice though.

Mai: And we're the people to do so!

(The Warriors practiced all day, eventually Raimundo beat Joey and they were all classified ready.)

Mai: Clay, I must admit, you could possibly take down Kaiba himself.

Clay: Well thanks, miss.

Raimundo: So what now? How do we enter?

Yugi: Come on, I'll show you.

(Yugi walked out the shop and took then to a smaller shop, the seven entered and approached the desk. The man stopped typing on his computer to help the seven.)

Man: Can I help you?

Yugi: The seven of us like to participate in the Battle City Tournament.

Man: Okay, I'll take your name and deck.

(Yugi handed him his deck.)

Yugi: Yugi Muto.

Man: Rarest card: Slifer the Sky Dragon, deck level 5 stars. You're in.

(He handed him a silver platform thing. Joey approached and handed him his deck.)

Joey: Joey Wheeler.

Man: Rarest card: Red Eyes Black Dragon, deck level 4 stars. You're in.

(He too got handed a silver platform. Mai approached next.)

Mai: Mai Valentine.

Man: Rarest card: Harpie's Feather Duster, deck level 4 stars. You're in.

(She too got a platform. Clay approached next.)

Clay: Clay Bailey, partner.

Man: Rarest card: Seiyaru, deck level 3.5 stars. You're in.

(Clay got a platform, inspecting it unusually. Raimundo went next.)

Raimundo: Raimundo Pedrosa.

Man: Rarest card: Sword Hunter, deck level 4.5 stars. You're in.

(Raimundo got handed a platform too. Then Kimiko stepped forward.)

Kimiko: Er… Kimiko Tohomiko.

Man: Rarest card: Dark Magician Girl, deck level 4 stars. You're in.

(She too got handed a platform, which see confusingly examined, then Omi stepped forward.)

Omi: Omi.

Man: Last name?

Raimundo: Er … he's my little brother, Omi Pedrosa.

(Kimiko and Omi looked bewildered.)

Man: Okay. Rarest card: Dark Magician. Deck level 5 stars. You're in.

(He too got handed a silver platform.)

Man: And here are your locator cards.

(He handed each of them one silver disk.)

Man: Collect six and find the Battle City finals. Good luck.

(They walked out the shop and Kimiko started teasing Raimundo.)

Kimiko: I never knew you and Omi were brothers.

Raimundo: Hey, he didn't know his last name, didn't want him left out of the tournament.

Yugi: Well you really took one for your team.

Clay: So what're these platform thingies?

Joey: They're Duel Disks, just slide them onto your wrist, and you can play Duel Monsters anywhere in the city.

Mai: But it might be a bit of a shock when you see what happens when you play a card down.

Omi: I am not scared of a little card game.

Joey: You will be.

Yugi: So what is your quest about?

Omi: We are Xiaolin Warriors, travelling the world, to find mystical artefacts, known as Shen Gong Wu.

Yugi: Interesting, was that stone in the prize supposed to be a Shen Gong Wu?

Raimundo: Nah, but from what I'm hearing, it's pure evil. That's why we need to enter this tournament, to stop it from destroying the world or something.

Yugi: Well, you'll sore by this tournament.

Raimundo: Thanks.

Kimiko: One more thing. Why did you help us in the first place? I mean you could have easily laughed in our faces and left us on our own, why didn't you?

Yugi: Well that's an interesting question. For some time now, I wanted to teach someone the art of duelling, I came to the tournament speech to see if anyone didn't know, and by chance, I heard you saying your confusion, so there you have it.

Raimundo: Thanks, dude.

Yugi: Well come on, it's getting late. You can stay at my place.

Kimiko: You sure, four is a big number.

Yugi: It's no problem; we have hundreds of spare rooms. And maybe you can take a test drive on that new Duel Disk?

Warriors: You're on!
