I don't own Digimon or Yu-Gi-Oh
Chapter Seven: Duel upon the High Seas
The group were now walking along the edge of the Duellist Kingdom and Joey was out in front of the group with a huge grin on his face.
"Ha, now I've got two starchips, I'm on my way to getting into that castle, and this card Daisuke gave me will help me a lot," He said with a grin looking down at his two starchips and his new Red Eyes Black Dragon card that Daisuke gave him and Tea sighed at his antics.
"Is there a time limit on how long he gets to celebrate?" She asked the rest of the group.
"Hey Tea come on let him, he did just beat Mai and she wasn't a rookie either," Tristan told her and Yugi and Daisuke nodded their heads agreeing with him.
"Yeah, it's not every day you beat a person in a duel with your nose," Daisuke said and Yugi nodded his head agreeing with the mahogany haired girl's statement.
"That's right, I'm proud of him," Yugi said and everyone nodded their heads when they heard a growl.
"What was that?" Tea asked in fear thinking it was an animal but Joey groaned and everyone looked over at him.
"My stomach, I think it's empty," Joey groaned as his stomach grumbled again, he then looked at the rest of the group, "Uh, you guys got any food?" He asked them and they all looked at him and shook their heads.
"Sorry Joey," Yugi said apologetically and once he said that Tea started to freak out.
"What you guys are telling me, nobody brought any food to eat on this island?!" She asked them and them all shook their heads at her. "This is bad, this is really bad, I need to have the five food groups or I'm going to go crazy," She said running in circles and everyone sweat dropped at her antics.
"Whoa calm down, I have the perfect solution," Tristan said and everyone looked at him to see him pull out a book that said outdoor survival, "This book has a list of all the edible roots and plants and berries we need to survive in the great outdoors," he said and everyone facefaulted or gagged.
"Do I look like a chipmunk you big doofus?" Joey asked him as Tristan flipped through the books pages
"Is that book edible?" Daisuke asked him and he fell over anime style, Joey groaned before he sniffed around and he ran off and everyone looked at him.
"Joey, where are you going?" Tea asked him.
"Food, I smell food this way!" He shouted and everyone looked at him.
"Has he gone mad?" Tea asked in surprise.
"You forget, it wasn't his head that he defeated Mai with, it was his nose," Tristan said standing up, "Hey wait for me!" Tristan called to Joey running after him and leaving Tea, Yugi and Daisuke in a cloud of dust.
"Should we follow them?" Daisuke asked them.
"Might as well, they are bound to get into all kinds of trouble," Tea sighed before she walked off after Joey and Joey and Daisuke and Yugi followed after her. Soon they caught up to Joey and Tristan who were sitting on the ground and eating fish they had found.
"Hey, about time you caught up," Joey waved to them with a half-eaten fish in his hand.
"Where did you get the fish?" Daisuke asked them.
"Oh we found them," Tristan told her.
"Guys, those probably belonged to somebody," Tea scolded them but Tristan and Joey kept eating the fish.
"We are going to get into trouble aren't we?" Daisuke asked Yugi who nodded his head agreeing with her.
"Hey hands off my fish!" A voice shouted and Joey and Tristan gulped and everyone looked around in search of where the voice came from.
"Who said that?" Yugi asked and everyone heard a grunt and they turned to see a tall buff and tanned man with blue spiky hair climb up over the cliff.
"How dare you eat my catch you fish thieves," He said as a wave crashed over him and he was dragged into the water.
"So can we eat now?" Tristan asked as the man dragged himself back up the cliff.
"Let's try that again, how dare you steal my fish you bottom feeders," He said.
"Whoa big guy take it easy, it's just a few stinky fish," Joey said.
"A few stinky fish that do not belong to you, and to steal a man's catch is proof that you hold no honour," He said shaking his fist that had a duelling glove on it.
"Hey you're a duellist," Daisuke said and he looked at her.
"And who might you be?" He asked her.
"Oh I am Daisuke Motomyia," She introduced herself.
"The Daisuke Motomyia, the one who defeat Rex Raptor?" He asked her and she nodded her head before she giggled.
"What?" He asked her.
"You've got a passenger," Daisuke said before she reached and pulled off an octopus that was on his head and she tossed it back into the water.
"Hey I was going to eat that," Joey said.
"Is he a duellist as well?" The man asked and Daisuke nodded her head.
"Yeah, and Yugi is as well," Daisuke introduced Yugi to the man.
"Yugi, as in the same Yugi Moto who defeated Seto Kaiba? Ha this is a surprise, I am Mako Tsunami, the top ranked ocean duellist, I would be happy to share my catch with you such fine duellists," The man now known as Mako said before he looked at Tea, Joey and Tristan. "I apologise I have been ungracious, if you are friends of Yugi Moto and Daisuke Motomyia, then eat your fill," Mako said as Joey and Tristan cheered before they dug into the fish again followed by the rest of the group.
"It's good," Daisuke said and the rest of her friends nodded their heads agreeing with her as Mako smirked at them.
"So what brings you here Mako?" Yugi asked him once everyone had finished eating their fill.
"I was raised upon the ocean ever since I was born, so if I win this tournament then I would love to own a vessel of my own, but to do so then I will need to beat a few duellists first," Mako said before he chuckled.
"You're own boat, wow that would be awesome," Daisuke said and Mako nodded his head agreeing with her before he looked back at the ocean behind him.
"Yes the ocean is magnificent, and it has shared a bond with me ever since it was born, I can tell when it is happy or angry by the way it sparkles or by the changes of the tide," Mako said before he chuckled "Forgive me I didn't mean to be so serious," he apologised.
"Hey no worries," Daisuke waved him off.
"Yeah, if we hadn't met you wed have been starving, thanks again," Joey said standing up and Mako looked at everyone.
"Leaving so soon?" He asked them.
"Yeah, later" Daisuke said as everyone walked away but Mako chuckled and he picked up his harpoon and threw it and it landed by Daisuke and Yugi's feet making them both hit the ground in shock, "What's the big idea, you could have hit us!" Daisuke shouted at Mako who chuckled.
"I treated you to dinner, now you will honour me with a duel," He told them.
"He is nuts," Joey said.
"No, but I am a master fisherman, and you have taken the bait," Mako chuckled.
"Bait?" Tea asked confused.
"The fish of course, I laid it out for you three to take, but I never expected to catch Yugi Moto or Daisuke Motomyia," Mako said.
"How do you even know me?" Daisuke asked him.
"The story going around the island is that you defeated Rex Raptor, the number two ranked duellist in the nationals and you won his best card, but I am not interested in fighting you, but Yugi is fair game," Mako said and Yugi's puzzle glowed brightly and he transformed.
"Mako Tsunami I accept your challenge," Yugi told him as waves crashed into the cliff and an arena rose up from the depths.
"Take a good look Yugi, we shall duel upon the high seas," Mako said and both he and Yugi took their positions on opposite sides. "The field is split in two, one half is water the other land, now let it begin," Mako said.
"Duel!" Both he and Yugi said and their lifepoints went up to 2000.
"Let us now see how you deal with my mighty denizens of the deep," Mako said and he put a monster down but nothing appeared.
"What, it's underwater!?" Yugi exclaimed in shock.
"This I don't like," Joey said in concern.
"The great ocean conceals many things," Mako said and Yugi growled.
"As long as that is underwater, Yugi is unable to attack," Daisuke said.
"I will have to set a strong defence if I am to survive this duel, I call upon the Horned Imp," Yugi said and a man with a horn on his head appeared on the field.
"Fiend Kraken, attack!" Mako shouted and several tentacles shot out of the water and wrapped around Yugi's monster and dragged him into the water.
"My Imp, you're good Mako a brilliant opening play," Yugi said as his lifepoints dropped to 1740.
"Appreciated but I doubt your Imp thought so," Mako said.
"Well I now know I'm up against a powerful monster," Yugi said.
"Yes the ocean commands respect, as do its creatures," Mako said.
"Maybe if I play a monster that can attack no matter what is hidden under the water," Yugi thought before he played a card, "Feral Imp," Yugi said and the familiar green imp appeared on the field.
"I know of your feral imp, and its electrical attacks so my next card is the Giant Jellyfish," Mako said as he played another monster that gave of a cry. "Here that, that is the cry of my monster," Mako said.
"That thing will be crying alright, once I combine my monster with the Horn of the Unicorn!" Yugi said as he played a card and the horn on his Imp grew longer and lightning arched from it and his Feral Imp got more real, "Go Magic Lightning attack!" Yugi shouted as his imp fired lightning into the water but nothing happened except for the water to bubble. "What? Your lifepoints remain the same, but how?" Yugi asked in shock as the water bubbled again as a giant jellyfish emerged from the water.
"As an ocean duellist I know about water conducting electricity, so I played my Giant Jellyfish, it can absorb all electrical attacks, now my Fiend Kraken finish his Imp!" Mako ordered and once again tentacles emerged and wrapped around Yugi's imp and destroyed it and Yugi's lifepoints dropped to 1480. "Do you have any monsters that can defeat my ocean creatures?" Mako asked Yugi who growled.
"I have Silver Fang, and I use the Full Moon card to double his ferocity," Yugi said as a moon appeared above the field and a silver wolf appeared as well before it howled.
"Ferocious indeed, but the moon controls the tides causing them to rise, allowing me to summon the mighty Kairyu-Shin, arise!" Mako said as he summoned another monster to the field and it rose out of the water.
"Whoa mama, that is a big fish!" Daisuke exclaimed in shock.
"Behold the colossal Kairyu-Shin, a monster so enormous it creates its own tidal wave, attack!" Mako said as his monster attacked with a tidal wave and Silver Fang was washed away. "Gone, but gone too is your field," Mako said and Yugi gasped when he saw he had only a small patch of land left.
"No almost my entire field is gone," Yugi said in shock.
"Do you see now, the awesome power of the sea, all mean give pause to the savagery of the sea, even the greatest of fisherman, like my father, one day while out on the sea a massive storm hit our boat, my father secured me to the mast but he was swept away, but when the storm past I noticed the lifeboat was missing, so I know he is alive, so I will win this contest then search the seven seas until I find him, that Is why I duel, that Is why I must win and you must lose," Mako said.
"I understand Mako, I do but I cannot let you win," Yugi said and Mako nodded his head. "Now I summon Giant Solider of Stone," Yugi said as a giant stone warrior appeared on the field.
"Your monster can hardly stand on that rock, he is perfect prey for my Great White Terror, this monster shall lead my other two in an all-out onslaught," Mako said as the three monsters surrounded the stone warrior, "It is over Yugi, but you played admirably," Mako said.
"You too Mako, but I too duel with a loved one at stake as does Daisuke, so I cannot lose now, I switch my stone solider to attack mode," Yugi said as his stone solider stood up tall and drew a sword.
"But why, he can't touch my monsters while they are under water," Mako said but Yugi chuckled.
"I am not after your monsters, Stone Soldier attack the moon!" Yugi ordered pointing at his moon and Mako gasped as the Giant Soldier of Stone attacked the moon and destroyed it and to everyone's shock the waters receded until none was left and Mako's three monsters were beached.
"No my monsters," Mako gasped in shock.
"This duel is over, I combine my Curse of Dragon card with the Burning Land card, allowing me to wipe you out," Yugi said as his dragon appeared on the field, "Burning Land attack!" Yugi said as his dragon blew a maelstrom at the field and destroyed Mako's monsters and Mako's lifepoints dropped to zero.
"Way to go!" Daisuke and Tea cheered as Joey and Tristan grinned.
"To destroy your own moon, a great move I salute you my friend," Mako said.
"Hey this wasn't an easy win, you're a great duelist yourself," Yugi said and Mako nodded his head.
"I am down to one Starchip, but I will start over," Mako said back on dry land.
"And I'd bet you would do great," Yugi said.
"You'd win that wager," Mako said with a smile as he shook Yugi's hand. His stomach then growled and he blushed before he laughed proudly. "Dueling you has made me hungry, time to fish again farewell!" Mako said as he dived back into the ocean.
"I wish he'd bring us some fish," Tristan said.
"We'd have to duel him again," Yugi said as everyone laughed and walked away.
"Hey no problem, we've still got Tristan's book," Daisuke said.
"Hey eat all the pages you like Dai," Joey said as everyone laughed happily as they walked away.
