Today was the beginning of the Battle City Tournament. Lilly was getting ready in her new outfit. It consisted of a black short sleeved top that stopped an inch under her breast, a red and blue short sleeved jacket, black short-shorts that had red trimmings, a belt that had the letters 'L. K.' on it, a red, black, and blue hat with the letters 'L. K.' on it, a tie with the letters 'L. K.' on it and some black wrist bands with her millennium bracelet. Her hair was straight down. The last thing she put on was some black converse.
'I hope I look okay,' she thought as she went to go look for the boys. She noticed that her younger brothers had left to get things ready and that her elder brother was waiting for her.
"There you are," he said to her.
"Do I look bad?" she asked as she spun around.
"Not at all," he said with a smile.
"Thanks big bro! You look good too!" she said with a smile and they left.
They got on a blimp and went to start the Tournament.
~ While in the air ~
'Time to have some fun!' thought Lilly excited. Seto sat on a chair in front of a screen and Lilly sat next to him.
"Greetings duelist!" he said.
"Welcome to Battle City!" she finished.
"It's time to put your dueling skills to the test. I hope none of you entered our tournament looking for friendly computation. Battle City is going to be an all-out war."
"Before our tournament begins we thought we'd let you know how it's going down in case you want to back out now."
"Let's begin with the duel disk. You can duel anytime, anywhere."
"Second! If you lose you must give up your rarest card! If you're too scared then back out now."
"Finally, if anyone is stupid enough to challenge me or my sister to a duel, you are welcome to. We will also be competing in this tournament. But don't get your hopes up. I interned to win and there is one person out there I want to beat."
"And speaking of duelist, only the top duelist can make it to the finals and they will be held in a hidden location. In order to fine the finals you need these locater cards," she said while holding hers up.
"You'll need six of them to make it there. Stack six on top of each other and you'll find your location. But that's a long time away and most of you will be eliminated way before that."
"Get ready duelist!"
"Let the tournament begin!" they said at the same time. With that everyone went off to find their first appoint.
"Hikari?" said Seto.
"Yes?" she asked.
"You will stay with ether me or one of the younger boys during the tournament. I don't want you getting hurt."
"Okay big brother!" she said with a smile. Then they saw something on their computer.
"It looks like someone has started the first battle," said Lance in excitement.
"Yeah!" exclaimed James.
"It's Yugi!" said Mokuba.
"He wasn't in the database till last week!" yelled Lilly as she look up info on him.
"Then he's disqualified" said Mokuba as he was about to leave.
"No. Rare Hunters took my bait."
"Hu?" said all three younger boys.
"It's just as I planned." he said. With that they watched the duel go on.
'I hope Yami wins,' thought Lilly.
~ Time Skip~
After a while they noticed more things.
"He's a cheat!" yelled Lance. They three boys were going to go get him when Seto told them not to.
'Oh brother. I hope what your deciding is right,' Lilly thought to herself.
~ Time Skip ~
After the battle Lilly and Seto left to go and start there duels.
"Wait for us!" yelled the younger three as they ran to catch up with their older siblings.
It was a while and Lilly had already gotten all the cards she needed.
'Now what to do?' she thought when she saw Seto.
"Hay Big Bro!" she said as she followed him into the ally.
"Did you finish?"
"Yes! SEE!" she said as she showed him. While walking they saw some guy messing with Mokuba, James, and Lance. They started talking when Seto challenged him to a duel and he used Obelisk the Tormentor and won.
"Now to use this on a real opponent," he said as the five of them walked away.
Lilly then, without Seto noticing but the younger boys noticing, went in a different direction to look around when she saw Yami. She ran up behind him and covered his eyes.
"Guess who!" she said.
"Um. Hikari." he said. She removed her hands and made a cute pouty face.
"No fair! You go it right!" she said and he smiled at her. That's when they saw a clown.
"Hello Yugi. We've been looking for you," it said.
"Who's we?" he asked.
"You'll find out if you walk that way," it said as it pointed in a direction, "fifty-three steps forward and into the tent. My master is waiting for you both inside. It's in your best interest to go," it said as it left.
"I don't like that clown," Lilly said as they started to walk to the tent. She grabbed the back of Yami's jacket.
"Are you afraid?" he asked amused.
"No. It's just that something about that clown is way off," she said. He nodded and grabbed her hand so that she was walking next to him. They went in and saw nothing.
"A magic show?" asked Yami. They then saw the clown again coming out of a box.
"Enter here, you two. My master is waiting," it said as it disappeared. Yami followed and since he was still holding Lilly's hand, she had no choice but to fallow as well. They went in and disappeared.
~ Meanwhile with Seto and the boys ~
"Seto the computers lost track of Yugi!" said Mokuba.
"Not only that but Lilly TOO!" said James.
"What? That's impossible. Make sure the link is working. Now!" he said alarmed.
"Right!" said Lance as the three boys got to work on it.
'Why didn't she listen to me and just stay with us?' thought Seto.
~ Meanwhile ~
When Yami and Lilly came out of the box, they found themselves in a room.
"Where are we?" asked Lilly.
"I don't know," he said as he walked forward. He then let go of her hand when the computer came on.
"Hacking into Battle City database. Duelist profile for Yugi Moto, dueling level, five stars, rarest car, The Dark Magician. Duelist Profile for Lilly Anne Kaiba, dueling level, five stars, rarest card, the Light Magician Girl," it said as it showed their profile. The Dark Magician then came to life and started talking to them. Then a man came out named Arkayna and challenged Yami to a duel. They then fallowed him down stairs.
"Hurry. I have orders from my boss to make this a real spectacle!" he said with a creepy smile.
"Orders?" asked Lilly in confusion.
"Who are you working for?" asked Yami in anger.
"Forget whose back stage! Just worry about me!" he said laughing. He then continued to the next room.
When they got there they saw a room that looked perfect for a circus.
"I had it specially made. It's almost time to raise the curtains and start the show! I hope you in joy a good show, Yugi, there are no screaming fans or cameras, but your girlfriend there must go or she can be our only audience," he said. He snapped his fingers and a cage fell on Lilly.
"Hay! Get me out of here!" she said scared. The cage then started lifting and the bottom appeared, trapping Lilly above the dueling arena.
"Hikari!" yelled Yami. He was mad. "Let her go!"
"Only if you win!" said Arkayna. They shuffled each other's deck and then the floor moved. Once it was all the way back, chains came and went around there feet.
"No!" said Lilly.
"Relax. We're both locked in. Meaning that nether one of us can escape!" he said. "And here's the extra twist! We're not just playing for what's in our decks but also our minds!" Then disk came out of nowhere.
"NO!" yelled Lilly.
"What's that?" asked Yami.
"It's a dark energy disk, Yugi, and I wouldn't get to close. One touch and your mind is banished to the shadow realm and to make it more interesting, if you lose, your girlfriend over there loses as well!"
'Oh no! That asshole! Wait till I get out of here! And how do you even make a disk out of dark energy?' thought Lilly.
"I'll explain the rules. See the numbers written above the disk?" he said as the other two looked toward said objects.
"Those are our life points. The closer our life points get to zero, the closer the disk gets to us," said Yami.
"Yes! And then you can say hello to the shadow realm. Alright and now look down between your feet. You'll see that we both have a key box. Inside is the key to unlock the shackles around your legs, but in yours, you also have a key to get your girlfriend out of her cage."
"What? And why does everyone keep calling me his girlfriend?" said Lilly.
"It only opens if you win the duel," said Arkayna.
"You're crazy!" she yelled at him.
"Think of it as a hope chest really, because that key is your only hope," he said as they started to duel.
While dueling each other, Lilly was left sitting in a cage above it all.
'Damn! How do I get down?' she thought.
The duel went on as Lilly watched helplessly.
'God Damn it! I feel like some god damn princess waiting for her prince charming to save her!' she thought sadly. 'Wait! I got an Idea!' She got out a paper clip that she had put in her pocket after she had to take it off of a stack of papers earlier. She made it long and started to pick her way out. She got the cage door unlocked and slowly opened it. She grabbed a wire holding it and started to pull herself out. She slowly moved to the wall and then climbed down. Once she was out of harm's way, she yelled.
"Come on Yugi! You can kick this assholes butt! Show him whose boss."
"How did you get out?" asked Arkayna mad and shocked.
"Picked the lock. Duh!" she said back. Then they went back to their duel.
They played till finally, Yami won. He turned back into Yugi and went to save Arkayna. Once he saved him, Arkayna was possessed by Marik and they started talking.
After that the two left and then went their separate ways.
'Seto is going to be so mad when I get back to him' thought Lilly as she ran to where he brother had wanted to meet her. 'I hope we can defeat this Marik guy soon!'
