Yu-Gi-Oh! R: The story of the anime.
We probably won't see much of Yugi in this one. But I promise the Dreadroot situation and the big surprise for those who don't have a clue what's happening are here.
Blame me for the length of time it took to get this up, once again. I've been under pressure, don't know why. Any suggestions? (Although now that I'm writing again the pressure is lifting!)

A World Ruled by Terror!
The mighty golden form of the Winged Dragon of Ra rose up on the field behind Yami Yugi in the Battle Stage of KaibaCorp Tower. It faced the Wicked Dreadroot, a monster whose power was formidable, but useless against that of Ra.
"This is the most powerful of the Egyptian God cards!" yelled Yugi. "The Winged Dragon of Ra!"
And as suddenly as it appeared, Ra shredded into wisps, and then it vanished.
Impossible! thought Yugi in shock. Ra . . . vanished?
Mendo Cino continued to laugh at Joey Wheeler. "You got no choice but to end your turn! Now I'll end the duel on my next turn!" he yelled. He paused, calming down. "But y'know, man, for a low-grade duelist, you did well. Hey, you even freaked me out for a second there, summoning Jinzo like that. But playtime is over, so now just suck it up and lose!" He drew. "My turn!" he yelled. "Mantis Egg produces another Baby Mantis Token!" he yelled. Another immature mantis crawled out. Cino grinned. "I sacrifice both Tokens to increase Dreadscythe Harvester's attack points by 500 for each until the end of the turn!" he called. The massive insect warrior glowed as its attack points shot up to 3300.
"Joey!" cried Tristan in shock.
"Go, Dreadscythe Harvester!" yelled Cino. "Mow down Jinzo!"
"I activate my facedown card!" yelled Joey, as Harvester charged. "Rush Recklessly! This handy car adds 700 points to my Jinzo!" Jinzo, keeping its cool, turned to the side, its attack points rising to 3100.
Cino growled. "Nice try! But Dreadscythe Harvester still has more attack points!" he replied.
Sure enough, the attack bisected Jinzo, dropping it to the floor in pieces, and dropping Joey to 300 life points.
Cino looked at him. "What was that for, huh? Can't you do the math? Or were you just trying to buy more time?" He pointed across the field. "What now, Joey? You don't have enough life points to summon a monster with Labour Pain on the field! So just quit wasting my time – HUH?"
A massive black box had appeared on the field behind Joey, wreathed in smoke.
"Yeah, sorry," replied Joey. "I wouldn't want to waste your 'time'."
The machine opened, and out stepped the mighty form of Jinzo.
"I activated my Time Machine trap card!" explained Joey. "I brought back Jinzo to save it! And now, your turn ends! Without his power boost, Dreadscythe Harvester doesn't stand a chance!" He drew. "It's my turn now!" he yelled as he drew.
Cino was in shock. T-Time Machine! No way, how could he manage to bounce back from the brink of defeat?
"Go, Jinzo!" yelled Joey. "Get him with a Cyber Energy Shock!" Jinzo formed its lethal blast, and released it at Harvester, shattering it.
Cino growled again, life points at 2900. I can't believe that I got tricked by a cheap duelist like him! I'm still in this, Joey! "It's my turn!" he called. "The Mantis Egg produces another Baby Mantis Token! I then pay 1000 life points to summon Guard Mantis in defence mode!" (1000/2400) he yelled, life points dropping to 1900. "I also play Mystic Wok, to sacrifice my Guard Mantis and gain its defence points as life points!" he yelled. His life points increased to 4100. Even with that boost, that stupid Labour Pain card is hurting me now!
Joey just laughed. "Oh, man, you shoulda done something useful!" he grinned. "My draw!" he called. "I play a spell card! Monster Reincarnation!" he called. "Now by tossing a card I add one monster from my graveyard to my hand!" he called. "My Blue Flame Swordsman!"
Cino was a bit confused. What exactly is he trying to do?
Joey grinned. "I play Monster Reborn," he said.
Cino caught on. This could hurt a little.
"I bring back my Red Eyes Black Dragon!" yelled Joey. (2400/2000)
A massive form rose behind Joey, a black dragon with a beak like jaw, and a saurian appearance, its glaring red eyes easily visible.
Cino panicked. First Jinzo, and now the Red Eyes? I-Is this guy really only worth a $200 bounty?
"Okay, Jinzo!" yelled Joey. Give that Baby Mantis a Cyber Energy Shock!" he yelled. Jinzo blasted the Mantis, causing Cino to scream as his life points dropped to 2400.
"And now, last attack!" yelled Joey. "Red Eyes Black Dragon, attack him directly with Inferno Fire Blast!" he called. Red Eyes blasted a massive torrent of flames at Cino, knocking him down and dropping his life points to zero.
He's good thought Cino in shock. I can't believe my strategy failed.
"That's what you get for calling me a cheap duelist," said Joey. "Looks like my 'cheap' bounty was a little too rich for your blood, you smack talking punk – What the heck is that noise?" he yelled. "Just when I was setting him straight," he muttered.
The he saw the jet flying past the window.
"What?" gasped Cino.
"That jet!" cried Tristan. "It's Kaiba!" he yelled. "Did he come flying all the way back from America?"
Sure enough, the CEO of KaibaCorp was piloting the Blue Eyes White Jet past the building.
"You mean he came flying back here, literally?" asked Joey.
Cino ran up beside them. "Hey! Something's chasing his jet!" he yelled.
In the passenger seat, Mokuba called out to Kaiba. "Big brother, it's still coming after us!" he called. "No radar signal and no heat response! What's going on?" he protested.
Kaiba just peeked behind him and sighed. "Mokuba, expand the heat fans and prepare to hover!"
The thing that was pursuing them swerved, hovering between then and the building. It was a massive dark red dragon with a pure white horn coming out of its forehead. It looked remarkably similar to the Red Eyes in terms of shape, but was smaller overall.
"A dragon?" asked Mokuba. "It's like its guarding the building!"
Kaiba opened the jet cockpit, and leaped out onto the canopy. He fired up his disk. "The KaibaCorp building!" he yelled, "is something that Mokuba and I built together! The monument to the beginning of our dream!" He slotted his deck into his disk. "Don't sully it with your pathetic pseudo dragons, Tenma!" he yelled. He drew a card. "Take a good look!" he yelled, slapping the card onto his disk. "This is the building's true guard dragon! The Blue Eyes White Dragon!"
A massive form, even larger than Joey's Red Eyes, slowly formed. A majestic white dragon with a three-layered crest and sapphire eyes.
Both dragons blasted their attacks at each other, a ball of lighting and a ball of white flame. The attacks collided – and Kaiba leapt back into his jet, and steered it onto the building. He got down, keeping his disk active.
"So that was the famous Blue Eyes White Dragon, huh?" said a voice. The speaker, his own disk active, stepped out of the shadows. "Nice," he said.
He was thin, unhealthily so, with white, long hair spiked up above his head, and with a simple pendant around his neck. "I always wanted to see which was stronger," he admitted. "That or my White-Horned Dragon deck."
"I don't have time to play games with you," said Kaiba. "Get out of my way!"
"Hold your horses, little lord of cards," said the man. "Yako Tenma is the new owner of this building. Even you have to obey house rules. Win and advance, or lose and retreat, if you want to get past me. Let's duel!"
Yugi just stood there, shocked out of his mind. Yako laughed, a facedown card activated beside him.
"Tenma!" yelled Yugi.
Yako chuckled. "That's right, I also had a card ready for you!" he called. "The counter trap card known as the Selection!" he said. "Since a God card was already on the field, Ra's summoning was negated!" He smiled. "You were correct. There is only one type of card that is not affected by the Wicked Dreadroot, and that card is a God card." He smirked at Yugi. "Once summoned it truly is a God, with absolute control over the duel, but before it's summoned, it's only a card." He burst out laughing. "As long as I don't let you summon one, you don't have a chance of fighting my Wicked God!"
Yugi grimaced. This guy is good!
Croquet applauded in the background. Yes, perfect he thought. Yugi Muto conquered both Duelist Kingdom and Battle City. He truly is an elite duelist. But of all the duelists raised by Master Pegasus, Master Tenma was the only one he ever called perfect. The outcome of this battle is clear!
"My turn," said Yako. He picked up a card from his hand. "Thank you for letting me reinforce my hand back there," he said. "As a result, this card found its way to me." He held it up, and Yugi felt a surge of power. "The spell card, Divine Evolution!" he yelled. "With this card my Wicked God will evolve and become even stronger!" he called.
Dreadroot turned dark and began to change. In mere moments its new form stood before Yugi, its neck had elongated enough to make the demonic skull seem like its real head, its fingers had become longer and sharper, and its legs had merged into a massive snake trunk.
(5000/5000)
Yes, that is the current status of the Wicked Dreadroot, that 5000 there. Freaking insane. That situation would be horrible. A mainly destruction immune god with 5000 points apiece, and the ability to halve the attack of any monster. What the freaking hell!
I hope that those who have read the original story liked the stick in of Red Eyes Black Dragon. Heh-Heh. Oh, come on, bros, it's as awesome as ghost chips!
A personal shout out, if you read this, then read the fic Yu-Gi-Oh! Nightrise, by ardee. It might not seem traditional, but if you want huge fic's, ten this guy is huge. Seriously, he's brilliant.
But don't forget about me! Please Rate and Review!
