"We should probably go to sleep now." Tea says.
"Yeah! I can't wait to get some much needed rest!" Tristan says.
The six of us then set up a tent. Once it's all set up, it doesn't seem very large, "Okay, so not all of us are going to fit into that." I say.
"I say the girls get the tent. Men are perfectly capable of staying outside." Tea says.
"What?! That's not fair!" Joey yells.
"Of course it is. Right Sabrina?"
I shrug, "I really don't care." I say.
After lots of yelling and arguing, the guys give in and let the girls get the tent. Tea makes her way inside the tent and begins fixing it to her desire. "Sabrina, you going to come in soon; there's plenty of room." Tea says.
"Y-yeah I'll be there in a minute." I say.
But that minute ended up turning into half an hour. Yugi, Bakura, and I have been talking about our Millennium Items. Joey, Tristan, and Tea seemed to have fallen asleep rather quickly. As we keep talking, I notice something on the Millennium Ring; one of the points that hang from it is glowing. "Hey Bakura, is it just me or is the Millennium Ring glowing?" I ask.
Bakura then looks at the Ring, "If it's not then we're all seeing things." He says.
"It seems kind of spooky to me." Yugi says.
I notice that the point is actually pointing toward the castle, "You don't think it can sense other Millennium Items, do you?" I ask.
"I don't know. But it did the same thing when I met Yugi. I would sit there in class and notice that it was pointing straight to the Puzzle. It also did the same thing when I met Sabrina." Bakura says.
"So then why would it point to the castle?" Yugi says.
"Because it senses Pegasus's Millennium Eye." I say.
The three of us then decide it's time to go to sleep. I don't bother to go inside the tent, wouldn't want to interrupt Tea's 'beauty sleep' as she calls it. So I decide to lie down on a patch of soft grass. I can't sleep though, there are too many things racing through my head.
Ever since this tournament started, there have been more and more dangers. Each danger seems to be related to the Millennium Items somehow, with Bakura's Ring and those strange spirits that live within Yugi and I. Whoever they are, I just hope they can help rescue Gramps.
I end up sleeping for about half an hour, until a loud noise wakes me up again. I sit up to find a helicopter about to land right next to us. The rest of the gang wakes up soon after due to the blinding light it gives off. I have a feeling that the person inside that helicopter is Kaiba. Who else would come to an island like this?
When it finally lands the person inside is none other than Kaiba. Yugi walks up to him, but Kaiba doesn't show the slightest emotion in seeing him; not that I expected he would. "I haven't seen you since our duel Yugi." He says.
Yugi nods, "Oh! I almost forgot." He says. Yugi then reaches into his pocket and grabs Kaiba's deck, "Here, I've been holding on to it."
"Thanks." Kaiba says grabbing his deck. "You'll be compensated for your trouble." He says walking away.
"But Kaiba, I thought that since we're all heading for Pegasus's castle, you could maybe travel with us." Yugi says.
"Don't be so naïve Yugi. This thing isn't a game to me; I'm going after Pegasus to save my brother and my company. I'm not going after some silly prize, so have fun with your tournament."
"Oh, it's not like we're doing this for fun Kaiba. We have family members we need to fight for, so don't give us that attitude." I say rolling my eyes.
Kaiba ignores us, which makes Joey run up to him in a fit of rage. "Listen tough guy! You may want to rescue Mokuba, but don't think you're the only one with a problem! Didn't you hear Sabrina; we're all fighting for something out here!" Joey yells.
Kaiba isn't fazed by this and throws Joey to the ground. Man, what is with this guy? "Do you really think you're going to stop me? I'm only interested in finding Pegasus." Kaiba says.
"Forget about Pegasus! Get out your deck; I'll take you on right now!" Joey says.
"Forget it. Go find an opponent you can actually beat; like an infant, or a monkey."
Kaiba begins to walk away, which annoys Joey even more. "Joey stop! Yugi may have beaten him, but he's still considered one of the top duelists in the world." I say.
"Nah! Ever since Yugi kicked his butt, I bet he can't even play a Trap Card without flinching! So how about it Money Bags; you wanna prove me wrong?"
"On one condition; we play using my newest system in holographic dueling technology."
New technology? Kaiba then opens his briefcase, and tosses something to Joey. It looks like some sort of disk. Part of the disk is smaller, and Kaiba says to strap it on your wrist. "First put your dueling deck onto the wrist system; the Life Points will be calculated for you. Then play a card on the Digital Card Reader; the rest should be pretty simple." Kaiba says.
He then plays Battle Ox (1700/1000) in attack mode. Kaiba then throws the card reader like a Frisbee. When it lands on the ground, some shiny particles appear above it, and then Battle Ox appears. It looks too real to be a hologram though.
"Alright, here we go! I summon Armored Lizard!" Joey says throwing the card reader.
"Go Battle Ox! Destroy his lizard!" Armored Lizard gets destroyed and Joey's Life Points are brought to 1800.
Joey summons Flame Swordsman and attacks Kaiba's Battle Ox. What is he doing? The Battle Ox is resistant to all fire attacks. Flame Swordsman is then destroyed, bringing Joey to 1600 Life Points.
Kaiba then plays Mystic Horseman and Polymerization to create Rabid Horseman (2000/1700). In Joeys next few turns, he summons Swamp Battle Guard, Axe Raider, Battle Steer, and Garoozis in attack mode. All of them are destroyed by Kaiba's Rabid Horseman; which brings Joey to 700 Life Points.
"Alright, I summon Rude Kaiser!" Joey says. That won't do anything. Rabid Horseman destroys it and brings Joey to 500 Life Points. Joey falls to his knees, "That's right Wheeler; fall to your knees like a whimpering dog." Kaiba mocks.
"I'm no whimpering dog! So check this out; Red-Eyes Black Dragon!" Joey says. Red-Eyes is able to destroy Rabid Horseman, bringing Kaiba to 1600 Life Points.
Kaiba smirks though, "Your pathetic dragon may be strong but it pales in comparison with my beast. Now come forth; Blue-Eyes White Dragon!" he says. "White Lightning Attack!"
The assault on Red-Eyes brings Joey to 0 Life Points, winning Kaiba the duel. "N-no I lost." Joey mutters.
"That's right Joey. Stay down like the sniveling dog I've turned you into." Kaiba says. The rest of us walk up to Joey, as he sits on the ground in shame.
"I'd say my Duel Disk system is quite effective; not only did it destroy Joey into submission, but look at him, he's mopping like a frightened dog, just how I intend to leave Pegasus."
"You jerk! You took away his confidence, along with his dragon! He was just starting to belive in himself as a duelist!" Tea says.
"Please, do you really think that if he faced Pegasus, he would be any less merciful to you then I was? That Heart of the Cards crap you believe in doesn't do anything for me, I need to my own way, and I'm not changing the way I duel. Maybe Joey shouldn't try anything new either, unless he likes life as a dog; eating off the scrapes of past victories and begging for mercy from true duelists."
"Kaiba, that's not true." Yugi says.
"Open your eyes Yugi. I'm going up against Pegasus, and for me to beat him I need to rely on my own tactics. Pegasus isn't just great at Duel Monsters; he uses some kind of cheating strategy."
Kaiba then tells us about a tournament taking place in New York City. A duelist named Bandit Keith made it to the finals and was facing Pegasus. He says that Pegasus wrote something on a piece of paper and called over some kid from the audience. He gave the kid the notes, which were instructions on how to beat Keith. The kid then took out all of his Life Points.
That story… it reminds me of how Pegasus knows each card that will be played… with his Millennium Eye! "It's his Millennium Eye; he can see every card someone will play. I doubt your dueling system can get around that." I say.
"Whatever, my system will mop the floor with him." Kaiba says.
"Then I wish you luck in finding your brother." Yugi says.
"I wish you luck in finding your Grandfather. Let's just hope our paths don't cross again." Kaiba says walking away.
Okay yeah this was like a filler episode to show how much Joey fails. But I kind of agree with Kaiba sometimes, how he thinks Joey is a wimp, because he kind of is. Anyway, this is the last day of Spring Break for me so I probably won't update the story tomorrow, but maybe on Tuesday. But it will be sometime this week.
