Chapter Twenty Five
I don't own Digmon or Yu-Gi-Oh
Chapter Twenty Five:
The sun had finally set and night had fallen over the Duellist Kingdom, and everyone was in the dining hall eating their fill, well except Joey and Tristan who were stuffing themselves stupid.
"Give me seconds of that chees," Joey said with a mouth full of food.
"Yeah and the ham," Tristan said his mouth stuffed as well.
"And that uh, weird jelly cake looking thing," Joey said as he swallowed what was in his mouth.
"If this was a Duel Muncher's competition, then you two would win," Tea said.
"I swear, they are garbage disposals," Daisuke muttered and Yugi chuckled at her statement.
"On behalf of Maximillion Pegasus, I would like to congratulate our five finalists, and welcome them to this final phase of the tournament, I trust you all have your play off entry cards," Croquet said and everyone looked at him in confusion and Daisuke put her hand in her pocket and pulled out the two weird cards she received when Pegasus stole Jun's soul.
"You mean these?" She asked him showing the two cards to him.
"Yes, you all received two cards when you entered the tournament, you must have one of them or you will be disqualified, the Glory of the King's Hand, and the Glory of the King's Opposite Hand, each of these cards offers unique prizes, the Glory of the King's Hand card is need to claim the three million dollar cash prize, the Opposite Hand card allows the winner to challenge Pegasus for the championship," Croquet said.
"Now he tells me, I don't have either one of them," Joey thought in shock.
"Of all the cards I own I need the two I don't, I will have to get me one of them," Bandit Keith thought to himself.
"To make tomorrow's tournament more interesting, your host has added a special ingredient to your soup," Croquet said as everyone looked down at their soups and an eyeball popped up out of Joey, Bandit Keith, Mai, Yugi and Daisuke's soups.
"Wha!?" the five of them asked in shock.
"Gross, I just lost my appetite," Tea gagged pushing her soup away from her.
"Hey my soup is eyeball free," Tristan said swirling his spoon around in his soup.
"Hey this is worse than having a fly in my soup," Joey said to Croquet.
"Open up the eye and look inside it please," He told them and they all looked down at their soup and the eyeballs. "Each of you has been randomly assigned a letter," He told them as all five of them opened up the eyeballs and Daisuke saw she had a piece of paper with the letter A on it.
"What is this for?" She asked as she saw Mai show her a piece of paper with a B on it, she also saw Joey show her a D and Bandit Keith a C, and she saw Yugi show her and E.
"And now the islands computer will pair up the letters to determine the duel matchup's," Croquet said as a screen came down from the ceiling from behind him.
"Who is going to be paired with who?" Tea asked aloud.
"Good, once I know who I am duelling I can prepare tonight," Mai thought to herself.
"It doesn't matter if I don't have one of them glory cards," Joey thought to himself.
"And the duels shall be as such," Croquet said as a tree appeared with A by B, C by D and E above C and D. "A versus B, C versus D and E will face the winner of C versus D and the winner of that duel will face the winner of A versus B," Croquet said.
"Who has C?" Joey asked everybody and Bandit Keith chuckled.
"Me runt," He said.
"Alright, time for payback for trapping us in that cave," Joey said.
"Once I crush you, you will wish you were trapped in that cave still," Bandit Keith told him.
"I have got A, looks like it is me versus you Mai," Daisuke said to her and she nodded her head.
"I am looking forward to this duel," She told Daisuke who nodded her head.
"Me too, and may the best girl win," She replied to Mai who smiled slightly at her.
"The matches are set, Daisuke Motomyia versus Mai Valentine, and Bandit Keith versus Joey Wheeler with Yugi Moto facing the winner of that match, and the winner of that match will face the winner of match between Daisuke Motomyia and Mai Valentine, please enjoy this feast, because for four of you tomorrow, your long journey will have ended in failure," Croquet told them all before he left the room and everyone looked at each other before they started to eat again.
"Oh man I am stuffed," Joey said rubbing his stomach as did Tristan.
"You said it," He replied.
"I can't believe you ate the whole eyeball soup," Tea said to them both as Yugi walked over to Joey.
"Hey Joey, we should get to bed, we will need it for tomorrow," Yugi said to him.
"What is the point, without that card…" Yugi cut him off as he handed him a card.
"Actually this Glory of Kings hand is yours, just think of it as an early birthday gift," Yugi told him.
"Yugi," Joey said, "You need that one," he told him.
"The rules didn't say we needed both cards, we just need one to compete in the finals," Yugi told him but Joey looked away. "If you back out now who is going to help your sister, what kind of big brother would you be if you didn't even try to win," Yugi told him.
"Yug," Joey said.
"Think about it Joey, if you are in the tournament with me and Daisuke, our chances of winning the whole thing go up," He told Joey.
"Alright, you are a real pal Yugi," Joey said as he took the card from Joey and Bandit Keith looked at the two of them.
"All this lovey dovey stuff is making my skin crawl, so I am going to hit the hay," Mai said as she walked away before looking back at Daisuke. "And see you tomorrow Daisuke," she said and Daisuke nodded her head agreeing with her and everyone soon walked towards the rooms that they had been allocated for the evening.
"Good night you guys," Bakura said as he entered his bedroom.
"Later," Tristan said.
"Goodnight," Tea said as she closed the door behind her leaving Daisuke, Joey and Yugi alone.
"Well I better turn in," Yugi said.
"Yug wait." Joey said as Yugi and Daisuke looked at him. "Listen thanks again for bailing me out, you're the best bud," He said and Yugi nodded his head.
"Well okay I need to prep my deck for Mai, even if it takes me all night," Daisuke said as she walked towards her room and shut the door behind her and looked out the window at the stars. "Well Jun, I made it this far, just a few more duels and you will be safe," She thought taking out her deck and looking at it. Meanwhile Mai was looking at her Harpie Lady card.
"Okay I will have to fine tune my deck if I am to beat Daisuke, even if it takes me the whole night," She thought to herself. Later that night Joey was snoring his head off and mumbling about food, the door suddenly opened slowly as Bandit Keith crept in and he saw Joey's entrance card and he swiped it.
"You snooze you lose," He whispered before shutting the door behind him. Meanwhile at the same time Daisuke was tossing and turning in her sleep.
"Dai!" she heard her sister call to her and she shot up and gasped in shock.
"Jun, it is my fault, I couldn't beat Pegasus before, and now you're trapped wherever he put you, how can I beat him?" She asked herself before she looked over at her deck and picked it up and looked through the cards before she stopped on two cards that caught her interest. "Huh? Dark Magician Girl? And Call of The Ancient Dragon? I have never used these cards before, well first time for everything," Daisuke said to herself as she heard a shout from one of the other rooms.
"Grandpa!" She heard Yugi shout and she then heard Yugi run out of his room and she opened her door to see him run down the hallway.
"Yugi?" She asked before she decided to follow after him. She saw Yugi turn a corner and run into a courtyard.
"Grandpa!" Yugi shouted looking around the courtyard, "Where are you, I can't find you!?" He shouted again.
"Yugi what's wrong?" Daisuke asked him walking up.
"I heard my grandpa call to me, but I can't find him," He answered her.
"Down here!" They heard a voice call to them and they both looked down and they gasped when they saw two cards on the ground.
"Grandpa!" Yugi shouted bending down and picking up the two cards.
"Jun!" Daisuke said taking one of the cards out of his hand.
"Dai, watch out for Pegasus, he wields shadow powers of incredible strength," The card of her sister said.
"Much stronger than anyone could have imagined!" Yugi's grandpa said.
"How is that possible?" Yugi asked.
"Every soul that is trapped in the shadow realm, for everyone he traps his power grows," Jun said.
"Damn him, we have to stop him," Daisuke said as the two cards flew out of their hands and they both saw four pillars appear and the two cards landed on two of them.
"No. Kaiba and Mokuba," Daisuke said.
"Grandpa and your sister," Yugi said.
"This is wrong, this is terrible," Daisuke said looking at the four cards that contained the souls of Kaiba, Mokuba, Jun and Yugi's grandpa.
"Save me Yugi," Kaiba's soul card said.
"Save me Dai," Mokuba's soul card said.
"You're next Yugi and Daisuke," Kaiba said.
"He wants you both," Mokuba said.
"But why does he want us?" Daisuke asked them.
"Pegasus has unlocked great power with his single Millennium item, how much more power do you think he will have once he claims your puzzle and bracelet?" Yugi's grandpa asked them.
"But how can we stop him?" Daisuke asked him.
"Just as Pegasus unlocked the powers of his Millennium eye, you have to do the same for your Millennium items," Jun told her.
"Ours?" Yugi asked.
"Yes Yugi, your puzzle and Daisuke's bracelet, you must unlock their powers," His grandpa said.
"But how?" Yugi asked.
"You have to figure that out by yourselves, because if Pegasus wins, he will bring about the end of the world," Jun said as Daisuke saw a blue flame in front of her and Yugi which turned into an inferno.
"Jun!" Daisuke shouted.
"Grandpa!" Yugi shouted as well both in shock at what they were seeing.
"You can do this Dai and Yugi, we believe in you," Jun and Yugi's grandfather said to them.
"Unlock the secret of your Millennium Items Daisuke and Yugi, only then can you defeat Pegasus," Yugi's grandfather told them both as the flames climbed up the pillars and engulfed them.
"Jun!" Daisuke shouted and she woke up and gasped in shock and panted.
"Dai," she turned to see the door open up and saw Yugi walk into her room.
"Did you have the same dream?" She asked him and he nodded his head.
"Yeah I did," He replied before he sat on the edge of Daisuke's bed.
"Yugi, what happens if we can't win?" She asked him.
"Don't even think about that Daisuke, one of us will beat Pegasus, we have to," Yugi told her and she looked at him.
"Yeah, but he can see our cards and read our minds, how can we beat that?" She asked him.
"I don't know, but we have to try for your sister and my grandpa, not to mention Kaiba and Mokuba," He replied and Daisuke nodded her head at him.
"Yeah you're right, what was I thinking?" She chuckled to herself and Yugi smile at her.
"Well just remember to trust in…" Yugi said.
"The heart of the cards, I know that Yugi, but what if that isn't enough to beat Mai, and Pegasus?" Daisuke asked him and Yugi sighed before he sat closer to her and rested his arm over her shoulder.
"Don't worry Dai, just trust yourself, you are probably one of the best duellists that I have seen ever," He told her and Daisuke looked over at him and she smiled at him and she blushed slightly before she kissed Yugi on the cheek and Yugi went bright red as well.
"Thanks Yugi, I mean that," She said to him and Yugi nodded his head.
"No problem Daisuke, now get some sleep," He told her and she nodded her head and Yugi left the room blush still on his face.
