Chapter Thirty Five:
Back to Battle City!
Sounds were made as if Gwen was back from whatever she was doing and took a seat, asking, "It's still going at it?"
"Looks like it," Yugi said, in a cute annoying tone in his voice.
"When do you think it'll be over?" LeShawna asked.
"That reminds me, was there any scenes that are cut between Kaiba and Gwen?" Duncan asked. "I wonder if their tastefully done."
All of a sudden, a sound was made as if Gwen was hitting against the Delinquent, as he was starting to yell in pain.
"Just be glad I'd never kick you where it hurts," she said. "That's Courtney's abusive job right there."
"And what does THAT suppose to mean?" Courtney yelled. "Boyfriend stealer."
"Would you please SHUT IT?" Joey yelled. "Geez, why your the most fan favorited, I'll never know."
The signs on the screen then changed from "To Be Continued" to "Please Be Seated."
"Alright, we're back on," said Mokuba.
"All right, everyone," said Joey. "The intermission's over, we all reloaded our snacks offscreen at some point, we can all experience the rest of the tournament, shut up."
The screen suddenly turns static and then comes back to the Battle Ship, but for some reason, it's not even a blimp anymore, as it now looks like a regular airship.
"Attention Duelists, we apologize for the delay," the voice in the intercom said. "We've set course back to Alcatraz Island, where it will be the final conclusion of the Battle City Finals."
Mokuba had a sad look on his face. He shuts his eyes tightly and was starting to shed a few tears. He remembered the last conversation he had with Noah, who stops their course towards Alcatraz, where he was trying to get his revenge on Kaiba for reasons that are yet to explain to the viewers. He remembers that Noah was evil, but because of the Young Brother, he turned his evil ways and helped everyone escape...but with a cost of his life. Mokuba wiped some tears off of his face."
Why am I upset? he thought. Noah would want me to move on, and he wants me to live in the real world for him. I just need to brace up, that's all. He then looked over towards Kaiba before continuing. After all, I can't always rely on Seto.
Kaiba suddenly noticed his brother shedding a few tears, looked over towards Mokuba, and asked, "Mokuba, is there something wrong?"
The Young Brother tilted his head sideways and said, "No, nothing's the matter."
The brothers looked up ahead of them, and saw that they were almost there to their destination, while Kaiba says, "You see, Mokuba? There are only eight finalists left in the game, including myself. It won't be long until I've been crowned as the world's greatest Duelist on top of that tower! But who will win will be decided. Marik's Winged Dragon of Ra, Yugi's Slifer the Sky Dragon, and my Obelisk the Tormentor. Only one will possess all three Egyptian God cards, and that will be me!" He then lifted his arm before he continued, "I'll be the one who stands in the Tower, and I'll finally be respected and feared by every Duelist on Earth!"
Confessional
"Not again," said Mokuba.
End of Confessional
The CEO squinted his eyes before he continued, "It's only a matter of time...before the winner takes all."
Meanwhile with the gang, things were kind of heated up from what happened in the Virtual World. Particularly Duncan, as he couldn't understand why his past was shown to both him and Joey, and seemed to haunt him the most. Is that why he was sent to Juvenile Hall in the first place? Luckily, the Brooklyn-Accent Teen decides to keep Duncan's past a secret and promise not to tell anybody, crossing his heart and hope to die and to stick a pizza in his eye. Both guys walked into Courtney's room, where Serenity was sitting besides her.
"Hey guys," she said.
"Hey, has Courtney said a word?" Duncan asked, walking up to the Sweet Girl.
Serenity moved her head from side to side, saying, "No. Still quiet as ever. What does she ever do to Marik, anyway?"
"Gloating in his face that she will win?" Joey asked. "Sounds like something she would do."
Duncan didn't say anything. Instead, he was glaring right at Courtney, who was still unconscious on the bed. He placed a hand on hers before saying,
"Don't worry, Courtney. I will try my best to defeat Marik and save you from your time of dying," he said. "Even if it's the last thing I ever do. Wait for me, okay? You'll be better soon."
"Just promise me that you'll be careful," Serenity instructed.
"Sure," Duncan nodded, standing up. "Besides, if I do beat Marik, then that means I get his Egyptian God Card, right?"
Joey crossed his arms and said, "I wouldn't be too sure. Because there's that ancient text on the card, and there's a major possibility that you won't translate it and get a chance to control it like Courtney did."
"Relax, I can translate languages in my sleep," the Delinquent bragged.
Meanwhile, in a familiar bedroom, Gwen was laying down on her bed. Her combat boots were off, same with her vest, her Duel Disk, and her necklace. She was in somewhat in a fettle position, laying on her left side with her legs near her chest and her arms around them. She seemed to look upset, with tears running down her face, mixing it with her eyeliner, looking as if she was crying out ink.
"How does Noah even know?" she asked. "How does he know my deep and dark secrets? And because of him, Kaiba and Mokuba witnessed them as well. But Kaiba...he knows one of my secrets. He knew it all along and didn't even have the guts to tell me until it came out. How does he also know that? I can't even believe it."
The poor Goth girl continues to sob, her tears mixed with eyeliner getting on the pillow and blanket underneath her.
The sound was heard that sounds like the intermission clicking on, before a voice saying, "Attention finalists. We are approaching our destination in six miles. Prepare to get your Duel Disk and deck ready."
The intercom was turned as, as there was a knock on the door, as Yugi's voice rang out with excitement.
"Hey Gwen, it's time! We need to get ready!"
Gwen rolled her eyes and sighed.
"Attention Duelists, we have now arrived to Alcatraz Island. Please wait until we land for further instructions."
Everyone looked through the window and saw the island that they'll be landing on. The whole place looks as if everything got destroyed and it's entirely in ruins...except for a long, huge Dueling Tower in the middle of it. The Battle Ship prepared the landing gear, and it lands safely onto the ground, the doors opening with the stairs setting down.
Kaiba lifted his arm up once more in a creepy fashion, watching as Yugi and everyone else, including the Total Drama gang, except for Serenity, Mai, and Justin, leaving, saying, "The moment is finally here! Soon I'll be crowned the world's greatest Duelist!"
Everyone was leaving the Battle City and took a look around of their surroundings...except for LeShawna. For some reason, she looks as if an accident happened. How does Noah even know about her past, even if it is dangerous and haunting?
"LeShawna, are you okay?" Tea asked.
"I'm fine girl," the Ghetto girl said. "How does that scrawny kid know about what I went through a few years ago?"
"Look LeShawna, I know that it's bothering and all, but we got to moving ahead," said the Friendly Girl. "Noah's dead now. Even if he did turned good, he won't haunt anyone with their past anymore. Besides, I was with you when you experienced that. It was tough."
"Your right, I gotta get my dance station back on," said LeShawna with a small small on her face. "But...just don't tell anybody of what you saw, okay?"
"Don't worry, your secret's safe with me," said Tea.
Both girls then walked right next to everyone, and they all leaned their heads up and saw the tower standing in all it's glory.
"So that's the tower Kaiba-boy won't shut up about, huh?" Duncan asked, dugging his hands in his pockets.
"Yeah, so now what?"
"Look, the island we're standing on is the original Kaiba Corporation, but I tore it down."
Everyone, mostly Yugi and Gwen, were shocked when they heard that familiar voice behind them. They all turned around and spotted Kaiba right behind them, his brother standing next to him with his arms crossed.
"And is that-"
"Yes!" Kaiba interrupted Yugi, pointing his finger at the tower. "That's the Duel Tower and I plan to defeat you on the very top, Yugi!"
And with a golden glow from the Millennium Puzzle, Yami suddenly appeared, taking over for Yugi.
"Hey rich boy, incase you forgotten, me along with the other Total Drama contestants are in this too!" Joey yelled. "I'll beat you so hard, you'll crawl through the ocean, and it's a long way back home from there!"
Kaiba suddenly smirked, closed his eyes, and leaned his head down, saying, "Must you always embarrass yourself, Wheeler?" He leaned his head up and glared at the Brooklyn-Accent teen, saying, "Your not even in my tournament, so for that, I'll bury you in the scrap!"
Duncan walked up right in front of Joey, glaring at Kaiba, saying, "Hey man, mess with him, and you mess with us, got it?"
"You tell him, Duncan!" Joey said, his eyes widen.
Before both of them took things too far, both Tristan and LeShawna ran up in front of them, the Brunette saying, "Whoa guys, calm down. Don't want to make a mistake, can we?"
Both Joey and Duncan then started lounging out on Kaiba, both of them being pulled back by Tristan and LeShawna, with Duncan saying, "Let me at him! Let me at him!"
"Yo, save that for the finals, you guys!" the Ghetto girl said.
"Yeah, use those angers to beat Kaiba in the finals!" Tea proudly said.
"Whatever, let's just go," said Kaiba, walking up past the group. "We're far behind on schedule."
Before he could go any farther, he suddenly stopped right next to Gwen, and turned his head to glare at her. The Goth girl returned a glare to him, as she suddenly knew what he was going to meant. The CEO turned his head and continued on.
Confessional
"This is bad," said Gwen, looking concerned. "If Kaiba doesn't get his chance to Duel Yugi in the finals, he's going to take it out on me. I don't know if I had what it takes to beat Kaiba. I mean come on, I dueled a couple of times in the Virtual World, but I'm still a beginner. I got lucky that I made it though."
End of Confessional
Everyone was then starting to walk through the rubble, and before any of them knew, Marik suddenly appeared, walking right next to them on the rubble.
"It's such a beautiful day, isn't it Pharaoh?" Marik asked, with Yami stopping on his tracks. "Such a shame that a few of your friends can't watch while their away in the Shadow Realm and dying."
Duncan then ran up next to Yami and glared right at Marik, saying, "Hey, you jerk! Your going to pay for what you've done to Courtney!"
Geoff ran up in front of him, glaring, too, at the Dark Monster, saying, "Yeah. Your going down for what you've done!"
The Delinquent looked at the Party Dude with a confused look on his face, asking, "Uh Geoff, your not getting that puppy-nature out of your head, right?"
Geoff quickly looked at Duncan and said, "That's suppose to be a secret. What happens in the Virtual World stays in the Virtual World!"
Marik ignored what they were saying, and looked over at Kaiba and Mokuba, saying, "Then let's get on with these Duels. When do I find out who my next victim is?"
"Just chill out!" Mokuba yelled, glaring at the Dark Monster. "We'll tell you when we get inside the tower, is that clear?"
Marik chuckled evilly before saying, "Then let us proceed so we can begin."
Confessional
"Marik is going down!" Duncan yelled. "I had enough of that sadistic dark-loving, kill-enjoying jerkface! I cannot wait 'till I take him down!"
End of Confessional
Everyone then reached to the front door of the tower. The door slowly opens, letting in the bright light in. To most people's surprise, Chris suddenly appeared in front of them in the dark, with a sadistic smile on his face. The lights then turned on as everyone walks in.
"Welcome Duelists for making it this far to the second round of the Battle City Finals," he announced.
"So what gives, anyway?" Duncan asked.
LeShawna looks around, saying, "Yo, this place doesn't look much like a Dueling arena."
"As we all know, we've come down to the Final Eight," said Chris. "In order, there's Yugi, LeShawna, Joey, Gwen, Duncan, Trent, Marik, and Kaiba. As you look around, you know that we're all surrounded by four doors, that each finalist will call dibs on. However, since there are only eight of you, we're pairing you guys up as partners in four teams of two. I'll explain the rules as we go along. For now, when I call your name and point at a door, go to your selected spot. Team One: Yugi Muto and Gwen."
"Yes," Gwen said, with both her and Yami exchanging high five and going to their respective door."
"Team Two: Joey Wheeler and LeShawna."
"Ah yeah!" LeShawna said. "We got this in the bag."
"Yeah," Joey said, giving her a thumbs-up before going to their door.
"Team Three: Duncan and Trent."
Both Duncan and Trent suddenly glared at each other, as the Musician spoke in a dead pan voice, "No, really?"
They then walked to the other door, as Chris says, "And that leaves Seto Kaiba with Marik Ishtar."
Kaiba shrugged, saying, "I have no problem with this, as long as I get to face against Yugi and Gwen, I don't care for now."
"Everyone who is not a contestant can come with me to the next room," Mokuba said.
With that, everyone, except for the Final Eight, already went through a door with an esculator on it. The four doors around them then suddenly opened up around them, leading them to somewhat of dark rooms. The four teams of two then walked into their own rooms.
"Aw man, I'll never get a chance to sing the Potato Song," Joey complained.
"Well at least Chris already assigned us a room, that's for sure," said LeShawna.
In the room both Yami and Gwen were assigned to, right in front of them looks like blue and yellow Duel Platforms. It looks like there's two, but their connected to each other.
"I think we need to stand on those," said Yami.
"I guess, but what's Kaiba up to?" Gwen asked.
Both of them walked over and stand on the platforms, the doors on them closing to secure safety to the Duelists while the door in front of them closed.
"Are we suppose to Duel in these?" the Goth girl asked.
"I'm not sure," said Yami.
Meanwhile, in the other room, Mokuba and Chris led others to watch looks like a really tall Dueling Arena with black screens that says four thousand life points on each of them. They all looked up, but couldn't even see anything from where they were at.
"I can barely see the top of this place!" Geoff said.
"Any idea where the Duelists are?" Tristan asked.
"Well here they come," Chris said.
One of the two-attached platforms came up from out of nowhere, where there was Duncan and LeShawna. The Brooklyn-Accent teen seemed to be freaked out by this. Followed by Kaiba and Marik, Yami and Gwen, and Duncan and Trent.
"Well, it looks like the gang's all here," Duke commented.
"So what's going on?" Joey asked LeShawna. "Is this somewhat of an eight-way Duel?"
"Your host will explain the rules," Kaiba spoke loudly. "And I asked him to speak slowly so you would follow."
Joey suddenly got angry at this and raised a fist right at him, yelling, "Your lucky that I'm over here!"
"Before we can commense to the official Second Round, the rules apply," Chris starts to explain. "This eight-way Duel is to decide who gets to face who in the second round. You each have partners, which means that you cannot target or attack them, but work together with them. The partners would face off against other Duelists in this Duel, like a royal. Each partner will have a turn after another Duelist going fourth in the Duel. If your life points decreases, then the Dueling Platform that connects to your Partner's would be disconnected, and you'll rise up depending on the number of life points you lost. But don't worry, that doesn't mean your no longer partners to the person right next to you. The turns would go around in a circle, and which ever Duelist loses gets to advance to the next round. For example, if Joey loses first followed by Duncan, then they'll face each other in the next round. Everyone understand?"
Before any of them could answer, the Sadistic Host interupts, saying, "Good!"
Confessional
"So it's an eight-way free-for-all Duel, except we can't attack the person who is our partner," Joey explained. "This is gotta be good."
End of Confessional
"Now everyone, connect your Duel Disk to the monitor," Chris instructed. "The monitor will show the cards your using during the Duel.
Yami suddenly found a USB cord, took a hold of it, and plugs it to the bottom of his Duel Disk. Everyone followed him soon after.
"And to remind all of you that this Duel will affect who you will face in the Second Round," Chris continues. "This does not affect your placement in the Tournament."
Back in the bottom middle of the room, everyone was listening to what Chris was explaining, as Tea turned around to face the guys and said, "Well this is good. It doesn't matter of who wins or loses, right?"
"It's not that simple, Tea," said Duke. "Think about it, this Duel could be the most important Duel in the tournament. It's an eight-way free-for-all Duel, right? And the teams of two can't attack each other, but have to work together. They can control who they can face in the Semi-Finals. Not to mention that more than two Duelists can gang up on the other."
"So who should we worry about?" Geoff asked. "Knowing everyone, they might go after Joey."
"What did you say, Geoff?"
The Party Dude looked up and saw Joey looking straight at him, saying, "Just try not to lose early, okay dude!"
Confessional
Instead of Yugi being alone this time, Gwen is also with him.
"So the purpose of the Duel is for the Duelist choosing who they want to face in the finals," Yugi pointed out.
"Chris is joking, right?" Gwen asked.
Yugi nodded a 'no' before saying, "But the question is...who will we pick? And who else wants to call dibs on us?"
"Kaiba better not call dibs on me, that's for sure!" Gwen said. "I had enough of him back in the Virtual World. He might pick you, since your the real target he's after. He'll do anything to be a champion, even being an egotistical jerk."
"That may be, but Marik is also after the Pharaoh too, so..." Yugi slowly trailed off.
"Your doomed, right?"
"...I guess."
Static
"I think who I shall face in the next round shall be Yugi," Kaiba explained. "I'm not ready to face Marik yet, and not to mention we're partners in the Duel. I need Yugi's Egyptian God Card if I'd ever want to beat Marik's."
Static
"I don't care what anybody else says, but I'm calling dibs on Marik," said Duncan. "Because he's the reason why Courtney's dying. I won't let her die because of him!"
Static
"Yeah, to be on the safe side, I think I'll go ahead and go after Joey," said Trent. "I can't stand Dueling against another evil person."
End of Confessional
"Duelists, get ready!" Chris proudly proclaimed, everyone getting their decks out. "Remember, the first two people who reaches to the top will face each other. The same rule applies if the next four Duelists loses. The same goes to the last two Duelists standing. Now draw a Monster Card, and with the higest attack points added together, the team goes first. But just to be on the safe side, the monster you choose cannot be used in the Duel."
Everyone then looks at their decks, and Yami seemed to be freaked out.
"So if we were to go first, then one of us needs to get rid of a powerful monster?" Gwen whispered.
"Exactly," Yami whispered back.
After a minute, everyone picked out a Monster Card, and Chris said, "Alright! Show everyone on the playing field the monster you chose, and we'll get started."
With that, everyone flashed out the card of their choosing at each other. Kaiba picked out Masked Beast Des Gardius (3300), Marik chooses Rekunga (1700), Yami chooses Feral Imp (1300), Gwen chooses the Dark Magician Girl (2000), Trent chooses Cyber Prima (2300), Duncan chooses D.D.M. Different Dimension Master (1700), LeShawna chooses Harpie's Pet Dragon (2000), and Joey chooses Swordsman of Landstar (700).
"And added those together, Kaiba and Marik's team has five thousand, Yami and Gwen have thirty three thousand, Trent and Duncan have four thousand, and Joey and LeShawna's team have twenty seven thousand," said Chris. "And just for that, Kaiba will go first, followed by Trent, Gwen, and LeShawna. Then Marik will go first followed by Duncan, Yugi, and Joey."
Everything's going according to plan, Kaiba thought. I'll save Yugi for the Second Round. But first, since Marik is my partner, I can't target him. Therefore... He then eyed the platform where Yami and Gwen were standing on, his eyes focusing on the Goth girl. I'll focus my attention on Gwen, so she'll be the first to go. I'll worry about her if I don't Duel Yugi. Then everyone else will go down.
Duncan leaned over to Trent, as he whispers, "Listen man, I don't like you, and you don't like me, but I need to ask a favor."
The Musician glared at him and whispered back, "What favor?"
"Help me take down Marik so I can take him on in the second round."
"Dude, are you serious? This is Marik you're talking about. Did you see the way he defeated Courtney?"
"And that's why I want to get back at him. Help me try and take him down so I can try and face him."
"And what's in it for me?"
"I won't bully you for a whole year."
"And there's no reprocussion for this?"
"I can be a man of my words sometimes."
"Alright...deal."
With that, both enemies shook hands with each other, concealing their deal. Meanwhile with Joey and LeShawna, the Brooklyn-Accent teen leaned over to LeShawna, whispering, "Psst, LeShawna. I have no idea who to face off against."
"Me neither, but by my suggestion, Shawnie suggest you go after Trent," LeShawna whispered back.
"You sure?"
"Positive, that way, you won't deal with anyone evil, like that Marik creep."
"Alright, I'll take down Trent, and I'll see if I can take him on afterwards."
Meanwhile with Yami and Gwen, the Pharaoh was whispering to the Goth girl, as he said, "Gwen, you know that my partner and I enter the tournament so it would help me regain my memories, right?"
"Y-Yeah," Gwen slowly whispered.
"We need to stop Marik from his evil and get him to release everyone's injuries he caused. We just need to find some way for me to duel him, so he won't harm anyone else."
"You sure? He has the Winged Dragon of Ra. He has the most powerful God card in all of the three. There's no way you can beat him."
Yami closed his eyes, saying, "Your right, Gwen. That's why I'm trusting you for this. I also want to ask a favor?"
"What favor?"
"We can't let anyone interfere with Marik. They'll get hurt if they go against him in the second round."
"But Duncan wants to beat that guy to bring back Courtney."
"I know, but promise me that we'll take down the others so they won't get hurt."
Gwen shrugged her shoulders, saying, "Deal."
"Alright, enough waiting!" Chris yelled. "When your ready, you may begin!"
