"Hello, you two" Said Hope, as he walked into a questioning room with Zigfried and Leon already in it. "We won't negotiate with someone who works with Kaiba" Said Zigfried. "And you were so open last night. What about you Leon? Wanna hear my offer?" Asked Hope. "Uh..." Said Leon. "Do not harass my brother" Said Zigfried. "Well, when the deal involves copies of your old decks, a chance at being the CEO and Majority Shareholder of Kaiba Corp and a personal apology from Kaiba all for the low cost of playing in the tournament, I'd recommend a read of the deal" Said Hope, placing a stack of papers in front of Zigfried and Leon, before leaving the room.

Two days later
"And Kaiba beats Rio with an attack from the Lord of D! He will join the other recent winners, Blue Angel, Windy, Gore, Jack Atlas and Dr. Vellian Crowler, who in the past two days defeated their opponents, Alexis Rhodes, Nistro, Jaden Yuki, Soulburner and Aigami respectively, into the second round of the Neo Kaiba Grand Prix" Said an announcer, as Emily turned off the TV. "Why did you get Leon and Zigfried into the tournament?" Asked Emily. "Wanted to turn their life around. And... they have more advanced medical technology. You see, Zigfried, out of spite, went into a different field then card games. Rather, he went into the field of medicine. And it appears that means that the Swiss or wherever he's from will live as long as you are tall in centimetres. Plus about 18" Said Hope. "... 180?" Asked Emily. "... Maybe minus 18. Anyway, apparently Zigfried really likes Mokuba, so he'll enter the tournament for Kaiba to publicly apologise, fork over Kaibacorp and heal Mokuba. Party later tonight to announce the matchup" Said Hope. "I bet that will go over well" Said Emily. "One can only hope" Said Hope.
