It's morning once again. The second day of the Battle City tournament has begun and the duelists still in the running are out, on the streets, challenging one another. Among them, Yugi is walking, like a zombie. Is he trying to find Tea right now? Is he not? He's not sure about anything anymore.

He hardly got any sleep last night. He would toss and turn for five minutes, then get up and roam in other rooms for five minutes, then back in his room for five minutes etc In the end, Rebecca tried to console him. Yugi yelled at her to go away; at some point, he even threatened to mind crush her if she didn't leave him alone! (Obviously, he didn't mean it. He was just too frustrated.) Nevertheless, Rebecca was not afraid. She stayed by his side, she even grappled with him for a while when he lost it. In the end, the crying boy reverted to his normal form and fell asleep in his blonde friend's arms.

And now, here he is, roaming the streets, as he did for hours last night. Rebecca wanted to accompany him, but Yugi pointed out that it was too dangerous for her and firmly insisted that she stayed behind. Yugi knows that, sooner or later, that Marik scumbag will make his next move; that's why he kidnapped Tea after all. Sooner or later, he will have to deal with that madman. And, when that happens, he won't be able to afford to have to keep an eye on a 12 year old girl as well.

A female voice behind him causes him to halt. 'Hey, Yugi.'

It's Mai. She's running over to him. And she looks worried.

'Is what Tristan told me true?' the woman asks, still shocked.

'Yes,' Yugi nods, knowing full well what Mai is talking about. 'Tea has been kidnapped. And I bet my Dark Magician that Marik, the psycho you fought yesterday, is behind this.'

'Then, sooner or later, he will attack you,' Mai deduces, crossing her arms, still with a worried expression on her face.

'Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too,' Yugi agrees.

'I'll come along,' Mai decides. 'I have already qualified for the Battle City finals, so there is no need to look for any more weaklings to crush. I have ample time to help you.'

'Mai, it's dangerous...'

'I said I'm coming along and I'm not changing my mind,' Mai snaps, clenching a fist with determination. 'Tea is my friend, too, and I'm going to help her.'

Seeing that there is no point in further objecting, Yugi sighs. 'Fine. Let's go.'


Yami Mokuba and Marik are in the former's room, with Tea still sitting on the bed, unresponsive.

The two villains are watching Yugi and Mai walking, through the Millennium Rod.

'I admit your idea of kidnapping one of Yugi's friends was great, partner,' Marik remarks with an evil smile. 'And now, allow me to make the next move!'

And, with those words, Marik sends, through his Milliennium Rod, a telepathic message to two of his Rare Hunters. Since their primary targets, the two possessors of God Cards, both are currently in the same place, let's turn this into a tag team duel! It will be fun!

'Lumis. Umbra. I've got a task for you.'

'At your service, Master Marik,' the two Rare Hunters telepathically respond.

Marik grins. The mask themed decks of those two guys are specially built to stop God Cards! Marik himself built the decks of those two henchmen, as a safeguard, in case he ever lost one of his Gods.

Soon, both Slifer and Obelisk will be in his hands!


Yugi and Mai are still roaming the Domino City streets, when a mysterious person appears before them, seemingly by falling off the sky!

The two duelists gasp and step back in surprise.

'Greetings, soon to be deceased,' he says as he stands up. His voice is deep and masculine. His features are concealed by his purple hood, though Yugi and Mai can see his eyes glowing underneath it in an ominous manner. Both of them can tell instantly that he's a Rare Hunter.

'You scumbags. Give Tea back!' Yugi yells, before the man can inform them that he's here 'on behalf of Master Marik'.

'Now now, no need to be hostile, lad,' the tall man replies, in an exasperatingly calm tone of voice. 'If you want to see your friend again, meet me and my partner on the top of this building (points towards a skyscraper).'

And, with those words, he begins climbing the aforementioned building, jumping from ledge to ledge.

'Couldn't he use the elevator or the stairs like a normal person?' Mai, for all the severity of the situation, can't help commenting, unknowingly quoting what the Yugioh Abridged version of Kaiba said at this point in the series.

'Let's go, Mai,' Yugi cries and runs into the building.


In another part of the street, Joey, who hasn't seen or contacted his friends at all ever since the tournament began and therefore has no idea that Tea has been kidnapped, is roaming the streets, with his hands casually placed over his head.

Darn. Last night was... nice. He won't deny it. But still, he's now confused like hell.

At least he has already qualified for the finals, so he won't need to duel today. Then again, maybe a duel or two would help him take his mind off his sexual confusion; in that sense, he kinda regrets being so good a duelist that he has already collected the six locator cards he needs!

Alas, the only thing left for him to do today while waiting for the finals to commence is try... not to be gay.


Having reached the top of the building, Yugi and Mai are now standing across from their two opponents: the tall guy that invited them here and a short guy. They both have partly lowered their respective hoods, thus revealing their ugly, creepy faces. All four people are standing on a glass part of the roofdeck.

'Allow us to introduce ourselves,' the tall man talks again. 'I am Umbra, aka the Mask of Darkness.'

'And I am Lumis, aka the Mask of Light,' the shorter Rare Hunter introduces himself as well.

'On Master Marik's orders, we shall take your God Cards and your lives,' Umbra informs them. 'Nothing personal!'

'So, if I got it right, this is going to be a two versus two duel,' Mai casually comments, not really afraid, having got used to her life being in danger by now.

'Precisely,' Lumis nods.

'Well,' Mai carries on, with her lovely finger on her chin, 'I'm not very familiar with how tag team duels work, so, care to explain the rules?'

'Of course, beautiful but soon to be dead lady,' Umbra politely replies.

And so, the Rare Hunters explained the rules of a tag team duel, which are the following:

-All four players begin with 4000 life points each. If a player loses all their life points, they get eliminated from the duel, though their partner can keep playing and the duel continues until both players of a team have been defeated. Also, in this specific duel, since it is a life or death battle, when a player's life points hit zero, an explosive device next to them will be activated, shatter the glass under their feet and send them to their death, tens of storeys below!

-Every turn, each team will alternate between its players. And so, it has been decided that Lumis will go first, then Yugi, then Umbra, then Mai. The first two players to make a move will skip their respective draw phases on the first turn. In other words, Lumis and Yugi will skip their respective draw phases on the first turn.

-None of the four players can conduct their battle phase on the first turn.

-If a player is attacked directly, their partner can use one of their monsters to block the attack. If, on the other hand, a specific monster is chosen as an attack target, the partner of that monster's controller cannot use one of their monsters to intercept the attack.


Thanks to Noah hacking the KaibaCorp site, Weevil and Rex both managed to get a pass to the aircraft that will take the finalists to the Duel Tower Island tonight.

'Well, even having a pass, they still look like teenagers (mainly, because they are teenagers indeed!) How are they supposed to convince the guards that they are working for KaibaCorp?' you ask.

Good question! In fact, that was exactly what Rex asked. Noah answered, 'This is a problem you have to solve yourselves. I cannot do everything for you, dears.'

And so, Rex and Weevil are now rehearsing in the latter's hotel room.

'Perhaps I should be the top part,' Rex suggests, with Weevil standing on the former's shoulders and trying to cover them with a coat that resembles a security guard uniform. 'No offense, Weev, but my face looks more mature than yours.'

'Maybe,' Weevil reluctantly admits. 'But your muscular strength is greater than mine, so you can bear my weight more easily than I can support yours.'

'Just try to make your voice sound masculine, so that the guards won't find out that we're actually schoolchildren,' Rex advises him.

'I know, Rex,' Weevil rolls his eyes. 'I'm not stupid.'

When Weevil has finally managed to cover them with the coat, the 'man' the two schoolchildren have disguised themselves as paces the room for a while, trying to find his footing.

Both teenagers giggle in anticipation. If everything goes well, by tomorrow, they will have brand new physical bodies and they will be able to begin a new life. Away from the puny bodies they currently have. Away from their bullies. Away from their respective families, whom they never liked anyway. Away from their current lives, lives full of misery and humiliation. Tomorrow, they both will have new identities!

Weevil will be Yugi! He will be admired and respected by everyone, despite his ludicrous hairstyle (though Weevil is planning to change that hairstyle when he has got Yugi's body). He will be close to Yugi's girlfriend, that Tea chick.

Actually, Yugi and Tea are not a couple; at least as of yet! It's just that Weevil falsely believes they are a couple, because he never was on good enough terms with Yugi's crew to find out details about their personal lives. And, boy, he can't even begin to count how many times he has fantasized about those two fucking! How many times he has jacked off to that thought! How many times he has cummed thanks to that thought! How many times he has had to do his laundry himself so that his mom wouldn't discover his cum stained sheets!

Well, as of tomorrow, the above will no longer be a fantasy. It will be his real life! He will be Yugi and he will have sex with that hot chick everyday!

As for Rex, he will be Joey! He will be close to Serenity, Joey's sister. Rex found out Joey had a sister when, one time, he browsed through Joey's Facebook page and came across some photos of her. And he found her hot. Especially that timeline photo showing her at the beach in a pink bikini helped him cum multiple times that night. (Lol, if Joey ever found out about that, he would murder him!)

Well, as of tomorrow, he will be close to that chick and have a chance with her! Yeah, he knows that, technically, this will be incest, since he will have Joey's body, but, from his perspective, it won't be incest. Rex is pretty sure that, when he becomes Serenity's 'brother', he will find a way to manipulate her into having sex with him. And then he will write about it on those sites where incest stories are published, with their respective authors swearing that they're '100% true stories that absolutely happened'.

In short, as of tomorrow, Weevil and Rex will be in Heaven. All they have to do is defeat Yugi and Joey respectively in a duel in the virtual world. And they are absolutely going to defeat them. They know they can do it this time!


'So, fellows,' Lumis concludes. 'Now that everyone here is familiar with the rules, let the tag team duel begin!'
