Kaz drew the Yu-Gi-Oh characters playing Pokémon GO! I can now die happy.
This one was tough, since everyone will be watching from three different places. Let's see how this goes…
CorinnetheAnime: Slowly but surely. We'll have to see what Ishizu thinks. I don't know what's going on with Keith.
YumiStar: Crap, that's another person I've injured because of the story. Someone get this reader to a hospital!
UltimateGundamFighter: BBT will be done in another fanfic, I want to do the actual series first.
Thedarkpokemaster: Let's just say, he won't be a huge fan of all the thiefshipping.
Rittie: I do know other ships that will be popping up later, and if I recall, this episode in the show does set sail a popular ship in the fandom (especially with a certain line from the Japanese version). Oh I remember all right. I, Tea Gardner, am having my… you know what, we'll get there when we get there.
GlaresThatKill: Same with me, I can't pick just one episode I like. BBT will be after I do the actual series.
Money100: Enjoy the chapter.
Louisa: The 1950's called, they want their virus back!
Duskrider: Thank you.
Wingedlmpala: THANK YOU! …Please don't kill me, but I haven't read Harry Potter *puts up invincible wall* I'll leave the decision of what schools they would be in to you. Brace yourself for the giant rocks!
Above the Winter Moonlight: Thank you…in Canada.
Saffira Artemis: Now I want ice cream! I can't wait either, I've already preordered Moon version! Oh my Ra giant rocks! Same with me, I heard Poker Face the other day, and I sang along. Can't beat my, can't be my, no they can't beat my Brooklyn Rage!
Dragon Goddess: Are you out in public now? No, then continue on. Yes, then get somewhere so you can read this chapter without people around!
Bunnychu15: Ha, we'll have to see what she thinks, and Marik when he comes into the picture.
Zekeram12: Pokepuns! I have no idea why that is, I guess it's just a fandom thing. (Yugi: Wait, what does this have to do with my pants?) Take off his leather pants!
Blizz: I think the app came out in Canada by this point, it's a lot of fun. In the meantime, enjoy the chapter.
SuperNova23: I think Canada has the app now. I'm not sure about that one yet, I haven't actually seen the video yet. (I had no idea I have fans up in Canada, cool!)
Reydrago: Yami Bakura doesn't want to take over because he wants to lay low and not bring up a lot of attention to himself, considering he's their number one enemy. When he watched in previous episodes, he usually didn't comment out loud. That being said, I won't deny that he'll have a lot to say later on.
Zombyra: You'll see what they think, enjoy the chapter.
Guest: Thank you. Pokemon GO is awesome, a battery drainer, but still awesome! Hugs for everyone!
S Danyal Allen: Ha, enjoy!
FANactic Writer: Thank yo…Oh, a Jigglypuff! Gotta go!
Andrey258: Thank you so much. Reading reviews and comments like that always puts a smile on my face. I'm a girl btw ^^' but I appreciate all that you said! Enjoy the next chapter.
Skylinemaster: Thank you!
Chasing Insanity: Thank you, enjoy the chapter! :)
TTY7: Ha, I had to have Yami call Yugi 'little one' at some point. I love it when he does that in stories! Good luck Florence, maybe Marik can help you rethink your plan. ;) We'll see what happens, I hope I live up to everyone's expectations.
Itachiforever342: Not to his own self, but Melvin, that's a different story. Poor Florence, wait no, we want his plan to fail. At least Keith will make a couple more appearances later.
LadyRaider92: I understand. Ha, you could say that. Actually, Bandit Keith only cameos form now on in the series, so we won't hear much from him. ^^'
AnimaniAshley: Thank you! Ha, nice! Gotta catch em all!
EpicKiya: Thank you! I want to see Dsod so badly! _ I've already read the spoilers, but I still want to actually see the movie! They will react to the music videos once they've watched the actual series.
WillowRedfox: Heh, I don't think I'd go that far. I still think the actual series is funnier than what I have. I am having a super special awesome day! Thank you so much!
Bakura Ishtar Allonsy: Giant rocks!
Ronin warriors fanatic: Oh boy, when that time comes…
There will be no point in time and space where I own Yu-Gi-Oh or the abridged series. Enjoy!
-Abridged series.-
"Mind speaking."
Normal dialogue
Another hot day in Egypt was nothing new to Ishizu. The siblings had gone to the town to get necessities. Marik and Odion were off getting food while Ishizu was waiting for them at the end of the market. She turned around towards the direction of the pyramids.
"It will soon be time for the pharaoh to return and find his lost memories," she said to herself.
Since Ishizu knew what would happen once Yami's memories were restored, she didn't mind waiting for Yugi to arrive. She respected Yugi's decision to spend more time with the pharaoh and come to Egypt when he was ready.
"Excuse me ma'am?"
Ishizu was snapped out her thoughts at hearing a voice behind her. Turning around, she saw a man standing next to a computer. She walked over to him.
"I was wondering if you could help me. My computer doesn't seem to be working, and I thought maybe you could look at it."
"I'd be glad to," Ishizu replied. She looked at the computer and went to work. After a few minutes, the computer was working fine.
"Hey thanks miss. Tell you what, I'll let you use it for a little bit while I watch my stand. Consider it my way of saying thanks," the man said as he went back to his stand.
Ishizu looked at the computer and noticed a video with the tablet as the thumbnail. Curious as to why that was, she clicked on the link.
/
"And finished." Mokuba put away his last piece of paperwork. He gave a sigh of relief. Now that his work was done, he had the rest of the day to himself. He turned towards the computer and thought about the videos.
"Maybe I was a little too harsh last time. I guess I shouldn't take them too seriously," Mokuba thought as he started the computer up, ready to give them another try. "Let's see, how about this one." He clicked on one of the videos.
/
"You sure? Okay. We'll see you tomorrow." Yugi hung up at the same time Joey did. They were back at the game shop and sitting in front of the computer.
"Tea said we could go ahead and watch another video. She'll catch up with us next time," Yugi said.
"Tristan said the same thing," Joey replied. "Well, if they're okay it with, let's see what's next Yug," he said clicking on the next video.
-Yami: Yu-Gi-Oh, it stays crunchy even in milk. – "Oh yeah. Of course they stay crunchy, because they're yugilicious," Joey said while Yugi burst out laughing.
-Museum Official: Welcome Ms. Ishtar. On behalf of the Domino Museum, I'd like to welcome you to America, or Japan. I'm not quite sure where we are, it's pretty vague. – "I think it should be obvious where we live," Yugi said. He and Joey looked out the window, and then at each other. "…Okay maybe not."
-Ishizu: I trust you have made all the necessary arrangements for my exhibition. – Ishizu's face showed nothing but confusion. "What is this?" she asked herself. "And why do I sound so different?"
-MO: Don't worry. I have developed an ingenious plan to transport your Egyptian artifacts.-
-Ishizu: You're placing them inside several vehicles disguised as garbage trucks.-
-MO: How did you know!?-
-Ishizu: My Millennium Necklace gives me the power to see the future, and also to break the fourth wall. – Ishizu touched her neck where the necklace used to be. "The Millennium Necklace doesn't break the fourth wall. That's not even possible. Why would this video claim that it does?"
-MO: That's pretty neat. What else can you see?-
-Ishizu: In about five seconds, you will be interrupted by the opening credits.-
-MO: What the hell are you talking abo…-
Yugi, Joey, and Mokuba all laughed when the intro played and interrupted him. Ishizu also couldn't help but smile, even though she was still confused.
-Announcer: We interrupt this program to bring you an urgent report! It seems that the Domino Museum is holding an extremely boring exhibition on Ancient Egypt. Apparently this qualifies as news. In other plot related stories, Seto Kaiba is about to receive an important phone call. – "Well that's something you don't hear on the news a lot," Mokuba said.
-Mokuba: Hey big brother, can I watch Spongebob?-
-Kaiba: Shut up Mokuba. I'm busy flagging Youtube videos to compensate for the fact that I have an extremely small penis. – "No, no, no, no, no, no," Yugi and Joey repeated.
Mokuba rubbed his forehead in frustration. Hearing the door behind him open, Mokuba turned around as Kaiba walked in and sat down.
"Hey Seto," Mokuba said nervously, although glad that Kaiba didn't have to hear that statement. Kaiba could hear the shakiness in Mokuba's words.
"Something wrong?" He asked. Mokuba snapped out of his thoughts and shook his head, turning back towards the computer. Kaiba shrugged.
-Mokuba: Oh…I like Patrick. – "We never had a chance to watch Spongebob when we were young," Mokuba said.
"If we could…" Seto responded.
-Kaiba: What the hell do you want?-
-Ishizu: Hello Kaiba, this is Ishizu Ishtar. Stop whatever you're doing and look at the TV right now.-
-Ishizu: I personally invite Seto Kaiba to come to my museum.-
-Kaiba: What the hell was that?-
-Ishizu: You see Kaiba, I called you on the phone specifically so that you would hear my invitation on the television.-
-Kaiba: Why didn't you just invite me over the phone?-
-Ishizu: Because I have magical powers. – "Is someone joking around with our lives?" Ishizu asked herself, still very confused.
-Kaiba: You do realize you're paying for this call right? – "Ha, not anymore," Mokuba said with a little laugh. Kaiba stopped what he was doing and smiled, finding the video's logic funny.
-Yugi: I feel so confused. I can't decide whether I'm the main character or not.-
-Yami: Of course you're the main character. The show is called Yu-Gi-Oh remember? Yu-Gi-Oh, Yugi. Seems pretty obvious. – "Okay, so if that show really exists, it would also feature the pharaoh too, since you guys still call him 'Yugi' when he takes over," Yugi said.
"That's true," Joey said.
-Yugi: Yeah, but you're the one who always wins the card games. You're the one who always gets all the fangirls. I get nothing. Let's face it, I'm about as important to the plot as Bakura. – "Hey, Bakura's important to us," Yugi said.
-Yami: Don't say that, don't even think it! – Yugi smiled. He always liked it when Yami gave him encouragement of any kind.
-Ishizu: Welcome Seto Kaiba. I'm glad you came.-
-Guard: I've locked all the exits.-
-Guard 2: And I helped. – "Oh yes, I'm sure you help a whole lot. What would we do without you," Joey said sarcastically.
-Kaiba: Tell me what this is about or I'll be forced to unleash the fury of my anime mullet. – Mokuba started laughing. "Just think, my brother unleashing fury from his hair." Kaiba looked at his hair and smirked.
-Ishizu: Come this way Kaiba, and all will be revealed.-
-Kaiba: Let me get this straight, it's been 24 episodes and we're only just now explaining the plot. Does J. J. Abrams write this show or something? – "That… would actually make a lot of sense," Kaiba said.
-Ishizu: We've uncovered rare artifacts that depict the earliest game played in Egypt. Behold Kaiba, the origin of Duel Monsters.-
-Kaiba: Oh my God a giant rock! – Yugi and Joey started laughing, along with Mokuba. Ishizu smiled as a small giggle came out, but she covered her mouth with her fingers.
Finally, Kaiba was actually chucking. If he wasn't so focused on what was on the tablet, he would've probably said the same thing.
-Ishizu: That's right Kaiba, a giant rock.-
-Kaiba: I can't believe what I'm seeing! A giant rock! It's a rock and its giant! – "Yes, let's all bask in its glory. It is a giant rock," Joey laughed.
Mokuba laughed while Kaiba was also chuckling behind. "Finally, something about that rock that isn't any Egypt nonsense."
-Ishizu: Yes, and that's not all. Come over here Kaiba, and prepare to witness something incredible.-
-Kaiba: Okay, but it's gonna be tough to beat that giant rock.-
-Ishizu: What you're about to see will change your life forever.-
-Kaiba: Oh my God another giant rock! – Kaiba's laugh was now becoming more audible, catching Mokuba's attention. "You enjoying this Seto?"
Normally, Kaiba would deny his enjoyment of the videos. But this time, he continued laughing. "I may have underestimated these videos." Still, he wasn't one hundred percent on board with them, but Kaiba couldn't deny that that number was slowly increasing.
-Ishizu: This giant rock depicts the duel between the pharaoh and his high priest.-
-Kaiba: What the hell? He looks just like Yugi! But what does this mean?-
-Ishizu: It means your arch-rival Yugi Moto is a reincarnation of the pharaoh, and that history is about to repeat itself.-
-Kaiba: Are you trying to tell me that Yugi and I are destined to play card games with each other for eternity?-
-Ishizu: Yes.-
-Kaiba: Best destiny ever! – Kaiba smirked. "And next time we duel, I'll be the winner for sure."
"Heh, I don't think I'd want to duel Kaiba forever," Yugi said at his place.
"Me neither, then you wouldn't be able to duel with me ever again," Joey added.
-Ishizu: Now I shall use the power of my Millennium Necklace to show you the duel between the pharaoh and your ancestor.-
-Kaiba: Ah! What's going on? Where am I?-
-Priests: Igna chowa neha! Hoona igna chowa neha!-
-Priest Seto: Pharaoh, your reign of tyranny ends now! We demand that you wear a shirt that covers your manly chest! You're making us all look out of shape! – Suddenly, Yugi, Joey, Mokuba, Kaiba, and Ishizu all heard something. But they were unsure of where it came from, or why they heard it.
"Joey, did you just hear something that sounded like a bunch of girls screaming?" Yugi asked.
"I did, not sure why though."
-Priest: Our Pharaoh can wear whatever he wants! He worked hard to get that physique. – "Huh? There's that screaming noise again," Mokuba said.
-Priest Seto: Why don't you marry the pharaoh if you love him so much.-
-Priest: Maybe I will. – "I don't think that's a good idea," Yugi said chuckling.
Ishizu once again shook her head. "What is going on? This video is messing with the past."
-Priest Seto: Blue-Eyes White Dragon, destroy all his monsters!-
-Kaiba: That guy looks just like me. And he has a Blue-Eyes, just like me. And he's an asshole, just like me. – Mokuba turned towards Kaiba, and Kaiba had look up from what he was doing. "Calling me that is just plain childish," he said.
-Kaiba: I must be looking into the distant past. It's just like Eternal Darkness.-
-Priest Seto: Hahaha! Victory is mine!-
-Ishizu: Unfortunately, we will never know who won that fateful duel because their name is hidden by ancient Egyptian spoiler tags. – "…Okay apparently Egypt had spoiler tags way back then," Yugi said chuckling.
Ishizu once again hid her smile and small giggle. She was having a tough time deciding how to take in this video.
-Ishizu: Now do you believe me Kaiba?-
-Kaiba: Since I'm the most skeptical person on the planet, I'm going to say no. I'll be leaving now.-
-Ishizu: Wait Kaiba, don't you want to know about the powerful cards I promised you?-
-Kaiba: You never said anything about powerful cards.-
-Ishizu: Well I meant to. Behold Kaiba, the three Egyptian God cards. Obelisk the Tormentor, Slifer the Executive Producer, and Mega Ultra Chicken. – "MEGA ULTRA CHICKEN!?" Everybody yelled. Yugi and Joey started laughing out loud. Mokuba was also laughing, along with Kaiba.
Ishizu was the only one who wasn't laughing. "That's disrespectful to the Egyptian God cards."
-Kaiba: Mega Ultra Chicken? That's just dumb.-
-Ishizu: It is you who is dumb! – Kaiba rolled his eyes and shook his head.
-Ishizu: Pegasus created them to be the most powerful cards in Duel Monsters.-
-Kaiba: If these cards are so great, why didn't Pegasus use them in season one?-
-Ishizu: Because the writers hadn't thought of them yet. – "Or maybe because Pegasus didn't have them at all," Kaiba said.
-Ishizu: In order to keep them safe, Pegasus entrusted them to me, but then I immediately lost two of them.-
-Kaiba: Way to go. – While Kaiba was laughing at Kaibacorp, Ishizu thought back to the day when Marik stole Slifer and Ra from her. "At least all that is in the past now."
-Ishizu: They were stolen from me by the rare hunters.-
-Kaiba: Rare hunters? Who are they?-
-Ishizu: An elite group of card game enthusiasts who spend their time stealing rare and powerful cards. Kind of like what you did in the first episode, only these guys steal from people who can actually fight back.-
-Kaiba: Yeah whatever. – "Exactly," Kaiba said chuckling.
-Ishizu: Kaiba, if you were to hold a tournament, your reputation would attract the greatest duelists in the world. It would be the biggest concentration of nerds ever assembled outside a Star Trek convention. – "Hey! Who are you calling me a nerd for being a duelist?" Joey yelled, forcing Yugi to calm him down.
Kaiba: I see, so it's a trap. You want to lure the rare hunters to Domino City so that you can get back the Egyptian God cards that you lost like an idiot. Look, can we stop talking like this I'm getting very dizzy. – Kaiba shook his head. "Just watching that started making me dizzy."
"That would be dizzy if I was in the same situation," Yugi said. Joey nodded in agreement.
-Ishizu: Fine.-
-Kaiba: Why should I help you?-
-Ishizu: Because if you do I'll give you this.-
-Kaiba: Can it be? Obelisk the Tormentor!-
-Ishizu: You may borrow this card during the tournament, but I shall expect it back.-
-Kaiba: You do realize I'm just gonna keep this right? I mean there's no way I'd ever return a card this valuable. – Kaiba once again chuckled.
-Ishizu: …Sh*t, I hadn't thought of that. – Ishizu stopped the video. "I wouldn't say anything like that. Do people find that funny?" she asked, her voice sounding upsetting.
Ishizu turned around and saw Marik and Odion heading her way with bags of food. Ishizu sighed. "What was it with that video? Are there more like that?" While some parts did make her laugh, Ishizu saw a lot of disrespectfulness to the past and the present. She decided it wasn't the right time to tell her brothers what she saw. Not yet at least.
-Kaiba: Your psychic powers are surprisingly lame. – Kaiba smirked. "Ain't that the truth," he said thinking back to his duel with her.
-Ishizu: I see everything. I can even see into your future. In ten years you will open a Duelist Academy that teaches children how to play card games, and you will look exactly the same as you do now.-
-Kaiba: Well now I know you're full of crap. – "A school that teaches people how to play Duel Monsters?" Mokuba asked. "That's interesting."
Kaiba paused for a moment. "Hmm, I doubt that will happen. But if it did, how would that affect my company?"
Yugi and Joey were also discussing the possibility. "I mean, it sounds like a good idea. But I'm sure a lot of people could learn how to play just by watching others and learning from their friends. Like how I taught you," Yugi said.
"True, but wouldn't it be something if the next king of games came from a dueling school?" Joey said. Yugi chuckled and nodded in reply.
-Yugi: it's just not fair. I've been in love with Tea for years, but she never even noticed me until you came along. It's you she loves, not me.-
-Yami: What about that Mai Valentine chick? She likes you.-
-Yugi: Eh, she's not my type.-
-Yami: Not your type? Are you blind? Her boobs are bigger than you! – "That is physically impossible," Yugi said turning away from the screen.
-Yugi: You have everything and I have nothing.-
-Yami: That's not true Yugi. You'll always have card games. – Yugi smiled and grabbed the chain of the Millennium Puzzle. Yami always knew what to say at the right time. Joey looked at Yugi and smiled, glad that Yugi had someone like Yami with him.
But then, Joey looked back at the video, and noticed the screenshot that the video was paused on. Something about that screen was sending off red flags in Joey's mind, and he wasn't sure if Yugi noticed what that thing was.
"Uh, Yug," Joey started.
"Something wrong Joey?" Yugi asked.
"…N-Nothing, it's gone now."
Yugi shrugged and continued the video. Joey though was still thinking about what could happen with that one screenshot, and if Yugi found out, how would this affect him?
After all, if it happened with him and Kaiba, it could happen with Yugi and Yami.
-Kaiba: With this children's trading card, I will totally rule the world. Hahahaha! - Kaiba smirked. "Becoming the ruler of Duel Monsters will always be my goal. There's only one thing standing in the way."
"Ruling the world with a card…sounds crazy when it's actually said out loud," Mokuba said with a chuckle.
-Kaiba: Wait, who's driving the car?-
-Mokuba: Hi bro. – "MOKUBA!?" Yugi and Joey yelled before they burst out laughing.
"Wait, it's me!?" Mokuba asked before laughing. "If only I could drive, then I'd take you anywhere Seto."
Kaiba smiled. "I know."
-Kaiba: Mokuba!?-
-Mokuba: I'm your new chauffer. Wee! Vroom! Yeah! *crash* - "Although I'd never drive carelessly like that," Mokuba added.
-[ishizu makes criswell look accurate] – "Now that's saying something right there," Mokuba said. Kaiba looked at the screen and started snickering.
-Yami Marik: Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die. – "I thought it was Marik's evil half that killed his father, not Odoin. That's what Ishizu told us," Joey said.
-Ishizu: I predict that all the jokes you just heard will soon be appearing in somebody else's abridged series. You know the one. – "Man, I hate copycats," Joey said. Yugi nodded in agreement.
"Well, looks like that's it. And it's also time for me to head out," Joey said.
The two teens walked downstairs, where Solomon was looking at some cards. "See ya tomorrow Yug," Joey said as he walked out the door. Yugi smiled and turned towards the stairs.
"Wait Yugi, could you come here for a moment?" Solomon said.
Yugi walked towards him. "What's wrong Grandpa?"
"I was wondering if you could look at these cards. They were acting strange." Solomon said handing Yugi the three cards he was looking at earlier. Yugi took the cards and his eyes widened.
"The Egyptian God cards? What happened with them?"
"Well, I felt some kind of energy coming from them. The cards emitted pulses of energy I've never felt before. If I didn't know any better, they felt like pulses of anger."
Yugi looked back at the cards. "Why would they emit that energy?"
"It gets even stranger. The Obelisk card didn't emit any energy at all. Slifer's card emitted small pulses of anger. But The Winged Dragon of Ra card, I don't think I've ever felt that kind of anger before, and from a card nonetheless."
Yugi then got a realization, and tried hiding the smile that was starting to appear on his face. "Grandpa, I think I know why all that happened."
"Just a wild guess, but does it have something to do with those videos you and your friends watch?" Solomon asked.
"Maybe…" Yugi said trailing off. He gave the God cards back to Solomon and went back upstairs. Solomon chuckled and placed the God cards on the counter.
/
"That was actually pretty funny…mostly," Mokuba said. He shut down the computer. "Well, we better get ready for tomorrow Seto."
Kaiba nodded, and turned towards the computer. "That actually was pretty good."
…Wow, writing for Ishizu is not easy at all, especially in this kind of situation. Looks like she needs more convincing. Maybe once Marik starts watching, he can help her see what the other videos are like. Plus, there's one joke I think Ishizu will like later on.
Ishizu: What makes you say that?
Because shut up! Anyway, I finally finished watching Yu-Gi-Oh 5ds in Japanese. Now I'm on Zexal, which seems to be mixed in the fandom. I've seen both good and bad comments about it. From what I've seen so far, I don't find it that bad. It's never going to top the original, but I still enjoy it. (There was one episode that had all the monsters from the other shows, DM, DMG, BEWD, REBD, Neos, etc.)
English version however… I don't like Yuma's voice; I'll just say that.
Anyways, that's all I have for now, see you all next time!
Next time: Episode 25 – Dirty Dueling. Duel Stand… wait, what episode is next!? OH EFF YES!
