Ah Labor Day weekend, perfect opportunity to finish this chapter. Had a lot of time too since I woke up early a couple days ago due to small tremors we could feel from an earthquake. (Yes, I live in the Midwest, and that's as specific as I'm getting for now).
James95: Hehehehe, enjoy the chapter.
Thedarkpokemaster: Join the gang, they almost died from laughing too.
Ronin warriors fanatic: Why does that episode have to be so far away?
Animu for life: Thank you, enjoy the chapter!
Lord Darth Yoda: Oh it's fine, welcome back! I don't mind either, and yes, the Japanese anime and manga confirm that Yami is a peachshipper.
WingedImpala: I see, that is pretty powerful. Well your welcome, so does Yami so join the club. Go for it, I still have other stories that I'm working on, and every time I post a new chapter, it makes me want to work on those stories. And if you're still struggling, inspiration will come to you in time.
Above the Winter Moonlight: That's one of the best moments from the series, and why the last episode is one of my favorites.
Bunnychu15: (Melvin: Would you like a hug as well?) Hey! Go back to your corner Melvin! I guess we'll have to wait and see, but that is a pretty good theory.
Keiko Braginski: I think I did too, almost.
Zombyra: Well, I do have a life outside of writing, but I'll still try to write as often as possible. Wow, compared to those, Mega Ultra Chicken sounds like a cannon name.
EpicKiya: Same, and I wish there were more moments in the anime where Yami was a dork and just being casual with the gang. That was always something I really liked.
Reydrago: Probably, and that's why that episode is one of my favorites.
Louisa: Alright, if you say you'll be fine, *turns to Jack* you can head back to Yusei, we're fine here. (Jack: IF YOU INSIST!) You can call yourself whatever you want. :)
FANactic Writer: *plays Leather Pants throughout response; sorry, not sorry :p* Yep, one of the best parts of the entire series. If college is prison, then getting good grades must be the biggest crime I've ever committed.
Saffira Artemis: So many funny parts coming up soon! Flip all the cards in your trap card zone, but you're not gonna take my pharaoh's throne!
SuperSaiyanKnight: Well don't worry, Kaiba will be in this chapter. I would… if I was into Harry Potter, which right now, I'm not really. So maybe I would read it in the future, but not now. ^^'
Money100: Are you referring to the song when Tea starts dancing? It's from Napoleon Dynamite, one of my favorite movies!
S Danyal Allen: Oh it will! Enjoy the chapter!
Rittie: I planned that chapter to have revolutionshipping in it since the beginning, but Tristan and Joey are back and ready to watch. I really like Orbital, Haruto, and Kaito, and I really liked Vector before he was revealed to be a Barian (why!?), and lastly, to summarize, the class rep is pretty cool.
SuperNova23: Well thank you, hope you enjoy the chapter! #TeamMystic!
Dragon Goddess: Go Team Mystic! Hey, that episode is coming up soon isn't it? Oh boy, everyone get your theories and conspiracies ready!
Jillian Dever: Heh, I still think the actual series is better than this, but thanks for the compliment.
Skylinemaster: Thank you!
Andrey258: Aww, thank you so much. I will, don't worry!
Sunny Lighter: Yeah, they did at first, but now that they're getting used to it, they find the videos hilarious.
Yami Yugi: Yami, I think you transformed into your abridged self again. Also, best rant ever!
AnimaniAshley: I don't know. Mai is pretty cool, but Mai is just as good. Although I prefer Mai, Mai is cool too.
Miu-nia: Thank you, enjoy the chapter!
Kinoi: Isn't it obvious? I prefer Mai. :p
Itachiforever342: Oh boy, I've been getting that comment a lot. I still think the actual series is better than what I've written. I've seen all the figurines for the movie, and I want them SO BADLY! Dan and Eric are back, which was my only requirement for me to watch the English dub, so here's to 2017! (I love the little bit of the Yugi/Kaiba duel that they voiced over from the movie, especially when Yugi calls Dark Magician his 'dear friend.' SO CUTE!)
Mari: HERE'S THE UPDATE! ENJOY!
Fabulous/Flawless: Well, once I complete a chapter and it's posted, it motivates me to write the next one. I don't like it when I write another chapter when I still haven't posted the previous one, so while that might work for some people, it doesn't for me. ^^' Oh they'll notice, especially Jaden.
Interested: Really? Sometimes, this website just works wonderfully (sarcasm). Keep trying again, and hopefully that problem will get fixed.
RedAgent14: Really? And I thought Yami was just kidding.
TheLoZKing: Don't say that, I hear that being said all the time when Marik and Bakura are around…like now.
LadyRaider92: Yep, Joey gives Yami and Tea some alone time. Actually, it was the whole series, not a specific episode, that inspired this… that, and because I was bored one day :p. I love it when Yami a'dork'able, it's so cute!
Darklaw999: Enjoy the chapter!
I'm getting tired of saying this, but I have to. I am the owner of nothing. Enjoy!
-Abridged series.-
"Mind speaking."
Normal dialogue.
The next video in the series was loading up, at Kaibacorp. After some thought, the Kaiba brothers decided to watch another video. Looking at the list, Kaiba suggested skipping the last video (he could care less about what the nerds did in their free time).
"I wonder what will happen this time?" Mokuba said as he started the video.
/
Across town, the gang was up on the roof at school and Joey was getting the next video ready. "Alright, got it! Time to see what's next."
"Joey, Tristan, if this is going to show more of my day with the pharaoh, you guys probably won't be in it," Tea mentioned.
Joey and Tristan looked at each other. "You're probably right, but that's not going to turn me away," Tristan said.
"Same here. Last night was an exception," Joey added.
"I'm curious as to exactly what happened too, since the pharaoh was in control at that time," Yugi said. Everyone gathered around as the video started.
-Yami: Hey paisanos! It's the Super Yu-Gi-Oh Brothers Super Show! – "…That's what the videos are called now?" Tristan asked.
"I like it, although it's a bit long," Yugi said. "I think I'll stick to 'Abridged'."
-Kaiba: In the four months since the last episode aired, I have created a brand new ultra-efficient technologically advanced Duel Disk System! – "Whoa, someone's excited about his new technology," Tea said giggling.
"Hey Seto, we should have done that when we introduced the duel disk," Mokuba said. Kaiba smirked in reply.
-Kaiba: And that's not all, I also have a sexy new outfit. With these weapons at my disposal, Yugi will be powerless to defeat me. Also I have a God card.-
-Worker 1: Mr. Kaiba, we have prepared the Duel Robot for your ridiculously complicated card game training exercise. – "Hang on, do you mean to tell me this video is focused on Kaiba?" Joey asked a little irritated.
"We haven't even gotten to the intro yet. Maybe something else will happen then," Tea said.
-Mokuba: What's going on Seto?-
-Kaiba: The truth is Mokuba, even a God card can't defeat Yugi Moto. He's a main character. The only way I'll ever have a chance at beating him in a children's card game is by doing something that nobody has ever done. – "Wait, what would that be? You've done pretty much everything," Mokuba said.
-Mokuba: No! Bro, you can't mean you're actually going to…-
-Kaiba: I have to Mokuba. It's the only way. – "This is building up to something. Wonder what though?" Yugi said.
-Mokuba: But it's too dangerous. Nobody's ever tried it and survived. – Now everyone was intrigued to find out what this dangerous thing Kaiba had to do was.
-Kaiba: I know. But I have no choice. I have to actually learn how to play Duel Monsters. – And as the prairie dog clip played, everyone was silent. "…That's the extremely dangerous thing Kaiba has to do…?" Tristan asked in a monotone.
A second after that statement, the gang burst out laughing. At Kaibacorp, it was a different story.
"My brother knows how to play, what's this video talking about?" Mokuba said.
"Just ignore it," Kaiba said a little annoyed.
*title sequence*
-Tea: Oh my God a giant rock! – Yugi and Joey started laughing loudly. "Great, now they got you saying it Tea," Joey said still laughing.
"What are you guys talking about?" Tea asked, with Tristan being just as confused.
"Oh, it's from an earlier video," Yugi said calming down.
-Yami: Yes. Clearly it was my destiny to behold this giant rock.-
-Ishizu: Welcome Pharaoh. I have something very important to tell you.-
-Yami: Does it concern my handsomeness?-
-Ishizu: No. I am Ishizu Ishtar, and I hold all the secrets to your past.-
-Yami: You know the truth of my past? Then tell me, who am I? Why am I here? And why do I feel so very comfortable in leather? – "What?" Yugi said before laughing, "What does leather have to do with the pharaoh's past? …Although he is right about one thing. I do like to wear leather."
-Ishizu: Thousands of years ago, you defeated an ancient evil force that threatened to destroy the world. Now, destiny is about to repeat itself in the Battle City tournament that will determine the fate of the whole universe. And as for the leather pants don't worry. It's just a phase you're going through. You'll soon grow out of it. – "Hey, that's for me to decide, and this phase is lasting for a while," Yugi said arms crossed.
-Yami: That's it? Don't I at least get a flashback?-
-Ishizu: I just spoiled the entire plot of season two. What more do you want?-
-Yami: I demand a flashback!-
-Ishizu: Fine, have your smelly flashback. Behold Pharaoh, as I now reveal onto you the events of the distant past. – "Wait, is the video going to show the pharaoh's past?" Tristan asked.
"I think your right, this might be something the pharaoh should see," Tea added.
-Baby Atem: Wah! Wah! Baby Pharaoh wants milk! Somebody fetch me a nipple! – Nobody spoke. Everyone just sat there in plain silence, trying to comprehend what just happened.
"…I… I don't know where to begin," Joey said slowly.
"I'm pretty sure that's not what happened," Tea said. "And if it was, then that's the deepest voice I've ever heard coming from a baby," she added.
-Ishizu: There, satisfied?-
-Yami: Not really. I was hoping to see something a little later on in my life.-
-Ishizu: Oh, in that case.-
-Soldier: Pharaoh, the thief king's men are killing everybody in the city! What should we do to stop them? – "Huh, this flashback looks more accurate, maybe we'll find out something here," Yugi said. "Maybe the pharaoh should watch it this time."
-Atem: Wah! Wah! Baby Pharaoh wants milk! Somebody fetch me a nipple! – Joey, Tea, and Tristan burst out laughing this time. Yugi just looked at the screen.
"…I take back what I said…" he said slowly.
"Yugi?" Yami asked appearing next to him. "Was there something you wanted me to see?"
"…You know on second thought, never mind." Yami shrugged and retreated back into the puzzle.
-Yami: You're just f*cking with me, aren't you?-
-Ishizu: Indeed I am. – "Ishizu troll confirmed," Joey said snickering.
-Worker 2: Activating the Duel Robot.-
-Robot: Welcome, to the Aperture Science Duel Monsters training program. If you win this children's card game, there will be cake. – "I wouldn't trust that cake Kaiba," Tristan started before everyone else quickly turned their heads towards him. "…What?"
"Please tell me you're not going to reference the most obvious joke with that line," Tea said.
"Why? What's wrong with saying that?"
"Nothing, but it's starting to get old," Tea replied.
Kaiba's attention was now back on the video. He didn't pay much attention to the last scene, as he deemed it complete and utter nonsense. He only cared what happened when it involved him, Mokuba, or the company.
-Kaiba: Engaging my new Duel Disk System!-
-[potential for child injury = very much] – "Injury? No way! We always make sure our equipment is safe for everyone who uses it, especially children," Mokuba said.
"I don't see potential for injury with the duel disk," Yugi said back at the school.
"Unless some freak like Marik or Dartz turns the holograms into real monsters," Joey said.
-Kaiba: I summon Boar Soldier, Hitotsu-Me Giant, Maha Vialo, and… some kind of… evil, zebra-unicorn thing. Seriously, what the hell is that supposed to be? Whatever it is I'll be seeing it in my nightmares. – "…What does he have against Dark Zebra? I don't think it's creepy," Yugi said.
-Robot: Setting two monsters in defense mode.-
-Mokuba: What a digital dummy. The robot gave Seto a huge lead. – "Hey, this video got something right in what I said," Mokuba realized, "…Although, 'digital dummy?' That was kind of stupid for me to say," he adding blushing a little.
-Robot: Now summoning three Blue- Eyes White Dragons.-
-Kaiba: Wait a minute, did you just summon a bunch of monsters in one turn? – "Oh no, here we go again!" Yugi said smiling.
-Robot: Affirmative, so?-
-Kaiba: I thought I designed you to follow the rules as closely as possible.-
-Robot: After analyzing the Duel Monsters rulebook, I concluded that no card game could possibly be so unnecessarily complicated. Therefore, I wiped the rules from my memory.-
-Kaiba: Even the most advanced computer in the world can't figure out this game. – "Wow, that's really saying something right there," Joey said. "That means we know how to play a game that even a computer like that can't learn," he added laughing.
-Mokuba: What a digital dummy.-
-Worker 2: Mr. Kaiba's in serious danger. See? These randomly colored bars indicate danger. Don't you get that? – "Not at all," Tristan said while everyone else was chuckling.
"Huh, that could be hard to understand," Mokuba said, "But I guess we've been in business for so long that we understand pretty much everything."
"Not that I would expect any amateurs to understand our technology," Kaiba added.
-Kaiba: Now I sacrifice my monsters in order to summon Obelisk the Tormentor! – "Rejected? All I'm saying is that if Obelisk was used in the movie, it would actually be satisfying," Joey said reading the caption.
-Kaiba: Go Obelisk! Kill that weird evil unicorn zebra thing! It's really freaking me out! Oh and while you're at it, defeat the Duel Robot as well. – "Hey Kaiba, if you hate that monster so much, then why is it in your deck?" Tristan asked.
"Ha, nice one," Joey said. Yugi and Tea chuckled a little.
-Worker 2: Obelisk's power level is off the charts! The randomly colored bars are going crazy! See? That indicates great power. – "Nope, still don't get it," Tristan said.
-Kaiba: Obelisk! Attack now! Show my Blue-Eyes why you're known as the tormentor!-
-Joey and Tristan: Torment! – Yugi and Tea turned towards Joey and Tristan. "Wow, you guys technically are in the video. I stand corrected," Tea said.
"Ha, we're just too irresistible to not be in one," Joey said.
-Kaiba: The cake is a lie bitch! – Mokuba started laughing, while Kaiba smirked a little.
"I guess even obvious and overused jokes are too irresistible also," Tea said.
-Yami: I feel so troubled.-
-Tea: Don't worry about it Pharaoh. I think you look good in leather pants. – "Okay, what is it with this video and leather pants?" Yugi asked.
-Yami: This goes way beyond leather pants Tea, and I never thought I'd say that. – "I didn't either," Yugi said.
-Yami: Ishizu told me I must enter the Battle City tournament in order to fulfill my destiny and save the world. Do you know what this mean?-
-Tea: No what?-
-Yami: It means the writers are recycling the same tired plot device from season one. Next thing you know, all the old characters will be showing up inexplicably.-
-Mai: Did somebody say 'old characters?'-
-Tea: Why is there a random prostitute running towards us? Oh it's Mai. – "Hey, take that back!" Joey said out loud, before pausing and blushing a little. Joey shied away a little. "I'm just glad she isn't here to see this."
-Yami: What in the name of German alternative rock group Falco are you doing here Mai? – Tea shook her head. "Okay, I'm no expert, but something about that statement doesn't seem right."
"I think you're right," Tristan said.
-Mai: I'm here to compete in the tournament that was announced about five minutes ago.-
-Yami: How very convenient. But I wonder who could be behind all of this? It must be somebody with lots of money.-
-Tea: Maybe it's Tristan. – "No way, I could never put together something as huge as Battle City," Tristan said. "I don't even know too much about Duel Monsters."
Kaiba rolled his eyes. "I doubt those nerds have enough money to even function properly."
-Yami: No not Tristan.-
-Tea: Um, Joey? – Kaiba perked up. "Thatworthless mutt couldn't even find his way out of an empty room. No way he could organize something like a tournament."
-Yami: Getting warmer.-
-Kaiba: Surprise it's me.-
-Tea: Wow, I totally didn't see that coming. – "Really?" Tea asked.
-Kaiba: Hello all you Domino City dweebs. (Kaiba let out a laugh) As you're well aware by now, my revolutionary new Battle City tournament will be starting in a few episodes. So you don't have much time to get yourself a brand new Duel Disk System! (trademark) – "Oh I don't think anyone's planning on stealing his idea anytime soon," Yugi said. "But still, pretty funny."
-Kaiba: And by the way, everybody competing will be forced to follow the official Duel Monsters rulebook.-
-Yami: Well rock me Amadeus! That's the first real plot twist this shows ever had. – "Only because Duelist Kingdom used the old rules," Tea said.
-Mai: I don't know which is bigger. His face on the big screen or my boobs.-
-Yami: Your boobs. – Tea looked at Joey and caught him…looking at something on the screen. She sighed and… knocked some sense into him, so to speak.
-Kaiba: Behold, my Kaibacopter (trademark). – "Trademark? All he did was add 'Kaiba' to helicopter, and that's just a normal helicopter he's flying," Joey said.
-Yami: Kaiba! He looks almost ridiculous as me now. – Kaiba paused and looked down at his outfit. He sighed and shook his head.
-Kaiba: Don't forget to register and pick up your Duel Disk, because exactly one week from to-AAH my finger! – "AGH!" Everybody yelled as the finger flew off. Yugi, Joey, and Tristan were holding to their fingers. Tea covered her eyes from the video. "Disgusting," she said.
Mokuba jerked back and quickly closed the window. "Okay, I think I'm done with this one." Kaiba was done also, he got up and left the room.
-Kaiba: It came clean off! Somebody call an ambulance! Mokuba can't you fly this helicopter properly!?-
-Mokuba: Sorry bro. – "So he got upgraded from driving a limo to flying a helicopter. I don't think he should let that kid drive," Joey said.
-Yami: What a digital dummy.-
As the music played, Tristan perked up. "Oh wait, now I remember. He's Australian, not German."
-[anyone got a spare finger they're not using?] – "Nope, I'm keeping all of mine," Yugi said. Everyone else nodded along.
-Keith: Tim, they got your wife!-
-Bonz: But I'm not married!-
-Keith: You are now, to America! – "Huh, I would think Bandit Keith would be the one who was married to America," Joey said.
-Baby Atem: Wah! Wah! Baby Pharaoh went doody in his diaper, and where the hell is that nipple!? – "That's still kind of disturbing," Yugi said.
"Wait, if that prairie dog was used in the movie… eh, I still prefer Obelisk," Joey said.
"Well, that one was surely interesting," Tea said.
"I still couldn't believe all the talk about leather pants. Are they becoming popular and I just don't know it? Heh, next thing you know, they'll make a song about leather pants."
Sorry, not sorry :D
Marik: Curse you PD! Get this song out of my head!
Nope, now you'll be out of my way while I write the next chapter. (bleh, this chapter was tough)
Yami Bakura: Marik, I think we should use this to our advantage.
Marik: Right Bakura. Where's the pharaoh with his stash?
…Okay that backfired. Better go find Yami before the lovers find him.
Marik and Bakura: HEY!
(Also a disclaimer, I have nothing against the whole 'cake is a lie' meme. Tea though…)
Next time: Episode 27- She Blinded Me With Card Games. Duel Standby!
