Konnichiwa! Draconmouth speaking. This chapter is one I would like to call
state-of-the art! Or one of my favorites in short.
Joey (appearing): I don't think so. It didn't even show one of my duels, and hey! (gets
caught on fire and disappears)
Draconmouth (smiling evilly): I love Authoress powers.
Casey (appearing): You want me to do the disclaimer?
Draconmouth (nodding): Please.
Casey: Draconmouth does not own Yugioh! Kazuki Takahashi does, with the copyright!
Although I wish Draconmouth did, since-
Draconmouth: Don't give away anything yet! Now, ON WITH THE FIC! ****************************************************************** I found out that Yami had also read my rulebook, so we would play by those
rules. I started by playing one card facedown and Kuribo in defense mode (Don't ask! I
don't know how it winded up in a Kaiba starter!). I would win this duel if he fell for my
trap. But no such luck. Yami played dust Tornado, and used Celtic Guardian (1400/1600)
to destroy my Kuribo. I dejectedly put it in the monster graveyard. So much for Crush
Card. But Yami told me he was expecting that. Then I played Battle Ox (1700/1800 [
AN: just guessing!] and lowered his life points to 1700. (Even though we were playing by
TCG [the card game] rules, the life point's count was still at 2000.) But I was in trouble
when he played Dark Magician (2500/2100), and I was at 800 life points. For no sudden
reason, I began thinking, Come on, Heart of the Cards. Please don't let me down. I
looked down and saw that I had drawn Blue Eyes White Dragon. "All right!" I
exclaimed. "I play Blue Eyes White Dragon (3000/2500), and I attack your Dark
Magician." Yami lost 500 life points, and he said that I'm a true duelist. The life points
were like this:
Yugi: 1200
Me: 800
I should have known that Yugi was planning something. "I summon Buster
Blader (2600/2500[AN: I'm guessing on what Buster Blader's defense is! Email me if I
got it wrong} in attack mode! For every dragon in the field or in the graveyard, Buster
Blader gets 500 more attack points." "I'm ahead of you", I replied glumly as I put my
Blue Eyes in the graveyard. My life points were down to 700. "Then I play Mystical Elf
(800/2000) in defense mode and one card facedown. Then I end my turn", Yami
concluded. I drew Graceful Charity, which allowed me to draw three cards, but discard
two. I had almost all of the card I needed. "I play Lord of Dragons in defense mode
(1200/1100) [AN: Again I'm just guessing!] and then use Flute of Summoning Dragons
to summon my two other Blue Eyes in defense mode!" Yami was looking at his hand. A
smile formed on his face. "I call on Summoned Skull (2500/2300 [guessing on defense!]
and I play Makiu the Magical Mist. This will raise Summoned Skull's attack points to
3250, and I attack your left Blue Eyes" I put it in the graveyard, then I drew my card.
Defense Paralysis. Perfect. I played it, then used my last Blue Eyes to attack his Mystical
Elf. It would do enough damage to win me the duel. But I wasn't counting on his
facedown card: Mirror Force. It destroyed all my monsters, and I was attacked directly.
"Fine", I sighed as I put my cards and dueling mat, "I'll tell you everything. But, Yami,
can you switch back to Yugi?" Yami looked at me in a confused way, but changed. We
walked upstairs, and I began to talk.
"So in your world I'm just a TV show?" Yugi asked me as we talked in his room.
It wasn't too bad, I had to admit. It looked even cooler in reality than it was on the show.
I nodded. "My brother occasionally watches it with me. It came from the original
Japanese version of Yugioh! that was based on manga written by Kazuki Takahashi. I
read a translated version, and believe me, Yami scared me." I shuddered. "At least he
didn't scare me that much until I found a manga scan where Kaiba tried to steal your
grandfather's Blue Eyes White Dragon, and Yami played a Shadow Game with him
where the monsters were real. Kaiba didn't invent holograms yet. Yami won because of
the Blue Eyes faith in his grandfather. It destroyed itself, and then Yam played Monster
Reborn, and got it back. Then Kaiba was sealed in the world of Duel Monsters. Only it
was called Magic and Wizards back in there. I found a website that compares both the
Japanese and English episodes. On Fanfiction.net, there are some fan fictions of what
might happen, and some are just plain stupid." I stifled a laugh. "Some are truth and dare
fics. Of course, most have been banned do to flames. I personally thought some of them
were funny, but also a bit insulting. One fan fic shows the Japanese watching the English
version, and let's say they weren't too pleased. It was funny, though." I laughed, and
Yugi did, too. Then he asked me if I knew what was coming since I had watched ahead of
this. "Yes, but it wouldn't be fair on your part. Or whoever stole your Millennium Puzzle.
So I'm keeping quiet." "A good choice", Yugi agreed. Then I saw Yami in transparent
form, and he said, "I had a feeling you were hiding something when you called me Yami,
since not many people do so." I nodded. "Wish that I had stayed in one place", I sighed,
leaning on the wall. Then Dad appeared. All three of us jumped. "Dad! What are you
doing here?" I exclaimed. Yugi and Yami looked at me, and both my father and I
explained. "I just hope I don't change anything here for our new enemy's favor." Yugi
thought hard. "It might be coincidence", he suggested. I shrugged. "Whatever. I'm going
to bed."
The next day I woke up early enough to walk with Yugi to Battle City. We
walked around and saw Mai. Then Rex Raptor, Weevil Underwood, and Mako Tsunami
appeared. Mako, Weevil, and Rex started fighting, and Mai, Yugi, and I just stared at
them. Yugi and I walked on a roof of a building, worried about Joey. Then Kaiba showed
up on a screen on a blimp, and he stated the basic rules, and all, and still being mean
about it. He then said he was going to participate in it himself and was targeting on
duelist. Yugi and I said, "You're on." I really would've strangled him, except that he was
on a screen, and I knew that he was a good fighter. Then he announced with a flourish,
"Let the tournament begin!" Yugi and I finally spotted Joey on the streets challenging a
hooded guy next to a laptop to a rematch, or so we heard as we came running towards
him. "What's going on, Joey?" Yugi asked. Joey explained that this was the Rare Hunter
that took his Red Eyes. Yugi got a sudden look of recognition on his face. Then the Rare
Hunter challenged Yugi to a duel, and naturally, Yugi accepted. I saw Yugi transform
into Yami in one second. Joey didn't want Yugi to risk his Dark Magician, and I joined in
with him. But Yami said he would win Joey's Red Eyes back. Throwing off his cape, the
Rare Hunter warned Joey not to tell Yugi (or Yami, technically) if his strategy or his Red
Eyes would be torn up. "That's unfair!" I argued, then remembered I wasn't supposed to
know about this. They both activated their duel disks. Halfway through, Joey couldn't
take it anymore, and tried to warn him. But Yami said that Joey mustn't reveal the Rare
Hunter's strategy. Then he realized the Rare Hunter must have an Exodia deck. I thought,
Took him long enough. Things began to look bad, though, when the Rare Hunter played
Swords of Revealing Light. This would stop Yami for three turns. But Yami managed to
turn the duel around with his Chain Destruction and Dust Tornado. Then reviving one of
his monsters, he won the duel in one blow. "All right!" I cheered as Yami retrieved the
Red Eyes Black Dragon and a locator card. Then he noticed ink coming off of the cards,
and realized these cards were marked. He ripped them and threw the pieces in the air.
"Good riddance", I complimented. All of a sudden the Rare Hunter got up, muttering,
"Don't be angry with me, please forgive me." He held his head and screamed. Yami and
Joey were mystified. Then a Millennium Eye symbol began glowing on the man's
forehead, and when he spoke, it was mixed with another voice. "Remember me, Pharaoh?
I suppose not, since you were stuck in the Millennium Puzzle and little Yugi was
dueling." It was Marik, and he introduced himself and all of that. Then the man collapsed
after all of that was said. Yami then tried to give Joey back his Red Eyes, but Joey said he
wouldn't take it. He said that he would win it from Yugi when he became a True Duelist.
Funny that I had never heard that on the show, but I guess they changed it because they
wanted to modulate the show's theme of friendship. I guess this wasn't a perfect
dimension of the show. Then the three of us spilt up: me with Yugi, and Joey on his own.
I had to laugh as I knew who Joey would be dueling next. I was just worried about who
Yugi's next opponent was.
