Chapter 1
A Merciless Sea
Yugi Mutoh leaned over the railing,letting the cool sea breeze whirl gently through his long red hair. It had been three days since Maxamillian Pegasus came into his life. It was because of that insane fool that he was here,on this ship,about to enter this Duel Monsters tournament.
Yugi looked up at the sky. The horrible images of the past three days ran through his head;Pegasus challenging him to a duel,the loss,how Pegasus used some sort of evil magic to steal the soul of Yugi's grandfather,and the invitation to this tournament on Duelist Kingdom.
Yugi shook his head to remove the thoughts from his head. The thought of his grandfather's capture still gave him a lump in his throat. He went to one of the chairs that were placed on the deck and sat down. He took off his backpack and pulled out a shiny gold box. This box originally held the Millenium Puzzle that his grandpa gave him,which he now wore around his neck. He now used it to carry his Duel Monster cards.
He opened the box and looked through his cards. He saw his Swords of Revieling light magic card,his favorite card,the Dark Magician,and,the cards that saved one of his duels,the five pieces of Exodia.
"Hey,Yug'!"someone behind him said. Yugi jumped and turned around. It was Joey,Yugi's best friend who had been inside trading with the other duelists. Joey wouldn't have been in this tournament if Yugi hadn't decided to put himself at a disadvantage by giving him one of his Star Chips,which allowed him access onto the ferry.
"Hey,Joey."Yugi answered.
"I got some cool card tradin' in."
"Hey,let me see!"Joey handed his friend the four cards that he recieved in the trading. Yugi looked at them with interest.
"Salamandra,Kuni with Chain,Baby Dragon,and Shield and Sword! Great! With these,you'll have a really strong deck!"
"I guess that means I'm ready to beat anybody!"Joey exclaimed,cocky as usual. Yugi laughed.
"I think you'll find it's a lot harder then that,Joey. Here,"Yugi reached into his box and pulled out a card;the Time Wizard,"Add this to your deck. It can be useful in a tight spot."Joey took the card and looked at it.
"Thanks. I can't get over how you're always helpin' me out."he said. Yugi smiled. Suddenly,a voice behind them made them both jump.
"Ah,we meet again,Yugi."Yugi whipped around and saw one of the other duelists,Weevil.
Weevil won the last Duel Monster competition,and when Yugi met him inside,he said he looked foreward to facing the young boy in a duel.
"Did you trade for any good cards,Yugi?"he asked. His voice was scratchy and annoying.
"Nah."Yugi answered,pleasent as always,"I'm going to use the cards I brought with me."
"I suspected as much. You used Exodia to beat Kaiba didn't you?"Yugi nodded. Kaiba was one of Yugi's classmates,and he once chalenged Yugi to a duel,and Yugi won at the last minute by using the five Exodia pieces he luckily drew.
"Those are the strongest cards in all of Duel Monsters!"
"And very rare!"Yugi exclaimed. Weevil started trembling,as if excited about something.
"Could...I possibly...see those legendary cards?"Weevil asked,a tremor of excitement in his voice.
"I don't see why not. Just be careful with them,ok?"Yugi opened his box again and pulled out the five special cards. Weevil took them with trembling hands and looked at them with utter awe.
"So these are the cards to summon Exodia? For years I have tried to figure out a strategy to beat this legendary monster,but I could never find one."Weevil's eyes suddenly grew a mysterious glint,"Until just this moment..."he began to back away to the railing. Yugi's eyes widened. He knew what was going to happen. He ran and tried to grab his cards back,but it was too late.
"Say goodbye to Exodia!"Weevil laughed like a maniac as he dropped the five cards over the railing and walked away,still laughing.
"No!"Yugi leaned over the edge and watched helplessly as his cards drifted away into the sea,"Those were the Exodia cards that my grandpa gave me!"
"I'll get 'em!"Joey yelled as he threw off his jacket and climbed over the railing.
"No,Joey,don't! They're not worth drowning over!"it was too late. Joey jumped into the sea and began to swim after the cards.
"Joey,come back! The current is too strong!"Joey was deaf to Yugi's frantic yells. He was determined to get the cards. He reached out and grabbed a card. That was his second;three more to go. Suddenly,a large wave knocked him underwater.
"Joey!"Yugi yelled,then jumped into the water himself. He dove underwater and franticly looked for Joey,still caught under the surface. The salty water stung his eyes,but he kept them open. He saw Joey,floating unconcious to the bottom. Yugi swam and grabbed Joey in one arm and kicked to the surface. There he stopped to catch his breath,doing his best to hold Joey's head above the water.
"YUGI!"the voice was coming from the ship. Yugi looked back,and saw a rope ladder being lowered from the side of the ferry. He looked up,and saw Tea and Tristen,two of his other friends who had apparently snuck on board without him knowing.
"Grab hold! Hurry!"Tea called. Yugi began to swim toward the ladder,but another wave knocked him off coarse.
"C'mon Yugi!"Tristen climbed down the ladder and reached his hand out. Yugi swam as hard as he could,his arm aching from Joey's weight. Finally he reached Tristen,who grabbed Joey. He tried to grab the ladder himself,but yet another wave swept him a few feet back.
"Yugi!"Tea screamed. Tristen climbed up and handed the unconcious Joey to Tea,then climbed back down for Yugi.
"C'mon!"he called to his friend,"You can make it,buddy! Swim! Swim hard!"Yugi swam as hard as he could,but the current was strong. His muscles were screaming in agony.
"You're almost there! Grab my hand! You can do it!"Yugi struggled to reach for Tristen's hand,but another wave struck. He was pulled underwater,and knew nothing more.
"YUGIIIIII!"Tristen called several times. Nothing. Yugi was nowhere to be seen. He sighed and climbed back up the ladder. Tea was knelt on the floor,holding Joey. She could tell from the look in her friend's eyes what had happened. Yugi was swept away.
A faint moan broke the awkward silence. Tea and Tristen turned their attention to Joey. He was waking up.
"Y-Yugi..."he uttered as he opened his eyes.
"Take it easy,Joey."Tea held Joey down.
"Where's Yugi?"There was a silence. Tea and Tristen looked at each other,then sighed and told Joey what happened.
The next morning,on a small uncharted island,a small boy was playing with his pet dog on the beach. Laughing and running,he threw the ball they were playing with,then stopped suddenly as he saw something in the distance.
To be continued...
BTW:I know nealy everyone knows what happened before Yugi got on the ferry to Duelist Kingdom. I just felt the need to explain what's happening. I do it a lot in my fanfictions. Let me know if I made any spelling errors.
