In the World of Yu-Gi-Oh Chapter 3
"Mr. Pegasus, they are awake. Should I send them out now?" The Bodyguard said.
"We'll give them until noon..." Pegasus said, sipping his drink and reading his favorite cartoon.
"Ah, what a beautiful morning!" Joey yelled jumping out of his tent.
"A beautiful morning for a duel," Danny said, throwing food to everyone.
"Aren't you hungry, Dan?" Téa asked.
"No, I don't eat breakfast. I eat when I have to, not when I want to," Danny responded.
"You could learn a thing or two from him," Yugi said to Joey, who had already finished his.
"Uh... can I get your share then, Danny?" Joey asked anxiously. Danny laughed and threw a bag with a hotdog inside to him.
"Sweet!" Joey yelled, gobbling it up.
"Where are you going?" Téa asked Danny who was walking away.
"Oh, just out to get some practice," Danny said.
"Practice on what?" Téa asked, but Danny was too far-gone to hear. After a while, they got tired of waiting for Danny.
"Where is he? I gotta go get more chips!" Joey whined.
"Maybe we should look for him... he could be hurt..." Yugi said.
"Yea, it's almost 11:30 and he's been gone for almost 3 hours!" Téa said, looking at her watch. They took Danny's things and looked around for Danny, following footprints or any clues that would lead to his whereabouts.
"Get your dirty hands off me!" they heard a familiar voice yell.
"Is that who I think it is?" Tristan said. They quickly ran towards the voice they heard and found Danny fighting off a couple of Pegasus' Henchmen.
"That's it!" Danny yelled, unleashing a huge beam of energy from his body and knocking them off their feet. "That's what I thought!"
"Danny! Behind you!" Yugi yelled, who saw a couple of men sneaking behind Danny for a surprise attack.
"Yugi? What are you guys doing--- AHH!" Danny said, a bit distracted. One of the guys slammed Danny to the ground as the other put, what looked like metal gloves, oh his hands.
"Now your coming with us. Mister Pegasus set up a special match for you," the man said. With something blocking his hands, he was unable to break out.
"Hey! Let go of him you creeps!" Joey and Tristan yelled and, their attacks, all blocked. Without a fighting chance, they decided to follow them instead. They dragged Danny down to a small graveyard/garden in front of the castle.
"What the hell do you want?!" Danny yelled as Pegasus stepped out of the castle.
"I want a battle, what else?" Pegasus said with that smug confident tone in his voice.
"Aw yea, I've been waiting forever to take you on," Danny said, rubbing his hands as they took off the gloves.
"Oh silly boy," Pegasus said, laughing to himself, "I'm not the one you're fighting."
"Then who---" Danny began to say, but then the floor shook as an arena popped out from underneath his legs. On the opposite side of him, there was a figure of 2 people dressed in funny clothing and had masks on.
"These are your opponents!" Pegasus yelled.
"Oh wow, a 2 on 1. How fair is that?" Joey yelled.
"Don't worry about it Joey! I have this handled," Danny said, pulling his deck case from out of his pocket and shuffling his deck.
"Good luck..." the male said.
"You'll need it," the woman said.
"Right back at you!" Danny yelled. "For my first move, I'll play Battle Ox in attack mode and one faced down card!"
"And we play Wall of Illusion in Defense!" they yelled, throwing the card down.
"First I draw, and then I will play Mystic Horsemen and Fuse him with Battle Ox, creating Rabid Horsemen!" Danny yelled. "And now, we attack!"
Rabid Horsemen ran up to Wall of Illusion and sliced him in half.
"We play Labyrinth Tank and destroy your Rabid Horsemen!" they yelled, drawing the card and firing at my Rabid Horsemen. The score was now 2000 on 1600, them.
"Then I will play a card face down in defense and another card face down!" Danny yelled. He picked up a card and smiled and ended his turn.
"We will attack with Labyrinth Tank!" they yelled, destroying my Witch of The Black Forest.
"Now that you have destroyed that witch, I can look through my deck for a monster with a defense less than 1500!" Danny yelled, looking through his deck. Danny found his card, shuffled through it, and drew another card.
"I send out Summoned Skull and attack your Labyrinth Tank!"
"We'll play a monster card face down and another card face down."
"I'll play one monster in defense face down and attack your face down card."
"The face down monster was Electric Lizard and paralyzes your Summoned Skull for two turns! Now we play Judge Man and attack your face down card!"
"And you have fallen for his effect, the effect of Man Eater Bug, which destroys your Judge Man! For my turn, I draw," Danny said, drawing a card. "I play this card face down in defense and end my turn.
"We play Gyakutenno Megami and attack your face down card!" they yelled.
"Not strong enough! My face down card was Pumpking, the King of Ghosts! And you just lost 200 life points for your foolish attack. Now I play Castle of Dark Illusion and Dragon Zombie, increasing his attack every turn by 300 attack and defense points but I'll attack with Summoned Skull!" Summoned Skull destroyed Megami." They lost 700 points. They points were now 1100 to 1800, Danny.
"Why don't you just give up now? Who are you anyway?" Danny yelled.
"You would like to know, wouldn't you?" they said. "Well then, I guess we'll just have to reveal who we are."
They threw off their gowns and their masks. What Danny saw shocked him out of his mind.
"What wrong Danny?" Téa asked.
"That must be....." Yugi thought.
"What? Surprised Danny? Why, when Mr. Pegasus told us what a good job you've been doing, we just had to come back and teach you a lesson," they said.
"It's.... my parents," Danny said, dropping his cards onto the deck.
"Oh yes, did I mention what happens when, or rather if, you win? If you win, you get one wish that I am able to grant and also, the person you're facing, your parents, will be destroyed," Pegasus said.
"And if he loses?" Yugi asked.
"He loses his life and his Millennium Item," Pegasus said smiling.
"How can I destroy my own parents?" Danny asked himself silently.
"Let's go!" Danny's Parents yelled. They threw out Launcher Spider and a magic card, sword and shield. The defense was swapped with the attack points and their Launcher Spider now had 2500 attack points!
"Oh no! Danny!" Yugi yelled. If he attacked, he would wipe out Danny's life points.
"We attack your Dragon Zombie!" they yelled.
"An-an-and I play Waboku, which renders your attack to nothing," Danny said nervously. "Now it's my turn. I draw and then I turn all my monsters to defense. I then play Change of Heart, sending your monster to my side. Next I play the magic card, Ring of Magnetism so that you can only attack him. My final move is Cannon Solider and I use his effect and sacrifice Pumpking to cause 500 direct damage to your life points!"
Our life points were now 600 to 1800, Danny still.
"We'll play Black Hole, destroying every monster on the field!" they yelled. "Now we play Boar Soldier in attack mode!"
"And I draw," Danny said, drawing his next card.
"Ookazi!" Yugi thought. "That does 800 direct damage to their life points! If he plays it, the game is over!"
"I'll play this card in defense and end my turn," Danny said weakly.
"Huh? Why didn't he play Ookazi?" Joey whispered to Tristan.
"Would you doom your family?" Tristan asked.
"We'll attack!" they yelled, destroying Yadu Karu.
"Danny, you must finish this!" Yugi yelled.
"How could you ask me to kill my parents?" Danny said back.
"These people are not your parents! They are imposters! Show us your real face!" Yugi, or rather Yami Yugi, said, pointing at the adults. Their faces shattered and this ugly gruesome monster appeared.
"What are they?" Danny asked.
"They are your parents Dark Sides, at least their old dark sides, pulled out from the shadow realm," Yugi said.
"You are very correct there, Yugi-boy," Pegasus said.
"Finish it!" Tristan and Joey yelled. Danny threw down Ookazi and the evil souls' life points burst into flames, as well as the creatures.
"Well done there Danny, well done indeed," Pegasus said, clapping and walking towards Danny as the Arena lowered. Pegasus stuck out his arm, expecting a friendly hand shake, but Danny lifted up Pegasus by his collar, his feet dangling in the air.
"If you do that ever again, I swear, I will send you to the shadow realm the hard way!!" Danny growled. Pegasus' guards surrounded Danny.
"Put me down," Pegasus growled back. Danny dropped Pegasus, who landed smack on his ass.
"Now, here is what I want: I want part of your company, the Duel Monsters Corp. The rest you can keep. If you want to produce cards, or any other thing involving the company, you ask me," Danny said.
"Whoa! That's one smart wish," Joey said, amazed.
"And now I leave. Yugi, Joey, if any of you wish to talk with me... actually, I'll know," Danny said. "I'll see you later."
Danny opened up a portal and teleported at his home.
"Oh, and by the way, keep the food," Danny said, poking his head out of the portal and then leaving and closing it. It would take a few days for Pegasus to tell the company that there was a new manager now, and so, the nightmare ended, although money cannot solve everything.
