This is my brother's story. My brother's inspiration for this was one
magical thing that controlled the very power of the universe: boredom. And
an addiction to "Yu-Gi-Oh!". So flames will be laughed at, thrown down the
gutter, burned to ashes despite being soaked from being in the gutter, then
sent to my brother, where it will be so illegible, he will laugh too!
*insert diabolical and insane laughter*
*all reviewers stare with burning hatred in their eyes*
....And on with the story!
Disclaimer: I don't own any characters from "Yu-Gi-Oh!", none of the offspring from it like the card game, and I don't own the show. SO BACK OFF YOU BLOOD-THIRSTY LAWYERS!!! However, I do own Lisa Light(will be introduced later), Rick Boulder(will be introduced even later), and T.J. Ember(he's crazy, and will be introduced later). And...maybe some of "Yu-Gi- Oh!". Hey...what are you guys doing? Back off! NUUUUUUUUU!!! I'll kill you all! Every last one of you!!! Wait! I don't own anything from "Yu-Gi-Oh!"! Are you happy!? Lawyer: Actually, you're still going to court for wasting our time. Crap. Btw, bid a fond farewell to too much comedy in the future. My stern brother doesn't want me to screw it up. *mumbling* Jerk. Uh-oh. Maybe I shouldn't have typed that on HIS story...crap again.

Prologue: This story takes place after the defeat of Pegasus by Yugi. All was well again, obviously because they didn't have to worry about a soul- sucking, long-haired, girly-looking freak of nature on the loose. But they had to admit, no good duels were really going on. And Seto was still pretty angry at Yugi for defeating him. But like any great duelists, they were invited to compete in a tournament. A very special one, though. The Intercontinental duel monsters tournament, where the champion of the world would be decided. Only the top 8 duelists, 7 qualifying duelists and the reining world champion, were allowed to compete. They both went without hesitation. Both easily made it through the qualifying rounds and are ready to duel to the top. Yugi came for fun. Seto came to humiliate Yugi in front of the world and defend his title. The match they fought awhile back was unofficial. But the tournament is harder than it sounds. Several revered duelists have shown up for this tournament, seeking to claim the title of 'World Champion'. Does Yugi have what it takes to win? Or will Seto win the day?
(Why else would they be there? To have frothy milkshakes and cheer Yugi on?) [You're ruining the drama! Just don't do this during the story.] (Can I have an axe then?) [..Fine.] (Really?) [Yes, really.] (Really, really?) [Yes, really!] (Really, re-*is cut off by bandana shoved in mouth) [You will be murdered in your sleep.] (*pulls bandana out of mouth* No matter how many times you say that, you never follow through! You're so lazy! I had to type this fic for you, ya know!) [*sighs* And now on with the story.]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- Chapter 1: In the Spotlight
Yugi Muto was renowned across the world for his victory over Seto Kaiba. It was no surprise that such a large audience came to see Yugi compete in the world tournament. He was a little nervous to duel in front of so many spectators at first, but he kept reminding himself that his friends were with him to cheer him on. He was sitting and waiting in the preparation area, talking with his friends, and his recently recovered grandpa. They all were there to support him.
"Don't worry Yug', you're like the best duelist I know. You even sent Kaiba off with his tail between his legs! Something he did to me on the island,: Joey said, while drifting off remembering his defeat. Kaiba beat Joey with three monsters alone, and barely lost any life points in the process of humiliating him. Joey was one to take losses pretty hard when they were serious.
"Joey, we're supposed to be helping Yugi, not giving you sympathy. Can't ya just let go of that already?" Tristan always was one to rain down on Joey. He turned to face Yugi. "Even if Kaiba is in this tournament, you'll take him out! Just don't get too over-confident."
"Yeah, but I saw the tournament listings. You won't have to face him until the finals. And he may not even make it there. I know you can, though. All these other people will kinda be like a warm-up! Just try your best," Tea said enthusiastically. She was probably the exact opposite of Tristan, always there to support her friends. Not to say Tristan is a jerk or something. Joey shook out of his trance when he heard that.
"You hear that Yugi? You won't even have to face Kaiba until the last match! And like Tea said, maybe he won't make it there." Joey was starting to be his old self again. His over-confident self. Tristan got a stern look on his face.
"If someone does beat him, it means that whoever it is will be even tougher than him." Joey started to search his slightly below average brain for a comeback.
"Uh...what if he just slips up in a duel or something? Then Yugi won't have a problem.right? Right?" Everyone let out a deep sigh, and for once, Yugi spoke up.
"Kaiba is an expert player. The odds of him slipping up are about the same as all of us being fried by lightning at the same time." Everyone gave a small chuckle, as they knew Yugi didn't make jokes everyday. He's a bit on the shy side. His grandpa was the last one to give his support, although all the others did was to make Yugi think about facing a duelist more powerful than Kaiba, so he technically was the only one to actually support Yugi.
"Remember, Yugi," he began, "do not feel pressured to win. We'll all think of you as a champion whether or not you win some silly tournament."
"I know grandpa. I'm still relieved to have you safe and back with us." Yugi hugged his grandpa, and shortly afterwards Joey and Tristan both gave Yugi a high-five. Tea bent down a few inches and gave Yugi a hug too.
Having given their support to Yugi, they all had to leave as the announcements of who fought who were being given soon. That left him to prepare his deck for the following matches. He was thinking about his strategies for the matches, and put in one last touch. The Time Wizard he had given to Joey. Of course, Joey had no use for it now, since he wasn't even in the tournament, so he gladly gave it back for now. As he was getting up, who else but Seto Kaiba was standing right before him. Yugi knew Kaiba saw him put the Time Wizard card in.
"Crap. You didn't see anything, did you?" Yugi knew, but was at least hoping against it.
"Oh, of course I didn't see you put that Time Wizard into your deck." Yugi sighed with relief. "OF COURSE I DID!"
"You yell an awful lot. Well Kaiba, I hope we face eachother in the finals. Just make sure not to be defeated before I get a chance to beat you."
"Hmph. Funny, I was just about to say the same thing to you. I'll make it to the finals, and you better too. A chance for us to duel eachother. No tricks, no technology in my favor. Just you and us. An honorable duel."
"Fine with me. May the best man win." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- (Yay! We're doomed!) [What are you talking about?] (Well, when people find out you'll skip some duels, they'll be awfully mad.) [They sucked in those duels. It was pretty much total annihilation.] =Oh, and make sure to review!= (I still have an axe!) [*sighs, again* Ignore him.] (You can't silence the truth, man!) =It'll take three reviews to continue this story.= (Or we get a chapter with me dancing in a monkey suit!) [Trust me. He actually.]
*all reviewers stare with burning hatred in their eyes*
