Sorry for keeping you all waiting so long. First, to Melody: Thank you,
thank you, thank you! I know what story you're talking about. Now back to
business.
As a reward for your patience, we have 2 chapters up in this story, and
there actually is a duel! So here comes the next chapter.
Disclaimer: Why does everyone do disclaimers every chapter? Just say "read the first chapter's disclaimer" to save some time. Oh, and read last chapter's disclaimer.

Summary: Yugi and Kaiba have both advanced to the quarter-finals of the tournament with great ease. Yugi was very surprised at this since these were supposed to be the world's finest. Kaiba, on the other hand, was quite the opposite, and expected this to happen right from the start. Only 8 duelists remained in the tournament, and only 2 matches separated Kaiba and Yugi from fighting eachother.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------- Chapter 2: Preparations
The competition reached the quarter-finals, leaving Yugi slightly curious why it was so easy to reach this point in the tournament. Even without the power of his Millennium Puzzle, he was still able to defeat most of his opponents using simple attacks from his monsters. He could barely remember the last time he had to activate a trap, or use a magic card. The only time was when his Summoned Skull was destroyed and he used Monster Reborn to bring it back and finish the match. He felt bad when he saw the shock on that kid's face when he had to use everything he had to topple Yugi's monster, only to have one card finish the match afterwards. He shook it off and read the listings for the quarter-final matches:
Yugi Muto VS Lisa Light
Rebecca Hawkins VS Rick Boulder
Mai Valentine VS T.J. Ember
Seto Kaiba VS Weevil Underwood
Yugi recognized a few of the duelists. Mai and Mako were good friends with him, and there was Weevil, the one who took his Exodia cards and threw them out to sea. It didn't bother him too much now, since with his grandpa back, he didn't need the cards to remember him by. But it still was a big loss.
Yugi would have to face a girl named Lisa for his next match. In the resting area, he got one last chance before the final rounds to speak to his friends. Joey couldn't help but taunt the duelists Yugi had already faced.
"What's with those guys? They suck at dueling!" Joey said in a bitter tone.
"No need to be so harsh about it, Joey. You were just like them when you were starting out." Tea said.
"Yeah, I guess" Joey conceded, "but I thought the world tournament would be full of experts; I guess Yugi was just too much for them."
"Well, it's time for the real challenge to start Yugi. I hear that some of the people in the quarterfinals have some pretty kick-but strategies." Tristan said.
"The girl I'm supposed to duel uses fairy monsters as well as other creatures with light attributes." Yugi said.
"She sounds real tough." Joey said, rather sarcastically.
"I know, but she is rumored to be a very impressive duelist, so we shouldn't take this duel as a joke." Yugi replied.
"Attention duelists," an announcement began. "The quarterfinals are beginning now. The first match is as follows: Yugi Muto vs. Lisa Light - please report to the arena." Yugi bid his friends farewell and left for the arena.
