DUEL OF THE FATES.
CHAPTER 2:Before the Battle.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: This £ object is a sign for Pounds, money we use in England. Just thought I should mention that.
LOCATION:Room 31, London Hotel, England.
It was morning and Joey came out of his room. He was dressed and ready to plan out his Duel Monster deck to beat Kaiba on Friday. To his surprise, he found Tristan and Inumon sitting at the table, tired and fed-up.
"Boy, you two are up early." Joey said.
"Well, we had to went someone was singing 'I'm Gonna Duel Kaiba' in his sleep!" Inumon said.
"Tristan, don't sing." Joey said.
Tristan grabbed his head and gritted his teeth. "It is YOU!"
"Me?!" Joey gasped.
"Yeah! You were moaning in your sleep! You making motions of your hands in the air, using non-existing cards in your hand whilst singing 'I'm Gonna Duel Kaiba!'" Tristan said, giving Joey the death-glare.
"How long did I did that?" Joey asked.
"3 hours!" Inumon said. "3 stinkin' hours!"
"Sorry." Joey said, sheepishly. "So, what are the others doing today?"
"Yugi, Tea, Bakura, SnowAgumon and Kokuwamon are heading to the London Library as me, Tristan and you are sorting out your deck for your duel against Seto Kaiba this Friday." Inumon said.
Joey brought his deck out and sat at the table. "Okay. Here we go."
Tristan had a thought as Joey placed his deck in the middle of the table. "For a starter, Joey. You'll need your strongest card."
Joey drew a card and placed it in front of him. "Yeah. The Red Eyes Black Dragon, my strongest monster card in my deck."
"Which reminds me, shouldn't we bring out your Red Eyes for some air?" Inumon asked.
"Oh yeah." Joey blinked. "I forgot."
When Yugi and Joey were dueling together against Seto and Mai Valantine in the Hypnos building, their favourite cards came to life after a Digimon called Meteormon was defeated and his data was downloaded into the holographic image of the Duel Monsters. Yugi's Dar Magician, Joey's Red Eyes Black Dragon, one of Seto's 3 Blue Eyes White Dragon and Mai's Harpy Lady Sisters came to life thanks to Meteormon's data. (Read Chapter 2 of 'Digital Kingdom' for more information).
Tristan groaned. "Way to remember friends, Joey."
"All right, all right, already. Yeesh." Joey sighed and picked the Red Eyes card up. "Okay, Red Eyes. Come on out at our size."
The picture of the Red Eyes Black Dragon glowed and Joey's strongest monster appeared beside his master at Joey's height. Red Eyes streched his wings before looking at his friend. "Took you long enough to remember me, young master."
"Sorry, Red Eyes. Had other problems." Joey said.
"Dueling against Kaiba this Friday?" Red Eyes asked.
"You heard?" Inumon asked.
Red Eyes nodded. "Of course. Now, shall we continue?"
"Of course." Joey said, placing the Red Eyes Black Dragon card in front of him. "I'll need Red Eyes Black Dragon as he is my strongest card."
Tristan drew another card from Joey's deck, looked at it and handed it to Joey. "You'll need this as well."
Joey took the card and looked at it. "Ah, yeah. Dragon Nails."
"What does that card do?" Inumon asked.
"It raises a Dragon-type monster's attack power by 700. I used it on Red Eyes before." Joey said. "Red Eyes' attack power is 2400 and with this card, he'll have 3100 attack points!"
Tristan smiled. "Higher than Kaiba's Blue Eyes White Dragon."
"If I recall, the Blue Eyes White Dragon's attack power is 3000."
"That is right!" Joey said. Then, he drew two cards from his deck. "Ah, yeah! My Time Wizard and Baby Dragon!"
"With that combo, you'll bring out Thousand Dragon!" Tristan said.
"Yeah, and I gotta be careful with the Time Wizard. If this goes wrong, I'm history." Joey said.
Inumon rolled his eyes. "Just believe in yourself, nutcase."
Joey drew a card from his deck, looks at it, places in his hand, draws another one and so forth. "Flame Swordsman, Salamander, Copy Cat, Chasm of Spikes, Graverobber, Garoozis, Shield and Sword.... Oh man, I think I'll have to use my whole deck!"
"Maybe there is a way. Remember the Black Skull Dragon?" Tristan asked.
Joey jumped up, a huge smile on his face. "Ah yeah! You mean the monster that is fused with the Summoned Skull and Red Eyes Black Dragon, giving its attack power 3200 and its defence power 2500? That Black Skull Dragon?"
Tristan grinned. "Yeah. Wanna use that."
"I would, IF I had a Summoned Skull and a Fusion card."
Tristan's face faultered. "Oh yeah....."
"Oh man...." Joey said, standing up and paced around the room. "Kaiba is gonna kick my butt without any trouble, man. And I'll know for sure that he'll fuse his 3 Blue Eyes White Dragons into the powerful Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon with an attack power of 4500 and defence power 3500! I'm gonna loose!"
Inumon sighed and walked over to a window that overlooks a London street. "And it started so well before a guy called Joey freaked out."
Red Eyes chuckled. "I know. I know."
Inumon spotted something. "Hey, there is an ice-cream van outside."
Joey stopped and his mouth started to drool like a waterfall. "Ice-cream....."
Tristan looked out of window, confused. "Its a bit early for an ice-cream van to appear."
"Who cares!" Inumon said. "This could help Joey calm down!"
Tristan looked at Joey, smiling. "Yeah, it could. Go and get yourself an ice-cream cone, Joey."
"Right, Trist!" Joey said.
"How much money have you got?" Red Eyes asked.
Joey dug through his pockets and brought out some notes. "60 Yen, why?"
Red Eyes shook his head. "Yen is used in Japan. I learned that the money they use in England is called Pounds."
Joey blinked. "Oh no..."
Tristan dug through his pocket and handed Joey a pound coin. "Here, take this. The ice-cream is on me, pal."
Joey looked at the pound coin before looking back at Tristan. "You sure?"
"Yeah. I'll do anything to stop you freaking out over some duel even if I have to lose £1." Tristan said.
"Or £2, £3, £10, £50, £100, £10000, £10000000000....." Inumon said, smiling.
Tristan glared at Inumon. "Shut up."
Joey walked out of the door. "I'll be back, man."
Tristan and Inumon sighed together as they sat on the couch. "3 days.... 3 stinkin' days..." Inumon moaned.
"I know." Tristan sighed. "Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.... We'll never make it!"
Red Eyes looked out of the window, and tried to stop himself from sniggering. "Tristan, where do you humans eat your food?"
Tristan looked at Red Eyes, with a confused look. "In our mouths, why?"
"Joey has brought himself an ice-cream cone and I don't think it has calmed him down." Red Eyes explained, ready to burst into laughter.
"How can you tell that an ice-cream cone hasn't calmed Joey down?" Inumon asked.
"Its a wild guess but, I think its something to do with Joey putting the ice-cream cone on top of his head." Red Eyes said, before bursting out into laughter.
Tristan and Inumon looked at each other. Both of them were silent until Inumon said. "Shall we join Yugi and the others?"
"Lets." Tristan said, grabbing a coat and a hat out of nowhere.
"Whats that?" Inumon asked.
Tristan grinned. "You'll soon see enough...."
Inumon gulped.
LOCATION:London Library.
"Wow...." Yugi whispered as he sat down at a table with a book, titled 'History of Britain'. "This place is big."
Tea looked up from a book she read and smiled. "I know.... This place will give us lots of knowledge in future tests."
SnowAgumon popped his head out of Tea's backpack, that was beside Tea herself. "Just make sure those future tests is something to do with England."
Bakura came over to the table with Kokuwamon in his backpack and a big book underneath his arm. "Hey, you two. Tristan is here."
"Really?" Tea asked, surprised. "Where?"
At that point, Tristan came in view with a mysterious figure that was dressed in a hat and a coat that looks like it belongs to a detective.
"Tristan? Whos your new friend?" Tea asked.
"Who else?" SnowAgumon said. "Its Inumon."
"I wonder why we haven't used this idea of using a hat and coat on the plane." Tristan said.
"Maybe because people will notice my feet." Inumon said, pointing to his bare dog feet.
Tristan blinked. "Oh yeah."
Yugi laughed. "So, what is up, you guys?"
"Need a break from Joey." Tristan said as he and Inumon sat down with Bakura. "Find anything intresting here?"
"Of course." Tea said, holding the book up to show Tristan the cover. "This book I'm reading is called 'The Hardy Boys'."
"A biography?" Tristan asked.
Tea looked confused. "Huh?"
"Does it say that Matt Hardy is in Smackdown! while Jeff Hardy is in RAW?" Tristan asked.
Tea blinked before she slapped her head and groaned. "Not the Hardy Boyz from World Wrestling Entertainment, you dolt! A different Hardy Boys! The mystery books!"
"Oh..." Tristan said, blinking while Inumon sniggered. "I didn't read that book."
"Doesn't surprise me there." Tea said, dryly.
Yugi chuckled and then, remember what Tristan said about Joey. "Hey, Tristan. What do you mean you needed a break from Joey. Whats wrong with him?"
Tristan gulped. "If I tell you, promise me you won't yell."
"No one has the right to yell in the library." Kokuwamon said.
Bakura nodded. "Thats right."
Tristan sighed. "All right. Last night, Joey got a call from Kaiba."
"First time Kaiba would phone Joey up." SnowAgumon said.
Tea rolled her eyes and looked at Inumon. "And then...?"
"Why your looking at me for? Tristan is the one who is telling the story here." Inumon said.
"Just continue his story, you were there." Tea said.
"How would you know that I was there when Joey got a phone-call from Kaiba?" Inumon said.
"By any chance it was because of 2 things. First of all, you are Tristan's Digimon partner and second, Tristan is Joey's roommate in the hotel, meaning you were with Tristan when Kaiba phoned up Joey? Need any more proof?" Kokuwamon said.
Inumon glared at Kokuwamon before smiling sheepishly. "Well.... Kaiba said to Joey..... promise you won't yell."
Yugi knows that this is bad so, he gave Bakura a nod and gets ready when they heard the news. "We promise. Go ahead."
"Okay, here it goes." Inumon took a deep sigh and said very, VERY quickly that Yugi, Bakura, Tea, Kokuwamon, SnowAgumon and EVEN Tristan, didn't catch of what Inumon was saying. Only Yami knew what Inumon said. "KaibachallangedJoeytoaDuelMonsterbattlethisFriday!" He said it very quickly didn't he?
Tristan nuged his elbow into Inumon's side. "Say it slowly."
"Okay... Okay..." Inumon said before...
"Wait a second!" Yugi said, listening to his Yami of what Inumon said. Yugi gasped. "Kaiba challanged Joey to a Duel Monster battle this Friday?"
Both Tristan and Inumon nodded.
"WH..." Tea was about to yell out a huge 'WHAT?!' but, she couldn't as Bakura and Yugi quickly putted their hands over her mouth.
SnowAgumon sighed. "Well, at least Joey didn't accepted the challange."
Tea sighed as Yugi and Bakura took their hands off Tea's mouth. "You don't know Joey very well."
SnowAgumon blinked. "He did?!"
Tristan nodded. "Yep. At the London Dome, this Friday, 4 o'clock in the afternoon."
"I figured Kaiba is giving Joey 3 days to prepare his deck before their battle." Inumon said. "But, so far, we can to a zilch. Joey decided to use his deck to face against Kaiba and hopes for the best."
"Think that calms him down?" Kokuwamon asked.
"Does 'Joey putted an ice-cream cone on his head' sound calm to you?" Inumon asked.
Kokuwamon sighed. "Poor Joey."
"No wonder Joey is worried. The only monster in his deck that is over 2000 attack points is his Red Eyes Black Dragon. Kaiba has the 3 powerful Blue Eyes White Dragon." Bakura said.
"And when those Blue Eyes combined together, Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon will screw Joey without any hesitation." Tea said.
Yugi got up. "I'm gonna help Joey to get ready facing against Kaiba!"
"How are you going to do that?" Inumon asked.
Yugi smiled. "Here is my plan........"
LOCATION:Corridor, London Hotel.
Yugi, Tea and Bakura waited outside Joey and Tristan's room with SnowAgumon and Kokuwamon in Tea and Bakura's backpacks and Inumon still dressed in the hat and coat.
"I have walked through London town wearing this hat and coat with exposed dog-feet and yet, no English human has noticed my feet! Why is that?!" Inumon asked.
SnowAgumon popped his head out of Tea's backpack. "Maybe they have a good reason why they don't noticed your feet like, they noticed something in the sky or they were too busy to notice you."
"I didn't need an answer!" Inumon said, growling.
Tristan came out of the room, sighing.
"Well?" Yugi asked.
"Hes finally calmed down and hes off to bed. Yug, maybe you should put your plan into action NOW otherwise me and Inumon aren't gonna get some sleep for the next 3 days!" Tristan said.
"Two days now." Inumon said.
"Shut up." Tristan mumbled.
Yugi stood in silence before he said. "We need Joey out of the room for a while and he'll also need to leave his deck behind."
"What for, Yugi?" SnowAgumon asked.
Yugi took his deck out of his pocket and smiled. "I'm going to alter Joey's deck a little by adding few of my cards. Cards that will be useful for him."
Tristan smiled. "Yeah! Good idea, Yug! Don't forget to add the Summoned Skull and the Fusion card to help his Red Eyes."
"I will, Tristan. I will." Yugi said, smiling.
Bakura frowned. "But, how are we going to lead Joey away from his deck?"
Inumon snapped his fingers. "I have an idea."
Kokuwamon groaned. "We are doomed."
"Quiet!" Inumon growled.
Tea was able to figure out what Inumon was going to do. "I know! When Joey is out for ice-cream, me and Bakura will drag him around London while Yugi and Bakura alter Joey's deck!"
Inumon grumbled. "Correct...."
Yugi nodded. "Good idea. Tonight, before I go to bed, I'll bring out the cards that I will lend Joey to battle Kaiba!"
"Good!" Tristan said. "All right, troops! Tomorrow, Operation Help Joey is a go!"
"No more military programs for you!" Inumon said.
LOCATION:Corridor, London Hotel.
It was next morning and the door that leads into Joey and Tristan's room opened up, letting a hyperactive Joey out of the room, followed by Tristan.
"Joey! Wait up!" Tristan called out.
"Can't wait up! Must calm down! Must have ice-cream!" Joey said, in a quick voice.
A moment later, Tea came out and knocked on Yugi and Bakura's door. "Yugi, Joey is outside."
Yugi opened the door and popped his head out. "Good, Tea. You go downstairs and take Joey and Tristan around London. Once I placed the cards into Joey's deck, me and Bakura will join you."
"Right!" Tea nodded as she ran down the hallway, following Joey and Tristan.
LOCATION:Room 31, London Hotel.
Inumon opened the door to let Yugi, Dark Magician, Bakura and Kokuwamon in.
"Welcome. How may I help you?" Inumon asked.
Bakura laughed. "All right. Now we are in. Let's set up the cards."
Yugi walked over to Joey's deck that was on the table with a small sleeping Red Eyes Black Dragon beside it. Yugi took half of the deck up, placed some cards of his own in the middle of Joey's deck before putting Joey's deck back together. "Done!"
"Good." The Dark Magician said. "Will this work?"
Yugi walked over to the window and looked outside. He saw Joey going mental, putting an ice-cream cone over his head with a embrassed Tristan and Tea watching. "It has to!"
Kokuwamon nodded. "Thats right."
"Of course it will work otherwise, Joey is in a heap of trouble!"
Yugi's face was grim. "Joey, you must not only to prove Seto you are good, but to yourself as well. I wish you luck, my friend."
TO BE CONTINUED.
We skip to Friday where the duel begins! Join us! Who will win?! Seto or Joey?! Find out in the next chapter!

Inumon sighed and walked over to a window that overlooks a London street. "And it started so well before a guy called Joey freaked out."
Red Eyes chuckled. "I know. I know."
Inumon spotted something. "Hey, there is an ice-cream van outside."
Joey stopped and his mouth started to drool like a waterfall. "Ice-cream....."
Tristan looked out of window, confused. "Its a bit early for an ice-cream van to appear."
"Who cares!" Inumon said. "This could help Joey calm down!"
Tristan looked at Joey, smiling. "Yeah, it could. Go and get yourself an ice-cream cone, Joey."
"Right, Trist!" Joey said.
"How much money have you got?" Red Eyes asked.
Joey dug through his pockets and brought out some notes. "60 Yen, why?"
Red Eyes shook his head. "Yen is used in Japan. I learned that the money they use in England is called Pounds."
Joey blinked. "Oh no..."
Tristan dug through his pocket and handed Joey a pound coin. "Here, take this. The ice-cream is on me, pal."
Joey looked at the pound coin before looking back at Tristan. "You sure?"
"Yeah. I'll do anything to stop you freaking out over some duel even if I have to lose £1." Tristan said.

Yugi nodded. "Good idea. Tonight, before I go to bed, I'll bring out the cards that I will lend Joey to battle Kaiba!"
"Good!" Tristan said. "All right, troops! Tomorrow, Operation Help Joey is a go!"
"No more military programs for you!" Inumon said.
LOCATION:Corridor, London Hotel.
It was next morning and the door that leads into Joey and Tristan's room opened up, letting a hyperactive Joey out of the room, followed by Tristan.
"Joey! Wait up!" Tristan called out.
"Can't wait up! Must calm down! Must have ice-cream!" Joey said, in a quick voice.
A moment later, Tea came out and knocked on Yugi and Bakura's door. "Yugi, Joey is outside."
Yugi opened the door and popped his head out. "Good, Tea. You go downstairs and take Joey and Tristan around London. Once I placed the cards into Joey's deck, me and Bakura will join you."
"Right!" Tea nodded as she ran down the hallway, following Joey and Tristan.
LOCATION:Room 31, London Hotel.
Inumon opened the door to let Yugi, Dark Magician, Bakura and Kokuwamon in.
"Welcome. How may I help you?" Inumon asked.
Bakura laughed. "All right. Now we are in. Let's set up the cards."
Yugi walked over to Joey's deck that was on the table with a small sleeping Red Eyes Black Dragon beside it. Yugi took half of the deck up, placed some cards of his own in the middle of Joey's deck before putting Joey's deck back together. "Done!"
"Good." The Dark Magician said. "Will this work?"
Yugi walked over to the window and looked outside. He saw Joey going mental, putting an ice-cream cone over his head with a embrassed Tristan and Tea watching. "It has to!"
Kokuwamon nodded. "Thats right."
"Of course it will work otherwise, Joey is in a heap of trouble!"
Yugi's face was grim. "Joey, you must not only to prove Seto you are good, but to yourself as well. I wish you luck, my friend."
