The stadium is just enormous. The roar of the crowed was just electrifying. There the 4 stands against duelist's that have cards and strategies that the 4 have never even herd of before. The duel is held on a metallic platform, with a wide-open area for a more personal touch of size and detail to the monsters. Seto Kaiba hosts this particular duel tournament. He is hoping to promote the use of his newest duel device that he just invented.

This, like the last Battlecity tournament, has attracted the most respected duelists in the country. Kyle's older brother, who taught him the fundamentals of creating and maintaining a deck when he was all but 7, happened to be in Battle City, but unfortunately, because of business, he couldn't make it this time. He has taken the path-using machine and warrior types in his deck along with some other types as well. Kyle stands very tall with an auburn color to his hair. He eyes are deep brown, sometimes black. He wears a brown leather vest, with a chain choker around his neck. At that moment Kyle start to feel nervous. He starts to tap his deck inside a pouch connected to his belt, and flipping his messy hair around his head.

"Relax Kyle! Why are you so tense? You have been to a thousand of these things! Don't be nervous!" Darcy was always like a backbone to the other guys. She is just a strong girl who will take nothing from anyone. Her type of choice for duel monsters is dragons. Her deck is a virtual powerhouse of rare dragon cards that can eliminate the highest rank of duelist (when played right of course). She is about 5'4 and has long brown hair and she has the weirdest tick. She uses a ticking sound to wreak havoc on her opponent's nerves.

Kevin's physical weakness makes up for his variety of spell caster's and fairies, along with his powerful magic cards. His eyes are a pale blue with blond hair with a wave. Is His Amulet begins to get heavy, like it is warning him. He grasps the gem and starts to breath heavily. Richard puts his hand on his shoulder and tells him "don't worry I feel it to". Richard's hand has the shiny golden ring his finger, the lights of the stadium glisten its beauty. Kyle and Darcy unaware of the unimposing stride forward to greet their opponents.

"N..no," Kevin stuttered. He had never felt this feeling before. Like how a locus senses rain, he senses evil.

To wards the other end of the stadium Yugi and Joey prepare there decks. "I hate that creep Kaiba! All he doses is flash his fancy Blue Eyes White Dragon around like its everyone's business! Man I would love to do nothing more than to just get my hands on him!" Joey screams.

"Pull yourself together Joey! Kaiba is not even dueling in this one, he's just 'supervising'," Yugi tries constantly to keep Joey in his cool, he knows Joey has a tendency to think more with his heart than with his head. 'Yugi can you feel it?' 'Feel what yami?' 'That presence. Something I have not felt since. Yugi look up!' Yugi stared up and saw a dark shadow in the balcony looking over him. 'Yugi that's. Pegasus!'

The south end door flies open, and a tall brown haired man in a long leather coat walk in. He is there for his brother. He found a way to get out of his meeting; he wanted to see his brother in action. He remembers that feeling. Of the pressure, the crowed psyching him up, the people the personalities. "Hmmm, Yugi Moto. Good luck little bro." A blond haired women sitting next to him with a red coat on looks over and gasps.

"OH! Your Kyle's older brother!" she declares. She extends her hand out and says " Hi, I'm Susan Allains, Darcy's mom. You own that card shop on..on.. Whatever street. Anyway, why aren't you dueling?"

"I think its best I sit this one out, I don't even have my deck with me."

Horns blow as the tournament begins. The duelists being to circle the stage where Seto Kiaba is to make his appearance. "Ladies and gentleman," a voice calls out.

"That dose not sound like Kaiba. That sounds like.." Kyle's brother was interrupted but a blackout. A malevolent laugh envelops the darkness.

"Welcome to my nightmare, duelists. Its time for me to introduce your host!" a spot light opens and spots Pegasus with his golden eye shining bright. He reaches into his coat pocket and pulls out a card. "Here is your host!" the cards face was that of Seto Kaiba. "And to all who I se..!!! Those kids! Its..its..the pharaohs children!" He jerks his head to the side. He gives Yugi a grim smile.

Yugi now yami, stares coldly at Pegasus. "Pegasus I am aware of who you are now" his head glows with his third eye. "I am psychic you know. And I am fully aware of your intentions! Stay away from them!"

"Now pharaoh, what makes you think I would go after the reincarnations of the children of the 4 kings, and the now keepers of the 4 Mystic Items. Please pharaoh you know me too well." His eye lights beam of light.

Yami shouts out "NOO!!!!" in a commanding voice as he hold up his ends and shatters the light.

"You fight well Yami, but unfortunately for all of you your souls shall be mine! And those precious items of yours".

"Listen up you freak! I don't know what you did to the crowed but you better reverse it you spineless pig!" Mai shouts out with penetrating eyes.

"Yeah you tell him Mai!" Joey agrees.

"Look around you duelists, the crowed is now coaster!" he laughs as he held up the card holding the whole crowds souls. Now its time for yours! Especially you 4!" he points to the carriers of the Mystic Items. He holds his hand up his eye glows with an eye green light.

Yami closes his eyes and sees Pegasus's hands with his mind. Pegasus's eye flashes with a frightening glow. Kevin clutches his Amulet and shits his eye tightly as Kyle shields his eye with his hand equipped to his wrist. Darcy and Richard gasp, Darcy throws her head away. Covered. Shielded from it all Yami did. The light faded and Pegasus gritted his teeth to what he saw. Every duelist was taken. Every duelist accept Yugi, Joey, Mai, and the 4 who Pegasus wanted the most. "See what happens when you let evil control you Pegasus," Yami declares.

"I GROW TIRED OF YOUR INSULENCE!!!" he puts his head down and grits his teeth. "I'll take your souls where you cannot protect them!" He holds out his arm palm facing outward and arches his eye. "SEE YOU IN THE SHADOW REALM!!!" An overwhelms dark light engulfs the stadium. Soo intense now the pharaoh cannot even stop it.

Darcy falls to the ground on her knees. She looks up and sees a lush forest. Around her are her friends. She slowly pushes her way up and finds the energy to ask, "Where are we?"

Yami glares around. " The darkest place a soul can be. He said he would take us to a place where we could not protect our souls. Well he succeeded, he took us to the place where duel monsters her not ink on cards, but as real and as dangerous as they were thousands of years ago. And it was why they all were banished to here. Prepare for the final showdown with evil. Here, in the Shadow Realm".
