PART ONE

Fog swirled about the grassy hills, curled around the trees. The sound of hoofbeats pierced the gloom.

Above the crest of the hill, a head appeared, with a crown of spiky hair. He rode forward, leather boots clacking on the ground, even though it was grassy. Following him closely was another man, burdened with a huge pack.

A castle rose ahead of the pair, ominous in the mist. The spiky haired one slowed to a stop.

Whoa, Kaiba! He looked up at the castle wall.

Hello! Hellooo! A helmeted head appeared above the wall.

I am Yugi Motou, King of Games. You may call me...King of Games. He thumped his chest for extra emphasis.

Pull the other one! The guard called.

I am! We have ridden the length and breadth of this land in search of duelists to join me at my court in Domino. I must speak with your lord and master. Yugi intoned.

What, ridden on a horse? You're using coconuts!

Yugi looked back at Kaiba, and the coconuts in his hands. So? We have ridden since the snows of winter covered this land, through the Duelist Kingdom-

Where'd you get the coconuts?

Yugi gritted his teeth. He was becoming annoyed. We found them.

Found them? In the Duelist Kingdom? There's only arenas in the Kingdom. The coconut's tropical! The guard yelled.

Yugi growled, then grew a foot, his voice becoming deeper. The swallow may fly south with the sun...

Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?

No, foolish mortal. They could be carried.

A swallow , carry a coconut?

Just tell your master that Yugi Motou is here!

The guard went on and on about the coconuts, and Yugi, fed up with the babbling, called on the powers of his puzzle to crush the guard's mind. Satisfied that the guard was not going to call for his master anyway, the pair rode away, coconuts in hand.
