Dragon Brothers: a Yugioh Alternate Universe.
By Blue Eyes, White Hydra77415
Corny opening narration: When we last saw Yugi and his friends on the trip to Duelist Kingdom, they had met Chris Michaels, the legendary Dragon duelist who was the only one to come even close to beating Bandit Keith. Chris joined Yugi and his party to get the necessary ten star chips that he, Yugi, and Joey will need to enter Pegasus' castle. We now jump ahead to a critical juncture in the Yugioh world. The epic second battle between Yugi and Kaiba at Duelist Kingdom, or will it be someone else that steps forward to face the Champion?
"Yugi, you can't do this!" Tea pleaded, "You have too much at stake! If you lose to Kaiba, you can't rescue your grandfather!"
"I have no choice Tea," said Yugi, "If this is the only way then so be it!" the Millennium Puzzle started glowing with a bright light and Yami Yugi appeared.
. "Come now Yugi!" Kaiba said, "let's settle this once and for all!"
"Very well Kaiba, I'll beat you and UGH!!" Yami groaned as Chris landed a hard right across Yugi's face. "Why Chris? Why are you doing this?" Yami said as he passed out and crumpled to the ground.
"Because Tea's right, you have far too much at stake to duel Kaiba," said Chris, "If you lose those star chips, then you also lose the chance to save your grandfather's soul and win the prize money to help Serenity. I, on the other hand, have got nothing to lose. I entered this tournament for the glory, nothing more. I lose to Kaiba, then so be it!"
"What is the meaning of this!" Kaiba thundered, "This business is between me and Yugi, you have no place getting involved Chris!"
"That is where you're dead wrong Seto!" said Chris, "This involves me very much! I've always considered you my friend Seto, but this is taking it too far. Yugi is fighting for his grandfather just as you are fighting for Mokuba. Is your hatred for Yugi so much that you would deny him the chance to save his grandfather?"
"You think that I want to do this!" said Kaiba, "Pegasus has done something to Mokuba and the only way that I can get the chance to save him is to duel Yugi, now get out of my way!"
"Oh, you'll duel someone alright, ME!" Chris thundered, "Your duel with Yugi will have to be postponed. Because to get to him, you have go through me!"
"So be it!" said Kaiba, "I suppose that you'll make a good warm-up to my duel with Pegasus and later with Yugi."
"Guys, take Yugi inside," said Chris quietly, "He'll need to rest up for the finals. I'll take on Kaiba."
"But Chris, what about…" said Bakura.
"Just go on!" said Chris, "I'm not worried about losing. There will be other tournaments. This is personal."
Chris and Kaiba met on one of the many ramparts of Pegasus' castle to begin a duel that no doubt would be remembered for all of eternity.
"We'll use my new Duel Disk system," said Kaiba, "I hope you can handle it, unlike that idiot Wheeler!"
"There's a big difference between Joey and me, Kaiba," Chris said, "Unlike Joey, I'm not so easily intimidated. So how about we cut right to the chase? How many Star chips are on the line?"
"We'll each bet five," said Kaiba, "and now it's time to duel!"
"Let's do it!" said Chris, and the duel of the century began! The life point counters clocked in at 2000 and Chris and Kaiba drew their first hands.
"I play Ryu-Kishin Powered in attack mode," said Kaiba, and the dragon-like gargoyle emerged on the field.
"I'll counter your Ryu-Kishin with Harpie's Brother!" said Chris, "Harpie destroy Ryu-Kishin! Razor Edge attack!" The Harpie's Brother flapped its mighty wings and sent a powerful blast of air in the shape of a blade that neatly sliced Kaiba's Ryu-Kishin in half. Current score, Chris: 2000 Kaiba: 1800.
"So what? You destroyed one pathetic fiend!" said Kaiba, "You of all people should know the true strength of my deck. Nothing will stop me from getting to Pegasus and freeing Mokuba!" Kaiba drew his next card, The Crush Card Virus.
"Excellent, this card is just what I needed!" thought Kaiba, "I couple the Contagious Crush Card Virus with Saggi the Dark Clown, and Chris will be in for a very nasty surprise." The sick parody of a circus clown emerged on the field. All Chris did was crack a big smile.
"Nice try Seto, Someone facing you for the first time may have gone ahead and attack Saggi, but I know you too well, I recognize this move as the one that won you the World Championship in the first place!" said Chris, "Playing Saggi and coupling him with the Crush Card Virus, If I ordered my Harpie's Brother to attack him then the virus would infect my entire deck, making me able to only play my weakest monsters and magic cards. So first I play Mystical Space Typhoon, wiping out your virus! And now, Razor Edge Attack!"
The winged beast fired another wind blade and Saggi was chopped in two just like Ryu-Kishin. Current score, Chris: 2000 Kaiba: 600.
Kaiba stood in stunned silence at what just happened, and then he started laughing like a madman! "You think that just because you found a way past my combo means that you won! I'm only getting started! For my next turn I'll lay one card face down and then I'll use Dian Keto the Cure Master raising my life points to 1600, then I'll play Battle Ox in attack mode and I equip it with the Sword of Deep Seated and Black Pendant boosting its attack power to 2700! Now Battle Ox, destroy Harpies' Brother! Ox Deep Slash Attack!"
The Battle Ox raised the black sword over its head and sliced up Harpie's Brother into a million pieces. Current score, Chris: 1100 Kaiba: 1600.
"You see Chris, nothing will keep me from saving my little brother! Just try to come up with a monster that can match my Battle Ox!"
Chris drew his next card and he smirked. "You know what Seto, I think I'll do just that! Green Eyes, Silver Dragon arise!" the noble Chinese style dragon came up from its card in a brilliant flash of green light. Completely dwarfing Kaiba's Battle Ox. Chris then screamed, "Behold the power of my strongest monster! Green Eyes, Silver Dragon TORNADO FIRE ATTACK!"
The Green Eyes belched out a stream of wind that took the form of a tornado. The Battle Ox spun around in the maelstrom and was torn apart by the force of the attack. Current score: Chris 1100 Kaiba: 1300.
"Impressive isn't it?" said Chris, "My ultimate monster, strong enough to take on any one of your three Blue Eyes, White Dragons head to head, so why don't you just summon one of them and let's just see which dragon is stronger."
Kaiba's face twisted into a truly evil grin. "Oh, I'll bring my Blue Eyes forward, but you have no idea what is about to happen. I was actually hoping to save this for my duel with Yugi, but I suppose you're Green Eyes will be a fairly good warm up for it. Blue Eyes, White Dragon come forward!" the mighty beast flew from an explosion of sparks and lightning.
"What are you talking about Seto?" said Chris, "What will my dragon be a good warm up for?"
"You should feel honored Chris, you will be the first one to ever see my ultimate beast. When I first dueled Yugi with my Blue Eyes, I felt that three separate dragons would be enough, as you know, it wasn't," said Kaiba, "But then I had an revelation! What if I fused all three of my Blue Eyes together into one? The end result, one invincible dragon! So behold Chris Michaels! I fuse my three Blue Eyes, White Dragons together to form, the all powerful Blue Eyes, Ultimate Dragon!"
The other two Blue Eyes arose to join their brother and all three started glowing in blue and white light. The light receded to reveal one giant white dragon with three heads that towered over the Green Eyes. Six ice blue eyes bored into Chris' soul.
"HOLY GREAT GOOGA MOOGA!" screamed Chris.
"That's right Chris, now behold my dragon's power! Blue Eyes, Ultimate White Dragon! Neutron Blast Attack!" the three dragon heads gathered electricity and shot a massive version of a normal Blue Eyes White Lightning attack and incinerated the Green Eyes in one shot. Final score Kaiba: 1300 Chris: 0.
Kaiba walked up to Chris, and picked up the five star chips lying on the ground. "I believe that these now belong to me." Chris then stood up and stared Kaiba square in the face. He then extended his hand.
"You won fair and square Kaiba, I have no regrets about losing. I may have lost my chance to win the prize money, but I know that at least you and Yugi have the chance to save your family. There will be other tournaments. Now you go and save Mokuba!" said Chris. Kaiba then broke out in a small smile.
"Don't worry, I intend to do just that! Now let's go join Yugi and the others."
The two duelists proceeded into the castle where the final battles of the tournament would take place.
"I may have lost the tournament, but at the very least I gave Kaiba the chance to save his little brother, and kept Yugi from losing the chance to save his grandpa. Besides there will always be other tournaments. I'll get my chance soon enough!" thought Chris, "and when I get the chance, I'll warn Yugi about that Blue Eyes, Ultimate Dragon!"
The End
Author's Note: Thus ends my view on what could have happened if someone had been able to duel Kaiba on Yugi's behalf, thus giving both characters the chance to save their loved ones. I'm sorry if the duel scene was bad, if you didn't like it then just click the back button and leave.
