Dragon Brothers: A Promise between Friends

By Blue Eyes, White Hydra77415

            The sun rises in the east, casting its light on a small island in the Pacific Ocean. The rays of the sun wash over the mountains, through the forest, and settling on a grand looking castle in the middle of the island. It is here at Duelist Kingdom that Yugi Moto will duel Maximillian Pegasus for the final duel of the tournament, and free his grandfather's soul. Yugi is with his closest friends, Chris Michaels, Joey Wheeler, Tea Gardner, Tristan Taylor, and Ryou Bakura, overlooking his deck and preparing for the final duel.

            "Well Yuge, this is it pal," said Joey, "it's just going to be you and Pegasus from here on out!"

            "I don't think that any of us need to remind you of what's at stake Yugi," said Chris, "The souls of your grandfather and the Kaiba brothers, the $3,000,000 in prize money. It's all riding on you pal."

            "I'm not worried guys," said Yugi, "I've got Exodia, Grandpa's Blue Eyes, and most importantly, the five best friends a guy could have!"

            "THE DUEL WILL START IN FIVE MINUTES!" Croquet's voice boomed on the P.A. system.

            "It's time," Yugi said simply. Deck clutched tightly in his hands, Yugi got ready to open the door and meet his faith.

            "Yugi, wait a second!" said Chris, "I almost forgot to give you these!" Chris pushed six very familiar cards into his Yugi's hand. Yugi almost fainted from shock to see Chris' Green Eyes, Silver Dragon, One of Joey's Red Eyes, Black Dragons, Tristan's Cyber Commander, Tea's Magician of Faith, and Bakura's Change of Heart magic card.

            "What are these for?" said Yugi.

            "We all talked last night Yugi," said Tea, "Granted, we all know you're going to win, but we were also really worried about what happened if you lost."

            "Personally Yugi all five of us would love to be right there dueling alongside you against Pegasus," said Chris, "However, that isn't a viable option, so we decided that if we couldn't do that, we could help you by putting a small piece of ourselves in your deck. We want you to use our favorite cards to duel Pegasus. Of course we'll want them back when you're done." Chris added with a slight grin.

            "Actually Chris, I want Yugi to keep that Red Eyes, Black Dragon," said Joey, "I really only need one of them after all. But promise me this, I want you to use that Red Eyes, to knock Pegasus flat on his ass!"

            "Don't worry Joey, consider it a promise honored!" said Yugi and he entered the arena to face Pegasus and his destiny!

            Summary of Yugi's Duel with Pegasus: Pegasus opens the duel with Red Archery Girl and Ryu-Ran. Yugi counters with Tristan's Cyber Commander and Summoned Skull. Summoned Skull is sent to the graveyard when Pegasus springs his trap reversal card and sends Spellbinding Circle back to Yugi. Yugi tries to summon Exodia, but Pegasus sees this plot via his Millennium Eye, and uses Card Destruction to send all the Exodia pieces Yugi had collected to the graveyard. Pegasus then uses Toon World to make his monsters invincible.

Yugi then plays Bakura's Change of Heart to take control of Manga Ryu-Ran to launch an unsuccessful attack. Pegasus uses Doppelganger to copy Summoned Skull into its toon form. Yugi calls forth his vaunted Dark Magician. Yugi and Yami begin their "Mind Shuffle" and destroy Toon World with the Arrow of Light and magic destruction card combo that Yugi used in the TV show. Pegasus then uses his Eye to take them to the Shadow Realm in the hope that he will gain the advantage over Yugi. Pegasus summons Relinquished, and absorbs the Dark Magician.

Yugi collapses and Yami takes control, while Chris, Tea, and the others block Pegasus' magic. Yami then calls forth his Blue Eyes, Chris' Green Eyes, and Joey's Red Eyes, to the field and uses the Mystic box to free the Dark Magician from Relinquished. Pegasus fuses Relinquished and Thousand Eyes Idol to create the Thousand Eyes Restrict. Yami sacrifices the Dark Magician and Kuriboh to summon forth the Magician of Black Chaos, and then using Tea's Magician of Faith to recover the Monster Reborn card brings the Dark Magician back.

Yugi then has all five of his monsters attack the Thousand Eyes Restrict thus winning the duel, freeing the souls of his grandfather and Kaiba, winning the prize money for Serenity's operation, and earning the titles of Undisputed Duel Monsters World Champion, and King of Games.
