Chapter 2: World Battle tournament
"Ah Yugi, I've been looking for you." Said Yugi's grandpa. He reached into his apron pocket and pulled out a large manila envelope and handed it to Yugi.
"What is it Grandpa?" Asked Yugi excitedly. He snatched the envelope out of his Grandpa's hands.
"I don't know Yugi; it came in the mail this morning. Its return address is KaibaCorp, though." Solomon Motou watched as his grandson carefully opened the envelope and spilled the contents onto the counter and examined them.
"It's a DVD." Said Yugi as he held up the disc and slipped it into the DVD player behind the counter of the game shop. He popped the disc into the player and the screen lit up as a recorded presentation began.
"Greetings duelist, due to your high tournament win record, you have been selected to participate in KaibaCorp/Industrial Illusions World Battle tournament. This tournament will test your skills as well as allow you to travel the world. I, Catherine Pegasus, CEO of KaibaCorp/Industrial Illusions will provide complete airline use for this tournament. You can pick up your registration packet at the nearest KaibaCorp/Industrial Illusions outlet store on Sunday. Please be sure to review the rules thoroughly. The tournament begins Monday when you board your first plane. The prize is five million American dollars. Good luck!
With that Yugi hit the eject button on the DVD player and began thumbing through the phone book.
"Grandpa, can I please go?" Pleaded Yugi, but in his soul chamber, Yami was contemplating a detail Yugi had missed.
((Yugi, who is this Catherine Pegasus, and how did she become CEO of KaibaCorp?)) I don't know, but what I do know is that we have to win because if Grandpa can't pay the rent; the bank's gonna close the shop ((I see.))
"Yugi, you spaced out again. Anyway, I don't see why not, as long as you're not traveling the world by yourself. I can't go but as long as one of your friends can." Grandpa's voice trailed off as Yugi ran toward the phone to see if Joey had got the mail yet, but the line was busy.
"I'll be back; I'm going over Joey's!" Yugi shouted as he ran out the door.
"Okay, be back by dinner!" Grandpa yelled back. Mean while.
Kaiba picked up his cell phone and hit auto dial for the KaibaCorp main office.
"Pick up!" Kaiba yelled into his cell phone.
"Kaiba, there's no need to shout! I'm right here."
"What's with you leaving messages on my voice mail?" Kaiba yelled with extreme agitation.
"I thought I'd make you an interesting proposition. I'm hosting a tournament called the World Battle Tournament. If you win this tournament I'll return KaibaCorp and all of your assets to you." She seemed out of breath as she spoke.
"And if I refuse?" Kaiba shot back in a dominating tone.
"Well then your little brother will die a painful death, I guarantee it." She seemed to have new strength as she spoke, this time she was the dominating one.
"What!? Mokuba is with a friend, you couldn't." Kaiba's voice was shaking.
Suddenly, his laptop made a beeping noise signifying that he had mail. He moved the mouse over to the icon and clicked. He was shocked when he saw a picture of Mokuba who apparently was out cold. The email had a caption that read:
"Well?"
"Fine, you've got my word, and trust me; I plan to win my company and my life back!" Kaiba yelled into the cell phone.
Catherine hung up and Kaiba threw his cell phone onto the floor of his hotel room. He was fired up. Who did that girl think she was? Well, whoever she was she was in for one heck of a fight.
While Kaiba had been screaming into a cell phone at the daughter of Pegasus, Yugi was walking aimlessly around Domino city to Joey's house. He was also having a mental conversation with Yami.
((Yugi, we should be on the look out during this tournament. It seems whenever one is hosted there are ulterior motives.)) But isn't it possible that this one will just be normal? ((It's not probable, lately, I've had these feelings; memories of the past, like shadows of a time that I don't remember.))
Yugi looked up at the sky after Yami's comment.
"Hey Yuge!" A familiar voice yelled from behind. Yugi turned around with a start and bumped into Joey and Tea.
"Hey guys! Did you get a letter from KaibaCorp?" Yugi asked eagerly.
"Yeah, we were just walkin' over to ask you. But, who is that Pegasus girl?" Joey said.
"She's Pegasus's daughter and apparently out for revenge." A cold voice said from behind Yugi.
"Kaiba!" Yugi was shocked to see the former KaibaCorp CEO walking down the street instead of in a jet black limousine.
"I assume you'll all be registering for the World Battle Tournament tomorrow, well don't count on winning, because I've staked all I have on it." This sudden outburst was obviously unexpected and Yugi didn't even have a chance to ask a question before he left.
"What was that about?" Said Tea inquisitively as the trio walked down the street.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------
Yugi had barely been able to sleep all night and by the next morning he was running on pure pre-tournament adrenaline. He had talked to Bakura last night and he said that he would meet them when they came to London. Tristan had a part time job and couldn't afford time off to spend on a Duel Monsters tournament, so it would just be Yugi, Joey, and Tea.
Yami! Wake up, I've been sitting in bed for seven hours and I'm ready to have some fun today!
((Calm down Yugi, it's six A.M. and your Grandfather already said that he wasn't picked to carry the duel disks, so you'll need to go to the KaibaCorp/Industrial Illusions outlet in Domino square; which doesn't open until nine, which means we can sleep in.)) With that, Yami put Yugi's body into sleep mode and Yugi sat awake in his soul chamber playing with his dueling deck.
Finally, around eight A.M. Yugi was dressed and met Joey and Tea for breakfast. They began walking over to the outlet around eight thirty when they realized the line was super long to get in. The doors opened at nine as hundreds of duelists flooded into the huge store. Yugi was trying to look around when he saw Kaiba get a duel disk, this caught his eye and he ran over to Kaiba when he walked by.
"Kaiba, I've been meaning to give these back to you." Yugi said as he handed Kaiba two cards. Kaiba took them and looked at them.
"Obelisk the Tormentor! And my Devil's sanctuary card! Yugi, do you realize what kind of edge this will give me? I can't, and won't except charity, I'll be sure to duel you for them though, so trust me; they won't be yours much longer!" With that remark, Kaiba walked out of the building.
"Yuge! C'mon, it's almost our turn!" Yelled Joey form the front of the line.
Yugi ran to the front of the line and was handed a silver brief case with a new type of duel disk. He walked outside back into the lobby and noticed the huge screen was lit up and Catherine Pegasus was answering questions via video phone. He walked over to the video phone booth and stepped up to the microphone.
"Catherine Pegasus, what happened to Kaiba, why isn't he CEO?" Yugi said in a demanding voice.
"Well Yugi boy, wouldn't you like to know!" Fired back Catherine. She gloated as she watched Yugi grow angry. She couldn't reveal all the pieces just yet.
"Catherine, I formally challenge you." But Yugi was cut off by Kaiba.
"Yugi, drop it. This is my fight, and I swear you'll be the first one I take down if you get in the way." With that, Kaiba walked out of the building leaving Yugi looking up at the screen.
"Yugi, come on; the first plane leaves in an hour and if we don't get to the airport we might miss the flight!" Tea said.
She did have a point, and it was the first major tournament she as competing in and he could tell she wanted everything to go perfectly. She had come a long way dueling from her deck at Duelist Kingdom; and he knew she would make it far. The three of them hailed a cab and got to the airport with a half-hour to spare. They boarded the plane to see many familiar faces including Rex Raptor and Mako Tsunami.
"Well hello Yugi!" Mako said loudly.
"Hi Mako." Said Yugi from across the aisle of the plane as he sat down. The fasten seatbelt sign lit up and the plane began to lift off.
