Disclaimer: You should know it by now.
A/N: Well, where did we leave off? The tournament is about to begin- yes, yes, I know now. On with the story!!
Chapter 2: Let the Games Begin!!
Knock!
Knocking was what was happening at the Game Shop one week after Kaiba's announcement. Joey yelled, "Come on Yuge!! The tournament starts in half an hour!!" Little did Joey know that all the previous 4 place winners were invited to spend the night in the Kaiba mansion as a little reward. Only two arrived, Seto Kaiba who came in third and Yugi Moto who won the tournament. Marik Ishtar, the runner up was dead, and Joey Wheeler- who came in fourth, was a no-show, so Kaiba decided they spend the night in different sides of the mansion (ol' rival bitterness) but Kaiba had not mailed Joey an invite on purpose, so when Solomon answered the door.
"Good morning Joey, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be getting on your way to Duelist Championship?" Solomon asked
"Yeah, but I'm waiting for Yuge. Tristan and Tea said they were leaving Tristan's house about 15 minutes ago, and are going to ride the train to the Championship. Where's Yuge?" Joey questioned.
"Didn't you get an invite?" Solomon asked him.
"An invite to what?" Joey asked, partly confused.
"Kaiba invited the top four in Battle City to spend the night at the Kaiba mansion as a little reward." Solomon told him, expecting a silly excuse.
"Nope" was all that came out of Joey's mouth.
"What? Maybe post office trouble?" Solomon questioned.
"Or maybe Kaiba forgot it on purpose. He's never liked me. I'll just have to defeat him in a duel to earn his respect!" Joey barked.
"Well, you had best get on, the tournament begins in 15 minutes" Solomon warned him."
"Well, see ya Gramps!" Joey yelled while running down the street, D train left in 5 minutes and if he missed it he would have to walk, which would take about 45 minutes, and he'd surely be left out of the tournament!
Joey barely caught the D-train and was riding to the tournament while elsewhere Yugi was riding in one of Kaibacorp's private limousines. Mai Valentine was also coming to the Duelist Championship tournament, as well as Bandit Keith, Weevil Underwood, Rex Raptor, and Mako Tsunami. Yugi would have to be at his best if he wished to beat some old foes from Duelist Kingdom and Battle City, and he knew that there were plenty of good duelists out there, but after are the preliminary duels, cries, and triumphs, only 13 would remain victorious, and then the final 16 would compete head on for 8 preliminaries, 4 semi-semi-finals (does that make sense?) 2 semi-finals and then the big enchilada, the final round where one person lost everything and another gains 3 new dueling cards and can 100 million dollars to their banking account.
TEN MINUTES LATER----------
The familiar giant white blimp flew over the town of Domino with whom else but Seto Kaiba's face on the giant two-sided TV screen it had built in. "Greetings duelists" said the voice of Seto Kaiba. "I see many of you have shown up today hoping to win a spot in my tournament's final rounds. My data resources have told that 2,600 people have arrived here today; 2,596 of you have to earn your way into the final round, and there are only 13 remaining spots. Duel ruthlessly and efficiently; try to finish off your opponent as quickly or they may just have a surprise that will win them the duel. My data also predicts that about 1,300 of you will be going home defeated today, 650 of you tomorrow, 325 of you the next day, 160 of you the next, 80 of you the next, 40 of you after that and then 27 of you the next day will be gone, leaving the final 13 who will qualify for the final rounds of the tournament. Yugi Moto, (sighs) Joey Wheeler, and myself have already qualified for the final rounds. You had better be on your best dueling skills and abilities because one move could cost you the chance to be in the finals. You are able to choose your own opponents during this phase of the tournament but when you enter the final round, if you should, your opponents will be decided by mere chance. (Screen zooms in to some green balls with numbers on them to the left of Kaiba), these balls marked numbers 1-16 decide who your opponents will be during the phase of the tournament and don't forget the overall winner is declared the best in the world, earns 100 million dollars to spend as they wish and these three Egyptian God cards (holds up Obelisk, Slifer, and Ra), out of you 2600 duelists, 2599 of you will end up failing your quest. That is all, if you have not qualified to the final round, when the fireworks go up, the tournament will officially begin!" Kaiba told everyone.
"Soon," Kaiba thought, when Yugi loses to me in a duel and I obtain his Millennium Puzzle, and the three Egyptian God cards the world will quake at my name!!"
A/N: Pretty short huh? Having writers block. Anyway, be nice and give me a review with compliments or constructive criticism or ideas for made up cards, the duels begin next in Chapter 3: Dragon Master (1)
