Dungeons and Blue Eyes White Dragons
This fan fiction is, in a nutshell, based on the Final Fantasy Pencil and Paper Role Playing Game (FF P&P RPG), which is based on Final Fantasy and Dungeons and Dragons. Enjoy.
Chapter One: A New Game
Yugi Moto was still, staring blankly at the wall. He paid little (if not no) attention to the duel between Joey and Tristan taking place before him.
"Yeah, well I use Polymerization, bringin' out da' Flame Swordsman from ma' fusion deck! How d'ya' like 'em apples, eh, Tristan?"
"I like 'em just fine, Joey, 'cuz I activate Magic Jammer."
"Aw, crap!"
'Bring your friends after school, Yugi,' the voice of Solomon Moto echoed through his mind, 'I have a game to show you!'
"Hey, guys," Yugi interrupted, "Do you want to come over after school today?"
"Sure, Yug," Joey grinned.
"Alright," Tristan nodded.
"Of course, Yugi," Tea beamed.
"Why not," Duke shrugged.
Bakura merely gave a nod, not speaking. Yugi sighed inwardly, relieved that all his friends could come. Still, there was something else he wanted. He looked to his right, where a youth sat, typing on his laptop.
"Kaiba," Yugi asked quietly, "Would you like to come, too?"
"No, thank you, Yugi," Kaiba stated coldly, "I have no time to come over and play."
"Alright, but Grandpa says he has a new game. I don't know anything about it, but he says it's really cool."
"I'm sure I will survive without it."
"Okay, Kaiba," Yugi smiled politely, "If you change your mind, just come to the games shop."
"I won't."

The bell rang, indicating the door to the Turtle Games Shop had opened. Solomon Moto looked up from behind the counter, where he was struggling with a printer. The gang walked in, Yugi leading them. The stench of ink had long filled the air.
"Hi, Grandpa," Yugi smiled, "I brought my friends. Can we play the game now?"
Solomon grinned, "Not quite. First you have to make your characters!"
Yugi cocked his head slightly to the side, "What's this game like?"
"Well…" Solomon began, "This game has no cards, no board, nothing. It's unlike any game you've ever played before."
"Then what do we use?" Joey asked.
"You have a piece of paper that says who you are," Solomon stated.
"That's it?" Tristan says blankly.
"The rest is all in our imaginations."
"…this'll be fun…" Joey whispered to Tristan, "…I guess we'll humour the old timer…"
Tristan nodded back as Bakura stepped forward, "May we please have these character sheets?"
"Character sheets?" Solomon blinked, "I never said they were character sheets, how did you know that?"
"This is like Dungeon and Dragons, isn't it?" Bakura smiled, "I love that game…"
"Yes, it is," Solomon replied, "It's based on it. It's called the Final Fantasy Pencil and Paper Role Playing Game."
"Final Fantasy?" Joey smirked, "Now we're talkin'! Let's play!"
Solomon handed each of them a piece of paper. On it was listed a spot for name, age, attributes, skills, equipment, and many others. He them placed many pieces of paper before them, stating races, classes, spells, equipment, and other things needed for character creation.
"I'll be a black mage!" Yugi decided, "That way I'm like the Dark Magician!"
"Hmm…a Swordsman can't have a fire sword…" Joey murmured.
"No, but a Magic Knight has the ability to give himself Fire Strike for one attack," Solomon pointed out.
"What's Fire Strike?" Joey asked, confused.
"Fire Strike makes that attack fire elemental, which would be similar to the Flame Swordsman."
"Alright!" Joey shouted, punching the sky.
"I am so a Dancer!" Tea grinned.
"…Gambler, eh?" Duke Devlin grinned.
"…aw…there's nothing like Science Soldier…" Tristan sighed, "I guess I'll take something else…How about Monk, what's that like?"
"Monks are like black-belts. They use martial arts," Solomon explained.
"Cool!" Tristan cheered, writing it down on his page.
"How about you, Bakura?" Solomon asked.
"…I'm not sure…my favorite card is a magic card…" Bakura responded softly, "…what is a Rei Senshi?"
"Rei Senshi is a class that gathers the Souls of monsters he defeats in combat," Solomon began, "They then merge their thoughts with a chosen Soul, gaining attacks and abilities of that monster for a duration of time."
"…I guess that's close to Change of Heart…" Bakura nodded.
The bell rang once more, a cool breeze rushing inside. Seto Kaiba entered, his coat soaked with water from the rain. His face was grin, glancing back and forth.
"My car broke down," Kaiba explained, "I need to use a phone."
As he finished saying this, the lights flickered twice, then went dead. They stood in darkness for a few moments before Joey broke the silence.
"Great. Just great. Now we're trapped with him."
"Trust me, Joey, this is far worse for me than it is for you," Kaiba spat.
"You can stay here until the power comes back if you want, Kaiba," Yugi offered.
"Fine."
"Would you like to join us?" Solomon asked, which caused Joey to attempt to jump at him, though Tristan and Duke held him back.
"If it's better than sitting in the darkness for however many hours the lights are out for…" Kaiba sighed.
Solomon handed him a character sheet. Kaiba filled it out quickly, glancing at the papers before him every so often.
"Dragoon…" Joey sighed, "I never would'a guessed…"
"Now, is everyone ready?" Solomon asked, everybody nodding in response, "Good, as I am the Game Master."
"The wha-?" Joey blinked.
"The Game Master," Solomon explained, "I act as God, basically. I control everything apart from your characters.
"Now, close your eyes. You are in a city, quite a large one. The sun is at its zenith, indicating that it is near noon. The streets are filled with people. A market is to your right, the loud shouts of peddlers trying to sell their wares emerging above the noises of the township. Behind you is an exit, the plains stretching, ending at a massive mountain-range…"

"Where are we?" Yugi asked, looking around the city.
"I dunno'," Joey shrugged, "but I've got a feelin' we should be killin' some villagers! Y'know, to get experience!"
"No, Joey," Bakura shook his head, "We should talk to them. It wouldn't be in character to just run around killing random people. We're the good guys, remember? Let's try and find a quest."
"…alright…" Joey sighed.
"Excuse me," Yugi shouted, walking up to a man, "Is everything all right?"
"Yes," the man replied, "should they not be?"
"Uh…well…that's fine, it's good to be the way you are…" Yugi muttered, then turned to the others, "This will be a bit harder than I thought…"
"Come on, Yugi," Kaiba smirked, "I thought you were the King of Games! Find us a quest!"
"Give him a minute, Kaiba," Duke retorted.
Yugi studied the town, watching each person for a moment before deciding they were probably content. Bakura assisted him, scanning the market. They walked, listening to bits of conversations.
"—half price—"
"—get a cute puppy! Mommy, I want—"
"—tired…need sleep—"
"It's hopeless…" Yugi sighed, sitting on a bench next to a young woman. Tristan sat between them, smiling.
"Hey, nice to meet you," he said to the woman.
"…hello…"
"What's your name?" Tristan asked.
"Cassandra…"
"I'm Tristan Taylor," Tristan grinned, "Has anyone ever told you that you have beautiful eyes?"
"Yes," Cassandra nodded, "my fiancé. He would always tell me that…"
"…uh…I see…" Tristan murmured, swallowing dryly, "Where is he?"
"…the goblins took him away…" Cassandra sniffled, appearing to be on the verge of tears.
Yugi looked over to her, "Could we help?"
"You could try and fight the goblins…"
"Where are they?" Joey asked, grinning.
"To the south-east," Cassandra stated, a glimmer of hope in her eyes, "They live in a cave…and…thank you."
"Let's go!" Joey shouted, walking in a random direction.
"Chihuahua," Kaiba started, "that's north."
"…chihuahua…" Joey muttered angrily.
"Come on, let's go," Yugi urged, pulling at Joey's arm.
~
"So…where are these caves?" Joey asked, looking across the table they were seated at.
Solomon pulled a hand-drawn map from a binder on the table, "South-east of Sennia, the city you were at."
"…right…"
~
The group of seven traveled quickly, crossing the plains to the southern mountain range as fast as possible. They were eager to complete their first quest. Little did they realize that this quest would be tougher than they first anticipated…
