Tea looked around, frustrated. She had been walking around for hours, and couldn't find anyone to duel. She had come close, but then some famous duelist ran up, and all the kids just flocked with the offers. She sighed, and sat down.

"There has to be someone I can duel!"

"Tea?"

Tea looked over to see a friendly face. "Mako!" She said, giving the water duelist a hug. "I didn't know you were here!"

"Well, when I heard that Seto Kaiba was running a new tournament, a figured I should come and check it out." He looked around. "Uh...all alone?"

"Yea, Seto headed out to go find some duelist in the park, I went to the wharf."

Mako raised an eyebrow. "What about Yugi?"

Tea looked at him, and thought. "Yugi..I don't know. I think I saw him and Joey head over to main street."

Mako looked at her in shock, and decided to change the subject. "How goes the tourney for you?"

"No one to challenge."

Mako nodded. "Same with me too." He pulled out two key pieces. "However, I got luck. I found this floating in the ocean."

Tea smiled half-heartedly. "Lucky."

Mako bit his lip, and nodded. "Tell you what, since I didn't win this, it doesn't feel right taking it. So, how about you and me duel. Winner gets a second piece, and loser loses nothing and gets ready for the next duel."

Tea smiled, and stood up. "Sounds great! Your on!" She hit a switch, and her duel disk activated. "For my avatar, I chose Fire Princess."

Mako nodded. "So, a mitress of flame? Well, let's see if the king of the sea can wet you down." He shuffled his deck and drew. "First I will play my Avatar, 7 colored fish!" The multi colored water creature appeared, flopping on the wooden planks of the wharf. Mako frowned. "I guess that wasn't smart. My fish will die outside of the water."

Tea shrugged. "I guess you should hav ethought of that before you began."

Mako raised an eyebrow at Tea's more.direct approach, then smiled. "Luckily, I did think ahead. I activate the Legendary Ocean!"

Tea watched in amazment as they suddenly were ingulfed in a massive wave. It cleared, and she found herself standing on a island. In front of her, Mako stood upon the doorway of a massive city.

"Tea this is the legendary ocean. Sailors told tales of this ancient sea, where the fish grown big and creatures mortal men have never seen swim. It is home of the sea king, and he protects his pets well. I warn you now, you are a stranger here, so be careful what you do."

Tea nodded, and watched the 7 Colored Fish swimming in the water. It glowed, and grew in size. She saw the projector reveal it had gained a 200 bonus.

"Mako, you are right, this is a legendary place. But I think it is time we went to a place of mine!" Mako watched her as she slipped a card into her spell/trap zone. "I activate Molten Destruction!"

Mako suddenly felt the ocean shift, and it seemed to retreat as a massive volcano arose. Tea smiled. "This is the ancient Volcano, where the great monsters of fire live. They gaina 400 attack boost from being at this mighty fire mountain. Now, I will summon the Dark Fire Soldier!" From the mountain leapt the pyro warrior. "Dark Fire Soldier, Twisting Flame Wall!" The wall rushed Mako's avatar, and with a final flap, was roasted. (Mako- 2800)

Mako frowned. "Smart move. I will remember to wait on summoning avatars till I have an upper hand. Which I will get now. First, I will activate two Ground Colapse!" Tea leapt out of the way as 4 holes formed near her. "Oh no!"

"What?"

"I forgot, those holes lay right where a underground river flows. And look what I drew." He held up a second Legendary Ocean. "It's time to put out the mountain!" Water blasted out of the holes, and soon, Tea was on an island again. From below the surface, the grand city arose. "I told you the King of the Sea was always watching. Now, it is time for him to avenge the death of his pet fish." He looked at his hand and smiled. "Did you know that in the old days, sailors were wary the water, for it was believed that some fish carried deadly poison? Well, they were right, for here live the fish that they once feared. I summon Tribe Infecting Virus!"

Tea watched in amazment as 3 sickly fish crawled up to Mako. "Now, watch as these fish infect your deck!" The fish leapt into the water, and crawled to Tea. She tried to get away, but one grabbed her arm, and touched her deck. It glowed, then faded. The fish then retreated.
