Chapter 6: The Duel (Part one)
Malik woke up the next morning to find that a fraction of his duel monsters card collection was soaked in water. He turned and saw Malfoy and his friends sitting in the corner snickering loudly. Malik raised his millennium rod. Power radiated from it because of his anger. It was time for a little payback...
The first day of Hogwarts, and the first tag team duel in a long time... Seto Kaiba yawned and got dressed. He got his duel disc, and crept over to Yugi and Ryou's bedside tables. He opened an unnoticeable flap in their duel discs, and inserted a tiny chip which allowed them to work. Immediately, they flashed on, and Kaiba put them back onto their tables and sat at a desk editing his deck. He'd have to install Malik's chip later.
Ryou yawned in his bed. Still half-asleep, he checked his clock. AM 5:50.
/...Time to get up.../ Ryou yawned again and got out of bed. He saw Yugi, Mokuba and Seto were already up.
"He lives!" said Mokuba sarcastically. "You were supposed to be up twenty minutes ago so you can edit your deck before the duel,"
"Sorry..." Ryou blushed with embarrassment because he did agree to wake up early.
"Give me your sorrys later, we gotta go in 5 minutes," Seto closed his laptop and put it into his briefcase.
Ryou looked shocked, and somehow got everything ready and followed Kaiba and Yugi downstairs. Seto made the crucial mistake of wearing his silver Kaiba Corp. trench coat- the one he wore in battle city. He finally realized his mistake as he walked into the great hall. He was going to be stampeded by a herd of fan-girls after this one...
"I bet you 25 Galleons that Kaiba will be stampeded by fan-girls after this duel," said Mokuba.
"Yeah? Well, I was going to bet the same thing!" Ryou chuckled.
"Oh well... There's always Malik you can bet on!" Yugi laughed.
"Ha! Yeah ^__^"
"Oh really?" Seto interrupted. He had obviously been listening to their conversation. "I bet 30 Galleons that Malik will be a victim to the evil fan-girls too."
"You're on!" Yugi, Mokuba and Ryou shouted at once.
"In a matter of fact, Malik should be here by now..." Seto muttered.
"Maybe something happened like-" Yugi was cut off by Malik, who just entered the pretty much empty, great hall.
"That Malfoy kid destroyed half of my card collection!" Malik yelled as he ran over to the gang. (Well, sort of...)
"You mean technically?" Ryou asked raising an eyebrow.
"Whatever..."
"Battle City rules?" Asked Yugi changing the subject. Everyone nodded. The battle city rules sure spiced up the game; also, their decks were specially modified for them. "Oh yeah, 8000 life points each this time, I don't want this duel to be over that quick since our god cards can destroy us in one shot with 2000 or 4000" Again they nodded.
"I'm only dueling if I get to use The Winged Dragon of Ra!" Malik crossed his arms stubbornly. Yugi agreed, and let him borrow the card.
"Is Bakura okay without a god card?" Asked Yugi.
"I dunno, really but-oof-" Ryou started, but then Yami Bakura took over.
"I don't need a wimpy Egyptian god card to win," He said as stubborn as Malik. "But we play with no safety regulations." He grinned.
"Don't worry, that just makes the game better," Yami took over assuring Bakura that he was not going to back off a challenge.
"Excellent, though it's not fair since Yugi gets one god card is it?" Bakura's grin widened.
"Kaiba, you can use Obelisk." Seto took the card, and put it into his deck without saying anything.
"Now, to adjust my deck a bit-" Ryou took out his deck and looked at his cards.
"Can you hurry up Bakura? We are already off schedule; the duel should have started 5 minutes ago!" Seto said irritably. Soon enough, people flooded into the hall, until a quarter of it was full. They have come to watch the duel. He then remembered something. He opened his pocket and took out a miniature chip like the ones in Yugi and Ryou's duel discs. "Put this in your duel disc, Malik. This marvel of technology allows anyone to use the duel discs and any other type of electronics to work here. Of course, it was made by me. I have already inserted one in Yugi and Ryou's..."
"Cool! That means I can use my phone, and my MP3, and my walkman, and my palm, and my portable TV, and my Game Boy Advance SP, and my digital watch, and my virtual dueling simulator which fits in my pocket, and my pocket pc, and my mini fan, and my radio and my Nokia NGage and..." Malik inserted the chip into the duel disc as he listed all of the electronics he brought to Hogwarts not knowing that they would all be useless.
"Sorry to disappoint you, but this only works on Kaiba Corp. technology as in the duel disc. It won't work with others," Kaiba smiled as he saw the look of disappointment on Malik's face.
Harry, Ron and Hermione went over to greet them.
"What's this all about?" Asked Ron beckoning to the crowd surrounding them, including Dumbledore. Then he eyed Seto's trench coat. "What the..."
"We're having a duel," said Seto impatiently.
"What's that?" Asked Harry.
"You'll see," answered Seto. He noticed Hermione and saw she was holding about 9 duel monsters cards. "I think Hermione would know," he added hoping that Hermione would explain.
Mokuba suddenly took out his wand, and yelled 'Sonorous!' His voice was then magnified so he could be heard by everyone over the chattering of the students eating breakfast.
"STUDENTS OF HOGWARTS! UH... YOU ARE ABOUT TO WITNESS THE MOST EXCITING EVENT TODAY! AND PROBRABLY THIS WEEK, AND MAYBE THIS MONTH! AND MAYBE THIS YEAR! UHH... MAYBE NOT, BUT WHAT I MEAN, IS IT IS GOING TO BE A DOUBLE DUEL! SETO KAIBA, AND YUGI MOTO V.S. RYOU BAKURA AND MALIK ISHTAR! THE DUEL WILL BEGIN SHORTLY!!!." Mokuba yelled over the crowd. Harry just looked at him. "I used to be a commentator in all of Seto's duel tourneys." Said Mokuba. "Oh! Look! It's starting!"
"DUEL!" All four shouted. Yugi and Ryou both transformed into Yami Yugi and Yami Bakura. Their duel discs reacted to the dueling command, and activated. The crowd gasped in awe, including the muggle-borns who were familiar with the card game, but not with the duel disc technology which was only released in Japan and America.
Seto's LP: 8000
Malik's LP: 8000
Yami Yugi's LP: 8000
Yami Bakura's LP: 8000
"I'll go first!" Shouted Malik. He drew his cards and smiled evilly. "I play 4 cards face down," The crowd gasped again as 4 holographic cards appeared on the field. "And I play Makiura the Destructor (1600/1200), in attack mode! I end my turn. A very realistic looking Makiura the Destructor appeared waving his weapon almost as if threatening Yami and Seto.
~~FOUR cards face-down?~~
~Let's not attack him before we find a way to get rid of them~
/Or maybe he's using reverse psychology on you/
~Don't help us Ryou, we are dueling against each-other ya know...~
~~No no no... Yugi you got this all wrong! Maybe HE'S the one using reverse psychology on us!~~
~Or, he could be using reverse-reverse psychology so we will believe him, because he is telling the truth~
/Okay... I'm lost... I'd better leave/
~~Or he could be using reverse-reverse-re-~~
~Whatever...~ Yugi sighed. ~We'll just stick to the original plan~
~*~Meanwhile...~*~
Ron's mouth was hanging open as he stared at the holographic images floating right above the floor.
"You ain't seen nothin' yet, Ron," said Mokuba cooly.
"Is is... is that magic???"
"Nope, it's Seto's holographic technology which uses projectors. It's solar powered, so you don't always have to replace it's batteries..."
"Huh?"
"Never mind..."
It was Bakura's turn. He drew five cards and smiled too.
"I play Pot of Greed. This allows me to draw two more cards. I place one card face down, and summon this monster face-down in defense-mode. It's your end Yugi!" Bakura laughed manically, and ended his turn.
"What's up with him?" Ron asked.
"Oh, it's his 'game face' replied Mokuba.
"Okay,"
Harry, on the other hand, was not convinced. He had watched Yugi and Ryou very carefully, and noticed a slight change in their appearance, but there was a big difference in there personalities and behavior. The usually quiet Ryou was now laughing like a maniac, and the nice Yugi, was glaring at his friend.
Mokuba pointed his wand to his throat and yelled 'Sonorous' again, and his voice was loud once again.
"THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW THE RULES OF DUEL MONSTERS CAN READ THE QUICK AND EASY INSTRUCTIONS ON THE LITTLE BOOKS WHICH ARE GIVEN OUT BY FRED AND GEORGE WEASLY. OR, YOU CAN ASK HERMIONE."
"HEY!" Hermione cried indignantly.
It was Seto's turn now he drew five cards from his modified deck, and then grinned. How could his luck be any better?
Malik woke up the next morning to find that a fraction of his duel monsters card collection was soaked in water. He turned and saw Malfoy and his friends sitting in the corner snickering loudly.
