[In Yugi's house]
Yugi: It has been a long week but finally the battle city tournament is gonna start. When I wake up tommorrow it will be time to begin to duel again
Yami: You need your rest before you can think about dueling Yugi [smiles]
Yugi: Yami.. Does it not bother you that we missed out to Preston in the rankings?
Yami: [looks at night sky] Preston is a great duelist and there is no shame in being behind him. It is also worth remembering that performance in school helps little when you have to play a shadow game with the likes of Marik
Yugi: You think Marik will show up?
Yami: I will be surprised if he does'nt. The 4 other god cards will be in the tournie and Marik will want them.
Yugi: But what if I have to play Preston?
Yami: We will defeat him. It's as simple as that. [looks at Yugi's concerned face] Put some trust in Preston, do you remember his role with Marik in the past?
Yugi: How could I forget!
Yami: Yes, 2 years ago after the battle island tournament Marik killed Pegasus and wounded you and Preston. Luckily your friends rescued us but Preston was not as lucky.
Yugi: [sits up] That's when Ishizu came into it!
Yami: Yes Ishizu nursed him back to health and gave him someplace to live in Egypt. Of course she only saw him there while searching for her brother Marik.
Yugi: Marik.. [clenches fist]
Yami: Marik attacked Ishizu and [bows head] killed her shortly afterwards. Before her death Ishizu infused Preston the ancient key of the tombkeepers. Preston attempted to seal Marik away last year by using this power but he failed.. Perhaps this time he will succed. What I am trying to say Yugi is that you need not worry about Preston as he is capable of defeating Marik [looks at Yugi asleep] [nods]
[next morning at Domino Square]
Duke: [to Tristan] Where are the others its starting!
Tristan: Beats me [looks around] everyone is here!! Rex Raptor, Weevil underwood, Blaze, Mai Valentine, Mako Tsunami, Espa Roba and even Bandit Keith.
Joey: Woah [gasps] Did I miss anything?
Tristan: No not yet but..
[Excuse me but will all duelists please report to the central plaza.. I repeat will..]
Tristan: Crap c'mon [looks into distance] I don't see the others maybe they are there already.
Kaiba: Welcome to the 2nd annual Battle city tournament. There are several hundred duelists from many regions taking part. To my left my assistants shall equip you with your duel disk and first two locator cards. The rules are that each duelist must challenge other duelists and wager locator cards. The first duelist to 10 wins. Any questions? Ask my assitant
Tristan: I guess the locator count went up
Bakura: Yeah I guess so [scratches back]
Tristan: Oh hey Bakura! Did you sign up already?
Bakura: Yeah I did, sorry I wasn't in school for a while I was uh.. Sick [looks behind him] Hey theres Yugi and Tea
Yugi: Did we miss anything?
Joey: Nope same rules as before.
[all line up for Duel Disk]
Assistant: [Throws a dueldisk to all 6 of them]
Joey: Ah-hah Feels good to wear one of these babys again
Yugi: Sure does
Kaiba: Don't you worry Wheeler you shant be wearing it for very long. [looks around] What are those 3 doing with Duel Disks [Looks at Tristan,Tea and Duke]
Tristan: We qualfied like everyone else here Kaiba [Shakes fist]
Kaiba: Wow my old school must have gone downhill a lot.
Tristan: [stands forward] Grrr.. Alr
Duke: [interupts] Seto I challenge you to a duel!!
Yugi: [sighs] I was waiting for one of ye to say that
Joey: [releived] I figured it was gonna be me!
Kaiba: [looks at Duke] Ahh yes a master when it comes to Dungeon Dice yet a novice when it comes to Dueling. Do you really need me to project this point erm.. what was your name again?
Duke: [scowls]
Kaiba: Forgive me but I can't be expected to remember every fodders name now can I?
Duke: [withdraws projectors] Lets see who's fodder.
Kaiba: [laughs] LETS DUEL!!
Tea: [turns to Yugi] Can Duke pull this one off?
Yugi: [thinks] Well Kaiba has more power, he uses more direct magic cards and has lots of cards to protect his attack. Duke has a balanced deck with moderate power, moderate defence magic cards and moderate attacking magic cards/trap cards. But I cant see one aspect where Duke is better, He will be able to survive but I dunno about victory.
Duke: [draws] HAHAHA unlucky Kaiba for I drew my 5 best cards in my deck so your in trouble!
Kaiba: The 5 best cards in your deck are still worse then the 5 worst cards in my deck
Duke: [confident] Lets see, I play 2 cards face down and I summon Axe Raider [1700/1150]
Kaiba: [draws] I summon Vorse Raider to the field [1900/1200] and one card face down
Duke: impossible how could it be more powerful then my axe raider?
Kaiba: Attack
Duke: Activate Reinforcements
Kaiba: Activate seven tools of the bandits
Duke 3800 Kaiba 3000
Duke: Hah I am still leading [draws] I play Monster Reborn to revive my axe Raider and I sacrifice it for Swift Mantis [2200/1600] Now Attack!!
Duke 3800 Kaiba 2700
Kaiba: [draws] No more fooling around. I play one card face down and I play Change of Heart so your bug is now on my side of the field. Also I summon this Battle ox [1700/1000] Now both my Monsters attack.
Duke: Activate Magic cylinder so my Mantis attack is reflected back to you
Duke 2100 Kaiba 500
Joey: Yeah alright Duke you got em on the ropes
Duke: [draws] I play DissolveRock [1000/900] in defence and now my mantis destroy him!!
Kaiba: Fool you fell into my trap activate magic Javelin so now I heal Life Points
Duke 2100 Kaiba 2000
Kaiba: Yes I have just drawn the combo that will destroy you!! Go Dragon magician [1200/900] and I play Flute of summoning Dragon so I get to summon 2 Dragon cards from my hand to the field
Yugi: [groans] Here we go..
Kaiba: My first shall be Seyaru [2400/2200] and my second shall be my Blue Eyes [3000/2500].
Duke: uh-oh
Kaiba: Now Blue eyes attack and you too Seyaru
Duke: 1300 Kaiba 2000
Duke: I shall play a card face down and I will set this monster in defence mode
Kaiba: Watch this [holds card above head] I sacrifice my 3 monsters for Obleisk the tormentor!! [4000/4000]
[lightning strikes]
Duke: Its just one card..
Kaiba: Attack his defence card
Duke: activate spellbinding circle
Yugi: [sighs] Traps wont work on it Duke
Kaiba: [laughs] make your final move
Duke: [looks at Yugi]
Yugi: [nods]
Duke: [places hand on deck] I submit Kaiba, I will not give you the pleasure of destroying another one of my monsters. Take my locator card and choose a card from my deck
Kaiba: [grabs locator card] I do not need your pathetic cards in my deck. [Walks away]
Joey: Grr that guy wait until I duel him!!
Tea: You ok Duke?
Duke: Yeah I guess I'm ok..
Bakura: Kaiba is good so don't take it too hard
Duke: Yeah I know I shouldn't have challenged him in the first place..
Yugi: It has been a long week but finally the battle city tournament is gonna start. When I wake up tommorrow it will be time to begin to duel again
