[at the hotel]
Joey: And that's how I creamed Rex Raptor without even losing a single life point
Tea: [bored] Really.. how intresting
[door opens]
Duke: Yugi? Did you find a battle?
Yugi: [bows head] yeah I did
Tea: [concerned] How.. was it?
Yugi: [raises head] [laughs] I won!!! against Arcana.
Tristan: That creepy magician? Are the ghouls back?
Yugi: No,no of course not he is after Marik for revenge.. he thinks he will appear in this tournament [looks out window]
Tea: No.. surely he won't will he? Yugi? [worried]
Yugi: I see no sign of it yet, but I will stay aware, Bakura is acting odd once again and so my mind is lead to wonder [stares at ground]
Joey: Where is that guy anyway?
Yugi: I don't know..
Tristan: Maybe when he comes back we should confront him?
Yugi: What's the use? If Marik is back confronting Bakura will not help us in any way. [smiles] I think we should just rest up for now yeah?
Tea: Sure thing Yugi, Night!! [walks out of room]
Yugi: [looks at room door] Oh I'm in the other room are'nt I?
Tristan: Yeah, you and Bakura!
Yugi: All right see ya!! [leaves]
Joey: Trist what we gonna do about this guy [gestures towards Duke]
Tristan: [chuckles] Poor guy.. he was working so hard on his deck strategy he must have conked out.. Guess we should leave em.
Joey: You're the boss.. see ya in the morning bud for another duelist mashing day
Tristan: [laughs] You got it!
[next morning]
Tristan: [yawns] [scratches eyes] Anyone up? [looks up] Joey?
Joey: [throws note on bed] Duke said he's gone out to duel someone, he says some duelists only come out at night.
Tristan: Not the kinda duelists that I would want to be facing..
Joey: [shrugs] I know what you mean, I suggest we head out there now and try to stop em?
Tristan: [looks at clock] But its 6 am!!
Joey: Fine you stay here if you want [grabs jacket] I'm heading out!
Tristan: I'll head out in a few minutes ok [turns in bed]
[outside]
Joey: [looks around battle square] No sign of any duelists, maybe Duke found nobody.
Kaiba: What the hell are you doing out here?
Joey: [turns around] Hey moneybags out to snag some locater cards off duelists half asleep.
Kaiba: You think you are so..
Joey: [continues] It's the only way you can get em.
Kaiba: Actually Wheeler I am on duty, the duty of removing below par duelists from the tournament.
Joey: Do below par duelists have 3 locater cards and a god card?
Kaiba: apparently so..
Joey: [angry] Take out your cards and lets get this show on the road!!
Kaiba: [releases projectors] 2 Locater cards wheeler, an easy victory for me if I do say so.
Joey: Lets just see Draw Kaiba [sweet I get my first solo victory against moneybags does it get any sweeter?]
[meanwhile]
Yugi: [gets out of bed] Yami, Bakura did not return last night [looks out window] I fear the worst.
Yami: [crosses arms] Just because bakura's spirit has returned does not mean Marik has. In fact we don't even know that Bakura's spirit has returned!!
Yugi: [blank look]
Yami: I see your point but..
[in the room opposite]
Cherry: so watta you think [twirls vibrantly]
Tea: You are not dueling in that are you?
Cherry: [looks down at short leather skirt, shimmering black boots and tight pink tee-shirt] Whats wrong with it
Tea: [nervous] It's a bit ermm.. trampy?
Cherry: [laughs] Tea... puu-lease, I'm a girl who has the body so why can't I show it to the world [winks] the guys really dig it.
Tea: If that's what you want [Too bad I could never wear something like that]
Cherry: [brushes long blonde hair] Well.. [sharply] Yes it is!
Tea: Can I ask you something? Why do you wear that dueling? Are you planning on meeting a guy while dueling?
Cherry: [shakes head] Tea rule no.1 Always look your best as the perfect guy could come along at any time. Rule no.2 Dress sharply to lull your foes into a false sense of security. My clothes are skimpy but I can assure you my dueling skills are not.
Tea: Intresting..
[Back at the dueling scene]
Kaiba: Watch and weep Wheeler [holds out card] I summon Kmouri Dragon [1500/1200] and I add 2 cards face down
Joey: [draws] [All right I drew my Rocket Warrior I can destroy Kaiba with it] I summon Rocket Warrior [1600/1200] [But wait Kaiba must want me to attack, why else would he have summoned a weak monster?]
Kaiba: Wheeler I'm waiting
Joey: I end my turn
Kaiba: [why didn't he attack? Now I have to find another way to destroy his monster] I summon Saggi the dark clown in defence [500/1500]. And I end my turn
Joey: I play Mystical Space Tycoon to destroy your first magic/trap card
Kaiba: [not that card!!]
Joey: I will have to take my chances with the other one so now I play Armoured Lizard [1500/1200] So now Rocket Warrior use Invincible mode on Komouri Dragon [1000/1200] And now Armoured Lizard destroy it
Kaiba 3500 Joey 4000
Kaiba: [draws] [delighted] I sacrifice my dark clown for Sword Stalker [2000/1500]
Joey: This aint good
Kaiba: Now Sword Stalker destroy his Rocket Warrior

Kaiba: and now activate running shoes [card flips face up] So I attack again. Destroy his lizard!!
Joey 3100 Kaiba 3500
Joey: [yewouch.. man that one hury me a lot..]

Kaiba: [draws] [Yes Obelisk my God card.. he shall be destroyed by it!!] I play uraby [1500/1200] on the field and one card face down [folds arms]
Joey: I sacrifice my Island Turtle for my Flame Swordsman [1800/1600] [looks at hand] and I shall add..
Kaiba: [flips card] Trap hole..
Joey: [angry] Say what?
[Flame swordsman is destroyed]
Kaiba: I play one monster card face down and I user my swordstalker to attack you directly!! [ I could destroy Wheeler now but I would much rather let my god card devestate him]
Joey 1100 Kaiba 3500
Joey: [draws] [closes eyes] Heart of the cards guide me [looks at card] This is what I'm talking bout. I play Scape Goats [4 sheep tokens spread across the field]

Joey: It's huge!!
Kaiba: Attack his first little sheep.
Joey: [draws] [ok so my trap cards wont work and magic will only work for 1 turn so I am limited a LOT. To win this I need to summon Onyx] [looks at card] hmm [my Reliable card.. I won this during the battle island and it allowed me to summon the card which I placed most trust in.. but my red eyes wont help me now will it?] [looks at hand] Your history Kiaba!!
Kiaba: I grow weary of your amateur dueling
Joey: Is that so [smiles] Well watch this moneybags. [plays magic card] I play my reliable magic card to summon my Red Eyes Black Dragon to the field [2400/2000]
Kiaba: You plan for that to defeat a god card?
Joey: In this form no.. I play polymerisation to combine it with the Summoned Skull in my deck to form the Black Skull Dragon [3200/2800]
Kiaba: It is still too far off..
Joey: I add Dragon nails to raise its attack [4000/2800]
Kiaba: You fool you plan to defeat me with that? [draws] [bah I don't have a monster in my hand now to power up Obelisk] I will pass my go
Joey: One card face down and I play swordsman of Lanstar [500/1200] in defence.
Kiaba: I play my Mystic Horseman [1400/1300] and I allow Obelisk to devour him to power himself up [5400/5300] Now destroy his Black Skull Dragon
Joey: [delighted] Activate Swords of revealing light
Kiaba: Bah..
Joey: Now I summon Panther Warrior [2000/1200]
Kiaba: Pass
Joey: Are you watching Kiaba
Kiaba: [eyes open] you are going to summon it now? [Bah I need not fear as my god card is far greater then his]
Joey: [serious] I sacrifice all 3 of monsters to summon [holy music] Onyx Flare of Satan [3000/3000]
[wicked Devil rises from the ground]
Joey: Take a look at my life points Onyx, I have lost 2900 so your power rises [5900/5900]
Kiaba: Its stronger?
Joey: You betcha Kiaba [laughs] This is gonna be sweet, Destroy his god card!!
[Obelisk falls to the ground]
Kiaba: No way..
[lightning strikes the ground beside Kiaba]
Kiaba: The gods they are angry..
Kiaba 3000
Joey: You wanna give up now Kiaba and hand over 2 locater cards and your god card [woah I cant believe it I'm actually owning Kiaba!!]
Kiaba: [looks at deck] No.. [raises head] I am the greatest duelist who ever lived and I can defeat a god card even without my own. [draws] I play 2 cards first card exchange so we both swap cards.
Joey: [looks at Kiabas hand] awesome the Blue Eyes White Dragon.. this is so going into my hand
Kiaba: [Bah.. all just weakling cards] This pot of greed will do.
Kiaba: Now I play this card on the field and I use Card Destruction.
Joey: So much for ol Blue eyes
Kiaba: And now Wheeler prepare for the end. For you do not mess with a duelist like me [points to Joey]
Joey: You are not serious are you [points to Onyx] Hello? Egyptain god card!!
Kiaba: I am aware of that.. but watch this, I play Goblins secret rememdy to heal 2000lp but not on me on you!!
Joey 3100
Joey: uh-oh Onyx loses strength [3900/3900]
Kiaba: And Next I play monster reborn to revive the greatest duel monster who ever lived
Joey: Uh-oh Obelisk is coming back [At least monster reborn will only last for one turn on it]
[blinding light monster appears]
Joey: [folds arms] I can handle your pathetic WHAT?? [stares at white Dragon]
Kiaba: The BLUE EYES WHITE DRAGON!! [3000/2500]
Joey: [what is Kiaba up to?]
Kiaba: Confused Wheeler.. as you should be.. [plays magic card] Behold the magic card mystical swap, I exchange a magic card in my hand for one in my graveyard. So I bring back my Monster Reborn card
Joey: What? Again?
Kaiba: And I think you know Who I am Reviving.. Obelisk the Tormenter [4000/4000]
[winged god appears]
Joey: Uh-oh two almighty monsters against me and I have nothing to protect myself. [looks at Onyx card] [looks at life points] [smiles] [It may be a long shot but I don't think that I am out of it just yet..]
Kaiba: Obelisk.. destroy his God card
[black devil melts into the ground]
[lightning strikes the ground beside Joey]
Joey: [jolts] Yaaaa.. that was close
Kaiba: [serious] Now Blue Eyes attack him directly.. White Lightning!!
Joey 100 Kaiba 3000
Kaiba: You don't belong in this tournament Wheeler [smug smirk]
Joey: [How can he say that after I brought the match to him?] [draws] C'mon cards Joey needs your help. This is it [looks at card] The Time Wizard card!! Go Time Wizard [500/400] Time.. magic!!
Kaiba: So your final hope boils down to luck? How pathetic [little does this fool know that Obelisk is not affected by effects]
[dial stops on success]
Joey: [waves] So long Blue eyes [blue eyes is destroyed]
Kaiba 1500
Joey: And Obelisk
[Obelisk remains]
Joey: huh? Damn I forgot that monster effects don't work on him..
Kaiba: My turn!!
Joey: [smug] You know what else does'nt work? magic cards
[Obelisk dissapears]
Kaiba: [Crap I forgot about that.. and now I have nothing!!]
[meanwhile]
Marik: [looks into cyrstal illusion showing duel] Hmm intresting, two god cards are clashing together. Those two fools will soon pay the price mistreating such a precious card.
[Illusion dissapears]
Marik: Joey Wheeler does not know the first thing about God cards and so he surely cannot use it to good effect. Seto Kaiba on the other hand uses Obelisk to the best of its ability and yet it is curious how he is struggling against Wheeler!!
[Millenium rod is summoned]
Marik: I shall leave the darkness now to pay these fools a visit [grabs rod] This fool should be alright until I return [looks at preston]
Joey: And that's how I creamed Rex Raptor without even losing a single life point
