Chapter 2
Disclaimer:" I own none of the monsters/cards or the names of any characters seen in the popular television show or seen in the comics.
1 week had passed since the finals in North America. Kaiba had already well over one hundred duelists in his tournament and his company had the right amount of pods for each duelist. He still had room for a few more so he called up some of the older duelists for a shot at re-proving themselves as a good duelist. Some of these names were Mako Tsunami, Weevil Underwood, Rex Raptor and Mai Valentine.
Kaiba wanted to start this tournament as fast as possible since he was excited to acquire the Egyptian god cards. Ishizu had decided that Yugi and Kaiba had proved that they had what it took to look after the god cards. Kaiba was still in possession of Obelisk the tormentor, but Yugi had possession of The Saint God Osirus and The winged dragon of Ra. Yugi and his friends were preparing for the tournament by purchasing packages of cards from different series and practicing new strategies. Yugi hadn't acquired any new cards of major value but Joey had a card he had never heard of, Exiled Forces.
"I can't wait until this tournament starts; it's going to be so much fun!" Exclaimed Yugi as he talked to Yami the night before the tournament.
I know, but I sense it's not going to be all fun and games Yugi" said Yami; "I think we should be on our toes all the time, I don't want another scare of loosing our friends."
"I know how you feel, I don't want that either, but we can still have fun, right Yami?" asked Yugi
"Of course Yugi" said Yami
"Wow, I can't believe it's finally here, the virtual world tournament!" exclaimed Tea as her, Joey and Yugi approached Kaiba Corp on Saturday Morning.
"It's a shame that Tristan didn't want to come, it would have been more fun
with him and Duke to come, but they had enough virtual reality to last them a life time" said Joey
"Where is your sister Joey?" asked Tea
"She's at home sick right now, she said good luck" replied Joey.
"That's too bad, well we better hurry home or we'll be late for the presentation." suggested Yugi.
The walked towards the giant building but broke into a jog towards the end and we're running when the hit the front doors. As they walked in they saw duelist all over the place. They recognized a few of them but most of them were completely new. Yugi looked around for some friends but couldn't spot anyone. Kaiba was no where to be seen. Joey saw someone and walked off while Yugi and Tea went to socialize with one of the NA finalists, Rocky Crawford.
"Hello, my name is Yugi and this is my friend, Tea." Introduced Yugi
"Hello" said Tea
"What, oh, hello Yugi, Tea" said Rocky not looking up.
"I saw you and Pint go at it on television last week" said Yugi trying to get Rocky's attention. Rocky looked up as if to walk away but he stopped himself when he saw the Millennium Puzzle.
"What's that around your neck?" asked Rocky as if not hearing a word of Yugi before.
"Oh, it's my Millennium Puzzle, it's one of the 7 Millennium items on earth." Explained Yugi finally sounding important.
"May I see it?" asked Rocky
"I guess so" said Yugi taking off the puzzle and handing it to Rocky.
Rocky looked at the Puzzle for a few seconds and then put it on. The second he put it around his neck he felt a strange presence and the sensation to keep the puzzle and run, run as fast as possible. Rocky quickly took off the puzzle and handed it back to Yugi knowing he'd have the puzzle soon. He was going to leave but then he noticed Tea. He stopped and looked at her for a second. He wasn't sure why, but something about her intrigued him. After a few more seconds, he shook his head and walked of to the back.
"I wonder what that was about" commented Tea as a pair of doors opened on a balcony overhead. Out walked Seto Kaiba and his younger brother, Mokuba.
"Attention all, the Virtual World Tournament is about to begin. Before we head off into cyber space I fell I should explain some new rules. First of all the life points are at 8000 and will reset at the beginning at the start of each new duel. Second, we will be introducing a new aspect of duel monsters, Deck Masters. A Deck Master is like the leader of your deck. Each Monster has been given a unique special ability that we believe best suits it. With this said, there is another way for you to loose the duel aside from your life points reaching zero. If your Deck Master is destroyed as result of battle or the effect of a monster card, you loose the duel. Deck Masters are immune to magic and trap cards but are still affected by cards such as Negate Attack, Wabaku and Swords of Revealing Light. How can a deck master attack? You can summon your deck master at any part of the duel but it is only recommended as a last resort. Also, some cards are illegal in this tournament. You may not use the self-destruct button or any other cards resulting in a tie duel. A tie is unacceptable and any duelist who resorts to these tactics should be ashamed of themselves. Other than that, the normal restrictions apply. There is a special area in my virtual world that you will be able to find only with 10 locator cards. Those of you who were in my battle city tournament will know about locator cards but for the benefit of those who were not there, locator cards are like pieces to a map. When you collect 10 of them they reveal a map to the special area in the world. You will each receive a duel disk, a locator card and then you fill choose your deck from our data basis. We have every updated cards except the elusive Egyptian God cards. You will bring your real cards and give your rarest card to whoever defeats you in a duel. Now every participate please line up in a single fashion to my right and any spectators please go to my left.. Good luck to all and I hope to see the finest duelist in the finals. Oh and one more thing, you may get the chance to duel and eliminate me!"
After Kaiba explained the rules, he turned around and went through the doors with Mokuba and his guards. All of the people in the room headed towards the right except for Tea, another female and what looked like a small squad of cheerleaders. While in line, Yugi thought of his last adventures in the virtual world and how so many things could go amiss.
"I'm probably overreacting" he told himself… "But still."
As Yugi slowly walked in line he kept remembering the look on Rocky's face when he put the Millennium Puzzle around his neck. He couldn't quite put his finger on it, but something didn't feel right. Yugi had received his duel disk and locator card and was in a room filled with pods. Normally this would seem odd put since Yugi had already a fare bit of experience with virtual technology it didn't throw him off. Kaiba re-appeared to call off each duelist in alphabetical order. The last two names called were Mai Valentine and Joey Wheeler. As everyone was getting into their pods Kaiba spoke again
"Anyone who came here with a spectator will be placed in the co-ordinates as the person. For the rest of you, it is completely random were you begin. So good luck"
As Kaiba finished Yugi felt two items placed beside his head and then black.
