A/N Hey! Long time no see! It's been ages since I updated, but here we go. A completely new chapter just for you. This chapter is going to be long so be prepared and we're finally going to have some action. Anyway. Enjoy!
Yugi: What about the disclaimer?
Crystalia: Oh yes…today's disclaimer will be done by my cutie Sora from Kingdom Hearts. Go Ahead!
Sora: Er…Crystalia doesn't own anything but the plot and she promises to stop calling the WB asking them if she can own Yu-Gi-Oh! Instead she plans to write them and bribe then with M&M's …that's not going to work!
Crystalia: . Don't you have to go save the world or something?
Sora: Don't you have a fic to write?
Crystalia: . Point taken…and now on to the fic!
Chapter 17 Pegasus"We'll take my limo to get to Pegasus' home in Japan, since I'm sure he's here and not in America." Seto said. "I still can't believe I let you talk me into this Mokuba…"
"Don't worry Big Brother…I'm sure that everything will be fine once we get to the Eye from Pegasus. I can't wait until we get there. I heard he has every duel monster card there is."
"You're not going…" Seto said suddenly, causing his little brother to look at him with a mixture of confusion and anger.
"What do you mean? Why can't I go?" Mokuba asked.
"Ancient pharaohs, magic, and Pegasus all spell danger in my book. You're staying here where I know you'll be safe." Kaiba said as they left his office. Yugi and is friends were in his living room waiting for him to return with news of the location of Pegasus. "It's time to go."
"Just when I was getting comfortable." Jou said from the couch.
"Get your feet off that couch mongrel!" Seto spat before turning back to Mokuba. "I'll make it up to you, promise."
"Fine." The younger boy said, pouting. "Just remember that you promised."
Seto nodded before heading for the door. "I never break my promises Mokuba…" he muttered as he left, with Yugi, Yami, Jou, Ryou, and Anzu behind him. (Bakura decided to go in the Ring)
Mokuba watched as the door closed and then sighed. "Just come back in one piece Big Brother…" he whispered before heading up to his room.

Pegasus glanced up from his desk just as one of his body guards entered.
"Mr. Pegasus…there's a Miss Sakuya downstairs to see you. She says she has an appointment." He said.
Pegasus raised and eyebrow. "I don't know any Sakuya. Send her away." He said about to go back to his work.
The guard turned and left the room. Pegasus hadn't been alone one minute before he heard a loud 'thump' Suddenly his Millennium Eye began to glow. He had been doing a bit of research on the Item and soon learned about it's purpose and was well aware that the glow was a way of the Egyptian artifact so to let him know that another Millennium Item was close by.
He was prepared when a girl with long white hair stepped into his office, followed by another girl. Both smiled and took a seat in front of his desk.
"Is there anything I can do for you before I call the police?" he asked, knowing full well that he wouldn't call the authorities on the holder of a Millennium Item. In fact he wanted her to stay for a while, at least until he could find out what Item she had and figure out a way that he could get it from her.
"My name is Sakuya and this is Isia and we're here to get something you have of ours."
Pegasus raised an eyebrow. "I have nothing of yours…"
"You have the Millennium Eye, do you not?" Sakuya said calmly.
"Yes."
"Then you have something of mine." She said, standing. Isia only smiled as Pegasus stood also.
"So you've come here so to take my Millennium Eye, is that right?" Pegasus asked, not giving her time to respond. "Well than you're going to be disappointed."
Sakuya laughed. "So you want to do this the hard way! Perfect! We'll play a game for it. If I win I get your Millennium Eye and if you win you can have this." She said, raising her Millennium Bell for him to see. She smiled when she saw a look of greed flash across his face.
"What kind of game?" Pegasus asked, wryly.
"Duel Monsters of coarse…that is unless you're afraid." Sakuya challenged.
Now it was Pegasus' turn to laugh. "You must not know who you're up against. I am the creature of the game and I have the most powerful deck ever to exist."
"Ha!" Sakuya laughed. "It's you who doesn't know what their up against. You may have introduced this game to the world now, but it was around when pharaohs still walked this planet. Since you except my challenge then we shall begin to play."
"I assume you won't want to use my holo-arena?" Pegasus said, reaching for his deck. "Let me warn you. I know about the Shadow Realm and I know its penalties…"
"Perfect!" Sakuya said, reaching for her own deck. There was a wild look in her eyes. "I think I'll enjoy this duel. She turned to Isia. "I can sense that Yugioh is coming…see to it that he doesn't interfere."
"Of coarse." Isia said before teleporting out of the room. Sakuya smiled darkly as she turned back to Pegasus who was trying not to let his surprise show.
"Let the Shadow Game begin."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Wow…this is where he lives?" Jou asked as Kaiba's limo pulled up to the castle like home that belonged to Pegasus. It looked weird to see a castle in the middle of Domino City, but stranger things had happened. The group got out of the limo and walked up to the gate.
"Do you think they will let us in?" Ryou asked. As soon as he said that the gates swung open by themselves.
"Maybe he knows we're coming?" Yugi suggested, sending shivers through some of the group.
"There's only one way to find out." Jou said taking a step forward. Once the others saw that he was still alive, they followed and made their way to the front door of the castle. Jou knocked, but there was no answer. Suddenly the speaker by the side of the door came on.
"To enter you must answer my riddle." Came a female voice. "What can you see, but can't be seen?"
"Huh? What kind of question is that?" Jou asked.
"That voice sounds familiar…" Ryou muttered.
"You can see it…but it can't be seen…" Yugi muttered. "That's easy! It's a puzzle!"
"Correct!" the voice said. "Second riddle. I follow you all the time, but you can never follow me. What am I?"
"What is this? Twenty questions?" Seto asked impatiently.
"Hmm…you follow me but….I know. Your a shadow!" Anzu said.
"Correct again. With this final question you shall be able to enter the home of Pegasus." The voice said. "I can be seen but not touched. I can yell but can't be heard. What am I?"
The group stood, confused by the final question. "I don't get it." Jou complained.
"What can you see but not touch….can yell but not be heard…" Yami pondered. "Hold on…your reflection…that's it."
"Correct." The voice said. Ryou suddenly remembered where he had heard that voice from and gasped.
"It's a trap!" he shouted, but by then it was too late. The ground beneath them opened up and the group fell into darkness.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"So this is the Shadow Realm…" Pegasus muttered.
"Yes…are you ready to begin or should I go first?" Sakuya asked. She was glad that her hikari was inside the Bell, not that it mattered. As her descendent Crystalia was immune to the life stealing effects of the Shadow Realm, unlike other hikaris.
"Ladies first."
"Thanks." Sakuya said, drawing five cards.Sakuya 4000lp to Pegasus 4000lp ( I want to let you all know that Sakuya's deck is has some cards that I made up, but you won't see most of them until later, so for now…don't worry) "I place one card on face down in defense mode and end my turn."
"Hmm…" Pegasus muttered, drawing his five cards. (Again I only know like…six cards Pegasus has in his deck so bare with me. I'm trying to remember how he got Seto's dragon to be a toon dragon…) "I play the Witty Phantom (1400/1300) in attack mode.
Both watched as the tuxedo clad monster appeared between them and attacked Sakuya's face down card. Pegasus smiled when the card was destroyed revealing Souls of the Forgotten (900/200)
"Good move Pegasus…but it only get harder from here." Sakuya said drawing a card. And let me show you what you're really up against. I summon Twin-Headed Dragon to the field. (2800/2400)
With a bolt of lightning a large dark pink dragon appeared, towering over Pegasus' Witty Phantom. "Attack!" Sakuya commanded. A ball of white lightning formed in the dragon's mouth and shot across the fields destroying the Phantom and taking a chunk of Pegasus's life points with it. Sakuya 4000lp to Pegasus 2600lp
Surprisingly Pegasus was not worried. Sure the dragon was strong, but he had been working on a new card of duel monsters and now would be one of the best times to try it out.
"I place on card face down on the field and a monster in defense and end my turn." Pegasus said.
"Fine…I summon Doma the Angel of Silence to the field in defense . (1600/1400) and I place a card face down as well." Sakuya said interested to see what Pegasus was up to.
"I'll play a magic card…" Pegasus said, receiving a surprised look from Sakuya. "But not just any magic card. This is a special prototype card, just for you. I play toon world."
Sakuya watched as the card turned into a book, well it wasn't any normal book. It was a pop up book, filled with castles and towers.
"Now here comes the best part of Toon World…of every card I sacrifice…I can take one of my opponents cards…but wait there's more…I can make it into a toon…" Pegasus said, enjoying Sakuya's look of confusion. "Let me show you…I sacrifice The Immortal of Thunder (1599/1300)"
The card vanished and landed in Pegasus' graveyard. "Now I take your Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon…and it goes into Toon World"
Sakuya watched as her card vanished into the pages of the book and watched it slam shut and begin to spin madly. "I would now like to introduce you to the new, the improved, Toon Twin-Thunder Dragon! (2800/2400)"
The book popped open and a streak of bright pink shot out. Much to Sakuya's annoyance her once fierce dragon was now bright pink and…well…cute…as cute as a two headed lizard could be that is…
"And since you have no way to defend yourself I'll attack with my new dragon. Destroy Doma!" Pegasus commanded.
The pink dragon laughed insanely and began blowing bubbles at Sakuya's monster destroying her instantly.
"Like I said before…you're good Pegasus, but not good enough." Sakuya said. "I place one card face down and another in defense. I end my turn."
"I'll place a card face down and command Toon Twin-Thunder Dragon to attack!"
Again the dragon fired bubbles but this time it's target wasn't destroyed. Instead the card flipped revealing Wall Shadow (1600/3000)
"Damn…" Pegasus muttered. Sakuya 4000lp to Pegasus 2400lp
"It's my turn now…first I'll play Dark Wingweaver. (2750/2400) An angel with large black wings wearing dark blue robes appeared. "Then I'll play this magic card. Dragon Curse…it cuts the attack power of every dragon in half lowering your Toon Twin-Thunder Dragon attack power to a messily 1400…now Dark Wingweaver attack!"
The dark angel flew above the toon dragon and sent black volts of electricity raining down upon it, destroying the dragon. Sakuya 4000lp to Pegasus 1050lp
Pegasus began to laugh, but it was a nervous laugh. "There's no way I'm going to let you win and take my Millennium Eye!"
"We'll see…" Sakuya said calmly.
"You seem to forget about my Toon World…" Pegasus said.
"You have no monsters to offer."
"No…but I do have Soul Exchange I play that magic card now and sacrifice your Wall Shadow!" At his words Sakuya's Wall Shadow vanished. "And I'll use that sacrifice so to take your Dark Wingweaver and turn her into Toon Dark Wingweaver."
Sakuya's monster was pulled into Toon World and once again it's pages shut and it began to spin. When it released Sakuya's monster it had faerie like wings and was wearing a black frilly dress.
"You'll pay for that one Pegasus…" Sakuya threatened. She didn't like the way he was demeaning her cards by making them look like foolish chibis.
"Ha! You'll be the one paying in life points…by my next turn that is…oh and to make things a bit better I'll have my Toon Dark Wingweaver enter Toon World."
"What?" Sakuya asked as the monster vanished into the book and it slammed shut.
"Oh…didn't I tell you that if I put one of my monsters in defense mode, then they can go into Toon World…which is resistant to all magic and trap cards? I did tall you that before right?"
Sakuya growled. "No…you didn't."
This game just got a lot harder.
