/ / Yami talking to Yugi
Chapter 2 of Awakening of the Pharaoh
The morning was peaceful for Yugi as he slept. The first rays of summer daylight woke him up. Meanwhile, Yami had been sleeping within Yugi's puzzle until a loud hammering noise woke him. Yugi heard this as well; he put the puzzle around his neck and ran outside.
Yugi's grandfather finished hammering and greeted his grandson. Yugi looked up at the newly put up poster and through his eyes, Yami read it as well. It read: The Greatest Dueling Tournament in history! Come to Duelist Island! The picture below was of a Blue-Eyes White Dragon and a Red-Eyes Black Dragon firing two blasts merging to show an overview of a large island, it was surrounded by many environments and in the center, was a pyramid, which over looked the whole island. At the bottom of the poster, it talked about the prize; 10,000,000 yen there was also an emblem of Kaiba Corp.
Yugi's Grandfather watched his grandson stare at the poster. He gave a small smile and said, " Yugi, you have an invitation you know." "What? Where? Let me see grandpa!" Yugi's grandfather gave him his letter and went back inside the shop. Yugi read the invitation and looked through the other contents of the envelope. There were two cards, a Millennium Puzzle and a Millennium Rod. An overview of the island was shown on a map as well. "I have to tell Jounouchi!" Yugi whispered.
Yugi ran into the shop and right into Jounouchi.
"I got an invitation to the new tournament!" he told his friend.
"What! Do I have one?"
"Let's go to your house and find out!"
"Hold on, let me get dressed first."
"Hurry up Jounouchi!"
Jounouchi quickly got dressed and came back out. "Let's go!"
The two friends ran to his house as fast as they could. When they got there, Jounouchi started looking through his mailbox. "There's nothing here…" "What? Jou, you're one of the best duelists I know." "Thanks, but it won't get me into that tournament." As they walked into the apartment, the phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Jou? It's Ryou; I got an invitation letter to the international Duel Monsters Tournament, did you get one?"
"No, Yugi did though."
"It's hosted by Kaiba Corp." he replied
"That jerk C.E.O probably did not pass me as a competitor…"
"Who? Kaiba?" Ryou asked absent-mindedly.
"No, the OTHER C.E.O, yes, it's Kaiba!"
"Sorry, how about I meet you guys at the train station and we can start thinking up our plan for the tournament."
"Okay, we'll see you there, later."
"Well what did he say?" Yugi asked.
"Meet him at the train station." Jounouchi replied in a rather cold tone.
As they headed out, Serenity tried to catch up to them. "Big Brother! You forgot your…invitation letter…"
~DOMINO STATION~
Ryou and Yugi were dueling, while Jounouchi ate a burger. "That brings you to zero, Ryou." "How did you do that?" Yugi carefully explained the steps of his move as Jounouchi saw Honda and Anzu heading towards them.
"What are you doing here?"
"We were looking for you and Serenity said you went here." Honda replied.
"Hurry up! We saw Kaiba's blimp with a T.V screen passing over downtown!"
The four friends ran to the plaza where Kaiba made his announcement.
"Attention Duelists!" The screen said.
" The newest Dueling tournament has begun at Duelist Sanctuary! This shall prove who is the King of Duelists! Remember that this competition is for the best in the world, each of you has been given two entry cards that are required so that you may travel to the island. There you will duel to get to the finals, be careful as the island has surprises for you as you travel the island. You have three days to prepare, I expect each of you to come. Now I shall introduce the Commissioner of the Duelist Sanctuary Tournament, Isis Ishatal! "
The screen showed a young Egyptian woman. "Greetings duelists," she said, "You stand now as Champions of Duel Monsters. But this tournament will decide who gets the title of Pharaoh of Duelists. I expect you all to show up at Domino Harbor when it is time. Prepare your decks with cunning, creativity and with pride. Good luck. " The screen faded out after that.
'We better redo our deck, Yami.' Yugi said to the spirit.
/yes, there is no doubt that this tournament will be extremely difficult. /
~Motou Residence~
Yugi had fallen asleep with his cards spread out around him. Then, a shadowed figure appeared seemingly out of nowhere. He began to search the room and spotted Yugi. Through his hood he smiled and took out a knife. 'Soon young one,' he said to himself, 'you will be the late Yugi Motou.' As he attempted to stab his target a blinding light came before him and a hand reached out and caught his arm. "You want to kill me?" Yami said. "If so it will be done in a duel!" he reached into his pocket and pulled out his deck. "Fine," the cloaked figure replied. He smirked, "it shall be done in the Shadow realm!" Yami gasped in surprise, as he did not see a Millennium Item near his enemy. 'How did you…' he thought. A table appeared in between the two. "Let's duel!"
? : 8000
Y: 8000
The hooded figure drew his hand and drew his next card (Giant Orc, Great maju garzett, Goblin Attack Force, Mystical Space Typhoon, Negate and Feral Imp). "I shall go first." He said. "I summon Goblin Attack Force (2300/0)! Then set one card face down." A team of hideous green goblins in armor appeared in front of him. Behind the goblins a face down card appeared.
The Spirit looked through his hand and drew (Skilled Dark Magician, Gazelle King of Mythical Beasts, Chaos Sorcerer, Dark Barrier Force, Book of Secret Arts, and Waboku.) "I summon the Skilled Dark magician (1900/1700) and give him my book of secret arts (SDM 2300/2000)!" A Magician appeared next to Yami, then an orb on his shoulder lighted up.
The figure drew his card. " I sacrifice my goblins to summon the Great Maju Garzett (4600/0)!" The goblins disappeared and in their place a huge demon with an evil face appeared. "Next I'll play my Mystical space typhoon to destroy your book! (SDM 1900/1700) and play Chaos Shield!" Suddenly Yami's monster light up, and the three orbs on his uniform glowed. "What… what's happening?" " We have both played three magic cards which means my skilled dark magician can transform! Monster transformation!" the light stopped and the Dark Magician (2500/2100) stepped out. "He has a special ability to destroy your monster as well!" Yami bluffed. The figure ended his turn.
Yami drew his card. "I summon Retrained Celtic Guardian in attack mode! And play Raigeki." A huge thunder blot blew up the Demon and an elf in armor appeared. "Now attack!" "Not so fast! I activate negate!" The monsters attacks were sent into a hole in front of the hooded figure.
"My turn," he said as he drew. " I'll set a monster in defense position! (Giant Soldier of stone)"
Yami drew his card. "Dark magician, attack!" The stone soldier appeared and blew up. "Now, Retrained Celtic Guardian, attack!" (?: 6600)
"You'll pay for that with my giant orc, attack the elf!" A sickening thud was heard as the Elvin swordsman dropped dead. The orc laid down his weapon after that. (Y: 7950)
"I summon alpha the Magnet Warrior! Attack the Orc!" The demon was electrocuted and blew up. " Now Dark Magican, Dark Magic attack!" The hooded person screamed in pain as the shadow energy hit him.
"I play graceful charity and play monster Reborn!" He managed to say. Behind him a huge shadowed creature began to rise out of the ground. "Your in hell now…" he said smirking.
