Yu-Gi-Oh!-Duel Monsters: Dark Designs
Duel Seven – Kaiba defeated! Yugi steps up
"VICTORY CRUSHER!" Cried Kaiba as he ordered his monster to attack. The Dragon shot a golden burst from its mouth. "I told you that you shouldn't have challenged me!" As Sol watched the attack head directly towards him, a sly grin formed on his face.
"Reverse card open." Spoke Sol, stretching a twisted hand towards one of his face down cards. "Wall of Glass!" A Thick wall made of sparkling glass stretched out in front of Sol like a shield. The Victory Dragon's burst attack slammed into the glass with tremendous force, but couldn't penetrate it. "This card creates a thick wall of pristine glass that is treated as a monster with the same attack and defense as the monster attacking it. Your Victory Dragon's attack is 2400 and its defense is 3200. Since the Wall was placed in defense, your Dragon's attack bounced off its defense, causing you to lose the difference to your life points, which is more than you've got left Kaiba." Explained Sol, staring at his opponent through the glass wall.
"No... Mokuba..." muttered Kaiba lifelessly as his life points dropped to 0. He lost... he couldn't save his only brother. Was he really that weak that he couldn't protect his family?
"Now Kaiba, don't look so glum!" spoke Sol as he walked towards Kaiba, the glass wall shattering into thousands of shards, the rest of the images created by the duel disks vanishing. "Don't worry about Mokuba. If do as I say and keep your mouth shut, I might return him to you once this is all over." Sol was now standing before the sinking Kaiba, looking down upon him. "Now come... we have many things to discuss." Spoke Sol, holding a hand out to him. Kaiba looked up at him with lifeless eyes. What else could he do? He was out of options. His only choice was to listen and work for Sol. Narrowing his eyes; he took Sol's hands and pulled himself back up to his feet.

The next day...
"What?! Are you serious Yugi?!" shouted Joey, who had risen to his feet, both fists clenched tight in anger. Yugi had gathered his friends together at his house the day after the incident to speak to them about what had happened. Yugi nodded, staring at his best friend.
"Yeah... Right after we spilt up they jumped me and Tea and then challenged me to a duel." As Yugi explained to his friends, he adverted his gaze to his partner, who was leaning against a wall on the opposite side of the room. He looked lost in thought over what had occurred. Tristan, who was sitting Indian style on the floor, slammed both his fists into his knees.
"Why is it that you always have people attacking you Yugi? Pegasus, Bakura's evil spirit, Marik and his Rare Hunters... I'm beginning to lose count here!" shouted Tristan. Tea, who was holding a pack of ice to the back of her head, stared at Tristan with beady eyes.
"Wow, losing count after only three people?" joked Tea. While Tristan began to defend himself, Joey began to grow irritated.
"How the hell can you two joke around at a time like this?! Shouldn't we be taking this a little more seriously? I mean, weren't you the one who got their head hurt Tea?" Shot Joey, pointing a finger at her.
Tea looked over to Yugi. He looked so distraught. All these people chasing after him must really be getting to him. People waiting in the dark for him, stalking him in Duel Monster Tournaments, stealing his friends and family's souls. She could only imagine the horrible feeling he must be going through. A few moments of silence had passed, until it was broken by the shouting of Yugi's grandfather Sugoruko.
"Hey, kids! Come down stairs and check this out! Kaiba's on T.V. announcing something!" called Sugoruko from downstairs. This caught the Pharaoh's attention, who had finally broken out of his train of thought.
*Kaiba?* First the incident at night, and now an announcement from Kaiba. He had a feeling that this would be important. Peeling himself away from the wall, he walked over to the side of his partner. *What do you think is going on?* asked the spirit.
*I don't know, but I think we should check what's going on down stairs.* answered Yugi. Both of them nodded in agreement and headed down the stairs after their friends. As the group made it into the living room, they all gathered round the television to see what was going on. Grandpa was sitting on the sofa, leaning closer towards the T.V., remote in hand. "What's going on Grandpa?" asked Yugi, watching Kaiba, whom was dressed in a white suit, getting ready to give an announcement.
"Shh... just watch Yugi." Said Sugoruko.
"Calling all duelists. I'm here to announce a brand new tournament, held by my company Kaiba Corporation. This tournament will be held in the now finished Kaiba Corp Coliseum, located in the center of Domino City. The tournament is held to crown a duelist as "The King of Games". As you may or may not know, Yugi Motou, winner of the Battle City Tournament, is the current reigning "King of Games". He will be invited to participate and defend his title against the challengers."
Everyone immediately fixed their gaze on Yugi, who was staring intensely at the television.
"Anyone willing enough to enter this competition must register at the Kaiba Corp Coliseum and participate in a mini-competition to qualify for the real deal, for a spot in the "KC Duelist League Championship"!
"Duelist League Championship?" whispered Yugi, both him and his counterpart watching on.
I wish all who are entering good luck." And with that said, the broadcast ended. Grandpa held the remote towards the T.V. and turned it off.
"So... Yugi." Grandpa turned his gaze towards his grandson. "Are you going to enter and defend your title?" Everyone leaned in a little closer towards Yugi, waiting to hear his answer.
"... Yes. I will go and defend my title." Answered Yugi with a determined look on his face. His friend's each rested a hand on his shoulder and began offering words of advice, minus Tea. A worried look crept on her face. She knew that something was going on, that it wasn't alright.
"Y-Yugi... I don't think you should enter this tournament..." spoke up Tea. Everyone grew silent; their eye's falling on her. "Just think about. Every time you enter one of these Duel Monsters Tournaments, you get into all kinds of trouble!" said Tea in a voice full of concern. "I don't doubt for a second that those guys that attacked us will be there, waiting for you!" Yugi rose up from the sofa, still sporting his game face.
"All the more reason to enter Tea." Said Yugi. This comment caught everyone off guard. Yugi never really came out and said things like that.
"Yugi..." said Tristan and Joey in response.
"I can't just let people like them push me around anymore. They want to challenge me? Then I accept!" spoke Yugi, hold a fist before. After letting his response sink in, Joey balled up his fists and put on his game face.
"Damn right Yugi! Well go in there headstrong and take 'em all out!" shouted Joey, who was beginning to get all fired up now. Yugi turned to face his best friend, trying to toughen up just like him.
"Yeah!" both of them locked arms. Joey would always be Yugi's best friend, but he was also going in this to win it all. Yugi knew and respected this and welcomed Joey's challenge. While the three men huddled up and began to strategize, Tea looked on in silence. What had happened to Yugi just now? He seemed so brave... just as brave as the spirit that rested within him. Maybe they would be all right. Yugi and Joey were both strong duelists. Together, with their friends cheering them on, they could defeat all adversaries.
"Alright Yugi." Spoke up Tea. "If you're going to enter, I'll be there to cheer you on!" said Tea with a warm smile on her face. Yugi smiled up at her.
"Thanks Tea." The spirit of the Pharaoh appeared beside his counterpart.
*So your going to enter... you know that we probably are going to run into our attackers there, as well as their leader. Your still up for it?* questioned the spirit. The younger Yugi nodded towards his partner which brought a smile to spirits face. *Then I'm with you in this. With me and you working together in this, we'll come out on top!*
The rest of the day was spent on strategizing for the upcoming tournament. The gang would head over to the Coliseum the first thing next morning.
