Femke seemed very happy looking down at her contestants. They had seemed to assemble in two groups. The group of people that her cousin Seto had invited and the group she had invited there were two contestants that hadn't shown up yet. "That's not very cool I showed up at his house fist he should be here!" The door was pushed open Kyle and his friend Matt walked in at the same time. Kyle was smirking broadly. "The winners are here might as well clear out and just award one of us the prize!" Seto Kiba seemed to growl at this and turns away. Kyle noticed this and smiled some. "Something wrong rich boy?" This seemed only to piss Seto off more he walked to his own separate corner near Yugi and his usual group.

Kyle and Matt on the other hand walked over to their friends Ben, Alex and Deshawn. The greeting was a little odd since Alex was in a neck brace. "What the hell did you do to yourself?" Matt asked annoyed. Alex smiled and responded very cheerfully. "Oh I fell down the stairs yesterday and I hurt myself! IT WAS COOL!" The entire group simply shook their heads. Seto Laughed loudly and spoke so that both groups could hear. "Just like a piece of street trash. I wonder if any of you are worthy of a match with me." Kyle growled but before he could speak Femke spoke out. " Alright then its time to introduce yourself to each other and name the prize you are competing for!"

Yugi went first proclaiming his reason for fighting. "I am here to show my strength as a duelist. And to prove to Seto Kiba I am a better duelist than him. My name is Yugi Moto."

Ben spoke next his tone was somewhat sarcastic as he always spoke that way. "Well I figure that I am just here to make some money. Oh and I want to play. My name's Ben Giorgi."

Marik decided to just speak out next. "I am here to redeem myself by winning a duel monsters competition without any tricks! Refer to me simply as Marik."

Seto Kiba spoke next his tone superior. "I am here to make sure none of you get what you want. My name is Seto Kiba but you may refer to me as Duel God!"

Kyle who really was annoyed at this point cut off matt from speaking. "It's simple if there's money to be made then I'm going ta go get it simple as that. Plus no random good looking girl shows up at your door to invite you to a tournament if they don't think you're good! My name's Kyle."

Matt spoke now smirking some. "I am simply here to enjoy a few games of duel monsters! My name just happens to be Matt."

Joey took his turn at speaking. "I am here to represent for my friends and to get some money to spend on a new car! The name's Joey Wheeler!"

Alex spoke now as Kyle punched him in the side to make him talk. "Oh um I'm here because Ben told me to come. My name's... Um. uh. Alex! Yeah that's it."

Bakura spoke in his soft English accent. "I am here because I heard that it would be a good opportunity to show my skills as a duelist. My name is Ryou Bakura."

Deshawn decided to speak last. "My name is Deshawn Hooshing. I am so high right now!"

Femke smiled brightly. "Well contestants from your responses I will send you randomly into the arena the rest of us will remain here and watch from the screen!" Femke pointed to a huge TV screen that was almost the entire wall. "So lets Get started shall we! The first round match ups are as follows."

"Now that our stage is set let the duels begin! Kyle and Seto please step into the ever changing room."

Kyle smirked as he slipped his deck into his duel disk. "I hope you like getting your ass beat I'm going to tear you to pieces!"

Kiba spoke quietly in his pompous annoying tone. "You will understand soon enough trash."

Kyle and Seto stepped through a large metal door into a dark room.
