Chapter One
It begins

"Come on!" Joey shouted, dropping his cards. It was the first day of summer vacation and the gang was at the Game Shop.

"Don't worry Joey, you dueled good!" Yugi said reassuringly. Joey sighed and picked up his cards.

"I dunno Yug, ever since Battle City, I gettin badder at dulein!"

"Joey you're good! You can still beat me. By the way, badder isn't a word." Tea said. Joey glared at her.

"Yo its summer, I officially turned off my brain." He said, shuffling his cards. Tristan snickered.

"I didn't know you had a brain." He muttered under his breath. Joey stood up, holding out a fist.

"Whadda did ya say?" Joey shouted. Tristan stood up and copied Joey's pose. When they were about to lunge at each other, the bell on the Game Shop door tinkled. Yugi looked over and saw two men in dark blue suits walk in. They were both wearing dark sunglasses. On man held two envelopes. The other was holding a briefcase.

"Can I help you?" Yugi asked. The men stopped in front of the counter.

"Hey...are dose Kaiba's goons?" Joey asked Tristan. They had obviously forgotten they were arguing. Tristan shrugged.

"Are you Yugi Mouto?" The man with the envelopes asked, ignoring Yugi's question. Yugi nodded. "Do you know a Mister Joey Wheeler?"

"Hey! Dat's me!" Joey said. The man nodded.

"Mr. Jonathan Williams has invited you to participate in his tournament."

Yugi's eyes widen. He could feel Yami was listening intently. The man with the briefcase coughed impatiently. The man with the envelopes glared at him and slammed the envelopes on the counter.

"All the information is in the envelopes. One for you and Mr. Wheeler. If you choose to accept this invitation be at the train station on Thursday of next week." Without another the word, both men turned and left. Everyone was quiet and only spoke when the motor of the men's car died away.

"So..." Joey said, breaking the silence. "You gonna read it?" Yugi blinked a few times and nodded. He picked up his envelope and ripped it open. He took at the letter and began reading.

'Dear Mr. Yugi Moto,
It seems you are quite the duelist.. I have been watching you. Your dueling in Duelist Kingdome and Battle City have intrigued me. So you are invited to a tournament in Egypt I am holding. You are to arrive at the Dimino Train Station at 11:23. If you choose to enter, there is a ticket in this envelope. You will be taking train 25. Hope to see you there!

Mr. Jonathan Williams
President of Wolf Corporations'

When Yugi was done, Joey reached and ripped open his envelope, taking out the train ticket. "Hey, I got two other's in here." He said, taking out the extras.

"I guess those are ours..." Tristan muttered. Tea however, was silent. Yugi noticed this.

"Are you alright?" He asked. When Tea didn't answer he said her name a few times/

"Hm?" she asked. Yugi sighed.

"Are you alright?" he asked again. Tea put on a fake smile and nodded.

"Yea I'm fine. So are you going?"

Yugi shrugged. "I have to ask Grandpa..."

"I can go..." Joey said, handing the extra tickets to Tristan and Tea. They took them.

"AH! It's 2:00!" Tristan shouted when he checked his watch. Joey jumped up.

"Oh no we're gonna miss it!" Joey shouted. Without saying goodbye they ran out the door. Yugi chuckled when he saw, out the store window, Joey trip then jump back up and run off. Tea stood up, grabbing her purse.

"Well I better go; I have wash to do..." She said. Yugi nodded and waved goodbye as Tea left the shop.

/Are we going to go? / Yami asked. Yugi smiled. Yami was trying to sound calm, but he could still hear the excitement in his voice.

Probably... Yugi said back. Yami grinned inside his soul room.

Well we better get ready...let's work on the deck...

/Yami! The tournament in a week! /

So...?

Yugi sighed then agreed with Yami. He closed the game shop then trudged upstairs, while Yami thought of new strategies.

(Meanwhile)

Ryou stared out his window, watching two men in tuxedos, drive away in a black car. In his hand was an envelope. They hadn't really said anything just said he was invited to a tournament. He sighed as he opened the envelope. Reading the letter he couldn't help but shiver. He could feel Bakura thinking...and planning. Yami and Yugi where probably invited. He was about to trash the envelope when everything grew black and he passed out.

In Ryou's place stood Bakura. He read the envelope over again and grinned, his fangs showing.

"This will be fun..." he muttered to himself.

(At Kaiba Corp...)

Seto Kaiba sat at his desk. An email was up on his computer screen.

He was mad.

He was mad that someone had the nerve to email him on his private email address. He was mad that someone had the nerve to bother him at work. He mad that someone had the nerve to invite him, Seto Kaiba, to a tournament after he announced to the press he was taking a vacation from dueling. He was sure that the statement was broadcasted all over the world.

"Big brother?" Mokuba said, poking his head in. Kaiba quickly slammed the laptop close and looked over to his brother.

"What is it Mokuba?" He asked, a hint of annoyance was in his voice. Mokuba walked in, taking a seat in a chair infonr of Kaiba's desk.

"You should take a day off...you're tired. You haven't slept in days and you are never at home."

Kaiba couldn't help but calm down. Mokuba was the only one he really cared about, and Mokuba was the only one that cared about him. He shook his head.

"Come on! You have bags under your eyes and, well, I'm worried about you!" Mokuba shouted, standing up. Kaiba frowned.

"Mokuba I'm busy, can you please come back later?" he said, rather then asked. Mokuba sighed, walking out the door. When he was sure Mokuba was gone, Kaiba stood up and looked at his window. He could see all of Domino City. Messaging his temples he debated on what he should do. Mokuba was right; he hadn't had a day off in weeks. Then the tournament letter popped up in his head. Kaiba thought for a moment then smirked.

One little tournament wouldn't hurt...

(Later that day)

Tea sat on her bed; a few hours ago it started to rain. She watched as they hit the window. She sighed, laying back.
Yugi had called a few hours earlier saying he could go on the tournament. For some reason she had a bad feeling about this tournament. Ever since Yugi solved the puzzled, it seemed that where ever they went, some other psycho was trying to get there hands on it. This tournament seemed different from the others. She had never heard of Wolf Corporation. Most companies that held duel monster tournaments where on the news every other day.

'But Yugi would know...' she thought. 'He has been through so much, I'm sure he's making the right choice...'

"Tea!" Her mother shouted from downstairs. "Dinner!"

"Coming!" Tea shouted. She stood up and looked into the mirror on her wall.

'Whatever comes our way...' she thought. 'We'll stand together!'

(Somewhere in Egypt)

A female figure stood in the shadows. On the floor was a bloody figure. Limbs where twisted in ways they weren't suppose to be. Body parts lay around the body. The female brought a dagger up to her mouth, licking the sweet blood off of it.

"Having fun?" A male asked, walking into the room. The female, who had finished licking the dagger, threw it carelessly to the side.

"Eric betrayed us, he deserved to die." She muttered. The male chuckled darkly, walking towards to girl. "So..." she said, walking away from him. "You finished doing the job?" The male nodded. "Good" She said walking out the door. The male glared after her. He took one final look at the body before walking out the door.

So far everything was going according to plan...
