I don't own any of the characters (or companies) appearing in this story, nor do I own any board games appearing herein. The only character that is exclusively mine is Judge Hangemhigh. Read on!

"Watch out, Yug! He's pulling out his trump card!" screamed Joey Wheeler from the sidelines.

"Heheheh. That's right, you little worm," replied Seto Kaiba. "Once I use my 'Red-Eyes Deranged Janitor', you're as good as defeated!"

"Hmph. We'll see about that."

Yugi stood confidently in front of his opponent as the fearsome crimson-eyed custodian materialized in front of him. He'd fought fearsome opponents such as Maximillian Pegasus and come out on top despite the odds; he could do it again.

"What with my handsome face, macho pharoah-voice, pointy hair, and merchandising clout, how can anyone beat me?" he thought. "It's time to destroy your pitiful monster!" he yelled. "Go, Dark Magician!"

Yugi placed his card and waited expectantly for his favorite monster to show up, but to his shock the Dark Magician didn't appear on the field. Instead, a little kid with spiky hair and a tail materialized with this guy in a suit with a briefcase beside him. "What the..." Yugi thought.

The man walked slowly toward Yugimoto, stopping about five feet away. "Excuse me," he asked in a gravelly voice, "are you Yugi of the popular kid's anime 'Yu-gi-oh!'?"

"Yeeeesssss, that's me," he hesitantly replied.

"Sir, I'm afraid my client is suing you."

"What?! Why's that?"

"It has come to the attention of Mr. Goku and his creator, Mr. Toriyama, that you are a kid with spiky hair. Is this so?"

"Of course, but--"

"Of course. You have obviously copied this hairdo from Goku, and we will soon be collecting legal reparations."

"B-b-b-but!"

All of the sudden several other figures appeared on the field, and they all ran toward Yugi shouting!

"Yugimoto, I represent Mr. Ash Ketchum and Nintendo, and your collection of cards and millenium pieces resembles Ash's 'Gotta catch 'em all!' activities far too much to be mere coincidence!"

"Yugi, your friend Amy's character design is an mix between that of Case Closed's Amy and Rachel! What do you have to say for that?!"

"Mr. Yugi, I represent Mr. Kabapu of Excel Saga. You have nothing at all in common with that show, but there's blood in the water and money to be made, so we're suing you too!"

Yugi's mouth was hanging open in shock! Why was all of this happening to him? However, there was one way out of this situation, and he knew he'd have to use it.

"Not so fast! I'll play my 'get out of jail free' card. Go, defect in the justice system!!!"

Unfortunately for Yugi, there were two things wrong with his plan:

1.He was not a sports star, and

2.This was a TV show, not Monopoly.

Yugi, Joey, Amy, Mai, and the others were hauled off to jail and sentenced by Judge Hangemhigh to be rerun again and again for the rest of eternity--at the 2:30 A.M. slot! Bwahahahaha!

THE END

Heehee! Hoho! I've always wanted to do that to one of these super-popular cartoon characters. Seriously, though, I have nothing against Yugi & Friends, although I do think I raised a valid point by showing its similiarities with ... everything else. Oh well.

This is my first fanfic, so please read and review. Flames are okie-dokie as long as you are giving valid criticism, i.e. don't just say "I hated it." Say WHY you hated it. (But of course, you loved it, right?)
