A/N: For reference, in this fic Yugi and Anzu are married, Jou and Mai are married and Mokuba and Shizuka are married.
Disclaimer: I don't own YGO or any of the characters in it. I do however own my OCs and I'd like to think the plot is original, though I'm sure someone else has done something similar to it at some point.
Summary: When Yugi and the gang's kids enter a new tournament, they and their parents get more than they bargained for. Is Yugi up for saving the world once again?
Taro Motou looked up from his task of sweeping up the Kame Game Shop as his younger sister Miya came tearing in through the front door, nearly knocking over a display of booster packs on her way.
"Guess what!" she said practically bursting with uncontained excitement.
"I don't know, what?" he asked, holding out a hand to steady the precariously teetering display.
"There's a new Tournament! I just saw one of the posters!" Miya was bouncing up and down now and waving her arms in wild gestures. Taro tried not to flinch as one of her flailing arms came dangerously close to a new display he had only finished arranging a few minutes earlier.
"That's nice Miya," he said watching her wayward arm closely, ready to save anything she might knock over, "are you going to enter?"
"Don't be silly, I only duel for fun!" she said matter-of-factly, "the question is if you're going to enter! You are going to. Aren't you?" she looked closely at him, her arms falling to her sides.
Taro was a world-class duelist, rated 5th in the world. His father and great grandfather (referred to as Grandpa not only by family members but by anyone he met) had taught him everything he knew and he had an inherited talent. Miya had the same natural talent for the game of Duel Monsters, but unlike her brother dueled only for amusement and never in tournaments.
"Probably. Where is it?" Taro watched her seemingly calm arms closely. You could never be sure when they might act up again and he had no desire to spend another hour putting together another display.
"That's the thing!" Miya's arms rose up from their dormant position again, "it's right here in Domino!"
All thoughts of arms and displays left Taro's mind at the mention of a tournament in his hometown, "here? Why would anyone want to have a tournament here?"
"KaibaCorps is hosting it in honor of the 30th anniversary of the original Battle City! Isn't that exciting? Dad was in Battle City!"
Taro nodded his mind running over this new information. A tournament right here in Domino! It was unheard of; well, unheard of since Battle City. Despite it's high duelist population, no one had been interested in holding a tournament in Domino since KaibaCorps 30 years prior. The only company with the resources to organize a tournament in Domino was KaibaCorps and since the unappealing third place finish for Seto Kaiba in Battle City, he hadn't been interested in holding another tournament, until now apparently.
"Is Toshi competing?" Taro wondered aloud. Toshi was Seto Kaiba's nephew and Miya's best friend. He was also someone Taro would definitely like to meet in a duel, though they had competed in a number of tournaments together, they had never met face to face in a duel before. It was likely that Seto Kaiba was holding the tournament in an effort to up his nephew's 4th place world standing.
Miya shrugged, "I dunno, I haven't had a chance to tell him yet. But I guess he probably already knows since KaibaCorps is holding it."
"So what's this tournament called?"
"Battle City."
"That's very original."
Miya giggled and Taro held his breath, hoping she wouldn't start flailing again, "anyway, I just came by to tell you, I'd better go meet Toshi and Yukio now. We're going to see that new movie Terror."
Miya flew back out the door and Taro was happy to go back to sweeping without having to worry about his sister destroying the shop. Though he had considerably more to think about now than he had before, a new Battle City, and he would be competing.
Toshi Kaiba sat outside of the Domino Cineplex watching his younger brother Yukio walk restlessly in circles.
"You're making me dizzy, little brother. Sit down for a minute." He motioned to the bench where he was sitting.
Taking a look at his watch Yukio declared, "she's late."
Toshi laughed, "this is Miya we're talking about, did you really expect her to be on time? Take a load off and sit down. I promise it won't hurt."
Yukio rolled his eyes but complied and slumped onto the bench next to his brother.
After only a few minutes Miya appeared, out of breath and with her dark hair windblown.
"You're late," Yukio said for the second time.
Toshi rolled his eyes and stood, "are we going in or what?"
Miya nodded apparently too out of breath to speak coherently and the three moved into the building.
After regaining her breath, Miya questioned her friends, "did you know all along then? About the tournament?"
Toshi looked over at her surprised, "are the posters up already? I thought they went up tomorrow, but maybe I'm out of date, or maybe I'm not sure of the date. Either way…"
Yukio, confused, looked back and forth between his brother and Miya, "tournament? Posters? What?"
Miya frowned and looked at her friend, "you didn't know? KaibaCorps is holding another Battle City right here in Domino. Taro's going to enter!"
"Another Battle City?" Yukio looked at his brother, "you knew about this? Why didn't you tell me?"
Toshi sighed, "I guess I forgot, Uncle Seto told me when he first decided to organize it and mom and dad knew, I guess I assumed you knew, or that someone else would tell you."
"No one tells me anything! What if I want to enter? Why does no one ever let me in on these things!?" Yukio started pacing.
"You're going to enter?" Toshi was surprised, while he was a quite talented duelist, his brother was quite the opposite. Their uncle had tried to teach them both, but it quickly became apparent that Toshi was the duelist of the family and Seto gave up trying to train Yukio.
"Yes! Don't you think I can? I can be just as good as you and I'm going to prove it!"
Miya and Toshi exchanged looks, not sure how to deal with Yukio.
"You don't have to prove anything, little brother." Toshi said, "Neither of us is any better or worse. We're just different."
Yukio was deflating from his earlier anger and didn't feel like trying to argue anymore with Toshi who rarely argued back. "Yes, big brother."
Miya grinned at her friends and grabbed their arms, "now are we all ready to scream until we lose our voices? I've been waiting to see Terror all week!"
Her friends grinned at her and followed her into the ticket booth.
Later that night Taro found himself discussing Battle City once again, this time with Ronin Jounouchi. They were both sitting in the Game Shop, which had seen little activity for the last couple of hours. Taro was perched on the counter while Ronin leaned back in a chair with his feet propped on the counter.
"I think I'm going to enter Battle City," Ronin announced leaning the chair further back precariously. Taro tensed, ready to jump up and grab his friend should the chair fall from under him. "I know I've never played competitively before, but it's not like I'm a total rookie. Besides, I've got you to tell me how to play with the big boys."
Taro grinned, maybe this tournament would be more than winning and losing duels, in a city he didn't know, surrounded by complete strangers who wanted nothing more than to wipe the floor with him. "You should enter. It would be fun."
"We could kick some ass! I can just imagine it now. You can win, I won't mind, and I'll come second and maybe if I'm feeling generous Kaiba can come third. He's not a bad duelist," Ronin grinned as he planned out the tournament, "say Taro, have you ever dueled Kaiba?"
Taro shook his head, "I've never had the chance. I'd like to though, I've always wondered which of us is better. Not that it really matters that much," Taro added quickly, he didn't like seeming overly competitive with his little sister's best friend, though truth be told he'd like nothing more than to duel Toshi Kaiba and find out which one of them really was the best duelist and it really did matter quite a lot to him. Most of the duels Taro played meant nothing. It was against a stranger for nothing more than a title and some money, sometimes a trophy. But a duel against Toshi meant finding out how good he really was. Could he beat the nephew of Seto Kaiba? Was he as good as his father who had beaten Seto Kaiba? A duel against Toshi meant everything.
Ronin shook his head, "You are the least competitive duelist I have ever met. If I were you I'd be knocking down Kaiba's door for a duel. Well, I guess it's a good thing I'm not you since Kaiba's probably got security guards and electric fencing. And maybe even security dogs…" Ronin shuddered, he was terrified of dogs.
"Anyway," Ronin continued, "Battle City is going to be something to remember. I can feel it."
Hope you liked it! Please r/r! Any feedback is appreciated. Any flames will be used to make smores and will probably amuse me to no end, so if you feel like flaming go right ahead.
