Disclaimer: Sadly, I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh or any of its characters except
for the ones I made up. Also, some stuff might be wrong like what really
became of the Egyptian God cards, but I can't translate Japanese so I have
to wait for the damn show to hurry up. Anyway, Enjoy!
Several months after Yugi defeated Marik and took won all 3 the Egyptian God cards, Ishizu Ishtar called Yugi for a private meeting into asking for the return of 3 Egyptian God cards, Yugi and the Spirit of the Pharaoh both agreed, knowing that with these cards wielded terrible destruction and not even they could insure the card's safety so they gave them to Ishizu to seal them away never to be used again...
Two years had passed since then and in Domino High School Yugi wasn't paying attention to the health teacher's instructions on the correct way to treat an unconscious victim; he was busy looking at his Millennium Puzzle, remembering when he would duel people of great skill, but since then, not an interesting thing has come up.
Then, the school bell rang and school was out for the weekend. When Yugi was walking down the hall, a young man with shaggy blonde hair, dressed in the same blue school uniform as Yugi ran towards him.
"Hey Yuge," he said gasping for air from all the running. "Didja hear? Kaiba... he didn't enter... the world... champ-championship.
"What!?" Yugi was as shocked as Joey was. "Kaiba didn't enter?"
"Yeah," Joey told him and now caught his breath. "He's hid himself away in his place, and some guy from America waltzed in and claimed the title."
"Well whoever it was, it would be nice to meet them," Yugi told Joey.
"And duel 'em, right? Joey said with a grin.
Yugi laughed and said "If it ever comes up."
Tea and Tristan met up with them and they all began walking towards Yugi's game shop while talking about numerous things, Duel Monsters, their past duels, and what they thought would come in the future.
When they arrived to the game shop, they got in and marveled at some of the new cards Yugi's Grandpa had just gotten.
"Man, those would look good in my deck," Joey commented looking at an Emerald Dragon for $30, and a Tyrant Dragon for $75, sadly they were out of his price range.
"But you spent the last of your money on some booster packs the other day and didn't get anything worthwhile from those." Tea told Joey. "I might have some money in my room, but thirty bucks isn't likely," Joey said.
"Well I could help you out there," Yugi said to him.
"But remember, Joey's tab in the store's already 231 bucks," Tristan added. "When are ya payin' that off Joe?"
"When I enter my next tournament of course!" Joey said with confidence.
"But it's been two years since your last tournament, which you placed fourth in," Tristan added.
"Ugh don't remind me," Joey said. "But I plan to do much better maybe I'll enter the world championships and knock Miss Priss, Kaiba off his high- horse!"
"Okay, Joey you do that," Tristan answered sarcastically but Joey didn't seem to care and then a door off to the side of the game store opened and an old man looking a lot like Yugi came out.
"Welcome home, Yugi," said Yugi's Grandpa coming out of the back room holding some really rare single cards and placing them inside a glass case.
"Hi Grandpa," said Yugi. "Are those the new cards?"
"Yep," he said. "These cards will make Duel Monsters far more interesting."
"Oh wait, isn't the TV broadcasting of the World Championships today?" Yugi asked.
"Hmm, I think so," Grandpa said, "Well I won't bother you kids."
With that, Yugi, Joey, Tristan, and Tea went upstairs to the living room, Tristan sat down on the couch, Tea sat on the other side, Joey sat from across the coffee table and Yugi turned on the TV, sat down leaning his back against the coffee table and already a duel was underway.
"Here we see for his second appearance here, and current Nationals Champion, Ryan Stone from the USA taking on Taro Tanaka of Japan both eager to earn the other seat to challenge Michael Laskow also from the USA and this is also Laskow's third appearance here in the World Championships and before this he was the Regional Champion of the Northeast in America as well as the former Nationals Champion 3 years ago, this may be the very first World Championships where Japan isn't in the finals," said the English (or Japanese in this case) commentator. "This is probably the cause of defending world champion Seto Kaiba of Japan not entering..."
"Yeah that was strange," Yugi told the others. "It's not like Kaiba to show off and prove he's still number one."
On the field the life point count was at
Ryan: 900 and
Taro: 2700
Ryan had 2 cards in his hand, three magic or trap cards face down on the field and one Zoa (2600/1900) on the field in attack mode.
Taro had 3 cards in his hand, two magic or trap cards face down, one Mask of the Accursed face up on the field on Zoa, one 1 Spirit Reaper (300/200) in defense mode, and one Gaia the Fierce Knight (2300/2100).
-Taro's turn-
Taro drew a card, played Giant Soldier of Stone in Defense Mode and flipped one of his facedown cards, Ring of Magnetism decreasing Zoa to 2100/1400 and flipped his other facedown card, Black Luster Ritual. He sacrificed Gaia the Fierce Knight and Giant Soldier of Stone to bring out his ritual monster, Black Luster Soldier (3000/2500) ending his turn.
-Ryan's turn-
Ryan drew a card but there was nothing he could do and his sullen face showed it and he ended his turn.
-Taro's turn-
Taro initiated Chaos Soldier to attack but Ryan answered back by activating one of his face-down cards, Metalmorph destroying Ring of Magnetism and Mask of the Accursed, by turning his Zoa into Metal Zoa (3000/2300) and he flipped his other face down card, Limiter Removal doubling Metal Zoa's attack to 6000 and destroyed his Chaos Soldier as well as Taro's life points (-300).
"There, you've seen it folks!" exclaimed the commentator. "This is the first all-American and non-Japan finals ever. This is history in the making! Michael Laskow VS Ryan Stone in the title for World Champion!"
Taro and Ryan shook hands and Ryan walked away to get ready for the final match.
"Wow," responded Tristan. "Never thought I'd see the day Japan wasn't there."
"Yeah if Kaiba was there, Ryan would have had it much tougher, he'd have probably lost," Yugi said.
"So 'cause Kaiba's havin' a hissy fit, these two guys are dueling?" Joey asked.
"Pretty much," answered Tristan. "I wonder how these guys would do against Kaiba."
"I hope he'd get the snot kicked out of him!" laughed Joey. "And Mr. Blue- Eyes would be begging for mercy, oh, when will their duel start!?"
Right after Joey said that, their duel had begun. They both stepped onto a dueling platform that has all the holographic images and they each drew 5 cards and from a previous coin toss, Michael would go first.
Life Point Count
Michael: 4000 Ryan: 4000
He drew a card and played Great Angus (1800/600) in attack mode and with that, a giant, scarred, red monster with protruding tusks appeared onto the field and he also played 3 magic or trap cards facedown.
-Ryan's turn-
Ryan drew a card, played Heavy Storm destroying all of Michael's magic and trap cards (Mirror Force, Magic Cylinder, and Trap Hole), then played Block Attack putting Great Angus in defense mode, then played Harpie's Brother (1800/600) and a man with red-feathered wings and a triple-bladed claw on his right arm appeared and equipped it with Big Bang Shot making its power climb to 2200 and sent it to attack Great Angus. The monster did so by flying high up and came crashing down and sliced the red beast with an explosion, also hitting Michael and his life points dropped by 1500.
Michael: 2500
Ryan: 4000
"Oh man Michael's just got his butt kicked major and that was Ryan's opening move!" shouted Joey.
"Don't count Michael out yet, Joey," replied Yugi. "I think he has something planned."
-Michael's turn-
Michael drew a card and played one card facedown, and also played the magic card De-Spell destroying Big Bang Shot as well as Harpie's Brother, removing him from the duel and he played his final card face down in defense mode ending his turn.
-Ryan's turn-
Ryan drew a card and played La Jinn the Mystical Genie of the Lamp (1800/1000) in attack mode and attacked his face down card. The card was Cyber Jar and its effect activated. It exploded greatly destroying both La Jinn and itself, and then Michael and Ryan picked up 5 cards. Ryan special summoned one Archfiend Soldier (1900/1500), one Master Kyonshee (1750/1000), one Mechanicalchaser (1850/800), and one Giant Red Seasnake (1800/800), his other card was the magic card Polymerization which was placed in his hand.
Michael special summoned 2 cards face down in defense mode (Aqua Madoor 1200/2000, and Giant Soldier of Stone 1300/2000) and his other cards were Trap Hole, Shadow Ghoul (1600/1300), and Fissure.
-Michael's turn-
Michael drew a card, played the magic card Fissure to destroy the monster with the weakest attack, Master Kyonshee and he also played 2 magic or trap cards face down and ended his turn.
-Ryan's turn-
Ryan drew a card, sacrificed his Giant Red Seasnake to bring out Jinzo (2400/1500) and the red serpent vanished and was replaced by a tall man with futuristic armor all over and attacked and destroyed his facedown card, Giant Soldier of Stone and Michael flipped one of his facedown card, Scapegoat bringing out four different colored sheep (0/0) in defense mode but two were quickly destroyed by Ryan's other 2 monsters.
-Michael's turn-
Michael drew a card, played one card face down in defense mode and ended his turn.
-Ryan's turn-
Ryan drew a card and played the magic card Fairy Meteor Crush on Jinzo and attacked one of the scapegoats devastating Michael even further. Ryan initiated his other two monsters, Mechanicalchaser and Archfiend Soldier to destroy his remaining scapegoat and the facedown card. However, the face down card was Newdoria and its effect allowed Michael to destroy any monster on the field, of course he chose Jinzo. And Suddenly, the man of metal and the hideous Newdoria vanished from the field.
Michael: 100
Ryan: 4000
-Michael's turn-
Michael drew a card, and played the magic card Pot of Greed, and drew two more cards. They were just what he needed. He first played Dark Hole sucking in the two monsters on Ryan's side and his facedown defender then he played his own monster card Yata-Garasu and a small crow appeared and attacked Ryan for 200 damage. Plus, Ryan had to skip his draw step and the little crow flew back into Michael's hand.
Michael: 100 Ryan: 3800
-Ryan's turn-
Ryan couldn't play any of his monsters as they were too strong and he couldn't draw anything either so he had to pass, but he knew was done for.
Yata-Garasu would continue attacking him and there was nothing Ryan could do and so he placed his hand on his deck to concede the duel but Michael ignored it and waited for his life-points dropped to zero, after 19 turns.
Michael: 100 Ryan: 0
"There it is folks! Michael Laskow is the World Champion! The World Champion!!" announced the commentator as the crowd cheered. Ryan didn't look to happy from the results but he still shook Michael's hand as they left the platform and Michael stood in the center of the arena, basked in all his glory.
"Wow," responded Joey. "I was sure Ryan was gonna win it but then that guy drew that sky rat."
"Never underestimate your enemy," Yugi told Joey. "That card is extremely rare and used correctly, can win a duel."
"Still, it was a cheap trick; it requires almost no strategy, a total no- brainer." Joey added.
"No-brainer, huh? Sounds like the perfect card for you, Scarecrow," remarked Tristan.
"What!?" said Joey getting up. "Well what's with that haircut? Do you slay vampires with that spike?"
Tristan stormed up and before the two hotheads could engage in a battle of fisticuffs, Yugi's Grandpa came upstairs with a package in his hand.
"Yugi, you've got a package," said Grandpa. "It was delivered by some men in suits, must be pretty important if they bothered to deliver it."
Tristan and Joey simmered down and looked at Yugi who took the package and opened up the taped up side and out came a videotape with a card, a pure white one on both sides. He looked at the tape and put it in the VCR and pressed play.
"Who was it from?" asked Tristan.
"The address on the box said from 'Salazar Enterprises,'" answered Yugi. "I never heard of them."
The tape was almost finished loading and they were all wondering what could be on it...
