In the midst of the duel Joey began to lose hope already when just one of
his monsters was taking on four monsters, most of them being dragons.
Joey drew his card and said, "I play Pot of Greed, letting me draw two more cards." Joey drew two cards and gasped, 'Now way, I can't believe I drew these.'
"I play one card face down, and I'll sacrifice Dai Grepher and bring out Red-Eyes Black Dragon (2400/2000) and the field card Mountain gives him a total of 2900/2500 and I'll have him attack your Lord of Dragons." Joey's dragon gathered energy from his mouth and fired a black and red fireball directly at the spellcaster reducing him to ashes. "That'll end my turn.
Joey: 5000
Justin: 5200
Justin's turn-
"Justin drew his card and sighed, "I sacrifice my Curse of Dragon, and Meteor Dragon to bring out Yamata Dragon (2600/3100) and his attack rises to 3100 and I'll attack your Red-Eyes Black Dragon." The multi-headed dragon spirit and fired numerous breaths of fire burning Red-Eyes to a crisp and removing it from the field and drew 5 cards to what used to be his empty hand. "The other effect of Yamata Dragon is when I deal damage to your life points, I draw cards until I get a total of five in my hand and Yamata Dragon returns back to my hand and ending my turn.
Joey: 4800
Justin: 5200
Joey's turn-
Joey sighed from his loss, and drew his card, "I play another card facedown and flip my other face down card, Gamble." As a large card appeared face down on the field, Joey pulled out a coin from his pocket, "Now I'll call it in the air 'heads' or 'tails.'" With that, Joey flipped the coin and called "Tails" as the coin began to fall, Joey caught it and looked at it and it was... tails.
"Yes!" Joey proclaimed. "Now I get to draw five cards, and I'll play one more card face down."
Justin's turn-
Justin drew his card and said, "I'll play Spear Dragon (1900/0) and his stats rise to 2400 from the mountain.
"Hold it," Joey said flipping his face down card. "I activate Scapegoat, giving me four defenders."
"A lot of good they do, since Spear Dragon's ability allows him to surpass defense monsters so you lose 2400 life points." Justin said as his Spear Dragon sliced through a scapegoat and virtually stabbed Joey and switched to defense mode.
Joey: 2600
Justin: 5200
Joey's turn-
Joey drew his card and smirked. "I play Baby Dragon (1200/700) in attack mode and he gets the field power bonus becoming a 1700/1200 and I'll have him attack your Spear Dragon." Baby Dragon shot a fireball at the long- nosed dragon, killing it and giving Justin the spilled over damage. "And I'll play one card face down, ending my turn."
Joey: 2600
Justin: 4500
Justin's turn-
"I draw and I play Premature Burial and at the cost of 800 life points I revive my Meteor Dragon (1800/2000) and I'll also play Monster Reborn reviving your Red-Eyes Black Dragon to my side of the field and I'll play Polymerization fusing them together to form Black Meteor Dragon (3500/2000)! And even more importantly, his attack and defense shoot up to 4000/2500!"
Joey: 2600
Justin: 3700
Joey saw his dragon fuse with the other and shuddered in horror as his dragon was fused with that other dragon and now a monster of horrific power and he thought, 'How am I supposed to beat that?'
"Because fusion monsters can't attack the same turn they're summoned, and it is your turn, and soon to be your last," Justin said.
Joey's turn-
Joey looked at his entire hand and thought, 'Monster Reborn, Luster Dragon, and Physical Double, and three scapegoats with a Baby Dragon on the field. That's what I have to try and whip this dragon.'
"Joey!" shouted a familiar voice to Joey.
Joey turned around and saw Yugi and Michael.
"We finally found you," said Michael and he looked at the Black Meteor Dragon. "Oh man, Joey, do you know what you're facing?"
"Yeah and I have no clue how to beat it," Joey said.
"Trust in yourself Joey," Yugi said to him.
"Sorry blokes," said the English duelist. "But Justin has this duel all wrapped up, he only needs to fry one of his Scapegoats and he won the duel."
"And who are you?" Michael asked him.
"You'll find out who we are after your friend loses the duel here," said the Japanese duelist.
While Yugi and Michael argued with the other three duelists, Joey told himself, "trust in the cards," as he drew his card and saw it, United We Stand.
"Alright Serenity, I'll make you proud," he told himself as he began to play his cards. "I'll sacrifice Baby Dragon to bring out Emerald Dragon (2400/1400)!" As the little dragon faded from the field, an emerald green dragon with mighty wings appeared on the field and let out a roar. "It's stats boost to 2900/1900. But here's what's really going to hurt, I play United We Stand on Emerald Dragon."
"Oh no," Justin said, sweating buckets.
Every monster on the field began to glow gold and they sent their golden luminescence towards Emerald Dragon and its green scales turned gold from all the light and its attack power skyrocketed to 6100.
"Now Luster Dragon, attack Black Meteor Dragon! Golden Emerald Blaze!" the dragon unleashed a green blast of fire surrounded in gold and hit the Black Meteor Dragon destroying it completely.
Joey: 2400
Justin: 1600
"All right Joey!" cheered Yugi.
"You were saying?" asked Michael towards the other three duelists.
"I'll also end my turn playing one card face down." And a large card appeared behind the golden and once-emerald Dragon.
Justin's turn-
Justin felt himself in a heap of trouble standing against the green and gold dragon as he drew his card and it brought back his smirk. "I play Raigeki destroying all your monsters on the field!" Black clouds gathered on the field, and thunder roared as bolts of lightning came and struck down Emerald Dragon and the three Scapegoats, which brought Joey back into his state of panic.
"And what were YOU saying?" asked the English duelist.
Michael's face grew worried as well, since Joey was wide open for an attack.
"Now that you're unguarded, I play my second Sky Dragon (1900/1800) and he gets an attack boost to 2400/2300 and I'll have him attack you directly! Wiping you out!" The dragon did so and waved its four wings, but as it did, Joey flipped his face down card and a reflective, glassy version of Sky Dragon appeared and did the exact same thing and they both made blades from the force of wind and they passed by both of each other, they were both destroyed.
"What was that?!" shouted Justin.
"That was my trap card, Physical Double," Joey said. "It copies one monster on your side of the field and it makes an exact replica of the monster and because they had the same attack, they were both destroyed."
"Good move, Joey!" Yugi said.
Joey's turn-
Joey drew his card and his eyes opened wide, "This is it, Justin, I play my magic card, Monster Reborn, reviving Black Meteor Dragon (3500/2000)." and as it appeared on Joey's side of the field, Justin fell to his knees on the platform. "Since revived monsters can't attack the first turn they're summoned, it's your move.
Justin's turn-
Justin didn't have the will to play any cards, he said to himself "I was defeated by my own cards, he has my Black Meteor Dragon, and my Dragon's Rage backfired, I've been eliminated from the island..." suddenly he stood up and played another Curse of Dragon, whose attack was raised to 2500 but not enough to withstand the powerful Black Meteor Dragon's attack. "Go ahead, hit me with your best shot."
Joey's turn-
"All right then," Joey said and pointed to Curse of Dragon. "Go Black Meteor Dragon! Attack! Black Inferno Meteor!" The Mighty Dragon flew up high and fired a black ball of energy shot down and as it got closer, a heat shield formed and hit Curse of Dragon, and Justin with a black explosion.
Joey: 2400
Justin: 0
The platforms dropped to the ground and Justin gave Joey his only three star chips and said, "As promised, the loser would ante two rare cards instead of one."
"All right," Joey said. "I'll take your Meteor Dragon, and Spear Dragon."
"Okay," Justin said as he picked out the two cards from his deck, looked at them one last time and handed them to Joey.
As Justin Grey turned towards the docks and began to walk away he said, "Good luck guys, I know you'll succeed where I failed and Joey, you may have beaten me, but no one will ever beat the Blue-Eyes White Dragon Clan." He then walked away
"The what?" Joey asked.
"That would be us," said the Japanese duelist standing next to the Arabian duelist and English duelist.
"Seto Kaiba has his own fan club?" asked Michael.
"Puh-lease, we hate Seto Kaiba," said the Japanese duelist.
"We should've been the true owners of one Blue-Eyes White Dragon each," said the Egyptian duelist.
"Wha?" Yugi, Joey and Michael were all dumbfounded.
"You see," said the English duelist. "There were four Blue-Eyes White Dragon cards and they were sent to England, Japan, America, and Egypt."
"Well we didn't know each other then, but when we went to buy some booster packs in hopes of getting the deadly Blue-Eyes White Dragon, men representing Kaiba Corp had come in and bought all the booster packs in the store," added the Japanese duelist. "But it wasn't just those stores we were at, but all around the world Duel Monster cards were sold out."
"However," said the Egyptian duelist. "Even with Kaiba Corp's massive buying, their attempts were futile, since we each had managed to open a booster pack, holding a Blue-Eyes White Dragon."
"But somehow, Kaiba Corp had found us and would pay us a great amount of money for our cards," said the English duelist. "We refused knowing these cards were priceless to us. But it wasn't long before they took them by force, but we couldn't prove they were ours since we were keeping them secret."
"But when Kaiba Corp's goons faced me for the card," said the Japanese duelist. "I placed it in a small safe and tossed it into a dump truck. That was the only card Kaiba never got his hands on."
"Well someone did find it," Yugi said, "A man named Arthur Hawkins found it and he gave it to my Grandpa. A few years later, Seto Kaiba himself came to my Grandpa's game store, and offered him a briefcase full of rare cards. Grandpa refused, he was too attached to the card, he wouldn't even duel with it. Well sometime later, Kaiba's thugs grabbed my Grandpa and brought him to Kaiba Corp to duel him. My Grandpa lost the duel and Kaiba claimed his Blue-Eyes and when my friends and I got there, Kaiba..."
"Ripped the card in two," said the Japanese duelist.
"How did you know that?" Yugi asked.
"Everyone knows about your duel with Kaiba but very few know that Kaiba destroyed the fourth Blue-Eyes card," the Japanese duelist said. "Well that card was once mine, in a World Tournament, I was defeated in my first round but I met these guys and we all wanted revenge from Kaiba."
"However, we never had the chance to duel him because since he was the defending champion, he only had to duel the winner to defend his title," said the Egyptian duelist.
"But now, we have the chance to duel Kaiba, and when we duel him, we shall defeat him and take him of his Blue-Eyes White Dragons," said the English duelist.
"We mostly use dragon cards, dragon supporting cards, and sometimes other cards," said the Japanese duelist. "Justin may have lost already, but we won't let him down."
"I am Seth Akil," said the Egyptian duelist.
"Right, I'm Jonathan Winston," said the English duelist.
"And I'm Kyoji Hiraga," said the Japanese duelist. "We are three of the four members of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon Clan, and we will defeat Seto Kaiba."
Kyoji looked up at the sun and he knew what time it was, "Well I guess we should be going, we need to get some duels done and we can bet that Kaiba won't be an easy duelist, we'll see you at the finals."
The three duelists walked away, and then split up to get started on their individual duels and Yugi, Joey, and Michael stood there wondering what to do next.
"So even Kaiba's got some rivals besides Yugi," said Joey.
"But he's never dueled them yet," said Michael.
"Even worse for Kaiba," Joey said. "Justin wasn't a walk in the park. They might have even stronger dragons to serve up against Kaiba."
"Let's just wait and see how they do," Yugi said.
Then the three of them walked off to go find some people to duel and duels to watch in the afternoon on Duelist Kingdom...
Joey drew his card and said, "I play Pot of Greed, letting me draw two more cards." Joey drew two cards and gasped, 'Now way, I can't believe I drew these.'
"I play one card face down, and I'll sacrifice Dai Grepher and bring out Red-Eyes Black Dragon (2400/2000) and the field card Mountain gives him a total of 2900/2500 and I'll have him attack your Lord of Dragons."

The multi-headed dragon spirit and fired numerous breaths of fire burning Red-Eyes to a crisp and removing it from the field and drew 5 cards to what used to be his empty hand. "The other effect of Yamata Dragon is when I deal damage to your life points, I draw cards until I get a total of five in my hand and Yamata Dragon returns back to my hand and ending my turn.
