Yugi, Joey, and Mai walked down the long corridor in Salazar's castle and
it looked much different from the last time they were here. The lightly
colored interior was replaced by dark stone bricks lighted up by torches on
the supporting pillars and hung from the high ceiling there were
chandeliers also lit by fire. The three of them were walking on a soft red
carpet that stretched far down the corridor. So far, the castle looked very
medieval.
"Man," Joey said looking around at the finely built interior of the castle. "This guy must have money out the yin-yang to have rebuilt this place."
"I'll say," Mai said also impressed. "This is completely different from what I remember."
When they arrived to the end of the corridor, there was a large room with two more long corridors going to the left and right. To the front was a wall but in front of it stood a finely-made stone statue of a mighty dragon that was covered with thick armor and it looked like it was roaring with its mighty wings that spanned thirty feet. Above the statue was a balcony that expanded to ten feet. In the center of the room was a large beautiful fountain where several of the finalists were gathered around talking to one another.
"How'd in the hell did this guy buy Duel Monsters AND build all this?" Joey said looking at everything in the room.
"Well, well, look who's here," a familiar voice said to Yugi.
The three of them looked to the left where the voice came from and saw two familiar duelists.
"Rex Raptor," Joey said identifying one of the duelists.
"And Mako Tsunami," Yugi said to the other duelist.
"Hey Wheeler, hey Mai," Rex said.
"And Hello again, Yugi," Mako said to Yugi.
"So you both made it to the finals," Joey said.
The Dinosaur duelist and the Ocean duelist both nodded in agreement.
"It wasn't hard to get through to the finals," Rex said. "On account that there were a bunch of duelists so we had no trouble getting through."
"And I expected no less for three of the world's greatest duelists," Mako said.
"Aw gee," Joey said modestly putting one of his hands behind his head. "I wouldn't say world's best."
"Yeah thanks," Yugi said also modestly.
"Well you boys must've gotten better," Mai said. "Getting here couldn't have been easy."
"You could say that again," Mako said.
"I'll say," Rex answered.
"Who else is here?" Yugi asked.
"Pretty much every big shot from whatever country they're from," Rex said.
Mako pointed towards a duelist looking at the dragon statue, "That guy over there, Kurt Schneider is the number one duelist in Germany and was in the semifinals of the World Championship. I'm not sure what he uses."
"That's the guy I tricked into getting his suite," Mai said. "He fell for the same thing you did, Rex."
"Man, what a dummy," Rex said, laughing.
"I hope I don't have to duel him," Mai said. "He'll want to take me out hard and fast."
"And over there," Rex pointed to a girl sitting at the base of the fountain. "That's Colette Thibodeaux, France's best duelist. She uses a bunch of cutesy cards and takes her opponent by surprise acting innocent and junk."
"Wow..." Joey said looking at her like a zombie.
Mai broke Joey from his fantasy with a punch to his noggin.
"Ow!" Joey shouted grabbing his head.
"Wake up," Mai said. "She probably duels men and all they care about is staring at her."
"Mai," Yugi began. "Were you jealous?"
"Wha?" Mai said but before she could get cornered with questions she could answer she laughed and said. "Are you kidding? It's just that the way she acts is demeaning to all women. I'll show her in the dueling ring."
"Ooh, a cat fight," Joey said while making a cat noise.
"Shut up you," Mai said walking away from the four duelists.
"What's with her?" Joey asked.
"Ugh," Mako said hitting his forehead. "Joey you'll never understand women."
~Salazar's office, 5:17 PM~
Salazar was rubbing his temples still nursing his hangover. However when he grabbed hold of the Millennium Rod and his pain in the head was gone.
"Master Salazar?" his intercom spoke on his desk.
"Yes what is it, Croquet?" Salazar said in more relief.
"We got them, it didn't take long," the voice said on the intercom. "Shall I bring them in?"
"Of course," he said now feeling fully revitalized spinning around his chair then facing the doorway right in front of the desk. "Bring them in immediately."
A moment passed and several suits in dark glasses escorted in Salazar's three remaining eliminators Titan, Magi and Michael Laskow. The suits released them by bringing to their knees in front of Salazar.
"You guys may take your leave," Salazar said to the suits.
The suits did and closed the door behind them. Michael quickly got off his knees and ran to the door to open it, but the suits had already locked it.
"Get back on your knees," Salazar said as he pointed his Millennium Rod to Michael.
Suddenly, Michael was brought to the ground and something was controlling him to crawl back and got in between Magi and Titan again.
"You three are my eliminators and you were all defeated," Salazar said to them then directed himself to Michael. "One of you twice."
"You see Master," Magi began. "It was Titan's fault he ruined my whole dueling plan! He attacked me!"
"You bastard," Titan shot back. "You backstabbed me first. You got what you deserved."
"Shut up!" Salazar shouted. "You three have failed me, and I want to show you your replacements."
"Replacements?" the three eliminators said in unison.
"Yes," Salazar said pressing a red button on his desk and a wall rose up revealing darkness.
What walked out were three people. Two were hooded and covered up by robes and they also had golden eyes resting on their foreheads. The other person standing in front of them was a white haired young man. He had tattered clothes as if he had worn them for years and he was terribly skinny as if he hadn't eaten in a while.
"Hold on Salazar," Michael said standing up. "You're a businessman how about a proposition?"
"Hmm," Salazar said intrigued. "Go on."
"Well how about giving us one more chance?" Michael asked. "I'm aware you're still unsure how to make the match-ups. Well if you have six rather than three you have the possibility of beating Yugi and his friends."
"There won't need to be any 'possibility' to defeat Yugi," the white-haired young man said. "I've dueled him before and my deck has been improved with the newest and strongest cards, he'll never have a chance."
"Mr. Bakura, please," Salazar said, "I like the idea of six rather than three. Okay then. Magi, Titan and Mr. Laskow, you are safe for now."
Salazar then stood up and presented Magi, Titan and Michael a briefcase.
"These hold the newest cards created by Salazar Enterprises," Salazar said to them. "They won't be on the market for several months."
Titan and Magi opened the briefcase and looked in awe at the cards.
"But Mr. Laskow," Salazar said to Michael handing him a stack of cards. "As promised, here are the cards I promised to give you. I believe they will be of utmost use in your case."
Michael looked at the cards and began laughing and saying, "Yes these will do perfectly."
"So it seems I have six eliminators again," Salazar said looking among them but then was hit with an idea. "I know how the battle match-ups will go..."
~Salazar's Castle, corridor~
Seto Kaiba had remained in the corridor not wanting to be in the crowd.
"Seto Kaiba..." a person called to him.
"Who wants to know?" Kaiba answered looking where the voice came from.
"We've been waiting for this moment to duel you," another voice said.
"Have you?" Kaiba asked back.
"And now it's time for comeuppance," a third voice said.
"Show yourselves already!" Kaiba said.
The three people stepped forward from the darkness, all wearing white and blue clothing.
"And who are you three supposed to be?" Kaiba asked them.
"We are the Blue-Eyes White Dragon Clan," they said.
"I didn't know I had a fan club," Kaiba said letting out a laugh.
"Please," the English duelist said. "We originally had the Blue-Eyes White Dragons and it was your thugs that took them from us."
"Is that a fact." Kaiba said, "You three losers think you can beat me and win back what you claim to be your cards?"
"That's why we're here," the Egyptian duelist said.
"And we won't lose," the Japanese duelist said. "Those cards were once ours and they will be again."
"If you're so sure of yourselves," Kaiba said. "Let's duel right here."
"Fine by me," the three of them said.
As soon as the four duelists activated their Duel Disks, an announcement could be heard.
"Attention all finalists please gather to the main hall immediately," a voice said throughout the castle.
"Damn," the Japanese duelist said. "I guess we'll have to duel in the tourney."
"Lucky for you," Kaiba said to him turning off his Duel Disk going towards the center.
"I was going to tell you the same thing," the Japanese duelist told him and he and his two associate turned off their Duel Disks following Kaiba.
As the thirty finalists gathered, they all looked up at the balcony waiting for Salazar's arrival.
Salazar arrived in a business suit looking down at the finalists from the balcony.
"Ah, hello my finalists of Duelist Kingdom," Salazar began. "I'm sure you're excited to have made it this far. But now the thirty of you will drop to less than half. The first round in the finals shall be a four-way free-for-all duel. Four duelists shall duel and the last two standing get to move on to the second round. Your names shall be called off at random proceed down the corridor to your left for the dueling arenas. Good luck to all of you."
Salazar turned around and left the balcony and as he left for his quarters, he thought to himself, 'However, twelve of you won't even get the chance to duel...'
The 30 finalists walked to the left corridor all of them were walking, not in a hurry whatsoever.
When the finalists arrived to the end of the corridor, another large metal door stood in there way. But the door was automatically opened to more of a long corridor, or so it seemed.
At first three duelists walked through the large doorway, then six, then twelve. When the eighteenth finalist passed through the doorway, the large metal doors suddenly shut on the other twelve duelists.
The duelists that were left behind banged on the metal doors to try and open but it was useless. Suddenly as if they were all hit on the head, they collapsed to the ground unconscious.
The eighteen duelists that made it through didn't notice and kept walking. They kept on walking straight and their path came along some stone stairs that curved downward. That didn't stop them and they continued down the stairs.
Joey looked behind him and saw that there were only six finalists.
"Uh, Yugi?" Joey asked quietly.
"Joey?" Yugi asked. "Why are you talking quietly?"
"Look behind you," he answered.
Yugi looked behind him and saw six finalists. But they looked different from the other duelists back at the entrance. They were all dressed casually except for three of them who were covered up by black robes. Three of them were dressed casually.
One of them was big, standing about 6'7" with a build to match. He wore black jeans, combat boots, a white undershirt and a black unbuttoned short- sleeved shirt. His head was shaved and had tan skin.
The other duelist was shorter to the taller duelist, standing about 5'11" and had a skinnier build. He wore loose blue jeans held up by a belt, blue sneakers, and a black loose long-sleeved shirt. His blue-green hair was long in the front and was spiked to keep out of his hair and had pale skin.
The third duelist was unmistakably familiar to Yugi. He stood at 5'9" and had a skinny build as well. He wore blue trousers, black t-shirt shirt, and a light green short-sleeved jacket that looked old and worn for a while. He had pale skin and long white hair.
"Bakura?" Yugi said to Joey. "Is that really him?"
"I dunno," Joey said. "He looks a lot like him."
"But the problem is Bakura's gone," Yugi sighed remembering on the Battle City blimp when Marik defeated Bakura and all that was left was his Millennium Ring.
The rest of the walk for Yugi and Joey was silent. When the staircase ended, they stood in front a room with seven different doors of metal all around. Each door depicted Roman-Numerals and several suits in dark glasses awaited them.
"Welcome finalists," a gray-haired suit announced. "I am Croquet, Tournament Official of Duelist Kingdom. This is where you the finalists shall duel. Behind each door is a dueling arena where four randomly- selected finalists shall duel. The rules apply as normal, when a duelist's life points drop to zero, they lose and are out of the tournament. The last two remaining duelists will proceed to the next round. More will be revealed in due time."
"Now let the match-ups begin," another suit said with a clipboard of who would duel who.
"The duelists that will duel in Door I," the suit began. "Rex Ryukazi..."
Rex Raptor smirked and seemed pleased to be the first picked in the finals. After he heard his name he walked towards the door marked with the Roman numeral, I.
"Ryan Stone..."
Ryan was away from the crowd of duelists sitting in a corner. When he heard his name, he stood up stretching his arms and legs then walked towards the first door as well.
"Mako Ryouta..."
Mako looked happy to be in the same dueling room as Rex's and he walked towards the door high-fiving Rex.
"...and Joseph Wheeler."
"Heh, all right," Joey said punching one of palms in readiness. "I'm ready to kick some butt."
"Be careful Joey," Yugi said. "Your taking on three expert duelists and I think Rex and Mako are going to be working together on this."
"Well in that case, Ryan and I will give them the duel of their life," Joey said. "Wish me luck, Yuge."
"Good luck," Yugi said to him.
Joey then walked over to the door with the other duelists. Mako opened the door for them and as they all walked in, the door closed and locked automatically.
The dueling room looked weird. It was all white all around and the room was in a perfect cube.
"Well let's get started," Rex said turning on his Duel Disk and walked to a far corner of the room.
"Yes let's," Mako said turning on his Duel Disk and walked to the other far side of the room to the left of Rex.
"Ready to duel them?" Joey asked Ryan going to the corner across from Rex.
"I am but are you?" Ryan said turning on his Duel Disk and going to the remaining corner across from Mako.
"Uh yeah," Joey said confused from Ryan's remark.
'I guess I'm on my own then,' Joey though turning on his Duel Disk.
"Let's duel!" The four duelists said and their life points went to 8000...
NOTE: There may be some confusion in Rex and Mako's names. I had them have their Japanese last names (and their first names are the English version, but I bet you knew that already) because I doubt Rex's last name is Raptor and Mako's is Tsunami. They're more than likely their dueling names.
"Man," Joey said looking around at the finely built interior of the castle. "This guy must have money out the yin-yang to have rebuilt this place."
"I'll say," Mai said also impressed. "This is completely different from what I remember."
