Many top duelists, from all over Japan, mingle together. They talk about their favorite card game, Duel Monsters. Some of them practice battling each other, while others trade cards. They are all waiting for the boat they are on to reach its destination. They are heading to the creator of Duel Monster's island. Maximillion J. Pegasus is holding a tournament to find the top duelist in the world. He has looked all over the world for the top elite duelist that are eligible to step foot on his land.
Over on the far left corner of the boat five young people can be seen talking amongst themselves. These five people are known as the Yugi-Gang. Only two of them have permission to ride on the boat. The others are stowaways. The two duelists have their own reasons for entering this competition. The duelist known by the name of Joseph "Joey" Wheeler is there to help save his sister's eyes. He wishes to do this with the aid of the prize money. Yugi Mutou, the other duelist in the group, is there to save his grandpa. If he wins and defeats Pegasus he will get back his grandfather's soul that Mr. Maxillion has taken.
Other Duelists aboard the ship are entering the tournament for different reasons. Some of them are entering just for them fun and thrill of it. While others such as Mai Valentine are in it for the riches so they can buy luxurious things.
Back with the Yugi-Tachi you could her Joey conversing with fellow duelists. He has gotten involved with trading. His friends just watch and shake their heads.
"Hey Yug', Look wha I got." Joey said holding up random cards.
"Joey? Stop trading cards," His little friend Yugi stated them mumbled, "he's going to end up with all monster cards … again."
The former street punk goes back to trading cards not hearing his friend's mumbled commit. His Friend Tristan Taylor heard it though.
"Yo Man, you're gunna lose if you keep that up." Tristan announced.
Joey turned around and faced his friends, "I'm not gunna lose." He then looks down sadly as a tear drops from his eye. "I can't lose… not for Serenity's eyes."
A few hours past, the commotion on the boat begins to dull. It is nearing dinnertime and eager and hungry duelists all run to the dinning area. Two people, Tristan and Joey, can be seen one second and not the next. They speed faster than light itself to the dinning area. Who knew two people were so thrilled to eat. As these to friends are shoving their mouths with food a mysterious figure can be seen walking the boat. This figure was dressed in a long black trench coat. He or she seemed to very well with in the shadows.
From afar on the opposite end of the boat and short duelist could bee seen over looking the water. This duelist had black, blonde, and maroon hair and the eyes of a child. He was no child though. This duelist, Yugi Mutou, was sixteen years of age. He looked out over the water with sad eyes. He was thinking about his grandfather. The grandfather he knew. The one that Maximillion Pegasus stole's soul. Poor young Yugi was tricked into playing against Mr. Pegasus. Now he sent out on a journey to get back his sole.
As Yugi looks over at the water a figure slowly approaches him. This figure watches him from the shadows. He hopes that he will not be discovered. For if he was his duty would be put into jeopardy. He has been sent to get ride of the young duelist. This mysterious person slowly continues to creep towards his prey. Unknown to him another person is out on the boat. This shadowy figure pulls back the left side of his trench coat. A shiny silver object can be seen glimmering in the light of the lovely moon. What is this man planning?
The mysterious persona stops right behind little Yugi, our young duelist.
He breaths down his neck and whisper in his ear. "Hello… Pharaoh…"
Just as this man was about to strike down his victim someone come up behind him. This new person in the picture knocks a knife out of the man's hands. A tussle begins to ensure between the mysterious murder and the new person.
The man cloaked in black turns around to see whom his new enemy is. The young man behind him just stands and glares at him. The hit man walks towards his newfound enemy. The closer he get the more he sees of this new person. The younger male looks to be about twenty years of age with purple hair.
"How dare you pick on someone smaller than you!" Junichi shouts at the mystifying man.
The man walks a little more closely and pauses about a few feet away.
"You wouldn't know anything."
"You're a coward! Pulling a knife on a kid from behind, your pathetic," Junichi counter backs.
This statement gets the man fired up. He must take out this new enemy before he can complete his mission. He will do it by any means necessary.
"You. Are. Going. Down."
With that he pulls out another knife and lunges at Junichi. Junichi easily steps to the side just barely missing the knife.
"Ha! You even fight like a girl, I could beat you with my hands in my pockets, and "the purple haired young man laughs
The other man yells, "Lets see you try."
With that being said a dangerous and potentially deadly fight endures.
Off to the side a stunned little Yugi watches as his savior fights willing to risk his life. This scene looks so familiar to him. Like it had happened once before. It then hits him. This is just like when Joey saved him from that bully. Yugi continued to stand there in shock as the fight progressed. It looked like that this puzzling man had the upper hand. It seemed as though that this Junichi was winning though. Even though he had a disadvantage he was in the lead.
As the fight endured the two fighters seemed to not grow tired. It was surprising that no one heard the fight. No one seemed to run out on the boat and see what the ruckus was about. With jab after jab Junichi dogged out of the way from the knife's glistening sharp blade. The two fighters seemed to unknowingly get closer to poor Yugi. Junichi picked this up quick. To avoid letting the little duelist get hit he jumped in the way. As a result he earned a punch to the stomach. This purpled haired man began to lead his poseur away from the other duelist. As he did he saw an opening and thought. I ca just doge one of his attacks and have him go over board. This plan seemed like it would work. It looked a little too easy though. But Junichi was going to put it into action. He had no other choice. He had to save this young teen.
With his mind set on this new formulated plan he lead the mysterious man closer and closer to the edge of the boat. Along the way he kept dogging punch after pouch and jab after jab. All the while he kept his hands in his pockets. There was no way he was going to let this man get to him. He did fight like a pathetic girl, but only had the aid of a sharp object. Seeing an opening Junichi went for his plan. Unfortunately for him as the man went over board he could not escape his last attack. The edge of the knife grazed across his upper arm cutting him.
A splash could be heard as someone went overboard. This though caught the attention of the others on the boat. What perfect timing. A bunch of people could be seen running out of the dinning area. One male in particular ran up to Yugi.
"Hey, Yug' are you alright?" a blonde duelist with honey brown eyes questioned as he knelt before his friend hands on his shoulders.
Yugi just stood there in shock. Who would want to take his life? He didn't have anything of value. Did he?
Junichi walks over to the short male. He looks over to the blonde. Yugi snaps out of it and looks to his savior. Little Yugi looks up to the taller male eyes sparkling.
"Thank you so much. You saved my life. How can I ever repay you?"
Junichi just shakes his head. He doesn't need any repayment. He was just helping someone in need that needed it. Yugi thinks for a moment then pulls out his dueling deck.
"Hey Yug' Wha you do'n?" Joey asked.
The multi pointy haired teen pulls out a card from his deck. He holds it out to the man that saved his life.
Yugi says smiling, "Here take this."
The purple haired taller male shakes his head and holds out his hand.
"I couldn't take that from you." Yugi insists though and looks up to the man with pouting eyes. "Please take it. I have no use for it. It's the lest I can do."
Junichi seems to not being able to resist Yugi's puppy eyes of doom. He accepts his offer and takes the card. With that the shorter of the two smiles and is taken away inside by his friends.
Junichi walks over to the edged of the boat. He looks at his newly acquired card closely.
"Blue Eyes Red Dragon. Huh?"
He looks at it very curiously. He has never heard of such a card before. Where could it have come form? It must be very rare. He beings to read his new card. The card states:
Blue eyes Red Dragon
9Starts
Effect/Dragon This card can on be summoned by sacrificing 3 monsters with a total number of 9 stars. This card increases atk and def by 1000 for every bewd and redb in either duelist's graveyards. Also increases atk by 200 for every dragon in your graveyard. Cannot be special summoned from graveyard
Atk3500/Def3000The purple haired man blinks. "What a very interesting card." He thinks out loud, "and powerful."
Unknown to him a young female watches him from the shadows. She had been watching him ever since he had gotten into that fight. Then with Yugi handing him a card it spiked her curiosity. What card could the pharaoh just give up? And what card could he have no use for? It didn't make any sense to her. She stood the in bewilderment as she looked at the figure over looking the ocean.
The more she watched him something seemed to spark within her. This young female walked slowly closer to him. She continued to walk until she was standing next to him.
"Do you mind if I join you?" she asks softly smiling at him.
Junichi jumps slightly haven't noticed her sneak up on him. "No I don't mind."
She looks out at the ocean, "thanks you seemed awfully lonely just standing here."
The male shrugs and continues looking at his new card and the ocean. The young red hair teen leans forward on the railing.
"You know you should really get that check out or at least bandaged."
Junichi turns and looks at her puzzled. What could she be talking about? Bandage what?
The red head laughs lightly, "your arm. You got cut in that fight when that man went over board."
The male looks down at his arm. "It'll be fine."
She shakes her head, "here let my wrap it for you."
She gently takes his arm in her hand and rips a piece off of her buka. The purple haired young man blushes lightly from the contact. The female gently wraps the cloth around his arm.
She smiles, "there that should help."
Junichi thanks her for her help.
He turns around and leans back on the railing.
"So what brings you out here?"
The female shrugs and continues looking out at the ocean. "Oh please forgive me I haven't introduced myself," she turns around. "My name is Chione. Chione Khala."
She smiles warmly at Junichi holding out her hand. Junichi takes her hand and shakes it lightly. Both of them feel a spark from the contact. Chione tries to hide a blush.
"It's a pleasure to meet you miss. Chione. I'm Junichi Hawkins."
Chione shakes her head. " Just Chione please no need for formalities."
She looks down. As she does she catches glimpse at the card in his hand. She freezes and stares in utter shock. How did he get that card? Junichi looks at her puzzled.
"Are you alright?" he asks.
Chione keeps staring at the card in his had. She doesn't understand it. She didn't give that to him. She didn't even give it to the pharaoh. How did he get it? Junichi then notices that she is staring at the card he is holding. He lifts up the card and looks at it again.
"Have you seen this card before?" He holds out the card for her.
Chione turns around and looks back at the ocean seeing the moon shining in the water. "It's a very powerful card. Take care of it."
She leans over the railing a little and thinks. If you don't I will kill you. You have my life in your hands.
Junichi looks at the card again. "I'll take care of it. Don't see how I can use it though."
The red haired blue eyes girl smiles. "You'll find a use for it," she takes his hands in hers, "trust me. You will."
On the other side of the boat more commotion can he heard. A little guy with bug glasses can bee seen throwing cards in to the ocean.
"My Grandpa's cards!" The young duelist Yugi cries as he watches his grandpa's exodia cards fall into their oceanic grave.
"I'll get them for you Yug'" a loud mouth blonde shots.
The said blonde dives into the ocean to retrieve the cards. As he comes back up he only had two cards in his hand. 3 other cards are missing. Someone throws a life raft overboard and helps Joey up. Two figures come running over to the other side.
Chione looks over at the Pharaoh's host. "What happened here?"
A brown haired uni-spiked teen points at the buy boy. "He threw Yugi's cards overboard," He shouts.
Chione looks over to the bug boy. Just then another duelist walks into the scene. He walks over to weevil and starts laughing.
"Nice move Weevil," he says.
Weevil grins and laughs as well. "Thanks Rex. I will not let a little shrimp like him beat me with those cards."
"Yea I'd call that cheating," Rex counter backs.
Just then the two bully duelists notice the red haired teen. They both look at each other and grin.
Chione walks on by both of them over to Yugi.
"You two are pathetic. You have no idea what the value of those cards could be." She says to them giving them a dirty look.
As she continues walking away from them Weevil opens his mouth and whispers to Rex. "She's got one fine caboose."
Rex whistles and agrees with his buddy. "I agree and not to mention a nice rack too."
Chione Khala stops dead in her tracks and blushes lightly. "Oh I have a nice caboose and rack huh?"
She turns around and smirks at them. This is going to be fun. Lets teach them a lesson. Chione walks over to them swaying her hips. She bends down to their level. "You really think that?" she asks twirling her hair around a finger.
Both Rex and Weevil stand there in shock. They turn and looks t each other again. They both nod their head.
"Yes you do. So how about you and me" Rex points to him self. "Get to know each other a little better." Rex then winks at her.
Chione gasps and put a hand over her mouth. "You... want to get to know me." She places a hand over her heart. "How sweet."
Weevil then pushes Rex out of the way. Then takes her hand in his. "He doesn't want you. I am much better than he is." Weevil then kisses her hand gently.
Chione blushes. "I don't know who to choose... you're both so sweet."
Rex then shoves his best friend out of the way. "How and me and you babe go to my room and play a little game."
Chione mentally grins. "That sounds like it could be fun." She winks at Rex. "I have a better idea though." Chione bits her nail. "How about all three of us go back to your room." She points to Rex.
The two-duelist look at each other. This could be the night of their lives. They nod. "Sounds like plan to me," Weevil says.
Chione kisses them each on the cheek. "Oh I'm so over joyed. We can play a friendly game. If you win ill do what you wish."
Not like I'm going to loose though. Chione thinks.
Weevil and Rex blushes and touch their cheeks. "Please follow me." Rex says as him and Weevil takes her hands and leads her to Rex's room.
When they arrive at the room Chione pauses "oh I'm so sorry I almost forgot." Weevil looks up to her.
"My name is Chione Khala. Please, remember it," She says smiling.
Rex and Weevil both say. "Well remember."
"It's a pretty name." Weevil says.
"You're offer seemed nice and all but I have to decline."
Both Rex's and Weevil's jaws drop. "What?"
Chione grins and removes her hands from theirs. "You two need to learn some manner. Not to mention how to treat a lady."
She turns and begins to walk away. "Oh and this is for you."
She slaps them both on the cheeks and continues on her way. "Pervs. Why do I always get stuck with them?"
As the young female teen walks back to the sleeping quarters something catches her eyes. On the edge of the boat is an object. Very close to going over board is a card. She walks closer to the card. Upon inspection she notices what card it is. It is the head of Exodia. She picks the cards up.
"Hello dear friend. I'm sorry that had to happen to you."
Chione Khala places the card with her others. She then continues on her journey.
As this young female walks back to the sleeping quarters she doesn't watch were she is going. She suddenly bumps into someone. Knocking both of them on the ground. She ends up on top of her unknowing victim. Chione blushes and just stares at the young man below her. The said male has a light blush on his face.
"It's a pleasure bumping into you again."
Chione slowly gets up and holds out her hand. "I am so sorry about that, Junichi."
Junichi takes her hand as she helps him up. He stands and dust him self off still blushing.
"Its alright. No harm was done."
Chione smiles, "I'm glad you're alright. I really didn't mean to bump into you literally."
Junichi shakes his head. "It's fine. So what happened with those guys?" He asked a little curiously.
"Oh... I left them back at their room with a nice red mark." Chione laughs.
They both continue on together to the sleeping room. Junichi turns and gives her a funny looks.
"Lets just say the pervs got what the deserved. A nice slap to the face."
The young man laughs. "I thought you really meant what you said to them."
Chione shakes her head. "No way, I would never go for someone like those two."
Junichi Hawkins nods and continues on his way. They both reach the sleeping quarters and see that almost everyone is asleep.
The early morning sun begins to shine. The Boat that left from Domino City, Japan has just reached its destination. The duelists aboard begin to stretch and awaken. They are all fired up for the battles they will face. The Tournament has just begun and the fight for humanity just starting.
