Here's chapter 2
The week passed faster then Team Yugi though. After all the practicing (some were private), tomorrow was the day of the Team World tournament, Kaiba informed everyone to get some sleep early because his limos would pick up the teammates at 6:00 am, and their flight leaves at 8:00am. Tomorrow came and the Kaiba brothers came to the houses of their teammates, first Mako's house by the bay, then Mai's apartment, Tea's house, Duke's game shop, Tristan's apartment, Yugi's game shop, and finally, Joey's apartment. When the limo appeared at Joey's place, they waited for about 20 minutes for him and Serenity; they had overslept by accident, but made it to the limo and the airport in time. Joey had asked Serenity not to tell anyone about him having Ra; he wanted to be a surprise. Some of the other guys including Yugi, Joey and Kaiba were wondering about Mokuba's dueling strategy, he always had his practice duels in private with the duel robots, he said that he wanted to be a surprise for everyone. A few minutes later, they are half-way to California, they had to change flights in LA. The team started to strike a conversation.
Kaiba: I still can't believe that we have to change flights to get to New York, if we used my jets, we would have been there by now.
Mokuba: yeah. But Seto, you had to have all your jet repaired today, so we couldn't use them.
Kaiba: I know Mokuba.
Yugi: still, this is a great experience for us. We get to enter a tournament that has constant tag team duels.
Joey: this is gonna be awesome. We're gonna be like: (he imitates fingers like guns, and making blasting noises, and he imitates a monster roar). And the other teams are gonna be like: (he imitates a scream, and then an explosion). Then we'll have pancakes to celebrate and I'll be like: (he takes a pretend fork, and pretends to eat, making loud eating noises).
Everyone just stairs at him.
Mai: uh… yeah whatever. (Whispering to others) we don't know him, right?
Joey: (angry) I heard that!
Everyone (including Kaiba) laughs at this, Joey then joins them, realizing how funny it was.
Duke: I wonder who else will be in this tournament.
Tristan: probably people we don't know.
Joey: well I know that the Kids Next Door are in this tournament (realized what he said) oops.
Yugi: Joey, how would you know that?
Joey: um…uh… oh! Did I say, "I know?" I meant, "I think I know" (sweats drops) hee-hee.
Mai: (sweats drops) okaaaaaay.
Mokuba: are we there yet?
Kaiba: stop asking that, Mokuba.
Soon they made it to LA, and the started to get the passes to get to New York when they heard music on their way, it was rap music.
Yugi: what is that? Is that music?
Mako: I think they call it rap here in the U.S.
They walk to where it is coning from, they see a few kids that looks like they're lip-syncing the music, and it was "Let's Get It Started." By: Black-Eye Peas. The kids were a group of seven boys, and two girls, the youngest girl had red hair, a pink tank top, jeans and sneakers. The other girl had blond hair, a black shirt with a white tank top, jeans and sneakers. The youngest boy had blond hair in an unusual hairdo, white jeans and sneakers, and braces that was attached to a ring that's around his head. The next boy was bald, his shirt was white, had jeans and sandals, and was carrying a piece of wood with a smiley face. The next one had a red backwards hat that covered his head; he had a green shirt, jean shorts and sneakers. The tallest boy had dark skin, his hair was black; his shirt was yellow with a red horizontal stripe, as well as jeans and sneakers. The three remanding boys looked liked the leaders of the group, the short ones had three hairs sticking out; his shirt was yellow with purple trims around the neck and short sleeves with a veridical red line, jeans with suspenders not holding and red sneakers. The middle one had a black ski cap on his head, and orange t-shirt, with purple jean shorts and blue sneakers. The final one had short brown hair, a mono-brow with no chin, a red and white striped shirt along with a green jacket, and jeans and sneakers. What all these kids had in common was that they all had a duel disk and it looked like it was made of junk, almost like the Kids Next Door, but not the same. The song ended a few tourist gave them some money in a small jar that says "give money."
Three hairs Kid: WOO-HOO! Their must be at least $20.00 in here. (To ski capped kid) Double D, how much more do we need?
Ski capped Kid: (takes out calculator) well Eddy, with the $20.00 from the performance, and our combined allowances, we just need… (Typing) 3,000.00 more.
Everyone moans.
Red hat kid: way to go dorks! I knew we should have had our parents pay for the tickets.
Tall kid: Rolf's father wouldn't allow Rolf to ride on the flying metal bird.
Red hat kid: Dude. You need to get out more.
Blond Girl: I guess we're not going to the Team World tournament.
Yugi: did you say "Team World?"
The kids look at Yugi and his team.
Blond Girl: yeah? Who are you?
Yugi: I'm Yugi Mutou. My team and I are in the tournament.
Mono-brow kid: (gasp) you're The Yugi Mutou? The greatest Duel Monsters duelist ever?
Yugi: um… yeah. That's me.
Mono-brow kid: (shakes Yugi's hand) I'm Ed; I'm the captain of team Ed. This is my team (points to each one) Eddy, Edd with two D's, so we call him Double D, My little sister Sara, Jimmy, Kevin, Nazz, Rolf, Jonny and plank.
All the kids: hi!
Yugi: um… Hi.
Edd: well, we've heard so much about you. (Walks to other) and we've heard much about some of you guys, let me guess, (Points to each) Seto Kaiba, Joey Wheeler, Mai Valentine, and Mako Tsunami. (Looks at others) hmm… You guys must be new duelist.
Tea: yeah. I'm Tea.
Tristan: the names Tristan.
Duke: Duke Devlin's my name.
Mokuba: I'm Seto's brother, Mokuba.
Serenity: and I'm Serenity, Joey's sister.
Yugi: and you guys say you're going to the tournament?
Edd: we may not; unfortunately we don't have enough money for the tickets.
Serenity: maybe Kaiba can help, he's rich.
Eddy: (Dollar signs appear in his eyes) HE IS? (To Kaiba) say Kaiba, did I ever tell you that you're my favorite duelist?
Kaiba: nice try, shortly. But I suppose I'll help you and your little playmates out. It wouldn't be much of a victory without the competition.
Edd: then we best hurry, our flight leaves in approximately: (looks at his watch) EIGHT MINUTES!
Joey: (looks at his watch) but I've got another two hours.
Yugi: Joey, you forgot to change your watch when we came here.
Edd: time zones here are different from Japan.
P/A: now departing flight 208 to JFK national airport in New York.
Everyone: (pauses) AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Soon everyone was running to the gate they had to get to. While running, Yugi and the others noticed that the Eds ran in a weird way. Ed was leaned backed while running, Edd ran with his fits in front of his chest, and Eddy ran like a football player but with both hands, and his (Green) tongue sticking out, some were disgusted at Eddy's tongue.
Edd: (typing on calculator he took out) oh dear. (To everyone) GET THE LED OUT PEOPLE! AT THIS RATE, WE'LL NEVER MAKE IT IN TIME!
Everyone runs faster. They keep running until they see their plane by a window.
Edd: OH…DARN IT!
Ed: Double D almost said a bad word. Ha-ha ha.
Yugi: (sweats drops) well, we could always catch the next one.
They rush to the information desk.
Yugi: excuse me. When is the next flight to New York?
Information clerk: (looks at computer) in about 10:00.
Eddy: (looks at his watch) that's cool, it just another two hours.
Information clerk: no, no. I mean 10:00 pm.
Joey: What! But we've got to get to New York before 10:00 pm.
Information clerk: I'm sorry; I don't make the rules here.
They all head to the rest area of the air port.
Edd: well this is a fine kettle of fish. Now what do we do?
Kaiba: uh! Of all the days for my jets to need repairing.
Jonny: (to plank) what's that plank? (Listens, no one else hears anything) Plank says that this is all Eddy's fault.
Eddy: Hey plank, ever visited a saw mill? (Punches hand with fist)
Edd: Eddy, calm down.
Joey: wait a minute, He talks to the piece of wood?
Eddy: yeah. He's a regular nut case.
Edd: not necessarily, you see, Jonny's need to communicate with inanimate objects comes from something similar to a social-phobia.
Mai: uh-huh, let me pretend I care. (Pause, has a serious face) okay, I'm done.
Yugi: (thinking) there's gotta be someway for us to get to New York for the tournament, but how?
Yugi then looks out the window; he sees something at the distant.
Joey: Yo Yuge. What 'cha lookin' at?
Yugi: I'm not sure; it looks like a big tree.
Joey looks too, he does see a tree.
Joey: wow! It must be big, maybe it's that theme park I've heard about that's also a zoo.
Yugi: I'll be right back.
Yugi then rush to the gift shop, a few seconds later, he exits with a small telescope.
Yugi: can you believe the prices on these gift shop things? $20.00, my ass!
He uses the telescope to see closer at the thing that looks like a tree, it was a tree. More of a tree house, it had a boat, and a large telescope in it.
Yugi: it is a tree. A tree house I think… a really big tree house. (Pauses) hold on.
Soon th others came to see what Yugi was looking at.
Eddy: what's Porcupine Head looking at?
Yugi: it's a big tree house and I'll thank you not to call me "Porcupine Head." The center of it has some sort of insignia. "KND." what's that?
Joey: KND… (Thinks for a moment, snaps fingers) Kids Next Door.
Yugi: it must be their headquarters.
Duke: a tree house?
Tristan: duh! They're kids.
Kaiba: wait a minute. The Kids Next Door have a few jets; maybe they could help us get to New York.
Duke: but didn't Yugi say that they don't trust teenagers.
Yugi: they thrust us.
Mako: what about Team Ed?
Yugi: I'm sure they'll let us bring them along.
Eddy: yes! We are back in the game baby!
Soon Team Yugi and Team Ed grabbed their belongings and road taxis to get to the tree house. About an hour passes and they make it to the tree house, Kaiba had to pay the taxi drivers, but it didn't faze him.
Eddy: wow. You must be rich to not worry about owing $5,000.00 to the drivers.
Kaiba: please, that small amount was nothing compared to the other thing I've paid for over the years.
Yugi: well, we're here, let's see if they are home.
Mai: wow. I wonder if it's a real tree.
Joey: It's probably made out of fiberglass.
Yugi rings the doorbell and waits, he then noticed a small camera disguised as a hanging potted plant above the door. He had a feeling that they were watching him, so he decided…
Yugi: hello, Numbuh 1? It's Yugi, from Japan, remember?
Then the door opens, it was a KND member, but it wasn't anyone he knew.It was a blond girl, she had a blue shirt with green shorts, and a helmed with the number 362 on it. It was Numbuh 362, leader of the global KND.
Numbuh 362: I'm sorry, but we don't allow teenagers in here so just-
Voice: (interrupting) Wait!
She looks at where the voice came from, it was Numbuh 4 and he was wearing his millennium scales. He rushes to the door.
Numbuh 4: its okay Numbuh 362, they aren't bad.
Yugi: hey there, Numbuh 4, long time no see.
They high five, Numbuh 362 was confused.
Numbuh 362: um… do you mind telling me (shouts) WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?
Numbuh 4: Numbuh 362, this is Yugi Mutou, the one we've been telling you about. The same one mentioned in the report. (To Yugi) Yugi, this is Numbuh 362, the leader of the global Kids Next Door.
Yugi: hi. Wait, "leader"? I thought Numbuh 1 was the leader.
Numbuh 362: he's the leader of this sector; I'm leader at the moon base. So that makes me head of all the Kids Next Door.
Yugi: okay then. Listen, we need a ride to New York, my friends and I are in this Tag-Team duel tournament.
Numbuh 4: the Team World Tournament?
Yugi: you know about it?
Numbuh 4: yeah, me, and the other operatives, including Numbuh 362 here,are in it. Didn't Joey tell you?
Joey started to sweat.
Yugi: well he said that the thought that- (realizes) Hey! Hold on. How would you know that Joey knew about it?
Numbuh 4: because I mailed him a letter along with the Wing-
Joey: (interrupting) –Beat of A Giant Dragon magic card. Yeah, that's it; he gave me a magic card.
Numbuh 4: no, not Wing Beat of A Giant Dragon, I mean the Winged-
He then noticed that Joey was making hand gestures that told him not to say "Winged Dragon of Ra."
Numbuh 4: oh, wait! It was Wing Beat of A Giant Dragon. (Pauses) well, come on in.
Yugi enters first, then the rest of Yugi's team, but when team Ed enters, Numbuh 4 and 362 became defensive.
Numbuh 362: whoa, whoa, whoa! Who are you guys?
Eddy: we're with Yugi, step off munchkins.
As Eddy enters, they then pull out their weapons
Numbuh 4: care to try that again short stuff?
Yugi: its okay Numbuh 4, they mean no harm. This is Team Ed; they are in the tournament too.
Numbuh 4: (thinks for a moment) alright. They can enter, but don't touch anything.
The Ed's enters; the two teams make their way to the tree house. When they make it they are all in awe at the interior.
Numbuh 4: welcome to sector "V" headquarters, guys.
Joey: awesome!
Mai: you can say that again.
Numbuh 1: (walks in) Numbuh 4, who was at the door? (Looks at the group) oh! Hello Yugi.
Yugi: hey, Numbuh 1.
Soon the rest of the team came and said hello, Numbuhs 2, 3, 5, and 86. Another girl came too. She had red hair in pigtails, glasses, and a yellow shirt with a blue skirt.
Girl: hey Nigel, are we ready to go?
Numbuh 1: um, in a moment Lizzie, we've got a few more passengers.
Yugi: Nigel? That's your name Numbuh 1?
Numbuh 1: um, yeah, it is.
Tea: and who's this? Is she a Kid Next Door? I didn't hear you call her a number.
Numbuh 5: she's not. That's Lizzie, Numbuh 1's girlfriend.
Joey: Girlfriend? (To Numbuh 1) aren't you a little young to have a girlfriend?
Before Numbuh 1 could say anything, Lizzie did.
Lizzie: oh he's not so young, (to Numbuh 1) are you "Nigee."
Mokuba: "Nigee"? (Laughs)
Numbuh 1: Lizzie! (Loud whisper) I thought I told you not to call me "Nigee" in mixed company.
Mokuba, Serenity, Sara, and Jimmy: (singing) Nigel and Lizzie Sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G.
Mako: is that really necessary?Making fun of Numbuh 1 for having a girlfriend?
Mokuba: (in a "duh" tone) um, we're 12, so, yes.
Meanwhile, Edd was looking around, seeing all the 2X4 technology weapons, so was Jonny.
Jonny: gee plank, I don't know if they are your relatives. (Sees Edd) What's wrong Double D, did you lose something?
Edd: no Jonny, it's just… I don't remember being here before, but something about this place…seems familiar. Perhaps I'm having one of those "Deji Vu" feelings.
At the other side of the room, Joey and Numbuh 4 were talking.
Numbuh 4: you didn't tell them you have Ra?
Joey: no, and don't tell anyone yet, I want it to be a surprise. I still don't get why you gave it to me, you sure I can control it?
Numbuh 4: hey. If the spirit of the millennium scales thinks you can, then so do I.
Kaiba: alright, let's get going already, the less time we spend here, the better.
Numbuh 1: he's right. Come on team, let's get a move on.
They prepared two ships. The first was a S.C.A.M.P.E.R. that had Numbuhs 86, and 362, along with Team Ed. The second was the School Bus Ship that had Numbuhs 1 through 5, Lizzie, along with Team Yugi. The two ships launched into the sky, and made their way to New York for the Team World Tournament.
