Disclaimer: No owning of the YuGiOh, never will. XP

Yeah, I understand how strange it is for Yugi and Pegasus to be fighting utter amateurs. Both Pegasus and Yugi WERE invited, and this is part of the tournament. It's only natural they would duel against amateurs sooner or later.

Pegasus wasn't one to turn down an invitation, and the mystery host has yet to be revealed, so… yeah.

Tournament of the Century

There's something wrong with the upload or something, because the lines that separate two parts of the chapter cannot be seen. When it switches to Yami's duel, imagine lines between them. Please.

Chapter 4: Conclusions of the Harpy

"So let me get this straight…" asked Mako, "Yugi got partnered with THE Maximillion Pegasus? The creator of Duel Monsters? The guy who hosted Duelist Kingdom?"

"The one and only. Too bad he's a real jerk, or I'd love to have him replace Joey…"

Joey frowned at Mai, who laughed quite loudly, moving over to the door and waiting. "Well? Aren't either of you going to be gentlemen and open this door for a lady?"

"You, a lady? You sure had me fooled…" muttered Joey quietly, walking over to the door and opening it, Mai shooting him a miffed glance before heading inside, followed by Mako, who looked in deep thought for a split second before returning to his usual self. Joey stepped in after them, eyes widening as he saw the opposing team.

"Weevil? Rex? Bakura? That is by far the strangest dueling team I have ever seen in my life." Said Mai, giving Bakura a light wave, which the silver-haired boy did not return.

"Eh, Bakura. What's wrong, buddy?" asked Joey, but the searing glare he received told him that this wasn't the Bakura they knew, but rather the spirit residing within his Millennium Necklace.

"Umm… Mai… I think Bakura's evil spirit thing took over his body again."

Joey prodded Mai in the side, and she nodded in return, her Duel Disk clicking together.

"It'll me and Joey…"

Weevil stepped forward, his own Duel Disk clicking together. "Versus me and Rex."

"Duel!"

Mai – 8000

Joey – 8000

Weevil – 8000

Rex – 8000

Bakura remained silent, leaning against the wall with a coy smirk on his face.

"Alright, I'll go first… and I'll play Harpie's Lady in attack mode!" said Mai, setting a card on her duel disk.

Mai's harpy shimmered into view, with flowing red hair and claws instead of hands or feet, and it gave a screech, brandishing its talons. (1300/1400)

"I'll set a card face down, too… end my turn!"

Joey reached to his deck and drew the top card, setting it into his hand.

"Hmm… I think I'll start off by playing Disgruntled Captain in attack mode!"

Joey slid a card into place, and a miffed looking man rose up on the field, clad in an entire suit of armor, his face visible for a few seconds before he lowered the visor of his helmet, raising his longsword into attack position. (1700/0)

"And then, I'll just set a couple of cards face down… and my turn's done."

"Finally, my turn!" shouted Rex, drawing a card, giving it a glance, and then setting it down without a moment's notice.

"I play Dragon of the North Wind in attack mode!"

A large, green cyclone appeared on Rex's side of the field, a shadowy figure seen within it. As the cyclone began to diminish, a bright green dragon opened up its wings and roared rather loudly. (1900/1450)

"Now, my dragon, attack the Harpie Lady with your Wind Blast!"

Mai grinned. "Bad move, Rex."

The Dragon of the North Wind reared back, and then released a large burst of wind directly at the Harpy Lady.

"I'll activate my trap card, then. Searing Wall of Fire!" said Mai, raising an arm and pointing to the raised card on her field.

A large wall of flame encircled the Harpy, and the blast connected directly with it, not doing any damage, but making the flames roar louder.

"Your attack is negated, and… you take half your monster's attack power in Life Point damage."

"What! Once I get that wall down, I'm going to crush your Harpy Lady into dust! End turn." Rex adopted his trademark frown, growling.

Mai – 8000

Joey – 8000

Weevil – 8000

Rex – 7050

Weevil drew his card and shook his head. "You must be patient, Rex. These two amateurs are trying to draw you in, and its working because you have a small fuse… just let me take care of everything. I play Twilight Hunter in attack mode!"

A large black insect with iridescent wings appeared on the field, looking much like a Praying Mantis with its claw-like arms. (1000/1000)

"I'll then add the field magic card Twilight Night…"

A large, starlit sky appeared above the duelists, and the lights went down automatically, so that only a bit of dim light and the stars above were the only sources of light.

"And now I'll end my turn."

Mai drew her next card, and set two cards down on the field.

"I'll summon Winged Sacrifice in attack mode, and then activate the ritual magic card Martyr's Light!"

A winged girl in white robes descended down upon the field, and before anything else could happen, a sword pierced directly through the girl's chest, silver blood dripping slowly down the blade, into a small pot.

"I'll have to sacrifice my Harpy Lady to finish the ritual…"

The Harpy Lady raised her arms and disappeared in a golden glow, which also went into the pot, which released a beam of light directly into the air. Mai took a card from her hand and placed it on the field.

"To summon Harpy Martyr!"

A white cloaked, blue haired harpy appeared on the field, a flail in one of its clawlike hands, a soft smile upon it's face, quite unbecoming of a harpy. (0/0)

"End turn, since my Searing Wall of Fire protects me from attack."

"My turn!"

Joey drew and looked over his cards for a second, then slid a card into his disc.

"I'll play the magic card Internal Dischord, which causes both of you," he pointed to Rex and Weevil, "to discard a card from your hand, then shuffle your hand back into your deck and draw a new one of the same amount."

Rex and Weevil looked at each other, then each of them slipped a card into the discard slot, then took our their decks and shuffled then hands in, swiftly drawing a new one.

"Then… I'll sacrifice my Disgruntled General to play Omnicube!"

The Disgruntled General disappeared, and a clear cube appeared, it's edges made of metal, the inside an eerie black, giving off a strange energy. (2000/1000)

"Now, three things happen. Disgruntled General's ability activates, and you two clowns have to discard a card from your hands. Then, I'll use Omnicube's special ability. When it's summoned, I get to search through my deck once per turn, and put any card I want on top of my deck. Third, he'll get to attack."

Rex and Weevil frowned, discarding another card while Joey rifled through his deck, sticking a card on top.

"Alright, now... Omnicube! Attack Twilight Hunter with Dimension Laser!"

The center of the cube lit up, and released a ray of energy towards the black insect. Right before it connected, the insect disappeared for a second, then reappeared behind the Omnicube, stabbing its scythe-arms into it.

"Hey, what's going on!" asked Joey.

Weevil laughed and pushed his glasses up with a finger.

"It's simple… Twilight Hunter gets to use his special ability because the field meld card, Twilight Night, is on the field. Any monster that attacks him is instantly destroyed, AND Twilight Hunter gains attack points equal to half the power of the destroyed monster!"

The insect pressed down further, and split the cube in half, the energy within dissipating and being absorbed by the Twilight Hunter, which hurried back to its original position, much bigger than before. (2000/1000)

"The only catch is, he's the only monster I can put on the field, or he'll be destroyed."

Joey growled, and then raised his arm. "I'll activate one of my two face-down cards on the field! Mass Summoning! This card can only be used on my second main phase, and forces us to draw the top five cards of our deck, and any monsters Level 7 or above are summoned to the field instantly, and the other cards are discarded! All for the mere cost of paying half my life points."

Joey – 4000

Mai – 8000

Weevil – 8000

Rex - 7050

Each duelist drew their cards, and silence ensued for a couple of seconds…

"Alright, that means I get to summon Archbishop Ferdinand in attack mode and Purification Jar in defense mode to the field!" said Mai, setting two cards down on her side.

The first monster appeared to be an aged man in robes, wielding a large ankh in one hand and a book of some sorts in the other. (2500/1000)

The second monster was an opal jar, decked with jewels, and a picture of a pair of women's hands on it, the top sealed tightly. (0/2000)

Joey snickered. "I get to play Supreme Knight and Father Time, both in attack mode!"

The Disgruntled Captain paled in comparison to the Supreme Knight that appeared. Nearly twice the size and wielding a mighty golden sword with a diamond shield in hand, he truly looked intimidating. (3000/3000)

An old man with weathered skin, wearing a white robe, appeared next to the Supreme Knight, clutching an oversized hourglass in which silver sand slowly ran through. (2000/2000)

"Now, before you go summonin' your creatures, Weevil, Rex, you should know about Father Time's ability. In 7 turns, he'll send each of you back in time, so you can see the Big Bang up close and personal. And what happens then? Game over, pals." Said Joey, smirking.

Rex laughed quite loudly and grinned. "You think I'm going to let your old man live that long? I summon Pestilence Dragon in attack mode!"

A huge, rotting, purple dragon appeared, noxious green fumes coming not only from its maw, but from the holes of missing flesh that littered its body. (2800/1000)

"Its special ability immediately takes effect! All of your monsters each lose 1000 attack and defense points while this card is in play!"

Weevil frowned a little, sending his Twilight Hunter to the discard pile, then raising two cards up. "I will summon Queen of Twilight and Venomous Spider in attack mode!"

An even larger black insect appeared on Weevil's field, this one with four scythe-like arms and a carapace that glimmered with the soft light from the stars. (2500/1500)

The second monster was a spider, a brownish-green in color, with eight hairy legs and a pair of large fangs, which secreted venom rapidly. (2300/1200)

Joey yawned a bit and smirked. "Is that all? End turn. Do your worst, Rex."

Rex drew a card and grinned. "Oh, I plan to, Wheeler. I'll activate the magic card Full Strike, which allows me to attack a monster, destroy it, and still be able to deal full attack point damage to your life points! Now, Pestilence Dragon, attack Father Time with Sickness Breath!"

The rotting dragon reared its head and shot a greenish cloud directly at Father Time, causing the old man to wither away.

Joey – 2100

Mai – 8000

Weevil – 8000

Rex – 7050

"But.. you didn't take the full 2900 damage from my attack?"

Joey smirked and pointed to his facedown card. "Nutrient Z! This little baby gives me 4000 life points when I take 2000 or more points of damage!"

Rex frowned and set a card facedown. "End turn, Wheeler."

Weevil drew a card up into his hand, and then slid two cards into his duel disk. "This is it, Joey. I'll crush you right here for humiliating me last time! I activate two magic cards! My first is Restrictive Webbing!"

Almost immediately, threads of web shot all over Joey's field, coating his Supreme Knight, who attempted to break free, but failed, still stuck within it.

"That card will stop your Knight's abilities when I attack! My second card is Blood Drain, which will transfer all of your life points, when you lose them, directly to me!"

Joey winced, eying Weevil's Queen of Twilight. He didn't have any cards that could stop it; he'd have to hope that Mai could help him out.

"Finish him, Queen of Twilight! Attack with Four-scythe Slash!"

The giant insect thundered over to the Supreme Knight, and raised all four of its scythes, preparing to strike…

Pegasus – 8000

Yami – 8000

Amar – 4000

Mila – 0

"Well, well, look at this… it seems as though your boast didn't hold. You're losing, and badly at that." said Pegasus, running a few fingers through his hair while Yami continued to stare in disbelief.

Amar growled and clenched a fist. "Just take your move!"

Yami drew a card and nodded. "I'm going to flip summon my Dark Avatar to activate its special ability!"

A black shadow squirmed its way out of Yami's card, taking the form of a Dark Magician. (0/0) "I'm allowed to choose one monster card in my hand with eight stars or more and copy its attack points to Dark Avatar's!"

The Dark Avatar smiled, getting a purple aura about it, its attack points changing. "Now, my Dark Avatar, attack the Pious Maiden with Dark Magic Attack!"

The shadow copy raised its staff and released a bolt of energy, which collided with the Pious Maiden, making her explode in a flash of light.

Pegasus – 8000

Yami – 8000

Amar – 3250

Mila – 0

"And I'll set one card face down. Your turn, Amar."

The youth drew a card from his deck, then looked over his hand and gave a nod.

"I'll activate the magic card Soul Absorption, which gives me 500 life points whenever a creature card is removed from play! Then I'll set two cards down and end my turn."

Pegasus smiled, his Millennium Eye giving off a small sparkle. "Right then, my turn!" He shouted, drawing a card.

"I'll play the magic card called Hand Flux! I draw as many cards as I need to have as many as you do, Amar."

Pegasus drew three cards, and smiled. "I'll activate the magic card Charged Card, which will destroy all your magic and trap cards while dealing you 500 life points for each one! I just need to discard two cards, which I will… but it activates the special ability of my Return Force!"

First, Amar's magic cards glew with a strange light, then exploded, making the duelist cringe as his life points fell once again. Then, a group of people appeared on the field, wearing leathery armor and wielding crude swords. (1000+1000/500)

"If Return Force is discarded via a card effect, it is automatically summoned to the field with a bonus one thousand attack points, giving them 2000!" said Pegasus, smiling broadly.

"Now, Return Force, defeat Amar!"

The group of people roared and charged Amar, slamming their swords into his duel disk.

Pegasus – 8000

Yami – 8000

Amar – 0

Mila – 0

"This duel is over." said Pegasus smugly.

Yeah, it took forever, I understand. I hit writer's block, though!

Yeah, something is wrong with the formatting. There's supposed to be lines inbetween Joey's and Yami's duel, but there isn't. :

Come back for the next Chapter!
