Chapter 24: A New Challenge
The sun shone on a bright Saturday morning. The gang was hanging around the game shop, just watching cartoons and discussing Duel Monsters. A letter slipped through the mail slot, so Yugi went to find out what it was. It had a reference to Duel Monsters, so the gang though it might be a challenge, or a tournament invitation. And sure, enough it was one, but it was a holographic projector. A familiar voice and face appeared on the screen, Kaiba's.
"Greetings, duelist. You have been invited to partake in KaibaCorp's third duel monsters tournament to date: The Tri-KC World Grand Prix. The tournament will take place at the city of Domino, and the finals will be at KaibaCorp Tower, about 1 mile from Domino city limits. Few duelists have been invited to take place in this tournament, so it's sure to be one of Duel Monster's best tournaments ever thrown. For explanations on the rules and regulations of my tournament, report to City Hall at 7:15 tomorrow. That is all." The program said, and shut off.
"Kaiba's back in business....oh boy." Remarked Joey.
"I wonder why Kaiba decided to through a tournament. It's barely been a week since we escaped from the virtual world, again, so maybe Kaiba wants to...have fun? I don't know..." replied Yugi, who was extremely curious to enter. "But I wonder what enemy will be in this tournament. I mean, its not like this tournament will be "left alone," but maybe I can discover some answers tomorrow at Kaiba's little "meeting."
"Yugi...I don't think we should even be bothered with Kaiba's little tournament" suggested Tea.
"I wish it could be that easy, but Kaiba is my destined rival, and what if the world is at danger again?" replied Yugi.
"Plus, we wouldn't want Kaiba gloating "Yugi was too afraid to enter" or "I'm the top duelist in the entire world!! Do we?" asked Tristan.
"Well I guess not, so we'll just have to see. So, tomorrow at City Hall...I wonder who else will be entered" said Yugi, more of thinking out loud.
CITY HALL, TOMORROW NIGHT
The gang was the last to arrive at City Hall. Duelists were hanging around on the steps, in the main hallway and all along the street. Yugi saw some familiar faces including Mai, Kevin, and even Bakura had shone up. However, Yugi also noticed some of his tournament rivals: there was Insector Haga, insect champion, and Dinosaur Ryasuki, dinosaur champion. Among the crowd were some stunned duelists and others seemed elated. However, at 7:15 all the lights were dimmed as several KaibaCorp. blimps were seen floating on the skies. On them were extravagant designs, and the TV screen showed the face of none other than Kaiba himself.
"Duelists!" he declared, putting an end to the seemingly incessant chattering. He cleared his throat and continued on. "Duelists, you have been gathered here today to enter one of the mightiest Duel Monsters tournaments ever thrown. However, before the dueling actually begins...there are a few....details I need to go over with you.
First, there are only 75 duelists invited to participate. However, none of them, with one exception, should be easy to defeat. These duelists have gathered from around the world to win the title of the world's greatest duelist!" he began while everyone cheered at the ending part.
"On the contrary..." he commenced while everyone became silent. "There are some rules and of course, what tournament would be complete without prizes? Now then, in this tournament there are no star chips or locator cards. Nothing that can keep up with your ranking to others. But, once you win a total of 6 duels, you are automatically qualified to enter the finals. There will be 8 spots in the finals, so that means you had better duel well, and quickly.
"Next, there is the one downside of participating in this tournament. It's an all or nothing wager, on every single duel you participate in. In other words, lose one duel and you're out of this tournament for good! I have no time for worthless losers. So, you can win 5 duels, but should you lose your sixth, you lose it all!" he continued while some people shouted and nervously talked amongst themselves.
"But, if one of you, surprisingly, wins this tournament you'll receive $50 million and a collection of extremely rare cards, including some you've never seen before!"
So make sure you prepare well duelists, because in just 3 short days, my Tri KC World Grand Prix Tournament will begin!" he announced raising his hand up, as all the duelists in the crowd cheered.

A/N: Yeah, that was pretty short, but I just needed a small introduction for what's about to come! RR ya'll.
