Well, it seems people like the fic. Thanks for the info, and I was asking
Rogue's name because I was curious, it's not needed. Anyway, I'll stick to
Solomon for Yugi's grandfather's name, thought almost everyone will call
him "Gramps" or "Grandpa". Oh, and I know Tabitha's changed sides at least
once, but how many times and who she was with after Destiny foresaw
Apocalypse, I have no idea, so give me a break if I got it wrong.

"Yugi, why don't you just take the Millennium Ring so Bakura can lose that dark side?" Joey asked.
"It's permanently part of him now Joey. Besides, his dark side might be desperate enough to gouge out his left eye and replace it with the Millennium Eye he keeps somewhere."
"Oh...."
Yami Yugi, Joey, and the others were still carrying an unconscious Bakura back home. They couldn't tell which Bakura was in control though, so they didn't want to risk it being Yami Bakura that wakes up. Y. Yugi was staying ready...
//////////////////////////////////////////
Kaiba tapped his pen on the desk, thinking about why a couple of his prototype duelist gauntlets were missing.
'Security reported no unauthorized people entering or leaving, so what happened?'
"Sir! Mokuba's gone!"
"WHAT!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!"
"He was seen at the airport."
"ERGH! GET MY JET READY NOW!!!!!!!"
///////////////////////////////////////
"MUTANT BALL!!!!!!!!!!!!"
This wasn't an unusual happening at the Institute. Whenever all the kids decided to play a little baseball, it almost always ended up with them using their powers. Tabitha smirked as she wound up for the pitch, and threw the ball with a little something extra. Beast knew this was coming, and ducked down as Bobby hit the ball, blowing him twenty feet back, turned the bat into ash, and left a crater where home plate was.
"Could we refrain from pyrotechnics please?" Beast asked.
Not everyone participated this time, and Scott, Jean, and Xavier were talking about......
"So you think that those two students from Japan could be like us?" Scott asked.
"I'm not sure. It's highly unusual for two people to share similar abilities and not be related, but still know each other."
"So it's magic?" Jean asked.
"I don't know about that either. We'll just have to wait and see."
////////////////////////////////////
"Well, Bakura's going to be all right I think, though he is going to show a bruise for awhile." Yugi told Tea.
"At least he's not destroying the city.....JOEY! TURN THAT DOWN!"
"I LIKE THIS MOVIE!"
Yugi and Tea sighed. Joey had found American movies he liked. The U.S. censors were more strict than back in Japan, but he still liked the films.
"Anyone want to watch "The Matrix" with me?" he asked for the seventh time.
"NO!" they all shouted.
"..Fine...."
"Doesn't Joey have a home here?" Tristan asked.
"All our parents are going job searching except for my grandpa. He found a job at a card shop." Yugi told them.
"Knowing my father, he's using what little U.S. money he has to get drunk." Joey complained.
"Guys, can you help me a second?" Mokuba asked.
"What is it?" Yugi replied.
"I borrowed a couple of my big brother's dueling glove things, and I don't know how to turn them on."
They then saw the duelist gauntlets Kaiba had been working on for a project of his.
"Oh crap! Kaiba's going to be ticked!" Joey yelped.
"..Hey! Mokuba, can I see those?" Yugi asked.
"Why?"
"I'll see if I can work them."
"Okay."
Mokuba gave Yugi the gloves, and left.
"Mokuba just gave me a way to explain away the monsters that showed up at the school." Yugi explained to the others.
"Ow! Why does my face hurt?" Bakura asked as he walked into the room.
They all looked at him and sweatdropped. Except for a few lines of his face, it was all one big bruise.
"Bakura, look in the mirror, take Tylenol, and keep your evil side from killing us afterward........." Tea told him.
//////////////////////////////////////////
"I'll kill them when I get there! How DARE they steal my prototypes and kidnap my brother!?!?! THEY'RE DEAD!"
"Sir, we're landing at Bayville Airport within the hour. It'd be sooner, but we're requesting permission to land."
"Very well then."
//////////////////////////////////
"MY FACE! IT LOOKS LIKE A PLUM!!!!!!"
"Calm down Bakura, it was the only way to stop your evil side." Yami Yugi told him.
".....ERGH! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY VESSEL'S FACE!?!?!?!?! IT'LL BE WEEKS BEFORE IT'S NORMAL AGAIN ON IT'S OWN!"
"Oh crap! His evil side's awake!"
Y. Bakura sighed, and conjured a Mystical Elf, which then proceeded to heal him.
"That's better."
Then he dispelled the elf, and looked in the mirror.
"That's better, I don't want to look like hell when I catch that brat from earlier."
Y. Yugi grabbed Y. Bakura's shoulder as he turned to leave.
"You caused panic at the school today."
"This concerns me WHY?"
".....Let me put this another way, unless you want publicity around your Millennium Ring and possibly thousands of people after it, you'll help me by using this duelist gauntlet to help explain away what happened earlier." Y. Yugi said as he handed Y. Bakura one of the gauntlets.
"What makes you think he'll listen?" Joey asked.
"....The fact that I'm not about to be pestered by the masses. GIMME THAT!" Y. Bakura said as he virtually ripped the glove out of Y. Yugi's hand.
///////////////////////////////////////////////
"Okay, exactly WHY are you making signs?" Y. Bakura and Joey asked.
"Just in case Kaiba gets mad about us having his prototype gauntlets." Y. Yugi explained.
Y. Bakura blinked.
"I don't get it." Joey said, cutting Yami Bakura off from saying the same thing.
"If we pretend to be with Kaiba's company, and displaying a future product, it might explain away the monsters at the school, and keep Kaiba from having us arrested at the same time." Yami Yugi explained to them.
"Don't bother. Because of his brat brother, he's probably on his way right now to accuse us of kidnapping him and stealing the gauntlets. Face it, we're in deep trouble no matter what we do." Y. Bakura said pessimistically.
"It's worth a try." Joey replied.
"Right."
Y. Yugi finished the sign. It read "Public Display of future Industrial Illusions products to be held at the skateboarding park on 7th and South River Road at 4 p.m. Friday."
"Yugi, that's tomorrow." Y. Bakura cut in.
"I know, but this makes it looks official."
"Why not noon?" Joey asked.
"WE HAVE SCHOOL THEN!" Y. Bakura and Y. Yugi shouted.
"Geez, I get it."
"Now let's hang up the signs all over!"
//////////////////////////////////////////////
"Man, I wish Evan was here. He loves skating." Kurt said.
"I know, but we haven't seen him since the Power Eight incident." Scott responded.
"Well, I...Huh?"
Scott and Kurt then saw the sign Joey had taped to a wall earlier.
"Industrial Illusions? Who are they?"
"I don't know Kurt."
Then they saw others look at the sign, and gasp.
"WOW! FIRST THE FAMOUS DUELISTS AT OUR SCHOOL, AND NOW THE COMPANY THAT MADE THE VR TECHNOLOGY FOR DUEL MONSTERS IS GOING TO VISIT 'OUR' TOWN!!!!!!!!!"
"I guess that explains the monsters earlier. I bet Kaiba had them test the new dueling stuff for bugs. I hear he's really strict about details."
"Do you think Kaiba's going to come!?!?!?!"
"Who knows? I heard from a reliable source he's planning to host his own Duel Monsters tournament soon."
"Really!?! WOW!"
Scott and Kurt had absolutely NO idea what just happened. Then they saw a brown haired, blue-eyed guy their age dress in blue pants, a blue coat, and a black shirt look at the sign.
".....I didn't schedule a public display of anything here....ERGH!!!!!!! THIS MUST BE A PLAN THOSE FOOLS HAVE!!!!!!!! I'M GOING TO KILL THEM!!!!!!!!!!! 4 tomorrow eh? Well then, maybe I'll rework my schedule to see the look on Yugi's face when I show up."
Then he walked off, and the two mutants were even more confused than before...
/////////////////////////////
The school day went by much like yesterday, except none of the students swarmed around the duelists. They'd save it for the skate park.....
//////////////////////////////////
"This is it guys. Our chance to undo the damage we did using our Millennium Items." Y. Yugi told the others, which didn't include Mokuba. He was busy checking the gauntlets.
"Yugi, I want to rest." Bakura told him.
"Then I'll duel ya Yug," Joey spoke up, " It's just a duel with the gauntlets to show off, right? We just duel a little to cover for yesterday, maybe score Kaiba some points with the American duelists, and hopefully keep Kaiba from wringing our necks."
In the crowd, some of the X-men were watching the stage.
"Maybe we'll see something to convince us to join in on the Duel Monsters craze." Bobby told Rogue.
"I doubt it." She said back to him.
"I'm telling you guys, that was a real monster that scared me. I could practically feel the sword on my neck!" Lance was telling the other members of the Brotherhood.
"You're just a fraidy-cat." Pietro told him.
Y. Yugi and Joey were about to go out when a certain person came backstage in their outfit they'd be known to wear at 'Battle City'..
"KAIBA!!!!!!!!"

I'd LOVE to see how this turns out.
