I am REALLY sorry for the long time between real updates. I've been busy,
but I finally have time to update again.
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
"Well, well, well........I never thought I'd see my rival turn to kidnaping and corporate sabotage." Kaiba mused.
"Kaiba, let me explain......."
"Forget it Yugi Mutou, I don't want to hear your lies."
"Big Brother! They didn't kidnap me, I left because this is TOO much. Why did you send our friends away!?!" Mokuba shouted.
This took Kaiba by surprise. Mokuba was usually TOO loyal to his big brother. This was a switch, but he wasn't going to let Yugi off the hook.......well, not make it obvious anyway. He'd rather not have his brother mad at him forever. Then again, he didn't want to actually let Yugi go unpunished somehow. He DID come all this way. He wasn't going to have it be a waste........
"All right then Yugi. I just changed my deck, using a mix of Duel Monsters cards from America and Japan. If you can beat me in a duel in front of all those people, I'll drop the charges, and arrange for passage back to your homes in a few months......."
"A FEW MONTHS!?!?!?!?!" Joey yelped.
"I want the vacation from you idiots," Kaiba quipped, "And if I win, you're facing the charges, and getting your own ways back to Japan later, depending on the sentence and verdict."
".......Kaiba, you know we didn't kidnap Mokuba."
"Maybe, but you DID steal those Dueling gloves I was working on....."
"Actually, I took those because I thought they could use field testing." Mokuba said, a half-truth.
"..........Doesn't matter."
"Fine, I accept your challenge Kaiba."
"Hold on Yugi, either way he's getting free publicity from this." Yami Bakura brought up.
"True, but I don't have a choice. You and all of my friends are counting on me, or we will all end up imprisoned........" Yami Yugi answered as he stepped onto the stage.
".......What is Yugi doing?" Kaiba questioned.
////////////////////////////////////////////////////
"Hey, that's one of the new kids from our class, but he........seems different." Scott pointed out.
"May I have your attention please?" Yami Yugi's confident voice said on the speakers, "Welcome to the U.S. tour of Kaiba Corp. Duelist Innovations! You're all familiar with the Duel Disks and Duelist Platforms I'm sure."
"Yes." Was the collective response.
"Well, Kaiba Corp. is currently working on the wave of dueling, Duelist Gauntlets!"
"............For a pathetic person that preaches about "the heart of the cards", he throws a hell of a sales pitch...........I'm officially renaming these Duelist Gauntlets........" Kaiba said to himself as he prepared his deck.
"Will all the visitors please take your seats on the stands? We have a surprise for you. A duel between two of the champions of Japan, and we will need the ground for the duel."
They got on the stands, with rumors abuzz in the crowd.
"Vhy do they need the ground?" Kurt wondered.
Yami Yugi then put on a wireless headset microphone he borrowed from the skate park, and proceeded to the ground. Kaiba hung back for a moment.
"Who built those stands anyway?" he asked Yami Bakura.
"We all did Kaiba, just so we could make it up to ya for the Duel Gloves thingies being hi-jacked!" Joey answered.
Kaiba remained silent, and went down onto the ground.
"Hey, isn't that the vierd guy that was shouting yesterday?" Kurt asked, pointing to Kaiba.
"......I think you're right." Scott agreed.
"Here." Yami Yugi said as he handed Kaiba another headset.
"........."
Kaiba put the headset on.
"All right now, prepare to see just why the Duelist Gauntlets are going to really make an impression on the Duelist world." Kaiba said.
Kaiba held out his right arm, the one with the gauntlet on it, and four machines flew out and to four corners. Yami Yugi mimicked Kaiba, and his gauntlet did the same.
"All right, call it!"
Kaiba and Yami looked to the side. Tea was standing there dressed in a referee's shirt, with a coin in her hand. Yami and Kaiba sweatdropped.
"........Tea, what are you doing in that get-up?" Kaiba asked, heard by the entire crowd due to the headset.
"Do you MIND!?!?!" Tea replied.
"Kaiba, it's your call." Yami told him.
"Fine then, tails."
Tea flipped the coin, and called it out.
"It's Tails. Kaiba decides the turn order!"
"I will go first then."
Yami and Kaiba draw five cards, and the number 8000 pops up over Yugi and Kaiba's heads.
"8000?" Yami wondered.
"It ties in with a tournament I'm planning......." Kaiba answered as he drew for his turn, "The rules are going to change the way Duel Monsters is played, but for now, there are few changes from Duelist Kingdom. Now, I will set two cards."
Two cards appear face-down on the field.
"And I summon La Jinn the Mystical Genie of the Lamp!"
La Jinn appears on the field. It's attack and defense values pop up, reading 1800/1000.
"I end my turn."
"Hmm."
Yami drew a card.
"I set three cards, and summon Summoned Skull!"
The Duelist Gauntlet whines.
"What!?!"
"I forgot to mention, I programmed the Gauntlets with the tournament rules. To summon monsters with star levels above 4, you need to tribute an existing monster on your side of the field. If it has 7 or more stars, you need to tribute two monsters, and if it has 9 or more, you need to tribute three." Kaiba told him.
Yami sweatdropped, and reassessed his hand.
'This means I need to change my entire game plan.' Yugi thought.
'Wait, Kaiba said an EXISTING monster on your side of the field......' Yami noted.
'And only one normal summon per turn.........' Yugi was thinking in tandem with his other self.
"Very well then, I set this monster face-down in defense mode. I end my turn."
Kaiba drew a card. He smirked.
"I summon Saggi the Dark Clown, and activate the Crush Card Virus."
"OH-NO!"
The crowd watched as Saggi burst into virus matter that flooded into Yugi's deck, hand, and field. Yugi's face-down monster was turned face-up, revealing the Mystical Elf.
"Grrrr..... I can't destroy your defense just yet Yugi.......but I WILL win......"
Then the Duelist Gauntlet took the monsters with attack values over 1500 from Yugi's hand and put them into the graveyard.
"I end my turn Yugi......"
Yami drew a card, and sighed in relief.
"You forget, Kaiba, that cards I Special Summon from the graveyard are NOT counted in the Crush Card Virus effect. I play Graceful Charity!"
Kaiba was surprised.
'Ergh, damn. He's acquired new cards too....' he thought.
"I draw three cards, and discard Summoned Skull, and Beaver Warrior as Graceful Charity's effect requires. Now, I play MONSTER REBORN!!!!"
Summoned Skull appears on the field, and his values are 2500/1200.
"Ergh, damn!" Kaiba muttered.
"And for my normal summon this turn, I set this face-down. Now, I attack La Jinn with Summoned Skull!"
Summoned Skull skewers La Jinn with it's claws, destroying it, and bringing Kaiba's life points to 7300.
"I end my turn."
Kaiba draws a card, and looks at Yugi.
"Very well then, I'll use your own strategy against you. I play Tribute to the Doomed, and discard Blue Eyes White Dragon from my hand as payment!"
Summoned Skull is destroyed.
"And now I play Premature Burial."
Kaiba's life points go to 6600 and Blue Eyes appears on the field in all it's glory.
"He-he-he......"
"Wha?"
"I activate Multiply!"
Then Yami's face down monster flips up. Kuriboh appears, and multiplies like mad.
"Not this again! I end my turn."
Yami draws a card.
"I set this card face-down, and set one monster face down. I end my turn."
Kaiba draws a card, and smirks.
"This time, I think you'll be surprised.......I play Dark Hole!"
A black hole opens over the field, and sucks in all the monsters.
"Not even millions of Kuriboh can escape the Dark Hole Yugi."
Yami steps back in surprise.
"Now, this play is risky, but needed. I summon Cyber Stein."
A patchwork machine/man appears with an attack of only 700.
"His effect let's me pay 5000 of my life points to special summon a Fusion monster from my fusion deck. Can you guess what it is?"
Kaiba's life points go down to 1600 as Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon appears. Yugi is shocked.
"And that's not all. I equip him with Megamorph, doubling his attack since my life points are lower than yours."
Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon's 4500/3800 stats change, bringing the attack to a staggering 9000.
"Oh no, if he hits me, I'm finished!" Yami exclaimed.
"BLUE EYES, ATTACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Kaiba shouted.
To be continued..........

"All right, call it!"
Kaiba and Yami looked to the side. Tea was standing there dressed in a referee's shirt, with a coin in her hand. Yami and Kaiba sweatdropped.
"........Tea, what are you doing in that get-up?" Kaiba asked, heard by the entire crowd due to the headset.

Then the Duelist Gauntlet took the monsters with attack values over 1500 from Yugi's hand and put them into the graveyard.
"I end my turn Yugi......"
