YuGiOh in Batman: Break the Bat!

Disclaimer: I don't own YuGiOh and Batman, because only Kazuki Takahashi, Bob Kane, and Bill Finger are the original and creators of the their creations/franchises.

(Just so you know, I've changed both Kaiba and Téa's ages to 28 instead of 30, because like in Japanese anime, the characters are usually 1-2 years younger than the English anime. And ironically, the same day that Téa came back is her birthday. Once again, I've done some research! Also, the role of Alfred has changed to Arthur Hawkins, instead of Mokuba. Mokuba is already Kaiba's younger brother in the previous chapters/Fanfics.)

-Egyptian Temple Grounds: Last day of the training period

"Welcome back, Seto Kaiba. Odion has told me that you passed his test." says Shadi.

"Yes, I have."

"Now, today's your last day of your retraining period. You must pass Shiva's test in order to get to mine, but as a little twist... Your test with her is also a rematch in the forms of combat."

"I should've known."

"Yes, but I somehow knew it at first thought. You traveled here to seek the ways of healing your physical infliction, and you did so. Now you must face your rival in battle, and only if you defeat her, then you can go try your hand at my test."

"I will, Shadi. I will succeed."

"We'll find out."

Suddenly, a figure appears nearby. It is Shiva, all dressed in a full black uniform.

"Ready for my test, Seto? This battle is all about swordsmenship."

"I see..."

Odion walks towards the two and hands them each a sword.

"Let's go!" shouts Vivian.

"Yes..."

Both swordsmen circle each other slowly and patiently. Wong quickly strikes against Kaiba, who dulls the hit with his sword. CLANK!

"Remember, when dueling with swords, it truly is a mental challenge as well!"

"I do."

Kaiba swings his sword high and swings it back down, heavily. But Wong defends herself with the sword blocking every move he makes.

"If you can't beat me, at least we go on a date together..."

"Never!"

He leaps towards Shiva and tries to do an aerial assault, but she parries away from him. Thinking of something quickly, he charges at her with blurry speed.

Let's see here. He's charging at me with lightening speed, and his sword is encased in the scabbard. It'll take some time for him to release the it, due to it being a reversed-blade. If I can evade that split second, I'll counter and win the match.

As he closes near Wong, he quickly tries a cutting attack. Shiva, who sees his move from a mile away, blocks the attack right away.

"Foolish move, Seto...what! No way...!"

As soon as she finished blocking against the sword, his scabbard is swung instantly, which knocks her down to the ground.

"Ughh... should've seen that one coming. No wonder you were able to defeat Ra's before."

"Yes, you should've, Wong."

"I'm not down yet... let us continue this fight!"

"Fine by me!"

Can't do the same technique again... she'll counter it by then.

Strike after strike, both Kaiba and Wong block each other's attacks in an almost pattern-like motion.

After the two finish swinging their swords at each other, they cease momentarily. They start to circle again.

"It seems that we're evenly matched with each other, Wong."

"That maybe the case, but it's time to start the real battle!"

They both start charging towards each other at the same time. Both swords clash against the other, chipping each blade, until...

"What the hell?" states Seto.

The two swords break apart into pieces as soon as they both hit each other.

"So now what?"

"Well, Seto. Normally, in a duel like this, when both swords are damaged beyond repair at the same time. It's a draw."

"I can tell that."

All 3 men witness that the fight has ended: Shadi, Odion, and Arthur. (He was staying at some place near the temple.)

"We have witnessed your rematch, Seto Kaiba. You have passed Shiva's test. Even if it's a draw, it counts as being equal to the instructor."

"So I did pass."

"Quite so, sir." says Arthur.

"It's time for you to be tested on your mind's power!" states Shadi.

Kaiba walks near Shadi, while the rest follow suit.

-Inside Egyptian Temple: Moments later

"Since you passed the first two tests, have they been of much challenge to you, Mr. Kaiba?"

"Yes, Shadi. They have been quite challenging to me. Both in terms of mental and physical obstacles."

"Good. For those two tests have shown to me that you are ready to pass my test. Follow me to this chamber."

He does so. Moments later, the 2 men go inside a large chamber room. Everything's decorated with golden statues and pillars.

"This test shall force you to face your fears and the catalyst that made you to become the symbol of darkness... the Batman."

Shadi then says a line of ancient egyptian language. He then takes out his Millenium Key to further his mental powers. Suddenly, Shadi unleashes a blinding white light coming from his Millenium item.

Uuunnnhhh...

Shortly after Kaiba's been consumed by the light, he suddenly sees himself in some maze filled with gold. Flights of stairs seem to cover the whole place.

"Where am I?"

"You are inside the Pharaoh's former mind." says a disembodied voice that resembles Shadi's.

"Shadi? What's the test?"

"I simply transported your mind to the nameless Pharaoh, Atem. Follow to where your instincts tell you, and you'll find the correct door to pass my test."

"Fine!"

Kaiba walks towards the stairway closest to him, and runs upward. As he climbs higher up the stairs, he notices his surroundings a bit more stranger as he goes.

"If I walk up these stairs, there's another one going sideways and sometimes upside-down! Shadi told me to follow my instincts, and I am. The only problem is, the ways I go through, the stranger the passages are."

He finds a door in the distance of the halls of the labyrinth.

"You have found the correct door to enter, but beware... you must enter that door, facing your enemies within it." says Shadi.

"I'll enter this one..."

He opens the chosen door, and finds himself gassed by a mental image of Scarecrow.

"Urgh! Not again!" Cough! Cough! Cough!

"Meet the master of fear, Scarecrow! Hahahaha! Fear me, Batman! Fear me!"

"NOOO!"

Seto immediately punches the image, shattering Bakura to pieces.

"Hahahahahaha!" laughs a familiar voice.

"Joker..."

"Well, well, Batty! How's this for good 'ol memories?"

Suddenly, mental images flash in front of Seto's eyes, showing Téa's tortures from the maniacal clown.

"Aaauuurrgghh! Téa...no... wait... this is just a vivid vision, only in my mind, so it feels so real..."

"Hahahahaha! Feel the pain, Seto? You must suffer, for I lost my Catherine, so you lose your Téa!"

"Never, Joker! I won't let you control my mind!"

"Wha?"

In a flash, the Joker suddenly warps into other familar faces of the Rogues' Gallery.

"I had enough!"

Out of nowhere, the hideous faces disperse into flowing spirits, all depicting images of the infamous villains. Several faces include: Malik, Ivy, Spellbinder, and much more.

"I must be one with the darkness... must remember that...

Some more images flash around him, showing the parents' murder.

"Don't be afraid Seto..."

"...a strong mind perceives its own reality!"

Suddenly, the images surrounding him, disappear into the light.

"You have passed... my test."

In a few seconds, Kaiba's surroundings return back to reality.

"Was that a real place, Shadi?"

"Yes, you almost went to the place of no return... the shadow realm."

"Shadow realm?"

"Those villains who attacked you, those were some of the shadow creatures that dwell there, but enough of that... you passed!"

"Finally, I can get back home."

Arthur walks nearby his master.

"Very well, sir. I am very proud of you."

"Arthur, get the plane ready. I'm leaving in a few hours."

"Yes, sir."

"Remember Kaiba, if you need the three of us to assist you in the future, you can always come here."

"I'll remember that. And Shiva?"

"Yes, Seto?"

"Our real rematch will to wait..."

"Real rematch...? Oh, I see... see you then, lover..."

Okay... perhaps I should've not said that to her.

-Air strip: A few hours later

"I've contacted Téa, sir. She's told me during your absence, another masked hero is currently in Domino."

"Who, Arthur?"

"She did say she was able to meet him face-to-face, and he calls himself Nightwing."

"Nightwing?" asks Seto.

"Yes, apparently, she told me that 'Nightwing' sports a black colored body armor. Complete with metal gaunlets and a blue eagle as his symbol."

"I'll look into it."

"I thought as much, sir."

Kaiba Corporation: The next day

The famous billionaire returns to his family's company, only to be a little perturbed by several of his workers. They seem pissed at him for a 'vacation' in the US.

He enters Roland's office soon after.

"Roland."

"Mr. Kaiba, it's been some time... you probably noticed that some of the workers are a little stressed by Bane's assault upon the city."

"I do, Roland."

"I see that you're back in shape. Guess this is a good time to show something that I've been working on for some time."

"A new project, Roland?"

"No, no... it's just for you.. for saving Domino as well.."

"I see..."

"Follow me to the Applied Sciences Division, Mr. Kaiba."

Applied Sciences Division: Minutes later

The once abandoned department shows several workstations filled with new products, currently being made.

"You'll like this alot, Kaiba."

"I will?"

Roland turns to a secret padlocked closet. He opens it up, and reveals a surprise to Seto.

"No way..."
