The suns rays were extending over Domino City. The birds were chirping and people were in a genuine good mood. A small boy exited his game shop. He looked up into the sky and smiled. He had experienced his share of hardships and he just wanted to be happy. Actually, this was the first time the boy smiled in a while. He had just lost his closet friend and felt horribly lost without him. All of his other friends moved away and went on with their lives. His grandfather still lived with him, but he still felt alone. The only other person who seemed to care at all was running toward him at a very fast speed.
"Yugi! Hey Yugi!" the boy said between gasps. "Joey!" Yugi replied happily. "Hey bud, what are ya doin?" Joey asked. "Nothing, just getting the mail." Yugi replied. Yugi put his hand inside the mailbox and pulled out a letter. He stood there looking at it for a while. "What's up Yug?" Joey asked. "It's a letter...addressed from Kaiba!" Yugi exclaimed. This sparked Joey's interest. "Well aren't you going to open it?" Joey questioned. Yugi did just that. He pulled up the flap and pulled out the letter. He dropped the envelope on the ground. "Joey, it's another tournament. It's the last tournament!" Yugi said. "What do ya mean, the last tournament?" Joey asked. "It's the last tournament Kaiba is ever hosting and only the most advanced duelists are accepted. Wait, didn't you get a letter?" Yugi explained. "Well..no! That Kaiba! I prove myself time and time again and he still doesn't think I'm good. I almost beat him once. Oh..he's gonna get it.."Joey fumed. "It's okay Joey, I know you'll find a way!" Yugi said. This made Joey smile and they went into the game shop.
Joey looked around at all the cards inside the glass case. Everything in this room held a special memory to each of them. The group of friends that were once inseparable had drifted apart. Things change and so do people, and this was a lesson the Joey had found out the hard way. He suddenly feel awfully sad. Just then a familiar voice rang through the shop as a old friend had entered.
"Joey!" he exclaimed. Joey looked around and smiled at the face that was now staring at him. "Tristen, buddy long time no see!" Joey replied. "Tristen!" Yugi piped in. "The one and only! I haven't seen you guys in a while! Joey, how's your sister?" Tristen said. "Yep, you haven't changed. Anyway my sis is too good for you...so move on!" Joey replied, then Tristen punched him. Joey punched him back. Yugi knew that this was their odd way of showing each other they cared. He was just glad that they weren't that way with him. "So, Tristen what brings you back to Domino?" asked Yugi. "The tournament, I knew you guys would be lost without me!" Tristen answered. Yugi laughed, he missed Tristen so much.
Tristen had traveled all over Japan. He wanted to find the one thing he was good at. He hasn't found it yet, but these things take time. "Guys, I don't know about this tournament..."Yugi started to say. Suddenly the mood in the store changed. It wasn't happy, but now it was dark and mysterious. "Oh no...don't even start that. Okay what weird pshyco guy are we dealing with this time?" Joey asked. He was quite serious, although with Joey it may be hard to tell. "I just don't know. Even though I haven't dueled for a while, I feel I have to enter this tournament. See guys, I had this strange dream..." Yugi started to explain, but he was interrupted. Tristen gulped and Joey sighed. They knew that this dream wasn't gonna end good.
"Well I was walking downtown. Suddenly everything turned black. I was alone and someone was chasing me, laughing. It was horrible, all I could hear was the laughing. Then I felt something. It was a card and I picked it up. Light started to come out of it. All the darkness went away and I was back in Domino again. I have a feeling that there is more to this dream." Yugi told the two. "I dunno, maybe it was something you ate." Joey suggested. "Yeah, let's just go with that." Tristen agreed. "Well, Yug whatever it means, you won't go through it by yourself!" Joey announced. "Nope, your friends will always have you back. Man, I was hoping that it was the bad food thing too..." Tristen told Yugi. "Thanks guys! I can always depend on you!" Yugi concluded and he became much happier.
They boys decided to watch some tv. Yugi turned it on and their was a special about fate. A physic was giving her opinion about the subject. "Man, what does she know about fate? I betch ya we could give her a run for money, hey Yug!" Joey joked, poking Yugi's arm. Yugi pushed him off the couch and they all started laughing. '' No seriously, this lady doesn't know anything. Let's go outside, there's nothing on tv anyway!" Joey suggested. "Yeah, plus Yugi has to registered for the tournament and Joey has to find a way to sneak his way into the tournament!" Tristen exclaimed. "Hey how do ya know I wasn't chosen?" Joey asked, he was a little upset about what Tristen just said. "It's Kaiba' s tournament, and I know that he wouldn't of invited you!" Tristen said in a very matter of fact way.
The guys walked to the mall. Inside was a huge booth where they could register. There wasn't a long line of people, so they didn't have to wait very long. "Name's please!" the secretary commanded ."Yugi" Yugi said, and before he could finish, he was handed a new duel disk and a clear chip. It looked just like the old one but it had new features. Unfortunately from looking at it, the new features were invisible. "Joey Wheeler!" Joey announced. "Um, I'm sorry your name isn't on the network." the secretary answered. Joey then pulled his collar over the counter and yelled," Listen man, I don't care what you do or how you do it, but you better get me into this tournament!" The man handed Joey a duel disk and a clear chip. "Hey buddy are you okay?" Joey asked. The man was panting. "You know, people really need to get some patience. Apparently my cousin was also pulled over the counter and yelled at. Funny the lady who did it to her said like the same thing you did! I am so advising the rest of my family not to become secretaries!" the man explained, and then he ran out of the mall crying."That was weird!" Joey said. The others nodded in agreement.
The boys went outside. The sky had suddenly become gray. The clouds covered the sun and it was apparent that it would rain soon. "Man, it was such a nice day.'' Yugi whined. "Well at least we are ready for the tournament. Oh, and this time I'm going to the top! I wonder who else will be invited?" Joey asked. They were also curious. "Well probably Rex and Weevil, they always end up in the competitions anyway. Um, maybe Mako and Keith. Probably Rebecca..."Tristen started to say, but he noticed that Yugi shuddered at the sound of Rebecca's name. Tristen started to say some more duelists, but he quickly changed the subject. "Um, who cares anyway! I'm hungry, Joey are you hungry?" Tristen covered up. Joey gave him a weird look, and replied "Of course, I'm always hungry!" Yugi laughed and Tristen gave a sigh of relief. There were many duelists that could be in the tournament that they didn't want to run into again. There was also one in particular that he thought would in the tournament. Tristen never knew about her though, she was like the wind. She was there one second and gone the next. "That girl is something else..."Tristen muttered. "What you say?'' Joey asked. ''Oh nothing!'' Tristen replied. They continued walking to the restaurant. Tristen didn't want Joey get hurt again. Not that he would, but well it was very complicated.
Joey was looking up at the sky. A plane zoomed past and started descending to the airport. "Hey Yug, I bet that plane is filled with duelists!" Joey exclaimed. "Probably!" Yugi said. They entered the restaurant and sat down for a well deserved break. The seats were made of red velvet and the carpet was also red. "Wow, everything in this place is red!" Joey said. "Yeah, but the tables are black!" Tristen said. Yugi was ignoring the conversation. He had a feeling that that plane was going to bring trouble. Big trouble.
