This is my first attempt at writing about a duel, so it might be horrible. I'm still in the process of learning what the cards do and everything, and since this is about a tournament I have to have duels, this one is really short...but you'll see why!

Moses-the-little-gurl: I'm glad!

intricate simplicity: Thanks so much! About the Domino thing, the story starts out with Mai, Kaiba, Serenity and Duke in America. They were traveling to Domino. Sorry if it confused you, I'm new to this whole thing! ;D I'll try to update ASAP!

Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh...unfortunately

The alarm clock rang. It was 6:00 in the morning, and it was time to get ready for the tournament. "Wake up Joey!" Yugi said, pulling the blankets off of Joey.

This resulted in Joey kicking Yugi and Yugi flipping over the couch.

"Oh, Yug...are you okay?" Joey asked, yawning.

"Yeah!" Yugi replied, he was rubbing his back. He didn't land very well. Joey nudged Tristen and he woke up.

"I'm up, sheesh...where's Bakura?" Tristen asked between yawns. They looked around and Bakura was no where in sight.

"I'm in here!" Bakura replied. The group of boys followed his voice. He was in the kitchen eating cereal.

"I already got up and showered, you guys should get ready too! The girls are already up and ready. The radio said that anybody invited to the tournament should arrive at about 7:30! You better hurry up!" Bakura explained.

"Gibs on the shower!" Joey yelled as he knocked everybody down. He scrambled out of the kitchen and got into the shower.

"Oh no...he'll use all the hot water!" Tristen complained.

"It's okay." Yugi said. He was anxious for this tournament to begin. Unfortunately he was not alone.

"Move it! We are gonna be late for the tournament!" screamed Weevil.

Rex moved out of the way. They had to sleep in a dumpster because they didn't have any money for a hotel. They also weren't invited to Yugi's and they couldn't exactly show up. They weren't even friends of Yugi's. Rex and Weevil walked out of the alley. The sun hit their eyes. It was so bright that they had to put their arms in front of their faces.

"We have to get Yugi's cards!" Rex said.

"Yes, I know that!" Weevil yelled back. The two continued arguing as they walked to the middle of Domino. They were being passed by a lot of other duelists. One is particular was Mai Valentine.

She was walking from the hotel. Her blonde hair bounced with each step, and she got the attention of almost every male duelist. Of course she was used to this by now. Rex and Weevil watched her for a while. She went to sit down at a booth and they joined her.

"Hey Mai!" Rex said. Mai gave him a look of disgust.

"So what do you think about the competition?" Weevil asked.

"If your trying to be friendly, your not good at it! I think most of them will be an easy victory for me anyway. Of course I won't be dueling you two, because I don't duel preschoolers!" Mai explained. She spoke each word with a strong sense of dislike.

"What did we ever do to you Mai? Are you mad because we keep trying to beat Yugi? I thought you ditched those losers and went with Valon! I mean after Dartz was destroyed, what did you do then?" Weevil asked. Mai rolled her eyes.

'These losers are really wasting my time,' she thought.

"I have better things to do than answer you pointless questions!" Mai said, pounding her fist on the table. She got up and walked away. Rex and Weevil just shrugged their shoulders and waited for Yugi.

"Come on guys! Run faster!" Yugi yelled. He knew they would be late. They all took so long to get ready. They were running in a single line. They were also dodging cars and ignoring the people beeping at them.

"Almost there.."panted Tea. Finally after running about 2 miles they arrived. The town square was full of duelists. They were eagerly awaiting Kaiba and Yugi. A voice suddenly rang over the city.

"Welcome to the last Kaiba Tournament! This is your last time to claim the title, King of Games! If you win this, you shall never be dethroned. The rules are similar to the last Battle City. If you didn't attend the last Battle City, then you weren't worthy enough then and somehow snuck into this tournament. I will not be repeating the rules, so find somebody who knows them or find them out for yourself. A few things have changed. As soon as you lose one duel, then you are disqualified immediately! I will know if you lose because your duel disk is connected to the Kaiba Corp. computer, so I know your every move! You are not allowed to refuse a duel. If you do, you will be disqualified. There is no exceptions to this rule. This competition will be so intense that you will face your greatest fears! Now begin!" Kaiba yelled as he jumped out of his blimp. The blimp wasn't noticeable because it was very small and it was hidden behind the largest building in Domino. Several people screamed at Kaiba's jumping act. He pulled out a parachute and slowly fell to the ground. He landed and people clapped and cheered.

"I must beat Yugi!" Kaiba whispered. This was his last shot, and he wouldn't let it go.

Yugi watched this act. 'I won't let you win.' he thought.

Yugi started to walk away. Tea and Tristen followed him.

Serenity stood by Joey. "Don't worry big brother, you will do fine!" she cheered. Joey smiled.

"I know! Let's go wit Yugi for a while!" he replied. They followed the group. They were looking at all the other duelists, and there were many. Some were walking around and dueling while others stayed hidden. "Send her out!" whispered a dark man. He was concealed in the shadows. The plan was underway.

"Yugi!" said a young girl. She was around their age and she had dark black hair. She wore all black clothing and black lipstick. She also had piercings all over her face and her ears. Her black hair swayed in the wind. Yugi turned around. The sight of her made him sick.

"I choose you to duel!" she said. Her voice was high pitched and gut wrenching.

"You don't have to duel her!" said Tea!

"Yes I do. It's the rules!" Yugi replied.

"Let's duel!" they both said at once.

Yugi looked into the girl's eyes, they were dark and soulless.

''I'll go first! I play the Flaming Swordsman in attack mode. Then I place one card face down and end my turn! Yugi you will lose!" she screamed. She started to laugh and it was merciless.

'Hmm, I don't like that face down card. It might be a trap or a magic card.' Yugi thought. He looked at his hand. It wasn't a bad hand, but it wasn't a great hand either. The girl was tapping her foot impatiently.

"Why are you taking so long?" she asked. Yugi looked at her, there was something about her he didn't like.

"Hmm, I play Queens Knight in attack mode. I also play the Kings Knight in attack mode. Thanks to his special ability I can now call forth the Jacks Knight in attack mode. I will attack your Flaming Swordsman! Jacks Knight..attack!" Yugi yelled. The Knight attacked and the Swordsman was destroyed. Joey cheered and Tea jumped up and down. Tristen and Serenity high-fived. The intensity of the attack blew the girl to the ground. She watched her monster fade away.

"Very well then." she gulped, "I reveal my face down card!" Yugi looked stunned. He didn't want to continue, but nobody else could do it for him.

"I play Worst Fear of Souls." the girl exclaimed. A evil look came upon her face.

"I've never seen that card before, have you Joey?" Yugi asked. Joey shook his head no.

"Of course you haven't, this is a very special card. It was created by a powerful man. It feeds off of your fears and makes them real. Little Yugi, what are your fears?" she asked. Yugi stood there, he had no clue the power of this card.

"You don't know? Well think about the first card I played." she laughed, glaring at him.

Yugi looked at Joey, and yelled, "Stop this madness."

"Can't you handle it? Watch this!" the girl cried. Suddenly the sky became dark and purple smoke entered the area in which they were dueling. Yugi looked up and suddenly the girl had turned into Joey. Yugi looked over and saw the real Joey.

"What's going on?" he yelled.

"It's your worse fear, dueling your best friend. If I win your worst fears come true, and Joey will be sent to the shadow realm. His soul will be ours. Once he is gone my boss will be so powerful. Now that the pharaoh is gone, there will be nobody to stop him!" she laughed.

Yugi felt sick. The girl who now looked like Joey was standing in front of him. He couldn't lose. He couldn't fight his friend either.

"Yugi, just remember, that's not me! I'm right here, beat her Yug!" Joey yelled. Yugi nodded. He drew another card, his Dark Magician.

"With your nonsense, you left yourself totally defenseless! I place two cards face down and I play the Dark Magician. Then I'll attack your lifepoints directly!" Yugi yelled. The girl stood there cowering in fear. She had left herself defenseless and now she would loose in own turn. Yugi played his face down card, Brave Attack, now all three of his knights could put there attack strength together. The girl's life points went to zero as soon as the knights attacked. She slowly changed back into herself. She fell to the ground. Yugi ran over to her.

"Tell me what you want!" he yelled.

She smiled, "I wanted to be a distraction..." she whispered. She didn't move again. Yugi started shaking her.

"What's wrong with her Yug?" Joey asked as he ran over.

"I think her soul is gone." Yugi gulped.

"We can never have a normal tournament. Damn it, what did she want?" Joey asked.

"I don't know, she didn't leave any clues." Yugi sighed. They were faced with a new challenge, only this time they had to figure out everything on their own.

I tried with the duel and everything, but it was short on purpose! Thanks for reading and review if you want to!
