Chapter 4-

Jr. Finds Out

The day had arrived. The day that Yugi, Joey, Kaiba, and so many others would board the same boat Pegasus provided for his last tournament.

This is it, Yugi thought to himself as he got dressed.

"Why would Pegasus host another tournament after losing to us last time?" Asked Yami to Yugi.

"Maybe he just wants to try again."

"Maybe…"

"We'd better go. The boat leaves in half an hour."

Yugi met Joey at the pier where the boat was anchored.

"Yo, Yugi! Over here!" Joey flagged Yugi over by waving his arms.

"Hi, Joey."

"You think Tea or Tristan 'r comin'?"

"There they are," answered Yugi.

Sure enough, Tea and their other friend, Tristan jogged over to them.

"You should see everyone," said Tristan, "Mako Tsunami, Mai Valentine, Weevil Underwood. Can you guys even consider them competition anymore?"

"No-possible-way," Joey said one word at a time.

"I didn't think so. Anyway, see you guys."

"Yeah! Kick butt!" added Tea.

"Seeya," called Joey and Yugi as they boarded the cruise-ship.

"It don't look any different than last time," perceived Joey. "How long is this trip anyway,Yugi?"

"Uuuhhh…two days, I think."

"Awesome! Well, where's our rooms?"

Jr., at his dad's castle was watching the entire thing from a series of hidden cameras on the ship and on the dock. He was spying on the contestants, when he got a phone call.

BBBBRRING! BBBBRRING!

"Hello?" said Jr. into the receiver.

"Son…" said a familiar voice.

"Father?!?" exclaimed Jr., surprised.

"Jr.…I am very weak…I want only one favor from you," said Pegasus slowly.

"What is it, father?" asked Jr. gripping the phone cord with suspense.

"I must tell someone about this. In my duel with Yugi Moto, I used an … an illegal tool. In the end… I lost. I went to my tower to think things over, when some punk kid named Ryou Bakura challenged me to… a duel. He defeated me and, stole my…um… tool. This is when the favor comes in."

Finally, thought Jr., who was only faking concern before.

"I would like you to retrieve it and give it to me."

"Yes, father," said Jr., faking interest once again.

"Thank you, son. Goodbye."

Pegasus hung up.

Jr. had an evil smile on his face.

"Oh, father dear, I'll get your tool. But I won't be giving it to you."

Jr. picked up a black, heavy duty walkie-talkie.

"Kroket," he said into the walkie-talkie.

"Yes, master?" Kroket answered from the dock where the cruise ship was going to sail from.

"I want you to locate a Ryou Bakura and bring him aboard the jet."

"Right away, sir."

"And bring him to the little island behind Duelist Kingdom .I'll be there."

"As you wish, master." Kroket went out.

"Retrieving this duel-winning tool will help me test out my deck. Those simulations I ran were in my favor. I won 90 of every 50 card combination of a Duel Monster deck imaginable! I can't lose! But, my first duel. Sounds fun. It's on Ryou Bakura! You will lose!"
