Chapter 1 – Enter the Duelists
The Domino City duel arena was shrouded in darkness. But amongst the shadows, there seemed to be one that was moving. As it reached the platform in the center of the stage, the mechanical whirring of the elevator as the platform rose above the rest of the arena indicated that someone was there. Suddenly the lights came alive, flooding the arena and surrounding stadium seats with light.
Standing on the raised platform was a teenaged boy in a stereotypical Japanese male school uniform. His overflowing grayish-white hair hid the upper portions of his eyes. He wore a rather large gold pendant around his neck. The pendant was a triangle whose points intersected the edge of a circle with an eye of Anubis etched into the triangle with five cones hanging from balls attached to the bottom of the circle.
"I invoke the power of the Millennium Ring to bring forth those worthy of the challenge!" the boy shouted into the empty arena. The eye of Anubis on his pendant began to glow a bright yellow as the arena began to fill with a dark, shadowy fog. Suddenly, rising from the fog, were a number of strange and unique figures. The Millennium Ring ceased to glow, the dark shadowy fog receding. It left behind sixteen various people and things, each with a Kaiba Corp. Duel Disk on their left arms.
"Where the shell am I?" a large human-like turtle wearing a red mask and belt with the letter R on the buckle asked.
"Is that a Pokemon!" a small boy with a large mouth and a yellow squirrel on his shoulder exclaimed.
"Welcome duelists," the boy on the platform spoke up. "I have brought you here from various planets, realms, and times for one purpose: to duel! I am Yami Bakura, your master of ceremonies! You will notice each of you has been given a Duel Disk and a deck, based upon your personality, for which to compete in my tournament. So prepare yourselves, because the Anime All-Stars Yu-Gi-Oh! Tournament will begin shortly!"
