Chapter 3 the trap
A few days later Joey, Yugi, Tristan, Bakura, and Tea receive letters telling them of the tournament. They arrived Pegasus's castle door.
"Halt you can not go in until Master Pegusus gives the word." Kimo declares.
"Then we'll wait." Yugi responds.
Several hours later as the sun start to go down.
"Welcome to the inter sanctum. Pegusus is awaiting your presence in the central duel chamber." Kimo instructs them. "Follow me please."
They follow Kimo to the dueling chamber. There are several guards here
"These guards will stay with you until it is time for your duels. The lady will go first. The rest of you will be lead to your rooms until it is time for you." Kimo says as the guards come towards the group. There are two guards for each person.
I am lead down a dark hallway towards a room I've become accustomed to. The door in front of me is the dueling chamber. Pegusus has brought me here several times to duel me. If I win he allows me to roam the island for a few hours to date I've only won once. That was when Pegusus had lost his millennium eye. To bad he quickly made me win it back. Of course it probably wouldn't have helped if I hadn't tried to escape that day.
I stand out front of the doors with several henchmen around me. Guess I can't escape today. A few minutes later I hear my name and am pushed through the door.
"Welcome Tea. I see you are ready to duel." A voice says from a dark corner of the room.
"Show yourself you creep." Tea shouts towards the dark corner.
"Gladly." Pegusus says as he steps from the shadows. "Now I'll introduce you to my champion who will duel you. I'd like you to meet Eagle McCloud the first duel monsters world champion."
I walk towards the podium and am lifted to the top. I look across the field and see a girl I don't know who she is, but when I look at Pegusus I know I have to beat her to save my life.
"I don't know who you are," I shout across the field, "but you won't last to see my greatest beast."
"Then let's duel and find out." She yells back to me.
We draw our hands. I wonder if the same trick Pegusus used on me will work on her.
"Let's make this interesting. I'll lay this card down and if you can beat it with what you have in your hand you and your friends can go free. But you can't use any thing but what you have in your hand." I declare
'What are you doing?!' Pegusus asks me in my head so I answer him back.
'I am winning the duel the same way you got me all those years ago.'
'Stop this foolishness. You don't know what she even has.'
I look at Pegusus his face is getting red like he's mad at me. He starts to reveal his millennium eye and I quickly reply to him.
'I know I don't know what she has but I know you do. I know how you beat me. So why can't I use what I know to my advantage.'
'Very well. Her monsters are all weaklings you could put out a Celtic guardian (1400/1200) and wipe her out.'
I look at Pegusus he's regained his composure. Hopefully I can defeat her before he realizes what I'm up to.
"Alright I'll attack your card with this petit angel (600/900) that will receive a power up from Fairy's gift and silver bow and arrow." Tea yells drawing my attention back to the match at hand.
"A nice shot but it won't beat my card. A Red eyes black dragon (2400/2000)." I yell back to her. "And with that you're defeated. Master Pegusus may I go now?" I asked turning to look at Pegusus.
"Kimo take Tea to the waiting room. And bring the next victim." Pegusus instructed him. Then he looked at me 'as for you. You'll stay here till we finish with the others.'
Minutes later Kimo returns with a very rough looking boy. I've only seen him once and that was at the duelist kingdom tournament but he wasn't a duelist.
"Master can I finish him off like I did Tea?" I asked looking at Pegusus.
"No I think it would be best to duel him like a duelist would. No tricks." Pegusus replied.
I could feel him looking at me and trying to figure out what I was thinking. I turned to Pegusus and asked "at least tell me the name of the duelist, Master."
"Oh very well. Tristan is the duelist. Now finish him off so we can continue the elimination round." Was Pegusus getting annoyed at me because he could tell I was stalling or was he just being very impatient?
"Tristan, let's duel. No tricks and games this time." I shouted across the field. I wonder if they found them yet.
Meanwhile in the rooms where Yugi was being kept,
"Hey what's this?" Yugi asked himself "it's a note."
What did eagle leave them and who is "them" and what happened to Tea. Find out in the next chapter
