Before I begin I want to address a few things:
I'm going to skip the majority of the Duelist Kingdom right up to when Yugi and friends enter Pegasus Castle.
The rules of the tournament made absolutely no sense; I can understand the field power bonus, but everything else like 'Call of the Haunted being able to revive all killed monsters as zombies' or 'Great Moth releasing poison which decrease a monsters power by 10 points every second'.
Also if anyone noticed that the duelist kingdoms arc is paying ohmaje to the less known "Yugioh season 0" then good for you.
I'm giving Yugi his battle city deck before obtaining the Egyptian God Cards. He'll also side some cards from the duelist kingdom such as Black Luster Soldier and Magician of Black Chaos. Yes I know I said that he'd use his canon deck during duelist kingdom, but he'll use his battle city deck during the finals.
Pairings are: Naruto x Serenity x? x? x?
Yugi x Tea
Joey x Mai

Chapter 3 part 1: Arrival to Duelist Kingdom & Yugi vs. Weevil
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or the Yugioh franchise.
It was morning and it was barely dawn when Duelist Kingdom came into view. Naruto was up on the bow staring at the island as the ship approached it. Naruto then looks at his deck then back at the island 'just you wait Pegasus, I'll tear you apart for what you have done to grandpa' Naruto thought angrily as his duel spirits appeared at his side showing him that they'd follow him no matter what.
On duelist kingdom, Pegasus was doing his morning routine when he felt a sense of dread coming up his spine 'oh my…. Who or whatever that was…. Is even more frightening than the Egyptian God Monster cards because this one is coming here….. I hope I survive the wrath of whatever that is' the creator of duel monsters thought as he started to sweat.
Back on the ship, Naruto's duel spirits looked at their master 'we'll stand by you Naruto-sama, always' the monsters said in unison before fading back into the deck.
Naruto is then accompanied by Joey, Yugi, Tristan and Tea as they watched the ship get closer to the island where they'll spend an unknown amount of time to get whatever it is that's needed to challenge Pegasus to earn the prize of either 3 million dollars or whatever the heart desires in Yugi's and Naruto's case Grandpa's soul returned.
"Man this Duelist kingdom looks like a pretty big place, Yugi, Naruto finding your grandpa isn't gonna be easy" Joey said to the two Moto Brothers.
"Well we gotta start somewhere" Yugi said as the ship pulled into the harbor.
"The only thing that we know is that Pegasus has grandpa's soul here on the island and if I were Pegasus, I would keep it where there are plenty of guards and security, so probably somewhere close to Pegasus" Naruto said deducting of the whereabouts of Solomon's trapped soul.
15 minutes later….
The ship has finally docked and the contestants began to disembark to their next challenge.
"Whoa check out the suits" Joey said as he saw several men in black clothing on the peer.
P.A: Attention all duelists please disembark in an orderly fashion.
"Hey Tea, what if those security guys find out we're both stowaways? We ought to play it safe and swim back" Tristan asked the female member of the group.
Naruto sweatdropped "you do realize that we're about 100 miles away from the mainland, right?" the blonde asked making Tristan sweat drop for even thinking it.
"We're in the middle of nowhere lamebrain! If you can try and act normal we'll be ok" she yelled at Tristan making the guy turn to Yugi.
"Dude… Yugi calm your woman" he said making both Yugi and Tea blush, before she whacked him over the head.
Naruto laughed "you surely know how to pick'em bro, she'll make a wonderful sister-in-law" he said wrapping an arm around Yugi's shoulder while grinning.
"B-big Brother!" Yugi exclaimed as both his and Tea's faces imitated a tomato in color.
Naruto, Joey and Tristan laughed at Yugi and Tea as they blushed.
"You're not one to laugh Joey since my brother is dating you sister" Yugi said making Joey stop laughing and look to Naruto.
"I accepted that you're dating Serenity, but hurt her or make her cry and you'll answer to me got it" Joey said being the big brother to his sister.
Naruto chuckled "of course Joey, I wouldn't be here if she wasn't important to me….. I'll win this tournament and win the prize money for Serenity's operation and save grandpa from Pegasus" he said with a determined look.
"Hey wait bro what do you mean? You can only use one of the prize cards" Yugi said.
Naruto then pulled out the blank card "this card represents what the heart desires…. I want my family together, I want to make Serenity better and introduce her to both you and grandpa. I want to have a future with everyone in it so with this I'll win both the money and grandpa's soul" he said as he put the card away.
Everyone looked at Naruto intently 'wow…. Naruto really put a lot of thought into what he wants' they thought as they made their way off the ship.
As the group walked off the ship, Tristan was still a bit uncomfortable about being here "Just act cool. Act cool. Cool as a cucumber. Keep it cool" he said to himself as he walked with a stiff.
"Hey you" one of the suits said getting Tristan's attention.
"Don't be so nervous. You guys are our guests here" the suit wearing man said.
"That's right. I'm your guest" he said as he bowed before running off to join the rest of the group.
"Way to go lamebrain" Naruto said with a playful smirk.
"Yeah ya didn't seem suspicious at all" Joey chimed in.
"I hate you two sometimes" Tristan said under his breath as he glared at the two blondes.
Well it seems that everyone made it off the boat especially the insect" Naruto said as he looked at Weevil who was smirking in their direction.
"What's he smirking about?" Joey asked with slight irritation.
"Don't know, but we'll worry about it later" Yugi said with everyone agreeing.
The man with the Tristan hair due appeared in front of the crowd "Welcome all duelists. Please, follow the stairs to meet your host" he said pointing towards the stair way that leads to a castle.
"That castle's got to belong to Pegasus" Yugi said.
"And the likely location of Grandpa's soul" Naruto chimed in.
"Then what are we waiting for?" Joey said as he started making his way towards the stairway.
As everyone started to climb the stairs, Tea sees something in the forest down below.
"Hey what's that?" she asked as she looked on into the forest.
"Huh? What do you see Tea?" asked Yugi.
"It looked like Bakura" she said pointing into the forest.
"Bakura for school?!" he asked looking where she was pointing to.
"Again, with this Bakura stuff?!" Tristan said.
"Where is he Tea?" Joey asked not seeing anything.
Naruto looked into the forest and the crack of his eye patch shined red 'I sense an evil intent down there, but it also feels ancient' he thought as he gave a low growl.
"That's twice that I've seen him now, but he's not there anymore. Maybe it's all in my head" she said with a confused look.
"Come on. We're on a rescue mission" Tristan said as the others started moving again with Tea following after a final look into the forest.
Behind one of the trees was a boy on older than Tea he has green eyes, and his hair is pale blue he wears a white wool sweater and green undershirt with blue pants.
Five minutes later, everyone was standing in front of the castle eagerly waiting for Pegasus to appear on the balcony above.
"Wow look that's Weevil Underwood! He's the regional champion" a random duelist said looking at Weevil.
"And that's the runner-up Rex Raptor" another duelist said looking at the dino duelist.
"And there's Mako Tsunami, he was ranked third" a third duelist said looking a tan teen with no shirt and a spear.
"Wow these are the best duelist in the world, but where the world champion, Seto Kaiba is?" the same kid asked looking for the strongest duelist in the world.
"Didn't you hear some kid beat him, and on his home turf, too" the first random duelist said.
"Seriously, I thought Kaiba was the best?" the second duelist asked.
"He was but not anymore, Naruto U. Moto's supposed to be the kid to beat now" the same kid said as both Joey and Yugi nudged him.
"Attention. Please gather around. Your benevolent host is anxious to greet you all" Saruwatri said.
"Hmmm" was all Yugi and Naruto said as they glared at the balcony.
Inside the castle a man wearing an all red suit and pants, white dress shoes and long white hair was walking through the hallway. As he made his way to the balcony, several guardsmen were in a line bowing to the man.
Back down, everyone was seething at the thought of the man who stole Solomon's soul "boy would I like to have 5 minutes alone with that guy" Joey said wishing to inflict some form of bodily harm on Pegasus.
"Get in line Joey, cuz I want a go at him first" Naruto said to Joey not taking his eyes off the balcony.
Pegasus then appeared on the balcony looking down at the contestants Yugi has a flashback to when he dueled Pegasus and saw his grandfather's be taken.
'I'm not leaving this island until I've saved my grandpa. No matter what Pegasus has planned for me' Yugi thought as he stared at Pegasus.
Naruto stared into Pegasus only visible eye and noticed something that he saw whenever he looked at himself in the mirror, his eye contained great pain and sorrow, but was masked with ambition 'whatever happened for him to be like this, must've caused this man to snap' Naruto thought as he stared at Pegasus with his visible eye.
"Hmm hmmm hmmm" Pegasus laughed sinisterly as he gazed down at the crowd.
"Greeting duelist, I am Maximillian Pegasus! It's my great honor and pleasure to welcome you all to the Duelist Kingdom Tournament. You stand before me, the world's greatest duelist. But come tournament's end, only one shall be crowned King of Games! I implore you all to assemble your dueling decks with care, with creativity, and with cunning for this competition will test your skills like never before! To track your progress each of you have been given a dueling glove and two precious star chips. You must wager these star chips on each duel you compete in. To advance to the final level of the competition for the chance of 3 million dollar prize you must win 10 star chips! 10 star chips will admit you access into my castle where you'll gain the opportunity to duel me" Pegasus said.
'If grandpa is here, I bet my dueling glove he's inside that castle, but I'll never be able to get inside with all the guards around, we're just gonna have to win enough star chips to get inside, so that'll be 30 star chips 10 for me, Joey and big bro' Yugi thought as he stared at Pegasus.
"This will be a tournament unlike you've ever seen or experienced. State-of –the-art dueling arenas cover the entire island, and intriguing new dueling rules will be in effect. I could tell you what these new rules are, but what fun will that be?" he asked.
"You'll discover them as you compete, or you won't last very long. Remember, play boldly, think strategically and duel mercilessly! You have one hour to prepare both your cards and yourselves. When the skies light up with fireworks the duels will begin!" he said getting everyone excited for the tournament to start.
As the crowd cheered, Pegasus walked back into the castle 'the duelist have arrived, and the Moto brothers have taken the bait, and the games are about to begin. Everything is going according to plan' he thought as he walked back to his chambers.
'I've gotta win my way into that castle, I just gotta' Yugi thought.
15 minutes later, the group has moved to a field a couple miles away from the castle, they had just finished preparing their decks, but Joey wasn't so sure about being able to compete "Yugi I don't know about this, may you should just take your star chip back" he said offering his star chip back to Yugi.
"Naw you keep it you little sister is counting on both you and big bro to win the prize money" Yugi said.
"Thanks buddy and Naruto be sure not to lose" he said to the older blonde.
"I can say the same to you Joey you too Yugi" Naruto said as he started walking away from the group.
"Hey bro where you going?" Yugi asked.
Naruto turned to Yugi and his group "I'm going on my own, better if you learn how to manage without me" he said making Yugi sadden that his big brother wasn't going to stay with the group, then he felt two finger tips pressing against his forehead (AN: how Itachi pokes at Sasuke) causing he to rub his forehead.
"Don't be so dishearten Yugi I have faith in you and I'll see you in the finals" he said grinning.
Yugi smiled "I'll see you there big brother" He said.
Naruto then walked away from the group as the fireworks lite up the sky.
15 minutes later, Naruto notices a crowd gathering in the forest, deciding to investigate, he hides into trees and see his brother dueling Weevil Underwood, 'so you decided to challenge the insect' Naruto thought as he sat on a branch and watch the duel as it unfolded.
Yugi vs. Weevil
"Let see how you like my Killer Needle (1200/1000)" Weevil said as he summon a wasp-like monster in what appeared to be a forest image.
"You'll have to get through my Mammoth Graveyard (1200/800) first" Yugi said as he summoned a skeletal elephant.
This massive monster will match your annoying insect point for point. Attack!" he said ordering his moving fossil.
"Killer Needle attack, let's show the mammoth your stinger. Attack!" Weevil ordered his monster to attack.
The wasp monster attacks the skeletal mammoth and destroys it.
"No!" Yugi yelled surprised that his monster was destroyed despite the two monsters being evenly matched.
"Ha! Gone after one sting it must be allergic" Weevil said in a mocking tone.
In the trees Naruto narrowed his eyes at Weevil 'so that was his game, he lead my brother here because of the field power boost…. If you do somehow survive this Weevil I'm coming after you' Naruto thought.
'I don't get it both our monsters were evenly matched… It should've been a stalemate?!' Yugi thought shocked at what had just happened.
"Have you begun to figure out yet why I lead you to this forest area?" Weevil asked.
"If you just look around, then you would see that this is an exact replica of our surrounding environment one part wasteland and one part forest…and who thrives in the forest? Bugs. The strongest and most powerful insects rule the forest and as long as I play my insect in the forest area I get a field power bonus. I guess you weren't listening when Pegasus said that this tournament would have exciting new surprises instore for us. Maybe if you were smart enough to steal the new rules like I did you would be getting the field power bonus instead of me. Hahahaha" he said as his monsters power went up.
Killer Needle: 1200 + 360= 1560/ 1000+ 40= 1040 (1560/1040)
Naruto glared at the insect user with some of his killer intent leaking out 'I'm definitely gonna kill that roach' he thought.
"He cheated! He led us here because he knew he had an unfair advantage" Joey said pissed that Weevil set up his friend.
"Go ahead! Call me a cheater. You're all just angry because you didn't swipe the rules yourselves. And because you didn't little Yugi is about to get stung" Weevil said before he heard Yugi laugh.
"What?! How could you be laughing?" Weevil asked.
"Because take a look at your ferocious Killer Needle now" he said as the wasp monster was destroyed.
"Oh no my monster what have you done with my monster?" he asked.
'This makes no sense my monster was super charged with the field power bonus. But according to this Yugi's monster became just as powerful' Weevil thought bitterly seeing that Mammoth Graveyard became as strong as his.
Mammoth Graveyard: 1200+ 360= 1560/ 800+400=1300 (1560/1300)
"Looks like my Mammoth Graveyard got a field power bonus from the wasteland area just like your bugs do from the forest" Yugi said.
"Grrr…. The field point advantage was supposed to be mine alone!" the bug user said as he growled.
"I've been wondering about something on the ride here Weevil. Why come to a remote island just to duel? But as soon as I saw this holographic display grid… it all came together. Every monster has a type of field that it does best on, like a home field advantage. And what makes this island so special is that it has every type of field imaginal! So when you deliberately lead us to this spot, you hoped to gain some type of home field advantage" Yugi said.
"Grrr… Hehe hehe hehe… you're awfully clever for figuring that out Yugi, but figuring out one rule won't be enough. There surprises hidden under every rock and I know them all" Weevil said.
'You can do this bro, I believe in you' Naruto thought as he watched the duel from the trees.
"You can beat him Yugi" Tea said.
"Don't let that flea scare you he's bluffing" Joey said.
The two duelists drew from their decks "really, then let's see how you handle this bluff?" Weevil said as he summoned Hercules Beetle (1500/2000).
Hercules Beetle: 1500+450= 1950/ 2000+600= 2600 (1950/2600)
"My Hercules Beetle will find a way to crawl under your skin" he said summoning the monster in the forest area.
'Ugh…. Even though I know about the field power bonus, it's too late to rebuild my deck now…. I should've listened to bro when he gave me those cards. I guess a combo attack would be my best bet' Yugi thought before making his move.
'He should've listened to me when I gave him those cards…. Looks like he'll have to wing it for now' the blonde in the tree thought.
"I play Feral Imp (1300/ 1400) and now I play Horn of the Unicorn so it's magic will raise my attack points" Yugi said as he activated his equip spell card and equipped it onto his Feral Imp. As the card was equipped, the horn on its head started to glow and grow and as it did, the monster became more feral like.
Feral Imp + Horn of the Unicorn: 1300+ 700=2000 (2000/1400)
Hee hee hee hee! You'll have to do a lot better than that! Hercules Beetle, Attack!" Weevil said ordering his beetle to attack.
"Feral Imp, Magic Lightning, Attack!" Yugi ordered.
Feral Imp launched an attack, but it didn't destroy Weevils monster, but Weevil's monster destroyed Yugi's Feral Imp.
"Yugi's attack didn't even faze that thing" Tea said shocked that Yugi's stronger monster did nothing to destroy its foe.
"Something's screwy!" Joe said.
"My Imp's magic lightning attack should've destroyed your beetle. Is this another trick, Weevil?" Yugi asked trying to figure out what just happened.
"No. Yugi. I just thought you knew that all monsters with a field power bonus were also resistant to any type of magic attack, and since my Hercules Beetle easily deflected your lightning bolts, he has more than enough power left to destroy your puny feral imp and continue to eat away at your life points" Weevil said as Yugi's life points dropped.
2000- 650= 1350
Yugi= 1350
Weevil= 2000
"Even that 4-eyed tick's weakest bugs are gonna be tough to beat so long as he's got that field power bonus" Joey said pissed that his friend now has to struggle against the walking tick magnet.
Naruto was pissed, but knew that this was Yugi's fight so he decided to let Yugi handle this.
"Yeah, but it's not like it can just be turned off" Tristan said.
"That Weevil's a no good cheat!" Tea said having to watch her love interest struggle against the cheating regional champion.
"It's your turn. Make your move" Weevil said waiting for Yugi to make his move.
'Maybe I should use my next monster to defend by putting my card in facedown defense mode, my monster will take a hit, but my life points will be spared' Yugi thought as he played his card in defense mode.
'Good Yugi, better play it safe until a strategy presents itself' Naruto thought.
"So, we're defending now, are we? Very clever! Since I can't see your monster's defense points, I can't be sure I can beat it. But even your strongest monster can't stand against my Basic Insect (500/700)" he said summoning a praying mantis based monster.
Basic Insect: 500+ 150= 650/ 700+210= 910 (650/910)
"Not only does he get a field power bonus, but I'm upgrading him with a Level 3 Laser cannon (AKA Laser Cannon Armor) and a Level 2 Power Boost" Weevil said as he equipped his monster with powerful equip spell cards.
'No! His insect's so powerful now, my defense won't stand a chance, and after it falls, and my life points are next!" Yugi thought in shock and fear of Weevil's armoured insect.
"Now, Yugi, for all the innocent little bugs you've squashed, stomped, crushed, or fumigated, it's… payback time!" Weevil said making the hidden Naruto think that Weevil may have a bug fetish or something which really creep him out.
Weevil's monster launched its attack destroying Yugi defending monster.
"Hee hee hee hee! You'll have to do better than that if you hope to survive my bug's laser-powered arsenal" Weevil said.
"Then I'll play this card" Yugi said playing another monster in defense mode.
'Hmm, another defense card, no doubt, and I'll make sure that defending is all he can do! Hee' Weevil thought.
"I'm going to keep you on the defensive. Attack now with any monster, and you'll simply active this trap card" Weevil said looking menacing as he played his trap card face down.
'What will you do know Yugi?' Naruto thought as he watched his brother be forced into a corner.
"That Weevil's got Yugi cornered!" Tristan said.
"Yeah he can't even counter attack!" Joey said.
"As long as my trap card remains in play, you're powerless to make a move against me! So, does my tightening web make you squirm?" he asked with a deranged look.
'He's so busy bragging, he's not paying attention to my moves. Maybe I can set a little trap of my own' Yugi thought as he laid a card in the spell/trap card zone.
"Face it, Yugi! I've got you pinned down, and while you're totally unable to attack me, I can attack you anytime I want! Each turn you cower, I create a new monster" Weevil said as he summoned another insect monster.
As turns pass, Weevil summoned more of his insect monsters, while Yugi drew cards hoping to get something.
"Keep drawing, Yugi. My army of insects just keeps getting bigger!" Weevil said as he summoned another insect. "I'm going to wipe out all of your monsters in one bug blitzkrieg!"
'That's right, Weevil. Put all your monsters on the field. That's exactly what I'm counting on' Yugi thought as his plan started to unfold.
"Just look at our Yugi. He's so confident up there" tea said.
"I know! When he's duelin', it's like he becomes a totally different guy…. Now that I think about it, when Naruto dueled Kaiba he became different and when he took off his eye patch…" Joey said remembering the duel with Naruto and Kaiba.
"Yeah now that I think about it, didn't he lose that eye in the accident that…?" Tea said before Joey cut her off.
"Shhh… we're not supposed to take about it remember" Joey said in a hush tone.
"Oh right sorry" Tea said in a low voice, but Naruto heard the conversation and put a hand on his eye patch, but went back to watching the duel.
"Hee hee hee! Well what do you know? I'm down to my last monstrous insect, and you know what that means, Yugi? You're about to be exterminated!" Weevil said as he summoned his supposed last monster.
"We'll see what my cards have to say about that!" Yugi said as he drew his next card.
Yugi then looked at the card and was excited 'Yes, the Dark Magician (2500/2100)!This is perfect! There's no way Weevil can resist him as a target' Yugi thought as he made his next move.
"All right, Weevil! I defend with the Dark Magician!" Yugi announced.
"Excellent! I'll destroy your very favorite card first! Now, my pet, power up your laser cannon!" Weevil ordered his basic insect as he targeted the Dark Magician.
"Hee hee hee! Attack!" he ordered.
Yugi then laughed.
"Wh-why are you laughing?" Weevil asked completely unnerved at Yugi's expression.
"Weevil, you're not the only one who can set a trap card" Yugi stated.
"WHAT?!" Weevil asked in shock.
"You were so busy grandstanding, you paid no attention to the cards I put into play" Yugi said.
"I-I thought they were all monster c-c-cards?" he questioned.
"Not all, when you loaded the field with your bug monsters, I laid a special surprise, the Mirror Force trap card" Yugi announced.
"HOLD YOUR FIRE!" Weevil said realizing the danger of said trap card, but it was too late.
"Too late Weevil, you already ordered your attack on my Dark Magician, and Mirror Force will deflect it right back at you!" Yugi said as Weevil's attack was reflected back to the attacker which destroyed all his monsters.
2000-1445=555
Yugi: 1350
Weevil: 555
"My life points are devastated!" Weevil said as he watched both his monsters and life points get cut down.
"Yes" Yugi said with a confident smirk.
'Way to play Yugi' Naruto thought with a grin on his face.
Yugi's friends cheered for his play against the insect duelist.
Weevil stared in shock 'he obliterated my army of beautiful bug. How dare he!' he thought as he glared at the multicolored hair boy.
"You're a liar and a cheat, Weevil, but it was your overconfidence that allowed me to get the best of you. Your insects are decimated. Your life points are low. And as you yourself said before, you've used up all of your monsters" Yugi said with the same confident smirk.
'I wouldn't count on that being an actual fact' Naruto though.
"Hee hee hee hee! Actual I lied about that too" he said regaining his confidence.
"Huh?!" Yugi said in surprise.
"I still have my most formidable creature waiting in the wings, and this unconquerable insect will swat you down once and for all!" Weevil announced.
