A/N: I'm sorry! I haven't updated in forever! But I've had writer's block so I guess I was just putting it off. Thanks for reviewing Red Eyes Soldi3r! I hope you continue to review to my story. Finally, it's time for the World Championships to begin! Setoglomper you didn't miss anything. I didn't explain that last chapter. It will be explained this chapter.

Disclaimer: Let's just get down to the point all right? I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! or Yu-Gi-Oh! GX. Does anybody know when season 2 of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX will be air in America?

"Here we are!" Joey shouted. "I'm gonna win!"

"Yeah, and then pigs will be flying by flapping beaks that they inherited from birds." Kaiba replied.

"Ha ha ha." Joey grumbled in response.

They all walked and reached the stadium. To their suprise they saw all the other eleven finalists as well as Roland. Then Roland made an announcement.

"Due to some extreme harsh problems, Industrial Illusions is unable to sponser the remainder of this tournament. And we Kaiba Corp have agreed to fill in and do the rest of the World Championships." Roland then looked at Kaiba. Kaiba nodded in return.

"Now the duels are broadcasted World Wide." Roland continued. "Which gives you all a chance to make a name for yourself. Now since everybody is here, I will introduce all the sixteen finalists! Duelists, get ready for the rest of this tournament!"

"All right!" Jaden shouted. "Everyone get your game on!"

"Now, our participants." Roland began. "Vivian Wong, the asian champ. Next is Maximillion Pegasus the creator of this game! Third is Ishizu Ishtar, as an oversear of Egyptian Exhibits! Fourth, is Rebecca Hawkins the Child Genious! Next is Leapin' Leon Wilson!(A/N: I've decided to use this name instead of Van Schroeder. Sorry!) Who had won the sixteen man competition at the KC Grand Championship. However, he did not win the tournament. But watch out for him! Sixth is Marik Ishtar, and next is Odion Ishtar!"

"So they're in it too." Tea said.

"Hello!" Marik said waving to them. Yugi, Tea, and Joey all waved back.

"Excuse me." Roland said. "Now as I was saying, the eighth competiter is Andler Gelfand! Next up is Cahill Badger! Our tenth competiter happens to be Balfrey Ginger, who also competed in the KC Grand Championship. Next up is Keith Howard, also known as Bandit Keith! The twelfth finalist is a man who hasn't participated in any major tournaments but nevertheless a strong duelist. Give it up for Rafael!"

"Rafael!" Yugi shouted.

"Pharaoh!" Rafael said back.

"Not exactly." Joey explained. "The pharaoh went to the afterlife. You're talking to Yugi and us."

"Well, it's nice to finally get to meet." Rafael said.

"This is all nice, but I'm trying to finish this thing up." Roland said impatiently.

"Sorry." Yugi said. "Go on."

"The next finalist happens to be a student from Duel Academy. His name is Jaden Yuki!" Roland announced. "And our final three finalists are the current three who have participated in major tournaments and are currently the most well-known. Give it up for Jumpin' Joey Wheeler! Mr. Seto Kaiba president of Kaiba Corporation and an excellent duelist! And finally the last finalist, is our current World Champion! Yugi Muto!"

"Hmm..." Jaden said. "So this is what the competition is."

"Yeah, I'm gonna win!" Leon said.

"Now everybody." Roland said. "It's time for the first duel to begin! The duelists are chosen completely at random and we will not show you your next opponent until you duel. So in other words, you cannot prepare your decks. Now the first two duelists are..." In the first square Balfrey Ginger appeared. Then in the second square, Seto Kaiba appeared.

"There we go!" Roland said. "Our first duel of the World Championships are between Balfrey Ginger and Mr. Kaiba!"

Around the world, fans were going wild. Kaiba calmly stepped to one side of the platform and Balfrey Ginger stepped onto the other side.

"Begin the duel!" Roland announced.

(A/N: I don't know any cards in Balfrey Ginger's deck so I will completely make up his deck.)

"LET'S DUEL!" the popular phrase was yelled out and the game began.

"I'll go first." Kaiba said. "I'll summon Vorse Raider(1900/1200) in attack mode and then I'll place two cards facedown. Make your move."

"All right." Balfrey said. "I activate the magic card Heavy Storm! This card destroys every magic and trap on the field!"

"No!" Kaiba shouted as the storm blew away his two facedown cards."

"Now, I summon my Dark Elf(2000/800) in attack mode." Balfrey said. "And then I activate the magic card Masked Doll. Which means I no longer have to pay the cost for magic, trap, and monster effects. Which means I don't have to give up 1000 life points to attack with my Dark Elf. Now Dark Elf, attack his Vorse Raider!"

Balfrey: 4000 / Kaiba: 3900

"That's enough for now." Balfrey said.

"You can do it Seto!" Mokuba yelled.

"Take this!" Kaiba announced. "I'll place two more cards facedown and then I'll summon Y-Dragon Head(1500/1600) in defense mode."

"My turn." Balfrey said. "I summon Rapid-Fire Magician(1600/1200) in attack mode! Now Dark Elf. Destroy his Y-Dragon Head!"

"I activate my facedown card!" Kaiba shouted. "Ring of Destruction! And I'll also activate this magic card! Ring of Defense. Now your Dark Elf will be destroyed and then you'll lose 2000 life points!" The Ring was placed around Dark Elf. Then it blew up and Dark Elf was destroyed and Balfrey was thrown back.

Kaiba: 3900 / Balfrey: 2000

"I'll end my turn." Balfrey said disdainfully.

"It's my move!" Kaiba shouted. "I activate the magic card Cost Down! Now I can reduce the level of a monster in my hand by two stars. And I choose my Blue E yes White Dragon(3000/2500)! Now I'll sacrifice my Y-Dragon Head so I can summon my Blue Eyes White Dragon!"

"Oh crap." Balfrey muttered under his breath.

"Now Blue Eyes White Dragon destroy his Rapid Fire Magician with White Lightning!" Kaiba ordered. Blue Eyes's attack ripped through the mage and destroyed it.

Kaiba: 3900 / Balfrey: 600

"This duel's over." Kaiba said. "Make your final move. You're no good at all. I'm suprised you made it to the top four in the KC Grand Championship. It was probably just luck."

"It's not over." Balfrey said. "I summon the Unhappy Maiden(0/100) in attack mode!"

"Is he out of his mind?" Joey asked. "He's gonna get creamed!"

"That's your big move?" Kaiba asked laughing. "You really disapoint me."

"I'm not done." Balfrey said. "I activate the magic card Creature Swap!"

"Oh no!" Kaiba shouted.

"Yes." Balfrey smiled. "Creature Swap allows each of us to take one monster from the other player's side. But since we each only have one monster. We switch monsters!"

"I must say I'm impressed." Andler Gelfand noted to Cahill Badger.

"Perhaps he would be interested in this." Badger said back.

"If he wins, we'll make the offer." Gelfand said and they went back to watch the duel.

"Now Blue Eyes White Dragon! Destroy his Unhappy Maiden!" Balfrey shouted. "I've always wanted to do this. White Lightning!" The blast destroyed the maiden and sent Kaiba backwards. Kaiba: 900 / Balfrey: 600

"It's over Kaiba." Balfrey said.

"He's in a real tough spot." Yugi said. "Unless he does something now, he's finished." Kaiba drew his next card, and then the smile that he lost when he lost control of his dragon, returned.

"I activate the magic card Pot of Greed!" Kaiba said with renewed hope. "This allows me to draw two cards from my deck."

"Draw what you want." Balfrey sneered back.

"He's gone batty." Syrus said. Alexis and Jaden gave him a funny look.

"First I'll place this card facedown. Then I'll activate the magic card White Dragon Ritual!" Kaiba said. "Now by discarding my Battle Ox, I can summon Paladin of White Dragon(1900/1200)!"

"So?" Balfrey asked obviously not impressed.

"Well now I can activate it's special ability. I can trade him in for a Blue Eyes White Dragon!" Kaiba shouted. "Then I activate the Fang of Critias!"

"No way!" Bandit Keith roared. Yugi and Joey were also shocked.

"Now I shall merge it with my facedown Tyrant Wing trap card!" Kaiba said. "And then I'll combine it with my Blue Eyes! This lets me form Tyrant Wing Dragon(3400/2900)!"

"This can't be!" Balfrey shouted.

"This is the end!" Kaiba shouted. "Blue Eyes Tyrant Dragon wipe out the rest of his life points!" Blue Eyes Tyrant Dragon roared back and blasted Balfrey's dragon and hit him hard. Kaiba: 900 / Balfrey: 0

"And the winner is Mr. Seto Kaiba!" Roland announced. "And that was the first duel of this year's World Championships! But who will duel next? Let's find out!" The two squares began spinning to determine the next two duelists.

A/N: I know that this was the shortest chapter by far. And the Kaiba / Balfrey duel really sucked. But Kaiba's actually a lot better than I give him credit for, and I figured that he should have an easy duel for a change. Anyway, please review. If you don't like this chapter I understand. This may be the last chapter that I will write for a little while, but hopefully not. I may have gotten myself a summer job, but I won't know until tomorrow. Wish me luck. PLEASE REVIEW!
