Supersonic11: -chokes Yami Bakura- ANYWAYS! I now present to you chapter four.
Chapter 4: Duel of Freedom
"Ah. So the American Duelist Games have begun I see." A manlier voice was heard on the phone. Shina sounded a bit surprised when she recognized whose voice it was.
"Pegasus J. Crawford! Is that really you?" She couldn't believe her ears that she was really speaking to the creator of duel monsters herself. The taller blonde walked over and took the phone from her lesser associate.
"Well, if it isn't the creator of duel monsters. What brings your services?" Vega had a stern look on her face and she didn't let anything that Pegasus said disturb her posture.
"I call to wish you good luck for the tournament. I will be expecting big things by time the finals come around." Pegasus sounded a cheery as usual and he didn't expect anything less. Then his voice lowered and became a bit more serious. "I will be watching you. I know Kaiba-boy and Yugi-boy will be participating, won't they?"
"Yugi is participating but I know not if Kaiba will. I assure you Mr. Pegasus, this tournament will go by just fine," A small grin appeared on her face but unbeknownst to Pegasus, things will continue to heat it.
"Have fun. Until we chat again Ms. Van Damm," And with that, Pegasus hangs up and folds his hands. He sighed to himself not liking what Van Damm could be planning. "It's been sometime since I lost my millennium eye, but I sense danger up ahead. Prepare yourselves, Yugi-boy, Kaiba-boy."
"So, any ideas to how we each get to our destinations?" Joey brought up a good question since now they have arrived at the Domino City Airport. Yugi and his friends each brought a bag with some clothing and necessities.
"I've looked at the invitation and it tells us which plane to get on. It says that each one is marked from A to J. See, look here," Yugi showed his invitation to Joey.
A – New York City
B – Philadelphia
C – Atlanta
D – Miami
E – Chicago
F – Dallas
G – Las Vegas
H – Los Angeles
I – Seattle
J – Hawaii
"Eh?! I have flight letter D. At least I got Miami! Woo hoo! It's summer in America and I can't wait to see the girls in the bikinis!" Drool falls out of Joey's mouth, followed by Tristian who was also dreaming. Tea cracks her knuckles and knocks both of the top of their heads.
"Will you two stop day dreaming! Sheesh…such perverts. And you Joey, you have to focus!" She yelled into his ear and he was irritated.
"Geez, I'm trying but it's so hard," Joey replied, couldn't help but daydream about being in America. Yugi bumped in on the conversation chaging the topic.
"Well, I have A. So I guess I'll be in New York huh? Well, good luck Joey and let's meet in the finals," Yugi nodded and Tea went along with him to their designated flight and so did Joey with Tristian following him to their designated flight.
All the duelists have boarded their designated plane. The planed took off at different times and Yugi's plane was already in the air crossing the Pacific. There were quite a bit of duelists on board, some of them preparing their decks. Yugi sighed. He was sitting next to Tea and she looked over to him and asked.
"Yugi, what's wrong?" Her eyes showed a bit of concern but Yugi shook his head and smiled.
"It's nothing, Tea. It's just that, with so many duelist, I know they're after me. Ever since I won Battle City, so many people are surrounding me," He sighed and he noticed a few figures were looking directly at him. "Remember the time when Anubis possessed Kaiba and force us into dueling each other? As long as I have the millennium puzzle, more and more enemies will try to take my millennium puzzle."
"Yeah, but you also have the millennium items Marik and Ishizu gave you after Battle City," Tea was very concerned for her little friend. She sighed and she looked at his millennium puzzle. "Don't forget we have to recover the spirit's memories. We have to do every and anything we can to help." Frowning, she looked away from Yugi's gaze but a small smile formed on Yugi's lips.
"Ever since Battle City, I've promised to help him. Don't worry Tea, we'll get the God cards back and recover the spirit's memories. That's a promise." Yugi gave the reassuring thumbs up and Tea sighed but a small smile appeared on his lips trusting Yugi's word.
Hours have passed, nearly over 20 hours passed until they reached the United States. Their plane left around 10pm and the plane finally made in New York City at JFK airport around 9pm. Yugi looked out of the window and seen the beautiful lights of Manhattan and looked over to Tea who was asleep.
"Tea! Wake up! We made it!" Yugi nudged Tea and her eyes slowly opened. She looked over to where Yugi was looking and she noticed the lights.
"Wow! This is like, a dream come true." She stared in awe until the flight attendant told them that they have reached their destination. They took all of their belongings and walked out of the airport. Yugi took out the guidebook that was given to all the duelists in the tournament to find where the gyms were located.
"Alright then, the first gym is located at the statue of liberty. Alright…so how do we get there?" Confused, Yugi scratched his head looking at the guidebook. As they were walking to the outside exit he noticed a subway map. The subway map displayed all the routes of all the subway lines
"Well, it seems we have to take this subway stop to this one I guess," Tea pointed out on the map. Both were confused but it seems like it was decided that they had to take the subway.
An hour several minutes later they arrived at the Ground Zero site. Walking past the site, they were heading towards the Statue of Liberty's direction. They reached the harbor and took the ferry to cross the Hudson to Liberty Island.
"Wow, I can't believe it! New York City! I mean we're actually in New York City. And we're going to see the Statue of Liberty. This must be the coolest thing ever."
Tea was in awe as she stared at the statue and they over to Manhattan Island and she thought to herself. 'This is where all my dreams will come true. I hope I get to come back again,'
"I wonder if the leader is here. The guidebook says the gym is located within the Statue of Liberty. It's odd that I don't see a gym around here." Yugi looked to the American Duelist guidebook trying to find the gym's location in which didn't make any sense to him. He sighed as their boat arrived at their location. There wasn't too many people on the island but now was the time to ask around. He seen a security guard walking around the island and he asked, "Excuse me, do you know where the duelist leader is?"
"Ah, you must be a participant in the duelist games. I don't think he is here. He might be in Time Square. It's where he usually hangs around at night. His name is Benjamin Banner. He always wears this patriotic cape around his neck like he's a super hero or something," the security guard sighed and he gave them a reassuring smile.
"Um…thank you for helping us." Yugi bowed and Tea followed afterward. Both of them headed back to the fairy seeing as the leader was not around.
About another hour has passed, and it was midnight. Yugi and Tea were back on the Manhattan streets and were now heading in the direction of Time Square.
"Let's find a hotel to stay for tonight. It's getting quite late." Yugi yawned and then Anzu noticed the bright lights and the amount of advertising going around. They out of the distance a teenage boy with a patriotic cape around his neck. He had on jeans and black shirt with a Superman's "S" in silver. He had spikey brown hair and brown eyes. He had on a duel disk on his left arm and he gasped in surprise.
"Can it be? Do I see the legendary duelist in front of my eyes?!" He ran over as fast as he can and he'd taken Yugi by surprise being very close to him. He noted the duel disk on Yugi's arm seeing he was competing too. "You're him! Yugi Mouto from Domino City! The world's number one duelist! What bring you here?!" He shook Yugi's hand wildly and Yugi was more frightened than ever but this is his opponent.
"Um…yeah. I guess. Anyways, are you Benjamin Banner?" Yugi stared to his opponent and his opponent was dramatically surprised.
"Oh my god! I seriously forgot to introduce myself," Ben scratched his head and then he got into a pose serious pose. "I am the deliverer of justice. The one who rids the earth of evil! I am Benjamin Banner, the super hero of the world!" He stood tall and pointed towards the sky in a pose and Yugi and Tea weren't paying attention. Instead, they were whispering to each other.
"I think Americans watch too many of those 'American Cartoons'," Tea pointed out as she whispered to Yugi. Yugi agreed ever more frightened.
"Um…yeah. But he is the leader, so I have no choice but to go through with this," He sighed until he was interrupted by Ben.
"Hey! Don't ignore me! I know you came here for a duel. And I will duel you Yugi. Before we begin there are a few rules," Ben turned on his duel disk and loaded his deck inside. He folded his arms and continued explaining. "First, the challenger has the right to choose who goes first. Second, we will start out with 8000 life points but you duel disk does not have that memory installed. So, use this card to install it. It goes into the field spell zone of your duel disk. Finally, if you manage to defeat me, I will give you this badge and a rare card. Lose…well; you have to give up a rare card. Got it?"
"Yeah. I understand." Yugi walked over and took the card from Ben and turned his duel disk on. He put the card in the field card zone of his duel disk and the life point counter lit up to 8000 instead of 4000.
"Oh yeah, normally were would have to do battle in the gym but I'll make an exception here. So, are you ready?" Ben smirked and drew his first 5 cards and Yugi did the same.
"I'm ready!" Yugi walked over on the opposite side of Ben. Some people were still walking about at this time and they noticed a duel going on in Time Square. The ABC news station on the side noticed the duel going on the put it on the big camera on the big screen TV that was behind Ben.
"DUEL!"
Yugi Mouto – 8000
CIH (cards in hand. For those who don't know) – 5
Ben Banner – 8000
CIH – 5
"I'll go first! Draw!" Yugi drew his first card and he played it on the monster slot of his duel disk. "I summon Queen's Knight in attack mode! (L:4 1500/1600) My turn ends!"
"My turn! Draw!" Ben drew his first card and a grin appeared on his face. "Alright. I summon Element Hero Sparkman in attack mode. (L: 4 1600/1400) Attack Queen's Knight with Spark Flash!" A human like figure appears wearing a metallic armor all over his body. He has orbs of light on his arms and shoulders that produced electricity throughout his body. Putting his hands together he created an orb of electricity and shot it towards the female knight trying to defend with her shield. Her shield failed and she was shocked with volts of electricity throughout her body, screaming in pain. She fell over and disappeared from the field.
Yugi Mouto – 7900

"Element Hero? I never heard of cards like those," Puzzle, Yugi looked at the new monster skeptically. He didn't know what to make of this situation but he had to do his best.
"Come on Yugi! You can do it!" Tea cheered on loudly and the crowd was whispering amongst each other.
"Is that the legendary world champion Yugi Mouto? In person?!" A kid whispers to another and it continues but the older generation didn't seem to know what was going on.
"What is going on this late? Isn't there a curfew for you punk kids?" An older man spoke who seemed to be a businessman. One of the kids responded the man's dispute.
"This is an official duel monsters game! And that's Yugi Mouto, World Duel Monsters Champion! You adults know nothing about him!" The kid retorted and he kept watching the duel.
"Be careful Yugi, you know this won't be an ordinary game," the spirit appeared in astro form next to his counterpart observing the game.
'I know. I haven't seen this type of deck before," he sighed and he kept concentration on the duel.
"I set two magic/trap cards faced down. My turn is over." Ben inserted two cards into the magic/trap card zone of his duel disk and signaled the end of his turn.
"It's my turn! Draw!" Yugi added the new card he drew to his hand. He smiled as he was ready to make his move. "I summon Skilled Dark Magician! (L: 4 1900/1700) Then I play the equipment magic card Magic Formula! It will raise my magician's attack points by 500 (2400/1700)," A spell caster appeared in dark clothing and he had three dark orbs on his upper body armor. One of them shined as a magical book appeared in front of his and he skimmed through the pages learning new spells. "Attack Skilled Dark Magician, Burning Dark Magic!" The magician pointed his staffed and fired a black energy sphere towards Sparkman. He tried to escape the blast but it was too late as he was hit and his whole body was burning until he fell.
Yugi Mouto – 7900
CIH – 4
Ben Banner – 7200
CIH – 3
"I activate my trap card! Hero Signal!" Ben pushed a button on his duel disk and one of his faced down cards raised up and it materialized. There was a light that was pointed in the sky and it had the letter "H". "If a monster is destroyed by battle, Hero Signal allows me to special summon one Element Hero monster whose level is 4 or lower from my deck or hand. I will special summon from my deck," Ben removed his deck from his duel disk and placed it on his field. "I choose to summon Element Hero Clayman in defense mode. (800/2000)." A warrior whose body is made of rock hard clay appeared to the field kneeling down and crossing his arms defending.
"Before I end my turn, I set one magic/trap card faced down. Turn end!" Yugi placed the card in the magic/trap zone and waited patiently for his opponent.
"Alright now! I draw! I play Cost Down. I discard one card from my hand to decrease the levels of all monsters in my hand by two levels so I can summon this!" Ben selected a card from his hand, which was his Element Hero Featherman to the graveyard slot of his duel disk. He placed the monster on the field after discarding the card, leaving him with one card in his hand left. "Come! Elemental Hero Neos! (L: 7 2500/2000)" A alien monster descended from the skies and struck down. He was very masculine and had huge muscles. He was ready to take on anything. "Neos! Attack his Skilled Dark Magician!" The bulky alien took off in the skies flexing his biceps and the diving down to take the magician down in one blow until…
"I activate my Magic Cylinders! It negates your attack and it cause direct damage equal to the attack of your monster!" After pushing the button on his duel disk, Yugi smiled and watched as two cylinders with a question mark on them sucked Neos in before reaching his monster. Then the other cylinder ejected Neos and his attack struck Ben in the chest and knocked him down.

"Geez…your no pushover," Ben staggered to his feet but he had a confident smile. "Before my turn ends, I activate my Skyscraper field magic card!" Ben opened the field zone of his duel disk and placed the card inside. The holograms did their job and more building started appearing before them. A taller building, then spawned, which was taller than the Empire State Building, spawned behind Ben. "Turn end."
"It's my turn! Draw!" Yugi drew his card and smiled as all three orbs of light on the magician lit up brightly. "Since three magic cards have been activated, my magician now has three spell counters. It's effect allows me to sacrifice my magician when it has three spell counters on it, to special summon my Dark Magician (L: 7 2500/2100) from my deck or hand to the field!" The magician obliged to the sacrifice disappearing as the dark lights over took him and then reappearing was the dark magician. "Next, I'll activate my Offerings to the Doom to destroy your Neos!" As soon as the card was played, a portal to the underworld opened underneathe Neos and the chains grabbed hold of him. He tried to resist but to no avail, the chains pulled him underneath. "Now, I'll summon my Obnoxious Celtic Guardian in attack mode! (L: 4 1400/1000) Now, both of my monsters attack directly!"
Both monster did as they were told and the Dark Magician pointed his staff at Ben and sent a shockwave a dark energy as Ben and the teen feel to one knee as his life points reduced to 2200. Then Celtic Guardian rushed in with his broad sword and jumped in the air the slashed at Ben. His life points drops even lower until the numbers were flashing red.

"Before my turn ends, I will set one magic/trap card faced down," After doing so, Yugi signaled the end of his turn.
"Oh man! No wonder why they call you 'Duel King'. It's my turn, draw!" Ben smiled. Seeming that he drew the card he needed. "First I play the magic card Card of Demise. Since I have no cards in my hand, I can draw five new cards. But, in five turns, I must discard all cards in my hand to the graveyard," Ben looked in his hand and played another card in the magic/trap zone of his duel disk and discarded two other cards. "I play Polymerization! I fuse together my Element Hero Featherman and Element Hero Burst Lady to summon Element Hero Flame Wingman!" (L: 6 2100/1200)
The two monsters, one was a human/bird hybrid without a beak and a woman who had red over body and long raven hair flew to the sky and disappeared. The skys roared with thunder and lightning and soon, the new monster appeared at the top of the taller building folding his arms. It had a green masculine body with the exception of having a red dragon for an arm on its right arm and a dragon tail. Also, it had a white-feathered wing on the left side of its back. It flew all the way down at great speed to Ben's side of the field.
"I'm not done yet Yugi. I summon Element Hero Stratos (L: 4 1800/300) in attack mode!" Another hero monster appear and his body was all blue and upper armor. It had wind turbines attacked to his back allowing him to fly at high speeds. "When my monster is normally summoned successfully I can activate two of its effects. One allows me to destroy magic or traps depending on the number of Element Hero or Destiny Heros on the field. Stratos is excluded from the count. The other allows me to add an Element Hero or Destiny hero from my deck to my hand. So, I activate the first effect since I have my Element Hero Flame Wingman on the field. Activate!" Ben pointed to Yugi's faced down card and Stratos flew high in the air and came down and a high speed to destroy Yugi's faced down Mirror Force. "Now that's out of the way, Flame Wingman, attack Dark Magician!"
"Wait a minute! My Dark Magician would destroy your Flame Wingman," Yugi shouted but at the same time, he was confused about his opponent's tactics and Ben grinned.
"You forgot my Skyscraper field card? As long as the monster has Element Hero in its name and its attack points are lower than your monster's, it gains 1000 attack points during the damage step. So, I believe you're the one losing life points," Ben signaled for the attack of his monster and Flame Wingman aimed the mouth of his dragon arm towards the Dark Magician and fire a blast of flames. The flames engulfed the magician quickly and then targeted Yugi. The flames over took Yugi's body and the lift point count decreased more after deducting the damage.
Yugi Mouto – 4800

Ben Banner – 800
CIH – 1
"What the? I lost more life points? But how?" Yugi was even more confused at the whole situation.
"That's my Flame Wingman's effect. Whenever it successfully destroys a monster as a result of battle, it will inflict damage equal to the attack points of your monster," Ben's grin widened and then declared for his other monster to attack. "Stratos! Attack Celtic Guardian!" Stratos flew over to the warrior elf and threw and strong punch the warrior's face and he fell to the ground and shattered.
Yugi Mouto – 4400

'This duelist has a strong deck. I've never seen anything like it,' the spirit said amazed and kept observing the duel. Yugi ignored the comment and kept focus on the duel.
"Come on Yugi! You can beat this 'Superhero Boy'!" Tea cheered Yugi on and she was worried for him that he was in a predicament. Then, Tea noticed out of the corner of her eye that there was a cameraman and a female reporter talking into a microphone.
"We're here live in Manhattan watching a duel monster game involving two great duelists. One of the duelists is the legendary duel king, Yugi Mouto of Domino City. He was the winner of the Duelist Kingdom and Battle City tournaments. Also, he is known to be the duelist with the infamous 'Egyptian God Cards'. We're here today watching an official American Duelist Games duel. Does Yugi have what it takes to win or will the Americans prevail?" The reporter glanced over at the duel and she seemed to have interest in Yugi as she stared at him. Tea watched the reporter carefully, disliking the glance of the reporter.
"Before I end my turn, I play the quick-play magic card Emergency Provisions. I can send magic or trap cards to the graveyard to increase my life points by 1000. I still have a faced down card from the first turn Yugi, but its useless now. I'll destroy it to increase my life points," Ben removed the card from his magic/trap zone and sent it to the graveyard slot of his duel disk. "Turn end!"
Yugi Mouto – 4400

"My turn! Draw!" Yugi drew a card and he was displeased at what he drew but he had to make due with it. "I set one monster faced down defense mode and end my turn."
"Yes! I get the pleasure of defeating the legendary duelist! Now Flame Wingman, attack his faced down monster!" After Ben drew his card he declared his monster to attack. Flame Wingman shot another wave of flames and it was sent to the faced down monster, revealing it to be the Mystic Elf (L: 3 800/2000). She was engulfed in the flames quickly and she was no longer there. "Now Stratos, attack Yugi directly!" Stratos flew towards Yugi and gave him a blow to the gut. The wave of the hit sent feedback on Yugi's body as he was knocked down.
Yugi Mouto – 2600

"Geez…this isn't good…" Yugi staggered to his feet and remained poised and ready for anything.
"Alright now! My turn is over. This may be your last turn Yugi. Better not disappoint me," Ben was having too much fun and he had a big smile on his face feeling the excitement of the game.
"I draw! I play the equipment magic card Premature Burial! I sacrifice 800 life points to special summon my Dark Magician from the graveyard." A dark portal opened beneath the ground and the Dark Magician shot out and he was quite angry from being beaten. "Next, I play the magic card Dark Magic Attack!"
"Isn't that your magician's attack? I never heard of that card," Ben interrupted and he had a confused expression and Yugi responded with a smile.
"Simple, as long as I have my Dark Magician, it destroys all magic and trap cards on the field. More importantly your Skyscraper!" The magician pointed his staff in the air and his staff was producing dark waves an energy continuous shot through the city, destroying the holographic skyscrapers that covered the surrounding city.
"As expected from the 'Duel King'! I like it! I like it!" Ben kept watching Yugi's move and Yugi continued.
"It's still my turn, and now I move onto the attack. Dark Magician, attack Stratos with Dark Magic!" Dark Magician then pointed his staff at Stratos and fires a dark energy blast towards Stratos and he was struck in the chest and shattered.
Yugi Mouto – 1800

"My turn ends." Yugi signaled for the end of his turn and his opponent drew his card starting his.
"Alright Yugi. No holding back! It's my turn! I play my Premature Burial to revive Element Hero Neos!" Ben's life points reduced to 300 and then the masculine alien monster reappeared to the field ready for battle. "Both of our monsters have equal attack points now. It all comes down to tactics. I set one magic/trap card faced down. Turn end!"
Yugi Mouto – 1800

Ben Banner – 300
CIH – 0
"It's my turn! Draw! I play Card of Sanctity! It allows us to draw until we have exactly 6 cards in our hands," after playing the card, both of them drew six cards. Yugi smiled as if he had the winning strategy. "First I play one magic/trap cards faced down. Next, I'll activate my Rush Recklessly spell card. I increase my magician's attack points by 700 until the end of my turn. Dark Magician, attack!" The magician did as he was told and launched another dark sphere towards Neos.
"I activate my trap card, Justice for All! For each monster with Element Hero in its name, I can increase a monster on my side of the field with Element Hero in its name by 100 attack points. That makes eight Element Hero monsters in my graveyard. Just enough to destroy your Dark Magician!" Neos dodged the attack and his body glowed feeling the power of his comrades aiding him. He rushed towards the magician and punched in very hard and he was launched several feet away and disappeared from the field.
Yugi Mouto – 1700

CIH – 6
Yugi sighed but he was still confident in his next move. "My turn is over," Yugi prepared himself for the worst of Ben's attack.
"Now it's my turn! Look out because the 'Duel King' is going to be dethroned!" Ben smiled happily drawing his card.
"Oh no. Yugi…" Tea frowned as she watched her friend stand there having to witness a huge upset.
"We are just witnessing the defeat of the great 'Duel King' Yugi Mouto. It seems like he will lose in front of a live audience. Is this it for the 'Duel King'?" The female reporter just kept watching in suspense and the cameraman angled to Ben who was about to make his final move.
"Now, I summon Element Hero Wildheart in attack mode (L: 4 1500/1600)." A muscular male appear who had various tattoos on his body. His body was tan as if he's been in the jungle. He had a sword that was made from a fang of a great beast and it was huge but he could handle it. "Oh, and Wildheart is not affected by any of your trap cards. Whatever your faced down card is, it won't work against my Wildheart."
"That maybe but my faced down card will affect your Neos! Activate Compulsory Evacuation Device! I return your Neos back to your hand now!" Yugi declared as a cannon appeared and sucked Neos inside. Then it fired Neos to the skies and space and he disappeared. Ben growled and he took the card from his duel disk and back to his hand.
"I still have my Wildheart to attack your life points directly!" Ben declared and the warrior unsheathed his sword and slashed at Yugi. He winced at the pain but he remained calm. His life dropped and the numbers on the duel disk turned red.
Yugi Mouto – 200
CIH – 4
Ben Banner – 300
CIH – 7
"Now, victory will be mine next turn. I'll set 3 magic/trap cards faced down and end my turn," Ben grinned knowing that he had a sure proof plan to beat Yugi and he drew his card.
"It's time to end this! I play Heavy Storm to destroy all magic/trap cards on the field," a huge gust storm swarmed and blew away all of Ben's faced down cards leaving him with just his Wildheart.
"Damn! This isn't good…" Ben panicked a little knowing that Yugi's wasn't finidhed yet.
"Next, I summon Magnet Warrior Beta (L: 4 1700/1600)!" Yugi placed the monster on his duel disk and it materialized into a robotic like monster with a magnet for a head and magnet arms. "Next, I play the equipment spell Horn of the Unicorn, increasing my monster's attack my 700 points. More than enough to wipe out your life points! Attack Beta!" A golden horn appeared on the monster's head and gave off an electric current. It used the electric current and sent over an electric blast to Wildheart as he was shocked severely and fell over. Ben's life points drop to 0 after the attack.
"Oh no! I've been defeated…looks like it's back to the drawing board," Ben frowned but the he smiled enjoying his time. "I had a lot of fun," Ben extended out his hand for a handshake from Yugi.
"Yeah. So did I." Yugi smiled and shook his opponent's hand in a friendly manner. The both of them laughed and Tea walked up to him with a smile.
"That was great duel you guys. I'm proud of you Yugi," Tea looked to her smaller companion and he rubbed the back of his head.
"Having fun is all that matters," Yugi nodded and Tea and Ben nodded in agreement and then Ben reached into his pocket and gave Yugi an item and a card.
"Ah, here Yugi. My Freedom Badge and my Neos card. You're gonna need those if your gonna come out a winner," He gave Yugi a thumbs up after Yugi accepted the badge and card. Then, the female reporter barged in on the conversation and pointed the microphone to Yugi.
"Yugi Mouto, how does it feel winning against the first leader of the American Duelist Games? Was it easy? Did you struggle?" She asked a serious of questions and continued on before Ben interrupted and took Yugi and Tea by the hand.
"If you follow me to my place, we'll escape these reporters," The trio ran quickly to the nearest subway to leave the reporters in the dust.
Out from a top of the one of the buildings, the Phantom Renegade smirked underneath the mask. He was spying on Yugi and his duel through binoculars. "Good job on passing the first test Yugi. The rest won't be easy…" He laughed a little and he disappeared suddenly before anyone found him.
"Damn! Why the hell are we losing sales?" Seto Kaiba yelled as he was in his office in the dark looking at his sales on the computer. "Someone is buying our shares and they're having a good success at it. If this keeps up, then Kaiba Corp will fall. Shit…" He sighed and he sat back in his chair. He looked at the Obelisk card on his desk and sighed. Little does Kaiba know that someone in the distance is watching him through a window.
"Target sighted. Now to move in for the kill," the boy grinned as he was in another building noticing Kaiba on his computer. "I'll make sure obtain the Blue Eyes White Dragons and Obelisk the Tormentor."
