Once Upon A Hack
Chapter 6
By Casianna
One day, two and a half weeks after the domino gang had left Calgary, The girls were watching the news when a tournament was announced.
...'A duel monsters tournament will held in Domino Japan early next month. Yugi Mouto, The King of Games, Is expected to be in attendance as well as other big names in the dueling curcuit. Of course the pressance of the King of games is bound to bring an appearance of none other than Seto Kaiba, former champion. This tournament should turn out to be a battle of duel monsters finest.'...
The tv droned on with some more unimportant details about other top duelests expected to attend but the girls had already ran to find their parents, whom happened to be bbqing in the backyard, and get permission to attend their first tournament.
Three weeks later. The girls were hugging their parents good bye and getting ready to bored their plane to Domino. They had decieded not to tell Yugi or anyone else that they were comeing for the tournament and suprise them instead.
When the day of the tournament arrived the girls were nervous. They had pre-registered and recieved their duel disks. They had practiced against each other for the past three days and had worked out several different stratagies. They walked to where the duelists were to meet and began searching for Yugi and his friends. Soon they spotted them standing by a fountain. They rushed over, supriseing them.
"Hey guys!" Rae greeted.
"Hey! We are so glad you made it." Tristan said.
"When we didnt hear from you we thought that you couldnt make it..." Yugi said.
"Nah, we wouldnt miss this for the world." Ashley said with a smile.
They all sat near the fountain, chatting for several minutes waiting for the tournament to begin. They were all in the midst of a discussion on the previous large tournament when a large shadow moved over the group. They all looked up and saw a huge blimp floating above them...with Kaiba's face on it. Then the giant Kaiba face began talking...about HIS tournament...
"His tournament?" Ashley said. "Well forget that, Im outta here!" She said and turned to leave.
"Your just gonna leave because its his tournament?" Rae asked.
"Yeah."
"Well, why dont you stay and just beat him at his own tournament?" Rae suggested.
Ashley smirked, 'What a great idea!' she thought. She now stayed with a new goal. Beat Seto Kaiba at all costs.
((this next part is going to be a fast forward... Im not good at typing duels... and well im sure everyone reading this fic are for the most part aware of the events of Kaibas tournament, and who the 8 finalists were. The only thing im changing is the amount of finalists from 8 to 10, just to bring Ashley and Rae onto the blimp as well...))
Ashley easily dueled her way to the finals, as did Rae. Soon they were on the blimp and waiting for the finals to start. Ashley looked around at the five finalists on board. There was Yugi and Joey, Mai and 'Namu'... yes Ashley knew who Namu was, and had almost let it slip, but he had stopped her... What was he up to? She wondered. Apart from Those four, Rae and Ashley made six, so who were the other four?
Soon after that Bakura came aboard... then a woman named Isis, and a man named Odeon, after that malik made himself scarce. He and Bakura were acting strangely. They had seemed nicer in Calgary, but now they were twitchy... and odd.
The last finalist was Seto of course, Who would expect him to host a tournament and not make it to the finals. Apart from the finalists there were guests aboard as well. Kaiba had a full security regiment present, Then there was Serenity and Tristan, Loyal members of Yugi's fan club. And Tea as well.
Soon the blimp took off and the finals were underway. Ashley and Rae lost in the first round, Ashley lost to Seto and Rae lost to Yugi. As the finals progressed weird things began to happen... and Ashley was sure that Malik and Bakura were behind them. Or at least that is how it seemed. What were these shadow games that everyone kept talking about... then the girls found out... and they seemed to be the only ones who didnt know anything about them. Yugi and his friends tried filling them in. And the more they learned the more they decided that they should quit duel monsters.
Ashley was also haveing many doubts about Malik... or Marik and he had started calling himself... His entire style had changed and he seemed to have a split personality issue. Finally Marik and Yugi, whom the girls now knew had a second personality as well that was known as Yami, faced off. Marik kept calling him pharoh and that confused the girls even more. The duel came to an end and marik was vanquished... and Yami was victorious... Malik was free from his angery side... Talk about schizofrenia...
Ashley wasnt sure what to think about that one anymore... She was near to giving up on men completely...
Then it was time for the battle everyone was waiting for... Yugi verses Seto. After a long match Yugi emerged victorious defeating Kaiba in the end. It was close, as the duels always were between those two. Ashley breathed a sigh of relief that it was all over... she wasnt sure how friendship with this bunch was going to be after this point... after all they went through everything that happened at battle city as if it was another normal tournament, complete with evil villians... and supernatural phenomenon. If this was ordinary, Ashley would hate to see an unordinary day...
((like i said... not a full accounting of the events but im not much for typing duels. lol well tell me what you think...))
