What would you do if you got the chance to go to the Yu-Gi-Oh world but... your all grown up now, would you still want to go there in a life and death situation? (AN: The summary sucks but the story is good!)

May's (ME) Pov
*Bang* *Bang*
"Ugh... " I groaned out as I looked at the clock on my bed side table, " Who the hell wakes up at 7:00 in the morning! It isn't even a school day!"
Once I got my thoughts in place I noticed that there was a warm lump curled up beside me. 'She slept in my bed again...' I thought, while trying to unwrap Maria's arms, which were hugging my waist like she won't ever see me again.
*Bang* *Bang*
"Shut the hell up!" Maria and I screamed at the same time, " Some people are actually human!" I heard a murmur come from the other side of the door and deduced straight away that it's probably Leo... Since Lea enters through windows and not doors. 'Lea would make a good couple with Bakura.' I thought, while laying back down and put my arm over my eyes.
"TIME TO GET UP!" Leo shouted right in front of my face. All I did was grind my teeth together to stop my self from literally killing her with my own bare hands. "GET UP!" 'That does it!' I mentally shouted. I sat straight up, letting my arms drop to my side, and started glaring at Leo, you could practically see the dark aura surrounding me. Suddenly Leo started backing away...
"Get out!" I said in a commanding voice. After I said that... She left my room straight away.
"It seems very hard to keep up your façade." Maria said, causing me to turn my head to face her, she was sitting up and staring directly at me.
"I'm so used to it that I sometimes even forget what it's like to show emotions." I said, while sighing and turned my head up to face the black celling, "That's why I'm glad that you choose to use a happy façade instead of a emotionless façade, which I use."
"I'm in the same situation as you... I sometimes forget what it's like to smile a genuine smile." Maria announced, "I sometimes wished that I choose to use a emotionless façade instead."
"Hmm..." I hummed, while running a hand through my really long hair. I quickly got out of bed and changed my clothes. I was now wearing a black tank top with black lace at the top, black jeans, my normal black converse, a black leather jacket, a black ankle length scarf (AN: Sort of like Kai from Beyblade), my black half-mask, my normal black cross choker, my new Gothic/Egyptian ear cuff, my black and purple deck holders and my black and purple duel disk. I placed my phone in my pocket and put my headphones around my neck and started to make my way towards the kitchen.
"Where are you going?" Leo asked, when I walked through the dinning room to get to the kitchen. I turned around and saw everyone at the table eating.
"Food." I said, before walking in to the kitchen. I quickly went to the freezer and grabbed a tub of cookie dough ice cream. I then went back to the dinning room and sat down in my seat and put my legs up on the table with everyone's eyes on me. The seat order went like this;
Me
Maria-Tea
Leo-Rebecca
Lea-Yugi
Joey-Tristan
Duke-Empty
Empty-Empty
Empty
"What?" I said bluntly, trying to figure out why everyone was staring at me.
"It's because of what your eating. There probably wondering why your eating ice cream." Maria said, with a wide smile on her face. I looked back to the Yu-Gi-Oh gang who were nodding at what Maria said.
"You'll get fat. You should eat salad instead if you want to keep your figure." Tea said, with that high pitched voice.
"But I never get fat. No matter how lazy I am or the amount of food I eat, I never get fat. Oh and my reason for eating dessert first is because you never know when your going to die. You normally eat dessert last but you can't eat it if your dead, now can you?" I stated, as if it was the most obvious thing ever.
"I can't believe how morbid you are. How much do you weigh?" Leo questioned.
"I'm 7'2 stone." I said, the whole of the gang had there mouth wide open. I could actually see... Yami's ghost but his mouth wasn't open like everyone else... his ruby eyes were narrowed.
"How tall are you?" Rebecca pushed further.
"I'm 5'1, my breast size is a C cup and I'm 16 years old. Now you know about me." I spoke in annoyance, as I put the ice cream on the table. "I used to be anorexic. Happy now?" Everyone, excluding Maria, seemed shocked at what I said.
"When did you become anorexic?" Lea asked in concern.
"After Maria and me started living together, we were sometimes tight with money. So to pay off a lot of debt I skipped meals and started working double shifts." I explained, with a blunt tone.
"Why didn't you come to us for help?" Leo and Lea asked at the same time.
"Because it would fill like I'd be in even more debt." I said, while pulling out my phone to look at the time. '8:49... Gosh, time has gone by very quickly! And I wasn't even having fun!' I thought to myself. "We should leave soon. It's 8:49." I said, while walking to the freezer to put the ice cream away. I walked back through to the dinning room, only to notice that no one was there.
"We were waiting for you outside." Lea said, coming through the window... again.
"Hn." Was my brilliant reply, as I climbed out the window with Lea. As soon as I saw the group by the chopper I quickened my pace. They were all standing outside, gossiping about how Yugi will win the championships. I shoved my hands in my back pockets while listening to there boring conversations and Tea's lame friendship speeches. Once I had shoved my hands in my back pockets... I felt something. A hard something. I quickly pulled it out... it was the duel card Diffusion Wave-Motion. 'Weird... Am I suppose to give this to Yugi and let him win?' I thought to myself, when everyone was boarding the chopper.
"Can I fly the chopper?" Maria asked, in her innocent voice.
"NO!" EVERYONE shouted at her.
"I'm flying the chopper." I said in a monotone voice. I jumped into the chopper but before I sat in the pilots seat, I dropped the duel card on Yugi's lap and mouthed "When the time comes, you'll need it." I started the chopper up and plugged my phone into the portable docking station (which somehow got by my feet) and started playing Bitch by Meredith Brooks. Taking off isn't easy when you've got teenagers in the back screaming "I'm going to die!" or "I don't want to die, I'm to young!".

'He defiantly over did it.' I thought, as the roof to the Blue Eyes Dome lifted up and somehow quickly disappeared.
"Ladies and gentlemen, duellists of all ages, Kaiba corp. is proud to present the KC Grand Championships tournament." Rowland said into the mike, while the crowd went wild. "We've assembled an outstanding line up. They are all the top duellists from every country around the world and we have brought them all here just for you." 'I didn't get a choice!' I mentally shouted, while glaring at Rowland to hurry his speech up.
"One of which will be crowned world champ!" Rowland continued. I was standing beside Joey... Who was doing all these crazy things... With Maria joining him. 'I'm surrounded my idiots!' I thought, while I let a "Ugh..." out of annoyance.
"I think they know who that's going to be." Joey said, referring to himself.
"I'm so glad you agree with me! I'm going to win!" Maria said, with her trade mark happy-go-lucky smile.
"WHAT! It's going to be me!" Joey shouted in return... which was the start of a big argument... until one of them loses in the tournament. After Maria and Joey finished there argument... I decided to see what they were doing now... Only to see them do the most stupidest thing EVER! They were both crouching and doing a sign with there hands which meant "Bring it on!". I couldn't help but let out a small laugh...But I quickly went back to my stoic self.
"And now are master of ceremonies!" Rowland said, while this mini stage came out of the ground...it was Mokuba. 'Do they have to be so dramatic?' I mentally mumbled.
"Are you people ready to get you duel on? I cant hear you, Are you ready to see some duelling or what?" Mokuba said with a serious look on his face, while lifting his left fist into the air. In response he got a loud "YES!".
"Good because it's about time to kick off the greatest duel monsters tournament to ever been organised! And before the week is through, we might have a new international duel monsters champion! So give it up for the current title holder, Yugi Moto. Give a shout out to your fans Yugi!" Mokuba continued, while Yugi suddenly appeared on the giant screen. You could easily tell he was under pressure, when he looked towards Joey, Rebecca, Vivan, Leon, Maria and me.
"Ok! Maybe later! So now lets kick off our tournament with the first round match up! The first competitor will be Joey Wheeler who will be up against Apdnarg Otom. Next is Zigfried Loyd vs Fortune Salim. Then Rebecca Hawkins vs Vivian Wong, Leon Wilson vs Dr. Richard Goat and last but not least, May Young vs Maria Young (AN: I skipped the unimportant people) !" Once Mokuba said who everyone was against... Joey had to go and make a big scene about it.
"When I win, that mask is coming off!" Joey shouted, not noticing the similarities between 'Apdnarg Otom' and 'Grandpa Moto'. 'Idiot.' I thought, while staring at a shocked Maira.
"I'm going to lose! NO!" Maria said, becoming very dramatic with tears in her eyes and a pout on her quivering lips. She then suddenly got on her knees and started hugging my waist.
"Please go easy on me, sis!" Maria begged.
"No." I sternly said.
"Please!"
"No!"
"Please!"
"No!"
"Please!"
"NO!"
"PLEASE!"
"NO! NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS!"
"YOUR SO MEAN!"
And then came the fake waterfalls and a soaked black tank top and white tank top (Maria is wearing the same as me but in white, with the exception of the ear cuff). Suddenly the atmosphere in the stadium changed. I quickly looked up to see what the cause was... Mr. Pole-Stuck-Up-My-Ass. "He always has to be so dramatic." I scoffed, while Maria suddenly hugged me tighter. Seto had jumped out of his blue eyes jet with a jet pack on his back. When he was close to landing he suddenly crossed his arms. But when he did land... his jet pack suddenly disappeared. Quickly Mokuba passed the mike to Seto.
"Alright, I'm going to make this brief." Seto started.
"He always makes things brief, so what's the difference." Maria's voice came out muffled from my top but I could perfectly understand her.
"This is not a show, its the ultimate test of survival. It will push everyone involved to there limits. If you came for a friendly game, then I suggest you go home. This is a ruff battle and in the end, only one duellist will stay standing. Now if everyone is clear, lets move on. From this moment forward, Kaiba Land is a battle field. So trust no one and may the best duellist win!" Kaiba said with his dramatic voice, while quickly looking at Maria and me through his piercing blue eyes.
"I'm defiantly attending you wedding." I quietly spoke to Maria, who had her face pressed into my stomach but I could easily tell that her face was bright red... and so could Seto since he let out a small chuckle. "I'll help you with picking baby clothes as well." I continued , causing Maria to pull her head away from my stomach to show her twenty shades of red face.
"That show off! He's just lucky that he's not duelling!" Joey suddenly said, letting Maria's face go back to her normal pale white skin. Out of the corner off my eye I saw Pinky/Ziggy smirk when Seto was thinking hard about something. 'Didn't Pinky hack into the computers or something like that... I wish I remembered more of the damn story!' I though to myself but I could tell that Maria's thoughts were on the same track as mine.
"Who should win our duel?" I whispered to Maria.
"You... Because when your duelling I can try and get information on Ziggy over there." Maria whispered back.
"Maria... May..." Mokuba waved towards us.
"What is it?" We simultaneously said, while going back to are normal façades.
"I'm here to tell you where you have to go. You're going to be duelling in Hook Graveyard." Mokuba said. My eye lit up like a kid waiting for Santa Claus when Mokuba mentioned a graveyard.
"Please choose another! I hate graveyards!" Maria said, with fear in her eyes.
"Maria, The sooner we get there, The sooner it will be over." I said, while holding her shaking form.
"To get to the graveyard, you have to go through are little test. The test to get to the graveyard is the hardest test. And I you don't get there on time... you disqualified." Mokuba said, while pointing to the way we need to go.
"Jeez, you would think you could get a break." I said, while carrying Maria towards the graveyard. "Oh and Mokuba, make a back up for all of your computer files. You'll find out why later."
XxXxX~Time Skip~XxXxX
'I hate this graveyard.' I thought, while kicking the coffin door open. I quickly placed Maria down and walked to the other side. 'They weren't kidding when they say this place is scarer then a normal graveyard at night.' I thought, as I took in my surroundings. There were fake gravestones on top of each other everywhere and every tree had a wire connected to it's branch with a hook on the end of the wire.
"Let's get this over and done with." Maria suddenly said, with a bright smile on her face but her legs were visibly shaking.
"You shouldn't push your self." I said in a blunt tone but Maria knew better.
"I'm fine." Maria said. We both walked to the middle and gave each others cards to shuffle. Once we got our decks back, we walked to the opposite sides of the graveyard.
Life Points;
Me-4000
Maria-4000
"It's time to duel! I'll go first." Maria shouted, " I play Black Inferno Ninja (Atk/1500, Def/1000) in attack mode, And this cards effect let's me choose a random Fire Mage from my deck and put it in my hand . I end my turn." A black ninja appeared with a black kuni in there hand. They had a red fire print on there black ninja clothes. (AN: This is my first time doing a duel so if you can give me any pointers, it would be very helpful! .net/topic/165082-fire-mage-set-please-comment-andor-rate/ is where I got Maria's cards from!)
"I play the trap card Death Game,We both have half our life points and summon any monster with the same amount of attack points as your life points but you cant play a monster with attack points higher then your life points."
Life points;
Me- 2000
Maria- 2000
"Okay... I play Fire Mage Lady (Atk/2000,Def/2000) in attack mode." Maria nervously said, when she saw my smirk. Fire Mage Lady wears long black boots, black panties, black bra, black bracelets on both wrists, black necklace and she has ash coloured hair.
"I summon Winged Soldier Of The Dead (Atk/2000, Def/2000) in attack mode and it's effect kicks in because it was special summoned, it allows me to destroy one of your monsters and I choose Fire Mage Lady but you don't lose any life points. I place two cards face down and end my turn." I bluntly said. Winged Soldier Of The Dead looks like a teenage boy. He has layered spiky black hair with red bits at the end. He wears a black shirt which is open so it shows his six pack, he also wears long black jeans and black trainers. He has beautiful long black wings and carries a long black, with a tint of red, syth.
"My turn but when did you get that card?" Maria asked.
"A long time ago." I replied.
"Ok. I play Fire Mage- Elf Princess (Atk/1000,Def/1500) in defence mode and end my turn." Fire Mage -Elf Princess has a long orange dress with a orange sash going around her waist. She has long pointy ears and waist length blond hair. She also carries a long black staff with a orange sphere at the top.
"I play Dead Horse (Atk/1800, Def/1700), I activate Dead Horse's effect, it allows me to summon Dead Rider in attack mode(Atk/1600, Def/600) from my deck. Dead Horse attack Fire Mage- Elf Princess and Dead Rider attack Black Inferno Ninja. Winged Soldier Of The Dead lets finish what we started, Attack!" I shouted, "And that's game!" I did a little salute with two fingers and a smile on my face... Just before Maria and me burst out laughing.
Life Points;
Me-2000
Maria-0
"That was a fun game!" Maria said, with a giant smile on her face.
"I agree! We haven't done that in ages. It felt like I was a kid again!" I exclaimed, not really caring that we both dropped our façades.
"Same here!" Maria said, with a even brighter smile, "Do you think we should go and find the others?"
"Others?" I questioned, in a innocent way.
"The Yu-Gi-Oh gang." Maria replied, with the same amount of innocence.
"Okay." I looked up at the score board and saw that Joey's duel had finished, "There probably at Rebecca's duel." I said while turning towards the exit.
"Hey! Wait up!" Maria shouted.
XxXxX~Time Skip~XxXxX
"Is the duel still going?" I asked Yugi, who was leaning out the window.
"Yep! Vivian is on 900LP at the moment." Yugi replied, a little shocked to see me.
"Cool." I bluntly replied.
"So the first card goes last... I still don't get it!" Joey nearly shouted.
"I end my turn." Rebecca said. I looked out of the window and saw near to nothing on Vivian's side and on Rebecca's side I saw Fire Princess in attack mode but it was restricted by her trap card Gravity Bind. 'I used to use that card to stop all of Leo's attacks since her deck is based around powerful monsters.' I though, while getting a flash of the past.
"Ok, Last chance. I'll start of with this, it's a handy little magic card called Glomness Cloud." Vivian said in anger, while doing these kung fu kicks, "This gives me the power to sacrifice (AN: Don't know how to spell them so I'm skipping there names.) two of my Chinese monsters in order to summon Dragon Lady."
"All that to summon a ugly looking girl. My Chaos Magician Girl looks a lot better then her." I sated, with my trade mark smirk and in return I got a glare from the duel monster card and Vivian.
"I'll have to agree with you on that, May." Maria said, with her trade mark smile and in return she got glares as well.
"What? We're only stating the truth." Me and Maria spoke at the same time.
"Dragon Lady is not ugly!" Vivian shouted at us.
" Ugly starts with 'u' and awesome end with 'me'!" I shouted back, keeping the smirk on my face. In the back ground I could hear Maria laughing her head off and being the dramatic person she is she'll probably be rolling on the floor, trying to hold her stomach out of pain from laughing so hard. I took a glimpse behind me and... Yep, she's laughing her ass off again.
"Yay! The original May is coming back!" Maria said, while trying to contain herself... which failed... miserably. I turned back to watch the duel going on but I noticed I missed a lot because Vivian was on the ground depressed and Rebecca was hugging Yugi... causing me to let out a chuckle. 'Innocent love...' I thought while walking back to the main building to see who had won.
"Wait up!" The gang called but I just continued walking.
Once I got to the building, I looked at the closest screen with the gang surrounding me.
"According to Kaiba's chart... Who ever will win this match... Will be in a three way duel against Joey and May." Duke stated while looking at the screen.
"WHAT?" Everyone screamed at the same time, excluding me, Maria and Duke.
"I'm going to lose." Joey said, while looking dejected.
"I'm glad I don't have to tell you." I bluntly spoke.
"Don't listen to her, Joey." Tea said, while glaring at me.
"What? I'm just stating a fact." I said, focusing my attention on the screen, "That guy is going to win this duel in one turn."
"I know." Maria said, acting all serious instead of childish.
"That's impossible." Tristan said, waving his hand from side to side in front of his face.
"If I'm correct then you owe me 1247 yen (10 pounds/15.6 dollars)." I spoke with a smirk, while holding out my hand to make a deal.
"Sure! Since you won't win this bet. If he doesn't win this in one turn then you have to pay me." Tristan said, while shaking my hand.
"Your on!" I said, with my smirk staying in place the whole time.
XxXxX~Time Skip~XxXxX
"Hand over the money." I said, holding out my hand towards Tristan while watching Weevil and Rex fall to the ground in defeat on the screen. I turned towards Tristan... only to see him in the 'Gloomy' corner with Joey. I turned to look at the rest of the gang who were mostly in a daze from the duel. Yugi's and Maria's eyes were narrowed at the screen, Tea was glaring at me and Maria, Joey and Tristan were in the 'Gloomy' corner and Rebecca and Duke were in a daze. After I got my money from Tristan, I headed for the contestants room. Once I sat down, I didn't have a care about what was going on around me, I just focused on my deck.
"Here." Maria sat down on a chair beside me and handed me a duel card.
"You always know what I need to make my deck perfect." I said, as I shuffled the card into my deck.
"It's time for you to go and win!" Maria said, as she suddenly dragged me out of the room.
XxXxX~Time Skip~XxXxX
'This is so boring!' I thought, while listening to Laura by Scissor Sisters to kill time because Joey was late... again. 'Maybe I should start a conversation with Ziggy...'
"So... Ziggy, how's life?" I asked out of boredom.
"What did you just call me?" Ziggy said annoyed but in a German accent.
"I called you Ziggy or do you prefer being called Pinky?" I asked, while getting up off the ground.
"I'd prefer to not be called by those names." He scoffed.
"I'm sorry but that's not an option since your given name is way too long." I spoke in German, while I stood in front off him. He seemed quite shocked that I could speak German.
"I'm surprised that you can speak German... Your name is May, right?" Ziggy asked in German.
"That's my name Ziggy Von Schroeder, don't wear it out." I spoke with a taunting voice, accidentally revealing that I know who Ziggy is.
"How do you know who I really am?" Ziggy said, with wide eyes. 'Seto... if you don't catch this on that stupid camera of yours...I'll kill you, I think.' I thought to myself.
"My surname is Young. And it's about time Joey got here." I answered his question, before watching Joey come in on the blue-eyes roller coaster.
"Your late!" I yelled at Joey.
"I'm sorry but I kind of... got lost." Joey sheepishly replied, while scratching the back of his head.
"Let's just get this over and done with." I handed Joey my deck and he handed me his deck. We both started shuffling the cards very quickly. I returned Joey his deck and he did the same. I then walked over to Ziggy and then did the same thing but we both stared at each other trough the whole thing. 'What is he planning?' I asked myself. We all quickly walked to different parts of the arena and it looked... sort off like... a triangle.
"Let's duel!" Joey and Ziggy said at the same time but then they quickly looked at me.
"You didn't say 'Let's duel!'!" Joey said, looking at me as if I was a weirdo.
"Do I have to?" In return I got two nods, "Let's duel!"
