"There goes your brother." Cell looks at Cooler. "Let's get ourselves moving."

"I suggest we leave something to distract them. Move their sights elsewhere."

"Agreed. But something that might also greatly increase our advantage."

Cooler grins, "I got just the one to do it..." A card materializes in his hand.

Log enters the same lab where everyone else is gathered. "I have a few new cards working, not many though."

"How well will they work?" questions Kaiba.

"They'll work. ... just not very sure how our friends here will react with them."

"React?" echoes Gohan.

Log heads to Kaiba first, Vegeta decides to over to see what the card is. Log hands Kaiba a single card.

"Super Saiyan Vegeta," reads Kaiba.

"You can Tribute Summon that version, or you can tribute Vegeta on the field to bring that one from your hand in a Special Summon," says Log.

"Finally," smiles Vegeta. "Now, I can really start to show my strength."

Log turns to Yami, who just came up to him. "Uh... These are yours." He hands Yami two cards.

Yami reads the cards, Goku looking over his shoulder. Goku chuckles, "Hey, Vegeta. I got a Super Saiyan card too."

Vegeta's pride obviously drifts away.

"Kaioken?" reads Yami.

"It's an equip card to increase a non-Super Saiyan Goku's attack and defense."

Yami nods. "Thanks."

Marik is next. Log gives him one card, "You also get one. A Super Saiyan Gohan."

Gohan smiles widely.

"And you, Joey."

"Lay it on me," he says as he holds out his hand. Log gives him two cards. Joey reads them, "Name-ek-ian Regeneration? Hey! Isn't that the card you used yesterday?"

Log nods.

"It's pronounced 'Namekian Regeneration'," corrects Piccolo. "What's the other one?"

"Uh... Nail of Planet Namek? ... That's quite a long effect for a monster card. You could have made it brief," he says as he glances at Log.

Log laughs slightly. "Basically, you can fuse Nail and Piccolo without a Polymerization card."

"Well, why dincha put that?"

"It got complicated."

"Why these simple cards?" questions Vegeta. "You should just create cards that make us super powerful so we can just squish them flat."

"We can't," replies Mokuba. "If we're right, they will be able to copy what cards we use. If you can't 'squish' them, they could make a better card to fight back."

"Are they anymore cards?" asks Kaiba.

"We're finishing up on some more monster cards. I guess... they will be your cards," replies Log as he turns his eyes to Tea, Tristan, and Duke.

"Are they like these ones?" asks Duke.

"Uh... Close, I guess," replies Mokuba.

"Should we try these cards out?" asks Marik.

"Maybe we should get some breakfast first," suggests Joey.

"Didn't you eat earlier this morning?"

"No, I just had drinks. Plus, Yugi better show his Grandpa he's okay before he has a panic attack."

Yami nods. "Grandpa is likely worried that I haven't come home last night."

"We should do that first," suggests Tea.

"I can drive you there," says Duke. "Oh yeah... I don't have my car with me..."

"You don't need a car to get around," smiles Goku.

Tristan looks at the Saiyan hologram, "And what do you have in mind?"

-

Several minutes later...

"WHOOOAAAAA!" yells Joey as he and Tristan are carried through the air.

"You okay, Joey!" yells Tristan.

Joey starts laughing, "This is wicked! Better than any rollercoaster ride!"

"Your shrieking isn't helping," mutters Piccolo as he carries them. The two teenagers are being carried by their waists, wrapped by Piccolo's arms.

"Turn down here," says Joey in a laugh as he points down at a street to turn onto.

Behind them is Gohan with Marik and Duke.

"You two okay?" asks Gohan.

"I'm okay," says Marik in awe as he looks at the people and traffic, most of which stares right back.

"As for me, let me say this," starts Duke. "If I can drive there rather than fly there, I wouldn't by plane tickets..."

Gohan chuckles slightly.

And finally behind them is Goku with (now) Yugi and Tea.

"Shouldn't we be leading?" asks Goku.

"Yeah, but..." starts Yugi.

"Not while I'm not dressed for anything like this!" says Tea back.

"Huh?" says Goku.

"The last thing I want is Joey and Tristan looking up my skirt!"

Yugi tries to keep his laugh quiet.

"Oh, I see," says Goku. "But what about the people down there?"

Tea tenses her legs and thighs more from the comment, "I'm trying not to look down, thank you."

"Don't worry, my grip is tight," laughs Goku.

"I doubt anyone would be trying to look from down there," chuckles Yugi.

"How far away are we now?" asks Goku.

"We're close. Joey knows the way."

Joey's cheerful yells and shrieks can be heard from their position.

"Are you sure that Joey is taking the quickest way there!" asks Tea.

Inside the World...

Sora peers down over a clip that overlooks a portal. He smiles as he watches for some innocent gamers to surprise as they come through. Or maybe he's just watching Mimiru, who is also waiting for someone.

Mimiru sighs heavily, "Still waiting for you, Bear... What's taking you so long today?"

The portal chimes as a user signs on. Mimiru looks at the figure teleporting onto the scene, and is disappointed.

A man appears, weaponless, with very pale skin and a bald blue-tattooed head. His clothing is tight, white, with blue patches. He examines his body

"Hm..." smiles Sora. "Looks like we have a newbie here today..."

Mimiru sighs again, unaware of Sora's presence.

"Hey, you there," says the male character. "What server am I on?"

"Huh?" Mimiru looks at him, a bit offended by his attitude. "You're on the Tokyo Number One server."

"Hm.." The man looks around.

"Let me guess. You're new to the game, and you just want to get to a higher level as fast as you can."

"... More or less." The man's body suddenly statics in and out for a quick second.

"You're not going to get far with a bad connection."

"I don't need your help, weak human."

"Why you little--."

Another chime sounds. Mimiru looks towards the portal as another user joins in. "Bear!"

"Sorry I'm late."

The man heads off, still shorting a fair bit.

"It was getting pretty boring without you. Don't know where Tsukasa is right now."

"Oh? I thought you may have made a new friend there."

"Huh? You mean him?" she points over her shoulder with her thumb. "He's nothing but a snotty, bad-mannered, weakling newbie."

Bear looks at the character, and is a bit surprised at something. "Interesting character model."

Mimiru looks back at the man, who has a thick, bare tail just behind him now. "I didn't see that before..."

The man turns along the side of the cliff, Sora sees his moment.

"Must be something new in the World," comments Bear. "Oh well, let's go find Tsukasa."

-

The man's body statics once more, changing the shape of his head. "I need this to finish so I can get going..."

Sora suddenly leaps down from above and places his dagger at the man's neck. "Thinking of leaving so soon?"

The man sighs, "What do you want, human?"

"'Human'? Don't make yourself sound so superior. You don't even have a weapon."

"I am my own weapon."

"Member address, please, and I'll let you go without a scratch," Sora taunts.

The man's body shifts to another shape with a bit of static. The man grabs Sora's wrist and effortlessly pulls it away from him.

"Hey!" Sora pulls his hand away and holds it. "How did you do that! You must be cheating! I'm at a much higher level than you could be!"

"Just waiting for the rest of me to be downloaded." He turns toward to Sora. "Tell your friends that Lord Frieza is soon going to take over your World..."

"Lord Frieza?"

Frieza points his finger at Sora, "After you spawn a new life, that is." He fires and kills Sora. Sora falls to the ground before disappearing in data fragments.

Frieza laughs. "Told you I am my own weapon. My conversion is almost complete. Then my fun here really begins..."

Bakura re-enters the computer room. "I think it's time--... Where is the other one?"

"He's over here," says Cell. He holds a parcel in his hand.

"What's this?"

"Pure genius, really. This is Cooler. Or rather his program and three holo-generators. All you have to do is mail it to Australia. Once he gets there, he just turns back on."

Bakura chuckles, "That is a good idea. Wait, me mail him?"

"Of course. I can't go around like this, or my cover is blown."

"Fine." He takes the parcel.

"I'll be leaving the city as soon as our little distraction makes himself known."

"Distraction?"

"Yes... And if you want to be part of Yugi's little friend group, perhaps you should be ready to give him support before things get crazy..."

Grandpa Moto returns to the room with several drinks in hand, "I'm just glad you boys are okay. But I hope you don't decide to stay out all night again."

Yugi sweatdrops at the seemingly-hidden nag. "We'll remember that next time, Grandpa."

"At least try to phone."

Goku and Gohan explore the items in the Game Store.

"Well, Joey and I made sure that we were never separated," replies Yugi, hoping for a lesser consequence.

Grandpa shakes his head. Then looks at Marik, "You've said that your sister is in the hospital?"

Marik nods, "Yes, sir... She got hurt last night and got hit on the head."

"My word... She's going to be alright?"

"She'll be alright," smiles Yugi, removing any worry.

"I'll be staying in Domino City until she wakes up," says Marik.

Grandpa nods. He then looks at the odd figure in the bunch, Piccolo, who glares back at him.

"So... are these the same thi--THAT'S BREAKABLE!"

Gohan suddenly fumbles a glass game piece, and fumbles it again on the catch. Goku attempts to grab it but it bounces back up, and he catches it again on the second try. Goku opens up his hand, no defects. Father and son chuckles nervously.

Grandpa sighs.

"What were you going to ask?" asks Tea.

"I was asking if these were like the ones in the news." He pushes forward the day's newspaper. It shows a picture of Cell, as well as a few participants.

Joey points at the one with Yugi, Kaiba, and Log together. "That's not of Yugi's best photos there..."

"It would take awhile to explain, but they are the same more or less," replies Yugi.

"I thought things were under control," says Grandpa.

"KaibaCorp is likely trying to keep things quiet," replies Tristan.

"Wonder how long this will last," comments Duke. "They maybe trying to do stuff, but right now the viruses are still going about on their own."

"Viruses?" asks Grandpa.

Yugi smiles with a quiet sigh. "Let's just hope there are still only three of them..."

Weevil and Rex are sent flying onto their backside. "No! We had him beat! This is your fault, Rex!"

"ME! This is all because of you! Why do I even bother staying with you!"

"Enough of your bickering," says a male voice.

"This was actually your fault! You tricked us with your new rules!" complains Weevil.

"You openingly agreed to face me... Besides, you two had the advantage."

"Yeah, but... you're not human!" replies Rex. "No way you can be a duelist and a monster at the same time!"

"I know what I am. And for your loss... you'll realize that your duel disks are no longer operational..."

"WHAT!" Weevil checks his over, but it doesn't turn on. "How did you do that!"

"Fix it back!" yells Rex.

"I'll fix them... if you do something for me..."

"Like what?" asks Weevil.

"Go find Yugi Moto, Seto Kaiba, Joey Wheeler, and any of their friends and bring them to me. As soon as I destroy each and every one of them... You can have your toys working again..."

"I don't know about this..." mutters Rex.

"Go!"

Both Weevil and Rex scramble to their feet and take off run.

"Tell them quickly! I want to tear Vegeta and Kakarot apart... Tell them that Broli, the True Super-Saiyan, is looking forward to meet them..." he smiles menacingly…
