Chapter 3: Yami Yugi VS Rare Hunter; Part 1!

Bennu's Apartment!

The young Princess was setting in the living room double checking to make sure she had everything and that her homework was done as well while she waited for her Mother. Meanwhile, the young Queen was getting ready by picking out a new outfit. Akusaa pulled on a blue jean vest over a black leather blew chest tank top and left it opened before she added a skull/cross bone buckle belt to hold up a pair of faded black skinny jeans. Once she was done with that, the young Queen accessorized with a golden bracelet that has the eye of RA in the middle on her right wrist before adding the black leather chocker that she got the other day around her neck. When Akusaa finished getting dressed she grabbed an off the shoulder bag before she walked out of her room and went into the living room where Akela was waiting for her in one of her own new outfit. Akela had on a purple jacket that she left opened over a black tight sleeveless shirt that she added with a pair of black shorts that she had accessorized with a purple leather belt and to complete the look she was wearing a purple leather dog collar-like chocker with a dog tag hanging off around her neck.

"Ready?" Akusaa asked her Daughter.

"Ready Mother," Akela answered with a nod.

"Then let's go."

The two Egyptians walked over to the door where Akela put on a pair of black tennis shoes while her Mother pulled on a pair of black mid-calf length high heeled boots before they left.

Domino Street!

"So how did your first day at school go?" Akusaa asked Akela as they walked down the street.

"It was alright," Akela answered with a smile.

"Did you make any friends?"

"Yup."

"Really? Who?"

"Well, there's Arata, Anna, Katsu, Alexis, and last, but not least Atticus who is about two summers older then me," Akela answered.

"That's great to hear," Akusaa told her daughter with a smile.

Akela smiled at her Mother when they stopped in front of the school building.

"It's even more great cause they all like dueling as well," the young Princess told her Mother.

Akusaa smiled and laughed a bit before she knelt down to her Daughter's height and gave her a kiss on the forehead.

"Go and have fun," she told her with a smile.

"Alright," Akela agreed before running into the school grounds here a group of kids where waiting, "Hey, guys!"

Akusaa smiled even more as she watched them.

"Whose the woman?" a young dirty blonde haired girl asked.

"Oh, she's my Mother," Akela answered, "she's Egypt's top ranking Duelist, Akusaa Bennu."

"NO WAY!" a young white haired girl yelled, "I idolize her. Lucky."

Akela giggled while the others started to ask the white haired girl what she knew about Akusaa Bennu before looking at her Mother who gave her a smile before leaving.

Domino Square!

It wasn't long till Akusaa got to the square where she saw a lot of other duelist and it wasn't long till she heard Yugi's voice as he got closer to the clock that was in the middle.

"This clear card was in the same package as the duel disk," Yugi told them all, "looks like it's part of a map. Where's the rest of it?" Yugi let out a gasp as he looked up. "It must be another new twist that Kaiba throw into his tournament."

"Yugi!" a female voice called out.

Yugi and Akusaa looked over to see a blond running up to the short tri-color haired boy.

"Hey, Mai," Yugi greeted.

"Pretty big turn out for this thing," Mai told them when she came to a stop, "all losers."

"Well, there's a lot of duelist I've never seen before," Yugi said.

"Oh, this is so exciting!" Mai cheered, "I wonder whose butt I should kick first in this tournament."

"Yugi!" a creepy little voice called out making Yugi and Mai to look over. "I thought I saw you buzzing around."

Akusaa also looked over to see two male duelist making her to roll her eyes.

"Well, if it isn't Rex Rapter and Weevil," Mai said in uninterested voice, "I thought I smelled something."

"I'll never forget how you played me for a chumpasures at Duelist Kingdom Mai," Rex said, "now it's pay back time."

"And Yugi," Weevil said, "next time we duel you won't be so lucky." Akusaa rolled her eyes again as she listened in. "My deck is infested with swarms of rare and powerful insects."

"Those are large words coming from such a small guppy," a deep voice said.

"Mako Tsunami," Yugi said in shock.

Akusaa let out a sigh as she went to walk by not at all interested, but as she passed he cought the eye of Mai at once.

"No way!" Mai squealed with delight making everyone to look at her. "Your...your Akusaa Bennu!" Akusaa looked back at her with a bored look, but nodded all the same making Weevil, Mako, and Rex to gasp. "I can't believe I'm meeting you in person." Akusaa raised an eyebrow at this while Yugi just looked clueless. "I heard a lot of good things about you, Akusaa. Most of them being that your one of Egypt's top duelists."

"What?" Yugi asked in shock.

"You didn't know Yugi?" Mai asked making the shorter teen to shake his head, "well, you see, Akusaa is the best Dragon Duelist in Egypt plus she's ranked as one of the three most hottest female duelist in the world."

"Who are the other two female's, Mai?" Yugi asked.

"One of them is moi," Mai answered, "and the other is Ishizu."

"Well, if anyone should make any waves it well be me," Mako went on.

"You think you'll win this tournament?" Weevil asked.

"Of course," Mako answered, "there's nothing that can with stand my mighty danseuse of the deep."

"Your serenades well be crushed by my dino horrid," Rex informed him.

"Don't be so sure cause my brand new Fortress Whale card is much mightier then your Two-Headed King Rex," Mako told him.

Akusaa blinked at the three arguing duelist with a raised eyebrow.

"Well, I have a monster that's far superior to my Great Moth," Weevil boasted, "don't think I'll tell you what it is."

"Yeah, well, maybe I'll just have to shake it out of you, Weevil," Mako stated as he really started to shake Weevil.

Akusaa, Yugi, and Mai sweat dropped throughout the whole thing with disbelief.

"Some Duelist never change," Mai told Yugi and Akusaa.

"If I'm not mistaken Weevil, but you were the first one paddling from Duelist Kingdom," Mako stated.

"Yeah," Rex agreed, "I hope that you remember to bring your ores this time." All 6 of them where unaware that they were being watched. "We'll settle this in a duel a later when the tournament begins."

"Fine," Mako growled, "I well be waiting."

Akusaa let out a sigh as the three boys took off from the others.

"Yugi, I thank I'll head off, too," Mai told them, "but remember that the next time we meet we're rivals." Mai looked at Akusaa winked at her. "See you around Akusaa."

"Right," Yugi agreed.

Without Yugi noticing that Akusaa had sneaked away to head some where in the crowd. As Akusaa walked around alone a shadow was cast over her making the Egyptian Duelist to look up at the sky to see a blimp pass over head.

"Greeting Duelist," Kaiba's voice sounded, "welcome to my Battle City Tournament. It's time to put your dueling skills to the test." Akusaa raised an eyebrow. "I hope that none of you enter my Tournament looking for friendly compaction cause Battle City is going to be an all out war."

'An all out war?' Akusaa thought with shock.

"Before my Battle City Tournament begins, I thought I'd let you all know what chya in for," Kaiba went on, "in case you want to back out now. Let's begin with my new duel disks." Every duelist looked at their duel disk in thought. "Everyone that I thought was good enough to enter received one and with it you can duel any time and any where. And it contains a tracking chip that allows me to watch every move you make. Next let's talk about the most important rule. The loser of each duel most fork over their rarest card to the winner. If you don't have the guts to risk losing you precious cards then I suggest you forte now. And anyone foolish enough can challenge me to a duel because I'm also competing in this tournament. But don't get your hopes up cause I intend to win and there's one duelist out there that I can't wait to defeat. And speaking of winning, only the 12 best duelist well make it to the final round and the final's will be held in a hide location."

"What?" Akusaa asked out loud in shock, "but how are we to find them?"

"In order to find the finals, you'll need these's locator cards," Kaiba went to explain as he held up the clear card making everyone to pull them out. "You each received one with your duel disk, but don't get to excited because one's not enough. You'll need 6 of them to make it to the tournament finals." Akusaa looked back up at the sky. "Every time you win a duel, you'll get a locator card from your losing opponent. Once 6 cards are stack together they produce a map of Battle City and activate a globe position satellite which will transfer the location to you, but the tournament finals are long time away and most of you well be eliminated before that. Alright, everything I said and more can be found in my tournament rule book. Just remember that only one player can win and claim the title of Number 1 Duelist in the world. Now get ready duelist. Let the Tournament begin!"

Akusaa let out a sigh as he placed the locator card back into her deck case before she went to walk off.

"Where are ya?" a voice asked loudly making Akusaa to stop, "you creep!" Akusaa then turned around to see Joey a bit ways away from her. "Hey, freak!" Akusaa walked over to see what was going and saw that Joey was glaring at an old man wearing a cloak. "I knew I'd find ya!"

"Didn't ya learn you lesson?" the man asked.

"Yeah," Joey answered, "never let an old creep in a cape slap you around!"

"You fool," the man called Joey.

"Listen, you've got my Red-Eyes Black Dragon and I want it back, sooo...It's Time to Duel!" Akusaa raised an eyebrow when she heard that this guy took Joey's card before the tournament even begin. "Are ya ready to duel me so I can win back my Red-Eyes?"

"I have no desire to duel you," the cloaked man answered, "I've already relieved you of your rare Red-Eyes Black Dragon!" The guy said as he stood up. "My hunter for your deck is over. My prey has already been captured."

"Well, that's to bad cause I'm not leaving without my Red-Eyes!" Joey yelled at the guy.

"Joey!" Yugi's voice sounded as he ran up to Joey, "what's going on?" Akusaa moved to join them looking confused as well. "What are you yelling about?"

'Yugi Mutou,' the cloaked man thought when he caught sight of the short teen before looking at the Puzzle around Yugi's neck. 'He has the item that my Master desires.' Just then he caught sight of Akusaa who was standing with Yugi and Joey before smirking. 'And the Pharaoh's Wife is with them. My Master shall be pleased.'

"That's one of the goons that swiped my Red-Eyes!" Joey answered.

Yugi looked over at the man and a shocked look came over his face.

'That robe,' Yugi thought, 'he's dressed just like Bandit Keith was. Could he be the one after my Millennium Puzzle?'

"They call themselves Rare Hunters which for me translate into cape wearing card taking freakazos," Joey told Yugi before running in front of him, "and this one owes me a rematch so I can get back my Red-Eyes Black Dragon!"

"I already told you that you hold nothing of any use to me," the Rare Hunter told him as he closed down his laptop, "but, perhaps your friend well be interested in being my next victim." The Rare Hunter walked around the table he was setting at. "It well be my pleasure in hunting Duelist Kingdom Champion and snare his Dark Magician. So I challenge Yugi Mutou to a duel."

"Look this is between you and me!" Joey yelled at him, "got it?"

"Joey, wait?" Yugi asked as he stepped forward, "fine Rare Hunter, I accept your challenge!"

"But Yuge..."

"It's the only way to get back your Red-Eyes Black Dragon," Yugi interrupted Joey, "I promise you that I'll beat him, Joey." Akusaa looked at the puzzle that had started to glow. "Yu-Gi-Oh!" Akusaa had to keep from smiling when the Pharaoh took Yugi's place. "So do we have a deal Rare Hunter?" The Pharaoh pointed his finger at the Rare Hunter. "As my first Battle City opponent id you lose you must return Joey's Red-Eyes Black Dragon! And if you win this duel then I'll hand over my Dark Magician to you."

"Yugi, there's no way I'd going to let you risk your Dark Magician," Joey told his friend, "I can take him. I'd never forgive himself if that ugly bum took your most valuable cards. I'll deal with this! It's my..."

"Thank you, Joey, but I must duel this Rare Hunter," Yami told him.

"What?"

"I'll have to risk losing my Dark Magician eventually," Yami pointed out to Joey, "this is my first Battle City duel and the first step in filling my destiny."

"Huh?"

"Let's get this hunt on already," the Rare Hunter growled, "the sooner I take my prize the better."

"I'm ready to duel whenever you are, Rare Hunter," Yami informed as he placed his deck into the holder on the duel disk.

"Yugi wait..."

"Don't even think about revealing my strategy, Joey Wheeler," the Rare Hunter interrupted, "if you say a word about how I defeated you I'll tire your Red-Eyes Black Dragon to shreds. So I'll give my mouth a rest if I were you and allow me to stalk the Duelist Kingdom Champion and take his Dark Magician without commentary."

"Fine I'll duel you one on one," Yami agreed before holding out his arm, "activate holoimagers!"

Akusaa was in awe as two holographic projectors flew off the base and landed onto the pavement a couple of meters away from Yami on both sides. However, what really got her was when the two triangular shapes to display his cards fell into place and then the whole device lit up spectacularly which signaled it ready to be in use

"Let's duel!" both duelist shouted as they drew the 5 cards for their hand.

Yami Yugi: 4000

Rare Hunter: 4000

"I'll drew first," Yami confirmed as he drew a his sixth card, "now get ready." The Rare Hunter looked at his hand with smirk in place, 'Excellent, I already have two piece of Exodia. When I assemble all 5 pieces I'll summon the all powerful Exodia, the Forbidden One and Obliterate Yugi.'

"Yugi what out for..." Joey tried to warn.

"Silence Wheeler or say good-bye to your Red-Eyes," the Rare Hunter warned him.

"To start off I'll place two cards face down on the field," Yami announced as two faces down appeared in front of him, "next I'll summon Beta, the Magnet Warrior in attack mode!" A cute little monster made up of green magnets materialized onto the field in a shower of white sparkles. (Atk 1700) "Can you handle my newest monster?"

Akusaa looked at the Rare Hunter with a thoughtful look waiting for him to make his first move so that she could watch Yami duel.

"My first card well be..." the Rare Hunter announced as he drew his card, "just what I expected. Graceful Charity let's me drew three cards and I discard two." The Rare Hunter two cards from his deck before sending two of them to the graveyard. 'Prefect, the third piece of Exodia. Only 2 more pieces left.' "If only you knew what's in my hand waiting you'll forfeit now and relinquish your rare Dark Magician."

"Never!" Yami shouted at him, "I may not know what's in your hand, but my trap card Light of Intervention reveals all your hidden monsters on the field. There well be no surprise attacks from you!"

"Doesn't matter," the Rare Hunter hummed, "Stone Statue of the Aztecs in defense mode."

A wall like monster that was made of stones appeared onto the field in front of the Rare Hunter. (Def 2000)

'All he's done so far is draw cards and play defense,' thought Yami, 'he must be waiting for something.' "It's time for your Stone Statue to crumble now! By Battle City rules, I sacrifice my Magnet Warrior to summon the almighty Berfomet and he's able to bring forth Gazelle, the King of Mystical Beast!" Akusaa was in surprise as the little magnet warrior dispersed in a shower of sparks while two beast-type monsters emerged to take it's place. (Berfomet's Atk 1400 and Gazelle's Atk 1500) "That's not all! Now I activate Polymerization to fuse them together forming Chimera, the Flying Mystical Beast!" A two-headed monster with the faces of the monsters that formed it appeared on the field standing on all fours with two white wings and a tail that was a snake. (Atk 2100) "On my next turn my all powerful Chimera well erode your Stone Statue into tiny pieces of rubble. Then according to Battle City, once you have no monsters left on the field I can attack your life points directly."

'Forget about what's on the field,' Joey thought, 'worry about what's in his hand.'

"Very impressive, but you'll need more then that to scare the hunter."

"Listen Yugi," Joey spoked up, "this guys got a plan to whip you out! Check out that grin on that ugly kisser of his. This is exactly what that old creep did to me! He's got something in his hand that's gonna..."

"Silence Wheeler!" the Rare Hunter ordered, "one more word out of you and say good-bye to your Red-Eyes forever."

"I end my turn by placing this card face down on the field," Yami concluded.

"I predict another Graceful Charity," the Rare Hunter mused as he drew his next card, "image that, I was correct." Akusaa eyes narrowed at the Hunter trying to figure out how he could have known that. "I drew three cards..." The Hunter took three cards from his deck. "And discard two."

'How does he know what card he'll drew next?' thought Yugi as the Rare Hunter sent two cards to the graveyard.

'Excellent, no I have 4 Exodia piece,' thought the Rare Hunter, 'I only need one more to summon the beast that well obliterate Yugi in one attack. He's about to lose he's Dark Magician forever!' "Yugi, your Dark Magician is as good as mine." 'Once I assemble all 5 piece of the all powerful Exodia this hunt well be over and with the help of invisible ink and my x-ray contact lens I'll know exactly what I'll be drawing next.' The Rare Hunter looked at his deck. 'Just what I need the final piece of the puzzle. The Left Arm of the Forbidden One. When I drew it on my next turn I'll summon my most powerful monster and obliterate Yugi.' "Now I think I'll strengthen my defenses. To protect me Gear Golem, the Moving Fortress." A weird looking machine-type monster appeared onto the field. (Def 2200) "Even your Chimera isn't strong enough to get past him. What are you going to do now Yugi? You can't beat me if you can't get by my defenses."

"You maybe protecting your life points with Fortresses and Stone walls Rare Hunter, but in order for you to win this duel you must attack me eventually," Yami informed him, "so what are you waiting for?"

"Oh, you'll find out soon enough Yugi," the Rare Hunter answered, "so go ahead and make your move cause the hunter well strike his prey when the time is right."

"Hey Yugi!" Joey yelled out as he ran forward.

"Huh?" Yami looked at the blonde haired boy in confusion.

"Hold it?" Joey asked, "I can't stand by and watch this. No way. I can't let you lose your Dark Magician for me!" "That's enough Joey," Yami ordered making the blonde to shut his mouth, "you must not reveal the Rare Hunter's strategy. I well defeat him. Your my friend Joey and I'm fighting this duel for you just as you would do for me."

"Your right," Joey agreed.

"Do you remember the time that Weevil threw my Exodia cards into the ocean?" Yami asked as he looked back at the Rare Hunter, "you risked your life to get those cards back. Not because Exodia is the most powerful card in the game, but because I was a friend in need." 'Exodia! That's it! This Rare Hunter is drawing cards until he can assemble all 5 pieces of Exodia!' "I'm on to you! I know your strategy Rare Hunter! Your planning to summon Exodia, the Forbidden One!"

'Ah, no!' the Rare Hunter thought in panic, 'how does he know?'

"Alright!" Joey cheered while Akusaa smiled.

"Thank you, Joey," Yami thanked him, "you allowed me to figure out his strategy without actually telling it to me."

"Ah, yeah!"

"Just because you figured out my strategy doesn't mean you can stop me from succeeding," the Rare Hunter informed Yami, "everyone knows that Exodia is the most powerful creature in Duel Monsters. How well you stop the unstoppable Exodia?"

"True," Yami agreed, "no one has ever defeated Exodia, but in order to win back Joey's Red-Eyes Black Dragon I'll be the first."

Akusaa let out a sigh seeing the man she loves still the same even without his memories.

"Give up Yugi," the Rare Hunter suggested, "my hunt is over."

...My Line...

Not missing you at all review to my 'The Wife and Daughter of the Nameless Pharaoh'.

Have you even watched the Yu-gi-oh series at all? This absolutely makes no sense whatsoever and your so called character screams Mary Sue badly. Atem was sixteen when he died and was not married or had a daughter. The dialogue isn't too bad, but you really need to focus on telling a story here instead of describing her and her daughter's beauty constantly. Try working on adding more details and description to what's going on in the stop switching the POV it's so confusing.

Here's my reply to it cause she disable the PM.

If you think that's a nice way of giving Creative Critism then you need to relook up the word because that was far from it, but thanks for the compliment on my dialogue. To answer your question on if I've seen Yugioh at all then the answer is Yes I have. Now onto the other things. As I have said to Higuchimon, this is MY STORY so therefor I can make Atem's age 20 summers or keep it at 16 summers and if I feel like giving him a daughter or a wife or both then I Fucking well. I'll look to see if I mention Akusaa and Akela's beauty constantly and fix it, but if I see no problem then I'll leave it be. Now if you say my character screams Mary Sue then tell me which one and I'll fix it, but until then it's fine the way it is. Last, but not least I'm not switching POV cause it's in third person, but if it was in...say Akusaa's POV and I switched it to...oh I don't know...Yami's POV then I'll see the problem, but it's not so therefor I don't see a problem. Two last thing I would like to say to you; first finish a sentence before you go onto another one cause I had to think which word came after 'The' before going onto 'Stop' and finally don't like a story then don't read and/or review it.

Have a nice day.

Akela Mutou.
