Eric and Grimsby are playing a game of Duel Monsters while enjoying breakfast.
Eric: Okay, Grim, I got you this time. Shadow Sycamore in the forest filed.
Shadow Sycamore 4 Stars 1400/1900 1820/2470
Grimsby: I do dare say, Eric. You are getting better at this game.
Grimsby LP: 0
Eric LP: 285
Sugaroku: Maybe you could beat my grandson.
(Yugi flies right past them)
Sugaroku: Eric-kun, where are you going?
Eric: I better go quiet Max down. I could hear him barking right now.
-Somewhere on a deserted area of the beach-
Ariel lay there waking up from after escaping the clutches that was Ursula. But, even as she woke up; will Eric love her or will she fall victim to Ursula again.
Ariel: where am I ?
She notices that her fins are gone but now has two lovely legs and has a old rag dress
Sebastian: Now you've done it!
Scuttle: Well look what the catfish dropped in. There's something different about ya. Let me see--
Sebastian (angry): SHE'S GOT LEGS YOU TWAT! JEEZ MON…!
Scuttle: I knew that.
Flounder: She's under some sort of Yami no Game. She's gotta kiss the prince!
Sebastian: And she only got 3 days!
Ariel tries to stand but falls over backwards and into the water Meanwhile Sebastian is shouting profanity at Ursula
Sebastian: I'm gonna march meself down there and--
She grabs him in desperation
Ariel: No! Don't go!
Sebastian: And DON'T you shake yer head at me! Look maybe there's still time, I can go back down there and get yer voice back and--
Saddened eyes just told him everything
Sebastian: And be miserable fer the rest of yer life. *sighs* Alright, alright; I'll help ya. But this is da last time I help ya out of a jam!
Ariel: Oh thank you…! Y
Kisses Sebastian
Sebastian (thinking): What a soft shell I'm turnin' out to be.
Scuttle notices DM cards and picks up the first one he sees which happens to be Armageddon Dragon
Scuttle: Ariel, where did you get this at?
Ariel picks up the DM cards
Scuttle: Ariel, Armageddon Dragon is a dangerous card to keep with you.
Sebastian looks at it
Sebastian: Where did you find it?
Ariel: I found it in my grove the day I rescue the Eric. I don't even know HOW I ended up with it?
Scuttle: I've seen some strange things with these cards. Just be careful.
Flounder: Like what?
Scuttle: From what I understand, humans have been playing this since 5000 years ago. Somethin' went wrong and it was abolished. Now some 4999 years later, Humans started playing these again.
Scuttle: Anyway, Ariel; if you want to look like a human, you got to dress like one.
Sebastian: What do ya think she's wearing right now ya baka!
Max is barking excitedly and spots Ariel. Without even thinking she grabs her cards and makes a run for it (She's never seen a dog up close before) he scared her as she got on a very steep rock and stayed there.
Eric: Max, what are you--
He sees her terrified and tries to quiet Max
Yugi: Eric-kun!
Yugi notices her. Both Ariel and Yugi have a shocked look on their faces
Eric: Sorry about this knuckle head. He's actually quite friendly.
Eric, Yugi and Ariel have an awkward moment, but she seems more drawn to Eric for some reason.
Eric: Have we met before?
*: Hey there baby girl!
A group of thugs corner her
(Cue Jigsaw's music)
Yugi transforms into Dark Yugi through the Sennen Puzzle
Dark Yugi: Eric-kun, get her to safety.
Eric: Okay, but be careful.
Eric gets her to safety
Dark Yugi: You! The one that called her out! GAME TIME!
*: What me?
Dark Yugi: If you can beat me in a fight, I'll let you pass. But if you lose, well… you don't want to know…
Needless to say, he didn't win
Dark Yugi: The Door to Darkness… …has opened…!
Screams of pain are heard
Eric comes back with Ariel, Yugi has returned to normal
Eric: What happened?
Yugi: I blacked out and I found them all like this.
Ariel (thinking): Could he be…? No. It's impossible.
Eric: I think it's safe to say they're dead.
Yugi: I'm sorry, but I we didn't get your name.
Ariel: (inaudible)
Grabs her throat realizing that she can't speak
Eric: I thought you were the one…
Ariel sighs in frustration but doesn't show it
Yugi: I'm Yugi. Muto Yugi. That's Eric.
Ariel: I know who he is…
Eric: Something must have happened to you. You should at my castle. C'mon.
Goes back to the rock to get the DM cards and returns it to him.
Eric: Those were my extra cards. I thought I lost them. But you should keep them. I have plenty.
Shows him Armageddon Dragon
Eric: Armageddon Dragon. The most powerful Dragon class monster. I'd watch that card if I were you. May people in the village want their hands on a card like that.
-Eric's palace-
In another room, Ariel is taking her first bath. While Jounouchi--
Anzu: Don't even think about it Jounouchi!
Jounouchi: Spoilsport.
*: Get this, Gertrude says Eric and Sugaroku's grandson found this girl shipwrecked. Doesn't say a word.
*: When is Gertrude ever right?
*: Sugaroku's grandson says that these punks tried to have their way with her. He said that he blacked out and when he woke up, those punks were burned to a crisp.
*: Speaking of weird happenings, what do you make of those poor girls that had their beds full of leeches?
*: I don't know for sure but that butler Akiba is sure a strange one.
*: He left in a hurry last night.
*: Those poor girls went through hell and terror last night.
-Main Lobby-
Anzu: Miho? Where are you going?
Miho: Shopping.
Anzu: For what, I have no idea?
Miho: I'm getting clothes for that new girl Eric-kun found.
Honda: Can I tag along, Miho-chan?
Anzu: Don't even think about what I think you're going to do!
Honda: You know how careless with cash she is!
Anzu: Point taken. That's why Yugi is going with her.
Honda: Why Yugi-kun?
Anzu: Please, Honda! If you think I'm stupid for a minute, you're sadly mistaken.
Yugi: I can't. I promised Ji-chan I'd cook with Louis.
Jounouchi: YUGI! YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS!
Honda: Have you ever cooked?
Jounouchi: Better than him!
A butcher knife is thrown at Jounouchi but it misses
Jounouchi (angry): WHAT THE HELL! ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME!
Louis: Whaddya think!
Jounouchi: You can stay with that psycho chef, I'm outta here!
Jounouchi heads out the door
Anzu: Idiot…
