Ursula's Revenge! Yami no Game!
-That Next Morning-
Scuttle told her the news! She was getting 'hitched' with Eric! But when she came down, he was with someone else…
Sugaroku: So, you WERE right after all…! (hearty laughter)
Eric (coldly): I wish to be wed at sunset…
Grimsby: Eric, these things-
Eric (angry, coldly): I SAID: SUNSET!
(WHACK!) Take a guess who he punched?
Grimsby: Very well… Sunset it is…
Ariel; heartbroken and her dreams shattered fled never looking back. What good was freedom if she didn't have Eric?
Meanwhile, Yugi and his friends knew better… Yugi knew exactly what was going on…
-Port 5:30 p.m. 1 hour until Sunset-
Jounouchi: Something ain't right…
Anzu: I know.
Honda: She's a succubus…
Miho: There's NO WAY Eric-kun could just abandon Ariel!
Anzu: The way he looked at Grimsby earlier; it's like he wanted to kill him…
Honda: She had something to do with Yugi's disappearance!
Anzu: We can't jump to conclusions about that, yet! Besides, if I know Yugi; he's probably figured it out by now…
Jounouchi walks away
Anzu: Where are you going?
Jounouchi: Someone has to find Ariel-chan… I think I may be able to get to her…
Anzu: No way--
Honda: Let him go… Jounouchi's been through this before.
Boatman: ALL ABOARD WHO'S COMING ASHORE!
(boat horn blows)
-Meanwhile on the Boat, Bride's room-
*: Kaiba! Are you sure that little brat Yugi isn't on board?
Kaiba: No chance! Now look, Ursula--
*: I told you, it's Vanessa while I'm in this form! Do you WANT to blow my cover!
Kaiba: Sorry; "VANESSA"! I have my finest Mafia, Security and Killers for Hire on this boat. Even IF Yugi finds out how to get those missing lungs you stole from her back, he'll have no chance in hell of escaping! It's like a floating Alcatraz Island, he'll have nowhere to run or hide!
Vanessa: He better not! Triton's daughter will be mine! And I can finally rule the ocean!
Kaiba: Just don't forget your main objective!
Vanessa: I know! "Kill Yugi then flood the Earth!"
Kaiba: AND?
Vanessa: You'll also be Ruler of the Ocean!
Kaiba (putting on the butler mask): I better be!
-Back at the Port 5:45 45 minutes until Sunset-
Ariel had been crying for who knows who long. Her friends couldn't figure out what to tell her that would make her feel better.
Jounouchi: Ariel!
No answer, just continues to weep
Jounouchi: OY! I'M TALKING TO YOU!
Jounouchi is short circuiting in Anime ways in a Chibi form
-Boat-
Scuttle is flying around when he hears an all too familiar voice but with the wrong owner
Vanessa (sings): everything is working to OUR ultimate design!
(sinister laughs, Throws a knife at Yugi's photo)
Vanessa: Soon we'll have that little mermaid and the Ocean will be OURS!
(evil laughter from Vanessa "Ursula" as she glares in the mirror revealing her true form)
Vanessa (on tape, singing): Everything is working to OUR ultimate design! Soon we'll have that little Mermaid and the ocean will be OURS!
Vanessa: Who the hell was that!
She sees a dark figure with a golden eye on the forehead and gold glowing eyes
Dark Yugi: So I see, now. Using Ariel's voice to control Eric. Against his own will I might add!
Vanessa: YOU!
Dark Yugi: Once Eric hears this little footage, he'll come to his senses. I'll give you a chance to win it.
Vanessa: Give it to me now you little brat!
Dark Yugi: No. You'll have to win it in a DUEL! But this will be… YAMI NO GAME!
Vanessa: Fine, I got about a half hour to kill. What will happen if you lose?
Dark Yugi: I give you the tape, and I won't say anything about our meeting and about your true identity. URSULA UMI KAPPA!
Vanessa: If you lose, you'll be dead!
Dark Yugi: Fine but if you lose, I'll want the stolen lungs back.
-Port-
Scuttle: YO! ARIEL!
Jounouchi: GAH! Talking Seagulls!
Scuttle: I was flying-- (Well of course I was flying) and--
Jounouchi (grabs Scuttle's neck): THIS BETTER BE GOOD!
Scuttle: I saw the kap- KAPPA! And she's singing with a stolen set of pipes! DO YA HEAR WHAT I'M TELLIN' YA? HE'S GONNA MARRY THE UMI KAPPA IN DISGUISE!
Jounouchi: SAY WHAA!
Jounouchi: How the hell are we gonna get to the boat?
A chopper comes down
*: Need a lift?
Jounouchi: Kaiba's little brudda?
*: You want to get to the boat or not?
Jounouchi: Damn straight I we do!
Sebastian: Ariel! Get in that huge bird! Flounder and I will go get yer fadda! The sea king must know about this!
Scuttle: What about me?
Sebastian: Find a way to stall dat wedding!

(Cue Jigsaw's theme)
Vanessa is shocked to find what she sees
.. Aileen Lao, Evil Mermaid and all the other innocent merpeople Ursula imprisoned are supporting Avalon Warrior!Vanessa: How is that possible?
