Before I start this chapter, I want to let you, guys, know what I am basing the series on.
Yu-Gi-Oh!: Based on the manga through battle city, but events that occurred in the Memory World will be from the anime instead. Since it is several years since Atem went to the afterlife, you will notice some changes. Although I do not directly stated, Yugi and Kaiba do have a partnership of sorts and are still rivals.
Sailor Moon: Manga, except for the last few pages because it was too vague for me.
I will be using the Japanese names for some of the characters and the dub names for other. The observant reader may notice the connection between Japanese names and the world the character is in. That should be all.
Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon or Yu-Gi-Oh. They are owned by their respective mangakas and companies that made their respective anime serieses.
Awkward Situations
As Mr. Muto was finishing his breakfast off and looking at today's paper, the phone broke the silence with its shrill ring. Sitting down the paper, he went over to the phone and picked it up, wondering who it could be. "Hello," he answered.
"Have you seen my daughter, Anzu or your grandson?" A man on the other end of the line asked.
"I haven't, but hold while I see if my grandson came in after I went to bed and is still asleep," said Mr. Muto before putting down the phone and walking to Yugi's room to find his bed did not look like it was slept in. Returning to the phone, he sighed before picking it up. "His bed has not been slept in. I will call his friends to see if they can find out what happened."
"Hopefully, my daughter is with him," said Anzu's father.
"She probably is," said Mr. Muto. "I will let you go so I can call his friends. I can't imagine him not coming home because his father is coming home today."
"His father is? Then that is more reason to worry."
"He hasn't seen his father for quite awhile as you know."
"That I've heard. I will call back later to see if you have heard anything."
The two said their goodbyes and hung up. Mr. Muto sighed before going to get Yugi's friends' phone numbers.
Joey, dressed in a Domino police uniform, was standing before the Chief of Police Callada Arrowcot. He had told Arrowcot the situation with his friend Yugi and that he and Tristen would need the rest of the day off to possible try to find out if he was around. Arrowcot had been in deep thought for awhile. "I will give you two hours off and that includes Taylor as well," said Arrowcot looking at Joey. "I want you to call me two hours from now and give me an update on the situation with your friend. I will then decide if I will give you the rest of the day off."
"Thank you, sir! Arrowcot, sir!" Joey said as he saluted his chief before bowing and leaving.
"So that is a friend of Yamisite's eldest son? Never would guess it," said Arrowcot.
After calling Yugi's friends, Mr. Muto sat down to think, but was interrupted when Yugi's mother appeared. "Why are you sitting around?"
"Yugi is not home from last night."
"He has never done this before," she said with a slight worry in her voice.
"That is what I thought when Anzu's father called and said she had not returned. Neither would leave without saying anything unless something major happens. At least, I should be happy that his friends are going to try to find him. They know him best."
"At least, they have been with him the most time."
"That is true," said Mr. Muto as he rose from his seat. "I should go and open the shop. I can't make an honest living worrying about Yugi."
Mr. Muto was walking towards the steps when he heard the back door opening before closing with a thud. "Dad! Sorwan! I am home," said a man downstairs.
"He's home early," she said as she went to Mr. Muto's side.
"That is true," said Mr. Muto. "Want to go downstairs and inform him what is going on?"
"Sure."
The two went downstairs and to see Yugi's father with his red and yellow spiky hair. "It is good to see you two again," he said, "but where is Yugi?"
"He is not here, Yamisite," said Mr. Muto calling his son by name. "His friends are out looking for him."
"Why?" Yamisite asked.
"We don't know why," said Yugi's mother. "This is not usual for him."
"Sorwan," said Yamisite calling his wife and mother of his son by her given name, "what else can we do?"
"All we can do is wait," said Sorwan.
Tristen, Joey, and Ryou Bakura had checked everywhere where they thought Yugi and Anzu would go to, but found they were nowhere. As they were brainstorming ideals of where the two could be, Joey remembered that Yugi had his duel disk modified so that he could be track if he disappeared. They hopped on a bus that would take them near to Kaiba Corp and Joey took out his phone to call Arrowcot. When he got off the phone, Joey told Tristen they were given another hour off and that Arrowcot wanted them to report any new developments. When they got off the bus, they went inside and Joey talked to the receptionist. Then Joey returned to Ryou and Tristen to wait to see if Kaiba would help them. After a few minutes, Mokaba Kaiba appeared and came over to the threesome. "My brother is setting it up. He is also worried about his rival and partner," said Mokaba before turning around and looking over his shoulder. "Come with me."
It was noon when three high school girls walked into the Crown Arcade and curious at why Rei wanted them to come. They walked over to their usual booth and wait for Rei and chatted while waiting. After a few minutes since they sat down, their attention was drawn to two people who were standing near the Sailor V game. One was a young woman, but it was the young man with tri-colored spiky hair that was sitting down at the game. He put a coin in and started to play while the young woman watched. As they were staring at him Rei came up to them, sitting down and laying a letter in the middle of the table. "Read it."
The three high school girls read it and one girl, the one with blond hair tied with a red ribbon, was grinning with plans. When they finished reading it, they began to bombard Rei with questions, but Rei could only a few questions. After they had no more questions, they began to watch the young man playing Sailor V and the young woman with him, now that they knew that those two were the last ones to see Serena and Darien. It was several minutes until the young man rose and began to walk towards them with the young woman following him. The girls all noticed that the young man had purple eyes. "That was interesting," said the young man.
"You were playing it for awhile," said the girl with blond hair tied back with a red ribbon. "How far did you get?"
"Pretty far, I can only guess," said the young man, "but I probably would have beaten it if I was more focused."
The high school girls all dropped their mouths at what the young man said. However, Rei was the first to recover and speak. "You two should introduce yourselves and I shall have the others introduce themselves after you."
"I am Yugi Muto," said Yugi.
"I am Anzu Mazaki," said Anzu standing behind Yugi.
"Minako Aino," said the girl with blond hair tied back with a red ribbon.
"Makato Kino," said the girl with brown hair.
"Ami Mizuno," said the girl will blue hair.
Finished with introductions, they went to order their food and the girls began to talk about how they met Serena. However, they told Yugi and Anzu a few things in quite voices about the Silver Millennium and them being Sailor Senshi, once they were sure that no one would overhear them. Then when Yugi and Anzu heard this, both nodded before speaking a few things about their world. As Yugi began talking about Duel Monsters, the four high school girls became interested in it and wanted to learn. After much pestering, Yugi agreed, but only if they could go somewhere that people would be unlikely to find them dueling. The girls agreed to the condition and they left.
Joey, Tristen, and Ryou stepped off the elevator and followed Mokaba to a room where Kaiba was sitting. "Don't think I am doing this favor for no reason," Kaiba said. "He still is carrying around those four pro-types."
"Yeah, whatever Kaiba. We could have guessed that was your reason," said Joey. "Me and Tristen don't have all day to waste. Chief Arrowcot gave us a limited amount of time off. So, will ya hurry up?"
"This takes skill that no mutt can even have," Kaiba replied as he started working on his computer, but then he eyes widen in shock and he then whispered. "How can that be?"
"What is it, big brother?" Mokaba asked.
"His duel disk is not on this earth, but I don't know where he is," said Kaiba.
"What do you mean, rich boy?" Joey asked.
"I am getting a signal from his duel disk, but....," said Kaiba as he trailed off in disbelief.
"But what?" Joey asked.
"My computer...it can't pinpoint his location," said Kaiba.
"That doesn't help us at all," said Joey.
"If my computer can detect his duel disk, then I could make contact with him," said Kaiba regaining his composure before doing something to his computer.
"Oh, that's right. You gave him that special duel disk with a built-in phone," said Mokaba.
Kaiba nodded before he finished working on his computer. "We shall see if it will work and find out where he is," said Kaiba as they began to wait for the computer to hook up with Yugi's duel disk.
Yugi was looking around at the trees that surrounded them. He was impressed that the temple, that the girl Rei lived at, had this many trees to make it appear as a miniature forest. As he placed his backpack down, Yugi unzipped it pulling out the four duel disks that he had as well as pulling out the Duel Monster cards that he was carrying. The four girls were watching him with the keenness of a hawk. "I have about enough cards to make four and a half decks," said Yugi as he began to spread out the Duel Monster cards before him. "For your deck, you need to make sure you have magic and trap cards as well as monster cards in your deck. It is best to have a balance between those two card types. I will give you the rulebook with the Battle City rules in it."
"Shouldn't they start out with the rules Pegasus had for the game originally?" Anzu asked.
"All duel disks are not set up for those rules," said Yugi as he noticed that the four high school girls were confused. "The rules I learned to play the game are indeed easier, but are no longer the rules that are used by the duel disks."
"What are duel disks?" Ami asked.
"They are these," said Yugi picking up one of duel disks. "In our world, we use these to display holograms of the monsters and play the game. It is quite interesting to see it. Many people were surprised by it when it first started. You can start going through the cards I have and start picking the one you want. Since this is Battle City rules, you need to pay attention what level you monster is. If you have too many high level monsters, you will not be able to make any headway towards winning. Just ask, if you want some more explanation."
The four girls all nodded before they started to look at the Duel Monster cards. Each time when they came across a card that was different, they would ask Yugi who would answered without fail. While the four girls were building their decks, Yugi and Anzu began to talk about their world and their conversation began to slowly centered itself about Atem and what he would think about their current situation. As the conversation began to find itself coming to an end, Yugi began to hear a beeping noise. Looking to see if there was any cause for it before looking at his duel disk and Yugi realized it was his duel disk. Taking off his duel disk and flipping it over, Yugi opened a compartment that held two earphones and the four girls all looked up. "What are you doing?" Ami asked.
"My duel disk has been modified to have it so the maker of the duel disks can call me. I never thought it would be able to get a signal to receive the call," said Yugi as he put one of the earphones on and pressed a button inside the compartment. "I am here."
"Where are you? My computer can't locate you," yelled Kaiba through the earphone causing Yugi to wince.
"Turn the volume down or I will go deaf. I am surprised that you are able to contact me because I am in another world," said Yugi.
"Another world?! Then is Anzu with you?" Joey asked through the earphone.
"Yes," said Yugi taken aback. "Then I must ask you something. Has grandpa have any visitors?"
"He didn't say anything about any visitors," said Joey.
"I guess I should have written down directions to the game shop for them," said Yugi as the four girls looked at him knowing who he meant by "them".
"Who are you talking about?" Joey asked.
"Well, the short story is that me and Anzu switched places with two from this world that we are in," said Yugi as he motioned to Anzu to put on the other earphone. "I gave them a letter that would explain everything to grandpa. I also gave them directions to the game shop, but obviously they are lost since you are calling me."
"I guess the Chief will give us more time off," said Tristen in the background.
"Could you tell us more about the two that are lost in Domino?" Joey spoke.
"They should stand out in our world," said Yugi.
"Stand out in which way?"
"You will understand when you see them," said Yugi before casting a glance at the four high school girls. "I would try to find them soon because their friends are the people who I am with in this world and they probably would like it if they were found soon."
"We will leave and go search," said Joey. "Bakura, do you have anything to say?"
"Nope," said Ryou in the background.
"I want more information out of you about how you got there," said Kaiba.
"You would probably wouldn't believe it," said Yugi with a grin, "Mr. I-don't-believe-in-shadow-magic."
"You better still have those pro-types when you come back," said Kaiba before terminating the link.
"That was interesting," said Yugi as he took off his earphone.
"What were you talking about?" Rei asked.
"It appears that Serena and Darien have not found my grandfather," said Yugi pausing before continuing. "Don't worry. My friends are now looking for them."
"Darien is not one to get lost," said Ami.
"Then why did they get lost?" Rei said.
"That is something I think that only they would know," said Yugi, "but I have something to ask you four about your friend. Why is your friend in so much grief? She started to cry after saying the key me and Anzu saw before we left our world had something to do with this world."
"Luna and Artemis," said Minako with downcast eyes.
"What about those two names?" Yugi asked.
"Well, the short story is that Luna and Artemis are two talking cats from the time of the Silver Millennium. They were the ones who found us. Luna stayed at Serena and Serena grew close to her," said Makato. "From what we were told, both were injured and couldn't talk. We haven't seen them since."
"Then I am assuming that you are assuming they are dead," said Yugi before being answered by nodding heads. "Well, I know a few things about assumptions. I know for one they can only be correct when backed up with hard solid facts. Another thing assumptions are not what they seem."
"You sound like you are talking from experience," said Rei.
"I am," said Yugi. "I will tell you more about myself, if you can show you understand duel monsters."
"Why that condition?" Makato asked.
"Oh, you will understand later," said Yugi. "Do make sure your decks are ready."
It was only an hour after the noon hour and they were still lost. Darien had went off to find a map, but returned without one. "What do you suggest?" He asked her.
"We should have had the directions written down," said Serena.
"Really, I didn't think I would forget," he replied.
They sat in silence as they watched what was going on in the park around them. Few things caught their eye, but a young man dressed in a police officer uniform that was bobbing his head did catch their attention. As they watched him, the young man with dirty blond hair saw them and started to run towards them. "You, two, are not from around here, are ya?" He asked stopping in front of them.
"No," said Darien. "Why do you ask?"
"To make a long story short, I was searching for my friend the whole morning only to discover he is not in this world any more," said the man. "Then I am searching for two who he and the girl who he hasn't admitted to loving, but should; switched with."
"You're friends with Yugi?" Serena asked.
"That makes things far more simpler. I'm Joey," said Joey, "and you, two, are?
"Serena."
"Darien."
"Then I shall call everyone and then I can lead you where you are supposed to end up in the first place," said Joey.
As Joey was about to start calling everyone, Darien and Serena saw something in the sky. "What is that?" Darien asked.
Joey turned around and saw what was in the sky. The thing was some monster of some sort, but it was similar to a duel monster. However, on the other hand, whatever it was in the sky could be seen through. "Looks like rich boy is going to be having his hands full," said Joey.
"What do you mean?" Serena asked.
"People are going to blame that creature or whatever on a malfunctioning duel disk and the rich boy is Seto Kaiba, president of Kaiba Corp, the company that created the duel disk," said Joey.
"Oh," said Serena.
"Anyway, I better get calling because I have a lot of people to call," said Joey before he pulled out a cell phone a began dialing numbers while Serena and Darien continued to look to the sky.
Yugi was impressed with how fast the four girls were learning duel monsters and when they had all finished dueling each other, Yugi agreed to tell them the reason for him saying what he did earlier. He began by telling them that he had a brother named Yuedren and a sister named Shiza, but they were kidnapped and for many years he thought, along with his family, that they were dead....
Flashback.....
"Son," said a man towards Yugi, "I want you to see if you can use your shadow magic yet."
"Why now, Dad?" Yugi asked.
"I want to see if you are ready to learn more about the Sharks," said his father.
"Then let's go where no one can find out," said Yugi.
"I agree," his father said before leading him deep into a forest. They stopped and then he turned around and looked at his son. "This should be good. Now bring out your pearl and unseal your shadow magic with your blood."
Yugi nodded and made a fist with his right hand. When he opened his fist, he held a blue pearl and ran his finger along the edge of the dagger that his father was holding. After removing his bleeding finger from the edge of the dagger, he placed it on the pearl and rubbed his blood all over the pearl. The pearl began to glow and his blood began to turn silver, healing his bleeding finger. "Now what?"
"Use your shadow magic! Do as much as you like! I'll make sure your shadow magic does not go out of control," he said before wiping the dagger off and sheathing it.
Yugi nodded and began to do many things with his shadow magic, but as he started to feel his control over it become lesser, he saw his father jump in front of him and, before he could act, his father punch him hard in the stomach causing him to stumble backwards. As he fell to the ground, he began to feel light headed and then blackness encroach on him.
When he woke, his father was sitting next to him, watching him. "I put a new seal on your pearl," he said with a smile. "Now, you can bring it out and use your shadow magic for five minutes, ten if you around those who are the closes to you."
"I must bring it out again," said Yugi.
"Why, my son?"
"I thought I felt his shadow magic."
"Then you can, but only for a minute."
Yugi made a first again and open it to reveal the blue pearl. His father brought out the dagger again. Then Yugi ran his finger against the dagger again to make it bleed. As the pearl began to glow, a smile came across Yugi's face and soon tears. With the confirmation of who's shadow magic he had felt, he closed his eyes and made a fist with his hand that held the pearl. "It was his. Yuedren. It was him."
"Yuedren's alive?" He asked with wide eyes in shock.
"He's the only one to have shadow magic like that."
"Then your mother should deserve to know," he said as he scooped Yugi up into his arms. "I will take you home through the back ways."
End of Flashback
"Now do you understand my statement?" Yugi asked the four girls before him.
They all nodded. "But why haven't I heard about this?" Anzu asked.
"I was going to tell you at the legend, but we got interrupted," said Yugi. "I am glad that I am able to sense shadow magic, but only when my pearl is out."
"Then what can you do with your shadow magic besides sense others'?" Ami asked.
"I can summon some monsters that will obey me. I can do other things with it, but I don't," replied Yugi.
"Then do you know the reason for you, guys, being here?" Mokoto asked.
"The King of Peace never elaborated on why we were being sent here except that monsters from our respective worlds were crossing over," said Yugi. "I don't think monsters from our world can be easily defeated the same way as the monsters from here."
"This King of Peace fellow sent you here and knows something about these monsters," said Rei.
"That probably sums it up," said Yugi as he rose to his feet. "Maybe I should duel one of you girls."
"You would beat because they are just beginners," said Anzu.
"Beginners need to learn to take defeat with grace or else we will end up with another person who doesn't know when to lose," said Yugi.
"I understand," said Anzu, "but they should taste victory for awhile."
As Yugi began to open his mouth, the four girls began to look around antsy. "What is the mater?"
"Trouble," said Minako before looking at Yugi and Anzu. "The two of you can follow us, but try to watch from the shadows. Maybe that King of Peace wants you to help us out."
"You could be right," said Rei, "but shouldn't we take care of the trouble."
"Yes," said Minako before all of the girls transformed and ran off to where the trouble was with Yugi and Anzu following them several paces behind.
On top of a roof, Yugi and Anzu stood as they watched the Sailor Senshi fight the odd looking monster. The monster looked somewhat like a duel monster, but not exactly. "Do you think you should aid them?" Anzu asked.
"Not quite yet," said Yugi with his eyes on the monster. "I want to find out more about this monster. Remember I only have five minutes that I can aid them."
"I remember you saying that," she replied, "but don't you think they are starting to need some help right about now?"
"I guess so," he said without taking his eyes off the battle taking place in the streets. "I believe I do know what to do, but I will need them know and the only way I can do that is through my dragon." He closed his eyes. "My dragon get ready to come out on my command."
//Your plan sounds solid. I will be ready. I will come out when you bring out your pearl// said the dragon, that Yugi was talk to, to Yugi.
"Thank you, my dragon," said Yugi.
"Who are you talking to?" Anzu asked with wide eyes.
"My dragon," said Yugi, "who is a spirit beast. I can talk to him even though my pearl is sealed, but it is weaker. He is probably the only secret that I was able to keep from Atem. I probably should stop talking and go help them out."
"You should," said Anzu.
Yugi made a first with his right hand and when he opened it, his pearl was in his hand and a sky blue dragon appeared behind him. As soon as the dragon appeared, a blue and purple glow surrounded Yugi and Anzu just stood in wonder.
While Yugi and Anzu were up on the rooftop of a building, the Sailor Senshi were finding that their luck was very sour. They needed Sailor Moon. However, they knew it was kinda of impossible for them to have her come to their aid. They were starting to lose hope when they heard a roar of a dragon inside their heads. //My master wanted you to know that he has a plan, but you need to distract the monster for at least three minutes while he prepares// the dragon said to the each of the Sailor Senshi inside their heads.
"Did you hear a voice in your head?" Mars asked the others even though everyone was quite busy with the monster before them.
"Yes," Venus replied as her chain was wrapped around the monster. "Any plan that the master of that voice has would be more than welcome."
They kept fighting until a dragon roared, causing them to look up to see a sky blue dragon in the air glowing purple. Then the dragon dove at the monster, destroying it with one attack. Dumbfounded, the Sailor Senshi just stood watching the dragon as it began to ascend back to the roof it had appeared from. After several minutes ticked by, the dragon, without its purple glow, return to the skies and glided down to the street below to land before the still-dumbfounded senshi. From behind the dragon's wing, Yugi appeared with a smile on his face, but he looked somewhat exhausted. "What do you think of my dragon, the Blue Twin Dragon of North LV 5?" Yugi asked the senshi.
"Very interesting," said Mercury.
"Is that all you have to say? I see I probably stun you silent by having my dragon to talk to you," said Yugi as Anzu came to his side after stepping off his dragon.
"Your d-d-dragon talked to us?!" Mars asked, shocked.
"Yes, my dragon is able to do that. I will be keeping him out per his request," said Yugi shrugging. "He has concerns about me."
"We should get going before unwanted attention comes to us," said Venus.
"I guess that would be right," said Yugi. "We can ride my dragon to get out of here quicker."
"I agree to it," said Venus as she looked to the other senshi to see them nodding with her.
"My dragon should be able to carry you all, but make sure you hold on real good until he starts gliding in the sky," said Yugi before mounting his dragon and pulled Anzu on to the dragon.
Mars was the first to go up to the dragon followed by Mercury, Jupiter, and then Venus. Once all four senshi were on the dragon, crowed as it was, Yugi gave the command and the dragon leapt into the air before letting out a roar that crossed into the other world.
Ugh, this was hard to write. I think I will go back and give this a quick edit before posting it and see if I can figure out how to take care of some of the out-of-character dialogue in this chapter. Also, my dear readers, I do know where I want to go with this story in general, but getting there from here to the end will be tough and this story could go on HIATUS if I find this story not worth the effort. Criticism is welcomed and wanted especially if it can help me get some of these characters back into character.
