Yami won his semi against Joey and now as the finals got underway, Yugi and Yami faced off against each other. The two brothers played their best cards, knowing what will be on the line.
Down to 200 life points each, Yami drew his last card and grinned before saying, "I place the Dark Magician, in attack mode and then I play magic formula. Now my magician attack Curse of Dragon."
Dark Magician attacked Yugi's monster, destroying it, causing Yugi's life points to drop to zero.
"The winner of the Duellist Kingdom final is Yami Mutou! And he will later go on to face Maximillion Pegasus." Croquet said.
As Yami and Yugi walked to the upper galley they meet up with the gang. "Good job Yami!" Joey said. "Sorry Yugi, maybe next time."
"Yeah, maybe next time but the better duellist won this time and good luck later bro, we will be cheering you all the way." Yugi said to Yami.
Tea smiled as she walked over to Yami and said, "Congratulation, my love."
Yami hugged Tea's waist while Tea did the same around his neck and he leaned down to meet her lips to share a passionate kiss.
"I love you, Yami." Tea said breathless.
"I love you too, Tea." Yami said before giving her another kiss.
Yami is one heck of a kisser. Tea thought, blushing
She looks so cute when she is blushing and is an amazing kissing. Yami thought as he gave a small chuckled to his red face girlfriend.
The three boys take one look at their friends making out before they left to give them some time alone.
"You look beautiful." Yami gave her a little peck.
"You're not bad looking yourself." Tea giggled softly as she blushed even harder.
"Don't you mean handsome, love?" Yami held her closer to him. "Admit, Tea, I am the most handsome man in the world!" He said playfully.
Tea pouted as she bit her lip. "Refusing are we?" Yami asked playfully. "Well I know one way, to get you to talk, my Tea?"
Tea looked at him in disbelieved thinking, yeah right.
Yami started to kiss her neck moving all the way up to her jaw, enjoying the sound of Tea's moan before silencing it by kissing her lips and after two minutes they parted leaving the two breathless.
"Alright, I admit, you are the most handsome man I know." Tea admitted, laying her face on Yami's chest.
Yami gently placed his hand onto Tea's chin, to lift it up while saying, "And I am lucky because I have the most beautiful girl on Earth as my girl."
"Lady and Gentlemen!" Croquet said to the audience standing on the upper deck. "The winner of the Duellist Kingdom will challenge the creator Pegasus. The wagers are as followed, if Yami wins he will receive the title of the King of Games, one freed soul, three million dollars and the millennium eye while if Mr. Pegasus wins, he will receive the loser's puzzle and soul. Now let the duel began."
Yami and Pegasus drew their six cards and said, "Let Duel!"
A bright light flashed from Pegasus's left eye engulfing the whole arena into the shadow realm.
"Yami!" Tea yelled as she saw the whole arena turn black.
The gang ran swiftly towards the engulf arena, hoping that Yami was okay.
"What have you done Pegasus?" Yami roared.
"It's the shadow realm; I thought it would be the most suitable place for you to lose your soul and your puzzle." Pegasus laughed loudly.
He activated the Mystic Box to replace his Dark Magician inside of Relinquished with Pegasus's Jigen Bakudan.
"I pass!" Pegasus said after he drew a card.
"I activate Brain Control to take control of Relinquished" Yami said "including the Jigen Bakudan monster equipped to it."
He then activates Dark Magic Ritual. Yami tributes Dark Magician and Jigen Bakudan to Ritual Summon Magician of Black Chaos in Attack Mode
(2800 ATK / 2600 DEF)
(NOTE: Yami could tribute Relinquished a 1 star monster with Dark Magician a 7 star monster)
Yami sets a card then sets a monster to end his turn.
At the end of Yami's turn, Relinquished returns under Pegasus' control.
Pegasus summoned Thousand-Eyes Idol in Attack Mode (0 ATK / 0 DEF)
"I activate Polymerization; fusing Relinquished and Thousand-Eyes Idol to form Thousand-Eyes Restrict in attack mode." Pegasus said.
(0 ATK / 0 DEF)
Pegasus tried to equip Magician of Black Chaos to Thousand-Eyes Restrict but Yami revealed his face down card, Kuriboh, and then activated multiply, to create 1,000 Kuribohs.
Since Pegasus already activated his Thousand-Eyes Restricts absorption power, he is forced to absorb all 1,000 of Yami's Kuribohs
(Thousand-Eyes Restrict: 0 → 300 ATK / 0 → 200 DEF).
The 1,000 Kuribohs explode all around Pegasus's Thousand-Eyes Restrict. Because his monster self-destructed, Yami loses Life Points equal to the ATK points of Kuriboh
(Yami: 400 → 100 Life Points).
The explosions blind all 1,000 Eyes of Thousand-Eyes Restrict, thereby negating his ability to prevent opponent's monsters from attacking.
Yami smiled knowing that this final attack, would win him the duel and said, "Magician of Black Chaos attack and destroy Thousand-Eyes Restrict."
(Pegasus: 600 → 0 Life Points).
Pegasus stood there flabbergasted at his resent defeat and watched as his monster degenerate in front of him.
"Guys, look the black doom is disappearing!" Tea pointed out as they stood on the metal path way connecting the arena to the rest of the mansion.
The black doom disappeared relieving a tried Yami and a shock Pegasus. Yami turned around and gave happy smile before collapsing.
Joey saw this and rushed to catch Yami before he hit the ground.
"I did it, Gramps is finally free." Yami said tiredly since the shadow realm took a lot of strength out of him.
"That means that you won the three million, to pay for my sister's operation!" Joey jumped, letting Yami spilt out of his hands.
"Joey!" Tea yelled as she ran to catch Yami in her arms.
"Time to go get my money." Joey said as he turned to where Pegasus was standing and saw him running away.
"Hey, he is escaping!" Joey pointed out before he and Tristan jumped the arena and ran after him.
Joey, been the quicker one manage to jump Pegasus and tackle him to the ground. After a few moments Tristan came and together they held Pegasus from behind like two policemen, holding a prisoner and escorting him upstairs with Tea supporting a tried Yami and Yugi doing the same thing.
"I believe you have something for me." Yami said as he indicted to Tea he could stand by himself.
A flash came from his Millennium Eye as Pegasus muttered something to himself. "Celica, I lost you forever now, and there is no way of getting you back now." As silent tears, came out of his right eye. "I am a man of my word, your grandfather is free." He said loudly.
"Yeah, now where is the money?" Joey said happy that Gramps was freed.
"Right here, now let him go!" Croquet said from behind Joey, Pegasus and Tristan.
Joey and Tristan released the silver hair man as Croquet handed the money to Yami.
"Here Joey it's yours now." Yami smiled as he held it out.
"Thanks Yami. it means a lot to me and my sister" Joey cried happily as he took it.
Croquet interrupted the happy moment when he said. "If there are no other items to give away. there is a boat waiting by the pier to take you five, home."
"Not till I get the eye!" Yami said as he approached Pegasus.
Pegasus, put up no resistance, for he himself made the wager and stood still as Yami's puzzle glowed and his hand position over his left eye drawing out the eye.
Pegasus took a deep breath, as the golden eye that he had grown accustom to, removed from his socket and now in the hand of the ancient pharaoh. Blood dripped slowly from the empty hole as he collapsed into the arms of his right hand man.
"It is time to go, Master Pegasus needs to rest." Croquet said before he walked away with Pegasus in his arms.
"How do we know if he kept his word with Gramps soul?" Tristan asked.
"Even if he isn't we have the eye so we can return it to him." Yami said.
"What's next for the King of Games?" Tristan asked as the gang started to walk outside.
"A date with his queen" Yami hugged Tea's waist.
Once they reach Domino the gang went to the Domino hospital to release grandpa and go home waiting for the next journey to begin.
By the start of the next term news of Yami's win spread thought the Domino area, like wildfire and every one wanted to duel him, including the one Seto Kaiba.
Yami became increasing popular with the girls and Tea wasn't jealous any more, for she knew Yami had eyes for her and only her.
Saturday Evening
Tea stood patiently at the Domino Station wearing a strapless purple shirt, with a black jacket and jeans shorts alone with black shoes.
Yami ran as fast as he could to the Station and stopped when he saw Tea, in deep thought and walked up from behind her to embrace her in a hug.
"Sorry Tea, for been late." Yami whispered.
Tea was surprise by the sudden hug but clam down when she heard Yami's voice and turned to see him wearing black jeans, and a black sleeveless shirt along with his puzzle around his neck.
"Where have you been? I was starting to think you were duelling and forgot about our date." Tea said.
"Tea, you are more important to me than anything else. I love you." Yami said before kissing her.
"I love you too, my pharaoh." Tea said before interlocking her lips with Yami's.
As they parted they walked down the stairs holding hands to the first destination.
