Chapter Three: Teresa Vs. Rare Hunter #1

Yugi, Teresa, and Beth were close to Yugi's home when a cloaked figure came and stepped in front of them. Yugi immediately furrowed his eyebrows and watched him closely while Beth and Teresa stood eyeing him as well.

" Which one of you is the holder of the Purple Eyes Silver Dragon card?" he asked the girls.

" Who wants to know?" Beth asked placing her hand on her hip.

" I am a rare hunter under my master's orders I'm to take the rarest card you posses to help his plans." the rare hunter said his smile huge.

A flash of light appeared next to Beth as she and Teresa covered their eyes. After the light dissappeared a taller version of Yugi stood his arms crossed. His red violet eyes were narrower and more mature looking. His hair was even spiker.

" Why don't you leave before you regret it Rare hunter." he suggested his eyes showing his distaste.

The rare hunter laughed and activated his duel disk.

" I don't think so. I want to please my master by taking that card then I'll duel you next Yugi and take possecion of your puzzle." the hunter replied.

Teresa took out her duel disk and placed it on her arm activating it.

" So you think you can come up to me and demand to take my card in a duel. Then you say you're going to take an item that my friend holds dear. You're going to regret it. I'll make sure you won't succed." Teresa said as she placed her deck into the duel disk.

The rare hunter laughed.

" Hahahaha you think you can beat me? Well then let's get started." he said also placing his deck into the disk.

" Let's Duel!" Both yelled sending the hologram projectors out.

Inside Kaiba Crop a little boy with long dark blue hair stood shocked at the satellite monitors for a moment before leaving. He ran down the hall to an office.

"Seto! Seto we have a problem." the boy said his eyes looking at a brown haired blue eye man who sat in his chair typing on his laptop.

" What is it Mokuba?" Seto asked the boy.

" Four Duel disks have been activated before the torunament." Mokuba said.

Seto looked at the boy before closing his laptop.

" Let's see who these four people are." he said walking out as his coat billowed behind him.

Inside the satelitte monitor Kaiba saw that two disk have already came offline and two still remained.

" Zoom in on the duel disks I want to know who's responible for the early activation." Seto said to the people in the room.

He saw a purple cloaked figure dueling a girl wearing a blue jean miniskirt with black boots and black shirt. Her brown hair pulled into a ponytail.

" The duel is between a rare hunter and Teresa Williamson." said a pink short haired girl typing at her keyboard.

Seto stood his face to the screen.

" Come Mokuba let's see how this Duel fairs. I'm curious as to what one of my guests can do." he said.

Both duelists drew thier cards. The rare hunter went first.

" I place one card face down on the field and a monster in defense mode ending my turn." he said his smile never leaving his face.

Teresa furrowed her eyebrows thinking of what his strategy was.

' He has a monster in defense mode face down and a magic or trap card. If I attack he'll activate his card. If I don't who knows what will happen. I'll play it safe for now.' she thought drawing a card.

" Alright. I place one card face down on the field and Mystic Elf in defense mode and I end my turn." she said playing her cards.

On the sideline Yami stood watching.

"Looks like they're both playing it safe. That rare hunter has to have something up his sleeve."he said to himself.

"I agree Yami. This duel won't turn out well if Teresa can't figure out his strategy soon." Yugi replied standing next to Yami in spirit form.

"We'll just have to see what happens Yugi." he replied.

The duel went on for a few more minutes the rare hunter's life points were down to 2000 while Teresa's was at 800. Teresa had two monsters on the feild as well as a magic or trap card and the Rare hunter only had a monster on the feild.

' If I dont do something now that guy will get my dragon. I can't let that happen. Come on deck I trust in you please help me.' Teresa thought as she drew a card.

" Come on Teresa I know you can beat this guy." Beth called.

Yugi looked at Beth for a second before turning back to the Duel.

Teresa looked at her card and smiled.

' Yes just the card I needed.'

"Alright rare hunter say bye bye to your monster and life points." she said

" Heh, as if you can win." the hunter scoffed.

" First I activate my magic card mage's staff which adds an extra 200 points to my Pharaoh's magician's attack points making him 2200. Now my magician attack his giant solider of stone to clear his life points." Teresa said as her monster attacked.

The Pharaoh's Magician had blue hair and purple eyes. It wore a white robe with a purple sash, and was holding the gold staff with the eye of horus on the top. The giant soilder of stone was destroyed with one swipe.

" Now I scarifice my Preist's Apprentice to summon my Pharaoh's Gaurdian number one." she added as her monster appeared.

Her monster had dark brown hair to it's knees and wore the clothing of the Medgai. Tattoo markings were placed upon it's right cheek ending slightly under the green eye.

" Your new monster only has only 1700 attack points. It will leave me with only 300 points." the rare hunter replied chuckling.

Yami smiled knowing what was going to happen.

" Not quite rare hunter. Pharaoh's Gaurdians number one and two have their own special ablity. For Guardian number one for each monster with Pharaoh's in the name in hand, deck or grave yard gives it a boost of 100 extra attack points." Yami said to the hunter.

" I couldn't have said it better myself Yugi. He's right I happen to have six cards with that name Pharaoh in them giving her 600 extra points. That makes her 2200 points strong. Now Guardian attack him directly!" Teresa replied.

The monster attacked the rare hunter and depleated his life points to zero.

Seto and Mokuba stood not far watching the Duel.

" Seems like the duel turned out better than I thought. Looks like this tournament is going make Pegasus' look like a joke." he said to Mokuba as they left the room.

" That card she played was amazing."Mokuba said his smile still on his face.

" Yes, that's why I choose her and her friend to join in the torunament. They both have strong cards and are on par with Yugi and myself in the ranks." Seto replied.

" If they're in the top ranks like you and Yugi then why are they second after Bandit keith?" Mokuba asked looking up at his brother.

Seto looked down at Mokuba for a moment before looking straight ahead again.

" That was before Bandit Keith was reveled as a cheater. Not to mention in a duel before him they came in at a draw."

" Oh. Then that explains it." Mokuba said.

"I'm intersted in seeing what they can do in the tournament tomorrow." Seto said before turning on his heel to walk away.

Mokuba looked at Yugi and the girls for a moment before following Seto.

(A/N: I'm not making Kaib a jerk like he is in the dub. In the sub he's more a nice guy and more likeable that way. But he is still going to be a little mean to Joey.)

Teresa deactived her duel disk and turned to Beth and Yugi. When she saw Yugi she blinked a few times.

" That was great Teresa you beat that jerk."Beth said.

" Thanks Beth." she said before looking at the taller Yugi.

He smiled a soft smile.

" I agree. You're a good duelist." he said to her.

" Um... thanks. Um Yugi did you just grow durring the duel or am I imagining things?" Teresa replied.

The taller Yugi chuckled.

" I'm Yami the spirit of the Millenium Puzzle Yugi put together." Yami said.

"So that expalins it." She said softly.

Beth looked at her and Yami.

" What do you mean that explains it?" Beth asked.

" The bright flash of Light before me and the guy dueled." Teresa answered.

" Yes, that is what happens either when Yugi is about to duel or when we feel like something important is going on." Yami responded.

" So you sort of take over Yugi's body. That's kind of creepy." Beth said earning her a whap upside the head by Teresa.

" That hurt T." Beth whined.

" Well that was rude." Teresa added.

Yami gave a small laugh before turning on his heel.

" It was nice meeting you two. Maybe we'll duel eachother in the tournament." he said turning his head over his shoulder at them.

" You bet." Teresa said smiling.

" Good night."Yami added before walking towards the small game shop ahead.

"Night!" Beth and Teresa called to his retreating back.

" Come on let's get back to the hotel before we run into more of those guys." Beth suggested.

" Yeah." Teresa agreed.
