Next Chapter is here, YAY! Sorry if there was a delay… I think there was from this chapter to the last one. Everyone one wants me everywhere and I haven't been able to sit down and enjoy the brilliance of writing in peace. So I give you this chapter before I go outside to watch the meteors in three and a half hours.
Chapter 6
Blue Eyes VS The World
November 6th, 2011
5:30 am
Yugi and Joey sat at the table after the food came to their room. As they sat, they ate and chatted about the usual.
"Hey are you, you know?" Joey asked Yugi.
"Know what?" Yugi questioned.
Joey gestured towards the couch. "With someone, with an item, in a relationship with someone who will not be named?"
"Ah yes, yes I am." Yugi smiled happily.
Joey grinned. "One step closer to being a man."
"Who's one step closer to being a man? Certainly not you Wheeler." An annoyed male asked.
"Kaiba we will talk when you have had your morning coffee." Joey teased.
"You didn't answer my question." Kaiba demanded to Joey.
"Well Kaiba you see there are some things that should be spoken before coffee and some things that should be spoken after coffee. Talking about guy stuff should be done after coffee."
"If you look at the counter top, you will notice that there is something missing from last night. The coffee machine is in my room, I brought it there before I went to bed."
"So,"
"That means I've had my coffee already." Kaiba answered shaking a clear cup with very little coffee in it.
Yugi stood up from his chair before the two made a scene at a quarter to six in the morning. "I think there is no easy way of saying this so I'm just going to say it." He paused. "I'm dating your sister."
Kaiba stood there. "Sorry did you say you are dating my sister?"
Yugi nodded proudly, hiding any fear that many other guys would have when confronting a girl's scary father, or in this case, brother. "Yes, I'm going out with Regan."
There were no words said as the tension of the room rose over the course of sixty seconds.
"I'm surprised you had the guts to tell me face to face so soon." Kaiba finally stated with a grin. "But of course I already knew this."
"How?" Joey asked.
"Last night, Regan told me in our talk after the water fight. She seemed to be quite happy too."
"This tells me you have had lots of time to think of some threats." Yugi commented.
"There goes one of the things off my list. You have a brain that works, but I should warn you. You are one of my greatest rivals and I will have no hesitation of making you disappeared. You do something to break her heart or something stupid that she does not want, I will find you and I will kill you. Do you understand?"
Yugi nodded. "I understand."
"Well that was fun." Someone stated scaring Yugi and Joey half to death.
Yugi turned to see Atem leaning against the door frame of his room.
"How long have you been there?" Yugi demanded.
"The entire time," Atem stated. "Congrats."
Yugi was about to respond, but a loud beeping noise started to come from the TV. From the corner of his eye, he noticed Regan throw a pillow over her face and threw the blankets over top.
"Make it stop." She hissed as the television turned on.
"Good morning gamers and friends. We have the bands created and arranged for the tournament. Please be patient as they pop up on the screen." Devin stated from the TV.
Yugi turned to the TV and saw the schedule of the tournament pop up. "I think we should be writing this down."
"Good idea Yug." Joey replied and grabbed some paper.
"Or we could just take a photo" Kaiba stated.
"And print it off where genius." The CEO didn't respond as he took his phone out of his pocket and started to take photos. Joey growled and wrote on the paper quickly. After a few minutes, Joey finally placed the pencil down. "Ha finished now, we have the schedule; but there aren't any names placed for each of the games."
The screen switched to another list. Yugi was somewhat amused at how it was set up. "Hey Kaiba, don't look now, but I think Pegasus wants a word with you and got a hold of the band lists."
"What are you-" Kaiba started and then looked at the T.V. "Oh hell no, I am not participating."
"What's wrong Seto?" Regan asked from underneath her blankets.
"Kaiba give me Pegasus' number right now!" Joey ordered.
"Never mind, wake me up when you need me, right now my bed is my friend." Regan groaned as she turned over.
Yugi shook his head. "It's not that bad you two. It could be worse."
Kaiba and Joey turned to him with death glares.
"Not bad? Yug, this is the worst possible thing!" Joey shouted.
Kaiba was already on his phone looking impatient as ever. Atem joined Yugi at the table as he felt amusement come over him. It wasn't long in the quiet room that the people present could hear the laughter of Pegasus on the other end.
"What do you think Pegasus has planned?" Atem asked Yugi.
"I'm not sure, but he certainly got Kaiba's attention to get his plan into motion." Yugi whispered. "Or he could just be bored and wanted something to do."
"Maybe, or he actually has something that needs addressing."
Yugi went to expand, but Kaiba interrupted with a howler.
"You snake! Why would-!" He went silent as Pegasus seemed to explain. Kaiba sighed, but Yugi wasn't sure if it was in defeat or annoyance. "Fine, I'll look into it and you better hope you aren't messing with me."
"Who cares? Just do what he wants; I'm not being in the same band as you!" Joey exclaimed.
"Shut up Wheeler! Regan, Pegasus wants to chat." Kaiba growled as he threw the phone in her direction. It landed on her stomach from what Yugi could tell.
"Ow," She whined as her arm came out of the blanket. She grabbed the phone and slipped it under the blanket. "Good morning Mr. Pegasus, what can I do for you?"
There was silence as Pegasus talked on the other line.
"So you want me and Yugi to go see you. Where do you want us to go at whatever time it is?"
There was another silent moment and she sighed. "Don't start please, it's been an interesting night, fine, fine we're coming and please switch Seto and Joey and place them in their original spots. Good, thank you." Regan got out of her sanctuary and tossed Kaiba's phone as she went passed him to the Kaibas' room. "Yugi, we need to see Pegasus in five minutes on the roof and if we are late he apparently has something planned that we may not like."
"Alright, don't need him to be going around and doing something that we will regret." Yugi replied and went to his room to put on something decent.
He came out less than a minute later and met Regan at the front door.
"What does Pegasus want you for?" Kaiba asked just before they were about to leave.
"Don't know; he just wanted to see us." Regan replied and dragged Yugi away.
They practically ran down the hall to catch the elevator. The elevator went up a floor and then it stopped as more people came on.
Regan pulled him out of the elevator. "This will take too long, let's take the stairs."
"Are you nuts?" Yugi asked as they entered the stairwell.
"Possibly, but I don't want to see that Pegasus can do."
"Good point." Yugi agreed and ran side by side with her.
When they reached the top of the stairwell, the door was partially opened as he led Regan out. It wasn't hard to find the CEO of Industrial Illusions standing in his purple suit in the grey morning before the sun was up.
"Did anyone follow you?" Pegasus asked before they told him they were there.
"No, why?" Regan asked.
"You can never be too cautious." Pegasus answered and turned to them.
Yugi led Regan towards him feeling the discussion was important. "So what is it Pegasus?"
"I got a call last night quite early in the morning actually about Regan. It doesn't have much to do with you, Yugi, but I didn't want Regan to come by herself as it would look a little suspicious and other people might take advantage if she was alone."
"Who called you last night?" Regan asked going straight to the point.
"A group called Dragon Slayers, they asked about your relationship with Kaiba-boy."
"And what did you tell them?" Yugi questioned.
"Just that they were friends, they seemed satisfied, but I have a feeling they were looking for a little more."
"Who was on the phone?"
"I don't know; all I know is that they were female." Pegasus replied. "But you two already know who this group is, so I want to give you some advice."
"Advice?" Regan asked.
"I think you need to keep your relationship with the Kaiba brothers a secret until this group disappears and you have grounded the position you're in. It's a dangerous world in business and when you just show up in such a hazardous time, someone could get hurt or killed and more than likely it won't be you first."
"I better tell Seto then, I think he was going to do a huge announcement in this tournament, but what you say is true. Dammit this wouldn't be an issue if that group didn't do what they did fifteen years ago."
"That group? Who are you talking about?"
"Recently as you know I found out about my bloodline." Regan explained and continued by telling what happened that night in the virtual realm. After about fifteen minutes, Pegasus looked stunned. "Now we have Dragon Slayers on our tail with that group playing the strings. Just one shit hole after another."
"But the Dragon Slayers don't know about you so that's all the counts. Without you in their sights then you are free to do as you wish. If your brothers get into some trouble, then you can help them without being noticed." Pegasus responded.
"I don't believe that will happen when my brothers are in that much trouble." Regan insisted. "And not only that the Dragon Slayers' doctor knows a lot about my ability so I won't go unnoticed."
"With Yugi as your love, you two are undefeatable in anything you put your mind too, they won't know what hit them."
"Love, how-?" Yugi started, but Pegasus interrupted.
"Just because your back was to Kaiba-boy doesn't mean it was to everyone else. Shall I make an announcement or-"
"No, it's fine; we are just two normal teenagers in a relationship. There is no need for an announcement like Prince William and Kate Middleton."
"Thought so, that was what I was going to do along with telling the press if you were late."
"Are you crazy?" Regan exclaimed.
"This would be the first time someone actually asked me that." Pegasus commented. "I don't believe so. Alright I won't make an announcement or tell the press."
Yugi narrowed his eyes as he had a feeling Pegasus had something else planned. "Is that everything?"
"Yup, that will be all Yugi-boy. Have fun at the tournament."
Yugi was about to led Regan away when another thought entered his mind. "Pegasus, I need a favor."
"Anything Yugi-boy."
"I need you to look out amongst the competitors that are middle aged women that have burgundy colored hair and are about five foot seven. She may be going by her first name Jade."
"What's this about?"
"Just a precaution, I'm sure you'll look her up so I won't go into details."
"Alright, I'll keep my eye open. Have a good day you two. Tell Kaiba-boy and Joey that I changed the lists."
Yugi and Regan nodded and left the roof to the CEO. They headed back to their room and found Kaiba and Joey standing outside of the room.
"Is he going to change it?" Joey demanded.
"Yes, he said that he already did, so I guess it will be on the next slide of the band members list." Yugi answered.
"Good, if not Pegasus would be falling from the roof." Kaiba responded and walked into the room.
Everyone was up and sitting at the table or in front of the TV with breakfast.
"How long were we gone for?" Regan asked.
"Long enough, Kaiba was pacing back and forth and muttering under his breath." Joey answered. "Apparently, he really doesn't trust Pegasus."
"And you do?" Kaiba growled.
"No, I guess not."
"Here you two, have some breakfast, the revised band list is coming up and then its today's games listing." Téa said as she came up to them. In her hands were some eggs, bacon and toast on a plate.
"Thanks," Yugi thanked Téa and Regan said the same thing.
Atem moved over on the couch and Yugi and Regan sat down beside him. "So what did Pegasus want?"
"Just an advisement about the Kaiba brothers and you know who should keep their status in the dark until the Dragon Slayers are destroyed." Regan answered. "He got a phone call from them last night."
"Are you serious?"
"Yes, apparently they asked about the relationship and Pegasus just said they were friends. They must be in the tournament also." Yugi replied.
"Of course they would be; anything to destroy my plans." Kaiba sneered.
"So you were going to use someone else's tournament to your advantage."
"Why not, everything I need and I don't have to spend a penny and besides, who's going to stop me."
"Dragon Slayers," Joey answered.
"No, I would have still done it, but Pegasus."
"He threatened you earlier, didn't he?" Regan asked.
"Yes and no." Kaiba stated and then turned his attention to the TV. "The band lists should be coming up now."
Yugi turned his attention to the TV and the screen switched over to the lists. Each band had a name and then the participates' names in the band came afterwards.
The Edge: Joey Wheeler, Mai Valentine, Doyle Foster, Rose Phono
Band of Heroes: Yugi Muto, Regan Heartin, Atem Muto, Seto Kaiba
Creatures of the Night: Prince of Night, Sage of Night, Soldier of Night, Beast of Night
The Knights: Starling Halcro, Raven Finn, Crow Heaven, Hawk Jones
And the list continued on until all the contestants were accounted for, but Yugi was only really paying attention to the first four bands as they were the first on the screen.
"Why can't we have some cool names like Prince of Night?" Joey complained/
"Is this really our band name, Band of Heroes? Last I checked, it was you two Mutos' arena not mine." Kaiba complained.
"Would you like to be in Joey's group?" Atem asked.
"No, the band would go nowhere with him in it."
"Watch it rich boy, I for one am quite good at this game so I doubt we will lose." Joey retorted.
"Yes but you have to win the other games first, which you are not so good in." Kaiba stated with a grin.
"You're asking for it Kaiba!" Joey shouted and then moved towards him.
Regan moved so fast, Yugi didn't even feel her get up. Joey stopped in his tracks in front of her.
"Joey I consider you as a good friend, but if you touch him, I will make sure they're no little Joey Juniors running around." The girl threatened.
"Alright, but I'm not stopping myself next time Kaiba decides to be a smart ass."
Regan and Yugi sighed.
"Joey, I'm trying to save you from the humiliation of Seto handing your butt to you on a silver platter and then mounting it to your wall. But hey by all means, have fun trying."
"What you don't think I could take him?"
"Joey, you street fight, Kaiba more than likely can take out four or five of you at one time. It's in the job requirement." Atem answered.
"Hmm, fine, we'll settle it in the tournament then."
"Great, that means I won't have to do a thing." Kaiba smirked.
"Dammit Kaiba!" Joey yelled.
"Hey look today's schedule." Terry said to break up the fight.
Regan sat back down while Joey continued to mumble as he sat on the arm rest of the couch while Kaiba turned to the TV. Yugi sighed as he followed suit and saw the Trial's events of the day and was surprised on how the day was placed.
10:00 AM Opening Duel: Seto Kaiba VS Rose Phono
-No games are being played until the end of the match.
12:00 PM Lunch in ballroom.
1:30 PM Duels, mini Rock Band battles, and DDR Dance Off take place randomly. Each contestant needs to require three points; if one loses they lose a point. If you do lose a game, you are not disqualified.
4:30 PM Time's up if a contestant does not have three points by this time, they are disqualified.
5:00 PM Dinner in the ballroom.
The rest of the time is free time. If there is a game concerning two or more contestants and someone loses, they are disqualified and the winners move up a spot. Tournament buildings close at 10:00 PM to the general public and don't reopen until 5:00AM. The only access to these buildings during these times will be the ID cards.
ENJOY!
"I thought these were going to be set games?" Regan asked in confusion.
"There are too many people to do set games," Kaiba replied. "So this day and probably the next few days will be survival of the fittest."
"What about the set times, I'm pretty sure that they had set times as a factor in the sense of disqualification?" Téa asked.
"The times are set by the contestants, if one of the contestants does not show up at their stage, after the time to enter; they will lose a point, unless it's a set game. Then they are disqualified." Atem answered.
"This makes a lot more sense, expect." Regan started.
Yugi turned to her. "Except for what?"
"Why in the world would they wake us up at six thirty in the damn morning to tell us, that the games start in four hours?!"
"She does have a point." Mokuba agreed. "But the time was six, not six thirty."
"I believe it is for everyone who doesn't know what they are getting into to get their things together and build decks if they need to, practice their dancing skills, or practice on the instruments if they have never played. Many of the gamers only place their talent in one profession, not many. So I guess this tournament is holding up to its word. These are the Gamer Trails to find out who the best of the best really are." Yugi answered.
"Yea, but you guys are all really good at those three games to start off this tournament, so you don't have anything to worry about right now." Tristan answered.
"Yes but it won't hurt to freshen up our skills to go against pros." Joey stated.
"Can we help?" Kyle asked him.
"Sure, I guess we can start by setting up my room with that DDR game and then you two can play against me." Joey suggested. "How's that sound?"
"GREAT!" Kyle and Chris shouted.
"Shhh, settle down you two, you are guests not the runners of this place." Terry's wife, Clare scolded.
"Yes mom, we'll behave." The two boys said and then followed Joey and Tristan into their room.
"Good, the Monkey and the Mutt are finally entertained; now I can get some work done. Mokuba, get my briefcase and meet me in the main lobby." Kaiba told his brother.
"On it," Mokuba stated and went into their room as Kaiba walked out.
"I'll bring Mokuba to the lobby, no need for some strange to take him away." Regan whispered in Yugi's ear.
"Ok, just be careful." He told her.
"Don't worry." She smiled too innocently as she reached into her bag. Terry and Clare looked at her strangely. The girl pulled out her swords that were in sheathes attached to their belt. "It would be their mistake."
"Are those?" Terry asked as he pointed to them.
"They're swords," Yugi answered as she threaded the swords off their belt and started to thread them on as she placed the belt on her jeans. "Really cool swords that are used for protection."
"That's right, enemies would think twice before bringing their plans into this tournament unauthorized. And trust me over the last month and a bit, I have seen enough of them without these blades to say that I need them." Regan continued.
"Well as long as you know how to use them, I guess…" Clare sighed.
"Don't worry; you guys won't get hurt by outsiders or these blades."
"I guess if you want the best for your kids and you just happen to pick up some really famous people that say you can stay in their suite, there are going to be a few catches." Terry grinned.
"Just a few," Clare told him sarcastically with a smile and the two wandered into Joey's and Tristan's room and Regan and Mokuba left the suite.
"Téa, would you care to give me some lessons on DDR, I'm not aware of how the game works one hundred percent or how to get good points, I'm just lucky that I get points by stepping on the arrows." Atem asked.
Téa giggled. "Sure, Yugi, Mai would you care to join us?"
"Nah, you three go ahead." Mai declined. "I'm going to look around this place for any suspicious activity, or unwanted guests like in Kaiba's last tournament."
"I'll join, but if you two want some alone time, kick me out anytime." Yugi answered.
The three of them went into Atem's room for a dance lesson from the dancer of the group.
Regan was running down the halls as fast as she possible could go. 'Dammit, I just had to get a call Ryou! Right when I was busy in the damn bathroom!'
"I did pick it up if you don't remember." Nile said from somewhere in her mind.
'And I would have left then, if it wasn't weird to have an iPhone floating by near my head as I walked to the duel stadium.'
"Right, forgot that was wasn't visible to everyone."
"How do you forget something like that?!" Regan asked loudly.
"Well I have a habit of forgetting little details like that when I talk to Ryou." Nile answered sheepishly.
'I see…'
"I know what you're thinking and that isn't it."
'Yeah right,' Regan replied as she finally made it to the connecting hall to the stadium. There was loud cheering and racket that could only mean the match was going to start sometime soon, if it already hadn't. 'What time is it?'
"About ten in four seconds."
'Shit, I am not missing a thing of my brother's duel. This is the first time I get to see him duel in a tournament.'
Regan ran even faster somehow and busted into the audience stadium.
"Good morning ladies and gentlemen. I am glad to see that this opening game has you excited, even though I did get you all up at six-ish this morning." Devin's voice ran throughout the stadium.
'Yugi, where the heck are you sitting?' Regan asked.
'Section three, row ten… I think.' Yugi answered in her head. 'Where were you?'
'I got a phone call, but it turned into Nile's phone call.'
There was a laugh on the link. She just sighed and followed his instructions on where they are sitting. When she finally found them Devin was done talking and Seto and Rose came out on to the playing field.
"Gamers, fans, guests and creators, let me introduce the two players of our opening game. First would be this gentleman here, second best duelist in the world and CEO of Kaiba Corporation. Mr. Seto Kaiba!" Devin introduced.
There was a really loud cheer and uproar from the stands with a few whistles every once and a while.
"Next," Devin Continued. "We have one of great talent to be in the top ten of all games she has ever played, Ms. Rose Phono!"
There was a loud cheer, but not as loud as the one Seto received.
"Gamers, activate your duel disks and let the game begin!"
Devin left off to the side where the creators from what Regan could see were sitting and Seto and Rose activated their disks.
"So, only top ten well I have to say it must have been pure luck." Seto started the taunting before the duel even started.
"Well at least I'm not second best to a duelist that has beaten you so many times with the same tactics for the last year give or take, I at least grow with each game I play, I haven't lost a single game since I was ten and that was ten years ago." Rose replied back gracefully.
"You're streak is about to end for I'm ending it now!"
"Duel!" The both shouted as they drew their cards.
Seto Kaiba VS Rose Phono
Seto – 4000 Rose – 4000
Turn 1: Seto Kaiba H: 5 LP: 4000
"I'll go first since I did get the loudest cheer." Seto grinned as he drew his card. "First I'll summon Lord of Dragons."
Lord of D. Spellcaster/Effect Attack: 1200 Defense: 1100
As Seto placed his card on the disk the monster appeared in front of him.
"Is that really your opening move?" Rose yawned. "Because seriously I thought I was in for a challenge."
"Please, you think I'm done? Next I activate Flute of Summoning Dragon, so I can bring out two dragons, but wait. I have a second Flute of Summoning Dragon to bring out four dragons! Come forth my three Blue-Eyes White Dragons!"
Blue-Eyes White Dragon Dragon/Normal Attack: 3000 Defense: 2500
Three white dragons with blue eyes appeared with a loud roar of battle drowning out the audiences' shouts and yells of excitement.
"This just might be a quick duel; this is the same opening move as our duel in the virtual world. Those two critters didn't even see what hit them, poor bastards." Atem stated in awe.
"What! You must have cheated to get such an opening move!" Rose exclaimed.
"A cheat, no I'm not, but you also know that it would not be possible for me to be cheating as our decks are gone through a scanner for any ways that we could possibly cheat and then one of the tenants' shuffles yours cards right after you shuffle them in front of their eyes. Just before you come on stage."
Rose growled. "Fine are you done, from what I can see here you have no cards in your hand."
"I end."
Turn 2: Rose H: 5 LP: 4000
My draw!" Rose shouted as she drew her card. "Well not the card I was looking for but this will do nicely. I summon Ape Fighter in defense mode and I'll set two cards facedown."
Ape Fighter Beast/Effect Attack: 1900 Defense: 1200
A red ape appeared on the field and howled at the dragons from its crouched position.
"Are you done yet?" Seto asked.
"Of course not, I activate Swords of Revealing Light, and I activate the field spell Closed Forest. And then I well end my turn."
A forest started to grow out of the ground and then vines started to grow on the trees blocking Regan from seeing the duel. She looked up and saw the duel on the monitor. "Well I'm glad that there is a giant TV for duels."
"So am I, I'm interested in what she has planned." Yugi said.
Seto Kaiba – 4000 Rose Phono – 4000
Turn 3: Kaiba H: 0 LP: 4000
"This will be over faster than I thought. I activate Pot of Greed to draw two cards." Seto said and drew his two cards. "If you think your swords are going to protect you, think again. I activate Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy your swords."
A giant wind picked up and the swords were destroyed, but Rose didn't seem to be fazed as she stayed quiet.
"Blue-Eyes attack her Ape Fighter to start the end of this duel!"
"Seto, she has a trap!" Regan couldn't help but yell out at him as Rose's eyes perked up and a victorious grin appeared on her face.
"That was what I hoped you would do, you're so predictable." Rose stated.
"I am far from predictable." Seto growled.
"I would say otherwise, I activate my face down, Mirror Force destroying all your attack position monsters, and I believe all four of your monsters are in this position, are they not?"
Seto growled again as Blue-Eyes' attack rebounded off of a barrier and hit all of his monsters. They cried in pain and one by one they were destroyed. "You'll pay for that, I summon Luster Dragon in attack mode."
Luster Dragon Dragon/Normal Attack: 1900 Defense: 1600
"I don't think I will, I activate my other trap card, Dragon Capture Jar."
"What?!"
"Just about everyone who knows about the duel monsters world knows you have a dragon type deck, Kaiba. So it would only make sense to place a Dragon Capture Jar in my deck?"
"You-"
"My turn," Rose stated as she drew her card.
Turn 4: Rose H: 1 LP: 4000
"I'll switch my Ape Fighter into attack mode and summon Berserk Gorilla in attack mode."
Berserk Gorilla Beast/Effect Attack: 2000 Defense: 1000
A fire red Gorilla came onto the field in a rage as it banged on its chest, screaming.
"You have a monkey deck?" Seto asked sarcastically.
"Yes I do, and my monkeys are going to crush your dragons." Rose said angrily. "Ape Fighter Attack his defense position dragon with fighter's upper cut!"
Ape fighter ran towards Luster Dragon and gave it an upper cut and destroyed it.
"Now Berserk Gorilla, attack Seto Kaiba directly."
Regan flinched as the gorilla hammer fisted her brother. He glared at Rose as his life points dropped.
"Now, I'll set one card and end my turn."
Seto Kaiba – 2000 Rose Phono - 4000
Turn 5: Seto H: 0 LP: 2000
Seto drew his card without saying anything. "I activate my Card of Demise; this allows me to draw five cards from my deck. And when five turns pass, I have to discard my hand."
"You aren't going to last next round, but hey if drawing cards from your deck makes you feel better, be my guess." Rose taunted as he drew his cards.
"Kick her butt Seto!" Mokuba and Regan cheered.
Regan looked at Mokuba as he looked at her and they both started giggling at their timing.
"Now I activate two spell cards called Double Summon which allows me to summon up to four monsters this turn, but since I only have three cards, I can't summon a fourth, but I don't need to. I summon, X-Head Cannon, Y-Dragon Head and Z-Metal Tank."
X-Head Cannon Machine/Normal Attack: 1800 Defense: 1500
Y-Dragon Head Machine/Union Attack: 1500 Defense: 1600
Z-Metal Tank Machine/Union Attack: 1500 Defense: 1300
A blue and yellow machine with two cannons appeared and a red dragon followed by a yellow and green tank. Regan looked down on the field in confusion at the three low powered monsters and then it clicked.
"Those three combine along with V-Tiger Jet and W-Wing Catapult right?" She asked Yugi.
"Right; Kaiba is about to combine his three monsters, watch."
"I'm sure you already know this, but let me tell you anyway. When these three are on the field they can make a much bigger monster. I combine X-Head Cannon, Y-Dragon Head and Z-Metal Tank to create, XYZ Dragon Cannon!"
XYZ-Dragon Cannon Machine/Fusion/Effect Attack: 2800 Defense: 2600
The three monsters started to shift their pieces around and X dropped on top of Y and Y dropped on top of Z to create a giant machine that Regan was in awe about.
"How can you be that lucky to get the cards you need?" Rose asked.
"Don't blame this on luck; I'm just skilled, now XYZ-Dragon Cannon attack Berserk Gorilla." Seto ordered. The cannons charged and fired at the gorilla. The creature tried to move, but it was shot instead and destroyed. "And because of that you take eight hundred points of damage. Turn end."
"Before you end you're turn I'm activating my trap card Solemn Wishes so when I draw I gain five hundred life points."
"You'll need them if you stand a chance against me."
Turn 6: Rose H: 0 LP: 3200
"Draw!" Rose shouted and drew her card as her life points went to 3700. She side-glanced the card and then stuck it in her duel disk. "I activate Card of Sanctity so we each drew cards until we hold six, so six for you and six for me."
"And you're being so nice why?"
"I'm not; I just need some ammunition for my monkeys and an extra life point boost. This has nothing to do with you." Rose stated.
"Holy crap, her life points just went up an extra three thousand!" Regan exclaimed as Rose's points went to 6700.
"I know, and she probably has something planned to go with this." Yugi told her.
"Now, I activate my two Beast Fang cards and equip them to my Ape Fighter. I should have probably told you this earlier, but when my Ape Fighter destroyed your Luster Dragon, it gained three hundred making its attack twenty-two hundred attack points, now for each Beast Fang my ape gains an extra three hundred. On top of that, since you sent my monster to the graveyard my Ape Fighter gains an extra one hundred attack points from my Closed Forest. Can you do the math or shall I?"
"It's twenty-nine hundred, so just go." Seto said in annoyance.
"I will, Ape Fighter send that excuse of a monster to the recycling plant!"
The Ape Fighter ran across the field as it grew with each of its extra attack points being added and shattered the giant robot.
Seto stood there like nothing happened as his life points took a hundred points of damage.
"Next, I'll set three cards and end my turn."
Seto Kaiba – 1900 Rose Phono – 6700
Turn 7: Seto H: 6 LP: 1900
Seto grinned, "You should have finished me off."
"What are you talking about?" Rose asked in confusion.
"Because you are about to lose," He responded as he drew his card. "I activate Monster Reborn to-"
"No you aren't. I activate my Solemn Judgment to negate it, but of course I lose half my life points, but that doesn't really bug me." Rose interrupted as her life points dropped to 3350.
"I thought you would do that, this game is mine. I activate dark hole to wipe away your monster from the field."
A dark hole appeared and swallowed the monkey away.
"Next I activate my Malice Dispersion card, by discarding a card I can destroy all continuous traps on the field. Rose, if you think your Dragon Capture Jar was not predictable, you are wrong. When I play with my deck I make sure I cover my weak spots as well and the Dragon Capture Jar is so predictable against a dragon deck." He discarded a card and a wave appeared in the center of the field and then destroyed the jar and the woman how gave life. "Now that that those two cards are gone let's get the real plan formed. I activate Soul Release to remove my three Blue-Eyes from the game."
"Why are you removing your dragons?"
"To do this, Dimension Fusion to bring back all three of my dragons, but that isn't all. I activate my final spell card Polymerization to fuse my three dragons together to create Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!"
Blue-Eyes White Dragon Dragon/Normal Attack: 3000 Defense: 2500
Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon Dragon/Fusion Attack: 4500 Defense: 3800
The audience started to cheer loudly as the large three-headed white dragon appeared on the field.
"Nice, he has this finished." Regan said with a smile and then her smile faltered, "But what about her two face downs. Her face downs have been a problem all game."
"I know, I wonder what he has planned for those." Yugi sighed. "I guess we will have to see."
"Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, attack her directly!" Seto ordered.
Rose started to laugh. "Got you, I activate Sakuretsu Armor to destroy your dragon."
Seto responded with a laugh that out did Rose's and sent shivers running up Regan's spine. "Heh; fooled you. I sacrifice my Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon as a chain to summon my ultimate monster; even the Egyptian God cards fear her. I summon Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon!"
Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon Dragon/Effect Attack: 3000 Defense: 2500
A majestic white dragon that looked a lot different and much bigger form of the regular Blue-Eyes, even a bit mechanical and it had blue spheres on its body as it appeared from the fusion monster.
"Not only is this a one of a kind card, it has a special ability, for every dragon in our graveyards, she gains three hundred extra attack points. With six dragons, because I discarded a dragon with my spell card earlier she gains an extra eighteen hundred attack points making her at a total of 4800!"
"Holy shit… when, how, what in the world?" Regan asked as she started to ask questions. "Where did he get this card? Who made it?"
"Pegasus made the card a while ago to contradict the god cards if they ever were placed into hands of evil. Kaiba got that card just before our duel when Anubis showed up to try and take over the world again." Atem answered.
"Oh I remember him." Nile said behind them in an empty seat. "He was an asshole."
"Yes he was. It was destroyed during the battle, but I picked it up for him on the day of the arcade incident and I guess he decided to bring it to this tournament."
"She's gorgeous." Regan complimented.
"Blue-Eyes, attack Rose directly!" Seto said.
"Not so fast I activate my Magic Cylinder-"
"No you don't, my dragon has a second ability. I can negate any spells, traps or monster effects that target her, so finish this up with Shining Burst!"
The Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon powered up a ball of light and then released it on Rose. The attack hit and Rose screamed as she hit the ground and her life points reached zero.
Seto Kaiba -1900 Rose Phono -0
Winner Seto Kaiba
"Way to go Seto!" Regan cheered.
Devin came onto the field as the shining dragon disappeared. "Excellent duel, with Seto Kaiba as the winner, Rose Phono is kicked out of the tournament. There will be another game tomorrow morning based on a vote, so place your vote on the piece of paper that is on the back of your seat with the pen that is in the arm rest and hand it in as you leave. Thank you and everyone get ready for the elimination round after lunch. Or if you are impatient you can start now. Good luck everyone."
Regan left with Mokuba handing in their ballets early and waited outside of the tournament entry tunnel. When Seto appeared Mokuba bounded over to him.
"Great job big brother; beat her one, two, and three."
"True, I just hope I don't get stuck dueling you in the tournament." Regan said. "And the ending move with your dragon was awesome. I didn't know there was another Blue-Eyes in your deck."
"Yea, neither did I; about the part of you having it in your deck."
"That's because you never asked and besides, where's the surprise if I told you before her grand opening." Seto grinned.
Regan smiled, "Well let's go and see around this place. Maybe there are some hidden arenas that some poor unconfident person found and wished to trick other duelists. I heard that it happened on the island during Duelist Kingdom and in your Battle City tournament."
"Not a bad idea, I wonder how long those fools will last against me?"
"Probably not long," Mokuba said, "Against either of you."
"After that I think I'll hang out with Yugi just to make sure nothing funny is happening over on their end after lunch." Regan told her two brothers.
"Hey before we head to lunch, can we head back to the room, I want to call Ryou. We didn't finish our conversation." Nile asked appearing out of nowhere again scaring Regan and Mokuba. If Seto was scared Regan didn't catch it fast enough.
"God woman, you'd think I'd be used to you appearing, but still I'm not." Regan scolded. "And yes I guess; I'll practice with something so I don't eavesdrop on your conversation."
"Great."
"Nile," Seto started.
"Yes?"
"Keep a look out for any of them or the Dragon Slayers when Regan is not, last we need is something to go downhill like every other tournament."
"Of course."
"Wish we could have a normal tournament." Mokuba complained.
"Where's the fun in it if there isn't someone trying to take over the world." Regan asked.
"Trust me, after the first two times of someone trying to do more damage and cause problems it isn't fun afterwards; especially when you get kidnapped the first two times."
"Yes that would suck, alright. Let's kick some butt to narrow down the suspects!"
