So here's the next chapter and I'm happy that I found a title for this story too as I didn't have on in mind before when I posted it. I also appreciate the reviews I have so far received especially that guest who pointed out that I had posted the wrong chapter. Anyway enjoy and I do not own Yugioh.

-o0o-

Weevil opened up with a monster called Killer Needle, which looked like an oversized wasp with 1200 Atk to 1000 Def points. Yami countered with his Mammoth Greaveyard which was 1200 Atk to 800 Def which meant they were evenly matched for attack points but seeing that confident smirk on Weevil's face Abasi knew something was up. They all soon learned why as Yami attacked Weevil's monster and instead of both monsters being destroyed Yami's Mammoth was destroyed instead.

"Gone after one sting, he must be allergic." Weevil said.

"How did he do that? Their monsters were evenly matched for attack points, they both should have been destroyed." Abasi said. She could see that Yami was also confused and trying to make since of what was going on.

Thankfully Weevil liked to talk. "Have you begun to figure out yet why I lead you all the way to this forest area? If you just look around then you will see this area is exact replica of our surrounding environment. One part waist land, and one part forest. And who thrives in the forest? Bugs. The strongest most powerful insects rule the forest. So as long as I play my bugs in the forest area I get a field power bonus. I guess you just weren't listening when Pegasus said this tournament would have existing new surprises in store for us. Maybe if you were smart enough to steal the tournament secret new rules like I did you'd be getting a field power bonuses instead of me!"

"He cheated. He lead us here cause he knew he'd have an unfair advantage." Joey said

"If there is one thing I hate more than bullies, its cheaters." Abasi snapped as she glared at Weevil.

"Go ahead, call me a cheater. Your all just angry that you didn't swipe the rules your self's and because you didn't, little Yugi is about to get stung." Weevil's boosting was sort lived as they all heard Yami laughing suddenly, confusing all of them. "What? How can you be laughing?"

"Because, take a look at your Killer Needle now." Yami said as he smiled. They all looked as the wasp like monster started to sprout beams of light before disappearing form the field completely. It turned out that Yami's Mammoth Graveyard got a field bonus from the waist land which meant that their monsters were the same power level. They were all happy to see that Weevil was upset at losing his advantage as Yami explained why they were all dueling on a remote island instead of in an arena in the city. Abasi hated to admit it but it was ingenious of Pegasus to have his arenas incorporate the islands terrain around them into the duels.

"Your clever Yugi but figuring out one rule won't be enough. There are surprises hidden under every rock and I know them all." Weevil snired seemingly still confident that he had the duel in the bag.

"You can do it Yugi!"

"Don't let that flee scare ya, he's bluffing."

"I don't know Joey, he might not be, we don't know all the new rules that are in place on this island." Abasi said as both Yami and Weevil drew new cards.

"What are you saying that you don't think Yugi can win?" Tristan asked.

"No that is not what I'm saying. I'm just saying we shouldn't discount that Weevil knows things about this tournament that we don't. So we don't know if he's bluffing or not." She explained as Weevil's Hercules Beetle easily defeated Yami's Feral Imp even with it be equipped with the Horn of the unicorn to boost its Atk power.

"Yugi's attack didn't even faze that thing."

"Somthens screwy."

"My Imp's lighting attack should have destroyed your Beetle. Is this another trick Weevil?" Yami demanded.

"No Yugi. I just thought you knew that all monsters with a field power bonus are oh so resilient to any type magic attacks and since my Hercules Beetle deflected your lightning bolts he has more than enough power left to destroy your puny Feral Imp and continue to eat away at your life points."

"See what did I tell you? Though I wish I had been wrong." Abasi said worrying about what Yami could do to defeat Weevil with the way things were.

Yami went on the defensive to protect his life points but that didn't bother Weevil as he placed his Basic Insect on the field and beefed it up with some magic equipped cards. Weevil easily blew away Yami's monster. This made Weevil happy as he said that he was going to make Yami stay on the defensive as he placed a trap card on the field that would activate the moment Yami tried to attack him. They all started to worry but Yami saw that Weevil was so busy boosting that he wasn't really paying attention to what was going on the field. This allowed Yami to put down a trap of his own.

Soon Weevil's entire field was covered in insect monsters.

"Just Look at our Yugi he so confident up there." Tea said.

"I know, when he's dueling it's like he becomes a totally different guy." Joey remarked.

(How is it that they can see the difference between Yugi and Yami, but not realize they are two different people, just sharing the same body?) Abasi thought as she looked at them then back a Yami as he looked happy about something. That made her realize that Weevil wasn't paying attention. "Oh this is going to be good."

"Huh, what's going to be good?" Joey asked as they all looked at her confused.

"Joey if you haven't noticed it yet, you soon will. Just watch."

When Yami placed the Dark Magician on the field in defiance mode it was all the bait he needed to get Weevil to attack him which in turn set off Yami's mirror force trap card, sending the attack back at him, destroying all of his monsters. It also took out a nice chunk of his life point, a whole 1,445. This put them all in good spirits as they cheered, happy that Yami's tactic worked in taking a lot of Weevil's life points and the look of absolute shock on his face was nice too.

Unfortunately it was sort lived as Weevil suddenly started to laugh. "Oh that's not good."

Just then Mai showed up and satiated what Abasi was afraid of as she laughed at their premature victory. "You losers don't seem to realize who your little pal is up against. Weevil is regional champion. He's got moves your shrimp couldn't even dream of."

Both Tea and Abasi glared at her but it was Tea who got angry at her. "Nobody asked you so why don't you take a hike." She snapped.

"And miss the chance to watch a champ like Weevil as he turns this around? No way."

"Hey don't you dare underestimate Yugi. You haven't seen what he can do." Abasi snapped getting in Mai's face. Even though she was a foot shorter than her Mai still took a step back seeming to notice the power that surrounded the young magician in training.

But she quickly got over it as she leaned over her. "Back of short fry. You don't know the first thing about dueling in a big tournament like this."

"Want a bet?" Abasi asked letting her anger get the better of her, letting a well-kept secret that she hadn't told her new friends yet out. "I'll have you know back in Egypt, before I moved I had won the country's championship, for the second time in a row."

"Really? Then why aren't you dueling then?"

Abasi stiffened before she looked away. "I don't compete in tournaments anymore."

"Really why not?" Mai demanded.

"That is none of your business." Abasi said turning her attention back to the duel. All three of her friends were surprised that Abasi was such a good duelist but not as much about her keeping it to herself. They of course had seen her duel at school and saw that she was as good as Yugi but why didn't she duel in tournaments any more confused them.

They didn't have any more time to wonder about it as Yami recalled his monsters back into his deck, shuffled it, drew a new hand and set Karibo on to the field. When he had it attack it set of Weevil's trap immediately destroying Yami's weaker monster and only taking 300 of his life point with it. Yami was feeling confident again until Weevil started to laugh.

"I don't give a bee's behind about that trap. I tricked you into recalling your monsters so you couldn't attack this." Weevil turned over his face down monster card with 650 Atk and 520 Def points. It seemed strange that Weevil would go through such lengths to protect a simple bug like that but it came clear when he placed his cocoon of evolution on down and placed it inside. He explained about how in five turns it would change into an unstoppable Great Moth.

"Then I'll crake your cocoon before that happens." Yami said.

"Easier said than done Yugi. For my cocoon of evolution also gets a field power bonus form the wilderness around us, increasing its defense points. It will be so strong you won't even be able to scratch its surface. Just five more turns Yugi. In five turns my Great Moth will fully evolve and finish you off." Weevil said pleased with himself.

(If what Weevil says is true I better act fast. That things getting bigger and stronger with each passing second.) Yami thought as he looked at the Cocoon in front of him. (I have to find a way to brake open that cocoon now. I can't let that moth get to its fifth stage of evolution.) He looked at his hand for a card that could pierce the cocoon's outer shell and he thought he had it with Gaya the fierce knight but it didn't even come close to doing so when it attacked.

"The field power bonus makes it to strong." Tristan said as Yami's knight bounced off the cocoon and his life points went down from 1050 to 750.

"Hang tuff Yugi, you'll pop that puss bag." Joey said as they all tried to cheer him on but Mai just laughed at them for it.

"You guys make it sound like your Yugi got a chance." She said.

Tea growled at her. "Of course he dose!"

Joey held her back as she looked ready to attack the older women. "Don't listen to her Tea."

"He right, Mai's not worth wasting your energy on." Abasi said not taking her eyes off the duel and what Yami would do to take out Weevil. That changed a little when she heard Mai say that no one who had gone up against Weevil's cocoon had been defeated by it. "All of them?"

"But he's got us to help him beet it." Tea said hoping that might be an improvement but it clear by Mai's expression that she didn't think much of that.

The next few turns Yami tried to think of a way to stop that cocoon as he put on monster on the field for defense but he knew without Weevil pointing it out that it wouldn't be enough if he didn't stop it before it hatched. It came to him as Joey reminded him that he was doing this for his grandpa and that he should get fired up.

"So do you guys sit around and work up these lame cheers or do they just come to you? I mean don't you realize that your pent up nonsense only distracts Yugi from the game?" Mai suddenly asked.

"Oh shut up Mai, no one want's to hear what you think." Abasi snapped at her.

"How would you know? I bet no one's ever wanted to be your friend, little own to cheer you on." Tea added.

"Friends haven't helped Yugi any and he's losing." Mai said but then she saw the smile on Yami's face as he gave them a thumbs up. "Huh?"

"You were saying?" Tristan asked her as they all smiled at her.

"Go Curse of Dragon!" Yami said as he summand a gold scaled dragon onto the field and after combining it with a magic card he attacked the cocoon with its dragon flame. They all watched as it was covered in flames.

"What do you think you're doing? You know your little firefly can't hurt my cocoon." Weevil said as he glared at Yami. All he got was a laugh in replay. "What's so funny?"

"Who ever said I was aiming at your cocoon? I combined my burning land magic card with my Curse of Dragon to destroy the forest all around your cocoon." Yami told him with a grin.

They all knew that with no forest around the cocoon, it lost its field power bonus which meant that it was now vurable to attack from Yami's knight. This time he was able to attack the cocoon and destroyed it. Mai was shocked but all of Yami's friends were happy. Or they were till Weevil's laughter changed their modes. It seemed in the few turns that the cocoon was on the field was long enough for his Great Moth to evolve, just not to full size or strength. Abasi didn't want to think how strong it would have been if it had fully matured as it was at 2600 Atk and 2500 Dft.

Even though it looked bad for Yami well Weevil gloated at how he was able to turn the tide in his favor, Yami wasn't detrude at all. "You may have gotten your prized monster on to the field Weevil but I will still find a way to squash that oversized bug."

"Heh. You'll pay for that stinging jab with your life points."

"Duel!"

Weevil's Moth took to the sky were Curse of Dragon was waiting for it but Weevil went after Yami's knight instead for taking out his cocoon. Weevil was once again thinking that he had the match in the bag but Yami was able to us the magic card Polymerization to fuse his knight with his curse of dragon. The best part was the Weevil was so caught up in attacking he didn't notice what Yami had done till it was too late. With the combined forces of his dragon and knight it was on the same level at the Great Moth.

Or so Yami thought until Weevil pointed out that his moth had filled the field with poison particles that were slowly decreasing his dragon knight's Atk power. Thankfully in his next draw, curtsy of his grandpa's deck he pulled out the magic card Makiu the magical mist, which was able to wash away all of the poison particles and return Yami's dragon knight back to full strength.

"Alright then, you may have stopped my poison attack but I promise you've only won a brefe reprieve. Because my next move is one that you won't be able to think your way out of. Brace yourself for my ultimate insect's ultimate attack. "Great Moth, tornado of doom!"

Weevil took out Yami's dragon knight, which dropped his life points down to 50. "Yugi, keep fighting, you can come back from this!" Joey said

"Come on Yugi, You can do it." Abasi cheered.

"You're all delusional." Mai said.

"No Abasi's right, Yugi never gives up and we never give up on him." Tea told her.

"Your nuts. Weevil's annulated Yugi's strongest monster combo and he's down to 50 misally life points. He can't win so do me a favor and stop yapping."

"I won't stop yapping you selfish pompous bleach blonde know it all, wind bag." Abasi looked at Tea in complete surprise as she had never hear her spout that many insults ever. "Do us a favor and get lost, right Joey?"

"You said it just ignore her Tea. Yugi in trouble."

"I know but what can we do?"

"I don't know, but it be great if we could trade Mai into life points." This comment made Tea sweet drop with a laugh of I wish well Mai looked unimpressed.

"I told you all along that Yugi didn't have a chance at winning this thing." Mai said. "He waist to much his time listening to you losers. Weevil keeps his mind on the game."

"And if you recall I told you that you don't know what Yugi is capable off. So shut up and watch." Abasi said with a smile as she saw that Yami grinned. She knew that he had found a way to finish the duel with him being the victor.

"You're right he's got a big smile on his face."

"No he's not smiling, I think he's laughing."

"No way." Mai was in disbelief.

Sure enough they all heard Yami's laughter reach them well Weevil glared at him. "Hay, hay, what are you so happy about? Stop that snickering."

"Weevil I know it will be very difficult for you to except losing in a duel." Yami told him. "Especially after spending so much time finding inventive ways to cheat but if you thought bending the rules would help you win this match, you're wrong."

"No this is a trick."

"You play dishonestly so you expect the same of your opponents but I duel with honor Weevil and that makes all the difference."

"You've got nothing. "Weevil growled in denial. But he was wrong as Yami placed his Summon Skull onto the field. Of course Weevil thought it was a bluff as he thought that Yami's monster wasn't strong enough to take out his Moth but it was then the Yami pointed out that Weevil had over looked the fact the magical mist card he had played earlier was still in affect and as such Weevil's moth was soaked.

Making it a giant lightning rod for Summon Skull's lighting attacks.

"I hope you're in the mode for some fireworks Weevil, because all of this water boost my monster's electrical attack by 1000 points." Which took it from 2500 to 3500. "Summon Skull, Lightning strike!"

They watched Weevil's Great Moth burst into flames, which also took what remained of his life points with it. They were all relived that Yami had won his first ever tournament duel and against the regional champ to boot. Well the others all congratulated him Abasi turned to Mai. "So you still think Yugi doesn't have what it takes?"

"Impressive. I didn't think Yugi could ever beet Weevil, but it seems that I was wrong." Mai said. She then shrugged and turned to leave but she then stopped and looked at Abasi. "Whatever the reason you had for quitting competitive dueling you shouldn't let your skills be dragged down by losers like them. You or Yugi."

"You may think that but I say you're wrong and missing out Mai. Maybe one day you'll learn that." Abasi said as she turned and joined her friends.

Weevil was like a sniveling child as he whined about losing to Yami, he even fainted as Joey got in his face and called him a disgrace. Of course since he didn't need it any more Joey relived Weevil of his dueling glove so he could keep track of his own star chips. When he got more than just the one Yugi had given him.

"There, 3 star chips so far, but I still need to win 7 more." Yami said as he looked up at the castle where he knew his grandpa and Pegasus were waiting for him.

Abasi fallowed his line of sight and as she did a vision hit her.

She was standing on a field of purple mist but not alone as she spotted Kaiba brothers. Seto was looking frantic, which was a surprise in and of itself, but the look of terror on Mokuba's face was very bad. The mists wrapped around him and pulled him away from his older brother. Abasi wanted to help them but she wasn't able to move and as such she could only watch as the mist swallowed them as Pegasus's laughter filled her ears.

"Hey Abasi, you in there? Hello?"

Joey's face was close to hers as she came out of the vision which made her jump and fall over. "Joey don't do that! You scared me half to death." She snapped at him.

"You were just staring off into space and not responding when we talked to you. Are you alright?" Tristan asked.

Abasi could see the concern on all of their faces but it was the knowing look on Yami's that helped her to get herself righted out. "Ya I'm fine, I was just lost in thought is all. Sorry I snapped at you Joey."

"Ah don't worry about it. A baby would start crying if they found his ugly mug right in their face." Tristan said with a grin.

"What was that?"

This got the two of them arguing with the rest of them rolling their eyes at their antics. Yami helped Abasi to her feet and quietly asked. "What did you see?"

She thought it over for a moment as she squeezed his hand as the details of the vision crossed her mind, especially the looks on both Kaiba brother's faces. She let his hand go as she pushed it out of her mind, stepping back from him. "I'm not sure yet and until I can tell you and Yugi in privet as it doesn't seem that pressing."

Yami nodded in understanding before he switched places let Yugi have control of his body again. Yugi also gave her a reassuring smile before he stepped between his two friends and tried to calm them down.

(Why am I having a vision about Kiaba and his brother now, or does it have something to do with the tournament?) Abasi thought as she adjusted her pack's straps and fallowed her friends as they head out.
