"HUMAN YUGI, I THE GREAT PAPYRUS HAVE BEEN SOMEWHAT CURIOUS ABOUT SOMETHING." Papyrus asked. "FRISK AND CHARA HAVE TWO OF THE STARS IN THEIR GLOVE WHILE YOU ONLY HAVE ONE, AND HUMAN JOEY HAS ONE STAR BUT NO GLOVE."
"The thing is, technically I wasn't supposed to compete in the tournament. Yugi lent me one of his Star Chips so I could win the money for my sister." Joey explained
"Your sister?" Alphys inquired. "Is something wrong?"
Joey looked down. "My sister Serenity, she's had pretty bad vision since we were kids and now there's a chance she could go blind."
"Go blind, that's horrible." Toriel gasped in shock.
"The thing is, winning this tournament could give me the money I need to pay for the operation that could help her." Joey told the monsters. "That's why Yugi lent me one of his Star Chips."
"We have to help them, if we win we'll make sure he returns Yugi's grandpa and we'll give Joey the money." Chara stated.
"Of course we will, from this point forward the four of us are a team." Frisk smiled causing Yugi and Joey to look at her in confusion for a second before smiling themselves.
"With the four of us working together there's no way we won't defeat Pegasus." Yugi mentioned confidently as Frisk switched places with Chara.
"Chara?" Toriel inquired. "Is something wrong my child?"
Chara turned to Toriel and smiled. "No, nothing's wrong. I was just going to see if I could find that creep who threw Yugi's cards away."
"You mean Weevil Underwood, the Japanese national champion?" Tea inquired. "Why would you want to be anywhere near him?"
"He's a champion?" Chara questioned in shock. "He probably got that title by cheating. Anyway, I was going to let him know he isn't getting away with what he did."
"I appreciate the thought, but I'll take care of Weevil. Once we get to the island." Yugi mentioned. "I may not have Exodia, but I have other cards and as long as I trust in my deck I'll manage to win."
Chara met Yugi's eye as he said that and she smiled seeing his determination to save his grandfather and win the tournament.
"I recognize that look." Sans smiled. "something tells me the four of you are going to do pretty well in this competition."
"Yeah, you're right Sans." Chara agreed with a smile.
"Well, we won't get to the island for another few hours so we should get some rest before the tournament begins." Toriel suggested.
"That sounds like a good idea." Yugi agreed. "See you guys later."
"See you later Yugi." Chara replied before the group separated to their own rooms.

"How many people are going to be like Weevil?" Frisk asked as Chara lay in the bed..
"I don't know Frisk, there are a lot of Flowey's in the world but at the same time there are people like you and Yugi." Chara answered. "You managed to help me and we're going to help Yugi and Joey."
"Yeah, we are." Frisk smiled. "We're going to rescue Yugi's grandpa, and get the money for Joey's sister."
"This is the second time you needed to get a lot of money isn't it?" Chara recalled. "The first was for Muffet's bake-sale."
Chara and Frisk both started laughing at the memory, 9999 gold for a single spider donut.
"Yeah, she's gotten a little less strict with her prices though." Frisk mentioned as the two of them slowly stopped laughing.
"Yeah, 25 gold is a lot less difficult to get." Chara smiled. "Well, we should get some rest for the tournament."
"You're right, good night Chara." Frisk smiled.
"Night Frisk." Chara smiled before closing her eyes and slowly falling asleep.

"My child, can you hear me?" Toriel called from outside the room.
Chara slowly opened her eyes before turning to the door. "One second mom."
As she said that, Chara walked over to the door and opened it revealing all of the friends she and Frisk had made in the Underground along with Yugi, Joey, Tea, and Tristan.
"Morning Chara, are you and Frisk ready for the tournament?" Joey asked as Chara and Frisk switched again.
"We're both ready, from this point forward we all have to do our best." Frisk smiled.
"You're right about that Frisk." Yugi agreed before the group walked to the front of the boat where an island had appeared in the distance. "We're coming Pegasus."
"Looks like practice time is over, all that's left is to do our best." Chara told Frisk.
"Yeah, and just like King Asgore told you Chara there's only one thing to do." Frisk smiled.
"You're right, we have to stay determined." Chara smiled.

As the boat docked on the island, the competitors, Frisk's friends from the Underground, and Yugi's friends all got off the boat and walked up towards a large castle.
"Hey, do you see that, there's Weevil Underwood, the Japanese National champion." mentioned a male duelist.
"It's not just him, that's Rex Raptor the runner-up, and Mako Tsunami he took third place." added a second male duelist.
"The best three in Japan?" Frisk asked before shaking her head. "No, the four of us will manage to win."
"That's right." Joey agreed with a smile.
"Looks like things are about to start." Sans noted just as Pegasus stepped out onto the castle's balcony.
"Duelists, I am Maximillion Pegasus." Pegasus stated. "You have been invited here because you are the best of the best, the most skilled duelists in the world. However only one of you will climb above the others and claim the illustrious title of King of Games. Now then, I'm sure you have questions about the rules, and I will be more than happy to answer them. First, you should each have received a dueling gauntlet and two Star Chips."
As Pegasus said that the duelists all looked at the red glove with ten star slots around the wrist.
(Frisk, Chara, Yugi, Joey, Tea, Tristan, and the monsters from the Underground have reached Duelist Kingdom and Pegasus is preparing to explain some of the rules. Next chapter two duels will begin. As always any reviews or critique is appreciated.)
