AN: I imagined Laurence Fishburne as the head chef.
Kaiba looked at his hand and laughed. "You're finished!" He yelled. "I fuse my three Blue Eyes White Dragons to get BLUE EYES ULTIMATE DRAGON!"
A mighty three headed dragon appeared out of thin air and roared at Montgomery.
The dragon was extremely realistic, to the point of even breathing. Its roar even produced a blast of air that pushed Montgomery back.
"Alright." Montgomery said. "I'll set a card in face down defense position and three cards in the spell and trap zone. Then I'll end."
Four Holographic cards appeared on the battlefield.
"See! I already have you scared!"
"Do you?"
Kaiba clicked his tongue and drew a card. He played it in the Spell and trap zone. "I attack your pathetic Face down! Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon! Neutron Blast!"
The Three Dragons attacked causing their attacked to combine and blasted the Holographic card showing a grinning jar.
"You attacked my Morphing Jar." Montgomery Said. "You know what that means right? Since you're a champion Duelist and all."
"Of course, I know what it means!" Kaiba yelled, sending his hand to the graveyard, and drawing five new cards.
Montgomery drew five new cards and smiled at Kaiba. "Do you end?"
"Take Your last turn!"
"I'll draw my card..." Montgomery said, drawing a card. "Next, I'll set two new cards."
"You don't have any card that can match my Blue Eyes! Just give up!"
"Actually Kaiba. I do have one Monster strong enough to rival your Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon, but I don't need it."
"What! How! Why!"
"First. I'll activate Secret Barrel." Montgomery flipped up a trap card. "You obviously know what this one does, so I don't need to explain it to you."
The floor opened up and seven mounted machine guns appeared before open firing on Kaiba.
Kaiba was knocked back as the guns pelted him with 1400 holographic rounds taking him from 2000 to 600 Life Points.
Seto Kaiba: 600
"I'm not finished Just yet Kaiba." Montgomery Said. "I activate Rock Bombardment. I can send one Rock type Monster from my Deck to my Graveyard. You obviously know its effect, so I don't need to explain it to you." He looked through his deck and sent a card to the graveyard.
Kaiba flinched as an ethereal being was launched at him dealing 500 damage to him.
Seto Kaiba: 100
"I'll end." Montgomery said.
Kaiba drew his next card and looked at Montgomery's field.
Montgomery smiled a cheeky smile and waved.
"Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon! Neutron Blast!"
The blast ripped through Montgomery's face down which then exploded, and a disk landed in front of Kaiba with a thud. The disk beeped before exploding dealing 500 points of Damage to Kaiba.
Seto Kaiba: -400.
The group watched in shock and awe as Montgomery calmly destroyed Kaiba.
Kaiba looked at his Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon. How? How had he lost?
"Well now!" Pegasus clapped his hands together. Please follow me. We will have dinner and you can go to bed. Make sure to drop your clothes in the laundry chute before you turn in so they can be cleaned and pressed for you tomorrow. We have a busy day."
Everyone followed Pegasus with the exception of Saru and Kaeru. Kaeru walked up to Saru and Kaiba and looked at them.
Kaeru wore a pale purple suit with a pale purple shirt and pale purple tie. In fact, the only thing that wasn't purple was his shoes and socks, which were white.
"Bro." Saru said. "You Look like Unifrog."
Kaeru looked down at himself and looked at Saru. "Yeah. Well, you look like Ape Fighter."
"Ryder already told me that!"
"Let's go Mister Kaiba." Kaeru urged.
The brothers led Kaiba to his room and drew their decks and overturned the first card.
"Odds or evens?" Saru asked.
"Evens." Kaeru said.
"Inpachi, Level 4." Saru Said.
"T.A.D.P.O.L.E., Level 1." Kaeru Said.
"See you in Four hours." Kaeru said, going to his room.
"See you." Saru Said before standing outside Kaiba's room.
The next morning.
Jason woke up with a weight on his chest. He opened his eye and saw Kazutaka lying in his chest with her arm wrapped around his stomach. He gave her a quick hug and moved her hand before he sat on the floor, cross legged, and began meditating.
His mindscape.
Jason walked through his mindscape to the Undying One's room. When he arrived the Undying One tried grabbing him by the throat, but he ducked and dodged out of the way, hitting the Undying One on the side of his ribs before he hit him a second time and flipped him before curb stomping where he was.
The Undying One rolled out of the way and to his feet before he jumped at Jason.
Jason side stepped and swung his arm out at the Undying One's stomach.
The Undying One wrapped himself around Jason's arm and spun causing Jason to spin or lose his arm.
Jason spun and grabbed the Undying One with both arms and suplexed him into the ground before rolling on top of him and hitting him with his elbow. He punched him and the Undying One grabbed his neck with his feet and flung him off.
Jason rolled into a ball and landed on the wall before he jumped back at the Undying One. He rolled midair and kicked the Undying One hard enough in the face to Knock him into the wall.
The Undying One hit the wall hard enough to make an indent. He ripped himself from the wall and punched at Jason.
Jason dodged backwards until he was pressed against the wall, where he pressed his advance by blocking with a punch and hitting the Undying One in the side with the side of his arm. He did that a second time, pushing the Undying One back before he dropped him.
The Undying One kicked him off and grabbed his throat trying to strangle the life out of him.
Jason put every ounce of strength he had into one final punch to the ribs which caused the Undying one to loosen his grip, allowing Jason to breathe and kick the Undying One off of him, making sure to kick his injured ribs.
"Well done!" The Undying One laughed while clapping. "You truly have the bloodlust I wanted to see."
"I'm not sure if I should take that as a compliment." Jason said, spitting blood on the floor.
"Oh, you should. I don't say that about Just anyone."
"I'll be leaving now if we're finished."
"Come back any time." The Undying One Said.
With that, Jason left his mindscape.
Jason opened his eyes and saw Kazu sitting in front of him.
"Good morning." She said when she saw him open his eyes.
"Morning." He spoke.
Kazutaka took his hand in hers and led him into the bathroom.
They showered and dropped their sleepwear down the laundry chute before drying off and getting dressed.
Kazutaka picked up her phone and blushed when she saw the text.
"What is it?" Jason asked, pulling the eyepatch over his Millennium Eye, feeling the world go silent.
"It's from Mina. She said that Montgomery just told her this." She showed him the text.
Jason had to read it three times to make sure that he'd read it right.
Mina: Montgomery just told me that he wanted to kiss my lips, and when I asked him what was stopping him, he told me that my legs were in the way.
"Damn." Jason said. "Montgomery is smooth."
"I know right! Though, as great as it sounds, I don't think I'm ready for that kind of a relationship yet."
"Fair enough." Jason agreed, pulling on his vest, and buttoning it up. He walked to his duffel bag and pulled out his shoulder Holster and pulled it on before sliding the two magazines on the other side of the Holster. He put the second holster on his hip inside his waistband and the other magazines on the other side before tightening his belt. He pulled up his pant leg and strapped his knife to his shin before pulling his pant leg down. Next, he pulled his suit coat on and buttoned up one of the buttons. Finally, he slid his Duel Disk on and slid the Archfiends into the deck slot.
Kazutaka walked around him and nodded. "You look good." She spoke.
Jason looked her up and down and smiled. "You look amazing."
"Thanks." She blushed, pushing her hair out of her face. "Where are your other decks?" She asked.
Jason turned around and lifted up the back of the suit coat to show four thin boxes on the back of his belt.
"I didn't know that you had four decks." She spoke.
"I have three. The other one is for my deck that I am building."
"What deck is that?"
"I haven't decided yet."
"Okay. Let's go see If Mokuba's awake yet."
They walked to the adjoining room and knocked.
Mokuba opened the door and let them in.
"Hey Mokuba." Kazutaka Said.
"Morning Kazu."
"Hey." Jason Said.
"Hey."
"So. You Ready for whatever today will bring?"
"About as ready as I'll ever be."
"At least we aren't dueling for our souls this time." Jason said.
"Yeah."
"Well. Let's go get breakfast."
The group left Mokuba's room and headed for the dining room. When they arrived, they found Kaiba sitting at the table with Kaeru and Saru standing on either side of him. Joey, Yugi, TéA, and Tristan sat on the other end of the table, far away from Kaiba. Who could blame them when Kaiba was giving off hate like a man possessed.
They sat down in between them to act like a buffer.
"How did you sleep?" Kazutaka asked.
"Not Bad." Joey Said.
"It was more comfortable than last time." TéA said.
"I was more relaxed than last time." Yugi said.
"It was better since Bakura wasn't here." Tristan said.
"How about you Kaiba?" Jason asked.
Kaiba glared at Jason.
"Are you mad because I was right about you being a little league Duelist compared to Montgomery, Mina, and Tina?"
Kaiba wished that Looks could kill so he could put Todd out of his misery. "Shut up Todd."
Montgomery and Mina walked in and sat down.
Kazutaka tried not to look at Mina but failed.
Mina smiled at her and nodded at Jason.
Kazutaka shook her head.
Tina was next to enter the dining room. She was skipping as if she didn't have a care in the world.
Ryder followed soon after, but he looked like he was one wrong step from being put in a coma.
"Are you All right Ryder?" Jason asked.
"Coffee." Ryder coughed out.
"What did you do to him?" Montgomery asked.
"What didn't I do to him?" Tina asked.
"I think you need to dial the intensity back from a 13 to a 6." Montgomery said. "Otherwise, you're going to lose Ryder. Is that what you want?"
"No."
"Then tone it down."
Ryder downed a cup of coffee and shook his head.
"Ryder?" Jason asked. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah. Tina just needs a lot of physical attention. I'm fine."
Tina grabbed Ryder's arm and held on like it was a lifeline.
"Pretty sure she'll calm down when she gets laid." Montgomery said.
"If that was the case then she wouldn't be acting like this in the first place." Mina said.
Everyone looked from Mina to Tina.
"What do you mean?" Mokuba asked.
"I'll tell you when you're older!" Jason and Kaiba yelled in unison.
"Good morning." Pegasus Said coming into the dining room. "Have you all had enough to eat? We have a big day ahead of us."
The group ate and followed Pegasus to the Ramparts.
"What are we doing here Pegasus!" Kaiba demanded.
"Oh, my my Kaiba boy. Are you having flashbacks to when you tried to force little Yugi's hand?"
Kaiba growled at Pegasus.
"We will begin here and make our way down to Sub Basement one where you will be allowed to create your own Duel Monsters Card that will eventually be put into Circulation."
"I thought that we were doing that tomorrow or Thursday." Ryder said.
"We shall see how far we get today Young Ryder."
Pegasus led the group through every nook and cranny of his castle, explaining how each and every piece of art had been acquired, and where it was originally from.
"...and this statue was given to me by the President of Italy. It's a replica of Gian Lorenzo Bernini's "The Ecstasy of Saint Teresa."."
"How much more of this?" Tristan asked Joey.
In response, Joey's stomach growled.
"Lunch time already?" Pegasus asked. "Well. Let's get lunch, and we shall continue from here."
"Are you having lunch brought here?" Kazutaka asked.
"A splendid idea!" Pegasus cheered. "We can have a Picnic right here!"
The staff brought them several carts with food on them, and they pigged out.
"How is This Food so good!" Kazutaka asked.
"You live on Take out." Jason said. "That's how."
"Oh my." Pegasus sounded horrified. "My dear. You shouldn't eat so much takeout. The occasional takeout meal is fine, but to eat it every day. No, no. That won't do at all."
"What do you mean?"
"Jason. I am going to have my chefs teach you how to cook so that Kazutaka will always have a home cooked meal to come home too."
"Okay." Jason shrugged.
"Montgomery. I'll teach you too, and anyone else who wants to learn how to cook."
"Don't we only have one week here?" Ryder asked.
"You'd be amazed at how amazing my chefs are."
"Then sure." Ryder said.
"I'll take care of everything. I'll take you to the kitchen around 3:00 to start training."
"Thank you."
"You're most welcome."
They finished eating and Pegasus continued the tour. When the clock struck three, Pegasus led the group to the kitchens. "We'll continue the tour tomorrow. For now, I'll leave you in the most capable hands of my master chefs."
The group walked into the kitchen and were greeted by the cooking staff.
"We're making Curry." The Head Chef explained. "Now. You'll be divided into groups. Take out your decks and place them on the counter."
Each of them placed their decks on the counter and looked at the chef.
"Now. Draw until you draw a monster card."
Each of them drew a card.
Jason flipped over: Chain Resonator: Level 1
Montgomery flipped over: Stone Statue of the Aztecs: Level 4
Kaeru flipped over: Trade Toad: Level 1
Kaiba flipped over: Blue Eyes White Dragon: Level 8
Kazutaka flipped over: Wattaildragon: Level 6
Mina flipped over: The Thing in the Crater: Level 4
Mokuba flipped over: Medusa Worm: Level 2
Saru flipped over: Ancient Crimson Ape: Level 7
Tina flipped over: Trap Master: Level 3
Yugi flipped over: Beaver Warrior: Level 4
Ryder flipped over: Gren Maju Da Eiza: Level 3
TéA flipped over: Familiar-Possessed - Lyna: Level 4
Tristan flipped over: Swamp Battleguard: Level 5
Joey flipped over: Axe Raider: Level 4
Sina flipped over: Nobleman-Eater Bug: Level 5
"Okay." The Chef Said. "We're going to divide you into groups of odds and evens. One group will help with dinner, and the other with breakfast."
"Okay." Montgomery said.
"Those who cook dinner will start at 3:00 P.M. Those who cook breakfast will start at 3:00 A.M."
"Dibs on not cookin' breakfast." Joey said.
"Jason. Montgomery. We'll flip a coin. Winner chooses which meal to cook."
Montgomery took a coin out of his pocket and flipped it.
"Heads." Jason said.
The coin flipped high into the air.
"Come ahn." Joey Said. "Land on tails."
The coin came down and Montgomery caught it. He placed it on the back of his hand.
"Tails." Joey said.
Montgomery moved his hand and the trio looked at the coin. Jason and the Chef looked at Montgomery before they looked at each other.
"Oops." Montgomery said, blushing. "I grabbed the wrong coin."
"I'll say." Jason said.
Mina pinched the bridge of her nose. "Monty! Tell me you didn't use THAT coin."
"I'd like to, but that would be lying."
"What coin?" Tristan, Joey, Ryder, Yugi, TéA, and Mokuba asked. Sina, Kazutaka, and Tina shook their heads while Kaiba, Saru, and Kaeru didn't seem to be paying attention.
Montgomery tossed Joey the coin and they looked at it. They all blushed. On one side it showed a naked woman facing away from them with the words: "Heads I get Tail." They flipped it over to see the same naked woman with the caption: "Tails I get Head."
Yugi and TéA looked like they were going to die from sheer embarrassment.
Sina looked at Montgomery. "How is it that I'M the more mature sibling!"
"It doesn't matter." The Chef Said. "Jason. Since you won the coin toss, do you want to help cook dinner or breakfast?"
Jason looked at Kaeru, Saru, Tina, Ryder, Tristan, and Sina. "When do you guys want to cook?"
"Choose Breakfast." Joey stage whispered.
Jason looked at Montgomery, Kaiba, Kazutaka, Mina, Mokuba, Yugi, TéA, and Joey. "Hey Montgomery. Want to Switch Tristan for Kazutaka?"
"Sure." Montgomery Said.
Kazutaka walked over to Jason's group and Tristan walked over to Montgomery's group.
"Which meal do you guys want to cook?" Jason asked.
"I'm not opposed to cooking breakfast." Ryder said.
"But it's so early." Tina whined.
"Which is why we go to bed early." The Chef Said.
"If we cook dinner then that means that I don't have to hear my brother and Mina going at it." Sina said.
"Could Kaeru or I switch places with someone?" Saru asked. "That way Mister Kaiba has one of us with him at all times?"
"Yes!" Kaiba Said. "One of you switch with Mokuba!"
Kaeru and Saru looked at each other and drew a card.
"Odds or Evens?" Saru asked.
"Evens.
Kaeru: Unifrog: Level 2
Saru: Inpachi: Level 4
Kaeru walked over to Montgomery's group and Mokuba walked to Jason's.
"Now. Pick a meal."
"Dinner." Jason Said, taking very little pleasure in watching Joey and Tristan suffer, and a little more pleasure in the wince Kaiba gave.
"Very well." The Chef Said. "You eight. Get out. We have work to do."
Montgomery's group left and Jason's group stayed to fix dinner.
A group moved through the forest, fast enough to make progress, but slow enough not to get caught.
"Colonel!" A man yelled.
The man in front looked at his subordinate. "What is it, Lieutenant?"
"We found a dueling platform in a thicket over that way."
"Get the specs so we can return it to Mister Kelpie."
"Yes sir." The Lieutenant ran back to the dueling platform.
The Colonel looked down and found a Duel Monsters card in the grass. "Malefic Dark Rainbow Dragon." He chuckled. "It looks like today is my lucky day." He placed it in his deck box, smiling at his fortune.
Jason sped through dicing up all of the ingredients that needed dicing and handed them to Kazutaka who seasoned them and seared them before adding them to the pot.
Tina and Ryder were working on a salad, Tina making rather lewd comments like telling Ryder that he could toss her salad anytime.
"We are guests here." Ryder said.
"Tina!" The Chef scolded. "Leave your love life in the bedroom! You're in my kitchen, not on Spring Break!"
"Alright." Tina Said.
"What was that?" The Chef asked.
"Yes sir?"
"In my kitchen you will address me as chef. Am I understood?"
"Yes Chef!"
"That's better. Now. Back to work."
They worked on dinner and took it out to the dining room where Pegasus looked giddy at the prospect of a delicious meal.
"let's eat." Pegasus said.
They ate and Montgomery's group was sent to bed while Jason's group was led to the kitchen to clean up, after which they went to bed.
The next morning
Jason woke up and meditated. He suplexed the Undying One into the ground and left his mindscape.
He and Kazutaka showered, picked up Mokuba, and headed to breakfast where they saw Joey and Tristan sleeping at the table.
Kaiba stood stoically at the window looking out.
"Don't talk to Kaiba." Montgomery said. "Apparently he can't do anything right when it comes to cooking."
"Yeah." Mina said. "Somehow he caught the napkin dispensers on fire and drenched the salt and pepper shakers in water."
Jason looked at Kaiba in confusion.
"Stuff it Todd!" Kaiba yelled.
"Kaiba!" The Chef yelled. "By the time you leave this island, I'll have you cooking Instant Raman like a pro!"
Jason couldn't help but laugh at the situation.
After breakfast Pegasus led them on the rest of the tour of the castle.
"... and here we are." Pegasus said, stopping at a door. "Here you will be allowed to make your very own card to help with your deck. After which you will be allowed to make your own deck..."
"Excuse me, Master Pegasus." Croquet said. "But there was a problem with the Card design lab. Perhaps allow them to make their decks while the problem is handled."
"An excellent idea Croquet." Pegasus said as he led them to the elevator, and pressed B3.
The group was lowered into a room with boxes upon boxes of Duel Monsters cards.
"Go wild." Pegasus Said as He let them loose on the room.
Jason, Montgomery, Mina, Tina, Kazutaka, Sina, and Mokuba walked through the boxes of cards, just looking to see what they could make.
Yugi, TéA, Joey, Tristan, Kaiba, Kaeru, and Saru stayed at the front.
"Kaiba boy. The Blue Eyes Cards Are over there." He pointed to a box labeled:
Blue Eyes Cards.
Kaiba ran over and began looking through the sparse cards. Kaeru and Saru following him.
"Little Yugi." Pegasus pointed at another box claiming:
Dark Magician Cards
Yugi walked over and began looking through the box.
"Now, now." Pegasus looked at TéA. "Let me think. Ah yes. I think that you would benefit by looking through the Spellcaster Box located at column 3, row 6."
"Thanks Mister Pegasus." TéA Said running off.
Pegasus looked at Tristan. "Column 9, Row 9."
Tristan ran towards Column 9.
Pegasus walked over to Saru and Kaeru. "Saru, why don't you go check out Column 2, Row 4?"
Saru looked at Kaeru who nodded.
"When he gets back, you can go to Column 5, Row 9."
"I'll check it out when he gets back."
"Excellent." Pegasus said before he walked to his office to watch the Duelist's build new decks."
The room was filled with an alarm, signifying that it was 2:30.
"My my my." Pegasus crowed. "Look at the is almost time to head up for dinner. Time flies when you're having fun. We even missed lunch."
The group headed for the elevator and ascended to the first floor. They stepped out of the elevator only for Jason to stop them.
"What is it, Jason?" Mokuba asked.
A man burst out of the stairs and ran to them. "Mister Pegasus!" He yelled. "I'm so glad I found you."
"Ah, yes. Lotus. Please come here. I have some people I'd like you to meet."
The man, Lotus, walked up to them. "Hello. My name is Lotus Limetree."
"Lotus?" Jason and Montgomery asked in unison.
"Yes. My dad gave me my name. It was meant to be a joke, but then my mom died and..."
"Why didn't you change your name when you turned 18?" Jason asked.
Lotus looked at Jason for a second before he yelled: "I can..."
There was a flash and a bang as the world went white and the air was filled with ringing.
Jason ripped off his eyepatch and the world came rushing in.
"I can't see!"
"What happened!"
"Why can't I see?!"
"Get down Mr. Kaiba!"
"Protect Mr. Kaiba!"
"Was that a flashbang!? Get Mokuba to safety!"
"YUGI!?"
"YUGE!"
"Montgomery!"
"Big brother!"
"Ryder!"
"Tina!"
"Big brother! Jason! Where are you?"
"Jason!"
"Oh my. What was that?"
"We need to get Mr. Pegasus to safety!"
"What was that? Why can't I see?"
"Jason. I know you can hear me. Let's go."
Jason let his instinct take control and pulled his gun from his holster and aimed.
"We can take them now..."
The hallway was filled with a roar as Terrorking Archfiend ran at the intruders.
"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT THING!"
"LABRYNTH WALL!" Montgomery yelled.
There was a grinding sound as the hallway was filled with stone walls.
"WHAT THE HELL! WHO ARE THESE GUYS!"
"Surrender!" Montgomery yelled. "We've got you trapped!"
"We will never surrender! We won't leave until we get what we've come for!"
"And what is that?" Montgomery said as Jason's hearing came back.
"As many cards as we can carry out of here!"
"I have a better idea." Pegasus said. "I propose a duel. If you win then I'll let you take as many cards out of here as you can carry."
"And if we lose?"
"You leave and tell Kelpie that he failed."
"Kelpie?" Jason asked.
"Archibald Kelpie." Pegasus explained. "My rival."
"I see." Montgomery said. "So. Who's dueling?"
"Me." Jason said.
"I request that Lotus be one of the Duelists." Pegasus requested.
"My lieutenant and I will be dueling." The man said.
"Very well." Pegasus said. "If you will follow me."
The group followed Pegasus to the room that the Duelist Kingdom Finals had been played in.
"How are we going to duel?" Lotus asked.
Jason tossed him one of his Duel Gauntlets. "We'll use these, and they can use the field."
"Let's get this over with." The man said.
Jason and Lotus went to their respective sides of the field and activated their Duel Disks while the intruders went to the Duel Platform.
"Let's Duel!" They shouted in unison.
