We find the group walking looking for a place to eat. "Man we have been walking around this island for eight hours and there's no burger stands or nothing" said Joey. He was a bit happy for winning his first duel.

"You would think Pegasus would have at least a few food stalls up for his Tournament." said Daphne.

Although Daphne bought water, a few snack cakes and chips. She forgot to grab bread and meat for sandwiches. "We have to do something fast!" Tea said, her control breaking down every second. "I've got to have my five basic food groups or it's... metabolic meltdown!"

"Five basic food groups?" Harry asked trying to count the food groups on his fingers.

"Hey, chill you you guys. I've got it covered," Tristan said. He took a book out of his backpack. "Ta-dah, the Great Outdoor Survival Guide!"

"Can we eat it?" Joey asked dryly.

"Better than that, it lists all the plants, roots, berries, and grasses we can eat."said Tristan reading his book.

The others suddenly felt sick. Terra voiced all of their thoughts. "All of a sudden, we're' not feeling very hungry."

Joey smelled something cooking with his nose. "Hey guys, I think I smell something cooking over here" He said.

"I knew you were a Mutt Wheeler." said Kaiba smirking. His suitcase still in his hands.

"I'm not a Mutt Rich boy!" said Joey taking off into the direction of the smell. "He's hallucinating." Holly decided.

"Maybe not." Tristan figured. "Remember, it wasn't his brain that beat Mai, it was his nose."

The source of what Joey smelled was three fish cooking over an open fire. Joey's mouth was watering and even Yugi had to admit they smelled good. Finally, Joey couldn't take it and ran for it until Nova stopped him. "Nova! What you doing?" he said as Nova set him back near the others.

"Those fish are not ours to take." said Nova.

"Nova's right, whoever left these fish here would not be happy for us to take em." said Kisara.

A group of boys with the leader a big pudgy bot also smelled the fish. Two of the boys went and took the fish and ran back to them. "Ain't that the kid who beat Seto Kaiba Dudley?" asked one boy

"Yeah Pier, no way that shrimp could have defeated Kaiba and summoned Exodia." said Dudley. He was about to go challenge them when he spotted a lone figure come out of the sea. "Better yet, there about to be in trouble." said Dudley. The four boys ran back into the forest with the fish. Astoria noticed the fish was gone. "Hey guys, someone else must have taken the fish!" She said.

"Aww man, that sucks" said Blaise as the group approached the fire. "Enjoyed yourselves, fish thieves," a voice said . "Because this is your last meal!" The voice startled the others. "How dare you eat my fish, you thieving poachers!" Joey, Tristan, and the other boys were startled and for a change of pace,Tristan leapt into Tea's arms. Unfortunately, he was too heavy for her and the two ended up face-down in the dirt, though Tristan's head was stuck in the ground . The voice belong to a boy standing on the coast.

The boy had spiky black hair and wore cut-off jeans and a dueling glove. He had a harpoon with a fish skewered on it. "How dare you steal my fish, don't you have any man..." A tidal wave splashed against the shore and washed him over the cliff. Fortunately, he survived. ""Let's try that again." the boy said seething.

"Listen dude, we didn't take your fish, we were just passing by." said Neville in hopes of calming him down. The boy wasn't buying it "How dare you steal my fish, you bottom-dwelling thieves!"

"Chill out, guy, it's just a few fish," Joey said as well. "Fish that do not belong to you! And to steal a fisherman's catch proves you have no honor!" said the boy.

"Hey, wait a minute," Kaiba said eyeing the glove. "Aren't you Mako Tsunami, the top-rank ocean-based Duelist.?"

"And who might you all be?" The boy asked in return before he recognize him. "Seto kaiba? I thought you were taking a break from dueling?"

"Hey yeah, you're that freaky fish guy." Joey agreed.

"I AM NOT A FREAKY FISH GUY! I am Mako Tsunami, Duelist extraordinaire of the seven seas!" Mako paused in his introduction as Tea (who had finally got Tristan's head from the ground) burst into laughter. "Uh... what are you laughing about?" he asked.

"Your head! You got company." Tea pointed to the small squid that attached itself to Mako's hair. Mako growled and threw the squid back into the ocean much to Joey, Tristan's and the twins dismay."

"My name is Harry Potter," said Harry introducing himself and he introduced the rest of his friends.

"I'm Yugi Muto." Yugi introduced.

"Harry Potter, the only other kid in the world besides Seto Kaiba to own three Blue eyes and Yugi Moto, the only kid ever to defeat him in a duel . It would be an honor to duel you two." said Mako. "Same here, Mako." said the two boys.

He had calm down before bringing up a net full of fish. An orca cry was heard from the sea. "I have not been a gracious host. Come allow me to share my catch." said Mako. He put the fish on sticks and cooked some fish. "

"I must apologize, I've been ungracious." He turned to the others. "If you are friends of Yugi Moto and Harry Potter, please, come sit down and eat your fill."

The group sat by the fire and ate with the ocean duelist. Kisara had manage to get the Duelist Kingdom Tournament Rulebook from Weevil who stole it from the castle. She was reading it with Seto.

"That was good, Mako." Tea commented when they were done. "Where did you learn to cook so well?"

"I had to fend for myself since I was a tadpole but it was my father who taught me how to fish and cook." said Mako

"So what brings you here to the competition?" Yugi asked.

"I was raised on a fishing boat where I learned to love the sea," Mako began. "So if I win here, I would be able to get a vessel of my very own. Of course, I'll have to beat a few Duelists first." He laughed hardily.

"Your own boat? That would be so cool, living out on the blue open sea." said Tracy

"Yes, the ocean is amazing," Mako agreed. "And we have shared a special bond since I was born. I can tell when the sea is happy by the way it sparkles... and when it is angry, by the shifting tides."

"That's pretty impressive," Kisara said putting the rulebook away in her backpack. "I wish I had those acute senses, Mako." Tea nodded agreeing with her.

"Well, it's been great, Mako, thanks for sharing your catch with us?'," Joey said.

"Leaving so soon, are you?" Mako asked in what appeared to be disappointment.

The others began to say their goodbyes with Yugi saying that maybe they'll meet up in the competition.

"Sooner than you think!" Mako announced. He threw his harpoon which almost stabbed Yugi in the foot. "I treated you to dinner; perhaps you will honor me to a duel."

"You try to skewer Yugi and expect him to accept your challenge for a duel?" Tea said with rising fury.

"Wait, Tea." Rose whispered. "Look, the harpoon almost hit Yugi but it didn't. If Mako was truthful and he really is an expert in the sea, then he could've easily pierced one of Yugi's organs with it, but he didn't. I bet for him, that's an equivalent of throwing down the gauntlet, a challenge."

"He could've just asked him instead of spearing him." said Tea. Daphne and the other girls wondered if Tea had a huge crush on Yugi. "He's nuts." Joey commented, not hearing the explanation.

"No but I am an expert fisherman and you have taken the bait." said Mako grinning

"What bait?" Susan asked.

"Why, the fish of course. I laid it out and lured you all right to it." He pointed to the group. "But I never expected to catch Yugi Muto or Harry Potter."

Harry stood in front of Yugi in case Mako tried to skewer Yugi again.

The others tried to convince Yugi to not take Mako's challenge but Mako insisted. "I reeled in another Duelist a short time ago, but he was not a worthy catch." He pointed to Yugi. "But a duel against you would be an excellent test!"

The Millenium Puzzle glowed as its powers were revealed. Yugi turned into what Tea called it his Dueling mode. Kaiba remembered that this happened before his duel with Yugi. "Mako Tsunami, I accept your challenge." he said.

A dueling arena rose from the sea. Yugi, and Mako took their places. The arena was split into two halves, one half was land and the other was sea.

"Name your stakes." Yugi requested.

"I'll wager two stars." said Mako

"Two stars." Yugi agreed. They each removed the stars from their glove and placed them on the table.

"Let's duel!" Yugi and Mako cried out.

Mako was ecstatic about dueling Yugi Moto. /Finally, a real test of my dueling strength,/ he thought. The life point counters were set and the duel began./

(MT: 2000)

(YM: 2000)

"This should be some match." Tea commented.

"Sink that soggy sucker, Yugi!" Joey cheered.

"I'm curious to see how you deal with my mighty denizens of the deep," Mako said summoning a monster. But to Yugi and the other's surprise, it didn't appear. Rather, the only clue that it had been summoned was that an area of Mako's sea-side of the field was glowing. This could only mean one thing: the monster was under water.

"How can I choose what card to play when I don't even know what I am fighting?" Yugi wondered.

"This I don't like." Joey muttered.

"The sea conceals many things beneath its shifting surface," Mako commented.

"As long as that thing stays submerge, I can't attack." said Yugi

"Oh, I promise it won't stay submerged for very long," Mako assured him.

"I better prepare for the worst, Yugi decided. With as strong of a defense as possible/

"Clearly this is Yugi's first encounter with sea-base Duel Monsters", Mako thought noticing Yugi's bewildered expression. He will learn first hand what a powerful ally the sea can be. It gives my creatures a field power bonus, and it conceals them, making their stealthy attacks even more lethal/

"How can Yugi fight what he can't see?" Joey asked.

"This isn't good." Tea said.

"Something fishy is going on here," Tristan complained.

"Mako's strategy is using the Sea to his advantage over his opponents. Let's see how Yugi can handle it" said Kaiba crossing his arms. "It seems that my ocean-based strategy has caught you completely by surprise, Yugi," Mako called.

"Maybe so, Yugi admitted. But I can still raise a strong defense./ He said "I call upon the Horned Imp!" A rock-colored imp with a horn on his head appeared.(1300/1000)

"Now, Fiend Kraken!, ensnare him!" Mako ordered. Giant tentacles lashed out from the water and pulled Yugi's imp apart.(1200 → 1560/1400 → 1820)

"Your good, Mako, a brilliant opening play." Yami Yugi congratulated.

"I am pleased you appreciate it," Mako replied. "Though I doubt your Imp did.""

(MT: 2000)

(YM: 1740)

"Well, now I know what I'm up against." said Yami Yugi

"Yes, the mighty ocean commands respect! As do the creatures who inhabit it! Said Mako. The orca cry came again. Astoria and the twins looked down to see a Orca by the ring. "Daph, A real orca!"

Mako smiled. "I see you met Kaiko, He has been with me for a long time."

"Lucky" said Holly that he has a pet killer whale.

"Maybe I can prepare an attack that would destroy his monsters even though I can't see him, Yugi figured. "I summon the Feral Imp!" A green gargoyle-like creature with a horn on its head as well.(1300/1200)

"I am aware of your feral monster," Mako said as he summoned a monster in response. "And it's electrical attack. So for my next card..." He set a monster in defense mode. A loud cry could be heard from the sea side's depth.

"I don't like the sound of that," Rose said.

Mako laughed. "That is the battle cry of my creature!"

"It'll be crying all right,"Yami Yugi said laying down another card. "Once I combine my Feral Imp with the magical Horn of the Unicorn!" A golden horn replaced the Feral Imp's normal one as its attack and defense points were raised.(2000/1200)

"All right." Joey said.

"What?" Tea asked.

"Yugi can't see Mako's monsters, but he knows they're under water and water conducts electricity!" said Joey

"So they're vulnerable to the Feral Imp's electrical attack!" Tea said beginning to catch on. "That is so smart!"

"Magic Lightning Attack!" said Yami. The Imp shot electricity into the water.

"It's a fish fry." Joey jokes.

But Mako didn't seem upset, quite the contrary. And soon, the reason revealed itself. His life points weren't decreasing.

"Your strategy has failed, Yugi." Mako said.

"But how?" said Terra.

"As a sea-based Duelist, I'm perfectly aware that water conducts electricity. So I played my Giant Jellyfish (1200/1500- 1560/1950-). It has the magical ability to absorb all electrical attacks." Mako counterattacked with his Fiend Kraken and destroyed the Feral Imp "Did you enjoy my Kraken's embrace?" He asked laughing.

(M: 2000)

(YY: 1480)

"I've never dueled against creatures like these before. It feels like I'm battling against Mako's sea monsters and the awesome power of the ocean itself." thought Yugi

"Do any of your monsters have the ability to stand up to my ocean pets?" asked Mako.

"I have the power of Silver Fang And I combine it with the magic of the full moon to double his ferocity!" said Yami. A moon appeared over Yugi's wolf monster and it howled.(1200/800) but with full moon his attack power was raised to 1500.

"Ferocious indeed," Mako said laughing. "But the moon also controls the tides causing them to rise allowing me to unleash my next great creature. Arise, mighty Kuriyo shi!" A large blue and white sea snake popped up creating a tidal wave with it.(1800 → 2340/1500 → 1950). Behold, the mighty Kuriyo-shi, a creature so massive that when it rises up from the ocean's depths, it creates its own tidal wave! Your creature's brave, Yugi, but it can't stand up to Kuriyo-shi's mighty tidal attack."

The monster unleashed the tidal wave drowning Silver Fang. "But my Kuriyo-shi did more than just wash your dog away. It considerably altered our playing field." It was true; the water had overtaken Yugi's side of the field leaving a small island in its place.

"In my previous duels, Kuriyo-shi's attack is so massive that it leaves nothing in its wake. I think it was quite considerate of my pet to leave you a patch of dirt to stand on. Or does it make you uneasy to be surrounded on all sides of the sea?" Mako's expression suddenly grew dark. "All men give pause before the mighty ocean, even the greatest of fishermen."

"You mean your father..." said Yami Yugi

Mako dropped his cards on the table. "My father was a great fisherman. He taught me my love of the sea. But... one day, the sea... took him. I loved going out on the boat with my father. It was just the two of us and the big, beautiful, ocean. We never suspected that the sea would turn on us. It was a bright day when it happened. My father suspected a storm had been brewing and didn't want to take any chances. He told me that it was better not to challenge the mighty sea. And he was right. The calm ocean turned into a wallowing maelstrom! It rocked our boat all over the place. My father strapped me to the main mast to keep me from falling over, but it was pointless. A tidal wave capsized our boat. When the storm died out, our little boat had been washed ashore. My father was right, I had been safe, but he... because he had stopped to tie me down, he had no time to secure himself!"

"I'm sorry Mako, I know what it's like. My dad died from a madman attack." said Harry with a tear on his eyes after hearing that story. . To their shock kaiba put a hand on his shoulder to assume him that everything was okay.

"Poor guy." Kisara muttered sad as well.

"I've all but given up hope, but then I noticed that our lifeboat was missing. I know my father is alive. So I will win this contest, buy a ship, and sail the seven seas until I find him! That is why I duel, Yugi, that is why I must win and you must lose." said Mako

"I understand, Mako, believe me," Yugi empathized with his opponent. "But I can't let you win."

The others were taken aback by Mako's story. "Mako duels for his Dad like Yugi duels for his Grandpa," Joey related.

"Whoa, this is too intense." said Tristan.

Yugi thought /With so little land left, I really need to make this next play count. I need something that will help me turn the tides. Something like... this card!/ "Giant Soldier of Stone! ( 1300-1690, 2000-2600)" Yugi's defense position monster fit its name. It was crouched on the small land with its arms wrapped around its body. "You may have shrunk my battlefield down to an island, Mako, but my Stone Soldier still gets a field power bonus!" said Yami Yugi

Mako said "Your massive monster can barely fit on that rock let alone do battle with my mighty undersea attack force!" Yami Yugi didn't retort. "And he's surrounded on all ides by the ocean, making him easy prey for... Great White Terror ((1500 → 1950/1200 → 1560)! A shark appeared briefly before descending into the ocean. "This monster will lead my other deep-sea soldiers in an all-out ocean onslaught!" said Mako.

"Yugi's guy is outnumbered four to one." Joey realized.

"I don't like those odds." Harry added.

"His stone soldier is about to become fish food," said Blaise"

"This is it, Yugi! It's over, but you dueled honorably." said Mako

"You're a fair and worthy opponent yourself Mako, but I also duel with the fate of a loved one at does Harry, Kaiba, Joey and Kisara." Mako was taken aback by Yugi's revelation. "And I can't afford to lose. I switch my Stone Soldier to attack mode!" The Soldier stood up.

"Attack mode, but why? He can't attack my sea monsters while they're underwater." said Mako shocked.

"But his target isn't your sea monsters. I'm having him attack a card I laid on the field myself. The Moon!"" Yami pointed to the moon which was still visible.

"No!"Shouted Mako

The Stone Soldier drew one of his swords (also made of rock). "Now, Stone Soldier, destroy the moon!" Yami ordered. The Soldier stabbed the moon and broke it apart. "As you yourself said, Mako, the moon does control the tides; its ebb and its flow. So I ordered my Stone Soldier to obliterate the moon causing the ocean's tide to reverse and recede." The tide literally went out. Now it was more land than sea and Mako's monsters were beached. "And now I'll deliver the final blow. I combine my Curse of Dragon with the magic of the burning land card to wipe out your life points!" Yugi's skeleton dragon appeared and fried Mako's fish

(YM: 1480)Winner

"Destroying your own moon card was a brilliant maneuver, Yugi, well done, you dueled honorably!" Mako congratulated. "You dueled honorably yourself, Mako." said Yugi. the two shook hands after the duel.

As Mako handed his star chips over to Yugi, his stomach growled almost as loud as Joey's did. "My, that Dueling made me hungry; time for some more fishing. Farewell, my friends!" Mako dove back into the ocean. Kaiko went after him as well.

""Bye, Mako," Tea called. "Take care!"

"You know, Mako really wasn't such a bad guy after all," said Daphne. Yugi was still in his dueling mode as the other yugi appeared. Kisara approached Yugi. "are you the other yugi?" She asked.

"Indeed, you can all call me Yami, I am a spirit that resides within the Millenium Puzzle with no memory of who i am or where i come from." said Yami. /so the other yugi is a spirit that looks like him and is residing inside the puzzle./ thought Harry.

"I want to thank you for freeing Seto from his dark obsession Yami" said Kisara.

"Your welcome" said Yami before he let Yugi take back control. "Oh man, we forgot to ask Mako to bring us back some fish." Joey realized.

"We'd have to duel him for it." Harry pointed out.

The others laughed except for Kaiba. The group left Mako's campsite at once. They got to witness Weevil being taken to the ship leaving duelist kingdom with several others. Blaise dueled a duelist named George and won his two starchips. The sun was starting to set as we find them back at the grassfield. They saw some duelist settling in for the night. "It's nice to see some normal people for once" said Tea, she was holding Joeys egg for him while he was stretching his arms.

"Oi! Wheeler!" shouted a voice that belonged to Rex Raptor, the Dino Duelist. Joey turned to hear him shouting. "How on earth did you acquire a Time Wizard card, such a rare card like that doesn't belong to a Rookie. I challenge you to a duel. My two rarest cards for your Time Wizard, Baby Dragon as well as two Starchips." said Rex./

"I accept your challenge Rex" said Joey. Yugi knew that Joey has to fight his own battles and wished him luck. A duel arena was set and Joey and Rex took their places on field 45. A crowd gathered to watch the duel.

"Let's Duel!" shouted the two.

(JW: 2000)

(RR: 2000)

Joey saw that he already drawn Time Wizard and Baby Dragon along with Leogun(1750/1550), Kuriboh, and Axe draws Metalmorph from his deck. With a plan in motion to summon his Thousand Dragon. "Baby Dragon, defense mode!" He said The little orange dragon appeared going like a little baby. (1200/900). "I end my turn" said Joey. Rex draws from his deck.

"You never leave a baby unattended, and you're about to find out why. Two-Headed King Rex , attack!" said Rex summoning his favorite monster. A twin headed purple dinosaur-dragon hybrid creature appeared and stomped the Baby Dragon.(2080/ 1580)

"Poor Baby; looks like we found out what he was made of." said Rex ending his turn. Joey was frustrated that he couldn't play his combo but instead let himself cool down. "You may have stopped my combo Rex, I still have plenty to serve up, I summon Axe Raider in attack mode" he said.

A barbaric warrior holding a double-bladed axe appeared and got the field bonus.(2210, 1495)

"Now slay that Dino!" said Joey. Axe raider destroys Rex's dinosaur with its ace.

(JW: 2000)

(RR: 1870

Rex said "Don't let it go to your head. Sword Arm of Dragon!, cut that Axe Raider down to size!" A Stegosaurus with a large arrow-shaped tail appeared and stabbed the Axe Raider."(2275,2630)

(JW:1825)

(RR: 1870)

"Drats, That's the second monster he destroyed. I better go on the defense" thought Joey setting a monster he just drawn from his deck. Rex draws another card from his deck. "I summon Megazowler in attack mode" said Rex. A triceratops appeared on the field (2340/2200). Rex had his monster attack his set monster which was Rock Ogre. "Hah! Reduced to rubble! I certainly sent him back to the stone ages." said Rex with a glee ending his turn.

Joey draws Flame Swordsman from his deck. "I summon Flame Swordsman in attack mode" said Joey. A samurai wearing red and blue armor and carrying a large sword appeared and was boosted by the field power bonus.(1800-2340, 1600-2080).

"Slay that Dino Flame Swordsman!," said Joey. Flame Swordsman destroyed Megazowler since he's a fire monster and dinosaurs lose their field bonus against fire type monsters.

(RR: 1330)

(JW: 1825)

"Tell me how a swordsman can beat a dinosaur?" asked Rex.

"It's because Dinosaurs monsters are weak against fire monsters" said Joey. Neville told him about that since he uses a dino deck as well. "Looks like I found the secret to beating your dinos. Hope your not too "saur" about it." the group groaned at Joey's pun.

Rex switched Sword Arm Of Dragon to defense mode. Joey defeated that, likewise to Rex's next three dinosaur cards. Uraby,Crawling Dragon and Trakadon.

"Yeah, I knew you could make a comeback, Joey!" said Yugi. Mai came over and she was watching the duel as well.

"This duel isn't over yet. One card isn't going to win this for you." said Rex.

"All right then, how about two. Swamp Battleguard!" said Joey. Swamp Battleguard appeared next to Flame Swordsman(1800-2340, 1500-1950)

"Big deal, I have a monster that can wipe that smug look off your face permanently!" He drew a card. He smirked "All right! Meet the top link of the food chain, Serpent Night Dragon!" Just as its name suggested, the Serpent Night Dragon was midnight-black and serpentine-shaped.(2350/2400), Where did he get such a rare card" said Kaiba looking at the rare monster.

"This rare card is awarded to those elite few who made it to the finals of the National Championships. But for a loser like you, it should be an honor just to get smashed by it! Nightmare Sonic Blast" The Serpent Night Dragon destroyed the Flame Swordsman.

(RR: 1330)

(JW: 1815)

"Poor Joey," Tea said. "Just because you have such a rare dragon doesn't mean its unbeatable." said Joey starting his turn. He drew a card. It was the Lava Battleguard. A card he borrowed from Tristan. Tristan was always there for him, He remembered one time he was about to be beaten up by seven guys. Tristan showed up and helped him. A true friend he was. "Well? What's the card so my dragon can destroy it"

"A card my best friend gave me. I summon Lava Battleguard in attack mode" said Joey . Lava Battleguard appeared on the field next to Swamp Battleguard.(1550 → 2015/1800 → 2340)

"Oh yeah, show em how it's done Lava Battleguard!" said Tristan. Lava looked at him and nodded.

"What a touching reunion. Too bad my Serpent Night Dragon about to rip it to shreds. Now, attack the green one!" said Rex. The blasts went towards the Swamp Battleguard, but then were deflected back, destroying the dragon. As the dust cleared, everyone could see that the Lava Battleguard blocked the blasts for the Swamp Battleguard.

"Tristan's card was there for me right when I needed it the most." said Joey.

"Of course, those two monsters are like best friends and when they're on the field together, they help power each other up." Yugi explained. "Just like how you and Joey help out in real life, huh, Tristan?"

"That's what being a buddy is all about," Tristan said./

"Thanks for everything, man, I owe 'ya," Joey called before he explained to rex"When both Lava Battleguard and Swamp Battleguard are on the field together. They both receive 500 attack points"

"What!"shouted Rex.

Swamp Battleguard attack power was raised to (2840/1950) and Lava Battleguard was now (2515/2340)

"It must be nice... to have someone watching your back," Terra muttered

(RR-840)

(JW: 1815)

"Laugh while you can." said Rex. /I still have one more monster you can't defeat, Celebrate while you can, because your party's about to be crashed!/

"Your horned freaks may have gotten control of the field," Rex said as he laid a monster in defense mode. "But now it's time to see if they can hold it."

"Battleguard, give that card a bashing!" Joey ordered. The red Lava Battleguard swung his club and smashed Rex's dino defense monster which was another Trakadon.

Tristan was amazed at the two ogre monsters. "Look at them; they sure make some sort of tag team." said Tristan.

"That's because they're on the field together," Tracy commented. "The Battleguards gain strength from each other."

"No kidding." Daphne agreed. "And since they already took out Rex's best monster, the rest will be cake.

"Hah!" Rex laughed. "Who said that Serpent Night Dragon Joey destroyed two turns ago was my best monster?" Rex drew a card and smirked. "My supreme monster is a card but of a different sort... the Red-Eyes Black Dragon!"

To their shock did the black dragon appear on his side of the field(2400/2000). "Rex has one too!" said Tristan.

"Where did dinobrain get that thing?" said Mai. Rex noticed she was near the ring. "After i'm done with this rookie, your next for taking my room"

"And if you think those primates will save each other from this dragon's rampage, think again." Rex threw down a magic card. "With my handy Dragon Nails card, my Red-Eyes gets enough power to clobber an army of Battleguards!"

Red Eyes received the magic powerup as its attack power rose to 3000.

"Red-Eyes, attack! Inferno Fire Blast!" The dragon let out a fireball that destroyed both Battleguards.

"How could he torch them both with just one shot?" Joey wondered.

"Those who defend together are destroyed together. Don't tell me you thought their little clubs would be able to save them from my dragon's wraith." said Rex.

(JW-1170)

(RR-840)

/Rex may have his Red Eyes on the field but soon I will have mine on the field/ said Joey drawing Dark Dragon Ritual. /Yes, just the card I need to turn this duel into a victory/ His current hand included Pot of Greed, Salamandra, Meteor Dragon and Time Wizard.

"Alrighty Rex, I play Pot of Greed which allows me to draw two cards from my Deck." said Joey. He draws Polymerization and Copycat(0/1000)

"Now I activate my ritual spell card Dark Dragon Ritual!" said Joey.

"Dark What?" asked Rex never on hearing that card before. "In order for me to summon my ritual monster, i need to offer one level four monster and i chose my Time Wizard." said Joey. Time wizard appeared on the field and was soon gone. /why would he get rid of his time wizard/ thought Mai before her eyes widen /Of course he's summoning his Red Eyes./ "Now come forth Paladin of Dark Dragon! A Black dragon with a rider in black armor appeared on the field.(1900/1200)

"Your paladin is too weak to go against my Red Eyes." said Rex with a laugh.

"Whoever said that my Paladin is staying. I activate his effect by sacrificing him in order to summon my Red Eyes Black Dragon." said Joey.

Paladin of Dark Dragon vanished and soon was replaced by Red Eyes Black Dragon(2400/2000). "How did a Rookie like you aquire a Red Eyes!" shouted Rex shocked that he owned one as well. "That is none of your business but my turns not yet done. I activate Polymerization to fuse him with my Meteor dragon to form the Mighty METEOR BLACK DRAGON!" said Joey activating his spell card. Meteor Dragon and Red Eyes merged together to create a large bulky dragon with lava like veins on its scales.(3500/2000)

"Next I'll equip him with my Salamandra power up card making him even more stronger than your Red Eyes" said Joey. Meteor B Dragons attack power was raised to (4200/2000). "No!, it can't be over!" shouted Rex when he realized he was about to lose the duel.

"But it is Rex, Meteor Black Dragon attack his Red Eyes with Meteor Strike!" shouted Joey. Meteor Black Dragon flew at Rex's Red Eyes with the descending power of a meteor and destroyed Rex's monster and winning the duel.

"Way to go bud!" cheered Tristan giving his friend the thumbs up. Joey descended the duel arena with a smile. He won without yugi's advice and was ready to duel on his own. Joey collected his two star chips and Rex's Serpent Night Dragon and Red Eyes Black Dragon from him since they wagered two of their cards. Rex took off defeated afterwards. He thought. /at least Weevil gave me his Serpent Night Dragon since he only uses Insect cards/

Joey although already had Three Red Eyes gave the card to Yugi for his deck. The group went to find a camping site for the night. They found a tree and settled down near it. The gang settled down under a tree and started to tell ghost stories.

(5 minutes later)

"And when they pulled over to see what was in the back seat," Tristan was saying, "It was... over twenty pepperoni pizzas with extra cheese and meatballs!"

"Tristan, that's the fourth time you brought up food in a ghost story!" Harry complained. Their stomachs were all growling for food. Luckily they manage to stop Joey from eating a wild mushroom. Mai was generous enough to share her food that she brought. She had a couple can fruits, Marshmallows and candy bars. Mai was being a mother hen and had them do chores. Yugi and Harry getting firewood, Neville and Blaise gathering rocks to make a fire pit and Joey and Tristan getting water.

Tea watched as the guys split up to do their various tasks exept for Kaiba. He worked on his Duel Disk. . Mai had a shower up and told the girls they can freshen up if they need too. The girls took turns getting cleaned up. After that did they all sat down and eat. ""Hey Mai, did I hear you right, did you say that by tomorrow, you'll gain enough star chips to enter the castle?" asked Yugi.

"Yes, don't expect me to go easy on you Yugi when we duel" said Mai. Tracy was sitting by her before mai went somewhere with her cousin following her. Thirty minutes have passed and Mai or tracy haven't come back to the campsite. "Mai and Tracy have sure been gone an awfully long time," Yugi said. They were finished with dinner.

"Mai can handle herself, the same with Tracy since she's with her cousin." said Harry. Suddenly the bushes behind Tea rustled and she screamed.

"Who's there?" Tristan called out. From the bushes stepped a boy with long white hair and brown eyes wearing a white sweater and blue jeans.

"Bakura!" said those familiar with the boy.

"See, I told you I saw him," Tea said.

"What are you doing sneaking around in the bushes like that, Bakura?" Joey asked. "For that matter, what are you doing here in the first place?"

"Trying to survive, same as you guys. Sorry if I gave you a scare." said Bakura.

"Well, for a moment there, I thought we had something to worry about." Tristan said. The others were introduced to Bakura. Bakura took the spot where Mai was sitting at. Joey was looking at the Flame Swordsman card. They all talked about their favorite cards and Bakura showed his which was the magic card Change of Heart. It had a picture of a girl but one half was cherubic with angel wings and the other had a dark bat-like wing. Even the tone was different, one being light, the other dark.

"Kind of a weird-looking picture, don't ya' think?" Joey asked.

"If you want to see how it works, we can have a duel right now," Bakura suggested. "Not for star chips, just for a little bit of fun."

"Sure, I'm down with that," Joey agreed. "After all this star chip stuff, it'll be nice to have a duel with no strings attached."

"I agree," Yugi threw in. "A regular old duel sounds like a good idea."

"Why don't you guys each put your favorite card into Yugi's deck. That way, it'll be like we're all playing." said Bakura. Kisara put Maiden of eyes of blue as did the others with their favorite monsters minus Susan and Neville. They would rather watch the duel.

"Sounds good to me." Tristan agreed.

"I should warn you," Yugi said playfully. "With this all-star deck, we'll be tough to beat."

"Are you sure you want to go through with this, Bakura?" Tea checked. "Dueling alone, I mean."

"I'm sure." he replied

"All right then, let's get this show on the road!" Joey called.

"Before we get started, there's something I'd like to share with you all," Bakura said. Tristan, Kaiba and Harry noticed that his tone had changed, it almost sounded... sinister.

"I don't like the looks of this," Joey said as Bakura closed his eyes. A strange necklace appeared. It had a pyramid shape at the center with an eye similar to Yugi's puzzle. But a gold ring encircled it with five spikes towards the bottom.

"A Millennium Item!" shouted the gang. "Correct," Bakura said, his voice now different. "And the magic of my Millennium Ring will take us to the Shadow Realm!" As Bakura spoke, the area around them was shrouded in darkness. What they didn't see was that a strange figure appeared and took something from Kaiba's suitcase. /Soon my revenge will come/ thought the being as it vanished. The being added two cards pegasus gave him to use in his duel with Yugi after this shadow game. They had the bait and now was waiting on them to come.

"Why are you doing this, Bakura?" asked Blaise.

"You have something I want and I aim to take it." The Millennium Ring flashed and everyone fell down.

"That wasn't too difficult," 'Bakura' commented as he went up to Yugi's fallen form. "Now, after countless centuries, the legendary Millennium Puzzle will be all mine!" As he bent down to remove it from around Yugi's neck, it started to glow and Yami Yugi opened his , it can't be!" "Bakura" gasped.

"You want my Millennium Puzzle, then you're going to have to duel me for it. But if I win, you promise to release my friends and send us all back." said Yami

"I agree to your ridiculous terms, Yugi," "Bakura" said. "But I warn you, there is more at stake here than you could possibly comprehend." Yugi and Bakura faced down each other, the bodies of the others were behind Yami.

"Bakura, what have you done?" Yugi asked. "Why have you taken us to the Shadow Realm?"

Bakura chuckled. "Bakura? Bakura is no longer here."

"If you're not Bakura, then who are you?" asked Yami Yugi

"You might say I'm a thief, a stealer of souls. And I've done terrible things in my quest to possess the Millennium Items. You do remember the legend, don't you? Who-so-ever possesses all seven Millennium Items will achieve great power. And before I'm done with you, your Millennium Puzzle will be mine." said Yami Bakura.

"That's not going to happen," Yugi said gripping the Millennium Puzzle possessively.

"Duel!" They both cried and the Shadow Game began.

(YY: 2000)

(YB: 2000)

Yami saw that he drawed Cyber Commander, Kuriboh, Komouri Dragon, Mammoth Graveyard and Trap Hole."

Yugi went first. "My first card is... the Cyber Commander in defense mode, Tristan's favorite." But as the monster appeared, Yami Yugi realized that the Cyber Commander wasn't just Tristan's card, it was Tristan himself. "Tristan?" asked Yami

"Whoa, what a weird dream," Tristan said looking at the shotgun he had in his hand. "Where am I? What's going...?" Tristan turned around and saw Yugi giant-sized. He responded naturally... by screaming. "Tristan, were in a Shadow Game and i need you to stay calm, "Bakura used his Millennium Ring to trap your soul in your favorite card," " said Yami."

"Right I'll try Yami Yugi" said Tristan in defense mode. (750/700)

Yami Bakura chuckled. "Who's your little friend, Yugi? He looks pretty tough, but can he stand up to... the White Magical Hat !" Bakura summoned a human-looking monster in a top head and blue suit with a white cape. (1000/700). The White Magical Hat charged forward and slugged Tristan. Tristan disappeared.

"No Tristan!" shouted Yami. Yami-Bakura chuckled again. "Looks like that card's been defeated. And your poor friend's soul was trapped in it."

"Where is he?" Yami asked acidly. "What have you done with Tristan?

"Your friend is gone, on his way to the discard pile, or the Graveyard as we call it in Duel Monsters." said Yami Bakura.

Yami gasped. He couldn't believe it. Was Tristan really dead, gone forever?

Tristan was wandering through a cemetery. The tomb stones were all rotted away. The wind moaned around him.

"This place is freaking me out," Tristan said to himself. "But how did I get here? One moment I was being attacked and the next thing I know, I'm wandering around this place. And it doesn't look like there's any way out."

Tristan noticed that one of the tombstones looked new. He walked up and brushed the dust off the name of the tombstone.

"TRISTAN TAYLOR"

Tristan gasped. "According to this tombstone, I'm dead! BUT THIS CAN'T BE!"

Yami Yugi was furious over Tristan's defeat.

"When you duel in the Shadow Realm, the stakes are always higher," Yami-Bakura informed him. "You made a sloppy move and now your friend is going to pay for it with his life! Now, which of your friends would you like to sacrifice next?"

Yami Yugi looked through his hand./ I'd avoid using the cards that have my friends' souls in them. But to save my friends, I have to win. And I have only one card that can beat his White Magical Hat./ Thought Yami "I summon the Flame Swordsman!"

Sure enough, the monster that rose from the card was Joey dressed as the Flame Swordsman. "Hey, what gives?" Joey asked. He turned to Yami. "Holy Crap! You're a giant Yugi!" he shouted. Joey, listen to me," Yugi said. "Your soul has been sealed in your favorite card. In short, you've become the Flame Swordsman."

"I'm the what?!" shouted Joey looking at himself. He was the Flames Swordsman.

Yami Yugi explained the outline of the Shadow Game to Joey. "In order to free you all and get us all out of the Shadow Realm, I'm going to need your help."

"You want my help, you got my help," Joey volunteered.

"Are you sure you're okay?" asked Yami

"Okay? I think I lost my mind but I'm going to go with it." said Joey

"That's Joey, Yami Yugi thought. Always eager to help out no matter the danger./

"Now, who wants a p...?" Joey looked across the dueling field and screamed again on seeing Yami-Bakura. "Giant Bakura?! Now I know I'm nuts! I'm six inches tall, wearing a dress, getting set to fight my giant friend!"

"That's not Bakura. An evil spirit from his Millennium Ring has taken him over." said Yami

"Well I have no idea what's going on but I might as well give it a try." Joey ran forward and sliced the White Magical Hat monster. "And that's the end of that magic act."

(YY: 2000)

(YB: 1200)

Joey turned back to Yami Yugi. "I did it, Yami, now what?"

"Now it's his turn."said Yami

Yami-Bakura scowled. "Your little swordsman got lucky, Yugi, but not this time." Yami-Bakura took a card from his hand and laid it face-down on the monster card zone.

"Why'd he played that face-down?" Yugi wondered. /It must be a trap/ He draws Dragon Knight.(2500/2100)

"I summon Dragon Knight in attack mode, Harry's favorite monster." said Yami. Harry appeared on the field wearing Dragon Knights armor and wielding his mace. "What the bloody hell!, why am i dressed like Dragon Knight?" asked Harry.

"Were in a shadow game!, we have to defeat the spirit of the Millenium Ring" said Joey.

"Count me in then" said Harry holding his mace He charges at the facedown card and destroyed it to reveal Morphing Jar. "Shit Morphing Jar" said Harry

"Morphing Jar?" asked Joey

"When a Morphing Jar is flipped over, all cards in both players' hands go directly to the graveyard. We're just lucky I didn't have any of the others soul cards in my hand." said Yami drawing a new hand. He now had Dark Magician,Horned Imp, Monster reborn, Gift of the Mystical Elf, and Toruke. "With a new hand comes new perspective," Yami-Bakura commented laying a card face-down in the monster card zone. "The game, ever shifting." He placed a card on the magic and trap card zone. "New dangers surround every turn."

"He's trying to freak me out, Yami realized. I can't figure out what he's up to. I'm just going to have to risk playing./ "Dark Magician, come forth!" he said

Yugi was dressed in the Dark Magician's purple robes and headdress.

"And I'll play a magic card that lets me revive monsters from the graveyard: Monster Reborn!" said Yami. Tristan reappeared on top of the Monster Reborn card. "Huh, what's going on? Joey? Yugi?, Harry? You guys dreaming this too?"

"This is no dream, Tristan," Joey said."We're all trapped in a shadow duel and Yami is trying his best to get us out." Yami said "I also set one card.

""Then we should try to win this thing before her card gets played. Okay, I'm gonna bash me some Bakura." Joey got ready to strike.

"Wait a minute, Joey, I was just played so I should go first," Dark Magician-Yugi said. "Dark Magic Attack!"

Another Morphing Jar was flipped over. Once again, Yami-Bakura and Dueling Yugi discarded their hands and drew new hands.

"I'm sorry," Dark Magician-Yugi apologized.

'Sokay, man, I did the same thing," Joey said. Yami drawed a new hand and he got Blue Eyes white dragon along with Curse of dragon, Magical Hats, Mirror force and Book of Secret arts. "No The Blue Eyes White Dragon." gasped Yami .

"Isn't that Kaiba''s favorite card?" Yami-Bakura asked even though he clearly knew the answer. "Do you suppose his soul is trapped inside there as well? Maybe you better play it and find out. But then again..." He laid another monster card face-down. "You don't know what I'm laying down here so you could be putting him in danger. A dilemma. And while you ponder that, I'll just turn this over." He flipped over the trap card he set last turn. "Just Dessert! I think you'll find it will help you come to grips with the situation." A ghostly hand came out of the trap card and squeezed Yami Yugi's head.

(YY:1700)"

(YB: 1200)

Yami-Bakura explained that Just Dessert takes away 500 life points for each monster on the opponent's side of the field. "And you'll feel like every single life point was ripped from your very heart, but how did you not lose since you have four monsters,!"

"Yami Yugi, are you alright?" Tristan asked.

Yes," Yami Yugi said gasping with pain. "But one more attack like that and I'm done for, i activated my Gift of the Mystical elf trap card to increase my Lifepoints before the attack." I can't deal with another attack like that. And he must have a third Morphing Jar ready. Kaiba''s soul card isn't safe in my hand. I'll have to play it./ "I summon Blue eyes in attack mode."

Blue eyes appeared on the field and it was a lot different. On the top of its head was brown hair. "Don't tell me Kaiba is Blue eyes" said Joey

"What did you say Wheeler!" said Kaiba snarling at him in his dragon form. "Kaiba were in a shadow game and your soul has been trapped inside your favorite monster. " said Yami

"I see, let's get this over with, I rather be in my human body giving my dragon the command" said Kaiba opening his jaw to fire White Lightning. "Kaiba wait!" said Yami. He destroyed the facedown monster and sparks came and was about to shock him when Yugi took the shocks. "No!" shouted Harry.

"Yug, what happened?" Joey asked.

"I don't know... but my body's... growing numb..." Dark Magician-Yugi staggered.

"What did you do Bakura!" shouted Yami.

Yami-Bakura chuckled. "You can't attack the Electric Lizard without experiencing some rather shocking feedback. Looks like your Little Yugi paid the price for his foolish heroics."

Yami Yugi drew a trap card. "All right, soul stealer, I'll play my next card face-down." He set down one card in his trap zone. Bakura draws and sets another monster in the field. Yami draws Magician of Faith and He sets it in defense mode. Tea's head poked out from underneath the card. "Hey, guys!" She called to the others who quickly tried to conceal her from Yami-Bakura's view. "Uh... guys, isn't it a little early for Halloween?" Tea then looked down at herself and saw that she was dressed in purple robes and carrying a staff with a moon-shape crescent on top. "What the... what's this?"

"Were in a shadow game and Yami yugi is dueling to save our Souls" said Harry. Yami-Bakura looked down to the Duel Monsters. Joey and Tristan tried their best to cover up Tea.

"Don't bother, you fools; I can see her perfectly," Yami-Bakura said. "Now I have all of you right where I want you. Helpless on the field, making you the perfect prey for my Man-Eater Bug!" His set monster peeking from the cards. (450/600)

"Yugi, what does that card do?" Joey asked.

"It can... destroy one monster on the field... when it's flipped over," Dark Magician-Yugi managed to say, still suffering from the Electric Lizard's special ability.

"Well that's no good." Tea concluded.

"I really don't want to go back to the Graveyard," Tristan complained.

"Nobody's going to the graveyard, because we're going to destroy that monster before it's even played." Joey declared.

"That won't work." Kaiba-Blue Eyes said. "The moment we make an attack, that card will activate."

"What are you saying, that one of us is going to become bug food?" asked Harry.

"I'm saying there's only one way out of this, and we're standing on it." said Yugi.

They all looked at the face-down card.

"But I bet Yami is afraid to use it." said Yugi.

"Why?"asked Tristan

"It requires that we sacrifice a creature!" said Yugi.

"You mean... one of us?" Tea asked.

"I'll do it," Tristan volunteered. Through Tea's protest, he explained, "Think about it, one of us is gone no matter what we do, at least this way, I'm taking..." Joey slugged Tristan in the gut with the handle of his sword. "I guess you disagree." he said.

"You just got back from the Graveyard and a monster can only be revived from the Graveyard once. If anyone's going down, it's me!" Ignoring all protests, Joey charged forward. As he stood right on top of the Man-Eater Bug card, it appeared and started thrashing Joey. "Yami Yugi, use the trap, hurry!" Yami Yugi was hesitant. "Please, I don't want my friends to get hurt! Please, sacrifice me!"

Yami Yugi nodded. "I'm activating my trap, sacrificing my Flame Swordsman to do so." He flipped it over. "The Horn of Heaven: blasting its celestial tune directly at your Man-Eater Bug, obliterating him from the field once and for all!" Everyone watched in horror as both Joey and the Man-Eater Bug disappeared.

"Just like that... my best buddy's gone!" Tristan sobbed.

"Don't worry, you all will be joining him in the Graveyard very soon," Yami-Bakura promised.

Joey looked around the Graveyard. "Man, what a creepy place," he said. "Well, they got Tristan out so maybe..." Joey turned and saw a strange creature coming after him. "Oh no, it's the Reaper of Cards and he's come from me!"

"I hope you don't harbor any illusions about retrieving your friend from the Graveyard. You already used Monster Reborn once and you're only allowed to have one of that card in a deck. And soon, the Reaper of Cards will claim him forever!" Yami-Bakura's words penetrated both Yugi's, Harry, Kaiba, Tea, and Tristan.

"Joey... no... he can't be..." Tea's voice was barely a whisper. "He sacrificed himself and now... now he's..." A single tear landed on the ground.

Suddenly Tea started to glow. Tristan was flabbergasted but the Yugi's realized what was going on.

"Of course, she's the Magician of Faith!" Dark Magician-Yugi realized. "Tea's tear activated the magic effect of her favorite card."

"That's right," Yami Yugi confirmed. "And the effect of the Magician of Faith allows me to retrieve one magic card from the discard pile and add it to my hand!" Energy flowed from Tea's body to Yami Yugi's hand. "And the card I choose is... Monster Reborn! Which I play now!"

The Reaper of Cards was ready to slice Joey's head from his body when Joey disappeared…And reappeared on the dueling field.

"I knew you... uh... he... uh... I knew you guys would get me out of there," Joey said to Dark Magician-Yugi.

"You waste your time and your turns rescuing these pathetic mortals," Yami-Bakura told Yami Yugi.

"My friends are never a waste of time,"Yami Yugi said. "Make your move!"

"Oh, I'll move... and you will lose! This is the play that will end the match and win me your Millennium Puzzle." Yami Bakura said/ He laid a monster card on the field. "First, I summon Lady of Faith in attack mode!" He said. A blue-haired woman in colorful robes appeared.(1100/800)

"And next, the card that will turn your friends against one another: The Change of Heart!" said Yami Bakura revealing his card.

"Isn't that Bakura's favorite card?" Dark Magician-Yugi questioned.

"And a very magical card indeed. With this card, I can turn you against your comrades. The very friends you sought to protect you will now destroy." said Yami Bakura

"I refuse!"said Yami Yugi

"You won't have a choice! The Change of Heart allows me to take control of any one of my opponent's monsters for one turn and I choose you, Little Yugi." said Yami Bakura. "Leave him out of this," Yami Yugi demanded.

"Why should I? By simply destroying him, I destroy you as well. Your here to guide and protect him, then protect him from THIS!" Yami-Bakura activated the Change of Heart.

Dark Magician-Yugi braced for the worst. He could hear his friends call out for him.

To the surprise of Yugi and his friends, the person that appeared was Bakura, dressed just as the girl on the Change of Heart card. It was Bakura, the real Bakura!

"So you were sealed in your favorite card as well," Dark Magician-Yugi realized.

"I want to help but we don't have much time," he said. Change of Heart-Bakura phased through the Lady of Faith, his face replacing that of the Lady of Faith's. "I've taken over one of his cards instead of yours." Both Dark Magician-Yugi and Yami-Bakura gasped at the act. "I'll control her while you attack me, you can win against the evil me!"

"I can't! I'd be destroying you!" said Yugi.

"I don't care! It's better than being a slave to an evil spirit! DO IT!" said Bakura

"Be quiet." Yami-Bakura snapped.

"I have a better idea." Yami Yugi said. His Millennium Puzzle started to glow and thrash wildly. An Egyptian-looking eye appeared on his forehead. "If the Millennium Ring can pull souls from people, maybe my Millennium Puzzle can put them back." When the Duel Monsters looked next, they saw that regular Bakura was back in his body and Yami-Bakura was dressed as the Lady of Faith. "Listen closely, Yugi, use the power of the Dark Magician! Send him to the Graveyard now!"

"You got it. Dark Magic Attack!" Yami-Bakura was pulled into a vortex and transported to the in front of the Reaper of Cards

.The Shadow Game had ended, Yugi had won. And as such, everyone was returned to their original body. They told the others what happened. "Dam, lucky i wasn't played." said Blasie.

"Are you alright, Bakura?" Yugi asked.

"I am now, thanks to you." Bakura replied.

"I wonder... where did you get your Millennium Ring?" asked Harry

Bakura explained that while his father was traveling in Egypt when he first saw the Millennium Ring. The man who gave it to him said that it was connected with Duel Monsters which didn't make any sense since the card game was relatively new and the ring was clearly ancient. He took it home and gave it to Bakura, saying that Bakura was destined for it. That's when they all heard a loud scream. "What was that?" Joey asked.

"I don't know, let's go check it out." said Yugi. And they all took off towards the source of the screaming.

End of chapter.

Next chapter will have Harry and Yugi face off against Panik and Dark Kaiba. so the gang finally got to meet Yami Yugi. Let me know how the chapter is by reviewing. No flamers!.
