Five hours had passed since the tournament began, and well- 

???: HELP! LET GO OF ME! SOMEBODY HELP ME! 
A duelist was grabbed by Kemo! 

Ruby: Hey, it's Pegasus' bodyguard guy! 

Yang: The antennae hair guy? 

Ruby: Yeah, that guy! 

Kemo: Tough luck! I can see your glove's empty! Now that you've lost all of your Star Chips, you're getting off of this island! 

Duelist: But some weird kid stole them from me! He took my Star Chips and my cards too! 

Kemo: I don't care how you lost them! If you run out of Star Chips, you have to leave the Duelist Kingdom! Those are the rules! 

(Y/N): HEY! LET HIM GO! It's not the same as losing! 

Kemo: Others are forbidden to interfere unless you want your friends to be disqualified t- 

You punched him in the face, knocking him out! 

Joey: (Y/N) just knocked out a guy bigger than him. 

Ruby: Yep! Happens a lot! 

(Y/N): Hey, how did he look like? I'll find him for you! 

Duelist: I couldn't see his face, but he had a bandana on it. He challenged me to a duel out of nowhere, and the moment I put down my cards and Star Chips, he took off with them! 

(Y/N): Right! 

Later... 

Kemo woke up. 

Kemo: ARGH! What just- GRRR! I bet it was that kid! 

He got out a walkie talkie. 

Kemo: Mr. Pegasus? Mr. Pegasus?! 

At Pegasus' Castle... 

Pegasus was sitting at a table drinking some wine, eating some gorgonzola cheese, and reading comics on some character called Funny Bunny. 

Pegasus: HAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh my dear, Funny Bunny! How droll and witty can you be? My, this fine wine, this well-aged gorgonzola cheese, and the world's best comic made in America, Funny Bunny! How blessed am I? Say, Croquet, how are the duels coming? 

Croquet (Pegasus' Right Hand Man and Butler!) 

Croquet: Mr. Peagsus, it has been six hours since the dueling began. Out of 40 participants, 12 have dropped out of the race! The first ship of evacuees will be departing shortly. 

Pegasus: Of course, Yugi is still in the running, right? 

Croquet: Yes Sir! He has collected five Star Chips! 

Pegasus: OOH! Wonderful! That's my Yugi-Boy! He must make it to the finals! So he can come to my Castle! And also, you havne't found that boy? 

Croquet: No Sir, not yet. 

Pegasus: And after I invited him to my castle as my private guest. To think he ran away, he must really have disliked our reception. 

Croquet: I'm sorry Mr. Pegasus, we took our eyes off him for only a moment. 

Pegasus: No need to worry! I have a good idea of what's on his mind. Keep your eyes on Yugi! That's where you'll find him! And the next time you capture him, lock him up in the dungeon! 

Croquet: Yes Sir! 

Pegasus continued to read his comic as Croquet left. 

Back with you guys... 

You all continued looking as you saw the boat of Duelists leaving. 

Blake: Those must all the ones who have lost their Star Chips. 

Ruby: Is that Weevil over there? 

(Y/N): Huh? 

You saw Weevil. 

Weevil: MAKE SPACE LOSERS! I'M THE CHAMPION OF JAPAN! 

They all looked at him, and- 

Duelists: SHUT UP WEEVIL! 

They pushed him into the water! 

Weevil: AGH! 

Yang: HA! THAT'S KARMA, ASSHOLE! 

Weiss: Hey, (Y/N), that's the kdi who got his Star Chips taken! 

(Y/N): WHAT?! ARGH! THAT ASSHOLE SUIT GUY! HE DID THIS BEHIND MY BACK! 

Yami Yugi: A shame too. I bet that- 

???: YUGI! 

A kid in a bandana came out. 

Yami Yugi: You want to duel with me? 

???: Yeah, let's go over there! 

The two went to a Battle Box to duel! 

Yami Yugi: How many do you bet? 

???: Five. 

Yami Yugi: Very well. 

Suddenly the kid brought out five more. 

Joey: So, that kid's the thief? 

Yang: Looks like it. 

The two proceeded with their duel 

Yami Yugi: Why don't you give up? This game isn't so easy that you could win with stolen cards! 

???: AGH! 

He tried to grab the Star Chips, but Yami Yugi stopped him! 

Yami Yugi: I KNEW IT! 

He unmasked him as- 

(Y/N): YOU! 

Ruby: IT'S MOKUBA! 

Indeed, Mokuba, Kaiba's little brother was the thief! 

Joey: I don't believe it! That little runt? 

Tea: Why is he here? 

Yugi dragged him out. 

Joey: Alright squirt, give back Yugi's Star Chips! 

Mokuba: NO PISS OFF WHEELER! 

Joey: WHAT?! WHY YOU LITTLE! 

He began to strangle Mokuba as you kicked him! 

(Y/N): IDIOT! STOP! Mokuba, are you okay? 

Mokuba: DOES THIS LOOK LIKE THE FACE OF SOMEONE WHO'S OKAY?! 

(Y/N): N-No. 

Mokuba: Exactly. 

Ruby: Is this about your brother? 

Mokuba: Y-Yeah. Seto isn't moving. He's under a 24-hour care in the mansion while in his coma. The world's greatest doctors told me that he might spend the rest of his life like that. 

Yang: Dude! Let it go! He was a- 

Mokuba: It's not about you guys. 

Blake: Really? 

Mokuba: Seto did really bad things, and I understand he had to be punished. But ... do you guys even know why Pegasus had this tournament? 

Weiss: Why? 

Mokuba: His goal is to gain control of Kaiba Corp. 

Yami Yugi: WHAT?! 

(Y/N): He already owns his own company, and he created the most popular trading card game in the world! Why would he want Kaiba Corp? 

Mokuba: Pegasus created Duel Monsters and established himself as a young genius game designer, but he still wasn't big enough. So Industrial Illusions teamed up with Kaiba Corp to develop the Battle Box! And then on the day that Seto was defeated by Yugi at Death-T, the stock plummeted. The management got worse and worse. 

(Y/N): Oooh ... I see. Still not apologizing for what happened to your brother though. 

Mokuba: I know. But anyway, Pegasus took this as an opportunity and jumped in to buy the company! He made an offer with the Big Five, Kaiba Corps's five leading stockholders. Since Seto can't respond, the Big Five have all the power and own Kaiba Corp now. 

Weiss: Were they followers of your adopted father? 

Mokuba: Yes. They liked his offer, but- 

Flashback... 

Big Five (The most powerful shareholders of Kaiba Corp! Gansley, Crump, Johnson, Nesbitt, and Lektor!) 

Gansley: Pegasus, if you can defeat Yugi Muto in an official game of Duel Monsters, we will dismiss the half-dead Seto Kaiba and appoint you as Chief Executive of Kaiba Corp! 

Pegasus: That's it? I have to defeat this boy? Very well! 

End of Flashback... 

Yami Yugi: I see. So Pegasus is really looking forward to this duel, huh? 

Mokuba: Yugi! You can't beat Pegasus! No one can! Even Seto couldn't beat him before! 

Blake: Is that why you were stealing Star Chips?

Mokuba: Yeah, if I could steal all of Yugi's Star Chips, he'd be disqualified before he fought Pegasus, he wouldn't have lost a real match, so the agreement between Pegasus and the Big Five wouldn't count! 

Yang: And why are you on the island? 

Mokuba: Two nights ago, the Big Five barged into my house! They were going to steal some documents from Seto's safe! It was something they needed to complete the deal with Pegasus! So I swallowed the key to the safe right in front of them! 

Tea: That's going to be very uncomfortable for you. 

Mokuba: Every time I went to the bathroom, those guys would come running to check it out! HAHAHAHAHAHA! 

Yang: Kid, you are weird. 

(Y/N): I amdire your guts, Mokuba! 

Mokuba: Over my dead body, I'll let them take everything Seto worked so hard to get! I know he wanted to get revenge on Yugi, but his real dream was to build Kaibaland all over the world! So that way kids can have fun! That's why I'll give my life to keep it safe! So he can finish his dreams when he comes back! 

Yami Yugi: Mokuba, just trust in us. 

(Y/N): We have a score to settle with Pegasus ourselves. Leave Pegasus to us, okay? 

Mokuba: Okay. I trust you guys. 

He gives the Star Chips back, but- 

Kemo: STOP RIGHT THERE! 

(Y/N): YOU AGAIN! 

Kemo: Exchanging Star Chips outside a duel is a violation of the rules! One more move and you're disqualified! 

Mokuba: But- 

Kemo: THERE YOU ARE MOKUBA! 

He grabbed Mokuba! 

Mokuba: HEY! LET ME GO YOU ASSHOLE! 

Ruby: HEY! YOU CAN'T DO THAT! TWO OF THOSE ARE YUGI'S! 

Kemo: How many times do I have to repeat myself? You have to get them through duels! 

Yami Yugi: Then I challenge you to a duel! 

Kemo: Heh, sorry, but I'm no duelist. But, I do have a special opponent for you. One of Industrial Illusion's' four top duelists! OVER THERE! 

He pointed to a box nearby. 

(Y/N): HUH!? 

You saw- 

(Y/N): KAIBA?! 

Mokuba: BIG BROTHER!? 

But then you looked again closely and- 

???: Come on in. 

Some strange ventriloquist was there with a Kaiba puppet! 

Kaiba Puppet: Yugi, you'll pay for what you did to me! Revenge! Revenge! Revenge! 

Yami Yugi: YOU! YOU! HOW DARE YOU MOCK KAIBA LIKE THAT! 

Yang: I don't know if defending an asshole is a good idea, but he is in a coma, so- TAKE HIM DOWN YUGI! 

Mokuba: YEAH! YOU TELL HIM YANG! GET HIM YUGI! 

Yugi entered the duel box to face the ventriloquist. 

Kaiba Puppet: I'll kill you! 

Bakura: Bloody hell, that's one messed up puppet! 

Weiss: Definitely messed up! 

Both opponents bet on three Star Chips each! 

Kaiba Puppet: I play Minotaur! 

Yami Yugi: WHAT!? 

(Y/N): That's one of Kaiba's monsters! 

Yami Yugi: Fine! I summon Dark Magician! 

Dark Magician took out Minotaur! 

Kaiba Puppet: AGH! YOU GOT ME! 

(Y/N): I can't stand this asshole! 

Ruby: The puppet or the ventriloquist? 

(Y/N): BOTH! MOCKING A MAN IN A COMA IS UNCOUTH AND A DICK MOVE! Even if that said man is Kaiba! 

Kaiba Puppet: Now for my next card, I play Blue Eyes White Dragon! 

Everyone: WHAT?! 

Blue Eyes White Dragon was called out. 

Mokuba: How did- 

Kemo smirked. 

Kemo: That's right, I stole Kaiba's deck! 

Yami Yugi: This can't be! 

Kaiba Puppet: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! 

Mokuba: Yugi! Industrial Illusions sent a spy to steal Seto's cards! He's going to use them to defeat you! 

Kemo: Heh, this is just the beginning! Even if you defeat Ventriloquist of the Dead, the other 3 Duelists are still here to take you all out! 

Ventriloquist of the Dead: You can't win, Yugi! Your own guilt and Kaiba's grudge will smother you! 

Kaiba Puppet: It's really me, Yugi! I am borrowing the body of this doll to get my revenge! So be prepared! 

Yami Yugi: What is he saying? Is part of Kaiba's soul in this doll? Is this his thirst for revenge? 

(Y/N): Yugi! Don't let him get to you! The damn old geezer is using Kaiba's voice to fuck with you! 

Kaiba Puppet: Lt's continue! I won't attack yet with Blue Eyes, instead I'll play this card face down. 

Yami Yugi: A facedown? Is it a magic card or a trap card? Hmm ... Dark Magician isnt' powerful enough right now. I switch Dark Magician into Defense Mode! 

He also played Curse of Dragon in Defense Mode. 

Kaiba Puppet: HA! I'd knew you'd do that! But it won't save you! The Trap Card, Stop Defense activates! 

(Y/N): NO! 

Ruby: That card forces all monsters in Defense Mode back into Attack Mode! 

Kaiba Puppet: HAHAHA! There's nowhere for you to hide! GO BLUE EYES WHITE DRAGON! 

Curse of Dragon was eliminated, and Yugi's Life Poitns hit 1000! 

Blake: NO! 

Weiss: WHY THAT DIRTY LITTLE- 

Kaiba Puppet: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! 

Yami Yugi: How can I win? 

Kemo: HAHAHAHA! I bet Kaiba's happy watching from heaven! 

Mokuba: NO! He's not dead! Yugi! You told me that Seto would come back! I believe in you! 

Yami Yugi: Mokuba ... he's right. I have to keep going. I won't lose faith! I activate the Magic Card, Magical Hats! 

Four top hats appeared and Dark Magician was covered by one of them! 

Ventriloquist of the Dead: WHAT?! Where could the magician be hiding? I'LL JUST TAKE THEM OUT ONE AT A TIME! 

He attacked the third from the left, but it wasn't here! 

Kaiba Puppet: NO! 

Yami Yugi: My turn! 

He played another face down. 

Yami Yugi: You should know if you destroy the wrong hat, you'll activate the trap card I played. 

Kaiba Puppet: THE MIDDLE ONE! 

He attacked the middle one, and what came was the- 

Ventriloquist of the Dead: NO! THE TRAP CARD! 

Yami Yugi: Heh! Good choice, for me that is. 

It was Spellbinding Circle! 

Blue Eyes White Dragon was trapped in a hexagram, and the attack points were lowered to 2300! 

Yami Yugi: NOW GO DARK MAGICIAN! 

Dark Magician appeared from one of the hats and destroyed Blue Eyes White Dragon! 

Ventriloquist of the Dead: NO! HE SLEW THE DRAGON! 

Mokuba: YES! 

But then Dark Magician was destroyed! 

Everyone: WHAT?! 

Kaiba Puppet: HA! What's wrong Yugi? Have you forgotten that I have three Blue Eyes White Dragons?! 

A second one was played. 

Yami Yugi quickly looked through his deck, but he didn't have one that could help. 

Yami Yugi: No cards! I have no cards that can help me beat another one. I ... lose. 

Kaiba Puppet: YES! I WIN! GO BLUE EYES! DESTROY YUGI! 

But the monster stopped. 

Ventriloquist of the Dead: WHAT?! NO! WHY ISN'T IT- 

Blue Eyes disappeared and the puppet fell down. 

At the same time... 

Kaiba woke up from his coma. 

Kaiba: Yugi. 

Back at Duelist Kingdom... 

Ventriloquist of the Dead: NO! IMPOSSIBLE! 

(Y/N): The Blue Eyes disappeared ... it shrugged off the attack! 

Tristan: Heh, now Yugi has the chance to win! 

Tea: But how did- 

(Y/N): Because the cards have their own mindset after all. That one is loyal to Kaiba. 

You smiled remembering Yugi and Kaiba's first duel, and how Solomon's Blue Eyes didn't attack Yugi. 

Kemo: COME ON! There must have been some bug in the virtual reality system! 

Mokuba: No way Dumbass! Kaiba Corps' battle box wouldn't go on the fritz like that so easily! My brother's cards ain't going to listen to some phony! 

The two continued their duel. 

Ventriloquist of the Dead: That was just a miracle! If I draw the last Blue Eyes White Dragon, I will win! I summon Grapplar in Defense Mode! 

Yami Yugi: Very well, I summon Celtic Guardian in Attack Mode!

He took down Grapplar! 

Ventriloquist of the Dead: Very well! I set another monster in defense position, and set another card face down! 

Yami Yugi: Right, I summon Mystic Elf in Defense Position and set another card face down. 

Ventriloquist of the Dead: Right. I draw- 

He drew out the last Blue Eyes. 

Ventriloquist of the Dead: YES! THE THIRD BLUE EYES WHITE DRAGON! 

Everyone: NO! 

As the third Blue Eyes went to attack Mystic Elf- 

https://youtu.be/9rUFsQp9R_Y

Yami Yugi: Too bad for you. My Trap Card, Mirror Force activates! 

Ventriloquist of the Dead: NO! 

The attack refects right back, only for- 

Ventriloquist of the Dead: FOOLED YOU! Magic Card, Attack Nullification comes into play, leaving Blue Eyes unharmed! 

Yami Yugi: DAMN! 

Ventriloquist of the Dead: HAHAHAHA! Your trump card was wasted in vain! I've already made you use up your best strategies! 

Yami Yugi: Sorry, but I still have my Trump Card. 

Ventriloquist of the Dead: WHAT?! 

Yami Yugi: I play Monster Reborn! 

Ventriloquist of the Dead: NO! NOW YOU CAN RESURRECT MY MONSTER! 

Yami Yugi: No, not yours, Kaiba's! 

He brought back the Blue Eyes White Dragon! 

Ventriloquist of the Dead: DAMN YOU YUGI! But his plan isn't good, both Blue Eyes have the same attack, so they would kill each other! 

Yami Yugi: No, do you see that Mystic Elf has been chanting a spell? 

Indeed, she was chanting a spell! 

Yami Yugi: That chant is for a support spell that combines that attack of the monsters on the field with her own! NOW PREPARE YOURSELF! 

Yugi's Blue Eyes was now at 3800 Attack Points! 

And with one attack- 

Ventriloquist of the Dead: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! 

His life points were over! 

Ventriloquist of the Dead: NO! I CAN'T LOSE! 

Yami Yugi: YOU BASTARD! I WILL MAKE YOU PAY! FIRST YOU TAKE KAIBA'S CARDS, AND YOU FOOLED AROUND WITH A WORTHLESS PUPPET OF HIS HEART! 

Ventriloquist of the Dead: NO! PLEASE! HAVE MERCY! 

Yami Yugi: MIND CRUSH! 

With that, Yugi destroyed his mind, and left him brain dead! 

Yugi then collected his Star Chips, leaving him with 6! 

(Y/N): Nice! 

Ruby: What a dummy! 

Yang: HA! Good one Sis! 

Blake: Say, uh ... guys. 

Yami Yugi: Yes, Blake?

Blake: I don't see Mokuba, or that guy. 

(Y/N): WHY THAT SNEAKY BASTARD! 

Back with Kaiba... 

Kaiba put on a new outfit. 

Kaiba: SO YOU'RE TELLING ME YOU IDIOTS LET MOKUBA GET TAKEN?! 

Kaiba Corp Employee: We're sorry Mr. Kaiba, we- 

Kaiba: I'm going to get my brother back, make sure nothing else happens while I'm gone, or else I suggest going to get another job! 

Kaiba Corp Employees: YES SIR! 

Kaiba: Hang on Mokuba. 

Kaiba got into a Blue Eyes White Dragon Jet and raced off to Duelist Kingdom!
