Hey guys I'm reposting the first two acts of ToT. I'm working on Act 3 as we speak. I'll be posting that by week's end.
TOURNAMENT OF TOURNMENTS! Act One: Call To Arms! The Announcement of Battle City!
The young C.E.O. of Kaiba Corp sits at his computer as he has done for the pass three weeks. The prepreations are almost done and the tournament can begin on time. His tournament, the Battle City Tournament, has been a long time coming. It was suppose to be his grand return to the Duel Monsters lime light. This tournament was suppose to show the world who was the number one duelist in the world. Things have changed since then. Ishizu, the sister of a madman came to him and with the help of her Millennium Torque she wears, showed the young man that there are more important things in this life than Duel Monsters. Seto Kaiba stops typing on his keyboard and rubs his eyes as the door to the dark room slides open with a low hiss. A little boy then walks inside. The boy has wildly black hair and is dressed in a Kaiba Corp jumpsuit. This is Seto Kaiba's younger brother, Mokuba. With a single word command, Mokuba has the lights of the room switch on.
"Seto? Are you still working?" Mokuba asks. "It's Three in the morning. You need some sleep."
Seto turns his head slightly as brushes his brown bangs away from his eyes. He then rises out of his chair and begin to streech. He then walk toward as world, his little brother and rest his hand upon his head.
"Yeah little brother. I'm still working." Seto begins. "There's still much to do before I can announce the start of Battle City."
"Yeah, I guess. I still think it's strange that you changed Battle City from a Duel Monsters tournament to a martial arts tournament. I mean, it threw alot of people for a loop." Mokuba says.
"Think about how people're are gonna feel when I announce it in the morning." Seto says.
"Well you won't be doing anything if you don't get any sleep." Mokuba says.
"I guess you're Mokuba. Is my Duel Disk ready?" Seto asks.
"It will be. Now get some sleep." Mokuba says.
Seto nods as he hugs Mokuba. He then walks out of the room. Mokuba then sits in the chair that his brother sat in for hours and begins to backup all of his big brother's work. After the backup is complete, Mokuba then brings up a map of 'Battle City'. He looks over the weapon systems that will protect the city and then thinks to himself ...
"What do we need all of this hardware for Seto? Who do you think is gunna crash this party?"
The next morning, Seto Kaiba's face is on every television screen on Earth. The blue- eyed young man wearing a white coat having his brown hair barely covering his eyes cracks a smile as he begins to speak.
" Greetings fighters of the world. I am Seto Kaiba, President of Kaiba Corporation..."
" For the past year my company has been building an exact copy of the city of Domino. The reason for this is to host the largest martial arts tournament the world has ever seen. THE BATTLE CITY TOURNAMENT! " Kaiba says.
" Kaiba Corp's bankroll is enough to make Battle City so large that it'll make any World Fighting Tournament in the past, present or even the future look like some kind of meaningless joke! A waste of time! " Kaiba continues.
" Money as a prize would be to mundane, but why not. The winner of Battle City will receive twenty-two million dollars and the title of The Number One Fighter In The World!! What more could anyone ask?" Kaiba says.
" Battle City begins in seven days and is open to any and all fighters. If you have the courage, BE THERE!! " Kaiba says as the view-screen switches to a map showing the location of Battle City.
As the call to arms sound across the world for Battle City, in the Kaiba Corp. Building in Battle City, Seto Kaiba steps away from the television camera. He then turns to one of his female aids.
" Well? " Kaiba asks.
" As you ordered Mr. Kaiba, " Begins the long legged redhead aid. " Anything and everything that could pick up your broadcast ... did pick it up. "
With a smile, Kaiba then turns to a very busty blonde female and asks, " Is it ready? "
" Yes Mr. Kaiba. Your Duel Disk is in the sub-basement testing area ready for your final live test sir. " The aid says.
"Fine. I'll be in the testing area then," Kaiba says as he leaves.
"Yes Mr. Kaiba," both aids say as they watch Kaiba leave the room.
He reaches an elevator. With a voice command, the elevator doors opens and as he steps inside, he sounds another voice command and the elevator begins its trip to the sub-basement. The trip is short, and as the elevator reaches the sub-basement and opens its doors, Kaiba sets eyes upon his little brother Mokuba, working on a command keyboard. Kaiba steps out and searches the room filled with data gathering equipment for his weapon of choice, his creation- the Duel Disk System. Mokuba then stops his task at hand and turns to his brother.
"Hey Seto. The Duel Disk is ready for the last live test," Mokuba says.
Kaiba then looks at the silver and black rather large device with five card ports. He then straps the device on his left arm and tests the weight.
"I still don't see why you won't just let droid make the final test Seto." Mokuba says.
"Because little brother," Kaiba begins, "I'll be in Battle City and not some droid. Now set up the test."
"Gotcha Seto," Mokuba says.
Kaiba then steps across the room and through another door leading to a testing area. Kaiba's voice is then heard over Mokuba's headset.
"Mokuba, the Duel Disk feels heavier than the prototype."
"It has a stronger force field projector now," Mokuba says.
"O-k. Set it up." Kaiba says as he looks around the bare walls of the testing area. "One auto-op. Max level. Fail-safe off." Kaiba continues as he draws his forty-card Duel Monsters deck from his inside coat pocket and places it into his Duel Disk system.
A small hatch in the floor before Kaiba opens and an android rises slowly. Kaiba smiles and snaps into a combat stance drawing five cards from the Duel Disk.
"Ready when you are Mokuba," Kaiba says.
"Then ready. GO!!" Mokuba calls.
The humanoid android begins the test battle by firing a volley of energy beams at Kaiba. Kaiba sidesteps the energy blasts as he slaps a monster card in one of the five card ports of the Duel Disk. Suddenly, the hologram of the axe-wielding minotaur, the Battle Ox, appears in front of Kaiba, defending him.
"Now, it's time to test the hard light holograms. Battle Ox, ATTACK!"
The Battle Ox begins its attack with a flurry of axe swings. The android parries and dodges the Battle Ox's attack. Watching this, Kaiba draws another card and places it in the second card port. A hologram of a dark colored dragon with bat-like wings appears.
"Now begin your attack Koumori Dragon!" Kaiba calls.
The Koumori Dragon then takes aim and opens its mouth.
"Battle Ox! Move!" commands Kaiba.
The Battle Ox stops its attack and sidesteps as the Koumori Dragon fires a beam of dark energy. The android then back fists the beam into the western wall. The energy beam leaves a large hole in the western wall.
"Looks like the laser system works," Kaiba says.
"And that's just a low-grade blast," Mokuba says. "Wait 'til you see the blast from the Blue Eyes White Dragon."
Kaiba then looks at the smoking hole made by the Koumori Dragon as he commands his Battle Ox to restart its attack.
"So that's just a low-grade blast, huh?" Kaiba wonders. "Well, let's see what the highest grade can do."
As Kaiba's final test in Battle City continues, in the city of Domino, Yugi Mutou, the winner of last year's Duelist Kingdom Tournament, along with his friends Joey Wheeler, Tristan Taylor and Anzu Mazaki sit around in the front area of Yugi's grandfather's game store talking about Battle City.
"So what do you think about that 'Battle City' tournament thing?" Tristan asks.
"Ah'm thinkin' 'bout joining the tournament and gettin' the money," Joey says.
"Are you nuts?!?" both Tristan and Anzu ask.
"What?" Joey asks sheepishly.
"Bud, there's gonna be fighters from all over the world there in Battle City," Tristan says. "All types of styles and maybe even superhuman fighters."
"You'll get yourself killed!" Anzu says. "Your sister got money for her eye operation from you and Yugi from the Duelist Kingdom prize," Anzu says.
"I know Anzu, but..." Joey starts.
"Oh, shut up, you lug," Anzu says.
"Yeah, Joey. Getting a beatdown isn't gonna do your sister Serenity any good," Tristan says.
"Just be there so you're the first thing she sees when the operation is over. That's the best thing you can do." Yugi says.
"Guess you're right Yugi," Joey says as he gets up and walks to the door. "Well guys, I'm gunna go give Serenity a visit. Ah'll see ya."
"Later Joey," His three friends say watching him leave.
Joey steps out of the game store with his head down. He hears bystanders talk about Battle City and wonders...
"No matter what anyone says, I blew it. If not for Yugi, Serenity would go blind. I was never good at Duel Monsters, but street fighting..."
Joey then stops and remembers his old street gang days. Joey was never the best kid out there. He had his more than his fair share of run-ins with the ‘bad crowd' seeing how he was in the ‘bad crowd' as a member of the ‘Wild Gang’ a gang known for starting turf wars with other gangs. Some gangs were in his age range and others were … well lets just say they more than the Wild Gang to handle at times. Joey was the number two-man in the gang and was a true troublemaker that was until his little sister made him drop that life. As he turns his head, Joey notices that the building he stopped in front of was a Battle City registration office.
"Street fighting is the only thing I can do well. I hope the guys will understand."
He then walks inside. Meanwhile, back at the Kame Game Store, Yugi, Tristan and Anzu continue to talk about the tournament.
"I hope Joey doesn't do anything stupid," Anzu says.
Tristan then looks at Yugi and his concerned look.
"What is it buddy?" Tristan asks.
"Nothing I guess. Well, it's odd that Kaiba's holding a martial arts tournament and not a Duel Monsters tournament," Yugi says as he pulls out a game magazine and flips to the middle of the magazine.
"The thing is, Battle City was mentioned to be the largest Duel Monsters tournaments ever. Even bigger than Duelist Kingdom," Yugi says showing both Tristan and Anzu a two-page ad for the "Battle City" Duel Monsters tournament. "It was said that Kaiba wanted to use the production model Duel Disk Systems."
"Freaky. Wonder why he changed his mind and made it a fighting tournament?" Anzu asks.
"And why this big? Battle City will be leveled in days," Tristan says. "It's not like Kaiba to just throw that kinna cash away."
"I'm more worried about the prize. Why would Kaiba give a prize like that away? Twenty-two million dollars? The tournament will be cut-throat." Yugi asks. "Well, at least we don't have to worry about Joey entering."
In the Domino City Battle City registration building, Joey then receives his final entry paperwork and K-Brace, a silver armband.
"Here you go, Mr. Wheeler. These are your entry card and K-Brace," says the woman behind the counter.
"Cool," Joey says.
"Now I must warn you Mr. Wheeler," the woman begins. "Since you are only graded a rank C, I am legally obligated to inform you that if you engage in combat with anyone grade B or higher, it could result in death."
"What!? Death!? Isn't this just a tournament?" Joey asks.
"Yes, it is Mr. Wheeler, but it is also a full contact tournament; with, a rather large prize. So large that the competitors are ranked in different grades for the safety of the competitors."
Joey then tilts his head slightly to the right with question marks popping up around his head.
"Let me explain Mr. Wheeler. Since there are so many different fighters with different techniques and strength levels, the Battle City Committee or B.C.C. appointed the Battle City Grade Levels to protect the weaker fighters from the insanely powerful ones," the woman says.
"Oh," Joey says.
"Now, Grade C, which you are Mr. Wheeler," the woman continues as she shows Joey a holo-screen, "is the grade for normal humans. Grade B’s for enhanced humans. They are like pro-fighters and have advanced fighting techniques. Grade As for superhumans. They have super strength, speed, etc."
"Well lady," Joey begins, "Joey Wheeler's never back down from a fight. Not now, not ever."
"Well then, good luck and train hard for Battle City, Mr. Wheeler," the woman says, handing Joey the Battle City rulebook.
"Thanks!" Joey says.
As Joey races out of the office and to the hospital, back in Battle City, the Kaiba building's sub-basement to be more exact, Seto Kaiba smiles at the blown out western wall and the Blue Eyes White Dragon that caused the damage... his dragon.
"Mokuba?" Kaiba asks.
"Almost two-thirds a megaton of power," Mokuba says.
"And the Duel Disk is still at 98%!" Kaiba says. "Still not perfect though. I want the Blue Eyes at a megaton by the start of Battle City."
"Gotcha Seto," Mokuba says.
"There will be no doubt in anyone's mind whose number one in the world after Battle City," Kaiba says with a laugh and the Blue Eyes roaring behind him.
In the Kame-Game Shop in Domino City after Anzu and Tristan leave, Yugi at a counter looking over his Duel Monsters deck. A shadow-like form is beside the young boy. The form looks exactly like Yugi only abit taller. This is Yami- the sprit that was locked inside Yugi's treasure, his Millennium Puzzle. Yami looks over at his young partner and his worried face.
"What is it Yugi?" Yami asks.
"I don't all together know Yami." Yugi begins. "I guess it's Kaiba's fighting tournament. I still think it's strange."
"Yes. It is an odd play for Kaiba, but nothing I don't think we should worry about. This has nothing to do with Duel Monsters or us."Yami says.
Suddenly a voice sounds from out of seemingly nowhere ...
"That is where you are wrong my Pharoah."
Both Yugi and Yami look up to The Gravekeeper Shadi before them. Shadi kneels before Yugi as he says ...
"This tournament of tournaments has more to do with you and Duel Monsters than you could ever know."
Yami then merges his soul with Yugi's body and then says ...
"Alright Shadi. I'm listening."
As both Yami and Yugi receive one type of news from Shadi, Anzu and Tristan get news of another type from Joey ...
"YOU DID WHAT!?!" Both Anzu and Tristan exclaim.
"I told you guys. I entered the tournament." Joey says.
Joey is then slapped in the back of the head by Anzu.
"Are you out of your MIND Joey?! What part of 'Open to any and all fighters' did you NOT understand? You're gonna get yourself KILLED!" Anzu says slapping Joey again. "What were you thinking? WERE YOU THINKING?"
"Yea I was thinking. I was thinking about how I can do this on my own and pay Yugi back for Duelist Kingdom." Joey says as he rubs the back of his head.
"Pay Yugi back? What are you talk about? For what?" Anzu asks.
"C'mon, you know as well as I do if it weren't for Yugi, my sister would go blind. Yugi won. He beat Pegasus and won the Duelist Kingdom tournament. I lost. I'm a loser." Joey says. "I owe Yugi alot and I gotta start payin him back."
Both Anzu and Tristan only look at Joey with their heads tilted and after a few seconds, Anzu slaps Joey's head again.
"That sounds so STUPID! You know that Yugi did what he did to help you. His friend." Anzu says.
"Yeah Joey," Tristan begins as he stops Anzu from slapping Joey again. "Y'know that friends do things like that for each other. You would've done the same thing for Yugi if he needed it. You proved that by going to Duelist Kingdom."
"That was different ... " Joey says.
"How? If you dueled Pegasus and won would you have just took the money and left Yugi's grandfather trapped?" Tristan asks.
"NO! You know that!" Joey excliams.
"And Yugi wouldn't have let your sister go blind." Anzu says.
Joey looks to the ground and thinks of his pride. The pride that grew inside him since his days in the 'Wild Gang'.
"Look guys, Joey Wheeler always pays his debts. Just don't tell Yugi o-kay." Joey says as he then pushes pass his friends and begins down the street.
"Joey! Joey wait!" Tristan says.
"Don't tell Yugi!" Joey says as he then begins to run.
"That idiot. I hope he doesn't get killed." Anzu says.
Meanwhile in the Kaiba Building in Battle City, Seto Kaiba looks over the final Duel Disk.
"It's a bit bigger." He says.
"It's got to be for the power generator. No power loss remember big brother?" Mokuba says.
"Power output?" Seto asks.
"One megaton for a Blue-Eyes' White Lightning Attack. For two shots. You go for three, the Disk may shut down. I also took out the other monsters from your deck and replaced them with equipment cards. You can use the equip cards as personal weapons and it'll save energy in the Duel Disk." Mokuba says.
"Whatever. City armorments?" Seto continues.
"We got 200,000 laser cannons, 120,000 mini-might missile launchers and every vehicle in Battle City is a M.T.M.T.E." Mokuba says.
"M.T.M.T.E?" Seto asks.
" More. Than. Meets. The. Eye. It's a transformible combat unit that was just developed. They can be run by a human or remote." Mokuba says.
"Good. Add another 100,000 to the cannons and the missile launchers. I'm going to the C.T.R.." Seto says.
Before Seto could turn around, the door of the room slides open and the Kaiba Brothers' aid Fraser walks in. Fraser is a tall and blonde female that never shows skin like the other aids do. It's not because she isn't pretty enough or doesn't have the body, in fact she's built better than all of the Kaiba Brothers' aids. Fraser's just all work and no play what so ever.
"Mr.Kaiba. I have some rather disturbing news from our networks." Fraser begins.
"What is it?" Seto asks.
"It seems that the number Rank A class fighters far outnumber the Rank C class fighters." Fraser says.
"So?" Seto says.
"This could mean Battle City could turn in a blood bath and alot of bad PR for Kaiba Corp." Fraser says.
"So?" Seto says.
"Do you care?" Fraser asks.
"No. All the fighters were told upon entering the tournament that it's a chance that they could die. At that point, they could chicken out. So, no I don't care. The Rank C's get killed? Oh well. They should've been stronger. I'm going to C.T.R. Mokuba." Seto says to Fraser then turning to Mokuba.
"Seto? What do you want me to do with your old Duel Disk?" Mokuba asks.
"Whatever you want." Seto says walking out.
"Well, I'll be leaving Mr. Kaiba ... " Fraser begins.
"Fraser wait. Get me a list of all the Class C's and stop the entry of Class C's in the tournament. I'm gonna contact the Class C's and tell what you just told me, and if they still want in o-kay. My brother may not care but I do." Mokuba says.
Tournament of Tournaments- Act 2: Questions and Answers! Kaiba's Reasons Revealed!
Seto Kaiba's elevator reaches the sub-basement and the doors slide open. He then walks down the long hallway the Combat Training Room. With a sharp voice command, the C.T.R. doors open and Kaiba comes face to face with a raven haired, brown skinned beauty clad in white. This is the Gravekeeper, Isis Ishizu.
"Is it all ready Mr. Kaiba?" Isis asks.
"Battle City will be underway in seven days. Now are you going to tell me why do you have me doing this?" Kaiba asks.
"All I can say is that is that it is very important that this tournament takes place. The very world hangs in the balance." Isis says.
"So you say. Look, I ageed to run this little tournament of yours because it piqued my interest, but the money it cost to set this up is only a drop in one of my smallest buckets. If you don't tell what's this all about, I WILL call it off." Kaiba says.
"Mr. Kaiba, I know you have many questions about why I asked this request of you one year ago. You just have to trust me." Isis says.
"There's only one person in this world I trust and you're not him, so give me my answers or play your games with someone else." Kaiba says.
Isis then sighes softly. There are others she knows. Others with the courage but not the means and those others with means but not the courage. As much as she wishes her own group could do it, she knows she needs more strong fighters. Like it or not, for now- right now, she needs Seto Kaiba. Isis then takes Kaiba by the hand and leads him into the C.T.R. .
"I knew I would have explain this to you Mr. Kaiba," Isis begins. "Thousands of years ago, the game you know as Duel Monsters was played on an epic level. Mighty Spellcasters and Warriors summoned the very monsters on your playing cards."
Kaiba then looks to Isis with a very disbelieveing look on his face as he says ...
"You really want me to believe that?"
"Yes Mr. Kaiba, Because it is true." Isis says. "Now there were three monsters that were the most powerful. God Monsters if you will. When the three Gods appeared on our world, they caused untold destruction until they were cast back into the darkness by a band of heroes."
"What does this have to do with Battle City?" Kaiba asks.
"The story of the Gods were recorded in the tomb of the Pharoah. It was the mission of my parents to guard the tomb of the Pharoah and when they unable to continue their mission, it fell upon my younger brother and I. As the man you know as Pegasus began his quest to create the game Duel Monsters for the world of today, he came across the story of the Gods and he and his team brought the story to America where he created the three God Cards- The Saint Dragon of Osiris, The God of Obelisk and The God of Sun Dragon Ra for himself. Pegasus' team was driven mad by the rage of the Gods and Pegasus himself was almost driven into the abyss of madness. For fear of the Gods' power unleashed upon the world, Pegasus contacted me." Isis says.
"And ..." Kaiba bagins.
"Who am I?" Isis interrupts. "I am a Gravekeeper. A Guardian of the Pharoah. Both my younger brother Malik and I watched over the Pharoah's tomb and awaited his return. After Pegasus contacted me, my brother and I then locked the God Cards deep inside three tombs and all was well until my brother was consumed by darkness and power. He then found a way to summon the Gods to Earth and then began to gather the cards," Isis says as the C.T.R.'s advanced technolgy activates transforming the room's environment from plain stone grey walls the deep interior of tomb.
"So, you were able to hack into my C.T.R.'s holo-database? Not a small feat." Kaiba says.
"Please Mr. Kaiba, watch the events of one year ago." Isis says as she points towards a small group people dressed much like herself.
The group counts as four, Isis herself, a large bald man clad in black and two other younger men, one clad in white and the other in black. The Holo-Isis looks over the walls of the tomb and then turns the larger bald man.
"Lord Malik is very close. It was wise that you destroyed the Sun God card Lady Isis." The man says.
The Holo-Isis then draws the Osiris card and looks at it. She then rips it in two. An energy beam then cuts through the air aimed at the Holo-Isis.
"LADY ISIS!! LOOK OUT!!!" The white clad young man exclaims as he points a staff towards Holo-Isis. "ANTI-SPELL!!!!!" He calls and a shield forms around Holo-Isis having the energy beam bounce away.
"Thank you Skilled White Magicain." Holo-Isis says as the shield fads. "Brother! Show yourself!"
The room then begins to shake. Suddenly, the north wall is blown away and huge blue demon-like creature stand before them holding the broken body of a young man that looks much like Isis by the head. The energy radiates from the demon seeming to the pull the ground around it up.
" Lady Isis, is that?" The black clad young man begins.
"Yes Skilled Dark Magicain. This is the God of Obelisk."Holo-Isis says.
"Powwwwwer." Obelisk says in a hollow voice as he then crushes the young man's head he was holding.
"NOOOOOO!!!" Holo-Isis exclaims.
Holo-Isis builds her energy and in a flash she launches one of the most powerful spells known ... "RAIGEKI!!!!!" A powerful lightninig bolt fires from her hands and hammers Obelisk in the chest with no effect.
"The Raigeki has no effect?" The bald man asks.
"I... am ... God." Obelisk says as he throws a punch towards Holo-Isis.
The punch is so powerful that the walls, floor and celing around Obelisk begin to break apart. The Skilled Dark Magicain wastes no time sliding between Holo-Isis and the punch thrown by Obelisk as he raises a magic force field.
"MIRROR FORCE!" he exclaims.
Obelisk's punch then hits the Mirror Force and seemingly stops the punch.
"Are you alright Lady Isis?" The Skilled Dark Magicain asks.
Holo-Isis nods, suddenly both her and the the Skilled Dark Magicain's eyes widen as the Mirror Force wall begins to crack. Obelisk is then heard.
"I... am... GOD!"
The punch then break through the Mirror Force and hits the Skilled Dark Magician. The blow turns the young man into dust and continue toward Holo-Isis. The words ... "MIRROR WALL" echo thoughout the tomb as a wall of mirrors spring up to shield Holo-Isis. The punch hits the the Mirror Wall spell and Holo-Isis has time to dive for cover.The Mirror Wall the shatters as the punch stops.
"OBELISK! I will fight the Ultimate Fighting God." The bald man says.
"ODEION! NO!" Holo-Isis yell out.
"You wish to die?" Obelisk asks turning to Odeion. "THEN SO BE IT!!"
The Ultimate Fighting God then throws a punch towards Odeion. Suddenly, three large energy swords drop between Obelisk and Odeion, stopping the attack. These are the ...
"SWORDS OF REVEALING LIGHT!!!" Yells Skilled White Magician. "Odeion! The Swords won't hold long! Get Lady Isis out of here! I have one more spell to try!"
"You mean to use the ..."
"Yes, and it will take us all down. So get her out NOW!" Skilled White Magicain exclaims.
Odeion nods as he grabs Holo-Isis and races out of the tomb. Obelisk then punches through the Swords of Revealing Light and then faces off against the Skilled White Magician.
"This is the end Obelisk." Skilled White Magician says.
"For you maybe." Obelisk says.
"For both of us. Now face the fury of the DARK HOLE!!!!!!!!!"
The C.T.R. then transforms back to its normal mode. Kaiba the looks to Isis.
"So I take it that Obelisk wasn't destroyed by that Dark Hole." He says.
"Yes Mr. Kaiba. Obelisk was seen only minutes after the Dark Hole." Isis says.
"You know this ..."
"But it does Mr. Kaiba. The answer is right in front of you. The reason I came to you to create this tournament of tournaments, was to lure the Ultimate Fighting God to me so I can rid the world of him." Isis says.
"Raigeki, Dark Hole, Mirror Force. Those are some of the most powerful spells and traps in all of Duel Monsters, " Kaiba begins as he looks Isis up and down. "Do you really think that YOU can defeat the so-called Ultimate Fighting God?"
Isis the smiles as she asks, "Do you really think YOU can win Battle City?"
Kaiba then begins to laugh as he actives his Duel Disk, "Well of course. It's MY tournament and no one will stop me from being number one in the world."
"Then Mr. Kaiba, you need to get back to your training." Isis says as she slowly begins to disappears. "Good luck Mr. Kaiba."
"Luck? I've never gotten anything by luck before..." Kaiba begins to think as Isis disappears. "Computer! Run Program: Seto - Alpha - BC!" Kaiba orders.
The C.T.R. then transforms again, but this time into one of the many streets of Domino City with a training robot facing him.
"Level?" The robot asks.
"AND I'M NOT STARTING NOW!!!" Kaiba thinks. "Max." Kaiba says as he then begins to rush the robot.
Meanwhile, in the Kame-Game Shop in Domino City, Shadi ends his story of the Gods with Yugi and Yami.
"So that's why Kaiba has changed the Battle City from a Duel Monsters tournament to a fighting tournament." Yugi begins.
"Yes to lure Obelisk out to open and not to endanger anyone. In Battle City, they'll be only fighters, but what does this have to do with Yugi?" Yami asks.
"You must join the tournament Pharoah." Shadi says.
"What?!?" Both Yugi and Yami asks.
"Shadi, Yugi is no fighter. He will be killed." Yami says as Yugi nods.
"No he won't. Not after you learn how truly play the game Duel Monsters." Shadi says as he hands Yugi a card with a red dragon on it. "This, Pharoah is the Saint Dragon - The God of Osiris."
"I thought you said that your 'Lady Isis' destroyed the two God Cards she had?" Yugi asks.
"That is what she told Seto Kaiba. Lady Isis feared that if Seto Kaiba knew of the Saint Dragon, the greed of power would over take him. It will take much more than just a good fighter the lay down the mighty God of Obelisk." Shadi says. "The world's safety hangs with this tournament."
"Then I will enter Battle City." Yugi says as he takes the card.
"Yugi ..." Yami begins
"Yami we must enter." Yugi says.
Yami nods, then turns to Shadi as he says, "You said we must truly learn how to play Duel Monsters. How do we do this?"
"Look to the Thousand Brick Puzzle." Shadi says as he begins to disappear. "Good luck my Pharoah."
As Shadi disappears, the shop's telephone begins to ring. Yugi then answers.
"Kame-Game ... Huh? Mokuba? WHAT?!? Joey entered Battle City?"
Two blocks away, Joey stands over two bloody gang members as a little kid runs off thanking him.
"Gangbusting is the best training I get before Battle City." Joey says.
In the shadows a third gang member calls his leader on a cell phone.
"Yea boss I'm sure. Joey from the Wild Gang. I dunno ... maybe the Wild Gang got back together. Yea, I know. We'll take care of him. Nobody messes with the Dark Scorpions."
TOURNAMENT OF TOURNMENTS! Act One: Call To Arms! The Announcement of Battle City!
The young C.E.O. of Kaiba Corp sits at his computer as he has done for the pass three weeks. The prepreations are almost done and the tournament can begin on time. His tournament, the Battle City Tournament, has been a long time coming. It was suppose to be his grand return to the Duel Monsters lime light. This tournament was suppose to show the world who was the number one duelist in the world. Things have changed since then. Ishizu, the sister of a madman came to him and with the help of her Millennium Torque she wears, showed the young man that there are more important things in this life than Duel Monsters. Seto Kaiba stops typing on his keyboard and rubs his eyes as the door to the dark room slides open with a low hiss. A little boy then walks inside. The boy has wildly black hair and is dressed in a Kaiba Corp jumpsuit. This is Seto Kaiba's younger brother, Mokuba. With a single word command, Mokuba has the lights of the room switch on.
"Seto? Are you still working?" Mokuba asks. "It's Three in the morning. You need some sleep."
Seto turns his head slightly as brushes his brown bangs away from his eyes. He then rises out of his chair and begin to streech. He then walk toward as world, his little brother and rest his hand upon his head.
"Yeah little brother. I'm still working." Seto begins. "There's still much to do before I can announce the start of Battle City."
"Yeah, I guess. I still think it's strange that you changed Battle City from a Duel Monsters tournament to a martial arts tournament. I mean, it threw alot of people for a loop." Mokuba says.
"Think about how people're are gonna feel when I announce it in the morning." Seto says.
"Well you won't be doing anything if you don't get any sleep." Mokuba says.
"I guess you're Mokuba. Is my Duel Disk ready?" Seto asks.
"It will be. Now get some sleep." Mokuba says.
Seto nods as he hugs Mokuba. He then walks out of the room. Mokuba then sits in the chair that his brother sat in for hours and begins to backup all of his big brother's work. After the backup is complete, Mokuba then brings up a map of 'Battle City'. He looks over the weapon systems that will protect the city and then thinks to himself ...
"What do we need all of this hardware for Seto? Who do you think is gunna crash this party?"
The next morning, Seto Kaiba's face is on every television screen on Earth. The blue- eyed young man wearing a white coat having his brown hair barely covering his eyes cracks a smile as he begins to speak.
" Greetings fighters of the world. I am Seto Kaiba, President of Kaiba Corporation..."
" For the past year my company has been building an exact copy of the city of Domino. The reason for this is to host the largest martial arts tournament the world has ever seen. THE BATTLE CITY TOURNAMENT! " Kaiba says.
" Kaiba Corp's bankroll is enough to make Battle City so large that it'll make any World Fighting Tournament in the past, present or even the future look like some kind of meaningless joke! A waste of time! " Kaiba continues.
" Money as a prize would be to mundane, but why not. The winner of Battle City will receive twenty-two million dollars and the title of The Number One Fighter In The World!! What more could anyone ask?" Kaiba says.
" Battle City begins in seven days and is open to any and all fighters. If you have the courage, BE THERE!! " Kaiba says as the view-screen switches to a map showing the location of Battle City.
As the call to arms sound across the world for Battle City, in the Kaiba Corp. Building in Battle City, Seto Kaiba steps away from the television camera. He then turns to one of his female aids.
" Well? " Kaiba asks.
" As you ordered Mr. Kaiba, " Begins the long legged redhead aid. " Anything and everything that could pick up your broadcast ... did pick it up. "
With a smile, Kaiba then turns to a very busty blonde female and asks, " Is it ready? "
" Yes Mr. Kaiba. Your Duel Disk is in the sub-basement testing area ready for your final live test sir. " The aid says.
"Fine. I'll be in the testing area then," Kaiba says as he leaves.
"Yes Mr. Kaiba," both aids say as they watch Kaiba leave the room.
He reaches an elevator. With a voice command, the elevator doors opens and as he steps inside, he sounds another voice command and the elevator begins its trip to the sub-basement. The trip is short, and as the elevator reaches the sub-basement and opens its doors, Kaiba sets eyes upon his little brother Mokuba, working on a command keyboard. Kaiba steps out and searches the room filled with data gathering equipment for his weapon of choice, his creation- the Duel Disk System. Mokuba then stops his task at hand and turns to his brother.
"Hey Seto. The Duel Disk is ready for the last live test," Mokuba says.
Kaiba then looks at the silver and black rather large device with five card ports. He then straps the device on his left arm and tests the weight.
"I still don't see why you won't just let droid make the final test Seto." Mokuba says.
"Because little brother," Kaiba begins, "I'll be in Battle City and not some droid. Now set up the test."
"Gotcha Seto," Mokuba says.
Kaiba then steps across the room and through another door leading to a testing area. Kaiba's voice is then heard over Mokuba's headset.
"Mokuba, the Duel Disk feels heavier than the prototype."
"It has a stronger force field projector now," Mokuba says.
"O-k. Set it up." Kaiba says as he looks around the bare walls of the testing area. "One auto-op. Max level. Fail-safe off." Kaiba continues as he draws his forty-card Duel Monsters deck from his inside coat pocket and places it into his Duel Disk system.
A small hatch in the floor before Kaiba opens and an android rises slowly. Kaiba smiles and snaps into a combat stance drawing five cards from the Duel Disk.
"Ready when you are Mokuba," Kaiba says.
"Then ready. GO!!" Mokuba calls.
The humanoid android begins the test battle by firing a volley of energy beams at Kaiba. Kaiba sidesteps the energy blasts as he slaps a monster card in one of the five card ports of the Duel Disk. Suddenly, the hologram of the axe-wielding minotaur, the Battle Ox, appears in front of Kaiba, defending him.
"Now, it's time to test the hard light holograms. Battle Ox, ATTACK!"
The Battle Ox begins its attack with a flurry of axe swings. The android parries and dodges the Battle Ox's attack. Watching this, Kaiba draws another card and places it in the second card port. A hologram of a dark colored dragon with bat-like wings appears.
"Now begin your attack Koumori Dragon!" Kaiba calls.
The Koumori Dragon then takes aim and opens its mouth.
"Battle Ox! Move!" commands Kaiba.
The Battle Ox stops its attack and sidesteps as the Koumori Dragon fires a beam of dark energy. The android then back fists the beam into the western wall. The energy beam leaves a large hole in the western wall.
"Looks like the laser system works," Kaiba says.
"And that's just a low-grade blast," Mokuba says. "Wait 'til you see the blast from the Blue Eyes White Dragon."
Kaiba then looks at the smoking hole made by the Koumori Dragon as he commands his Battle Ox to restart its attack.
"So that's just a low-grade blast, huh?" Kaiba wonders. "Well, let's see what the highest grade can do."
As Kaiba's final test in Battle City continues, in the city of Domino, Yugi Mutou, the winner of last year's Duelist Kingdom Tournament, along with his friends Joey Wheeler, Tristan Taylor and Anzu Mazaki sit around in the front area of Yugi's grandfather's game store talking about Battle City.
"So what do you think about that 'Battle City' tournament thing?" Tristan asks.
"Ah'm thinkin' 'bout joining the tournament and gettin' the money," Joey says.
"Are you nuts?!?" both Tristan and Anzu ask.
"What?" Joey asks sheepishly.
"Bud, there's gonna be fighters from all over the world there in Battle City," Tristan says. "All types of styles and maybe even superhuman fighters."
"You'll get yourself killed!" Anzu says. "Your sister got money for her eye operation from you and Yugi from the Duelist Kingdom prize," Anzu says.
"I know Anzu, but..." Joey starts.
"Oh, shut up, you lug," Anzu says.
"Yeah, Joey. Getting a beatdown isn't gonna do your sister Serenity any good," Tristan says.
"Just be there so you're the first thing she sees when the operation is over. That's the best thing you can do." Yugi says.
"Guess you're right Yugi," Joey says as he gets up and walks to the door. "Well guys, I'm gunna go give Serenity a visit. Ah'll see ya."
"Later Joey," His three friends say watching him leave.
Joey steps out of the game store with his head down. He hears bystanders talk about Battle City and wonders...
"No matter what anyone says, I blew it. If not for Yugi, Serenity would go blind. I was never good at Duel Monsters, but street fighting..."
Joey then stops and remembers his old street gang days. Joey was never the best kid out there. He had his more than his fair share of run-ins with the ‘bad crowd' seeing how he was in the ‘bad crowd' as a member of the ‘Wild Gang’ a gang known for starting turf wars with other gangs. Some gangs were in his age range and others were … well lets just say they more than the Wild Gang to handle at times. Joey was the number two-man in the gang and was a true troublemaker that was until his little sister made him drop that life. As he turns his head, Joey notices that the building he stopped in front of was a Battle City registration office.
"Street fighting is the only thing I can do well. I hope the guys will understand."
He then walks inside. Meanwhile, back at the Kame Game Store, Yugi, Tristan and Anzu continue to talk about the tournament.
"I hope Joey doesn't do anything stupid," Anzu says.
Tristan then looks at Yugi and his concerned look.
"What is it buddy?" Tristan asks.
"Nothing I guess. Well, it's odd that Kaiba's holding a martial arts tournament and not a Duel Monsters tournament," Yugi says as he pulls out a game magazine and flips to the middle of the magazine.
"The thing is, Battle City was mentioned to be the largest Duel Monsters tournaments ever. Even bigger than Duelist Kingdom," Yugi says showing both Tristan and Anzu a two-page ad for the "Battle City" Duel Monsters tournament. "It was said that Kaiba wanted to use the production model Duel Disk Systems."
"Freaky. Wonder why he changed his mind and made it a fighting tournament?" Anzu asks.
"And why this big? Battle City will be leveled in days," Tristan says. "It's not like Kaiba to just throw that kinna cash away."
"I'm more worried about the prize. Why would Kaiba give a prize like that away? Twenty-two million dollars? The tournament will be cut-throat." Yugi asks. "Well, at least we don't have to worry about Joey entering."
In the Domino City Battle City registration building, Joey then receives his final entry paperwork and K-Brace, a silver armband.
"Here you go, Mr. Wheeler. These are your entry card and K-Brace," says the woman behind the counter.
"Cool," Joey says.
"Now I must warn you Mr. Wheeler," the woman begins. "Since you are only graded a rank C, I am legally obligated to inform you that if you engage in combat with anyone grade B or higher, it could result in death."
"What!? Death!? Isn't this just a tournament?" Joey asks.
"Yes, it is Mr. Wheeler, but it is also a full contact tournament; with, a rather large prize. So large that the competitors are ranked in different grades for the safety of the competitors."
Joey then tilts his head slightly to the right with question marks popping up around his head.
"Let me explain Mr. Wheeler. Since there are so many different fighters with different techniques and strength levels, the Battle City Committee or B.C.C. appointed the Battle City Grade Levels to protect the weaker fighters from the insanely powerful ones," the woman says.
"Oh," Joey says.
"Now, Grade C, which you are Mr. Wheeler," the woman continues as she shows Joey a holo-screen, "is the grade for normal humans. Grade B’s for enhanced humans. They are like pro-fighters and have advanced fighting techniques. Grade As for superhumans. They have super strength, speed, etc."
"Well lady," Joey begins, "Joey Wheeler's never back down from a fight. Not now, not ever."
"Well then, good luck and train hard for Battle City, Mr. Wheeler," the woman says, handing Joey the Battle City rulebook.
"Thanks!" Joey says.
As Joey races out of the office and to the hospital, back in Battle City, the Kaiba building's sub-basement to be more exact, Seto Kaiba smiles at the blown out western wall and the Blue Eyes White Dragon that caused the damage... his dragon.
"Mokuba?" Kaiba asks.
"Almost two-thirds a megaton of power," Mokuba says.
"And the Duel Disk is still at 98%!" Kaiba says. "Still not perfect though. I want the Blue Eyes at a megaton by the start of Battle City."
"Gotcha Seto," Mokuba says.
"There will be no doubt in anyone's mind whose number one in the world after Battle City," Kaiba says with a laugh and the Blue Eyes roaring behind him.
In the Kame-Game Shop in Domino City after Anzu and Tristan leave, Yugi at a counter looking over his Duel Monsters deck. A shadow-like form is beside the young boy. The form looks exactly like Yugi only abit taller. This is Yami- the sprit that was locked inside Yugi's treasure, his Millennium Puzzle. Yami looks over at his young partner and his worried face.
"What is it Yugi?" Yami asks.
"I don't all together know Yami." Yugi begins. "I guess it's Kaiba's fighting tournament. I still think it's strange."
"Yes. It is an odd play for Kaiba, but nothing I don't think we should worry about. This has nothing to do with Duel Monsters or us."Yami says.
Suddenly a voice sounds from out of seemingly nowhere ...
"That is where you are wrong my Pharoah."
Both Yugi and Yami look up to The Gravekeeper Shadi before them. Shadi kneels before Yugi as he says ...
"This tournament of tournaments has more to do with you and Duel Monsters than you could ever know."
Yami then merges his soul with Yugi's body and then says ...
"Alright Shadi. I'm listening."
As both Yami and Yugi receive one type of news from Shadi, Anzu and Tristan get news of another type from Joey ...
"YOU DID WHAT!?!" Both Anzu and Tristan exclaim.
"I told you guys. I entered the tournament." Joey says.
Joey is then slapped in the back of the head by Anzu.
"Are you out of your MIND Joey?! What part of 'Open to any and all fighters' did you NOT understand? You're gonna get yourself KILLED!" Anzu says slapping Joey again. "What were you thinking? WERE YOU THINKING?"
"Yea I was thinking. I was thinking about how I can do this on my own and pay Yugi back for Duelist Kingdom." Joey says as he rubs the back of his head.
"Pay Yugi back? What are you talk about? For what?" Anzu asks.
"C'mon, you know as well as I do if it weren't for Yugi, my sister would go blind. Yugi won. He beat Pegasus and won the Duelist Kingdom tournament. I lost. I'm a loser." Joey says. "I owe Yugi alot and I gotta start payin him back."
Both Anzu and Tristan only look at Joey with their heads tilted and after a few seconds, Anzu slaps Joey's head again.
"That sounds so STUPID! You know that Yugi did what he did to help you. His friend." Anzu says.
"Yeah Joey," Tristan begins as he stops Anzu from slapping Joey again. "Y'know that friends do things like that for each other. You would've done the same thing for Yugi if he needed it. You proved that by going to Duelist Kingdom."
"That was different ... " Joey says.
"How? If you dueled Pegasus and won would you have just took the money and left Yugi's grandfather trapped?" Tristan asks.
"NO! You know that!" Joey excliams.
"And Yugi wouldn't have let your sister go blind." Anzu says.
Joey looks to the ground and thinks of his pride. The pride that grew inside him since his days in the 'Wild Gang'.
"Look guys, Joey Wheeler always pays his debts. Just don't tell Yugi o-kay." Joey says as he then pushes pass his friends and begins down the street.
"Joey! Joey wait!" Tristan says.
"Don't tell Yugi!" Joey says as he then begins to run.
"That idiot. I hope he doesn't get killed." Anzu says.
Meanwhile in the Kaiba Building in Battle City, Seto Kaiba looks over the final Duel Disk.
"It's a bit bigger." He says.
"It's got to be for the power generator. No power loss remember big brother?" Mokuba says.
"Power output?" Seto asks.
"One megaton for a Blue-Eyes' White Lightning Attack. For two shots. You go for three, the Disk may shut down. I also took out the other monsters from your deck and replaced them with equipment cards. You can use the equip cards as personal weapons and it'll save energy in the Duel Disk." Mokuba says.
"Whatever. City armorments?" Seto continues.
"We got 200,000 laser cannons, 120,000 mini-might missile launchers and every vehicle in Battle City is a M.T.M.T.E." Mokuba says.
"M.T.M.T.E?" Seto asks.
" More. Than. Meets. The. Eye. It's a transformible combat unit that was just developed. They can be run by a human or remote." Mokuba says.
"Good. Add another 100,000 to the cannons and the missile launchers. I'm going to the C.T.R.." Seto says.
Before Seto could turn around, the door of the room slides open and the Kaiba Brothers' aid Fraser walks in. Fraser is a tall and blonde female that never shows skin like the other aids do. It's not because she isn't pretty enough or doesn't have the body, in fact she's built better than all of the Kaiba Brothers' aids. Fraser's just all work and no play what so ever.
"Mr.Kaiba. I have some rather disturbing news from our networks." Fraser begins.
"What is it?" Seto asks.
"It seems that the number Rank A class fighters far outnumber the Rank C class fighters." Fraser says.
"So?" Seto says.
"This could mean Battle City could turn in a blood bath and alot of bad PR for Kaiba Corp." Fraser says.
"So?" Seto says.
"Do you care?" Fraser asks.
"No. All the fighters were told upon entering the tournament that it's a chance that they could die. At that point, they could chicken out. So, no I don't care. The Rank C's get killed? Oh well. They should've been stronger. I'm going to C.T.R. Mokuba." Seto says to Fraser then turning to Mokuba.
"Seto? What do you want me to do with your old Duel Disk?" Mokuba asks.
"Whatever you want." Seto says walking out.
"Well, I'll be leaving Mr. Kaiba ... " Fraser begins.
"Fraser wait. Get me a list of all the Class C's and stop the entry of Class C's in the tournament. I'm gonna contact the Class C's and tell what you just told me, and if they still want in o-kay. My brother may not care but I do." Mokuba says.
Tournament of Tournaments- Act 2: Questions and Answers! Kaiba's Reasons Revealed!
Seto Kaiba's elevator reaches the sub-basement and the doors slide open. He then walks down the long hallway the Combat Training Room. With a sharp voice command, the C.T.R. doors open and Kaiba comes face to face with a raven haired, brown skinned beauty clad in white. This is the Gravekeeper, Isis Ishizu.
"Is it all ready Mr. Kaiba?" Isis asks.
"Battle City will be underway in seven days. Now are you going to tell me why do you have me doing this?" Kaiba asks.
"All I can say is that is that it is very important that this tournament takes place. The very world hangs in the balance." Isis says.
"So you say. Look, I ageed to run this little tournament of yours because it piqued my interest, but the money it cost to set this up is only a drop in one of my smallest buckets. If you don't tell what's this all about, I WILL call it off." Kaiba says.
"Mr. Kaiba, I know you have many questions about why I asked this request of you one year ago. You just have to trust me." Isis says.
"There's only one person in this world I trust and you're not him, so give me my answers or play your games with someone else." Kaiba says.
Isis then sighes softly. There are others she knows. Others with the courage but not the means and those others with means but not the courage. As much as she wishes her own group could do it, she knows she needs more strong fighters. Like it or not, for now- right now, she needs Seto Kaiba. Isis then takes Kaiba by the hand and leads him into the C.T.R. .
"I knew I would have explain this to you Mr. Kaiba," Isis begins. "Thousands of years ago, the game you know as Duel Monsters was played on an epic level. Mighty Spellcasters and Warriors summoned the very monsters on your playing cards."
Kaiba then looks to Isis with a very disbelieveing look on his face as he says ...
"You really want me to believe that?"
"Yes Mr. Kaiba, Because it is true." Isis says. "Now there were three monsters that were the most powerful. God Monsters if you will. When the three Gods appeared on our world, they caused untold destruction until they were cast back into the darkness by a band of heroes."
"What does this have to do with Battle City?" Kaiba asks.
"The story of the Gods were recorded in the tomb of the Pharoah. It was the mission of my parents to guard the tomb of the Pharoah and when they unable to continue their mission, it fell upon my younger brother and I. As the man you know as Pegasus began his quest to create the game Duel Monsters for the world of today, he came across the story of the Gods and he and his team brought the story to America where he created the three God Cards- The Saint Dragon of Osiris, The God of Obelisk and The God of Sun Dragon Ra for himself. Pegasus' team was driven mad by the rage of the Gods and Pegasus himself was almost driven into the abyss of madness. For fear of the Gods' power unleashed upon the world, Pegasus contacted me." Isis says.
"And ..." Kaiba bagins.
"Who am I?" Isis interrupts. "I am a Gravekeeper. A Guardian of the Pharoah. Both my younger brother Malik and I watched over the Pharoah's tomb and awaited his return. After Pegasus contacted me, my brother and I then locked the God Cards deep inside three tombs and all was well until my brother was consumed by darkness and power. He then found a way to summon the Gods to Earth and then began to gather the cards," Isis says as the C.T.R.'s advanced technolgy activates transforming the room's environment from plain stone grey walls the deep interior of tomb.
"So, you were able to hack into my C.T.R.'s holo-database? Not a small feat." Kaiba says.
"Please Mr. Kaiba, watch the events of one year ago." Isis says as she points towards a small group people dressed much like herself.
The group counts as four, Isis herself, a large bald man clad in black and two other younger men, one clad in white and the other in black. The Holo-Isis looks over the walls of the tomb and then turns the larger bald man.
"Lord Malik is very close. It was wise that you destroyed the Sun God card Lady Isis." The man says.
The Holo-Isis then draws the Osiris card and looks at it. She then rips it in two. An energy beam then cuts through the air aimed at the Holo-Isis.
"LADY ISIS!! LOOK OUT!!!" The white clad young man exclaims as he points a staff towards Holo-Isis. "ANTI-SPELL!!!!!" He calls and a shield forms around Holo-Isis having the energy beam bounce away.
"Thank you Skilled White Magicain." Holo-Isis says as the shield fads. "Brother! Show yourself!"
The room then begins to shake. Suddenly, the north wall is blown away and huge blue demon-like creature stand before them holding the broken body of a young man that looks much like Isis by the head. The energy radiates from the demon seeming to the pull the ground around it up.
" Lady Isis, is that?" The black clad young man begins.
"Yes Skilled Dark Magicain. This is the God of Obelisk."Holo-Isis says.
"Powwwwwer." Obelisk says in a hollow voice as he then crushes the young man's head he was holding.
"NOOOOOO!!!" Holo-Isis exclaims.
Holo-Isis builds her energy and in a flash she launches one of the most powerful spells known ... "RAIGEKI!!!!!" A powerful lightninig bolt fires from her hands and hammers Obelisk in the chest with no effect.
"The Raigeki has no effect?" The bald man asks.
"I... am ... God." Obelisk says as he throws a punch towards Holo-Isis.
The punch is so powerful that the walls, floor and celing around Obelisk begin to break apart. The Skilled Dark Magicain wastes no time sliding between Holo-Isis and the punch thrown by Obelisk as he raises a magic force field.
"MIRROR FORCE!" he exclaims.
Obelisk's punch then hits the Mirror Force and seemingly stops the punch.
"Are you alright Lady Isis?" The Skilled Dark Magicain asks.
Holo-Isis nods, suddenly both her and the the Skilled Dark Magicain's eyes widen as the Mirror Force wall begins to crack. Obelisk is then heard.
"I... am... GOD!"
The punch then break through the Mirror Force and hits the Skilled Dark Magician. The blow turns the young man into dust and continue toward Holo-Isis. The words ... "MIRROR WALL" echo thoughout the tomb as a wall of mirrors spring up to shield Holo-Isis. The punch hits the the Mirror Wall spell and Holo-Isis has time to dive for cover.The Mirror Wall the shatters as the punch stops.
"OBELISK! I will fight the Ultimate Fighting God." The bald man says.
"ODEION! NO!" Holo-Isis yell out.
"You wish to die?" Obelisk asks turning to Odeion. "THEN SO BE IT!!"
The Ultimate Fighting God then throws a punch towards Odeion. Suddenly, three large energy swords drop between Obelisk and Odeion, stopping the attack. These are the ...
"SWORDS OF REVEALING LIGHT!!!" Yells Skilled White Magician. "Odeion! The Swords won't hold long! Get Lady Isis out of here! I have one more spell to try!"
"You mean to use the ..."
"Yes, and it will take us all down. So get her out NOW!" Skilled White Magicain exclaims.
Odeion nods as he grabs Holo-Isis and races out of the tomb. Obelisk then punches through the Swords of Revealing Light and then faces off against the Skilled White Magician.
"This is the end Obelisk." Skilled White Magician says.
"For you maybe." Obelisk says.
"For both of us. Now face the fury of the DARK HOLE!!!!!!!!!"
The C.T.R. then transforms back to its normal mode. Kaiba the looks to Isis.
"So I take it that Obelisk wasn't destroyed by that Dark Hole." He says.
"Yes Mr. Kaiba. Obelisk was seen only minutes after the Dark Hole." Isis says.
"You know this ..."
"But it does Mr. Kaiba. The answer is right in front of you. The reason I came to you to create this tournament of tournaments, was to lure the Ultimate Fighting God to me so I can rid the world of him." Isis says.
"Raigeki, Dark Hole, Mirror Force. Those are some of the most powerful spells and traps in all of Duel Monsters, " Kaiba begins as he looks Isis up and down. "Do you really think that YOU can defeat the so-called Ultimate Fighting God?"
Isis the smiles as she asks, "Do you really think YOU can win Battle City?"
Kaiba then begins to laugh as he actives his Duel Disk, "Well of course. It's MY tournament and no one will stop me from being number one in the world."
"Then Mr. Kaiba, you need to get back to your training." Isis says as she slowly begins to disappears. "Good luck Mr. Kaiba."
"Luck? I've never gotten anything by luck before..." Kaiba begins to think as Isis disappears. "Computer! Run Program: Seto - Alpha - BC!" Kaiba orders.
The C.T.R. then transforms again, but this time into one of the many streets of Domino City with a training robot facing him.
"Level?" The robot asks.
"AND I'M NOT STARTING NOW!!!" Kaiba thinks. "Max." Kaiba says as he then begins to rush the robot.
Meanwhile, in the Kame-Game Shop in Domino City, Shadi ends his story of the Gods with Yugi and Yami.
"So that's why Kaiba has changed the Battle City from a Duel Monsters tournament to a fighting tournament." Yugi begins.
"Yes to lure Obelisk out to open and not to endanger anyone. In Battle City, they'll be only fighters, but what does this have to do with Yugi?" Yami asks.
"You must join the tournament Pharoah." Shadi says.
"What?!?" Both Yugi and Yami asks.
"Shadi, Yugi is no fighter. He will be killed." Yami says as Yugi nods.
"No he won't. Not after you learn how truly play the game Duel Monsters." Shadi says as he hands Yugi a card with a red dragon on it. "This, Pharoah is the Saint Dragon - The God of Osiris."
"I thought you said that your 'Lady Isis' destroyed the two God Cards she had?" Yugi asks.
"That is what she told Seto Kaiba. Lady Isis feared that if Seto Kaiba knew of the Saint Dragon, the greed of power would over take him. It will take much more than just a good fighter the lay down the mighty God of Obelisk." Shadi says. "The world's safety hangs with this tournament."
"Then I will enter Battle City." Yugi says as he takes the card.
"Yugi ..." Yami begins
"Yami we must enter." Yugi says.
Yami nods, then turns to Shadi as he says, "You said we must truly learn how to play Duel Monsters. How do we do this?"
"Look to the Thousand Brick Puzzle." Shadi says as he begins to disappear. "Good luck my Pharoah."
As Shadi disappears, the shop's telephone begins to ring. Yugi then answers.
"Kame-Game ... Huh? Mokuba? WHAT?!? Joey entered Battle City?"
Two blocks away, Joey stands over two bloody gang members as a little kid runs off thanking him.
"Gangbusting is the best training I get before Battle City." Joey says.
In the shadows a third gang member calls his leader on a cell phone.
"Yea boss I'm sure. Joey from the Wild Gang. I dunno ... maybe the Wild Gang got back together. Yea, I know. We'll take care of him. Nobody messes with the Dark Scorpions."
