Outside of the KaibaCorp building, an ambulance pulls up and Tea, Joey, Rarity, Pinkie, Spike, and Tristan rush Solomon out to it.
“Joey, Tristan, the others, and I will take Yugi's grandpa to the hospital. Why don't you get back in there and cheer Yugi on?” Tea suggested.
“I’ll go with him too. I want to make sure that Dashie and Yugi are cheered on and supported,” Pinkie Pie said.
“Uh…Okay, take good care of him, Téa,” Joey agreed as he and Pinkie ran into the building.
—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inside of the Duel arena…
"Welcome. I take it that by now, you've heard of my company's new Duel Disk system, right? If not, get used to them. Because we'll be Dueling with them," Kaiba said in a faux nice way.
"Yeah, yeah! So, tell me what we need to know before we beat you at this game!" Rainbow challenged.
"It's simple. You put the cards on the disk's select spots and the cards will appear in real life. Do you need to know any more for today's lesson?" Kaiba mocked.
“Does that mean the monsters will become real? If so, that would be awesome!” Rainbow cheered before remembering who she was talking to. “But…that doesn’t change the fact that we’re gonna make you pay!” Rainbow yelled.
“Sure you will. And, yes. This experimental Dueling system will allow for the game to summon the cards as actual virtual monsters. The next major tournament will even make use of these disks. Oh, and how about we make things even more interesting…by making the duel be broadcast worldwide!” Kaiba suggested.
“Uh…s-sure! We’ll make sure you get what you deserve when you broadcast your own defeat for all to see!” Rainbow yelled, feeling a little nervous even though she wouldn’t admit it.
“Yeah right. We each begin with four thousand life points, the first side to hit zero loses. Are you ready to play, runt?” Kaiba asks rudely.
“Hey, Kaiba, you’re a massive jerk who’s gonna get served!” Rainbow called out, though Seto ignored her.
Suddenly, Yugi’s Millenium Puzzle glows and, in an instant, Yugi appears to grow a few feet. “Alright, Kaiba! It’s time to duel! You may think you have the advantage, but I’ll see to it that you learn to respect your cards!”
“What the-?” Kaiba is confused at the change in size and voice of Yugi, but ultimately chooses to ignore it. “Go ahead and use your cheap tricks to psyche me out. They won’t save you from my three Blue-Eye’s wrath. You two go on your side. I’ll go to mine,” Kaiba said as all three Duelists went to their respective sides of the field, disks now placed on their arms. “Now…let’s Duel! I’ll start off by summoning my X-Head Cannon in Attack Mode(1800 Attack)! Also, I’ll end my turn by placing a single card facedown. Make you move now, Yugi. And…I’ll let you attack on your first turn. So, go ahead and see if you can deal with my defenses.”
“You’ll soon be seeing that you’re gonna be eating those words, Kaiba! I draw! And…I summon my Breaker the Magical Warrior in Attack Mode(1600 Attack)!” Yugi played.
“So…you decided to play a weaker card against my superior monster then? Well…looks like you really are pathetic,” Kaiba mocked.
“You’ll soon regret that, Kaiba. When Breaker is summoned, he gains a Spell Counter and with it 300 extra Attack Points(1900 Attack)!” Yugi played.
“Perfect, Yugi! Now we can show him our skills and knock Kaiba out of this Duel!” Rainbow cheered.
“Now that my monster is stronger, Breaker! Attack Kaiba’s X-Head Cannon!” Yugi cried out as his warrior began to slice at X-Head Cannon, while Kaiba looked unconcerned.
“I play my facedown card Negate Attack! Now, your attack is negated and the battle phase ends! Better luck next Duel. Oh wait! There won’t be a next Duel!” Kaiba mocked with a laugh.
“Grr! You’ll soon pay, Kaiba! So, you got in a lucky move! Big whoop! We’ll be turning things around soon enough!” Rainbow yelled.
“Please! Yugi’s monster could have given up its Spell counter to get rid of a Spell or Trap card on the field. Yugi here could have stopped the Negate Attack. But…that wouldn’t have mattered because then his monster would have been weaker!” Kaiba mocked.
“Is this true, Yugi?” Rainbow asked.
“Yes, it is. But my move isn’t over yet!” I play a facedown and end my turn. It’s your move, Kaiba,” Yugi ended his move.
“Very good. Now it’s my move again! And watch out because I now summon my Y-Dragon Head to the field (1500 Attack)!” Kaiba summoned.
“So…he summoned a machine that’s weaker than Yugi’s warrior? I don’t get it,” Rainbow noted.
“Of course you don’t, scrubs. See, Y-Dragon Head is a Union monster, meaning I can equip him to my X-Head Cannon as an Equip Spell and increase my monster’s power by 400 points. So…for those uneducated fools, my monster’s power is now 2200 (2200 Attack)! Now, attack and destroy Yugi’s Breaker the Magical Warrior (Yugi and Rainbow-3700 LP)! And now…I think I’ll end my turn with a facedown. Your move,” Kaiba ended his move. 
“And it’ll be a great one! I draw! I’ll play the spell card Graceful Charity! With it, I can discard three cards in exchange for two from my hand! I’ll discard these weaker cards in Damage Reduction and Fortress Warrior and then I’ll play a new spell card. Mystical Space Typhoon! With it, I’ll destroy your Y-Dragon Head! So much for your monster’s attack boost! (1800 Attack)” Rainbow played, believing she had secured her and Yugi an advantage. However, unbeknownst to her, she hadn’t changed things much for the group.
At this point, Joey and Pinkie Pie had made it to the arena to watch the Duel.
“Alright! We made it! We can see how our pals are doin’,” Joey said as he looked at the current results. “This doesn’t look too good so far! Yuge and Dash are fighting’ from behind!”
“Hey! I bet they’re just waiting to make a comeback! And that comeback will be huge!” Pinkie Pie said.
“You have a point. Still, they betta make it soon,” Joey warned.
 “Now, I’ll summon my Speed Warrior in Attack mode(900 Attack)! I wish I had a better move to make, but this monster will have to do,” Rainbow noted.
“You could have done better! You idiotically played a weaker card in Attack mode! You seem to have forgotten that Defense mode is a thing! If your monster was in Defense mode, you wouldn’t have taken any damage! You really are the worst at this game!” Kaiba smirked.
“Hey! I’m new to this game! Cut me some slack! Great! What can I do now? My only monster is in Attack…mode. Wait! I remember! I’ll have my Speed Warrior attack your X-Head Cannon!” Rainbow attacked.
“What?! With only a monsta with 900 Attack points?!” Joey was shocked.
“I agree with the dweeb. My monster has double the points right now!” Kaiba reminded. “Then again, that pathetic move was likely the best you had!”
“That’s what you think! I play the effect of Speed Warrior! With it, I can double his points during the battle on his summoning turn! Take out X-Head Cannon Speed Warrior with Hyder Sonic Slash (1800 Attack)!” Rainbow cried out.
“II hope you enjoyed wasting our time. I play my trap Union Trapshoot! With it, I can prevent a monster that I control from being destroyed this turn! Not only that, it lets me revive my Y-Dragon Head after the battle!” Kaiba gloated as Speed Warrior was destroyed by the attack but X-Head Cannon stayed on the field.
“Grr! This jerk is keeps on countering every move we make! How are we supposed to beat him at this rate?!” Rainbow demanded.
“You can’t! I’m a pro versus some pathetic dogs! So, can you end your move so that I can achieve victory?” Kaiba said.
“N-No! We’re not gonna lose! I pay the spell card One for One! Now, according to this card, by sending my Quillbolt Hedgehog to the Graveyard, I can Special Summon a Level One monster from my hand or Deck. I Special Summon my Sonic Chick on the Defensive(300 Attack)!” Rainbow played, unfortunately summoning her card in Attack mode. 
“Um…Rainbow Dash?” Yugi tried to warn.
“Yes? That’s my name,” Rainbow said.
“You do realize that to summon a monster in Defense mode you place it sideways, not vertically?” Joey pointed out.
“Yes? And?” Rainbow asked.
“I think they’re trying to say you summoned a monster in Attack mode by accident,” Pinkie Pie said.
“Oh…OH NO!” Rainbow freaked out. 
“Maybe check with us before ya make a move next time!” Joey yelled.
“Uh…didn’t Tristan say you made a move like that before though?” Pinkie asked innocently as Joey fell over.
“It was an honest mistake, Rainbow. Just stay strong,” Yugi consoled.
“Grrr….! Hey! You tricked me, Kaiba!” Rainbow accused.
“No, I didn’t! You made that blunder all on your own! You’re a pathetic excuse of a Duelist, Skittles!” Kaiba mocked. “So, any final moves before you lose?”
“I-I’ll then play two facedowns and end my turn. Make your move, Kaiba!” Rainbow yelled.
“Perfect! Now, it’s my move again! Now, I could win this Duel by attacking now…But I think I’ll let you suffer a little longer. I summon Z-Metal Tank(1500 Attack)! So, ready to say your goodbyes? I’ll remove all three of these cards from play. I Fusion Summon! XYZ Dragon Cannon(2800 Attack)! I’ve brought out one of my favorite cards, which also happens to be one of my best. Now, attack that Sonic Chick! Anything else before I stomp your little baby bird into paste?” Kaiba asked.
“Just this. Sonic Chick can’t be destroyed by a monster with 1900 or more attack points! So, your attack will not destroy my card!” Rainbow played.
“Hmph! But you’ll still take damage (Yugi and Rainbow-1200 LP)!” Kaiba pointed out. “Now, I think I’ll get rid of your final defense! I play the effect of my cannon! I can discard a card to blast a card you control out of the Duel! And I choose…Sonic Chick! Cannon Firestorm!” Sonic Chick tried to flee before she was burned by a blazing shot from Dragon Cannon. “And now…I’ll play the monster effect I just discarded. By banishing my Dragon Bolt (Dragon/Wind/Level 2/1000 Attack/800 Defense/A yellow dragon shaped like a lightning bolt), I can draw a card for each banished monster I have other than itself. I have three so I’ll draw three! And now, I play a facedown and end my turn.”
“Very well…It’s my move!” Yugi drew his card. ‘I only have one chance to turn this Duel around. Here goes everything!’ “I play the spell card Dark Magic Veil! With it, I can pay 1000 Life Points in order to special summon Dark Magician Girl from my hand (2000 Attack/Yugi and Rainbow-200 LP)! Next, I’ll play my facedown Dark Burning Attack! With this spell, I can destroy all face-up monsters you control, Kaiba! Now…attack Kaiba directly! Dark Burning Attack (Kaiba-2000 LP)!” Kaiba didn’t flinch in regards to the attack.
“Seriously? You’re really not fazed by even that? You just lost a powerful monster and half your Life Points!” Rainbow reminded.
“Sure…I’ll admit you did deal me damage…but you’re about to lose. So…go ahead and end your turn now! I’ll end you both soon enough!” Kaiba challenged.
“Go ahead and end the turn, Yugi! We can handle anything he throws our way!” Rainbow took the bait.
“I end my turn. It’s your move, Kaiba,” Yugi ended his turn.
“Oh, it is! And so is the end of this Duel! I play the spell card Ancient Rules! With it, I can now Special Summon a monster that is Level 5 or higher from my hand! So now, join us and help me win this Duel! Come forth! Blue Eyes White Dragon(3000 Attack)!” Kaiba played his ace monster, who roared loudly.
“He got out a Blue Eyes that easily?!” Joey was shocked.
“Uh huh! He did! Do you think that it is because he messed with the rules?” Pinkie Pie asked.
“No, I didn’t! I’m just far more skilled than either of these pathetic excuses for Duelists.This Duel is over!” Kaiba cried out.
“Grr…No i-it can’t be over yet! T-There must be something we can do!” Rainbow tried to think of a possible move to make.
“There is no move you can make! Blue Eyes White Dragon, attack Yugi’s Dark Magician Girl! White Lightning!” Kaiba cried out.
“Do you have any moves to make, Rainbow?” Yugi asked. 
“Yeah! Maybe you can turn this Duel around with one of them!” Pinkie Pie suggested.
“I-I don’t…I…,” Rainbow tried to think of a move to make. 
“You don’t have any, obviously. Just give up and lose!” Kaiba yelled.
“Wait! I play the effect of Damage Reduction in my graveyard! By banishing this trap from my Graveyard, I can reduce the battle damage to zero!” Rainbow played as Dark Magician Girl was destroyed but their Life Points were safe.
“You bought yourselves another turn. That’s all you got! I end my turn with a facedown. Just face it. You both are going to lose, regardless of what move you make. But…I suppose I can be merciful. If you want, you can surrender now. If you do, I may spare one of your cards,” Kaiba suggested.
“We aren’t going to-,” Yugi began…only for Rainbow to interrupt.
“Who are we kidding, Yugi? I was foolish to believe I could actually stand a chance against a pro like him, especially so soon after I just picked up the game. Let’s just give up. You can keep your cards, while a loser like me will never pick up this cool game again. Serves me right for thinking I could ever be a worthy Duelist and friend for you guys…,” Rainbow sadly said, her confidence gone.
“Is everything alright with her? I think this is the first time I’ve ever seen Rainbow Dash sad,” Joey noted.
“I heard Fluttershy once claim that Rainbow Dash can be ince-infe…,” Pinkie Pie tried to think of the right word.
“Insecure?” Joey asked.
“Yeah! Insecure whenever her ego is fully popped, though she told me to never tell anyone else…darn it!” Pinkie Pie yelled as she realized she broke one of her golden rules.
“It’s…almost like lookin’ in a mirror…,” Joey said to himself.
“What mirror?” Pinkie asked.
“Is that so?” Yugi said as he heard what Pinkie said. “Rainbow…I understand your fears. Entering a new game without experience can be daunting. But…it’s never too late to learn and improve. You’ve made some excellent moves in this Duel so far. In fact, we still wouldn’t be standing if it weren’t for you. Now…let’s keep going!” Yugi yelled out.
“But…but…we only have 200 Life Points and no monsters! And I have an empty hand!” Rainbow reminded.
“True. But giving up on this Duel, like with anything, won’t be much better. After all, the Duel isn’t over until the last card is played,” Yugi consoled.
A few seconds later, Rainbow gave a warm smile. “Thanks for that, Yugi. You really helped. And…You’re right. This Duel isn’t over yet! Kaiba, we refuse to surrender! My turn! I draw! Now, I’ll play the Tuner Monster Junk Synchron(2300 Attack)! And when this monster is successfully summoned, I can bring back out a Level 2 or lower monster from my Graveyard! So, rise Speed Warrior in Defense mode(400 Defense)! Next, I’ll do the move you showed me Yugi! I play the effect of Quillbolt Hedgehog in order to revive him in Defense mode (800 Defense)! The one drawback is that he gets banished when he leaves the field. Now I’ll tune my Junk Synchron with my Quillbolt Hedgehog in order to Synchro Summon!The seemingly useless pile of junk merges to form an awesome fighter that no one can best. Junk Warrior(2300 Attack)!”
“Congratulations. You managed to summon a monster with less Attack points than my dragon. So…you managed to waste everyone else’s time even more!” Kaiba jeered.
“Not really! I now activate the effect of my Junk Warrior! While he’s face-up on the field, he gains the power of all faceup Level 2 or lower monsters on the field! The Bonds of Fellowship (3200 Attack)! I bet you didn’t see this coming! Now, attack that Blue-Eyes with Scrap Fist (Kaiba-1800 LP)! I’ll end my turn there. So, are you impressed with the move I just made?” Rainbow asked.
“I’m afraid not. I play my facedown card Call of the Haunted! With this trap, I can revive a monster from my Graveyard! So, rise on up once more! Blue-Eyes White Dragon (3000 Attack)!” Kaiba resummoned his ace.
“Seriously?! You managed to bring back out your dragon like it was nothing! H-How?!” Rainbow demanded.
“Simple. I’m just more skilled than you are. It’s now my turn. I draw! And I play the spell Pot of Greed! This spell allows for me to draw two cards! And now…I play the spell card White Dragon Ritual! With it, I can sacrifice monsters in my hand or on the field in order to perform a Ritual summon! So…I’ll sacrifice my Vorse Raider in order to perform a Ritual Summon! Now, rise Paladin of White Dragon(1900 Attack)!” Kaiba summoned.
“Really? You gave up a monster that wasn’t any stronger than one you already had in your hand?” Rainbow asked.
“It must have a dangerous effect to make up for it,” Yugi realized.
“Correct you are, Yugi! By sacrificing my Paladin, I can special summon a Blue-Eyes White Dragon in exchange for giving up the ability of that Blue-Eyes attacking for the rest of this turn! It will spear your Speed Warrior in a moment. But first…I activate my trump card Blue-Retrieval! Now I can look at the top four cards of my deck and if a Blue-Eyes is there…I can summon it! I now look at the top four cards,” Kaiba explained as he saw that they were Magical Trick Mirror, Des Feral Imp, Shrink, and Blue-Eyes White. “Perfect! I summon on out my second Blue-Eyes(3000 Attack)! And now…I attack Speed Warrior with my Paladin! Ionic Spear Burst!” The Warrior was speared and destroyed by the rider’s spear. “And…since you no longer have a monster out that Level 2 or below…your Warrior loses 900 points(2300 Attack).”
“Oh no! Now his two dragons can finish us off!” Rainbow groaned.
“Correction. I’ll only need one! Blue-Eyes, destroy that Warrior with White Lightning!” Kaiba cried out.
“No! Not after all we did!” Rainbow yelled.
“Don’t forget, Rainbow. You have two facedowns. Can they be of help right now?” Yugi reminded.
“Two facedowns…? Of course!” Rainbow realized.
“Ya tellin’ me you forgot about them?!” Joey yelled out.
“Give me a break! It’s my first Duel! I play the effect of my trap card Defense Draw! With it, I can reduce the damage we take to zero and then…we get to draw a card! Yugi, draw your card!” Rainbow commanded.
“Uh…you’re the one that gets to draw, Rainbow,” Pinkie Pie pointed out.
“Oh…right!” Rainbow blushed. “I draw a card!”
“Go ahead and draw your pathetic card, Skittles! I get one more attack! Blue-Eyes, attack them directly!” Kaiba cried out.
“I play my facedown card Booby Trap F! With it, I can activate the effect of a trap in the graveyard! So…I play my Defense Draw! Once more, we take no damage and I get to draw a card! Finally, I play the other effect of Booby Trap F! I can now select up to two cards in my hand and place them in other player’s hand! I use my effect to place Dark Magician Girl and Card of Sanctity in Yugi’s hand! It’s all up to you now!” Rainbow played.
“Thanks. I won’t let you down!” Yugi said. “Are you going to end your move now, Kaiba?”
“Just about. I play the effect of my Paladin. Now…I’ll sacrifice him in order to summon out my third and final Blue-Eyes (3000 Attack)! And with that, I end my turn. So, what now? You’re down to 200 Life Points and I have my three Blue-Eyes out on the field. Next turn, I can attack directly with at least one of them and win the Duel!” Kaiba reminded. “So…go ahead and draw your final pathetic card, Yugi! Your grandfather’s cards are as pathetic as the two of you are!”
“We aren’t pathetic! Yugi and I still have a chance to win!” Rainbow yelled.
“Rainbow is right. We and our cards aren’t pathetic…as you’re about to see right now! I draw!” Yugi cried out as he drew a card. At this moment, Yugi’s puzzle began to glow…and all four of the monsters in his hand, including the Dark Magician he just drew, now were partly green and had scales. “What the…?”
“Wha-? What kind of magic trick are you pulling, Yugi?” Kaiba demanded.
“Yugi! Is everything okay?” Joey asked.
“I-I don’t…,” Yugi was confused.
“What do ya think is happenin’, Pinks?” Joey asked as he looked over to her and saw that her cards were also glowing and so were her eyes. “Uh…, you okay Pinks?”
“By using my Stargazer and Timegazer Magician…,” Pinkie Pie began. 
“I’ll use Scale 2 Buster Blader and Scale 8 Kuriboh in order to set the Pendulum Scale! I’ll be showing off the Heart of the Cards starting now!” Yugi cried out.
“We’re going to be having a fine time starting now!” Pinkie Pie yelled out.
“Witness the power of my monsters, as they enter the action! Pendulum Summon! Go, Dark Pendulum Magician(2500 Attack/Scale 3) and Dark Magician Pendulum Girl(2000 Attack/Scale 5)!” Yugi said with a serious expression.
“Wait a second. What is a Pendulum Summon? Where did it come from?” Joey wondered.
“I don’t know…but it may be just the advantage we were looking for! Right, Pinks?” Rainbow said with a smile.
“I Pendulum Summon my Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!” Pinkie yelled out as a massive red dragon with jewels on his body briefly appeared for a second.
“And…this is still getting weirder and weirder,” Rainbow said.
“I don’t care where they came from! All I know is that either way, you are going to lose, Yugi!” Kaiba cried out.
“We’ll see! I play my Buster Blader’s Pendulum Effect! With it, I can raise the power of my Dark Pendulum Magician by that of another monster on my field until the End Phase. So, Dark Pendulum Magician gains the attack power of Dark Magician Pendulum Girl! Not only that, but he can attack all monsters you control once each. In exchange, no other monsters can attack. (4500 Attack) Now, Dark Pendulum Magician, Attack with Dark Magic Attack!” Yugi cried out as Dark Pendulum Magician sent out a magic burst towards the first Blue-Eyes!
“I activate my Blue-Retrieval’s effect from my Graveyard! With it, I can negate your attack and end the battle by banishing it!” Kaiba countered.
“Nice try, Kaiba…but it won’t work. My Kuriboh’s Pendulum Effect can negate the effect of a Spell or Trap that is used in battle!” Yugi countered back.
“Not happening! Blue-Retrieval can’t be negated by other card’s effects!” Kaiba revealed.
“Oh no!” Yugi realized.
“This may be bad! Yugi’s attack was blocked!” Rainbow noted. “But…he still has card of Sanctity!”
“Of course! I play the spell card Card of Sanctity! With it, we all get to draw until we have six cards in our hands!” Yugi played as all three Duelists drew six cards.
“So, you gave us all more cards to work with? Fine by me. I just get more ways to eliminate you on my next turn,” Kaiba smirked.
“I’m afraid, Kaiba, that there won’t be a next turn!” Yugi yelled as Kaiba looked confused…until Yugi showed his hand; it contained all five pieces of Exodia in it. “I play the power of the legendary Exodia!” Yugi yelled out.
“W-What?! No! That’s not possible! In all the years this game has existed, no one has successfully summoned Exodia before, especially in one draw!” Kaiba yelled in horror.
“I’m afraid that this is the first!” Yugi yelled.
“So…wait? Is Exodia a good thing?” Rainbow asked.
“Got me. I’m still as new as you are,” Joey said.
“To put it simply, Exodia is the most powerful card there is. If a player can get all five cards in hand, they win the Duel,” Yugi explained.
“N-No! I can’t lose!” Kaiba yelled.
“Well, looks like you just did!” Rainbow yelled.
“Correct! Now, Exodia, obliterate!” Yugi yelled as Exodia appeared on the field and threw an energy blast that proceeded to destroy all three Blue-Eyes and reduce Kaiba’s points to zero.
“How can this be? I had my three Blue Eyes White Dragons and a bunch of other powerful cards. I couldn’t have lost!” Kaiba yelled out.
“Kaiba, you don’t understand that dueling for power alone won’t get you far. I won because I had the Heart of the Cards and the love of my friends on my side. Maybe this duel will open your mind. Mind Crush!” ‘Yugi’ cried out. In an instant, Kaiba fell to the floor unconscious.
“Well…so much for that apology. But…at least we won! Woohoo!” Rainbow cheered as she jumped down from her Dueling platform.
At this point, Pinkie’s eyes stopped glowing and she returned to normal. “Wha…? What did I miss?” Pinkie asked.
“What did ya miss? Yer kiddin’ me right? You don’t remember Yuge and you summonin’ new monstas with cards ya didn’t have before?” Joey asked.
“Uh…nope!” Pinkie Pie shook her head.
“Pinkie Pie…you are so random,” Rainbow shook her head before she was suddenly hugged by Pinkie, causing her to blush. “Uh…thanks?”
Meanwhile, Yugi had just gotten down and was no longer larger and sounding different. “You know, Rainbow? You did pretty well for your first Duel. You should be proud,” Yugi said.
“Aw, it was nothing! You’re the one who won us that match. What with Exodia and that sweet Pendulum Summoning you pulled!” Rainbow said somewhat humbly.
“Wow! You were just modest, Rainbow!” Pinkie cheered.
“So…please tell us where ya learned ta do that, Yuge!” Joey said.
“Yeah! That move was so awesome!” Rainbow cheered.
“Uh…I don’t know myself…My puzzle just glowed and I was suddenly able to do it! Maybe the spirit knows, though…,” Yugi said.
“Well, regardless, I’d say we earned a victory party!” Pinkie cheered.
“Let’s not celebrate just yet. We still need ta check in on Yuge’s grandpa!” Joey reminded.
“Joey’s right! Hopefully he’s doing better. And…maybe Kaiba has learned his lesson,” Yugi gave a quick look over to Kaiba before the group left.
—---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, back at Pegasus’s castle…
“Whoa! That Yugi kid was strong! He managed to beat down Kaiba off all people!” A young brown haired eight year old kid yelled from in front of a T.V. in her room.
“I know, right? He not only brought out a buncha monsters at once, he managed to bring out Exodia! I thought he was just a myth before now!” A green-haired kid agreed.
“Don’t forget that one girl! She was able to Synchro Summon a cool monster!” The first kid gushed.
“Kaiba still put up a good fight, though. I was pretty sure he’d win for a moment when he had out all three Blue-Eyes!” The second kid cheered.
“Daddy! What do you think of that Duel?” The first kid asked.
“Kaiba lost and some other kid and his girlfriend managed to pull an upset? Interesting…perhaps they’re worth inviting to Duelist Kingdom after all. And…maybe that other girl too… Jaden, Jesse?” Pegasus asked his adopted kids, intrigued.
“Yes, daddy? Both kids asked.
“Looks like we’ll have some new guests coming over to our home soon…,” Pegasus grinned, thinking up many new plans to prepare for when the tournament will start.
