Yugioh: Season 1

Best of Friends, Best of Duelists Part II

As it continued to rain and pour outside of Pegasus' castle, the duel between Joey and Yugi went on. Pegasus cackled as he watches.

"What a lovely day this is for a duel, especially on an occasion such as this, when 2 old friends are battling it out to the very end." said Pegasus. "Its challenges like this that puts to the test the ties that bind us. It doesn't matter to me who wins or loses. Because in the end, I know that it is I who shall emerge victorious and you, young Yugi, who shall be vanquished."

"The game is really too close." said Tea.

"Yeah. They're both playing at the top of their form." said Tristan. "I mean, either one could win."

"You're right. I don't think I've ever seen such an exciting duel." said Bakura. "And who would've thought that, at this point, Joey would have more life points left than Yugi. Truly extraordinary."

"Not me, that's for sure. I wish that grandpa was here to see this." said Paige. "He would be proud of Joey and Yugi."

"Right." said Tea as Yami drew his next card.

"Hmm." Yami said to himself.

"Go ahead and toss it, Yuge." said Joey. "It won't surprise me. I know your cards by heart."

"True. You'll also know it's my favorite." said Yami, then lays out the Dark Magician. "And it's one of my most powerful cards. Dark Magician! Attack Mode!"

"Figures. You always count on the Dark Magician when you're in a tight spot. But not this time!" said Joey. "Even he's no match for my Skull Dragon."

"Are you sure?" questioned Yami.

"In a duel, the monster with the lowest attack strength loses." answered Joey. "That's one of the first lessons you and Paige ever taught me about Duel Monsters, Yugi. Your past has come back to haunt you!"

"Let's see who spooks whom." said Yami. "Don't forget, Paige and I also taught you how to protect your weaker monsters by enhancing them with Magic cards."

"Eh?" said Joey, shocked that he forgot about this. "Don't tell me!"

"Idiot!" said Paige as the others shook their heads.

"You know what's coming." said Yami, placing a magic card down. "Magical Hats, protect and conceal the Dark Magician!"

A magician's hat with a question mark appeared on the field, covers the Dark Magician before spreading out into four places. "Ugh. I usually like this trick." grumbled Joey.

"Good move." said Tea.

"Smart thinking, Yugi." said Paige.

"That'll sure to slow Joey down big time." said Tristan.

"Heh heh heh. My hat's off to you, Yugi-boy." thought Pegasus.

"It's your pick, Joey." said Yami. "So tell me, which hat do you think is hiding the Dark Magician?"

"Ugh." Joey groaned at this, trying to figure out where Yami hide the Dark Magician.

"I was hoping to end this duel before he drew the Magical Hats." thought Joey. "Now I gotta depend on luck, not dueling skill, to help me find his Dark Magician."

"Come on, pick a hat." taunted Yami, causing Joey to growl.

"Ok. I guess I just gotta take 'em down one at a time!" Joey cried out. "Attack! Molten Fireballs!"

Skull Dragon aims for one of the hats, destroying it. "One down!" said Joey as Yami covers his eyes from the smoke and chuckles.

"From the looks of things, you picked wrong." said Yami, as the hat Joey destroyed didn't contained the Dark Magician. "That leaves 3."
