Into The World Of Yu-Gi-Oh [Book 1]

Episode 3: Journey to the Duelist Kingdom

Standing in line with a backpack over her shoulder was Icarus, waiting to get on the boat. Having large blue glasses, a dark hoodie with the Kaiba corp logo on the left side. A black dress underneath, and long black boots. With a mask over her face.

With the dueling glove on her left hand, she stood in the front of the line showing her star chips to the guard which allowed her entry to the ship.

While getting on she looked to the cargo hold, seeing Tèa and Tristan seeking on. Which they quickly ducked to avoid Icarus's gaze. Smirking to herself Icarus walked off after their attempt of being 'quiet'.

A few hours ago Joey got a video from his sister Serenity, where she tells him she is running out of time.

Yugi gets an invitation from Pegasus to a tournament on the island of Duelist Kingdom. Joey gets excited at the prospect of winning $3,000,000 as part of the tournament prize. Yugi and Joey reminisce about how they became friends after Yugi stood up against a bully for Joey, even though Joey bullied Yugi himself.

When the ship for the Duelist Kingdom is about to leave, Yugi finds Joey had been trying to sneak on board. Yugi gives Joey a star chip so he can enter the tournament. Téa and Tristan successfully sneak on board inside the ship's cargo but did get caught by Icarus.

Icarus walked around till she meets Mai Valentine.
"Oh, what a cute outfit you have" Mai complemented, Icarus smiled
"Thank you, and I love your hair" she replied back.
This went on for a while and Mai was so nice in her own way. Icarus and Mai got along really well. Was they were walking Mia saw Yugi and Joey.

Talking for while everyone got to know each other...sorta.
"That's right, I never got your name" Mai turned to look at the hooded duelist. Joey and Yugi looked at Icarus too, they couldn't recognize her which was good.
"Just call me the hooded duelist...for now that is" Icarus turned her back on them, pretended to be annoyed.

After some time Mai, who insults Joey and arrogantly claims that she will defeat everyone in the tournament. Walked off to her room with the hooded duelist hot on her tail.

"Hey, Yugi that girl in the hood. Does she seem familiar to you" joey asked?
Yugi nodded "yeah, and did you see that Kaiba corp logo...who do you think she is?" Wondered Yugi

With the two stowaways while being cold and trying to stay hidden
Téa spots Bakura Ryou from their school and wonders what he is doing there.

Mai who is displeased with her room was throwing a fuse and wanted a better one. While arguing with the guard and the hooded due list holding on to one of Mai's arm, restrained her from hitting the man but being careful not to hurt Mai in the process. Just then Rex Raptor comes along and invites Mai to his room with Icarus tagging along...much to his disliking.

While sitting on the couch of Rex's room, Mai was sizing it up and came up with a way to take his room. She challenges Rex to a duel and if he wins he gets a kiss from her, but if she wins then she gets the room.
Smirking the hooded duelist leans back and watched the duel, not saying a word

Back to Joey and Yugi, Joey was trading around and got a few new cards like a baby dragon, kunai with chain, and a few others. That's when weevil comes around and explains to Yugi that the duelist kingdom has special rules.

As for Mai and the Hooded Duelist, Mai won the duel and literally kicks Rex Raptor out of his room into which the hooded duelist finally spoke and apologized to Rex before shutting the door.

Mai laughed and relaxed on the bed, enjoying her victory "see hoodie, that's how you get an upgrade" she smiled.

Picking up one of her card the hooded duelist got a wafted of perfume coming from the card "I admit Mai, I'm extremely impressed"

Mai sat up and pales when she was Icarus holding her cards "I mean, you have forty cards and each one has a different perfume...and to know which smell is which card. It's amazing" smiled the hooded duelist. Mai sighed "so your not going to call me out on that trick," she asked. Icarus shook her head no "why would I, it's the perfect way to make sure you win"

Mai smiled and explained to Icarus how she came up with the idea and practice to know which smell is which card.

Back to Yugi, Weevil Underwood tricks Yugi into letting him see his Exodia cards and chucks the cards overboard and Joey jumps in the water after them. Yugi jumps in to help Joey when he struggles to keep swimming just then Téa and Tristan appears and Téa throws a rope ladder for them both.

Joey is upset that he wasn't able to find Yugi's cards. He talks about Serenity who is going blind and the tournament prize money would pay for an operation to fix her eyesight.

After that, the 4 main characters stood in front of the boat with the sun coming up and duelist island right in front of them.
