"*PANT PANT PANT!!!*" Yami Bakura hauled ass to the Pier after spending WAY too much time reliving his glorious past... no, he had a special task at hand! If he was gonna restore that past once more, he'd have to cooperate! Sure, he doesnt trust that enhanted whore much.. but he reminds her of someone...

Anyway, after a bit of running, he finally reaches the Pier where he is greeted by the Masked Duelist with the Millenium necklace, Rod, and Eye in her possession as well as 5 Rare Hunters in black cloaks.

"Hiya, Ya-Ba!" the She-Death (obviously the first Rare Hunter) greeted him.
"Will you stop calling me that?!!" he glared at her.
The Masked Duelist just stared at him with those eerie red eyes of hers, "...You are late."

"I had to take care of an assassin," Ya-Ba told her. "It's sickening," she replied, "to see how far the heretics will go just to prevent the inevitable." She then starts to preach to her 5 Hunters: "My Indomitable Rare Hunters... our time has come. Our time to eradicate the weak creatures and feed the strong... The Divine Sucron sends you his blessings.."

"Charon" The lady Death, "Freya" the carefree dark skinned woman with white hair and red stars on her face (Hild), "Uranus" the long black haired man with black pupils and scar across his face with a tequila bottle in his hand (Sunaru), "Loki" The lecherous short black haired guy with a tiny ponytail carrying a strange golden staff and robe wrappings covering his palm ('Frank'... I aint saying that pervert's real name!) "And of course, Zopher" the darkened face under that dark hood revealing nothing but his pupiless eyes... (Xaru'Thamo ....WHAT DO YOU MEAN 'WHO THE HELL IS HE'?!!!)
"Defeat those shall oppose you and devour those can nourish you. The Chosen Ones must fall!"

"Uh, speaking of!" Ya-Ba interrupts, "Dont they have special cards? I know rich-boy has the Finger Card.. and what about the others?! They might prove to be a threat!"
The Masked woman just grinned underneith the mask, "Heh.. it will not be that easy for them. Each card has a price. Kaiba will not play his card because he's too arrogant with monsters that have no stats. Mai wont use hers because.. well.. I dont believe her sphincter has a high threshold of pain! And the Pharoh... he CANT use that card... which might result in heavy conflict between the Spirit and Host..."

---Meanwhile, with Yugi and pals---
It wont be long before the tournament finally starts. As Yugi, Tea, Tristan, and Joey look for a place to eat until then, Yugi has a mental conversation with his super special awesome pal, Yami..

"..And then the next thing I knew, that creepy turned into a fuzzy pink bunny and ran away with his fluffy tail between his legs! It was SO cool!"
...Youre kidding.
"Im not! I even got the 'Suck it, bitch' card to prove it! I'll show you!" Yugi pulled out his deck, looked through his cards, and showed the ghostly spirit the Special card...
"See? Here it is!" Unfortunately, Yami cant see the image... or the writing...
What the hell is this? It's just a blank card. What are you trying to pull?
"What? This aint blank! It's the actual card! I swear!" The Pharoh doesnt believe...
It's ok... I believe you.. I had a chat with the mayor of Munchkin Land while me and Elvis were waiting for the next bus headed for Funkytown to arrive...

Yugi just shrugged, "..You know what? I dont need to prove anything to you! You didnt even bother to help me with that creepy kid that threatened my life!"
Oh excuse ME! I guess it's my fault I got a little tired after saving your tiny butt from that man-eating sorceress!!
Although they didnt realize it... their friendship was being jeopardized. The bond between them was severing. The fate of the world rests on their spiritual connection that the Chosen One and the Pharoh share. And if the bond is cut.... mankind will be the one that suffers!

"Hey, uh Yugi?" Tristan notices Yugi's little outbursts, "You ok?"

"Yeah Im fine," Yugi replied, "Yami's just being a dick..."
You've got a lot of nerve, you representative of the Lollipop Guild!!!
