Some of the cards in this game are made up so don't expect to see actual names.  If you want more on The Legend, just click on my author name and read the stories talking about The Legend.  Oh yeah, some events in this story don't coincide with the show, but that's why it's fiction.  Yami=Confident Yugi after transformation from Millennium Object.

My name is The Legend and I am a Mewn. Several thousand years ago I was once a Mew living in peace with my master and his people the pokemopolitans. However the pokemopolitans turned on my species and slaughtered them for their fur. I evolved after my master's death at their hands and obliterated their civilization. I also vowed to avenge all Mew that had been killed. I now roam the Earth looking like a human and I call myself The Legend. I stop genetic experiments that take place on pokemon and continue to eradicate the descendants of the pokemopolitans who escaped my wrath the first time around. This is my story.

Forest outside of Olivine City: The Legend was looking through a deck of cards as a kid tried to sell them to him.

"Let me get this straight.  You're going to charge me fifty bucks for this moderately thick deck of assorted trading cards and this device that reads the cards and tells you what they are and what they do?  I don't know," said The Legend.  The Legend's money was on a table that he and the person were sitting at.  The Legend flipped through the cards once more.  On the cards were pictures of almost everything from strange monsters, to X-Wing starfighters, to the federation starship U.S.S. Enterprise, and many others that he didn't know what they were showing.

"I just don't know.  Clearly these cards don't belong to a single deck and I don't think it's worth it and I'm sorry," said The Legend.

"That's too bad," said the person.  The person stood up, grabbed The Legend's money, and ran off leaving the cards and card reader on the table.  The Legend watched him run before calmly standing up.  The Legend thrust out his arm and was about to psychically lift the person off the ground and bring him back when one of his pokeballs opened and Blastoise emerged.  The blue pokemon put its hand on The Legend's chest and grumbled something.  The Legend sighed.

"All right.  I won't bring him back here and I'll let him go.  I still don't think it was worth the fifty bucks.  Keep the cards.  They're yours now.  Let's go, there's a gym leader in Olivine City and I could use another badge to make my way to Johto championships," said The Legend.  The two of them walked down the dirt-covered path while Blastoise examined the cards more closely.  They passed a few more people and saw the tops of some buildings in a nearby town.

"I think we'll stay there for the rest of the day," said The Legend.  Blastoise grumbled something and held up a strange card that showed a golden eye shaped object.  Blastoise pointed to the card reader, something, and handed the card to The Legend.

"You want me to tell you what this card is?  All right," said The Legend.  The Legend put the card in the pokedex type object and an image appeared with information.

"It says that is a 'Millennium Item' called the 'Millennium Eye' that can steal a persons soul and lock it away in a card like the ones in that deck.  This must be some card," said The Legend.  A small button started blinking on the device.  The Legend contemplated what the light meant.  Blastoise said something else.

"I guess this button gives you more information on the card," said The Legend.  The Legend pressed the button, but instead of information, a beam of energy shot out of the device and activated a vortex.  Mewn had no chance to fight it as he, Blastoise, and the card reader were sucked into the vortex.  The Legend fell through a swirling vortex of light and watched as Blastoise was enveloped by a bright light and disappeared.

"Blastoise no!" exclaimed The Legend.  Then a large light appeared and claimed The Legend.

Pegasus' Castle: Pegasus had just informed the duelists about what to expect on his island and was drinking some wine when a bright light filled the room and The Legend slammed into the floor.  The Legend stood up holding his head.

"That's gonna give me a bad headache," he said.  He then noticed his surroundings and then Pegasus.

"Who the hell are you and what am I doing here?" demanded The Legend.  Pegasus held up his hand.

"I've brought you here because I'm aware of your legendary pokemon battling skills.  You are indeed called The Legend and that's why you're here.  In this world you battle the same way except with cards and not actual monsters.  What I want you to do is simple.  I'm going to give you a dueling glove and two star chips.  You will battle various duel monster champions and win more star chips.  When you've received ten star chips, return here and face me.  If you defeat me, I'll send you home, but if you don't, your soul is mine," said Pegasus pulling back the hair covering his left eye.

"The millennium eye like on the card," said The Legend.  Pegasus nodded.

"The very same only mine works.  Here's a rule book, now go," said Pegasus.

"I don't think so," said The Legend.  The Legend thrust out his arm and prepared to use his psychic powers to force Pegasus to return him home.  However nothing happened.

"That was 'odd'," said Pegasus.  The Legend was shocked as he seemed to have lost his powers.  The Legend then tried to use another power, but they all failed.  Pegasus motioned to his two bodyguards and they threw him out of the castle.  The Legend stood up, brushed himself off, and wandered out into the forest.  He memorized the rules in Dueling Monsters, and it wasn't long before he came upon a duelist.

"Hey," said The Legend.  The duelist turned to face him.

"You're going to be my first victim!  I challenge you to a duel," said the person.  The ground rumbled as the dueling field rose out of the ground.

"Most odd," said The Legend.  He took up his position at the one terminal and faced his opponent.

"We'll play for two star chips," said the duelist.  The each set down two chips.

"I can't afford to loose this match or I'll loose my chance to go home," thought The Legend.

"I play the two headed Griox," said the duelist.  A two headed ape monster appeared on the board.  The Legend consulted his cards.

"I play the X-Wing starfighter," said The Legend.  The X-Wing appeared.

"I don't know where you got that card, but it's no match for my Griox.  Go!" exclaimed the duelist.  The griox destroyed the fighter and it blew up.  The Legend's life points dropped to 1600.

"I see that I'll need something stronger," said The Legend.  The Legend drew a new card and glanced at it before smiling.

"I call forth the Defiant," said The Legend.  A battleship appeared bristling with weaponry.

"Fire," said The Legend.  The Defiant fired and blew up the griox.

Nearby: "Did you feel that?" asked Yugi.

"Yeah it sounded like a duel monster battle," said Joey.

"Let's go see," said Tea.  The four friends ran off to the battlefield.

Battle: The Defiant stood floating above the field as the duelist chose his next card.

"I play the red eyes black dragon and I play reinforcements which increases its attack power by 500.  Go dragon," said the duelist.  The dragon rushed forward and blew up the Defiant.  The Legend's life points hit 1000 while the duelist were at 1400.

"I need something good because this dragon is tough," thought The Legend.  The dragon's current attack power was at 2900.  Yugi and his friends arrived at the field to see the dragon standing on the field.  They saw the opposing duelist flipping through his hand before finally drawing another card.

"I play the Mammoth Graveyard in defense mode," said The Legend.

"Go dragon," said the duelist.  The dragon blew up the mammoth but The Legend's life points didn't drop.  The Legend drew another card.

"What the," he thought.  He'd drawn a card with a tail on it and he'd already had the lower part and middle part of a creature and wondered what this meant.  The Legend decided to play a card that would work instead.

"I play Dragonite in attack mode," said The Legend.  Dragonite emerged and roared at the dragon.

"You played a weaker dragon against my dragon?  You're dumber than I thought," said the duelist.  And with a flick of his wrist, Dragonite was destroyed slamming The Legend's Life Points down to a mere 400.

"One more monster and you're history," said the duelist.

"This isn't so good," thought the Legend.

"Don't give up," said Yugi.

"Yeah!  Kick this guys butt," said Tristan.  The Legend nodded, not necessarily for the support, but the fact that if he survived this duel, he might be able to learn more about this island.

"Draw your final card," said the duelist.  The Legend reached for his deck.

"Believe," said Yugi.  The duelist drew the final card and looked at it.

"I've often heard a type of combination such as this.  It's called Exodia.  But this isn't Exodia, this is Godzilla!" exclaimed The Legend.  He lay down the five cards and the whole unit rumbled as the 100-meter atomic beast came right out of the floor and took up the entire field.  The dragon had to fly in order to not be crushed.

"Godzilla, obliterate," said The Legend.  The spines on Godzilla's back began to glow and then a massive stream of energy emerged from its mouth and obliterated the dragon.  The flash of light was so great that everyone had to close his or her eyes when the attack hit.  The duelist life points dropped to zero.

"Your star chips are mine," said The Legend.  He walked over to The Duelist who was in a state of mortal shock.  The Legend took his chips and left to join the group below.

"Hi, I'm The Legend," he said.  He shook hands with the rest of the group.

"I'm Yugi, this is Tea, Joey, and Tristan," said Yugi.

"Hello," said The Legend.

"That was some match.  I've never heard of 'Godzilla' in Duel Monsters, how did you acquire it?" asked Joey.

"Pegasus gave me a specialized deck to battle with on the island," said The Legend.

"You're working for Pegasus?" asked Tea.  The Legend looked at her.

"Of course not!  I need to defeat Pegasus in order to go home, it's kind of confusing.  Let's just say that he and I are not friends," said The Legend.

"I'm here fighting to release the soul of my grandfather," said Yugi.

"And I'm here to get the prize money for this contest so I can give my sister Serenity an operation to stop her from going blind," said Joey.

"And Tea and I are just here to cheer them on," said Tristan.  The Legend nodded.

"Very honorable.  Look, I don't know anyone on this island and I was curious if I could accompany you and face other duelists," said The Legend.

"Works for us.  Any duelist on our side won't face us until the grand championship," said Yugi.

"Works for me," said Joey.

"Thank you," said The Legend.  The five of them left the field and walked through the forest.

"I've got five chips, Joey's got three, and it looks like you've got four.  We're off to a good start," said Yugi.  The walked on and The Legend began looking through his deck.

"I was impressed by your use of an Exodia type monster.  I had an Exodia in my deck but sadly I departed with it," said Yugi.

"I'm sorry," said The Legend.  Yugi shook his head.

"Don't be.  I feel that I'm a stronger trainer because of it.  Anyway, I was impressed with your use of it," said Yugi.  Suddenly the ground opened up and swallowed the group.  They tumbled down several tunnels before slamming down into an underground room.

"The hell," said The Legend.  A dueling field with six terminals was in the middle of the room.  Across the room were three identical brothers.

"Welcome to our trap," said one of them.

"And it's dangerous I'll tell you that," said another.

"I am Para, this is Dox, and that is Ical.  Together we're paradoxical," said Para.

"What do you want?" demanded the Legend.

"To duel you of course," said Ical.

"Yes, for star chips that you desperately seek," said Dox.

"Fine, I'll take on all of you idiots," said The Legend.

"No.  We face each other three on three.  Besides, the only way out of here is through one of these three doors behind us.  If you defeat us then you have a choice of these doors.  One will have you travel forever never finding the surface, the other will have you walk for a long time before emerging, and the third will allow you to exit immediately.  However, one of us will tell only lies, the other only truth, and the other half-truths.  Prepare to duel," said Para.

"Wait a minute," said The Legend.  He turned to the others.

"This is your experience field, what do we do?" asked The Legend.

"We duel them of course," said Joey.

"I've got to agree with Joey.  We'll duel our way out of this," said Yugi.

"I don't trust either of them, I think they have a few screws loose," said Tea.  The Legend turned to look at the brothers.

"No argument there," he said.

"We'll battle them, you, me, and Joey.  Once we defeat them, I'll have enough star chips to enter the castle, and you and Joey will be close.  I'll wait for you two to have enough chips so we can enter together," said Yugi.

"Yeah Yug, that's the way to go.  But who's telling the truth and who's not?" asked Joey.

"We shall find out during the course of the duel," said Yugi.

"I say we kill one of them, and then ask the other two what happened.  That way we'll know who's who," said The Legend.  The others turned to look at him.

"Just a suggestion," said The Legend.  Yugi turned to face them.

"We accept your challenge.  I lay down five chips, Joey three, and The Legend four," said Yugi.

"Then we duel," said Para.  They each lay down the corresponding amount of chips.  Yugi, Joey, and The Legend stood behind the dueling stations and prepared for battle.  The Legend could've sworn something happened to Yugi when he stood behind his platform, but without his psychic powers he couldn't determine anything.

"Prepare yourselves paradoxical brothers," said Yami.

"This is stupid, but I need those chips to go home so I'll do my best to help Joey and Yugi," thought The Legend.

"This is a free for all match meaning play whenever you want.  I play the maze card," said Para.  A gigantic maze popped out of the board.  The Legend jumped back.

"Just like when I fought John Brown," he thought.  Yugi noticed The Legend's reaction but ignored it.

"I play the Gaia," said Yugi.  Gaia appeared.

"I play The Flaming Swordsman," said Joey.

"Gate guardian," said Dox.

"Epox," said Ical.

"And for me, ED-209," said The Legend.  The corresponding monsters appeared on the board.  The ED-209 appeared on the board bristling with weaponry.

"Move your monsters because they'll be no match for us.  I merge Epox with the maze which means he can move undetected through the wall," said Ical.  Yami growled.

"Go Gaia, move forward into the maze," said Yugi.

"You too Swordsman," said Joey.

"ED-209, blast you way through the walls," said The Legend.  While Gaia, and Swordsman made their way through the passages of the maze, ED-209 made his own path by blasting through several walls.

"I will stop you.  Epox attack," said Ical.  Epox appeared from a wall and destroyed ED-209.

"Gaia attack," said Yami.  Gaia destroyed Epox before it could return to the wall.  The Legend and Ical's points dropped to 1400.

"Hmmph.  I play Glorn," said Ical.  A demon type monster appeared.  The Legend drew a card.

"I play the Predator," said The Legend.  The predator appeared and roared.

"Move forward and use your grappling hook to put yourself on top of the maze," said The Legend.  The predator used its grapple hook and put itself on top of the maze.

"Move forward Gaia," said Yami.  Glorn slammed through several portions of the maze in an attempt to stop Gaia.  Joey drew a card.

"I use this to power up Flaming Swordsman another 500 points," he said simply.

"Go Joey," said Tristan.

"Yeah Yugi," said Tea.  Yami grabbed another card.

"I play the dark magician," he said.  The magician appeared on the board.

"Try and meet up with the swordsman and Gaia," he said.  The predator advanced down another hallway and found itself face to face with the gate guardian.

"Gate guardian attack," said Dox.  A laser blast flew out of gate guardian.

"Predator use cloaking device," said The Legend.  The Predator disappeared as the blast flew over where it was and struck the wall.

"With the cloak in place you can't find my predator and thus you can't hit what you can't see.  Predator, use self-destruct," said The Legend.  A blast appeared out of nowhere and struck the guardian causing it to explode.

"I knew that my predator was no match for you guardian so I had it blow itself up adding the precious life points to destroy your creature.  We may have lost life points, but that hurt you more than me," said The Legend.  His life points dropped to 700 but Dox's hit 900.

"You will still loose," said Dox.

"I play Gappa," said Para.  A tall hawk like creature appeared and advanced into the maze.

"I play reborn the monster only instead of a monster I recall the merge card and I play it to merge Glorn and Gappa together.  Glappa attack," said Dox.  The hawk like, bat like creature blasted The Flaming Swordsman, Gaia, and The Dark Magician forcing Yami's life points to 900 and Joey's to 1200.  Joey and Yami growled in anger.

"You will soon be defeated and you star chips will belong to us," said Para.

"I just had a thought, if we've put up all of our star chips, then you should put up the amounts that will guarantee us entry into the castle," said The Legend.  Para, Dox, and Ical reared back for a moment and discussed it among themselves.

"Since you will loose, we agree," said Dox.

"Way to go Legend.  Now we won't have to duel anyone else," said Joey.

"Good. Ditto, I play you," said The Legend.  A blob appeared and moved into the maze.

"How pitiful.  Glappa leap over the walls and squash that pitiful thing," said Dox.  Glappa hopped over the walls and landed on the ground in front of ditto.

"That thing has an attack point of 50, what do you expect to accomplish?" asked Para.

"Watch and see," said Yami.  The Legend nodded.

"Ditto transform," said The Legend.  Ditto glowed and turned and into Glappa.

"It also has the gained the same attack points as your Glappa, 2200, but that plus its original attack points pushes it up to 2250 which is stronger than your own monster.  Glappa, attack," said The Legend.  Glappa attacked and destroyed Glappa causing Para, and Ical's life points to drop to 300.

"Wall, crush the enemy Glappa," said Para.  The wall closed inward and crushed the Glappa.

"I could only do that once and I used it to my advantage.  Look at your pitiful points now.  They're at 300 and if you loose so do your friends," said Para.  The Legend growled.

"We will still win," said Yami.

"That's right," said Tea.

"Which is why I play steel wing.  It drops all of your life points to 100," said Dox.  Yami, Joey, and The Legend's life points dropped like a rock.

"Steel wing?  That's a pokemon move!" exclaimed The Legend.

"Pegasus gave it to us and told us to put it too good use," said Ical.

"Now draw your last cards and loose," said Para.  Joey reached for his card and groaned when he saw it.  Yami just waited for The Legend to draw his.  The Legend drew the card and smiled.

"You've lost, there is no hope for you now," said Para.

"Wrong.  I just drew another set of Exodia type cards.  I call forth the power of The Eclipse Class Star Destroyer.  Use superlaser," said The Legend.  The whole rooms started quaking as the front of a massive ship appeared.  A blinding bolt of energy flew out and obliterated the maze and destroyed the Paradoxical brothers points to zero.

"Yeah!" exclaimed Tea.

"We win brothers," said Yami.  The three of them obtained the star chips they needed and all wound up with ten.

"I never knew so many Exodia cards existed," said Yami.

"I have a specialized deck," responded The Legend.  Yami nodded.

"Now as to how to escape," said Yami.  They faced the brothers.

"Choose your door," said Ical.  Yami flung forth his hand.

"Open your mind," he said.  The brothers shook their heads.

"We're terribly sorry.  It's the left one," said Ical.  The five of them went through it.

"Neat trick," said The Legend.  Yami shrugged.

"It gets the job done," he said.  After a couple minutes of walking they entered into the nighttime sky.

"Let's set up camp," said Joey.  They set up camp.

"Good night," said Tea.

Next morning: In the morning, the five of them woke up and walked up to Pegasus castle and entered inside.

"Greetings all.  I'm Pegasus and you will face other duelists before battling me," said Pegasus.  The Legend consulted the board and went to his duel.  He entered into his tower and waited for his opponent.  A light went off and the opposing duelist appeared.

"No it can't be," said The Legend.  The opponent laughed.

"Hello my old nemesis.  You didn't think you could avoid my wrath did you?" asked Giovanni.

"Let's duel and find out," said The Legend.
