《Into The World Of Yu-Gi-Oh [Book 1]》Episode 4: Into the Hornet's Nest
Advertisement
The ship finally arrived at the duelist kingdom Island and everyone was excited to get off the ship and start dueling.
Mai was jumping on the balls of her feet while imaging the prize money in her hands and buying everything she ever wanted.
Icarus was standing next to Mai with a composed expression and thinking of a way to get to Mokuba before he escapes his tower.
Yugi was with his friends and thinking about his mission to save his grandfather's soul from Pegasus and putting a stop to him for good.
Joey was standing next to Yugi, thinking about his little sister and how the prize money will help his sister get her eye operation.
Everyone had their motives for dueling, whether its a noble reason or a selfish one. You can't truly judge someone for what or who they duel for.
Finally, duelist among duelist started leaving the ship. And the two stowaways had to casually leave the ship without getting caught which came easy for Téa and wasn't as simple for Tristan.
"Hey you don't be so nervous, you're our guest here," said the first guard
Tristan was stiff as a board before rambling about how was a guest and ran off.
Icarus laughed a bit at the scene "still funny" she mumbled and got off the ship with Mai.
"Come on hoddie, your to slow," Mai said while grabbing Icarus's wrist and pulled her towards the Castle.
Walking up the steps a bit behind Yugi and the gang the hooded duelist saw Téa point something out in the forests. Look to where she was pointing Icarus made eye contact with Bakura before he turned and disappeared into the forest.
Walking past Yugi's friend circle she heard Téa speak on how her mind must be seeing things.
Everyone was standing around the castle entrance as a big screen appeared with Peguses face as he greeted everyone for coming.
Ignoring him the hooded duelist look on outwards to the towers of the Castle, which one was Mokuba.
Just then she saw a small figure in the far left tower. Touching the side of her large blue glasses she zoomed into the window seeing Mokuba being forced into the room. While making a mental note she returned her glasses to their original state.
"So when the sky gets filled up with fireworks that's when the tournament shall begin!" And with that Pegasus was gone but not before looking directly at the hooded duelist and laughing.

"How exciting, I can't wait to beat everyone here" Mai cheered while getting glares around her which in turn I glared at them all back.
Yugi and his friend were talking about their plan to save grandpa and win the prize money. Just then the fireworks went off and they started to walk around the island to find an opponent to duel.
Walking near the forest end joey was super excited to duel and get start chips but téa and Tristan put him down by saying he needs to find an easy opponent. After walking a bit the conversation was changed to how the bug duelist threw Yugi's exodia cards overboard and joey promised to squash him like the bug he is.
Just then Yugi and the gang saw weevil standing near the forest ends with a smirk. In a rage, Joey ran to him to punch him but underwood just ran into the forest, leading them to a special area.
Everyone chased after the bug duelist but stopped when they entered a clearing in the forest.
"Welcome Yugi, to the hornet's nest" weevil laughed in his annoying voice
Yugi challenged the bug duelist to a duel. And Weevil accepts the challenge, and the ground begins to tremble as a huge arena rises up out of the earth. Joey says these aren't going to be like the duels back home! Weevil jumps onto one of the dueling platforms, which rises into position, and Yugi steps onto the other platform.
Weevil sees that Yugi only has one Star Chip, and says he'll eliminate Yugi from the tournament in this one duel. After that, everyone else will be easy pickings. But Yugi says he'll eliminate Weevil-this will be an all-or-nothing match for them both. He offers to put up his dueling deck along with his single Star Chip against Weevil's two Star Chips, and Weevil agrees.
Several other duelists arrive to watch the duel. They recognize Weevil Underwood, but who's that other guy? Joey tells them it's Yugi Muto, who beat Kaiba. And he's Yugi's best friend, Joey Wheeler, and these other two-they're trespassers. Téa and Tristan aren't pleased. The other duelists settle in eagerly to watch the Weevil-Yugi matchup.
Weevil begins the duel by playing Killer Needle (1200 ATK). Yugi counters with Mammoth Graveyard (1200 ATK), thinking his monster will match Weevil's, and attacks. But Mammoth Graveyard is destroyed, while Killer Needle survives. Yugi doesn't understand it-it should have been a stalemate.

Weevil explains-the field they're playing on is one part wasteland and one part forest, where bugs thrive. As long as Weevil plays his insect monsters in the forest area, they receive a field power bonus. Maybe if Yugi had been smart enough to steal the tournament's new rule book, like Weevil did, he'd be the one getting a field power bonus! Weevil's Killer Needle's attack is raised to 1560 points. Joey thinks it's cheating-Weevil has an unfair advantage. But Yami laughs, as Weevil's Killer Needle is also destroyed. Mammoth Graveyard received a field power bonus from the wasteland area, making its attack equal to Weevil's monster.
Weevil grumbles as Yugi explains that as soon as he saw the field display, he understood. Each type of monster has a field that it does best on, and the island contains every type of field imaginable. When Weevil led them to this spot, Yugi realized it was to gain a field advantage.
Weevil congratulates Yugi for putting it together, but says it won't be enough. He plays Hercules Beetle (1500 ATK, raised to 1950 by the field bonus).
Yugi's in a tough spot. Even though he now knows about the field power bonus, it's too late to rebuild his deck to take advantage of it. He plays Feral Imp (1300 ATK), and powers it up with the magic card Horn of the Unicorn, adding 700 points to its attack. But Weevil's Hercules Beetle destroys it-monsters with a field power bonus are resistant to any type of magic attack.
Joey worries that even Weevil's weakest bugs are going to be tough to beat with that field power bonus. Tristan adds that the field can't just be turned off, and Téa says Weevil's a no-good cheat.
Yugi thinks he'd better defend, and plays his next monster face-down in defense mode. Weevil plays Basic Insect (500 ATK, raised to 650 by the field bonus), then powers it up with Level 3 Laser Cannon, and Level 2 Power Boost. Yugi knows he's in trouble-Weevil's Basic Insect is so powerful, his defense monster won't stand a chance! Weevil attacks and Yugi's defense monster is destroyed.
Yugi plays another card face down. Another defense card, Weevil thinks, and he's going to keep up defensive. Setting his own face-down card, he says that the instant Yugi attacks, it will activate Weevil's trap. Now Yugi is completely powerless against him!
But Yugi thinks that Weevil's so busy bragging, he's not paying any attention to Yugi's moves. He slips a face-down card into the spell and trap zone, thinking he'll set a little trap of his own.
The boasting Weevil continues to summon monsters, saying he can attack at any time, while Yugi can only draw and wait. Yugi mentally urges Weevil to put all his monsters on the field-that's what he's counting on. Téa says to just look at Yugi-he's so confident up there! Joey agrees-when Yugi's dueling, it's like he becomes a totally different guy.
Weevil laughs. He's down to his last insect monster, and Yugi's about to be exterminated. Yugi draws Dark Magician, and thinks this is perfect-there's no way Weevil can resist this as a target. He plays Dark Magician in defense.
Weevil attacks with the powered-up Basic Insect. Yugi laughs. Weevil's not the only one who can set a trap! While Weevil was loading up his field with bug monsters, Yugi was preparing a special surprise-his Mirror Force trap card! Weevil tries to call off his attack, but it's too late. Mirror Force reflects Weevil's attack back on him, and destroys all of Weevil's monsters, reducing Weevil's life points to 555.
The gang cheer, while Weevil fumes. How dare Yugi obliterate his army of beautiful bugs! Yugi tells Weevil he's a liar and a cheat, but it was his overconfidence that allowed Yugi to get the best of him. Now his life points are low, and he's used up all his monsters.
Weevil laughs. He lied about that, he says-he still has his most formidable creature waiting in the wings!
Somewhere away from the duel, rumors and whispers were going around about weevil's and Yugi's duel. This caught Mai's attention and she smirked wanting to see the duel herself. Dragging Icarus with her, they both went to find the duel. Even too much of Icarus's complains.

A Nerd's Wet Dream Come True (Tossing an OC into Marvel)
John was an average man. At least that's what he tells himself at night. He lived in a rented apartment in the decent district, a well-paying job, and more student debt than he cared to think about being steadily paid off. Yet he was absolutely miserable. He spent his days living like a zombie, a slave in all but name to corporate. His only joy these days it seems was reading comics and writing fanfics. SI ones. Choke full of power fantasies and large harems. Yeah, even he had to admit he was a loser. His only redeeming feature seemed to be his photographic memory and the library's worth of comics and books he has read. Yet, when fate took pity on him and had John transported into the Marvel Universe, he was only all too happy to oblige. A second chance to make something of himself. Is he going to finally have the comfortable life he wanted? Will he laze away relying on his past life's knowledge or does he want more this time? Will his ambition and hard work lead to sweet fruits, or will it rot away in the darkness hiding beneath the colorful costumes of the hero's society? Now with crossovers! Be warned if you don't like to see OCs messing up the timeline or DC and other stuff showing up. I swear I'm not randomly adding stuff and there is a legitimate (as far as comic books and fanfics can be) plot reason why. (I'll be honest, I don't know "cannon" marvel really... I watched some movies and animated series as a kid, but I haven't picked up a comic in years. This is just some light-hearted and casual writing for fun. If there are any errors or something you think would be cool please let me know.) I'm also trying to have multiple main characters so that might be jarring for some people while I switch perspective. Sorry in advance, I'm new at this and idk what I'm doing, advice and feedback gladly welcomed!
