Chapter 15: Welcome to the Fortune Cup

                                    

                                          
The day of the Fortune Cup saw thousands of people packed into the  Kaiba Dome, with thousands more watching on their televisions.
Leo straightened up to reveal pigtails and heavy makeup. He was dressed  exactly like Luna; his sister hid her real appearance underneath a bulky  orange coat and a cream-colored hat.
"Well, whattaya think? How do I look, guys?"
"Leo, you're as good as good a Loo like Luna is." Yanagi commented and Leo cheered. But then Luna kicked her brother's ankle angrily.
 "Don't embarrass me!"
"Come on, Luna, just chill out. I'm about to make you a dueling legend!" Leo assured her. He walked over to Yusei; the second of the three was trying to hold in a laugh. "What do you say, Mr. Amnesia Man, ready?" Rua asked. He hopped from foot to foot. "This is gonna be amazing! The crowd is gonna love me!"
"Yeah, but I think the makeup should go," Yusei said.
Leo hurriedly rubbed it off. "Okay, but only if you tell me your name."
"You'll find out soon enough." he assured. 
"Awesome I bet it's really cool!"

"Duelists young and old, professional and amateur alike, put  your hands together for our master of ceremonies: Director Rex Goodwin!"
A  smattering of applause broke through the crowd. A strange wind current  picked up, and Jack's Red Dragon Archfiend swooped into the stadium. As  Jack burst out of the tunnel leading into the stadium, the MC shouted,  "Ladies and gentlemen, Red Dragon Archfiend has taken to the skies! You know what that means! Let's hear it for the reigning champion, the King of the cards, the one man who knows the duels! The Master of Faster himself, Jack Atlas!"
Jack's runner rode off the glass sides of the stadium's walls and  barrel-rolled through the air to stop in front of his kneeling dragon at  the center of the arena. He removed his helmet, and cheers rose up from  the audience. "New Domino City! What say we kick this tournament into overdrive?" Jack shouted, playing the crowd. "Let's get this started!"
 "It's time we meet the lucky duelists who were selected for the chance to go head-to-head with Mr. Atlas! The Fortunate 9!"
A panel in the center of the stadium opened up, revealing the ten contestants.
"Here we go! This is it! Whoa, look at all the people!" Leo exclaimed.
"Now let's hear it for the always mysterious Shira; the great Griger; Commander Koda; the Professor; Ms. Akiza Izinski; Sir Ransborg; the lovely Miss Luna;  Clarice Ng; and Yusei Fudo!"
"Dudes, that guy's got a mark!" somebody in the crowd shouted.
"Yeah totally!"
"What's a Satellite doing here?"
"Who is that low-life?"
"He probably stole someone's invitation."
"Check out that girl in goth. Did he say her last name is Ng?"
"That's the name of Asben Ng's! She's that Guy's sister who didn't show up to duel years ago."
"What a chicken."
Clarice clenched her fists, growing angrier by the minute. Expression-less however, everyone knew who her brother Asben was a champion duelist of a Junior year until he suddenly been kidnapped by an unknown organization.
