Chapter 31: Legendary Heroes Part 2

                                    

                                          
The group followed the  fairy that seemed to be guiding them. They finally arrived at a cliff  letting way to the view of a city underneath.
"I guess that's our destination," Yugi said.
"Let's find a way down," Mokuba told the other three.
When they finally reached the town, it was bustling with people.
"Hm... If this is like any normal RPG, if we ask around, we will get hints on where Kaiba might be," Akia suggested.
"Sounds like a plan," Yugi agreed.
They  all went around talking to everyone, asking whether they saw someone  dressed like them who passed by. Jounouchi then went and asked an old  lady about it.
"I did see a stranger being brought to the temple across the desert," the woman informed him.
"A stranger? That must be Kaiba! Thanks, lady," Jounouchi expressed his gratitude.
They  then went around asking where the desert was. Being pointed in the  right direction, they reached the town gates. As soon as they started  heading out, they were knocked back by a sandstorm.
"Huh? What's that all about?" Yugi inquired.
"How can a sandstorm just knock us back to the town gates?" Akia questioned.
They  tried again, but got the same results. They looked around and found an  old man sitting in front of his house at the outskirts of the city.
"Excuse me, we need to cross the desert. Is there any way to do that?" Yugi asked.
"You need a Koke Card to cross the desert," the old man replied.
"Koke Card?" Jounouchi inquired.
"You need a Koke Card to cross the desert," the old man repeated.
"What's the Koke Card?" Akia asked.
"You need a Koke Card to cross the desert," the old man kept saying the same thing.
"I think he's going to keep repeating the same thing..." Yugi commented.
Agreeing  with Yugi, the group stopped trying to get any more information out of  the old man. They all headed back to the city to find more clues about  the Koke Card.
"Hm... None of the villagers are saying anything useful," Akia noted.
"Yeah, they all just say "hi" or "what brings you to our town?" It breaks the immersion quite a bit," Jounouchi gave his opinion.
"Look! Over there!" Mokuba  pointed at a poster a little further ahead.
Jounouchi and Akia stopped  their conversation and shifted their attention towards the poster. They  all then headed there to read it.
"Big tournament..." Akia started.
"The prize for the winner..." Jounouchi continued.
"Is the extremely rare..." Yugi read.
"Koke Card!!" The  four of them exclaimed at the same time.
The poster told them about the  location of said tournament, which they immediately got to. There, they  found a man registering names, sitting at the entrance.
"Who's going to enter the tournament?" Mokuba asked.
"I'll sign up!" Akia volunteered.
"No, I will," Jounouchi intercepted.
