On New Years' Eve of 1999 in Domino City, in the ice and snow covered Domino City Park, Yugi, Joey, Kaiba, and Mai were enjoying the winter snow. Joey stuck his tongue out and ate some snowflakes.
'Don't eat the yellow snow, hun.' Mai said.
'Ok Mrs. Mai.' Joey said. 'Understood.'
'Yugi.' Kaiba said. 'With Tea gone to study dance and Tristan gone to work at his father's factory, do you miss them?'
'Yes, but I think now is the time we should bury the hatchet, Kaiba.' Yugi said. 'Our time as enemies is long gone. It is almost the start of a new millennium, so let's enjoy this moment together.' Joey threw a snowball at Mai, getting her angry.
'Watch it!' Mai shouted.
'What, can't we have a little fun with all this snow?' Joey said. Mai and Joey were throwing snowballs at each other, while Yugi and Kaiba just laughed and watched the show from the sidelines. A large black and purple airship with a skull and bones on it hovered in the skies, beaming down a vampire gentleman with white skin, grey hair, and a purple tuxedo and black cape.
'Who is this dweeb?' Kaiba asked.
'I am Count Blaine, Gentleman Vampire Genius, the hero of the Dark Divination, and soon to be ruler of the world.' He sent his Vampire Bots, which were humanoid robots which looked like knights in black armor from head to toe and had a purple skull and bones on their armor. The Vampire Bots pulled out their blasters and started firing at the people in the park. Yugi, Joey, Kaiba and Mai took evasive action.
'I summon the Dark Magician!' Yugi said. 'Dark Magic Attack!' The Dark Magician destroyed the robots.
'Harpie Lady, attack!' Mai summoned her Harpie Lady and it destroyed the robots.
'Red Eyes, attack!' Joey said. Red Eyes destroyed the robots.
'Blue Eyes, have at 'em!' Kaiba said. Blue Eyes destroyed the last of the robots.
'You have not seen the last of me!' The Count said, beaming up to his ship. The ship flew away as the Count proceeded to his evil deeds.
Inside the Ghost Wing, the name of his ship, he sat with his crew mates, Viola, Victor, Vincent, Valerie, and Vladimir.
'Yugi.' Blaine said. 'He was the guy who beat Pegasus in Duelist Kingdom.'
'Yes, he is famous.' Viola said. Viola had long black hair with purple streaks, purple eyes, black lipstick, a black tank top with purple and black arm warmers and a stud belt on black leather pants with black high heeled boots.
'Can you determine where he lives?' Victor, who had shaggy black hair, black eye makeup, piercings on his ears, and a black hoodie over a black button down shirt with black pants and black platform shoes.
'Yes.' Blaine said. He started typing on his computer and found the Game Shop on the satellite.
'Aha!' Blaine said. 'Yugi lives in a game shop with his grandpa. I know what to do, but first I need my cards.' Victor handed Blaine his dueling deck, and he inserted it into the machine.
'This machine lets any monster the slot machine lands on become real.' Blaine said. He pulled the lever, activating a slot machine. It landed on Vampire Assassin Hornet, a Dark Insect monster with 1400 ATK and 600 DEF, and it had an effect that destroys one monster on your opponent's side of the field at the cost of discarding your entire hand. The Vampire Assassin Hornet was sent out to assassinate Solomon Muto. Solomon was doing some late night cleaning of the game shop, while he saw the red and black hornet fly through the window.
'AAH!' Solomon screamed. 'A BIG BUG!' It fired its needle, impaling Solomon in the heart, leaving him falling to the ground with blood spilling from his body.
The next morning on New Years' Day, Yugi went to his game shop to find his grandpa dead, seeing his bloody corpse laying on the floor.
'GRANDPA!' Yugi screamed. Tears rolled down his eyes as he was crying that his grandfather was dead. He held Solomon's body and cried as the tears dropped on the deceased corpse.
'After all that you did for me, it had to come to this!' Yugi cried. 'YOU DIDN'T DESERVE THIS GRANDPA!'
Solomon's funeral
A memorial service was held for Solomon in the white walls and red floors of the Domino Church. Yugi sat in the brown benches with Joey, Kaiba, and Mai, as all were dressed in black formal attire. Mai wore a black birdcage veil over her head along with her black dress. The preacher who was none other than Arthur Hawkins began the sermon.
'Friends of Solomon Muto, we are gathered here today to celebrate the life of a man I once knew. A man who inspired me, taught me the meaning of friendship, explored with me through ancient tombs, and inspired me to understand what it means to be not only a duelist, but what it means to be human. If anyone wants to say a few words, come along.' Yugi took the mic to say a few words.
'Grandpa was the world to me.' Yugi said. 'He lended me my deck that I still carry today, he coached my best friend Joey to become the duelist he is today, and without him, none of me and my friends would be where they are now. I owe him the journey I had restoring the Pharaoh's memory and defeating the ultimate evils. May him rest in peace.' Yugi pulled out his MP3 player and hooked it up to some speakers, and played 'Good Riddance(Time of your Life)' by Green Day. Everyone started to bond together and mourn as the song played.
'I gotta hand it to you, Joey.' Kaiba said. 'It is moments like these that I cannot believe I used to call you a second rate duelist.'
'You really mean that?' Joey said.
'Yes.' Kaiba said. 'And Mai, I love your passion for the good things in life, reminds me of myself.'
'Thank you, Kaiba.' Mai said. Mai hugged Joey and Kaiba. Yugi joined in the hug as they took a photo from Mai's camera. The photo hung on a note board in the game shop, now the home for our newfound heroes.
