# Chapter 52: America Fights the Pegasus Group
When Hayato woke up again, he found himself lying in a hospital bed. Joey Wheeler sat by the side of the bed, his face tired, his eyes constantly trying to close, but he repeatedly forced himself to stay awake, even slapping himself occasionally to lift his spirits.
" Joey Wheeler ."
Hayato spoke weakly. Although his voice was faint, Joey Wheeler , who was almost asleep, reacted instantly and stood up excitedly: "Hayato, you're awake!"
Propping himself up in bed, a stinging pain shot through Hayato's head, and he couldn't help but cover his forehead: "What happened to me?"
"The doctor said your brain seems to have been stimulated by something, became super active, and then got tired out. Your stamina couldn't keep up, so you fell into a coma." Joey Wheeler handed Hayato a cup of water with honey. "However, Yugi said it seems you ended up like this because you wanted to block the attack that Pegasus launched."
"Kuriboh~" Rainbow Kuriboh crawled out from Hayato's collar just in time, looking at Hayato with those big watery eyes, full of worry.
"Although I had a headache at first, I'm okay now. Thanks for worrying." Hayato said this to Joey Wheeler , and also to Rainbow Kuriboh. Just then, the Ojama Brothers also crawled out from his collar.
"He actually said thanks~" "A~ni~ki~" "So touching!"
"Ugh! You guys get out of here!"
Hayato could accept the cute and cuddly Rainbow Kuriboh hiding in his clothes, but the Ojama Brothers were truly unacceptable, especially when they were touched and wiped their snot and tears on him.
The current Joey Wheeler hasn't seen the ability of Card Spirits yet, so he could only hear Hayato talking to himself. "Is he really okay like this?" He couldn't help but worry if Hayato had gone crazy because his brain was too active.
Hayato suddenly thought of something, threw the Ojama Brothers he had grabbed out from his clothes aside, and looked at Joey Wheeler : "Oh right, where are Yugi and Grandpa Solomon ?"
"So, Hayato, you know about what happened to Ji-san..." Seeing Hayato mention Solomon Muto, Joey Wheeler 's mood couldn't help but feel a bit down. He sat down on the chair and said to Hayato, "That day, after the Duel ended, that Pegasus seems to have used the power of some kind of eye to steal Ji-san's soul and seal it inside that television."
"As expected, I still failed." Although he had a guess before falling unconscious, Hayato still couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed. Although he himself is a transmigrator, in the end, he still couldn't change the original plot? But he noticed something. "That day? How long was I unconscious?"
"Don't worry too much, it was yesterday. You were only unconscious for one morning." Seeing that Hayato's spirit had slightly recovered, Joey Wheeler stood up. "You should rest a bit more, Hayato. I'll go call Yugi, Téa , and the others to report that you're safe, so they can feel relieved."
----Ojama Brothers Wrap Bandages----
Standing on the Rooftop, looking at the setting sun sinking into the Horizon through the wire fence, Yugi's mind was filled with many thoughts. About the injured Hayato, about the unconscious Ji-chan, and also about that Pegasus.
'A card combination I've never seen before, and the Mind Reading Ability. Can I really defeat that kind of opponent?'
'The Other Me'
'aibo, I'm fine. I'm just doubting whether I can avenge Hayato and Ji-chan.'
Just as Yugi and "The Other Yugi" residing in the Millennium Puzzle were talking in their inner thoughts, the sound of the Rooftop door being pushed open came from behind him: "Watching the setting sun alone on the Rooftop? That's quite a literary choice."
A familiar voice made Yugi turn his head involuntarily. Looking at the figure whose head was still wrapped in gauze, Yugi couldn't help but call out his name with some worry: "Hayato, your body..."
"Ah, no need to worry too much. The doctor said my body is very healthy, I can eat at least thirteen small pieces of bread. The gauze on my head is because I accidentally hit the door frame when I was discharged from the hospital. Seriously, why are the hospital door frames so short?" With a relaxed smile on his face, Hayato walked to Yugi's side with his hands in his pockets, looking at the view from the Rooftop and feeling the evening wind blowing.
"How about it, going to Duelist Kingdom?"
Yugi didn't hesitate: "Mm, I'm going to Pegasus's place to get Ji-chan's soul back, and also to avenge you, Hayato."
"Actually, my revenge can't really be counted on Pegasus. After all, it was me who actively provoked him, but what happened to Grandpa Solomon truly cannot be forgiven." Hayato pulled an envelope from his pocket and handed it to Yugi, patting away Ojama Yellow who had climbed back onto his shoulder. "When the time comes, let's go together."
"Huh?" Yugi took the envelope, not quite understanding Hayato's meaning.
"Actually, as early as a month ago, Pegasus already invited me. He invited me to go to Duelist Kingdom, both as a participant and as his invited guest. Open that and take a look."
Yugi opened the envelope and saw several cards inside. The card art on the cards were different, and it seems each has its own use.
"An Invitation Letter to the Kingdom, as proof that you are invited to go to 'Duelist Kingdom'. Also, there are a few that can be considered the Duelist Kingdom Rules Explanation." Hayato also took out a stack of cards like this from his own body, similar to the cards in Yugi's hand, only the style of a few of them seems a bit different.
"'Ticket to the Kingdom' is the proof to go to Duelist Kingdom, 'Left Hand' and 'Right Hand' are the final reward, 'Duelist Glove' is the proof of qualification as a Duelist." Different from the last card in Yugi's hand, 'Kingdom', Hayato's last card is 'Duel Monsters'. "As for this one, it can be considered a ticket. Although also invited by that guy Pegasus, mine seems it's first class."
"Other Duelists can only board the ship by themselves. As for me, I can bring more than one person." Turning around with a smile, Yugi and Hayato's gazes simultaneously looked towards the few people who also came up to the Rooftop, such as Joey Wheeler , Téa , and Tristan .
"Everyone, are you also going to Duelist Kingdom together?"
"Of course. After all, you, Yugi, your personality is so weak, what if you get bullied when you get there?" Téa said confidently with her hands on her hips.
Honda crossed his arms over his chest: "After all, aren't we friends? At a time like this, of course we have to stick together."
"That's Duelist Kingdom, you know. Although I really dislike that Pegasus, the Duel Monsters World's rare grand event can't be missed." Joey Wheeler patted his own chest. "What's more, I also have to avenge Hayato and Ji-san."
However, Joey Wheeler had just finished speaking when Tristan mercilessly exposed him:
"What avenge? You clearly just like during the last National Duel Monsters Selection Tournament, were eyeing the prize money, right?" While saying that, Tristan also patted Joey Wheeler 's shoulder. "And with your strength, don't you dare make Hayato and Yugi avenge you when the time comes."
"You guy Tristan !"
The two's bickering livened up the originally lonely atmosphere when Yugi was alone on the Rooftop. The few people looked at Tristan and Joey Wheeler wrestling together and laughed happily. Yugi looked at his companions and secretly swore in his heart:
Wait for me, Pegasus! I will definitely get Ji-san's soul back!
