Kingdom Come

Hello Minna-san! Yeah it's me back again with another fic. It's based on the game: Yu-Gi-Oh! The Falsebound Kingdom. It features my OCs from my soon to be up YGO fic: Heart of the Cards as well. If you don't know of the game then here some background for it to help you understand.

Yugi and his friends are trapped in a virtual reality game created by an American company called 'SIC'. This reality is completely out of control though! You can play as either Yugi Muto or Seto Kaiba, both with completely different story lines. You have to save his friends and team up with them to finish the game and get out.

And that's all I'm saying, tee hee hee. There's gonna be two different versions of this story so you know. One's in Yugi's storyline and the other is in Kaiba's, both featuring one of my OCs to play as a star along with the guys, Ami Kamisaki (YM) and Suzuki Kuroshima (SK). Oh and yes I know I use the 4kids names but I'm too lazy to use Japanese names OK. It's all in Nobody's POV! This Kaiba's part!

XxXFull SummaryXxX

Seto Kaiba/Suzuki Kuroshima:

Seto Kaiba gets an invitation to test out SICs new game, he brings his younger brother Mokuba Kaiba along with him and they run into two familiar faces, Suzuki Kuroshima and Mika Nanako. Suzuki is a hot headed teenage girl who holds the vice-president and icon position for her god father's company, Mika is Suzuki's 'sister' and friend. Suzuki is a large contributor to ideas of other companies as well, whenever it's in her own company's favor of course, but even though Seto's company is beginning to fall she refuses to help… despite the fact that her company would greatly benefit. When the four are cast into roles and trapped in the game they have to finish the game to be freed. Seto's in the Imperial Army, Suzuki's a Nobleman's daughter whose a trusted friend of the emperor and apparently her character is engaged, she's forced to go along with Seto and heed his orders. But Suzuki continuously disregards them and ends up in trouble half of the time. Will Seto and Suzuki stop arguing long enough to figure things out and get out of the game with Mokuba and Mika before it's too late?

Ru-Ru: After being gone for a LONG time I decided to post this since I'm not quite finished with the next chapter of IJALS!

Suzuki: She's got about three chapters of this done, she's had them done for a while just never posted them.

Ru-Ru: Yeah well now I'm posting them, so be happy bout it!

Mika: Hey, who's doing disclaimer?

Ru-Ru: I don't know, whoever wants to I guess. Well we should probably start the chapter I guess.

Suzuki: Yes we should. Mimi-chan can you do the disclaimer please?

Mika: Sure, Zeairu-san doesn't own any part of the YGO franchise, some of the dialogue, and most of the characters.

Suzuki: She also doesn't own Kaiba's ego if you didn't know.

Ru-Ru: ANYWAY! I'm still working on my Super Secret Headquarters it should be finished at some point!

Ru-Ru and Suzuki: Please Enjoy!

Chapter One: SIC's Game
Seto Kaiba/Suzuki Kuroshima

"Why are we here Suzu-chan?" Mika asks Suzuki as they stand outside of a large mechanical building run by the company SIC. "Because Kaichou didn't have the time or patience to come out here like they asked. So he sent the person who's the icon of the company, me. And I decided to drag you with me." Suzuki responds, a little irritated. "You didn't want to come did you Suzu-chan?" Mika giggles. "It's not that. It's because of who I know is probably going to be here too because it's a company deal and he did well in Battle City. Damn Kaiba, always ruining whatever fun I have." Suzuki complains. Mika laughs and says. "Well shall we go in before we run into them?" "Probably should… too late he's here." Suzuki states as she notices the approaching limo. "What an unlucky day." The black limo comes to a stop and like Suzuki said, out steps the Kaiba brothers. Kaiba notices Suzuki and sighs with obvious disgust, Suzuki returns the favor and groans as she slaps her forehead, both having the same thought in mind: 'Her/Him again?' "Hello Mokuba-kun." Mika waves at the younger Kaiba. Mokuba returns the wave and replies. "Hey Mika-chan." Both taking notice to the tension brewing between the older pair they silence themselves and standby, waiting for either to make a first move. "Why is it that where ever I plan on going you end up being in the way? Are you stalking me or something?" Kaiba flatly states. "Me stalk you? That's only in your fantasies. I'm here because Kaichou asked me to represent him, didn't plan on seeing you in my way." Suzuki boldly remarks. "Always do what he tells you to do. Then I can't wait to see what you do if he tells you to kill someone." Kaiba continues.

"I don't always do what I'm told; I'm just doing Kaichou the favor. Plus if it's another business deal I can make for Kaichou and get it safely out of your reach then I'm glad to have come." Suzuki states. "And plus their work seems to be a bit interesting… a little copyrighted though, that's another reason why I had to check this out." "And because you just love little games." Kaiba smirks as he starts walking closer to the gates. "You're just angry because I contribute to so many other company works but won't help with KaibaCorp." Suzuki comments. "Wonder when it'll fall… whenever you're ready to surrender to me and lose your ego I'll help, until then you know many companies won't give into your little claims. Your running low on ideas too aren't you Kaiba?" Kaiba sends daggers in her direction signaling her correct answers, Suzuki is a large contributor to many companies but refuses to contribute or give any business suggestions that help KaibaCorp because of Kaiba's attitude towards her. She gives him a run for his money if you may, making KaibaCorp struggle every so often because of her schemes… but what she exactly wants from Kaiba is what's unclear to most, including Kaiba himself. "Hey, Suzu-chan don't you think the building looks nice?" Mika says, trying to stop the bickering. "I-" Suzuki starts before Kaiba rudely interrupts. "It looks cheap-" "I think it's a bit strange, never liked mechanical buildings too much." Suzuki finishes, cutting Kaiba off in the process. "It's far from the city too." Mokuba comments. "Yeah it really is, wonder why they had to be so far away." Suzuki says. "Whatever, come on Mokuba." Kaiba states, looking at his younger sibling. "Hey Kaiba why'd you even accept coming? Is it just because of their involvement in Duel Monsters?" Suzuki asks the brown hair adolescent.

He turns and looks at her, seeming to determine if there's a secret meaning to her question, deciding it safe territory he replies. "Yes it's just because of their involvement in Duel Monsters. If it wasn't for that I wouldn't have come." "It's kinda funny how they don't advertise their involvement isn't it? Hey, what do you plan on doing with any new information?" Suzuki continues. Again deciding whether the question is safe he stops and sighs, glancing at Mokuba. "The technology may be able to help improve the duel disk." Mokuba replies for his brother. "SIC's an American company right?" Mika asks as she looks at the brothers. "Yeah, it does basically the same things as KaibaCorp does. too" Mokuba answers. "Sounds copyrighted." Suzuki comments as she eyes the building. "The company's world-renowned overseas for its realistic imaging and virtual reality technology. But it's not really much of a game company… kinda like a scientific virtual center if you know what I mean." Suzuki looks over at the brothers again, particularly the older one and asks. "What did they want from KaibaCorp anyway?" "Why do you want to know?" Kaiba states. Suzuki groans and repositions herself, now holding her arms like she's hugging herself and looking back at the building. "Whatever, do what you want… don't take any advice when I'm willing to give it. It's fine with me." She complains more to herself than anything. Kaiba sighs angrily and states. "They wanted to show me their new product and discuss a joint business deal. Why?" Suzuki looks back at him, amethyst on ice, and says. "This place… no… just forget it… it's nothing important…" She lowers her arms and turns with her back facing him, now locking her eyes on the building once again, a stranger seriousness locking them in place. "Well umm…. Let's get going then…" Mika slowly says, a little nervous. The Kaiba brothers walk past the pair, the older Kaiba's eyes searching Suzuki's for a moment before turning away. "Suzu-chan what's wrong?" Mika asks.

"It's nothing… let's just get going Mimi-chan." Suzuki states as she follows the brothers in the gates. A tall man in a suit with dark brown hair in a point comes to greet them, looking at the four approaching people and frowning when noticing Suzuki and Mika instead of Michiru himself. "Thank you for coming Mr. Kaiba. The entire staff and I would like to welcome you. And you as well Miss. Kuroshima." The man greets, "Isono?" Mokuba nearly shouts as he recognized the man. "Well I didn't expect to see you here Isono." Kaiba states bitterly. "A former KaibaCorp employee?" Mika asks. Mokuba nods and she raises an eyebrow in return, and then looks at Suzuki who has a mixed expression on her face. "I really did enjoy working for you Mr. Kaiba…" Isono says. "Whatever relationship we had ended when you left KaibaCorp. I don't care what you do with your life now." Kaiba flatly states. Isono gulps and Suzuki asks. "What exactly do you and your little company have to show Isono? Nobody here has all day to be yakking away." Mokuba and Isono shoot their heads at Suzuki not being familiar with her business attitude like Kaiba and Mika. "Ahem… yes. It's right inside, Miss. If you all will just follow me…" Isono coughs. ''Bout time, he's slacking.' Suzuki thinks as they follow him inside the building. "We've asked the president of Kaiba Corporation and the president of Kira Kira Yoru, even though he sent a representative, here today so that they can evaluate SIC's latest invention." Isono continues as they walk. "What does Kaichou's music company have to do with this? Check your sounds?" Suzuki comments. "No Miss. It's because we wish to use Mr. Sakuranochi's music in the game, with that he wished to know what the game is about. But since they're your songs it is a good idea for you to be here too." Isono replies.

"Mmhm…" Suzuki mumbles. "All of us here at SIC are extremely excited about today's test and are hoping for the best results as possible." he continues. "We're looking forward to collaborating with Kaiba Corporation and Kira Kira Yoru on game and sound technology development." "Let's cut to the chase here. You need an investment capital to sell your technology so you want to use Duel Monsters to assist because it's a good tie-in for your product." Kaiba states boldly. Isono doesn't respond so Suzuki starts. "And you all figure that you can use Kaiba because of how much he's already invested in Duel Monsters and me because of how popular my music is." Isono still doesn't say anything. "Well?" Kaiba and Suzuki ask. "Their scary when they work together like this." Mokuba and Mika whisper to each other. Suzuki groans and Kaiba says. "Your silence speaks loudly. Well I need some new technology so I might as well check this thing out." Suzuki quickly glances at Kaiba, wanting to comment but deciding against it for a moment. "This is it?" Mokuba and Mika say in unison when they enter the room with the technology. The technology looks like the duel disk, in any way you can visually observe it, and both Kaiba and Suzuki frown at the sight and cast a warning glare at Isono. "Yes. This is SIC's newest simulator, code name: Kingdom." Isono says ignoring the glares. "It looks just like my duel disk." Kaiba growls. "What kind of cheap trick are you trying to play, it's so copyrighted Isono!" Suzuki states. "This is just a prototype I reassure you. We're only using the duel disk for packaging reasons." Isono defends. "It's all original SIC technology hardware on the inside you see." "How's it different from the duel disk?" Kaiba questions skeptically.

"Well for starters Kingdom isn't set up to use cards. It's just a terminal to the duel monsters world that is created by SIC's super computer. It can support multiple players at once and allows them to enter the duel monsters world." Isono explains. "The world's already been constructed, we'd like you to play the game as you normally would." "Sounds like a network game." Mokuba comments. "Yes, I see. It sounds different from duel monsters as we know it." Kaiba comments. Suzuki scrunches her nose at the thought and Isono asks. "Is something wrong Miss. Kuroshima?" "… No it's nothing... carry on." Suzuki replies Kaiba side glances at her skeptically before returning his attention to Isono. "Kingdom is a fantasy world where the card monsters are alive. The empire that rules the world is presently dealing with a populace on the brink of revolt. You four will join that world and try to complete the game as the different characters that you are assigned to be. The game is currently set for a few hours and we'll be recording your progress from here as you play." Isono explains. "It sounds like fun." Mika cheers. "Yeah let's play." Mokuba chimes in. "OK…" Kaiba says. "…Sure…" Suzuki mutters. As Isono, Mokuba and Mika walk over to the machine Suzuki turns to Kaiba and says. "Something's not right here." "Yeah for once I agree. Isono's up to something." Kaiba agrees. "It's not a coincidence that one of my former employees is involved with this." "He gave the development of the duel disk and duel computer to SIC… say what does that stand for?" Suzuki continues. "Wait wasn't that guy's name…" Kaiba starts until Isono interrupts. "Are you two coming?" "Yes…" Kaiba says Suzuki looks at him as he starts walking. "Kaiba!" she harshly whispers.

"Shush." Kaiba commands. Isono, Mokuba and Mika turn their backs on the pair once again, Suzuki takes the opportunity to go over to Kaiba and whisper in his ear. "What the hell are you doing?" "We'll only find out what's going on if we play this game so it seems. So hush up and come on." Kaiba states. "You'll have to make me." She whispers challenging and a little seductively in his ear. Kaiba glances at her and searches her amethyst orbs, filled with a mischievous and challenging sense alongside a playful desire. "That won't be too hard." He mutters as he side steps from her. She smirks and steps closer, continuing her little game. "Nervous Kaiba?" she softly says again. "Not at all." He states. Her smirk increases as their eyes lock once again, Kaiba frowns and grabs a firm hold of her hand. He pulls her with him towards Isono, Mokuba and Mika not seeing the pleased expression that enters her face on contact. A rosy blush taking a firm control of her cheeks as she returns the favor and holds his hand as well, noting how he's hiding their embraced hands behind his back as he faces Isono and the others.

It is Year 336 of the Sygh-Varths Empire. After 300 years of ruling the continent of Rondeval the Sygh-Varths Empire is faced with a crisis. Haysheen is the 12th emperor and ever since he started his rein corruption and violence have spread throughout the empire. The people live in oppression but sadly their complaints fall on deaf ears. Haysheen and an exclusive group of his subjects have been living in the lap of luxury that is supported by heavy taxation of the poor. This has pushed many people to the edge and has started revolts and rebellions in parts of the Empire and in the capital of Sygh-Varths itself.

"What the…?" Kaiba growls. "Hell is going on here?" Suzuki finishes "Suzu-chan! H-" Mika squeaks. "UGH!" is the last thing she hears from Kaiba with Mokuba being silent the whole time. "Mimi-chan, Kaiba, Mokuba-kun? Where are… you… all…?" Suzuki starts in a shout but then her world turns to black.

"… ba… ki…" a voice shouts from the darkness. "… wrong? ... Kaiba… Suzuki…" "Kaiba, Suzuki! What's wrong? Please look at me!" the voice continues. "Oh… my head…" Kaiba mutters, half expecting to hear Suzuki give a smart remark. But instead a harsh male's voice sounds. "What's wrong? You just suddenly collapsed." Kaiba turns his head to the side to see an old man dressed similar to an Ancient Egyptian Pharaoh, named Haysheen, glaring down at him. "Your highness I believe she's coming around." Someone says. Kaiba looks for the voice and see Suzuki's stiff body on another part of the floor surrounded on one side by a few men, his breath catches in his chest a little until he sees her breathe and he sees amethyst under coffee. Kaiba looks back at Haysheen and asks. "Where… where am I?" Slowly he sits up and looks back at Suzuki as she sits up and rubs her head. She looks back at him then turns to answer someone's questions. "Kaiba where are your manners? You must stand when you are in the Emperor's presence." A strict yet annoying voice commands from one side, both Kaiba and Suzuki look at him. "We're in the Imperial Palace in the capital city of Sygh-Varths. We were in the middle of a conference with his Highness before you collapsed. Don't you remember?" "No. I don't remember a thing." Kaiba announces unfazed. "And you Lady Suzuki? Don't you remember you passed out as well?" The person, named Marthis, says as he looks over at the brown hair adolescent. "What's there to remember if nothing happened? You're talking like a crazy person you know." Suzuki replies. "Pull yourselves together! I demand more from my Imperial Guard's leader as well as my best warrior and from my best female marshal!" Haysheen barks.

'Who the hell is the old guy? And what's a marshal?' Suzuki wonders as she's pulled to her feet and brought next to Kaiba. "Let us go over the strategy again for Kaiba and his fiancée's sake. Listen well if you two know what's good for you." He growls. 'Fiancée? What exactly does he mean by that?' Kaiba and Suzuki both think as they side glance at each other. "We've received reports of a relatively large revolt proceeding in the north on the Maryah-Denn Plains. There are several marshals helping the resistance army over there, so we must capture them." Haysheen passionately explains. "None of my other generals want to take the task, so Kaiba I want you to hunt them down with your fiancée. Take the Imperial Guard and send the fear of the Empire into their hearts! … … Well? Don't either of you have something to say about this?" "She's not my fiancée." Kaiba states boldly. "Man you have issues! You really think I'd marry this guy!" Suzuki comments, pointing a finger at Kaiba. He stares at her for a moment, considering her use of the phrase 'this guy', then plotting revenge. "I believe Lord Kaiba and Lady Suzuki are still not quite themselves. Perhaps Lord Kaiba is suffering from his vigorous activities and Miss Suzuki is suffering from worry. Your highness Lord Kaiba's present state makes me a tad fretful about leaving this completely in his hands. He doesn't even remember being engaged to Lady Suzuki." Marthis says, eyeing the pair. "With your permission I would like to accompany them and offer my support." "I understand. Permission granted. Suzuki seems to not recall the engagement either by her facial expression. Well I assume you do not have a predicament with that, Kaiba?" Haysheen states. "… Uh… sure?" Kaiba nearly questions. "You're absolutely correct he is acting oddly. Do not disappointment me, Marthis." Haysheen commands. "Yes sir." Marthis replies.

Suzuki raises her hand as if she was in a classroom; Haysheen gives her an odd look but nods to her. Kaiba, Marthis and the others who are in the room look at her strangely for raising her hand. "Am I going too?" Suzuki asks innocently. "Yes you are. And you are to abide by Kaiba's orders, but you are ahead of Marthis so he must mind you as well as Kaiba." Haysheen softly answers, running out of patience. 'I have to obey Kaiba? This isn't freaking fair at all!' Suzuki mentally complains. At this Haysheen dismisses them and Marthis stays to speak with him for a little longer but Suzuki and Kaiba are signaled to wait outside, for once listening they walk out. In the hall they hear a familiar young male call out to them. "Seto! Suzuki-san!" "Mokuba! So you're here too." Kaiba declares as his younger brother approaches. "Yep, and it looks like I'm a member of the Imperial Guard. I'm supposed to report directly to you." He continues. "Well how convenient is that." Suzuki comments. "Have you seen Mika?" "No I haven't, but she'll probably turn up soon, right?" Mokuba answers. "What's your role Suzuki-san?" "Apparently I'm the best female 'marshal', also could be the only one in the palace since I seemed so 'important' to Haysheen, and this guy's fiancée." Suzuki replies with a thumb pointed at Kaiba. "And he's head of the Imperial Guard." Kaiba glares at her for her use of the phrase 'this guy' once again; she notes this and sticks out her tongue in response. "Seto, Suzuki-san, this place is unbelievable! For virtual reality it's so realistic!" Mokuba praises. "This game's a little too realistic. I don't get the idea that we're in control of the game by any means." Kaiba comments. "I think it's safe to say that we're confined in this world." "Yeah and it wouldn't have happened if you listened to me and didn't go." Suzuki remarks.

"You didn't have to come." Kaiba states. "If you get locked in a game world life wouldn't be as interesting, I need someone to fight with and you're just that person. It's a compliment." Suzuki continues as she turns with her back to them to hide her blush. "It was a trap from the beginning. Hmph! Just wait until I get my hands on that pitiful Isono…!" Kaiba growls more or less to himself. Suzuki sighs, turns and pats his shoulder. "We all fell for it; sure I'm pretty pissed too. But still before you think of what you're going to do let's think of what we have to do to get to that point." He glances at her and sidesteps away from her hand and the awkward silence. "Anyway guys while you two were at your little get-together, I did some research on this place." Mokuba says breaking the silence. "Alright leave it to Mokuba-kun to figure those types of things out." Suzuki praises. "In this world duelists are called Marshals; they're like generals and are the central players of each battle in this world." He happily continues. "Marshals, Haysheen used that word back there." Kaiba says. "Yeah I know. I just said it a few minutes ago too Einstein." Suzuki comments. Kaiba glares at her for the umpteenth time today, deciding on how to retaliate. "Marshals have a special power over Monsters so instead of using soldiers they command Monsters. The fate of the battle is decided by the Marshals and the Monsters can harm people, it's probably why Marshals are so important so they can scare normal humans." Mokuba continues. "But Marshals are rare, in the Imperial Guard there's only two. That's you and me Seto." "Hey what about me?" Suzuki demands. "Well I did say in the Imperial Guard, you're not in the Imperial Guard, it turns out you're the daughter of the Emperor's most trusted friend, who so happens to be a Nobleman." Mokuba covers. "Mmhm…" Suzuki mutters angrily.

"Anyway, a Marshal can control up to three Monsters, the three Monsters are called teams and each team has a leader, the team's traveling speed is determined by the leader of the Marshal's team." Mokuba finishes. "That it?" Suzuki asks. Mokuba nods and Kaiba says. "Guess we'll just find out more as we fight through this game." "How did this happen to us, Seto? Why do things like this always happen?" Mokuba asks his older brother. "I don't know Mokuba. But we're stuck in this game as the roles we're assigned." Kaiba answers. "But Isono said that this was a game, so if we play the game until the end we may be able to find a way out." "Of course, every game has an ending." Mokuba comments enthusiastically. "Exactly, so this must be our only option." Kaiba continues, and then turns to Suzuki with an amused expression. Suzuki looks back at him confused and Kaiba says. "And you have to take orders from me. This should be interesting." Suzuki gapes and says. "Doesn't mean I'll follow your rules exactly… sweetie." Kaiba growls at her romance comment referring to their apparent engagement, Suzuki smirks but all talk stops when Marthis comes out and says. "Oh so he's already with you two, well we must be going then." "Uh… Yeah…" the three say in unison.
