Alexis stared out of the taxi window, absorbing all the beautiful sights of Domino City. "This is pretty awesome, isn't it, Lex." Jaden said, noticing the bewildered expression on her face. "Absolutely," She replied, "I can't believe we're even down here."

Neither could Jaden, but he had to keep in mind that they were her for some serious business. Duel Academy was shutting down, and not for any good reason. It had been taken over by a psychotic business tycoon that was determined to destroy it and any trace of its existence. Only three people had gotten away before the school had been locked down, those three people were Alexis, Jaden, and Atticus.

Now they were in Domino city to ask for help from maybe another psychotic businessman, but one who wasn't about to let the academy he built go to waste.

"Seto Kaiba," Jaden said, "We are going to have to convince Seto Kaiba to buy us out?" Alexis smiled weakly, "Not exactly, we have to convince him to literally get help down there and save us."

Now it was Atticus's turn to sigh, "Oh, what a joy that will be." Alexis turned her attention away from the view, "You know, Kaiba does have one soft spot." Jaden and Atticus turned their heads, "His wife."

At KaibaCorp

Kaiba sat at his desk, leaning over a stack of paperwork, "I love my job, I love my job, and I love my job." He repeated numbly, who was he kidding? His job made tons of money, sure, but fun? Absolutely not.

That's when there was a faint knock on the door, to which Kaiba replied, "Come in." The door slowly opened and Serenity walked in. "Hey sweetie," She said, looking at the paperwork stacked on his desk. "Hard day?" Kaiba nodded, not even bothering to look up from his work.

"Do you think we could go for lunch today? Alistair is at daycare today and Sushi is sounding really yummy." Kaiba looked up, Serenity leaned on his desk with arms crossed and a smile on her face. He put down his pen, "Sure." He was about to get up when his phone rang, after glancing guiltily up at Serenity he picked up. "Kaiba." He answered simply.

"Mr. Kaiba, there is someone to see you." His secretary said, "They say it's urgent." Kaiba sighed, "How urgent?" He could already feel Serenity's disappointment. "Fatal." The secretary answered. Kaiba sighed and spoke again, "Tell them to wait there I'll be down in a second." He hung up the phone.

"What is it?" Serenity asked, Kaiba replied, "Some fatally urgent news or something." He looked around for his bag, but it was out of sight. "Just head down, Ren, I'll be there in a moment." Serenity nodded and headed out the door.

Back To Jaden

"He'll be down in a second." The secretary told Jaden, who replied curtly, "Thank you." He trudged back to Alexis and Atticus, "He'll be down in a second." He told them, they smiled slightly.

"Do you really think he'll go for this?" Alexis asked, "He's really busy." Atticus shrugged, "Let's hope so, or we've got nothing."

Serenity walked out of the elevator and into the lobby of KaibaCorp. It was bustling as usual, but what was unusual were the three teens sitting on the waiting chairs. She decided she had some time to spare and walked over to them.

"Hey," She said, getting their attention, "What brings you guys here?" The shorter boy answered, "We're waiting for Mr. Kaiba, and we have a bit of an emergency." These must be the people he has to talk to, Serenity thought.

"I can assure he's coming," She told them, "But in the meantime, I'm Serenity Kaiba."
