"Awww! Why not?"

Seto couldn't help the slightly annoyed sigh that escaped him, staring down at the wide, pleading eyes of his younger brother. Not about to let his resolve break, the CEO crossed his arms, shaking his head. "Mokuba, you have school," He pointed out.

"But I've skipped before! Please Seto! I wanna go to the space station with you!" Mokuba begged.

Seto have the teen a nod of agreement. "Yes you have, and you also skipped a few days last week," He pointed out,"If you do it too much, you're going to get in trouble."

"I don't care!" Mokuba exclaimed,"I want to spend time with you, big brother! You promised!"

Seto's heart suddenly felt as if it had been squeezed, a cringe coming over his face at the reminder. When he had returned from his visit to Yami, he was greeted by a heartbroken Mokuba that believed he was never coming back.

Since the incident, Seto had thrown away his obsession with the pharaoh and focused even more on his little brother. The space station became more for research purposes than anything. Seto was still there during a majority of the week, however.

Mokuba is right… I've been doing it again… He realized, a soft sigh escaping from his lips. His blue eyes locked with Mokuba's and he reached out, ruffling the younger's hair.

"Tell you what," He began,"You go to school, and I'll be there to pick you up. We'll do whatever you want for the rest of the day."

Mokuba's eyes widened, exploding with happiness. "Really? Okay! I'll go to school!" He exclaimed, turning to run up the stairs; He suddenly scrambled backwards, placing his finger on his chest. "Cross your heart?"

Seto rolled his eyes, chuckling at Mokuba's antics. "Alright, alright," He said, placing his finger over his heart and making an X mark. "Cross my heart."

Mokuba smiled happily, before taking off up the stairs to prepare for his day.

The older watched him go, fondness surrounding his soul, and made sure to finish his breakfast while trying to ignore the churning feeling in his stomach.

Despite the happy plans he and Mokuba had made, Seto had a sinking feeling that something bad was going to occur.

After dropping off his brother, Seto went straight to the space station. He wanted to get through as much work as possible in order to spend more time with Mokuba.

That churning feeling, no matter what Seto was doing, just wouldn't go away. He tried to tell himself that nothing would go wrong, but he trusted his gut too much to do that.

And just as he finished up his work…. His gut was proven right.

A red light suddenly came on, an alarm blaring through the space station. Seto jumped in his seat, before running out to where the other scientists were staring.

"What's going on?!" He demanded, coming up to the screens nearby. Once his blue eyes caught sight of what was displayed, his heart dropped.

On their sensors was a large blinking light, heading straight towards Earth. It seemed to be going so fast that their sensors couldn't get an exact measurement.

"If that hits, it could kill millions!" A frantic scientist exclaimed.

"It's estimated trajectory is straight towards Japan!" Another cried.

Seto slammed his hand down. "Everyone calm down! Panicking won't do anything!" He snapped.

The group went silent, looking at the young man with worry. After his outburst, Seto's darkened eyes went back to staring at the sensor.

If that hits… It will kill millions.. It could start a tsunami or worse natural disasters...It will kill Mokuba… Seto realized.

Hopelessness filled him, but then… Something on the sensor caught his attention. The object would fly right past their space station… It was extremely close to them.

His hand curled into a fist, and resolve began to fill him. Seto knew what he had to do.

"All of you, take the elevator back down," He ordered, causing them all to hesitate. "Now!" He barked.

They quickly scrambled to follow his orders except for one. An older woman with grayish black hair. Her dark eyes watched him, softly asking,"What are you going to do?"

Seto's throat suddenly felt tight, his whole body boy shaking as he turned to her and, in a cracking voice, answered,"What I have to."

Seto turned back around, listening to the sound of the elevator closing. Once it came back up, he moved into action.

His shaking hand slammed down on the emergency button. The blaring alarm sounded again as all the doors began to close and lock tight.

Then, after taking frantic breaths, he declared,"Computer, disconnect the space elevator."

The computer followed orders easily, and Seto could hear the hiss of air as the elevator was detached. The next part, however, Seto had to do manually.

He began pressing several buttons and controls, watching the sensor carefully. He navigated the now mobile station in front of the flaming object's path.

The sensor was blaring madly, there was a bright light coming closer to him. Seto stared right at it, his hand reached to his chest and clutching at his necklace.

He flicked it open one last time, staring at the image of his little brother. "Mokuba…" He whispered,"I'm sorry…"

He shut the locket, holding it close to his chest, and closing his darkened eyes.

Only seconds later, a blinding hot pain hit, and everything faded away…

People on the ground stared up in horror; the explosion was large enough to be seen in the sky. But, nothing came to hit Earth. Seto Kaiba had saved them all.

Mere minutes after the impact, a frantic voice could be heard. "Where is he!? Where is Seto!?" The young voice yelled.

Mokuba shoved his way through the crowd frantically, eyes on the crowd of white lab coats he saw near the elevator.

With determination growing, Mokuba shoved aside the last obstacle and ran up to the Kaiba Corp researches.

"Hey!" He yelled again,"Where's Seto!?"

Their faces all turned pale, and then became darkened. Mokuba's heart began to try and break through his chest, years tumbling down his cheeks.

"Where is he!?" He yelled once more,"WHERE'S MY BIG BROTHER!?"

One of the older researchers moved forward, placing her hands on his shoulders. "Mokuba…" She softly began,"Mr. Kaiba is the one who piloted the station in front of the object. He saved us all..."

The young boy's heart dropped, and everything around him faded away. He dropped to his knees, staring at nothing in particular.

"No… No…" He croaked,"It.. Seto… Why?"

The child descended into sobs, and those around him desperately tried to comfort the young one. Nothing worked; Mokuba would never be whole again.

His big brother was gone, and this time he wasn't coming back.

He was floating… Floating in the middle of the air. In his fading vision, he saw little red droplets in the air.. Floating around him.

He felt a throbbing, and yet at the same time he was so… So numb. Is this what death feels like? He wondered.

Breathing was starting to become difficult, as the black fuzz began to crawl up his vision. The glass in front of him began cracking more. Even if he was in his right mind, there would be no time to come up with an escape plan.

Not that he cared, he had already accepted his death.

As the black began to close in once more, a bright light shone over him. With what little air he had, the young man chuckled. So this is how it ends…

With really no other options, his darkened blue eyes slid shut. Just as he began to fade away, several silhouettes appeared in front of the light, staring through the glass right at him. But he had no chance to react, as the darkness took him once more.
