A/N: Just wanted to try something a little different based on the concept "what if this happened?". Plus, I'm trying to get my inspiration back for finishing my two multi-chapters. This takes place at the end of the "Flight of Fear"(episode 23) but with a twist. Hope you enjoy and remember I do not accept FLAMES! Also, I'll only type and upload the second part if I see people actually interested in this. I'm thinking this may have been a waste of time, but I do hope to be proven wrong.
Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh!, nor do I own episode 23 of season 4: Flight of Fear. I only own the plot twist of Dartz's interference.
Part 1: Nigh Death
XxXxXxXxXx
A titanous, black dragon, known as "The Fang of Critias", had just been summoned to the sky and hovered right above a smaller, light blue dragon, also known as "Blue-eyes White Dragon". The tall, blue-eyed brunette informed he was merging his "Tyrant Wing" trap card with his new dragon to form "Tyrant Burst Dragon". As he said this, the "Tyrant Wing" that he had given to his "Blue-eyes" the turn before disappeared and formed on "Critias", causing his new dragon's wings to expand and glow a bright white. Then the duelist merged his "Blue-eyes" with the "Tyrant Burst Dragon" to then form "Blue-eyes Tyrant Dragon". The new blue-eyed beast snarled as it appeared in front of its owner.
"Now, my 'Blue-eyes'!" The brunette shouted, pointing his forefinger at the three opposing monsters, two "Robot Tokens" and a weird, robotic creature with a few legs, known as "Spell Canceller". "Destroy all three of his monsters!"
Following his master's command, the humongous light blue dragon with glowing white wings, roared and shot out a beam of blue and white mixed light destroying its targets and reducing the rest of their master's 1000 Life Points to zero. The redhead opened his gray eyes and stared in disappointment at the duelist whom just defeated him. "It worked, you win."
The green circle, The Seal of Orichalcos, brought the two duelists back down, from the roof, into the KaibaCorp plane, the circle getting smaller until it was only directly under the red headed duelist. A young boy with long, black hair ran to the losing duelist whom was down on one knee with his head hung low, his eyes staring at the floor.
"Oh no! That thing is going to take his soul, Seto! We have to do something, quick!" But Seto Kaiba only stared down at his opponent, not moving to help like his little brother was adamant about.
Alister looked up in sorrow as the raven-haired boy reached him, the Orichalcos symbol glowing on his forehead. But instead of seeing the younger Kaiba brother, the boy changed to a much younger boy, who looked a little similar to Alister, with short, red hair and gray eyes. As he saw this new kid, Alister asked out loud, "Mikey, is that you?" He then saw the younger version of himself walk up to Mikey and hand him a toy action figure. The boy took it and smiled as Alister said, "It's about time I gave this back to you, bro."
Mikey, still smiling, said, "Thanks Alister."
Alister returned the smile as he responded back, "No sweat."
It was at this moment the seal lit up, sending a green light upwards. Alister grunted, his face contorted in pain, as another light, this one white, shot up from his skull, the latter being his very soul separating from his body. Such is the consequence of losing a duel that the Seal of Orichalcos was played in.
"Alister, no!" Kaiba's younger brother shouted in anguish. No matter what all Alister had put him and his big brother through, he couldn't help but feel bad for Alister. After all, Alister thought he was justified for his actions because of what the Kaibas' stepfather, Gozaburo, had done to Alister's home land and caused the tragic accident of his own little brother, Mikey. The adolescent could only imagine the great lengths his older brother, Seto, would go to had the elder been in Alister's position. He rushed over to Alister's side following the young man collapsing on the ground. He picked up the broken and charred-looking "Dyna Dude" action figure Alister always carried, the one that used to belong to Mikey.
"He's gone… I guess the seal captured him." The young boy thought out loud.
The entire time, up to Alister's unconsciousness, Seto just stood still, not having moved in the slightest, and only staring at Alister, devoid of any emotion. Suddenly, the plane began shaking violently as it began increasing its rapid descent to the planet's surface. Panicked, he called, "Mokuba, wait here for me!"
"Seto—" Mokuba began but his brother was already heading up the stairs to the cockpit.
The elder Kaiba grabbed the yoke(the lever to control the plane's altitude) and began pulling on it. "I'll save him, I won't let my brother get hurt no matter what! Do you hear me Alister? This plane won't crash!" He pulled the yoke towards himself as hard as he could but the plane's nose was still diving straight for the ground.
As soon as he pulled on the lever, however, his duel disk, specifically his deck, glowed a very bright white. Down below, on the surface, Yami Yugi's deck and disk did the exact same thing as Kaiba's, and not too far from him and Téa was Joey and Tristan, a soulless Rex Raptor riding on Joey's back. Joey's disk and deck glowed too, and shot a white light upwards into the sky, a second light from Yami Yugi's disk meeting the light from Joey's. The two lights were joined together with a third light that shot down from the plummeting aircraft.
The lights ascended quickly and changed to reveal the Three Legendary Dragons: The Eye of Timaeus, The Fang of Critias, and The Claw of Hermos. Hermos and Critias flew under the plane's wings while Timaeus grabbed the top of the plane. Kaiba was still pulling with every force he could muster, worry etched on his face as he struggled to get the plane to change its course.

Meanwhile, as soon as Alister lost the duel but before the Legendary Dragons brought forth their aid...
A tall man with real long, blue hair and wearing a purple suit was sitting at a long table facing a gigantic screen. The screen displayed a duel on a plane having just ended, and the loser losing his soul to a green circle.
"So," A sinister voice spoke to an empty room. "Alister failed on capturing the soul of one of The Chosen Duelists." He stood up abruptly and made his way to another room adjacent to the one he was in. "But, it's like they say: if you want something done, you have to do it yourself."
Kneeling in the middle of a weird star, the same star-like shape of The Seal of Orichalcos, this new person, who goes by the name of Dartz, put one hand in front of his face, his forefinger pointing straight up while his thumb pointed towards his face, the rest of his fingers curled into his palm. With eyes closed, he opened his mouth and began chanting while beginning to glow a bright green.
"Spirits of the Orichalcos, hear thy servant! Activate the stone resting on the fallen duelist! Have thy seal absorb one more soul, to make up for the fallen one's failure!" It doesn't really matter who the seal takes next; Seto Kaiba will be either feeding the Great Leviathan, as is his destiny, or he will be left a broken man, too weak to stop me from capturing him, and the others, later. Meh heh hah ha hah ha!
