Chapter 2: Gathering allies

"Now, Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, attack his Life Points directly! Ultimate Burst"

The big white three-headed dragon fired a blast hitting the duel computer and crashing it.

"Nice one, big bro!" yelled Mokuba from the computer room.

Seto smiled at his little brother and took a look at his three Blue-Eyes White Dragons. "This new deck of mine is getting better and better. It's the third time I've beaten the Duel Computer, but it's still not enough. I need to beat him without losing a single Life Point. Only this way I can consider myself ready to duel Yugi again" thought KaibaCorp's CEO while putting the three Blue-Eyes White Dragons in his deck and shuffling it "All right, Mokuba. Another try!"

No answer came. "Mokuba?"

"Big brother!"

Seto turned and saw his little brother caught by a tall man with a purple vest. The man hit Mokuba's head and made him faint "Just who the hell do you think you are?!" yelled the CEO at the intruder "How dare you do this to my brother. Release him!"

"I'm afraid I can't" said the man "My name is Heishin and I need your brother as a sacrifice"

"Sacrifice?!"

"Indeed. The sacrifice for DarkNite's revival!"

Seto didn't understand a thing the intruder said. "What are you babbling about? Revival? Phew, it's just plain hocus pocus. Leave my brother or I'll force you to do it!"

"Go to Egypt at the Ancient Shrine. You're brother will be there with me" said Heishin with a evil smile "But better for you to come as fast as possible, because for each minute he will stay with me as a offering the more his life will be drained by DarkNite"

After those last words Heishin disappeared, taking Mokuba along with him.

"Mokuba!" cried Seto.

"What?! Stolen?!"

"That's right, Jonouchi" answered Yugi "The God Cards had been stolen and I need you in order to retrieve them"

"No problem, pal" smirked Jonouchi "You know I always watch your back"

"We'll come to" said Anzu referring to herself and Honda "You'll need as much support as possible"

"Of course" smiled Yugi "Thank you, guys"

The four boys smiled at each other, and at that time Yugi's phone rang. "Who's there?" asked the boy.

"Yugi! Come here at KaibaCorp! Now!" then the conversation died.

"Was that Kaiba?" asked Jonouchi with an annoyed look.

"How do you know?"

"He yelled so hard I heard his obnoxious voice. What should we do?"

"Kaiba's kind of an asshole, but never shouts at people" noticed Honda "I think some stuff it's going on"

"Yeah, I agree with you" said Yugi "Let's check out what he wants"

While the gang started walking a shadowed figure started to follow them.

"Something's fishy here" thought the figure "I can't allow anyone to interfere with my plans of taking over the world"

The four friends stared at KaibaCorp's building: last time they went there was for the RA Project, but fortunately, there were no Card Professors this time… they hoped.

After entering they saw Kaiba at the centre of the main room carrying his usual briefcase with a very scary scowl printed on his face.

"Wow, it's more intimidating than ever" thought Jonouchi at the sight of Seto's face.

"You decided to take the deadbeat as well" noticed Kaiba after glancing for a second at Jonouchi "Better for us, because I might need more help as possible this time… not that he's so much of a help anyway"

"What did you say to me, rich boy?!" yelled Jonouchi ready to throw a punch at the CEO before being grabbed by Honda.

"What happened?" asked Yugi.

"Some random guy appeared while I was doing a simulation and kidnapped my little brother" explained Seto, his face turning a little bit sadder than angry "He said that he needed my brother's life for the rebirth of a certain DarkNite"

Yugi and the others gasped at that. At the same time the nameless Pharaoh came out from the Sennen Puzzle.

"I now know why you called us, Kaiba" said the Pharaoh.

"To quote him: 'You're very familiar to mystic stuff and folkloristic doing'" said a voice.

Everyone turned to their left and saw two guys looking at them: they had light blue hair and cold eyes; the only thing that differed them was the fact that one of them was wearing a black coat, while the other was wearing a pink one.

"Yako! Gekko!" cried Yugi and Jonouchi smiling.

The Tenma twins smiled at them as a hello. Anzu stepped back a little because of her "experience" she had with Yako and waved shyly while the others gave them high fives.

"What brings you here?" asked Jonouchi.

"The same thing that brought you here" answered Gekko.

"I made a few researches" said Yako with a sad tone "If we don't stop Heishin from reviving DarkNite, he can easily take over the world"

Dark Yugi growled. "We need to move as fast as possible"

"Might if I join as well?"

Everyone turning sawing Dark Bakura in front of the main room, the Sennen Ring glowing.

"Bakura!" gasped Dark Yugi.

"What's he doing here?" asked Jonouchi.

"Let's say we have a common enemy" said Dark Bakura grinning "I do have a few plans of my own, you know. DarkNite could be an obstacle for my mission"

"Your mission?" asked Dark Yugi.

"Don't worry, you'll know when the time comes" said Dark Bakura with an evil smile "Anyway, can I join or not?"

"I feel a evil presence in him" thought Yako while watching the boy "Should we trust him?"

"Very well" said Kaiba surprising everyone and widening Dark Bakura's smile "As long as you don't pull any funny business you can come as well. We'll take off in ten minutes. Get ready!"
