"So how exactly are we going to fix this in thirty minutes when you dont even have the cure?" Asked Joey.
"Thats just it, If it were that easy then I wouldnt need all of you now would I? In thirty minutes anyone here in Domino who decides to take a sip of water turns into a monster, and whoever that blood hungry monster bites turns into a monster as well. Its going to take more than thirty minutes. Probably days, maybe weeks. I suspect that we may be the only ones left if we even survive at all. Luckily, when I do get the cure, we just have to find the main source. But no matter what, people will die by our hand. If we dont kill them, then they will kill us." Seto explained.
"But they said that Mokuba will be the first of perfection, what if we accidentally kill-" Tea was cut off.
An unsteady Kaiba spoke quietly "Dont you think ive already thought about that? I know its a risk, one that I may or may not be willing to take. But in any case, Me and one other peson are the only people who know of these plans, well you guys as well now. Were the only hope left for this world once again. Even if they dont realize it."
"First things first, we need guns. And I know where to get them." Seto said almost bitterly.
The group of five proceeded to Setos personal car. Where they took backroads to a remote location on the outskirts of the city.
"Seto Kaiba has not yet been found, we now highly suspect that he is guilty of killing the five men found in Domino Library earlier today. Investigators are searching for him as we speak. If you find him please contact the police. Do not approach him, he may be armed and dangerous." Kaiba turned the radio off and looked at his watch as he parked outside of what looked to be some broken down apartment buildings.
"Twenty minutes, thats all weve got. Go in, choose your weapons, get plenty of ammo, and well meet back here as soon as possible." He sternly demanded.
Everyone exited the car and made there way up to one of the doors that go into the building. A gold number 2 was hanging off of a faded and chipped maroon door. Seto knocked loudly "Yo Arizona, open up." he yelled.
The door handle shook from someone fiddling with it from the other side. It slowly opened up to a man, he had to be only about Kaibas age but showed it much more in his grunge clothing. He was very tan, with dark brown corn rows and thick-rimmed glasses. He was covered in tattoos from his neck, and to the end of his hands and legs. "Well would you look at what the cat dragged in? Thought Id never get to see my bestfriend again." The man said sarcastically.
They both stared for a moment at eachother, almost as if they were seeing if looks really could kill, and who would die first.
After a moment of this staring contest, a gleaming smile lit both their faces and they enveloped one another into a friendly hug.
"Its been years dude, I cant believe it, you dont call, text, write. But I guess thats something I should expect from some bigshot CEO huh?" The tan young man mocked.
"You know exactly why I try to keep my distance from you, the news would be all over that. And I dont want your family bussiness to tumble to the ground. Anyways, weve been best friends since we were five, im pretty sure that us not talking isnt going to make us any less then that." Seto replied.
"Yeah, friends for life bro, you always had my back right when I needed you, so I guess its my turn to return the favor. Whats going on man? You need guns? You look like your thirsty for some blood." The man named Arizona asked.
Kaiba chuckled uneasily "Hopefully I wont be thirsty for any blood anytime soon.. Look Ive only got about twenty minutes. I need as many weapons as I can fit in my car and on these guys behind me." Seto pointed at Yugi and his gang.
"Alright then lets get to it." Setos friend said, motioning us to come in. And what looked like an old raggedy apartment building on the outside, seemed to look exactly the same on the inside. Until you entered the all too secret, all too raggedy looking door leading to what could be described as the biggest arsenal collection of all time.
Turns out that this long building of five one story apartments was actually a hollowed out shell of a building. Which consisted of a shitty living room as a disguise. And then walls and walls of every possible gun you could possibly think of.
If only Joey couldve found some way to fit that gatling gun into his backpack...
"So Seto, are you going to tell me whats going on?" Arizona asked, stopping Kaiba before he could make his leave.
"Listen, you know me better then anyone in this entire world knows me, even my own brother. You know secrets from my past that I wouldnt dare to tell Mokuba. Lets just say that something that we thought we had stopped a long time ago, we only riled up and angered, and now there out to personally break me, and take the world because thats what they think they deserve. The world, an army of followers. They think that they are a fucking god when they arent even comparable to a human being. I have to stop this. But its going to get worse before it gets better Arizona, much worse. So watch your back, I know you can take care of youself. And for the sake of my sanity, please please keep yourself alive." Seto explained before exiting the building and walking to his car.
But before he could get there he was stopped once again by his best friend "Look if this is about your Dad Se-"
"DONT talk about him. Hes an evil man, who went so far as to attempt to experiment on his own child. Im not going to let that happen to Mokuba again, hes not going to be one of those sick monsters, at least not for long. The old mans mind is fading with his age. Ill find the cure, save my brother, and kill that fucker who I have the burden of having to call my father. I shouldve stopped this a long time ago." Seto was pained by his own words.
"I love you man, your like a brother to me, and you always will be." Arizona said, placing a hand gently on Kaibas shoulder.
"Dont drink the water Arizona." Seto said, looking back just one more time at his life long friend before getting into his car where the rest of the group was waiting, taking a moment of silence, the last moment of peace that he feared hed have for awhile. Before starting his car up and beginning his journey.
"What was that all about?" Asked Tristan.
"Just talking about old times." Seto said blankly
"You two looked pretty sad for talking about old times." Replied Tristan
"Just because theyre old doesnt mean they were happy." Seto said before turning the radio on and mentally trying to figure out some plan of action.
