Chapter 2

Yugi and his friends (except Otogi, he went back home) arrived at Kaiba Corp shortly after getting into the car. They arrived at a familiar site with the three Blue Eyes White dragon statues in front of the entrance. One of the bodyguards was there to greet them, "I'm glad to see that you were all able to arrive. I will take you to see master Kaiba."

The bodyguard took the group up the elevator up to Seto's office. There he was wearing a lab coat instead of his usual getup. Without even bothering to say "hello" he immediately started to explain his situation to Yugi, "Yugi, there's a lot to cover, so I'll cut right to the chase. Last night, a group of assassins broke into the building and killed a good number of the guards."

His statement immediately caught the group by surprise. Jonouchi felt the need to interrupt Seto upon hearing his statement, "What?! You mean someone almost took your life. How the heck did that happen?" Anzu followed up Jonouchi's words with, "Why would anybody try to kill you."

Kaiba kept his serious expression as he answered their questions, "It should be no surprise that a man of stature would attract numerous enemies unlike you deadbeats." Ignoring Jonouchi and Hondra's frustrated reactions he continued with, "As for how they broke in, it turned out there was a traitor amongst my company. My bodyguards captured him and made him talk, apparently they're part of a terrorist organization known as "X.K.C."

Yugi pondered to himself for a moment, X.K.C…, "Wait a minute..!" Kaiba answered Yugi's question before he had a chance to ask, "That's right, Ex Kaiba Corp. Since you already know about my past, it's not hard to figure out their goals. I'm lucky to have made it out alive last time."

"Kaiba, this sounds like serious stuff, but I have to ask…" Yugi put his hand to his chest before he finished his question, "Why did you call us? I know you wouldn't have asked for our assistance unless it involved the supernatural. Like back when the other Yugi was still with us."

Seto grimaced for a moment, of course it wasn't too surprising that Yugi would pick up between the lines and he had to tell them about it eventually. "There's no easy way to explain this to you I need to show you." He turned towards the elevator and motioned for the others to follow him, "I'll take you to the testing grounds."

~Meanwhile~

A woman with long black hair and sharp eyes and wearing what appears to be a lab coat was expressing irritation at the lack of any response from her agents, "We still haven't gotten a response from any of the men we sent out and no word from our double agent, did Kaiba somehow manage to intercept them." The woman was the leader of X.K.C. she used to be one of the top managers at the company back when Gozaboro was in charge. The fact that the once powerful weapons facility and weapons research was thrown away for games frustrated her.

"Your plan was foiled Gillian by a thing called "magic"." The leader (who's name was Gillian) immediately turned around to see a well-dressed man wearing heavy mascara.

"Who the hell are you?!" Gillian was frustrated enough with none of her plans going well that the sudden appearance of some weirdo was NOT what she needed right now. "Why I'm just a mysterious messenger here tell you about how you can recover your lost goods."

Gillian was still suspicious of the man but she was so determined to "recover" Kaiba Corp that she was willing to give it a pass. "A way to recover Kaiba Corp, well hurry up and tell me what I should do!"

The mysterious man smirked, "Ah yes, I know a way. Now listen carefully."

~Back at Kaiba Corp~

As they arrived at the duel testing grounds there was a sight that immediately caught everyone's attention. Honda was the first to speak up, "Hey look, it's Mokuba and the Blue Eyes White Dragon!"

Just like he said, there was the dragon, laying in the middle of the room. Mokuba was petting the creature and the group could have sworn that it looked like the dragon was enjoying it. The group were confused, "Why is Mokuba petting him. Isn't it just a hologram?" Anzu asked.

At that point the dragon awoke and narrowed its eyes at Anzu in what appears to be an annoyed fashion, freaking. Kaiba took a deep breath before answering her question. "Because that beast isn't a hologram." His answer caused the group to wince and upon looking around the room noticed numerous marks that fit the dragon's claws as Kaiba continued his. "Also, it's a she."
