Power: By Seto Kaiba

Summary: Three Reporters go undercover to write an article and end up in a more dangerous situation than they ever realised. Malik, Ryou, Yuugi, Seto.

The Global World™ presents: POWER- By Seto Kaiba, Chief Editor.

It was a grim situation that three people found themselves in. Finding the courage to go undercover in a potentially dangerous situation is brave. Finding courage to face a dangerous, depressing and monotonous situation with bare threads of hope is braver still.

It is a heartless editor indeed who would not feel guilt, remorse over sending their employees into such an unstable situation. But this particular editor feels a deep anger as well as my great burden of sorrow and guilt.

I owe a debt to the Motou family, one that I can never repay.

Malik Ishtar and Ryou Bakura are free men once more.

So is Yuugi Motou, in a fashion.

After surviving a war zone, after spending time in poverty stricken countries raising funds, after serving THIS NATION for years as a reporter of the strict truth, Yuugi Motou was murdered.

Murdered by the staff at Kuraskyuro Asylum.

On June 11th, at 12.34pm, Yuugi Motou was given a fatal dosage of Phenyl Aran, a compound he had previously told doctors he was allergic to. On another occasion he had protested after being dosed with it and ignored, he had been given tranquilisers, as in this situation. Doctors did not realise he was deceased until 3 hours later. Global World™reporters, employees, family members and guards were forcibly removed from the Asylum by Police after campaigning for their release on the previous day.

Police are investigating the Asylum and any charges laid will be manslaughter. I want that charge upgraded to murder. The Asylum has been closed temporarily and all patients are undergoing reviews at another Asylum. Health minister Kevin Lee has declared there will be an investigation into this. Fantastic… but way too late. The health minister, our representative, should have interceded way before the death count began.

Kevin Lee, answer to a Widow and three fatherless children. Answer to many more families who have patients in there. Kevin Lee, by ignoring the problem, by pretending it would go away, you caused his death as surely as I did. But at least I tried to prevent it.

I will feel this guilt, this weight on my conscience, this knowledge- for the rest of my life. I knew Yuugi Motou well. A man who always had time to 'hang out' with his children, who was always interested in community support (indeed helping to install a children's park and family facilities in the Sherren area) and a man who sought out truth and righteousness. He never lowered himself to writing spiteful articles about celebrities and the like, instead he was out where the trouble was, attempting to fix problems.

The Motou family sponsored 3 children, 2 in Kenya, one in Somalia, and Yuugi instigated proceedings for fundraising so a well, a teacher and basic aid could be installed in a Kenyan village where families were decimated by disease and sickness.

Yuugi Motou is survived by his wife of 16 years, Alyssa Motou and their three children. His funeral is on June 15th, Redeny Gardens, at 12.00pm. Friends and supporters welcome, an area will be set out for fans and support. Ryou Bakura, Malik Ishtar and I are among the many that will pay tribute.

To Yuugi and family, I cannot express my sorrow. If I could call you back Yuugi, if I could have gone into that facility instead of you, if I could turn back time itself – I would. Unfortunately, the 'all powerful' Kaiba legacy is not that powerful. I will regret this every day of my life and not for one minute will I forget you. I respected and admired you as a reporter, enjoyed seeing your fantastic relationship with your family and community and will endeavour to live to the high standards you always set.

I am Sorry.

So Sorry.

The End
