MasakiSora-chan: Well, we all know that Sara is a bit in a pinch right now. Just how is she going to get out of it?
Catherine: Why do you ask that? You're the author so you know!
MasakiSora-chan: Well, you got a point there.
Téa: She is going to win, right Sora-chan?
MasakiSora-chan: Why don't you just read on?
The Outcome of the family war
Last time:
Sara looked to the ground. "He is controlling my deck. There is nothing I can do. I'm done, they will get our company and shut it down for good." She clenched her wrists. She didn't want to think about giving up, but what else would be there to do?
Would Zigfried finally be successful in getting KaibaCorp.?
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"You can't be serious! Don't tell me this is the best you can do!"
Saras head shot up. While Michael didn't seem to understand, Zigfried's eyes narrowed.
"Did you hear that guys?" Cloe asked.
"Yeah, I'm sure I know that voice." Tristan said.
"Could it be?" Téa asked slowly. She looked at Catherine who seemd to be somewhere else.
The stranger went on. "You're a Kaiba, aren't you? So go and show this creep where he belongs – he is just a van Schoeder after all!"
Sara couldn't believe her ears. "That can't be true." She thought. "But if it's real or not he is right. I don't want mom's and aunt Cloe's attemps to get our family back to be in vain and I know I can beat this freak and I will do it now."
Sara didn't have to look at her cards, she felt it. Because of the rings effect her Red-Eyes Black Chick went to the grave.
"As you can't do more, I suppose you're ending your turn." Michael suggested.
"And I think you're deadly wrong." Sara said in her cold tone she had in herited from her father.
"What?"
"I activate my Spell Card: Gracefull Charity!" She said, holding up her card. "It was a big mistake letting me have this card Michael, but obviously you had no other choice. Now I can draw three new cards but therefore I have to discard two."
Her next cards were Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Element Dragon and the card she needed: Monster Reborn. "I discard these two."
"Your Blue-Eyes White Dragon?" Michael asked a bit surprised.
"Yeah, but I have one question for you Michael. Did you hear that voice just a few moments ago?"
"Of course I heard it. But that doesn't matter. You can't win this duel. Even your Blue-Eyes White Dragons are powerless against my sword."
"And again you are mistaken."Sara told him.
"What are you talking about?"
"You're as dense as your father, Michael. None of you is able to mess with us. So this round of the fightings between our families is again ending in our win." She went on.
"What the hell are you talking about? You're bluffing, right?"
"Do you honestly believe what you just said? I'm not really in the position of bluffing right now, am I?"
Now Michael gritted his teeth.
"To begin with your distruction I activate my Spell Card Monster Reborn."
"What does that do you any good? You only have weak monsters in your graveyard. And I told you my sword makes every dragon meaningless so your Blue-Eyes won't be able to even attack." Michael asked.
"I'm totally aware of that. That's why I'm bringing back Red-Eyes Black Chick."
Michael knitted an eyebrow but didn't say anything.
"Thanks to your plan of destroying my deck rather then attacking me, my Thyone #2 is still on the field. You were so bussy with taking away all my high-level monsters that you forgot that there is also another method to bring strong monsters onto the field. So I'm not sure, but you have heard about Synchro Monsters, didn't you?"
Now Michaels eyes widened in recognation.
"Therefore I firstly play my Tuner-monster White Stone of Legend from my hand and tune it with my LV 6 Tyhone #2 and LV 1 Red-Eyes Black Chick to Synchro Summon – Reborn of Blue-Eyes White Dragon!" She called.
Michael relaxed a bit. "It's no use. Your dragon may be strong but he is still a dragon and therefore useless against my sword as I told you many times."
"Who says that I'm done?"
Michael looked at her with disbelieving eyes.
"I activate the Special Ability of my Dragon – Dragon's Scream."
"And what does that do?"
"Haven't you seen my duel just a few minutes ago? Firstly it cuts my Life Points in half but then it brings the rest of his family onto the field. Come – my four Blue-Eyes White Dragons!"
Her dragon roarded, then her deck, disk and coat began to glow before there were four beams of light and with a loud roar and a blow of their wings, they appeared.
"Now I have all 5 White Dragons on the field." Sara said a smirk returning on her face.
"Now that's the Sara we know." Joey told the others.
"Yeah, but thanks to the Special Ability of my Valkyrie Brunhilde, she gains 400 points for each Dragon and Warrior on the field, so her ATK points are 5000, which is more than your dragons have." Michael said.
"Then why don't you double-check your field?" Sara asked.
Michael stepped back in fear. Not only did his monsters Attack points drop back to it's Original State – 1800 - but also als his Spells were layed back face-down.
"How is that possible?" He asked.
"Honestly I thought dumbness had a limit but obviously I am wrong in that point, because then you would know that when all 4 Blue-eyes are all together Special Summoned, until the End Phase of this turn, you can't use any Spells, Traps or Monster Effects, which means your sword isn't a threat anymore. And now it is time to end this and show you the place you belong. Go my White Dragons: fivefold Burststream of Destruction!"
The dragons could not be asked a second time. Their attack grew together into one white stream – and with a total Attack Power of 15 000 – it destroyed Michael's monsters and afterwards hit his Life Points directly. But as Sara wanted to show him that she had the upper hand, she layed a bit of her soul in the attack, which threw Michael on the ground and made him slide across the floor.
"You're a shame Michael." Zigfried told his son. He didn't seem to even want to help him up.
"That was the only right thing you said today, Zigfried." The strange voice from before said.
Zigfied turned his head in the direction it came from, he smirked while closing his eyes. Then he said: "If you have something to tell me, why don't you just come out –" he opended his eyes again "- Kaiba?"
"Did he just say Kaiba?" Rua asked his friends.
"Does that mean he is talking about Seto Kaiba?" Yanagi added.
"What does that mean, Director?" Yaeger asked Goodwin paniced. The whole crowd didn't believe their ears and on the stairs Catherine seemed to be lost in space.
Everyone knew that Seto Kaiba had vanished 11 years ago – together with his brother Mokuba.
They could hear footsteps; Sara looked up at the entrance with suspicious eyes.
"Could it really be?" She thought desperately.
Then a man walked into the sunlight. He was tall, had short brown hair and ice blue eyes. But it were his clothes: a white coat, similar to the one Sara was wearing, a black sleeve with long arms , black trousers, a belt with the KC Logo on it, gloves on his arms and legs and a duel monsters card hung around his neck. But the weardest thing was, that as he was in fact 48 years old he still looked very handsome. He looked derogatory upon Zigfried.
"I thought I got rid of you 27 years ago, Zigfried." He said coldly.
"Nice to see you too, Kaiba." Zigfried answered.
Michael looked unbelieving at the former CEO of Kaiba Corp., while Sara couldn't really wrap her thoughts about what was right in front of her.
"Dad, you're back. I don't believe it." She said gladly.
"Now get lost Zigfried. I already told you that I never want to see you again."
"But there is one problem Kaiba. You're not in the position of throwing me out." Zigfried meant.
Seto smirked. "Zigfried, you're in the Kaiba Stadium, you know. This was built from me and even if I'm not the CEO in the moment, I'm still the owner of Kaiba Dome and therefore I have every right to throw you out. So get lost before I have to call my men." He told him.
"You liar. You're not in charge of Kaiba Corp at the moment!"
"I would be sorry for your stupidy Zigfried, but I already told you, I may not be the CEO but I'm still the owner of Kaiba Dome. I took care of that myself and I know what I am doing."
Then he spoke into the microphone in his coat. "Roland, send me some security men, it seems Zigfried doesn't want to leave on his own."
"They are on their way Mr. Kaiba." Roland answered.
Only seconds later three men of Security escorted Zigfried and his son out of the stadium.
Meanwhile Sara turned towards her father.
"Dad, I still can't believe it. You're back, I mean, 11 years are just too much." She fought against the tears that were nearly bursting out and she knew she couldn't hold them back much longer.
"And you sure have grown big since the last time I saw you." Seto said with a rare softness in his voice.
With a last sniff Sara threw herself at her father who gently wrapped his arms around her.
"It's good to be back." He whispered in her ear and that was when Sara didn't care anymore about the tears that flew down her cheeck.
She was just too happy to have her father back.
"Seto!"
The former CEO of KaibaCorp. let go of his daughter and turned around as another pair of arms flew around his neck.
"I missed you so much, Seto." Catherine snuggled into his chest.
"I missed you too." He answered and held her tight.
Sara wiped her tears away by the site of it.
"Look who we have there, rich boy is finally back." Joey teased while rubbing his nose as sign that he was also moved that Kaiba was back.
"See who it is, Yugi, the underdog and the rest of the dweeb patrol." Seto muttered.
"You haven't changed a bit, Kaiba. But we are all glad that you are back." Yugi countered.
"Whatever." His rival answered, then he slung his arm around Catherines shoulder and together they left the duelling platform.
Before entering the hallway Seto looked a last time up to Goodwin with an evil glare. It went without asking what he was thinking about.
In the corridor they finally met another familiar figure.
"Uncle Mokuba!" Sara cried out and nearly knocked him off the ground as she threw herself at him.
"Hey, Sara, watch out!" Mokuba shouted in surprise but he caught them right before they could fall.
"Mokuba, you are also back. What a relief." Téa said with a nearly unaudible voice.
"Yeah, we are both back." Mokuba answered and smiled.
"By the way, why did Goodwin realise you guys anyway?" Tristan asked and everybody else seemed to have the same question in mind.
"Not sure, but they said something like they wouldn't need to restrain us anymore." Mokuba answered.
Catherine quirked an eyebrow. "Does that mean he got what he wanted and we get KaibaCorp. back?"
"Don't know so let's just go, the duels for today are finished. We don't need to be here anymore." Seto said in his usual cold tone.
But as they were about to leave they heard the MC speak again: "Everybody listen! It seems that the first day of the Fortune Cup is not finished yet. Mr. Goodwin just told me that we will have a Consolation Match where two losers of the first round will get a new chance. Of course those two will be randomly selected!"
Four pictures of the loseres from the first round were shown and Sara frowned. What the heck was Goodwin thinking? One finalist more meant that it wouldn't count up anymore.
The screen with the four duelists, who had lost in their first round were shown.
Then they showed the result of the drawing: The first one to duel was Professor Frank and the other one was Ruka.
Had Goodwin regonized that it had been Rua dueling instead of Ruka? Just what was his aim?
MasakiSora-chan: Well, there are some things I have to say:
Hopefully the family reunion wasn't too overdone but I just had to write it.
The dialogues with the DM characters are obviously from the dubbed version because I mostly watched them in German.
Catherine: I just realize, wouldn't Roland be too old for this job now?
MasakiSora-chan: Probably, nevertheless, I just can't imagine Seto working without Roland. And before I forget it: Don't forget to review! ; )
