Invasion of the Cyberworld

Kilnorc: I thought I'd finally TRY and update this fanfic at least ONCE...
Kairi sweatdropped as she watched Klavier laughed his head off at the situation. He had recently just turned one of the Slayer's friends into a girl instead of actually turning or killing him.
"Okay, I'm lost, why did you turn him into a girl?" she asked slowly, rubbing her eyes, "That makes no sense,"
"Perhaps," Klavier chuckled as he brought himself down, "But it changes things up, and I love to change things up. If no one does that, then life is boring. Believe me, I know,"
"But why a girl?"
Klavier shot her a glance, grinning knowingly, "Would you have preferred...oh, I don't know...Vic Mignogna?"
Kairi's face began to turn a bright shade of red, "W-What? I-I don't...I don't know...aw, screw you, Klav!" she turned on her heels and headed out of the room.
The older villain chuckled, "Definitely a change of pace around here. Now, I wonder how the Slayer and her friends are holding up with their recent change?"
"I am not going back to that school!" Duke, or rather Aya, muttered as she plopped onto Brian's couch after school, "I must've gotten my ass squeezed like a hundred times before lunch!"
"Hm, consider yourself a good girl then," Brian said with a mouthful of pizza, books under his arm, "But you're still going. I didn't hack into that place's computers just for one day, Duchess,"
Duke shot him a deathglare.
"Alright, alright, enough," Tea sighed as she sat down at the table in his apartment, "Brian, have you gotten any word yet from the Council?"
"Yeah, as a matter of fact, I have," Brian swallowed his pizza, "They're sending one of their best witches, if not the best witch they have at their disposal. You'll all like her, she's very sweet, but don't cross her, you wouldn't like her when she's angry,"
"Why, what's she do, turn green and grow out of her clothes?" Duke snorted.
"No, she can actually destroy the entire world, so stay on her good side,"
Duke and Tea stared at him.
"I'm not kidding, she almost did that,"
Tea rubbed her eyes, "Okay, so noted. What do we do now?"
Brian shrugged, "We just wait, I suppose, I don't know what else we can do. Like I said, this is out of my league. I know some magic, but nothing like this. The best I can do is a battle-spell that gives slight protection or confidence to fight. Other than that, I can't do a whole lot," he walked over to Tea and dropped the books he was carrying in front of her, "Here ya go,"
"What's this?"
"Studying,"
Tea stared at the books, "I thought you said we just wait?"
"Oh, we do, but we gotta pre-occupy ourselves while we do so. You're gonna study,"
"And what are you gonna do?" Duke asked him.
Brian went over to his computer and began to type something, "Very, very important business,"
Duke got up from the couch and walked behind him, facefaulting at what he saw, "You're reading One Piece manga online?!"
"It's important,"
"It's a manga!"
"Aside from the honorable duties of a Watcher, I have an obligation as an otaku to find out what's going on with the Straw Hat Pirates,"
"Nerd,"
"Transvestite,"
"Geek!"
"Okama!"
"Stupid Klavier...how'd he know about my love for Vic?" Kairi kicked a can as she walked down the sidewalk that night, "I may be dead, but that doesn't mean he can make fun of my fangirlism," she pulled her leg back, kicked the can one more time and watched it fly high into the air. She watched it disappear into the night sky and saw a huge gathering of storm clouds looming overhead.
"Looks like a storm's on it's way. That's just great! First my fangirl love gets made fun of, now a storm's coming...," she muttered before pulling a hood over her head, "May be dead, but that doesn't mean I have to enjoy the rain...,"
As the vampiress walked down the sidewalk, the storm clouds billowed outward all over the city of Domino. High in the offices of KaibaCorp, as his brother worked on his laptop, Mokuba Kaiba stared out at the oncoming storm.
"Seto, there's a storm coming in,"
"Thank you, Mokuba," Kaiba said, not really caring for a weather report, especially since he could just turn on the TV and change it to the Weather Channel, "If there's one coming, you should get home before it starts,"
Mokuba pushed away from the window and hopped onto his brother's desk, much to Kaiba's annoyance as he interrupted his work, "I ain't going home alone, Seto. Besides, you promised me you'll sit down and watch a new movie with me!"
"When did I promise that?"
"Last week, Friday night, 6:30 PM,"
Kaiba looked up from his work and stared at his little brother, "How the hell do you remember that?"
Mokuba grinned and pulled out a small video disc from his hoody pocket, "I know your habits, Seto, and I've learned it's best to get proof in some occasions," he quickly slid the disc into his brother's empty CD-Drive of his laptop and they watched as a movie popped up on a media player.
"Hey, Seto? Seto, wanna watch a movie with me?"
"I'm busy, Mokuba,"
"You're always busy, Seto!"
"I can't help it, I am the president of KaibaCorp,"
"You're also my brother, so c'mon, take a night off!"
"I'll watch it later,"
"When?"
"Uh...," Kaiba scratched his chin, distracted with the project he was working onscreen, "Next week, how's that?"
"Promise?"
"Promise,"
The screen showed Mokuba, who was obviously holding the camera, moving down the hall before coming to a stop and turning the camera around, smiling.
"Promise is a promise, Seto," he said in a sing-song voice before the screen went black.
Surprised and annoyed, Kaiba sat back in his chair, his eye twitching as Mokuba leaned into view, grinning from ear to ear like the Cheshire Cat.
"Alright, Mokie...what movie?"
"Oh, hell no!"
"But Seto-!"
"No, not in a million years," Kaiba tossed the DVD to a place where Mokuba couldn't reach it, "You are not watching The Grudge, Mokie. We can watch something else, but not The Grudge,"
Mokuba whined and looked through the bag of movies he had pulled out from under his bed, "How about...this?" he pulled one out and handed it to his brother.
Kaiba looked at it and raised an eyebrow, "Tremors...what is it about, one of those disaster movies like Day After Tomorrow?"
"Uh...yeah, it's one of those," Mokuba said, nodding slowly, "It's about a major earthquake that-,"
"Alright, don't ruin it. I may have been blackmailed into this, but don't ruin it for me,"
Mokuba grinned mischievously as he sat down on the couch with a bowl of popcorn, He fell for it...
The storm clouds prophesied a great storm and boy, were they right. A heavy downpour assaulted Domino City with a monsoon-like rainfall. Thunder clapped every few minutes and lightning streaked across the sky, spooking everyone and anyone caught outside in the mess. The ones inside buildings decided to wait out the storm until it got a bit better to travel outside.
The maintenance team at KaibaCorp were kept on their toes, because whenever a storm came to Domino, it meant that at any minute, the power or a certain system would screw up and it'd be their job to fix it before Kaiba fired their asses for not fixing it ASAP.
Sure enough, trouble came for them and it came in the form of a massive lightning bolt crashing into one of the main antenna on top of the roof. Normally, they'd have some form of surge protection for the entire building, but this lightning strike made the whole building black out for a few moments.
"What the hell was that?"
"Looks like we got hit!"
"No shit, Sherlock!"
"You guys check the systems on this level or else Kaiba's gonna have our heads if we lose any information!"
"You don't have to tell me twice, I remember what he did to that guy who lost an hour's worth of Duel Monster data,"
While the hundreds of workers ran around on all levels to see if everything was okay, something was going on in one of the lower levels of KaibaCorp. The level in particular had been abandoned for a long time, since after Gozaburo committed suicide when his adopted son took over his company.
The level was dark and cold, no longer powered by the grid that lit up the rest of the building, but after so long, something began to stir within the darkness. Arcs of crackling energy coursed through the abandoned equipment left behind and soon enough, the electronics whirred to life once again.
And yet, these ancient mechanisms were not the only things that were stirring to life. In a tube-like structure, large enough to contain one or two people, something began to move. The movement grew more and more intense until cracks appeared on the fragile glass surface. Just when the movement seemed like it had finally stopped, a hand broke through the glass tube and cold air vapor poured out of the hole. As with other things surrounding it, the hand was, if not eons more than, old and ancient. The skin was discolored and blotchy, and looked as though it could be tugged off with enough force. The fingers were long and spider-like, but still flexed with the strength of a professional bodybuilder and as soon as it felt the cool air outside, something inside breathed a long sigh.
Kilnorc: Would like to say thanks to DarkScytheQueen for her help in this chapter, because without her, I wouldn't have gotten this done. Thanks, Kham!
