Chapter 12
The magnificent beast rose out of nothing, its scales shined with a blue tint and its light blue eyes were fixed on Kisara. A bolt of electricity ran through Kisara's spine and her breath was caught in her throat. It was not the magnificence of the dragon that had her transfixed, it was something more profound. She felt that there was a deep connection between them and it reminded her of something that happened a long, long time ago, but she couldn't put her finger on it. Hypnotized by the white dragon, whose eyes where the same shade as her own, she took a slow step forward just a few inches from the edge of her platform.
"Blue Eyes!" Kaiba yelled, "Attack her life points directly!"
The beast didn't move.
"What the hell..." Kaiba scowled and looked at his duel disk. It seemed perfectly fine. "I said attack her directly!"
The monster was still frozen in its place, its eyes fixed on Kisara, who was now standing dangerously on the edge of the platform.
"Goddamnit, attack her NOW!" Kaiba roared.
Blue Eyes finally opened its mouth forming a giant electric ball, aimed at Kisara and threw the ball to her direction. At that moment Kaiba realized, to his horror, that Kisara was just about to fall of her platform when it happened again.
Kisara was hit by the curse and he could do nothing but watch her collapse lifelessly onto the ground. He felt utter despair and anger as he ran towards her. He knelt beside her lifeless body and above them was, carved in a giant tablet, the picture of Blue Eyes White Dragon.
"KISARA!" Kaiba could hear himself shout, now again in the same metal tiled game room. Kisara was lying unconscious on the ground. He ran to reach her, still having the same feeling of terror inside his guts. He kneeled before her and checked her pulse. She was alive, of course, how stupid of him to think that a hologram could kill her. But yet why was she on the floor? Did she lost her balance when Blue Eyes attacked her?
"Brother, what happened? Is she all right?" Mokuba was now on their side.
"Call the doctor. Now, Mokuba!"
Mokuba quickly grabbed his phone and obeyed.
Half an hour later, both of them were in Kisara's bedroom. Kaiba insisted on carrying her to her bed and waited there with Mokuba to hear the doctor's opinion.
"She will be all right. She just needs a bit of rest. She is still unconscious but she will wake up eventually. I really don't know what the problem could be, since she didn't hit her head or anything when she fell. Considering that she was duelling against you, Mr. Kaiba, it must be over exertion." the doctor winked.
Kaiba wanted to say something really unkind to the doctor but Mokuba cut him off. "Thank you, doctor. You can leave now. Thank you once again." The doctor bowed and left. "You see, brother, nothing to worry about." said Mokuba, "She just needs rest."
Kaiba hmpfed. "Why do you think I worry?"
The younger brother smiled. "Please, brother. Stop kidding yourself." he said with a smug smile and left the room. Kaiba looked at Kisara. She looked so peaceful, and he, on the other hand, couldn't remember the last time he felt such terror which was still lingering inside his stomach. He sighed. However, there was no time to think about that now. There were plenty of other things to do at that moment. And first of them was to check what the hell was wrong with the equipment.
Meanwhile, in another part of the city, a man with broad shoulders and an eye patch was standing in front of his master, who was sitting in the shadow behind Zigfried's desk.
"I sensed a strange energy coming from the Kaibas..." a crackly voice was heard from the person sitting behind the desk. He was inspecting a strange rod with a orb decorated with the eye of Horus. "They're starting to remember and soon they will be ready..."
"My Master, Zigfried wants to know when you will release his brother. He is threatening to call the authorities."
The man behind the desk laughed. "He is threatening me? Now that's rich. He is well aware that he is needed for the final stage of the plan. Until everything is over he must comply if he wants to see his brother alive... At least, let him hope he will..."
"Should we start with the final stage then?" the broad shoulder man asked. His master looked at the strange item in his hands once again.
"Yes. I believe it's time. Inform Zigfred to start with his task." he leaned back in his chair and greened. "Soon the beastie will be mine!"
