Chapter Thirty-Eight

Agent 370

Seto sat in a café, drinking a cup of strong coffee. He frowned slightly and looked at his laptop. From the looks of it, the hacker had left the Kaiba Corp. mainframe and everything was great. But now he had another problem.

Apparently there were monsters wandering around in some cities and people were starting to blame Kaiba Corporation's dueling system for these monsters. He grimaced at this. This was the last thing his company needed!

He had already set up for a press conference that day and he was gulping his coffee to wake himself up. He already needed to go out and buy a new suit, seeing as how he failed to pack one. The last thing he expected was a press conference to defend his company.

Seto drained the last cold dregs of coffee and stood up, taking his silver briefcase with him. He walked outside and went to the small shop that sold everything for men, from tuxedos to wristwatches and cufflinks.

The man handed him the suit and Seto wrote him a check and took it without a word. He walked outside and sighed, already hating what today had in store for him.

He wondered how Mokuba was doing. He was surprised that the younger Kaiba had not e-mailed or called. Seto decided to try calling him after the press conference.

The wind whipped past them and Kay sighed a little and sat back. Cat looked at her.

"Kay, you alright?" she asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine." She looked at Cat and smiled. "Cute outfit. Is it new?" she asked. Cat blinked and looked down before smiling a little. She was wearing a shirt that was designed to look like a zip-up vest with a V-neckline. It was a very pretty blue with a hood that was lighter than the rest of the vest. She wore a slightly darker blue skirt that ended a few inches above the knees and was pleated like the skirt from their school uniform.

To complete the look, she wore knee-high, light brown boots with a flower design on the front and baby blue, fingerless gloves that went to her elbows, a black belt, and golden cuffs on her upper arms. Her hair was in the usual ponytail and she had her famous cartouche on as well.

"Yeah. We all packed up and I wanted to go for a new look."

"It seems like everyone's done just that." Kay looked around at everyone and smiled a little.

Anzu was wearing a red, square neckline shirt with a white, button-up jacket over it, a yellowish skirt with a red stripe about two inches below the waist, brown boots with a one-inch tall, thick heel, and a golden necklace. Her hair was left down as always and Kay honestly thought her outfit was way cuter than her previous one in Battle City.

Jounouchi wore a white T-shirt, a denim jacket that was a bit shorter than the shirt, jeans, and his white sneakers along with his necklace from Battle City. He looked a little bit more put together.

Honda wore a white T-shirt with a brown, leather jacket over it and long, dark green pants with a belt. His shoes were plain and black and it looked pretty good, all together. Kay automatically thought Honda had better taste in clothes than Jounouchi.

Kristen wore a pale purple tank top with a light green blouse left open on top, blue jeans, and cute little ballerina flats that were white with a purple flower on them. She wore a silver necklace with a flower charm and the matching earrings and her hair was left down with a clip on the side. She also wore a few silver bracelets and white, fingerless gloves that ended at her wrists.

Yugi was the only one who had not changed his look. He wore the same, black, muscle shirt and his school uniform with his dog collar and Millennium Puzzle. She couldn't help but find it funny how such a sweet, innocent looking guy dresses up so hardcore.

"We all look so different compared to Battle City."

"Yeah. I find it funny how all of us girls are wearing skirts or dresses." Kay blinked then laughed.

"You're right!"

"Did your dress come with that water drop on it?" Cat asked, pointing. "It looks just like the one on your choker."

"I actually had it sewn on."

"That's cool." Kay nodded. They continued driving when Arthur gasped and hit the brakes, sending everyone tumbling forward.

"Ouch!" Jounouchi cried.

"Get offa me!" Honda yelled and Jounouchi rolled off Honda who grunted in pain. Cat rubbed her head and looked up.

"What happened?"

"Yo, Professor, what was that about?" Jounouchi cried, standing up and looking ahead of the truck. His eyes widened as he saw a wall of monsters consisting of Stone Ogre Grotto, Inpachi, UFO Turtle, Battle Ox, and Oni Tank T-34.

In front of the monsters stood another agent in his typical black suit and dark sunglasses.

"Who's that guy?" Jounouchi asked. Kay frowned.

"It's one of those weirdoes with the Aztec Stone!" The agent approached the truck and looked at everyone in the back. He pointed at Yugi.

"Yugi Mouto, come down here and duel me! I have direct orders to duel against you."

"And what if he refuses?" Anzu asked, frowning.

"Yeah!" Kay, Cat, and Kristen agreed. Agent 370 sighed and snapped his fingers. Steel Ogre Grotto stomped over to the truck and lifted its fist.

"Yugi, if you don't duel, I'll crush your friends."

"No!"

"Yes." Steel Ogre started to bring its fist down and everyone screamed.

"WAIT!" It stopped and Yugi jumped out of the truck, put on his duel disk, and pulled his deck out of his belt, frowning. "I'll duel you." Agent 370 smirked.

"A very wise decision." He beckoned for Yugi to follow him to the midpoint between the truck and the wall of monsters.

"Now, what are the conditions of this duel?" Yugi asked.

"If I win, I get your God cards." Yugi frowned.

"Yeah, didn't see that one coming. And if I win, you let me and my friends go."

"Heh, didn't see that one coming!" he mimicked, coughing Yugi to frown. "Very well, now that we are both clear, let's duel!" The Millennium Puzzle glowed and Yugi closed his eyes before changing into Yami.

"Yes…but before we begin, perhaps you can tell me what your name is." Agent 370 snickered wickedly.

"I have no name. I am merely Agent 370, an Agent of Restoration."

"Agent of Restoration?" Yami asked.

"Enough talk! It's time to duel!" He activated his duel disk and gained 4000 lifepoints. Yami did the same thing and they each drew five cards.

"Duel!"

Agent 370 drew a card. He smirked.

"I summon Overdrive in attack mode and end my turn!" The armored vehicle appeared on the field and Yami frowned.

"Is that all?" he asked. "Very well, my move!" He drew a card. "I set a monster in defense mode and play two cards facedown. That ends my turn."

"Hiding behind your monsters already? How sad." Agent 370 drew a card. "I summon Oni Tank T-34 to the field in attack mode and play a card facedown." The green tank with the face of a fiend in the front appeared. "Oni Tank T-34, attack his facedown monster!" Oni Tank T-34 attacked and Mystical Elf appeared, causing 370 to lose 600 lifepoints.

"A very hasty move on your part."

"Who said I'm done? I activate Acid Trap Hole, which destroys your Mystical Elf." Yami gasped as Mystical Elf disappeared. Agent 370 smirked. "Now, my Overdrive can attack your directly!"

"Not so fast! I activate my trap card – Spellbinding Circle! Now, your monster cannot attack me." Agent 370 growled.

"C'mon, Yugi!" Rebecca cried. "Show him who's boss!"

"Yugi, you can beat him!" Anzu yelled.

"My move." Yami drew a card. "I set another monster in defense mode and end my turn."

"Is that all you're going to do this game? If so, you're going to be something of a bore." He drew a card. "Your spellbinding circle card may stop my monster from attacking, but it doesn't stop me from sacrificing. I sacrifice Overdrive in order to summon my Spikebot!"

Spikebot appeared in attack mode but Yami looked relatively neutral in emotion.

"Good God!"

"What is it Kay?" Cat asked.

"Ugh, I remember that monster…and it's not a happy memory."

A motorbike came up along the side of the limo. She didn't think much of it, until she noticed there was one on Seto's side of the limo as well. Sitting up, suddenly feeling very alert, she saw the rider hold up an arm with a duel disk and a green necklace glowed around their neck as they put a card down on the activated duel disk.

She stared in shock as Spikebot formed in the rain.

The two motorbikes pulled back and she stared out the window, wondering what was going on. She looked at Seto, but before they could say anything, something crashed on the top of the limo and she screamed. Their driver panicked and they veered off the road and crashed into a lamp post.

Kay and Seto sat there, hearts racing, not making a sound. Another crash on the roof of the limo made them jump and they quickly exited the limo along with the chauffeur. Kay shrieked when she saw Spikebot on the top of the limo.

"Kaiba, explain THAT?" she yelled.

"I don't know! My duel disks couldn't have done this."

"They summoned that monster with YOUR duel disk!" she yelled. Spikebot looked at them and jumped off the limo and landed in front of them. They both jumped and screamed.

"That thing nearly killed me and Seto." Cat's eyes widened.

"Holy crap!"

"You're telling me."

"Now, Spikebot, attack his facedown monster!" Yami smirked as Spikebot struck with its ball and chain fist, striking Big Shield Gardna.

"Oh well, it seems you lose even more lifepoints." 370 growled as his points fell from 3400 to 2700.

"YEAH! He's lost close to half his lifepoints and Yugi barely had to lift a finger!" Jounouchi cried, grinning. Honda nodded and cheered.

"Oh yeah! He's got this one in the bag!" Kay rolled her eyes a little.

"Yeah, well, we'll see."

"I end my turn."

"Very well. I draw!" Yami drew a card. "I sacrifice my Big Shield Gardna in order to summon my Dark Magician Girl!" Big Shield Gardna vanished and the blonde magician appeared and winked, doing a peace sign. "And then I'll equip her with Magic Formula!"

Dark Magician Girl started reading a book and her attack points rose to 2500.

"Now, Dark Magician Girl, attack his Spikebot with Dark Burning Magic!" Dark Magician Girl twirled her staff and aimed it at the Spikebot. A ball of dark, crackling energy appeared and it shot at Spikebot, hitting it in the chest and destroying it. 370's lifepoints fell to 2000. Yami smirked. "I place one card facedown and end my turn."

"WHOO! Yugi!" Honda and Jounouchi yelled. Kristen beamed.

"He took out half of that guy's lifepoints and now he has a monster on the field with 2500 attack points!" Cat nodded.

"That's the pharaoh for you." Kay smirked at Cat and put an arm around her shoulders.

"Sounds to me like you really admire him." She turned red.

"W-what?! No, Kay! I-it's not like that! We're just friends and, I, uh…" Kay laughed a little bit.

"Guess I'll have to play matchmaker."

"Wait, what?!"

"Alright then, my move!" He drew a card. "I set a card facedown and activate Scrap Metal! Here's how this card works, I can sacrifice one machine type monster in order to draw five new cards. If I don't draw any machine monsters, I have to discard all but one card in my hand. If I draw at least one machine monster, I just have to discard one card from my hand. So I sacrifice my Oni Tank T-34."

His monster disappeared and her drew five cards.

"Well, I drew a machine monster so I only have to discard one card, and I choose My Amphibious Bugroth MK-3. Next, I'll play the magic card, Robo exchange! By sending two machines from my hand to my graveyard, I can automatically summon Roboyarou and Robolady from my deck or my hand." He sacrificed his two monsters from his hand and Robolady and Roboyarou appeared on the field.

"Dude, what's he up to?" Jounouchi asked.

"We'll soon find out."

"Next, I activate Graceful Charity." He drew three cards and discarded two. "And now, Pot of Greed!"

"You kidding me?" Honda cried.

"What are you planning?" Yami asked.

"You'll soon find out." He drew two cards. "I activate polymerization to fuse my two monsters together to form my Super Roboyarou!"

The two monsters jumped up and fused together to form a tougher looking version of Roboyarou with a huge sword.

"Ha! What a waste! His monster only has 1200 attack points!" Jounouchi cried.

"Don't judge a monster by its appearance, Jounouchi!" Rebecca warned. "We don't know what kind of special powers it may have."

"Next, I'll activate Heavy Storm to rid the field of all y our trap and magic cards." Magical Hats and Magic Formula both disappeared and Dark Magician Girls' attack points fell back to 2000. "Next, I activate a Magic Card known as Limiter Removal. This magic card allows me to double the attack points of my Super Roboyarou."

Everyone gasped.

"His attack doubles?!" Jounouchi cried.

"That means he can destroy Yami's Dark Magician Girl!" Cat cried.

"Finally, I'll add the magic card 7 Completed to raise Super Roboyarou's attack by an extra 700 points."

"Whoa! That's 3100 attack points!" Honda exclaimed.

"Super Roboyarou, attack with electric blade!" Super Roboyarou charged forward and slash Dark Magician Girl with his sword as it crackled with blue electricity before jumping back. Dark Magician Girl shrieked and was destroyed. Yami grunted as his lifepoints fell to 2900.

"That should do for now."

"Alright then. My move!" Yami drew a card.

"I place one card facedown and I activate Pot of Greed to draw two new cards." He drew his cards. "Now, I summon Queen's Knight in attack mode and end my turn."

"Ha, a foolish move, Yugi. Even thought the effect of my Limiter Removal is expired, I still keep the 700 points from my 7 Completed, which is more than enough to wipe out your little Queen." He smirked and drew a card. "I play one card facedown and attack your Queen with Super Roboyarou!"

"Not so fast! I activate my trap card – Mirror Force! So now your attack is redirected at you."

"Hold on! I also have a trap – Negate Attack! So my Robo is safe and my lifepoints are untouched."

"Hm."

"Holy cow, this duel is just epic!" Jounouchi said. Honda nodded.

"I'll say."

"I hope Yugi wins…" Kristen said. Cat nodded.

"He will. I know it!"

"My move." Yami drew a card. "I activate Graceful Charity and draw three cards and then I'll discard two." He drew three and got rid of two. "I now summon my King Knight. And when he and Queen's Knight are on the field, I can automatically summon Jack's Knight from my deck!"

The three monsters stood together on the field and Jounouchi struck a pose.

"Oh yeah, baby! A Royal Flush!"

"Hmph, well, none of your monsters are stronger than mine so it looks like it was all a waste."

"You may think that, but you're wrong, for I use the magic card Polymerization!"

'What?!"

"Now, by fusing my three Knights, I am able to summon my Arcana Knight Joker!" 370's eyes widened as the three monsters flew up and held up their swords, meeting the blades and spinning. They vanished in a bright light and the knight appeared on the field in his black and gray armor, a determined look on his face.

"That monster's amazing!" Kristen gasped.

"Your Super Roboyarou doesn't stand a chance against my warrior! Come next turn, I will wipe it out!"

"We'll see about that." He drew a card. "I activate the magic card Monster Reborn in order to summon my Roboyarou back to the field." Roboyarou appeared. "But it won't be here for long, as I sacrifice it along with my Super Roboyarou to summon my Mechanical Hound."

"Ha! That monster's 1000 points short of Yugi's monster." 370 smirked.

"Not for long. I activate my trap card, Deal of the Phantom. Thanks to this card, I can give my Mechanical Hound 100 points for every monster in my graveyard. I have 11, so my Hound gains 1100 attack points."

"Oh no!" Mechanical Hound's attack points rose up to 3900.

"Mechanical Hound, destroy his Arcana Knight Joker with sonic howl!" Mechanical Hound howled and the sound waves destroyed Yami's knight. "Ha! I destroyed your monster and you have no cards left in your hand. Come next turn, you're finished Yugi!" Yami's lifepoints fell to 2800 and Mechanical Hound's attack fell back to 2800.

Yami frowned and looked at his deck.

"I need to believe in the heart of the cards. Please, guide me!" He drew a card and looked at it before smirking.

"I set one card facedown and end my turn."

"Ham so that's all you can do? How sad. My move!" He drew a card. "Mechanical Hound, attack him directly!"

"I activate my trap card, Magical Trick Mirror! I can use this card to activate any magic card in your graveyard, and I choose Monster Reborn to call my mighty Arcana Knight Joker back to the field!"

Arcana Knight Joker appeared and Mechanical Hound's sound waves were deflected by his sword and he slashed, destroying Mechanical Hound. 370 stared on, his eyes widened in shock behind his sunglasses as his lifepoints fell down to 1000. Yami smirked.

"It looks like I've destroyed your monster. And now it's my move, seeing as you have no more cards left in your hand."

"This is impossible! How can I lose?"

"It's simple. Arcana Knight Joker, attack him directly!" The knight slashed at 370 with his sword and he fell to his knees, his lifepoints falling to 0.

"YEAH YUGI!" The monsters around them all vanished and Yami approached Agent 370.

"Why? Why did I have to lose? Master Aldric is going to be furious with me!" he cried.

"Listen to me, you do not have to serve this man."

"You just don't understand!" he yelled, rage lacing his tone. "You just don't…urgh!" He grunted and beads of sweat formed on his temples. "The…Aztec Stone…I lost and…now…it rejects me…" He groaned as the stone fell away from him and rolled to Yami's feet.

He stared at it and 370 coughed.

"It shouldn't…have ended like this…I should have won…"

"Face it, dude, ya lost!" Jounouchi yelled, smirking smugly.

"You'll all…get what's coming…" And with that, 370 fainted. Yami frowned at him and picked up the Aztec Stone. Kay, Rebecca, Cat, Jounouchi, and Kristen all ran over to him. Kristen leaned down.

"Is he…?" she asked.

"No, he's not dead."

"What do we do with him?" Jounouchi asked. "We're kind of out in the middle of nowhere."

"I can call for a doctor and tell them our location." Rebecca pulled out her phone and dialed a number. The Millennium Puzzle glowed and Yugi returned to his normal self.

"Good thinking, Rebecca!" She smiled smugly and Kristen frowned just a little bit. Rebecca got a hold of a doctor and told them their location. She hung up and announced that an ambulance would arrive within the next fifteen minutes." Yugi nodded.

"That's a relief."

"Would he be ok if we continued on our way?" Kay asked. Rebecca nodded.

"Yeah. He just passed out. It's not like he had any injuries or anything." Jounouchi nodded.

"Yeah! Now let's get this show on the road!" he said, running back to the truck. Kay rolled her eyes.

"That Jounouchi. Always a prime example of patience…" she sighed. They all hopped back into the back of the truck and drove away. Kay looked back at Agent 370 and frowned, knowing this couldn't be the last of them.

She wondered what their next enemy would be like and how much closer they might lead her to this "Master Aldric."

"I have to help Uncle. No matter what."

Ooh, EPIC! And Yugi got to duel this time. Yay! AND, next chapter is that double duel I had you guys vote for. And you guys chose...

SETO!

So, Kay and Seto team up again in two chapters. I am uber excited for it, hope you are too. So review, review, review! So I can post that chapter. I'd love to post chapter 40 by Sunday, if possible, to celebrate going back to school! (Celebrate, dread it, same difference)
