Chapter 32: An Antihero And Heroes Work Together
Seto's POV
After we all thought of a plan on how to take Gozaburo down, we all turned around and began running towards the virtual version of Domino City.
"Wait! Hold up for a moment!" Noah said.
We all stopped running and turned around. Noah was bending down. He grabbed a Duel Disk and slid it onto his left arm like the rest of us. He had cards in them, which I assume were cards that already belonged to him, just like the rest of us and how all of our cards belonged to us.
Luckily for Noah, we weren't far ahead of him so it would be easy for him to catch up with us after he finished putting the Duel Disk on his arm.
"Are you done, man?" Tristan asked, making Noah look at him. Noah nodded, so we all turned around and started running back into the virtual version of Domino City.
Even though it was a virtual version, this Domino City looked a lot like the real Domino City. Even though it was pixelated, you could barely tell that it was pixelated.
"Talk about high quality technology. Looks like Gozaburo really put a lot of effort into this place." I thought as I continued running.
Noah was behind us, but he had soon caught up to us and he was now on my right side. A Duel Disk was on his left arm.
I didn't bother to look over at him or at anyone else. I was too focused on finding Mokuba and saving him.
I didn't bother to wonder why Noah knew so much. I didn't care about that, or at least I didn't care right now. I figured I could ask why later.
I sped up. Everyone else was close behind me.
We eventually heard a yell come from behind us.
"AYAYAUUH!"
It was Joey who had yelled out like that. We all stopped running and turned around to see what had happened. A monster had jumped out at Joey from the side of a baleful alley, catching him by surprise. Yugi had been standing next to him. The monster didn't look familiar at all, so I guess it was just a random monster in this virtual world.
Another one jumped out at them, but this time it came out from Yugi's side of the alley.
"It's time to duel, Joey!" Yugi said, holding up his Duel Disk and taking a card out of his Duel Disk.
Joey nodded.
"Right, Yug!" He said, holding up his Duel Disk as well. He also took a card out. Noah and I jogged in place. We began to turn around after they summoned their monsters in attack mode.
It was Joey's Flame Swordsman and Yugi's Summoned Skull. I heard both Yugi and Joey shout "ATTACK!"
And they even said it at the same time.
Téa and Tristan held up their Duel Disks as well. They wanted to fight the monsters off like Yugi and Joey. Noah turned around again to look at them as he and I stopped running and stood in place.
"Your decks are touching that Duel Disk bar, but have you dueled a lot? If not, you might not be able to fight those monsters so easily." Noah said.
Téa and Tristan looked at each other. Téa was about to open her mouth when Tristan covered her mouth.
"Well, I guess you guys will need some back up in finding Mokuba anyway, right? Also in case if anything happens along the way." Tristan said. He uncovered Téa's mouth.
"That's true." She said.
Noah and I turned around again and began running as they turned around and started running with the both of us. I looked behind me once more to see Yugi and Joey fending off the monsters, with Yugi looking a little different from behind.
His hair looked even wackier than it usually was. I could see his blonde bangs slightly sticking out from the sides of his head. He even looked a bit taller, but not by much. Still looked around five foot.
They both took cards out of their Duel Disks and used them to fight the monsters that attacked them.
I shook my head as I realized I had let myself begin to slow up.
I immediately began to speed up once I noticed this.
After all, Mokuba's life was at stake. I couldn't allow myself to slow down, even if only for a short moment.
Especially over something as stupid as someone looking a little different. Besides, it happens sometimes with people, but I guess it's only if they feel the need to change.
"Don't worry about it. It's just your imagination. Yugi doesn't look different at all. Yugi isn't important right now. You have to save Mokuba anyway! THAT'S what's important!" I thought.
As we continued running, we looked to our side and saw an arcade.
"Noah! Is that the same arcade you were talking about earlier over there? The one with the exit and all that?" Téa asked Noah. We stopped running.
Noah nodded.
"Yes, but first we must get to KaibaCorp to rescue Mokuba. Then we can get out of here after we rescue him!" Noah said, looking over at Téa.
"So...where IS the KaibaCorp in this place?" Tristan asked. I began running again.
I pointed ahead, as it began to come into my view.
"There! I see it!" I said.
"Then let's get faster! Slow down!" Téa said, and we sped up. I didn't respond and just continued running.
Soon, we got to this virtual KaibaCorp and we were panting heavily. We were standing outside its doors.
"M-Maybe he could...wait...w-where could that guy...be? Somewhere...in-inside?" Tristan wheezed.
"I-I might...k-know where." Noah said, wheezing heavily like the rest of us. We all stopped to catch our breath for a bit. When we finished, we followed him inside the building. Joey and Yugi had caught up to us.
"SHEESH! IT'S COLD IN HERE!" Shouted a familiar voice. I looked over and saw that it was Joey. He started rubbing his arms to keep warm.
"He sure has pointed out a lot of things since we've been in here. Obvious things. Will he ever stop and just be quiet for a change?" I thought.
"Yeah, you're right about it being cold, Joey. It might get colder as we walk further into KaibaCorp. But let's not let that stop us. We need to rescue Mokuba and get out of here." Noah said.
I looked at Noah. He began to rub his arms. I could hear Yugi and the rest of his friends also began to rub their arms a little bit behind me.
Noah led us through this version of KaibaCorp. I noticed right away that everything seemed to be dark and eerie, and also a bit gelid in this version of KaibaCorp. Looks like Joey was right.
It began to get even colder as we walked farther into KaibaCorp. Compared to now, the entrance wasn't even that cold.
I didn't dare shiver. Instead, I crossed my arms tightly around my chest. I made sure that I didn't let Noah out of my sight. I didn't look around for a long time and stopped shortly after and just followed Noah. Yugi and his friends were behind me the whole time. They might have crossed their arms tightly around their chests by now.
"Looks like Joey was right when he said that it was cold in here earlier. Must be because Gozaburo is running this place. He's never been a warm person as long as I've known him, so I guess his cold personality rubbed off in this KaibaCorp. It seems like the more we walk, the colder it gets. We must be getting closer to him." I thought.
Noah led us up to the room in the middle of the third floor. I knew it was familiar just from looking at the doors. I recognized it.
I knew that it was the same room where I overthrew Gozaburo out of his company. We opened the doors and walked inside.
Well, it wasn't the same exact room. We remodeled some rooms of KaibaCorp a while back and that room was remodeled in here.
So it wasn't exactly the same room, but at the same time, it kinda was. It brought back the memory of when Mokuba and I kicked Gozaburo out of his company. It also reminded me of that time where I got a million dollars from Gozaburo for my birthday.
Sure enough, there was Gozaburo, holding tightly onto my little brother Mokuba's wrist. But he was standing up and not sitting down at the very last seat like he normally would in that room.
That's what was different! The long table was no longer there. I could run over to Gozaburo and save Mokuba just like that.
It wasn't so cold anymore now that we were in the room with Gozaburo and Mokuba.
"At least that part's over with..." I muttered. I looked straight ahead.
"Seto! Help!" Mokuba shouted.
"Mokuba!" I started to run towards him, but then I stopped. I was now in the middle of the room. I realized something-how did Gozaburo get in the Virtual World anyway?
"Gozaburo, how did you get in the Virtual World?!" I asked-well, more like shouted at-him.
"I was so close to completing the Virtual World. Once I completed it, after you took over, Seto, I knew I didn't stand a chance. I asked Gansley, Leitcher, Johnson, Nezbitt, and Crump to help me. Once I digitized my mind into this world, they made sure to hide it in a place where I knew you wouldn't look. So now you know how I'm in here." Gozaburo explained.
I just glared at him. I looked at Mokuba.
"Don't worry, Mokuba. You'll be fine soon." I thought. Nothing could stop me from getting him back.
"So is that why you asked me to call the big five into that room that time, Father?" Noah asked.
"Yes. I asked you to get them for me so that I could get into the Virtual World. That is why I had that meeting with them." Gozaburo said.
Although I still may have been a little confused, it wasn't important now.
After about a minute after Gozaburo told us about how he was in this world, Téa started looking around.
"Where's Joey? Did he get lost on the way up here? I could've sworn he was with us earlier." She said.
"She's right!" Tristan said.
Well, like Tristan already said, Téa was right.
In no time at all-well, maybe about three minutes or so-Joey ran into the same room with us.
"I got lost. Sorry!" Said Joey, a sheepish grin on his face. He walked further into the room and stood beside Noah. Yugi stepped closer to Gozaburo.
But Yugi still looked different. Taller. More like a teenager, in other words. He had a much more deeper voice when he spoke now, so I guess when I looked behind me earlier while running, the whole Yugi looking taller thing wasn't a mind trick after all. However, I still couldn't be sure.
I blinked as I tried to figure it all out. Everyone walked next to me.
"Is this my imagination? Maybe how we're currently trying to save Mokuba is making me think that Yugi looks different. I must be stressed. That's the only logical explanation I can think of." I thought.
"Gozaburo, hand over Mokuba!" Yugi shouted, walking closer to us. He stood next to Noah while Joey stood next to me.
Gozaburo shook his head.
"No. Not until he helps me take over the Virtual World."
Mokuba broke out of Gozaburo's grasp. Gozaburo grabbed Mokuba and held onto him tightly, his arm around Mokuba's neck. Out of instinct, Mokuba put his hands to Gozaburo's arm and tried to pry it off him.
My eyes widened as I saw this.
"DON'T YOU DARE HURT MY LITTLE BROTHER, GOZABURO!" I thought as I clenched my fists in anger, my blue eyes burning into own his eyes.
Noah stepped forward.
"And just how can he help you with the Virtual World when this is the first time he's been introduced to it? I've had enough, Father! We're all going to destroy you-and this time, permanently!" Noah said. He took out a card, but I couldn't see the monster since he was so far away from me.
"Not so fast, Noah! Seto, do you remember all the people who've been mean to you over the years? It's time you face them again!" Gozaburo said. I saw Noah put his card down.
People began to materialize and stand around us. I saw kids I had beat up for Mokuba, that kid from the game shop, that creepy old man from when we were standing outside the hospital, and even that awful Mikono couple. I never wanted to see their faces again. Even though they're in a virtual reality, they still brought back memories.
I was about to take a card from my deck that I thought should end them all with one attack, but then I heard Joey's voice.
"I got dis, guys!" He said.
Joey ran to the creepy old man and punched him. Next, he punched the mean kids, that weird game shop girl, and even the Mikono's. All my former enemies disappeared in one punch. Joey ran back to where he was before he took care of the virtual enemies. We turned our attention back to Gozaburo.
"And to finish what I started, I summon Luster Dragon in attack mode!" Noah said, putting a card face up on his Duel Disk. His Luster Dragon came out of its card.
Joey took out a card.
"I summon Red Eyes Black Dragon in attack mode!" He said, putting his card face up on his Duel Disk. His Red Eyes Black Dragon came out of its card.
Next, Yugi drew a card.
"I summon the Dark Magician in attack mode!"
Yugi put The Dark Magician face up on his Duel Disk. The Dark Magician came out of his card as well.
And then, I drew a card.
"I call on Blue Eyes White Dragon in attack mode!"
Yup. You guessed it.
I put my Blue Eyes face up on my Duel Disk. My Blue Eyes White Dragon came out of its card.
"Those monsters...no! No!" Gozaburo yelled. His grip loosened from Mokuba's neck. Mokuba began backing away from Gozaburo.
The next thing that happened surprised me.
Tristan and Téa stepped up. They looked at each other and grinned.
"Ready, Téa?" Tristan said, looking at Téa. She grinned. They both stood next to me.
"Oh yeah, Tristan!"
Tristan took a card out of his deck.
"I summon my Cyber Commander in attack mode!" He said, putting his Cyber Commander face up on his Duel Disk. The Cyber Commander popped out of his card.
Next was Téa's turn.
"I summon the Dark Magician Girl in attack mode!" She did the same thing as everyone else did. I saw her put it up on her Duel Disk. The Dark Magician Girl popped out of her card.
We all looked at them and grinned. Well, everyone except me. I just stared right at Gozaburo. I was determined to defeat him once and for all.
I looked over at Mokuba. He looked surprised, but then he had a smile on his face. However, even though I was staring at Gozaburo, I was pretty surprised that Tristan and Téa were helping us out. It seemed like time was going by slowly.
"Dark Magician, use your dark magic attack!"
"Blue Eyes, white lightning attack! Let's go!"
"Attack 'im with inferno fiah blast, Red Eyes!"
"Luster Dragon, attack!"
"Cyber Commander, attack!"
"Dark Magician Girl, use your dark burning attack!"
"NNNNOOOOOO!" Gozaburo shouted as our monsters attacked him with their attacks. After attacking, they all stood-well, some of them floated-by our sides, awaiting what had happened to Gozaburo and if they should attack again.
"Be on guard. He might still be here." Yugi said, looking at all of us. We all looked at him and nodded. Then we looked back at the spot where Gozaburo had been standing.
I could see a silhouette through the smoke. When the smoke cleared, he was right. Gozaburo was still standing there, but some parts of his body had looked pixelated. It should be easier to defeat him now.
"Ha ha ha! Like your friend with the very bad haircut said, I'm still here! Why don't you all try and attack me again?!" He said. I knew he was teasing us; he had a look on his face as if he were mocking us. It was basically an evil grin.
"BLUE EYES WHITE DRAGON, ATTA-" I didn't get to finish my sentence.
"SETO!" Noah shouted. I stopped my command and looked over at him. My Blue Eyes stopped with its attack as well.
"We're doing this together!" He said with a frown as he stared at me. Everyone else nodded.
I just frowned.
Then Noah looked at everyone.
"One more time, everyone!" Noah said.
"Dark Magician, attack him with your dark magic attack again!" Yugi said.
"Red Eyes, use ya inferno fiah blast attack again!" Joey said.
"Attack him, Luster Dragon!" Said Noah.
"Cyber Commander, attack!"
"Dark burning attack once more, Dark Magician girl!"
Every attack that hit Gozaburo made his body become even more damaged.
But that's when he caught us by surprise.
He started laughing. He held up his left arm. A Duel Disk appeared on his left arm.
"He has a Duel Disk!" Téa said.
"Yeah, no kidding."
He took a card out from his deck.
"Since you and your little friends have attacked more than once, it's my turn! I summon a monster in attack mode. But now, I sacrifice that monster to summon Exodia Necross in attack mode! This monster is invincible!" Gozaburo said as he placed the card on his Duel Disk.
Now that things were getting heated, Mokuba ran away from Gozaburo and towards the door, but he didn't walk out.
Exodia Necross popped out of his card. He looked almost exactly like Yugi's Exodia, but this Exodia's colors were darker.
"Invincible? Yeah, right. I can find a weakness somehow." I thought.
"Now, Exodia Necross! Attack Cyber Commander!" Gozaburo said.
With one swift punch, Tristan's Cyber Commander disappeared.
Next it was our turn again. We all attacked him once more, except for Tristan.
"It barely looks like we made any scratches on ExodiaNecross! Wait! What if we shouldn't be attacking his body!? Maybe I should be attacking his soul! If that's the case, I have the perfect card for that!"
"Seto, this world wasn't made for duels! Duel Monster rules don't apply here!" Noah said.
"I see. That's even better!" I said.
Noah looked at me in confusion.
It was up to me now. My Blue Eyes White Dragon looked at me, probably wondering if I would stop my command like last time. I knew everyone was looking at me. Gozaburo was very damaged by the time it was my turn.
I grinned.
"Looks like it's checkmate, Gozaburo. It's my turn now!" I said, drawing a card. I looked at it.
Soul Demolition. That was just the card I needed!
I put it in the few slots of my Duel Disk.
"I activate my trap card Soul Demolition! I pay five hundred life points to activate this card. It allows me to attack Exodia Necross' soul! So you think Exodia Necross is invincible, huh, Gozaburo?! I think not! Now I'll recall every piece of Exodia the Forbidden One! Exodia's left leg!" I said.
The left leg of Exodia Necross faded away from a very dark blue-almost purple-and turned into a dark gold type of color.
"Exodia's right leg!"
Exodia Necross' leg turned into a dark gold.
"Exodia's left arm!"
The arm faded into a dark gold.
"Exodia's right arm!"
Same happened to that arm.
"And now the head of Exodia the Forbidden One!"
The head faded into what looked like Exodia's original color.
"And now I'll attack! Blue Eyes, use your white lightning attack on Exodia Necross and Gozaburo one more time!" I commanded, finishing my command from earlier.
My Blue Eyes looked back at Gozaburo as it opened its mouth. Gozaburo and his Exodia Necross soon became shrouded by the beam that came from the mouth of my Blue Eyes, screaming as the light engulfed him. His Exodia began crying out too, a sign that he was fading away with Gozaburo. A bright white light illuminated the room, making us all shield our eyes.
After my final attack, we had finally destroyed Gozaburo. When the room became dimmer, we all opened our eyes and looked at the spot where Gozaburo had been standing.
Gozaburo was gone for good. He was nowhere to be seen.
"Thanks for the information, Gozaburo." I thought. I looked at where he once stood.
We finally destroyed him for good. He wasn't standing there when the smoke cleared like last time. No way would he come for us after we saw him fade away right in front of our very own eyes!
I literally mean that. After we attacked him for the second time, he just kinda faded into pixels, went up into the air, and vanished. It was an interesting thing to see, though.
I know I would never say this, but it almost seemed like magic. It's not like I would tell anyone that I thought of that nonsense, though.
Everyone, including me, congratulated their monsters on a job well done. I even had my Blue Eyes bend down so I could rub its head. After we thanked our monsters for helping us defeat Gozaburo, we called them back into our decks. Our Duel Disks disappeared from our arms.
I put my hands in the pockets of my pants as I looked around the room. Yugi's gang walked away from their spots and stood near each other.
I could've sworn I also saw Joey do a weird chin face thing. Joey and Tristan headbutted each other.
"WE DID IT, BRO!" Joey said.
"YEAH WE DID, DUDE!" Said Tristan.
All I did was stay quiet, a frown on my face as usual.
Mokuba was free for good. He ran over to me but stopped. The ceiling began to crumble. I took my hands out of my pockets as I walked over to my little brother.
Mokuba was just fine. No scratches, no bruises, nothing that I could see.
"That's good. Gozaburo would pay if he did something as simple as slapping his face."
The attack of Joey's monster caused flames to crawl across the already crumbling ceiling.
I grabbed Mokuba's wrist almost instantly and ran out of the KaibaCorp building.
"Thanks, guys!" Mokuba said, smiling at us.
"Uuuhh, guys? I think we should get out of here. Like now." Téa said.
We all started running. I ended up running ahead of them. We had just gotten out of virtual KaibaCorp when Mokuba said:
"Slow down, Seto!" He said. I didn't say a word.
"I said-"
"I know what you said, Mokuba!"
This resulted in me picking him up and running while holding him with only my right hand. We ran into the virtual town of Domino City.
After running for a few minutes, we all looked behind us.
The top half of the building of virtual KaibaCorp had crumbled, an explosion of dust, debris, and fire in the air. Then the rest of it crumbled, an even bigger explosion following. We began to run again, but Noah stopped us.
"Wait! We're here!" Noah said, pointing to an arcade next to us after we had been running for a minute or so.
We listened to him and walked inside. I set Mokuba back on the ground. He stood next to me.
"Where's dah exit? You sure we're in dah right place?" Joey asked as he looked around the arcade.
"Yes, I'm absolutely sure. Follow me." Noah said, beckoning us with his index finger. We followed him through the dark building.
As we were walking through the arcade to reach the exit of this place, I heard a conversation with Tristan, Téa, and Joey:
"Wow guys, that was pretty cool a' ya t' help us out!" Joey said.
"Of course, dude! We didn't wanna miss out on all the fun!" Tristan said. He looked at Téa.
"Right, Téa?"
"Yeah! Besides, why not? We're in here for a reason, and that was to help rescue Mokuba. And hey, the more the monsters and attacks we had, I figured that Gozaburo would go down quicker." Téa said.
"I guess she's right about that last part." I thought.
I guess Joey nodded next.
"Yeah, you got dat right!" I heard him say.
When we finally stopped walking, we were standing in front of a dance platform. We all walked to the side so we could see it better.
"Is this a dance platform, Noah?" Téa asked. Noah nodded.
"Yes it is. Stand on the magenta circle on the right. When I was working on this with my Father a long time ago, he told me that this dance platform is how you can get back to our own world." Noah said.
Téa nodded and followed his orders.
When she stood on the circle, it lit up.
"My body feels kinda weird." She said. Noah nodded.
"That means you're being teleported." He explained.
Then a blue aura shot up around Téa. When it cleared, she was gone. She teleported.
"Guess it'll be easier to get back home than I thought." I thought.
"My turn!" Joey said. He got onto the circle and looked down. The circle lit up.
"My body also feels kinda w-WHOA!" He shouted. The blue aura shot up around him. He didn't get to finish his sentence.
When it cleared, Joey had also teleported somewhere, just like Téa did. It was interesting to see how we were being teleported.
Next was Tristan. He stood on the circle. It lit up, and the blue aura came up around him, and he was gone when it cleared.
After Tristan teleported, then came Mokuba, then Yugi, and finally, me. I stood on that magenta circle, just like everyone else did.
"What about you, Noah?" I asked.
Noah nodded.
"I'll come home soon. Go on without me."
I nodded.
"Fine."
I looked down at the magenta circle. I felt a whoosh of air all around me. I looked around and saw that blue aura that had engulfed everyone else. I could hardly see anything through it. My body started to dissolve. I really WAS being teleported!
When the dissolving of my body finally finished, I woke up in my capsule. My body no longer felt weird.
The lid of my capsule opened. The metal clasps around my wrists and ankles went back into the capsule. The suction cups around my ears also went back into the capsule.
I sat up in my capsule. I stood up, got out of the capsule, and saw Mokuba, looking the way he normally looks. I hope this experience didn't rattle him too much.
Luckily, I don't think it scared him a lot. He smiled as soon as he saw me.
"Seto!" He said. I walked over to him.
"I'm glad you're safe, Mokuba." I said.
I was happy to see him, though. I know he wasn't gone for very long, but still.
He's my little brother. We've been through so much together, so it wouldn't be right if I weren't happy to see him, right?
When I turned around from Mokuba, I saw Yugi and his other geek friends looking at me. They seemed normal as well.
I looked at Noah's capsule. He was still inside. The metal clasps were still around his wrists and ankles. The suction cups were still on his ears. His eyes were closed.
"Whatever it is you're doing in there, you'd better hurry it up, Noah." I thought.
Noah's POV
After everyone else had gone back to the real world, I walked out of the arcade and looked at where the virtual KaibaCorp once stood.
"Good bye forever, Virtual World. You won't be missed." I said. This might sound weird, but I was kinda glad that I got to experience the Virtual World.
Except for the fact that it was being run by my nefarious excuse for a Father and that it couldn't have been a normal, peaceful experience.
I began walking through the Virtual World for one last time. I walked to where we spawned, through the town, and even to the virtual Kaiba Corporation.
Well, the rubble, at least.
"Your evil reign finally ends here, Father." I said, crossing my arms and staring at the collapsed rubble of the Virtual World that was that was sitting on the ground before me.
As I stared at the rubble, I realized something.
What if he was still here? What if he wasn't dead for good?
I know it was stupid since we all saw him disappear right in front of us, but I had to at least make sure.
"After all, I could never be too sure with my Father. I did see him in the Virtual World room just staring down at me from that TV. That sure was a surprise." I thought.
I stepped onto the remains of Virtual KaibaCorp. I bent down and looked through each piece of rubble.
There was no sign of my Father anywhere.
I stood back up after picking up each piece of rubble that I could pick up-and yes, I looked at the ground where they originally were as well when I picked them up and didn't just throw the rubble to the side-and made my way back to where I had been standing.
I looked back at the crumbled KaibaCorp for the final time. I walked back onto the rubble and began kicking the smaller pieces.
After I finished, I walked back to where I had been standing and kicked an outer part of the crumbled building. By outer part, I meant a part that was still sticking up. I guess it could be described as an outer shell? Either way, it fell over with the other pieces of the rubble.
"My life certainly has been one adventure after the other." I said as I looked at the rubble before me.
Looking back into my memories, what I had said about my life being one big adventure after the other was true.
My stepbrothers had been in my dreams a lot, I had talked about wanting siblings a lot of times in my life, they eventually came into my life, all my education I had done in order to take over KaibaCorp was given to Seto the first night he arrived just because he had beaten my Father in a game of chess, I found my Father in a TV one night, Seto threw him out of his own company, Seto ran KaibaCorp, and now this entire debacle.
"Yes...one big adventure after the other indeed." I said. Those years after Seto began to run KaibaCorp went by fast. I still remember those days like they were yesterday.
But I was grateful. I was able to experience what it was like to have siblings, what it was like to go to an actual school and not be homeschooled, and most importantly, thanks to my stepbrothers, I had learned what it was like to be happy.
"Thanks, Seto and Mokuba." I said as a smile crossed onto my face.
I didn't kick anymore rubble. There was no need to. I had my fun. It was time to go home now. I know Seto and Mokuba must be really worried about me by now, or maybe impatient as to why I was still here.
I couldn't keep them waiting. I didn't even know how long I was in this world for myself. We could have been in here for an hour and not even realize it due to all the excitement.
After that, I turned around and walked away from virtual KaibaCorp and back into the arcade, closed the doors behind me, and I proceeded to walk back to the dance platform. I stepped on the magenta circle.
I looked down at the magenta circle. It lit up. I felt a whoosh of air around me. The blue aura appeared.
My body began to dissolve posthaste.
"ONCE AGAIN, GOOD BYE FOREVER, VIRTUAL WORLD!" I shouted as I was disappearing.
Back to Seto's POV
We were all still waiting for Noah to come out of his capsule. What was taking him so long?
After a few more minutes of waiting, Noah finally opened his eyes. The metal bars and suction cups unclasped themselves from his ankles, wrists, and ears. His capsule lid opened. He sat up and got out of his capsule.
He noticed me and smiled.
I frowned and crossed my arms.
Why?
Because as of right now, he had some questions to answer.
