"What's going on?!" he thought as he spiraled down through darkness; down down down to the darkness.
"The death of the Pharoah is now being commerated."
"O mep qutridamy upu eoj rouy egasap yip twoth neterg te hsap eoj lew." the figure chanted as Kaiba opened his eyes, revealing to him a dusky corrider with a single hooded figure standing besides a block, not a coffin.
"Where am I?" Kaiba thought out aloud, but the figure ignored him and continued chanting. Darkness started swelling up through the edges.
Kaiba walked up to the person, but he paid no heed. "Where am I!?" He tried to grab him but passed right through, and the scene got cloudy again. He fell.
"As I walk through the corrider I see no entrance, or exit. Just a vast corrider. The cloud is building up and I feel that this place is strangely familiar. I try the first door.
What is going on?' I ask, answered only by silence. What is this? Am my senses being dulled by this strange fog? Why is the scene blurry? Why am I thinking in cryptic phrases?" he thought. The vision was growing clearer. He could barely make out the shape of a thing that looked strangely familiar. Another two figures walked in and sat out on the two ends. He could see now it was the distinct shape of a dueling ring. In such an ancient place? He shook his head and continued watching.
"Blue Eyes White dragon! Attack!" The shock waves bounced through the room and hit Kaiba full force. He was slammed against the wall and as his conciousness slipped again, he thought he saw Kaiba.
"Kaiba! Are you okay?" the familiar voice echoed as the focus cleared again. Mokuba!
"Yeah I'm fine." Kaiba replied, pondering over the figure he had seen earlier. Who was he, or she?
They climbed into the helicopter and took off toward Kaiba Corporation. During the trip, he thought, and he thought, and thought and thought.
"Kaiba, what are you going to do with those five executives? They did team up with Pegasus!" Mokuba commented, jarring Kaiba out of his thinking.
"Huh? What did you say?"
"I said what you would do with the Big 5?"
"Oh, I'll just fire them and then make their lives miserable. Serves them right."
"Right!"
The person started shining and then teleported in a flash of bright light. "Its not over yet. Although you still retain some of your powers, it is important that you will know."
"You are all FIRED! And thats final!" Kaiba shouted, banging his fist on the antique rosemary table in the conference room.
"If you would just listen to us you may find out that we have done much to benefit the-"
"Silence! Yeah yeah, you just are trying to trap me inside that virtual dueling game." He stopped short. How'd he know that?
"Uh oh-"
"That's right! Now get out!"
One former-executive whispered into another and then made a motion. Suddenly 28 bodyguards sprung out of various areas from the room.
"You're not getting away that easy!" Kaiba shouted punching two of the guards and ran out the door.
"Close off all exits! Don't let him get away. And find that little brat Mokuba!" the puny executive yelled as the conference room converted into a security room. "You may have gotten past Pegasus, but now we are in control!"
"Mental note, fire half of staff and cut salarys," Kaiba thought as he felt a arm graze him as he made his way to a secret passageway to his laboratory.
"Where did he go? You go that way and I'll check this way!"
Back at the control room, the executives watched the scene with glee. "Imagine that, Kaiba's company turned against him. Only a few bribes? That was too easy."
"How are the prisoners doing?"
"Cells 1 through 284 are at maximum capacity. No escapees detected yet." a voice sounded from the computer resonated.
"Good. Now let us see what Kaiba is up to this time. Computer, activate all pressure panels and activate all secondary and tetradary cameras."
"Thoughs idiots will never find me in here." Kaiba thought as he stepped out of the passageway, now a bookcase on ASL, a language that he had invented himself.
"Aha! Send the announcement that Kaiba is in section F51 in Kaiba Laboratories. Block all entrances and move in!"
"Man! I never should have installed those security cameras. Huh?" The door started pounding as voices started yelling. "God! They've already pinned down my location. There is only one way out now. He went back towards the bookshelf.
"Kaiba's approaching bookshelf 32 in his laboratory. Cross-reference all possible exits and block of that passageway!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
Grumbling from the stake of defeat, Kaiba mumbled, "They may take my company or my body, but never my mind!" He dove for the virtual-reality system and activated it as the door blasted open.
"Activation of pod 42 confirmed. User Identity: Seto Kaiba"
"Well, well well, it may have been delayed but Plan A came through anyway. Begin rogue programs and cut off the exitway.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Everything seems in order here, but I have to keep my guard up." Seto Kaiba thought as he appeared in a dark forest. "Hmm, a Blackland Fire Dragon, just as I had planned. Well, no sense in just standing around. END PROTOCOL 436 BEGIN SECRET REWRITE. ACCESS DESTINATION MAIN TERMINAL!" Nothing happened.
"It seems that everything has gone according to plan."
"Have we pinned down the location of Mokuba yet?"
"He is being carried to our office this very moment."
"Kaiba has just attempted to activate a rewrite protocol."
"Which one?"
"2431"
"Good, we deactivated that one."
"No!" Kaiba thought as his second Blue-Eyes got sucked into the Dragon Capture jar. "They must have rewritten that program!"
"Wait a second, guards 342 and 343 have stopped progress."
"That's impossible! Reboot the system!"
"Reboot complete. Oh No! guards 342 through 355 have vanished from our detection systems. We have a security breach at cell 213 and Kaiba Laboratories currently only has 1, no wait 0 guards on duty!" Everyone scrambled for more orders but the mysterious woman had already entered the Lab.
"Wait! I think the protocol is working!" Kaiba exclaimed as the visual started to whirl around as the program whirred to a start. Suddenly, he found himself standing on the Desktop of the main computer. "Great! Now lets shut these goons up for good. He started towards the switch that activated the stun guns.
"No Way! Kaiba has breached the firewall and is now currently in control of the main terminal!"
"Just one more switch"
"The stun guns are warming up! Abort program! Abort Program!"
Baang! Kaiba felt himself being flung back into an abyss.
"Stun Gun Program has been succsessfully aborted."
"Phew!"
"No wait! Oh n-"
Pow. 160 sleeping guards and executives lying scattered around the facility.
"Not Again!" Kaiba thought as he started walking down the deja vu hallways, except this time he felt someone was following him. His pace quickened as more as the footsteps grew louder. He dove into the shadow as two armor clad guards walked past him. But somehow, it didn't feel right. That unshakable feeling still didn't drop.
"Kaiba. Kaiba," a soft voice echoed through the corriders."Listen to me. This is not some fancy dreamworld that those bumbling executives have cooked up. This is something that has happened in the past." An image slowly appeared. "Long ago, Egyptians played a game of power. Games of great and terrible power. These games involved magical spells that took place in a mystical realm called the shadow realm. A powerful league of priests were entrusted with the organization of these shadow games." The voice paused, then continued, "Now do you understand what this has to do with you? You are the reincarnation of one of these ancient priests. Why were you the world champion?"
"But then how did Yugi Moto defeat me?"
"Yugi is one of the few individuals who posess the mystic Millenium Items. You see, back then, the Shadow Games erupted into chaos and one brave Pharoah sealed the power away into the 5 items. Yugi Moto is the bearer of the Millenium Puzzle. He is one of the chosen few. Many have been swayed by the Millenium Items Superior power to obtain all of them, but Yugi is different. Although he may be one of the few who will save the world, you will be monumental in his quest. Remember t h a t..."
The image slowly faded away revealing Kaiba standing up on the virtual reality system surrounded by ten dozing guards.
"Well, first things first! Let us get firing!"
