Kaiba clicked the little 'x' button on the program window when he was finished. The other him was muttering in his strange language and casting glares at him. Kaiba glared right back.
"What's your problem anyway?" He growled at him, not really expecting an answer, as he closed his brief case.
The other him struck out with a long staff, hitting Kaiba on the head. Kaiba hit the floor and growled low in his throat. He popped open the case and took out his holo-projector. It was state of the art, his newest model and the one he intended to use in the tournament he was planning. He shut the case, left it on the floor and strapped the device to his arm as he stood. No one hit him and got away with it. No one. (Except maybe Moukuba)
He flipped through his deck and found the card he wanted. He then activated the device, and watched with a glowing pride as his portable dueling field snapped into place. He put his card down on the monster space and leered evilly at his latest victim. The other him, began chanting and Kaiba wasted no time in calling fourth his beast.
"Be born, Blue Eyes White Dragon!" He commanded.
The holo-projectors lit up and the dragon formed from bits of light and microchips, howling its fury at anyone who would dare defy its master. Kaiba nearly fell over laughing at the priceless expression of utter shock on his counterparts face. The man then took off screaming like a lunatic down the hall. Kaiba composed himself before ordering his dragon to pursue and destroy. Thus, a rampaging dragon was loosed in the Temple of Ra, completely demolishing everything in site as it hunted.
Kaiba calmly picked up his briefcase and followed the dragon out of the room and into a hall, searching for an exit.
Sunlight caught his eye and he made his way toward a large porch type area framed in columns and an alter. He walked outside, and squinted around, waiting for his eyes to adjust.
"Kaiba no! Call it back! Call it back!" Yelled a frantic Yami as he ran towards the teenaged computer genius.
Kaiba looked down at his arm and plucked the card from the field, eliminating the dragon from existence. He gave Yami a level stare and glared.
Yami ran up the temple steps and stood panting as he looked up at Kaiba. He then noticed the thing on Kaiba's arm. It was similar to the portable dueling discs he used in Duelist Kingdoms in that it was strapped to his forearm. However all resemblance ended there.
"What's that?" he asked when he'd caught his breath.
"My newest Duel Disc system. It's a state of the art model that I built myself. I even have one for you Yugi." Said Kaiba as he popped open his briefcase and pulled out said Duel Disc. He handed it to Yugi who blinked at it for a moment before slipping it on him arm.
"Not bad, its not as heavy as it looks either." Said Yami as he tested moving his arm around with the Duel Disc on it.
"What's going on? Who wrecked my temple?" demanded Amenhotep in Egyptian as he surveyed the damage.
"This is Kaiba. His Blue Eyes White Dragon trashed your temple. Sorry about that." Said Yami.
"Since when do you speak Egyptian?" asked Kaiba in Japanese.
"Ya know Pegasus?" asked Yami as the others caught up to them and stared at the new Due Discs.
"Yeah." Answered Kaiba.
"Well, when I beat him the Millennium Eye fused with my Puzzle and I asked it to teach me Egyptian. Apparently a language barrier is no problem for it." Explained Yami.
" Is he a sorcerer? To have summoned a beast as powerful as a White Dragon is very advanced magic." Commented Amenhotep.
"Uh. No, not really. Kaiba is a programmer. Which is almost as good." Said Yami thoughtfully.
He then relayed the question to Kaiba in Japanese, causing Joey to snort and Kaiba to raise an eyebrow.
"What is a programmer?" asked Amenhotep.
Yami sighed, he had no idea how to explain it, having little knowledge of it himself and he really didn't want to go back and fourth between Kaiba and Amenhotep. Then inspiration struck.
"Hey Kaiba, how do you work this thing?" he asked, lifting his new Duel Disc.
"You press that button and it comes together on the outside of your arm as a dueling field. Five spaces for monster cards and five slots beneath them for magic and trap." Said Kaiba, demonstrating on his own.
"Got it." Said Yami as he slipped the Duel Disc off his arm and grabbed Amenhotep's.
Simon hissed at the rude behavior, but quieted when his pharaoh glared at him.
"Kaiba used his skill as a programmer to make this. It's a Duel Disc, a machine that summons copies of monsters." Said Yami as he strapped the Duel Disc to Amenhotep's arm and showed him the button. Amenhotep pushed the button and the machine moved, thoroughly shocking and scaring the young pharaoh. Simon looked ready to tear the thing off and Joey, Tristan and Teya were giggling at his expression.
Yami gave them each a reproachful look and pulled out his deck. He told the pharaoh to pick a card and put it on the space face up.
Amenhotep looked through the cards with a look of pure childlike glee. He finally selected the Dark Magician and put it on the space that Yami had pointed to.
To his utter amazement, the Dark Magician materialized in front of him. Amenhotep was gaping in wonder as the card turned to face him; as he had no opponents. Amenhotep reached out with shaking fingertips and very gently touched the Magician's arm. It was solid and real, and kind of slick.
The Dark Magician smiled fondly at him and waited patiently for the pharaoh to determine that he indeed existed.
"Good choice, he's my favorite." Said Yami as he smiled proudly at his Magician.
The Magician, who was floating half a foot off the ground, turned to his master and grinned. As far as he could tell, his master was one of the very best Duelists in the world and he was proud to serve him.
"This is amazing." Whispered Amenhotep reverently. "This is the power of the programmer?"
Yami blinked at him for a moment before laughing. He turned to Kaiba and translated for him. Kaiba smirked and shook his head.
"Is this the power that destroyed my temple?" asked Amenhotep.
"Uh. Yeah. Kaiba.well." Said Yami. He turned to his rival.
"Why did you destroy the temple?"
"There's this guy that looks like me and he attacked me so I set my Blue Eyes on his ass." Sneered Kaiba.
"He attacked you and you sent a Blue Eyes White Dragon after him. You are evil Kaiba."
Kaiba spread his hands in a sort of 'hey, it's what I do' gesture.
Amenhotep sighed, looking around at his damaged temple and then down at the wondrous device on his arm. This device, the power of the programmer, this power belonged to Yugi. The pharaoh slid his arm out of the band and gave the device up to his future self.
Yami took it, slid it over his arm and deactivated it. He retrieved his prized Dark Magician and slid the card back into his deck.
"Come. You will all be my guests." Said Amenhotep. Yami translated and they turned back towards the palace.
No one noticed the smoldering gaze of lowly priest. No one recognized the silver hair or the hazel eyes of Pegasus.
