BACK TO THE STORY

Chapter 6: Machines, Flying Girls, and Missing Brothers

Seto Kaiba was back at Kaibacorp HQ watching the progress of his tournament. He would never forget the day all this mess started.

~~~~ FLASHBACK ~~~~~

Kaiba is at the headquarters of Marik Ishtar, leader of the Rare Hunters and the owner of the most powerful Egyptian God Card, Winged Dragon of Ra. Yugi's Slifer and Kaiba's Obelisk wouldn't stand a chance. If Kaiba could somehow get the card, Yugi wouldn't be able to look at Kaiba without fear in his eyes. He just had to get the card. No exceptions.

Kaiba being great as a spy, like he did on Pegasus' island managed to avoid being seen or heard and had made his way to the tablet in which he kept the Dragon of Ra. Kaiba picking the locks had managed to get it and a piece of paper in which some words were written on it, and Kaiba noticed words on the card. (Could this be a translation of some kind, and what does it have to do with the Winged Dragon) he thought and then right before Seto Kaiba was none other than Marik himself.

"Bravo Kaiba, Bravo" Marik congratulated the angry teen. "You actually penetrated my fortress, slipped by my slaves and got my most powerful item, truly amazing skill. You will make a great mind control slave." Marik told him.

"Say what?" Kaiba asked. Then he noticed Marik pick up a rod and it glowed brightly for a second or two and Marik looked in shock. (Oh, no!) Marik thought (No one is too strong willed to not be controlled by my millennium rod! Let me look into this one's mind).

Marik dug his way through all the hatred, vengeance, and love all twisted in the mind of Seto Kaiba. Marik could sense his anger towards Yugi and tender love to Mokuba. (Mokuba! Of course, if I could get Mokuba into danger, Kaiba would do whatever I tell him to ensure his brother's safety. But where is he?) Marik was thinking. He kept digging and clawing through Kaiba's mind. It was plain and clear, he was waiting outside for Kaiba. (Perfect!)

"Mind slaves" Marik spoke telepathically. "Go outside and bring Kaiba's little brother to me." He kept talking. "Yes Master" was the only reply of the Rare Hunters.

Soon, you could here the shouts of Mokuba Kaiba to let him go and leave him alone and my big brother's going to kick your ass!

"Now the show begins!" Marik said as his rod shone brightly and Mokuba fell to the floor.

"Oh hell not again!" Kaiba whispered. "First Pegasus and then this fool" Kaiba muttered.

"Now Kaiba" Marik interrupted. "To ensure your brother's soul is." but in a flash second Kaiba was carrying Mokuba's body out and Marik was on the floor. Seto Kaiba had slit his throat.

Through the long hours of that night, Kaiba only thought (How can I save Mokuba?) But Kaiba remembered something, the first day he dueled Yugi Moto, the day Exodia was summoned he removed a piece of Kaiba's soul and if Yugi's puzzle lets him remove souls then it must let him give back souls. (I must get Yugi's puzzle) Kaiba kept thinking (No exceptions.)

ELSEWHERE

Mai Valentine and Bandit Keith were ready to go head to head. "Two finalists from Duelist Kingdom are dueling. Come on!" were the many cries in the street.

Yugi, Joey, and Tristan were just some of the spectators.

"Here I come hot-shot!" Mai announced.

"Bring it on, power pixie" Keith joked.

THE DUEL

Mai played Harpy Lady (shock!) (1300/1400) in attack mode and two cards face down. Bandit Keith played the Marizurame (1400/900?) and attacked Mai's Harpy, revealing her trap card, Mirror Wall, which cut Marizurame (700/900), then Mai revealed Cyber Shield and used it to power Harpy Lady and then attacked (BK Lp: 2900).

"If this is all you got, you had better go ahead and surrender!" Mai told the angry champion.

"Fine then, here we go!" Keith retorted and played two cards face down and then summoned Bat (300/350) on the defense.

"A BAT?!" Mai yelled half shocked and half amused. "Harpy Lady will swipe that bet to a thousand pieces, want to see? But first I'll play this one card face down for later, now! Go My Harpy, Cyber Claw attack!" The Harpy flew at the bat, activating Keith's trap card, Skull Dice, landing on a 4 put Harpy Lady at a 450 attack, and Keith activated his magic card, Graceful Dice, landing on a 3 put the Bat at 900 attack.

"Oh well! It will cream that Harpy. Bat Go! Supersonic Wave Attack! The Bat spewed waves that were blocked by the Mirror Wall.

"Hey, what happened?" Keith questioned.

"Simple, dork, my Mirror Wall is a permanent trap card. Every time you attack it will unleash the same effect over and over again!" And now, I'll activate my magic card, Spirit of the Hart which will put our monsters at their original attack strength, even though yours is only 150 because of my mirror wall trap and then reverses the effects of your Dice Cards, but that would mean my monster has only bingo 38 attack points while my Harpy is at a souped up 5400 so this shout put you out of this duel! (Oh no! How could I lose this quickly to I her /I! My master Kaiba will not be pleased at all.)

Now Harpy Lady, I play Elegant Egotist to triple you into the Harpy Lady Sisters! (1950/2100) but then I'll play this magic card, Malevolent Nuzzler, which will raise my Harpy's attack power to 2650! But that's not all, for a grand finale I play this monster card, the Fairy's Gift monster! Now, Fairy's Gift attack and Destroy Bat!

Fairy's Gift raised her want and mystic power came out of it, and wiped out Bat (BK Lp: 1538) and now to finish you off! I will have the Harpy Lady Sisters attack your life points directly! Now, go finish him off! X- terminator attack!

The Harpy's each had a glowing ball of energy, which combined to make an energy triangle, and out of that triangle came an X, which shot across the arena and straight to Bandit Keith. (BK Lp: 0), that was it. But little did anyone know Bandit Keith was one of Kaiba's mind slaves.

A/N: So Kaiba stole the Millennium Rod after killing Marik and abusing its power to control people's minds. Who else will he control? You'll have to wait and see! So, anyway, here's a preview:

We've seen Tristan and Mai duel; Joey and Yugi don't need to.who else is there? A duel between Blake (remember him from the Prologue?) and none other than Weevil Underwood in Chapter 7: Blake and the Bugs
