Chapter 6: Net Defenses and Quarantines
After arriving to the Internet, Seto sees someone he thought he would never see again.
"IT JUST CAN'T BE." Seto yells now seeing the sight in front of him and Yami.
"I can't believe it either, but it's him." Yami says also not believe the sight in front of him as well as Seto.
Real World
Mokuba and Noah, who have monitoring Seto and Yami's activities, are also getting an eye full of what they are looking at.
"Is that?" Mokuba begins.
"I'm afraid so." Noah says, finishing Mokuba's sentence. "It's unbelievable, but it is him."
Virtual world
"GOZUBORO?" Seto yells outloud. "So you're the one behind that Gozblast virus that took down my network."
"Yes it's me Seto, and I'm here to finish the job that wasn't done from before." Gozuboro says now taking a form of a human from the worm's form.
"I thought you were deleted in the explosion." Yami says with a low growl occurring in this throat.
"Before the computer was hit by the missile, I backed my mind up on to another computer, which saved every bit of my information." Gozuboro says grinning, which is getting Seto angrier.
"That's impossible. When that missile hit, YOU were deleted. I know you were because Noah made sure you didn't get out when we escaped." Seto yells.
"My son Noah is a naïve fool to ever think he has the upper hand over me, the one who has taught him all he knows now." Gozuboro gloats.
Real world
Noah begins to mumble under his breath. A few or more curse words can be heard. Mokuba just stares at him, with no words of his own to say.
Virtual world
Noah is much smarter then you ever gave him credit for." Yami says with his anger rising. "He, along with Mokuba, helped us get here."
"I don't know how he could ever call you a father, not with the way you talk down to him." Seto yells balling up his fists. "The only love you have ever shown him, me and Mokuba was bought, nothing from the heart and to make sure that you never hurt anyone again I'm going to TAKE YOU DOWN."
"Fine Seto if you want to have it your way then I challenge you to a duel. You and Yami against me." Gozuboro says, shrugging off the cold glare Seto is giving him.
"That's out numbering him." Yami says turning to Seto.
"Yes Yami, like a tag team." Seto says not turning to Yami and keeping his eyes on Gozuboro. "It's a bet and winner take all."
"Like always, I will always be superior to you." Gozuboro says grinning at Seto.
"Cut the chit chat and let's just duel." Seto says as him and Yami pull out their decks. Gozuboro pulls out his deck and arranges it.
Seto, Yami, and Gozuboro ready their duel disks, preparing to begin the duel.
Gozuboro draws his hand of five cards confidently. Hehehehe, and when I finally erase this ingrate of a 'son' from existence, I'll be able to return to the real world in his body. And with that spiky haired runt out of my way, Seto's ruined reputation will no longer be tarnished by his failure!
Seto draws a hand of five cards, then picks a sixth card off his duel disk. "I'll take the first turn, Gozuboro!"
Yami turns to face Seto. "Kaiba! We must be a team on this! You can't beat Gozuboro alone, you need my help..."
Seto scoffs at Yami's offer. "Hmph, nonsense, I never needed anyone's help on my life, Yugi, so stay out of my business!" He turns to face Gozuboro. "I begin this duel with my Dark Blade, in attack mode!" He throws a card on his duel disk. In front of Kaiba, a tall warrior in black armor appears in front of Seto. (1800/1600/4) "Combat this monster if you can, 'dad'!" Kaiba mocks sarcastically.
Gozuboro picks up a card. "Oh, I'll do more than that, Seto. Or have you forgotten what I've spent years teaching you, power isn't everything. Do you remember that, boy?"
Seto only snarls at Gozuboro.
"Is that a no, Seto?" Gozuboro mocks. "Then I'll have to re-educate you on that matter, using my Ryu-kishin Powered!" He throws a card onto his duel disk and a giant pink-colored gargoyle with a dragon-like face appears. (1600/1200/4)
Yami stares on. Rrr, Gozuboro is trying to make Seto play carelessly by angering him. If Kaiba can't keep his cool under pressure, he won't be able to duel his former father as effectively as he claims...
Gozuboro resumes his turn, holding up another card. "Well, Seto, since you never learned this lesson in your studies, I'll have to teach you the power of my strategy the hard way with my Mainframe magic card!"
Kaiba's and Yami's jaws drop in shock. "Mainframe?"
Yami raises a fist. "Gozuboro! Tell us, what does this card do?!"
Gozuboro snickers maniacally. "You'll just have to find out, you fools! But in the meantime, I order Ryu-kishin Powered to attack my 'son's' Dark Blade!" The pink gargoyle jumps towards Kaiba's swordsman and rams into it. The Drak Blade shatters.
Kaiba stares in shock at his life point counter as his life points drop form 4000 to 3700. "Hey wait a second here, Gozuboro!" Kaiba exclaims. "My monster was stronger, so how come my monster was not only destroyed, but my life points were reduced by 300?" He stares at the Ryu-kishin monster in shock to see it glowing with a red corona.
"What happened to the Ryu-kishin?" Yami shouts at Gozuboro.
Gozuboro only snickers at Yami. "Nothing, compared to what happened to your life points, Yugi!"
"What?" Yami exclaims as he stares down at his duel disk to see his life point scare decrease from 4000 to 3700, just as Kaiba's score had dropped. "What trickery is this, Gozuboro?"
Gozuboro continues to snicker at the clue-less-ness of the two unfriendly allies. "To answer your stupidity, my Mainframe magic card causes both of you to lose life points as one player loses them. And in addition, by playing Mainframe, my Ryu-kishin is not a normal Ryu-kishin any more..." Gozuboro points at Ryu-kishin. "Notice the red glow. This is due to the fact that when played along with Mainframe, Ryu-kishin becomes even stronger, turning it into Infected Ryu-kishin, giving it 500 extra attack points whenever I declare an attack. See, Seto? Power isn't everything, mwuahahaha!"
Yami raises a hand and points at Gozuboro. "Enough, Gozuboro! Your monster may now gain extra powers from your Mainframe card, but how are you so sure that neither of us have monsters that can also turn into infected monsters when played on this field?"
Gozuboro takes a step back in fear. "Grr, so what? What are the odds that you have a card that can gain extra powers from the Mainframe card I played?"
Yami touches the top card of his deck, ready to draw it. "The 'odds' don't matter if I believe in the Heart of the Cards, and it is my faith in the Heart of the Cards that will allow me to draw the monster I need to beat your Ryu-kishin Powered." Yami draws his card.
Kaiba raises a fist at Yami. "Would you quit it with your 'Heart of the Cards' already?! I'm sick of it!"
Yami stares at his cards and grins widely at Gozuboro. He throws the card onto his duel disk. "Say what you will about the Heart of the Cards, Kaiba, but it will be the Heart of the Cards that will allow us to prevail in this duel, and my faith grants me a monster as strong as Beta, the Magnet Warrior, in attack mode!" A yellow rock-like humanoid figure with magnet ears, hands and feet appears. (1700/1600/4)
Kaiba glares at Yami again. "What're you doing? Ryu-kishin gains 500 attack points on every attack, next turn, he'll destroy your magnet warrior easily!"
"KAIBA!", Yami interrupts. "You must pay attention to the card rulings that Gozuboro mentioned. It's true that if Ryu-kishin attacked Beta, Beta would be destroyed, but if Beta attacks Ryu-kishin first..."
Gozuboro grits his teeth.
Yami points at Ryu-kishin forcefully. "Beta, attack the infected Ryu- Kishin, NOW!" At Yami's command, the magnet warrior raises its arms and fires a blast of lightning at the Ryu-kishin powered, destroying it.
Gozuboro glances down at his life point counter, watching his score lower from 4000 to 3900. He closes his eyes and snickers to himself. "Mehehehe, MUAHAHAHA! You think that attack is enough to defeat me?! One hundred life points are nothing! And I have more infected monsters to come after you, so beware, this duel is FAR from over! AHAHAHAHAHA!"
Kaiba raises an eyebrow. "You're crazy, 'pops'. I should probably ditch you in some nursing home program when I beat you. Make your move."
Gozuboro picks the top card off his deck and adds it to his hand. "As you wish, Seto. You'll regret those words when I summon my Giant Germ to defend me!" He pulls a card from his hand and throws it onto his duel disk with authority. A giant microbe-looking monster appears in front of Gozuboro.
Kaiba grits his teeth as Gozuboro's monster appears. "And I'm willing to bet that this monster has a special ability that would prove devastating should someone try to attack it, right?" He draws his card. "I set one card face down on the field and summon my Dark Clown Saggi to protect my life points. Make your move."
Yami grins. "Good move, Kaiba. If we keep our defenses up then Gozuboro's monsters won't be able to take advantage of our overconfidence anymore."
Kaiba shoot s a glare at Yami. "Shut up, Yugi! I'll win this duel without your help. I could've figured out how to beat my stepfather's blasted Ryu- Kishin on my own, and I can do the same to his Giant Germ, you got that?"
Gozuboro cackles to himself. "Hehehe, well well, son, you're more like me than you claim."
Kaiba glares back at Gozuboro. "I'm not going to fall for that again. I end my turn without attacking your stupid Giant Germ."
Gozuboro draws the top card of his deck. "Oh well, Seto. You should've attacked me back there. But because you didn't you get to watch as I destroy you and Yugi with my all-powerful virus card!" He holds a card from his hand above his head as he cackles madly.
Yami stares on in fear. "Oh no, what card are you holding, Gozuboro?! Answer me!"
Real world
Mokuba and Noah continue to watch the Duel from the computer on the outside.
"I hope they win this duel and get out without any trouble." Mokuba says as he and Noah continue to watch the duel.
"The only thing we can do is wish now Mokuba and hope for the best." Noah says not sounding too sure of himself and the duel.
