Cyber Miracle.
Noah has joined the fight to help stop his father's destruction. Mokuba can't help but watch and hope he doesn't loose Noah to their Step father.
Virtual world
Noah, Yami, and Seto continue dueling against Gozuboro.
Gozuboro stares on, his jaw still hanging at the miraculous arrival of his son, but then lowers his head and begins snickering. "Mhehehehe... Noah, what threat could you pose to me now? You're too late! Right now, it's still Seto's turn to attack, and he can either attack my Viral Oni, subjecting all three of you to its grisly special ability, or he can wait and watch as my monster drains the last of his life points, as well as all of yours! Noah, your intrusion means NOTHING!"
Noah stares down at his duel disk hopelessly as his perfect score of 4000 is taken down to a mere 250, to the same level as Yami and Seto. "Accursed Mainframe card... I'm fully aware of the ability of your card, and it means nothing."
Seto scoffs in apparent agreement. "Hmph. That's right, dad. Noah's intrusion isn't for naught, like you claim. And, I'd also like to make it known that it's STILL my turn, and Noah just reminded me about a way I can defeat your monster now, but not lose the duel." He pulls a card out of his hand and holds it up for Gozuboro to see.
Gozuboro steps back in shock as he comes to terms with an unseen flaw in his strategy that Seto reminded him with his new card. "It's the Stamping Destruction trap card. Clever boy, you realized that the final special ability of Viral Oni isn't its own ability, but that granted to it by Mainframe.
Seto slides the card into a magic / trap slot in his duel disk with a flashy swing of his hand. "Yes, I know that, dad. It just took a small reminder from your real son to figure it out. And the best part is: Stamping Destruction can only be used with a dragon on the field. But, in exchange for the prerequisite, this magic card destroys one magic or trap card on the field AND takes 500 life points from the controller of the destroyed card, which in this case IS YOU!" He points at Gozuboro as his Blue Eyes White Dragon descends close to the ground. The mighty dragon roars majestically and crashes on the ground, near Gozuboro, causing Gozuboro to flinch in pain. (Gozuboro: 2000)
Yami stands off at the sidelines of this turn of events and sighs with relief. :::::Phew, that was close... If Seto hadn't have seen that move, we would've lost the duel. It's a good thing Noah came here to remind us, even if he only has 250 life points to fight his father with. But still, 2000 life points is a long way to go, so we're not out of the woods just yet...:::::
Seto shoots a cold glare at Gozuboro, and he then smiles at his Blue Eyes, which stands right in front of Gozuboro. "And now that your Oni is in defense mode, my Blue Eyes White Dragon can put an end to it. Blue Eyes, use BURST STREAM ATTACK!"
The Blue Eyes White Dragon swivels its long neck back to the crouching Viral Oni as lightning begins to gather in its mouth. It fires that lightning in a bright burst of energy, tearing apart the nearby Viral Oni. Viral Oni then explodes, kicking up dust that covers all four duelists.
The dust clears, showing all four players undamaged by the massive attack that had just occurred. (Yami: 250, Seto: 250, Noah: 250, Gozuboro: 2000)
Gozuboro draws a card from his deck, giving him the only card in his hand. He frowns as he places his card facedown onto the field. "I set my monster in defense mode. And that's it. Now, since Noah hasn't had a turn yet all duel, here's how the turns will go. First Noah will move on your next collective turn, then next time you move Yugi gets a turn. Then it switches back to Noah, and then to Seto, and again to Noah, and so on, but if I were you, I wouldn't count on surviving that long..."
Noah reaches for his deck, discouraged by his father's new ruling. :::::Everyone is counting on me. I can't blow it like I did last time. I don't have that kind of luxury in this situation. Father just placed half the weight of this whole duel on me, and therefore I have to make my moves count!::::: He pulls the top card off his deck, then sets that card onto his duel disk, as well as inserting one card into a magic / trap zone. "I play this monster in attack mode. Go now, Fenrir! And I activate the Hacker magic card, allowing any monster of level four or lower to attack the opponent's life points directly. And you know what happens when Fenrir attacks you directly, don't you, Father?" A large, silver-furred werewolf appears on Noah's side of the field. It glares coldly at Gozuboro with its piercing, blue eyes, snarling under its heavy, stinking breath. (1400/1200/4) It dashes closer and closer to Gozuboro, ignoring his facedown monster and reaching out at the old man with its claw. (Gozuboro: 600)
Seto barely cracks a grin as his stepbrother had successfully depleted a large majority of Gozuboro's life points. :::::Hmm, not bad Noah. So you can handle yourself during a computer crisis...:::::
Yami grins widely at the upset that Noah just made. :::::Alright, Noah! Now we finally have a fighting chance against Gozuboro!:::::
Gozuboro grits his teeth as the menacing beast had just taken a swat at his life points. "I know full well what your stupid dog does. If you launch a direct attack with Fenrir, I can't draw next turn." He shrugs his shoulder. "However, since I can't draw, and my hand is empty, I don't plan on making a move until I have the cards to make a move with. So I pass my turn. Go Yugi, it's your move."
Yami picks the top card off his deck quickly and impatiently. "It's about time, Gozuboro. I was getting tired of watching as you and your family solve your problems on the dueling field. But now, it will end." He reveals the card he drew, and then slides that card into his duel disk. "Go, Brain Control! This card lets me brainwash any face-up monster on the field that isn't already in my control. And I choose... the Blue Eyes White Dragon!" A giant, pink brain appears over Seto's dragon, and it shoots two arms out. These arms wrap around the dragon and drag it to Yami's field.
Seto stares at Yami out the corner of his eye and snarls. :::::Grrr, if I didn't know what Yugi was trying to pull, I'd demand an explanation for him robbing my dragon. But it seems that this duel is won.::::: He then shifts his gaze to Gozuboro and a sleight hint of worry can be seen in his eyes, as Gozuboro doesn't flinch at the near fatal maneuver that Yami used. :::::But, if that was it, then why isn't Gozuboro worried? That old geezer is definitely up to something...:::::
Yami stares at Gozuboro defiantly. "Now, Blue Eyes, attack Gozuboro's monster!" The Blue Eyes spits out another majestic white beam, blasting through Gozuboro's facedown card. The identity of the facedown card cannot be determined due to the haste in which it is destroyed. The card explodes, kicking up a blinding cloud of dust. Yami smiles, as he thinks that Gozuboro's field is cleaned. "Now, Dark Magician, attack Gozuboro's life points directly and end the game!" He points into the cloud of smoke.
Obedient to his master's command, the Dark Magician fearlessly jumps into the dust cloud. A pause begins as nothing happens to Gozuboro. Suddenly, a crash of glass can be heard. Seto, Yami, and Noah all grin, thinking that that sound was the sound of the Dark Magician's final attack, when to their horror, a red, ghostly claw reaches out of the dust, grabbing the Dark Magician like a child's doll. The grip then tightens on the purple- haired sorcerer, causing him to grunt in pain before being shattered. Before the dust could settle, the three knew what had just happened, though were unsure how it happened exactly.
Yami stares at the red claw as it retracts back into the cover of the dust cloud. The dust finally settles out, showing a large, infuriated, and familiar monster to the three: the Viral Oni.
Gozuboro begins cackling lightly. "Hehehehehe... Yugi, did you honestly think that I was going to fall for that? Well you shouldn't have! Because the monster that the Blue Eyes destroyed..." He takes the card that was in defense mode on his duel disk and shows it to Noah, Seto and Yami. "...it was a Spear Cretin, a monster who when sent to the Graveyard by an attack, allows all players to revive one destroyed monster. And I chose the Viral Oni, of course. What will you choose?"
Noah stares down at the ground. "I haven't lost any monster yet, so I can't use Spear Cretin's ability."
Seto rifles through the cards in his graveyard, trying to pick and choose his monster carefully, but finally settles on one card. "I summon Dark Blade in defense mode."
Yami grits his teeth. "Since Dark Magician was destroyed after Spear Cretin, I can't revive it. But I can revive Beta the Magnet Warrior in defense mode."
Gozuboro stares up at his monster with pride. "You already know that my Oni is the monster that I chose. After all, you were on the receiving end of a counterattack from it, Yugi." He snickers, then picks a card up off his deck. He then slides this card into his duel disk. "I play the magic card ROM Backup. This card removes one of my monsters from play until the end of my turn. However, for my trouble, I get to add one card in my Graveyard to my hand. And to get back to where I started, I want to bring back my Mainframe magic card. This way, instead of destroying you all one by one, I can skip my attack this turn and destroy you three all at once." A card shoots out of his graveyard, and Gozuboro immediately reopens the side compartment to his duel disk and places his new card back in this slot. This compartment then re-closes. However, the Viral Oni monster that was once on his field had now vanished. "That ends my turn, and now we're back to where we started. Back to you Noah, the most deceitful of my sons."
Noah draws his card as the Blue Eyes White Dragon that had been taken from Seto's side of the field is replaced to its original position, and Gozuboro's menacing Viral Oni reappears as well. He then stares up at Gozuboro's reappeared monster and gulps hard. :::::There's only one way out of this now...:::::
Gozuboro cackles loudly. "Ahahahaha! Let's see you try to escape this predicament like you did back in the Virtual Universe, Noah! And when you attack, you WILL FAIL! Though if you fail, ALL THREE OF YOU WILL LOSE THE LAST FRACTION OF YOUR COLLECTIVE LIFE POINTS! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Noah, Seto, and Yami stare hopelessly at the Viral Oni, wondering what, if anything they can do.
Real world
Mokuba is watching, anxious as to what's going to happen next. He begins pressing buttons on the computer.
"Come on there is something that has to happen." Mokuba says frantically looking on the screen and seeing everyone's stats at 0% percent, including Noah's.
"Geez, this isn't happening." Mokuba freaks. "I know something is still left from at least Seto's stats.
Looking on the screen and pulling up another one, he sees Seto's stats at 0%.
"This is not good, it's not good at all." Mokuba whispers. His frustration takes over as he slams his fist on the control panel. The screens he has open disappear and everything begins scrambling. Mokuba looks up to the screen to see everything going awry.
"Hey what's going on?" Mokuba asks looking at the screen and begins pressing a few buttons and seeing that nothing is happening. "I can't see them dueling. Hey can anyone hear me in there?"
Virtual World
Noah, Yami, and Seto are still focused on that one card, while Gozuboro watches impatiently.
"Come on and let's end this." Gozuboro says impatiently. "I have a network to completely take down."
"Well do have a chance or no?" Noah asks fearing the answer.
"I'm from the looks of it, no." Yami speaks. "I don't see a way out." Seto turns from their concentration and swiftly to Gozuboro.
"This is what I hated most about you "Dad." Seto yells. "You were always conceited, but since you've been dead, nothing has really changed. You're still the same popus jerk you've always been."
Gozuboro chuckles to himself, overhearing Seto's words.
"And that's what always hated most about you Seto my boy." Gozuboro chuckles. "You never put your cards where that big mouth of yours is."
"Fine let's get on with this." Seto says pulling a card of his, but not really bothering to look at it.
"Fine. Viral Oni, attack Noah's blue eyes white dragon, COMPLETELY ELIMINATING THEIR LIFE POINTS." Gozuboro yells now sending his monster to do his bidding. Before his monster can attack, it suddenly freezes in place.
Yami, Noah, and Seto watch as his monster quickly freezes in time.
"What happened?" Noah asks staring at the monster.
"It must have been Mokuba." Seto says not taking his eyes off the monster, making sure it's not one of Gozuboro's tricks.
"Cut the chase Gozuboro, what is this?" Yami yells to him. "Another one of your tricks?"
"I swear I'm not doing that." Gozuboro yells to him, trying to figure out himself what happened. "My monster just froze."
"If you didn't do it father, then who did?" Noah asks not taking his eyes off the field.
Suddenly a blinding flashing light appears out of no where, halfway blinding everyone.
"What is that?" Seto asks in frustration shielding his eyes.
"It was I who stopped the duel." A heavenly woman voice says within the lights.
"Who said that?" Yami asks trying to see around the blinding lights. In plain view, the light disappears, revealing a woman with light brown skin, light brown toned skin, light blue eyes and wearing all white, like a goddess gown.
Seto, Yami and Noah all turn in the direction of the woman. Seto's jaws slowly sink.
"You!" Gozuboro fumes. "I thought we had a deal."
The woman turns her head slightly to him.
"The deal is off." The woman speaks. "I can't sit idly by while you destroy the internet for your pleasure."
"Who are you?" Seto slowly asks mouthing the words, his eyes locking on to the woman.
"My name is Pernia, the Kaiba Corp Anti-Virus system." The woman speaks.
"You're my....." Seto chokes out.
"That's right, I am Kaiba Corporation's Anti-Virus system." Pernia repeats.
"If you're his Anti-Virus system, then why didn't you stop his network from being taken down?" Yami inquires.
"I was forced by that man, to disable all his quarantines and possible repairs." Pernia says pointing to Gozuboro. "He made a promise to me that I thought would come true."
"And what promise was that?" Noah asks, observing the woman.
"To one day give me a better life." Pernia speaks out closing her eyes. "Better then here."
"You just ruined out deal." Gozuboro yells to her.
"I was a fool to ever believe you, but never again will I ever take orders from you Gozuboro." Pernia says in his direction. "I should have known that your promises were as empty your heart is."
Gozuboro growls.
"Smart woman." Seto mouths, continuing to stare at the woman, now with tiny sparkles appearing in his eyes. Yami turns to Seto and sweat drops.
"He's hopeless." Yami mumbles to himself.
"You foolish woman." Gozuboro yells. "You'll forever be stuck in this virtual hell and never know the real world."
"If it means being there with you, I would rather be here." Pernia speaks out. "At least here, I can be free, at least before I came across you."
"And she has her own mind." Seto speaks, continuing to stare with the sparkles in his eyes.
"Can you focus for just one minute Seto?" Yami calls out to him.
"I am free from your bonds and will no longer listen to your destructive orders." Pernia says raising her voice a bit. "Consider this my resignation."
Pernia raises her hand, destroying Gozuboro's cards on the field and in his hand.
"My monsters!" Gozuboro yells noticing his monsters completely disappear from the field.
"Those cards and yourself has done enough damage." Pernia speaks putting her hand down. "This is the end to your destruction Gozuboro."
Gozuboro growls, now running behind Noah and Picking him up.
"Put him down Gozuboro!" Yami yells to him.
"If I can't win this duel, then I will have something else." Gozuboro yells.
"Put....me....down....father..." Noah chokes out, now feeling his body being overcome by some kinda of feeling.
"What are you doing to him?" Seto asks snapping out of his world and turning to Gozuboro, holding Noah up.
"If I can't win the duel and trap all three of you here, then I'll take the only away the only thing that brought the Kaiba family together after I was gone." Gozuboro yells, now sticking his hand on Noah's back.
"Put Noah down." Yami yells.
Real world
The computer screen becomes clear, now showing Mokuba what's going on in the virtual world.
"Oh no, He's going to infect Noah." Mokuba yells.
Virtual world
Yami, Seto, Noah, and Pernia hears Mokuba and what he had to say.
"I see my wit rubbed off on yet another one." Gozuboro chuckles.
"Is it true as to what he said?" Yami yells.
"It is indeed true." Gozuboro speaks up. "If I can't win the duel, then I'll just take my son Noah back with me. That way I'll have something."
"Help.....me..." Noah chokes out.
What are they going to do in this case?
A/N: Ok chapter 8, finally here and done, completed. It was a delay due to my co- author dealing with other things, but took the time to provide us with this gracious duel. Thanks you buddy and thanks to Koneko for the idea of the Anti-virus program thanks you as well. No flames and you know the rules.
Review and thanks.
Chapter 5,6, and 7 of Soul sire is now out. Please be sure and check that out as well.
Noah has joined the fight to help stop his father's destruction. Mokuba can't help but watch and hope he doesn't loose Noah to their Step father.

Noah, Yami, and Seto continue dueling against Gozuboro.

"Who said that?" Yami asks trying to see around the blinding lights. In plain view, the light disappears, revealing a woman with light brown skin, light brown toned skin, light blue eyes and wearing all white, like a goddess gown.
Seto, Yami and Noah all turn in the direction of the woman. Seto's jaws slowly sink.
"You!" Gozuboro fumes. "I thought we had a deal."
The woman turns her head slightly to him.
"The deal is off." The woman speaks. "I can't sit idly by while you destroy the internet for your pleasure."
"Who are you?" Seto slowly asks mouthing the words, his eyes locking on to the woman.
"My name is Pernia, the Kaiba Corp Anti-Virus system." The woman speaks.
"You're my....." Seto chokes out.
"That's right, I am Kaiba Corporation's Anti-Virus system." Pernia repeats.
"If you're his Anti-Virus system, then why didn't you stop his network from being taken down?" Yami inquires.
"I was forced by that man, to disable all his quarantines and possible repairs." Pernia says pointing to Gozuboro. "He made a promise to me that I thought would come true."
"And what promise was that?" Noah asks, observing the woman.
"To one day give me a better life." Pernia speaks out closing her eyes. "Better then here."
"You just ruined out deal." Gozuboro yells to her.
"I was a fool to ever believe you, but never again will I ever take orders from you Gozuboro." Pernia says in his direction. "I should have known that your promises were as empty your heart is."
Gozuboro growls.
"Smart woman." Seto mouths, continuing to stare at the woman, now with tiny sparkles appearing in his eyes. Yami turns to Seto and sweat drops.
"He's hopeless." Yami mumbles to himself.
"You foolish woman." Gozuboro yells. "You'll forever be stuck in this virtual hell and never know the real world."
"If it means being there with you, I would rather be here." Pernia speaks out. "At least here, I can be free, at least before I came across you."
"And she has her own mind." Seto speaks, continuing to stare with the sparkles in his eyes.
"Can you focus for just one minute Seto?" Yami calls out to him.
"I am free from your bonds and will no longer listen to your destructive orders." Pernia says raising her voice a bit. "Consider this my resignation."
Pernia raises her hand, destroying Gozuboro's cards on the field and in his hand.
"My monsters!" Gozuboro yells noticing his monsters completely disappear from the field.
"Those cards and yourself has done enough damage." Pernia speaks putting her hand down. "This is the end to your destruction Gozuboro."
Gozuboro growls, now running behind Noah and Picking him up.
"Put him down Gozuboro!" Yami yells to him.
"If I can't win this duel, then I will have something else." Gozuboro yells.
"Put....me....down....father..." Noah chokes out, now feeling his body being overcome by some kinda of feeling.
"What are you doing to him?" Seto asks snapping out of his world and turning to Gozuboro, holding Noah up.
"If I can't win the duel and trap all three of you here, then I'll take the only away the only thing that brought the Kaiba family together after I was gone." Gozuboro yells, now sticking his hand on Noah's back.
"Put Noah down." Yami yells.
Real world
The computer screen becomes clear, now showing Mokuba what's going on in the virtual world.
"Oh no, He's going to infect Noah." Mokuba yells.
Virtual world
Yami, Seto, Noah, and Pernia hears Mokuba and what he had to say.
"I see my wit rubbed off on yet another one." Gozuboro chuckles.
"Is it true as to what he said?" Yami yells.
"It is indeed true." Gozuboro speaks up. "If I can't win the duel, then I'll just take my son Noah back with me. That way I'll have something."
"Help.....me..." Noah chokes out.
What are they going to do in this case?
