It was another day, and everyone was working hard at Kaiba Corp. They had business to do after all. Now with Jounouchi Corp (which Kaiba always called Wimpy Puppy Corp, even in official speeches) in business, Kaiba had to keep up with the new competition.
And what better way than upgrading his own Duel Disks, and then hiding the plans? That way, they'd be at the next level while the dogs would whimper behind them. Then they'd have to admit defeat and Kaiba would be number one once again.
Of course, they had to get some plans first.
So that's how the programmers of Kaiba Corp. went three days without sleep just trying to make the upgrades (Kaiba helping of course, considering it was his own company).
Meanwhile, on the other side of town, the very few workers of Jounouchi Corp. were also working hard. They in turn had to upgrade their system before Kaiba could. If they wanted to stay in business, moving ahead of the competition was the way to do it. Both companies had to make sure the other didn't catch up, or else they'd be doomed…
And that is how the very few brains of Jounouchi Corp. went to working on their plans for the next upgrade.
It was a week later, and everyone was ready for Kaiba's big announcement. Everyone in town (and around the world) was looking forward to seeing what the big company had in store for them. After all, it was Kaiba Corp, one of the best Duel Monster companies around…
On the other side of town, however, the other company was ready to make a big announcement as well. No one really had a clue what it would be. The others didn't know this new corporation like they knew Kaiba Corp. So the few people that had decided to come stood there and waited for the speech.
And at exactly the same time, both heads announced the next level of their dueling devices. They were dead even once again, and that pissed both of them off to no end. They were trying to beat the competition; how could they do that if the competition was even with them?
And that's how Jou and Kaiba met face-to-face to talk about it.
It was Jou that was talking his mouth off. Kaiba let him.
All he does is talk smack anyway, he though as Jou threatened him. He can't back it up. It's pathetic how someone with no brains is dead even with me… but not for long…
A week later…
Mokuba was on the computer playing Pong. There was nothing for him to do for the company at the moment. There were no tournaments going on, so he couldn't help those out in any way. He didn't duel, so he couldn't go duel other people. What else was there for him to do other than be bored and play Pong on his computer?
Well, Kaiba had plans for him…
"Okay!" he said once he had been told the plans. He really had nothing against Jou, but his corporation had to go down. No one could beat Kaiba Corp, or else there'd be no way for both of them to accomplish their goals...
So the boy started doing something that no one would expect him to do… well, on the other side that is.
The few workers of Jounouchi Corp were working really hard to get new dueling technology before Kaiba could. They had the current plans saved on the computer. Right now they were taking a coffee break. All this hard work called for rest.
Meanwhile, the big computer screen then went blank. The others froze, frightened. Unfortunately, no one knew how to fix a big giant computer. Bakura kicked it a couple of times, but that did nothing to help. Most then went around in circles, screaming their lungs out. If Jou found out, they would be dead.
"THE COMPUTER IS DOWN!!!" Yugi yelled.
"WE'RE GONNA DIE!!!!!!!!!" Anzu screamed, still running around in a circle.
Anzu's high-pitched screaming made Jou come out, and he didn't look too happy.
"What's going on?" he demanded, glaring at them all.
"The computer is broken and we can't fix it!!!"
Sighing, the teen then went to look at it. But he was not the guy to go fix computers, so he kicked it as well. The computer came on, however. Amazed, the others gasped. It seemed that Jou was a computer genius.
But he wasn't. There was a message on the screen:
"You've been hacked! Sincerely, Mokuba"
That made everyone, even Jou, run around in circles and scream their lungs out.
Little did they know that Kaiba and Mokuba were watching, and they were laughing at them the whole time.
Another short chapter. Oh well, at least I got it done!
