Chapter 4

"Noah, we need to stop" Seto called out, Noah stopped. "Why, is this too much for you already?" Noah asked, a smirk growing on his face. "No, it's too much for him" Noah turned around and saw Mokuba barely on his feet, hanging onto Seto like a rope tied to safety. His eyes barely open. "Noah, it's late, let's make camp here." Noah only huffed and walked over to Mokuba and Seto. In short time they had created a fire, and the scene had changed once again. Mokuba had already fallen asleep, leaving Noah and Seto to talk and 'catch up' on things.

"Noah… you never going to win" Seto finally said, breaking the long silence. Noah looked up from the fire and glared at Seto. "Oh? And what makes you so sure?"

"I'm Mokuba's real brother, his blood, I'm his hero."

"Well while his 'hero' was on vacation, I was helping Mokuba live his life instead of ususelessly waiting for his pathetic hero."

"I was doing everything I could to overthrow YOUR father who put Mokuba in this place. Once I overthrew him, I knew I could get back to Mokuba."

"You only left him, waiting, hoping in the dark that his so called 'hero' would come. He never did. He hadn't for 6 years."

"I was doing the best I could."

"Well your best wasn't good enough!"

"Why do you want my brother so much?" Noah fell silent, Seto turned to him. Noah stared deeply into the fire. "You have no idea what's it like… what it's like to be alone… knowing your own father stuck you in some virtual world with no one at all… you just don't know… when your brother came… it was a miracle…" Noah turned to Mokuba who slept across from them. "He was a miracle…"

Seto was silent, for once, he felt sorry for Noah. But Mokuba was all he had… he was all Mokuba had, and no matter the cost, he wouldn't just lose his brother to a downloaded mind. "I'm sorry Noah… but for the past 6 years, I had no one, and Mokuba is all I have… no matter how bad your story is, I made a promise to Mokuba that I won't break…"

Now Noah glared back at him, "We'll see about that…"

"Hey guys… what are you doing up?" They turned to Mokuba. Mokuba climbed into Seto's lap, "Mokuba, you shouldn't be up, you need your rest" Seto said sternly. "Yes Mokuba, listen to Seto, your brother, as in me" Seto glared, "Says you need some rest." Mokuba rubbed his eyes once more.

"Nu-uh! Plus, you guys have been acting weird ever since Seto has gotten here, why?" Seto and Noah turned to each other. "Uh…" they both said at the same time. "Hey lookie!" Mokuba said, jumping off of Seto and then to the ground. Seto got up, "Mokuba, what are you doing??"

"Look!" Mokuba opened his clutched hands, he showed Seto a lizard, or a geko of some kind. "Mokuba, where did you get that?" Noah asked, walking over to it. "Just now, I caught it." The little geko looked up at Mokuba's big eyes in fright, "Ok, you guys gotta listen to me, we gotta get out of here if we wanna live" the geko said. They all eyed the geko in shock.

Seto quickly slapped the geko out of Mokuba's hands. "What the heck is that thing?! Noah, is this normal?!" Noah just shook his head, but Mokuba ran over to the little geko. "Hey! You almost hurt it!" he picked it up once again, "Hey little guy, I'm Mokuba."

"Hey Mok, hey, what's the other guys problems anyway?" he whispered to Mokuba. Mokuba giggled, "They've never seen a talking lizard as nice as you."

"I haven't seen a talking lizard at all" Seto said, Noah just eyed the thing and scratched his head. "Wait, what did you say before Setp slapped you?" Noah asked him. "Oh right, look, I'm Gieko, and there's a animal chasing-OH NO! It saw me!" Geiko quickly ran up Mokuba's sleeve. Mokuba turned around and looked up. It was an eagle… only 10 times bigger.

"Guys… we better GET OUTTA HERE!" Noah yelled, Grabbing Mokuba by the hand and running off. "What are you" Seto was hit to the ground by the eagle as it swooped down. Mokuba stopped, "Oh no! Seto's in trouble!" Mokuba quickly ran back.

"Wait, Mokuba!" Noah called. "Ok, kid, what are you doing?" Geiko asked, "I'm not leaving my brother to be bird food!" Geiko sighed, "Great, we're all gonna die now, and this kid thinks he stand up to an Eagle-X"

"X?"

"Yes, it's the second kind of animal species in this world, didn't you know?"

"Not in the 6 years that I've been here have I seen an animal-X, oh well, might as well fight it."

"WHAT?!" Geiko jumped out of Mokuba's shirt, "Well your own your own kid." Mokuba ignored him and ran over to Seto. "Seto, are you ok?" He asked bending down next to him. "Get down" Seto pushed him down as the eagle swooped with it's giant claws open. "He'll get you if ya don't get out of here!"

"I'm not leaving my brother alone." The eagle swep down and tried to grab Mokuba, Noah quickly jumped and moved Mokuba out of the way. "Noah, you saved me."

"Well we're all gonna need saving cause he's coming back!" Noah cried, pointing to the eagle. Seto grabbed Mokuba and shielded him as giant claws swooped them into the air.

Seto opened his eyes, thankfully Mokuba was still in his arms. "Hey, we're…" Seto looked down, they were 100 feet in the air. He looked across to the eagle's other claw, it clutched Noah. "Noah, what's going on here?"

"I don't know" he called back, "I didn't know this was part of the program, it actually wasn't at the beginning of all the years I've been here." Seto glared, "Well, then someone must be doing a little reprogramming."

"But who?"

"Where's your father?" Noah gasped. "I-I don't know." Seto clutched his fist and banged the claw, it split open, causing Seto almost to fall along with Mokuba. "Seto!" Noah called, staring at him hang from a 100 feet height. "Shimatta…" Seto cursed under his breathe, he slowly regained grasp on Mokuba and began pulled himself up.

Suddenly there was an eagle call, and it's body jerked to the side. Seto was loosing his grip and had fallen back to where he was because of the jerk. "Noah, what's going on?" Noah looked up. "Um… if we thought one eagle was bad, there's another one fighting ours!" Seto's eyes widened, it jerked once again.

'I've only got one chance, I can't let Mokuba down…' he looked down at Mokuba who lay unconscious in his arms. Now detrermined, he began trying to heave his feet into the claws. He began swinging himself back and forth.

"Hurry! The other eagle is coming back!" Noah called. 'Almost there… come on… almost there…' Seto thought to himself, sweat dripping down his face. "HANG ON!" Noah called, the eagle now flipped in the air, Seto lost his grip and began to fall. Noah reopened his eyes. "SETO!!!!! MOKUBA!!!!!!!!!!"
