Chapter 2: The Rescue; Phase 01

Kaiba strode into his tech room with the superior swish of his cloak he loved. He had the weirdos wait outside, where they could watch from the glass window. He wasn't letting Doggy Boy in his beautiful electronics room, no matter how much you paid him.

"Mokuba, give me access to the Kaiba Corp Tracker Satellite, now."

"Sure thing, big bro!" Thank you Mokie, Seto said inwardly. You've served me well.

"Here it is! Now who do you want to locate, Seto?" Mokuba asked.

"Yugi Mouto."

"What? Yugi? What happened?"

"Another time, Mokuba. Now locate!" Kaiba said warningly. That was the only drawback to having your brother as a Vice President on your company. He was the only one who could stall or ask questions without getting fired. Mokuba shrugged and typed in a keyword, then Yugi's name. The computer kicked into action. .2546793 seconds later, the computer spat out an answer: Yugi was located travelling in a van on the freeway, on the way to Domino Airport.

"Got him!!" Kaiba muttered, then whirled out of the room, doling out instructions as he went.

"Mokuba, you come with me." With Mokuba on his heels, ten squads of plainclothes policemen on their way, and security well informed about the incident, Kaiba fell into a satisfied stride on his way to his personal Blue-Eyes jet. Ahhh, this is the life…

"Wow, so this is Kaiba's digs, huh!" Joey exclaimed, awed. "I wonder what that button does…"

"No no no no no no no no do not touch that, that's the console self-destruct button, I wouldn't touch that, Kaiba will be very very mad…"Tea said, beginning to hyperventilate with worry.

"Hey, speaking of Kaiba, where is he?" Duke asked, playing with his dice again. "Did he leave without telling us anything?"

"No."

"Huh?" All four of them spun around to find Mokuba and Seto Kaiba standing before them.

"We located Yugi Motou in a van on the freeway heading to Domino Airport. We sent out reinforcements and notified the authorities at the airport. They will be stopped at security, and won't get past until we get there. Now you two(he pointed to Tea and Duke) come with me. You two(here he indicated Joey and Tristan) go with Croquet here. Pegasus has lent me some of his men. Now let's move!" Kaiba motioned to the three others to follow him, and strode off to his jet.

As the journey in the van got slower, Yugi sat up. Yami let him take over, as these people would be less likely to hurt an innocent little kid, rather than an ancient pharaoh. For the first time, Yugi got a clear glimpse of his surroundings. The van was plain on the outside, but on the inside it was like a portable Kaiba Corp store. It had boxes and boxes of rare cards, as it said on the labels, and on the walls, dozens of portable duel disks. Yugi's confusion increased. These weren't Kaiba Corp designed duel disks… with a jolt, the van shuddered to a halt, and Yugi was roughly pushed out of the van.

"Wow…" was all Tea could say as the jet touched down for a perfect landing, three minutes later. "Do you always travel this way?"

"Yes, I do. I especially like the caviar service." Kaiba inwardly kicked himself. He was actually getting friendly with Yugi's Cheerleader Girl! Ugh. "We're here. Let's go."

They hopped out of the plane(Mokuba stayed) and ran to the terminal. Climbing the stairs to the gate, Kaiba slowed and pulled out his cell phone. He then told them to meet him at security, but to wait for him until they did anything. They complied, and while Kaiba dialled, they ran as fast as they could.

"Hey, it's me," Kaiba said into the phone. "It's done." Then he turned and ran back to the plane, with Mokuba already powering up the engines.
