Prologue
"Are you sure this is the only way?"
A brunette, brown-eyed 16 year old female of average height addressed a blonde woman of 27 years old. They were in a large room surrounded by futuristic technology in the year 2455. The blonde nodded and replied,
"Yes, I'm afraid so. If there was another option, I'd be more than happy to welcome it. But all the instruments show that taking this course will result in the best chance for the timeline to be set right and for the heroes to return."
The brunette sighed sadly and replied, "I-I understand. Still, killing someone… Well, I mean, he isn't exactly the nicest person from that time, but is he really the cause of so much strife?"
The blonde replied, "Yes. All my calculations have come to this conclusion. He is the cause. He's the reason that Yugi, Jaden, Yusei, and Yuya no longer exist. Plus, he's indirectly responsible for the deaths of so many people from different time periods, including Andrew's."
The brunette teared up upon hearing Andrew's name, as Andrew was her little brother who perished when the timelines and universes were split.
The blonde smiled sadly and continued, "Alex, I know it's hard, and I don't usually condone the death of an individual. But think of it as sacrificing one to save millions. Also, there's a very high probability that Andrew will exist again."
The brunette called Alex nodded sadly and replied, "Ok, Cas. I get it. I can do this mission, and I can get Andy back."
Cas, as Alex called her, smiled and replied, "You're the best agent I have. I know things have been really difficult for you. This will set everything right. You have my word."
Alex replied, "Ok, let's do this."
Cas nodded and called for her assistant, requesting that certain items be brought. The assistant arrived shortly after, handing the requested items to Alex. Cas said,
"We've packed your belongings and inside your duffel bag, there are clothes from that time period as well as a communication device to keep in contact with me. Once your mission succeeds, I'll be able to bring you back here. We've set everything up for you. You'll be teleported to your apartment in Domino City, and arrangements have been made for you to attend Domino High as well as an internship at Kaiba Corp. You've already been briefed, but do you have any questions before I send you?"
Alex shook her head and replied, "No, I'm good. I'll admit this won't be easy, but I know I'm doing it for a greater purpose."
Cas replied, "It'll all work out. Now, you know what to do."
Alex nodded and taking her belongings, she stepped onto a raised metal platform. Meanwhile, Cas stood behind a panel with several buttons. Once Alex calmed herself, Cas pushed the necessary buttons on the panel and a bright yellow light surrounded Alex. Within a few seconds, Alex was teleported away from the room, heading to Domino City during the time when Yugi, Kaiba, and some other important figures from that time period resided.
Once there was no trace of Alex, Cas sighed deeply. The assistant looked to her and asked, "Ma'am, on the risk of sounding impertinent, should you not have told Alex the other option?"
Cas looked back at her assistant and replied, "Perhaps, but that would take a miracle. And it's not like Alex is suddenly going to fall for him, not with her track record with guys. It's just better this way and it has a higher chance of success."
The assistant replied, "I understand, but that's a tall order. I mean, there's no way I'd be able to assassinate Seto Kaiba."
Please let me know what you all think about this. Constructive criticism, please. I have a certain direction I'd like this story to go, but I want to find out the interest, so I can figure out how often to upload new chapters. Thanks! ^^
