Kaiba arrived with Mokuba at Kaiba Corp's labs and immediately demanded to know what the card that will give him the victory was. Though, it seemed that something was not right, he could have swore all the men that were in the room were almost shivering.
"What did these morons do now"- Kaiba thought
Mm, sir, I'm afraid we made a mistake- one of the men started
What kind of mistake?- he said trying to hold himself
Well, you'll see, indeed there is a very powerful card but not enough to destroy de the god cards, we thought it was, but we were wrong. We'll keep working on it-
You were supposed to find a strategy, but you haven't, I have given you more than enough time, and I think you should start looking for new jobs.
But Mr Kaiba, just give us one more week-
So you can fail again, sorry. I'll have to do it myself. Now get out- he said coldly as he walked out the room
Oh man- Mokuba lowered his head and whispered to himself
While he walked through the corridor, Kaiba thought that maybe Pegasus got the answer he was looking for. He'd have to find out.
Next day, Isabelle woke up early as she was starting to get used to now that she moved to the Kaiba mansion. She was still intrigued about yesterday afternoon. Kaiba didn't answer her questions as she wanted, and then he disappeared with Mokuba until the rest of the day. She wondered what they were up to.
She went downstairs expecting to have breakfast, but for her surprise she did not find anyone in the room. Not Mokuba chatting 'bout his new video game nor Kaiba scolding at him for talking too much and not eating his toasts. The table wasn't even set. It was kind of strange. She went to the kitchen, finding Lynette preparing breakfast. The woman noticed the girl in the frame of the door.
Good Morning Ms Isabelle-
Morning Lynette, mm, do u know if Kaiba and Mokuba are up?
Didn't they tell you?-
If they have I wouldn't be asking-
Right. Well, both of them went out, in a trip. They won't be back until tomorrow. But the driver will take you to school or anywhere you want-
I can believe this! It's like I don't exist in this house. Is that hard to tell me "Hey Isabelle we won't be here tomorrow 'cause we're leaving without you, so you will stay here all alone completely bored 'cause you don't know the city and no one else but us"-
I'm sure Mr. Kaiba thought you would get bored in his trip-
But Mokuba wouldn't, right? I don't know how much longer I will take his attitude. Just because I'm the stranger here doesn't mean he has to treat me like dirt-
I'm sure those weren't his intentions-
Lynette listening to herself, she knew that wasn't true, but what could she tell to the poor girl.
Isabelle started eating the French toast the woman had prepared for her as she thought about yesterday's afternoon again. Maybe Lynette could answer her questions.
Lynette –eating- Have you heard about this guy, the King of Duelists?
How couldn't I Ms? Everyone knows him, and not to mention that is one of the headaches of Mr. Kaiba-
Why?-
Well, you'll see, it's not like anyone doesn't knowthis so I will tell you. Mr Kaiba used to be the champion of the whole world in the duels of monsters-
Wait there. What is that? That duel thing?-
Oh Ms, I'm not the one to explain so. You should better eat faster if you don't want to be late for school-
You're right. But let me see if I understood something, Kaiba used to be the champion but someone else beat him, and now this guy is the King of duelists?-
You've got that right. The young Yugi Moto, the one who stole Mr Kaiba's title-
Isabelle finished her breakfast and thanked the woman. She went away thinking about what Lynette just had told her. Now everything made a perfect sense. That's why he was so mad when she was in the crowd, and that was the reason of his attitude. Though, she wanted to know more. She really didn't know anything about him. And that made her want to know more, but there were still other thoughts bothering in her head.
Flashback-
Isabelle is sitting alone at the front part of a car at night. She checks out her watch. She gets out of the car. She starts walking. She hears some voices behind the bushes nearby. One of them it's his brother's. Then, she hears a gunshot. She worries and hurries to find out what's going on. Passing through the bushes she reaches the street of the other block, two figures are standing, one of them holds a gun. He drops it, and then both get in a car black car. None of them notice Isabelle. She waits for them to leave and walks a few steps. She sees his brother lying on the street. He's bleeding. She runs to him and starts to cry.
End of flashback-
Marco- Isabelle whispered at the same time a tear escaped from her eyes
The blue eye white dragon plane landed finally on the island of the destination. Kaiba got out from it and looked for the man who will give him what he needed.
Pegasus was lying on a declinable chair near the pool, holding a glass of red whine, which helped him to spy his visitant.
Oh, can it be, my dear friend Kaiba boy- Pegasus said pleased as he got up from the chair to greet the tall brunette who was approaching
Spare me the pleasantries, Pegasus. You and I have never been friends, so let's not start pretending that we are- Kaiba responded insolently
Oh my, sounds like someone needs a hug- the man joked still holding the glass of wine
No thanks, but since you mentioned it, there's something I need. Listen! I've come to your little fantasy island in search of a card powerful enough to beat Yugi's three Egyptian god cards –
And you believe I might have all these powerful gods mighty cards because…-
Because you created the game Pegasus-
Once upon a time Kaiba boy, but I'm retired now. The only things I create these days are places like these for the fishies to enjoy-
I know you Pegasus! You created the god cards and you would've never let them out of your sweaty little hands unless you also created a way to beat them just in case-
Oh very well, I confess. I may have one card that'll help, but you can't have it-
What!- Kaiba exclaimed angrily
At the time she arrived the school, it was a minute left until the bell rang. She had to pick up her books from her locker and run very fast if she didn't want to get a late mark in her record.
She took all the tons of books and didn't even have a chance to put them on her backpack so she had to carry them, making it difficult for her to run and see at the same time. Everyone was also walking rapidly in the halls, pushing her several times, like it wasn't difficult enough to be the new girl and be lost. Then she felt a big push from behind, which made her fall down and hit her head pretty bad with all the books she was carrying
I'm so sorry- a male voice apologized.
She shook his head and stoop up, trying to fix her uniform. A small boy with spiky hair and big purple eyes was looking at her in concerned.
It's ok; actually it's my fault for arriving late. I think I already am. Would you help me to pick this up?-
I'm so sorry, though. I'm late too. Are you new here, I haven't seen you that much
Yes, I'm the newbie. This is my second day. Don't know anything here yet. Not to mention anyone either, well except for this Kaiba guy-
You know Kaiba?
Yeah-
Wow meeting Kaiba on your first day, it's something really… weird
It's not exactly like that. I'm kind of staying in his house for a while-
Oh I see… I think we should better get going. What's your next class?
Advanced Physics-
I'm taking that too… I would be your tour guide- the little boy proposed her with a big childish smile on his face-
Well thank you very much. I haven't got your name. I'm Isabelle Corleone-
Nice to meet you Isabelle. I'm Yugi Moto-
So she had finally met the so spoken King of duelists. She never thought he was going to be so young. He really looked like a nice kid, but what was a duel anyway. She'll find out now.
After offering his three blue eyes white dragon cards as a reward if he lost, Pegasus accepted to have a duel with Kaiba and give him THE card if he won.
The duel had begun and the scores were now 2100 life points for Kaiba and 2900 for Pegasus.
It was Pegasus turn, and the only monster on his field was "The toon dark magician girl". He used "Monster reborn" to bring back "The Gemini elfs", then he played "Ultimate offering" to bring to the field a new monster for 500 of his life points. He sacrificed "The Gemini elfs" and summoned "The blue eyes toon dragon". Later he brought for another 500, "The toon summoned skull".
Sure I'll have to give up another 500 of my life points. But you know what they say Kaiba boy. You have to spend life points to take life points. Of course you know all about that. Yugi's been taking your life points for what going on for three years now. Oh I'm sorry to keep bringing that up- Pegasus couldn't help to make fun of Kaiba's never ending losses against Yugi
Kaiba ignored the commentary and activated "Dark cord" to remove one monster. Pegasus was going to remove the "The toon dragon" but Kaiba stopped him. He discarded one card from his hand and then removed his "X canyon". Pegasus was astounded. He didn't get what the brunette was doing. Kaiba continued to active "Soul Release" to remove his "Y dragon head". Later he summoned "Z metal tank".
That makes no sense, unless!- Pegasus replied trying to figure out his opponent's tactic
Unless I still have one more card to play, Pegasus. And it so happens I do. Active "Return from the different dimension"-
Kaiba now could bring back his entire monster to combine them in "The Ultimate XYZ canyon", with it he destroyed "The toon card" card, defeating Pegasus. He approached to Pegasus briefcase and took two cards that he thought would assure him the victory.
