Batman Begins: Enter Seto Kaiba
Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh or Batman!
Monastary Balcony: Present
"Do you still feel responsible for your parents' death, Seto?"
"My anger outweighs my guilt."
"Come." Both men leave the balcony.
Monastary: Inside the dojo
"You have learned to bury your guilt with anger. I will teach you to confront it and to face the truth."
-Ontop of frozen lake---training
"You know how to fight 6 men, we can teach you to engage 600. You know how to disappear, we can teach you become truly invisible." They both start clasing their swords against each other.
Back to Monastary
"Invisible?"
"Avi!"
Two nearby ninjas from above fall down gently from the ceiling.
"A ninja understands that a matter of invisibility takes patience and agility."
Meanwhile, Seto is undergoing difficult training ontop of wooden poles above a pool. He's getting hit by 2 trainers, who are using wooden rods to brush against their trainee. He falls, unable to balance and avoid the attacks. As he moves his head up, he sees Pegasus's face, in pity.
Later
Both men on the frozen lake move around each other, waiting for the first strike. Pegasus stares at Seto, cautiously, then suddenly he raises his sword and vertically strikes against Seto's training sword. Pegasus is too strong for his apprentice to handle, and so he falls down on the ice.
"Always mind your surroundings."
He gets back up and starts his attack, Pegasus parries away.
Later: Inside
"Ninjitsu employs explosive powders."
"As weapons?"
"Or distractions. Theatricality and deception are powerful agents. You must become more than just a man in the mind of your opponent."
Kaiba tosses the powder at the floor. BANG!
Later
A bhutanese man is held prisoner in a cage inside the monastary.
"Who is he?"
"He was a farmer. Then he tried to take his neighbor's land and became a murderer. Now he is prisoner."
"What will happen to him?"
"Justice. Crime cannot be tolerated. Criminals thrive on the indulgence of society's understanding."
-Back to the frozen lake
Seto manages to throw off Pegasus's sword out of his hands
"Your parents' death was not your fault."
Angered, Seto lunges his sword against Pegaus. "ARGGHH!"
Pegasus blocks with his gaunlet. It was your father's! He pushes back Seto abit and he lands on the lake's surface.
He gets up and fights back, but Pegasus counters again.
"Anger does not change the fact that your father failed to act."
"The man had a gun!"
"Would that stop you?"
"I've had training--"
"The training is nothing. The will is everything." His lunges his sword against Kaiba. "The will to act-- UNF!" Gets tripped by Seto and falls.
"Yield."
"You haven't beaten me. You've sacrificed sure footing for a killing stroke." Taps onto the icy surface, thus causing Seto to fall into the icy cold water.
-Frozen lake: Evening
Pegasus starts a fire to warm themselves. "Rub your chest, your arms will take care of themselves. Your stronger than your father."
"You didn't know my father."
"But I know the rage that drives you, that impossible anger strangling the grief until the memory of your loved ones is just poison in your veins. And one day you wish that the person you loved never existed so you'd be spared that pain. I wasn't always in the mountains. Once I had a love, Cecelia. She was struck by a devastating disease. So I had traveled the world and went to Egypt. A mysterious man showed me these ancient carvings that depicted monsters. Naturally, I became interested and created a card game called Duel Monsters. When I came back to America, I realized that my company was involved in my former love's death. Soon after that, I slaughtered them all. Later, I left and came here, to The League of Shadows."
"Wait...you created the 4 legendary Blue-Eyes cards? I still have 3 of the 4!"
"Well, yes that's true, but that's not the point of this lecture. Your anger gave you great power. But if you let it, it will destroy you as it almost did me."
"What stopped your anger?"
"Vengeance."
"That's no help to me."
"Why, Seto? Why did you not avenge your parents?"
