Part 4: Achieving the code
A look of complete terror was on Zoey's face "they're coming, they're coming to get me" she said frightened. "What's going on Yuge?" asked Joey with his hands on his hips. "Look we don't have time for this at the moment, we have to get Zoey and the rest of us out here now," said Kaiba. "Well what do we do?" asked Mai. "Maybe we can go through the window?" asked Yugi. They ran and looked out the window it was a four-story drop from the window to the ground. "You want to jump or should I?" said Mai sarcastically. "I think we create destruction," said Kaiba, and then everyone looked at Mai. "Fine what do you want me to do?" she spoke after a long sigh.
There were two CWS agents outside a hospital room. One had a black suit and the other had a white suit, one of the CWS agents opened the hospital room there was a lady with breathing machine she was pretty, she had brown eyes, black hair, dark skinned, there a thin dark skinned bald man sitting next to her, and a boy about six or seven year old.
The little boy ran to the suits and asked, "Are you the men in black?" The men looked at each and smiled "sure kid this is agent F and I'm agent G" spoke the one in white. "We're looking this girl," the agent reached into his black suit and pulled a picture of project Z.
The boy looked the picture "is she an Alien?" he asked. "You can say that," said the one in white. "Sorry I haven't seen her," answered the boy. "Well then carry on," said the Agent with the white suit. "Aren't you going use that flashing pen thing?" asked the boy. "No need we trust you," said the agents and they closed the door.
"Men in black… what are these kids watching these days?" asked the black suited agent. The other Agent with the white suit shruggered his shoulders, and then a blonde hair woman with purple eyes walked toward them. "Hey isn't that project M Light? "Whispered the agent in the black. "Well it was but the doc let her free," said Light "She sure has grown," said the agent licking his lips.
Light hit his partner in the stomach "shut up Dark!" he barked, Dark garbed his stomach in pain "Can we help you Mrs.?" asked Agent Light. "What his problem?" asked the blonde woman with a smile. "Oh him, he has…mm the stomach flu," Agent light lied. "Ok" said the women, "Anyways, I hear you looking a girl," spoke the woman. "Oh yes we are," said Agent Dark.
Agent Dark took out the picture of project Z and showed to her. Agent Light looked Dark's eyes, the eyes of lust; he knew that if no one else were around agent Dark would rape the women right there at that second. "I think saw her limping that way," said the woman point at another wing of the hospital. "Did you saw a guy with blue eyes brown hair, really tall with a white trench coat with KC graved into his collar? Also a short boy about 5'2" hair kind of spiky, the color of his hair is black, red and yellow wearing a navy blue jacket with black shirt underneath with jeans hanging with them?" asked agent Light. "If I don't know any better I would think you're describing Yugi Muto and Seto Kaiba," said Woman. "So they were hanging around with the girl?" asked agent Dark. "Yes, I think they were following her," said woman. "Thanks for your help," said agent Light and Dark then they ran where the woman was pointing.
Mai saw that two CWS agents and were going where she told them to go. "Idiots" said Mai with a small smirk on her face. She went back to Zoey's hospital room. "The coast is clear boys," said Mai. "Way to go Mai" said Yugi. "Come on, let's go before they came back," said Seto.
"Zoey we need go now ok?" said Yugi, Zoey looked at Yugi with a depressed look on her face; it broke Yugi's heart. Yugi thought about how Zoey had lived her life trapped, in glass case alone, with no friends, shut in from the world, no hope and then when she escaped that hope would return, but now, the CWS were after her and trashed any hope she had.
Yugi took hold of Zoey's hand "It will be fine," he said. Zoey looked at him and smiled. Yugi picked Zoey in his arms like a knight holding a fainted princess. "Come on let's go" snapped Kaiba, they all ran out of the room.
A doctor who saw this yelled "Wait you forget her crutches." Joey ran back grabbed the crutches and ran to Yugi and the others. Seto saw an abandoned wheelchair; he put Zoey in the Wheelchair and pushed her. They ran to the front desk, "give us the bill!" said Mai. This scarred the man at the front desk, so he wrote a sum on a piece of paper. Seto Kaiba pulled a check wrote a large amount of money, "Whoa, this is too much," said the Guy. "I buying this wheelchair, and rest is for the food drive," Seto said pointing at the can food drive sign in the wall. Seto, Yugi, Zoey, Mai and Joey ran out of the hospital. "Bless that man," said the man at the front desk.
Yugi and his friends ran as far as they could go. "We need… a, place to hide," said Mai out of breath. "Yeah, but where?" asked Yugi. "Wait I know the perfect place," said Seto.
Kaiba lead the way until they found the old Kaiba Corporation, it was a mess everything was falling apart, and there was a big wooden sign across the building that read, "soon to be replaced by Toys r us."
"I don't remember Kaiba Corp. being this much of a wreck," said Joey. "I had been away awhile so everyone left, because they can't ran the company," said Kaiba. Seto led them all behind the old Kaiba corp. building to a dense forest. Kaiba picked a chain that was on the ground and pulled it to reveal a secret stairway.
Seto went down the stairs, so Yugi picked Zoey from her wheelchair, and carried down the stairs, Joey and Mai follow. Mai closed the trapdoor behind her as she followed everyone else. "We are going to my secret place, I come here to think, or to be alone," said Seto leading through an underground man-made hallway.
He opened another trapdoor, Yugi stilling holding Zoey, went outside of the trapdoor, and then Seto, Joey and Mai followed him. "Wow, it's so big," said Zoey. There in front of them was a huge blue house with black shutters and a fancy staircase, and a fountain with a blue eyes dragon statue in front of it. It was sitting all alone in a hill, with trees surrounding it.
"Come on Mi casa es tu casa" said Seto going to the house. There was card lock on front of the door just like in those fancy hotels Seto take his deck, Draw the blue eyes white dragon and put in the card shot and the door opened, a robot butler went up to Kaiba and said "Welcome Mr. Kaiba, what would you like today?"
"How about five glasses of Ginger ales?" asked Kaiba. "Yes sir" said the robot, and went to another door. "It's so pretty," said Zoey astonished. Yugi put Zoey down; and Zoey limped to Joey and got her crutches.
"Thank you, Joey," she said; she walked around in the house amazed at the marbled floors, and expansive rugs all sorts of stuff, and then Zoey sat on a leather chair. Zoey thought this place was paradise, all her life she had live in a glass case with nothing but a concrete floor.
Joey crossed his arms at looking at Yugi, "Are going tell me the truth?" asked Joey. Zoey stood up, leaned against her crutches and looked at Joey "You deserve the truth" said Zoey. "My name isn't Zoey my real name is project Z."
Agents Light and Dark searched the whole hospital "We've been tricked, Light!" said Agent Dark. "Don't worry we'll go back to Dr. Whitman then it will easy to find her and kill everyone else" Said Light with an evil grin. "Yes, I can't wait!" said Dark and they exited the hospital went back to their headquarters.
A metal red eyes black dragon statue floated towards Joey. "Wow, so you have control over anything metal?" asked Joey as he garbed the metal statue. "You got it," said Zoey nodding her head. "And Mai was actually another project?" asked Kaiba. "Yes," answered Mai. "Her power is control over time" spoke Zoey. "But, I haven't practice as much as Zoey has" said Mai. "Yep, but that's only because Dr. Whitman, erased your memory of your power," said Zoey. "So Zoey who named you?" asked Mai. "I did" Seto replied with a small smirk on his face.
"Can I tell us a little about Dr. Whitman?" asked Yugi. "I thought I already told you all I know about him, he's mean and likes to torture his projects, mainly me," said Zoey sadly. Seto looked in Zoey's eyes, he was looking into a tortured soul, remembering his awful childhood, which his stepfather tortured him endless, but Seto made it out ok because Mokuba was there to support him.
Seto could not even imagine how he would even go through life without his brother. "I don't know how long, I'll be running, but they will come anyways, it's hopeless," Zoey replied sinking farther into the fancy leather couch. "It's not hopeless there must a way to get them off your back" said Yugi.
Kaiba scratched his head the robot butler came in gave each person a ginger ail and they drink it and put the glass in the coffee table. The robot butler took the glasses and went through another door.
"Hey, why don't we all eat something, rest and we'll think about it tomorrow," Kaiba suggested. "Good, cause I'm starving," said Joey. Kaiba ordered his robot butler to cook; everyone went to the expansive looking dining room. It was so fancy looking that anyone eating there felt that, like a pauper invited to eat with a prince. Kaiba's robot butlers came in serving them dinner.
Agent Light and Dark went through a forest and found a building with initials CWS curved on the building, they toke out a key and opened the lock on the door, an intercom was next to the door. "State name," said a male voice on intercom.
"Light and Dark," both agents said. A camera pointed at them and it went closer. The door opened the agents went in, they pushed a metal door and the agents went to meet Dr. Whitman in the lab.
Dr. Whitman was angry looking at an empty glass case with project Z written on it. Dr. Whitman turned around and faced agents Light and Dark. When Dr. Whitman looked at both of the agents. Light and Dark was so scared they almost wanted kiss Dr. Whitman's feet and beg for his forgiveness.
"How is hard is it to get a little girl?" said Dr Whitman enraged. Light gulped and said "Sir, she had helped," he cowered. "Who?" demanded Dr. Whitman "Their names were, Yugi Muto and Seto Kaiba but I also saw project M with them," said Dark. Dr. Whitman look of rage went into an evil grin.
"Did you say project M?" said Whitman. "Yes, we saw a guy with blonde hair with them too," said agent Light. "Fascinating," said Dr. Whitman. "I think, I'll active code 754 and then the girl will easier to find then a spotted cow in New York City," he laughed. "But what about project M?" said Dark.
"Bring her back too" said Doctor Whitman. Dr. Whitman went to a computer that has project's Z information her height weight that sort of stuff. He used the mouse and clinked on a file that said secret codes. The computer asked for a password and Dr. Whitman give it one then computer asked what code do you want to active and he typed in 754 and pressed enter, "Boys she's coming home" said Dr. Whitman.
Zoey ate the most food then anybody else, even Joey, which was a surprise. Everybody was trying to figure how this little girl could eat so much. "Wow Zoey, how can you did eat that much?" asked Kaiba astounded.
"Sorry about that but Dr. Whitman starved me for trying to run away," said Zoey. Everyone gasped "For how long?" asked Yugi. "Hmm… I lost count," said Zoey. "You poor thing" said Mai. Joey stood up angrily, "That's awful, and no human deserves that!" shouted Joey.
"I guess that Dr. Whitman doesn't view me as a human, just a project," said Zoey sadly, as she ate. "But you are human, no matter what you are my sister" said Mai. "I guess," said Zoey shrugging her shoulders.
Seto got up, went to kitchen, came back with a sundae, and gave it to Zoey. "For me?" asked Zoey as Kaiba gave her a spoon in exchange she gave Kaiba a hug Kaiba blushed a little. "Thank you," she said gratefully and went to work on the sundae right away. Joey and Mai rubbed their eyes in disbelief, "Don't worry you'll get used to it" said Yugi jokily.
After Zoey ate, the sundae Kaiba showed Yugi, Joey and Mai the guest rooms that they were going to be staying in and they went retired for the night; Kaiba went to the master bathroom.
When Yugi went to his room, he heard Zoey talking to someone; he looked to see who it was. Yugi looked as Zoey opened the window, looked at moon, and smiled "Hello friend isn't a wonderful night to be out?" she asked towards the window. Yugi went to her "Zoey who are you talking to?" he asked. "I know it's silly but I'm talking to the moon. It kept me company on many nights, giving me hope and a reason to live," said Zoey. "I see" spoke Yugi softly. "Have you ever had a dream?" asked Zoey. "Me? Yeah I've had, many of them," said Yugi.
"My dream is to touch the moon, just to see what it's like to walk on it," said Zoey. "I know what you mean," said Yugi. "I guess that won't happen as long as the CWS agents are after me," Zoey said as she sighed. "Don't worry you're safe, here," he said. "Yeah, Yugi but for how long?" Zoey said depressed looking at the ground. Yugi wanted to confront her, but he did not know how, "Try to sleep now, Zoey and we'll think about in the morning," that was all he could say. "Ok" she said.
Five minutes later Kaiba went the kitchen to get a glass of water. He went to Zoey's room; she was asleep on the ground shaking and shivering. Kaiba shook his head, looking at her, it reminded him of his childhood, and he picked Zoey up, put her on the bed, and tucked her in just as a caring parent would. She groaned softly and mumbled; "Code 754 activated," Kaiba cannot hear it, for he closed the door at that moment.
