My Comments: I hope you like this story by me, and it contains five elements of 'famous TV\movie doo-hickey-thing-a-ma-jiggers'! It's cross between Rurouni Kenshin, Fire Emblem, and Yu-Gi-Oh (that's three, for those of you who can't count), but the story plays out in a cross between Star Fox and Balto (heh-heh... I recently saw the video and I loved it, so I thought it'd be pretty neat to add it to Yu-Gi-Oh, Rurouni Kenshin, and Fire Emblem^^). I think this one should be one of my best fics yet!

Espa Roba was the newly hired general of a world-protection agency known as the IDA. IDA stood for International Duelist Agency. If there was ever a crisis on some planet or in time or in some distant country, Espa would send off a duelist, two duelists, or minor organizations to help those in need.

Since the team of 'Star Raptor' (Amy: What'd I tell ya? Star Fox IS involved! The name's pretty cool, ya know?) was patrolling the galaxy in their space cruiser and the Rip Tides were exploring legendary ruins under the sea, there weren't many IDA agents left.

Yugi and Mai were still resting after their most recent mission, and Mokuba and Rebecca were too young to go on many of the missions.

There was one agent still out working, and in fact, she was due to be returning within a few days. She used a time travel pod to go back in time to old Japan when a great medicine was known, but only by a few people. Her goal? Find a medicine man (or woman) and bring the medicine back to the present. Then go and deliver the medicine to a tribe in Africa with children that had come down with a mysterious disease, and the only cure was THAT medicine.

General Espa suddenly received a transmission from the female agent.

"General Espa."

"Yes, Serenity?"

"I've got the medicine. I did not need to fight to get some. A nice doctor named Megumi Takani was more than happy to donate some to me. She's VERY nice."

"Well, I'm glad there was no need to fight. Nothing personal, but you aren't necessarily the strongest fighter."

"I know that, sir. I should be back by this evening."

"Very good."

"Serenity out."

Serenity would only need about an hour's walk to return to her time travel pod. As she walked off to her pod, she heard an evil laugh, and Megumi, a witness to all of this occurring, cried, "Serenity! Miss Serenity! Look out!" Serenity turned around and screamed, but she blacked out and collapsed to the ground.

*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~*

The next day...

Espa Roba paced around the meeting room, a hand on his temple. "I need an aspirin..." he said.

Yugi and Mai walked into the room (or, more like, Yugi walked in and Mai wheeled in, as the mission they had taken two weeks ago had fractured Mai's leg) and noticed the respected general of the IDA pacing around the room.

Yugi, the shy and quiet type, wanted to say something, but didn't speak.

However, Mai, the arrogant, I-wanna-know-what's-happening-now!-type, opened her big mouth and said, "Spill it, boss. Something's wrong." Espa looked up and said, "Oh Mai, Yugi, it was so horrible! Serenity has been captured!" Yugi and Mai gasped. Without Serenity and the medicine, the African children would die!

Espa said, "We need someone to go on this mission! It is too important! But yet both of you are too weak, and the Rip Tides and Star Raptor are off on other missions."

Mokuba had been passing by the office, and couldn't help but overhear. "Ya need someone to go on a mission to rescue Serenity? I'll do it!" he exclaimed in a squeaky voice.

Espa turned angrily to the young boy. "You'll do no such thing! You're too young!"

Mokuba scowled and stuck up his nose as he walked by the door.

Yugi finally spoke up. "Well.... there is one more person we could try..."

Espa felt his brain smash against his skull as he turned his head swiftly to face Yugi. "No.... you can't be thinking.... anyone but him, Yugi... you can't be thinking..."

"Of course I am."

The general held his breath, then sighed. "Okay, look," he said, "we'll let him ATTEMPT the mission. If he fails, you're also taking some of the fall!"

Yugi frowned. "He is NOT gonna fail."

"For the sake of Serenity Wheeler and the African children, you'd better be right!"

Yugi smiled. "I know I am."

Dragon Emblem

Espa chatted with the recruit who Yugi suggested.

"We use a type of currency here known as Duel Points. You complete this mission, we get you enough points for a spaceship, sub, land base, and enough Points to suit them up!"

"I see."

"So then... what do you think? Will you save the girl-err, I mean, princess for the duel points?"

"That princess....is as good as saved. I'll do it."

"Whew! Thank you very much! I knew we could count on you! Thank you.... Seto Kaiba."

"Yeah. Now, as for where I'm going..."

"Oh, right! Mai, will you show Mr. Kaiba to his time pod?"

"I most certainly will, General Espa."

"Huh? How'd you get into a wheelchair, Mai?"

"It doesn't matter, Kaiba! Very good, Mai!"

"I am glad you are pleased. Come on, Kaiba,"

"I'm coming."

Mai lead Seto Kaiba into a room where a control podium stood, Yugi sitting at the chair by the podium. "Thanks for taking the mission, Seto!" Yugi complimented.

"That's Kaiba." he replied.

Five switches were on the podium next to Yugi's seat, the same number of pods in the room. They looked similar to his virtual pods, only a bit more circular shaped than oblong. He sat down in the blue one. Yugi pulled the switch, and Kaiba disappeared... along with his pod.

The view around Kaiba was that of stars soaring past. His radio transmitter suddenly spoke up.

"SK, do you read? This agent YM. Do you copy?"

"YM? SK? What the HELL do you mean??"

"Your agent name is SK. Mine is YM. Our real names are Yugi Moto and Seto Kaiba. Do you copy?"

"Uh...yeah."

"Now listen to me. This is set on autopilot for your destination of ancient Japan. It's gonna transport you there, okay?"

"Whatever. Now, what's the main idea of my mission?"

"I was just getting to that, SK!"

"DON'T call me that!"

"Yeah. Uh-huh. Anyway, you've gotta find agent SW."

"Who?"

"Serenity. Joey's sister."

"Oh... her..."

"Huh? Anyway, you've gotta find her and GET THAT MEDICINE BACK! Without it, many ill African children may die!"

"All right. Find a girl. No problem."

"Of course, you may need to fight... she was after all kidnapped..."

"Then I'll also find a weapon!"

"All right then... after you find her, then you gotta escort her to Africa and make sure the children get the medicine. Then you'll get your Duel Points. Good luck! You've gotta do it for the children!"

"I will... but I'm in this for the money... I mean, Duel Points.... NOT the children!"

"Whatever. You'll reach your destination in about two hours. Yugi out."

Two hours later...

Seto Kaiba woke up suddenly from his nap. A loud siren had awoken him. He looked at the status screen.

AUTO PILOT FAILURE

"WHAT?!" Kaiba exclaimed. He tapped at the screen.

"But I don't know how to drive this thing!"

He slammed his fists down hard on the screen. Kaiba yelled as he saw the outdoor display screen and saw everything flying past him, the ground growing nearer.

"AHHHHHHH!!!!! Whoa! Neat, a dojo! AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

Sanosuke watched a blue sphere come flying down through the sky and heard it crash.

"Oh man!" he cried.

"It hit the Kamiya Dojo! I hope Kenshin and the others are okay!"

Yahiko put down his sword.

"Kaoru, did you hear that?"

Kaoru looked at her apprentice.

"I did! It sounded like it came from out there..."

"Where Kenshin is!"

"I hope he's okay!"

Yahiko and Kaoru ran out to where Kenshin was. He was staring at a giant blue orb. Kaoru ignored the giant sphere and ran over and hugged the one she secretly loved.

"Kenshin! You're okay!"

"Oro? Miss Kaoru, Yahiko, what do you think this giant sphere is?"

Sanosuke came running up to them.

"Kenshin, Kaoru, are you guys- whoa! What the hell is that?"

"Sano!"

"Yo Kenshin."

Yahiko caught their attention. "Hey look!" he cried. "It's opening!"

The unconscious Seto Kaiba had hit the "Open Door" button after collapsing. He tumbled out onto the ground. Kenshin ran over to him.

"It's a boy, older than Yahiko and younger than Sano... he's probably fifteen or sixteen. He appears injured."

Kaoru, feeling sorry for him, said, "Kenshin, bring him inside the dojo. We can get Megumi to help nurse him back to health."

Kenshin picked up Seto Kaiba from the ground and carried him in.

When Megumi saw the CEO, her heart was warmed, and she greatly accepted him as her patient. She tucked him up snugly in a warm floor mat, and bandaged his scratched arm.

Kenshin, Kaoru, Yahiko, and Sanosuke sat down on the floor, waiting for Megumi's patient (and most likely their new friend) to awaken. They started to chat, but Yahiko and Kaoru ended up arguing as usual.

They stopped, noticing that something had caught the attention of Kenshin and Sanosuke.

"Hey Kenshin," Yahiko said, "what's up?"

"Look!" replied the legendary swordsman.

Yahiko and Kaoru turned and noticed what had caught Kenshin's attention.

Megumi's patient had sat up, rubbing his arm. He was shocked to feel the bandage, and the cotton against his skin. He was used to leather.

Kaiba suddenly turned to see the five faces (Megumi sitting beside him) looking at him.

"Gah!" Kaiba cried, "Who are you?"
