bijoukaiba: Hi!!!!! Remember how I mentioned Fire Emblem earlier on would be in this story! Well, here the YGO x FE begins! And I have decided... the 'boss' will be.... Kisara! Big thanks again 2 beriath!!! beriath also says it should probably be battou jittsu, so I'll just spell it thataway. Anyway, let's begin! And let me take care of something I had forgotten to do in previous chapters:
Disclaimer: I don't own Fire Emblem, Rurouni Kenshin, or Yu-Gi-Oh! (and it's just not fair, is it?!)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter Four: Kaiba Kills Kisara, then Meets Marth!
Kaiba looked up annoyed at Yahiko.
"Must you always do this?"
"Well, I heard from your boss you sleep like a rock!"
"WHAT?! How do you know Espa Roba?!"
Seto Kaiba ran out to the main room of the dojo, only wearing the pale white pants Kenshin lent him. And he was shocked at what he saw.
Sanosuke was tapping furiously at HIS laptop.
Kaoru pushed some buttons on HIS PDA.
Kenshin talked into HIS communicator.
"I must go now, Mokuba. Your brother is here. Sayonara!"
He clicked off the communicator.
"Konnichiwa, Seto-san! Your brother says hi. How are you on this fine morning?"
Megumi drooled at Seto's bare chest (((bijoukaiba: Can you blame her? *hearts fly around head*))), after all, he was only wearing pants.
"Kenshin! Kaoru! Sanosuke! WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH MY STUFF?!"
Kaoru spoke up.
"Well, after Kenshin and I rescued you, Sanosuke and I went back to explore the sphere that had crashed into the dojo's garden. Inside we found your communicator, PDA, and laptop. We found the instruction manuals as well, and so we kinda just figured everything out!"
Then Kenshin spoke up.
"Seto, your next task is ready. You will have to head to the IcyMoon Caverns. There, you will find the second pair of artifacts, that you will: another clue and letter. After this, you will have four artifacts, and you will need to get ten more."
"Right."
"And I might suggest you put on more clothes."
"Oh! Heh-heh, right."
Seto quickly changed into an outfit of Kenshin's; this one was green instead of blue.
"Good luck Seto! May fortune be with you! And be careful as always, that you must!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Bye!"
Seto ran off to the northwest to the IcyMoon Caverns. Halfway there, he encountered a seedy merchant.
"You know, you look like the same guy who sold me that torch."
"Oh! That's my... uh, brother, yes! Anyway, if you have some yen with you, I'll let ya purchase a fancy lantern! What do you say? As a free bonus, I'll upgrade your torch to shoot further away and fight enemies!"
"Uh... okay! Sure!"
"That'll be twenty yen."
"Okay, I can afford it! And I've got a fair amount of cash left!"
Seto handed the money to the shopkeeper, and he handed the torch, now upgraded, and the lantern, to our hero.
"Thanks! Later dude!"
"See ya later, suck-, I mean, dude!"
Seto ran onwards until he found interest in a tall tree, with pale brown flowers that had bright red edges on the petals, like a small fire. He picked a few flowers, put them into the lantern, and turned on his blowtorch to ignite them. The flowers had a bright red glow when lit, so Seto picked a few more and put them into his backpack.
After all, the cavern would probably be pretty dark, why not bring along some extra fuel for his lantern?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hey Espa?"
"What is it, Yugi?"
"Do you think Kaiba is doing well on his mission?"
"Absolutely!"
"How did you get him to go?"
"Oh, I tricked him. Serenity is just another agent here, you know. She's not a princess."
"Damn.... Kaiba was pretty stupid to fall for that, then."
"Yep. All agents are pretty stupid compared with me."
"Anyway, you were also taking care of Mokuba while Seto was out. How is he?"
"He's been doing well. He's asleep in his room."
Yugi and Espa went to check.
"Huh? Agent MK is gone!"
"Maybe he just went to the bathroom, Yugi. That's probably it."
Suddenly, Mai wheeled into the room.
"General Espa! One of our time pods is missing! I didn't see who was in it, though, but the destination was... ancient Japan...."
Yugi and Espa looked at each other.
"Mokuba! Uh-oh......"
"And you said all agents are pretty stupid compared with you."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At last, Seto found the cavern he was looking for. Looking around, he saw three red emblems. He shot a flare from the blowtorch at each of these, and a red gem fell to the ground. Unaware of what it was for, Seto simply picked it up, put it into his backpack, and walked deeper into the cave.
Ten minutes later, Seto ran into two soldiers. He defeated them easily with his upgraded blowtorch, then picked up another mysterious gem they had dropped; this one was blue. He put it into his backpack, and kept walking.
Finally, he saw a small vent on the ground. He shot his blowtorch at it, and a white gem came out. He picked it up, and put it into his backpack.
After walking for an even longer while (Seto was obviously getting tired and bored with all this walking), he came across a large door, with three spots in it, shaped and colored like the gems he had recovered.
Placing each gem where it should go, the door automatically opened.
Seto walked in, taking extreme caution.
The room was wide, spacious, and had a small amount of light in it. The walls were stained gray from the rock colors. Crystal puddles of water had been formed from the dripping moisture from the stalactites.
Across the room, there was also a jail cell. Seto ran over to it, curious to see if anyone was inside. And there was.
A teenager. He appeared to be about the same age as Sanosuke, which was 18. He wore handsome fabrics of pale and dark blue. He had a beautifully handled sword in the sheath on his belt. The prisoner had dark bluish-black hair, and he wore a golden headpiece in it.
Seto tapped his shoulder.
"You okay?"
The teenager stirred, and faced Seto with his sparkling green eyes.
"P-Please," he said, "get me the key from the table across the room. I need to be freed."
Seto eyed him curiously.
"How do I know I can trust you?"
"I won't do anything bad, I promise. I'm very tired after being captured, I just want to rest."
"Do you give your oath as a swordsman?" I can't believe I just said that! Ha, Kenshin's starting to rub off on me.
"I do."
"Very well, I guess I can trust you."
Seto walked across the room to where the keys were, when suddenly he heard the door open and slam shut.
"Well now, it appears I have witnessed an attempted rescue! Heh-heh-heh..."
"Who are you?" Seto cried.
"I am Kisara, champion wrestler and swordsman. And you are in no position to free anyone!"
"We'll see. I challenge you to battle!"
"You have sealed your fate, but so be it!"
Kisara drew out two long swords.
Seto drew out his single sword. He hoped he could do this. After all, it was two weapons to one, and Kisara was about twelve feet tall, twice as big as he was.
Seto swiped his sword quickly at Kisara, but he blocked it with the sword in his right and used the blunt edge of the left to trip Seto.
With two swords, Kisara would more than likely to block off his attacks! Seto had a greater disadvantage than he realized!
Caught off guard, Kisara managed to kick Seto in the side, sending him sprawling on the floor.
How pathetic! Seto thought as he rolled away from the sword point buried neatly in the floor that had tried to pierce through his head.
As Kisara struggled to free his blade, Seto realized the was a vital opportunity to attack!
He charged forward, blade ready, when suddenly Kisara drew his blade at the last second and blocked.
"Gah!"
"Haha, sucks for you!"
There was no way to beat Kisara single handedly.... or was there? Seto remembered the new and improved blowtorch he received.
He took it out of his backpack with his left hand and fired at Kisara. The fire blast struck Kisara square across the face!
"Yes!" cheered Seto and the prisoner.
But it got even better. For Kisara dropped both his weapons. Seto picked them up quickly, threw them across the room, and swiped out and struck Kisara many times.
Kisara struggled to stand up, and when he did, Seto tossed the keys to the prisoner. Then Seto began a two-armed assault: Fire from his left hand, sword swipes from his right. Kisara only reached halfway across the room when he fell to his knees.
"Haha! Who does it suck for now?" Seto asked with a taunt, stopping his attacks and sheathing his sword and blowtorch.
Kisara weakly stood up for a moment, grabbed Seto by the front of his green kimono, and slammed him into the wall. Kisara collapsed and vanished into a puff of smoke, like Oracle. In his place was orange stone, carved in the shape of an 'O', and a statue of an archer.
Seto had also fallen, but he was unconscious, and the front of his kimono was somewhat shredded.
The prisoner freed himself then knelt by Seto, cradling the unconscious hero.
"Wake up! Are you alright?"
"Ow......." Seto moaned, and stirred, opening his eyes to see the prisoner.
"Hey! You! You're free!"
"Yeah, and I owe you one for saving my life, my friend."
"Oh! No problem. What's your name?"
"My name is Marth."
"Cool name, Marth! My name is Seto. Seto Kaiba. I prefer Kaiba though."
"Okay, Kaiba."
Marth reached out his right hand to shake hands. Being polite, Seto also put out his right hand to shake, but a great pain swept through his wrist like a gunshot.
"Oh, my wrist...." Seto moaned.
Marth held Seto's wrist in his hand and gently moved his fingers along the sides.
"I should say! Your wrist is broken! Probably from when Kisara slammed you into the wall."
"Oh man...."
"Where are you staying? I was kidnapped through time, and so I need a place to stay."
"You could come with me to the Kamiya Dojo, Marth."
"Okay! But first, we ought to bandage your wrist."
Marth tore off a fraction of his cape and removed some bandages from a sack he had. He wrapped them around Seto's injured wrist, then tied the cape around Seto's neck to act like a sling. Marth helped Seto stand up.
"Now lead the way, I think it's best we get back to the Kamiya Dojo."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When they finally arrived, the first thing everyone wanted to know who the new arriver was. Seto introduced Marth to everyone. They all accepted him, especially Kenshin, always eager for a new friend, and Megumi, for obvious reasons(^_~).
"Kaiba, what happened to your wrist?"
"I broke it, Kaoru."
"Ouch!"
"That's not good. It takes two hands to use battou jittsu, so you won't be able to fight."
"Kenshin's right. I can't fight now, and I'm running out of time to rescue Serenity! There just has to be a way to fight! I need to get her safely back before those Africans start dying!"
"Kaiba, I may have a solution. I am a skilled swordsman like Kenshin. I could teach you my Dancing Blade, Dolphin Slash, and Counter techniques. Those only need one hand."
"Great! But first I need to show the artifacts to Kenshin. Kenshin, I got another letter, and a sculpture of an archer. It looks like Sagittarius."
"Indeed it does. Your enemy must deal with astrology or mythology then, that they must. Perhaps they share the name of a mythological figure?"
"Perhaps so. Marth, I look forward to training with you."
The training went well for Seto, and he was once again able to spend the night away with his comrades at the Kamiya Dojo.
Seto slept peacefully in the room he shared with Kenshin and Marth, until Yahiko came in again, as he did before.
"KAIBA! KENSHIN AND MARTH WANNA SEE YA!"
