Honda screamed as he fell down and down and down. It seemed like he had been falling for hours and his voice was getting raw from screaming.
He closed his eyes tightly as wind whistled past his ears. He knew that the end of his fall was coming fast and he didn't exactly want to see it.
A sinking feeling entered his stomach right before he landed on something hard yet soft at the same time. Cracking open one eye he was met with a emerald green orb.
"What are you doing?" A cool voice asked from underneath him. Honda lifted himself up to find Otogi lying flat on the ground under him.
"What the fuck? What are you doing here Otogi," He looked around at the hallway around them. "And where is here…?"
"I'm still trying to figure that out myself. Now could you get off of me?" Otogi asked raising an eyebrow.
"Oh yeah right." Otogi scoffed. The uni-spiked teen didn't even have the grace to blush as he slowly shifted off the ebony haired teen.
"We need to get out of here Otogi." Honda lifted himself off the ground and graciously stuck out a hand for Otogi.
"Yeah, oh hey, where were you guys all this time?" Otogi took the offered hand and with Honda's help pulled himself up.
"Oh yeah about that…" He motioned for Otogi to follow him as he began to walk down the seemingly never ending hallway.
"Well it all started when we; Yugi, Tea, Shizuka, Joey and Me that is, fell down into this virtual world thing." Honda told Otogi all about Kaiba and Mokuba and then Kou's explanation on the tournament and its rules.
"So you're all playing a game with a child?" Otogi couldn't help but laugh. To him it was hilarious; his friends were being played with like dolls by a maniacal child.
"Not just us." Honda smirked over at him.
"What do you mean?" The look on Otogi's face was priceless and the brunette could help but have the urge to punch his face in.
"I mean that you're going to be a duelist in this tournament too."
Seto shot up, he was practically drenched in sweat and the smell of it was overpowering. It had soaked his skin and assaulted his senses. Looking down he also noticed that sweat wasn't the only bodily liquid that had escaped him. His dream had caused a problem that had decided to rectify itself so now he had a huge white stain covering the front of his clothes.
'Great just what I need, for all I know Noah could be watching me at this very moment…' That thought gave him the incentive to drag himself over to the pond he had conveniently landed by. Stripping off his clothes, he climbed in. The water was icy to the touch and had Seto giving a small noise of surprise. The young CEO looked over at his stained pants. 'What am I supposed to do about them?' The only idea he could come up with was to wash them in the water and hope for the best.
"Lot of help being a genius does now." Seto grumbled as he wrung his pants out.
"I always knew you were a crazy bastard Seto."
Seto spun around, the water making a tidal wave around him. On the side of the water was a rather tall man in a trench coat; the coat didn't fool Seto though. He had recognized that voice, it was Lector.
"So Lector, now you're a pervert along with a pathetic duelist?" Seto said coolly, a smirk flickering across his face.
"You wish that I would grace you with my favor." Seto could all but hear the smugness coming from Lectors voice. As he remembered what the old man had looked like he felt the urge to gag. As if he would ever sink so low as to think of a perverted old man that way. But did that make it okay to think of his brother that way…?
"Seto, I challenge you to a duel!" Lector removed the trench coat with a flourish. Underneath was the gruesome form of Ginzo.
"I always knew you would be a hideous Duel Monster, Lector." Seto, totally unaffected by his own lack of clothing, climbed out of the pool and grabbed his duel disk. It wasn't like his pants would rely help anyways, they were soaked and covered in who-knows what.
Lector laughed. "Aren't you going to dress Seto?"
"Why would I? Not like it would help."
"Now I will show you that I am not nearly as rude as you think." The man snapped his fingers in a similar way as Noah had before and clothes suddenly covered the others lithe form. "Now isn't that better?"
Seto had to admit, it was good to feel the familiar leather fabric against his skin. But of course he would never thank his enemy-except Yugi-so he gave a disapproving snort. "You shouldn't help your enemy Lector, it will come back to haunt you."
"As you say, master Seto." His voice dripped sarcasm.
"So did you want to duel or not?" Seto's smug smirk was back, there was no way Lector could beat him at his own game.
"Why yes I do, why don't you pick your monster then?"
Seto took his deck out of its slot and began shuffling through it. Of course he already knew that he would use one of his Blue Eyes, but then again he could use Obelisk…
"Oh and by the way Seto, there are no God cards allowed in these duels."
Scratch that last thought Blue eyes it is then! He found one of them and began pulling it out when Lector once more interrupted him.
"Seto, did you know that Master Noah has your brother hostage?"
Seto shot a glare towards the green monster. "Of course I know."
"Then you also know that with just the snap of my fingers I could have that little brat writhing in agony."
Seto's blood froze, the thought of his brother in pain sending dread through his system. "You wouldn't…"
"Of course I would Seto! I would do anything to win."
The hand holding the Blue Eyes White Dragon dropped down, mixing the card back into the deck. Randomly, he chose a different card lifting it and putting it on the duel disk. Out came Luster Dragon in a swirl of black mist, the dragon gave a mighty roar before settling down into a position in front of Seto.
'It seems as if my threat didn't work as well as I had hoped it would…' Lector thought as he watched Seto's monster give another roar. It was evenly matched with Jinzo that meant that he would have to do a little bit of strategizing.
"It seems as though we're evenly match Seto. Shall we begin?"
"Yes of course."
"Then for my first move I will attack you with Jinzo!" His eyes began glowing red as beams shot out, streaming towards Luster Dragon.
Seto could do nothing but watch as his monster got critical damage. He heard Lector laughing and cursed the man for going so low as to blackmail him.
"So how does it feel to know that you're going to lose?"
Seto couldn't bring himself to snap back as his monster was struck yet again by the red laser. He knew that defeat was inevitable; at least that was what he thought.
As Jinzo was setting up for the final strike a screen popped up between the two of them, on it was a full scale picture of Mokuba and Noah. This wasn't what shocked Seto though; it was the fact that Noah had his tongue stuck down Mokuba's throat. His brother squirmed a bit before letting out a defeated moan.
The screen popped away quickly, but not before the image had been burned into Seto's retinas. 'What just happened…?' Rage swelled up in his chest as he tried to rid himself of that disgusting image. He needed to vent all this frustration somewhere, anywhere.
Lector laughed rudely at Seto's shocked face. "How does it feel to know that your brother's a slut?"
Looking up at Lector's mask covered face, Seto felt something snap. A nerve that had been on the fringe of short-circuiting broke. He had found his victim; he intended to make Lector feel all his pain times 10.
"Get ready Lector, I'm going to kill you!" Despite his words he had to think of a plan first. Of course he had heard the hidden meaning in Kou's words and therefore knew that he could use trap and magic cards. But which ones to chose?
"Brave words, considering they're coming from someone who's inches away from death."
Seto, his plan now formed, just smirk. "Of course even the best duelists need to know how to bluff."
"Heh, keep trying to convince yourself you'll will Seto. It doesn't matter though, you will never beat me!"
"Of course not, I wouldn't even dream of it," Seto said sarcastically.
"Hmph! It's time to strike the finishing blow." Lector screamed, springing towards the young CEO.
"Oh screw this!" Seto pulled back Luster dragon and dodged to the side.
"What are you doing! You can't fight without your monster!" Lector attempted to blow Seto away again.
"Who says I need a monster?" Seto dodged the quick blow.
"What are you talking about!" Lector growled, striking towards Seto again.
"I'm talking about this!" Seto pushed against one of the trees surrounding the lake and a keyboard popped out of the bark.
"What the?" Lector stopped abruptly. Seto was typing at such a rapid speed that he couldn't help but marvel.
"You lose Lector. You may look like a monster, but on the inside you are still very much human. And therefore," Seto spun rapidly. In his hand was a Magnum pistol, safety off and, Lector assumed full of bullets. "Weak!" A single shot rang through the peaceful scenery, followed by the solid thud of a body hitting the ground.
"Hey did you hear that?" Shizuka looked up from her shoes.
"Hear what?"
"Sounded like a gun shot…"
"I didn't hear anything."
"Must have been my imagination… By the way Tea, where are we going?"
"Anywhere but here, these weapons are creepy." Tea grabbed Shizuka's hand and began guiding her out of the factory.
"I hope we find the others soon…"
"I'm sure we will, we just need some time." Tea sighed. Time was the only thing they didn't have; she knew that Noah would someone else after them soon. They were, after all, the weakest link in the group. Well, other than Mokuba…
"Yeah…" Shizuka said biting her lip.
"Don't worry! Let's go!" She began to run, dragging Shizuka behind her.
"What is wrong with these freaks, leaving me out in the c-cold?" Joey was hugging himself for warmth as he huddled against the storm. Ever since his duel with Johnson he had had no contact with any other human life. "Stupid ass losers…" He mumbled squeezing his arms tighter. "I'll get them back, I swear it!" He stumbled to his feet and was pushed backwards by a heavy wind. His feet flew out from under him and he was flying into the sky, screaming all the way. He blew into the sky and became a distant star on the horizon. Well at least he got out of the cold right?
Yami! Are you okay? I really need your help!
Yugi was trying again to contact his Yami but all he got in response was a sort of buzz. 'What could be wrong with him?'
He sighed to himself and hugged his knees. His cheek still stung from it's earlier abuse and his butt was sore from falling over so much.
"Yami, I want to talk to you… Please answer me!" His pleas were only met by silence as he let out a whimper.
He leaned forward and looked at his reflection in the water; staring back at him was his own reflection. But not, it's hair was spikier and it's skin was tanner.
"Yami!" He reached out to touch the reflection but a voice in his mind made him stop.
Don't Abiou! If you touch me I'll disappear!
I'm sorry Yami…What happened to you? Why wouldn't you answer me?
I couldn't Yugi; something was blocking me from your mind
What could it be? And why do you look so different?
Yami's tan wasn't the only thing that had changed, his clothes were different too. The school uniform had changed to the Egyptian robes befitting a pharaoh.
That is yet another question that I can not answer Abiou, but I am working hard to solve this mystery. I do not think that this is because of Noah but I do know that something strange is going on…
I will try to help you in any way I can Yami! If you need any help please ask me!
Thank you Abiou, I will make sure to ask you
Yugi nodded his head. Okay Yami, I'll wait for your call!
Abiou, lean down towards the water
Yugi did as he was told and leaned as close to the water as he could. He felt an icy presence on his cheek and quickly pulled back.
Nani?
Just a little kiss Abiou, I will see you soon
The reflection wavered as if a stone had been thrown into the water and when the water finally settled Yugi only saw himself staring back.
"He can't do that!" Noah screamed. He was currently fanning off Mokuba in a vain attempt to wake the poor boy up. "He shot Lector! THAT IS SO CHEATING!" He was wondering if the same rules applied to Seto as they did to the Big Five… And it wasn't like he could go and meet Seto in person anyways, not with Mokuba attached at the wrist.
"What's wrong boss!" Kou shot out of a door, his hood flying backwards as he skidded across the floor.
Yet another shock met Noah as he turned around to see, Mokuba?
"Kou…?"
"Yeah, what?" Kou ran a hand through his through, droplets of sweat sprinkling out. Wait, his hair… That meant his hood was down and Noah could…
"Oh Shit!" Kou grabbed his head and began running in circles, "What am I gonna do? Ra-chan's gonna kill me!"
"Will you calm down!" Noah yelled. He grabbed Kou as he ran past. "Now calm down and tell me what's going on."
"This is just the way I look. Now what's goin' on with Seto-kun?"
"He shot Lector, can you believe that?"
"No way…Does that mean Seto won?"
"I don't know, does it?" Noah rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
"I hope not, cause I promised Seto I'd give him Mokuba if he won!" Kou laughed overenthusiastically.
"Oh God you loser," Noah lunged towards the poor teen, dragging Mokuba behind him. " Why did you promise him something like that!" He grabbed the front of Kou's robe and began shaking him. "What- shake-where-shake-you-shake-thinking!" Every time Noah shook Kou Mokuba's head pounded against the floor so Noah's words were filled with the background music of slams.
"N-n-noah sir, I c-can't breathe!" Noah finally let him go and the poor kid fell to his knees and began to retch. "I'm gonna barf…"
Noah was about to begin yelling at Kou once more but was interrupted by a disembodied voice, "I won you bastards, now give me back my brother!"
"Oh shit that's Seto, what am I going to do?" Noah looked around frantically until his eyes fell on Kou. An evil smile spread over his lips and the ends practically curled, he had a horribly brilliant idea and he could go on and on about how horrible it was but that would take up to much space so just know that it was horribly horrible.
"I have an idea." Devil horns sprouted on Noah's head as he rubbed his hands together. "A brilliant idea… Kou come here."
Kou could feel a threatening aura as Noah descended on him. 'I have a bad feeling about this…'
Seto spun around as a light glistened behind him. "Mokuba!" He ran towards the young boy and was met by a cheerful 'Ni-sama' in return. He caught his brother in a tight embrace, burrowing his face in his brothers midnight locks. "I missed you Mokuba."
"I missed you too, Ni-sama." Was it just him or did Mokuba's voice sound a little different.
Seto sat down and pulled away. Lightly he cupped his little brother's face, "Mokuba, what's wrong?"
"I'm just really glad to see you Ni-sama." Mokuba sniffed and crawled into Seto's lap, curling like a kitten. "So happy."
Seto blushed. "Yeah me too," He stroked Mokuba's hair gently. "Mokuba… about that kiss…"
Mokuba looked up. "What kiss Ni-sama?"
'I knew it was just another one of Noah's tricks!' He gathered Mokuba back into another hug. "Nevermind, come on Mokuba, we need to get going." He pried his brother off of his lap and stood up. "We need to get that bastard Noah back for all he's done to you!"
"Yes Ni-sama!" Mokuba hopped off the ground, brushing off his pants.
"What happened to your shoulder?" Seto brushed his fingers against the bandage on Mokuba's shoulder.
"Oh, nothing, it doesn't even hurt anymore!" He pushed Seto's hand off and smiled. "No need to worry Ni-sama."
"He didn't do anything to you did he?"
"Nope, nothing."
"Good." Seto let out a relieved sigh. "Now Mokuba this is important, who were those to cloaked people?"
"You mean Kou and Ra-kun?" Mokuba tilted his head to the side.
"Yes them, what can you tell me about them?"
"I don't know anything more than you do I'm guessing."
"Just tell me what you do know. This is important!" He grabbed Mokuba's shoulders.
"I only know their names!" The young boy yelped.
"I'm sorry Mokuba; I'm just a little on edge…" He let his brother go and ran a hand through his hair. He was losing himself in his thoughts until he heard Mokuba scream.
"What is that thing!" Mokuba had fallen backwards and was pointing his finger at a mutant green moss thing growing out of the ground. The mutant thing was growing exactly were Lector had fallen before.
"Don't look at it Mokuba, it's just a wash-up loser." He began walking through the thick shroud of trees. He turned back as Mokuba neglected to follow him. "Come on Mokuba."
"I'll be right there Ni-sama!" He heard Seto make a undistinguishable noise as he turned back around. A sudden wind picked up and swept the young boy's hair around his face. It grew so loud that Seto didn't here him mumble, "I'm sorry, Seto-kun…" One red and one blue eye glowed brightly from behind grey contacts.
TBC…
Haruka: Runs around screaming I can't believe it took me that long! I said it would be done in December and it's January! I am such a loser! Whaaaaa!
