Hey People! Here is chapter two. This update is for ChibiChan610 for being the first to review this fic!
Disclaimer: I do not own Yugioh or the characters!
This chapter is the start of Seto and Mokuba's POV. I will get back to Noa in a few chapters. Right now he isn't doing much besided hacking and reaserch, so that would be kind of boring, as opposed to the Kaiba brothers whose lives are in danger.
Ghost in the Machine
Chapter 2: First Contact and a Double Blow
Startled Kaiba Corp. employees gathered around the main control panel of sector A37. The flashing alarm lights and siren had the majority in an uproar. On the other side of the room, a door slid open to reveal a disgruntled brunet teenager. Seto Kaiba, the 16 year old CEO of Kaiba Corp. glared at his employees. "What is going on here?" He demanded. "I leave the room for thirty seconds and something happens? Why am I not surprised?" He seethed. A tall black haired male stepped forward hesitantly. "M-Mr. Kaiba, Sir…someone has hacked into the main security system!" The scientist reported. Seto Kaiba bit his lip and strode over to the controls. "Impossible! Nobody could infiltrate my system…" He said angrily…yet someone had, someone from outside of his company.
The blue eyed brunet began to assess the system breech, but when he tried to reach the other internal networks he noticed that the hacker was isolating his control. He growled, slamming his fists down on the desk. "Uhg! This can't be happening!" He said through clenched teeth. He sighed, preparing to take drastic measures. "Johnson, cut off the main energy supply and reboot the system. The black haired man faltered, not sure if he had heard right. "S-sir?" He stuttered. Seto snarled, glancing back at the screen. His anger melted into a state of shock when he read the text in the newly opened text box.
"Seto, I wouldn't do that if I were you. You have enough problems already."
He blinked. Another dialogue box opened for his response.
"Who are you and why are you doing this?" He asked.
"That's not important Seto. Your life and the life of your brother are in danger right now; I have come only to warn you." Was the response. Seto shivered. "Currently, two missiles are on their way to Domino City. One is targeting your company and the other one is aimed at Domino Junior High." Seto gasped as he was shown the countdown screen.
"Who is doing this?" He asked. There was a pause before he received a response.
"Gozaburo Kaiba." The hacker told him. Seto frowned, his eyes flicking between the timer and the message.
"That's impossible, my stepfather is dead!" Seto replied angrily. There was only 9 minutes left before the first missile was due to impact.
"You have to get out of there. You have to trust me Seto, I have nothing to gain by lying to you." The hacker insisted.
Seto bit his lip and looked back at his staff. If this was true, he had no right to endanger them…and Mokuba might be in danger too. Seto sighed. "Alright everybody, this building must be evacuated immediately!" He announced. Shocked and distraught employees stared back at him. He growled. "This is not a drill, get moving!" He told them. Seto pulled his cell phone out of his pocket and called security, ordering a full evacuation of Kaiba Corporation. The brunet grabbed the briefcase containing his laptop and followed the panicking people out of the room and into the elevator.
When he reached ground level, Seto glanced up at his company in time to see a large missile smash through the windows of floor 37. It exploded, obliterating the entire sector. His eyes widened when he saw the damage. "…Damn…I have to get Mokuba!" He shouted. Seto called for a driver and sped off towards Domino Junior high.
A scared secretary looked up at the tall CEO. "S-Sir…you can't go into the classrooms during this time!" She said, running to catch up with him. Seto gave her a cold glare. "A missile is scheduled to land somewhere in this school in less than half an hour. I'm here to get my brother before that happens." He stated. She blinked. "A missile?" He nodded. "Yes, now go have the school evacuated before anyone gets hurt." He said. She frowned. "B-but Mr. Kaiba…I don't have that kind of authority!" She told him in exasperation. He stopped and glared at her. "Then talk to whoever is in charge! The lives of the children and staff should be more important than some technicality!" He spat. She nodded dumbly and ran back towards the office. Seto continued on to his brother's classroom.
Mokuba yawned, laying his head down on his desk. He was bored. Very bored. Nothing exciting ever happened in his English class. He silently wished that something would happen…like a fire drill. He smiled sleepily to himself. 'Yeah…a fire drill would be perfect right now…' He though. The class jumped when the door was flung open. It hit the wall with a loud crack. Mokuba looked up in surprise to see his brother standing in the door way. The older boy looked distressed. Mokuba blinked, knowing something was wrong. "S-Seto! What's going on?" He asked fearfully. Seto took a deep breath. He was exhausted from all the running. "Come on Mokuba." Was his only response. The strict teacher glared at him. "Not so fast Mr. Kaiba! You need a good reason to take a student from class!" She told him. Furious, Seto reached up and turned on the Television.
"…This is just in…footage of the missile that impacted Kaiba Corp. just moments ago…" The reporter said. He turned to glare at the teacher. "Is that a good enough reason, ma'am?" He asked calmly. The elderly woman gaped at the screen. He sighed. "Another missile is targeting the school and should land shortly. I suggest you spread the news and evacuate the rest of the students." He said, leading his raven haired sibling out of the room. The teacher blinked, coming out of the shock. "Okay students! I want you to help me warn the rest of the classes! Meet outside by the flagpole as soon as possible." She said, allowing the rest of her students to file out of the room. As she had finished speaking, a message came over the intercom. "All students, staff members and visitors must evacuate the school immediately!" The Principal shouted. A slight panic started as people of all ages rushed out of the building.
Mokuba looked up at his brother with teary eyes. "Seto…is it true…is Kaiba Corp. gone?" He asked fearfully. "And is the school really in danger?" Mokuba asked. Seto took a deep breath. "Only one floor of Kaiba Corp. was destroyed, the structure will hold I believe…but the school might not be so lucky." He told his brother. Mokuba bit his lip when he saw the projectile missile in the distance. "Everybody move back!" A police officer ordered. The masses of Teachers, students, and concerned parents watched as the school was blown apart. Hardly anything was left standing. Mokuba blinked back tears. "Who would do something like this?" He asked his older brother. Seto stroked Mokuba's raven colored hair. "Someone hacked into my system before the first missile landed. I was warned to evacuate the building and that the school was also a target. The hacker said that Gozaburo was to blame." Mokuba looked up at him in surprise. "But I thought he was…" Seto nodded, obviously thinking the same thing.
