Chapter 16: Dr. Anthony's Demise Part III (actually Bob's demise…)
Kaiba sat with the Care Bear family and the Maid in his huge underground computer room.
"Are you sure you'll be able to locate Mokey?" Tenderheart asked.
Kaiba didn't even glance at Tenderheart as he punched his keyboard with lightning speed. He just said, "I'm Seto Kaiba. I can do anything." No one argued with him. And after just about a minute, Kaiba declared, "he's at the warehouse near the dock." No one had to say anything; it was a race to the limo.
Normally Kaiba would have been driven around by his chauffeurs, but there was no time to call any of them to drive him anywhere. And besides, Kaiba didn't trust any of them to get the job done right—only Kaiba himself could do that. And normally, a limo wouldn't have been the car of choice to drive down fast, yet inconspicuously, to the warehouse but hey, sometimes you gotta make due with what you got.
Kaiba flung the limo door open and jumped in. The maid sat next to him and all the Care Bears and care bear cousins piled into the back. Kaiba's limo was probably the only car on the face of the earth that could hold every one of them comfortably. And so, Kaiba slammed his foot on the ignition and they were off. To the docks!
Meanwhile, at the Docks….
"Let me go!" Mokuba tried to scream but Bob had his hand over Mokuba's mouth. But not for long; soon a cloth replaced it and Mokuba struggled even more to talk. But everything he said just cam out as 'mmmmm!' and Bob tied him up to a chair.
"So what now?" Bob asked.
"We ransom the kid," Bob's partner in crime said as he lit his cigar. "We could get millions off of him. But for now, we outta lay low. Don't want his punk brother finding us." Bob nodded.
Mokuba thought to himself, "yea right! I'll bet my bro's already tracked you two clowns down and he's probly on his way here now! That is…if he's discovered that I sneaked out…and I hope the care bears are all doing alright…" Mokuba felt his pocket where he had placed the cassette tape. If they only rescued him, they could put the fake Dr. Anthony and his partner in crime away for good! "Hurry…" Mokuba mumbled.
Meanwhile, in the Limo…
…Kaiba was driving like a maniac.
"We're almost there right?" the maid asked, clinging to the back of her leather seat for support.
"Hmph, looks like we're here right now," Kaiba said, squealing on the breaks. The Care Bears went flying everywhere in the limo, and Baby Hugs and Tugs were the only ones happy about it. The Maid was more than a little shaken up but of course Kaiba was as calm as if he had been doing nothing more than typing on his laptop.
"But this isn't the docks," Brightheart said as he recuperated enough to look out the window.
"Well, do you think we're just gonna park right next to the warehouse, moron? From here, we can walk there without being seen," Kaiba said and then got out of the limo. Everyone else followed.
"Which warehouse is it?" the Maid asked as they approached several of them near the dock.
Kaiba silently pointed to one on the left side of the dock and all of them started to creep silently and stealthily towards it until they were right outside the window, looking in. They could see Mokuba tied up inside (this made Kaiba's blood pressure rise) and the two guys sitting around apparently doing nothing.
"What are they doing?" Proudheart asked.
"Looks like nothing to me…wish we could be doing it," Grumpy Bear said.
"It smells like fish," Cozyheart added. "I like fish."
"Well all those crates in there are full of fish," Braveheart said.
"How do we rescue Mokey?" Friend Bear asked.
"We'll sneak inside," Kaiba began, "and maybe you idiots can do something right for a change and distract those goons in there while I rescue Mokuba." The Care Bears exchanged looks and then nodded. Kaiba began to explain The Plan.
Meanwhile, back inside the warehouse
"So we're going to do what?" Bob asked as his partner in crime dropped his charred cigar and pulled out another one.
"We're gonna kill them. It's easy as taking candy from a baby. We're hold the kid ransom at that building of yours—"
"You mean the psychiatrist building where I work?"
"Where else, idiot? We'll leave the kid there and tell his brother to leave the ransom money outside the place. Then after we snatch the money and the kid's brother goes inside to rescue him, we set fire to da place and any evidence that we ever did anything goes up in smoke," the tall guy said as he puffed at his cigar.
"MMMMMM!" Mokuba said.
"Shut up," the tall guy said. "You're just lucky we didn't toss you in the water by now…"
BOOOOOOOOMMMMMM! (that's not really the sound of crates crashing to the ground is it…unless the crates had atomic bombs in them….well they didn't but they did have fish in them and since those two things are so closely related to each other….)
BOOM! The crates came tumbling down.
"WHAT THE—"
BOOM! The fish pelted the tall guy and buried Bob. Yup, there was a LOT of fish. Conveniently, Mokey was on the other side of the warehouse so he wasn't buried. Unfortunately, there was only one door in the warehouse (or at least it seemed that way) so when Kaiba entered to free Mokey, he had to swim through a pile of fish to do so. The Maid just stared as Kaiba did this. That wasn't something you saw everyday…and poor Kaiba was thinking to himself 'If the fangirls knew about this…even I shudder to think….'
:) Muahaha….poor Seto….
ANYWAYS…..Kaiba quickly reached Mokuba and untied him (Mokuba was tied to a chair and you're probly wondering where the rope to tie him up with came from but you gotta remember that hardened criminals carry that kinda stuff around with them in their trunk…)
ANYWAYS…(gotta stop diverting) Mokuba hugged his brother as soon as he was untied. AWWWWWWWW………….. "I knew you'd come, big brother!"
"Remember, I'll always be here for you, Mokuba," Seto said. Such a Kodak moment it was….too bad it was ruined by the evil Bob who picked up a (small) fish crate that hadn't yet been broken and chucked it at Kaiba.
"Seto watch out!" Mokuba screamed and pulled his brother away just in time. The crate crashed against the wall and poured flounder everywhere. And, well, let me tell you that it just isn't a good idea to chuck a crate of flounder at Seto Kaiba. No siree. Cause he'll chuck one back.
And he did. But Dr. Anthony somehow dodged it and it crashed against the wall behind him. The fish fight was on. (Mortal Combat theme plays in background)
Meanwhile, the Maid was standing at the door and watching the fight. She wondered if she should try to gallantly swim thru the sea of fish and help Seto…but no, she thought, 'I'd just get in his way…' But the Care Bears had a different idea. They all screamed 'KALLABUNGA!" and jumped in the fish. Hey, Care Bears like to have a good time too.
By now, all of the crates had been broken so Seto and Bob had resorted to throwing pieces of crates at each other. Mokey even joined in the fun, throwing large Red Snappers at Bob. But Bob seemed to be pretty good at dodging the pieces of crate (sounds like pieces of eight arrrrrrr) and Red Snappers…little did everyone know that Bob had been the dodgeball champ of his high school…but Seto and Mokey weren't bad at dodging stuff either though it might have just seemed like they were good at dodging stuff when in reality it was Bob's aim that was a little off…Bob hadn't been very good at high school baseball…
But while the three continued to pelt each other, no one was paying attention to Bob's partner in crime who had slowly escaped the fish and was now inching towards…a secret switch on the wall…Ooooooooo…….
The Care Bears were still swimming thru the fish; they were small so it was taking them awhile. Seto didn't see the tall guy sneaking around either but Seto's no fool as we all know. He knew that he and Mokuba should be making thier escape soon but the only way to the door was to swim thru the fish. He had no doubt that he could out-swim Bob and escape but he wasn't so sure about Mokuba…and if he were to drag Mokuba along that would slow them both down. What to do now? Kaiba had no time to think as out of no where, the tall guy picked up a large piece of crate and hurled it at Seto (who was caught off guard and thus the piece struck him right-on. He slid across the floor.
"SETO!" Mokuba and the Maid yelled in unison. (the Maid had seen what the tall guy was about to do but her screams of warning could not be heard above the sound of the pieces of crate crashing around…or above the Mortal Combat theme)
ANYWAYS…because Mokuba was so shocked after the crate hit Seto, he had stopped moving and thus was a sitting duck for Bob to throw a piece of crate at…and this time Bob didn't miss.
"MOKUBA!" the Maid yelled and almost jumped into the fish but it was too late. The tall guy grabbed Mokuba and flipped the secret switch which revealed…a trap door! Yes, another way out and the new entrance led right to the dock where there was a convenient motorboat just waiting for them. Bob threw another piece of crate at Seto as he struggled to rise and then followed his partner in crime as they rushed out the door and hopped in the boat. Just then, the Care Bears emerged from out of the fish. Better late than never. They rushed out after the criminals and Mokey.
"MOKEY!" Tenderheart yelled as he ran but the motorboat's engine started. But Mokuba still managed to yell 'The psychiatrist building!' before they sped away into the night. Seto hurried to the dock just in time to see it go.
………oh you might be wondering why there's a trapdoor at the warehouse. Well, there's a simple answer. It was a mafia warehouse and thus it had a trapdoor in case of emergencies. See, so simple…………..
"We have to get to the psychiatrist building!" Braveheart yelled as they watched the motorboat disappear into the night. Tenderheart turned to talk to Kaiba about what to do but found that Kaiba was, like always, one step ahead. He had spotted another motorboat nearby. It was time for a chase scene.
Meanwhile the Maid was still stuck back on the other side of the fish when she heard the motorboat. She left the warehouse and looked to see who it was…it was Mokuba! And he was, naturally, being kidnapped. Poor kid. She wondered what she should do? But she didn't have much time to think about it as Seto and the Care Bears zoomed by on another motorboat.
"WAIT!" the Maid called but she knew Seto wouldn't stop.
"The psychiatrist building!" Friend Bear yelled back to her before they sped out of hearing's reach.
"The psychiatrist's building…guess that's the final destination," she said and ran and hopped in the limo. Oh yea, she had always wanted to drive one of these things. She practically squealed as she sat in the driver's seat…Seto had sat there not too long ago! And he had touched the steering wheel too…and…..what am I doing? The Maid thought, it's time to rescue Mokuba! She laughed a bit hysterically and sped away, driving around as though she was drunk. Thinking of Seto was the equivalent of getting high for her…(for us fangirls too :)
Meanwhile, Seto was cursing out the stupid motorboat he was riding on. It was so slow he might as well have ran. Well, it wasn't really that slow but it was much slower than the one they were chasing.
Tenderheart thought that maybe they could use some backup…he could signal for some cloud cars. That would ensure that no one would ever outrun them…so Tenderheart signaled into the sky.
And at Yugi's house…
All his friends were over for a little friendly sleepover! Joey and Tristen were gouging themselves with food. (they were trying to settle once and for all who could eat more) Tea and Yugi watched in amazement. Duke wasn't there. No one knew why, though they suspected that it had something to do with Grandpa not wanting the owner of a better game store than his to be sleeping over. Oh, and Bakura wasn't present either. Who knew what he was doing…
Probly playing strip poker with Marik! No, probly out terrorizing someone or something…
Anyways, suddenly, there was the signal! The telltale heart that meant that the care bears needed help! "Look guys!" Yugi pointed and they all turned their heads towards the sky. (Joey and Tristen were still eating) "The Care Bears need our help!"
Meanwhile once again…
Bob and his partner in crime reached the psychiatrist building at last. They hopped off the boat, knowing that there was not a second to lose. They had tied up Mokuba again and they carried him into the building and up the elevator they went. In no time, they had arrived at Bob's office and had once again tied Mokuba to a chair.
Afterwards, Bob stared out the broken window. (The Care Bears hadn't exactly found time to repair it) And then Bob noticed something. It was that thing that the window washers always stand on while they do their window washing (what the heck is that thing called?) And then Bob had an idea…and it was actually a good one….
"Hey," Bob said and the tall guy walked over to the window.
"What now?" he said as he puffed on his cigar some more.
"That thing the window washers stand on…I think we should pull it up here. We can make a quick getaway if we have to!" The tall guy looked at Bob like he was insane but then he said:
"Good thinking. For once." And the two pulled on the ropes and up the thing came until it was right there, within a foot's reach. Then the tall guy pulled out his gun. He was ready for a fight.
But so was Kaiba as the boat finally arrived near the building. Kaiba jumped off of it before it even stopped. The care bears followed him to the building and up the elevator they went until they reached the floor of Bob's office. They stopped outside his door.
"I'll go in first," Kaiba said.
"What should we do?" Good Luck asked.
"Stay here unless I need you…which I doubt that I will," Kaiba said and he turned the doorknob. The care bears all stepped away and waited. Kaiba stepped inside.
Meanwhile…..the Maid had just stopped to a screeching halt in back of the building. She hurried out of the limo and ran towards the back door.
"I gotta get to…." CRASH! She tripped over something. "What else…" The Maid rubbed her ankle and looked to see what she had tripped over…
It was the schiskabob knife! "Oooh…this could come in handy…" The Maid whispered and picked up the knife.
Back at Bob's office…
The first thing Kaiba noticed as he stepped into the room was Mokuba, tied up in the corner. The second thing he noticed was that the tall guy was pointing a gun at him. Great.
"I wouldn't take another step if I was you," the tall guy said.
"Well…you're not me," (kaiba's theme song!) Kaiba replied and began casually walking towards Mokuba, who was squirming around and hoping that his big brother knew what he was doing.
"Hehe…" the tall guy chuckled, "You asked for it…" And he began to pull back the trigger when….
"STARE!" Muahahaha! The care bears blasted him with a stare and the tall guy dropped his gun before it could go off. Bob promptly grabbed it and tried to finish what his partner could not but the care bears just aimed their stare at him and the gun went flying out of his hands and out the window…
It landed in front of the Maid. She looked up. What was going on up there? She picked up the gun and, carrying both it and the knife, she ran for the elevator.
Kaiba couldn't help but smirk. The care bears could be helpful…once in a while. He untied Mokuba—this was easier than he thought. A quick call to the police, (after he had beaten up on the two guys for ever messing with him) and everything would be resolved. Kaiba could finally say goodbye to the bear family (he hoped) and now that Mokuba was safe again, things could go back to normal (until the next kidnapper came along).
Yeah, in your dreams Seto. Things could never be that easy.
Bob and his partner fell to the floor and the care bears all scuttled into the room and shut the door. "Well that was easy," Braveheart said.
But Bob and his partner were not too quick to give up. They were gonna fight! So they jumped behind Bob's desk and began hurling random object around the room. Kaiba had to dodge a stapler, and the care bears almost got pelted with paperweights. And then…
The Maid busted on the scene! BAM! A rather large book hit the Maid square on and she dropped her knife and gun. The knife bounced (yes, schiskabob knives bounce) and landed near Bob's desk. But the gun went off as it dropped.
Kaiba could see that the gun might go off if it were dropped and the bullet would be right in line to hit…Tenderheart! So just as the gun went off, Kaiba grabbed Tenderheart and pulled him out of harm's way! Hurray for our hero Kaiba!
"That was close!" Tenderheart said. "Thanks Seto!" And Tenderheart hugged Kaiba…awwww. Kaiba pulled Tenderheart off of him fast.
"Ooops…sorry," the Maid said as she ran over to where Mokuba and Kaiba were. Geez, I can't do anything right! she thought. But then she glanced over at Bob and his partner…the partner was aiming to throw that knife at Kaiba! But Kaiba was too busy making sure that Mokuba was alright to notice! GASP! SWOOOSH:) The knife sailed toward Kaiba but this time the Maid wasn't gonna mess up.
"Look out!" she yelled and pulled Kaiba away. The sword stuck in the wall behind where Kaiba had stood. "ARE YOU OKAY?" The Maid yelled at Kaiba.
"Fine…" Kaiba said and the Maid looked like she was about to lose it so he actually….smiled! OMG! The Maid fainted. Sweatdrop….
And duh! Nobody was even noticing that the bad guys were making their escape! They had already climbed onto the thingy and were about to make their way down.
"HEY!" Mokuba was the first to notice. Everyone's heads turned toward them but it was, as usual, too late. The tall guy lit his cigar and threw it onto Bob's desk. (which had a lot of paper around it) It burst into flames.
"See you in hell," the tall guy said (such fowl words…) and down they slid towards safety.
"What now?" Brightheart yelled.
"Down the stairs!" Tenderheart said and they all rushed out the door. The care bears headed for the stairs but Kaiba had another plan.
"This way!" Kaiba called, leading Mokuba and the Maid toward the elevator.
"But…you're not supposed to take the elevator during a fire!" Proudheart said.
"Would you rather have the building burn down while you're trying to run down the stairs?" Kaiba argued. He had a point. The care bears all looked at each other…then they ran to join Kaiba. It was a tight fit inside the elevator but they all made it in there and down they went. Soon, they had reached the bottom floor.
But as the elevator doors slid open, they soon saw that they were by no means home free. Bob's partner had set the entrance on fire! How would they escape now?
"How are we going to escape now?" the Maid screamed.
"What are we going to do?" Baby Hugs and Tugs clutched each other for support. But then…BOOM! CRASH! SLAM! Something broke right thru the wall! (man what else) Everyone would have stared in amazement…but by now, they were pretty used to this kinda thing. It was the Cloud cars (those things are strong) and Bedtime was driving them.
"Thought I saw you signal for help," Bedtime said and everyone grinned. (Bedtime is such a good model for all of us lazy peoples) And so, everyone jumped into a cloud car. Kaiba wasn't exactly thrilled about escaping via cloud car but hey, you gotta take what you can get. So Kaiba took a cloud car too and they all sped off on the trail of the bad guys.
But someone else was already on their trail. For Yugi and friends were running up the road at this very moment. But they were stopped…by a shadowy figure.
"Hey, who's dat shadowy figure?" Joey asked. The figure stepped forward. He spoke.
"You all wouldn't happen to by any chance be trying to catch two bad guys who have just run away from a burning building?" the shadowy guy asked.
"Uh…not really…" Yugi answered, having no idea what the guy was talking about.
"Ah, well how about I put it in different terms? Are you by any chance trying to help the care bears catch two bad guys who have just run away from a burning building?"
" Uh…I guess so…" Yugi said.
"Well, here's your chance," the guy began, "they're coming down the road right now."
And indeed this stranger was correct. The two partners in crime were scurrying down the road like pack rats. They had though about stealing Kaiba's limo but then they figured Kaiba could track that…so they were running on foot.
"Hey, you's two!" Joey shouted. "You better stop right dere."
"Yeah, or else you'll have to face us!" Tristen chimed in.
"Sorry but we don't take orders from kids!" Bob yelled as the two showed no signs of stopping. But the shadowy guy knew what to do. He simply stuck his leg out and tripped the two criminals, who then went tumbling down. Joey and Tristen promptly began beating them up.
"Wow, thanks," Yugi said.
"Yeah, but who are you?" Tea asked.
"Batman," the guy said.
"REALLY!" everyone yelled.
"No, actually I'm the REAL Dr. Anthony," the guy said. Everyone gasped. So this was who Bob had been impersonating! Yugi 'n' friends looked from Bob to the real Dr. Anthony. They looked nothing alike. The real Dr. Anthony was one million times hotter! Yea :) How Bob had ever been able to pass as Dr. Anthony is beyond me…but somehow he had. But no more; the real Dr. Ant was back!
And then around the corner came the Care Bears! Everyone cheered! Yugi and friends (along with the real Dr. Anthony) cheered cause the Care Bears were all right. The Care Bears, Mokuba, and the Maid cheered cause the bad guys were caught. In fact. Only three people didn't cheer. The bad guys obviously didn't…and of course Kaiba didn't cause he hadn't exactly counted on Yugi and his little friends seeing him riding in a cloud car…..but heck, Kaiba was too fried to even care.
"Hehe, nice car, Kaiba," Joey jabbed as Kaiba hopped out of the car.
"Shut up Mutt," Kaiba said and said no more. He had had enough of everyone and he just wanted to go home. So now his real focus was on getting the care bears to go back to their home and leaving him alone.
Dr. Anthony called the police and soon the two criminals were taken away based on the evidence presented in the tape Mokuba had kept hidden. Dr. Anthony's identity was now restored! Of course the office building had burnt down…but hey, that wasn't his office anyways so it didn't matter. He could just do house calls or something….so the amazing Dr. Anthony walked off into the night and Yugi asked "But how'd you know about everything that was going on?"
Dr. Anthony smiled.
"I know everything…after all I am the real Dr. Anthony." And he walked away. No one knew what he meant but oh well. Everyone just thought to themselves: he is so totally batman.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx
"Well," Tenderheart began after a long pause, "I've come to a decision about you, Seto."
Kaiba turned to him. "Does it involve you leaving me alone?"
"It might. But first, I just wanna say thanks for saving me back there."
"And me," Mokuba said. All of the Care Bear family nodded, along with the Maid.
"Wow Kaiba you really saved them?" Yugi said, smiling. Kaiba thought to himself, great, now he's gonna think I should be part of his little smiling friend brigade. Just what I need…
"Your actions have really proven how much you care," Tenderheart said. "So for once it seems that our Carealot records are wrong. We all thought that you needed our help because you didn't care anymore. But now we know better. You really do care…you just don't always show it." Everyone smiled and giggled at this. Kaiba could barely take it…but he felt that he ought to say something…
"Well haven't I been trying to get it through your thick fluffy heads that I don't need help?" Kaiba replied.
"You were right," Tenderheart said as he smiled some more. Kaiba finally gave into the smiling.
"And…I guess you were of some use back there," Kaiba said. Man, now THAT was something you'd like to have on tape.
"I'm glad you think so but…" Tenderheart suddenly changed his mood to a more serious tone. "As a Care Bear, I can't just leave…we came down here to help you and I feel like we'd be giving up on the job if we just leave…so I've decided to make a deal with you. It's your chance to show how much heart you really have."
Kaiba could barely wait to hear this one. What would they make him do next?
"I've decided that we're going to settle this…" Tenderheart paused….
Kaiba looked over at him. They looked each other in the eyes.
"With a duel," he finished and the wind blew through the trees.
