Chapter 7
"The court is adjourn. Seto Kaiba is hereby sentenced to the death penalty" he lifted his hammer and was about to smack it when the court doors burst open. "SETO KAIBA'S INNOCENT!" The whole courtroom turned around to find none other than a young boy, his clothes ripped and he looked as if he had been beaten, standing at the open doorway. Seto's eyes widened as he stood up. "NII-SAMA DIDN'T DO ANYTHING! HE'S INNOCENT!" Mokuba yelled, running down the aisle to the front of the courtroom. Seto saw Pegasus stand up and slip out a gun "IT WAS-" There was a gunshot.
Mokuba stayed in his position. He was dead for sure. He must've been dead, he didn't feel any pain, he just felt his body feel an impact that sent him to the ground. Mokuba opened his eyes, to his surprise, it wasn't heaven. It was the courtroom. He was on the floor, and his older brother stood over him. "Nii-sama?"
"Mo…kuba…" Seto said in a raspy voice. "Nii-sama, what-?" There was a red circle that had formed on his chest. It began to bleed with blood. Seto had been shot in the back. "W-Why did you-?"
"Be-cause… I… m-made a… pro… mise…" Mokuba's eyes began to water. "Nii-sama!" Seto fell limp into Mokuba's arms, he fell unconscious. Pegasus got up to run. "HEY! Get him! He's trying to get away!" Joey said, tackling Pegasus to the ground. The gun skidded across the ground from Pegasus's hand. The bailiff quickly ran and hand cuffed Pegasus. "Mr. Pegasus, you are under arrest!"
-
"So wait, your telling me that Pegasus did everything? He put Duke up to doing everything?" Grim nodded. "I… I can't believe it" Rob said, putting his hand on his forehead. "But how did he-?"
"He just covered up his ass really good. We couldn't have found him out if it hadn't been for that little incident at the trail."
"My only question is; how did he get a gun into a courtroom?" Rob asked.
"The same way he got Duke to kill off his friends, threats and money. He tipped the police officers and even the judge. They are being trailed for that right now."
"And why Yugi? Why in the hell did he want Yugi dead?"
"Revenge, it's not easy losing to some kid from a small town in Domino. Turns out that Tristan had been working for Pegasus too, and ended up leading Yugi and his friends to the park in the first place where Duke was waiting for him. He killed Duke in the end, as well as Tristan and some of his other henchmen that had held Mokuba hostage."
"But what about Kaiba and Mokuba? Why were they there? And the drugs?"
"Turns out Pegasus tipped Joey off to give Yugi the drugs that night in the movie theater. He had no idea that his sister would be killed in the end. Joey turned himself in though. He thought it was what his sister would've wanted. Kaiba and Mokuba, well…"
"I got a note from an "anonymous" person telling me to come to the park at exactly 10:00 at night. He threatened to hurt my brother, so I decided to meet the low life face to face." Seto said, his hand on his brother's shoulder. "So your saying this whole thing was set up by Pegasus and Pegasus alone?" Grim nodded. Rob turned to Seto. "I could've… I could've gotten you killed. If Mokuba hadn't run in, you would be in the electric chair by now."
"I told you I hadn't done it. I told everyone, and I was under oath. No one believed me. But as I told you, I'm not afraid to die. At least, I wasn't back then." Rob his head to the side. "What do you mean? You're practically on death row, and your not afraid to die. And then now, when you're not in danger, and people find out your innocent, you're afraid to die?"
"I thought my brother was dead, Rob. I told you, my brother is the most important thing to me and I made a promise. If he was dead, then there was no way I could carry out my promise. I'm only alive because my brother's alive, because I vowed to him to protect him. I know he needs me, and I'm willing to be there for him, for life or for death. Until the day I die."
Rob was just amazed. He sat down in the chair. "Wow… I just can't believe it…" he looked over at Mokuba. "You've got a pretty cool brother, right there." Mokuba smiled, "I know." Rob stood up once more, now facing Seto. "Kaiba… I'm sorry. I'm sorry for everything. I can't believe I ever doubted you. I can't believe I actually tried to get you on death row… will you forgive me?" he asked, holding out his hand.
"I'm not usually a forgiving person." Seto said. He shook Rob's hand. "But only this once. Now you know what I'm fighting for, so you better be on my side next time. Come on, Mokuba, let's go see Kura and Kari." Seto said as he began to walk out of the room.
"Right behind you, Nii-sama!" Mokuba said, running up and grabbing Seto's hand. Seto looked down, smiled, and ruffled Mokuba's hair. 'I love you, Mokuba…' Seto thought to himself, looking down at his brother as they walked out together. "I love you too, Nii-sama."
-
"Wow, so I guess another case is closed." Rob said, marking the file "Solved", and putting it back into the giant file cabinet. "Yep" Grim said, turning and beginning to walk out of the file room. "Hey Grim."
"Yeah?" he asked, turning around. "Why did you believe Kaiba was innocent in the first place?"
"Well, let's just say he reminds me of someone I know."
"But… your younger brother died when you were a teenager, didn't he?"
"Yep. And that's why I decided to be who I am today. To find justice for the ones who are shot in cold blood."
Well, there ya have it. The ending. Oh, and just a couple of explanations. Cause you guys might have been a lil confused with my ending. With the "Well, let's just say he reminds me of someone I know", part; he means that Kaiba reminds him of himself. And with the "But… your younger brother died when you were a teenager, didn't he?" part; he was basically saying, "Your younger brother died when you were his age, and so if your like Kaiba, then why didn't you" basically, "kill yourself?" And you guys probably get what Grim was saying about the whole finding justice for all of those who are killed, because supposedly, his brother was killed like how Yugi was killed. Why I say supposedly when he's my own character and I should know weather or not it actually happened, I have no idea.
Well, I had tons of fun writing this story, and I'm glade you guys read it and liked it too. Oh, and thanks like, a friggin' for the reviews guys! I know I pretty much held up half a minute of your time with my little comment up there, so thanks for doing that too!
