My Heroes: A Hero's Journey
Kaiba's Journey, part 4

As the others headed out, two heroes secretly sparred with in the training area…

Kaiba threw several punches at Serenity but she easily dodged them and then suddenly hit back with her dark red stick and knocked Kaiba back to the ground. As Kaiba laid on the floor, she stood over him and smirked.

"I thought you were stronger than this!" she said.

"You caught me of guard, that's all!" Kaiba replied as he started to get up, but suddenly as he fully got up, Serenity quickly moved towards him and pressed his lips up against his! After a brief second Kaiba quickly backed away. "Whoa! What he hell was that?"

"What'ya think?" Serenity said as she moved towards him and kissed him again, this time passionately, and the strange thing was, Kaiba found himself kissing her back!

---Flashback---

Kaiba sat in his old over-grown garden outside his mansion, thinking about event that happened to him. He had previously just stopped his first archenemy and revealed his identity to the girl he loved. Suddenly he looked up to see the girl he was just thinking about standing not to far anyway from him and he stood back up.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you, Serenity," he said as she started to walk closer to him.

"No. No, Seto... I'm sorry. The day that Bandit Keith died, I said terrible things," she replied.

"True things, Serenity. I was a coward with a gun, and justice is more than revenge, so thank you," Kaiba said as she smiled sweetly at him.

"I never stopped thinking about you... about us," Serenity said as she became even closer to him. "And when I heard you were back, I started to hope…" Suddenly, touched his lips with hers and they kissed passionately...

---End Flashback---

As Serenity and Seto Kaiba kissed passionately, she started to remove the black bat shaped mask Kaiba wore on his head.

"What are you doing?" Kaiba asked.

"Taking off your mask, what else?" Serenity replied as fully removed his mask. Kaiba suddenly pulled out of the kiss in confusion.

---Flashback---

Back in Kaiba's over-grown garden, Kaiba and Serenity still kissed. But suddenly, Serenity broke the kiss and backed away.

"But then I found out about your mask," she said to Kaiba.

"Batman's just a symbol, Serenity," Kaiba replied as he went towards her, but she stopped him by holding her hand up and gently touching his face.

"No, this...is your mask." she whispered. "Your real face is the one that the criminals now fear. The man I loved, the man who vanished, he never came back at all. But maybe he's still out there somewhere. Maybe someday, when Domino no longer needs the Batman, I'll see him again."

Kaiba blankly looked back at her, trying to take in what she just said. But after a while he nodded back at her.

---End flashback---

"You're not Serenity!" he yelled as he went to push her away. But suddenly, Serenity picked something out of her pocket and stabbed Kaiba in the neck.

Kaiba fell to his knees in pain as Serenity pushed the end of the needle in so the liquid in it went into Kaiba's blood stream. As she did this Kaiba angrily looked up at her as her skin started to change to blue with scales on it, her hair turned to blonde, her eyes turned yellow and her face changed into Mai's.

Kaiba wanted to get up a fight back, but he was getting weaker by the second. Eventually he collapsed as the drug that was injected into him started to take effect. Mai, or sometimes known as Mystique stood over his unconscious body and smiled. Suddenly, she heard someone from behind her and quickly turned around to see Yugi (both halfs) standing there astonished.

"Kaiba!" they both yelled and quickly turned to run. "Brian! Hel…"

But before, Yugi could escape, Mai quickly transformed into Tea and used Tea telekinesis powers to shut the door in front of him.

"Sorry, I can't let you do that!" Mai said a she started to move towards him, while changing back into her blue form again.
