Desert Storm
Chapter 2 – Bad Weather and Dangerous Rescues

Ding Dong
It was Lunch time for Yugi and his friends. They seated their selves at the last free table in the cafeteria. It was raining outside and the trees had already lost their leaves. Winter was beginning.
"Stupid weather!" Joey said, seating himself at the window. "It's cold! It's wet and you can't have barbecue parties!"
"Barbecue parties! Why do you always have to think about food?" Tea asked, getting out her lunch (vegis!).
"At least I don't eat like a rabbit!" He said, looking angrily at Tea.
"Would you please stop it! We have other things to talk about!" Yugi said, interrupting their death glares.
"About what?" Joey asked, confused.
"Domp ou emember? (Don't you remember)" Tristan said, his mouth full of toast.
"Would you please stop talking with your mouth full! That's discusting!" Tea said angry.
"Or'k er show (O.K. I'll stop)," Tristan said, the toast still in his mouth.
"Ew! That's really discusting!" Tea screeched, closing her eyes and turning away from Tristan.
"Would you please be quiet!" Joey yelled, noticing that Yugi wanted to say something.
"Thank you, Joey. So, about the letter…"
"What letter?" Joey asked, confused (again).
"The letter from Marik and Isis!"
"Oh, that one!" Joey said, remembering the letter.
"So, how are we going to get to Egypt?" Tristan asked, without something in his mouth.
"With an airplane, you idiot!" Joey said to Tristan.
"Duh! But how are we going to get one?" Tristan said angry, looking at Joey, who was looking angrily at him.
"Would you please stop that!" Tea said, now also getting angry.
Then they all turned to Yugi who was by now looking extremely frustrated.
"What's the matter?" Joey asked, again confused.
"I-try-to-talk-to-you-and-what-do-you-do? You-start-to-fight! This-is-important-so-would-you-please-stop-fighting-and-think-about-how-we-will-get-to-egypt!" Yugi said in one breath,
because he was so angry. It was, seldom that Yugi got that angry and so the others knew that it really was important to him. But Tristan and Joey couldn't hide a smile
"So how will we get tickets?" Tea asked, looking sternly at Joey and Tristan. They stopped smiling.
"Buy some," Tristan said calmly.
"Do you have enough money?" Tea asked.
"No!"
"See. So how do we get some?" Tea asked, now looking at Yugi.
"We could ask Kaiba," Yugi suggested.
"Ask Kaiba?" Joey said, getting louder," Asking Kaiba is like asking the Devil if he would save an Angel! He would never help us!"
"How do you know?" Tea asked.
"I … O.K. you got me. Do what you want," Joey said, crossing his arms angrily and looking away from the group.
"So, let's go after school," Yugi said, taking out his lunch.
The Kaiba Corp. was the tallest building in Domino City and was build on an 'island' in the middle of the main street. Yugi and his friends had been there several times, but still, they were always stunned by the building.
They walked past the three Blue-Eyes White Dragon Statues that 'guarded' the building and they entered the entrance hall.
But this time it was not, almost empty and organized. Today, many people were running from one end of the hall to the other. Some came out of the elevator, some ran into it, some were pestering the lady at the reception, and some yelled at other people running across the hall.
Yugi and the others had to watch out on their way to the elevator. They knew the way to Kaibas office, but today they were not sure if they would even get there.
The elevator was full of people. They felt like canned meat. They couldn't even reach the
buttons, so they watched the numbers rising and hoped that someone wanted to get out at their stop.
Finally, after going up and down five times, someone got out at their stop. They squeezed out of the elevator and welcomed the almost empty hallway.
They walked down the hallway till they reached the doors to Kaibas office. Yugi knocked, but no one answered. Joey couldn't resist and opened the door, no one was there.
"Maybe he is busy and had to go somewhere else," Yugi said, looking back at the others, who were standing behind him. Suddenly they heard a familiar voice coming from another room. It was Kaibas.
"There he is!" Joey yelled, pointing at the room from where the voice had come. Yugi started walking to the room, the others still behind him (they knew that Kaiba didn't like their visits, but he respected Yugi, so they use him as a 'shield'). They heard a loud click and then again Kaibas voice.
"What is going on here?"
And another voice
"I don't know sir…"
Then there was silence. Just as Yugi was peeking into the room, his head sticking out from behind the door frame, he heard a loud 'BOOM' and they threw their elves on the ground, thinking the whole building would blow up. But when nothing happened, they realized that the 'BOOM' must have been a fake. Then they heard the click again and Kaiba saying," What is going on here?" And then another person," I don't know sir…", and then the loud 'BOOM'. That was when they realized, they were hearing a tape.
Yugi peered into the room again, with the others right behind him.
The room had computers and monitors on the walls and fancy chairs stood along the walls at the computers.
Joey walked into the room followed by the others. He noticed a red button that was blinking. His hand reached out to press it, when suddenly a man entered a room.
"What are you doing here?" he yelled, hurrying over to Joey to get him away from the machine. Joey walked over to Tristan and they all stared at the man while he started pressing loads of buttons till the red lamp suddenly went out. Then he turned and looked at them questioningly.
"We are looking for Kaiba," Yugi said.
"Seto Kaiba!" The man gave out a laugh. "We are also looking for him."
"Huh? Why are you looking for him?" Joey asked, confused.
"Because he's disappeared and his brother with him!"
"How can someone (with such an ego!) disappear?" Tristan asked, very confused.
"Yesterday, they went to Egypt, to a conference, but somewhere in the desert we lost contact. The only thing we have are the last words spoken in the plane."
"Are you looking for them?" Yugi asked, with a worried face.
"Yes, but a desert's big and it is hard to find someone in there when communication keeps being cut of by sandstorms. The only possible way would be by camel or horse, but no one dares to go into the desert." The man turned around and started to push more buttons.
Yugi turned around to the others. They knew what he was thinking.
"No Yugi!" We will not go into the desert!" Joey exclaimed.
"But Joey! They need help and we need to get to Egypt. We could help find Mokuba (and Kaiba) and then we could just stay there and go to Marik and Isis." Yugi said, looking at Joey with a sad puppy face.
"O.K.Yugi. If you go then I'll go to!" Joey said, giving up.
"If you go, then I'll go to," Tea said.
"I will not let you go alone (someone has to look after you guys)!" Tristan said.
"Thank you," Yugi said, smiling. He turned around to the man, who was still working. "Excuse me sir," Yugi said carefully.
"Yes," the man said, turning around.
"We would like to help you find Kaiba!"
I hope you liked this chapter. Third one's coming soon!
