A sudden noise caused Seto to bolt upright. He heard a barely discernable voice in the distance, but shrugged it off thinking that it was simply the nurses talking amongst themselves. However, when he looked at the clock he saw that it read 2:18 AM. It couldn't possibly have been the nurses this early in the morning.
He looked up to see over fifteen pairs of eyes looking straight at him. When they came out of the shadows, he saw dozens of terrible creatures of all shapes and sizes looking hungrily at him. As they got closer to his face, they merged into one, barely humanoid figure, its glowing yellow eyes illuminating the darkness. A third eye appeared on what would be its forehead.
It disappeared into the darkness, but not before whispering…
"Penalty game."
Seto closed his eyes for a moment, and when he reopened them, he was in the grip of a large serpent. It opened its mouth and…
He woke up in a cold sweat, screaming at the top of his lungs. He looked over at the clock again… 3:15 AM. He looked around, panting, hoping that by some small chance that nobody had heard his yelling.
"I have to get out of here," Seto thought to himself.
He went out of his room, and quietly walked down the halls towards the elevators. However, he discovered that they were disabled and he needed a key to get them to work.
"I don't have time for this…"
He looked over at the huge glass window, and knew exactly what he would do. He shattered the window with his fist, and jumped out of the third story. This was nothing though – he'd jumped off of cliffs before.
He managed to land safely on the ground with only a few large bruises on his legs and a bloodied fist from breaking the glass.
Seto looked up as a few drops of water hit him on the head. It was beginning to rain.
"I need to get back to my house," he told himself.
He stood up and started walking back to his home, when it started to pour. He could feel the wet pavement beneath his feet, as well as a piece of chewed bubble gum. It was then that he realized that he forgot to get his clothes back from the hospital. Cursing to himself, he continued walking until he reached the mansion, all sopping wet.
He hit the buzzer, but nobody answered.
"It looks like I'm going to have to resort to desperate measures."
Seto then proceeded to climb the fence. When he got near the top, his hospital gown got stuck. But he didn't pay much attention to this and proceeded to slip over the fence, wearing only his underwear.
When he rung the doorbell, it was Mokuba who answered the door.
"Seto, what are you doing here so early in the morning?" Mokuba yawned. "And why are you only in your underwear?"
"It's a long story," Seto replied hastily. "Let's go back to bed."
