When he went back to sleep, he had another dream.
He found himself at the end of a long hall. As he walked down the corridor, he could hear a voice whispering quietly.
"Seto…the time has come."
As he got closer to the end, the voice grew louder and more distinct.
"Let the darkness into your heart," it said.
He got to the end of the hallway, where he saw fragments of what appeared to be a spherical puzzle. When he picked them up, he could feel something guiding his hands towards his chest.
"Can you feel the energy?"
The puzzle fragments began to glow as he held them close to his chest. He could hear a heart beating close by, followed by cruel laughter. He was surrounded by a black mist, and watched as it formed into a shadow not unlike the one he had seen in his previous nightmare. This one however, looked more like him and didn't have a third eye.
It glared at him, and he woke up.
When he looked at the clock this time, it read 8:24 AM. It would be time for him to wake up shortly, so he knew that he might as well get out of bed.
After doing his daily routine, he went off to work. When he got there, he began to feel groggy.
As he started working, he got a splitting headache. He didn't have any medicine with him, so he tried his hardest to ignore it. Then, he felt pain in his chest.
"What the hell is going on here?" he thought to himself.
As he got up to get a drink of water, Seto doubled over in pain while clutching his chest. The pain was worsening by the minute.
"I've never felt pain this strongly…something's drastically wrong."
The pain was beginning to reach unbearable levels for him.
"It's as if something is tearing my heart in two…"
He heard an inaudible voice in his head, and screamed in pain as he shrunk about seventeen inches. He saw dark clouds swirling before him as his eyes turned a gold-yellow hue and his hair changed from brown to moss green. A shadow appeared around his eyes, and when the clouds had disappeared, he was no longer Seto Kaiba – he was a monster.
"It's great to be back," he said to himself. "The fresh air is so invigorating."
It was then that he realized that his suit didn't fit, and his underpants had fallen down.
"I knew I felt a draft in here," he muttered.
When he walked over to the desk, he tripped on his pants, causing them to fall down. It was just then that two of his bodyguards broke down the door.
"Mr. Seto Kaiba sir, are you alright?" they yelled while looking around.
They spotted a green-haired figure lying on the ground, wearing Seto Kaiba's clothing.
Seto stood up and looked around confusedly.
"Hey, you!" one of them shouted.
He spun around and was face to face with two well-built men who cracking their knuckles. One of them pointed at him and said:
"You're not Seto Kaiba! You were sent here by Pegasus, weren't you?"
Seto smirked. These people didn't look all that bright, so he figured that he wouldn't need to convince them that he didn't know who Pegasus was; simply saying that he never heard of him would be enough.
"I don't know who this 'Pegasus' is, but I can guarantee you that I am indeed Seto Kaiba."
"He doesn't have green hair," one of them said.
"And he also doesn't go prancing around without any pants on," said the other.
"I forgot to wear my belt today," Seto replied earnestly.
"We've had enough of your nonsense, Greenie. Get the hell out of here before we have to carry you out of here."
Seto turned around and started laughing hysterically.
"You have no idea what's going on here, do you?" Seto asked.
He put his crossed his hands over chest and closed his eyes. He began to glow blue as his hair turned brown and he grew several inches. When he opened his eyes again, he fell to his knees.
