After the duel Silver and Malcolm went over to congratulate Akiza about her win. Sema, Brigid, and Sharab all went over to Mike because they were all wondering why Mike taught Akiza how to accel syncro knowing there had to be a purpose behind that. Sema reached Mike first and asked him, "Mike what's going on that you had to give Akiza her full strength? Last time we all saw each other you said she was not ready." Mike sighed, "Look I've only got a tip off that something is going down at this tournament, however I have no idea what." Brigid laughed, " Yah and I don't use weapons come on Mike you wouldn't use such a drastic precaution unless it was something truly dangerous." Sharab agreed, "Yah Mike you may have a hammer but you are careful which nail you strike. You would not prepare for this big of a swing unless you knew what the nail was." Mike sighed, "I know of 2 nails but I don't know which is bad or if both are. Give me 2 day's and then meet me at the restaurant 'Duel Classic's' and I will tell you what I have found out." Sema started but Sharab cut him off, "Ok fine in 2 day's then." As they all left Sema asked Sharab, "Why do we have to wait why can't we help him when this could affect us too?" Sharab just sighed, "You know Mike he prefers to keep his friends out of the flame for as long as he can protect them from it. He knows he cant keep us from this forever he just wants to make sure he has all the fact's before he allows us to move."
(Later that night)
Akiza was awoken by sounds outside her hotel room. She wondered who could be going out at this time of night. She peeked out the door and saw her father still fully dressed heading back out. Akiza thought about following him, however decided to go back to sleep because it was too much work for this time of night. Moments later she heard a sound in the hall but just decide to go back to sleep.
(Outside)
As Mike headed outside he decided to wait by the door, and sure enough Sema went by him saying, "Where could have he gone?" Mike said laughing a little, "Looking for me?" Sema jumped to and spun around to see Mike. Mike continued, "You realy want to make sure that your family won't be harmed by whatever I'm investigating don't you." It was more of a statement than a fact and Sema said in response, " Look Mike I feel that I need to see for myself. We just see so differently on things so I need to make my decision myself." Mike sighed, "Fine but let me do the talking and stay back. This could get really hairy really fast." Sema grimaced, "Mike I can take care of myself your not the only one here who can do something about whatever it is." Mike said, "Just keep back as much as you can I cannot guarantee your safety with the people I'm going to try and infiltrate. You have to do what I say if you fallow me because I want to keep the knowledge of who's infiltrating them to just me." Mike started walking without saying another word and Sema followed thinking, 'Why can't he just put a little trust in us?' While Mike was thinking, 'Why can't they just stay out of harms way? I know they want to help but still….'
Mike continued walking along for a long time and Sema started wondering just where he was headed. He felt a sea breeze and guessed he was heading toward the coast. Eventually they reached a port and Mike headed toward one of the warehouses. He turned to Sema, "You stay out here and stand watch I'm going to go inside and find out what their orders." Sema nodded thinking, 'orders? Why is he trying to find out their orders?' Mike dashed off leaving Sema with more questions than answers.
(Inside the Warehouse)
Mike went through the door and quickly closed it. He managed to keep up his speed and dodge around corners and hallways to avoid the patrols. He dashed to the computer room and closed the door. He quickly went over the one of the computers and turned it on. He hacked his way into the computer and stuck in a flash drive. He started downloading all the files on the computer that were not part of the original programing. After the download was finished he sighed, "I should have guessed Sema would not have listened to me" And turned around to see 3 people guarding the door.
(Earlier)
As soon as Sema saw Mike go inside he said, "I didn't come just for you to tell me what happened" And dashed in after him. As soon as he went he ran right into 3 of the patrols. They immediately raised their duel disk and said, "You are not making it out of here alive." Sema sighed as he raised his own duel disk, "Why does everything around Mike always seem to be like this."
(Mike)
They all raised their duel disks at once and put on their D-Gazers. All around the room information flowed up until the room was in a greenish hue. Mike said, "Sense I am dueling alone I'll start."
