Chapter Twenty: Paradise found
ANUS POV…
We had all piled into the flying thing that the men had come in. We were discussing the colds one's company, something about being bought out. I am a dog, I really didn't care.
All I knew was Darts had done something to the cold one personally and now he just might help us.
I laid in front of my master and the nice smelling girl. The dumb blonde was standing and the food boy sat behind him. Across from me was the cold ones brother, next to him was the cold one himself and then the two men who worked for the cold one.
"There's only one way I can think of" the cold one said "they must of hacked into our accounts"
Whatever that was, it sounded like stealing to me.
"Without you knowing it, how'd they get passed your security system?" the nice smelling girl said.
"We're obviously dealing with a powerful origination here"
"But sir" one of the two extra said
"Save it" he cut them off, I snorted how rude. "I'm not your boss anymore."
I looked up at the cold one; he seemed really down about losing this company thing…
One of the extra stood and said
"I won't abandon you sir, I will stand by your side till Kaiba corp. is yours again." The other one agreed and I nodded.
That's loyalty right there.
"Then what are waiting for" the cold one said.
"Let's go, we've to get to the museum and decipher those ruins"
I snorted; I don't think the cold one was referring to the ruins master. The cold one narrowed his eyes and said
"My research team is already there" my eyes widened, so I was wrong "and my security force will handle any unexpected guests."
I barked at him, that was a good idea. He looked at me with a brow raised and I stared back.
YAMIS POV….
I chuckled as Kaiba and Anu glared at each other before a beeping noise went off in the front.
"Mr. Kaiba", one of the pilots said "emergency message on the red line."
Kaiba opened his brief case to revile a lap top.
"This could be just what I am waiting for."
I felt m excitement grow, could the ruins be deciphered.
"SIR, were ready upload the images from the undersea ruins" I smiled as the man said this.
"So that was your plan" Joey said
"You made sure your team got their before Darts" I said.
"What did you expect" said Mokuba smiling at his brother "come on guys you know my brother is always one step ahead of everyone else."
The kid sure loved his brother; I supposed it was understandable as they were the only ones they had left in the world. Kaiba confirmed receiving the data; when suddenly something went wrong.
"Mind if we cut in, who are you ahhhh, hey don't touch that." Was what we heard
"It's them" I said as we all stood up
Kaiba looked shocked before saying
"Oh well, at least we got what needed."
He then sent them to Rebecca at our request. Professor Hopkins found the ruins he should know them best.
"I got the images, and my grandpa is looking them over now" Rebecca said she sounded very mad.
"Good" I said "lets meet up as soon as possible, oh and one more thing" I took a breath "I'm sorry,"
The professor said somthing to her and she said "your right" the man then spoke louder
"Pharaoh the quality of the images is much worse than I thought. Most of the carvings have been worn away. Unless we clear up these photos I won't be able to read much at all."
Kaiba then said
"Set a course for Kaiba corporations headquarters immediately"
"Dude are you nuts?" Tristan asked
"Darts and gang must have taken over the place by now" Tea said.
Anu barked from her position as Kaiba said
"the only way we can process these images fast enough is by using my computer system so we have no choice. "
"Say what" Joey asked
And I said
"Kaiba has a good point Joey." I couldn't believe I was agreeing with Kaiba but he did have the fastest computer.
"He does" Joey sounded very lost.
"First they took Pegasus away, and now they've taken over Kaiba's company which means we've got to stop these criminals before they make their next move. And we have no time to lose"
Anu barked in agreement while Kaiba said sarcastically
"Wow, your more gung ho then I expected" Anu growled and I didn't get it, but I think he insulted me. "You know sense you lost your title and all"
I rolled my eyes at his simple mind.
"Kaiba" my patents with him were at an end "this fight is about so much more than mere championship dueling title. Don't you see? People are getting hurt and the whole world is in danger"
He smirked and said
"Blah, blah, blah don't you get tired of making the same speech every time you're faced with a challenge? Stop saving the world and get a hobby"
I bowed my head in exasperation, there was not getting through to this guy. I looked at the laptop and said
"Rebecca, we'll meet you two at the pier."
She said ok and signed off.
Anu suddenly growled behind us.
ANUS POV….
The cold one was a little stunned when my form shifted to all white but I ignored it for the most part. The lights were back. I let out a growl and everyone looked out the windows.
The lights were brighter this time I noticed, that means the beast was almost ready to start consuming souls; Human ones.
My vision suddenly went dark.
I looked around and noticed other magic seekers around me, some stared at my form, others watched below. I turned below to see something moving in the watery depths. It was long and it opened it eye, an eye we all recognized. We all gave a howl as we were shown the danger we were in.
My eyes snapped open to see the others hovering around me. I whined and stared at the lights willing them to understand.
"I think she knows what the lights mean" the nice smelling girl said. I nodded.
Suddenly a voice echoed in my head and I let out a pain filled howl.
"For the battle of Atlantis will began again."
The beast was returning, he was here, this was not good. After I was done howling I noticed I didn't shift back into a husky, I stayed in the white form.
The others were staring at me; the cold one epically.
I looked back out the window, the soldiers would start to fall to the earth soon, history was about to repeat itself.
The skies had darken and the lighting kept flashing as we landed. I was still in the white form which was strange to me but I figured I would be need a lot.
We met up with dice boy, the smart blonde and the old man, they gave me questioning looks but I ignored them. The city didn't smell right. This was bad, really bad. My fur rustled as the copper took off.
The humans watched it go.
"Professor I am glad you're alright" the other master said.
"Me too" the dumb blonde said. They started small talk which I could have lived without. Apparently they ran into the angry blonde woman and the Australian. The dumb blonde got all bent out of shape. I barked at him when the smart blonde spoke up.
"Hey, any word yet on Yugi" I looked at her, how such a small girl could hold so much anger. "We have to find him. If you don't get him back, I will never forgive you."
I growled at her but she didn't look at me. The other master placed his hand on my head to hold me back.
"Plus we need him to fight these guys"
"I miss him to" the other master said "and I promise I will rescue him. You have my word"
She bowed her head like she didn't believe him and glanced at me.
"But I need to pay a little visit to Kaiba corp. first."
"Let me come with you" she said which surprised me. "You'll need some Tec support" awe so it was more of their human technology.
The cold one laughed and I looked over at him.
"This isn't some kind of field trip kid, but I guess you can tag along if want"
"I'm no kid" she yelled defending him and I growled, we didn't have time for this.
"Whatever you say kid" the cold one shot back with a smirk.
"I don't know about you geeks but I have a company to save so whoever is coming with me let's move" I looked at the other master and followed the cold one.
The other master's friend's whished us luck the other master caught up with us. The cold one looked down at me and said
"I don't know what's up with your dog but she seems to know how to sense these minions of guy were up against right?"
"Yes" the other master said as I kept sniffing around. My pure form had yet to disappear, which mean the city was overrun by magic; Dark magic.
The ones in the car like thing followed us and to make sure no one would try and stop us.
We had come to some kind of man whole and the cold one picked me up which I protested to greatly. He then climbed into the man whole and we vanished underground. The moon shone brightly till the car covered it so no one would follow us.
"Come on" the cold one said to the other master "try to keep up, it's bad enough I have to carry your dog." I growled at him."
When we reached the bottom he dropped me then took off running down the tunnel; the other master and I following.
YAMIS POV….
We ran down the tunnel and I called out to Kaiba
"Where are we going Kaiba" I panted trying to keep up with both Kaiba and Anu.
"We're taking a short cut, it's an underground passage to my central computer designed for emergencies."
As we came to a door, I thought this certainly was an emergency. Any began to growl deeply at the door. Kaiba slid a card into it and the door opened to anther elevator while a computer voice told us we had access.
"Now if Darts and his goon squad are guarding the area they'll never see us go inside" he said walking in followed by me and Anu who was still growling.
"And tell your mutt Yugi, that if we don't want to get caught, she needs to be quite."
Anu snorted at him but stopped growling while I said.
"She is only growling because she senses something."
Kaiba didn't say anything to that. We rode up the elevator. We were silent as we rode up and I knew Kaiba had a lot on his mind as I did. We were finally going to find Darts.
Suddenly Anu began to growl and bark. Her fur was standing on ends and she was bearing her teeth. Before I could say something, something crashed onto of the roof. It shook the elevator and the lights flickered then went out.
"Whose up their" Kaiba called and I had to resist the urge to roll my eyes. Anu growled louder while looking at the ceiling. The ceiling cracked then broke as a duel monster crashed in to the room. Anu dove at it. It dodged her and dove at Kaiba and through the wall behind him.
"I don't know what that was and I'm not staying to find out" Kaiba said. He took his duel disk and slammed it into the control panel which crashed and shot out sparks and electricity.
We pushed open the doors while Anu stood between us growling. When we got the doors open I saw why. The room was covered in duel monsters possessed by the Orichalcos.
"Kaiba" I said "you realize these monsters aren't holograms don't you"
"If you are suggesting that we're surrounded by real monster, you're as insane as the lunatics who took over Kaiba corp. these things can't be real."
I didn't take my eyes of the monsters when I said
"They are believe me, somehow a door way has been opened up and monsters from a parallel universe have entered into our world." I looked at him and said while smirking "unless you've got a better explanation, remember Anu didn't go from a Husky to that on her own."
Kaiba smirked at me and said
"I think you're nuts but this isn't the best time argue" I noticed he avoided the Anu subject."
Our duel spirit had kicked in, the thrill of fighting so I said
"Let's go Kaiba. We've nothing to lose" we took off and I added in my mind, 'and everything to gain."
As we ran we activated our duel disks while Anu cleared a path in front of us.
I summoned Celtic guardian while Kaiba summoned Force radar. With those to and Anu we were through in no time. I noticed Anu was lagging behind as she fought so I whistled to her. She looked up at me then ran to my side.
"Stay close" I whispered and she nodded.
"This way" Kaiba called as we approached a closed door.
Kaiba's key card didn't work this time.
"Oh no, someone must have reprogrammed the code" he said
To my ears translation we can't get in.
Behind us our monsters just got destroyed.
"We're trapped and our monsters are gone.
Suddenly a familiar voice came from the computer by the door as it unlocked.
"Need some help boys?"
The monsters lunged and we ran into the newly opened room and the door slammed behind us.
"Kaiba" Rebecca said over the intercom, who had somehow been able to hack in. "when this mess is finally over, let me know if you want me to upgrade your system."
She sounded very smug to my ears and Kaiba didn't answer. As we ran the doors just kept opening and closing behind us.
"Bad news guys I can't access the central computer, Kaiba corps. Main frame is on a separate system."
"No problem" Kaiba said "I've got it from here" and the last door opened.
The central computer was huge in my opinion but we had no time to stall.
"This should be able to enhance those photos" Kaiba said and I nodded.
Kaiba slid his card/necklace into the scanner and the process began. The computer made sure it was actually Kaiba standing in front of it which I guessed was a good safety measure. After a reboot he stuck the disk into the hard drive as it scanned the photos.
Over the intercom professor Hopkins began to talk.
"After its 10,000 year long slumber, the black serpent will swallow the sun then paradise will rule once more. This Paradise it speaks of must be Atlantis" so we were right.
I glanced at Anu next to me who was staring at the pictures on the screen.
"Hold on" Kaiba said as I glanced at him "that insignia looks familiar, where have I seen that before."
Because I didn't know, I figured he was talking to himself.
"Wait a second, it can't be"
"Can't be what?" I asked sense none of this made sense to me.
Kaiba was typing something trying to find the answer.
"The symbol of a secret financial organization known as Paradises, no one's ever seen them, but rumor has it that they've been controlling a small piece of every company in the world"
Kaiba suddenly jumped back shouting and I jumped at the anger in his voice.
"Yugi the president of paradises is Darts"
I stared as a bunch of pictures of darks appeared and Anu growled at them which confirmed my suspicion that this was the Darts we were facing.
"You don't know what were up against" Kaiba said sounding a little scared which surprised me.
"That's him" I said remembering the visions I had in the valley of souls "he's the stranger from my vision; he fought against Iron-heart in the ancient battle of Atlantis. He's Anu's old master; her first master.
I glanced at Anu before thinking
That doesn't make any sense how the same man who fought a war 10,000 years ago can be the present of modern day cooperation. I have to live in the mind of Yugi and Anu was reincarnated"
Suddenly the circuits behind the keyboard began to spark. Kaiba's computer was crashing. We covered our eyes as the screens exploded around us. Anu had jumped near my leg and was keeping her head down away from the flying glass.
The smoke became thicker then it wasn't smoke anymore. Anu growled loudly as familiar laughter filled the air.
"You're so close" Darts said as Kaiba and I stood back to back. "Yet so very far"
Behind us something flashed and us three turned to see an eye. Anu growled and I placed my hand on her head to keep her next to us. The eye turned into a long serpent that had Anu shrinking back to me but still growling in rage.
"Gentlemen" Darts said standing on the Leviathans head "think you for coming to me and bringing the magic seeker with you; you've made my job so much easier "he laughed then and I noticed Anu's ears were pulled back to her head and her tail was wrapped around me.
"Mr. Kaiba and the infamous pharaoh and of course Tahiti" he said
"What do you want" I demanded annoyed at this man.
"I assumed you to would have figured that out by now" he said mocking us "after all you are the 'chosen duelists' aren't you? Well then prove it"
"I don't have to prove anything to you" Kaiba shouted "now give me back my company before I get angry"
I almost rolled my eyes; I think he already was angry.
"And return the souls you took"
"Or else what pharaoh" he said "because it looks to me like you're in no position to make demands, so hand me my magic seeker then we can discuses you souls"
I almost laughed
"Your magic seeker Darts, take a look at Anu" I looked at Anu who walked fully out from behind me and I heard Darts gasp "she has been released from the Orichalcos and is now a pure magic seeker and I am the master"
Darts glared and muttered
"We'll see"
"Alright" I continued then I will make you a deal, duel us and if we win you will release your prisoners at once" I activated me duel disk and faced him.
Kaiba to activate his duel disk and stood beside me.
The beast roared and we spoke together while summoning our monsters
"We summon Timaus and Critias"
"Awe the legendary dragons, been quite a while. Hello Timaus, how is that eye of yours and that witch of wife"
Timaus became angry and blew a huge ball of fire at him which destroyed the leviathan. I stood straighter and said
"He's gone", no it couldn't have been that easy I thought.
"The ancient battle continues my friends" Darts voice filled the air again. "And soon your souls and magic seeker will be mine, Farewell for now"
Anu growled and I yelled
"Wait, come back" I needed to get Yugi back.
Our monsters faded away and we were back in the destroyed room. Anu suddenly growled and barked and the sound of metal breaking reached our ears. I turned to see the monsters breaking in.
ANUS POV…
The fool Darts. He is still possessed. I was sad about this but I didn't have to much time to dwell on it when the monsters broke in.
The cold one ran to and opening in the wall and said
"Come on get in" my master took off first and I followed. The door closed behind us. When the floor stopped vibrating and the doors opened again we were on the roof. I growled at the cold one, he had just trapped us.
The monster who could fly landed on the edge and the others climbed the elevator shaft and busted threw the door.
The cold one suddenly picked me up and said
"Alright get ready to jump"
"What" my master said and I howled. He had gone crazy.
"I trusted you now you trust me" he said turning to the edge. I heard a familiar roar. The flying thing he had shown up in before.
The other master saw it to and nodded in agreement. The two ran to the edge and jumped. Once we were in the flying dragon's head the cold one threw me at my master. The monsters on the ground fired at the dragon knocking it to the ground. As it crashed the roof opened and we were shot out of the head. We rolled at little bit and when we sat up I shook my head.
I growled at the cold one as he watched his company building spew blue smoke.
"I won't let him take my company apart" the cold one swore revenge
Suddenly a cold feeling washed over me and I growled as we looked up.
"Kaiba" the other master said and he too looked up.
The leviathans shadow was swimming across the sky.
"It looks like we have bigger things to worry about now" the other master said and I nodded. But for some reason I had the feeling that before things got better, they were going to get much, much worse.
there you go, now review and I will update more.
