"And I said I'd forgive you after I've gotten even with you." She added as she opened the door and walked out.
Matt only shook his head and smiled. "Nice try Takeshi. Now she'll never give you the time of day." He finished chuckling to himself.
"Shut up!" Takeshi yelled as he got up and walked away with his guitar.
Kyira scoffed as she mumbled something about Takeshi when she bumped into someone as she rounded a corner. "Oof!"
Staggering back Kyira winced slightly. "Oh, I'm sorry about that!" They both said at the same time. Looking up, Kyira smiled as she looked at the tall brunette. "Oh Duke, it's you." She said sounding surprised.
Smiling Duke nodded, "I wasn't expecting to bump into you here Kyira. I thought you'd be at band Practice."
Nodding, Kyira pointed behind her. "I just came from there. I'm on my way to Kaiba Corp right now."
"Oh, I see. So your practices are around here...wait Kaiba Corp? Why are you going there?" Duke inquired.
Shrugging Kyira answered. "Not sure really. They want me to help test some new arena or something like that."
"Figures," Duke muttered, "Nothing new with Kaiba. He's probably developing some new system to try and humiliate Yugi. He shouldn't waste his time."
Laughing Kyira waved bye to Duke as he headed off to the arcade and she continued towards Kaiba Corp. Soon she found herself standing in front of the large building. Two men in suits were standing outside. Just as she was about to walk up to them, another girl walked passed her and headed towards the building. They looked at her, their expressions solemn. "Mr. Kaiba is waiting for you." The girl looked puzzled as the two goons led her inside.
Kyira stood there dumbfounded. 'How many people has Kaiba invited here?' She thought to herself when a thought struck her. 'Or those to guys got mixed up. Laughing slightly she figured that was probably it, and followed behind the two goons and the confused girl into Kaiba Corp. Once inside she looked around. Taken aback by its size, she stood there in slight awe. She had only come here once or twice before and it always amazed her how large it was. Remembering that she was following those two men she looked around to see if she saw any sign of them. Spotting them heading off towards the left she quickly went to catch up to them.
Soon the two men stopped abruptly in front of the two large doors. Opening them, they led the girl into a large room, Kyira following closely behind them. In the center was an enormous arena, causing Kyira to gasp at its size and presence. "Ms. Ishida has arrived Mr. Kaiba," said one of the men as Kyira spotted Kaiba coming down a flight of stairs. The girl standing next to the two men looked completely puzzled.
"About time Ishida, I was beginning to think you'd chicken out." Looking up he saw the girl. "Who is this?" He asked sounding irritated.
The two men looked confused. "This is who you asked us to watch out for Mr. Kaiba, the girl that would come help test out the new arena."
"The girl that was to come is standing behind you two fools." Kaiba said. His patience was running thin.
The two men looked behind them and then back at the girl standing next to them, bowing to Kaiba and then the girl. "We're sorry for this misunderstanding." After apologizing to the girl, who said it was alright, they lead her back out.
Kyira sneered at Kaiba. He'd thought I'd chicken out? What does he take me for? "So what is this thing you want me to test out?"
Kaiba walked over to one of the arena's ends and climbed three steps onto a platform. "I'm glad you asked." He said. Kyira smiled as she knew where this was going. "I've gathered the top scientists and technicians in order to create the greatest dueling arena of all time." Kyira looked at Kaiba unimpressed. "So what's so great about this dueling arena, Kaiba? It just looks bigger and better polished."
Kaiba smirked," Why don't you find out for yourself."
"Alright then, I will." She said smiling, while heading over to the opposite end. Stepping to the top, she looked around. Everything appeared to be the same, just upgraded. Still nothing to be gloating about as Kaiba was, tough she figured that there was probably more to the arena than its high-tech appeal. Pulling out her deck, she looked up at Kaiba. "Alright then Kaiba, I'm ready to battle and see what's so great about this new arena of yours."
Kaiba responded only by pulling out his own deck. Both staring at each other they shuffled their decks and then each others using the deck transporter. "Let's duel!" They said in unison as they both drew out five cards. Kyira smiled at her hand, while taking a quick glance at Kaiba. Serious as usual. She thought to herself. I better stay on guard though. Kaiba's not one to take lightly.
Kaiba stayed serious as he stared at Kyira. "Alright Mokuba, begin the initiation."
"Gotcha, Seto." Mokuba replied.
Kyira looked surprised, wondering were Mokuba could have been, when clearly he wasn't with them. Looking upwards, behind Kaiba she spotted a panel. So that's where he is. Though her thoughts were interrupted by Kaiba's voice.
"Are you here to duel or to stare out in space?" He said sarcastically.
Frowning Kyira looked at her cards, "Fine then I play Mystical Elf in defense mode and place three cards face down on the field." The instance she said that the whole room swirled and changed completely. Looking around in awe Kyira looked down at herself. She was no longer standing on the arena's platform. It was like she had been transported to some ancient land and in front of her stood the most life like elf she had ever seen.
Kaiba smirked," If you're gawking from now then what are you going to do as the battle goes on?" Kyira scowled at Kaiba's sarcasm. "Well if you're finished gawking, it's my move." Drawing a card, he looked at his hand. "I'll place Saggi the Clown in attack mode and place two cards face down, ending my turn."
Kyira looked at Kaiba skeptically. Why would he play that card? Drawing a card, she looked at it. Wait, I remember this play! If I'm right, then one of Kaiba's face down cards is the crush card! Frowning she looked at her hand. Not sure, what to play when she remembered her face down card. "Oh yeah!" She exclaimed.
Kaiba gave her a questioning look. "Are you planning on making your move or not?"
Kyira smiled, "Alright then I will. I sacrifice my Mystical Elf to summon Mefist the Infernal General to the field in attack mode."
Kaiba smirked. "Am I supposed to be impressed by your monster?"
Kyira laughed, "You soon will be Kaiba. Now, attack his card Mefist!"
As the attack was being played Kaiba laughed, "You've just fallen for my trap Ishida. You've just activate my Crush Trap Card! Now all the monsters in your deck over 1500 attack points will be useless to you."
Kyira smiled, "Just as I figured. But I have a card of my own as well. Now I reveal my face down card, Mystical Space Typhoon! It destroys one magic or trap card on the field. So your trap card is destroyed and your clown is finished. Plus because of my monsters effect you lose a random card from your hand."
Kaiba sneered. "I know what the card does."
"Fine then," Kyira picked a card and Kaiba placed it in his graveyard.
"Well, it seems that you may be a better duelist that I thought, but you're still no match for me. I place Lord D in defense mode and then reveal one of my face down card, The Flute of Summoning Dragon, bringing two of my Blue Eyes White Dragons to the field."
Kyira's eyes went wide as the two dragons were summoned. Standing there in awe at how life-like it all seemed. She even felt a chill as the two enormous dragons stood before her. I'm doomed now. She thought to herself gloomily.
Kaiba smiled. "And now to end this duel. Go my Blue Eyes and attack her monster and her life points directly! Blue Eyes White Lightning Attack!"
Kyira braced herself, she didn't have anything to stop both of the dragons. Her two face down cards were useless. As the Blue Eyes attacked, the blast nearly threw her back. Trying her best to keep from falling back she eventually lost her footing and flew backwards. The holographic images began to fade as she flew off the arena and crashed onto the floor.
