Kaiba Corp has the area blocked off and the group starts to head out of the area...
Kaiba and Mokuba stay to look around at the damage. They then start to follow Yami and the others out.
There is a click as Kaiba's Duel Disk is activated again. "What!"
Everyone stops to see what was wrong.
One of the holo-generators comes out of Kaiba's Duel Disk and hovers a short distance away. It sparks and an image appears...
"NO, IT CAN'T BE!" says Yami.
The image clears up, it's Cell! Cell groans as he concentrates on becoming solid again, with the generator inside his gut.
Log looks at Cell, still woozy.
"I... WON'T... BE... DEFEATED... I AM CELL!" He creates a strong gust of wind around himself. "This duel has gone into overtime... and it's going to be sudden death..."
Yami looks at Kaiba, "Can you turn off your Duel Disk, Kaiba?"
"No, I can't." He then smiles, "But I have control over it this time."
Cell looks at him, "You want to be the first to go, Kaiba? I doubt that anything you have will even scratched me."
The other holo-generator flies out and goes to its position on the ground. "Feel the power of my Deck! My three Blue-Eyes White Dragons!"
The three Blue-Eyes appear on the field and roar at Cell, who's anger is calming down a bit.
"You are nothing but rogue data!" says Kaiba. "My Blue-Eyes' attack with overload the projector inside you and destroy you! Attack together, my Blue-Eyes, with Nova Blast!"
The three dragons roar loudly, then fire a projectile of light and energy from their mouths. Each bursts flies at Cell and hits him simultaneously.
Kaiba smirks, "There." His eyes suddenly go wide, "WHAT!"
Cell appears through the dust and smoke, waving the smoke away. "You trying to test me, Kaiba?"
Kaiba growls.
"Why are you back!" questions Yami.
"Back? It was wrong of you to think I was gone," says Cell in a more taunting mood. "Hm... Now, let's see... Who should I destroy next?..."
Yami steps forward, "I'll take you on."
"No way," says Kaiba. "I'm going to be the one to send you into the Recycling Bin, virus."
Cell looks between the two challengers. "Hm... Tough choice... But I think I'll hold off your challenges for now. I should be going."
"Where would you be planning to go?" asks Kaiba.
Cell chuckles once, "You'll figure it out soon. And I want to wait till you two are ready to face me."
"Yugi's the best of the best!" yells Joey. "He'll whip your butt within ten minutes!"
"Please... No one can know what I can do, except the one who programmed my AI design can guess."
Log looks at Cell, holding his arm.
"But he can't fight me in his condition. Which reminds me..." Cell holds his hand out at Log.
Dente appears in front of Log, surprising everyone including Dente.
"DIE!" yells Cell as he fires a blast from his hand. The blast hits Dente, who yells in pain. Dente falls to the ground and his wireframe image disintegrates. Log's jaw drops.
Cell then points his hand towards Yami. His Duel Disk activates. "What's going on!" says Yami. One projector flies out and comes to Cell, who now holds it in his hand.
"Why would you need another one?" asks Kaiba.
"Obviously to have a partner." Cell makes a card materialize from the air.
"Stop him before he finishes," says Log.
"Foolish boy," says Cell. "I'm already done..."
The holo-generator starts to ascend from Cell hand, Cell also ascends upward.
Yami's other holo-generator goes to its position as he draws a card. "I bring out my Dark Magician! Attack the generator quick!"
Dark Magician fires a Dark Magic Attack at it, as a wireframe model forms. The attack collides with it, creating a thick fog of dust, smoke, and light around the model.
Everyone watches to see what is the outcome, but uneasy with Cell still smiling. A figure appears in the fog.
"What!" says Yami. "I was too late!"
Log begins to shake, he recognizes the figure...
Cell looks back down at the humans. "Allow me to introduce my new partner... the Dark Overlord of the Universe... FRIEZA!"
A laugh comes from the fog as it disappears. Frieza (first form) can be seen clearly now. "Thanks for the invitation."
"Another freak," says Kaiba.
Cell and Frieza look at each other. "You know what to do?" asks Cell.
Frieza chuckles, "Time for some more fun."
Frieza and Cell look back down at the ground and hold out their hands, a fireball forms in front of their palms.
"Not liking this," says Tea.
Frieza and Cell each fire two blasts from their hands, hitting the three Blue-Eyes and the Dark Magician. All four monsters get hurt but don't disappear like normal.
"More..." says Frieza. Then both fire numerous blasts at the monsters and crowd.
Everyone tries to duck and cover or run from the attack. The attack soon ends and everyone looks back up into the sky, but Frieza and Cell are gone...
"They're-- they're gone," says Tea.
The four monsters disappear and the two remaining holo-generators return to their owners.
Kaiba goes up to Log and grabs him by his coat. "Come on. The sooner the doctor has a look at you, the sooner you can answer my questions."
"Should we let him go alone with Kaiba?" asks Joey.
Yami starts following. "You going too, Yugi?" asks Tristan
"Yes. Then I'll be able to get some questions answered as well."
"I'll come with!" says Joey.
"We might as well too," says Tristan. He and Tea follow as well.
Kaiba passed his brother, "Mokuba, head back to Kaiba Corp and ready for possible recall..."
Mokuba pauses for a second, "Okay, Big Brother. I'll do that." He heads to a limo surrounded by KC goons.
Kaiba pushes Log into another waiting limo, then enters as well. Kaiba quickly closes the door before Yami could get in.
"Kaiba..." growls Yami.
Kaiba opens the window. "I don't remember offering you four a ride. Catch your own." The limo pulls away, as well as Mokuba's.
Joey, Tristan, and Tea get up to beside Yami. "Looks like we're walking..." says Tristan.
Cell and Frieza look down from a building at the limos driving away, then going in different directions. "Time to put our plan into action," says Frieza.
Cell nods, then both take off in different directions...
Log wakes up in a hospital bed, he doesn't even remember passing out. "H... huh?"
"It's about time you woke up," says Kaiba's voice. Log looks at him, Kaiba is sitting in a chair on the opposing side of the room. "You were lucky that you weren't seriously injured. But now your luck is going to change."
"When did I get here?"
"I brought you. You passed out on the way here. The doctors say it was stress and the electrical jolt that made you pass out along the way."
Log sighs, "No get-well cards or flowers. I take it you're here for something else."
"Damn right, I am."
Log looks at his arm, his Duel Disk has been removed. "Where--"
"I managed to get it before it was given to the police," says Kaiba as he motions to a locked metal box. "You have some explaining to do. Now."
"I meant no harm in this."
"How did you manage to break into my company's software?"
"... I had help. But --."
"But nothing! You and whoever helped you have turned my company's prime hardware into a potential weapon of war!"
Log rolls his head away from Kaiba.
"I want names... Now..."
"What do you plan to do with them?"
"After stopping those two rogue highjacking viruses, my company will confiscate their Duel Disks and computer materials."
"... I take it you are going to confiscate mine too."
"Obviously. Now, I want--."
There is a knock at the door. "That looks like his name..." says a familiar voice.
A few teenagers peer in through the door. "Yup, this is the right room," says Joey.
Kaiba growls. "You have no purpose being here! Now leave!"
"He's the only one that can make us leave," says Yami as he motions to Log.
Log says nothing, looking between Kaiba and the others.
"Fine," moans Kaiba. "Let's get this over with, then I'll leave."
"You promise?" asks Joey.
"Now tell me who helped with this!"
Log looks around and then says, "Four others. ... from anywhere in the world."
"From where?" asks Kaiba.
"I don't know. Australia. The United States. Other places."
"How could you five get together then?" asks Tea.
"Online. Community Boards that barely anyone knows about. We all help create the new program for the Duel Disks and created our own cards to put in. I got mine working first, so I went to test it out a few days ago. It worked ALMOST like as it was suppose to."
"'Almost' is because your program created a super-virus," says Kaiba.
"It's your own virus that has evolved," snaps Log back. "If someone wants to know anything about them, only you know what your original virus was created to do."
Pegasus carries a glass of red wine in his hand as he starts to head to his chambers to get ready for the night. He enters and turns on a nearby light. He walks over to his dresser, where a servant had already place his nightclothing for him.
A light suddenly comes on. "Hm?" says Pegasus without much worry. "Who's there?"
There is a laugh. "Maximillion Pegasus, is it?"
Pegasus turns around and is surprised to see an oddly shaped humanoid. "I am... And you are?"
"Lord Frieza." He hovers off the floor a bit with a sphere of light in his hand, which lights up the room a fair bit.
"Hmph. Don't tell me. This has something to do with what happened in Domino City earlier today. Still, you don't look like the one that was on the TV."
"Cell is doing his part right now. I'm here to do mine."
"And that is?"
"I need all your databases on your game, which includes cards, gamesets, and even company contracts."
"As if I'll just give all that to you. That information is worth hundreds of millions of yen."
"I'll give you a choice, since I already know you're a gambling man... Either you allow me to copy all that information, or... we'll duel for it."
"You'll duel the creator of Duel Monsters. You're underestimating me."
"As are you to me..."
"Okay, I know what you'll get if you win, but what if I win? You better put up some good stakes."
"I offer myself. I'm going to be extremely expensive in a couple hours by KaibaCorp... and potentionally a hundred times more by any other company in the world."
Pegasus picks up his wine glass again and drinks.
Frieza extends his hand, "Deal?"
Pegasus thinks for a moment... then shakes. "Deal."
Both laugh under their breath...
"I still want names," commands Kaiba.
Log ignores the question again.
"I got a better question," says Joey. "Where did you get the idea for those cards? They seem to be from something but I don't think I've seen it."
"DragonBall Z," replies Log.
"DragonBall Z?" repeats Tristan. "Never heard of it."
"It's--... a very complicated story. Maybe I'll tell you later how--."
A cell phone rings. Kaiba reaches into his coat and pulls one out. He reads the caller ID before answer.
"What is it, Mokuba?" he asks.
There is a familiar voice from the other end laughing, but it wasn't Mokuba. Kaiba tenses up.
"Greetings again, Kaiba," says Cell's voice. "Hope you weren't starting to forget about me already..."
"You! What are you doing with Mokuba's cell!"
"Your brother forgot it in the limo. Fortunately, I was able to get it before the limo had its little... accident."
"If you harmed my brother, I'll--"
"You can't do a thing... But don't worry, he's fine. As a matter of fact, I think we are about to meet in person. Here he comes now..."
"Mokuba!..."
"Let's see how long it'll take you to get to KaibaCorp. See you soon, Seto." The phone goes to a dial tone...
Kaiba rises to his feet.
"What was that all about? What's happened to--" asks Yami.
"NOT NOW!" Kaiba bolts out of the room, pushing whoever is in his way aside.
-None of that sounded good...- thought Yugi's consciousness.
Cell crushes the cell phone in his hand.
"YOU!" yells Mokuba's voice.
"Yes, me," says Cell as he turns towards the boy. The limo behind him is crushed and crippled. Two goons are seen on the ground, knocked out.
"What do you want?" asks Mokuba.
"I wish to speak to whoever is in charge of this company," says Cell with a grin.
"When my brother is away, I'm in charge."
"Then my business is with you."
"What business?"
"I want information that I require... and you happen to have."
"As if I'll hand anything over to you. You're nothing but a computer virus with feet."
"A simple computer virus, huh? You think you can beat me?"
"I know my brother can delete you in microseconds."
"And what about you? Or do you just stay in your brother's shadow in every situation."
"I CAN TAKE CARE OF MYSELF!"
"So you want to take me on?"
"I can take care of you, no problem."
"Good. Then we can duel for the information I require."
"Huh? No wait--."
"After all... since I'm just a simple computer program..."
Mokuba growls. "Fine, but none of your fake cards. Only real ones that are official for play!"
"Deal. If I win, you give me the passcodes to get into your computer systems. If you win... I'm deleted and you get a mighty little win-star pinned to your coat." A duel disk appears on Cell's arm.
"But I don't have my cards or a duel disk with me."
A duel disk appears on Mokuba's arm, surprising him. A holo-sheet appears in front of him. "Create your deck," says Cell. "I'll be using the same set as you see on there."
Pegasus and Frieza stand on opposing ends of Pegasus' holo-dueling area.
"I got my deck all set, you can't beat my treasured cards," taunts Pegasus.
"I'm sure you do. But you don't know what cards I have, I guarantee that." Frieza downloads his cards' stats through touch to the arena's computer.
"More of those fake cards? Really, to every strategy, there's a flaw. You're going to fall hard and fast."
"We'll see who'll fall..."
"Mokuba must be in trouble..." says Tea.
"But Kaiba kept us out of the loop," says Joey. "What can we do?"
"What if those two holograms are torturing Mokuba?" asks Tristan.
There is silence for a moment.
Yami looks at Log, "Can they be that heartless."
"... Since this afternoon, I've stopped guessing what they can do."
Kaiba's limo races back to KaibaCorp, Kaiba extremely focused...
Cell and Mokuba square off against each other, their stares lock at each other's. Cell grins while Mokuba has a mean poker-face...
Frieza chuckles twice as he strategies how to play this game. Pegasus stares at Frieza in great self-confidence...
Mokuba VS Cell... Pegasus VS Frieza... "LET'S DUEL!"
To Be Continued...
