Kaiba's limo pulls up to the visitor's doors of the hospital. When Seto steps out, he is instantly confronted by a guard, who tells him that visiting hours are over. Seto ignores the man and simply walks in.

Marik jogs to follow Kaiba in, after parking his bike in the secured parking lot.

-

Up several floors, Log watches a ceiling-attached TV. Unable to sleep from what happened that day and might happens in the next coming days. Once it reaches eight o'clock, he can get a doctor to check on his arm and he can leave.

The door opens, startling him a bit. A nurse steps in with a clipboard, "Okay, time for me to check your arm."

"It's not morning yet..." Log says in confusion.

"No, but we are in need of beds. And because your injuries aren't too serious and you have someone here to sign you out, it looks like you get to go home early." The nurse finishes her examination and comments on the clipboard.

"... Who would be here for me?"

"I am," says a familiar voice. Kaiba steps into the room with a concentrated expression.

"... Oh... joy..." says Log with a sense of worry.

Kaiba grabs the case with Log's duel disk inside, right where he left it. "Come on."

-

A short while later, Log is lead out into the hall by Kaiba. Marik walks behind them, looking at the card in his hand.

"Can you tell me something?" asks Marik.

Log looks back.

"Why did Ishizu give this to me and one to Seto?"

Log shrugs, "I don't really know. She wanted them and I didn't really mind her taking them. Where are the other two?"

"She took them with her."

They soon get to the main lobby, where Kaiba and Log are to sign the final papers. Kaiba hands the case to Marik suddenly.

A figure suddenly walks into the lobby. "Uh... Kaiba?" says Marik

"What, Marik?"

"... Your friend's back."

Kaiba looks up and is a bit surprised to see Vegeta walking through the lobby towards them. Log looks up after signing his name and is more surprised than Kaiba.

"Damn freak got away..." mutters Vegeta as he comes face to face with Kaiba.

"Why did you come here?"

"The shrimp told me you were coming here," replies Vegeta, referring to Mokuba. "With Cell more interested with you, my chances were better here."

"Whoa..." says Log. "They work now outside of the game."

Vegeta gives him a look. Then turns to head outside, away from studying eyes. The other three head out as well.

One of Kaiba's men stands waiting at the door, and takes the case from Marik as he passes.

"Where are we going now?" asks Log.

"KaibaCorp," replies Seto. "I want get this holo-virus situation over with, before my company is turned completely upside down."

An ambulance can be heard approaching the hospital.

"I'll help... but I need to get some things at my dorm at the university."

"Like?" Kaiba turns to face him.

"Stuff I thought you wanted." Log sighs, "Look, I still say that I didn't do anything to have this happen. I don't know how it could have. But since what I did is somehow related... might as well not keep you away from it."

Kaiba doesn't reply for a moment. "Wise choice." The driver opens the door, "Get in."

An ambulance speeds by them as it heads to the emergency entrance.

"Who's all joining you, sir?" asks the driver.

Kaiba looks at Marik. "I have my own transportation to use."

A police car suddenly stops along side the limo. A back door opens. "Marik!" says Yugi as he steps out.

"G'evening, Yugi."

"Uh... it's technically morning, isn't it?" comments Joey as he comes out.

"Why are you two in the back of a police car?" asks Kaiba.

"Well, uh..." starts Yugi.

"Where's my sister, Yugi?" asks Marik.

Yugi and Joey's faces sadden, and they slowly turn their eyes towards the ambulance that went by a moment ago. The others look that way in response. A couple medics unload a patient from the back of the ambulance and start to take her inside.

"No..." whispers Marik. He suddenly bolts off towards the emergency doors, tears in his eyes.

"What happened?" asks Kaiba.

"Frieza and Cooler," replies Joey. The police car pulls away, already had questioned the two teens. "Those two caused some serious damage at the downtown mall, and... well..."

"She got caught in the mess," finishes Yugi with a sad voice.

"Why didn't you two beat them?" questions Vegeta.

"We did beat them," replies Joey. "But their idea of a reward must be a cultural difference. Goku and Piccolo kicked their butts and this is sportsmanship those two give!"

"Goku?" repeats Vegeta.

"Yup," says a familiar voice. Vegeta turns around. "Hi, Vegeta," says Goku.

Vegeta growls quietly. Piccolo stands beside Goku with his arms cross.

"Two more makes four," says Kaiba. "Except Marik's is still a card."

"We better go in and stay with Marik," suggest Yugi.

"We'll head back to KaibaCorp for now," says Kaiba, referring to Log and himself. "Come to the building tomorrow morning for a briefing on this."

Yugi and Joey nod, then head for the same doors Marik and Ishizu went through.

Log enters the car.

Vegeta shakes his head, "I'll fly instead."

"Fine with me. Suit yourself" Kaiba gets into the limo without turning his head towards Vegeta.

The limo pulls away, and Vegeta follows it in the air just above and behind.

Frieza and Cooler land on a roof top in a residential area. Cell stands there, waiting for them.

"What's wrong with you?" asks Cooler.

"... I'm in need of repairs," he replies. "How did your evening go?"

"We've lost to Yugi Moto and Joey Wheeler," replies Frieza, "But we left them something to remember us."

"Won against Mokuba, lost to Seto," says Cell. "But I got some useful information."

"As did we. Unfortunately, both have Goku and Piccolo cards."

"Hmm... And Kaiba had Vegeta. They must have gotten them from Log."

"Actually, it was some woman," replies Cooler. "She watched our duel with the two."

"And, she was wearing this." Frieza shows Cell the Millennium Necklace in his hand.

"What is that?"

"Not entirely sure. But it has relevance to an occurrence tonight."

Cell fades out slightly. "I need a new generator, immediately."

"You're too damage," says Cooler. "Find someplace for us to meet, while we get a couple dozen spare holo-generators."

Cell nods. "Let's do that."

"Right," replies Frieza, giving Cell the Millennium Necklace. All three take off, Cell in a different direction.

-

On the ground, Yami Bakura watches the three fly through the sky. His Millennium Ring pointing directly at one of them. "What an interesting twist of events..."

Ishizu's unconscious body lies on a hospital bed, bandaged up and with a heartbeat monitor hooked up. Marik sits beside her bed, with his head bowed. Behind him, Yugi and Joey stand to help comfort their friend. Piccolo is on the other side of the room, mediating, now with his cape and turban. Goku stares down at Ishizu's body from the other side of the bed, no one knows what he's thinking.

"You going to be okay?" asks Yugi to Marik.

"Yeah... I will be."

"Sorry that we couldn't help her in time," says Goku.

"I'm sure you all did everything you could…"

Yugi sighs…

-Something's not right with this,- says Yami's consciousness.

-What do you mean?- asks Yugi back.

-Ishizu hurried to give us these four DragonBall cards. She made sure herself that Joey and us each got one... And she stayed.-

-Wait. She knew that we would need these cards to win!-

-Either that or she knew we will need them still yet. But that still shows something strange... She must have known that this would happen to her.-

-But why would she endanger herself!- asks Yugi in a mental-gasp.

-... Maybe, in her view, it was the only way. And if that is true... this DragonBall thing is going to get much worse...-

"You okay yourself, Yugi?" asks Joey.

"Uh? Yeah, I'm fine."

"You kinda zoned out on us."

Yugi chuckles. -Should we tell Marik our theory?- he thinks

-No, it's likely too soon,- replies Yami's consciousness.

"Pharaoh..." says Marik.

"Yeah?"

Marik hands him the card, "I think you should have this?"

"Uh? No, I think Ishizu had a plan with who to give these to. And she wanted you to have one too, right?"

Marik pauses for a second, then nods.

"So, I see no reason for you to give it to me. Your sister must have said that she wanted you to have it."

Marik nods again, "Yes, she did."

"Who is it?" asks Goku suddenly. Marik hands Goku the card. Goku smiles widely, "It's Gohan!"

Piccolo's eyes open up.

"Can you bring him out?" asks Goku to Marik.

"Uh... I don't have a duel disk with me."

"And my last holo-generator is low on power," adds Yugi.

Goku looks at Joey. Joey blinks, "What? ... Okay, I'll give you my last one. But I'm going to me a new duel disk after this."

"I think Kaiba maybe able to hook us up with some better ones," smiles Yugi.

"Yeah, but never for free..." Joey is handed the card and he places it on his duel disk. The generator flies off and forms an image around itself.

"Uh..." The adult-sized hologram turns to look at everyone in the room, "Dad?"

"Gohan!"

"HUSH!" yells Joey. "It's barely morning, and is still after hours!" he whispers. He hands Marik back the Gohan card.

Gohan looks around, "What am I doing here?"

"I guess you're with me," says Marik.

"Oh. Then, hi. I'm Gohan."

"Marik," he replies, still sadden.

"What happened to her?" Gohan asks.

"Cooler and Frieza did this to her..." replies Goku. "Piccolo and I couldn't help her in time."

"Oh..." Gohan's expression saddens to, "She going to be okay?"

"She had a severe concussion," replies Yugi. "But she'll make it through, I know it!"

Gohan looks around the room. "Piccolo!"

Piccolo grins slightly, but doesn't reply with words. He then closes his eyes and goes back to meditating.

"I thought Gohan was shorter..." says Joey.

"Well, that's a different version of me," replies Gohan. "I don't remember much about anything that happened before this."

"None of us do," replies Piccolo. "It's because we just came online. So all we know is what we are programmed to know."

Shadows lurk around a dark room with numerous shelves. Computer monitors show the KC symbol of KaibaCorp as their screensaver plays.

"Found some over here," says Frieza's voice.

Cooler comes over to his brother, who stands at a set of shelves and cases. Frieza shows Cooler the contents of one of the cases.

"That's a dozen generators in one case," comments Cooler.

"All still in their factory seals..." grins Frieza. "We should take as many as we can."

"And a couple chargers for them." Cooler looks through the other cases, looking mostly for a couple charge cords or something, but pulls generator ones to the floor.

Kaiba exits his limousine along the main street, while a flat-bed tow truck picks up the wreck that Cell created near the front doors. He looks up at his tall building, which now has the very noticeable hole. Vegeta lands just behind him, as Log steps out of the limo, trying not to hurt his arm further.

"So, what now?" asks Vegeta.

"Battle plan."

Vegeta chuckles.

"What?"

"I agree. I want a good fight. I want to be the one to take down Cell, Frieza, and Cooler."

Kaiba blinks. Log is interested in the hologram's characteristics. "Why do you want to take them down?" asks Kaiba a bit intrigued.

"Hmph!" Vegeta's expression turns serious, "I am the Prince of all Saiyans. And yet, Kakarot is the greater victor. This isn't logically at all. I should be the strongest. I want to show Goku and the rest of them that I am the better fighter."

Kaiba pauses for a second, Vegeta's words sound all too familiar. It is the same as him and Yugi…

Vegeta suddenly looks up into the sky at the building. Kaiba and Log do the same. Coming through the hole are two figures.

"Frieza and Cooler..." growls Vegeta.

"They're stealing my property!" yells Kaiba in anger.

Frieza and Cooler hear the voices and look down at them. "Whoops... Busted," jokes Frieza.

"We better go before we get in trouble," laughs Cooler. Both fly off.

Vegeta growls loudly, creating a gust of wind around himself.

"Can you attack them without me?" questions Kaiba to Vegeta.

Vegeta looks at him. "I don't need any help. I can take them both on!"

"Then go! Get my technology back from them!"

Vegeta nods then takes off in a burst of energy.

"... He actually serious about what he said," says Log in surprise. "I don't even think such an AI program is achievable yet."

Kaiba glances back at him, then walks towards the doors, "Come on," he sighs. A goon gets the case with the duel disk inside.

-

Frieza and Cooler chuckle as they speed off above Domino City. They look back, seeing Vegeta catching up to them.

"Have you fought yet?" asks Cooler.

"No, I haven't. Not even in as a monster in a duel," smiles Frieza.

"Then, I think it's almost time to do some fight training. Don't you agree?"

"Oh, yes... Once we drop these off somewhere for now, we can use the practice dummy behind us."

Vegeta growls in anger as he stares at the brothers. "I've got you both now..."
