Light of Remorse

Written by: Self-Proclaimed KingofDDR

Summary: What if The Light of Destruction was sent back into the past, instead of being destroyed? What if it wanted to repent? And what if it helped the least likely person in the world? Takes place from Battle City and beyond. Joey/Mai/Ishizu. MIGHT be a bit of Kaiba bashing later.

Last time, on Light of Remorse...

"I must be going now. Farewell..."

'Humph. That entire duel was nothing more than a waste of time,' Marik thought, watching as Sartorius walked away. 'I may not have any knowledge of these so-called Scared Beast monsters, but nothingcan stand up to the power of a God Card. Espically the Winged Dragon of Ra that I possess! Feh...enough of this foolishness. It's time for me to finally put my plan into motion!'

Marik sent a thought wave to his waiting Rare Hunters. 'Okay, my Rare Hunters. Now that that pointless duel has been completed, it's time for you to finally capture those foolish friends of Yugi!'

But nothing happened.

'...What are you waiting for, an invitation?! Capture those fools NOW!' Marik screamed within his mind.

Nothing happened still.

'What is happening?! Why aren't the Rare Hunters responding to my will?!' Marik snarled in his mind.

Meanwhile, in a dark alley...

Sartorius (AKA: The Light of Destruction) was standing over a bunch of bodies, all decked within black robes. They weren't dead though, just knocked out.

"Humph. Let that be a lesson to you. Never work for a madman. I should know, since I once was one," LOD smirked. "Sorry, Marik, but you will not do anything to harm Joey or his friends until the Battle City finals."

His smirk grew wider.

"Finals which I FULLY intend to be a part of..."

While Marik was swearing that his incompent hunters would face a fate worse than death, Tea's Cell Phone began to ring.

"Hm...oh, my Cell Phone's going off," Tea said, answering it. "Hello?"

"Tea, is that you?" The Deep Voice of Yami Yugi said on the other end.

"Oh, Yugi! Yeah, it's me," Tea said. "How are you doing? Where are you?"

Tea could hear a sigh of relief from Yami. "I'm fine. I'm just glad that you are as well. Is anyone with you?"

"Yeah, Joey is with me. Tristan went to pick up Joey's sister, and your grandpa went to the hospital with Bakura. He wasn't looking too good when we found him..." Tea said.

Yami frowned. "You can tell me about that later. We need to get together as soon as we can. Take Joey, and meet us at the middle of the city. And before you ask, Kaiba is with me. I'll explain everything as soon as we see each other."

"Okay..." Tea said as she hung up the phone.

"So, was dat really Yuge? What did he say?" Joey asked at the troubled look on Tea's face.

"Yeah, that was Yugi. ...He said he wants us all to meet in the middle of the city. He sounded...worried a little," Tea replied. "Plus, he's with Kaiba."

Joey made a face at the last line. "Oh, joy. Seeing Moneybags is about as fun as getting ya teeth pulled out!" He sighed. "But I guess if Yuge's worried about somethin', den we'd betta do as he says."

"Okay, let's go!" Tea said as they rushed towards the middle of the city, ignoring Marik, who was STILL trying to contact his Rare Hunters.

On the other side of the city...

Yami sighed in relief as he hung up the phone.

'Well, Yugi, it seems that our friends are okay,' Yami thought in his mind.

'Yeah! What a relief!' Yugi said, wiping the sweat off of his forehead. 'Now all we gotta do is meet with them in the middle of the city, and they'll be safe...'

Yami grunted in agreement as he exited the building that he was in. He walked up to Seto Kaiba, wh was leaning against a piller with his arms crossed.

"It seems that my friends are okay...for now. I was able to contact Tea, and now we are to meet them within the middle of the city," Yami informed Kaiba.

"Hm...very well. But remember, Yugi. After we find your friends, you and I will have our long awaited showdown. And when all is said and done, your God Card will be mine!" Kaiba chuckled.

"...We'll see," Yugi replied. But before the two could be on their way, a beeping sound came from Kaiba's white trench coat. The powerful (yet arrogant) duelist pushed a button on it.

"What is it, Mokuba?" Kaiba inquired.

"We have a problem. Joey's duel disk isn't transmitting a signal to the satellite network!" Mokuba replied.

"Hm...that is a cause for concern. But don't worry about that for now. We have confirmed that they are safe, and are about to meet them in the middle of the city. I want you to make your way there as well, okay?" Kaiba said.

"Okay, bro! I'll meet you there!" Mokuba said, cutting off the signal. "Heh, I guess nothing can beat technology!"

"Care to put that theroy to the test, little brat?" A voice said from behind the younger Kaiba brother.

Mokuba whirled around to see a bunch of men in dark cloaks leering down at him from a higher building.

"Who the heck are you creeps?!" Mokuba shouted.

The creeps didn't reply. They just sneered down at the scared child...

"Are we close to the meeting site, yet?" Joey asked.

"Yeah, just a few feet away!" Tea replied, running along with Joey.

"We're almost there," Kaiba said, walking along side Yami.

"Good," Yami said, keeping a lookout for Tea and Joey.

It wasn't too long before they caught sight of each other.

"Tea! Joey!" Yami said, rushing to meet up with them.

"YUGI!" The two friends shouted, rushing to get to the King of Games.

Kaiba just rolled his eyes at the display. But he couldn't help but notice that something...or rather someone...was missing...

The three friends were almost together. But at the last second, a figure jumped in the middle of them, startling everyone.

"It's a Rare Hunter!" Kaiba exclaimed.

"So, dis is one of da creeps dat have been chasing Yuge throughout dis whole ding?!" Joey shouted, as he glared at the laughing man.

"Ugh, this guy's almost as creepy as that Sartorius person!" Tea said, freaked.

"Hm? Sartorius?" Yami asked, looking at Joey.

"I'll explain later, Yuge," Joey replied.

"Heh Heh Heh Heh...Well, seems that the other batch of Rare Hunters have failed in their mission!" The robed man laughed. "No matter. We still have something that you want. Take a look above you, all of you! You in particular, Seto Kaiba."

The four did so, and saw that Mokuba was hanging from a rope hooked to a helicopter high in the sky!

"Mokuba!" Kaiba shouted.

"Oh no, Mokuba!" Tea shouted as well.

"Let him go, ya cape wearing freaks!" Joey snarled.

"Release him at once!" Yami growled.

"Seto! Please, help me Seto! Get me down!" Mokuba shouted as he dangled.

"You snake...! Give me back my brother, or face my wrath!" Kaiba shouted, glaring death at the Rare Hunter.

"Your empty threats won't work on us, Seto Kaiba. You might as well kiss your brother good bye!" The Rare Hunter, Lumis, chuckled.

But before anything else could happen, a female figure was seen jumping up towards the rope. She passed through it quickly, and in the next second, the rope snapped in two, bringing Mokuba falling towards the ground!

"WHAT?!" Lumis shouted in disbelief.

"Mokuba!!" The four duelists shouted as they watch helplessly as Mokuba fell towards the ground.

But another Female Figure quickly caught the young boy, and they both landed safely onto the ground.

"That...that was close," Mokuba said, looking up at his saviours, only to widen his eyes as he saw that both women looked the same! They could have passed off as twins! "Uh...thanks, miss..."

The two women smiled at him. "You may call us...Sarina, young one."

Okay, chapter still wasn't as long as I liked, but at least it came out much quicker this time. Anyway, the next chapter will feature Sarina, the sister of Sartorius, and her clone versus Lumis and Umbra in a tag team duel. And I'll write out the whole duel in that one chapter. Catch you next continue!
