MythCreatorWriter: I do have something TRULY amazing for you! I'm so excited about it, I can barely concentrate on writing a full fledge reply! And thank you! I didn't think to put in my own sort of thing till I started to write it, and my friend gave me a bit of inspiration as she always does. Somehow I knew you would like that part where Mokuba was saying that everyone misjudges him. I don't know, I kind of thought of you after I wrote it! Awww, and thank you so much! You wrote me such a kind and wonderful chapter! I hope you enjoy this chapter because man oh man, IS IT EPIC!

WhiteAsukalover: OR WILL HE?! We'll soon find out! Thanks for the review!

AmePiper: Hey babe the piggy of my heart, I understand that you'll be going out of the town soon… but I just had to post this baby. It was too good of a day, the moon is at the right angle, and I believe all the stars in the universe aligned so that we could first meet(lol, I sound like some sappy boyfriend trying to write a crappy love poem;]) But I just had to! I'm sure you'll love to come home and find this anyhow, it can be like the perfect surprise!:D But anyhow, onto your reviews! First of all, really? You like how I wrote Lector? Hahaha, unless the character is super specific, I feel like all my bad guys act the same. But maybe that's just me being mean to myself, cause you wrote me two amazing and beautiful reviews that made me want to float into the sky and dance on the clouds! And about Mokuba's pride/doubt… wow. That really made me feel swell. That was actually a hard scene for me to write because… I feel like, after writing so many stories with Mokuba from all different ages and what not, as my writing matured and grew, I feel my Mokuba character has as well. And sometimes I worry that I write him too mature, or too not dedicated to his brother. But this made me feel just friggin awesome. You're just great! Thank you SO much for your review! I really enjoyed it. That thing at the end, I mention you. The whole last paragraph in my author's note goes out to you babe. Now read, enjoy, gasp, and be amazed!

Chapter 14: Divided We Fall

-S-

It was getting to the point where I was sick of it. Every last bit of Lector's lies and overly dramatic tales, I had just had it with. I had heard once that when a person who is right knows their right, they don't need to prove it. I felt that was the reason I had no desire to really tell Lector otherwise. I was sure beating him would be enough to put him in his place.

"I'm done with your meaningless speeches Lector, life is a game and if you can't win, don't play," I said, "Now let's duel." I drew one card from my deck and began my turn. I glanced at my card and already had a plan in my head to win the game. Now the only thing to do was to see if it would work. That was my favorite part of dueling. Having a plan, seeing if it'll get ruined, and if it does, still winning. Those were the duels I lived for.

"I summon Spirit Ryu in attack mode, and I'll attack Injection Fairy Lily!" I commanded. My monster opened its jaw and launched its attack towards Lector's monster.

"Have you already forgotten my Fairy Lily's special effect? By giving up 2000 life points, I'm able to boost her attack strength to 3400!" I heard Yugi protest from behind me. I could even hear his little friends worried comments. Sometimes stupid people could be amusing.

"Not so fast because I activate Spirit Ryu's special effect. By discarding two dragon cards from my hand, I'm able to boost Spirit Ryu's attack strength by 2000, making his attack 3000." I watched as my monster's attack was shot right back at me, destroying my dragon and taking 400 of my life points. I was now down to 800 life points total. Perfect.

"I don't know what kind of game you're playing Seto, but with only 800 life points left, I'm not sure if you intend to win this duel. Is the great Seto Kaiba giving up?" I chuckled.

"Not quite, now, Twin-Headed Behemoth, attack Fairy Lily now!" Lector was about to activate Fairy Lily's special ability, when he realized he couldn't.

"No! I don't have enough life points to increase her strength!" I grinned.

"Exactly." I watched with pleasure as my Twin-Headed Behemoth attacked and destroyed Lector's monster. Now his life points were down to 800 as well. I was happy about it too, that thing was getting rather annoying to deal with. I was glad to have it off the field, finally. "It's good to be the CEO."

Lector growled with annoyance. "Yeah… well, it's my move." Lector drew a card from his deck. "Because of Solemn Wishes, I gain back 500 life points as well as 350 from Life-Absorbing Machine."

"And what about Imperial Order? Willing to cough up 700 life points for that?" Lector's face looked pained with regret.

"I can't afford to lose anymore life points, and because I'm not willing to pay, the card is destroyed." It was looking to be a tough duel, but now I could tell I was about to break Lector. He was beginning to run out of good moves, while I was just getting started. It was going to be all smooth riding from here, which meant it was time to rub it in Lector's face.

"Lector, whatever made you think you'd ever be able to rule Kaiba Corp. when you can barely keep track of simple numbers in a card game?" I said with pride.

"SILENCE. I'm not done with my turn yet!" That was another good sign; an angry opponent. If the opponent has begun to lose their temper, they'll most likely begin to lose the duel. People aren't good at being able to concentrate on much of anything when they're angry, much less play Duel Monsters efficiently. I was really beginning to think I had this game in the bag now.

"I'll summon one monster face-down and use my Satellite Cannon to destroy your Twin-Headed Behemoth!" A giant beam of light came down from the sky. The cloud blew away as it approached the ground just before colliding with the monster in front of me. For a moment, all was white, and I had to cover my eyes from becoming blind. "I'm sorry if I burst your bubble Seto, but I still have a couple moves left to play."

I uncovered my face and looked down at my deck. I ignored Lector's comment and drew my card. I looked back up and the field with one card in particular to use.

"I'll activate Pot of Greed and draw two more cards," I announced, just before drawing two cards from my deck. "Then I'll summon Possessed Dark Soul and attack your face-down monster." Lector held up his hand.

"Hold on. You've just attacked my Dream Sprite, whose effect can re-direct your monster's attack to any of my other monsters on the field. And I'll choose my Satellite Cannon," Lector pointed towards the sky. "This makes your attack useless. I've become untouchable." I looked down with dismay. I was beginning to grow tire of this game.

"I'll draw and gain life points from both my trap cards, then I'll end my turn," Lector stated, "The power of my Satellite Cannon will increase, which means I'll be able to destroy you with one final blow next turn."

"I'll destroy that Satellite Cannon no matter what it takes."

"Ha! Not likely. Most monsters aren't able to attack anything at such a high altitude. I doubt there's anything in your deck that can stop it. Once you end your turn, it's over!" I heard Yugi's friend chatting from behind me. As great as it was to have an audience to witness Lector's defeat, their constant commenting on the duel made it rather hard to concentrate. I looked down at my duel disk, knowing there was only one card and one card alone that would win me this duel.

It all came down to this one moment, this very draw. I closed my eyes and placed my finger down on top of my deck. This was it... I gripped the card between my index finger and my thumb, waiting for a sign… My eyes snapped opened.

"Behold the ultimate card!" I yelled, holding up the card I had drawn in the air without even looking at it. I knew what it was. And I knew it was the monster that would defeat Lector and finally end this game. Lector stared at me and took a step closer.

"What is it? What is it?" Lector asked in a worried voice. He had reason to be worried, because now I was going to crush him like the insect he was.

"Oh, you'll see… first, I'll place one card face-down on the field in defense mode," I placed the card on my duel disk and looked to my side at my deck master, "Now I'll activate my deck master's ability. At the cost of 500 life points, Lord of Dragons allows me to summon any dragon from my hand." Lector's eyes widened. I think he knew what was coming next.

"Now I'll sacrifice both my monsters on the field to summon the Blue-Eyes White Dragon!" I flipped the card onto my duel disk and a ray of light burst onto the field; giving form to the white dragon I called my ultimate weapon. It flapped its wings and its call echoed across the sky. "Now fly up there and destroy Satellite Cannon!" I commanded. My dragon echoed its cry once more before flapping its wings and shooting up into the sky. My dragon disappeared behind the clouds over head.

"No! It can't be…"

"Oh, but it is. This duel is over, Lector. You should've known better than to challenge me," I looked up towards the sky, "Now my Blue-Eyes, finish him off with White Lightning attack!" The sky began to glow a strange sort of yellow, just before heated pieces of metal began falling from the sky. Lector's monster had been destroyed, which meant the duel was over.

Lector had fallen onto his knees. Smoke was rising from his body as he stared down at the ground in shame.

"No… I had been so close to getting out of this digital dungeon…" I ran over to Lector. Now that this duel was done, I needed information. I had a brother to save.

"Where's Mokuba??" I asked, but more demanded from Lector. Lector looked up from the ground and up towards me, even while he was kneeling on the ground and hunched over in pain.

"You'll never see your brother again. But I will be back…" Just like that, Lector had dispersed into tiny holographic pieces right in front of me. I stood frozen, staring down at the ground at where he once was. I tightened my fist and stared up at the sky. I didn't know where Mokuba was, but I was going to find him, no matter what it took.

"I'm coming, Mokuba!"

-M-

"Ha ha! Alright Nii-sama! Way to show them what's what!" I said, jumping up with glee. I stood there beaming with pride, a huge grin on my face. My brother had won, just like I knew he would. He had me frightened for a moment, but all in all, he would come through for me. "I knew you could do it!" I cheered, even though I was well aware he probably couldn't hear me.

Out of the corner of my eye, I could see Noah staring at me… devastated and confused.

"Mokuba, how can you be cheering for your brother after what he did to you? He betrayed you to take over Kaiba Corp.!" I looked over at Noah.

"I'll stand by my brother's side to the very end. He's my family, and nothing's ever going to change that." I looked back up at the screen at my brother. I had never known a moment where I was happier, or more proud. My brother had done just as I had told Noah, and he would make sure to put Noah in his place now that Lector was out of the way. It was only a matter of time before we were together again.

"What do you think your brother is thinking right now?" Noah asked. I turned my head again and stared at him. "Do you honestly believe Seto is coming to rescue you? Or do you think he's happy you're out of his hair?" I scuffed with pride and sat down.

"Nii-sama is definitely coming to get me. And once he does, you'll be sorry." Noah's grin grew and suddenly I felt uncomfortable. Like something bad was going to happen.

"Somehow I think I have something to show him that might change that." I looked at him again.

"What do you mean?" Noah turned his head back towards the television screen. I did as well. Seto was standing there, still staring at the ground, when suddenly everything went black. I stood up.

"Wait, what's going on?" I watched as Seto placed his hand on his head and cringed in pain for a second. He opened his eyes slightly and looked around. The scene around him changed and suddenly he was somewhere else. "What are you doing? Where have you sent him?"

"Oh, I haven't sent him anywhere. He's just taking a look at one memory and kept from showing him…" Noah said in a low voice. I gasped. This couldn't be true. He couldn't mean what I thought he meant. I stared back at the screen in total horror. Then I realized Seto wasn't just anywhere, he was in a dungeon. An all too familiar dungeon.

"What is going on…?" Seto said aloud, "Where am I? Duelist Kingdom?" Seto turned to his left, and the screen revealed a single cell containing one prisoner. I felt like I couldn't breathe. I got back onto my feet.

"No…" I could hear my screams so loud from the screen. I saw images of myself on the ground, keeling over in pain and holding my stomach. Seto's eyes were wide, confused, and shocked. I could see Kimo again, that demon, shoving me into the dungeon wall, kicking me and punching me until I was unable to move on my own. He wouldn't stop… he just wouldn't stop.

"PLEASE! Don't do this!" I yelled, looking back towards Noah, but keeping one eye on Seto. I could see the shock on his face, and I could feel the disappointment he felt. I felt everything again. I didn't want him to see this. I didn't want him to know. I just wanted everything to stop. But then the unimaginable happened. The scene had bits and pieces of every beating I ever endured during my stay at Duelist Kingdom, when it stopped at one. I heard Kimo's voice.

"Eat it." Kimo's voice demanded. No. Please don't. "I wasn't suggesting, I was telling you to eat it. Eat it right now." Please don't do this. Please God, no.

"No." I heard myself say in the flashback.

"Really? Then I guess we'll just have to do something about that, now won't we?" I shut my eyes and looked away. I couldn't see it anymore. I couldn't watch myself. I was disgusted with myself, I was ashamed of myself. I didn't fight, I didn't do anything. I could hear projections from the television of myself from the flashback twisting around and vomiting. It was a vile sound.

"I wonder what Seto will think of you now…" I wasn't sure how I was able to hear Noah, considering I had my hands now clutching over my ears in an attempt to keep myself from hearing anything that was going on. I also didn't want to hear or see Seto's reaction. I had failed him in so many ways. "I wonder if he would be ashamed that you were so quick to admit defeat without a fight."

I couldn't take it anymore.

"NO!" I yelled, turning around completely and leaping over to couch. I started making a run into the utter darkness of the room. Noah twisted around and called after me.

"Where do you think you're going?" I wasn't going to answer him. I didn't have anything to say to him. I just needed to get out of here. I just needed to get away from Noah. I kept running and at some point, I didn't hear anymore from my flashback. I looked up ahead and stopped when I saw my brother standing apart from me.

"Nii-sama…!" I said with total shock. My mouth became slightly ajar, but I smiled. My brother was here, to rescue me! We were finally together again. I ran towards him with joy, "Now we can get out of this place!" I exclaimed as I came near him. But just as I came close, Seto's hand was raised and smacked me across the face.

I had never felt an injury, a blow to the head, more intensely than the slap I had just received. I floated sideways a little sideways before falling onto the ground. I sat up, staring back up at my brother with wide eyes, looking for answers. His cold eyes had never seemed so unemotional in my life. He looked down at me like I was a dirty animal.

"Don't come near me, you sad excuse for a Kaiba." My lower lip quivered and my right cheek stung with pain.

"What… what are you talking about?" I choked. I felt like I was going to throw up again. This couldn't be happening. My brother's eyes were unchanging.

"You're a disgrace to the family. Never have I seen such a pathetic human being. You didn't even attempt to defend yourself against Kimo. He just kicked you around like the weakling that you are. All you did was sit there and wait for me to save you. What a disappointment," Seto said with such a cold expression, "I always have to interrupt my plans to go and save you. Well, I'm tired of it. You've been holding me back for far too long. If it weren't for you, I'd probably already be out of this place." Seto turned and began walking away.

"Nii-sama! Wait!" I called, leaning forward and wishing my brother would come back. Wishing he would turn around and tell me he didn't mean what he said. But he just kept walking, until he had disappeared into the darkness. "NII-SAMA!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. But he was gone. He had vanished from site.

Tears welled up in my eyes. I was alone. I was all alone, left to fall into a hole of shame and accept my brother's hate for me. I felt all hope had become lost at this point. Without my brother, there was no hope. I needed my brother to overcome the obstacles, and now I no longer felt any desire to go on. It was all over.

A/N: SO WHAT DID YOU GUYS THINK?!?!?! Pretty epic, huh? I don't know about you, but I practically couldn't sleep the night I wrote this. I was just so excited and so happy. This is the scene, the moment, the part I've been itching to write from the very beginning of this story! (besides the re-write of episode 116, which btw, I have an awesome little twist to add into that scene just like I did with this scene that you just read!) So only awesomeness from here on out! I can barely contain myself! I hope you enjoyed this chapter as much as I enjoyed writing it!(Although that would be pretty hard to match up to consider HOW much I love this chapter!) I bet you guys liked the slightly longer chapter, am I right? For the win!

Now if you wish, you can move on and review, but I must give my regards to someone special. You see, many months ago, when I was first contemplating writing this story, I consulted with my readers of Captivity and asked their opinion on what I should do. It was AmePiper's brilliant idea to put this scene in, the moment where Seto discovers what happened to Mokuba. And I find it to be such a great scene that she should be recognized for it! I mean, seriously, I didn't even think of relating the theme of the last story into this until she gave me the idea. I love her a lot for giving it to me, because it has brought me great joy which is rare to find in this day and age. So lots of love should go to AmePiper for it! She's fantastic!
