"Will all finalists report downstairs? Kaiba Craft 3 is about to make it's descent on Kaiba Corp. Island." The intercom says.
I get up from my bed and start getting ready. I barely slept last night with everything that happened. Too many questions went through my head. Because I mean, how did Bakura get onto the blimp and end up dueling Marik? Did he sneak on board after that duel with Yugi? It's probably so.
I'm immediately snapped out of my thoughts when the blimp shakes. I fall right off my bed and onto the floor. What happened? I put on my black shirt, shoes, and Duel Disk on and then walk over to Yugi's room as I finish putting up my hair. "Yugi? You there?" I say through the door.
"Yeah, give me a second." He says.
He then opens the door, "Hey Sabrina. Did you feel that shaking?" he says.
"Yeah, that's why I came over here." I say.
The rest of the gang soon comes out into the hallway, "Did the shaking wake you guys up?" Tea asks.
"I was already awake." I say.
"Man and I was enjoying my sleep!" Joey says, "I'm going to give Kaiba a piece of my mind! Stupid jerk, trying to ruin my sleep time…" he mutters.
The rest of us shrug and then follow Joey into the elevator. We take it to the floor of the Command Center. "Should we knock?" Tea says as we reach the door.
"Heck with knocking! I'll bust that door down!" Joey says as he opens it. Kaiba, Mokuba, and a few employees are already there. "Hey! What's da matter! Some of us like to sleep around here!" Joey yells.
The blimp then turns to the left, "Sir, the autopilot still isn't working. Nothing is commanding." Roland says.
"Then make it command!" Kaiba orders.
"It won't."
"I pay you good money! And unless you want to flush that money down the toilet, then I suggest you get us back on course. Do whatever it takes to get us on Kaiba Corp. Island!"
I look ahead and notice an island not too far away. It's covered in rubble and has a huge tower right in the center. "Is that the final dueling site?" Yugi asks.
"It is. I built it out of the ruins of my stepfather's sad excuse for a company." Kaiba says.
"Yeah! Kaiba Corp. wasn't always a gaming company. It used to be run by our stepfather, who used it to produce military weapons." Mokuba says, "But since Seto took over, all that changed. That island used to be their headquarters, but then Seto took down all the factories and built that tower."
"That's enough Mokuba!" Kaiba demands. I guess the subject of their stepfather is pretty sensitive. But that doesn't really surprise me.
"I got it! Someone is controlling the craft from a different location." Roland says. The blimp then falls rapidly near the ocean, making me think we're going to crash. We hit the surface of the ocean, which makes me fall over on my stomach. Ouch. The blimp then gains altitude again.
"Is everyone alright?" Roland asks.
"I think so." I say as I get to my feet.
The monitor above the controls then goes fuzzy. What now? "Greetings duelists." A boy with greenish hair and blue eyes then appears on the screen, "Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with your television. I'm the one who's in control now."
"Identify yourself!" Kaiba demands.
"Always barking orders aren't you? I've been watching you Seto, and I think it's my turn to take over. You'll also have to put an end on your little tournament."
"Look kid, what's your name?"
"There you go again. But fine, my name is Noah. And you and I go back quite a long way Seto. And my game has only just begun, so enjoy the ride." The screen goes blank again. I wonder what he meant by that.
A huge wave then appears on the water below us. Then a fortress lifts itself out of the water. Geez, who is this kid? "It seems that fortress is using a tractor beam to pull us in." Roland says. A hatch on the fortress opens and the blimp starts to land. The blimp then lands in a large, dark chamber.
The monitor then lights up again, "Thanks for waiting. But now is the time for you to exit the blimp." Noah says.
"And what if we don't?" Kaiba says.
"I have ways to deal with that."
Guns then appear out of the chamber walls. Okay, since when does a kid of his age have the time and money to get this stuff? Kaiba then goes to the door, "You geeks stay here." He says.
"Kaiba don't!" Yugi says.
"This is my tournament. I'm not going to let some toddler ruin this for me."
The guns start firing at the blimp, but soon stop."No Seto. Let's try this again. All of you are coming." Noah says.
So Yugi, Kaiba, Mokuba, Joey, Duke, Tristan, Serenity, Tea, and I exit the blimp. A set of doors then open ahead of us, "Make your way over here so we can continue this." Noah says. He's not visible, but his voice is heard all around us.
"Mister Kaiba, wait!" Roland calls.
Noah fires the guns at him, but misses, "You'll stay right there. This is for duelists only."
But Tristan, Serenity, Duke, and Tea aren't really duelists. Noah needs to get his facts right. All of us walk through the door and enter a hallway. It's long and has minimal light. We finally reach the end of it, where another door opens.
The room we enter is pitch-black and I can't tell if anyone is here. "Anyone here?" Tea calls.
A blinding white light then appears in front of us and I can hear laughing. "Who's there? Show yourselves!" Kaiba demands.
The figures are visible now. "No way!" Kaiba says. It's the Big Five! The jerks that tried to kill all of us in a computer game.
"Who are these guys?" Tristan asks.
"They're the Big Five. They used to work for Kaiba Corp, but lost that when they turned on us. Their names are Gansly, Crump, Johnson, Nexbitt, and Lector." Mokuba informs.
"You should have known we'd be back Seto Kaiba." Gansly says.
"Yeah, but, I thought we destroyed them back in the Virtual World." Yugi says.
"We were actually just trapped there." Crump says.
"We wandered cyberspace for ages."
"But then Noah hacked into the Kaiba Corp system."
"We all had a common enemy, so we teamed up."
"Enough! I defeated you once, and I'll do it again!" Kaiba says.
"Yes, but we've devised a new plan. We're going to set up our own Duel Monsters tournament. But this time, it's virtual. And all of you will participate. We've wandered this place so long that we've lost our bodies, but once we duel you and win, we'll be free to take your bodies. Now it's time to visit our arena!"
The blinding light comes back and then when I have the chance to open my eyes, we're surrounded by trees. Oh great, we're here again. "Everyone okay?" Yugi asks.
"Yeah. What is this a jungle?" I say.
"I think so. You sure this is virtual?" Tea asks.
"Of course it is you geeks. Weren't you paying attention?" Kaiba says.
A loud thumping rumbles the ground. A dinosaur then appears by us, "Get out of the way!" Tea yells.
Kaiba just stands there. The dinosaur goes to claw him, but goes right through him. "Just as I thought. Noah's virtual world is a cheap copy of mine." Kaiba says smirking.
I look around to see nothing around us. I hear footsteps and look to see Kaiba standing there. Only, he's wearing his old outfit, "Let me guess. That's also a cheap copy made by Noah?" I say.
"No doubt. He even copied my idea of cloning myself in here." Kaiba says.
"Why would you clone yourself?" Tea asks.
"To have someone to duel. And who better than me?"
The Total Defense Shogun then appears on the other side of the Clone Kaiba. "We're going to give you a little demonstration of the new rules of this place." I hear Gansly say.
"What kind of rules?" I ask.
"Just shut up and listen. We'll be using the Deck Master system, meaning each duelist chooses a Deck Master. For our Clone Kaiba, he gets Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Total Defense Shogun plays himself. Now watch the demonstration."
The Clone Kaiba draws from his Duel Disk, "I play Lord of Dragon in attack mode! Then I activate the Flute of Summoning Dragon to summon two of my Blue-Eyes White Dragons! Then I move my Deck Master onto the field and use Polymerization to fuse all three to summon Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!" he says.
"And the ability of your Deck Master allows you to attack the turn you summon it."
"Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, attack his Deck Master!"
"But Total Defense Shogun has the ability to redirect the attack right back; destroying Kaiba's Deck Master. If your Deck Master is destroyed, then you automatically lose, regardless of the amount of Life Points you have."
"Enough! Regardless the rules, I'll send you five back where you came from!" Kaiba yells.
The virtual jungle disappears and we're back in the dark room. "But to make this equal, we'll duel against every one of you." Crump adds.
"Now the time has come to visit our virtual arena." Gansly says.
"You creeps are going down!" Joey says. A hole appears below Joey's feet and he falls into it. It disappears a second later.
"In order for our plan to work, we'll have to separate you." Crump says.
Tea is taken next, then Serenity, then Duke and Tristan. Kaiba and Mokuba are taken next. "Where'd they go?" I ask Yugi.
"You'll soon find out." Gansly says.
A hole appears below me, before I can try and get away though, I fall into it.
Okay, I started Season 3! And I got my laptop fixed so hopefully there won't be too many more delays. I hope to start the duels soon. And sorry if I suck at the Yami/Ari scenes since I've never known what being in love is like, but I'll try to work on them and make them longer/better.
