Chapter 2: terrible premonitions
The morning air was brisk as Danny and Yugi met in the clearing placing their flowers on the plaque. With that done they placed their lunches in the cooler by the tool shed.
"Hey Danny I need to ask you something." Yugi said roping off a section of the clearing for the chairs and podium.
"Sure what's up?" Danny asked clearing away old cigarette buds from the picnic table.
"Last night I had this strange dream about two figures that I couldn't truly see but I felt that I knew them. They that were standing in this clearing looking right me." Yugi said just as the truck with the chairs and podium pulled up.
"Mr. Fenton, I need you to sign for these." the driver shouted out towards Danny.
"All right!" replied Danny tacking the clipboard and pen signing the form that was handed to him. Now the trouble was getting the chairs and podium off the truck. There was only two of them actually doing the work required as they needed more help.
"Hey Danny…. Yugi…. Is it too late to volunteer for set up?" said two voices from behind them causing Danny to jump and Yugi to laugh. Behind him stood two girls one was a pale Caucasian with large violet colored eyes and raven black hair put up in a pony-tail. The other girl had a very light tan, hazel brown eyes, and short brown hair.
"Hi Tea and no it's not too late. Who is your friend?" asked Yugi.
"I'm Samantha Manson but I prefer Sam. Danny you didn't answer my question." Sam replied pouting at her close friend.
"Oh….. Um... sure there's still a lot to do. We could definitely use the help." Danny stated blushing lightly. He has had a crush on Sam since seventh grade. "Any way Yugi, you were saying there were two figures staring at you?" Danny asked as he pulled a stack of chairs off the truck and handed it to Sam who walked off.
"Yeah….. The thing is even though I couldn't make out what they looked like. I felt as if I knew them somehow. I actually could make out there eyes. One had crimson eyes with cat-like pupils and pitch black corneas." Yugi stated as he handed Tea a stack of chairs. Tea grabbed one from Yugi while Danny got himself a stack. They began to set the chairs up in the designated spots.
"Wow that sounds ... Just wrong and kind of creepy. What about the other persons set of eyes?" Danny asked while setting out the chairs and moving on to the others.
"Well the other set were luminescent green with the same black corneas as the other person. But the weird thing was they looked glad to see someone. I couldn't tell who." Yugi replied as he set up the podium just as the chopper with the statue arrived along with their boss Seto Kaiba. Yugi happened to know Seto Kaiba since High School as since he wasn't truly a close friend but he got to know the young billion heir when Seto was trying to promote his duel system for Maximillian Pegusus Duel Monster game. Yugi agreed to be a test subject as he participated in several Duel Monster games earning the title of King of Games. Seto asked Yugi one day if he would like a more permanent job for Seto's company. Yugi accepted with one stipulation, that his close friend Danny could get one as well. Surprisingly Seto agreed.
"Weird. To tell you the truth Yugi but lately I have been having the same odd dream." Danny stated honestly. The two teens looked at each other as they had a strange feeling that their dream meant something but couldn't figure out what. The chopper carrying Seto touch down as Seto climbed out along with his two brothers Mokuba and Noah.
"Yugi... Danny, how are the preparations coming along?" Seto asked with his no nonsense attitude.
"They're going great sir. Is there something you need us to do?" Danny asked taking the notes over to the case that Mokuba was carrying with him.
"Yes, I'm placing you both on security duty until we get back to Kaiba Corp." Seto stated. Even though he could hide his anxiety from a lot of people, he couldn't hide it from Danny who was as observant as a hawk. Mokuba came up with Noah in tow handing the case over to Danny who opened it to find five Fenton phones, two Fenton blasters, two Fenton wrist rays, holsters for the objects and a portable Fenton shield. Danny looked at Seto then over to Yugi then back to the gear but didn't question it.
'I guess that Seto has his reasons for getting some of my parent's inventions to be used for security. But still this is a little much even for someone like Seto. Why do I have a bad feeling about this?' Danny thought to himself as he handed a wrist ray, blaster, holster, and phone over to Yugi. Danny then gave Seto, Mokuba, and Noah the other three phones. Danny then put on the wrist ray, phone, and blaster. Thankfully Danny had taught Yugi how to use the weapons just in case seeing how he knew the ins and outs of how the weapons work. Danny hoped that they wouldn't have to use it.
"Um, Seto….. Where are John and Hook?" Yugi asked looking over his notes. He had noticed that the two morning shift guards were nowhere in sight.
"They never clocked in this morning." Noah simply stated as he clinging to Mokuba as he was wearing a pair of leg bracers and standing up on a pair of crutches. Seto was able to save his brothers from their father. Gozabura Kaiba whom had gone completely nuts and tried to kill his three children. Seto called 911 and the police came putting Gozabura into a mental hospital. He has been there since giving Seto full control over the Kaiba Corp. Noah had lost the mobility of his legs after being hit by a car and for a short while lost his mind inside of a computer when he was kidnapped and held for ransom. Seto paid of course but those memories still lingered within Noah, being near his brothers Seto and Mokuba, and close friends to Danny and Yugi made them bearable.
"That's not like them." Danny stated as they finished set up. The cameras came rolling up from various news networks and station. They had set up their equipment as Seto stood up at the podium with Mokuba. Yugi was to his left while Noah and Danny were to his right. Behind Seto stood a very large statue that was covered by a large cloth with a cord tied around it. People began to flock in and take their seats. Once the park was filled Seto tapped softly on the microphone grabbing everyone's attention.
"Good morning ladies, gentlemen, and people of the press. Thank you for coming out to see the new addition to this memorial site in honor of Officer Jason Smith of Domino City and Sheriff Carter Slade of Amity Park." Seto stated. "It has been fifty years since both men lost their lives violently to crime. But we are here to recognize the people that they used to be. With that I revile the statue that is to commemorate their legacy." added Seto as he reached up yanking the cord that held the sheet up. The cover dropped to the ground reviling a 10 foot tall marble statue of both John Smith and Carter Slade standing side by side. In back of them where two back guns ready to bring the hammer of justice down on those who broke the law. A large applause filled the area. "Let us remember that good comes in all shapes and sizes. Even though evil try as they might, good will overcome and make sure that evil pays for the innocent blood that has been spilled." Both Yugi and Danny shuttered at Seto's words. They both felt that they had heard those same words spoke once before. But who said those words and why? Both Danny and Yugi noticed two men standing in the far back of the sight as their eyes meet with the young teens. Yugi and Danny felt as if they knew the two men as they whispered to each other. Goosebumps crossed their skin despite it being a warm summer day.
'I have a bad feeling about this.' both Yugi and Danny thought to themselves.
After the unveiling was over and done with another ground crew came to clean up the sight. Danny, Yugi, Seto, Mokuba, and Noah all boarded the chopper and heading back to the Kaiba Corp's main office.
"Hey, Seto…. are you alright?" Danny asked giving Seto a start because nine times out of the ten Danny was very quiet. Even if you put a bell around his neck you still wouldn't hear him until he tapped you on the shoulder scaring the crap out of you. Yugi tried that but it didn't work out to well.
"Not really. But I will talk about it in my office. There are a few things that I need to bring to your attention." Seto replied with a soft sigh while looking out the window. Both Danny and Yugi looked at Seto wondering what could be troubling the young billionaire. They have never seen Seto like this before. After about twenty minutes the chopper finally landed on top of the roof of the Kaiba Corp building. Both Yugi and Danny followed the three Kaiba brother's to Seto's office.
"Mokuba can you please take Noah and see how things are going with the new duel disk?" Seto asked.
"Sure thing big brother." replied Mokuba as both he and Noah left allowing the three older teens to talk. Mokuba had closed the door behind him when he and his younger brother left the room.
"Seto what in the world is going on?" Yugi asked looking at Seto. He hoped that Seto wouldn't lie or avoid the question like he usually does. Seto let out a rather soft sigh as he sat down behind his desk.
"What I am about to tell you must not be repeated as no one not my little brothers can know about this. I don't want them to worry or be concerned." Seto stated. Both Yugi and Danny nodded their heads understanding Seto's cause for concern as they would keep this secret on the low key. "Early this week I got a fax saying that if I didn't stop working on the new duel disk, both Mokuba and Noah would die within the next month. Their blood would be on my hands. I had at first written it off as a sick and twisted joke. I went back to work thinking nothing more about it. But the threat is real because there have been many failed attempts to kill both of them numerous times. I'm worried that someone within the company is doing this." Seto stated looking between the only two he could truly trust. Danny was beyond ticked he was extreamly pissed.
'Who would try to harm the Kaiba brothers? Does this have to do with those strange people watching us carefully during the unveiling?' Danny thought to himself. Yugi on the other hand was worried for the safety of the brothers especially with what Gozabura trying to do. Noah had been held for ransomed once before and the Pegasus' incident where Noah was trapped mentally within a computer. This new information did not set well with the two teens, not one bit.
"I hate to ask this but I have important business to attend to overseas as I need for someone to keep an eye over Mokuba and Noah. You two are about the only people that I can trust." stated Seto.
"Of course we won't mind keeping a watchful eye over Mokuba and Noah." stated Danny.
"Seto, do you think it is possible that I can see this fax if you still have it?" asked Yugi. Seto nodded his head as he pulled out a drawer in his desk pulling out the fax. He handed the piece of paper to Yugi who took it and read over the letter. Danny stood beside him reading over Yugi's shoulder. Both teens couldn't believe the graphic nature of the letter as it explained in complete detail what would happen to the two younger Kaiba brothers if Seto didn't stop the completion of the new duel disk. The same question popped into Yugi's and Danny's mind. Who was behind this threat and why?
