Chapter 1
Attack of the Fly
Thursday November 3rd, 2011
"Regan you're going to be late, if you don't get out of bed." Mom yelled from downstairs.
"But I don't want to get out of bed; it's warm in here." Regan complained turning away from the light in her face.
"Unless you want Yugi to see you in your Pyjamas you have about one minute to change, because I'm sending him up." Jade yelled from down stairs.
"What, you can't he's not here?" Regan asked still not convinced.
"Hey Regan, what's up?" Yugi asked also from the bottom of the stairs.
"Ah." Regan got out of bed so fast her foot got caught in the blanket.
"Thirty seconds." Jade called.
"Well I have my skirt on; I guess a top will do nicely." Regan stated in a panic hearing the top stair creak. She placed on a tank top and not a moment too late as Yugi walked through the door.
"Hell-" Yugi started as he just dodged a pink puffball. "O."
"What are you doing up here?"
"Well if I didn't she would send Phoenix after me." Yugi stated as he was terrified of the orange cat.
Phoenix took out Joey and Tristan as they tried to enter Regan's room to get homework answers just under a month ago.
"You mean this kitten right there?" She asked pointing to the cat who had just stolen her place on the bed.
"Yeah..."
"Don't worry about Phoenix; he only listens to me anyway."
"Oh, I never heard of a cat who listens to anyone."
"Cats are extremely smart that they don't have to listen to anyone, but Phoenix decides upon himself to listen to me." Regan said then added, "Or when he wants to anyway."
Yugi grinned. "Well I'll see you down stairs then."
She nodded watching him leave. She got to work getting ready for the day as quickly as she could. She grabbed her puzzle and placed it on then headed down stairs leaving the crimson cat to rest.
"Here's your toast, and I shall see you later." Her mother said handing her toast as she walked out the front shop door.
The door closed to leaving her with her friends Téa and Yugi. "Hey thanks for waiting."
"No problem, but we better hurry. " Téa answered and the other two teens nodded in response and started towards their school.
They got to the lockers by the first bell and collected the items they needed like a binder for first class, text books and pencil case. On the way of their rush to homeroom they caught up with Joey and Tristan who also seemed to have just arrived.
"And the crowd goes wild as the Invincible Five make it just as this bell goes off." Joey cheered as the bell went off.
"That is very impressive Joseph, but homeroom attendance needs to be completed and you need to be in your seat." Mr. Croc told him as the rest of the group sat in their seats in the corner. There was an empty seat in behind Yugi in the farthest row at the back. Téa sat in front of him while Regan sat beside him in the second farthest row. Tristan was behind her and Joey sat in front of her. The class was patiently waiting for the announcements to be finished as Mr. Croc was the Announcer and then waited for him to complete the attendance that he hardly ever did.
"Okay my lovely 2-C you may continue your chats, because I don't have anything to teach." He told the class.
Regan took out her white plain binder and looked at it plainly. She took out her multiple sharpies; black, blue, green, purple, red, and yellow and then proceeded to draw on it with the black marker. She outlined some math signs like addition and subtraction and science signs like omega and periodic table pieces. And just she was about to colour them in, she heard a frustrated growl then a call of her name.
"Regan, you have to help me with this duel puzzle." Joey said sitting where Yugi usually sat and Yugi sitting in the empty seat.
"What is the scenario?"
"Well I have to equal out our life points to zero and he has Mirror Force and Chimera the Flying Mystical Beast on my field I have Abaki and Dust Tornado. He has 500 life points and I have 900. " Joey answered scratching his head trying to figure out what to do.
"You activate your face down card to cancel out his Mirror Force and then attack the chimera and then you will both have zero life points." She answered with a frown by the distracted of such a lousy question.
"Stop frowning, you look like Kaiba." Joey flustered.
"It's funny now that you mention it she does look like Kaiba." Tristan stated rubbing his chin observing.
"Okay then." She answered awkwardly then went back to her amusement.
After a few moments she felt the hairs on the back of her neck started to stand like they had been doing all morning. She turned to look for what was making her feel like she was being watched, but only came across a fly on the wall.
"What's wrong Regan?" Téa asked.
"Nothing," Regan answered as she turned away from the fly. "It's nothing," she repeated trying to convince Téa.
Téa didn't look convinced, but she continued to talk to Bakura who was sitting in Joey's seat. The day continued with her concentration split into three; one part on her work, one part on how to find and defeat Dark Matter and one part on the feeling of being watched from afar. She walked home with her friends and said goodbye to them as they arrived at her house. She walked up to the shop door and opened it to find her mother working in the shop.
"Hey I'm home." She said to her mother moving a box with her mom's back facing her.
"Hi, did you have a good day at school?"
"Yup, and if you need me I'll be up stairs on the computer." Regan answered heading for the dividing door.
"Actually I do need you for a second." Mom answered and Regan stopped at the door. "I need help setting up the last few touches like removing the boxes so you can see the room I have designed. I rearranged the store again today."
"Okay." She answered putting down her bag at the door.
The two of them got to work by placing the empty boxes in the basement. Each box as either wood or cardboard and only two could be held at a time. It took them about ten minutes to finish and when Regan came back upstairs for the final time she really got the view of the room. There were about fifty different types of perfumes, makeup and skin cares. There room was brightly lit with the yellow walls and countering purple floor. There were also silk ribbons covering the white tables.
"You were busy today. So is there anything else that you need me for?"
"Yes, one last thing then you can head up to your room. Do you think the name of the store is good, I'm not sure if I like it or not." Jade answered.
"Well, Dragon Beauty is a good name all on its own really. I'm not just saying this because I like dragons; dragons are majestic and definitely number one when it comes to mythical creatures. They are known all around the world and they have been with humans since human existence." She answered happily after thinking about it for a moment or two.
Her mom looked around in thought then nodded. "Yeah the name is perfect, I'll keep it then. You're a natural at these things like Mr. Kaiba that owns that big company."
"I thought you guys weren't getting along." Regan stated with annoyance. "Which is why he hasn't come over since Monday for any tutoring classes, I've had to walk to Kaiba Corp for them."
"You both have high amount of pride and you both seem to have a sarcastic comment for anything." Jade replied ignoring her comment all together, "Interesting."
Regan a bit angered about being compared to someone everyone seemed to know a lot more than about and she was with him three times a week. "What is with people comparing me to Seto Kaiba, it's like you want me to marry him or something? He grew up and owns a multimillion dollar gaming company. I'm just a little kid that has barely worked in a work place. Sure we get along a lot better than the rest of my friends do with him, but I don't even know him that well let alone should be compared to him."
"Are you saying that he is better than you?"
"Are you kidding me, he has done more things in a month than I have done in my life. He has the number one game company in the world. And he has more commitment to the things he does than I can even comprehend. How can I possible be better than him?" She replied.
"Easy," Mom replied. "You had and have the chance to be a kid. I bet Mr. Kaiba didn't have as long to be a kid and just enjoy life."
"You're too protective to give me room to grow up."
There was a silent moment before her mother replied. "I'm not sure if I should take that as a compliment or not. You are free to go and I made a dozen cookies if you want any in the kitchen."
Annoyed she grabbed her backpack and placed it on her back. She walked towards the door and opened it then closed it behind her so her mother wouldn't see her. She sighed and went to the kitchen, picked up about six cookies and then headed up stairs. She walked into her bedroom to see her cat staring outside on the opened window ledge.
"Hey Phoenix, how was your day?" She asked the cat and in return he meowed and went back to staring outside.
She set her bag on the floor beside her desk and sat down on her work chair. Opening her laptop ideas and thoughts started to crowd her already crowded mind so she decides to write them down on Microsoft Word. First it started to where the Dark Matter could be found and that lasted about two pages after writing place, place, place etc. Then it went to ways of destroying him.
"Poor Bakura, whoever this Zorc guy is must have done some pretty nasty stuff to him and the world." Regan said to herself while writing: Paralyse him with jellyfish and start ripping him to pieces.
"For someone who isn't evil, you have an extremely disturbing imagination." Nile said after reading what she had wrote.
"Movies, video games, and a teenager's mind equal what you see." Regan told her friend. "It's not that brutal, but if we put him on the road and started to run him over with steam rollers, starting at the toes, we could make his head pop off like a cap on toothpaste. But before we get into any vital organs we start to run over his arms towards his body so none of the pretty little organs slip out his fingers, and maybe because he is a demon maybe he won't actually die immediately after crushing his heart and lungs…"
"Are you okay," Nile asked with concern. "You seem stressed."
"Yea, I'm fine." Regan lied.
Nile glared in her direction. "I live in there too, so don't even think you can keep anything hidden from me."
"Fine," Regan sighed. "Just everything seems to be building up more and more. First we had Mr. Demon and then there is the Dragon Slayers that are looking for Kaiba's weapon technology that is hiding in the many vaults and computer systems of Kaiba Corp and my mom is acting really strangely and the first two problems are always one or two steps ahead more so with the Slayers then DM. Everything seems to be out of control and I don't like not being in control."
"You sound like Kaiba when he tries to have control."
"Oh great you too, another thing that is on my list of stress, I barely know the guy and everyone seems to know him so well that they compare me to a flipping king."
"Who died and made Kaiba a king?"
"Well your brother 5000 years ago and then his step-father the first time five years ago and then again a couple of months ago. And besides right now, he practically could run the world if he wanted to," Regan answered as she walked to the dresser and started to take out fuzzy PJ's and threw them on the bed. "I'm taking a shower to release all this crap for a while. Could you keep a look out; I don't need anyone or anything interrupting the only time where I am completely relaxed and vulnerable."
"Only if I get to take a bath the next time, I like to think in the water also."
"I know, apparently we have the same interests, go figure, we're the same person." Regan commented as she left the room. She walked down the hall and was surprised when Nile appeared suddenly in front of her.
"Hey, you know that little fly that you saw all day today?"
"Yes, but it could have been multiple flies that came from someone's unclean locker."
"This is going to sound strange, but I don't think that fly was a real fly," Nile continued. "It's in the bedroom."
"Perfect another thing to add to the list." Regan sighed as she turned around and walked back into her bedroom. "I'm grabbing some clothes and changing in the bathroom after my shower. Phoenix," She turned to the cat that was watching the flying object from the window. "Don't eat it while I'm away."
Once again she wandered to the bathroom and shut the door behind her leaving the rest of the world behind its walls. She turned on the water to the shower and started to undress herself. She looked at the River's Puzzle and memories flooded to her mind from the time when it was removed by the Slayers. She shuddered, under the thought of the alternatives that could have happened. She jumped into the shower and water soothed her aches and pains in her head. After her shower she got dressed into the clothes she brought and put them on. A pair of black stretchy skin tight pants, a white long sleeve tight shirt and a black tight fit turtle neck t-shirt. She put on her puzzle and walked back to her bedroom. Nile sat on the bed and seemed to be watching Phoenix hunting down their visitor. Suddenly something started to talk.
"Good the girl is back now maybe the cat will fucking leave my fly alone."
Giving a confused look at Nile, the spirit walked to the fly on the wall. "I think it talked."
"Why would a fly talk?" Regan questioned and collected a box off of her dresser.
"I don't-"
"I love when they are oblivious to the real events; oh fuck, this is going to be fun once my plan gets started. Those Kaibas are going to get what's coming to them not just for not giving us the weaponry, but for what their father has done to the other plan. Yugi's parents also weren't much help either and little Yugi has become a rather a nuisance trying to get information that he should have stayed out of, rather upsetting of his connection with the final goal," The fly started up again. "Ah well, who could resist little Regan?"
'What the-' Regan looked back to the fly. 'A Slayer, but what did she mean by me being the final goal? Why did Mom say the same thing a couple of days ago? What happened to this shit being weekly?'
"Phoenix, get that fly," Nile ordered.
The cat jumped and caught the fly with ease. Regan grabbed a small jewellery box and snatched the fly up just as he was going to eat it. She shook it in victory. "We need to go over to Yugi's and get him informed, whoever is on the other end of this terrible built thing is after him and then we can call Seto at Kaiba Corp."
"Aren't the phone lines out at Kaiba Corp?" Nile asked.
"Not until after everyone clears out at eight, which I thought you knew," Regan explained as she started to put her hair in a ponytail. "And no, I don't want to know why you weren't paying attention, at any rate, I'm sure Mom will allow me to leave, even though her protectiveness has been smothering since Halloween." She grabbed her black boots and placed them on.
Nile went silent and Regan left the room with the spirit and the cat that followed her down the stairs to the shop where Jade had last been. Her mother was cataloguing the merchandise on a shelf.
"Hey Mom, I'm heading over to Yugi's to help unload the new card stock, now." Regan told her mother, hiding the box behind her back.
"Sorry Regan, but you can't leave; it's much too late out." Jade replied continuing on her work.
"But I need to go; I'm also picking up a few of booster packs and a couple of spellcaster booster packs, so I can make a new deck for Joey to test out tomorrow."
"I said no!" Regan flinched at the older woman's words. "It's too late for you to go out, even if it is just across the street. Supper is on the stove, eat, a card game can wait until tomorrow in the day. You're lucky that I still allow you to walk home from Kaiba's office after tutoring lessons, and that is well after dark."
"So I can't walk across the street even though it is about the same time I'm walking back from the business district? It's only six thirty."
"Don't argue about what my decision is."
Regan growled in frustration and left the room slamming the sliding door behind her. She ignored the smell of cheese as she walked up the stairs with Phoenix running ahead onto her bed. She walked into her room and also slammed her door closed in satisfaction. Better to slam a door or two then start a UFC match with something or someone. She collapsed into her desk chair and started to type out more of her awful list to negative thoughts towards a certain demon. She sat and typed for a while without keeping track of time and the stress of her anger slowly dissolved. Nile set a plate of lasagna on the desk. "How do you hold things from things when you're a spirit?"
"I suppose the same way I hold things if I had a body." The spirit replied siting on the bed. "Eat up, even if you say you aren't hungry you are, take it from someone on the inside."
"But, I'm not hungry."
"Do I have to spoon feed you? Cause I can and I will."
"No you don't have to spoon feed me, besides, it's a fork not a spoon." Regan replied with a grin showing off the tomato sauced fork.
"I wonder how sharp it is."
"You wouldn't dare hurt me; I'm your 'host' without me you don't exist."
"Well that didn't seem to stop Zorc now did it?" Nile challenged. "Why didn't you tell Mom the real reason why you were heading over, even though that was the original plan for tonight?"
"She definitely wouldn't have let me leave, 'that would be too dangerous'." Regan mocked.
Nile looked away from her and to the computer. "What have you been working on anyway?"
"Stuff," Regan replied shoving some food into her mouth. It tasted great on her tongue and in reaction her stomach growled. "Not hungry at all."
Nile raised an eyebrow and continued to look at the words on the screen. "Okay I'll admit that Dark Matter isn't a very nice demon and certainly not human, but for the love of the gods, he certainly isn't a lab rat! On top of that you can't stick him in a barbed wire cube; that is plagiarism."
"Yeah I know. I got it off Saw. But that doesn't matter, he wants to go and take over the world with his little pal; he is going to have to get through that first. How about a little electricity in the mix, that should effect the teleportation and every time he moved he get a couple hundred volts… do you know how much electricity a demon can receive before they die? We would have to adjust it to the right amount of voltage and currency."
"Are you okay? You seem sick."
"No, I'm fine," Regan sighed. "Just writing down the craziest of things and random thoughts that pop up are good stress reliever methods, like singing or slamming doors."
"They think they are all innocent don't they? We'll let the little ones have the last say. They will pay for their ignorance!" The fly in the box raised its voice.
"I don't care if Mom said I have to stay, this needs to be attended."
"Time to go," Nile agreed with a nod and stood 0up.
Regan went to the window, box in hand. "Well, we can't leave through the door because of mom, even if she was sleeping."
"So how are we supposed to leave?" Nile asked passing Regan her bag after checking through it as Regan looked outside.
"This window, the tree is close enough for me to get to it like Joey and Tristan did."
"Just don't hurt yourself; tree climbing is still new for this Egyptian Princess."
"Ah the art of tree climbing must be taught then," Regan commented as she opened the window. She jumped to the branch and climbed down it. "It is a very simple act, you climb the tree up or down and you make sure you don't step on a branch that looks dead or is too small to hold you weight."
"Sure sounds like mountain climbing or rope climbing," Nile answered and Regan reached the bottom.
"Exactly, all you need to do is climb up the tree and down the tree without falling out and you perfected the art." They headed across the street and noticed all the lights in the Muto home were off. "Hey what time is it?"
"About eleven thirty-ish,"
"Wow, now if she didn't want me out at this time I can see why, but she could have made this easier for everyone." Regan turned back to the window. "Yugi, Yugi! Hello?" She semi-yelled. She picked up a pebble and threw it. It hit the window, but nothing happened. "Arg, is he a deep sleeper or just good at ignoring outside elements?"
"Try a mental yell."
"Alright," Regan started. "Yugi, if you don't get your butt down here some freak from Slayers is going to have a killing spree!"
Yugi jolted awake and fell out of bed with a bang. "Ow, what was that?" He questioned rubbing his sore head as he looked at his blue PJ bottoms as if they knew the answer.
Atem busted into the room with a started look on his face. He looked like he was also awoken from his sleep with his blue plaid PJ bottoms and a black loose t-shirt partially tucked into his pants. "Are you ok, I heard a bang after hearing Regan's yell?"
"So wasn't just a dream," Yugi grunted as he stood up. "What time is it?"
"Eleven thirty," His old partner growled as he started out of his bedroom. "Let's go see why Regan woke the neighbourhood for."
Yugi grabbed the Millennium Puzzle from the deck and followed downstairs as he put on the item. He heard knocking from the game shop door and walked into the shop. Atem was waiting by the door. Yugi walked past him and opened the door to find Regan standing in the door with an annoyed look on her face.
"About time you showed up; you are hard to wake up." She said as she walked into the shop.
"What was all the noise to get us up for?" Yugi asked feeling all of his drowsiness that he had left slip away.
Regan looked confused and then noticed the other being that was down stairs. "Whoops, I didn't mean to wake you Atem, sorry." There was a sudden flash of panic that he almost missed went across her face. 'Don't turn around.'
In confusion at the sudden chat in his head, he was about to turn around when she suddenly kicked him lightly in the shin. "Ow,"
"So," Atem cleared his throat in the silence. "You wanted to check out the new cards… I thought that there was something up when you didn't come over."
Yugi nodded as the scene started to change into a more of a planned arrival.
"Yeah, Mom held me, she's too protective nowadays." The girl continued the play.
"Well with everything going on within the last month, I can't really blame her." Yugi told her and led her into the shop. They started walking towards the shelved cards when he heard a clap and a stomp. He turned around and watched Regan pick up something from the ground. "What is that?"
"This would be your stocker."
"A fly… why would a fly be stalking anyone?" Atem asked.
"This fly is-" Regan started but a weird female voice interrupted.
"Oh… killing a poor innocent fly isn't very nice. Atem, I believe that was his name, is cute. If only there were two flies I could still look at his face. That stern face and the way he poses, nothing like the rest of the Muto Family even though the records say otherwise. He has to be mine!"
"That was just disturbing, even worse than the fan girls recently." Atem spoke with disgust. "Who was that?"
"That is what I was about to tell you." Regan said showing them a small box. "It was this fly, definitely not built properly, I'm not even sure if she had any idea on what she was doing."
Yugi took the 'fly' that Regan crushed and observed it. Its head was dangling from its body by a wire. "What is it doing here?"
"Well, the female on the other end is a Slayer, so there should be one more either at Seto's office or at his mansion, Seto is doing extra work tonight and I wouldn't be surprised if Mokuba was also there helping out. Whoever is on the other line is looking for revenge and not just the weapons found in the computer system."
"Was there anything else?"
"Seto's real father and mother were mentioned, but the last part made no sense to me when it was said, something about your parents, Yugi, and now you're getting information for this final goal or something."
Yugi glanced at Atem and blocked out Regan's connection. 'Should I tell her about what I know on the final goal?'
'No, this isn't the time or place and by the looks of where this night is going, I have a feeling this discussion will resume.'
"We should head over to Kaiba's office then and maybe we can get some sort of information off of it." Yugi said out loud handing the mechanical fly to Regan. "Atem and I will meet you back down here in five minutes."
"Alright have fun changing, oh by the way it isn't very warm out." Regan replied setting money on the counter. "I'll just look at some of these new cards packs."
Yugi gave her a few of the card packs that he had reserved for her and followed Atem up the stairs to change into something more civil then PJs. He put on his school pants that he wore earlier that day and a long sleeve black shirt. He placed on his collar, his deck belt, and put on a pair of white socks from his drawer. He gathered up his bag, emptied his school contents for the next day and exited out of his room with the necessary things. Atem was right behind him as he started down the stairs and they entered the game shop where Regan was already swapping out some cards with some new ones. They acknowledged each other and head out into the night.
There was silence between the three of them with each of them in their own lands of thought, in which none of them Yugi was able to pick up on so he ventured into his own brain. 'So this female is a Dragon Slayer, which would make obvious reasons to go after the Kaiba brothers. But what about Regan and the final goal of the plan that Jade was looking into? What is the purpose to it? What would the Dragon Slayers know about it and why would they be even looking into it?' They passed an alleyway and his thoughts became darker. 'What about my parents… what was their involvement? How were Kaiba's parents, Jade and Regan, and my parents all involved before the Dragon Slayers were even created? Or at least according to our findings they shouldn't have any record of my parents. But, if they truly don't; it goes back to the original question, who is this other woman?' Suddenly he felt someone tug on his shirt and before he could react there was a cold blade pressing against his throat. "Hey who are you?!"
There was a thug holding Atem and another thug holding Regan. They all had masks on and it seemed that they all were the same height also, probably a bunch of siblings or really close friends, all in the same bad decision.
"Shhh, we don't wanna cause any trouble. Just hand over your bags and we'll be on our way." The thug that was a knife to Atem said.
"You don't want to cause trouble, yet all three of you are holding knives to our throats," Atem chuckled darkly in anger. "You stopped the wrong people."
"Hey, watch what you say or your cute little doll might get hurt," Answered the other thug behind Regan.
He looked at Regan and was surprised. In his open connection, she wasn't worried one bit, but her appearance was like she was back in the haunted house hospital again, fragile and scared.
"Oh please, if you want money I have a lot of it on me, but please don't hurt my friends or me. But if you just want my bag I can give that to you, but I need some room to take it off." Regan whispered fearfully.
Yugi looked back to Atem, 'What is she doing?'
'Probably abut to do something drastic.' Atem replied. 'Or something really dumb.'
The thug released Regan and without a pause she grabbed the arm of the attacker, twisted the arm behind his back and the knife dropped into her hand just as the sound of a crack and a pop echoed in the quiet night. The thug cried out in pain. "Release my friends or you'll be joining your buddy in the hospital with more than a broken wrist and a popped shoulder."
Yugi could feel the heartbeat of his attacker rise and the man's chest vibrated when he spoke. "Your friends will be bleeding to death before you can move."
"You're right, all you would need to do is slightly move your wrist, but I wonder what you could do if something were to just spontaneously happen. Like if one of you got a broken nose and the other got a broken toe." Regan replied sternly.
'Or both,' Atem announced in Yugi's head and he turned to him and their plan was setup. Yugi was glad that the two of them could work on a millisecond bases.
"You couldn't do that from there."
"You're smarter than you look,"
Yugi smashed his foot into the man's foot and heard something very unpleasant come from it. The man released the knife in agonized pain and it fell to the ground. Yugi turned to Atem who shrugged off the other attacker as he backed up to the wall with his hands covering his nose and blood dripping off them.
"Let's go," Yugi told them and they ran as fast as they could. They stopped running in the front of Kaiba Corp building. "This is… the last time… I run… six blocks."
"Yugi, knowing that, we are probably going to be running a lot tonight," Atem replied as he caught his breath.
"Let's just get this over with." Regan sighed.
Yugi raise an eye brow at her change of mood as she walked towards the office door. Yugi followed after her and Yugi rang the little bell beside the door.
A security officer opened the reflection glass door. "Sorry the office is closed until morning, come back then and make an appointment."
Atem stuck his foot in the door just before the officer closed the door. "We need to see Kaiba. Mokuba and he are in danger"
"I can't let you in, but I'll contact someone to see if Mr. Kaiba can speak with you first thing in the morning, but he is off tomorrow." The officer replied. "Now, good ni-"
"What is the issue?" A well-known voice echoed from inside.
"Mr. Kaiba, some kids want to see you without an appointment at closed hours, thought they say it's important."
The door opened to have a full view of Kaiba in a business suit. "You may leave, these three are no danger, you might want to talk to a few security members in the staff room on anything that might not be in the handbook."
"Yes, sir," The officer replied and left.
"What do you want Yugi?"
"There is a problem that you might want to know about." Yugi replied as Kaiba looked around behind him.
"Where's the rest of the geek squad?"
"Seto, this is an emergency." Regan scolded.
"They aren't here because it doesn't concern them," Atem answered the question. "But it certainly concerns you and Mokuba."
Regan passed Kaiba the mechanical fly that she crushed in the game shop and he looked at it for some time. "I think we should take this conversation inside, just in case there are some more ears hiding in the shadows." Kaiba nodded and allowed them to enter just inside the door. "That fly was found following Yugi around and there was another following me around, there should be one more around either you or Mokuba."
"Is the fly that was following you in that box?" Kaiba asked.
"Yes, the creator somehow managed to build it wrong. It talks."
"It talks?"
"It talks." Yugi answered. "Actually, I'm going to agree with Regan from earlier, the creator is an idiot, you don't add speakers to an observation fly."
They started walking to an elevator when it opened to Mokuba walking out.
"Seto, what going on, I thought we were heading home?" Mokuba asked in confusion as them walked up to him. Mokuba looked panicked for a second as when he looked at Regan.
'What's wrong with him?' Yugi asked himself.
"Mokuba hold still." Kaiba ordered making him jump. He snatched something out of the air and crushed it in his hand, "Whoever is behind this is going to regret it."
"Oh, why are those three in Kaiba Corp?" The fly in the box said out loud. "There is no way that they know about my plan, but now I'm outta surveillance flies. Why must people be so abusive to flies?"
"And I thought Joey was incompetent." Kaiba shook his head in anger pushing Mokuba back into the elevator and pressed on his KC logo on his jacket. "Roland, get Alex and send her to the Control Room, I need her to pick up Mokuba."
~Right away sir! ~ Roland responded on the other end.
Yugi and his friends followed into the elevator and the doors closed behind him. Kaiba pushed a button and they headed down into the complex building.
"Seto why are they here?" Mokuba asked again as the elevator doors opened to a room with a very large monitor on the wall and several empty seats that started from the middle of the room and headed back to the end of the room with desks that also had computers on them.
"We need to figure out where the signal of these flies came from so that we know where they are hiding." Regan announced walked over to the main keyboard system in front of the large screen. She placed the game shop fly on a little pad and pressed a few buttons and suddenly a globe appeared on the screen.
"Regan, what are you doing?" Kaiba asked in confusion as he walked over to the girl.
"I'm using satellite beams to find out where the last connection from the fly came from and according to the last recording it was bounced off of your duel disk satellite." Regan started and paused to look up at Kaiba and backed away from the computer blushing. "Uh, yea I'll watch from here."
"Heh, she has obviously been spending way too much time in Kaiba corp." Yugi joked to Atem.
"Apparently so," Atem agreed as Mokuba walked up to them.
"Hey Yugi, Atem can you look at something for me… I need a second opinion."
"Sure," Yugi answered and Mokuba led them to the back of the room away from Kaiba and Regan.
Mokuba pulled out a picture and showed it to them. "Who does this look like?"
The picture showed a woman with black straight hair in a ponytail with bangs and was smiling with a grin that was similar to one Mokuba did often and the occasional Kaiba. Now that Yugi thought about it, Regan also smiled with that grin sometimes too. "Is this Regan?"
"No, it can't be, Regan's eyes are the same as my sister's, this woman has blue eyes and Regan's face is slimmer than her." Atem answered. "Who is this woman?"
"This is my mother; Seto gave it to me as an example to show how beautiful she was. So when I walked out of the elevator-"
"You thought it was your mom." Yugi finished somewhat heartbroken. "Maybe Regan and you guys are related in some way."
"I wouldn't be surprised if she was a cousin and her parents dumped her on Jade's door step. They are vermin enough to do it."
"I found the location of the thug." Kaiba raised his voice breaking the conversation that had started.
"I don't think a 'thug' can be female." Regan stated as Yugi, Atem and Mokuba walked back to Regan and Kaiba.
Kaiba started walking back to the elevator and turned his head a bit and placed little patience in his voice. "And how would you know the fly creator is female?"
"Well the voice sounds female for one, and for two she was checking out the Pharaoh."
Kaiba stopped and looked at Atem and then back to Regan. "Does she even know how old he is?"
"Hey, I'm technically the same age to when I left and now after that little incident; I age like any other human. Which by the way if you didn't know, I'm eighteen, one year younger then you Kaiba." Atem argued.
"Can we move on please?" Mokuba asked in annoyance.
The elevator opened and Alex walked out and Kaiba turned back towards the elevator and nodded at her presence. "Fine, but Mokuba you are staying safe with Alex."
"Huh, wait you can't go by yourself and confront this woman, perhaps she isn't as dumb as we have placed her to be." Mokuba protested.
"Mokuba is right, plus she is part of Dragon Slayers so who knows what is at that location." Regan admitted.
"And that's why he isn't going alone." Yugi stated shooting the words in Kaiba's direction. "Regan, Atem and I are going with him."
Kaiba rolled his eyes and continued his walk to the elevator. "If you three are coming, than you better get moving cause I'm not waiting."
Yugi followed the rest of his friends and entered the elevator leaving Mokuba with Alex and Kaiba pushed another button. The elevator went down for a while and then it opened to a huge room making Yugi's jaw drop. The room was filled with at least 75 different cars and doubles or more for each color.
"Wow, look at all these cars, convertibles, ventures, uplanders, chargers, corvettes, electric, solar powered, wranglers!" Regan's Eyes sparkled in delight as she named them.
Yugi looked at her, "I have never seen a girl be so excited about cars."
"It's not just the shape or name of the car; it's also the engine, the suspensions, the tire covers, the color, the interior sound system and HUMMER!" Regan listed and then she ran away into the parking lot.
Yugi face palmed himself. "Sometimes I don't even know her."
"She likes hummers." Atem stated. "What more is there to know?"
"Where in the world she gets her energy from. It's a little after midnight and she darting around like its midday."
"There is an important job to do," Kaiba started. "Neither us nor she can afford to sleep so she is working her body to make sure she doesn't. I work out all the time at night when I'm pulling an all-nighter so I keep alert of anything and it is a good break to look away from the screen."
"That's makes sense." Yugi agreed.
"We're taking the hummer out for a spin." Kaiba announced as he walked to where Regan's feet were echoing from.
Yugi and Atem hurried after Kaiba. When they got there Regan was looking between a white hummer and a black hummer as if she was deciding which one she liked. They seemed to be equal in every way, but Yugi could tell there was something different about one of them.
"How many seats do these have?" Regan asked.
"The white one has seven while the black has six, but the black one also has a table when the seats are rearranged to the sides of the vehicle." Kaiba answered.
"Black one it is!" Regan shouted and stood in front of it. "If that's ok," She asked and settled down again.
"Sure why not, but the Mutos are in the back." Kaiba said getting into the driver's seat which was on the opposite side then a Japanese vehicle.
"This was imported from North America wasn't it?" Yugi asked as he entered the passenger side back seat.
"Hmm your smarter than I give you credit for." Kaiba said sarcastically as Regan sat next to him and Atem behind Kaiba. "Yes it is."
The hummer started up and Kaiba drove out of the parking space and towards the exit.
Yugi coughed, "Says the one who can't beat me in any game."
