Chapter 6

New Beginnings

7:02 AM December 24th 2011 (Las Vegas)

12:02 AM December 25th (Domino City)

"SETO!" Regan screamed at the top of her lungs. Tears started to crawl across her face. "SETO!"

The Blue-Eyes White Dragons howled. She turned to them and watched them get destroyed by the Five-Headed Dragon. She turned back to Seto and he still didn't show of any movement. Footsteps touched the ground. Most walked towards her, but Regan watched one set and followed him as he went over to her brother.

"Get away from him!" Regan shouted, but the man gave no indication that he was even listening to her.

He kicked Seto in the side, but nothing came from the CEO. He bent down and Regan wished Seto would pop up and attack the unguarded man, but it didn't happen. The man got up again and shrugged as he walked towards her with her duel disk in hand, the other five steps were around her, but she wasn't interested in them. "He's not breathing."

"No way…" she whispered not willing to accept it, "No! Seto get up!"

"How ironic, to be killed by his own dragon. Who would have thought?" Someone laughed to her right.

"Shut up! He's not dead!"

The man tossed the duel disk lightly and it skidded across the floor with the three Blue-Eyes cards on the board. The man grinned, "Seems like our little captive seems to be distressed; all sad about a little boy dead."

"You guys just don't fucking get it!"

"Oh shut up before we make you." Another said as he bent down in front of her. He had the duel disk in his hand and picked up one of the Blue-Eyes cards. "Hmm, such a dragon and now they are dead." He slipped the dragon into the graveyard slowly. He followed with the rest of the dragons and then pulled out the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon. He looked at it and then towards her turning the card to face her. "Just like their master, considered the ultimate dragon with blue eyes."

He tossed it in the graveyard and Regan winced as it seemed to slip into it in slow motion to her. Something metal tapped against the floor followed by the sound of tiny drops of water. The man looked at her and then down to the floor just under her chin. The man starred and Regan could see the gears turning in his head. The guy wasn't as stupid as the other ones she had encountered. "You got to be kidding me."

"What is it?" One of the other guys asked.

"I think the Kaibas were leading us on a stray, but not one that was completely absurd."

"What are you talking about? They do have a brother, but he's in the computer system."

"Oh I know they do, but he isn't the family member with the key." The man in front of Regan stated with an amused smile that almost seemed kind, but certainly not in her favor.

"What are you getting at?"

"Yea seriously, we don't have time for this we have to deliver her to the boss." Another one said, the guy that had the Five-Headed Dragon standing in the doorway.

"Think about the damn reports that we read: blue eyes, brown hair, and has a nasty sharp tongue."

"Yea, Seto Kaiba. But if you have forgotten, he's lying on the ground, broken, and dead from being crushed by his own dragon."

"True, but they also describe a certain someone that has been a real sore spot for us. They are the heir of Kaiba Corporation and the holder of the missing piece to our prize. Am I right Regan Heartin or should I say Regan Kaiba, sister of Mokuba and Seto Kaiba?" The man grinned as Regan said nothing and glared. He looked at the extra deck again and chuckled slightly as he took a card from it. "You're gig is up and just to make sure you got it in your head. The bond that you had with your brother are now gone and your company is ours when we tell the world about this little surprise. Since we really only need one Kaiba to own the company for ourselves, Mokuba will be the one that will be on display of execution for those who go against us."

"Why kill him, kill me instead and just let him go?!" She hissed as his finger brushed her cheek. She was rather hopeless. Six men were around her tied up state in two nets sucking whatever energy she had left. She felt tired and powerless. She couldn't even call for help through the mind link to her friends or Nile.

"Because you soft little kitten, you are everything that we could ever need with the right motivation." He turned the card around and it showed Dragon Master Knight. He threw it in the graveyard. "Not to mention, it would be more poetic to hold a princess from the kingdom we conquered."

Her heart was pounding in her chest making a part of her torso hurt, the part where the puzzle was sitting. She felt her own blood starting to soak the area and it didn't feel all that good. The man in front of her reached for the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon pendent. Right then something snapped on the inside. The pieces all came together of everything. She did not get this far just to be tied down. She didn't go through everything over the last few days to only fail at saving her brothers. And she most certainly did not come all the way to Las Vegas just to watch her brothers die because of her. There was no way she could accept, mostly the last part. She could not watch another person go into the cold ground, to rot and forever to know if there was an afterlife, that she had been the reason they were dead.

She reacted as she felt his finger brush through her hair and across her neck towards the latch. She moved her mouth towards the uncovered flesh of his wrist and his arm and bit down as hard as she could possibly could. It wasn't even a second afterwards that her teeth sunk into the skin. A bit of blood spattered on her cheeks as she tasted the blood of her enemy. The man screamed and tried to pull away, but she bit even harder and found something hard in her way: bone. The man brought out a knife from his belt and Regan let go.

"Heh good, and here I thought you were out of fight. It wouldn't be any fun to break you if you were."

"The thing about a Kaiba," She started as she spitted out his blood. Some of it dripped down the other side of her mouth. "We don't give up until we're dead. We don't break under someone."

"Is that so?" he mocked lowering the knife closer to her.

"You're fucking damn right it is so." She hissed.

She placed her right hand on the ground and spun on the floor. The knife to cut into the same arm as she spun but it also cut only a bit of the net. The sudden pain in her arm caught her slightly off guard and she shouted slightly. The man in front of her grabbed the front of the net under her collar bone and lifted her off the ground with his wounded arm.

"What do you think you are doing? This knife is dangerously sharp not to mention it doesn't allow the blood to clot very well in that area." He asked her just as calmly as before as if not even noticing the pain.

It was like he was holding a feather and his grip wasn't even that tight like it took no effort to hold her in the air. Regan felt scared of the man. He was different and it was highly intimidating to her to know that he was different from other humans.

"Notice something did you?"

"Why did you join this group if you know you are different from its members?" She asked him.

"Ever heard of The Game of Thrones, you got to play to win."

"Sounds like a dream to you the way you say it." Regan commented feeling liquid fall down her arm. The liquid hit the floor a few times before she spoke again. She felt the last drop of her regular aura sucked out. This caused her to show her pain with a tiny screech. Then, her exhaustion and pain were overtaken by adrenalin. "Too bad dreams are just fantasies and when you complete it, it never was a dream… so, allow me to crush it before you can crush it yourself."

Regan smirked as she felt her energy return to her and the reserves aura flowing through her. The last time she felt this was when her aura was being ripped out of her by Devin and his aura collecting ball. The nets were sliced where her blood was flowing down them and both she and the nets dropped to the floor. She felt Nile's presence and she was a little more than angry as time seemed to slow down for her.

"Regan, shall we?" Nile asked in her head.

'Let's do this.' She replied.

Regan felt her soul connect with Nile's and it felt amazing in a sense that her human senses couldn't explain. For some reason it was different, but she didn't mind. It was like they were finally together as one person, but still to forever remain separate, and it slightly pained her to know that. Time went back to normal and Regan followed the movements of Nile. Her body started to make sliver with northern light colored armor on her body using her access aura. Her gloved hands moved together and a sphere of her multicolored aura formed. It left her hands in a sharp gesture and flew powerfully into the man in front of her. He flew back and smashed into the floor. The other five men quickly reacted. Regan turned her attention to them. She swung her right arm towards the closest member causing her large wound to fling blood across the floor. Another sphere of aura formed and shot quickly into the man and sent him in the opposite direction followed by her left arm shooting the third one towards the dragon.

The three men charged at her. Then the man with the duel disk stopped short of his charge just as Regan flared up an aura shield. The two men rebounded and rolled a few times on the ground and then skidded towards the elevator. She figured they weren't getting up for a while. She turned to her last contender, but he wasn't where she had sensed him a few seconds before.

"Fire!" The man she was looking for called from across the room behind the dragon again.

Its five heads obeyed and shot each a stream of fire, water, air, earth, and darkness at her. She placed up another shield. It took up a lot of her strength as the attack tried to get through. There was a lot of noise as the attacks roared but they eventually died out allowing with her shield. Her eyes widened as another attack was already heading for her and struck her. It sent her flying and into the symbol of the Dragon Slayers. She smashed into it causing the breath of her to leave her as gravity did what it did best and sent her crashing into the floor. She, very tiredly, stood herself up only to slightly fall against the security desk. Her aura armor flickered every few seconds.

"There is just no way for you to win, just stop before I have to make you." the man called out.

She looked towards her brother. She tried reading him but she got nothing from him. Her heart beat rose in her chest and her pain in her torso returned. She looked down and pulled out the corner of the puzzle that was in there. It wasn't deep, but it was starting to hurt like a sliver. Tears fell onto the gold, silver and red object and she turned back to the man holding the Five-Headed Dragon. "Go to Hell."

The dragon shot its attacks and Regan stood there bracing for it as her weaken shield appeared. Just because she and Nile had her reserves to their disposal didn't mean the body could become invincible. There was a reason she never used it, her body couldn't handle the pressure of using, controlling and accessing it for long periods of time and she had only been using it in the time and place for three minutes. She could already feel her conscious wanting to slip away, for her to sleep, to heal, and most importantly replenish her aura. She glared as the attack came closer. There was no way she was going to lose against them. There wasn't a path were she was going to allow Mokuba to die. And she wasn't going to accept that Seto was dead on the floor beside her. She was going to bring every single person she loved and cared for back home and destroy the Dragon Slayers for everything they had done.

Suddenly, a bright orb appeared in front of the attack and negated it. She tried to look at it, but it blinded her. When the light died she looked up to see a white dragon that looked almost robotic but it wasn't. Its call was mesmerizing and Regan felt a connection to it. Then a card appeared in front of her just floating in the air as the dragon called again. She read the name and then its effects.

Regan.

Regan blinked looked around to what she heard. The female wasn't anything that was said, but she knew it wasn't something said in her head.

"What the fuck is that thing?!" The other man shouted in confusion.

Do you know where I came from?

'I- I don't know where?' Regan stuttered in her mind hoping the female voice could hear her.

I came from you, I was once a card, only one copy ever made, but I didn't stay. It wasn't my time to shine. Do you know why that is?

'Came from me… wait, was it because-'

That's right, the dragon you see in front of you is me and I am apart of you as your Ka, or your spirit monster. I have been there since the day of your spirit's birth.

'So why are you here after all this time?'

Because, you never needed me up until now, and when you did, you didn't know the bond between you and your brothers existed and you never truly combined with your other half until now. I am the combination between your ancestor as well as your brother's love for a singular soul, the power your mother possessed with her bloodline and the combination of Nile's and your parts of the soul. I am Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon.

Regan grabbed the card out of the air and turned her attention to the Five-Headed Dragon that just tried to attack her dragon. Her tears stopped as she walked from behind the desk. The attack failed as her dragon shot an attack and negated it in the air. "Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon, attack Five-Headed Dragon."

"Wait, that's a duel monster. Why the hell are you going against my dragon; it has five thousand attack points?!" The man asked. "How many does yours have?"

"Three thousand." Regan answered. "Just like my brother's card, mine is just as much."

"Then are you serious trying to fight against us until you can no longer fight. Oh wow, I don't know what the hell is wrong with you Kaibas, but last I checked, it would be easier or more painful I guess with your pride to just give up. Hey I might even allow them to spare your little brother." The man laughed.

"Your dragon is the one that isn't going to be standing here in a moment because for every dragon in the graveyard my dragon gains three hundred attack points and since there are seven in the graveyard; my dragon has fifty-one hundred attack points."

"Seven?!"

"You're heard me, my brother's three Blue-Eyes White Dragons, Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, Dragon Master Knight, Van'Dalgyon the Dark Dragon Lord and Felgrand Dragon. You can thank you friend in jail later for sending the Ultimate Dragon and the Master Knight there. Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon attack with Shining Neutron Blast!"

The white dragon's orbs started to glow a blue and let out a stream of a lot of energy came from the dragon's mouth. The Five-Headed Dragon didn't even get to counter attack as the blast went through it and through the front of the building creating a giant hole in the wall were the doors used to be.

The dragon howled and the man fainted on the floor from the power of the attack. Regan did a check of the room and found only Mokuba was the only conscious person on the level. She rushed over to Seto and dropped to her knees beside him. She shook him by placing her hands on his chest, but he didn't move. His chest didn't seem to be rising and she couldn't feel a heartbeat.

"Seto you can't be dead. Not yet, dammit not yet!" She shouted at him and closed her eyes. She couldn't bear to look at him like that. "You can't do that! You said you wouldn't! You always keep your promises!"

"Stop yelling, I'm right here." Seto's voice told her and Regan flew open her eyes. They led to his face and deep blue eyes stared at her. Then a smirk appeared on his face. "Miss me?"

Regan was happy and then rage took over as he sat up like nothing happened. "You bastard, how could you?!" She tried to bang on his chest but her strength to lift her arms suddenly left. "Don't die again, ever." She sighed.

Seto looked at her strangely mostly at her now fading armor and then looked up at the dragon that was hovering around them. "What the?"

"I'll tell you my story after you tell me yours." She responded angrily. Suddenly, she blacked out for a moment and she felt herself drift. She regained consciousness to catch herself from falling onto Seto's legs.

"Why are you like this?" He asked her. "You're bleeding to death."

"Heh, not the first thing that would have come out of my mouth."

He ripped his sleeves off his shirt and then took one of them and started to wrap around her arm. She couldn't feel the pain that she should've felt. When he was done he wrapped another one around her torso where the puzzle had stabbed her. To think that one of his arms could fit all a way around her. The thought amused her just as footsteps entered the room echoing. She glared towards it then realized it was the rest of the team and Yugi. There were several gasps and Seto stood up. He helped Regan to her feet and she walked to meet them as Seto went to the elevator. Mokuba's voice echoed the room and bounded ahead of her as she walked.

She stopped short of Yugi when she noticed something on the ground. She looked at it and there was a net that held her still shining like the aura that was trapped within couldn't escape. But there was a problem there should have been two. There was only the net that wrapped around her legs left there as it was smaller. The other one was gone. She looked towards where the inhuman human was and her eyes tried to widen. The man was no longer there. Her shock of knowing where he was possibly heading made her look around for the other net that had pinned her down. She looked around but it was gone. Shock over took her along with moving her head around made her balance let go. She drifted to side and fell next to the single net on the floor. Then, everything went black and silent, which she more than welcomed.

Regan woke up looking at a familiar ceiling under familiar comforters and on top of a familiar mattress. She lied in bed feeling refreshed and feeling pretty good about everything. She went to move her right arm when she felt a pain in it. She forcible moved it to her sight and found a white bandage had been wrapped around it. She sat up and felt the same thing pain where her puzzle was resting. She sighed as she looked out the window. The sun wasn't there and the sky was red seemingly like it was on fire. It was very late in the day. She got up out of bed to find that she was wearing the night gown Maximillion Pegasus had given her. She sighed again as she looked out the window. Everything had happened, it wasn't a dream. Did that mean the Dragon Slayers were rebuilding? What had happened to them? What about her brothers? Or what about Yugi, Téa, Atem, Joey, Tristan, Ryou, and Maximillion, where they alright? When did she start calling Pegasus, Maximillion?

She wandered slowly to the door and reached for the handle. A meow stopped her and she turned to it. Phoenix was purring loudly and then started to walk over to her from under the bed. She bent down and petted him on the head with her uninjured arm. "Hey you, what are you doing under there?"

"Mreow." The cat responded and placed his paws on her knees.

"You want up?" She asked. The cat didn't answer as she stood up and picked him up off the ground. The cat squeaked and placed himself on her shoulders. She shook her head. "You are so weird. But at least you're warm."

"Meow."

"Fine, off we go."

She opened the door and walked down the hallway. She heard noises from downstairs and followed them as she couldn't hear them very well. She walked over to the living room as she called it. Mokuba called it the common room, but she never did care for the name. She wandered in and found Seto sitting beside Alex and Roland sitting on the other couch with Mokuba. All heads turned to her and she waved.

"Good evening, did you have a good sleep?" Seto asked her.

"Best in a long time." She smiled and then her stomach suddenly felt like it wanted to eat itself. "How long was I sleeping for?"

"Oh just two days." Mokuba piped up and Regan looked at him.

"Two days."

"Yup, Yugi was here all day yesterday and the whole time you were out before we got back home. Seto had to take him by his collar and drag him out of the house, drive him home, and then tell his parents and grandfather to feed him and keep him at home."

"So he left yesterday." She said not really sure what to make of it. She turned to Seto. "How are you doing?"

"Perfectly fine."

"So you resurrecting from the dead was…?"

"Just me being me."

"Ah so you still think you are a god." She smirked.

"Of course, if not a god, at least part one."

"What actually happened when Blue-Eyes hit you?"

"Wait a minute!" Mokuba suddenly stopped the conversation. "What are you guys talking about? I know about that god thing, but what about are you talking about Seto resurrecting."

"You didn't tell him you died?"

"He didn't tell any of us anything." Alex stated astonished.

"I was waiting for you before I told anyone about the little incident inside of the Dragon Slayer headquarters' lobby." Seto said with a shrug.

Regan sighed and sat down next to Alex. Between herself and Seto they told the beginning of the lobby story and then Regan had to tell the second part when Seto died up until she passed out in the lobby.

"Your friends and Pegasus were a little surprised to see the Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon. They questioned it, I told them I didn't know, the dragon disappeared and then we left. I called a couple of people on the ride over to the airport and they got the Dragon Slayer's building secured and prepped for collecting their things."

"What about the Dragon Slayers?"

"All the people my clean-up crew did find in the building were arrested."

"So… what happened after you were crushed by Blue-Eyes?"

Seto didn't say anything as he looked towards the table. It was obvious he didn't want to talk about it so Regan let it go. "Well as long as you're still walking and breathing it doesn't matter. Um on that note, what happened to the nets?"

"The nets?" Mokuba asked.

"Yea, whoever made them knew what they were doing." Regan stated as the memory of the dreaded things crossed her mind. "They were made to suck the aura out of someone and hold it. Even if it was cut, nothing seemed to escape it. There were three of them used on me just before Seto was unconscious and they held a quite a bit of it. When Yugi and the others came into the building one of the men that was there was gone and he more than likely had two of the nets with him because they were gone as well."

There was silence in the room. All of them knew about that tactical hazard that they had done their best to avoid. And yet, the Dragon Slayers had the invention in the headquarters that she invaded.

"I guess that means we don't have very much time. What does Nile have to say about it?" Seto asked.

Regan waited for an answer from the spirit, but she didn't answer. Regan just shook her head. "She's not saying anything, but the only solution I think is the best way is to train harder to improve faster."

Mokuba stood up from the couch. "Well you can't train if you aren't fed; let's get the kitchen staff to work."

00000

Regan looked up at the tower that stood in front of her and glared at it. "Are you sure there is no one inside the building?"

"Yes, Ms. Heartin." Roland replied and Regan turned her look to him. "Erm, Regan, sorry. The building has been scanned for any signs of life which only came up to bugs that had been living there. The entire area has also been evacuated as well."

She sighed and just shook her head. "Good, then there shouldn't be anyone around to see this then."

"See what?"

"I really haven't used my aura ability since we got back to Domino. It's been about a week since I've used it and to tell you the truth I'm feeling a bit restless."

"So is this why you asked your brother if you could come back the Dragon Slayer's base?"

"Something like that. I know that everything that was inside the Dragon Slayer's base was already taken out and sent to one of Seto's secret locations, but there is something that I need to do to make sure everything that they did have is either destroyed or in safe hands."

"This has to do with the nets right."

Regan nodded. "It's extremely unsettling that such a thing was ever thought of let alone created. I'm sure there are some structures inside of the walls that were the same as the nets. Whether the stolen property is in there is another question."

"You're brother thought of the same thing."

"I see, so that's where he's at, taking down the other buildings that they own."

"Collecting everything they possess and then destroying the buildings, though his method of destruction is unknown he did not tell me." Roland replied.

Regan smirked, "Probably because he's using a few methods. Now," She set a large shield around the building she looked at. The shield was made without any difficulty.

"You're getting good."

"Thank you, but it still couldn't take two hits from Five-Headed Dragon. This just to contain the area so nothing around it gets damaged."

"So how are you going to destroy it?" Roland asked her in confusion. "It's not like you can throw explosives. Like you said it's not the strongest shield and I doubt throwing aura streams at the structure will do."

"I'm going to crush it."

"How are you going to do that?"

"You're certainly are talkative today."

"Sorry Ms. Hear- Regan."

"It's alright, and I will gladly tell you. It's an idea that came from one of Yugi's adventures during Duelist Kingdom. One of the eliminators was named Panik and he liked to shield himself. The rules of the game were a little different back then so it was based off of realistic situations. Panik placed all of his monsters inside of a shield so they couldn't be hurt by Yugi's monster. In the end the floating castle started to fall due to being held by the Swords of Revealing Light card. It crushed his other monsters and ended the duel. What I'm going to do is something similar. I'm going to crush the building starting with the top using the top of my shield to do it. I'm sure there are going to be explosions and for some reason a little destruction seem like a good way to start my day."

"Are you ok?"

"Not in particular. I'm still pissed that we haven't found the leader of this group or his daughter to throw them in jail with the rest of their people. Not to mention, they technically killed Seto in there and if he wasn't alive then… I don't want to think about it. Point is; I need to relieve my stress and buildup of unused aura so this building is going to be my stress ball."

"May I ask another question?"

"Sure,"

"Do you need assistance afterwards?"

Regan placed a finger on her chin in wonder. "That's a good question."

"You mean you don't know! Regan you can't do that if you don't know if you are going to hurt yourself."

Regan shrugged, "I'll be fine, I think." Then she turned away from the building and gave him innocent look. "And besides, I have lovely hero right here to catch me if I do pass out."

Roland face palmed himself. "You are going to get me into trouble."

"No I'm not, Seto allowed me here so he knows that if I do pass out its all my fault and then he will have an excuse to not allow me to go out and do something. He's a bit of a strategic prick like that."

Roland didn't answer but she could read his eyes and they agreed with her. She smiled and turned back to the building narrowing her eyes at it. She needed the reminder of something that hurt her family so much that it needed to be destroyed. This was one group that they might have been able to eliminate, but there is one group that still lurked out there with all the data they needed. She clenched her jaw. Maybe that was why she wanted to do something so extreme. So it allowed her to grow faster and be a full aura user. Then she wouldn't have to worry about being targeted by them.

"You shouldn't push yourself so hard." Nile told her popping into existence beside her as she looked up at the building.

'It's not like I'm pushing myself for no reason. This is to keep everyone safe.' Regan said turning to her.

"I know, but still, you shouldn't be pushing yourself when you are still injured."

'Then why aren't you stopping me?'

"Because you're too stubborn when you have your mind set on something."

'In Translation, I'm not pushing myself too hard for you to get all worked up about and just steal the body to stop me from doing it.'

Nile didn't say anything for a moment and then she sighed. "Just take this awful building down if that is your plan, don't complain to me when the consequences show up."

Regan was about to retort, but the spirit left back into the puzzle. She sighed and turned back to the building raising a hand in the air to mimic the shield's dome ceiling. She pushed her hand downwards and the shield's dome copied her like motion control and crushed the building just as fast to the ground. There were some explosions from things being compressed. She held the sides of the shield raising the dome a bit to allow the building to settle its rubble. The explosions' energy was released and sent some of the rubble into the shield. She stumbled in her standing position as she tried to keep her shield strong.

"Was there a basement to the building?" Regan asked Roland out of breath. The shield was taking a lot out of her.

"No there wasn't." Roland replied as he looked impressed at her.

"No basement? Well that's a little strange for a large building."

"None of the other building had basements either, only the one that did was the bunker you were in on your trip to Vancouver."

"The owner of the Dragon Slayers must have a thing against basements. Or maybe it's just he's claustrophobic or scared of being underground, or even just the dark… maybe all three."

"Those are possibilities." Roland pondered. "So um, are you done because I think the building is?"

"I guess so." Regan sighed scratching her head. "I kinda wanted to toss it around in my shield like a salad, but there is no way it could hold such a weight let alone allow me to toss it. I just hope I got everything in there."

Roland raised an eyebrow. "We should get you home, you're worn out."

Regan dropped the shield and the dust started to spew out of its contained area. "Alright."

The ride home in the plane took several hours. Most of the time she spent regretting the decision of using her aura as a headache danced inside her brain. It didn't help much when Nile, also in a foul mood, told her she was going to regret it and if she continued to be reckless having a headache was going to be the least of her worries. Regan just scoffed at it. She was going to push herself regardless. She didn't have the luxury of time anymore to train to be a full aura user. Nile just rolled her eyes as the thought appeared in her head, but nodded anyway. At least they had something they agreed on in the terrible idea.

The plane landed and Regan followed Roland towards the exit. Seto and Mokuba were standing looking slightly bored, more so Mokuba than Seto.

"How long have you guys been here?" She asked them as Roland and she stood in front of them.

"For a while, we took the Blue-Eyes Jet to the places our brother wanted to destroy himself." Mokuba answered.

She pouted as she had to take forever long rides while they just zipped all around the world. "So your outing was good?"

Seto nodded. "What about yours?"

Nile popped next to her with her arms crossed unimpressed. "She crushed the building, but of course not listening to reason she did it with her aura. Now she has a nice headache that I suspect will be there for a day or two."

"Nobody asked for your input." Regan hissed at the spirit.

"Not to mention, she's hungry."

"Anything else doctor?"

"You need rest that isn't on a plane and maybe even a meditation session."

"I hate meditation, makes me feel funny."

"Enough, you two are worst then an old married couple." Seto complained and turned away from them. "Come on, let's go home and follow Doctor Nile's orders. I don't have time to worry about you with all this work that needs to be gone through."

"Hmm, looks like you have become more of a worry for brother than I am now." Mokuba stated as Seto walked out of the airport.

"Only because I'm making sure you aren't kidnapped." She joked and Mokuba gave her a dirty look.

Mokuba sighed as they walked after the older sibling. "Until the leader is caught to make sure the Dragon Slayers are completely disbanded, he has to make sure we both don't get ourselves kidnapped. Must be pretty stressful having to do everything by himself."

Regan nodded. "Maybe he'll let us do something for the last week of vacation to help him out."

"And if not, then we will just have to make a surprise for him." Mokuba replied then got really excited. "Hey wait, today is New Year's Eve."

"Ya I guess so, is it really big here?"

"Just the biggest holiday of the year, even Seto stays home for it."

Regan smiled and they met their brother in front of the limo.

"About time." Seto growled.

"I guess I'm not the only one hungry around here." Regan shrugged as Roland opened the door.

The three of them got in the back. Roland shut the door and wandered to the front. Within seconds they were off. Regan settled herself against the window. It was going to take a while to get back to the mansion. She continued to stare out in the open space between the two cities. It wasn't much different from her old home. Trees, dirt, animals, just the ground was at a different location and the history of the earth on the island she now lived was also different, so very different. But she had come to love it like she had back in her home country and some of the people that had resigned in it. Not all of them she liked, but the few that she did, they were important to her. It was important to make sure they stayed safe whether it was because of her or them. She had an ability and it was her responsibility to use it to keep them safe. No, she would not become Spiderman or Batman. As cool as it would, she was not a comic book hero. She was just a sixteen year old girl that learned new things everyday with an egotistic older brother and a slightly less egotistic little brother to teach her the things she didn't know about. Like her parents or even the things in Japanese culture.

She blinked and noticed they were going through the gates of the mansion property. She stretched and realized she had fallen asleep while thinking. The limo pulled in front of the house and Regan noticed it was raining very hard outside. The sound of the rain hitting the roof of the car echoed in the silence.

"Mr. Kaiba should I fetch an umbrella?" Roland asked from the front seat.

"Not necessary, it's just a bit of water." Seto replied and opened the door. The rain that beat against the car became very noticeable as it hit the ground in giant droplets falling millions at a time.

"With trace amounts of acid." Regan muttered.

"Ah, the kitten don't want to get a little rain on her," Mokuba mocked.

"Not in particular."

Mokuba shrugged and got out running for the door.

"Come on, it's supposed to rain even harder, there's a nasty rain and snow storm coming." Seto sighed. She couldn't tell if he was enjoying her not wanting to get wet or annoyed.

"Both at the same time, must be a common thing for an island."

"Have you ever been to Newfoundland?"

"No I haven't."

"It's many times worst there, now out before I get Alex to get the hose and wash you out."

Regan's eyes widened. "That water's freezing."

"Pick you poison." Seto stated and walked to the house leaving her behind.

She shuddered at the thought of the garden hose at the time of year and rushed out of the limo and into the house shutting both the limo and house doors as she went. A towel awaited her and she dried her soaked skin and hair. She was out there for a few seconds and yet it seemed like she just got out of a very cold bath. "Thanks."

"No problem." Mokuba replied and took the towel from her and placed it on the coat stand that held two other wet towels. They all took off their shoes. And the three of them walked into the living room. Seto started to open the living room doors and Regan noticed there was something up immediately. An unpleasant feeling of hatred was coming from the room. Her brother stiffened noticing it as well. One glare at the door was all it took before he pushed them open all the way. On the other side was Rose was standing in front of the going fire with a man who faced the fire. Regan could tell she didn't know him. She grasped both swords and drew them getting ready for whatever they were planning. Seto placed a hand in front of her. She felt a very strong sense of anger from him but also accomplishment.

"Who are you and what are you doing in our house?" He demanded firmly. It sent chills down her spin at how cold the words were.

"Just admiring the taste you have. Never thought you as a house decorator like this; it's rather different then I actually expected." The man replied still facing the fire. "As for whom I am, why don't you take a guess?"

"Leader of the Dragon Slayers for a start."

"Congrats, now do you have anything else?"

"Just your last name is Phono, but please do tell of your first name."

"Sounds like someone is a little angry."

"I'm feeling fine, I was wondering when you would show up here. I guess all that needed to be done was to take everything that you stole and blow all your buildings up."

"Yes, I wasn't very happy to hear about that. You placed my people in jail and kept everything you found in my buildings for yourself."

"Well it was my stuff to begin with; I don't see the harm in taking what was mine."

"Some of it wasn't yours."

"Gorzaburo is dead. That said his stuff is my stuff."

"That isn't what I was talking about."

Seto was silent for a few moments. "That will be hidden and all of its research."

"Protective over someone you only knew for a couple of months. Seems a bit much doesn't it?"

"Not really, family is everything to a Kaiba. But of course I doubt you follow such complex ways of living."

"In a way I do, Seto Kaiba, which is why I'm here."

"You really think you can take the three of us on with two of you?" Regan hissed lightening up the room a bit with her blades. "Because I doubt the both of you could get passed me."

Rose smirked and pulled out a gun. Regan placed up a shield and a giant net was fired in her direction of the shield. It passed right through the shield and Regan attacked it with cross shaped aura streams. The attacks did nothing as it slammed her against the wall causing the breath out of her. She tried to cut it the best she could but nothing seemed to work against it. She struggled as her brothers tried to get near but the net shifted like a worm behind, under and over her. She fell to the ground unable to move with her swords glued to her sides. She shouted as her puzzle sunk into her skin in the same spot, "Fucking bastards." She snarled at them as the net started to glow in her aura's color like it was bathing in its blood.

"Now don't be like that." Rose told her.

"Fuck you."

"I told you so." She replied. Suddenly, Regan's aura was being ripped from her bringing the memories of the black sphere only a little more painful and she couldn't help but scream. It brought tears of pain to her eyes as it stopped after a short burst and she panted. Seto started towards her, but Rose clicked her tongue. "Don't touch her or I'll set it off again. Or you can just set it off by touching her."

Seto backed off as did Mokuba.

"Good job Rose." The man replied.

"You're welcome father, but what about these two?"

"We already have what we came here for; just get rid of the other two." The man said and turned to the three of them. "I'll wait for you outside with the luggage."

Rose nodded and pulled out a real gun and pointed it at Seto and Mokuba. She made them move back as Rose's father walked behind her and up to Regan. Seto and Mokuba stood in front of the fireplace by the time the man knelt down in front of her blocking her view of them. She glared trying to create a field around her, but it kept being absorbed by the net.

"Stop it before you hurt yourself little cocoon."

"I won't ever stop fighting back. You got that old broad." Regan spat.

"I think you will change your way of thinking over time." The man chuckled.

Regan glared then heard a very threatening hiss. She turned to it just as she saw Rose fly out of the room. Under her flying position was Phoenix running towards the leader. Seto ran out of the room avoiding the Egyptian Mao with his aura sword in hand. The cat jumped onto her back digging in the puzzle into her even more as he jumped to avoid the man's grasp. Regan heard a shout from above her as she winced in pain. If the cat wasn't as awesome as he was, she would have probably attempted to kill it and not succeed in any way possible in her state.

The man fell over and Regan could see blood appear above the cat as he clawed him. Roland suddenly appeared in the room with gun in hand followed by some police men. She planted her face into the floor. "Phoenix, enough, cops are here."

She heard the cat meow and the paws lightly hit the floor beside her. She smiled as the cat rubbed against her face the best he could. The police men grabbed the man and placed him on his chest. They grabbed the back of his arms and placed handcuffs on him.

"Faris Phono, you are arrested for attempted murder, breaking an entry, kidnapping and theft." One of the cops said as they picked him up.

The other cop turned to her and pulled out a knife and attempted to cut the rope. "What the hell?"

"Yea, that was my reaction personally." Regan replied and turned to Phoenix. "Hey, you want to try something for me?"

"You are talking to a cat Miss."

"That cat is like a dog, only it's a cat and does what it wants unless otherwise asked of something."

"I think whatever this net is doing to you is making you think strangely miss."

"The name's Regan, please stop using miss." She sighed starting to feel slightly light headed now that he mentioned it.

The cat walked over to her and stuck his tongue out at the officer. Regan shook her head as the cat's claws glistened in the fire and easily cut through the net. The police officer helped her out of the net and Regan glared at it for a moment before Phoenix jumped into her lap.

"That is some cat." He remarked.

She didn't pay much attention to him as she removed the puzzle out of her skin and started to pet the cat. "Remind me to scold you for jumping on me while I'm giving you treats." She turned her head to the officer. "Thank you."

"No problem Regan, just doing my job." The officer said and Regan heard footsteps behind her. "Mr. Kaiba, I'll take my leave now."

Regan turned to her brother with his sword in hand as he nodded and the officer left the room. The flashing light hit her in the eyes as she followed Seto with her eyes to the fireplace. He stuck the sword on the unit again. "This is going to hit the news isn't it?"

"Oh most definitely." Seto answered still looking away from her. "I wouldn't be surprised if there were news reports out there right now."

"I'm sorry."

"For what?" Seto turned to her.

"For causing so much trouble."

He laughed. "Really, that's what you're sorry for. You don't cause trouble, people- no; scums that want an ultimate weapon for their own reasons are the ones that cause trouble."

"Is that what I am though, just a weapon of destruction?" She asked him looking down at her cat that licked her face for the salt in her tears. "It's all I seem to get right and that I'm perfectly good at."

Seto looked at her and walked over to her. He stopped in front of her, knelt down and lifted her chin. Her eyes were level with his own and a small smile was planted on his face. "You aren't a weapon of destruction, if that's what you believe you aren't. How many times does that need to be drilled in your head? What you are is who you make yourself to be, not anyone else that tells you otherwise. Sure, you just crushed a building in the middle of Las Vegas, but why did you do it?"

"To keep whatever secrets that they had in there destroyed for everyone's sake." She replied.

"Does that make you a weapon of destruction, or does it make you someone who used their abilities to destroy something to protect the ones you care for as well as everyone else?"

She thought about it and then slowly stood up on her two feet with Phoenix in her arms. "I think I'm a bit of both. We are only human after all."

"That we are, now go get yourself fixed up, Alex should be right outside the doors."

"What about the media?"

"Let's give them a New Year's feast after the break, for now; I have a few calls to make."

She nodded and started to walk out of the room, and then a questioned formed in her head. "Why didn't the cops question anything? Like the glowing sword for example."

"Oh they question about the things they see." Seto started. "But they don't bother trying to figure out the answers do to your boyfriend and what happens in this city all the time. They just accept the things that they see and if they get curious then they might get the courage to ask about it."

"Then what happens?"

"They either get an answer from me or they don't, it depends on the question and who they are."

She thought about it and then walked out of the room. Phoenix moved to her shoulders again as Regan saw Alex at the bottom of the stairs. The security member waved with a first aid kit in her hand.

"Got yourself all banged up again huh?" Alex asked as they walked up the stairs.

"Yup, what else is new?" Regan hissed accidently moving the wrong way up the stairs.

"What's new is that your brother is calling everyone over for New Year's. The media outside will be coming in too once the mess is cleaned up."

"He's what… Oh for the love of god what is he planning?"

"Hell Regan, he is planning for everyone's hell if anything like this happens again."

"For some reason I am perfectly fine with that. Maybe the world will be a nicer place next year."

"I'm sure it will." Alex laughed in a care free manner.

Regan smiled and they walked into her bedroom.
