Wolfie: I do not own anything related to Yu-Gi-Oh. All I own is Yuki and all plot alterations I make to add her into the story. Now just to make things clear I have Yuki call Seto by his first name now because I just like it that way and cause I think it shows that she's already crushing on him, end of story. Also I know that the anime said that Pegasus was drinking fruit juice but seriously he drinks it out of wine glasses and is an adult. It is wine. Also really quick announcement that I need you to see. I will not be changing anything related to Yami/Atemu. So if you thought he was getting gender bent or changed as well then you are totally wrong. Now please read and review and I hope you enjoy the book so far.

Chapter 16: Duel with a Ghost

"Ha ha ha! Yuki, you don't have a ghost of a chance beating Kaiba because this time he is a ghost." Kemo taunted as he had put Mokuba down but kept a tight grip on his wrist so he doesn't run away.

"A ghost? What is this, Ghostbusters?" Yami Yuki asked still not believing Kemo since that would mean that Seto is, dead.

"Stop it, Kemo!" Mokuba snapped since he also didn't want to believe what Kemo was saying.

"It's a fact. 2 witnesses saw him fall to his doom." Kemo stated clearly enjoying this as everyone but him and Evil Seto gasp.

"Liar! Take back what you said!" Mokuba yelled since there was no way that his brother is dead.

"Get used to it. All that's left of Kaiba are your memories. Plus, a very cranky ghost just looking for revenge." Kemo said with a smirk as he looks up towards Evil Kaiba honestly waiting for Mokuba to start crying.

"I call bullshit, it's not him!" Yami Yuki stated now that she is over the initial shock that she had.

"Yeah! Not even Kaiba can look that damn creepy!" Yugi exclaimed accepting the fact that while his sister is like this he can cure all he wants and not get in trouble.

"Well, he's seen better days. It's time to duel with the ghoul." Kemo said still smirking as he knows something that no one else does.

"It just can't be! That guy's nothing but a total fake, a cheap, ugly knock off by Pegasus. Mokuba, don't worry. I will win your freedom. Then we will find your brother." Yami Yuki promised as she was sticking to the fact that that Seto Kaiba is fake.

Meanwhile unbeknownst to Yami Yuki she was being spied on by a hidden camera. This camera showed what was happening in real time to one person up in the castle. As usual that one person was Maximilian Pegasus as he sat in his dinning room. He sat there doing absolutely nothing besides drinking wine at the head of his table. Occasionally he would have some cheese or fruit but other than that it is just nothing but wine. Sometimes he'll read but even when he is doing that he always has a glass of wine in his hand. Though currently he had a cup of wine in his hand but it was left untouched for the moment as he laughs like a madman.

"This is extremely entertaining! I just love reality TV." Pegasus said as he was watching Yami Yuki on the monitor in his dinning room.

"Who is Yuki dueling?" The goon, now labeled as Croquet, next to the billionaire asked curiously as he looked at him.

"It's Kaiba- what's left of him. The poor boy had shown so much promise." Pegasus mused as he slightly looks up at the ceiling.

"But now he's- it's- here. How did you do that?" Croquet questioned in shock and disbelief at what his boss can do.

"I really can't take all the credit. I had help from Yuki. And now, to return the favor, I'm going to teach her a lesson about the real power of the Millennium items." Pegasus said as his remaining eye looked at the monitor infront of him once again.

Down at the arena Yami Yuki got up onto her side as she looked at Evil Seto with a frown. There was no way this was actually what was left of the real Seto Kaiba. Sure she doesn't know the young CEO as well as Mokuba but she does know one thing. During her last two encounters with Seto it is obvious that he does not give up easily especially when he wants something. Now it may sound a bit morbid to assume something like this but she doubted that the older Kaiba would just fall to his death. There had to be more to the story and whatever that is made her have a really bad gut feeling. Like the kind of gut feeling that makes someone feel like there was an attempt at murder but are uncertain if it happened or not.

"Yuki, you look like you've seen a ghost." Evil Seto said in that same sinister tone that he had before.

"Oh shut up." Yami Yuki snapped hating how this Seto's voice sent shivers down her spine, and not the good ones.

"I am no longer of this world, and it's all because of you." Evil Seto said causing Yami Yuki to growl in response to him blaming her. "I could have had it all, but when you beat me, you took more than just the match. You stole my life and destroyed my soul." He said with a creepy smirk still ever present on his face.

"You're nothing but an impostor, a sham, so quit with the lies and lets get this duel started." Yami Yuki said as she was done with hearing all of the lies that this Seto has to say.

"Fine with me. This time, you won't beat my cards." Evil Seto said as his dull, lifeless eyes narrowed slightly.

"Sure you may look like Seto, but there's no way you'd be able to imitate his deck." Yami Yuki said because there's no way this impostor could have Seto's real deck.

"You mean my deck." Evil Seto corrected causing Yami Yuki to growl again.

"Beat him, Yuki. He's nothing but a fake!" Mokuba called out encouragingly from his spot next to Kemo.

"Yeah. That ghost don't even look like Kaiba." Joey stated despite the fact that that was totally not true.

"That's right. Wait, I mean, it's not a ghost, and it's not Kaiba." Tea rambled as Yami Yuki gave them an 'are you serious?' look as she blinks.

"Get him, Yuki!" Tristan added since he's got nothing better to say.

"You beat him before sis, you can do it again!" Yugi reassured as he once again pulled out his Yuki banner from... somewhere.

'Yuki, I know you can hear me. I know you can sense my thoughts, and I know that you can see the truth. I am Seto, but this time, you're dueling someone who has nothing to lose.' Evil Seto projected his thoughts with his usual smirk as this causes Yami Yuki to grit her teeth. "Kemo, once I beat Yuki, Pegasus can have Kaiba Corporation. All I want is revenge." He said to a stoic Kemo who gained a half smirk half grin at this new information. "3 stars says I win." Evil Seto stated as he held up the dueling glove that is on his hand.

"Fine with me. That mean's when this duel's done, I'll have 6 star chips!" Yami Yuki said as she held up her own glove to show her 3 remaining star chips.

"Let's duel." Evil Seto stated as he was ready to get his so called revenge against Yami Yuki as the duel officially starts. "Guess I'll go first. Heh. And I'll start off with the Hitotsu-Me Giant." He said as he puts the card into play and a familiar one eyed green giant appears on the field with a roar.

"No way..." Yami Yuki uttered as she looked up at the towering form of the giant as she got a deja vu feeling.

"Mmm. Is something wrong? It's your turn to move, Yuki." Evil Seto reminded as his giant growls with his mouth open.

'The Hitotsu-Me Giant is the monster that Seto used to start our last duel. Maybe it's just a coincidence though...' Yami Yuki thought since Hitotsu-Me Giant wasn't that uncommon of a card to see.

"There's a card just like that in my brother's deck." Mokuba said softly as he looked up at the card that had been played by the so called fake Seto.

"Hey, just 'cause it's the same card doesn't mean it's the same deck." Joey snapped as he turned towards Mokuba with quite a harsh look on his face.

'This poser is trying to confuse me by doing the same opening move that Seto used, but sadly for him it'll have the same results as last time.' Yami Yuki thought with gritted teeth before her lips dawned a frown as she drew a card. "I'll start my move with this card. Dark Magician! With an attack of 2,500!" She called out as she played the card and her faithful purple cladded magician appears on the field. "Dark Magic attack!" Yami Yuki ordered as her Dark Magician thrusted his hand towards the giant as his magic attack makes him shatter piece by piece. "Welp, so much for your ugly green giant." She said as the destruction of the Hitotsu-Me Giant took away most of Evil Seto's life points.

Evil Seto: 700 Yuki: 2,000

"You're as strong as ever, Yuki." Evil Seto said with a laugh as he just shrugs off what happened.

"Did you see that? That carbon copy Kaiba is laughin'." Joey stated clearly not happy that Evil Seto is laughing about practically everything.

"It's funny how things have come full circle, Yuki. What are you thinking in that feeble brain of yours right now? I bet I know. You've come to the conclusion that no matter what, there's no way you can win, and you couldn't be more right. Even a simpleton like you now knows that I must be Seto Kaiba, and once you accept that fact, you may as well accept defeat." Evil Seto said making the same mistake that the original Seto made which was to underestimate Yami Yuki.

"I don't give a damn who you are, you're going to lose this duel to me either way." Yami Yuki said as she wasn't about to let the 'is this Seto?' dilemma stop her from winning Mokuba's freedom.

"But, Yuki, you barely beat me the last time we dueled. And this time, your big advantage is gone." Evil Seto remarked as he hung his head making Yami Yuki unable to see his facial expression.

"What the fuck do you mean?" Yami Yuki asked in confusion since practically no one knows what happened in her's and Seto's duel.

"Heh heh. Exodia. You've lost Exodia." Evil Seto revealed causing Yami Yuki to gasp since no one here is supposed to know that she no longer has Exodia. "You could only beat me with Exodia in your deck. And without it, you can only lose." He assumed with a laugh as the heterochromic eyed girl glares at him.

However back in Domino City at the lavish Kaiba Mansion a certain young CEO was hidden from view of the guards behind a tree. He was watching the two goons at the gate out of his peripheral vision as they stood guard. They were obviously goon's hired by Pegasus to make sure no uninvited guests try to get onto the property. Or in this case they are there to make sure he doesn't try to get back onto his own property. Now since the fact that he is there instead of in a watery grave that means that he is very much alive.


Flashback beginning


"Get him!" Goon 2 shouted just as Seto took his brief case and jumped out the window that was behind his desk.

"Nobody could survive a fall like that." Goon 1 said as they looked out the broken window down at the water and rocks below the cliff.

Unbeknownst to them a certain young CEO had not only survived but was climbing back up over the cliff. With his brief case still in hand Seto grunted as he pulled himself up with one hand. Managing to at least get his upper body somewhat over the ledge he took a small break to catch his breath. They think he is dead so he could most definitely afford a few minutes of time to catch his breath. Though this also means that Pegasus may think he is dead which is a bonus for what he was now planning.


Flashback ending


After a few more minutes of scoping out the goons at the door Seto quietly walks away without being noticed. Walking around the property to the area that has what he needs he climbs over the stone wall as swiftly and silently as possible. Rushing over to what just seemed to be grass he took hold of a hidden handle and began pulling. As he pulled a chain came up from within the grass and as he pulled more the ground began to come up. It was a hidden door in the ground that revealed stairs that were a hidden entrance that led inside the house. Now that Seto had successfully snuck into his own home he immediately went into the library. Once in there he pulled on a certain green book that was on the wall of book shelves.

Pulling on this book caused the shelves to split apart revealing a secret door behind them. The door itself was very high tech with with an eye scanner to unlock the door. Stepping up to the scanner Seto put his face up close to it as it scans his left eye. With a few beeps the door unlocks and slides open allowing the young CEO to come inside. The room itself had three chairs, three control monitors, and three massive computer screens built into the walls. They took up what limited space the room had as Seto busies himself with turning everything on. The computer came to life with a with a mechanical hum as Seto put on a microphone headset and sat in the middle chair facing the middle screen.

"Running identity verification protocol. Please state your name." A female voice from the computer said as a smaller screen played his 'Seto Kaiba' screen saver.

"Seto Kaiba." Seto stated as he looked at the smaller screen that was infront of him as the computer processed his name.

"I thought I'd seen it all, but having to break into your own house?" The computer remarked gaining a sassy tone to her voice as the three bigger monitors light up with his 'Seto Kaiba' screen saver.

"It's too long a story for right now." Seto said as he looked up at the bigger computer screen.

"Too long a story? Well, maybe I'm not in such a talkative mood myself right now." The computer said as the bigger screen saver disappeared.

"I'd find that hard to believe." Seto sated bluntly as smaller versions of the screen saver soon filled up the screen.

"Such a smart guy. While you were off gallivanting, a hostile takeover of Kaiba Corporation has begun." The computer explained as she showed Seto a picture of Kaiba Corp before cutting to a stats page of sorts.

"I know." Seto uttered bluntly since he had already figured that much out on the way here.

"At the same time, Maximilian Pegasus kicked off his Duel Monsters championship at the Duelist Kingdom." The computer explained as she showed Seto a picture of Pegasus and his island. "If Yuki Muto can be defeated by Pegasus, or a competitor that represents him, then the new Kaiba Corporation board has promised him control of the company." She said as she showed him a picture of Yuki whilst relaying the gravity of the situation.

"He won't win. Yuki's unbeatable. Her deck has Exodia." Seto said as he remembered all to well how he was defeated by that card.


Flashback beginning


With a smirk on her face Yami Yuki show's Seto the card that she was holding. The head of Exodia which was the last piece of the puzzle needed to summon the unstoppable monster. With all five pieces assembled on the field she was able to bring for the hulking Egyptian monster. He towered over the field and the three Blue Eyes White Dragons as he awaited his commands. All while Seto could do nothing but stand there in disbelief at what was unfolding before his very eyes. No one has ever been able to summon the unstoppable Exodia during a duel before. Yet this little amateur not only had all five cards but was able to summon him in a duel as well!

"Exodia, obliterate!" Yami Yuki ordered as Exodia shot a beam of golden light at the three dragons completely destroying them.

"Aah!" Seto yelled as he was unable to look away from the blinding light that was destroying his dragons.


Flashback ending


"Yeah, well, sometime after you lost to Yuki, she lost Exodia." The computer revealed and how she knew this was a mystery to everyone but her.

"No way!" Seto exclaimed in disbelief before looking down with a groan since he had hoped he could crush Yuki and prove that Exodia can be beat.

"When it rains, it pours. Pegasus knows all about the corporation bylaws that require a living Kaiba heir to make any change of control legal." The computer said as Seto looked on in horror as a picture of his little brother appeared on the screen. "Mokuba's his prisoner, and with you out of the way, it's likely Pegasus will exert all kinds of pressure to make your brother do what he wants, one way or another. So, now you know. What are we gonna do?" She asked hoping that the now internally pissed off CEO had some kind of plan.

"...They'll keep my brother safe, at least until the takeover's complete. So, I've got to make sure Pegasus doesn't defeat Yuki in a duel no matter what." Seto said since it was his job to defeat Yuki in a duel and no one else's. "I'm not gonna give up Kaiba Corporation without a real fight. It's takeover time by me. We're going to hack right into Pegasus's computer mainframe. Next stop, the Duelist Kingdom!" He stated as he was going to prevent things from happening the only way he can at the moment.

Back at the island Yami Yuki still had the advantage over Evil Seto in their duel. He has 700 life points whilst she still has all 2,000 of her life points. Evil Seto currently had no monsters to protect him whilst she still has her Dark Magician. It was looking like this duel would be over in two turns and that Mokuba would be safe soon. Though Yami Yuki knew to never make assumptions when it comes to duels in Duel Monsters. It usually never ends well for the person that is making the assumption about the duel.

"Oh for crying out loud! Are you here to play mind games or Duel Monsters? Seriously, just shut up and make your move." Yami Yuki hissed out because she was tired of having Evil Seto waist precious dueling time with talking.

"And it's going to blow your mind. This next card's a blast from the past, Yuki... With the emphasis on blast." Evil Seto said as he held up a card and turned it in her direction revealing it to be a Blue Eyes White Dragon.

"Holy shit!" Yami Yuki yelled as her eyes widened when she saw the all too familiar dragon card.

"I attack with the Blue Eyes White Dragon." Evil Seto declared as he put the card onto field as the dragon appears with a spine-chilling roar.

"No way!" Yugi shouted when he saw the dragon that he has seen his sister summon once before.

"Only one other deck besides Yuki's has got that card." Joey said as him, Tea, and Tristan look at the dragon in shock and disbelief.

"That means, what they say- could it be true?" Mokuba asked as he was now confused as to if his brother is alive or if he's really dead.

"Look's like the advantage is mine." Evil Seto said with a laugh since his dragon has 500 more attack points than Yami Yuki's magician.

'So this really is Seto's deck. There's no other way to explain how he has a Blue Eyes card. But does that mean Seto- Seto is really-?' Yami Yuki's train of thought was broken before she could finish that thought.

"Don't worry, Yuki. My feelings weren't hurt when you called me a liar. Now admit that you were wrong." Evil Seto ordered as Yami Yuki only gave a small scoff in response to that as he chuckles. "Not having a real body isn't so bad. You would not believe what I save in food bills alone. But I still get to enjoy the finer things in life, like revenge, and I'm going to savor its sweet taste for a very long time." He said making it seem like he actually enjoyed being "dead".

"Shut up! Please, someone make him go away! Make him go away!" Mokuba cried as his little heart couldn't take anymore of this fake Seto and how he's so unlike his actual brother.

"Heh. Almost breaks my heart- if I had one." Evil Seto said clearly not caring about the distress that he was putting Mokuba through.

Whilst this was going on the real and still very alive Seto Kaiba was still in the hidden room in his library. He was helping the AI of his computer as they hack into Pegasus's mainframe like he said they would. The young CEO was determined to make sure that no goon or duelist working for Pegasus is able to beat Yuki. Firstly because he doesn't want some punk to be able to beat Yuki because her deck isn't at full power. Secondly because he wanted to be the one to duel her and hopefully win against her and win back his reputation. Lastly because he wanted to see that defiant and courageous spark in her beautiful heterochromic eyes. That last thought made him blush slightly but he quickly ignored for now it as the computer began to speak.

"We've easily broken through the Duelist Kingdom computer system." The computer announced as rectangles connected to each other appeared on the picture of Duelist Kingdom with flashing lights in the middle of them.

"Too easy. Ok. When it comes to computer duels, Pegasus has met his match. Now it should be a piece of cake to find the field in which Yuki is dueling." Seto said as he knew his trusty computer would get the memo as to what he wanted her to do.

"I'm lookin', I'm lookin'." The computer remarked as a blue progress bar popped up onto the screen. "Access denied?!" She exclaimed in disbelief as a prohibited symbol with a pink toon bunny in red overalls and yellow socks popping out of it appeared over the progress bar.

"What did you do wrong?" Seto asked accusingly as he stood up from his chair.

"Don't blame me. I finally found the security, and it's all around Yuki's data." The computer explained with an offended tone at the fact that Seto was blaming her.

"Ah, I should've known." Seto uttered with a sigh before a smirk comes to his face at this unspoken challenge. "Go ahead and give it your best shot. There isn't a computer system anywhere on earth that I can't break into. Here's the thing: every computer has a back door if you know where to look. And guess where we're gonna look." He stated as if he expected the computer to just read his thoughts and know what he is talking about.

"Beats me." The computer said and if she had shoulders she would be shrugging right now.

"It'll be quicker if I take over on manual for a while." Seto said as his fingers expertly typed away at the keyboard infront of him. "Data from all the duels is being beamed from the island to an orbiting Industrial Illusions satellite and back down to their mainframe." He explained as a triangle diagram involving the island, a satellite, and the Industrial Illusions tower appears on the screen. "These transmissions are obviously highly encrypted. If we can somehow force the Industrial Illusions computer off-line, I'm sure their backup systems won't have as much security." Seto said as the computer finally caught on to what he was saying.

"Are you sayin' we can make their computer crash... from here? But how?" The computer asked wondering how Seto was going to pull off something like that.

"A computer crash is exactly what I had in mind. The biggest computer crash ever. And I'm going to use Pegasus's own satellite to do it." Seto said as he was confident that he could pull off this forced computer crash.

"But I've already tried to hack into their systems." The computer said since if her attempt to hack their systems didn't work then how was Seto's attempt supposed to work?

"My idea's different. Once the security is down, we should be able to freely access the data. Be ready with a search for the Dark Magician." Seto stated knowing that Yuki has that card in her deck.

"Gotcha. Dark Magician inquiry loaded and standing by." The computer said as she added a picture of the Dark Magician card to the top left corner of the screen.

"Good. If Yuki's dueling, she's sure to use that card." Seto said since he's become obsessed enough to try and predict what monsters Yuki may use.

"So spill it already. How the hell are we going to use Industrial Illusion's own satellite to bring down their computer?" The computer asked curiously since she really wanted to know how Seto would pull this off.

"By bringing down the satellite itself- down all the way!" Seto said as he enlarged just the satellite part of the picture itself as it turned into a schematic outline.

"Loading satellite schematics. M-class Triton series. Booster rocket controls online. Locating orbital coordinates." The computer said as a video feed from space showed the located satellite and a picture of metal doors with the words 'Keep out' pop up on the screen. "Breaching onboard computer security." She said as a progress bar appears infront of those doors as the locks turn and the door soon slides open. "You are now the proud owner of an Industrial Illusions satellite." The computer stated as Seto now had unimpeded access to the satellite.

"Great. Now plot a crash course for the computer mainframe." Seto said as the perfect way to crash the computer was to literally break the mainframe.

"Uploading new coordinates now." The computer said as the satellite's rocket boosters fired up and sent it speeding towards the mainframe tower. "We are locked on target for the computer." She said as she showed Seto just what she was talking about.

"Hmm. Virus software won't stop this. Pegasus! You're on notice that the Kaiba Corporation's still mine!" Seto declared fiercely as he looked at the screen awaiting the satellites impact.

"Satellite impact in 10 seconds." The computer announced as it didn't take long for the satellite to hit its target with a bang.

Whilst this was going on there was a stalemate between Yami Yuki and Evil Seto. Neither of them had made a move since the Blue Eyes White Dragon had been summoned to the field. Yami Yuki was simply frozen in shock with her mouth agap as she looks at the dragon. Meanwhile Evil Seto insisted on maniacally laughing at the fact that things were going his way. After all there was no way his opponent had a monster stronger than his dragon. It was physically impossible now that she no longer had all the pieces of Exodia.

"I won't attack just yet. Why rush the victory when I can draw it out as long as possible instead?" Evil Seto said as he took a card from his hand and put it face down on the field behind his dragon.

'Hmm? There's probably more to it than that. He's hiding some sort of magic card behind his dragon, I just know it!' Yami Yuki thought as she had to make a split-second decision when it comes to her monster. "Dark Magician, we're going on the defensive now." She said as she turned the card causing her magician to switch to a kneeling position. "And I summon Curse of Dragon in defense mode as well." Yami Yuki added as she placed that card in defense mode as well causing her dragon to appear with its wings curled around itself in defense.

"Smart playing, Yuki. Unfortunately, it wasn't smart enough. You played right into my hand." Evil Seto said as he revealed his face down to be a trap card of a knight with a shield with a big white x over him. "Defense paralysis!" He declared causing Yami Yuki's eyes to widen in shock.

"A trap! Dammit why didn't I consider it to be that?" Yami Yuki asked as she watched the trap take effect forcing her two monsters back into attack mode.

"Hmm, now all your monster cards on the field have been switched into attack mode." Evil Seto stated causing Tea to gasp as if she's never heard of this happening before.

"Yuki!" Mokuba called out in worry because destroying both her monsters would probably wipe out all of Yami Yuki's life points

'Shit with that Defense Paralysis card in play, none of my monsters can defend themselves. I've gotta think of a way out of this.' Yami Yuki thought as she had to find some way to beat this dragon and fast!

"Ha! It's time! Blue Eyes White Dragon, use your White Lightning!" Evil Seto ordered as his dragon opened its maw and shot a beam of white light and electricity at Curse of Dragons and destroyed it.

"Ahh!" Yami Yuki yelled as she had to shield her eyes from the blinding light that was destroying her dragon.

"Well, so much for your Curse of Dragon." Evil Seto stated in amusement since Yami Yuki was helpless to stop his dragons attacks.

"Yuki!" Joey and Mokuba shouted in concern since that attack took a big chunk out of Yami Yuki's life points.

"Big sis!" Yugi yelled in concern as well as he clutched at his Yuki banner till his knuckles turned white.

Evil Seto: 700 Yuki: 1,000

Simultaneously as the attack happened Seto's computer was now inside the system and was looking through the duels. She was searching every arena pulling up the digital layout of the field and what cards are in play at the moment. So far she has not found any duels containing the Dark Magician but she wasn't going to stop yet. Therefore she just moved onto searching the next arena whilst Seto watched from his chair with his chair. They had just finished finished searching arena 530 and once again they did not find the desired card they were searching for. Though they have only been searching for 5 minutes so of course they haven't found anything yet.

"No Dark Magician there. Next field." Seto said as the screen moved to what looked to be a green hallway with a light up floor.

"We've exhausted almost every possibility of locating Yuki Muto." The computer revealed as the screen closed in on a door that was at the end of a deadened hallway on the screen.

"Huh?" Seto asked as he looked at the door that was now on his screen.

"Field 146 is the final active duel." The computer stated as she could not find any more duels to search through.

"Then she's gotta be there. Search field 146." Seto quickly insisted as this was his last chance to find Yuki's duel.

"You got it." The computer said as she tried to enter the door to the duel only to have the screen glitch and gain transparent snow over the image for a second as it freezes.

"What's that?!" Seto asked as he watches as the screen continues to glitch.

"Looks like I crashed." The computer said as the image on the screen keeps glitching despite her no longer trying to enter the field.

"Reboot." Seto stated as the screens image went a few shades darker for a moment.

"Back online." The computer said as the image brightened and stopped glitching out.

"Enter field 146." Seto repeated as his computer tries to enter the field once more.

"I'm frozen again." The computer said as the screen glitches and freezes once again.

"Huh?" Seto inquired completely gobsmacked at the fact that this has happened twice.

"It's worse this time." The computer said getting a bit frustrated that this is happening.

"Hang on. Watch this." Seto said as he started typing on the keyboard as he soon found out the problem. "Gotcha. Just as I thought." He mused as his smaller screen showed him Duelist Kingdom, a picture of Pegasus, and a red x flashing over the picture of the Dark Magician card. "So, a virus, a good one. That means just one thing. Searching for Yuki's cards activates the virus. Yuki's inside. Get ready to go in." Seto stated as he had yet another plan in the works.

"But the security door!" The computer exclaimed since that door was preventing them from getting in.

"We've come this far already, and I'm not gonna blow it! Actually, yes I am." Seto said as he had T.N.T. infront of the door as a progress bar completely loads causing an explosion on the screen. "Huh? What's that?!" He asked when the smoke cleared revealing a fortress in the middle of the ocean on the screen instead of the field.

"It's a virtual fortress. Sensors indicate that all of the data from Yuki's duels is processed here. You won't blow your way through this thing. It's the ultimate defense, and it's impossible to penetrate without the password." The computer explained a she zoomed in on the thick slightly rusted iron doors of the fortress.

"Hmm, a password. If I know Pegasus, that egomaniac would never think that anyone would outsmart him and get even this far. We're going in!" Seto declared as he had a feeling this next part would be a piece of cake.

"The password?" The computer asked because she just told Seto that they needed a password to get in.

"Ha! Pegasus." Seto stated as if it was the most obvious password for Pegasus to have.

Back at the duel Evil Seto was looking at Yami Yuki smugly as one more attack would wipe her out. His dragon was standing tall and proud as it waited for the next time that it would get to attack. Meanwhile Dark Magician was standing in an almost protective way infront of Yami Yuki as he awaited her orders. Seemingly not knowing that he was much weaker than the Blue Eyes White Dragon. Yami Yuki had to admit if she wasn't focused on the duel she would question as to why her monster was standing protectively. After all he's a Duel Monster and he can only do certain things during a duel, right?

"Ha." Evil Seto laughed as he knows he has Yami Yuki backed into a corner right now.

'How am I supposed to beat his Blue Eyes White Dragon?' Yami Yuki wondered as she stood there with her mouth still slightly agap.

"Ha ha ha! Yuki, you gotta admit for a stiff this Kaiba's sure got game!" Kemo taunted with a grin as he was very entertained right now.

"That's not my brother! There's just no way!" Mokuba protested as he grabbed at Kemo's suit jacket with his free hand. "Yuki, you know that's not him. Everyone thinks he's a bad guy, but I know my brother, and he's not mean like this. He's my best friend in the whole world. That thing's not him! Uhh! You just gotta believe me!" He exclaimed with tears in his eyes as this pulled at Yami Yuki's, her friends, and her brothers heart strings as they look at him.

'I want to believe you Mokuba, but right now I'm not sure what to believe. What I do know for sure, is that this duel is not over yet.' Yami Yuki thought as she took hold of a card that was in her hand. "Magical Hats!" She stated as she put a magic card depicting magician hats with checkered ribbons and question marks into play. "Conceal the Dark Magician!" Yami Yuki called out as four hats appear on the field as her magician disappears from view.

"Huh?" Evil Seto asked as he lost his smirk at the fact that he can no longer see his next target.

"He's under there somewhere, but which one is the mystery." Yami Yuki said as this would hopefully buy her enough time to form a plan of attack.

"Hmm. Are you so desperate that you have your Dark Magician doing simple hat tricks?" Evil Seto asked since this was just a stupid attempt at buying time and wasn't going to stop him for long.

"It's not so simple nor is it a trick. Your move douche-bag, but I'd think twice before I choose if I were you. Just do the math man. 4 hats with only a 25% chance of finding the Dark Magician." Yami Yuki said as Evil Seto was clearly not amused by any of this. "However the real question is, what else is hidden beneath the hats?" She asked as the supposedly dead CEO's eyes narrowed before widening as he gasped.

"Way to go, Yuki! Hey, that's what I like to call pullin' one outta your hat!" Joey praised as he was happy with the move his friend had made.

"All right!" Mokuba stated with a gasp as he was looking at Yami Yuki with amazement shining in his eyes.

Meanwhile Seto's computer had finished putting in the password that she was told to use. In response to the password the virtual fortress's thick iron doors slowly swung open. This meant that the password was indeed Pegasus's name and that Seto had hit the nail on the head with his assumption. Now they had access to all of the data surrounding Yuki and her duels at the Duelist Kingdom. It was almost too good to be true in the sense that they have access to this and no one has noticed the break in.

"You were right about the password. The virtual fortress is unlocked. We now have access to Yuki's data, and it was just her turn." The computer said as the screen was zooming into the dark void behind the fortresses door.

"Pegasus thinks he can make up all the rules in this game, but he could never have imagined this brand-new twist. I'm back!" Seto said as his cobalt blue eyes narrowed as they gaze at the screen.

Back with Yami Yuki's duel it was once again a stalemate between the two opponents. Evil Seto has yet to make a choice as to which hat to attack as his dragon looks at them. Meanwhile it was just a staring contest between Yami Yuki and her opponent as she waits for the next attack. If it hits the correct hat then she will lose this duel and Mokuba will be a prisoner again. However if it hits the wrong hat then she is safe for another turn and can continue to plan. She so desperately hopes that when the attack happens it hits the wrong hat because she has too much riding on this to lose.

"Hmm, so predictable. I know where the Dark Magician hides." Evil Seto stated smugly with his eyes closed and a hand on his hip.

"If you're so positive that you know, then pick a hat." Yami Yuki said because at this point in time talk is cheap.

"It's a shame this duel's going to end so soon. White Lightning!" Evil Seto bellowed as his dragon shot its attack towards the hats.

'Don't hit the right hat, don't hit the right hat!' Yami Yuki chanted in her mind as if that would change the outcome of the speedily approaching attack.
