Yugi and the others had gotten word that something had happen at KaibaCorp and they ran to see what had happen. (Lets just say that the street gave way and they fell down into one of the the Tests Labs, that has a observation booth so the others could watch.)
Half a hour later, they arrived at the Kaiba Corporation complex. As
Yugi and the others rode the elevator downward, Yugi asked their
guide, "Where are we going?"
"To one of the test labs," the man replied tersely.
As soon as the elevator opened, they knew some sort of serious
accident must have occurred. The air reeked of smoke, people in white
labcoats milled around with anxious expressions, and much of the place
was illuminated by temporary lights. The far end of the corridor was
cordoned off and several security guards made sure that people kept
their distance.
A rather frazzled looking bearded scientist was waiting for them.
Without preliminaries, he said, "You must be Yugi Mutou."
"That's right, and these are my friends. Can you tell us what's going
on? Where's Mokuba? And what's happened to Kaiba?"
"I... think you better see for yourself," the scientist said,
escorting them into the cordoned off area. At the end of the hallway,
he opened a door and gestured for them to enter.
"Why does everybody keep saying that!?" Jounouchi complained loudly.
They walked into some sort of an observation booth that appeared
considerably worse for wear. The booth overlooked a test chamber that
resembled a major disaster area, complete with scorched and dented
walls, heaps of wreckage, and broken equipment.
And in the middle of the chamber lay a massive silvery white shape
with taloned wings -- a distinctly familiar white shape.
"Hey, that's the Blue Eyes White Dragon!" Jounouchi said.
Peering downward through the cracked observation window, Anzu said,
"Look, there's Mokuba! And a couple of strangers?!"
She was correct. Mokuba sat nestled between the Blue Eyes's front
legs. In one hand, Mokuba clutched a card deck. Even as they
watched, he reached out his free hand and gently patted the dragon's
great muzzle. The Blue Eyes responded by turning its head slightly
and very carefully nuzzled at the youngster. Even in the observation
booth, they could hear/feel the soft rumbling, like a distant freight
train. The dragon seems to be calm with the other two that is with him and Mokuba.
They watched the scene for a moment, then Jounouchi said, "Um, why is
Mokuba petting a hologram?"
The scientist took a deep breath, then said, "Because it's NOT a hologram."
The teenagers all froze, then whirled around to stare at the scientist.
"Say WHAT!?" they all shouted.
"The Blue Eyes White Dragon in that chamber is real. A genuine physical entity, capable of interacting with the real world. As you can see." The scientist pointed to several sets of extremely deep gouges in concrete and steel which they only now recognized as claw marks -- marks that exactly matched the huge scimitar-like claws on the Blue Eyes White Dragon's front and hind legs.
"Holy s**t!!!" yelped Jounouchi, his eyes going wide in shock.
Mokuba and the others, apparently unfazed by the fact that each of the Blue Eyes' fangs looked like they were about the size of thier head -- hair
included -- continued to pat the dragon with a desperately worried expression on his face.
"So, where's Kaiba?" Honda demanded, peering around the chamber.
Suddenly, the Blue Eyes White Dragon rose halfway to its feet and lifted its head until it could stare directly into the observation booth, its crystalline blue eyes glittering with barely restrained ferocity. But even as it arched its necked and hissed softly, Yugi couldn't help noticing how it took great care not to jostle Mokuba or the two strangers in any way.
(Aibou, that Blue Eyes...!) Yami whispered urgently to Yugi. (Do you
see the way it hovers so protectively over Mokuba and the two strangers?)
As he stared into those great gleaming blue eyes -- eyes that held not an iota of human awareness -- a horrible suspicion suddenly occurred to Yugi, a suspicion all too quickly confirmed by the scientist.
"According to Mr. Mokuba, that Blue Eyes White Dragon -IS- Seto
Kaiba." He heaved a great sigh before continuing. "Unfortunately, it
seems that the Blue Eyes doesn't know that."
"Oh man. I think we have a BIG problem," Jounouchi muttered as they
all, except for Yugi, involuntarily retreated a few steps.
