title change, check it! haha
As soon as you hit the 'go ahead' button, you could tell right away that this trial was unlike any you'd conducted before. Something in the Duel Disc had enough power to cause tremors all across the lab, the unsettling sound of test tubes clinking in a sporadic rhythm making your ears ring.
Uncertainly, you backed towards the door, unsure of what to do. It was only when the glass cube exploded, flinging deadly icicles in every direction, that you finally moved, covering your head and face with your arms whilst dropping to the ground. Thankfully, the two arrows that had come hurtling in your direction shattered against the reinforced lab door, creating a shower of glass dust that fell on you harmlessly.
The shuddering suddenly stopped, and you seized the opportunity to escape, keeping low to the floor as you couldn't help but cast one last mournful look at the stacks of paper that had unfortunately been impaled and consequently shredded.
The door finally slid open with a quiet hiss, and you wasted no time at all, feet thudding in time to the rapid thumping in your chest.
'Thank fuck that everyone's already gone home,' you had time to think, right before you nearly crashed into Naomi.
"What do you think you're doing?" She accused, "Kaiba Corporation has a very clear rule on unsophisticated behaviour!" You didn't like her tone, nor the finger she pointed in your face.
Thankfully, at that very moment Kaiba himself appeared, briefcase held firmly in his grip. His brow furrowed as he saw you stood outside the elevator in a standoff with his assistant.
"What do you think you're doing?" He turned to Naomi, unknowingly using her own words against her, but so much more effectively.
The fuschia lipped woman opened her mouth to speak, but before she could utter a word, to her great dismay, the CEO caught a glimpse of the glass dust on your shoulders as it reflected the cold light of the office.
Immediately he put two and two together, and, knowing that something important had happened, dismissed his assistant wordlessly.
"Come." He demanded before striding along the corridor at a ridiculous pace. Once again, you rued the day the universe blessed Seto Kaiba with such long legs as you jogged to keep up, nodding slightly out of courtesy to the deflated assistant.
During the walk (or rather run) you caught your boss up on what had occurred when you'd tested the Duel Disc against his new technology. He didn't seem particularly surprised that out of all test subjects, the Duel Disc was the one to display an incredible reaction. After all, that was his own personal invention.
As you arrived at your lab's door, a sense of uneasiness crept through your bones, gnawing at your resolve to get to the bottom of these strange events.
"What are you waiting for?" Kaiba raised an eyebrow, clearly expecting you to open the door for him.
"Are you not authorised to enter?" As soon as the words left your mouth, you wished they hadn't.
"For an intelligent woman, you ask incredibly stupid questions." A small sneer tugged at the corner of his lips, and something in the way he glared down at you seemed to say: 'We're not friends. I'm your boss. Remember that.'
As if to prove a point, Kaiba slid his hand across the keypad, swiftly scanning his retina and stepping back as the door opened with a hiss.
The lab was a mess. A stationary war had seemingly occurred, with staplers having been slammed against the wall, pencils shattered, pens exploded and nearly everything else in the room having been destroyed.
The state of your beloved lab was nearly enough to distract you from its new main attraction.
"He... He wasn't there when I left."
reckon I lost the cover photo so even tho I've changed the title, the cover will still have the old shitty name on it lol, either until I find it in the depths of my camera roll or I remake it lmao XD
