Yugioh: The Hope of Six

Chapter 13: Kaiba Arc - Part 3

As soon as the Duel was over, the remaining holograms vanished and all was quiet. Kaiba had shut off the speaker before turning to his head researcher. He looked very satisfied. "It would appear the first Action Duel of KaibaCorp was a success. The Monster holograms were interactive and the Action Cards worked as expected. Not to mention the random time placement for their appearances. Well done." The team smiled and bowed from his praise.

"Thank you, Mr. Kaiba. We are just as pleased about the outcome as you are." Said the head researcher. Kaiba nodded.

"Nothing seemed to have gone wrong at all." Yugi said.

"Agreed." Yusho added.

"What happens now since the test was successful?" Yuzu asked Kaiba, who thought a moment before answering.

"Starting tomorrow, we will begin producing more Action Disks with the perfected Action Duel program. When we have reached a high enough quantity, I will make an official announcement to the Duel Monsters gaming community about the upcoming release of our newest product. I trust that all of you will keep quiet about this until the announcement is made?" Yusho, Yugi, and Yuzu all nodded.

"Of course, Kaiba. We'll tell Yuya to do the same." Yugi told him.

"Good." Said his rival.

"What about my dad and Yuya's mom? Can we tell them? I'm sure they'll be mum about it too." Yuzu asked. Kaiba snorted.

"If they can resist spilling the beans, then let them in on it as well." He said, albeit reluctantly. This pleased the group.

"Everyone's gonna go nuts when they hear about it! Duelists new and old will definitely want a piece of this!" Mokuba said, excited for the upcoming day.

"No doubt they will." Kaiba then turned to Yusho. "I believe we are even now." Yusho nodded.

"Good to know that, Seto." He then looked down to see his son conversing with Pegasus. "Yuya will be excited about the news." He said with a smile.

"By the way Mr. Sakaki, Yuya is an awesome Duelist!" Mokuba praised.

"Thank you Mokuba. He certainly is." Said Yuya's father. Kaiba grunted.

'Yuya may have a unique Deck, but he will be no more of a challenge to me than Wheeler will. No one other than Yugi can match me in a Duel...' He told himself, convinced of his top tier skills.

"Kaiba... are you really going to let Yuya create his own Action Card?" Yuzu questioned. Kaiba merely smirked.

Right after Kaiba had shut off the speaker, Yuya ran toward Pegasus, who lay on his back following his defeat. "Pegasus! Are you okay?!" He asked, sounding very concerned. The older man looked up at him and smiled.

"I am fine, Yuya-boy. Your concern is very much appreciated." He replied before he got back up, dusting off his clothes in the process.

"Why did you redirect that last attack to yourself?" Yuya questioned. Pegasus had put a hand over his heart.

"I couldn't handle seeing another of my Toon Monsters taking a hit, so I took it instead. Plus, it wouldn't have mattered if I didn't. I would've lost any way." He then held out his hand. "Congratulations on your outstanding performance. It truly was a pleasure dueling you today." A happy Yuya shook his hand and nodded.

"Thank you, Pegasus. I feel the same. That Action Duel was actually pretty fun, despite how Kaiba changed it." He admitted.

"It certainly was. So tell me, my boy... is there anything else about Pendulum Monsters I should know about?" Pegasus asked, curious. Yuya figured it wouldn't hurt to say something.
