Yugioh: The Hope of Six

Chapter 15: Kaiba Arc - Part 5

"Got it! We won't fail you!" As soon as the connection with Noah was terminated, the man turned to his three teammates. He was tall and lean, wearing a dark green military uniform. "You heard him! Our targets will be here shortly! Sound off!" He ordered. His squad obediently complied as they slipped on some high tech looking vests and picked up small laser guns.

"Bob McGuire, aka "Black", ready to go!" Said a dark skinned man with a long dark mustache that stretched down to beneath his chin. He wore a darker uniform and sounded eager to get started.

"Zoey Lancaster, codenamed "Blue", ready to go!" Called out a confidant blonde haired woman.

"Zack Bond, "Gray", is at your service." Said the dark haired final man in a much quieter voice. Unlike the others, he dressed in a black suit that didn't seem suited for warfare. Still, their team leader knew better than to underestimate his skills... as well as his other teammates.

"Good! And I, Johnny "Red" Gayle, am leading this charge!" He then turned to the door in front of them. "Once that door opens, its open season for our enemies! Remember our orders and they'll be down in no time! Understood?"

"Yes sir!" They all said loud and clear. Their leader nodded and smiled with anticipation.

"I can feel it. This is gonna be good."

As they rode the elevator to Death T-1, Yugi, Yuya, Joey, Tristan, Tèa, and Serenity all felt angered and disgusted by Noah's actions. None of them could believe he actually shot Mokuba dead. Yuya clinched a fist and hit the wall. "Why? Why didn't we do anything to save Mokuba?!" He shouted in anguish.

"There wasn't anything we could have done, Yuya." Yugi told him, sounding calm despite how he felt.

"Yeah, none of us saw it coming... especially since it was all dark when it happened." Joey added.

"But I thought Aqua had a plan to protect him? What went wrong?" Serenity asked, still very shaken by what she witnessed.

"Maybe she never actually thought Noah would take a shot at him." Tristan guessed. Tèa disagreed.

"Aqua is too smart to make a mistake like that. I feel like we are missing something here." She said.

"Like what?" Yuya asked.

"I don't know, Yuya. I just can't bring myself to believe Aqua would let this happen." She replied, strongly feeling that there had to be more going on that what everyone assumed.

"Aqua said we have to trust her. I still stand by that, despite what Noah did." Yugi said firmly. Somehow, he felt certain that Mokuba's "death" was not what it seemed to be... even though it looked very real.

"One thing's for sure: Noah is definitely out for blood this time around." Joey said ominously. Everyone nodded.

'Yeah... our blood.' Yugi thought, referring to himself, Yuya, Yuzu, and Kaiba. He was positive Noah wanted all of them dead and gone. Mokuba was just the first.

"I too am shocked by Noah's new murderous self. He didn't even hesitate to attack Mokuba when he was vulnerable." Atem added.

'Makes me think what Noah has in mind for us in these Death-T Games of his.' Yugi told him.

"Whatever he has planned, we must be ready." Said the Pharaoh. The good Zarc also gave Yuya his own encouragement.

"Yuya, I know what Noah did was horrible, but blaming yourself won't solve anything. What we can do... is avenge him. After we save your mom and Yuzu's dad, Noah will get the ass kicking he deserves." Yuya didn't reply, but Zarc knew what he was thinking. He then mentioned something else. "Also, don't forget about the Numeron Code. Once we get it and use it to restore the Airship, we can also have it bring back Mokuba."
