Chapter 9 - Experiment 453

"No! Why does your boss want it?" Amber tripped the woman up and ran for her friends. Sending a small burst of power she freed them from the grasp of the goons only to be grabbed by the neck.

"AMBER!" The group echoed.

"Simple. The key."

"Why...the.........key?" Amber struggled within her grip.

"The answer to that is the true power that time truely does hold. He could rule the world and then some."

"The true power of time?" Kaiba questioned stepping forward. Mrs. Akiro pulled out a knife and held it up to Amber's chest.

"Yes, the true power of time. Time holds the answer to lifes every desire, want, truth and myth. Time is the key to everying, everyone and every moment." Amber's hands felt so weak by now. All her strength was being drained from her. Her skin was become more pale by the moment. Still she held onto the small golden ball. "I suggest your sister give me the clue or in a matter of moments she might be dead. Her lips are turning blue."

"I.............will ne.............never...give you...agh!" the grip tightend around her neck. "No...I won't! AH!"

"Put her down! I have the clue!"

"Somehow Mr. Kaiba, I don't believe you." Mrs. Akiro ran the knife into Amber's arm.

"AH!"

"I said I have the CLUE!"

"Still don't believe you," she pulled the knife deeper.

"AHHH!" Finally Amber's body gave way to the pain. The clue was luckily stored away in her pocket with a hiding spell. Amara decided to show up.

"Now that Amber will let me take over. You will pay! OBLITERATE!" The guards all fell to the floor. "You now!" Amara slowly advanced onto the woman who was the art teacher. "OBLITER-"

"Sorry!" Mrs. Akiro punched Amara in the chest and pushed in a needle full of sleeping medication.

"What she doesn't do, I will!" Kaiba pushed the woman down the long flight of stairs but half way down she disapeared in a puff of smoke.

"I WILL BE BACK FOR THAT CLUE!"

"Amber!" Everyone rushed to her side.

"Her arm is in really bad shape."

"I know Wheeler. Hand me your coat." Joey gave his coat to Kaiba. Ripping it into shreads he wrapped it around the deep slash on her arm.

"Now what?"

"We get out of here and get some well needed rest. I have to do some testing of my own." Kaiba picked Amber up. Noticing she felt cold Kaiba took a quick way. The emergency elevator. "Get in," he ordered. Mokuba looked at Amber with a worried expression and Yugi was almost in tears.

"She has to be okay. Where did that come from?" Yugi picked up a small golden ball.

"Out of her body. She looked through the dragon eyes and that's what happened." Kaiba glared at the small golden object, "Because of that thing she is like this!" The ride down the elvator was a silent trip.

In the limo Amber's skin had regained some colour. Kaiba, Mokuba and Yugi were so relieved. Joey was just glad that he could have been some help. Rebecca was looking at golden ball.

"I feel so useless."

"Why Rebecca?" Yugi looked dead on his feet.

"Yugi, you don't look so good."

"Yeah Yug. Maybe you should let Yami take over." Joey saw Yugi start to slump over. "Or not. Yami must be out of it too. He used a lot of his magic to keep us safe." Joey leaned Yugi against his shoulder.

"What is going on here? I just walked in when this clue thing started to come up."

"Well, you heard what the lady said. If we let him get that much power."

"In other words Wheeler, we're all screwed."

"Pretty much. Kaiba what are you going to do? How are you going to test if Amber is your sister?"

"DNA test."

"DNA what now?"

"DNA test mutt. When you test your genes to see if they're family or not."

"Oh. I knew that!" Joey grinned lopsidely and looked back at Yugi. "So where are you planning on taking her?"

"Our place."

"You're welcome to join us," Mokuba said and looked at Kaiba with a puppy dog eye expression. Kaiba only frowned but nodded it was okay.

The mansion was pretty empty except for one doctor rushing into a bedroom. The rest of the group, with the exception of Yugi who was replaced with a very tired looking Yami, surrounded the bed.

"She'll be fine. Keep that arm bandaged for some time. Change the bandage once daily. When the scar forms let it be out in the open. As for the slight electricution she'll be fine. It was nothing major. She was given a seditive and the DNA test has come back Mr. Kaiba. I did not read the report from the computer. Good day." The doctor left the mansion to go home. It was sunday so Kaiba gave them all the day off, for once.

"Well..."

"It's strange."

"What is?" Joey took the folder from Kaiba. "That is strange."

"Why?"

"It says that she has part of Kaiba's DNA, part of yours Mokuba, and part of two woman who passed away one before Amber was even born and the other after."

"Who?" Mokuba snatched the folder away. "Seto is this our-"

"Could you all leave for a moment." It was not a question. Everyone left.

"Seto this is moms DNA!"

"I know, and that was her sister. Amber Tokitai is born from taken DNA. She is our sister in more ways then one. But how did they get our DNA?" Amber's eyes started to flutter open. Kaiba went on to explain the whole situation.

"So...all my memories, all my thoughts, my looks, were all painted on you could say?" shock was present in her features.

"I'm sorry." Kaiba took her hand, "Even I didn't know."

"I-I'm just an experiment." Kaiba heard the fax machine in the corner.

"I shouldn't let you see this." Amber stole the papers away from him. She read them aloud.

"Experiment 453 has got a mind of her own. She has suceeded. We have suceeded. Gone past the process of cloning completely. Those fools! She is our greatest sucess. Our greatest triumph...she...she-" dropping the papers she buried her face into her knees. "You keep reading. I need to hear all of this."

"Are you sure?" Amber nodded.

Three hours later Kaiba was still reading.

"Day 179, project 453 has become eratic. She is a normal little girl but her signs of changing, becoming her own person are becoming stronger. To stop her from leaving we have implanted fake memories into her mind. She has family but shall never meet them. Only memories will keep her here."

"Day 300, she has runaway and our lab was set on fire. I'm writting this with a huge chest wound in my abdomen. The key to the true power of time lies with this girl. Ugh...my time is up..." Mokuba put the report down. "That's where it ends. There's nothing more."

"They've been in there a long time," Yugi commented.

"Yeah, five hours. When did you wake up Yug?"

"Just a couple of minutes ago but I was half asleep."

"Oh. I'm worried about her. What happens if something bad happens to her?"

"I don't think it will Rebecca. I'm more worried about what's on dat paper."

"I know." Rebecca shared a worried glance with the rest thinking that she heard something.

A crash could be heard in the room. Kaiba could be heard trying to calm down someone and it sounded like Mokuba was rushing toward the door. The door opened. "Yugi, we need you in there now! I suggest-" Mokuba ducked a flying object, "You all stay out for your own safety."
