Chapter Six - Mokuba’s Escape

“You saw Seto?!” Mokuba asked after Ren had told her all about the night before. Noah allowed her to visit him for a little while at no special request and Ren seemed more relaxed as she sat with Mokuba on his bed.

“Yeah,” Ren paused. “But he thinks I like Noah.”

“Well who could blame him.” Mokuba said sharply. “You did kiss him and he was all over you in the limo–

“That’s enough Mokuba.” Ren interrupted. “None of that was meant to hurt Seto. I only kissed Noah to save Seto. It was the only way I could get Noah to lighten up about the present situation. And as for the limo part....well, I had nothing to do with that!”

Mokuba gasped as he looked at Ren who seemed as if she were about to cry. “I’m sorry. I didn’t know.”

Ren looked up and smiled. “It’s okay. I just don’t know what to do anymore. We need to find a way to get out of this building and take care of Noah’s scheme.”

“Well if I had to guess I’d say Noah is going to build virtual pods and he probably plans to do something huge with them. Probably has a plan to take over the world or something.”

Ren gasped at Mokuba’s idea. That was what Seto had said...or at least something like it. He had warned Ren not to go back because of his dream of Noah capturing her in a virtual pod. But even though he really didn’t seem to believe in the dream itself he still had some sort of belief that this time around, Noah’s revenge would involve virtual pods in some way.

“Mokuba, I think I may have a plan if your willing to try it out.” Ren said as she arose.

“Great, then let’s get to work!”

Ren walked out of Mokuba’s room with a food cart that was brought into Mokuba’s room for dinner. Usually a goon would come by the next day to take it back to the kitchen, but Ren had an idea that would allow Mokuba to escape.

“Hey! What are you doing with that cart!” Yelled one of the guards at Mokuba’s room door.

“I’m taking it to the kitchen.” Ren said firmly.

“Not on my watch your not. Only the waiter takes that to and from the kitchen.”

“Oh really. Well why don’t you call Noah and see what he has to say about this.” Ren said aloud. “Why don’t you call him and let me ask him myself. After all I’m only doing him a favor, I’m not harming anyone.”

“Uh, no that won’t be necessary.” Said the goon nervously. “Go right ahead.”

Ren headed down the hall as her plan continued with success.

“Hey, why didn’t you call Noah?” Asked the other goon.

“You remember what Noah said.” Said the other one. “Don’t bother him unless it’s an emergency.”

“Looks like your plan worked Ren.” Mokuba said from underneath the skirted food cart.

“Shhh. Don’t talk yet. Not til were at the front, okay.”

Ren stopped at the front entrance.

“I can’t go any farther because of these bands on my arms, but you can leave, from here you’ll at least have a running start.”

“Thank’s Ren.” Mokuba said.

“Oh, and when you find your brother don’t forget to tell him what I told you to tell him. He needs to know the truth.”

“Don’t worry I will.” Mokuba promised. And with that Mokuba got out of the cart, opened the front door, and ran out of the Kaiba Corp building with Ren waving good bye.

“What do you think your doing!” Called out a goon from behind Ren. He grabbed a hold of her. Other goons gathered as they began to wonder what was going on. “Were you trying to escape?”

“No, I wasn’t!” Ren said from the grasp of the goon. “I promise! Let go of me!”

“Your lying, I know a liar when I see one!”
“Put here down.” Noah said as he got off the elevator.

“Noah! Sir, I’m sorry I –

Noah only looked sharply at each of the goons with his dark, piercing eyes. “I suggest every one of you leave this floor this instant.” And without further noise each and every one of Noah’s loyal men ran out as quickly as they could. “Ren,” Noah started. Ren felt another hug coming from Noah, but instead received a lecture. “Why were you down here?”

“I was just...well I–

“Answer me Ren, were you trying to escape?” Noah asked.

“No, I wasn’t.” Ren said in an assuring voice.

“Really.” Noah didn’t seem to believe her. “I thought you were happy here. I thought you loved me.”

Ren just stood there in silence.

“I guess I’ll take you silence as a no to all.” Noah said annoyed. “Is there something or someone you haven’t told me about? Or perhaps I know. It’s Seto isn’t it!”

Ren gasped a little and hid her face behind her hair as she looked down.

“I don’t know what you see in him. But don’t worry. I’ll soon cure you of your liking for him.” Noah said as he wore his usually evil grin. “After all, it’ll only be a matter of time before you’re truly mine.”

Suddenly a goon came out of the elevator with a look of shock on his face. “Sir! The prisoner, Mokuba, he’s escaped!”

“Really.” Noah looked at Ren and smiled. Then suddenly he frowned. “Ren, did you have something to do with this?”

“I..I might have.” Ren hesitated. Noah became angry.

“Mokuba was part of my plan to build this company further. Don’t you realize you’ve jeopardized part of the plan!”

“I’m sorry.” Ren said in a scared tone.

“You should be. Mike, take Ren to the pods. I think she needs a little time to reflect on what she’s done.” Noah said as Mike grabbed a hold of one of Ren’s arms to take her to the floor where the virtual pods were located. “Oh and don’t worry Ren, if you like video games, you’ll love my simulation game. I created it just especially for a time like this. Of course if you do wish to get out you’ll have to find your way out. And the only way to do that is by beating every level. Good luck.”

And with that Ren was taken to the simulation station and placed inside of a pod to be uploaded to one of Noah’s virtual world simulation games.

As Ren entered the virtual world she began to wonder if she had maybe just died and gone to heaven. The scenery was beautiful, and everything looked so real. Even smells were simulated into the game as Ren knelt down to sniff a flower. Suddenly a metal object caught her eye. She looked up and suddenly realized it was a knight of some sort. Ren stepped back, unaware of what the knight might do to her and looked at it with alert eyes.

Suddenly the knight swung his sword. With Ren defenseless and there being no one to help her she was as good as done for.
