Chapter Seven - The Truth Be Told

Mokuba ran down the street of Domino, searching desperately for the hotel Ren had told him Seto was in. He’d have to go down a few more streets before reaching the hotel, but Mokuba still kept a close eye out for Seto in case he turned up. That’s when Mokuba saw it. A black car just about ran over him as he dove to the side to avoid it. Mokuba got up off the ground where he had landed and looked in the direction the car had been headed. To his surprise the car suddenly stopped and two men got out.

“Oh no! It’s Noah’s goons!” Mokuba said aloud. He began to run as fast as he could in the other direction, and headed straight for an alley, hoping to lose the goons in the dark, narrow area.

“There he is!” Yelled a red haired goon.

“Great!” Mokuba said sarcastically to himself. He ran further and turned a corner then another where he found himself at a three way alley. He decided to take the first way then hid behind a large trash can to wait for the goons to leave.

Both soon came running down the alley Mokuba was in and looked around. One was about to look behind the trash can, but the other goon suddenly called out to him.

“Come on man he’s not here, let’s check the other alleys.” Said the dark haired goon.

“Don’t you think Noah should have asked someone to guard his fiances door?” Asked the red hair thug. “What if Ren escapes again?”

“Man, didn’t you here? Noah got so mad at Ren that he shoved her in a virtual pod and had her test it out.”

“I’d of done that a long time ago.” Said the red head arrogantly.

“Yeah, well she won’t be able to get out til she wins the game.”

“And if she loses?”

“Who cares man, we got more important things to worry about.” Said the dark hair. “Now lets hurry before we can’t find Mokuba.”

The two goons finally exited the alley and the coast was clear for Mokuba to go free.

“Oh no,” Thought Mokuba. “Ren’s locked in one of those virtual pods. I need to hurry and find Seto before something terrible happens to her.”

Mokuba took off towards the hotel and in less then fifteen minutes he was there.

Mokuba took the elevator up to the floor where Seto was staying and found the room he knew his brother was in.

“This is it.” Mokuba told himself as he knocked on the door. A settle silence was heard for a while, but suddenly a light noise and the opening of the door indicated to Mokuba that Seto was indeed there.

Mokuba was so happy to see his brother and his brother to see him that when they saw each other they immediately hugged without saying a word.

Seto released his hold on Mokuba and smiled at him. “How did you get her Mokuba?”

“Ren helped me!” Mokuba said aloud. Seto let out a small gasp. “She helped me to escape Noah’s guards and now I’m here.”

“Ren helped you to get here? Hmm, did Noah find out?” Seto finished. Mokuba’s suddenly looked down. “What is it Mokuba?”

“I’ll tell you, but lets sit down first.” Mokuba said in a firm voice. He seemed to Seto almost like how Yugi talked. Indeed Mokuba was truly getting older and Seto would now need to see him as an older kid.

After sitting down on the couch Mokuba began his story of how Ren had come up with the idea to save him and how she was only able to bring him up to a certain point because of her bands.

“So your saying these bands only allow Ren to go to certain rooms in Kaiba Corp?” Seto asked.

“Yeah, I remember her telling me of how much she hated Noah for doing this to her. She says she felt like a slave.”

“Ren told you that. That can’t be true. Last time I saw Ren she had kissed Noah.”

“She only did it to save you Seto!” Mokuba cried. “Whatever you think about her liking Noah in any way is not true. She did everything she did in order to help you and me!”

“Mokuba.” Seto said softly trying to calm down his little brother.

“She risked her life and everything else just to make sure everything was in your favor. And now she’s locked in a virtual pod!”

“What!?” Seto was in awe at this. How dare Noah place Ren in a pod. “I can’t believe Noah would have the nerve to....We have to save her.”

“But how? Noah’s goons are guarding every inch.”

“If there’s one thing I know how to do, Mokuba, it’s breach a company.” Seto said confidently. “Now that I know the truth about Ren I can’t just sit ideally by. There was a reason I haven’t returned to Kaiba Corp, but now that Ren’s placed in a pod I could care less about the problem.”

“What do you mean Seto? What problem are you talking about?”

Seto suddenly arose. Ignoring Mokuba’s questions he preceded with the rest of his plan. “Lets go Mokuba. I’ll have to rent a car, that way we’ll be able to get there faster and save Ren before something happens to her.”

Both Seto and Mokuba went down the hotel elevator and straight to the main floor. They soon made there way outside where just across from the hotel was a car rental.

A big blond haired guy sat at the rental office when he noticed two people coming. A tall man wearing a purple jacket and black pants was headed his way along with a young teenage boy with black hair who wore a blue t-shirt and a pair of jeans.

The man walked into the office and immediately began his request.

“Do you have something that would be cheap, but fast?” Asked Seto with a smile.

“Best I got, that’s cheap anyways, is a Porsche.” Said the man with a grin. “You wanna a silver one?”

“Sure, just take us to it.” Seto said in a hurry.

The man took them to the speed demon car and both Seto and Mokuba hopped in. There was no time to waste so Seto handed the guy the money and both him and Mokuba drove off in the rented car.

“I wonder what it was Seto was talking about earlier?” Mokuba thought. “What’s the “problem” or the “reason” for that matter. Does Noah have something else against Seto?”

“Mokuba.” The sound of Seto’s voice startled Mokuba as he jumped in his seat. “I’ll need you to stay behind when I get inside a pod so that I know no one will miss with the pods.”

“But why can’t I go?” Mokuba wined. “I wanna help you save Ren.”

“Mokuba, I know you do. But one of us has to stay behind and it needs to be you. I’m the one, after all, who started building these. And it’ll be my responsibility to make sure they aren’t used for selfish and evil reasons. To think, Noah would betray Ren. After she had been so loyal to him.”

Seto remembered when he had given Ren the necklace and she had refused to cheat on Noah because of her promise to him. Seto only wished they had known Noah was truly evil sooner. That way they could have both ended up together and wouldn’t even be in this position in the first place. And as Seto thought even further he suddenly began to realize something. Everything that Ren had done for him. Every lecture, every annoying dance, almost everything had been done in Seto’s interest. She had made him a better person. And not only that, but she had made him happier too. But now Ren was in trouble and it was in the interest of saving Mokuba, his little brother. So Seto agreed that what ever it costed. He’d find a way to free Ren of the virtual world and take her away from Noah forever.

“Seto, what did you mean earlier when you mentioned the “problem”. Mokuba started. “What’s the reason why you didn’t return to Kaiba Corp to save me and Ren?”

Seto hadn’t told Ren about the reason, but now that Ren was in trouble and Seto didn’t know what would happen next it was best Mokuba heard sooner then never.

“Before Noah threw me out, he told me that I had a virus in my body.”

“A virus?”

“Yes, and it was put in somehow when I drank a glass of water.”
“That must of been during your meeting with Brian.”

“Uhh!” Seto hadn’t considered him. Brian must have been the person who put the virus in his drink right before he left. But why was he working for Noah? “I have to find out who did this to me.”

“You mean it wasn’t Noah?”

“No, but if I’m correct about who did it...then we may have a tougher battle on our hands then I first thought.”
