========================================

Ohhhh shit.

You're starting to regret lying to Noah in the first place.

"What?" Mokuba's face scrunched, "What do you mean?"

"You heard me, (y/n). On with it." Noah's smirk grew.

Oh you need to think. How are you gonna play this out?

"What does he mean, (y/n)? What Seal?" Mokuba asked as he looked at you.

"If you don't do it now I am gonna stick with my threat from earlier." Noah quickly added, "Yugi is going to suffer."

Quickly, you shot a look at Mokuba with a determined look, you had yet another idea for your little lie.

"Noah's....really....high..." You whispered a lie, "...he thinks I am some..being that takes memories." You continued as you placed a hand over Mokuba's head, "Soo....I need your acting game up for like, a few hours."

"Ahh...okay." Mokuba nodded with a smile, "I got you, after this ima get an Emmy Award!"

After leaning Mokuba back, you whispered, "close your eyes until I flick your head, okay?"

Mokuba nods and closes his eyes shut. Now, to try to make it look believable. As much as you'd love to do it without any sort of visual representations, Noah has said he saw the entire conversation with you and Dartz; including every action that had been done. There's no way you can just flick Mokuba's head and call it a day or he'll call out your lies and hurt Yugi. But how the hell can you make it more believable? How are you going to invoke the Seal without taking Mokuba's soul by accident? You opened your eyepatch and tossed it on the floor. Noah's eyes widened as his smirk grew.

I...wouldn't mind some help?

....it'd be great if you did? To make this lie more believable? No taking souls please?

.....

Uh, Leviathan? Ya....ya wanna convince-

Your eye started to pound upon thinking of the beast's name. Flinching upon the immediate pain, flashes of the Great Leviathan appeared from behind Mokuba, and from each second he grew closer and closer. Without you realizing it, your eye began to glow as you stared at this beast with wide eyes - Holy shit this monster is actually here cause you said its name.

Wait...holy shit Mokuba!

Realizing you're holding Mokuba, you tried your best to avoid the Great Leviathan that was literally slithering to you to act like you're removing his memories. Remember....don't think about taking his soul. Don't take his soul, you kept repeating in your head, this is only for show, maybe if you want you can take Noah or- ....in fact don't take Noah it's his world it'll put us all in danger.

"You think like I haven't thought of that. I'm not dumb."

Oh please don't take his soul, please don't.

You quickly covered your throbbing eye and flicked Mokuba in the head. You stared at him as he collapsed on the couch with closed eyes. You stood there in pure panic as blood ran down your body, your skin now pale.

"U..Uh..." You gulped as you lightly touched Mokuba with your free hand, "...you good?"

Mokuba groaned and slowly rose from the couch, "...huh? Who are you?" He asked as he looked up at you,

Oh he's good. You took a huge sigh of relief and turned to Noah, "...There." You cleared your throat as you picked up your eyepatch from the floor.

"Mokuba? I know it's weird, but my name is Noah Kaiba," Noah greeted with a warm smile,

"..Noah?" Mokuba looked at Noah and tilted his head, "N...Nice to meet you, where am I?"

"You're in my world, all safe and sound." Noah replied and sat down next to him as he looked at you, "And this is my servant, (y/n)."

.....HUH?!

You stared at Noah, "...since when-"

"Cooperate." Noah hissed and pointed at the screen, "That person over there? That egotistic man with the white coat? That's your selfish and careless brother, Seto Kaiba."

Oh no. You froze in place, you knew how sensitive Mokuba is when it comes to Seto. Literally anyone talks shit about Seto and Mokuba pops off - he needs to keep his acting game up for a bit.

"Oh...Is that...is that right?" Mokuba said through clenched teeth but still kept his game up. Noah nodded and relaxed next to him,

"Watch," Noah whispered as the screen got bigger for Mokuba to see.

"At last, the mighty Seto Kaiba is about to lose everything that he has! And it serves you right, after destroying your stepfather and betraying the Big Five. Now it's time you paid the price for using others to get what you want, even your own brother!" One of the members of the Big Five said,

"What does he mean?" Mokuba genuinely asked, "I...I thought Seto - my big brother would be with me as a team?" His voice shook as he asked,

"Not all the time, it's time you learned the real truth about your brother." Noah shook his head, "Listen to what Leichter has to say."

"...that looks nothing like a Leichter." You mumbled,

"You'd stop at nothing to get what you want, you'd even go as far as to deceive the ones most loyal to you. And it all started when Gozaburo Kaiba gave you ten million dollars to test your business tactics.." Leichter started,

"....ten million?!" You gasped as Mokuba bit his lip to hold back a laugh,

"When you increased the cash by threatening smaller businesses, Gozaburo was impressed by both your cruelty and abilities. But that wasn't enough, was it Seto? You wanted more. So you gave us a plan to help take over the company and so we did. We tried buying the 51% you promised but we were soon caught by Gozaburo; apparently someone leaked this plan to him, and the one who did it was Mokuba according to you!" Leichter said,

Mokuba turned pale as he heard the news,

"You don't remember but it actually happened." Noah nodded,

"You trapped us all right at the start! For starters, I know Mokuba wasn't the snitch, it was you, Seto Kaiba!" Leichter vigorously pointed at Seto, "Gozaburo was so ashamed he left and never came back after Mokuba gave you the two percent he had of Kaiba Corp!"

Mokuba weakily sat back down on the couch, his eyes wide and his skin pale.

"You knew Gozaburo head to toe, you knew how he worked; he loved making people suffer at their greatest moments so he let you buy up to forty-nine percent of the company thinking Mokuba leaked the plan. You knew and you tricked us all, you used Mokuba as a pawn!"

"You're wrong!" Kaiba snapped back, "The only person I trusted was Mokuba, I knew that he and I will stand together and stop our stepfather!"

"You used him to achieve your own selfish goals. You used your brother and took advantage of his trust and emotions to be able to destroy the very same man who took you in!" Leichter hissed back,

"...th...that's enough.." Mokuba shook his head, "S...Seto wouldn't hurt me on purpose.."

Noah raised an eyebrow and landed his eyes on Mokuba.

"Don't think I've forgotten about what you did after you won the company, you took away our responsibilities! YOU USED US JUST LIKE HOW YOU USED YOUR BROTHER." Leichter hissed,

"Leichter. Life is a game and if you can't win it then don't play!" Kaiba hissed, "Now let's continue this duel!" He said as he drew his card to start his turn.

"Mokuba, your brother is a careless selfish prick-" Noah sighed,

"...you're wrong." Mokuba shook his head, "M...My brother is my brother, I should love him just the same!"

...for someone realizing his possible trauma is coming from his own brother, he does a really good job keeping his acting game.

Noah's eyes narrowed and looked back at the screen to watch Seto gain victory over the duel. Mokuba cheered and looked at Noah,

"See?! I told you he'd win!"

"Is that so?" Noah mumbled as he rose from the couch, "Mokuba, I am gonna send you to sleep for a bit, I need to have a little chat with someone."

"Huh?" Before Mokuba realized what Noah was saying, Noah immediately rose and knocked him down.

"M-MOKUBA?!" You reached out for him and Noah smacked your hand,

"Don't touch him you liar." Noah seethed as he placed Mokuba gently on the couch, "...you lied to me."

"Wh..What are you-"

"Don't think I'm dumb." Noah clenched his fists, "You lied to me. The Seal doesn't take away people's memories, doesn't it."

Ohhhh......shit. You paused and bit your lip, "...I-It does-"

"Don't lie to me (y/n)." Noah hissed in reply, "You may think you and Mokuba have tricked me but you're so wrong. How is it that someone with no memory looks at their brother with so much love for his victory?! Cause if I recall, someone with anmesia shouldn't be looking with love!"

....Mokuba, you were a fine actor until the end. You mentally saluted Mokuba for his efforts.

"You think you may have bested me but you're oh so wrong. I am going to make you pay for what you've done." Noah smirked, "And for that I am going to make Yugi the most miserable person to ever exist!"

You froze, "...you will do no such thing."

"Oh yes I will, and I'll start by sending him to the hottest place in my virtual world and make him suffer immensely. No one will be able to save him." He smirked as he focused the camera on Yugi, "Then I'll continue it by making sure he stays in my world until the end of time. For me, it'll take only a few seconds."

"...No...you wouldn't." You shook your head as Noah zoomed in on Yugi,

"..Want to bet?" Noah's smirk grew as a button appeared next to him, "With the push of this button, you will no longer see Yugi ever again!"

No...that means -

You turned pale as you thought of the idea of both Yugi and Yami being trapped here, no longer being able to duel and save the world from Marik.

No....no no no...

Noah's finger lightly touched the button, his smirk only growing wider.

No chance of seeing Yami again? No chance of his warmth?

No....hell no.

You dove towards Noah and grabbed his arm before he could press that button. Noah gasped and immediately used his hand and smacked you to the floor.

"What do you think you're doing touching me with those sully hands?!" Noah snapped as you immediately grabbed his arm again,

"Gonna stop you. No way you're touching that button." You hissed as Noah glared at you,

"L-Let go of me! You have no control over me-" Noah hissed and snapped his fingers. Two robots appeared from behind, grabbed you and yanked you off of Noah.

"N-NO!" You grunted as you tried to get off the robots. Noah rubbed the arm you snatched and glared at you,

"You think you're a hero? You're not. You're just some monster that needs to suffer." Noah reached for the button once more, his grin returning, "Soon you'll realize what happens when you lie to someone who has full control over the world!"

"No.....no..." You shook your head as your brain slowly began to shut down on you, "....DONT YOU DARE PRESS THAT BUTTON!" You hissed, feeling your veins boil inside you, pure anger seized you for the first time in a while. Feeling your back pound once more, you didn't care about it as you desperately tried to stop Noah from pressing that button. Just as Noah was about to press that button, you let out a scream,

"DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE! I'LL KILL YOU AND EAT YOUR SOUL ALIVE!" You hissed as Noah froze in place and stared at you in pure shock. It wasn't the fact on what you said, it was the fact that your voice was more twisted than it usually was - of course, you didn't realize that you were so blinded in rage. That wasn't the only thing that Noah noticed, it was so much more than that. Your anger has seized you, you had no idea what you summoned from behind.

Noah was petrified upon seeing a whole beast slithering from behind the robots that soon malfunctioned moments before the beast made slight contact with them. Noah couldn't tell what the hell it was, but it was huge; its yellow slits pierced into the poor boy's eyes. As the beast slowly entered the light, Noah could see this thing in more detail. It's head and ears had fin-like features that flared up in intimidation, and it moved like it was a snake. Noah took a step back, terrified of this beast that sprung the moment you screamed at him. Not only that but the glare you had made him stop in his tracks, it was as if he touched a spot he shouldn't have.

For the first time in a while, Noah felt immediate regret, and was so threatened by you that without thinking, he pushed the robots aside from you. Just before you could reach and tackle him to the ground, Noah opened a hole and forced you down there without hesitation; thinking that if you're gone, this giant beast will as well. It seemed he was right, but with a harmful cost.

The Great Leviathan slithered up to Noah's face and huffed directly at him. Noah, terrified, fell to the floor and stared at the beast with wide eyes,

"S...Stay away..." His voice quivered, "S-Stay away from me! S-She's gone I sent her away!"

The Great Leviathan growled at him then slowly moved back, "Rursus se tangere et sentire et iram meam"

Gasping at the new language, Noah stared in horror as the Great Leviathan slowly faded in the darkness, never to be seen again.

Horrified but curious, Noah opened his computer while obliterating the button. "C-C-Computer, retract what had just occurred."

The screen popped with a camera that had been in the room, Noah had been sure the beast would appear on screen - thankfully it did.

"D-Did you catch what that beast said? If so, t-t-transate it now." Noah commanded while taking deep breaths. After a loading screen, the computer soon seemed to have been able to translate what had just occurred. Noah read the words in English and felt the urge to vomit,

Translation found; Latin to English....:TOUCH HER AGAIN, AND YOU WILL FEEL MY WRATH:

.......

You wished you had experienced a light landing for the first time in a while since you've encountered holes, but this time it was worse than the prior times. You ended up crashing through a giant mansion that was covered in moss. And by crashing, you literally crashed through the roof - thankfully you landed on a bed. Coughing up blood in response to the crash, you slowly turned to your side so you wouldn't choke. Trembling in both anger and pain, you rose from the bed and looked around to find yourself in a dusty room. Where the hell are you? You still felt your blood boil from Noah, what if he still pressed the button? You had little to no memory of what happened after you saw Noah almost press the button - you were literally blinded by rage. Coughing up more blood while feeling dizzy from all the rage, you decided to sit up and take deep breaths to calm down. 'You're only going to feel worse...gods why am I like this' you thought to yourself as you clenched your knees, trying to recall the tactics you made while under solitary confinement to calm yourself from episodes made by the Seal. Taking deep breaths, mumbling assurance that all is well, mumbling that Yugi is alright, mumbling that Yami is safe and unharmed-

You paused and stared in front of you, which was coincidentally a mirror. You could take an actual look at yourself to find you covered in dust made by the wood that you crashed into - your chin having some blood marks from coughing it out, and you looked paler than usual - which you recalled Yami mentioning before you got separated from him. Gods...what made you look like this? You never intended things to go this far.

You would never look like this if you didn't go with them to the tournaments, why did you go? Why did you go to end up feeling so conflicted, so angry? You clenched your fists as tears threatened to fall. You came here just to duel and have fun, why are you being thrown with all these twists and turns? To make matters worse, here you are, possibly being responsible for Yugi to vanish and never return, and you didn't even manage to take Mokuba with you as you fell down this hole. What a failure you are, how could you let things happen as you stand? Here you are, sitting and staring at yourself like a child when you could've stood up for yourself and defended Mokuba, who is now alone with Noah.

What would've happened if you told Noah the truth? What if you told Noah that the Seal takes souls and feeds off negative energy? Would circumstances have changed? You buried your head within your body, your hands dug in your hair and your knees covered your face.

No...if you told Noah the Seal takes souls, he would've commanded you to take Mokuba's soul, or worse, Seto's. Then you'll have no choice but to, you know Seto doesn't like acting and is very skeptical. Oh Gods, the thought of Yami seeing the Seal up close in action; knowing Noah, he would've pulled you in front of everyone and made you do it on the spot.

This is why you hated the idea of telling others of the Seal, they would abuse you like this in terms of using it in matters you refused. Speaking of telling, the idea of telling everyone of the Seal popped in your mind; when the hell are you going to tell them about it? Your life isn't as normal as Tea's, despite the dream of having one like hers. How are they going to accept you're just a vessel? Your legs tightened against yourself as your back began to throb - already entering another episode. This time it wasn't just your back that started to throb, your heart increased in pace and your whole head began to hurt. Your lungs began to struggle to take in so much air as your breathing pace increased just as your heart. Your throat clenched together, holding back the pain and sobs that were threatening to come out.

Why were you even born in the first place?

Your whole body began to tremble as you couldn't hold back some of the sobs that came out of your mouth. The emotions you felt were celebratory for the Seal, you already felt it throbbing in your back that soon went to your eye. You knew the only thing you could do is sit and let this episode ring out. You have no idea where you are and you have no intentions at the moment even getting up and finding out where you are.

You ended up sitting for as long as you needed before you could recollect yourself and stare at the bed. It wasn't long before you ended up falling into a slumber. It felt like hours before you managed to wake up from your self-depreicating slumber. You already know your eyes are swollen at this point, so you rose from the bed and made your way to the nearest bathroom. Relieved that the sinks work, you took off your eyepatch and washed your face with cold water. You stared at yourself in that mirror,

well, luckily you didn't harm yourself this time you mentally noted as you looked at your arms and took a heavy sigh with your eyes closed. The moment you opened them, your eyes caught on a black shadow run past the mirror form the corner of your eyes. Blinking, you immediately turned around and looked at the direction where this shadow went to see it again exiting the room. Raising an eyebrow, you took your eyepatch and followed this shadow while putting on your eyepatch. Running down the abandoned halls of this lovely mansion, you followed this shadow down some stairs and through the halls until you made it to a door. Opening the door, you froze when you saw what was displayed in front of you.

Right down the stairs of this mansion lay a long black beast that had fins covered with hair around the ears and head that exceeded to the back and tail which was the shape of a fish. It's eyes being yellow slits and having four fangs hovering over its sharp teeth, it simply stared at you with a blank look.

'Holy shit...' You thought to yourself upon realizing what the hell that is, '...It's the Great Leviathan.'

The very same beast that came in your dreams. It simply stared at you for a bit before edging closer as it exposed its back to you. Blinking, you slowly walked down the stairs to realize the beast leaned closer to you and gave you better access to its back.

"You....you want me to ride you?" You asked as the Great Leviathan did nothing but stare you down. However, it's eyes did light up when you asked, so to you that's a yes. You gently grasped its back and hopped on it from which you soon slipped from virtual reality and found yourself standing in some ancient place - filled with slabs of what it seems to be pictures of people.

'What in the...?' You gasped as you looked around to find yourself surrounded with all these picture-like slabs. Infront of you lay a stones of a dragon's head, and right above it lay what it appears to be the face of a creature before you. '...where am I?' You pondered and heard a loud bang. Startled, you turned around to find a man appear before you with a glare on his face. You recognized that man, the turquoise hair, the white and blue robe.

'....Dartz.' You realized and stared in horror as he approached the slabbed face,

"...I don't understand..." Dartz hissed, "...I worked so hard just to get a glance from it, and it turns to her?!" Dartz slammed his fists against the floor, "All I need is the Great Leviathan...nothing more, and it's with the girl who doesn't know how to properly use it?!" He seethed through his teeth, then soon smirked, "...that'll change...oh that'll definitely change. I'll get my stone back and I will be the rightful owner of the Great Leviathan and use it to fix humanity!"

'What is he talking about?' You blinked in confusion, as suddenly all around you became white. Covering your eyes from the bright light, you found yourself awake in some chamber. The first person to greet you from that chamber stared at you with such relief you couldn't help but tear up a bit. The white glass slowly opened, but once it was open enough, he grabbed you and pulled you to a tight hug. Oh the warmth, you missed it so much. You thought this whole time he was suffering but you were wrong.

"Oh Gods, (y/n), you're so cold and you're shaking." Yami whispered as he held you tightly, "What in the world happened to you?!" He lifted you from the chambers and set you down, "Listen, (y/n), we need to get out of here. I'll explain after we're out." With that, he grabbed your hand and pulled you with him out. He ran down the long hallway and soon you realized you were outside and what stood before you was the blimp. Inside the blimp was everyone else. Joey's eyes lit when he saw you and reached out,

"PHARAOH GIVE HER TO ME!" Joey screamed as Yami looked at you,

"Hold on," Yami grabbed you,

"...wait hold-" You were out of breath and within moments Yami literally threw you. Letting out a yelp, you felt arms grab you as Joey pulled you close.

"(y/n), you alright?!" Joey asked and watched you slowly nod. You were still processing what was happening while Mokuba was tossed into the blimp, as so was Seto and finally, Yami. The moment everyone was in, the blimp immediately took off. The air rumbled as an explosion was heard not far off from where the blimp was. Seto immediately took off and within moments, the ship was soon calm.

You sat there in pure shock as Yami immediately knelt beside you and swept you from the floor. Just as everyone else was slowly adapting to what just happened, Yami took you straight to your room and closed the doors behind him.

"...Wh-" You were really tired and had no idea what was happening. The moment the doors closed, you felt Yami hug you tightly once more, this time you realized his whole body was shaking.

"....wh.....Yami-" You mumbled as Yami took a huge sigh,

"...You have no idea how happy I am right now being here with you." Yami's voice shook as he whispered in your ear.

============================================

To prevent this chapter from being exceedingly long, I needed to trim some episodes off the list, being Noah vs. Kaiba and Yugi, and Kaiba vs. Gozaburo. I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter and arc nonetheless, as I know Noah's arc is...boring and unnecessary. I figured I use this arc as a form of foreshadowing for later on :)
