"...you're serious. If I ever decide to ask the researchers for anything again, I'm consulting you first."
Kaiba wouldn't be in this mess with his cards if he'd just gone for direct summoning. Granted, he could be in a bigger mess. And he seriously doubted he was going to ask them for anything ever again. He sighed, dusted himself off once he was sure Yugi was alright, and crouched to study the next markings.
They look jagged, but there's a space above them. They have to climb over, somehow...? If they had to be at a magic school of all things, why didn't they have flying broomsticks? He muttered a curse and used modification to turn some of the vines of the walls into ladders, setting up a mundane climb over.
Just as he's about to touch down on solid ground again, the voice returns to his head. He looks at the cards' values, now dangerously low and flashing red. The voices return, echoing only inside his head.
Clever, clever...but you're still weak, Seto. You cling to the boy you once vowed to defeat, hiding behind his greatness. No more. We should ally ourselves with a true master, one who will bring us glory!
The wind howls and a fog lifts. Kaiba reaches back for Yugi, trying to haul him through and duck into the next corner before it gets worse.
"No. You're wrong. I'm going to prove it."
He reaches, but he can feel his grip slipping. Sorry, Yugi.
