A Strange guy whose part machine

Chapter One


A Discovery

"Marik, Malik, you both will love the house that i bought, its in a good nieghborhood with people your ages" Ishizu said as she drove. "Yeah, but we had to move from Egypt to live here in some shitty little town" Malik says staring out the window. "Malik, you know why we had to move from there, all the booming was destroying the city, plus our government is paying for our stay here" Ishizu said watching the cars around her. She didn't like the move either but their government wanted families in their area to move so they would be safe. "What do you think Marik?" Ishizu asked. "I think i would have rathered stayed in the shadow realm than be here for all this" Marik said with a growl.

"Well both of you have to get used to it, we have to stay here until we're told otherwise" Ishizu said giving up. Ishizu looked for the house that was supposed to be theirs. After a few moments she saw it and pulled up to the curb. "This is the house they say is ours" Ishizu said getting out of the car. Malik and Marik got out and looked at the house. It looked like a two story, it had four windows on the side they could see, a rather large fancy door, but the color of the house was odd....it was a dark red, almost the color of blood.

"The landlord said nothing about the color" Ishizu said looking it over. "Probably didnt care" Marik said and started towards the house. "Why dont the two of you explore it and find which rooms you want" Ishizu said walking behind Malik. Marik walked in and looked around the empty hallway. Turning towards Malik he raised a brow. "Could Ishizu just be trying to torment us?" he asked. "She's known too, so she could be" Malik says shrugging. Seeing the stairs he walks up them. They creak and groan under his weight, he hears it with Marik as well. "This is just freaky, it feels like they're gonna bust out from under us" Malik says as he reaches the top of the stair case.

Coming to the first room, Malik peeked in. It looked big enough for two king size beds! //Wow, thats a big room// he thought and walked over to the other room. Just as big. Walking across the hallway, Malik looked into the bathroom. Two large jacuzzi tubs,one on each wall, two showers on each side, two sinks but one toilet. "Damn, the rooms and the bathroom are huge" Malik said to Marik who was standing behind him not really showing any interest. "Yeah, well if both bedrooms are the same, then pick which one you want" Marik said.

Malik turned and saw a door at the end of the hallway. Out of curousity he walked over and opened, revealing stairs going down. "What kind of house has stairs go two different ways?" Malik asked. "They shouldn't, but seeing your so curious, go take a look" Marik said and practically threw Malik down the stairs and slammed the door shut. Malik landed hard on his side. Clutching his ribs, he sat up. "Damn Yami" he muttered clutching his side. Slowly standing up, he looked around at the surroundings. Looked like a closet, but another door just a foot away from him.

Walking over to the door, Malik opened it. Walking into the room, Malik was surprised to see strange looking machines all over the place. But what surprised him the most was the one just ahead of him. Walking over to it, he felt his blood go cold in his veins. A person was inside the strange tube. It was a guy, who looked no older than Malik. He had short black hair in the front but Malik could see a braid went down his back. His skin had a pale complex. On his cheek though, was a piece of metal only a inch long and an inch wide, that read: M3-19. He had a clear plastic thing covering his nose and mouth, which Malik guessed was giving him air.

Reaching up and touching the glass, Malik could feel it was icy cold. Quickly he jerked his hand back. How could the guy survive in there? But Malik could see he was breathing. Suddenly he saaw the guys hand twitch and jumped back. The guys eyes didn't open nor did he move again. //This is freaky...i have to find someone who might know something about these things// Malik thought looking around the room. Tons of beeping and lights flashing. Suddenly he rememebered someone who might know. Seto Kaiba. He had to get Seto to come here and see this guy. Turning he started to walk away, but turned back. How could he leave someone in one of whatever the thing was?

//Just until i talk to Seto// Malik thought and walked back into the room and up the stairs. At least his ass-hole yami didnt lock the door. Opening it, he looked for Marik or Ishizu. Walking out and closing the door and started to the stairs. Walking down them, Malik saw Ishizu unloading more suitcases. Turning she saw Malik. "Oh, Malik, Marik said you went to explore more of the house" she said putting the suitcase down on the walkway. "He pushed me down the stairs" Malik said wincing at his ribs. "Are you hurt badly?" Ishizu asked looking worried. "No, just probably hit a rib or two" he said not wanting to worry her.

"You dont mind if i go look around the town do you?" Malik asked, praying she would let him. He had to get that guy out of that tube thing. "Sure, just be back before night fall, we're going out to eat" Ishizu says turning and headed into the house. //Good now i can go see Seto// Malik thought and started walking more into Domino City.

After what seemed a hour or two, Malik saw the Kaiba Corp. Building. Walking in, he went to the secretary. "Do you have an appointment with Mr. Kaibe?" the rather unattractive woman asked. "No, but it is urgent, its from someone Mr. Kaiba will remember, its from Ishizu Ishtar" Malik said putting on a frantic face. "Oh, i'll call him up" she said and grabbed the phone. "Mr. Kaiba, I'm sorry to bother you but there's a urgent message from Ishizu Ishtar" she said into the phone. Setting the phone down she looked up at Malik. "He'll see you" she said and went back to her typing.

Walking over to the elevator, he got in and pushed the button for the top floor. After a few seconds, he reached the top. Opeing, he walked out and walked over to the doors of Seto's office. Knocking he heard, someone mutter come in. Opening the door, Malik peeked in. Seeing Seto sitting over at a desk, Malik smiled and walked in. Seto looked up and saw the young Ishtar boy. How could that ass-hole dare show his face here in Seto's office after what he did in Battle City?

"What the hell are you doing here?" Seto hissed enraged. "I need your help with something, you the only one who knows about machines" Malik said. "What does that supposed to mean? I run a dueling software company, not a invent whatever machine company" Seto hissed. "In the house we moved into, it has a secret door that leads to a lab or something, there's a guy inside a tube of some kind of green gunk" Malik hissed getting angry that Seto wouldn't let him speak. "A Secret lab that has a person in a tube? Do think i was born yesterday Ishtar? I wouldn't believe that story for a minute, now leave my sight!" Seto hissed.

"Im not making it up, Seto! This is true, your just a scared little pussy cat who wont leave his litter box" Malik yelled. Who was gonna help the guy in the tube? Seto jerked around at that comment. Grabbing Malik, he pulled him close, glaring at the teenaged boy. "What did you call me?" Seto asked slowly and in a menacing tone. "You heard me, theres a guy in a strange tube in a secret place in the house i'm moving into, i dont know how to get him out" Malik said thru clenched teeth. "If you were right, still why would i help you?" Seto asked. "You'd be helping a life, you'd be doing nothing for me" Malik said.

"I'll come take a look tomorrow after my meetings, but Im only doing this for whoever this person is in the tube" Seto said letting go of Malik and walked around his desk.
