Description
Storm's fingers flew across the controls as she did her best to try and help everyone. She controlled the part she left behind, a small program that Noah wouldn't detect. She found her way to everyone. Seto and Mokuba were statues and Yugi had just taken over the duel. Storm knew that Yugi could handle this and she set out to make herself known to everyone. She didn't care that Noah wouldn't free her friends; she needed them to know she was there and she was trying to help them. Unfortunately Noah was turning everyone into statues. She had to wait til Yugi won the duel and everyone turned back. Once the duel was won, Storm set off the chain reactions, allowing an image of her to be seen. Everyone was glad to see her, everyone except Seto who just glared at her.
"Why is he glaring?" She wondered. She put on a headset and sent the image over to Seto.
"What's wrong Seto?" She asked.
"Get away from me Wheeler." He said coldly, "I should have known you were a spy."
"A spy? What are you talking about?" Storm was confused now.
"Just get away from me." Seto yelled. Storm took the headset off and got rid of her image.
"Damn you Noah. You turned him against me." Storm said as tears welled up in her eyes. She sat on the ground and wiped her tears away. She was no good to her friends if she started crying. She grabbed her blackberry and went back to trying to free her friends. Her vision went blurry as more tears came. She was useless now, she couldn't stop crying. She had been upset before, she was near depressed after her parents died but this, this was something different, and it felt like her heart was physically hurting. As she was crying, she almost didn't notice Mokuba who was standing in front of her.
"Are you crying Storm?" He asked, but his voice sounded different but familiar.
"Noah?" She said as she looked at him.
"Correct. Now why are you crying?" He asked again.
"Why do you think? Seto thinks I'm a spy."
"I see." was all Noah said before he left. Storm got off the ground, wiped her tears away and followed him.
"What are you doing?" She asked.
"Why don't you go back to trying to save your friends?" Noah said.
"I can't and you know I can't. From the beginning you knew I couldn't while I was outside the world. And when I was in the world you distracted me with the promise that if I could figure out how to become visible you would free everyone but you lied." Storm almost yelled.
"Of course. Did you really expect me to be honest? I mean really?" Noah said with a sneer.
"I did but I guess I was foolish."
"You were."
Noah went to a control panel and began typing. Storm watched him, wondering what he was doing.
"Initializing satellite reprogramming, preparing for an attack." A female voice echoed through the room.
"Noah, what are you doing?" Storm asked.
"I'm going to destroy this place along with Father, Seto and your friends." Noah replied. A sudden alarm startled Storm as the female voice spoke again.
"Warning, main power is offline."
Everything went dark.
"No I was almost finished." Noah said as he slammed his fist down onto the control panel.
"Emergency backup generators activated. All systems operating normally."
"Good where was I? Once that satellite attacks the entire virtual world will shut down along with every mind inside." Noah said as he continued typing before looking up at a security screen, "An uninvited guess. It's not like it matters. This place is history." Noah pressed one last thing before leaving. Storm followed behind him, not entirely sure what to do. She decided to go back to the pods and do whatever she could to get her friends out. As her fingers flew across the keys, the warning system counted down and warned her to evacuate. She ignored it and continued to work.
"Why can't I do this?" She yelled out. Nothing she did worked.
"Let me help you."
Storm turned around to see Noah.
"Noah?" She said surprised. Noah walked up next to her.
"I'm sorry that I lied to you and started all this. I can't stop the satellite. Someone destroyed the control panel but please let me help you get them out." He said.
"Fine but if you're fucking with me again you'll regret it." Storm said before she went back to typing. Noah put the headset on and spoke, "Attention can you hear me? This is very important." He said, "This is a warning to all of you. Look the virtual world you are all in is about to be destroyed."
Storm watched the screens as everyone spoke.
"I'm sorry for the way I treated you all but now a satellite is set to destroy the main computer system. When that computer shuts down, the virtual world will collapse. You must escape or your minds will be lost forever."
Noah explained to them how to escape and Storm programmed it so her image led them to there escape. It wasn't long til everyone but Seto and Yugi woke up. Storm was happy to see them and hugged them all.
"Are you alright Storm?" Joey asked softly.
"I'm fine Joey." She assured her cousin, "Yugi and Seto are still in the virtual world but I'll get them out. You all have to get back to the blimp. I'll make sure I get the rest out." Storm said. Joey nodded and everyone left. She went back to the control panel and she helped Yugi find Seto. Noah went into one of the pods to allow Mokuba escape as Seto and Yugi woke up. Seconds later Mokuba woke up.
"All of you go." Storm said as she programmed time delaying software to help Noah keep Gozaburo in the virtual world.
"We can't leave you behind Storm.' Yugi protested. Storm looked back at them and smile, "I'll be right behind you. Now go!"
Yugi reluctantly nodded and left. Seto hesitated for a second but followed Yugi along with Mokuba. Storm finished the program and left. She ran as fast as she could after Yugi, Seto and Mokuba and managed to catch up to them. Ahead of her she could see the blimp getting ready to leave. Mokuba staggered. Seto grabbed the back of his shirt and threw him on to the stairs before jumping on after him. Joey held out his hand and grabbed Yugi's, pulling him on board. Storm reached the blimp stairs and an arm shot out to help her. She grabbed hold of the arm and was pulled on board. She looked up at Seto, the one who pulled her aboard before the blimp shook. Seto pulled his arm away from her and ran off. Storm watched him leave, the pain still in her heart and just leaned up against a wall as the blimp escaped. Everyone else left, going the same direction as Seto. Storm heard her blackberry bleep and pulled it out.
Thank you for saving me. Though I do not wish to stay on your blackberry for the rest of my life. I hope you have a plan.
Storm smiled at the message. The time delaying program she had created was to keep Gozaburo in the virtual world so Noah could escape and she was very happy it worked.
I try to figure out something, Storm text back, just be patient.
She pocketed her blackberry and went to Joey's room. She was tired and still upset with Seto thinking she was a spy. She lay on the bed and just stared at the ceiling
"Storm?" Joey said softly as he entered his room and walked over to Storm. She looked at him.
"Hey Joey." She whispered.
"Are you alright?" He asked as he sat down on the bed.
"Seto thinks I'm a spy. I don't think he wants anything to do with me anymore." Storm sat up and hugged her knees.
"Storm, he's a jerk. You don't need him. You could so much better."
"But I love him Joey. I really love him and it hurts me so much that he thinks I'm a spy." Storm said as tears began forming. Joey let out a sigh and hugged Storm.
"He does love you, the way he treated you proved it. I'm sure if you talk to him you can get him to see sense." Joey said. Storm pulled out of the hug and looked at him.
"That wasn't easy for you to say that was it?" Storm asked.
"No," Joey replied, "but I don't like seeing you upset. You should go talk to Seto. I'm sure you can get through to him."
"You're right. Thank you Joey." Storm hugged Joey one last time before getting out of bed and headed to Seto's room.
