                The headquarters of Industrial Illusions were located in Kita, one of Tokyo’s many wards. It looked innocent enough from the outside. In fact, to be honest, it looked like all the other buildings around it—a regular tall metal box of a building with some windows and a revolving door. They knelt in the darkness of an alley just across the street from the building’s main entrance. Mokuba was attaching objects to his jacket, and Yusai seemed to be occupied with typing frantically on the computer. Yami, however, could not take his eyes from the building. A feeling of dread grew within him as he gazed longingly at it. Inside that building was Yugi, the one he loved and the one he had nearly forgotten. Yami was already sickened with himself for that, but for now, that did not matter. All that mattered at this moment was accomplishing their goal. They were going to get Yugi, possibly liberate all other subjects, and get out of there. Or at least that was the plan from what scraps of information Yami had gathered. He still was vague about what exactly the plan was. However, Yami believed in Yusai and the others and hoped to god that it would work. Yami turned to Yusai and whispered, “So…what’s the plan to get in? Are we going to shoot our way in and—” Mokuba’s abrupt glare at him silenced effectively stopped whatever he was going to say next..

                “No,” Yusai said, coolly as usual. “Rushing in there would only cause the whole building to go on alert.”

                “Then how do you plan to sneak in?”

                “I’m changing the data at this moment.”

                “You’re changing the main computer’s functions?! You can do that Yusai?”

                “No, I’m changing the data of the Palm Pilots the guards are most likely carrying.”

                “Oh?” Yami didn’t know how exactly Yusai was doing that, but he decided not to press the matter. He looked over to Jack. The blonde was grinning wildly as he flipped through a stack of blank CDs. Yami only guessed that the CDs were for data collecting. He turned around to look at Atem. His eyes bulged as he saw the blond man begin to undress behind a dumpster.

.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

                Yugi stared at the TV in front of him vacantly. Why the bastards that owned this building would think he would enjoy watching Anpanman was beyond him. The children’s TV show was worse then that American children’s show called Barney. Just watching the screen made Yugi want to kill himself. Ryou sat next to him, scratching his pencil on his sketchpad rapidly. Yugi looked over and tilted his head. The drawing was either a really constipated fruit…or a picture of Pikachu. “Hey, what are you drawing?”

                “A picture of Dark Magician. He used to be your favorite cartoon character.”

                “Oh,” Yugi blinked.

                Ryou sighed and turned to him. “I’m sorry, that was insensitive. You still have no inkling of your lost memory?”

                Yugi shook his head. “Nope.”

                “It’s all right. It’s not your fault anyway. Besides, you’re back with me now. That’s all that matters to me.” He smiled and lightly punched Yugi’s upper arm. He smiled befor looking back at the TV. His memories might never return, but his heart still remembered. “You said you met people who would help us. How do you know they will?”

                “Hm?…oh, I just do.” Yugi replied.

                “You just do? That’s not exactly reassuring. We can’t stake our lives on a feeling.”

                Yugi chuckled. “I’ve been doing that exact thing since I was awakened.”

                “Awakened?”

                Yugi caught himself and tried to think of a likely story. “Um…that is, I was asleep when I was found and someone woke me up.”

                “One of those friends you spoke of?”

                “Yes.”

                Ryou turned his body so he was facing Yugi “What are they like, these friends?”

                “I’m not sure I should say. What if our captors are listening into this conversation?”

                “They’re not.”

                “How do you know?”

                Ryou broke into a fit of laughter. “Well, one time you found two of the lab technicians in a rather…awkward position. You blackmailed them so now our conversations are no longer recorded. Besides, they didn’t really find our crying entertaining anyway.” Yugi had to laugh. Apparently his old self was not exactly like the person he was now. A loud clashing of metal was heard and the doors to the room that Ryou and Yugi were currently in opened. A man with brown hair walked forward, followed by a blond-haired woman. Yugi gazed at them in with barly contained malice.

                “Come with us, Millennium Puzzle,” the man instructed.

                “Why should I go with you? What are you going to do to me?” Yugi asked warily.

                “We are going to run some tests, and you really have no choice in the matter. Now come.” The women spoke venomously.

                Ryou flinched visibly. Yugi glanced in his direction, and then turned his eyes back to the other two people. To make Ryou flinch, the woman must be one of the more brutal scientists. However, the they were right. Yugi didn’t really have a choice. He rose to his feet, allowing his hand to trail up Ryou’s arm as he stood. He then turned to the man and woman…and obediently followed them through the door. As the door closed, Yugi looked back, only to be met with the horror-struck face of Ryou.

.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

                Yami breathed a sigh of relief as the doors closed. They were in. The plan that Yami had been so confused about was actually ingenious. Atem had dressed up in a replica of the company’s lab coats and Yami had changed into one of the custom white t-shirts of the subjects. They had walked up to the entrance desk, and Atem had acted so…suave, to put it lightly, that the desk girl had nearly pushed them through the door in a fit of giggles. It had also helped that Yusai’s fake appointment data had been transferred to the girl’s laptop. How the man had managed to do that, Yami would probably never know. Apparently the phrase ‘If you want to hide something, hide it in plain sight.’ was rather true. Yami turned to Atem and nodded. “Now, to find Yugi?”

                “No. Now to sneak in Yusai and the others. Then Yusai will find out where Yugi is and we’ll rescue him.”

                “So how do we get them in?”

                The two were currently in what looked to be a doctor’s office. Bottles, swabs, and other instruments were all lined up in a neat row on one long shelf. In the middle of the room was one of those brown seating beds. Atem looked around. He gazed at the white walls, then at the tile floor. He pursed his lips and went over to the drawers, opening them one at a time quietly. Then, after finding nothing, turned to Yami.

                “I was hoping to find a computer in here. I suppose luck is not completely on our side. Now we are going to have to get to one of the main offices…or at least to some sort of electronic equipment.”

                Yami looked to the door. “I think I saw someone come out of an office just down the hall. Perhaps they would have a computer.” Atem nodded and turned to open the door, but stopped and stared at a set of cotton swabs and a pair of tweezers. “What’s the matter, Atem? Come on.” Yami shook his shoulder. Atem nodded again absently and grabbed the interments, shoving them in his coat pocket before opening the door.
.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

                Yugi stood in the middle of a room with nothing but mirrors surrounding him. Even the floor was a giant mirror. He was filled with a feeling of paranoia, as if he were being watched. He tapped his foot on the ground. He had no doubt that all these mirrors were one way. He could not see his enemies, but they could see him. He felt trapped and enraged, almost like a feral animal. He walked along the sides, running his hand over the smooth reflective surfaces, searching for a weak spot.

                A hidden door opened “Don’t go getting any ideas, Millennium Puzzle,” came a rather caviling voice. Yugi slowly turned to glare at the man before him.

                The man had long white hair that covered one eye. His expression was calm and impassive. “Do you know who I am, Millennium Puzzle?”

                “Yes…you are Pegasus, the man who started this project and brought Ryou and me here. You are the man who wiped my memory and have turned me into some kind of mutant.”

                Pegasus’s face remained emotionless. “So, you remember.”

                “No. I just came to that conclusion form the information I’ve gathered.”

                Pegasus laughed. The sound chilled Yugi to the bone. “Millennium Puzzle, you always were very bright. Always calculating, always testing, always threatening, always…protecting.” Yugi’s muscles tightened and he gritted his teeth. “I’m sure Ryou has filled you in on all that you’ve missed since your little vacation.” Pegasus’s face became hard and cruel. “Tell me, Millennium Puzzle, did you meet anyone?”

                “Yes, I did. I met a nice little kitty. I called him Mr. Fluffers,” Yugi retorted, surprising himself with his sudden boldness toward the man that obviously had the power to kill him. He didn’t know why, but even though his blood ran cold at the sight of this man, he still did not want to show any fear.

                Pegasus contorted in displeasure. “Millennium Puzzle, do you remember your other…friends?”

                “You mean your other lab rats? No, I don’t remember them. However, Ryou has informed me that he and I are the only ones left.”

                Pegasus shook his head. “Don’t sound so negative, Millennium Puzzle. After all, we terminated them because they were going to die eventually anyway.”

                “What are you saying?” Yugi hissed.

                “Their bodies, though accepting the machine compound, were rejecting the final experiment—the one that will make our project complete.”

                “What final experiment?”

                “Why, your heart. Our company is accomplishing great feats within these walls. Soon we will make history. We will have created the first robot to act and feel like a human.”

                “If that is your goal, then why are you taking the heart? The heart is the organ that you feel with! Without it, the body will be emotionless. It won’t be able to function!”

                Pegasus shook his head again. “Oh no, you misunderstand. We have already manufactured a highly sophisticated emotional monitoring system. It will be the indicator for all emotions. We need your heart because we cannot have any evidence left behind that would lead our consumers to believe that their purchased persocoms were not completely 100% machine. That’s why we call you the puzzle. You are the key to everything coming together.”

                Yugi’s eyes widened. “You’re not just making persocoms from humans. You’re making them from their corpses?”

                “In a way, yes. It’s much like that American film The Stepford Wives. We’re throwing everything but your body and mind away and re-programming you to be perfect. However, we were simply using you and those others for tests. Now that we have the correct codes and system, we can finally start manufacturing our persocoms.”

                “But you’ll be killing humans!”

                “Only humans that no one would miss. I don’t see how that is a crime.”

                Yugi’s body shook with anger. “Why…why are you doing this? What is your main reason?!”

                Pegasus tilted his head. He actually looked genuinely confused. “To become the greatest, Millennium Puzzle. To achieve something other men have never dared to attempt. To become the greatest persocom company ever. We will become rich! Don’t you see? Once the Millenium Lover series comes out, no one will ever be able to beat a persocom that is capable of love! Everyone will be buying!”

                Yugi hung his head. “For power and money, you have killed innocent people, taken away their humanity, and have attempted to become God.”

                “I am God at this point!” Pegasus yelled.

                Yugi balled his hands into fists. He gazed at the man in front of him, the man who truly was a monster, the man who had begun all this corruption. He was the man who had run series upon series of tests on animals and humans alike. The man who truly didn’t care about the fact that he was torturing living creatures. The man, who only cared about gain, not life. Yugi opened his palm and gazed at the crescent moon-shaped blood marks his fingernails had left. This was the man, who had turned him from a human…into something that should not truly even exist. It was then that something occurred to Yugi. He looked up and fixed Pegasus with a hard stare. “Why are you telling me all this?”

                Pegasus smiled. The expression seemed alien to him, as the skin on his face stretched abnormally around his jaw. “I’m telling you this, because you will be our first Millennium Lover.”

.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

                “Damn it,” Yusai growled for the third time as his computer screen flashed scarlet red and the words ‘access denied’ flashed annoyingly.

                “What’s the problem?” Mokuba asked.

                All of the men were in one of the main computer labs. Atem had sealed off the door by unhooking the combination pad, jamming it with two cotton swabs, and rearranging the wires. He had also used the pliers to dismantle one of the computer hard drives so Yusai could use his laptop to access the available data within. However, that process was bearing no fruit, for Yusai could not seem to figure our the password to the main assets bank. “They must have changed the damn word in the last twelve hours because this computer does not have the most recent password.” Yusai ran a hand through his hair.

                “Isn’t there another way?” Yami asked.

                “No. Unless we have that password, we can not access the documents we need or the maps of the locations to find which room Yugi is in.”

                Mokuba slammed his fist against the wall. “Damn it!”

                Jack immediately covered the boy’s mouth. “Shut it. Do you want us to get found out?”

                Mokuba glared at him but nodded, as if to agree that he would calm down. “Then how do you plan to go from here? Is there a way to get the password?”

                “Yes. Say please.”

                All men turned sharply to find Marik standing in the doorway.

                “What are you doing here?” Yami questioned.

                “You know this guy?” Jack asked.

                “We both do,” Mokuba answered, moving so he stood next to Yami.

                Marik seemed unscathed by the partial glares and sighed. “You know, you guys are just lucky it was me who saw you on the camera screen and not someone else.”

                “And why are we lucky?” asked Yusai.

                Marik grinned. “Because I’m on your side. Now come with me. We don’t have much time, and neither does Yugi.”
