Previously on Caught RedHanded:

The man stopped abruptly as he felt something cold and sharp press against the side of his neck. Dark brown eyes widened. He hadn't heard or sense anyone approached, except-

"Drop the gun."

________________________

Not even daring to move a single muscle, he strains his voice to talk back to the person behind him. The only servant that is accompanying him to follow his orders. Or at least, he used to.

"W-Why you little-"

"Nah uh ah~ You shouldn't try talking back to me now, Mr. Bossy-Pants. You might regret it."

Gozaburo "tsk." at the mockery tone that was aiming at him, but mostly was the sharp cool object that is still pressing against the back of his neck. He curses subconsciously as he frantically tries to reel his mind off the situation and find an opening. An escape route. Anything!

"It's no use."

Another voice that decided to appear before them steps out of the shadows from within the corner and into the light. Revealing his least favorite antagonist that always get in his way of his goals and plans. Surely he should have expected this sort of outcome, but still, wonder- "How are you here? I made sure to lock you up in that basement."

If it weren't for the weapon that is sinking deeper into his skin, he would have just shoot Yugi Mutou on the spot without bothering to receive an answer. Instead, his grip on the gun tighten as Yugi's cold eyes send shivers down his spine. Yugi then took a step forward, which cause him to snap out of his own trance before he shouted, "Stay back!"

His finger is already on the trigger. All he need to do now is pull it and-

"I don't think so."

Suddenly, the sharp object was gone and then replace with a sudden kick that took out most of the air within him. Despite being obviously defeated, he made an effort to shoot and pulled the trigger. Believing that Seto Kaiba will soon join to hell; he did not expect this.

Seto Kaiba, who once stood in front of him, is replaced by another person who quickly pushed the real Seto down to the ground. However, he at least received a painful gasped that shows that the bullet had hit its mark on the person's shoulder.

"Damn you!"

Another kick to the head caused him to fall limply to the ground; unconscious, but still half awake.

"It's over. From now on, it's back to the prison cell for you, you f*cking bastard."

With all his strength, he gazes up to find another familiar face that disguised himself as his servant. Revealing it to be Heba Mutou. He couldn't help but laugh at how all his plan was flush down to his demise and disappointment. He should have killed him. He should have killed his enemies himself before they have the chance to regroup and destroy him. Was it because of old age, or because his brain is just simply shutting down at him. Resulting his body to be auto-pilot, but keep making mistakes and tripping his own feet ever time. He wants nothing more but to drive this feeling of failure and anger deep into the head of the company; so that they will all feel his resentment, anger, hate, despise, loath, and dark negative that is swirling in his head. In addition, we want his revenge.

"I-I...do not...think so."

Before he slips into unconscious, he pulled out a remote control device from his pocket before activating it with a press of the button.

The building began to shake.

"What the-!? What the hell!"

Heba was startled at the sudden earthquake before he quickly caught something to steady him. Not want to fall over and hit his head on something hard and painful. Yugi groan as his vision is getting bleary from the lack of blood that is flowing out of his injured shoulder, but was able to stable himself from falling too. Seto, on the other hand, took hold of something beneath his desk before pulling out a first-aid kit. He began applying the basic treatment on Yugi's wound.

"The bullet is inside of you. It's best if we hurry and get you to the hospital before you get infected. I can already see a bit of gunpowder stuck on your skin."

Yugi winced when Seto added pressure on the wound to stop the blood flow. Even though he is grateful for Seto's kindness, he does not enjoy the feeling of rushing pain from his arm, then to his head as Seto continue to press it even further.

It hurt like sh*t!

"We have to get out of here!"

Everyone in the room snapped their head towards another of their ally to see Yami panting and frantic expression. Clearly ran the whole way from the bottom floor then towards the top. Seriously, this guy run crazy!

"Y-Yami?"

"Yugi? What the hell happen!?"

Yami didn't waste time because, in less than two seconds, he is already right next to Yugi. Inspecting how bad the injury is, he turns towards Seto and announced, "The bottom floors are blown up."

"Blown up?"

"Yeah. When I made sure that everyone on the first floor is evacuated, I found out that there were hidden bombs planted in plant pots. I came as soon as possible to warn you, but the elevator isn't working for some reason."

"So you used the stairs."

"Exactly."

"Wait a minute!" Heba, making sure that Guzboro is totally asleep, he asked, "If we can't get down from here and out of this building, how are we going to escape!?"

Yugi, making sure to get used to the pain, he stood up and cradled his injured arm before looking at Seto directly.

"Don't you have a helicopter on the roof?"

"No. I'll call them right away for a helicopter to get us to safety."

Seto swipes his pocket smoothly, before making the call.

"Good. For now, all of us have to head to the rooftop before the-"

Another explosion, one that they can be heard clearly below, caused them to jerk their head in the direction of the explosion.

"Damn it! The fire is spreading faster than I have anticipated. We have to hurry and get out of here!"

Yugi struggled to walk towards the close door before he yelp, much to his embarrassment, as he was suddenly off the ground and into the arms of Yami.

"I'll carry you. Seto, Heba, you get the old man and try to follow me."

"H-Hey! I can walk you know! Get me down!"

Yugi struggled to get himself down when Yami's grip tighten, causing Yugi to look up to see a dark hint of indigo, mix with a dark color of red, before he sternly said, "I will not let you walk with an injured arm that has a bullet embedding in it. So, I suggest that you hang tight, and, dare if you try, not let go of me until we get out of here!"

For the first time, Yugi felt himself obeying to Yami's order as he shut his mouth and let Yami carry the whole way to safety. Heba and Seto, took hold of both Gozaburo's side before they, too, follow and into the raging fire that began to eat it's way in.

Meanwhile, Ryou, Malik, and Joey made their way down the corridor of the mansion house before they found a portrait hanging right off of the wall. Another dead end.

"Is this it?"

"I believe so. Let's just check."

Joey and Malik nodded before both of them took hold of either side of the portrait and lifted off its hinges. Finally, they found what they were looking for.

"Bingo."

Ryou immediately began working on hacking the small security code from the monitor device, until he made his way into breaking down the wall of barriers that was put there for added protection.

Malik and Joey slowly lifted the portrait of an old lady in Queen Elizabeth's time, before gently setting it down.

"You know. Last I check, Yugi never been here before. So how did he know where the secret 'lair' that is ("quote quote") behind the painting of his late mother?"

(Not Yugi's mother. Gozaburo's mother)

"No idea."

It was a mystery to all of them but decided to ask Yugi later. With a victory smile, Ryou steps back as the wall before them began to slide open and revealed an elevator that will lead them down to Gozaburo's laboratory/secret base.

"Come on guys. The sooner we finish up, the sooner I can relax and maybe take a shower."

"You don't have to tell us twice. I'm hungry."

"You're always hungry, idiot."

"Who are ya calling an idiot, blondie!"

"Are you against blond people, blondie?"

"Shut up!"

By then, they already took the elevator and heading down into the dark abyss.

(Me: Ooohhh~~~~ Sssspppoookkkyyy~~~

Joey: Uhh....leave the ghost thing when it's Halloween.

Me: Fine~*pout*)

When the elevator doors open, they step out to finds themselves in the middle of high-tech engines, tools, metal, lights, and other scientific stuff.

"Alright. Malik, you go left to find a computer that may access the program with the old man's tech. Joey, you go to the right. Same thing. Hollow if you found something. I'll search here."

"Roger."

They began their search, while at the same time admire the workmanship that this guy had invented. Malik enjoyed a good looking staff that sparks up by the end of the tip; setting out electricity and towards the wall.

"Oops..."

Or the fact, that Joey is playing with fire.

Literally.

"Ekkkk!"

(Me: *sigh* How troublesome.)

Ryou made his way around the many gadgets that are spilled everywhere before be caught sight of an enormous looking TV screen that took up most of the laboratory's space.

"Another bingo. Guys! I found it!"

Not waiting to check if they are there or not, he began hacking. After a while, he finally made his way to the last stage in order for the plan to work.

"A password. Great."

Ryou muttered bitterly before he unloads his bag and began searching his small codec cube to help the progress faster.

~Error~

"Tsk. Again."

~Error~

"It should be something related. But what?"

Ryou continue to type the damn code if it weren't for the sudden feeling that they are began watched.

"Malik. Joey. Check if we are alone. Make sure that no one enter the room."

"Roger."

Taking their gun, the began searching the perimeter. By chance, Malik saw something move before he made his way to investigate.

Or at least, he was about to before he dodges a close call laser beam that shoots out of nowhere!

"What the hell!?"

The stranger, that shot the laser beam and almost smother him to death, revealed himself to be........a robot?

"Cool!" Malik jumps up in excitement like he was secretly waiting for Santa to make himself appear out of the chimney and surprise him....then take all of the goods and presents for himself.

"Stop making goo-goo eyes like some weird nut-wit and shoot it!"

Joey aims his target before pulling the trigger. The bullet hit its mark against the metal skin of its built figure. Joey smirk but that quickly disappear when he have to dodge his previous bullet before he shouts, "Look out!"

"Uh? Wah!" Ryou barely dodge the attack as it embedded it on the keyboard that he was using previously.

"Oh, just great. Just f*cking great! Sh*t!"

(I never heard Ryou curse so much before.

Joey and Malik: Us too. *Shivered in fear*)

The system began to malfunction as he quickly tries to lower the electricity pulse, while at the same time trying to decode the password. It was frustrating to work, but he has to try.

Not only for him but also Joey and Malik as they work together to find out the robot weakness.

"Damn it all! If only Yugi was here! He would know what to do."

"Yeah right! Even if he's that smart, it's not like he is a genius or anything."

"True, but I wouldn't have minded if I have at least have half of his brain of smartness. It suddenly makes me want to feel jealous."

Jealous? That's it!

"That's the password!"

"Eh?!?!?!"

Ryou made a double-check until he finally receives: Access Affirmed.

Ryou made a little dance of his own (In his mind, mind you) before he continues his assignment.

"Uh? Ryou! If you have time, could you try speeding it up a BIT MORE FASTER PLEASE!"

"Don't rush me!"

Malik and Joey grunted as they dodge another attack from what would look like to be the robot's arm before Malik used his new staff and plunge it inside it's back.

"Yes!"

It was cut off short, however, when he suddenly felt a jolt of 2x the pain of electricity coursing through him before he screams out in pain and let go.

"Malik! Why you son of a-Ah!"

Before he knew it, he was also blown off and made contact with the wall, hard.

Seeing that both of them are down and defeated, it now made it's way towards its last intruder.

"R-Ryou..."

Joey tried to stand up but, wince from the head injury. He might have a concussion if they don't survive this.

Ryou was sweating and trying to rush the process faster. At the same time, he made sure that the robot is still a bit distance away from him before he yanks something off of his neck and inserts it within the USB computer plugging.

"Code 148264B. Set charge to reverse. Shut down ICP Robot GK X 1000."

~Access Accept. Code 148264B. Setting charger to reverse auto. Dismantling GK X 1000~

The sound of a program shutting down had reach Ryou's ears as he hesitantly turns around before meeting face to face with a robot's arm that was about to punch him. He sighs in relief before he glared at it and kicked it away from him.

"Tsk! Lousy robot."

Ryou then noticed his friends and quickly made his way to see if they are injured.

Malik seems to be fine as long as he doesn't move too much from the shock. Maybe paralyzing him for a minute or two.

Joey, on the other hand, needs medical attention. The back of his head looked like it's already swollen, while there is a gash wound on his left arm. The robot must have used a knife of some sort and was able to get the hit.

Ryou took out a spare roll of gauze bandages and began wrapping around the wound, and around Joey's head. While treating him, Joey took his time to open his eyes and groan in pain. His hand reflexing towards his wound to sustain it and keeping him steady.

"You have a concussion on the head and a long gash wound on your left arm. Malik is still unconscious because of the shock, so we might have to carry him."

"T-The robot...what?"

"I was able to make a command and access the file code that was stashed away somewhere within the program before I force the system inside the robot to shut down. Though it took me a while to, not only find a way to release the virus on itself, but also the robot's center core division."

"And the USB that was delivered to us. The one that was supposed to be used to destroy Seto's file back at the party, where is it?"

"I already load it. All we need to do is wait for the virus to completely let loose and destroy Gozaburo's work."

"Is it only his work, or does it spread even further?"

"No. Don't worry. I reset the virus to destroy its own creator only. Those that are related to Gozaburo's work will now be eaten away before the viruses eat each other up-"

"Until there is nothing left! Ryou, you're a genius!"

Ryou proudly smirked.

"Of course, I am! What did you expect?"
