Chapter 4: Stars, and Destruction (Goten's and Trunks Scouting Adventure Pt II)

~*~

Usagi stared at the crystal blue sky, watching the clouds float by gently. She sighed as she rolled over and sat up. She put her elbow to her knee and rested her chin in the palm of her hand. She was never the one to have patience.

"I can't wait anymore!" Usagi screamed to no one in general, "I NEED SOME ACTION!"

Yugi stared at the screaming blond, she was very pretty but much older then he was and definitely not his type.he sighed monotonously and waked over to the small lake where Honda and Duo where sparring to keep up there skills. Duo was winning because of his prodigious speed, but Honda's audacious attacks if they made contact would probably hurt a lot. (Duo had gotten away from Wufei before, who was calmed down by Usagi who threatened to steal his katana while he was sleeping). Yugi then walked over to Wufei who was standing under a willow tree, watching Usagi.

"Hey.what you doing Wufei?" Yugi asked.

"She's such a weak onna, I can't believe she gets to be a stronger knight then me!" Wufei spat in rage.

"Well one time I was playing this video game, I think it was Final Fantasy 9 and the girl Garnet had a pure heart so she was able to gain the ability of white magic. I think white magic requires a very pure heart. I admit I am not also true to my heart, it's a hard thing to do. But she must have mastered it, and that's why the game granted her the Magic, it has nothing to do with skill." Yugi explained softly trying not to infuriate the Chinese swordsman.

Wufei nodded his head in recognition, he respected Yugi for what he had said but did not say anything afterward. He just the turned to watch the surroundings.now all they had to do was wait for Goten and Trunks to come back.if they would come back alive.Yugi on the other hand was thinking about a certain dark haired girl who he had met that morning.

Goten and Trunks had been fighting an army of Orcs for about two hours, each Orc individually was easy to destroy by and simple stab of their staffs but dealing with about 100,000 Orcs turned out to be an even harder challenge then before. Goten tried to kill of several at once by using his Fire magic. It killed some but not all.

"FIRE!" Goten's staff was pointing at a group of fifty Orcs, but all that happened was a mini puff of smoke. "WHAT?!"

Trunks came to his rescue by using the last of his water magic; finally they had killed almost all of them. Goten had also found something on the ground, which said ether. (All Final Fantasy Fans know that an Ether replenishes Magic Points, but if you didn't know now you do) Goten, noticed the labelings and drank half the bottle, throwing the rest to Trunks. With that they were able to finish the battle.

"Goten, I'm glad you found that Ether." Trunks sighed, and looked into the distance, "AVILLAGE!"

And in the distance there was a small village, it looked quaint enough. Trunks out of extreme joy began to sprint towards the village, followed by an exhausted Goten. It took them about ten minutes to reach the village when the were greeted by a young girl who was about twelve.

"Hello and welcome to the Village of Arad, I'm Rhi the village Mage in training. You look weary from battle, please follow me to the local inn and tavern." She said as if it had been programmed into her small head.

Goten and Trunks followed the girl to a large building built of most wood but some concrete, from outside voices of joyous men could be heard bellowing. Trunks entered first followed by Goten who thanked the girl. They entered and walked to the front desk where a woman in her forties was sitting drinking tea.

"Um, we would like a room for the night ma'am" Trunks said.

"Oh! I'm sorry dears I didn't notice you there!" She said blushing slightly, "There is one room left.it's up their stairs all the way down the hall to the left, you can't pass it!" She said handing them a small key, "That'll be 20 Gil."

Trunks and Goten stopped in there tracks, they had no way of paying for the room. Goten took the pack he had and searched for anything that looked like money, he found some, and it clearly said 10 on two of the coins so Goten pulled that out and handed it to woman who smiled.

"Thanks ma'am" Trunks said, "And could you tell me where I can find the item shop?" Trunks said using his knowledge of RPG. (Role Playing Games)

"It's the last store on this street, it'll be closed soon so you might want to hurry before it closes dear."

"Thank again Ma'am" Trunks then turned to Goten, "I'm going to the Item Shop, you give me the pack and hang out in the room and don't get in trouble, alright?"

"Sure, no problem!" Goten said smiling.

Trunks headed out the door, while Goten walked up the stairs. As Trunks stared into the night sky he noticed the bright stars and began to think how the entire game was created. He put those thoughts aside and walked into the Item shop, he found the clerk was sleeping peacefully on the table, with a tad bit of drool coming out of his mouth.

"Um excuse me?" Trunks said poking the man in the head.

"WHOSE THERE?!" The man screamed sitting up.

"I wanted to buy some things." Trunks said half laughing, "Um 20 potions, and 20 ethers."

"Sure, sorry 'bout that" The man came back with the supplies, "That'll be 550 gil"

Trunks searched the pack to find the amount of money needed. He handed it to the clerk and left.

"Trunks! Mage of Earth!" Trunks heard a young girl cry. It was the girl from the beginning who had given him his powers. "You must hurry back! Goten is in grave danger!"

"WHAT?!" Trunks screamed. He turned around immediately and ran for the Tavern. The Girl disappeared.

Seto, Mokuba, and Hotaru had been walking through the Labyrinth for hours, they had been through traps galore but were still unharmed.

"I'm so tired." Hotaru said coughing her small legs shaking.

"Yea Seto, Taru-san needs some rest we should wait awhile." Mokuba said helping Hotaru stand.

"Fine, but it can't be for more then about a half an hour, we don't want to be trapped in here"

The two nodded, and Mokuba sat Hotaru against a wall, and sat next to her. Seto sat against another wall and crossed his arm, resting his eyes.

"Um, Seto-san, could you explain how you got into the game if all the pods where taken?" Hotaru asked her dark violet eyes very interested.

"Well once I learned that there was a serious problem with the system I entered the game to see what was the matter by using one of the prototypes. Now I know what has happened. There's a hacker in the building who is manipulating the game sequence, he or she has the ability to end the game of restart it from the beginning but for some scary reason I think that the hacker won't restart the game just yet." Kaiba said staring at the ceiling.

"Oh.so how many prototypes are there?"

"Five, four left.so other could be able to enter." Kaiba replied to Hotaru.

Mokuba was really not paying attention to what the two were saying, just to the small, fragile girl next to him. Her pale skin was look so soft, and her eyes were dark spheres of sapphire. She was adorable, and intelligent. But the one thing was she was very physically weak. She would cough a lot and look like she would pass out once in a while. Mokuba felt funny, he felt something different towards her. Maybe he liked her, a lot. He was to nervous to say anything to her. He just felt like the luckiest guy on the planet sitting next to her. Then he looked passed her and saw something odd that he hadn't seen throughout the entire Labyrinth, it was an odd statue of some sort of goddess. He stood up and walked up to it.

"What are you looking at Mokuba?" Seto asked.

"This statue, it's odd I can tell there's something about this that will get us out of here." Mokuba tried to push it and once he was successful he found a large button underneath it. "Look!"

Without thinking Mokuba pressed the button, and a large slab of cement brick moved aside revealing three things. A set of bells, eight of them. A Glaive. And ten cards.

"What the?" Mokuba said in shock.

Hotaru walked over to Mokuba and saw what was inside, she also noticed writings on the wall:

For the Daughter of Death For the Bringer of Life The Bells with Bring forth The Glaive will Send back The cards are the key to the Destruction Be Warned The Balance is in your hands.

Hotaru walked up and examined the bells, oddly enough on the inside of one pouch was her name, Hotaru, written in beautiful script.

"This must be my weapons!" Hotaru said putting the bells around her chest.

She grabbed the Glaive and put it in her space pocket. She then examined the cards, Death, Life, Destruction, Justice, Joker, Skies, Earth, Grace, Truth, Knowledge. They were written in Japanese on the top and each had it's own picture represent what each card meant.

"Good!" A small voice called, "You've found the items of Doom."

"Who are you?"
