"Yeah! You're officially eliminated from this tournament!" Allen yelled as his Rocket Warrior stood before him. Allen had finally won his fourth Network System Pass after a couple of hours searching and dueling. Mink too had been doing the same and she earned her four Network System Passes.

"There's the tower" Allen pointed. They quickly started to move over to the huge building. As they came to the entrance there was a security guard. Allen gave him his four Network System Passes.

"This early? Wow" The guard said sliding the four cards on his control panel which started to unlock the giant door. "Yeah why?" Allen asked.

"Usually it's hard to find duelist in the city when it's morning and only one person so far has entered. You guys are the next 2 which makes 3 finalists" The Guard explained. "You guys are lucky"

Mink gave the guard her Network System Passes. "That means... Dan hasn't made it here yet... I hope he hurries" She though as she went through the door. They were immediately guided by a host. "Welcome Duelist to the DOMA City Building. I am Simon. As you enter please follow me to the dinning room where lunch will be held" Simon said as he walked through the giant hall.

Allen and Mink followed to a large door. Simon opened it revealing a giant room with a long table. Jess and Yami were sitting infront of each other, eating lunch.

"Hey guys! Took you long enough. One hour atleast" Jess said standing up.

"Yes well you probably had a lot of dueling" Yami said. Allen sat next to him. "Yup, no one was match for me!" Allen boasted.

"Heh" Jess smirked. "I'm surprised Daniel isn't here with you" She mentioned.

"Yeah it's strange. He never ditches us in a tournament" Mink thought back when they were at Duelist Kingdom The 2nd. Daniel was excited to win this contest and he was there for them when they were in trouble.

Then suddenly Mink's thoughts cleared as the door opened again. "Now welcoming our 4th Duelist, Rahn" Simon announced and seating her.

"Whoa! You got here pretty fast" Mink said cheerfully. "Well yeah^^ It was tough but I got through it" Rahn replied holding up her deck.

"That's cool!" Mink replied.

It was now 6:00 and it was starting to get dark. The sun was setting rather fast and Daniel only had 2 Network System Passes. "So, alone on purpose or have you ditched your friends for yourself?" A familiar voice said behind him.

Daniel turned around. "Paul...." Daniel said in a stern voice. They were both standing infront of each other in the park.

"You know, ever since I dueled you and your little girlfriend... I've been getting this weird feeling.... Ra seems to be calling for me...." Paul said looking down at his Steel Plate.

"I've been having feelings too. I feel my end will be coming close." Daniel replied looking up to the sunset.

"Yes, I've felt that before our first duel. But I keep dueling and dueling. This Oracle isn't helpful to me any more. Maybe... Darkness isn't the right one for me. My Oracle Demon still lies within it" Paul said.

"You don't get it. The Oracles aren't evil, they aren't good. They're made like the Millennium Items. They have power like no other. You need to unleash that power. It's Ra that's holding you back" Daniel said.

Before Paul could reply there was a sudden yell. "YOU!" A boy yelled. As they both looked to their left they saw 4 kids, it was Seymour, Hikari, Mitaru, and Lance. "I've been wondering what happened to you guys... I challenge you to a duel!". Seymour was pointing at Daniel.

"I accept!" Daniel yelled as he took his Steel Disk out. "Wait" Paul said pulling him back.

"I'll duel you!" Paul yelled. "What are you doing?!" Daniel stammered.

"Heh, who are you" Seymour snapped.

"I'm someone you should be worrying about. If you don't duel me you don't duel him" Paul snapped.

"Fine, once I get both of you out of the way, me and my friends will be heading to the finals" Seymour bragged. The rest of them laughed.

"So how many Passes you got?" Paul asked.

"We all 2 have" Seymour replied.

"Well, how about a wager... If I win I earn all of your Network Passes and your decks" Paul said as he crossed his arms.

"No way!" Lance yelled.

"Shut up!" Seymour yelled. Lance crossed his arms and pouted. "And if I win, I get both of your Network Passes including your guys decks"

"Fine with me, let's get this duel started" Paul said as his Steel Plate folded out and slid his deck in the holsters. Seymour did the same.

"I'll take the first turn!" Paul yelled taking his 6 cards. "First I summon Lord of Dragons! (1200/1100) Then I'll activate Flute of Summoning Dragon to summon 2 Blue Eyes White Dragons (3000/2500)". He then set one card face down and ended his turn.

Seymour drew his 6th card. "Now I'll summon Warrior of Freed (1200/1300) so I can summon another monster, Death Volstargaf! (2200/1700)" He announced. He then placed one card face down and ended his turn.

"That was your first and final mistake" Paul teased.

"What are you talking about?!" Seymour yelled.

"Just watch!" Paul yelled holding up a card in his hand. "This card I hold, is one monster you'll never forget. You possibly can't defeat it! Now! I sacrifice both my blue eyes and lord of dragons to summon my ultimate beast! Divine Dragon of Ra! (0000/0000 +7200)". A giant glowing orb appeared, lighting up the whole park. Ra slowly shifted into it's form ready to attack as flames sprouted around it.

"No way!" Hikari said in shock. "He has a god card!" Mitaru screamed. Everyone but Seymour ran off, leaving their decks and Network System Passes.

"Now! I'll sacrifice all my life points but one to raise it's attack!" Paul laughed as his monster grew to 11100. "Now! Attack his Warrior of Freed!"

Ra opened it's mouth and it's and let out a furious blast at the warrior which pummeled it badly and effecting Seymour's life points. Seymour was in shock and fainted from the giant blast.

Paul walked over, picked up the decks and Passes, then walked back over to Daniel. "I need that Oracle Demon" He said. Paul was taller then Daniel and older but Daniel knew he was mature than him.

"Listen! You have Ra, why would you ditch it on the spot!" Daniel yelled as Paul walked passed him. Paul stopped and smiled.

"I see" he said and turned around. Paul then threw 2 Network System Passes to him.

"Wait!" Daniel said as he started to walk off.

"Take them. I don't need them" Paul said as he disappeared into the dark. Daniel looked down at the two. "Maybe he really has changed" He though as he headed another direction to DOMA Tower.

As Allen finished gorging himself with food the door opened again. This time two people came in but they didn't see Daniel anywhere. "Now introducing Luke and Paul" Simon said as he led them in.

"You, so your name is Luke" Allen yelled standing up. "Looks like the squirt actually made it here" The big guy said bumping Allen's chair on purpose so he could sit at the head of the table. He leaned back, putting his feet on the table. Jess was grossed out to what was under his shoes.

"I hope you know you're going down when the finals start!" Allen yelled.

"Heh I doubt it Alley boy" Luke replied. Allen growled.

"Wow, surprising you made it here" Mink said to Paul as she sipped her tea.

"I ran into Daniel...." Paul said looking down at his bowl of soup.

"Really where is he?" Jess said looking over Luke's feet.

"Last I saw him he was in the park. We had a chat. He got his 4 Passes" Paul said.

"That's good to hear, he should be here any moment" Yami said strangely looking at Luke.

"We're down to the last 2, Daniel better hurry" Jess said. She finally couldn't take it. "DUDE MOVE YOUR STUPID FEET!". Jess quickly lifted his legs into the he air which sent Luke into the ground.

"You stupid little!" Luke yelled getting up looking like he was going to kill her.

"That's enough" a voice said through the door. It was Vice. "There'll be no hassling around here or you two will be kicked out of the Finals"

"Vice...." Mink hissed.

"Well, I see some familiar faces" Vice taunted, sitting at the other end of the table. Both Luke and Rahn sat up straight in their chairs as Vice sat down.

"What brings you here" Jess demanded.

"I thought I could win this contest myself. Unless you can do anything about it" Vice teased. Jess grew angry.

Daniel walked up to the entrance of DOMA Tower, starring in a strange window. The window inside had Roa.

"Yessss my souls. Come to me. Make me powerful" Roa thought as his giant stone wall started to magically grow images of duelists. Since a lot of duelist were using Orichalcos Seals it was also taking souls making Roa much more powerful. He came down the hall and through his magic mirror, Spinks was in the room.

"Hows the plan going" Roa asked.

"We need the 8th finalist" Spinks said. Suddenly there was a beep in Spinks ear. He had a small radio. He pressed on his ear.

"never mind we have the 8th finalist" He said to Roa.

"Excellent. Let the finals start at 9" Roa said as he sat down at the head of the long table. Spinks left the room.

Daniel came casually walking into the diner room. Mink, Allen, Yami, and Jess greeted him. "Jeez where have you been?!" Jess said giving him a slight wap to the head.

"Just looking for opponents. I made it through." Daniel replied as he looked around. He saw some familiar faces, Paul, Luke, and Rahn. But the thing that got him most, was Vice.

"I should have known you'd be entering...." Daniel said sternly as he passed Vice.

"Well you can't beat em all. But I can" Vice bragged. Daniel scowled at him and took a seat next to Yami.

It was going to be a long day in The Doom Building. Rahn and Luke looked at each other knowing their own little secret. Yami still had his eye on them.

"I think you should be careful of them" Yami whispered to Allen.

"What? Rahn is possibly the nicest person and Luke... he's just a jerk" Allen said. Yami sighed.

Paul didn't care. He wanted to win and show he's the greatest duelist of them all. He wouldn't let Daniel hold it against him anymore. Mink was in it for the destiny she beholds. She wanted to be known for something. Jess wanted to show how good she is and defeat everyone. Allen wanted in because he was there for Daniel. He'd help him in any situation.
