Chapter 34: New Power: Obelisk.
______________________________
Paul looked beyond the city. He didn't know what to do now. He couldn't risk staying in this city or in any city.
"Hello brother..." A voice said in an alley. Paul turned around and saw Darien, leaning on the wall of a building.
"You..." Paul growled, throwing off his large coat.
"Oh, you don't want to make a bigger fuss do you..." Darien smirked. "I have more bombs around and with your name embedded on them. I can torture you forever! This is so fun!"
"You'll pay for this..." Paul said. Anger filled his eyes. It was not fair at all. He knew he didn't deserve this.
Suddenly Mink and Jess walked it on the two brothers talking each other out. "Look!" Mink pointed out.
"Oh lookey here..." Darien smirked.
"You leave them out of this!" Paul yelled.
"Why should I?" Darien said. Suddenly Darien took out a black object from his trench coat.
"What the?!" Paul said. The black shining object was familiar, to Mink's Millennium Rod.
"Fear my... Obelisk Staff!" Darien yelled, thrusting his arm into the air. Suddenly a dark dome spread over the three people, covering the surrounding area.
"Where are we?!" Mink said looking around.
"You should know, all of you have been here" Darien smirked. "The Black Dimension!"
"Not this place again..." Jess thought.
"But this is not the place I wanted to take you all." Darien said. Suddenly the black dome came down, sucking back into his Obelisk Staff. Suddenly they were infront of a large cliff. There was a temple entrance.
"The tomb of the God Cards.... No! He plans to take them!" Mink said. Darien then headed up onto the stairs, getting near to the tomb.
"Not so fast!" Mink yelled, whipping out her Millennium Rod. She pointed at him but nothing happened. "What?!"
"Why isn't it working?!" Jess said in shock.
"I don't know!" Mink panicked, banging the thing on her hand.
"It never was meant to be yours." Darien laughed as he disappeared into the tomb. Jess saw Paul run into the tomb as well.
"Come on, let's go!" Jess said running off. Jess had grabbed Mink's arm and they both ran into the dark tomb.
"Stop!" Paul yelled with all his might before Darien laid a finger on the seal.
"Heh..." Darien smirked, turning around. Paul gasped, inside, as he saw the dark glowing Millennium Symbol on his forehead. His hair spiked up and his eyes grew evil. "Besides... What do you plan to do? With this I can over power you and your little stupid friends."
Paul grew even more mad. He didn't want Darien to be more powerful than him. "I won't let you us the god cards..." He said, looking down.
"HA!" Darien laughed. He pointed the Obelisk Staff and Paul. Suddenly a black wave shot out, blasting him to the ground. As Jess and Mink stopped then and there, Paul went dragging to their feet.
"How could you do this to your brother?!" Jess screamed.
"He isn't my brother. He's never been my brother. And you two aren't going to do anything to stop me!" Darien yelled, getting ready to blast them like he did to Paul. Suddenly a black wave came out of his staff.
Jess closed her eyes and her Millennium Ring phased out from her chest. Suddenly a golden dome popped out, surrounding Mink and Paul, creating a shield.
"God... I forgot about those stupid Millennium Items." Darien thought.
"If you said that I'm not suppose to own the Millennium Rod, then who?!" Mink yelled.
"Why should I tell you" Darien grinned. "Even if you give it to the right person, they'll try to stop me for sure."
Suddenly Mink looked down at Paul. It was coming together like a puzzle. Almost every bad guy they had a conversation with mentioned Paul, and his past.
"No wonder..." She said to herself. She crouched down and grabbed Paul's hand. She took out the Millennium Rod and took the sheath off. "Now I mark you. The Millennium Rod will belong to you!"
Mink then slid the sharp edge across the palm of his hand, then another slit. She then made another, and another until there were six lines, crossing each other, forming the Orichalcos Seal. Suddenly the wound on his hand healed and the Orichalcos Seal burned on his hand. Paul came alive again and grasped the Millennium Rod.
"What are you doing?!" Jess said in shock.
"What?!" Darien said in shock as well. Paul stood up, the Millennium Symbol glowing on his forehead. "That's right... He's the reincarnation of the Ancient Preist, Set."
Paul's eyes opened and blinding yellow light disburst. He pointed the Millennium Rod at him. " I will not let you unleash the power of the gods." He said. Suddenly a giant yellow wave shot through the rod and at Darien.
Darien screamed in pain, falling to his knee. "Impressive, little brother. But not as impressive as this!" Darien yelled.
Paul turned around and grabbed Jess' Millennium Ring. "I need this" He mumbled and tore it off of her neck. Paul pointed the Millennium Ring infront of the wave which deflected it.
"Not fair, little brother." Darien smiled, waving his finger.
"Heh, like you were fair. You bombed those buildings. There isn't any other way but to erase the world's minds" Paul said.
"How do you plan to do that?!" Darien said, taking a step back. Paul remained silent and pointed the Millennium Rod up in to the air. Suddenly a giant wave of gold light flashed out.
From space, there was a giant gold wall slowly going around the world. Everyone's mind was being erased of the memories of the horrific scene of Darien's bombs.
The giant wall of light disappeared as it ended to the last feat feet of the world. Suddenly Paul fell to his knees. The Millennium Symbol on his forehead disappeared and he fainted.
"Wake up!" Jess yelled holding him up.
"Good. Now that he's out of the way... I can finally destroy you" Darien smirked. He pointed the Obelisk Staff at them.
Mink grabbed the Millennium Rod from Paul's hand and pointed it at Darien. Suddenly another gold wave shot out. The wave smacked into Darien, sending him flying. He dropped the Obelisk Staff and it cracked.
"No!" Darien yelled, reaching for the staff. Suddenly a black vortex appeared, sucking up everyone and tossing them back to Domino City in random places.
Darien fell onto the ground, gasping for air. The Obelisk Staff, which lies infront of him, cracked. "How could this have happened" He thought.
"Because you underestimated the power of the Millennium Items" A voice snickered. He looked up and saw Bakura infront of him. "But I question why you have something related to the Millennium Rod. But of course it's chipped so it's not worth my time"
"Ryou Bakura... I should've guessed we'd meet some day. Seeming how you always pop up when your not wanted." Darien smirked, standing up.
"Heh" Bakura smirked.
"So. Since you're all popular with the Millennium Items. Tell me there weaknesses." Darien said, grasping his staff tightly.
"Why should I" Bakura taunted.
"Because a person like you deserves some respect. The girl, she knows about you. Her strength with the Millennium Ring grows stronger and soon she'll be able to over power you" Darien said.
Suddenly Bakura's mind went into anger. He didn't want to be sealed away again. "Fine. But I know little about their weaknesses. Plus you must tell me where you got such an item. I want more information" He agreed. They both shook.
Darien smiled, deep inside. He knew with Bakura on his side, he couldn't lose now.
