Chapter 77: Aftermath
________________________________
"Are you sure you can stand?" Allen said helping Daniel out of the bed.
"I feel totally fine." Daniel said stepping out, needing a little bit of support.
Paul came walking into the hospital room. "I'd like you all to know that I've made it passed and Vice and me will be battling it out for the last duel." He said.
"Well congrats" Mink said.
"Yeah that's cool!" Daniel said.
"Thanks, but I assure you all, the battles won't end. There's still unfinished business to take care of." Paul said.
Allen looked at the clock. It was now 10:00 and it was as black as night. "I wonder where Devon is..." Allen said.
"He is reachable." Paul said.
"Really how?!" Daniel said in excitement.
"He still has his Duel Xero, it can be tracked by the P.K Satellite." Paul said. "But we won't be doing that until this competition is over."
"Psst, Vice!" A voice said from the window. Vice looked over to see Spinks and Diego.
"What are you guys doing here?" Vice growled.
"We heard the great news! But why didn't you use the seal?" Diego asked.
"Fools..." Vice grumbled.
"Let us in!" Spinks said. Vice ignored them.
"Remember this, we're a team. If you don't treat us like a team then you're against us." Diego growled. Vice sighed and walked over, unlocking the door. Diego and Spinks quickly came in.
"Once you guys figure your fates then you'd realize the Orichalcos Seal is useless." Vice said, slamming the door shut. Spinks threw off his coat onto the rack and warmed himself up.
"So where are the little tykes?" Diego said. "We have a score to settle"
"Oh please." Vice said walking off. Diego and Spinks followed.
"Being an important figure in life isn't really that bad. You get the respect you deserve." Spinks said.
"It's not about respect or being better." Vice said. "Fate has lead us here. I don't need to be evil. All I need is what I believe is right. Paul here has been treating us bad, it's his turn to see what he's up against."
Suddenly the lights went out and red lights turned on and there was an alarm. "Sir!" The judge said coming into the hospital room. "There's been a malfunction! We must exit the building, everyone!"
"Oh great." Paul growled. Everyone left the building, into the stairs of the entrance. It was cold out.
"What are you guys doing here!" Allen yelled, pointing at Diego and Spinks.
"Wouldn't you like to know" Spinks smirked.
"No one invited you!" Mink hissed.
Spinks and Diego stared down at Mink and Allen, vice versa. "Come on guys, besides, who are you two?" Kai asked.
"These guys tried to take our souls. They're bad!" Allen growled.
"Oh, but that was a long time ago right? The past is over!" Kai said.
"Back off, runt. This is none of your business" Spinks said pushing Kai away.
"Bad news" Paul said. "We won't be able to finish the last duel without the building."
"Why not duel in the street." Daniel suggested.
"Worth a try, but won't really be traditional." Paul said.
"Who cares about tradition! Just duel and get this lame tournament over with!" Diego said.
"How long before we can use the building?" Paul asked.
"In about a day, sir" The judge said.
"We have to use the building, it's tradition and if any of you disagree then you don't have to be here." Paul said.
"I'll wait." Vice said.
"Great, what are we going to do in a day?" Allen said, rolling his eyes.
"I guess we search for Devon." Daniel said.
"Yeah! Paul, can you reach your satellite?" Mink asked.
"There's a computer in the car, follow me." Paul said. Diego, Spinks, and Vice stayed behind, thinking it was a waste of time.
They arrived into Paul's garage and he lifted the door to reveal a blue sports card. He opened the trunk, taking out a suitcase. He opened it, entering a number.
The screen turned on and he got into the program. He searched his name and then got it. "Looks like he's on Domino Overdrive." He said.
"Good, let's get over there." Mink said.
Everyone bunched into the car and Paul drove off. Daniel seemed a bit quiet. Paul looked over. "Yeah, he's your friend but this is my problem too." Paul said.
"I know, but I'm also worried about school..." Daniel said looking out the window.
"Oh yeah, school starts in like a couple weeks." Allen said. "The Hamikai High School.. Our old school got shut down. And... that's where the Super 65 has their hide out."
"Yeah... We'd have to be careful " Daniel said. "The Super 65 has the Orichalcos Seal."
"Well, that's neat. I'll be working as a student teacher there" Paul said.
"Dude... Your what now? 19?" Allen said.
"You must have been a child prodigy." Mink smirked.
"Know this, even if you're in my class, I won't go easy." Paul said.
"Whatever..." Jess said, rolling her eyes. It'd be everyone's Junior Year once school started again. Suddenly a screen popped up on Paul's screen, it was Devon.
"I knew you'd be following..." Devon smirked.
"What the..." Paul said.
"I hope you all have a nice ride, because this is going to be your last!" Devon laughed. Suddenly the car took a sharp turn to the sea harbor.
"Crap! He's going to sink us!" Kai yelled.
Allen tried to open the door but it was stuck. Paul couldn't turn off the car and they were getting closer past the docks. Jess grabbed Paul's suit case and slammed it through the window.
Daniel heard the shattering window. Allen got up to the window. "Tuck and roll..." Mink said, pushing him out. Allen let out a cry rolling across the cement.
Mink, Jess, and Kai then jumped out. They laid there, in some pain. They finally came to their senses seeing the card. Up in the front seat it was more complicated.
"Oh crap, hold on tight!" Paul said, holding onto the stirring wheel tight. They splashed into the water hard.
Daniel felt water come up from his feet and the car was filling up fast. Paul quickly unbuckled his seat belt. He slightly pushed the window off and swam out and onto the surface. Allen, Mink, and Jess looked over.
"Where's Dan?!" Allen said in horror.
"I don't know!" Paul said. Allen jumped into the water and they both dove to the car. Daniel held his breath, trying to get his seat belt off.
He couldn't get it lose and started banging on the window. Allen got sight of Daniel and dove deeper. They saw each other and Allen tried to open the door but the force of the water kept it shut. Allen lost his air so he dove back up for another breath. Paul came down, trying to get the window off so Daniel could get through. He succeeded but noticed the seatbelt was still on.
Mink, Jess, and Kai looked down, worried. Continuously Allen and Paul dove up getting a breath of air. Daniel started to give up hope so he got his Duel Xero, taking out the two cards, Descending Sword and Emoriel Breaker. He gave it to Allen and he pointed up. Allen shook his head, trying to force the seat belt off. Paul came, helping too.
Suddenly Daniel passed out, his head hung low. Allen gasped within his mind. He tried to rip the seatbelt off but it was stuck.
He tried to rip it off but it still wouldn't come off. Suddenly the card ontop of his deck began to glow. The card floated out and Grand Geralian appeared. Paul's card was glowing too and Nameless Warrior appeared in the water. Allen and Paul began to float to the top and out of the water.
"No! Let me save him!" Allen said desperately, trying to fight the force that took him out. Daniel's card glowed too and Emoriel Breaker appeared.
Daniel easily slipped out of the seatbelt and to the top. He floated to the ledge. Daniel coughed up some water and his eyes opened.
"Oh my god!" Jess pointed. Everyone ran to the docks and helped him up.
"Well, that was the longest I held my breath" Daniel said.
"Thank god your alright." Allen sighed with relief. "That's the second time you beat death."
They looked back over at the three warriors standing side by side. "Thanks...." Paul said, looking at Nameless Warrior.
Allen and Dan said their thanks and the three warriors went back into their cards. They strangely dried up. Suddenly they heard clapping. They all turned around to see Devon, blocking their path at the end of the docks. "Well, you seem to have beat my plans in killing you all." He said.
"Big 3, let him go!" Allen yelled.
"Big 3? It's not only me but everyone. Big 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5! All here in this frail body!" Devon laughed. "Our minds have joined together and turned into an ultimate being. So now! It's time to duel!"
He held up his Duel Xero and it folded out he then slid his deck in. "5 minds against one of us seems kind of un fair..." Mink said.
"I'll be dueling you! I can prove that it doesn't take 5 brains to defeat 1!" Daniel yelled.
"Not so fast." Devon said. "I want Paul there to duel too."
"Fine, you got your self an extra opponent!" Paul growled.
Mink, Jess, Kai, and Allen stood behind as the two got ready. "Finally, a real human body. I'll make sure you 4 are next!" Devon said, pointing at the rest.
"Only if you can get through us!" Daniel yelled.
"It'll be a 2 on 1 duel, no Deck Masters. I'll start with 8000 life points and each of you will start at 4000" Devon said.
"Now! Duel!" They all yelled.
