Chapter 121: Journey To The Temple of Orichalcos.

_____________________________________

It was the blackest of nights as Devon drove to the docks. There was but a lone ship at the docks. "I guess we take this one...." Daniel said.

"Yeah..." Kai said.

Devon and Kai stand behind as Paul and Daniel get on. "Guys.... Becareful...." Kai sighed.

Daniel looked down at Kai who firstly experienced the ultimate power of Roa. Daniel knew it'd be the toughest battle ever for him and that he and Paul were the ones who could stop Doom from destroying the world.

Suddenly the ship began to move on it's own. Kai and Devon stand there and wait as the ship gets off site.

Paul is up infront, watching the waves go by. "So... What's on your mind...." Daniel asked.

"What do you mean." Paul said, looking away from him as he joins him.

"Why do you want to help so bad. You've always thought I could do everything on my own." Daniel asked.

"because now..... I know what it feels like to lose someone you've loved." Paul growled, looking at the ocean. "My brother... We used to be good friends until our parents tore us apart. They taught us to hate each other...."

Daniel finally felt the hatred he earned and couldn't help but feel bad. "I've also lost another friend of mine..." Daniel said looking down. "My mother and father fought a lot.... Before I was born my dad left and killed himself...."

"It's nothing like my family." Paul growled. It was a sign that Paul had suffered worse for a child prodigy. "Having no one to take care of you, to look up to."

"I look up to you...." Daniel said.

"What are you talking about...." Paul growled.

"Hey, I envy you. You're important, everyone wishes to be like you.... When you first came I thought you were a regular student who had no clue of Duel Monsters but my judgement was wrong and look at us now." Daniel said. "I wish I was you, to be a producer of something everyone could love to play."

"I envy you as well... Not only because your King of Games...." Paul said. "Because you actually have friends and you'll do anything for them.... Come on do you think anyone likes me like this..."

"I see..." Daniel said.

"But my days have changed... I will always be the same but I'll always have an adventure if I stick with you. My brother will remain the same as always, there's no changing him."

"Yeah, I noticed that." Daniel thought.

"I'd really like to see what's instore for me when I'm older...." Paul said.

Suddenly a idea sparked into Daniel's mind. "Hey, I've got this." Daniel said pulling out a necklace.

"The Millennium Tauk... What use is that of." Paul said.

"it has the power to look into the future. I'm sure something good will happen in your future." Daniel said.

"Well, let's see." Paul said.

Suddenly the necklace began to glow. Both their minds see a tall building and a man looking out the window. But both Daniel and Paul don't have a feeling it's about Paul's future. The scene moves to a wall with a cross and at the bottom, a deck of cards and a Duel Xero. And at the corner it says 'Never give up hope.... One day light shines on what's dark. From my deepest sympathy, Paul. You'll always be in our rays of light.'

The vision disappears and Daniel walks off. He began to wish he had not seen that image and goes down into the small room, holding his arm on the wall and leaning his head forward.

"This can't be... I'm... no... I can't believe that." Daniel thought. The vision kept seeking into his head and it couldn't be erase. Daniel so badly wanted to forget it.

"I'm sorry...." Paul said standing out in the door way. Daniel walks off, passing by him. Paul looks over to see him stand infront of the railing.

Daniel looks down at the Millennium Tauk. He looks over at the ocean and tosses it far and into the depths of water.

Paul understood what Daniel had been thinking. No one would ever want a future like that. It was a secret that would only be kept between him and Paul.

A dark room surrounding him when he opens his eyes. "Finally your awake!" Mink yells.

"Gah! Where are we?! I can't move...." Allen said looking around.

"We've been floating her for quite a while and jeez, you snore so freaken loud!" Jess said floating by in a bubble. "Looks like these are where the souls go when the Orichalcos Seal delivers them."

"I don't care, I can't believe I lost! I mean come on, it was three against one!" Allen complained.

"Well look whose here." Spinks said floating by.

"Can it, we're not in the mood." Mink grumbled, crossing her arms.

"Heh, so what brings you guys here."Vice asked.

"Ask the idiot who'se trying to destroying the world." Jess groaned.

"Well, serves you guys right." Diego said. "This is exactly what we went through"

"Shut up." Allen said, rolling his eyes.

"Oh my..." A woman's voice said. "Don't we know you guys?"

"hey yeah! You're Daisuke's mom. What are you doing here?" Mink asked.

"It's our son... He sent us here" Darrow said floating by. They remembered when Darrow noted them about his son. "Roa is back."

"Yeah, we kind of figured that out" Vice said.

"Yes, our poor dear Dai. He was taken over and sent us here." The mom said.

"There was nothing we could do." Darrow said looking down.

"Paul and Daniel are still in the real world. They could do something about it. Agh! But if I only was alive, I could help them." Allen said, pulling his hair.

"Me too." Mink mention.

"Me three" Jess said.

"Hey look! It's Crawford!" Mink pointed out.

"Ahh! Is actually you guys?!" Pegasus said in surprisment. "Looks like you all are in a big predicament."

"Yeah we kind of noticed that." Jess said rolling her eyes.

"Then I guess my assistant helped you." Pegasus said.

"Yeah he just about told us everything we already knew." Allen said.

"Land ho." Paul pointed. There was a large temple and Daniel could see the Orichalcos Seal on the top of the entrance.

"There's where he's hiding." Daniel said.

In no time they were on the island and silently walked into the temple. "Welcome to the Temple of Orichalcos." A young boy's voice said.

"Wait... Your not Roa...." Paul pointed out in the middle of the room.

"Of course I'm not... But I'm just possessing this puppet." The boy said, turning around. Daniel and Paul gasp to see Daisuke, the young boy which was taught to destroy the world by his uncle, Roa.

"It is Roa, his spirit is inside his body." Daniel said. He could visibly see the essence flowing around Daisuke.

"You two came here for one reason." Daisuke smiled.

"To defeat you, Roa." Daniel growled as his Duel Xero folded out. Paul did the same with his and both Life Points rose to 4000.

"A 2 on 1 duel. My life point will begin at 4000." Daisuke smiled. "And if I win I claim both your souls."

"If we win... You will no longer have a body to take over, leaving you as a dead man." Daniel yelled. "And freeing all the souls you stole!"

"I know." Daisuke smiled. "But that will not be happening!"

"Yes it will! As long as we have the Legendary Warriors!" Paul yelled.

Daisuke's Duel Xero also folded out. "Duel!" All three yelled. The room lit up and all the plaques of every soul taken by the Orichalcos Seal appeared. Daniel eyed the plaques of which Allen, Mink, and Jess' souls were kept.

"Doom will succeed." Daisuke smiled evilly as his eyes began to glow. "Now! I activate Orichalcos Seal!"

Daisuke slid the card into his field card zone. The souls of the walls began to act and green light shot from them, forming the seal around the three duelist.

"Here we go..." Paul thought.

"For the world..." Daniel said in his mind.
