"Looks like there in search for the sword, the white blade" Riku smirked. Her plan was going perfectly. Soon she would have revenge…
"Wha-What!" Dark stood there shocked. He quickly shook his head and jumped back. Daisuke stepped up.
"Dark can't be the wings of valmar! He isn't evil!" Tears formed in the boys red eyes.
"You don't have to be evil or good to have a piece of valmar or Granis in you…" Krad sighed and took a step towards the retreating Dark. Purple eyes glared coldly at Krad. The others looked from Krad to Dark. Daisuke ran in front of Dark.
"I…I don't believe you!" Krad sighed. How was he going to explain this to the little naive child in front of him.
"Daisuke…Dark is the wings of valmar, that's why he has black wings. Also the message on the wall said that Dark had them, which he has, and as much as you think Dark isn't evil, he isn't. Pieces of valmar can end up in anyone, the same goes for Granis" Krad ran one of his pale hands through his golden hair. He sighed deeply. If it weren't for Dark, Daisuke would have been six feet under by now.
Purple eyes looked towards the floor. He stepped back from the crow, all eyes turned to Dark.
"If I am part of valmar…I must leave…I wouldn't want to put your lives in danger" The group stared at him as if he had gone nuts. Daisuke ran up to him and hugged him tightly.
"Dark! I don't care what you are!" He held his friend closely, and felt Darks arms hug him back. The teen looked up and smiled. All the others nodded and the group set off again. Krad walked closely next to the dark haired teen.
"Dark, the wings of valmar…don't let it destroy you" Dark nodded before his gaze meet the floor.
"The king's secret will finally be revealed!" A man yelled as he waved his freshly printed newspaper around. He walked towards Dark and his large party. His brown eyes looked towards Tim.
"Aren't you…ah never mind, anyway want to buy one?" He waved the paper in Darks face and the teen shock his head. The man frowned and continued. He walked towards another group. Tim led the rest towards an inn.
The inn keeper smiled warmly at them. His short brown hair fell down just past his ears. Large brown eyes looked at the new comers before him. He smiled happily and bounced towards them, setting his beer mug down.
"Welcome…Ah your! Pri-" Tim hushed the man. He nodded.
"Please sir, can you set my friends up in a room?" The man nodded and pulled out a few keys. He gave one to Daisuke, one to Risa and one to Krad, and to Darks annoyance he was once again forced to share a room with Krad.
"I'm going to go and see…my parents now, ill catch up with you later!" Tim waved and ran out of the inn. Dark blinked. He looked towards Risa about to ask her if he could share rooms, but was stopped as the blonde happily tugged him upstairs.
Dark looked as is he was about to cry. Which Krad thought he might do. He led the boy into the room. Dark felt Krad release his wrist and he quickly turned for the door, only to see Krad shutting it. Dark sighed and walked towards one of the windows. He blinked and looked down at a blob that walked though the streets. He watched the black blob disappear. Dark sighed.
He held his breath as a pair of strong arms wrapped around his waist. Krad's warm breathe tickled his neck. A blush quickly filled Darks face.
"Something has been bothering you…Dark?" Krad kept a firm but gently grip on the boy. A shiver flew up Darks spine as he felt the light tickle of Krad's playful tongue. He tried to worm out of the older boys arms, but this body froze. Time seemed to stop.
"Dark?" Krad watched as the body stared off into space. The blush now gone as Dark was cut off from the world. Suddenly Darks body fell limp in the blonde's arms. Krad blinked and looked at the boy, panic slowly flooded him.
Purple eyes slowly opened. He looked around his surroundings. A forest stood around him while a small broken church faced the boy. Dark swallowed hard and walked towards it. A cave became visible next to the church. The boy walked in.
Soon everything stopped. The scene turned black. He jumped back in shock as an eye stared at him. Then slowly the eye reflected a picture of fire in its blue crystal hues. Dark peered closer. The flames burned brightly and then a face slowly formed in the flames. Dark peered even closer, but jumped back at what he saw. He turned.
"No…"
"NO!" Dark flung himself up. He blinked when he felt lips against his own. Red eyes blinked back. Blushed spread themselves on the teen's cheeks as the two parted. Krad glared at Daisuke's back 'Lucky bastard…'
"Uh…D-Dark…are you all-all right now?" Daisuke asked as he tried to hide his blush. Dark looked at him and smiled. He nodded then lay back down.
"Yes, yes I am…"
"I have prepared the seal" A figure stood tall. His body covered in the pitch black shadows. Another man turned towards him. His old face wrinkled and weary. A crown sat dully on his head. He smiled and paced up and down. The figure silently watched him.
"Thank you…the doors of darkness will soon be reopened…" The king sighed and turned towards the figure.
"And what would you wish for your payment?" The figure grinned.
"My payment will be that of when you open the doors…" He grinned as the king nodded and walked out of the room.
"Daisuke! Dark, Guys! Quick we have to move!" Tim ran up to the group around the table. His blonde hair stuck firmly to his sticky head. He pulled the group out of the inn.
"Please hurry!"
"What's wrong?" Daisuke looked into Tim's blue eyes. Panic was written all over his face. They quick sped up their pace as Tim led them towards the castle.
"Quickly!" He then turned off the path and ran down towards the lake. A boat floated on the river. Tim jumped in and waited for the others. The group jumped in after him. He focused his power and let the water take them to their destination.
The boat stopped at a ledge. Two soldiers stood tall around a small hole. One walked towards Tim.
"Welcome back Prince Tim" All eyes fell on him and opened widely.
"Prince?" Tim nodded his head. "We will talk about this later, now come quickly" The soldier led them to the hole and watched as Tim quickly slid down. After him came Dark, Daisuke, Satoshi, Risa and then Krad.
The group stood quietly as they looked around them. They were in a dark tunnel. Krad released his white wings and formed a small orb of magic in his hand. Dirt was everywhere and wires travelled on the walls and ceiling. Running water sounded. The group walked forward. Tim lead the way, Daisuke and Satoshi walked behind him while Risa and Dark walked behind them, last of all came Krad.
Riku watched the black cloaked boy in front of her. His face covered by the shadows that cast over his face. The boys hand reached out and gently stroked a black orb. He smiled and watched as the orb turned red. A picture of Dark flashed in the orb. He licked his lips.
"Dark…you will be mine…"
Dark looked up. He could have sworn he heard someone say his name. He stood still for a bit. The boy jumped as a hand placed itself on his shoulder.
"Dark, what's wrong?" Golden eyes looked deeply into purple. The geohound shook his head. Then ran to catch up with the others.
"I don't see what you find so interesting in him and that Krad already has his eyes set on that boy" Riku hissed as she glared at the wings of Granis. The figure smirked.
"Love Riku, love…and we need him, he will be perfect in our group" He smirked and turned towards her. His hood still tightly covering his face. The brown haired girl puffed her cheeks out.
"You know, Rein, brothers are like brothers, what if he leaves like the other one did?" Rein turned away from her and placed his pale hand over the orb.
"Oh, he won't leave, trust me…" He smirked as he watched the purple haired teen. "He is mine and mine alone, the wings of valmar…Dark Mousy…"
Tim stopped. A creature stood before him. Its skull face and body stuck out of its slug like base. Its eye less orbs glared at the teens. A few more joined it and they circled the group. Tim growled in frustration. He didn't have time for this. He summoned his staff. The group took a defensive position.
One of the creatures aimed at Daisuke. The red head quickly blocked it, red eyes widened as another one of the creatures attacked him. 'Oh no! I can't block it!' Daisuke shut his eyes waiting for the blow while still blocking the other creature.
"Its alright Dai, you got me behind your back" Blood dripped down Darks arm as the blade sliced though his skin. His arms were crossed in an X shape, while his sword was still tightly against his back. Risa dipped for cover behind Tim as another one went for an attack. All together there were about ten of the creatures.
Krad fought off two of them, causing the light to fade and then reappear every now and then as he fired magic at them. Satoshi now stood with Daisuke. A cut in the blue haired teen's right arm caught Daisuke's eye. The short red head shut his eyes and forced himself to cry, gently his hand wiped the tears onto the boys arm, causing the cut to heal.
Blue eyes looked at the red head. He nodded his thanks and pulled up a wall of water.
Dark was fighting three of them now. Every now and then stopping to clutch his back. He tightly held his sword. Sweat laced his head as he struggled with the creatures and the intense pain in his back.
"Dark!" Daisuke ran up to him a stone in his hand. He launched it at one of the creatures. A strong cut of wind pushed Dark and the creatures away from each other.
"Fire bird! Attack!" Tim sent his fire bird flying towards them. It shrieked its high perched cry. Soon the creatures were swallowed by its fiery wings that had grown even larger than before. Tim fell to his knees once the creatures were burnt and dead.
"Ah…" He huffed and stood back up. "Come on, we have to hurry" He limped his way though the cave, Risa and Daisuke held him up.
Dark was slightly panting. His back ached. Krad and Satoshi kept there keen eyes out for any unwanted visitors.
The group stopped as they came across a large stone. Tim walked towards it and blew the dust off it. A gold picture was in carved on the stone. The two gods valmar in a Black Hand shape and Granis in a White Star shape, were carved into the metal. A hole sat in between them. Tim shuffled though his robes and pulled out a small chain with a key on it. He placed the key into the hole.
Slowly the door creaked open. Cobwebs were blown around, the small spiders holding tightly onto the webs. Tim walked through followed by the others.
They looked around there surroundings. They were inside the palace. A red carpet led them upstairs. Tim was stopped as Krad's hand placed itself on the younger blondes shoulder.
"What are we doing? We need to know…" The others nodded in agreement. Tim sighed.
"Okay, I am a Prince, and my father, he want's to reopen the doors of darkness…" The group stared at him.
"But…the doors…the sword is behind there?" Tim shook his head.
"I don't know, but they must not be opened…" The group nodded again. They followed Tim as he led them further into the place.
"Father!" Tim pushed the solid oak doors open. The king sat at his desk. His weary eyes looked towards his son. He frowned and then returned to his work.
"Father! You can not open the doors of darkness! Remember what mother said!" The king sighed. He looked his son in the eyes. Tim's blue orbs glared at his fathers.
"I do not care what she has said, we must open them to finally regain our pride, once they our open we will no longer have to hide" Tim looked furious. He stepped forwards and glared at his father.
"Father! We must not endanger anyone! And is that all you think about pride? Would you choose pride over people, over me?" The king paused then nodded. He stood and walked towards a spare door.
"Were are you going, you know you can not open the door without the key" The king laughed. He stared coldly at his son. Tim stepped back.
"I don't need the key, I will open it and no one will stop me, we will regain our pride, the day of darkness nears us" At those last words Dark felt a tug in his heart and back. Soon the king left. He walked though the door and locked it from the other side.
"Ah, we have to get down there before he does!" Tim ran out the others soon followed. Tim ran out of the room. He led the group down another flight of stairs. They dashed down the stairs and ran up to a large pair of doors. Tim pushed them open with the help of Krad and Dark.
Blue eyes widened at the sight before them. He looked to were a large door had once stood. The pieces scattered on the ground in front of them. A mans figure lay under the heap of rubble. Dark set at work to help the figure, only to find cloths and no body.
"Damn it! He killed Kari…" Tears filled the blondes eyes. He ran through the gape were the large pair of doors had been.
"Tim!" Dark called after him as he took entered the darkness of the new room.
When the group entered the room, they saw Tim's back. The blonde looked at the area around him. Green floors of metal and some unknown substance was beneath their feet. Machines stood tall around the place. Some tall churning poles went up into the black space above. Tim stepped forward.
"This is the great doors of darkness? It looks…like a factory…" Krad placed a hand on the blondes shoulder. Risa tightly held onto Darks coat. The other two boys looked at the so called factory.
"Well seeing as were here we might as well go further down…" Satoshi said as Daisuke clutched his arm.
"The real doors of darkness could be further down" Krad said as he then walked in front of the others. He smirked then walked off further. The others followed.
"Look" Risa pointed towards a flying creature. It was a batter. Its black and purple black wings beat hard, while its brain like body hovered above the ground. Four strands of black and purple hung from the bottom of its brain body. It glared at them even though one could not see any eyes on the creature. Soon a few more of its kind joined them. They jingled slightly as they flew towards them.
The four creatures flew towards them quickly and surrounded the teens
A dark green light formed around the batters. The boys got out there weapons and Risa stood in the middle of the group.
The boys raised there swords, or hands in Satoshi's and Krad's case, and brutally attacked the four creatures. Dark, Krad, Daisuke and Satoshi each went for one of the creatures leaving Tim to guard Risa.
The boys stopped as if frozen in time. The batters swarmed around Satoshi, they then circled him with intense speed. Quickly a bright purple stroke of lighting fell onto the blue haired teen.
"Satoshi!" Daisuke yelled as he watched the blue haired teen fall to the ground. Blue hair shook as he shook his head. His vision was blurry and fuzzy. He looked around as colours merged with each other. His hearing hand gone fuzzy as well. The others each went for another one of the creatures.
Dark held his blade above his head. Just as he was about to attack the creature a wall of water fell on him and it.
"Ah!" Darks lungs filled with water. Satoshi stood facing his direction.

"This is the door of darkness…it is just a factory…" Tim walked forwards. He neared the steps, the others close behind him. The blonde walked past the orbs.
A siren sounded. Red lights flashed around the room. The group snapped there heads towards a platform that fell from the ceiling. Standing on the platform was a figure. The figure had a creature covering her.
"Intruder alert, exterminate threat"
