"Ah!" Darks lungs filled with water. Satoshi stood facing his direction.

Krad looked as his companion and quickly hit him in the back of his head. Satoshi fell to the ground unconscious. The water that had been drowning Dark and the creature now subsided. Coughing came from Darks black figure while the creature croaked its own coughing fit.

Tim quickly finished off the last batter. All eyes turned to the unconscious Satoshi.

"He must have been confused by the creatures, it's a symptom that can be caused by that sort of attack, he should be back to normal when he wakes up" Krad said as he walked towards the still coughing Dark. Darks coughing died down. He yelped as he felt someone pick him up by the waist and put him standing up on the ground.

Krad smirked and then walked towards Daisuke who was leaning over Satoshi's figure.

"Looks like someone is going to have to carry him" Daisuke muttered as he inspected the boy's small wounds. He forced himself to cry again and healed a small cut and bruise. Krad sighed and picked the blue haired teen up. He then stood next to Dark.

"Come on, lets go deeper in, I'd rather not turn back just yet, if the real doors of darkness lie somewhere else in here, we must find them and stop my father…" Tim walked on ahead. Risa now walked behind him, holding onto his sleeve.

"Rein…what are your plans for getting the wings of valmar?" All eyes turned on the black cloaked figure at the end of the table. His grin was barely visible from the shadows that covered his face. Riku stood next to him.

"My plans will be revealed when the right time comes" He smirked under his hood. The others looked at him and then turned back to there discussion.

Rein and Riku walked out of the large hall. They walked towards a small camp sight they had set up. The two entered their tent.

"Well Rein, what are your plans?" Riku asked as she watched him walk over towards the black orb that he used for his 'watching' of Dark. What a stalker…

"I heard that Riku, this orb also allows me to read your thoughts, you should now that by now and who are you calling a stalker? I am merely watching my Dark" Riku huffed and crossed her arms over her chest. Rein smirked and turned back to his orb. He stared deeply into it before yelling. "Oi wake up!"

A boy dressed in a black cloak jumped in the air. He roughly bashed his head on the roof of his small hut and glared at the face in the now red orb before him. His hood slipped off, revealing long red hair, tied back in a pony tail and bright green eyes.

"What the hell? Rein…what do you want? When a man is having a peaceful sleep, it is very rude to wake him!" The boy yelled to the boy in the orb.

"Oh hush Renoto…" Renoto glared at him. "I mean Ren…" Ren smiled and looked back at his friend.

"What'ca want?" Rein smirked.

The group stood. Sweat laced there forehead as they huffed and puffed. They looked at the door in front of them.

"I…think…this is…it…" Tim puffed as he wiped the sweat from his head.

"Four…bloody…floors…of monsters…" Dark cursed as he wiped the blood from his sweaty head onto his black top underneath his coat. Satoshi groaned. His head still hurt from being rudely awoken by a whack to the head from one of the machines.

"You know Krad, next time your carrying me and running, please don't crash my head into a metal machine…it hurts like hell…" The blue haired teen rubbed his bruised head.

"Sorry…" Krad said as he put the boy down. Daisuke checked him to see if he was bleeding. Risa had ended up being carried by Tim who had now put her down.

"Let's go in…" The blonde pushed the door open. The group walked onto a hovering platform. The disk went down carrying the teens to a lower level.

Clunking metal noise's sounded from the room. Wires filled the floor, walls and ceiling. A large computer type area stood at the back of the room. Two red glass orbs stood at the entrance of the steps that led towards the computer like machines.

"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" Her robotic voice boomed. A bright yellow light surrounded her and pulled her into the ground below. Soon a large creature rose in her place. Its skin was a light chocolate brown, while feathers on its two arms shone a bright blue. It was like a snake with arms. Its long tail turned up like a scorpion, while thousands of small feet like arms underneath its large tail acting as legs.

"The claws of valmar" Krad said as he formed a bright orb of magic in his hand. He aimed for its head. Just as he was about to fire, the claws swiped one of its long clawed arms at him. Its red claws cut into his now released white wings. The others circled around it. Risa still was behind Tim. Her fearful brown eyes looked towards Tim's back.

Dark swiped his large sword at the claw that attacked Krad. The claw's of valmar shrieked and now swiped at him. Daisuke stabbed its tail and it cried its high pitch scream. Its tail now stabbed the ground as it tried to pierce Daisuke's moving form. The boy had a hard job dodging. Dark also was having a hard time. Its claw was striking at him. It stopped and he was shocked as it now launched its tail at him. Purple eyes closed. Arms tightly wrapped around his waist. Krad tightly held onto him.

"Dark, release your wings, they will help you but don't let valmars power control you" Krad's voice whispered into his ear. Dark nodded. Krad put him down and rushed back into the fight. Daisuke and Satoshi were under it dodging its large tail. Dark closed his eyes. He concentrated his energy.

A pain erupted in his back. He let the black feathered wings push themselves out of his body. Purple eyes slightly hinted black shot up to look at the creature. The piece of valmar turned towards the other piece that it sensed in the room. It growled deeply before charging at Dark. Bones pushed out of bones as the wings took on from, the black feathers slightly died red.

"Dark, fly!" Krad yelled as he sent a horde of white feather towards the claws head. Dark quickly flapped his wings. He flew badly in the area around him. Soon he came crashing down in front of Daisuke with a loud thud.

The claws of valmar shrieked as the white feathers penetrated its skin. It stopped and time seemed to freeze. Quickly it raised one of its arms and sent white crystals through the air towards the group. Krad grabbed Tim and Satoshi, while Dark grabbed Risa and Daisuke. The two boys hovered in the air, until Dark crash landed again.

"Dark!" Daisuke jumped down. The claws made its way towards them. It growled deeply and then sent its tail towards the two. A bright red fire bird stopped it. Tim's staff was glowing a light red as he summoned an even larger fire bird than before.

Its flame feathers burnt the light chocolate skin from the claws of valmar tail. It swiped at the bird and burnt its claw before it disappeared. By the time the bird was gone, Dark and Daisuke had moved. They glared at the creature and raised their blades.

The two ran forwards and plunged there swords into its side, making it scream in pain and agony.

Krad grinned and sent a large ball of magic towards it to finish it of.

"Dark you have to absorb the claws of valmar" Krad yelled as the creature slowly was sucked into a bright golden light. Dark nodded and charged into the light. Soon a dark purple crashed with the gold. The room was flooded by a bright white light that soon was swallowed by black.

Daisuke opened his eyes. He blinked and looked through the smoke. Black. He saw black feathers. Dark stood with his back facing the others. His black angel wings spread open wide. He turned. Dark smiled weekly. A girl lay in his arms. He fell down as the wings entered his back.

Purple eyes opened. He felt his body being held tightly. Krad hugged Dark closely. His golden eyes looked at the girl Dark had found. Her long blue hair spread out like the ocean. A long white dress covered her figure. What scared him the most was her white wings.

Dark stirred. The blonde looked down at the black blob in his arms."Morning sleepy head" Dark groaned and looked up at Krad's face. Soon Daisuke yelped as the girl moved.

"Uh…what happened?" Her soft angel robotic like voice whispered as she looked towards the others in the room. A boy with red hair sat next to her while a blue haired boy sat next to him. A short haired blonde wearing a green cap stood next to a brown haired girl but the boy who caught her crystal blue eyes was the blonde angel holding a struggling teen.

"You're…an angel…" Krad whispered she nodded and said the same thing to him. A loud noise from the king's camber cut them off. The group bolted up the stairs.

Tim pushed open doors. The room empty. The desk had pieces of paper scatter on it. A small trail of blood caught the boy's eyes. They looked at the door that lead to the real king's head quarter.

"No, stop please…what are you doing?…AH" The king screamed. Then everything went silent. Tim ran up to the door and tried to open the door. It had been locked from the inside.

"Father!" Tim yelled as he pounded the door. Tears fell from his eyes. Krad and Dark stepped up and moved him out the way. The two focused on the door. Krad sent a beam of magic around the side of the door while Dark struck it hard making it fly into the room.

The group stared in shock. A figure stood with there back facing them. Darks eyes grew wide with fear, a pain burst in his head. He looked back up at the back of the figure.

"M…Melfice?" The figure turned around. Piercing purple eyes stared into Darks own purple eyes. Melfice smirked. His fine black hair blew around his face. Black marks were plastered onto half of his body. A silver top covered his torso. Tight blue pants were on his lower half. A dark navy blue cloak sat on his shoulders. He grinned.

"Hello again, little brother…"

"Heh looks like the two brothers will finally settle what happen all those years ago, and it will be perfect time to capture my Dark" He grinned evilly. Small long strands of sliver hair fluttered from under his hood.
