Destiny was sitting on the sofa in the main room, glumly tugging at her dress. Marik had gone off goodness knows where to do goodness knows what and left her sitting there, bored as hell. Just then, she heard Jaden's voice say "Destiny! Destiny!"
"Aw great, now I'm hearing things!" she exclaimed woefully. "Well, they might as well lock me up!"
"No Destiny, it's Jaden! It's really me!"
She stood up. "Jaden? Where are you? Help me, please!"
"I'm just outside the door. Do you know the combination to Marik's keypad?"
Destiny squeezed her eyes shut and tried to think.
"2…4...9...7…1? Yes, that's it! 24971!"
Jaden practically broke the buttons in his haste. As soon as the door slid open, Destiny rushed to embrace him. They stood for a few moments, reunited at last. Then Destiny looked up at him and said "Jaden, you need to get out of here. If you don't, Marik's going to-"
The Millennium rod flew out of the hallway and almost hit Jaden in the head.
"Do that." Destiny muttered.
"Oooh, looks like we have a visitor." said Marik, emerging into the room. "I'll make you one last deal. We can peacefully exchange Eye for girl, or I can take it from you." Jaden stood and looked from Destiny to Marik. He sighed and produced the Millennium eye from his pocket.
"Here. Take it."
"Jaden!"
"Destiny, I have to. I can't risk another chase. Who'd get killed this time? Kuu? Joey? You?" Jaden speechlessly handed the eye to Marik, grabbed Destiny's hand and walked out.
