Chapter Nine


At the Manor:

After Roland was through talking to Solomon, he turned and looked at Mokie who was sitting on the couch trying to get his emotions under control, Roland walked over and sat down next to him and he said, “You know that what you did tonight was really kind of stupid, don't you?”

Mokuba looked at him and then he said, “I know what I did was wrong, but no one would tell me what's going on, I'm old enough to know, but everyone was treating me like I was a baby.”

Roland then said, “Solomon told me what's been happening and I agree with you, you're not a baby but I don't think that you can begin to understand what's happened since I sent you to stay with the Motou's.”

Mokuba then said, “Maybe if you tell me, I'll be alright, I do know that there's some kind of creature in Domino, but what does that have to do with me being at the Motou's?”

Roland took a deep breath and then he said, “Alright I'll tell you this much, Bakura and Marik opened some kind of box and inside the box was a creature that came from the shadows, this creature is dangerous to anyone who comes in contact with it. Solomon then told me that Shadi, Bakura and Marik went to the shadows to get one of the strongest creatures there to help stop this abomination that was turned loose.

Then Solomon went on to say that several people have died because they came in contact with this thing, that's why he was frantic when he found that you had run off, Mokuba, what would of happened if that thing had gotten you, where would your brother, Helga and I be, have you thought about that?”

Mokuba started to cry, then he said, “Where is my brother, why isn't he here?”

Roland then sighed, and then he said, “Your brother was the first human to come in contact with that thing, but somehow it didn't kill him, it just hurt him real bad.

Joseph found him and got him back to his place, but he knew that he needed help, so he called Bakura and Marik, but that thing that hurt Seto took on the appearance of Bakura then Marik and so your brother thought that it really was them who hurt him.

To make a long story short, Yami came and helped get your brother and Joseph to the Ishtar's, there Ishizu was able to heal your brother.

That's where Shadi came into the picture, he was able to read Seto's mind and find out that that creature was responsible for what happened to Seto, that's when he knew that they had to go to the shadows to get some help.”

Mokuba was sobbing now and Roland held him in his arms and rocked him until he went to sleep, Roland held him through out the night, every once in a while Mokie would have a bad dream, but Roland was there to help make it go away.

The next morning when Mokie woke up, he looked up at this man who was more like a big brother to Seto, him and he touched Roland’s face, and when he woke up.

Mokie said, “Thanks for being as honest as you could, at least you treated me like I was an adult and not like a baby.” Then Mokie gave him a kiss and hug, and then Helga came out and said, “Breakfast's ready.”

At the Museum:

When Shadi got back from talking to Seto and Joseph, he went to find I'Muk and he said, “Joseph Wheeler, he's the friend of the first young man that was attacked by D'Lim;

This young man, he really has some guts, he talked to me as if he were talking to one of his friends, telling me that if I wasn't strong enough to stop D'Lim then he would.”

I'Muk laughed, and then he said, “I agree, he does have guts, if it were me he was talking to, he'd find himself in the shadows playing with the creatures there.” Shadi then said, “While Joseph was talking, he said that if it were him he'd find the one thing that D'Lim is scared of and use that against it.”

I'Muk then said, “The only thing that any of us creatures of the shadows are afraid of is the light from a pure source or the essence of love that one person has for another.” Then I'Muk blinked its eyes and said, “Oh I get it now, you're going to use this love that everyone has for each other against D'Lim, well it'll work but only if you can get close enough to that thing to touch him with it.”

Shadi knew this, then Malik and Ryou walked into the room, and they had heard what Shadi and I'Muk were talking about and Ryou said, “Can I ask you two a question.

What if you could put this essence in some kind of container, small enough to tie it to a spear or an arrow, and then have someone shoot this D'Lim with it, would it destroy it?”

I'Muk looked at the two young men and it said to Shadi, “Who are these two and what are they asking us questions for?” Shadi then said, “Malik here is the brother of the woman that I love and he's also Marik's hikari, Ryou over there well his Bakura's hikari.”

I'Muk then thought about what Malik had said, and he looked at Shadi and said, “You know that just might do the trick, but who could we get to either throw or shoot the essence into D'Lim?”

Shadi then said, “I know just the person to do it, but first I have to go talk to him and Seto, to find out if Joseph will do it or not.”

Somewhere in Domino:

D'Lim was still trying to find more victims, he was growing weaker and this couldn't be, if he were too weak then that human and I'Muk could send him back to the shadows, and that's one place he wasn't going to return to.

As D'Lim moved through the streets, searching for anyone to kill, he came upon the park; there he saw lots of children and humans playing. As he walked nearer to the park, one of the human's looked at him and she screamed, “Everyone get out of here, that's the thing that they have been talking about on the radio, get out of here and hurry!”

D'Lim was furious, they were all leaving, it threw it head back and let out the most terrifying scream, it sent shivers down the peoples spines, they all ran to their cars and left, only one person was still there, it was old man Larson, he was an old blind-deaf mute who liked to come and sit in the sun.

D'Lim approached the human and when he was right above this man, D'Lim couldn't understand why this man wasn't screaming or trying to get away, but what the hell, D'Lim killed him and before he died, D'Lim read this man's mind.

There was so much confusion and darkness there, D'Lim hated the feeling it gave him, but he couldn't get away from it because D'Lim killed and consumed this man, he couldn't see, what was happening, why couldn't it see? D'Lim was like this for a few hours then its vision came back, D'Lim cursed that man for what he did to it. D'Lim hurried away from that place; it didn't like the feeling it got from there.

At the Ishtar's:

After Shadi left, Joey turned to Ishizu and he said, “I want to apologize to you for being an ass, but you have to understand, what's happening out there, it has to stop before anyone else dies, and if I have to I'll do it myself.”

Ishizu smiled at him and then she said, “No one has ever talked to Shadi that way and lived to see another day, I know how much you love Seto and the others, I love my brother, Odeon and Shadi, but what can you do that Shadi and I'Muk couldn't?”

Joey sighed and he said, “I don't know, but maybe it’s just the littlest thing that will destroy that creature.” She went over and gave him a hug and then she said, “I'm going to go fix us something to eat.”

After she was gone, Seto stood up and walked over to Joey and he put his arm around him and said, “I don't want you to put your life on the line, I need you to promise me that you won't do anything that can jeopardize your life, please promise me that.”

Joey turned and took Seto into his arms and he kissed him then he said, “That's something I can't promise, if I can find a way to stop that thing, then I'm going to take it, Seto I can't allow anyone else to die, it has to be stopped and stopped now.”

Just then, they heard Shadi's voice from the doorway, “I agree with you Joseph, it has to end now. What if I can find a way to do it, but I'd need someone who isn't afraid to face D'Lim, would you do it?”
