Number 96 and Vector turn to the door of the throne room. Dark Mist doesn't even bother to hide and pushes on the door.

"How did you brake free of your seal?" Dark Mist hisses angrily.

"Come now Dark Mist, you should know that Astral's emotions are unstable even at the best of times. But add in a few Chaos shocks from this one here," The evil gestures over to Number 96. "And the lure to escape the pain becomes irresistible."

"This is all your fault." Dark Mist glares over at 96.

"You fail to see what you have in front of you, a perfect means of destruction." 96 smiles evilly. "With his help we can destroy this pathetic little world."

"There's more to him then meets the eye." Dark Mist says turning his glare back at the evil controlling his dear friend.

"You have nothing to fear Dark Mist, Astral is in safe hands with me." The evil says with fake care.

"Lier, I know your twisted little games Dark. And I won't let you hurt Astral anymore then you already have." Dark Mist hisses at him.

Just as Dark Mist says this Yuma and the gang show up.

"Dark Mist have you found-!" Yuma asks but his words are cut off when he sees what Astral has become.

"What have they done to him?" Astral asks.

"They weakened the seal that was kept on Dicoyua's darker half enough to the point that it was able to brake free. If you remember your duel against Vector at Sargasso, then you remember the darkness that took over you. This is that same darkness only it's taken on a will of its own." Dark Mist explains.

"Oh I remember now." Vector mumbles to himself.

"Tell me Astral, do you still have any trust left in Yuma?" Dark says with a smirk getting everyone's attention.

"Whatever happened in the past we have moved forward from, I know what happened wasn't Yuma's fault. He was manipulate by Vector into believing his lies." Astral replies.

"Is that what you keep telling yourself Astral? He used Barian cards and instead of tell you where he got them from, he lied to you because his dear friend Ray told him not to." Dark says calmly and with a smirk plastered on his lips.

"But you seem to fail on telling everyone else that it was because Yuma was scared of losing Astral to begin with. Vector told him that if he said anything that Astral's safety would be jeopardy." Dark Mist says almost shouting into the conversation.

"Yuma, is this true? Were you scared of losing me?" Astral asks turning to his partner.

Yuma looks down almost ashamed to admit it, "Yes it's true, but you kept on getting hurt with every duel we had against the Barains. I just wanted you to be okay."

"You're just using that excuse for his safety as a means to lie and betray him." Dark counters. "I on the other hand, would never lie to you Astral. For I have no reason to, Yuma is only looking out for himself. The second he thinks it will do him some good he'll lie and betray you again to get ahead in the game."

"I refuse to believe in your lies, I know Yuma would never hurt me on purpose despite what has already happened." Astral says giving a soft smile down at his partner.

"Find have it your way then Astral. I'll just have to make the right choice for you." Dark says and hold out his hand, making a small dark blue and black energy ball in it.

"Yuma look out!" Dark Mist says and pushes Yuma out of the way as Dark shoots the energy ball toward him.

Yuma lands on his back a few feet from where he was just standing but Dark Mist isn't so luck. He's hit directly in the chest by the blast and is pushed back into Yuma's friends who immediately come to his aid.

"Dark Mist are you alright?!" Tori says while trying to help him back on his feet.

"I-I'm fine." He says a he staggers back to his feet.

Dark Mist's chest has been severely burned by the blast and he's having some trouble breathing.

"I should of made the blast stronger." Dark says with a laugh at Dark Mist's condition.
