Hello there! This story will be based on the English Version, just so you all know. This first bit might be confusing because of me trying to differentiate Jaden from Haou. I have italicized some he's and him's, in which case I'm referring to Haou. Hopefully you guys won't get too lost. Dx

Sum: Haou's time has finally come, but why is Jaden still here? Haou's plans to take over Darkworld don't go so well, and what's this about a prophecy?

(Near the middle of season one)

The darkness is a powerful thing, but it's still not as powerful as the will or heart. But when you take away these things, he knew it would be easy. All these years of watching time move on, all these years of non existence, all the pain and suffering would be worth it in the end.

He paced in the darkness that was his home, only lit by white mirrors that floated wherever they pleased. Oh, how he hated those mirrors. They showed him all of his mistakes, his silly mistakes that he had no control over.

He growled, the noise echoing ominously through the black void. He was nothing to him, but still, he was a part of him. Why was the weaker in control? It made no sense to him. As if on cue, the mirrors flashed, showing him the past duels.

He looked into the closest one with a bored expression, the light of the mirror not reaching his eyes. Ahh, it was the entrance exam. He saw him bent over, shaking as if crying, but he knew that the weaker was laughing. Sure enough, his face appeared, happy and heaving with laughter. The sight made him sick.

But now he knew why it was so hard to take over. The weaker had no will or motivation. Sure, he defended his rights, but that wasn't will. And he shunned away from his heart too many times, so it wasn't that either. Just the mentioning of love made the weaker recoil, unless that love was directed toward dueling.

But that wasn't love. He blinked, looking around his nothingness that was home. He had a third enemy he hadn't accounted for. Spirit….his weaker had a strong fighting spirit that couldn't be won over so easily.

This was an unexpected twist in his plot. But that didn't matter. Nothing his weaker had would matter in the end. This just meant more waiting, more plotting for the perfect time to reveal himself. And when that time came, it would be Jaden's turn to suffer.

(season three, episode 136)

The darkness seemed even darker today, if that was even possible. Wait, was it even a 'today'? Time didn't exist within his realm, after all nothing truly did. That's why he based his sequence of being –or not being- upon the set days outside his realm, inside Jaden's realm. Oh, great, he was over thinking again. This place was going to drive him absolutely nuts. Well, it was better to be surrounded in darkness than to watch the accursed mirrors show him the life he could never live.

Time had indeed passed since he had last plotted to make himself known. So much in fact that he grown tired of the subject and had taken to lounging around the darkness, his non being numb with absolute boredom. Soooooooo bored….." he moaned to himself. It was official; his non existence really sucked.

Wait…is that…a light? He pulled himself together and walked over to the light. He had never seen such a thing before; it was glowing like a star, flashing all sorts of colors into his world. The light took in the darkness…

"…"

"……….."

Was he….dueling? What was this dark place? What on earth were all these monsters doing here? Flashes swarmed in his head, and soon his was caught up within the instant.

"I used to duel for fun, but now I'm dueling to avenge what you did to my best friends."

The ache in his weaker's voice…it was like nothing he had ever heard before. And…it made him angry. They were both angry, and for the first time, their spirit was in sync.

"It's payback time." He said as the world flooded his senses. This time, he wasn't just looking through a mirror window. He was here. He was in control. And he was mad as heck. No one dares to torment his weaker half like this! NO ONE!...but him, of course.

So he dueled. He was dueling with every ounce of anger he possessed. He was going to make Jaden's quest for avenge come to pass. "Send him to the stars!" he yelled, commanding that Neos finish the duel that had hurt Jaden so much.

The mad king laughed as his fell to his defeat. "You may have won, but think about all that you've lost. You have nothing to show for it but anger…and pain. They will be your new friends."

"Shut your mouth. You lost!" He sneered.

"Now tell me what you did with Jesse!"

He shouldn't have been so surprised that Jaden still had a little bit of control.

"You won't like what you hear."

"Tell me!"

"He's up there, in the stars with your four friends. You'll never see him…again."

The sudden and drastic wave of depression that swept over Jaden only made him even more ticked off.

"Liar! Tell the truth! No more playing!" he shouted for Jaden's sake, a war going on inside of him. However, the mad king just laughed as his shattered into stardust and floated upwards into the stars.

There were no words to describe how angry this made the dark spirit. He was panting heavily when the sound of his name helped Jaden gain control again. But he was still there, watching and fuming.

"Syrus? I was afraid that they…oh man….I'm so glad, that you're ok."

What….what was this? More suffering? What was causing Jaden to suffer even more!? He managed to calm his anger to catch up with the times again.

"Well he's gone! Just like everyone else!" Syrus turned and ran. Jim took off to follow Syrus.

"Looks like you're on your own." Axel informed before going after them.

"My own…?" Jaden asked out loud, the feeling of hurt and despair raging torment within his being caused him to fall to his knees. "Why is this happening to me? I was just…trying to make things right. And I…" He put a hand over his face, trying to hide from the pain. "I ended up making things wrong for everyone! Why!?"

He was calling out to anyone who would listen now, anyone who would care for what he had to say, unaware of his presence.

"Why did this all happen!?" He then let out a growl of both pain and frustration. "How am I ever going to make things right again?!"

The desperation tugged at his being, yes, being…how strange, he was finally existing. And after all these years of hating Jaden...the wind blew, and caused a blank card to fly up to them. He recognized it instantly.

"Is that the…the card?" Jaden asked, not a quick as him. Then the unexpected happened.

He was back home, surrounded by the mirrors. However, Jaden was still there, holding the card. 'It is..It's the Super Polymerization card that Brron was trying to summon. How could he take my friends away from me, all for a card?'

He looked up, and saw Jaden, and had noticed that his mouth wasn't moving. He was hearing his thoughts.

'And now my best friend won't even talk to me anymore…'

"Jaden." He tried to talk to him. Perhaps here, Jaden could hear him. He was therefore pleased when Jaden made a "Huh?" and turned around to see who had spoken to him. An idea sprouted within the dark spirit.

"I want you to be who you were meant to be; a great warrior, but for that, you need power.

"Power? But how do I…get that?" It occurred to him that Jaden didn't really care for power, and that he was too emotionally conflicted to realize what was truly going on, but it didn't really matter.

"That card, Super Polymerization. To unlock it's secrets, defeat those who oppose you, and absorb their duel energy that's released."

"Hold up, just who are you?" Jaden asked as he started to come back to his senses.

"The one who rules this world; The Supreme King." Or at least, he was going to be.

Jaden let out a gasp of shock and fear.

"But please, just call me Haou." He smirked as he once again gained control.

AND that's it for chapter one! Though really it was more of a prologue. Meh, but it works. Haou will be going in and out of character, but regardless, he'll still be somewhat of a jerkface.

Haou: I am NOT a somewhat jerkface!

Me:...your right. You're a HUGE jerkface!

Haou: *growls*

Jaden: *sweat drops*

Anyways, time to work on chapter two! *runs off*
