Johan's breath caught harder in his throat. He didn't doubt at all that Juudai meant what he said, but he shook his head in denial regardless.
"I won't let you. You won't hurt Yubel." How could he let that happen? He and Yubel had been the best of friends for six years. Yubel guided him through the tournament when he'd met the Gem Beasts and reassured him that he would save the universe by helping them get back with Juudai.
Once Juudai wasn't brainwashed by the Light, at least. That might take time to deal with.
But with the chains around his wrists and Juudai staring down at him in smug superiosity, he found it a little difficult to believe they could pull all of it off.
"Hurt Yubel?" Juudai sneered. "As if I ever would. You hurt Yubel by pretending to care for them, when the only true friend Yubel has ever had is me."
He took a step back and reached into a pocket, pulling out a deck. Johan's heart skipped a beat. He'd know those cards anywhere, even without looking at them.
"The Gem Beasts..."
"Yes. Your precious pretty deck." Juudai played with the cards, tiny wisps of white fire stirring at his fingertips. "Now, we bargain. Because if we don't, I won't hurt you - much."
His smirk reeked of madness and Light. Johan loathed it on sight and strained harder at his chains. "But I'll destroy them."
Johan's heart all but stopped in his chest.

Notes: I love tormenting Johan too much. Can there be too much?
