7. Hassleberry learning Jaden's secret

Yu-Gi-Oh GX: Season 2 – The Gentle Darkness vs The Light of Destruction

Last time as they carried replacement Duel Disks Jaden learned from Syrus about a guy who was at the bridge at the west river, forcing anyone who passes by there to duel him and takes their Duel Disks if he wins. Jaden then decided to go and face this guy and win them back. The duel against the Ra student named Hassleberry was intense, but in the end so was Jaden the winner, and during that time so had Hassleberry gained respect for Jaden and decided to move in with them to learn from Jaden, what will happen next?

Chapter 7- Hassleberry learning Jaden's secret

It was the next morning after Hassleberry had moved into the Slifer dorm and he was currently running towards the dorm as from his morning run, he looked behind him at Syrus who looked like he was about to collapse from exhaustion any second now, "Come on private, almost done".

Syrus looked at Hassleberry irritated, "You know, people usually sleep for as long as possible before they have to get up for class, not run five freaking miles before class starts". Hassleberry looked at him, "It is a pretty easy morning warm up, as time goes on, we will increase it, all I wonder is where is the Sarge?"

Syrus had also been a little shocked as Hassleberry woke him up (Chazz had temporally moved to another room since Hassleberry insisted on sleeping there), but he had a suspicion, he suspected that Jaden might be talking to Yubel or something like that and since Hassleberry didn't know about it yet (he figured Jaden would tell him when he felt ready) so had he left the room before they woke up.

He then saw how Hassleberry increased his speed and pulled ahead, which gave Syrus a chance to slow down and catch his breath, he was totally exhausted, Hassleberry had been almost more ruthless towards him during this morning run than Crowler was when he kept an eye on students he had given detention, he soon slowed down as he tried to clear his dizzy heat.

AT THE SAME TIME WITH HASSLEBERRY,

Hassleberry who had just reached the Slifer dorm looked behind him and didn't see Syrus, he figured that Syrus had stopped to rest and shook his head, "This only means we have to run an extra mile tomorrow morning". He then saw a bond haired girl knocking on the door to their room.

He then walked up the stairs and towards the person, "Halt! Identify yourself". He then got shocked as the girl turned towards him and he saw that it was Alexis Rhodes, the most famous girl in the academy that most the guys wants to be with.

Alexis looked at him confused, "Uh, I'm Alexis Rhodes, and I'm here to make sure that Jaden Yuki, my boyfriend will be on time for class for once, he usually is on time once or twice in the month".

Hassleberry looked shocked before he spoke, "Sorry I don't know where the Sarge is private Rhodes", Alexis looked at him confused. She then heard someone gasping for air while coming up for the stairs, she looked towards the stairs and saw Syrus coming towards them, he then saw Alexis, "Alexis! Are you here to make sure that Jaden wakes up in time?"

Alexis nodded, Syrus sighed and looked next to him, "He wasn't here when we woke up". Alexis was a little shocked when she heard that, she than looked at Hassleberry and pointed at him, "And who is this guy?"

Syrus looked at Hassleberry before looking back at Alexis, "This guy who forced me to run 5 miles before class starts, his name is Hassleberry, he seems to think he's in the army, we met him yesterday and Jaden beat him in a duel, during that time it seems he gained some respect for Jaden and decided to move in with us despite being a Ra".

Alexis nodded, she was beginning to understand the situation a bit now, now she wondered if Jaden had left to have a conversation with Yubel, and from the look on Syrus's face, he was thinking the same thing.

Then suddenly they heard someone coming up the stairs, they then saw how Jaden walked up and that he was holding a card in his hand, he then saw Alexis and his roommates outside of their room. He placed the card into one of his deck boxes, "Hi guys, is there a meeting going on that I didn't know about?"

Syrus grabbed Jaden while he cried, "Jay! How could how leave me alone with this maniac?" Jaden looked at him confused before looking at Alexis, she shrugged her shoulders, "From what I understood, he made Syrus run 5 miles as a morning warm up".

Jaden got a look of understanding, Yubel appeared next to him, "Looks like Sy and you might have a tough future ahead of you, especially you who like to sleep". Jaden looked at her with a troubled smile, "Yeah I guess so", he mentally answered her.

He then saw how Hassleberry looked at him worried, "Uh, are you okay Sarge?" Jaden then saw how Alexis and Syrus looked troubled and he also realized that he had unintentionally mentally had an conversation with Yubel in front of Hassleberry.

Jaden looked at him, "Well, uh, I was just thinking about something funny that's all". Hassleberry looked at him, he had a doubtful look on his face, but he nodded and then looked at Syrus, "Well soldier, we need to shower before class, so let's get moving". Syrus sighed and followed him, Jaden and Alexis looked at each other before they laughed a little.

LATER THAT DAY IN THE OBELISK ARENA,

Alexis and Syrus sat in the spectator seat along with Hassleberry, an freshman Obelisk had challenged Jaden for the title of being the best at Duel Academy, Hassleberry looked at them, "So, which deck do you guys think the Sarge will use today?"

Alexis looked at him, "Well Jaden has told me that he is almost finished with his third one, but it needs a little more work, considering the main cards in it", Syrus looked at her, knowing that she was talking about the Sacred Beasts.

Hassleberry looked at them, "Jaden said the same thing, what kind of cards are we talking about here". Alexis looked at him, "Well… Jaden will show you when the time is right, trust me". They then looked down as Jaden had just finished shuffling the freshman's deck and handed it back while the freshman handed back Jaden's as they walked to opposite sides of the stage.

Jaden looked at the opponent as he put his deck into his Duel Disk, "So, mind telling me your name?" The Obelisk freshman looked at him as he put his deck into his Duel Disk, "My name is Derek Jones, and I'm here to prove that you don't deserve to be the best one at the academy".

Jaden looked at him, "And why is that?" Derek looked at him, "The only reason is that you are the best in the school is because you have a one of kind rare cards like the Elemental Dragon Heroes, without them you would be nothing".

Jaden smiled as he drew his first five cards, "Well I guess we'll see soon, since this is my original deck, which I had before I got my Hero Dragons". Derek then drew his first five cards as well, "Oh really, then I will beat you no problem".

Syrus shook his head, "Oh, so many has said that before, and yet every single one of them has been so wrong, the only one who could beat him was my brother, and I doubt this kid is nearly as good as he is". Alexis nodded as she agreed.

Derek then placed his fingers on his deck, "Winners first, so I draw". He drew his card and looked at it, "I start with summoning Fox Fire in defense mode". A small red fox with a white stomach with a small fire at the tip of its tail, Def: 200.

He then grabbed a card in his hand, "Next I place one card face down and end my turn". Jaden then took and drew his next card and looked at it, "I now summon Elemental Hero Bubbleman in attack mode". Bubbleman appeared on the field, Atk: 800.

Jaden then placed his fingers on his deck, "And since he's alone on my field, I get to draw two more cards from my deck". Jaden drew two more cards, he looked at them, "I now play the spell card Bubble Rod which gives him 800 more attack points", a rod appeared in Bubbleman in his hand, Atk: 800-1600.

Jaden then took and pointed at Fox Fire, "Now Bubbleman, attack Fox Fire now". Bubbleman took and swung the Bubble Rod and a stream of water came out and hit Fox Fire, destroying it.

Derek then pressed a button on his Duel Disk, "I activate the trap Backfire, when a fire monster on my side of the field is destroyed and sent to the graveyard, you take 500 points of damage".

A blast of fire then flew out and hit Jaden, Jaden LP: 4000-3500. Jaden then grabbed one cards in his hand and placed it in to his Duel Disk, "I now place a card face down and end my turn".

Fox Fire then reappeared, Def: 200. Derek looked at him, "At the end phase of the turn Fox Fire is destroyed in battle he's special summoned back to the field".

Derek then took and drew his next card, he looked at it. "I now summon Great Angus in attack mode". A red animal with large fangs appeared on the field, Atk: 1800.

Derek then pointed at Bubbleman, "Now Great Angus attack Bubbleman". Angus then took and slashed Bubbleman before breathing fire at him, destroying him, Jaden LP: 3500-3300.

Jaden pressed a button on his Duel Disk, "I play the trap card Hero Signal, since one of my monsters was destroyed I get to summon a level 4 or below Elemental Hero from my deck, so come forth Elemental Hero Heat". Elemental Hero Heat appeared on the field, Atk: 1600.

Jaden then pointed at Heat, "And now my Hero Heat gains 200 attack points for every Elemental Hero on the field, including himself", Heat, Atk: 1600-1800. Jaden then drew a card from his deck, "Also since Bubble Rod was destroyed, I get to draw one card". Derek then looked at him at him, "Well if this is all you can do then it will be over soon".

Jaden took and drew his next card, he looked at it, "Now I summon Elemental Hero Lady Heat", Lady Heat then appeared on the field, Atk: 1300. Jaden then smiled, "And now Heat gains another 200 attack points". Heat Atk: 1800-2000.

Jaden then placed a card in to his Duel Disk, "Next I play the spell card R – Righteous Justice, and with it I can destroy one spell or trap on your field for every Elemental Hero on my field, so say good bye to your Backfire trap card". Backfire then was destroyed, and Derek gritted his teeth.

Jaden then grabbed another card in his hand, "Next, I play the spell card H – Heated Heart, which gives Lady Heat 500 more attack points, and the ability to inflict piercing damage until the end of this turn", Lady Heat, Atk: 1300-1800.

Jaden then pointed at Great Angus, "Now Heat, attack Angus", Heat's fist got covered by fire and he rammed it into Angus, destroying him, Derek LP: 4000-3800. Jaden then pointed at Fox Fire, "And now Lady Heat attack Fox Fire". Lady Heat fired a blast of fire towards Fox Fire and destroyed it, Derek LP: 3800-2200.

Jaden then grabbed another card in his hand, "I place one card face down, and with that, H – Heated Heart's effect end". Lady Heat, Atk: 1800-1300. Jaden also looked at Derek, "And also, since it's the end phase of the turn of its destruction, Fox Fire will return to the field". Fire Fox reappeared on the field, Def: 200.

Jaden then looked at him as a fireball formed in each of Lady Heat's hands, "Oh, I almost forgot, Lady Heat takes away 200 of your life points for every Elemental Hero on my side of the field". Lady Heat then tossed the fireballs at Derek who covered his face, Derek LP: 2200-1800.

Derek glared at him, he then took and drew his next card, "First I play the spell card Monster Reborn, and with it I bring back Great Angus in attack mode", Angus returned to the field, Atk: 1800.

Derek then grabbed a card in his hand, "Next I sacrifice him to summon Twin Headed Fire Dragon", Great Angus disappeared and got replaced by a red twin headed dragon, Atk: 2200.

He then grabbed another card in his hand, "Next I play the spell card Double Summon, so now I get to summon another monster this turn, and so I summon Ultimate Baseball Kid". A kid in a baseball outfit and a baseball bat, Atk: 500.

Derek looked at Jaden with a smirk, "He may seem weak, but he has quite a powerful ability, you see he gains 1000 attack points for every fire monster on the field except for himself, so with Fox Fire, Twin Headed Fire Dragon and your two Elemental Heroes, he gains another 4000 points". Ultimate Baseball Kid raised his bat as he got covered in a red aura, Atk: 500-4500.

Jaden then pressed a button on his Duel Disk, "I activate my trap card Elemental Recharge, so now for every Elemental Recharge, so now I gain 1000 life points for every Elemental Hero on the field". Jaden then got covered in a blue aura, Jaden LP: 3300-5300.

Derek narrowed his eyes, "Doesn't matter, Ultimate Baseball Kid attack Lady Heat now". A burning baseball appeared in Ultimate Baseball Kid's hand, he then tossed it up and hit it with the bat and sent it flying through Lady Heat who got destroyed, Jaden LP: 5300-2100. Derek looked at him, "And now with one less Elemental Hero on the field, your Heat loses 200 attack points", Heat, Atk: 2000-1800.

Jaden looked at him, "Yeah but don't forget, with one less fire monster on the field your Baseball Kid loses 1000 attack points". Ultimate Baseball Kid, Atk: 4500-3500. Derek looked at him, "Still he has over 3000 points, and next my Twin Headed Fire Dragon will attack your Hero Heat". Twin Headed Fire Dragon opened both of its mouths and unleashed a stream of flames from them and hit Heat who got destroyed, Jaden LP: 2100-1700.

Derek looked at him, "Of course Baseball Kid loses another 1000 attack points, but he still have a lot of points left". Ultimate Baseball Kid, Atk: 3500-2500. Derek looked at him, "And with that I end my turn, but next turn I will crush you and show everyone that you're not truly the best at the academy".

Syrus looked troubled, "No one wants to believe that Jaden is the best just because he is wearing a Slifer jacket". Alexis nodded, "Yeah, even though in ranking is a Ra, and could most likely been promoted into blue before the end of the year if he had worked hard, but he didn't want to leave you and Chumley".

Syrus nodded with a smile, Hassleberry looked at Jaden with a look of admiration on his face, "The Sarge is a great person", Syrus looked at him and nodded, Alexis smiled a little as she continued to watch as Jaden prepared to start his turn.

Jaden took and drew his next card and looked at it, he smiled and placed it into his Duel Disk, "I play the spell card The Warrior Returning Alive! I'll use it to bring back Bubbleman to my hand".

Bubbleman came out his Jaden's graveyard and he grabbed him, "And next I summon him in defense mode". Bubbleman then reappeared on the field and went down on a knee and crossed his arms, Def: 1200, "And since he's alone I get to draw two more cards".

Jaden then drew two more cards from his deck, he looked at them, he placed them into his hand and grabbed another one, "Next I use Quick Summon which allows me to normal summon one more time this turn".

Jaden then grabbed another card in his hand, "Now I sacrifice Bubbleman in order to summon my Des Volstgalph in attack mode". Bubbleman disappeared and Des Volstgalph appeared on the field, Atk: 2200.

Jaden then grabbed three of the remaining four cards in his hand, "Next I play Polymerization and use it to merge Sparkman and Clayman, to create the mighty Elemental Hero Thunder Giant".

Sparkman and Clayman got sucked into the vortex and out came Thunder Giant, Atk: 2400. Jaden looked at Derek, "Also every time I use a spell card, Des Volstgalph gains 200 attack points until the end of the turn". Des Volstgalph, Atk: 2200-2400.

Hassleberry looked a little troubled, "Well, on one hand the Sarge has two powerful monsters now and Des Volstgalph's other ability is that when he destroys an enemy in battle the commander of that monster takes 500 points of damage, on the other hand it will not be enough to take him out".

Alexis smiled. "No problem, he also has Thunder Giant", Syrus nodded, "That's right, Jaden still have one card in his hand, and by discarding one card from his hand so can Thunder Giant destroy one opposing monster whose original attack is less than his own". A smirk appeared on Hassleberry's face as he heard that, realizing that Jaden now had this match in the bag.

Jaden grabbed the last card in his hand and placed it into his graveyard, "By sending one card from my hand to the graveyard I will destroy your Fox Fire, Static Blast", Thunder Giant unleashed electricity from his hands and it destroyed Fox Fire. Jaden looked at Derek who now looked a little troubled, "And with that, Baseball Kid loses another 1000 attack points". Baseball Kid, Atk: 2500-1500.

Jaden then pointed at Twin Headed Fire Dragon, "Now Des Volstgalph, attack Twin Headed Fire Dragon", Des Volstgalph fired his blue fire and it hit Twin Headed Fire Dragon and it got destroyed, Derek LP: 1800-1600. Jaden then pointed at Derek, "And now Des Volstgalph's second ability takes away 500 more life points from you since he destroyed one of your monsters in battle". Derek LP: 1600-1100.

Derek now looked at his Ultimate Baseball Kid which was the last monster on his field with a worried expression.

Jaden had a smirk on his face, "I see you understand, now since Ultimate Baseball Kid is the only fire monster on the field, his attack points is now back to his original amount", ultimate Baseball Kid, Atk: 1500-500.

Jaden looked at Derek who had a look of despair on his face, "This has been a fun duel, haven't fought against many people who's using a fire deck, and I would like to face more of your monsters since I do believe it would be really fun, but unfortunately, this ends now, Thunder Giant attack Ultimate Baseball Kid with Voltic Thunder".

Thunder Giant then took and unleashed a blast of electricity from his hands which hit Ultimate Baseball Kid and destroyed him, Derek LP: 1100-0. Derek sank down on his knees with a disbelieving look on his face, Jaden did his usual pose, "That was a great duel, and I hope to face you more times, so I can see more of your deck".

The others then stood up and watched as Jaden walked towards them, they then saw how Jaden then suddenly turned his head a little to his right and it looked like he listen to someone. Alexis and Syrus looked at Hassleberry who looked confused and a little worried about Jaden. They knew that Jaden was talking to Yubel, but Hassleberry didn't, so they knew he must be confused, they were worried that Jaden might have to tell Hassleberry about his powers before he felt ready for it.

LATER THAT THE DAY,

Jaden was walked out of the class with Alexis and Syrus, Alexis looked at him, "Jaden, there is a chance that Hassleberry will start believing that you hear voices in your head, not the way you hear them, but the bad way". Syrus looked at him troubled while he nodded his head.

Jaden looked at them before he looked forward, "I'm thinking of telling him anyway". Alexis and Syrus stopped and looked at him shocked. Jaden stopped and looked at them confused, "What?"

Alexis looked him, "Well, I was just not expecting you to tell him this soon, I mean you have always hesitated to tell people about that kind of things". Syrus nodded, "Yeah, I mean, you were always worried about being rejected if people found out, I mean you truly believed that me and Chumley would stop being your friends and abandon you when we found out about your powers".

Jaden nodded when he said that, "I know that, but after all I have gone through with you guys, all of you accepting me for who I am and what I can do helped me realize that if someone is truly my friend, they will accept me even if they find out what I can do, so if it's the same with Hassleberry, then he will accept me like you guys did, besides it's better if I tell him as soon as possible, instead of how all of you found out about it".

Alexis and Syrus looked at each other and then looked at Jaden with a smile, Alexis then said, "Well, if you feel that you're truly ready to tell him this soon, then you should do it". Syrus nodded as he agreed with Alexis.

Jaden smiled at them, "Thanks guys, now come on, we need to get going". They began walking again, Yubel then appeared next to Jaden, "I know you think this is for the best Jaden, but are you sure that you're really ready to tell Hassleberry?"

Jaden looked at her out of the corner of his eye, "like I told Alexis and Syrus, after all I have gone through, I'm willing to take the risk, if he sees me as a friend, this should not bother him, also I think it will be better to tell him pretty early, like I said, I don't want him to discover it like the others did", Jaden mentally told her. Yubel nodded, understanding how Jaden was thinking, and hoping that it would turn out as well as Jaden hoped it would.

LATER THAT EVENING,

Jaden walked into the dorm room and saw Syrus and Hassleberry arguing again, Jaden sighed before he called out to them. Both of them looked towards him and Hassleberry got a smile on his face, "You're finally back Sarge".

Jaden pointed over his shoulder towards the door, "Could you come with me for a walk Hassleberry?" There is something I need to talk to you about". Hassleberry immediately did a solute, "Sir, yes sir". Jaden sighed and smiled, Hassleberry then walked over to the door and began putting on his shoes.

Syrus began walking over towards them, he knew that Jaden was planning on telling Hassleberry about his powers and he wanted to come with to give Jaden morale support. However Jaden held up his hand as Syrus came up to him, he leaned in and whispered, "I know you want to come with Sy, but I need to do this on my own, okay?" Syrus looked at him worried but nodded as he understood.

Hassleberry then looked at Jaden, "I'm ready now, so let's move out Sarge", Jaden looked at him and nodded and then walked over to him, he then opened the door and Hassleberry walked out, Jaden looked back at Syrus for a moment and gave him a reassuring smile before he walked out through the door before he closed it.

A WHILE LATER,

Jaden walked through the forest, they had gotten pretty far, Hassleberry looked at him, "So why did you want me to join you for a walk Jaden? Is there something you want to talk about?"

Jaden looked up at the sky for a second before he sighed, he then looked at Hassleberry, what do you think of me Hassleberry? I mean as a person". Hassleberry looked at Jaden with pure confusion on his face.

"That's a weird question Sarge, you are a great person is thinking about people around you and from what I have heard so are you always willing to help others in need and do the right thing, a true commanding officer".

Jaden rubbed the back of his head sheepishly, I wouldn't go that far, but at least you think positively about me, which makes this a little easier". Hassleberry looked at him confused and Jaden looked at him seriously, "Hassleberry, do you happen to have your deck with you?"

Hassleberry nodded and took out his deck with a smile, "Of course, I have always been taught to keep my troops close in case I need to go into battle". Jaden nodded, "In that case, could I borrow your Dark Tyranno card?"

Hassleberry looked confused but nodded his head, he then looked through his deck and then took out the Dark Tyranno card, he then held out it towards Jaden. Jaden took the card and walked away from Hassleberry so there was quite a distance between them.

Hassleberry looked at Jaden as he closed his eyes, he wondered what was going on, he then gasped as he saw that Jaden's eyes had turned golden, Jaden then held up the card and his eyes glowed a little as did the card, "Ferocious dinosaur that crushes and devours everything in your path, hear my call and appear before us now, come forth Dark Tyranno".

A strong light appeared and Hassleberry covered his eyes with an arm for a second, he then moved his arm out of the way and got shocked as he saw Dark Tyranno standing there growling in front of him. He looked towards Jaden, he hadn't seen him carrying a Duel Disk but looked just to be sure and saw that he was still holding Dark Tyranno's card in his hand.

Hassleberry looked a little worried as Dark Tyranno moved towards him, but as the large brown T-Rex came close to him so stopped it and sniffed on him, he looked past it and at Jaden who smiled at him, "He wanted to come over to see you up close since you're his owner and partner".

Hassleberry looked at Dark Tyranno in front of him and then hesitantly moved a hand towards him, his eyes widened as he could actually touch Dark Tyranno, which meant that he was really there like he had suspected when Jaden didn't use a Duel Disk to call upon him.

Then suddenly Dark Tyranno began to glow, he roared for a second before he disappeared, Hassleberry looked at Jaden shocked as he walked over to him and held out Dark Tyranno's card towards him. Hassleberry looked at him in complete shock and confusion, "How… how did you…?"

Jaden gave him a troubled smile, "The thing is, I was born with special powers, but they didn't show themselves until I was 8 years old. I can summon see duel spirits, communicate with them, and even summon them and control them, but for me I consider them more as friends".

Hassleberry opened his mouth in shock, he then calmed down and took a deep breath, he looked at Jaden, "Why are you telling me this? I'm honored that you trust me enough to tell me, but why did you tell me this?"

Jaden sighed and rubbed the back of his head again, "Well, before I came to Duel Academy I had a bad history with people finding out about my powers". Hassleberry looked at him confused, Jaden sighed, "When I was in middle school, an bully found out my powers when I summoned my most trusted duel spirit Yubel, and my school life turned into a hell for a year after that".

Hassleberry narrowed his eyes when he heard that, "What happened Sarge?" Jaden sighed again, "Well to put it simply, he told his friends and they spread it around and began treating me as the biggest freak of the century, while others students didn't believe them so avoided they me to make sure they wouldn't be treated as freaks as well".

Hassleberry looked at him, "You said that it lasted for a year, how did you make it stop?" Jaden looked at him, "Well, around a year after it happened, the bully Jake Becker and his friends got tired because no one believed them, so they tried to make me use my powers to summon a creature again, I refused and eventually they used force to try and make me summon a creature".

Hassleberry clenched his fists which started tremble from anger, Jaden didn't notice and continued, "Once this happened, the school convinced their parents to move them to different schools in hopes that it would stop them from bullying people and a while later so did the other kids start hanging out with me again. However this experience caused me to fear that I would be rejected by everyone in case they found out about what I could do".

Jaden closed his eyes and continued, "I really believed that my friends here would abandon me if they learned about my powers. I was so sure that once Syrus and our old roommate learned about them when I saved them from a rampaging duel spirit, I was truly prepared to leave our room and said to them that if they didn't want to continue being my friends I would understand. So I was truly shocked when they didn't care about that I had special powers and told me that they were still my friends, I was also equally shocked and happy when the rest of my friends as well as Sheppard and our old headmaster still accepted me for who I am and what I can do".

Jaden then quickly opened his eyes when he heard a thud, he looked towards Hassleberry and saw that he had hit a tree with his fist, Hassleberry then came over to him with a determined look on his face, "Trust me when I say this, I will never turn my back on you for something like you having special abilities".

Jaden smiled thankfully at Hassleberry, Hassleberry then looked at him, "Any idea why you was born with these powers?" Jaden nodded and opened one of his deck boxes, "Yeah, remember how I told you that Yubel was my most trusted duel spirit? Well she was the one who finally told me the whole story during my first year here".

Jaden held up Yubel's card and his eyes turned golden again and glowed for a second before Yubel appeared. Jaden looked at her and she nodded. Yubel then looked at Hassleberry, "From the beginning of time, there has been two opposite forces battling each other, one being the Gentle Darkness and the other the Light of Destruction".

Hassleberry, "Wait, aren't light usually good and darkness is usually bad? Are you telling me that it's reversed in this case?" Yubel nodded her head, "Yes indeed, and these forces has battled each other since the dawn of time itself, and so far the light has always been defeated which is good, since its goal is universal destruction".

Hassleberry looked shocked before he looked at Jaden and then back at Yubel, "That's interesting and all, but what does that has to do with Jaden?" Yubel looked him in the eyes, "Because, Jaden possesses the power of the Gentle Darkness".

Hassleberry looked at Jaden in disbelief before looking back at Yubel, "Jaden is the reincarnation of an ancient powerful warrior and leader called the Supreme King, his destiny was to one day face the Light of Destruction and hopefully defeat it, but the light would return one day, so the power of darkness would be reborn in the new Supreme King once he was born, and the guardian, the person closest to the Supreme King who willingly turned herself into a duel spirit would guard over the vessels for the power of the Gentle Darkness".

Hassleberry's eyes widened, "You mean yourself right? You used to be human?" Yubel nodded her head and looked at Jaden, "Anyway, Jaden is the new Supreme King, and now it's up to him to defeat the Gentle Darkness and save the universe from destruction".

Jaden looked at Hassleberry and Hassleberry looked back at him, "So there you have it Hassleberry, so what do you think?" Hassleberry got a smirk on his face as he once again did a solute towards Jaden, "Like I said, it doesn't matter if you have some kind of powers, in fact it only makes more special, and I swear that I will stand by you and help you in your fight, or fall trying".

Jaden looked a little troubled when he heard that, "Well you don't have to go that far, and I appreciate the offer to help me, but I this is my battle and I don't anyone to get hurt in it".

Hassleberry looked at him amazed, "You know Sarge, that enemy that you're gonna have to face is after universal destruction, and I don't know about you, but I think you will need all the help and support you can get". Jaden looked at Yubel who nodded at him, he then smiled at Hassleberry, "Thanks Hassleberry, I accept your offer then, of course we don't know when the Light of Destruction will show itself and it could be years from now if I'm very lucky".

However Jaden who knew his own luck doubted that, and the fact that Yubel and he believed that Aster might be connected to the Light of Destruction, which he might not be aware of, since he came here to test Jaden for no real reason. Jaden then saw how Hassleberry held out his fist towards Jaden, Jaden smiled and bumped fists with him.

Jaden then turned around and looked towards Hassleberry over his shoulder with a smile as his eyes became brown again, "Follow me, and you will get to experience an amazing thing", Hassleberry looked at him confused and then saw how Yubel disappeared with a smirk, he then followed Jaden.

They soon got out of the forest and stood in front of a cliff, "Okay, what are we gonna do?" Jaden smiled as he opened the same deck box as before and took out a card as his eyes began to glow golden again and a creature began to appear front of them, Hassleberry's eyes widened as he recognized the monster that were summoned.

A LITTLE WHILE LATER,

Jaden looked at Hassleberry as he cried out in excitement as he sat on one of Yubel – Terror Incarnate's necks while Jaden sat on the other one while the twin headed fiend monster flew out over the ocean just to make sure that no one could see them. Hassleberry looked at him, "Do you do this often?"

Jaden nodded and looked forward, "I tend to like to fly with one of my creatures that can fly from time to time, but this is actually the first time I'm flying with Terror Incarnate". Hassleberry looked at him, "You did say that Terror Incarnate is one of Yubel's three forms, how did that happen?"

Jaden looked at him, "From what I understood, they infused what was called the Dragon's Heart into her in order to make her into a duel spirit, and during my past life, she eventually needed to evolve and get stronger, so she tapped into more of the power of the Dragon's Heart, and gained the forms of Yubel – Terror Incarnate and Yubel – The Ultimate Nightmare".

Hassleberry nodded, "So, think it's time to return now? I mean private Truesdale might be worried". Jaden nodded, "Yeah, he knew I was gonna tell you and wanted to come along to give me morale support, but I needed to do this alone, but you're right that we should get back".

Jaden then looked at Terror Incarnate and both its heads roared before turning around and flying back towards the island. Soon it landed on the beach, Hassleberry and Jaden climbed off and Jaden called Terror Incarnate back before they walked towards the Slifer dorm.

A LITTLE WHILE LATER AT THE SLIFER DORM,

Jaden and Hassleberry walked through the door to their room, they saw Syrus sitting on Jaden's bed, the moment he saw them he jumped up from the bed and looked at them, "So, do you still accept Jaden Hassleberry?"

Hassleberry looked Syrus straight in the eyes before a smile appeared on his face, "I will fight by your side, so how will we know when and if the enemy will show themselves?"

Syrus looked at Jaden with a smile and Jaden had a smile on his face before looking at them, "Well, Yubel and I have a suspicion that it might come soon, we can't say for sure since it's just a suspicion, but we will defeat the Light of Destruction together". Syrus and Hassleberry nodded, and Jaden smiled as he looked at his two roommates preparing to look through their decks, to improve them, thinking he had the best friends in the world.

So Alexis got to meet Hassleberry, and Hassleberry started to wonder if Jaden was hearing voices. Jaden decided to tell Hassleberry as soon as possible to avoid misunderstandings and see if he would still accept Jaden after learning about what he could do. Not only did he accept him but swore to help him in his fight against the Light of Destruction. What will happen next? Continue reading to find out and please review.
