Jaden was running down the hallway of a castle. She had to get out of here. As she ran she heard people saying, "Good evening Haou." or "Hello Queen." she wanted to get out of here and fast. She ran past a door as she felt something, and went back to the door. She looked at it, back up a little, and kick it down with strong force.
She almost scream in happiness when she saw the orange sphere. She jump to it and grab it and held it close to her. The door close behind her and she gasp, "Haou, that wasn't vary nice." the same man said as he walked to her. He grab her arm that held the sphere and took it, "Give it back!" she order as he put it on a table near him, "Not till I get what I want." he said in her ear and she growl.
She burn his hands as he cried in pain, ran to the sphere and ran out the door when she open it. She ran down the hall, "There is a man in that room! Arrest him guards!" she commanded as knights went into the room and grab the man. A wizard push her behind him as he held his staff to the man, "This man has hurt the Queen. Kill him!" he order as a knight put his sword through the man killing him.
"Are you alright my Queen?" a knight kneel to her, "Thank you. I'm alright." she said as she dismiss him. Her eyes were yellow, but not the yellow with Blaze but I different type. Jaden walked down the hall as maids and servants bow to her.
A old man came to her, "My Queen, the village is in ruin. What must we do?" he asked her, "Send people to the village to help." she said as she walked up a large stair case. The old man bow to her as he walked off.
Jaden walked into a room that had a big balcony. It had black walls. She close the door behind her and looked around the room. There was a Queens bed that was next to a walk in closet. The bed had black blanket and red pillows on it. She looked at it, "At least they had style." she said as she walked in front of a mirror and looked at herself. She didn't like it. She felt this isn't hers. She then looked at her eyes. Not her eyes she knows but a different one. She didn't like it.
She remember what that man said her name, Haou. Who was Haou? She wonder as she to herself. She try remembering where she heard it but where?
She looked to the sphere she place on the bed and walked to it, "Can you get me out of here. I want to see my friends, Zack. Can you help me by anyway?" she asked it, hopefully. She wanted to cry when she didn't feel it's power. She felt useless and didn't know what to do. Then it hit her. Her powers. She couldn't used them and didn't know why. She was now scare.
"Think of home. Think about your father. You could do it." a voice said to her in her head. She looked around, "How?" she asked and the voice repeat what it told her in her head. She did as she was told and nothing happen. She wanted to cry. She wanted her father or Zack. She couldn't do this anymore. She had enough of this. She looked up when she saw someone, the first General.
"What are you doing here?" Jaden asked him as he step out the shadows with his sword, "Telling you that you had became of age. And it's a good time to." he said as he walked to her and she got off the bed. She had a knife under her dress and reach for it, "I'll make sure your dead this time." she said as first General ran to her and she fought him.
For a while they went at it. When it was over she was on him and was now stabbing him, for good. Now he was gone from her life, once and for all. She grab his sword, which was cover in blood. She was cover in blood as well and she didn't care.
She looked to her side and saw a portal that he use to get here and walked through it. She had enough and wanted answers and she want them now. She was done of orders given to her and she will be the one giving orders now.
When she landed on her feet, she looked around and saw her friends, Zack, and red hooded man and glare at them. Now they were scared. She pointed the sword to Zack, "I want answers and I want them now. And I will have the answers one way or the other." Jaden threaten to him as she looked at him. Everyone was now in fear of her.
"Blaze, Blaze calm down." Zack said trying to calm her down. She had that murder look in her eyes like she just killed someone and was proud of it as well. "Don't tell me to calm down. Now what does the turning of age means? Tell me now, or else." she said as she pointed the knife she had in her hands which was cover in blood and pointed to her friends and they gulp.
"Blaze, put the weapons down. I will give you all the answers you want." Zack said as the red hooded man step forward and push the sword away, "Jaden, you are a kind person. You wouldn't do this. You are being rash." he said to her, "Like hell you would care. I already had to deal with my so-called-mother here. And besides, why would you know me." she said as she pointed the sword to him. She was now piss beyond return.
She was ready to kill, "You are turning of age. That's why you are like this. It happens to people who has the elements when they are born." the red hooded man said as he place a hand on her shoulder. She lower her sword and knife and her head, "What is the turning of age?" she asked as she held back tears, "Father, please tell me." she whisper as she drop the weapons to the floor.
The man was taken back by this, "What did you say?" Zack said running to her and placing his hands on her shoulders, "For a while, I had this feeling that father isn't dead, but alive. Something inside of me kept telling me he is alive somewhere. And this man, I can feel it. He's father. He's my daddy." Jaden said to Zack as he turn to look at the man, "Who are you? Remove your hood and state your name." Zack order as he took his sword.
The may obey and removed his hood as Jaden fell to her knees and Zack lowered his sword, "Your formal first General. How are you alive?" he asked as Jaden ran to him hugging him. It was Hope Yuki, alive. "Just like her, I have a power that can help me. It help me stay alive when no one was looking as I disappear into the Dark World, waiting for my recovery. I didn't know what Marie did to Jaden, but I had this feeling she was getting hurt and I couldn't do a thing. Jaden, I'm sorry." he said as he return the hugged as she buried her face in his chest, crying.
Zack smile softly to the two and looked at her friends, "A lot of things can be excuses. But being told lies and not knowing what is going on, can lead to different things." Zack said as he contact Zig, giving him the news.
That night Jaden told what she done, "And she paid the police to out me in jail. Father, I didn't know what to do to protect myself. I was scared. I though it was the only way to go. When I was release, I was offer to join a gang and I did. Almost a year, he, he found me, and, and he saved me when I was left to die in the alleyway. I own him for what he did to me. He was like another father to me. And ever since then. I grew in ranks in the military and I was station here by Mr. Kaiba. He asked me to and then- and then-" she trail off as Hope put up his hand to make her stop, "I know what had happen. Its alright." both of them were in her room with Zack.
Her friends were down stairs waiting for them. "The turning of age is something that goes through the Yuki family. They must go in the army as they learn to control their power. I control water as you with fire. You are only twenty-one once Jaden. And yes you are twenty-one. Did you know that you were a little better than your friends?" he told her, her real age. She gasp as he showed her a picture of her the day she was born, and the year on it. She wipe away tears. She was smiling at this.
"Blaze. It fits with the fire, but I like Jaden better. You are a strong girl, caring even when you don't show it, beautiful as well. You are a smart kid. Thank you for raising her." Hope said as he stood up and shook Zack's hand, "I was glad to, sir." Zack said as he salute him and Jaden giggle at him and he blushed.
Hope smile to them, he knew Zack was a father to her and was glad for him to help her. He shock his head, "Well, I think its best to do something about your-so-call-mother. She did tried to kill me." he said as he contact the police and told them the real story. Jaden smile and walked out the room and sat on the railings, smiling to the moon. She was now happy and nothing can change it. She saw her friends and jump down.
"I feel better now." she said to them as she looked at her room where Hope and Zack walked out and lean against the railings. She waved to them and they waved back and she walked off with them, joking with them, "If I find out that something happen to her, you are paying for it." Hope said as he walked down the stairs smiling while a red face Zack eyes went wide. Hope began to laugh at him as he made his way to the docks with a red face Zack, "Dude, that's mean." he yelled at him and Jaden heard them and rolled her eyes. She never had a good life as she faugh. She close her eyes as the wind played with her hair as clips fell out her hair to show her long hair that reach past her knees as it reach a little above her heel. The hairclips had a power to make her hair shorter, "You know, I think I should take a vacation." she as she laugh as Winged Kuriboh became real and landed on her head, "Kuri Kuri!" he said as her eyes went wide, "ZACK! WE HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF THE YUBEL PROBLEM!" Jaden yelled as she put her hands on her head and Winged Kuriboh flew to Syrus head and landed on it.
Zack came running back, "And now you are saying this!?" he said as she nodded and he flew down, "Well, if Yubel is in the other world maybe things will be quiet. We'll deal with it when she comes back to take over the world." Hope said as he walked to them, "I'm not looking forward to it again." Jaden said in a emotion tone.
Jaden was looking at the sea near the lighthouse as she lean with her back on it. She had a smile on. She finally have peace, but for how long? There is the new General in the Freedom Fighters and it will be the last of them. She would have to leave for a time to finish the war, now that everyone knows about. Marie was arrested for the attempt murder of her father and now was in jail. Charges were press for abusing Jaden and was sent for a longer, longer time.
Jaden got up and walked to the Silfer Dorm and went into Chazz's room, where everyone was watching the news, "Yup, that's right. Yugi Moto will be dueling against him." a brunette man said to a blond woman, "Wish him the best of luck in the duel. In other news, Marie Yuki, the formal wife of Hope Yuki, who is alive, is charge for attempt murder and abusing their daughter, Jaden Yuki." the blond woman said, "That's right. The rumors are true. Her year of birth has been found. Wish you a happy twenty-first birthday Miss Yuki. And please come home safe in the military as well. Please finish this war that has been going on for the wrong reason. We wish the Alpha army, a safe journey back." the man said as the blond woman nodded, "And now here's Bobby with the weather."
Jaden smile, happy that they understood that what has been happing in the world until, "Twenty-one!?" and for her, well lets just say she didn't know she was twenty-one. She smile as she rub the back of her head and her device was going off, "Blaze, report to area 12. The mission briefing will begin." Zig voice was heard as she ran out the room to area 12. Area 12 is at the volcano on the island.
