Hi. I'm trying to get these next few chapters updated quickly to make up for the extreme lateness of the previous chapter. Try to enjoy.
Chapter 21.
Axel Brody walked along the halls of the hospital, scanning the room numbers. He recalled back to the night he had followed Jaden to the park where then had to fight against three opponents. His thoughts flashed back to that night.

Frost stepped forward. "I gotta say, you've got balls to interfere with us." He said. Axel didn't say anything. Frost lost patience. "Blaze, thunder, kill this poser!" he snarled. Blaze and Thunder raced towards Axel with full speed. Thunder reached Axel first, and brought his fist up and powered it at Axel.
But Axel was faster, and he pulled his duel disk from its holster at such a speed that it was a blur. The disk collided with Thunder's cheekbone, a loud snap was heard and Thunder sprawled to the ground, unconscious.
Blaze hesitated, but T-Bone raced past him towards Axel so Blaze joined the fight again, having regained his confidence. Blaze threw a quick punch at Axel but Axel dodged it and jumped to the left. As T-Bone turned towards him, Blaze ran at him and lashed his foot out in a ferocious kick.
Axel jumped backwards and narrowly dodged another punch thrown by T-Bone, however as T-Bone turned, his arms swung wide and miraculously connected with the side of Axel's head. Axel stumbled and Blaze came up and punched him in the face, as Axel fell backwards T-Bone grabbed him by the scruff of his neck and sunk his fist into Axel's stomach.
Blaze then punched Axel again, but Axel's leg came up and he kicked Blaze on the point of the chin. Blaze back flipped and crumpled on the grass with a thin line of blood trickling out of the corner of his mouth.
T-Bone was the remaining fighter left. He looked to his Frost for help but saw that he was stepping on Jaden's throat. Axel followed T-Bone's glance and began to run at Frost, but T-Bone intercepted and tried to punch Axel. Axel dropped and slid between T-Bone's legs and sprung back up to his feet and continued his sprint towards Frost.
T-Bone grabbed Axel by the back of his shirt and pulled him back. Axel spun and grabbed T-Bone's wrist and with a sharp move, he broke T-Bone's wrist. Then he brought his knee into T-Bone's stomach and finally punched him in the face. T-Bone's nose broke and blood flowed freely, he then stumbled and fell heavily to the ground.
Axel turned to Frost and Jaden, he saw Jaden on top of Frost, continually punching him in the face, Alexis came over to calm Jaden down. As Axel trudged slowly over to them he caught a glimpse of Jaden's golden eyes. Seeing those eyes gave him some very bad memories, but he only shook his head and continued over to them.

Axel entered Jaden's room and casually threw a box of chocolates on Jaden's lap. Jaden's eyes lit up and he practically tore the lid apart as if no force on Earth could stop him. He grabbed a random chocolate and placed it into his mouth. He closed his eyes as he chewed blissfully, "thanks Axel." He said as he threw another chocolate into his mouth.
"No problem." Axel replied as he sat on one of the chairs by the wall and dragged it closer. "So, how's your rib feeling?" he asked. Jaden shoved some more chocolates into his mouth before he answered. "It's still a bit painful from time to time, but it's not too bad." He said, while bits of chocolate sprayed from his mouth and onto his bed covers.
"Hey, I've been meaning to ask you, what did you do at the park?" Jaden asked. "Cause I remember the nurse saying that you went to the park after I was left here." Axel blinked. "Yeah, I went back to the park. Rang an ambulance and grouped that gang together, then left them for the paramedics."
Jaden absent mindedly placed a chocolate into his mouth and chewed thoughtfully. "Then what did you do?" Axel moved over to the window and stared out at the view. "There's nothing else to tell. And besides, something even better is here." He replied. Jaden sat up in his bed. "What? What is it?" he asked excitedly.
Axel turned to him, and smiled. "Just look out the window and see for yourself." Jaden moved out of bed and stepped up to the window. And looking down he began to grin, at the sight of his friends making their way towards the hospital.
