Me: Okay…. Back away slowly…..

Jeanna: Why?

Me: I'm getting yelled at because Jesse's making it seem like his emotions died. And because Jaden's going crazy.

Jesse: My emotions didn't die!

Me: Then stop making it seem like it! And give me my ice cream back!

Jesse: No!

Jeanna: Fine, you can have the ice cream if you want to get fat!

Jesse: O.o

Discalimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh GX.

Chapter 37

Recap: Last time, Jaden and Jeanna reached the Detention Camp. When they checked the cells, only one containd a boy that looked like Jesse. This boy however, wasn't Jesse. Jaden and Jeanna still freed the boy anyway. As they exited the cell, they were surrounded by the Dark World Army, and its leader, Zure, Knight of the Dark World. Zure killed the boy Jaden and Jeanna were helping and Jaden got mad. Jaden and Zure started dueling. Meanwhile, their friends got captured by Goblins that were part of the Dark World Army. They were upset with Jaden going off on his own. However, now, Jaden is in a bind. Jaden has 700 life points left, while Zure has 2000. Will Jaden be able to pull through and win?

Jeanna's P.O.V

I think everybody noticed that Jaden was in despair. He was desperate to win, to not die. Zure said about how Jaden would like it if he saw his friends' corpses.

"I don't want to die," Syrus said in a scared voice. One of the warriors in the Dark World army, a Skull Knight number 2, raised his sword and started to bring it down on Syrus.

"Stop it!" Jaden screamed at the Skull Knight. It ignored him. In a flash I was in front of Syrus, with my Butterfly Daggers in front of me, crossed making an X, holding the sword, keeping it from hitting either Syrus or me. Syrus seemed a little shocked at how fast I moved. I've always been able to move at an inhuman speed. I don't know why though.

I pushed the sword off of my daggers, and kicked the Skull Knight in the stomach. He doubled over in pain, and I laughed. He deserved it. Then, I heard a shout from above, we all did. It was Freed, on one of the platforms.

He said something about Jaden not giving up, and killed one of the guards on the platform. He raised his sword up into the air and said that a true warrior protects his friends until the end. He jumped off the platform, declaring that he would sacrifice his life, soul, and body to become Jaden's warrior. Freed disappeared, becoming particles of light. He said that Jaden shouldn't give up hope. I didn't hear the last part of what Freed said before he completely disappeared, but Jaden obviously heard.

When Freed said Jaden's name, it seemed like Zure just realized what Jaden's name was. Jaden started his turn, seeming like he was feeling a little more confident.

"I summon," Jaden said, "Freed, the Brave Wanderer (ATK: 1700 DEF: 1200) in attack mode!" This move had surprised just about everybody. No one was expecting Jaden to play that card. Come to think of it, I don't think Jaden ever had that card in his deck.

"Next," Jaden said, "I'll play Soul Share! Now I can special summon Neospacian Flare Scarab (ATK: 500 DEF: 500) in attack mode! And he gains 400 attack points for each magic/trap card on your field! And since you have four, Flare scarab gets 1600 more attack points!"

Neospacian Flare Scarab: ATK: 2100 DEF: 500

"Also," Jaden said, "Soul Share also adds my special summoned monsters' attack points to Freed, the Brave Wanderer!"

Freed, the Brave Wanderer: ATK: 3800 DEF: 1200

"Your monster still can't attack," Zure sneered, "You'll still lose 1800 life points if Power Murder is destroyed." Jaden smirked at Zure.

"I'll activate Freed's special effect," Jaden said, "By removing Winged Kuriboh and Elemental Hero Neos, Freed can destroy any monster whose attack points are higher than his original attack points!" By activating Freed's special effect, Power Murder was destroyed. Jaden then declared attack on Power Bomb with Freed.

When Power Bomb was destroyed, Zure's life points immediately decreased to 0.

Jaden LP: 700

Zure LP: 0000

I let out a sigh of relief. Jaden barely won the duel, but he won.

Third Person P.O.V

Unnoticed to anybody, five little text balls appeared on five kids shoulders. They were Sadness, Doubt, Anguish, Rage, and Hatred. The kids they went to were Alexis, Syrus, Atticus, Chazz, and Hassleberry. Alexis had Sadness, Syrus Doubt, Atticus Anguish, Chazz Rage, and Hassleberry Hatred. They each resembled their feelings to either Zure dying or how Jaden had been treating them.

Everybody seemed to be in shock for a moment after Jaden won the duel. After the thought of Zure losing had set into the Dark World Army's minds, they dropped their weapons and ran away. They seemed to be scared and not want to share the same fate as Zure.

Freed's spirit appeared one last time before them. Jaden thanked him for his help in his duel. Then, Freed's body began to glow. Realization set into Jaden's mind as he realized that the condition of his trump card was that Freed sacrificed himself, meaning he died helping Jaden. Freed smiled and said that he shouldn't be upset because he had fulfilled his promise to the villagers and he helped Jaden save his friends. With that, Freed started to glow, and he disappeared one last time- this time forever.

Jaden fell to knees and shouted out Freed's name. He was devastated that Freed died. He didn't like that while he lived people died. Jeanna ran over to Jaden and kneeled next to him.

"It's alright Jaden," She said in a calm voice, "You're alright. Freed knew what he was doing when he sacrificed. You should be at least happy that you're alive." Jaden ignored Jeanna, and pushed her away as he got up.

'Talk about rude,' Jeanna thought to herself, 'I was just trying to help. If he really is him, then he doesn't know what he's in for.'

Again, only Jeanna was happy about Jaden's victory. Jim and Axel came down from where they had been watching the duel on a mountain to join the group.

"Are you guys okay?" Jim asked everybody. They all nodded and said that they were fine, but they all had either sad or confused looks on their faces.

Alexis was obviously scared that a life was attached to a duel in this world. That meant the stakes for losing were set unnaturally high.

Jaden turned to Freed's duel disk and promised him that he would save his friends and Jesse. That he would save them even if it meant he had to pay with his life or sacrifice himself.

'I'm starting to think,' Alexis thought to herself, 'If we keep following Jaden, one day we'll pay with our lives.' As she thought that, her little ball that read "Sadness" started to disappear. The same thing happened with Syrus, Atticus, Chazz, and Hassleberry.

They all seemed confused or uncertain for the future, except for Jaden and Jeanna. Jaden seemed active for the future, and Jeanna would follow Jaden anywhere given the chance. It's like she didn't want anything to happen to him.

Too bad she didn't know something WAS going to happen to Jaden, and affect her as well as him.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Me: I'm so mean. Two cliffhangers in a row.

Jesse: Yes, but that means you're also dead.

Me: OMG! You're actually talking. I thought for sure Jeanna scarred you for life with that comment of ice cream making you fat.

Jesse: It didn't.

Me: Wow. Still, give me my ice cream. I want some sugar.

Jesse: Aren't you dangerous with sugar?

Me: No……… Now give me my sugar!

Jesse: No. Definitely no. I don't trustyou with it.

Me: Aw, that's not fair! Fine get fat off of ice cream if you want to!

Jeanna: Those two will probably be fighting for a little bit. So, Read and Review! If you do, I'll let you have Mekishika's ice cream!
