Chapter 38

Recap: Last time, Jaden barely won his duel between him and Zure. More feelings arise after Freed dies because he sacrificed himself to help Jaden. After Zure died, all the knights ran away in fear, dropping their weapons. Everybody is seemingly okay, just scared and confused of what had just happened. Now, something is going to be happening soon that seemingly connects between Jaden and Jeanna

While everybody waited outside, Jaden ventured deeper into the Detention Camp, despite Jeanna's protests of her wanting to go with him. She was outside sulking with the others, fuming at Jaden who didn't want help even though she thought he needed it.

Everybody was waiting near the gate for Jaden to come back. Nobody moved as they heard Jaden dueling. Jenny and Jenna seemed to be talking about something. It seemed to be about how Jaden wasn't letting any of them help at all. Everybody else seemed to be doing something else.

Atticus was playing his guitar, trying to get rid of everybody's stress.

"I don't understand what Jaden is doing," Chazz said, "He's just being stupid," His Ojama's appeared by him and repeated what Chazz said, agreeing with him.

"He's trying to do something," Syrus said, "But what?" Hassleberry nodded in agreement. Alexis was concerned about Jaden saying that they would save Freed's friends and Jesse.

'We aren't heroes,' Alexis thought to herself, 'We can't do this. Jaden's rushing himself, but why?'

"Jaden's just confused," Blaire said, "He doesn't understand this world much." Chazz threw Blaire a dirty look.

"If he's confused then," Chazz said, "Why is he going ahead without us? Treating us like we can't do anything?" Jeanna sighed shaking her head.

"He's losing his grip on his sanity," Jeanna said, intervening into the conversation, trying to stop a fight, "He's worried and doesn't want any of us to get hurt. He didn't want any of you to come along with him. He thinks only he should be finding Jesse, because it's his fault that Jesse is gone." Before anyone could say anything, Jaden called them, the look on his face seemingly happy.

He said that he found a map to the next fortress, and a way to help them get there. Jaden appeared riding on a Sonic Duck, with several following behind him. Jeanna seemed to panic at the sight of them.

"Do we have to ride them?" Jeanna asked a little nervously, "Cause, I think I'd rather fly." Jaden didn't say anything. Chazz stepped in and said about how it wasn't determined that Jesse was at the next Fortress or not, and if he wasn't what Jaden would do.

"I'll just go to the next one if Jesse isn't there," Jaden replied simply, "And even if he's not there, I might be able to save Freed's friends there."

"What if Freed's friends aren't there?" Chazz snapped, "What then?" Jaden replied that this world was very wide, so they would be somewhere. Then, without waiting for anyone, he headed off on his Sonic Duck. Jeanna stuck her tongue out at Chazz, and spread her wings and took off at top speed, following Jaden.

Everybody sighed and climbed onto their Sonic Ducks. Axel and Jim had already been on their Sonic Ducks, as well as Jenny and Jenna.

"This is Enemy territory so we have to be careful," Axel said, as he and Jim followed Jaden and Jeanna.

Syrus seemed a little confused by this abrupt decision. Before he could do anything else though, his Sonic Duck picked him up and tossed Syrus onto its back before running off. Syrus clung to his Sonic Ducks red scarf desperately as it ran off. Jenny and Jenna followed him.

"Be careful not to fall off," Atticus told Alexis, before they went after the others. Chazz and Hassleberry followed Jaden even though Chazz was uncomfortable riding the Sonic Ducks. Hassleberry called after Jaden to wait for them.

Jaden and Jeanna were at the front of the line.

"I'm coming Jesse," Jaden said in a quiet voice, "I'm coming and I'm going to rescue you." Jeanna gave a weak smile. Jaden was determined to get Jesse back no matter what.

"I know you are alive," Jaden added, "You're alive somewhere in this world."

Unnoticed to either Jaden or Jeanna, two monsters were standing on top of a cliff. One was silver. He recognized Jaden as the one who defeated Zure in the duel.

"No," the gold one said, "He isn't our target. We'll leave him to Brron. Our targets right now are his friends." The gold one pointed towards the figures following Jaden and Jeanna.

Alexis and Atticus had no problem what so ever riding their Sonic Ducks. Chazz didn't either. Well… didn't until he said,

"Speed up," to the Sonic Duck. The Sonic Duck did as it was told, but it saw a big rock in front of it, and it jumped over the rock. Its landing was fine, it just dropped Chazz as it ran off again.

As Chazz stood up, Hassleberry and his Sonic Duck came running towards him. Hassleberry got knocked off of his Sonic Duck as it rammed into Chazz. Both of their Sonic Ducks ran into Alexis and Atticus's Sonic Ducks, knocking them off of their Sonic Ducks as well. That meant none of them had any Sonic Ducks to ride.

"I can't believe that slacker hasn't thought of us at all!" Chazz cried out in frustration, "He just keeps leaving us behind like we aren't even here!"

"Yeah," Hassleberry said, agreeing, "We came here to save Jesse as well. The sarge can't be doing everything by himself."

"Well it can't be helped that we don't really know where Jesse is," Atticus said. Chazz and Hassleberry glared at him.

"Jaden must be thinking differently," Alexis said sadly.

"It's Jaden's fault," Chazz snapped, "That he forgot about us coming with him, and that he doesn't care what happens to us!"

"I'm getting sick of the sarge's behavior as well," Hassleberry said, "He's acting selfish, like we can't do anything."

"I don't think this is Jaden's fault," Atticus said, "But I think he should've payed a little more attention to us who were helping him."

"Jaden shouldn't be pushing us away like this," Alexis said, "We're just trying to help him. But, he doesn't even want our help." Chazz looked extremely angry at this point.

"I'm going to punch that slacker until he comes to his senses!" Chazz said, fuming at the very thought of Jaden.

"How are we going to go after him?" Hassleberry said, "The Sonic Ducks have all ran away."

"The destination is far away and it's painful to our physical and mental strength," atticus added, his tone sounding very sad.

"Stop talking like that!" Alexis told her brother, her voice cracking. It sounded like Alexis was going to cry.

It was then they noticed a chuckling noise coming from atop of the cliff. Down from it jumped two monsters; a silver one and a gold one.

"We'll lead you to Brron's fortress," the one said. Chazz activated his Duel Disk.

"Step back Alexis," he told her.

"No Chazz!" Alexis said, "Remember this is a life or Death duel! You could die!" Alexis and Atticus both told Chazz that they were Goldd, Wu-Lord of the Dark World, and Siliva, Warlord of the Dark World. They were two level five monsters, and they wouldn't be easy to beat. Chazz hesitated, but hassleberry didn't.

"It doesn't matter what world I'm in," Hassleberry declared, "I'll always fight fair!"

"Yes," Goldd said, "But we also have our own condition. We need to take you back to the fortress, alive." They brought out their blades and knocked the four of them unconscious.

As Siliva started to gather them up to take back, Goldd stopped him. He reminded Siliva that they needed to take back five kids, not four. One of them was missing. Siliva said that they'd take these four back and they'd look for the last one later. Goldd nodded and they headed back to the fortress.

Syrus had gotten lost on his Sonic Duck. He didn't know where they were at.

"Help!" He screamed repeatedly, but no one came to help him. His face dropped as he realized no one was going to help him.

When his Sonic Duck jumped over an abyss, he clung to its scarf desperately. He screamed as it jumped over the abyss until it landed on the other side. After his Sonic Duck landed, it started running to someplace that Syrus didn't know.

Jaden and Jeann had reached the fortress by now, and they were starting to walk across the draw bridge when Axel and Jim stopped them, with Blaire, Jenny and Jenna following close behind.

"Wait Jaden!" Jim called, "No one has returned yet, don't you think we should go make sure nothing has happened to them?" Jaden dropped his head and looked down at the ground, and didn't take that long to think of an answer.

He asked for them to go find the others. This surprised Jim and the others, but they agreed. Jim made Jaden promise that he wouldn't go on without them though. Jaden nodded, agreeing that he wouldn't go ahead without them.

After Jim, Blaire, Jenny, Jenna, and Axel disappeared from sight, Jaden turned towards the fortress entrance. He walked across the bridge and into the fortress.

"Sorry guys," He said quietly with a sad look on his face, "There's no delay for saving Jesse. If I stop here, I might not be able to save Jesse." Jeanna ran after him and followed him into the fortress. She wasn't going to let Jaden do anything that might hurt him.

As they walked into the fortress, it was completely dark. All of a sudden, a fire was lit up across the fortress. As Jaden and Jeanna walked closer, they saw a figure on the throne.

"I'm Brron, the ruler of the dark World," Brron said, standing up from his throne. Jeanna snorted.

"Right," She said, "Until Ilyana chases you off of the throne. It's happened to all the other rulers, so you aren't an exception." Brron ignored her remark.

Jaden declared his name bravely, and said that Freed's friends and Jesse must surely be here.

"It may be possible," Brron replied to Jaden, "Many humans from different worlds are gathered here. Now, look at the sand beneath your feet. This sand absorbs many humans that were here. People who escape are punished for their crime. They fall prey to monsters for their enjoyment." Jaden seemed shocked.

'Is it possible that Jesse has?' Jaden thought to himself. He shook his head firmly. 'No. Jesse wouldn't go down that easy.'

"If you want to know whether your friends have fallen prey," Brron said, "You have to duel me." Brron then broke the chains holding him down, and activated his duel disk. Jeanna turned to Jaden.

"Let me duel him, Jade," She told her friend. Jaden shook his head firmly.

"No," He said, "I'll duel him." Jaden activated his duel disk to prove his point.

"Duel!" they shouted, and they duel began.

Jaden LP: 4000

Brron LP: 4000

Brron went first. He summoned Broww, Huntsman of the Dark World (ATK: 1400 DEF: 800) in attack mode. He then played the Permanent Spell, Sacred Scriptures of Wickedness. Raging dark aura appeared behind Brron as a beat up book raised itself up into the air.

"Pay close attention Jaden," Brron said as he raised a white card into the air for the Sacred Scripture of Wickedness. Tears started slipping down Jeanna's cheeks as she realized what Brron was doing.

'He's activating that card,' Jeanna thought to herself sadly, 'meaning he has sacrifices. And with Jaden, they could only be-' Her thought went unfinished as the surrounding area started to shake. Up, on one of the platforms, were Alexis, Atticus, Chazz, and Hassleberry, all shackled to keep them there.

'Those are his sacrifices,' Jeanna thought, tears flowing freely down her cheeks, 'He can't think that Jaden might possibly be-'

Face the facts JeannaKaitlyn said, appearing next to her sister, It's obvious to almost everybody in the Dark World. You just don't want to admit it. You don't want to admit that Jaden's Haou. Face the facts, he is. Face the facts. After that, Kaitlyn disappeared again.

'No,' Jeanna thought, looking at Jaden, 'He can't be Haou- Or is he?' Jeanna shook her head, letting her tears drop to the ground.

"I don't understand what this means!" Jaden said, "What do you mean to do with my friends!"

"You'll know the answer soon." Brron said, "I end my turn."

"I'll save you guys," Jaden said to his friends, and started his turn.

"I summon Elemental Hero Sparkman (ATK: 1600 DEF: 1400) in attack mode!" Jaden said, "Now, Sparkman, attack his Broww, Huntsman of the Dark World!"

Jaden LP: 4000

Brron LP: 3800

When Broww was destroyed, it activated his special effect. When Broww is destroyed in battle, Brron was able to take the card, Wicked Doctrine – Rage, from his deck and add it to his hand. While that was happening, Chazz was regaining consciousness.

As he tried getting up, he saw his wrists locked by shackles. As he noticed Hassleberry, Alexis, and Atticus unconscious next to him, he realized that this must've been done by Goldd and Siliva. When Chazz regained consciousness, it made Jaden a little happy.

Jaden called up to Chazz, asking if he was alright. He also said that he was going to be helping him soon. However, when Chazz saw Jaden in the middle of a duel, it made Chazz even angrier than before. He couldn't contain himself any longer; He started yelling at Jaden.

"You idiot!" Chazz yelled at Jaden, "We came here together to save Jesse! You've been acting on your own! You haven't cared about us since we came here!" By this point, Atticus, Alexis, and Hassleberry had regained consciousness.

"This isn't what you think," Jaden tried to tell Chazz, but he wouldn't listen.

"You've already showed what I thought!" Chazz spat at Jaden, "You only think of yourself! People are fools if they think you are their friend!" These words seemed to break down their friendship completely. And this also seemed to satisfy the little rage emblem that was on Chazz's neck. The text left Chazz's neck, in the shape of a ball, and moved down to the Sacred Scripture of Wickedness.

Chazz's body though, burst into particles of light, as Chazz disappeared. The Ojama's had appeared by Chazz, but it seemed that one of them managed to avoid bursting into light. The other two, and Chazz, were imprinted onto one of the pages of the Sacred Scripture of Wickedness. Tears were still falling from Jeanna's eyes even though she didn't make a sound.

Did this mean that would happen to the other three? Jaden sure hoped not. But, Jeanna thought otherwise.
