"NDS: Book 14—: Chapter 100: Internal Struggle"

OKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOK

To tell the truth, you were right about how something would stop the wedding. But I bet you weren't expecting it exactly the way I wrote it. I mean, you just said someone would burst into the wedding. So, I just finished the first three parts of the next Book, and those three all fit in this chapter. Chapter 100! Woo-hoo! Everybody shout!

OKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKKOKOKOKOKOK

There was a silence to the room as eyes looked back and forth between the two Jets. "So…I guess that didn't hold you." The first Jet, who stood at the alter, spoke.

"Like a wooden door to an attic would stop me from getting to my own wedding!" The other Jet declared.

Sakura blinked and rubbed her eyes in disbelief. "What the heck is going on?

Adven rubbed his chin. "I noticed…that this Jet is tanner and under his gray bangs is green hair." Adven explained.

Without another word passing, the second Jet to arrive charged down the aisle in a sprint, and jumped at the first Jet who simply hit him aside and into the wall to fall to the ground. The room started to get loud as murmurs went about and some of the guests began to run out of the room. Adven quickly lunged at the one Jet with a punch, but it was easily caught. Before Adven could react he was tossed forward by the first Jet and crashed through five rows of chairs. Splintering the wood and causing wooden pieces to fall onto the brunette.

"Who are you?" Virginia wondered.

"Who am I?" The Jet beside her scoffed. "You know me already, Virginia."

"You are not Jet at all." She concluded.

"Right, I am not him. But I am someone you and the rest of your gang know."

"Who?"

"My name is unimportant, but if you so badly require it, I go by Gear."

"Gear?" Virginia wondered.

"Yes, that is the name I selected." Gear said. "It is a perfect name for what I am."

"And what are you?" The woman questioned.

"A man who has come for revenge."

"Revenge?"

"Revenge on Jet Enduro and the ones who side with him." Gear spoke. "Revenge on the ones who destroyed everything I believe in as well as my dreams."

"Gear…a man who is out for revenge?" Virginia muttered to herself.

Gear faced the alter and the priest raising his arm. "Now, to clean this hall of filth." Opening his palm a wave of energy blows the man and the alter apart. Turning around Gear focuses his hand on the guests, but a shinobi-zue blade appears before him.

"I don't know who you are, but you aren't about to ruin this day anymore than you have."

"Emilia Enduro." Gear laughed as the woman gave him a heated glare. "Try as you may, but you will probably be no challenge for me. Even though I'm sure you have become stronger, so have I."

Emilia scoffed with a grunt. "You are just another pathetic enemy from my past?" She wondered. "Those foes rarely stick around for long."

"Then I will prove otherwise."

Emilia was quick to swing her blade at Gear with much speed, but the man still moved aside anyway with much ease. It was also at that moment that Pike and Gallows went to work evacuating the guests so they were not harmed. Emilia continued her attack though, slinging about her blade with emotion. Still, Gear was a very agile man who was always half a minute ahead of her.

"Razor Kick!" The wind attack flew across the floor, but with a wave from his arm, it was destroyed and the wind attack blew apart.

"Never seen you use that one before." Gear laughed.

"Well, I've only just mad it." Was Emilia's cocky response. "Astral Punch!" With her free hand she sent the attack that Gear was quick to duck under. With no defense, Emilia was hit by three quick, hard-hitting punches. One to her chest, then her face, and then her gut. The assault placing the woman on the ground covered in the flowers that she was thrown threw by the attack.

She quickly jumped to her feet and ran at the man who looked like Jet. Gear moved his hand at incredible speed and hit the forearm that connected with the hand that held Emilia's blade. She was quick to drop it due to the hit, and was left open to an uppercut.

"You are pathetically slow." Gear commented. "I thought the 'Wind Knight' would be fast."

Emilia grit her teeth together with anger as a grunt escaped her mouth. "Gale Fist!" The swirling punch hit Gear right on the collarbone, while sending the man flying through the air and into the wall, where the hit caused fixtures on the wall to fall around him.

"Another new one." Gear stated as he rose back up as if nothing happened to him. "I wonder if you could have saved Lloyd if you had that one."

The mention of her dead lover caused Emilia's eyes to grow red with anger. "Shut up!" She bellowed.

"How could you not protect him? He must be angry that you failed him."

"How do you know all this?" She wondered.

"Long ago, when I wore another name, I hired you, but you're conscience took over. You couldn't accept the job I offered to you." Gear explained. "But that is not why I know these things."

Emilia was ready to run the Jet look-alike through with her blade. "Emilia, stop!"

"What?" She barked as she looked to Jet who stood by her now.

"Let me fight him. This is my fight." Jet explained.

"This is my fight just the same!" Emilia argued.

"No…I have a feeling this fight is mine alone." Jet insisted. He looked to Gear.

"And you would be right to think so, Jet." Gear confirmed. "We have a fight to finish."

"Do we?" Jet wondered. "I don't think we have ever met, Gear."

"Then you would be wrong." Gear mused.

"He's too strong." Emilia said. "If we fight together—"

"You're too weak." Jet told her. "Gear would run circles around you."

"Still, I should be better than you," She argued. "The man who has not been training himself."

"Emilia, I am your uncle by all rights. Do as I say." Jet had never ordered her like that before, nor use the uncle excuse. He was way too serious this time.

"I will never accept you as my uncle." She said with acid.

"So be it." Jet shrugged. "Lion's Fist!"

With wide eyes, Emilia is hit by Jet's attack and sent flying across the floor, but still gets up. "I'm not letting decide this!" She bellowed as she charged her uncle. Jet simple jumped over her, and in the process, kicked her head so she simply would fall to the red carpet.

He turned around as he landed, while Emilia stood up. "Stay out of my way, Emilia." But the woman made her way towards him. "Rage Swipe!" With a strong swing of hid left hand the woman is sent into the first few rows of chairs on the other side of where Adven was hit. As chairs broke apart and fell on Emilia's limp body, Jet looked at her softly. "Now…stay out of my way." Jet looked to his lookalike.

"So…you wish to fight me alone?" Gear wondered with curiosity.

"You know it is the only way."

"Yes. Let's begin this, one last time."

"I'm still pretty sure that this is the first time."

Wow, so there we go. The start of Book 14, and a new mystery and fight. I'm sure you would like to know the story about who and what Gear is. That will come soon enough. As a hint, I will tell you the original name of Gear. It was Densuke. Which was a play on the name of the person Jet is playing from the original, Daisuke. But there is more to it all than just similar names. I decided on Gear, because it sounded like it could be a real name that was similar to Jet. How they are similar, I don't know. The characters do look the same. They also have two more things similar about them, but that comes up next chapter and those after it.
