-Dark World Dimension, Haou's stronghold-
Haou was looking outside on his balcony while Johan was leaning onto the wall with his eyes closed.
The two were about to head over to the western village as Haou's army was already waiting for them. The troops were able to weaken the front defense before surrounding the village and making sure that no one would escape from there.
But Haou's mind wasn't really on the incoming battle, but rather on his little brother. He wished that he could have stay behind to watch over him, but he couldn't as he was needed here.
'Maybe I can return when this battle is over and Johan can take over of the southern village,' thought Haou.
His thoughts were interrupted by some rather loud shouting that was heading towards his office. Haou looked over at Johan who merely shrugged in reply.
That's when Sky Scout came inside the room with a boy over his shoulders before tossing him onto the ground.
"Oi, what was that for?!"
Sky Scout ignored him as he bowed to Haou. "My king, I have brought the boy that could be young Lord Jesse."
Haou narrowed his golden eyes while Johan stared down at the young bluenette.
"Hey, how did you know my name?" asked Jesse before turning over his head and gasped. "J-Jaden?! Is that you?! And – And why does that guy look like me?!"
Haou frowned while Johan smirked.
"Good work Sky, continue with your patrol," said Haou.
Sky Scout bowed once again, "Before I leave my Lord, you should know that a few humans were accompanying this boy. What should I do with them?"
"If they don't cause me problems then leave them be," said Haou, coldly.
Sky Scout nodded before leaving the three alone.
Jesse had a confused look on his face before getting up from the ground and looking over at Haou. "Hey Jaden, what's going on here? Why are they calling you 'king'? I thought that this Haou guy was their king or something. And what is the deal with that guy next to you?"
Johan couldn't hold it anymore and led out a huge laughter.
"Dear little brother, you are still the same annoying but curious little boy I have known….good to finally have you back."
Jesse blinked his eyes a bit before having a shock look on his face.
"W-What?!"
"Johan, take your brother to the healer here and see if she can unlock his missing memories," said Haou before grabbing his helmet. "Meet me at the stables once you are done."
Johan smirked, "Come on little brother; let's visit Hysteric Fairy to see what she can do with that amnesia of yours."
Jesse didn't have a chance to say anything when the older bluenette picked him up and tossed him over his shoulder. "Oi, I'm not a bag to be tossed around!" snapped Jesse before trying to break free. "A – And let me go! Let me go!"
Haou stared at Jesse before smirking. "Still loud as ever I see…I will see you soon, Johan."
Johan nodded as he watched Haou leave before he went the other way around the hallway. The whole time, Jesse tried to break free but no luck.
They arrived to a double door and inside was a few dark attributes duel monsters and fairy types around. Johan simply ignored them and walked up to a private room and tossed Jesse onto the bed.
"Oi, what did I say about the tossing business?!" shouted Jesse.
Johan gave him a look before a woman with blue hair with a halo on top and wearing glasses came in. She had a blue jacket and shirt, black stockings and blue shoes. She was carrying a book and had white wings on her back.
"Lord Johan, what can I do for you?" asked Hysteric Fairy.
"As you can see, my little brother has been found but he doesn't remember anything," explained Johan. "I want you to see if you can recover his missing memories."
Hysteric Fairy adjusted her glasses, "Mm. I believe I can but it will take some time, is that alright with you my Lord?"
"That's fine. Haou and I will be going after the western village that has a few followers of the Light of Destruction," said Johan. "Afterwards, within a day or two, we will be attacking the southern village."
"Very well, leave everything to me my Lord," said Hysteric Fairy.
Johan nodded his head but just as he was about to leave, Jesse stopped him.
"Oi, where do you think you are going? You haven't told me what's going on here!"
Hysteric Fairy smirked, "Even after twelve years, young Jesse is still a curious little boy."
Johan nodded before seeing Hysteric Fairy send some sleeping powder to Jesse's direction. The young bluenette's eyes dropped a bit before slumping onto the bed.
'At least Jaden won't be alone now,' thought Johan before leaving the infirmary wing.
-Oasis Dimension, Jaden's room-
Jaden sighed sadly while watching the sun go down from the sky and Winged Kuriboh was sitting on top of his head.
He was currently wearing a long black silk coat with white trimmings, a crimson cape with a dark blue clasp, black pants, and brown shoes. Apparently, this was what his brother wore when he was around 15. Nothing much changed it would seem except with gold trimmings on his new outfit.
"Kuri?"
Jaden smiled softly before petting his partner's head. "Don't get me wrong, pal. I'm happy to finally be home but…it saddens me that I wouldn't be able to see my friends again."
"Kuri…"
Winged Kuriboh rubbed his soft fur onto Jaden's cheek before purring a bit. The brunette sighed, knowing that his little friend was only trying to cheer him up as he did during the times before. But this time, it didn't work.
Jaden just grabbed the small flying fur ball and went back inside just as Aqua came in with a tray of food.
"Now I didn't know what you like, so I asked the cook to make what Haou would eat when he was young," said Aqua as she set down the tray of food. "Afterwards, I can show you around the castle so you can walk a bit as you have been in bed for the past two days."
Jaden nodded his head.
"If we have time, maybe we can ride around the castle grounds for a bit," said Aqua with a smile. "You would beg your brother to take you out on his stallion."
"I…rode a horse when I was five?" asked Jaden in disbelief.
"You were about to turn five and not really," explained Aqua. "Haou would have you sit in front of him. Johan will do the same thing with his brother. The four of you would race around the castle grounds before your brother had to go to his lessons."
"I see," said Jaden before looking at the tray of food. "Is…Is that...fried shrimp?!"
"Oh yes, Haou would eat them after his lessons," answered Aqua with a smile. "But what he enjoys the most is dark chocolate pudding."
Jaden eyes brightened.
"No way! I love fried shrimp and vanilla pudding is my favorite."
"You don't say," said Aqua before giggling. "I guess you and your older brother have some things in common."
Jaden smiled before frowning, "Will…he allow me to continue to attend Duel Academy? I only need one more year to finish."
Aqua thought for a moment, "You can try to ask, but don't have your hopes up, my prince. Your brother really wants to keep you safe."
"I understand but…I made awesome friends back at Duel Academy," said Jaden before looking down. "We went through so much already…"
Aqua smiled, "How about while we eat, you can tell me all about your friends? They sound quite loyal to you my prince."
Jaden looked up and had a huge smile on his face.
-Dark World Dimension-
"Well, it looks like luck is on our side this time mates," said Jim as he looked around. "This place is calling Dark World."
"Not to mention there were a few dark attributes roaming around here," said Axel.
"So any clues where to find Haou's army?" wondered Chazz before smacking Ojama Yellow away from his face. "I told you! Stop doing that!"
"Sorry boss, but this place creeps me out," said Yellow.
"Well, we better be careful," said Alexis as she looked over the horizon. "This place looks larger than the last dimension we were in. We could end up getting lost easily."
"Right," murmured Jim. "Come on let's go see if this place has some kind of village to restock our supplies."
Everyone nodded and stayed close to Jim and Axel.
"I just hope we can find Jaden and Jesse," said Syrus. "I'm really starting to miss them."
"You're not the only one, Private," said Hassleberry with a sigh. "But how in Sam Hill are we getting back home after finding the sarge and Jesse?"
"Bastion is slowly working on a plan with Tania," said Alexis. "That's why he stayed behind. He'll come, looking for us once he is done researching with Tania."
"…Right. Must have slipped my mind," murmured Hassleberry.
"I just hope we can find them soon," said Atticus as he looked around. "This place harbors too much darkness for my taste."
"And we will," said Jim as he turned around to them. "Though it would be best if we go ask questions about this Haou person and why he's attacking them. Once we find a village that is."
"Sounds like a plan, Jim," said Hassleberry as everyone agreed.
The group walked until they saw a stone village being attacked by a bunch of dark attributes. Jim and Atticus activated their duel disks and summoned their ace monsters to defend the villagers.
Axel and Chazz went and joined the fight on the left side, Syrus and Hassleberry went to the right side while Alexis helped out the villagers.
"Retreat!" shouted Mechanicalchaser. "All of you will fall just like the others! You hear me! The Supreme King will hear about this!"
"Okay, I'm starting to hate this Haou guy more and more," said Alexis as she helped an elderly woman stand up. "What is his motive for attacking innocent people and duel monster spirits?"
"He's a man that has no heart or emotions. Burgundy is my name, and I thank you for helping us with them. This was their second attack this week."
"Holy Sam Hill…you're tall and buff," said Hassleberry while Syrus hid behind him.
Burgundy laughed, warmly, "Come and rest up, fellow fighters. We have plenty of food to go around."
"We appreciate it. Thank you, Burgundy. The name's Jim and the crocodile behind me is Shirley."
"Axel and these are our friends Syrus, Hassleberry, Alexis, Chazz and Atticus."
Burgundy nodded his head before guiding them inside where the wounded were being treated and resting. They came to a table and took a seat.
"May I ask why all of you are out in the open? Not many would go traveling nowadays…not since the day the Supreme King started attacking his neighboring dimensions a few years back."
"So wait, you have been at war with this Haou person for years?" asked Jim in disbelief.
"That is correct young man. Hello, the name is Claret," said the duel monster spirit, Spirit of the Harp with a warm smile.
"How long?" asked Axel.
Burgundy had a grim look, "It's been like this since his Father passed away when Haou was 13 and the boy was crowned King. At first we didn't think anything of it as he was just a young boy, but we were wrong."
Claret looked down, "He came out of nowhere with his small army and began attacking the villages in different dimensions. He showed no emotions with those golden eyes of his when he burned down a village or killed someone."
"Do you know what his reason for attacking was?" asked Atticus.
Burgundy shook his head, "Not me but the three Dancing Fairies might have an idea. They were able to get near the young King and could hear him murmuring to himself, 'Where is he? Where could he be?' That was all they heard."
"He's looking for someone?" questioned Alexis.
"Just like how we are looking for our friends," said Jim.
"Who are you looking for?" wondered Claret.
"Two boys, Jaden and Jesse," replied Axel as he took out two pictures of them and show it. "Jaden was first taken and not too long ago, Jesse was taken by a winged beast named Sky Scout when we first arrived."
Burgundy and Claret looked at the pictures before widen their eyes in shock.
"Burgundy…they-they look like…"
"Yes, no doubt about it I'm afraid."
Jim narrowed his eyes, "What do you mean? Have you seen them in Haou's army?"
Burgundy shook his head, "No, not in the army but…your friends, they look just like Haou and his personal knight, Johan. The only difference is the eyes and the height but everything else…the resemblance is uncanny."
Jim and the others looked at one another in shock.
-Haou's stronghold-
"You're heading back?" asked Johan as Haou summoned his Evil Hero Infernal Prodigy.
"There's nothing more than I can do around here," replied Haou. "Report back after dealing with the Southern Village. If there are any followers of the Light of Destruction, kill them and capture those who get in your way."
Johan nodded, "Very well, I will see you soon. By then, Jesse will have his memoires."
Haou nodded before smirking, "Good luck watching your little brother once he's awake."
Johan blinked a bit before realizing what his best friend meant.
"W-Wait maybe – can you take him with you?"
For the first time in twelve years, Haou laughed before taking off with Infernal Prodigy. "Sorry Johan, but he is your responsibility, not mine!"
Johan sighed before smiling a bit. This was the first time that he had seen his best friend let out a true smile and warm laughter. That's when he made a face before slapping his forehead.
'I just hope he is not too much trouble when he wakes up…I might just have him stay in my commander room. I highly doubt he has ever seen a bloody war.'
-Break Line-
Well…what do you think of Johan and Jesse's reunion? I say it was pretty good, don't you think? A bit jumpy for Jesse's part but who can blame him, right?
Not only that but Jim and the others found out that their missing friends look just like Haou and Johan but the question is, why?
Also, Haou is returning back to his castle where the young King will finally meet Jaden after twelve years of separation. Oh wonder who their reunion is going to be?
