Me: So yea…it's been a long, long, long time that I didn't update and I am really sorry. Again I wasn't planning to, honest!

I got really sick at the beginning of the summer and ended up being hospitalized for about a week and then when I was discharge my antibiotics were not in pills but I had to have the IV and there is where I was giving the medicine with a nurse on standby. I just recently got out for another kidney removal surgery and I have some freedom as I have no stent right now but I am being under watch.

Through IV did left a scar…the nerves in my arms have been slightly damaged from the IV change after change and now I can sometimes use my hands while the other times arms feels heavy and hurt. The updates will be slow cause of this until I get back my strength in my arms…if I can get it back that is.

Anyway, shall we? To those who took their time on reading this unbeta chapter but soon will be fix and added to their faves and alerts, I thank thy.

-Dark World-

Once morning hit, Johan and Jesse were leaving with Haou's army along with the surviving southern villagers and Jaden's friends.

Jesse took a quick glance over to them and could see that they had a rough night. He looked over around before sneaking over to them. The bluenette holds onto the metal bars, "Hey, how are you guys holding up?"

"Other than having sore necks and backs, just peachy," replied Chazz, harshly.

Alexis smacked Chazz's head before looking over to the oversea student. "What's going to happen now? We still have to find Jaden, Jesse but we can't if we are prisoners to this Haou person."

Jesse sighed, "I know but you don't have to worry about Jaden. He's in the Oasis Dimension… with Haou."

Jim widened his eyes, "That means – Jesse, you have to convince your brother to let us go! Jaden could be in real danger!"

Jesse opened his mouth before closing it and looked down. "He's…no danger guys. Haou is Jaden's older brother."

Jim and the others widen their eyes in shock.

"Sam hill," murmured Hassleberry.

"Who told you that?" asked Atticus before narrowing his eyes. "What if it's a lie? We don't know for sure if they are related?"

"I do," murmured Jesse before sighing. "As you know that my brother is Haou's personal knight and…and I was…I was supposed to be Jaden's knight at the age of seven."

"Seriously?!" said Syrus.

Jesse nodded slowly, "I…I better get going but I'm going to try to get you all out of here."

Alex nodded, "Best of luck."

Jesse smiled a bit before looking over to see his brother who was talking to Chaos. The younger bluenette walked over to them with his head down.

"Make sure you have everything packed," said Johan before narrowing his eyes. "I don't want to know that we have to return back here."

Chaos nodded and bowed to Johan before leaving.

"Moron," murmured Johan before looking over at Jesse. "You're riding with me this time, understood?"

"Yes brother," replied Jesse, softly.

Johan sighed before taking his younger brother to his trusted Advance Pegasus and placed him in the front. He climbed on before looking over at the army, "We're heading out! We will be going to the Dimension door that is west from here! Our resting destination is at Odin River, understood?"

The army nodded.

Jesse was impressed by how his brother can have such leadership. Just like…their father.

The younger bluenette had a sadden look on his face before looking down at his hands. He had not thought about his biological parents since his adopted mother cared for him like he was her own son.

There were many questions going through his head.

What were their reactions about his disappearance? Did they miss him? How did they die?

Jesse bites his lower lip as the only person who can answer his questions was his brother. But would Johan be able to answer them? Would it be too painful if he did?

The younger bluenette took a deep breathe, "J-Johan?"

"What is it?"

"I…I…can you tell me about Mom and Dad?" asked Jesse, nervously.

Johan widened his eyes before sighing, "What do you want to know?"

"Everything," replied Jesse.

Johan stayed quiet for a bit before answering. "They…were devastated when they heard about Jaden and your disappearance. The King and our Father took immediate action and begin searching for the two of you. I was ordered to stay and watch over Haou and Mother…even though I wanted to be in the search as well."

Jesse felt a little warmness in his chest to know that his older brother wanted to help on the search. With the little memories he has gotten back, the younger bluenette remembers his brother was not that kind to him but he knows that Johan cares.

Just like how Haou cares for Jaden.

"Haou…he tried to find ways to help on the search but the Queen and Mother would make sure we didn't leave the castle besides our lessons."

Johan stopped for a moment before taking a deep breathe. "But I know that both of them wanted to be in the search as well. Mother would end up crying nights after nights and holding onto a picture of you before falling asleep. The same goes with the Queen…both of them died after a month or so of your disappearance."

A tear came down from Jesse's cheek. "So it's my fault that Mom died…"

Johan glared over at Jesse, "Don't you dare think about that, you hear me?!"

Jesse just looked down and was crying, silently. Images of a pale skin woman with long bright blue hair and emerald eyes flashed through his mind.

"Come on my little sapphire, come to Mama."

"Does my little sapphire want to have a play date with the young Prince?"

"Johan, be kind to your brother! He's still just a baby!"

Johan sighs before awkwardly placed his head on top his little brother's head. "…you're…just like her, you know," stated Johan, softly. He smirked a bit, "I took most of Father's personality while you took Mother's…both personality and gentle side."

Jesse stayed silent.

"The same goes with Haou and Jaden," said Johan before smiling a bit. "It was no wonder that Mother and the Queen were best friends. Both of them were kind and caring while the King and Father were a bit harsh but they did care for the people in our dimension."

"…Dad…how did he die?" asked Jesse, softly and quietly.

Johan sighed, "There was an attack from the Light and his blasted followers. The King and Father…they were able to fight them off but received severe injuries that cost them their lives."

Jesse gasped a bit before staying silent.

Johan frowned as he hates to see his younger brother in such a state. He may think of him as an annoying and stubborn brat but he still cares for him.

"Mother and Father will be glad to know that you are alive and well. I vowed on their death beds that I would find you and will look after you once I did…and I will keep that promise, no matter what."

Jesse grabbed hold onto his brother's hand, "…Thank you."

Johan nodded before continuing onward to their destination.

The older bluenette remembers that their father would take the both of them to Odin River to have a little bonding time. Most of the time, they would go out to fish or take a break from their duties or lessons.

Johan shook off his thoughts when he spotted the river. It wasn't far from where he was but he had to wait for the army as they were traveling by foot and horses.

The army took about an hour to reach Odin River where they started to unpack to make lunch for everyone.

Johan instructed Jesse to stay with Advance Pegasus while he was going to do a double check on the surviving villagers. The older bluenette walked over by Chaos as he let out the villagers.

There were at least eight children, two adults with few bruises and one duel spirit named Claret. The duel spirit was standing in front of the children as if she was trying to protect them.

Not too far from them were Jesse's human friends and one of them has a crocodile beside him.

Johan sighed as he could deal with them back at the castle before walking over to Claret. She was glaring at him but he could see she was shaking in fear.

"Where…Where are you taking us?" asked Claret, nervously. "Why haven't you killed us yet?"

Instead of answering, Johan turned over to Chaos. "Make sure there is plenty of food and have Hysteric Fairy check on them."

"Of course, my Lord," said Chaos as he bowed. "Is there anything else?"

Johan shook his head before leaving. He'll deal telling them the truth later but right now he was slightly hungry. The older bluenette spotted his younger brother petting his dark winged beast next to his tent.

"If you want to talk to your friends, go ahead," said Johan. "I believe they are eating by the lake but are under watch so they wouldn't escape."

Jesse sighed, "I prefer if you could just release them, brother."

"If only I could," murmured Johan before seeing a cook assistant leave the tent.

She bowed to Johan, "Your food is inside my Lord. I hope is under your liking."

Johan nodded and enter the tent. He felt that his little brother was following him before spotting the food tray that had beef and vegetable stew.

Jesse widened his eyes, "No way! It's been awhile I have not eaten this!"

"What you mean?" asked Johan as he took a seat.

Jesse sat right across from him, "My adopted Mother would make this when I was little! It was my favorite during winter!"

Johan smirked, "You don't say. It shouldn't surprise me since this is what you would eat."

Jesse smiled, sheepishly, "Well it was no wonder why I only eat this and fried shrimp."

Johan sighed, annoyingly, "You were introduced with the fried shrimp by Jaden. We just came back from a trip with our Father when Jaden came running towards us with a bowl of it."

Jesse thought for a moment before smiling upon the small memory.

Johan stir his spoon, "So…tell me, what else you did in that human dimension?"

"N-Nothing much really," replied Jesse, quickly. He had a slightly blush on his face, "I lived in an orphanage before getting adopted by a woman named Evangeline Anderson. She was kind and caring…her parents were somewhat strict but they were great Grandparents before they died when I was ten."

"I see," murmured Johan. "What about school?"

"I-I was homeschooled for a while," replied Jesse. "Then I attended to a public school. I…didn't make much friends so I was a bit lonely for a time until I was introduce to Duel Monsters."

Johan frowned a bit and in some way wanted to hunt down those low life bastards but kept quiet. He wanted to know what his brother did for the past ten years.

"It was there that I found out that I could see Duel spirits," said Jesse, happily before frowning. "But I kept it a secret to almost everyone minus my adopted Mother. She believed in me that I could see them while some of the kids thought I was making it up."

"So in the human dimension, Duel Monsters are just spirits," said Johan.

Jesse nodded, "There is no real danger when we duel and it's mostly all about having fun. I enjoy watching the spirits appear right next to their partners when there is a duel going on."

"Now there is a place to just relax. No fighting what so ever," murmured Johan,

Jesse rubbed his head, sheepishly, "I-I guess you can say that."

Johan looked sharply over to his brother, "Care to explain."

Jesse looked down, "Well…um you see…um from what I heard, during in Jaden's first year in Duel Academy, he had beaten the Scared Beast cards and in his second year…well…"

'Scared Beast cards…so that's where those blasted beasts went to. I need to inform Haou about this when I return,' thought Johan before frowning. "What happened in Jaden's second year?"

Jesse bite his lip before looking down, "…he…he had to face a soul fragment of the Light."

Johan widened his eyes before slamming his hands onto the table. "What did you say?!"

Jesse flinched, "I – I…"

"Jesse, tell me this instant," said Johan, darkly.

"…I – I…Jaden told me in his second year, there was this guy, Sartorius was being controlled from the Light of Destruction. He wanted to make everyone on Earth to see the light," said Jesse, nervously. "Jaden duel Aster who hired Sartorius as his manager and…lost."

Johan had a shock look on his face.

"Jaden told me after the duel, he couldn't see his cards…everything was all blank to him. He ran away from Duel Academy where he soon met the Neo-Spacian cards. They brought Jaden back to the academy where he refaced Aster and this time he won."

"So he regained back his dueling spirit then," murmured Johan.

Jesse nodded, "But it was far from over brother."

It took about an hour for Jesse to tell his older brother about Jaden's trouble and where he had to duel Sartorius at the end and won.

"Jaden was able to bring back the real Sartorius while one of our friends, Chazz helped to bring back the brainwashed students from the light's hold," finished Jesse.

Johan sat at his seat for a while before sighing heavily. He placed his hands over his head, "Haou is not going to like this, what so ever."

"I…I figured as much," said Jesse, softly. "Do…Do you have to tell Haou about this?"

Johan frowned, "…I have to. Let's just hope that Haou can keep his emotions under control."

Jesse sighed before the two brothers finished up their food.

Johan went to find Chaos while Jesse went to find his friends. Just like Johan said, Jesse found them by the lake's edge but was being watched by some of Haou's soldiers. He was able to walk pass them before taking a sit by Jim.

"So thought of any plans yet?" whispered Jim, softly while stroking Shirley.

Jesse shook his head, "Sorry guys. I have seen my brother's layout of the campsite and has every possible escapes blocked."

"We're doomed!" said Syrus, dramatically. He grabbed onto Hassleberry, "I don't want to die so young! What are we going to do?!"

"Quiet Syrus," said Alexis as she covered the small brunette. She turned her head to see if the guards heard them, they didn't.

"So now what?" asked Atticus. He looked around, "I highly doubt that we would be able to out run them when we reached to the next dimension."

"And if we manage to go to the right dimension, how do we sneak into Haou's castle and find Jaden?" said Alex.

"Man, this stinks," murmured Chazz. "Damn it Jaden! Why did you have to be kidnapped?"

"I think it was a good thing that he was," said Jim.

"What do you mean?" asked Alexis, angrily.

Jim sighed, "If Haou is able to control those dimension doors then that would mean he could have traveled to our world as well."

"I see," said Alex. "He could have attacked our dimension until he found Jaden."

"Not just Jaden," murmured Jesse before sighing. "My brother was looking for me as well. My brother told me that once they did find us, they were going to lock up the dimension doors…permanently."

Everyone gasped.

-Break Line-

Well Johan knows about Jaden's little adventure with the soul fragment of the Light but would Haou think about it? And will he really lock up the doors permanently? And what of Yubel? Is she buying her time or something?

Wait and see in the next update (hopefully soon), Ciao everyone!
