Hey! Ready for Jaden to regain her powers yet? I am!
Disclaimer: Mage of Hope doesn't own Yu-Gi-Oh series, only the OCs!
"JADEN!"
"Where are you, Sarge?!"
"Your soon-to-be-boyfriend's looking for you!" both Hassleberry and Syrus exclaimed as they continued roaming around the Slifer Red Dorms, trying to track down Jaden.
Upon hearing that from one another, both males glared at each other with so much intensity, it might as well rip the fabric of space and time. That declaration also sparked their intensity and motivated them to search even harder for Jaden.
"Tell him it's me, Jay!" shouted Syrus, trying to search under the staircase.
Sliding the slide door open with more force than necessary, Hassleberry checked the dining hall. "Yeah! Let half-pink here know that I'm your #1! Specifically your soon-to-be boyfriend!"
"Jaden! You're the kindest person I know! You always know when to trust people and put your faith into them!" called out Syrus, checking the other side of the dorm. "So, remember all the good times we had and pick me! Like...like the time with the Shadow R-No wait, that was actually bad! Never mind!"
Alexis sighed, unable to understand the minds of men and their own possession and definition of love. Why must it come down to this?
First, Jaden gets defeated by Aster, which somehow affected her psyche and caused her not to duel anymore. Then, she mysteriously disappears and hasn't been seen in a while! This troubled her friends greatly, who started searching around campus in order to look for her, but unfortunately for them, Duel Academy island was HUGE.
While Jaden was away, Hassleberry and Syrus somewhat managed to form an intense rivalry with each other, not just with dueling, but also for Jaden's heart as well. Syrus appeared to be getting more bolder and braver each day as he grew stronger, thus getting him match-to-match with Hassleberry, whose admiration for Jaden grew to the point where he truly did have a crush on her.
"Jaden's my soon-to-be girlfriend, got it, twerp?!" shouted Hassleberry. "I'm stronger, faster, and ten times more braver than you'll ever be!"
"Not true! She's going to be my girlfriend!" argued back Syrus. "Besides, who's known her longer? Last I checked, you've only known her for a few months, while I was her best friend for a year! Well, boyfriend later when we find her! Try and counter that, rookie!"
"Gaaaah!"
As much as he hated to admit it, which he won't out loud, Syrus was right. It was a given fact that Syrus and Jaden do spend time with each other, especially since they met last year! He couldn't win against that sort of info, no matter what! Still, like his father said, one can win the battle, but not the war, and Hassleberry was damn sure he was going to win the war!
"Grrr...! I'm gonna kill ya, shorty!" growled Hassleberry. Syrus took that as a challenge and growled back at him, and the two prepared for an all-out brawl.
At least, that would have happened if it weren't for Alexis' intervention. "That's enough, you two! You're acting like babies!"
The two boys grew silent until Syrus spoke up. "He started it."
"You lying little-! No, I didn't!"
Once again, Alexis sighed in exhaustion. Honestly, it was like taking care of two kids! "Be serious! Have you guys even checked carefully?" By that, she was referring to other places and not under rocks or cardboard boxes, which were exactly where Hassleberry and Syrus were searching at.
"Hahahaha! It's a waste searching for that stupid idiot!" announced Chazz, standing atop of the Slifer Red dorm rooftop proudly. "The morning of revolution will come soon! The world will be embraced by clear light! Why continue looking for that fool? She simply didn't see the light! The Society of Light!"
Speaking of which, Chazz has been acting strangely amongst the many changes to the island. Now he was babbling on and on about the Society of Light as well as other philosophical things the others could care less about. Plus his entire wardrobe's changed, as he was now garbed in white instead of his usual black garb.
"Hey, do you know where Jaden is?" asked Hassleberry.
"Who knows? Who cares!" replied Chazz. "Even if she did leave the island, she's probably lost at sea by now! AHAHAHAHAHAH-AAAHHHH!" While laughing maniacally, Chazz made a misstep and almost fell off the rooftop, thus clinging onto the edge and struggling to get back up.
'Idiot,' everyone else thought, sweatdropping as they hard Chazz's cries for help before proceeding to help him down.
Meanwhile, with Sartorius...
Shuffling around his tarot cards in a huge pile with his hands, Sartorius tried to find an answer by using his psychic, fortune-telling abilities. He's been curious for Jaden for a while, even though she should be of no more use to him now that Aster's accomplished his task in defeating her and disabling her ability to speak to Duel Spirits.
Even so, Sartorius assumed he should be cautious because Jaden represents The Fool Arcana, meaning she's a wild card, and wild cards are always hard to predict. Essentially, that means that The Fools are always, or at the very least one of, the most dangerous Arcanas to be wary of.
'How could Jaden's soul eluded me? Only the cards can explain it,' thought Sartorius before one of the cards slipped from his grasp and landed on the ground facedown. 'This one landed...diagonally.'
Picking up the card, Sartorius flipped it over to reveal The Reaper of Souls card. 'When upside-down, it stands for rebirth. When upright, it signifies for destruction. But it landed in neither direction, so what does it mean? In any case, nobody can escape destiny.'
In the middle of the sea...
"I'm soooo hungry!" whined Jaden, staring at her own reflection at the water with a bored and tired expression. Ever since she ran out of gas for the boat, she's been contemplating nonstop and wondering what she should do.
Ever since losing to Aster, she's lost all ability to see Duel Monsters, like her cards which have somewhat turned white, and the fact that she can't even speak to her Duel Spirits. She missed hearing the voices of Winged Kuriboh, Flame Wingman, all her other cute Monsters and Elemental Heroes, and other Monsters! Hell, she'll even vote for hearing the Ojama Brothers!
A shine in the night sky caught her eye as a shooting star flew across amongst the stars above, brightening up her attitude a little. Shooting stars...she never really believed much in them because of childish things, which is ironic considering she's pretty childish herself, but she wanted to hope in any wish.
Had she still been cheerful and more into the mood, she would have wished for a lot of things. For example, she could wish for an endless amount of wishes, which is kinda cheating the system. Then, she could use her first wish to get some food, specifically fried shrimp. Then, whenever Chazz was mean to her, she could counterattack with her own mean way by...turning him into a stuffed plushie or something! Oh, and she could wish for more cute stuffed animals. Yeah, those were nice.
Suddenly, the shooting star was growing closer and appearing more like a red comet...heading straight for her!
"Oh, shit!" she shouted, rushing towards the front of the boat, only to remember it was out of gas. "Oh, come on! Not no-!"
Then the comet crashed on her and everyone died. The End!
Actually, the comet-like shooting star did crash, but not on Jaden. It only hit the sea in a close range near Jaden, causing large waves to engulf Jaden into the ocean water. Within underwater, Jaden felt her movements and thought process were getting close. Her eyes fluttered before her consciousness went dark, hearing various voices and seeing lots of her Duel Monsters and duels beforehand.
When Jaden finally woke up, she found herself lying on something soft but somewhat prickly...which happened to be sand. Hearing the soft waves crashing against each other nearby, Jaden sat up and found herself in a beach of sorts.
"Ugh...Where am I...? Did I somehow manage to make it back to Duel Acad-EH?!" Turning her head, Jaden was shocked to see a huge planet very close to her. Well, not literally close, as it was still in mid-air, but way closer and less far away than in the galaxy where it belongs!
"No way...is that Jupiter?!" she exclaimed. "How?! No wait, yeah! I have to be dreaming all this! Yeah! It's the only explanation! And in order to prove it, I have to pinch myself!" Doing so, she winched at the pain. "Ow! Okay, not a dream. Hmm..."
Last she recalled, she remembered that her boat was shot by a shooting star and everything exploded. Well, she fell into the water too, so did that mean that she died by drowning? After all, there's no such island that had Jupiter nearby, so this must be the aftermath!
"...NOOOO!" cried out Jaden, tossing and turning in the sand as she gave out a childish tantrum. "I had so much stuff to do! Like, buying new stuffed plushies! And eating more fried shrimp! How could I die so young?!"
"Er, this isn't the afterlife, you know."
"Huh?" Getting up, Jaden examined around her surroundings to see if anyone was around, judging from the voice from earlier. However, it was just her and the cute, squeaky dolphins around. "Huh...Could have sworn I heard someone."
"You did. I'm at the water."
Being more clear on where the voice was coming from, Jaden spotted all but one dolphin swimming around and playing with one another. This particular dolphin was staring back at her, causing Jaden to step closer.
"You? You can talk?" asked Jaden cautiously. "I guess I did drown...Oh wait! Am I in Heaven?! Does that mean all animals here can talk?! Sweetness!"
"No, not quite," corrected the talking dolphin. "This is Neo Space on the Jupiter orbit. Jaden Yuki, you're a welcomed guest here, so you have nothing to fear."
With that said, the dolphin sprung out of the water and into land, and to Jaden's surprise, this dolphin wasn't any ordinary dolphin, as he was a bit lean and muscular as well as having legs.
"Whoa! A dolphin with legs! You look like...like...an awesome superhero dolphin-thingie!" gasped Jaden excitedly. "Are ya?! Are ya?! Are ya?! ARE YA?!"
Awkwardly, the dolphin tried to correct her. "Er...I suppose in a way. But, let me introduce myself. I'm the inhabitant on Planet Dolphin, this Neo Space. I'm also what you may call a super-evolved Neo-Spacian Aqua Dolphin. You may call me Aquos."
"Whoa...I've just been told the space dolphin superhero's secret identity!" Jaden awed. "Who knew the afterlife would rule?"
"Once again, this is not the afterlife. For now, please listen to me as I tell you why you are here."
Jaden nodded. "Sure, okay!"
Aquos nodded. "Jaden, the universe is in danger. There must always be a balance within everything. Earth and Air. Light and Darkness. One cannot exist without the other! The source of all the fighting comes from the opposition of light and darkness. The space is the soft world of darkness where life is fostered. But it's at the edge of destruction because of the threat from the light of destruction. We're seeking for people possessing the right strength of darkness to fight the light. Now that the balance has tipped, we need you, one of the chosen!"
"Wait, I'm confused..." said Jaden. "In all the comic books and video games I've played, the light side is always the good guys, while the darkness is always bad. Wouldn't it be better if darkness was gone? And light can be destructive?"
"Not exactly. Like I said, there must always be a balance or everything goes to chaos. Light cannot survive without darkness, and darkness cannot survive without light. One side can defeat the other side, but never truly destroy it, only render it useless temporarily. And yes, usually light is for the pure and good, but this is a completely different matter. Our enemy is the light of destruction, and the ones who can balance that light is the good side of darkness. In a way, light has both good and bad sides, just as darkness has good and bad sides as well."
"So...like a supervillain using the power of light, and a superhero can use the power of darkness for good?!" asked Jaden.
"Yes, something like that. Jaden, there's an organization called the Society of Light, and these humans are destroying the darkness, thus destroying the balance. Your last duel also comes from a part of the opposition of light and darkness."
"Really? I didn't know that," replied Jaden. "After my duel with Aster Phoenix, my brain seemed to be wiped clean. Now, I have no idea why I duel all the time."
Alarmed by the bright light emitting from an incoming UFO which appeared out of nowhere, the other dolphins squeaked in fear before diving underwater for safety.
"Oh, looks like they found us," spoke Aquos, standing up.
"Who?" wondered Jaden.
"The Society of Light. Or rather, the henchman of the Society of Light. They must have sensed your power, Jaden. If we can't protect our Neo Space from them, well...it'll be bad. Jaden, you must lend me your strength!"
"Me?" Jaden pointed to herself. "But I don't have a ray gun or anything like that!"
"We don't need those kinds of weapons to defeat them. It's the Duel Monsters that are needed."
"Duel...Monsters?"
Hearing the UFO land, Aquos and Jaden watched as a Duel Robot emerged from underneath the UFO, bathed in its light as it turned its attention onto the two of them.
"Now's the time for your next duel!" Aquos encouraged, pushing Jaden forward from behind. "Show me your strength as a duelist!"
"Wait, wait, wait!" cried out Jaden as she was being shoved forward against her will. "I don't even have my deck! Besides, even if I did have them, I can't see them!"
"Deck? Your deck has landed here from the space with you just now. Here, have a look." Aquos pointed to a small satellite device halfway buried in sand, prompting Jaden to check it out.
Jaden noticed the logo on the device was dusty and old, but she paid more attention to the capsule hidden within the device. Opening up the capsule, she saw a new deck of cards inside, almost as if it had been waiting for her.
"Jaden, remember that true strength isn't about winning," advised Aquos. "It's about getting back up when you fall down."
"I know! Yugi Motou said that before!" replied Jaden. "But still...why me?"
"Jaden, saving the space means saving the earth! Jaden, I heard that you had lots of fun dueling, but something serious must have happened that caused you to be who you are now. Perhaps this may be your chance to start all over."
Nodding, Jaden approached the Duel Robot until she was sure that they were at a fair distance from each other. "Alright! Space Hero Rookie Jaden is back and ready to get her game on-whoa!" As if hearing her wishes, a duel disk appeared on her waist, operational and ready to be of use. "How?!"
"It's simple! Part of your power grants you what you absolutely need in a situation like this!" replied Aquos. "Anyone with the power of Duel Spirits can use this ability!"
"Grant me anything I want...?" gasped Jaden before turning to the Duel Robot. "Then, I wish for fried shrimp! Ooh! And lots of cute stuffed animals! Oh! And a million more wishes! And make that robot go boom-boom!"
Nothing happened.
"Jaden, I don't believe that's how your power works, although that last request would have been helpful," sighed Aquos.
Sensing a duel about to commence, the Duel Robot spoke up at last. "Humanoid opponent detected. Identified as Jaden Yuki. Duel."
"Alright, my wishes didn't really work, but my wish for a duel is about to come true!" said Jaden. "Get your game on!"
- DUEL -
Jaden - 4000 LP
VS
Duel Robot - 4000 LP
Glancing at her cards, Jaden thought that perhaps a new deck might change her view, but she was still seeing the same old, white cards as before. Worried, she glanced over to Aquos, who only gave her a nod of encouragement to try her best.
Since she got this far, she might as well. "My turn, draw!" Like before, all she could see was a blank card. However, much to her shock, the card materialized from a cartoonish drawing to an actual Duel Monsters card. "The card...I can see it...I can see it! But wait, this card seems famil-Oh! Timeout! Could you wait for a minute, please?"
Turning around, Jaden rushed back to the satellite device from before, kneeling down to wipe the dust off the logo. "Kaiba...Corporation? Whoa, this is a Kaiba Corp satellite!"
Flashback...
"Attention all duelists!" announced Kaiba, standing out of the huge Kaiba Corp helicopter that was high in the air as he held onto the railings of the helicopter, bringing the attention of the civilians in the city towards him. "My company will be hosting a global competition for any and all who wish to design new cards! Winners will be hand-picked by me. Then, your card will be launched into space in a time capsule, where it'll be proven that if there's intelligent life-forms out there, they'll learn how to duel!"
"Awesome! I'm so gonna enter!" said a small child version of Jaden.
Pointing his finger high in the sky quite dangerously, Kaiba continued his announcement. "Don't forget to register and enter in your designed cards, because exactly one month from to-AAAH! MY FINGER! IT CAME CLEAN OFF! SOMEBODY CALL AN AMBULENCE! Mokuba, can't you fly this helicopter properly? I thought you got your helicopter license!"
"Sorry, bro!"
It was such a long time ago that Jaden had forgotten all about it, but she remembered that she did design a bunch of cards before mailing them to Kaiba Corp. Judging from how she recognized the cards, she must have been the winner of the contest.
Not only was she thrilled to learn she was the winner, but now, the blank cards were vanishing and allowed her to see the cards for themselves!
As if reading her mind, Aquos said, "Yes, the cards that you have designed then have received the space wave from us and become new Duel Monsters. By the way, you may want to hurry back to the duel. I don't know much about robots, but I'm pretty sure I don't want to get the receiving end of a Duel Robot's wrath."
"BATTLE MUST COMMENCE! BATTLE MUST COMMENCE! LIGHT MUST CONSUME ALL MATTER!" shouted the Duel Robot, growing more impatient and enraged, judging from the dangerous electricity wildly spreading from its robotic body.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting!" apologized Jaden. "I summon Chrysalis Dolphin in Defense Mode!"
Chrysalis Dolphin - (WATER/Fish) - LV2 - (400/600)
"EEEEEEEKKKK!" Aquos winched and covered his ears as Jaden couldn't help but rush over and hug Chrysalis Dolphin. "SHE'S SO CUTE! I CAN'T BELIEVE I DESIGNED SUCH A CUTE MONSTER! SQUEEEEEE!~"
"Humans sure are loud!" complained Aquos. "Are all human females like this?"
"Not really," said Jaden, backing away once she got her dose of cuteness contained. "Now, back to the duel! I end my turn!"
"I draw," spoke the Duel Robot automatically. "I discard two cards from my hand to the Graveyard to Special Summon a Level 12 LIGHT Attribute Monster, Candelato, the Beast of Light."
Candelato, the Beast of Light - (LIGHT/Beast) - LV12 - (0/0)
"A Level 12 Monster with 0 Attack and Defense Points...that must mean he's got some sort of powerful effect!" said Jaden, having shared some of her harsh experiences in underestimating enemies during previous duels.
"Each card in my hand will result in an increase of 1000 Points in Attack and Defense for Candelato, the Beast of Light. I have 3 cards in my hand, so that is to say that he now has 3000 Attack and Defense Points."
Candelato, the Beast of Light - (LIGHT/Beast) - LV12 - (3000/3000)
"However, on the turn it is Special Summoned, he cannot attack. Turn end."
"My turn!" said Jaden. "I summon Dandelion in Defense Mode!"
Dandelion - (EARTH/Plant) - LV3 - (300/300)
Seeing the frightening-looking Monster as his opponent, Dandelion shivered and whimpered in fear, causing Jaden to feel sympathy for him and for Chrysalis Dolphin as well. If it weren't for this situation, she could have comforted them before proceeding to embrace them tightly with cuteness.
Another memory came across her mind as she remembered that she was proud of the designs she made, like Chrysalis Dolphin and Dandelion. She had so much fun drawing them, just as she had so much fun dueling. What happened to that? Whatever happened happened, but she was willing to change for the better and get back the excitement from which she enjoyed dueling!
"I end my turn!"
"When Candelato, the Beast of Light, is on the field, I must skip the Draw Phase."
"Wait, so as long as that guy's on the field, you can't draw a single card?" wondered Jaden.
"That is correct. I don't need new cards to guide you to the burning death."
Oh yeah, that was right. During the midst of experiencing with her cute new Monsters and dealing with the fact that she could see her cards again, Jaden somewhat forgot that the Duel Robot was out to get her.
"Candelato, attack Dandelion."
Springing into action, the two-headed Monster charged up their blasts together before their blasts merged and destroyed Dandelion.
"Dandelion's effect activates!" shouted Jaden. "When Dandelion is destroyed in battle, I get to Special Summon 2 Fluff Tokens in Defense Mode!"
Fluff Tokens - (WIND/Plant) - LV1 - (0/0) X2
"Does no compute. Does not computer. 'Fluff Tokens' not found in Monster database. Turn end."
"My turn!" Jaden said. "I play Pot of Greed, which lets me draw two more cards. Then, I activate my new Spell card, Contact! This sends all Chrysalis Monsters I control to the Graveyard, letting me Special Summon Monsters from my hand or deck that's written in the card texts of those cards! I sacrifice Chrysalis Dolphin to Special Summon Neo-Spacian Aqua Dolphin!"
Neo-Spacian Aqua Dolphin - (WATER/Warrior) - LV3 - (600/800)
"Finally, the door that links this space and Neo Space is opened! Neo Space's new heroes are born! Alright! I sacrifice my two Fluff Tokens in order to summon my new Elemental Hero! Elemental Hero Neos!"
Elemental Hero Neos - (LIGHT/Warrior) - LV7 - (2500/2000)
Jaden couldn't help herself when she saw her awesome and cool-looking new hero standing right in front of her. She was squealing and jumping up and down in excitement while crying out gibberish loudly and quickly.
"Jaden! Jaden! The duel, remember?" called out Aquos.
"Oh, right! Sorry! I just haven't been this excited in a long time!" giggled Jaden.
"Emotions are illogical. Proceed with your move," spoke the Duel Robot.
"Okay, okay! I activate Aqua Dolphin's special effect! I discard a card in my hand and choose a Monster card from my opponent's hand! If there's a Monster in my field whose Attack Points are higher than that Monster's, I destroy my opponent's Monster card and give that opponent 500 Points of Damage!"
Aquos shrieked, releasing a sonar wave which revealed the Duel Robot's hand, along with the one Monster card in his hand which happened to be Different Dimension Dragon, a Monster with 1200 Attack Points.
With the conditions met, Aquos released another sound wave from his mouth as a beam shot from the gem on Neos' chest, destroying the Monster card in the Duel Robot's possession as well as inflicting 500 Points of Damage.
Jaden - 4000 LP
Duel Robot - 3500 LP
"There's one more thing!" said Jaden. "Because you lost a card, Candelato's Attack Points decrease by 1000!"
Candelato, the Beast of Light - (LIGHT/Beast) - LV12 - (2000/2000)
"I activate Aqua Dolphin's effect again!"
Having discarded another card from her hand, this allowed Jaden to envision another Monster card in the Duel Robot's possession, a Monster card weaker than Neos. The same combo happened again; discard one card, destroy the Monster card in the opponent's hand, inflict 500 Points of Damage, and watch as Candelato grows weaker.
Jaden - 4000 LP
Duel Robot - 3000 LP
Candelato, the Beast of Light - (LIGHT/Beast) - LV12 - (1000/1000)
"And again!"
Once again activating Aquos' effect, the same combo and results were the same, leaving the Duel Robot weakened and Candelato in a state where even a Level 1 Monster could defeat him.
Jaden - 4000 LP
Duel Robot - 2500 LP
Candelato, the Beast of Light - (LIGHT/Beast) - LV12 - (0/0)
"Elemental Hero Neos, show me what you've got! Take down that weird space Monster thingy!"
Complying to her commands, Neos' fist was engulfed with power as he flew upwards and slammed down onto Candelato, destroying the Monster which sent a shockwave throughout the Duel Monster's systems.
Jaden - 4000 LP
Duel Robot - 0 LP
Winner: Jaden
"SYSTEM MALFUNCTION! SYSTEM MAL-"
BOOM! The explosion coming from the Duel Robot was the last Jaden's seen of her opponent as he malfunctioned and exploded, ending the duel once and for all.
"I won? Yay, I saved the universe!" cheered Jaden. "Wait until the others find out! Can't wait to rub it in stupid Chazzy's face!"
"Unfortunately that wasn't the real enemy," spoke Aquos. "That was but a test. I'm afraid there'll be more struggles for you."
"Awww! And I was so ready to brag about saving the universe!"
"Jaden, you haven't lose the pure heart when you contacted us as a child. After all, your arrival here was predicted eons ago, and you might be able to prevent the space destruction started by the evil light. You may be able to restore balance by defeating the Society of Light!"
Spotting some baby dolphins nearby, crying out happily to Jaden, Jaden couldn't help but coo at them. "Awww! So cute! I bet they're saying something like, 'Jaden's the best!'"
"Actually, they were saying they were going to get more fish, but that works, too."
Before Jaden could say anything, she felt her mind growing all hazy, and before she knew it, she fell down, unconscious as she drifted off to sleep.
Groggy, Jaden sat up and recalled everything that happened thus far. Was it all a dream? How long was she sleeping in the beach? She recognized the building structure of Duel Academy, so that means that she was in Duel Academy Island.
But even if it was a dream, Jaden was glad she got to experience it, because not only did it bring her back to her senses, that dream reminded her of why she loved dueling so much, and she wasn't forgetting that anytime soon.
Speaking of which, she noticed some dolphins swimming around the ocean and checked out her new deck, surprised to see Neo-Spacian Aqua Dolphin, or rather Aquos, at the top of her deck.
"Whoa...It totally wasn't a dream, then! I got to actually see alien dolphins and fight off a robot! Hmm...wonder if I could still lie to Chazz while saving the universe?"
"Oh, no you don't! I'm not letting that pass while I'm here!" told the Duel Spirit of Aquos.
"You're no fun! If you weren't a dolphin, I'd have considered that you were more of a killjoy than you kinda are now! It's a real shame that you're a dolphin because dolphins are one of the cutest animals I love!"
"I'm going to have to get used to this, don't I? Anyways, your new deck is infused with the power of Neo-Space. And as long as you have it, I shall always be with you as your ally and friend."
"Yay!"
"And to remind you to brush your hair! And get up and exercise more! But for starters, get something to eat!"
"Boo! ...No wait, what am I saying? I'm starving!"
Skit: Hero Babysitter
Being experienced with many things, many considered Elemental Hero Neos a great leader as well as someone trustworthy. In Neo Space, he and his Neo-Spacian comrades helped each other, teaming up and bonding together as well as sharing their experiences.
However, not even Neos could deal with...the excitement of a teenage human girl.
"EEEEEKKKK! OH MY GOD! A NEW HERO! A NEW HERO! A NEW HERO! I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL I INTRODUCE YOU TO MY ELEMENTAL HEROES! A NEW HERO! I SO WANNA KNOW MORE ABOUT YOU! WHAT DO YOU LIKE?! WHO'S YOUR ARCHNEMISIS?! TELL ME! TELL ME! TELL ME!"
Jaden Yuki, the chosen one possessing the power of the Gentle Darkness. At first, he thought of this Jaden Yuki as mature, kind-hearted, and having a sense of justice. Yes, she does have those qualities, a little less on the mature side, but he didn't expect her to act so...childish.
Speaking of Elemental Heroes, when he was created, he was sent off into Neo Space instead of living in Skyscraper City with the rest of his fellow Elemental Heroes. He knew that he was a part of them, but he's lived the majority of his life in Neo Space, where he could truly call it home. If Jaden's been with the Elemental Heroes her whole life, spiritually, then she might know more about them than he does.
"Jaden, may I ask something?"
"YES?!"
Okay, Jaden was way too excited for this. Neos knew that humans were different in many ways, so why did he have to be stuck with the one with the childish personality? Then again, it couldn't be helped what sort of master he'd be chosen for.
"Just...what are the Elemental Heroes like?"
"They're awesome!" exclaimed Jaden, ecstatic. "They're the coolest heroes I know! They fight crime, save people, and stop bad guys! Well, in the Duel Spirit World, at least. Flame Wingman's my favorite!"
"Oh? What's he like?"
"The leader of the Elemental Heroes! He's strong and my favorite Monster to use in a fight! His special ability's wicked! Come to think of it, once a year, they always hold this Elemental Hero leader election thing and it's coming up soon! Ooh! If you get to see Flamey and the others, could you tell them I miss them and want to cuddle Winged Kuriboh?"
Neos nodded. "Very well, I shall carry your message."
"Yay! Now tell me more about yourself!~"
Skit: Dolphin Flying Part 1
"Nooooooooo!" cried out Jaden, falling to her knees on the beach.
Aquos, concerned for his new master, asked, "What? What happened?!"
"Aquos! Neo Space is kinda like the Duel Spirit World, right?! Then, I didn't get a chance to play with any of the cute Duel Spirits there! Especially the dolphins! I always wanted to swim with the dolphins! Waaaahhh!"
Aquos sweatdropped. "Er...How about this? How about I take you dolphin swimming right after you completed your task of saving the universe?"
Jaden gasped, eyes glittering with excitement. "REALLY?! YOU PROMISE?!"
"Eh, why not? What's the worst that could happen?"
I don't really feel that good guys, which is why this chapter is so short. Sorry, but go ahead and review because now that Jaden's back in action, she's got a couple new cards to boot! The Neo-Spacians are here!
