Chapter 3 is up guys. Enjoy.
Jason walked inside the room.
"Hello there".
Warriors stood up. Odd remained in his seat.
"Who are you?" Ulrich asked him sternly.
"Nobody important" Jason told him and raised his hands to show them that he had good intentions "Just one friend of Odd's. Call me Jason".
Others looked at him.
"You know this guy?" Yumi asked.
Odd nodded "Yeah, I know him all right".
Jason walked towards him "How are you feeling?".
"Don't act like you care" Odd told him.
Jason sighted "I guess I own you some explanation".
"There is nothing to explain, I saw what I saw. That's that".
Jason looked at him "Actually there is a lot to explain".
"Well I'm not interested in listening to you" Odd told him and stood up to walk away.
"Odd wait-" Jason tried to stop him but Odd was already out of the room.
Warriors were silent the entire time.
"Didn't you say that you two were friends?" Jeremy asked him.
"As it seems now it looks like we were friends" Jason answered with a sigh.
"He looks pretty mad at you" Aelita noticed.
"And I can't blame him for that".
"What's that supposed to mean?" Ulrich asked him.
"It's a long story" Jason said.
"We have time" Yumi told him and crossed her arms.
"Alright than. Take a seat".
He started telling the story about what happened 3 months ago.
"Tyron's man went after Odd's family and I went there to stop them but I was to late to do more. I managed to save Odd and his father but his mother and sisters were taken away. I took Odd to my safehouse so he can rest a little bit before we go after them. I trained him to use a gun so he could be able to defend himself. Few hours later we went to safe them. His sister Mia was the first one that we saved. She was okay and wasn't harmed at all. Escaping that safehouse was easier part. I even got shot during that escape" Jason said and touched his arm where bullet hit him "After that we went after others. The raid on second safehouse wasn't nearly as easy as the first one. Odd barely made it out alive. Once we arrived guards were already there and they were ready. We went in guns blazing, took out many of them. We were at the doorstep and we weren't aware of guard hiding nearby until he shot at Odd. Luckily it just scratched his cheek. I took care of that guard. When we got inside we saw that house was rigged with C4 and that we only had 15 minutes to get everyone out. Odd's mother and sisters were locked in the basement, but his youngest sister, Maya, was taken to the office by the leader of this group. Odd went after her while I took others to safety. Help arrived few moments later and I went to look out for Odd but than house exploded. His mother screamed. I won't be able to forget that scream. Scream of pure terror. Fear of losing your child. I immediately rushed to see if he survived. I called out for him and at first there was no answer. But than I heard little girl calling for me, Maya. I ran towards the source of the voice and I found them. Maya was okay. Odd wasn't so lucky. There was iron rod that went trough his side and he was losing a lot of blood. We needed to act fast if we wanted for him to survive. We pulled him off that rod and carried him. And I was so proud of Maya because even tho she was afraid she stayed focused to save her brother like there was no tomorrow. We brought him back to the others and than he passed out".
Jason paused for a moment and looked at others.
Ulrich and Jeremy were shaking their heads in disbelief. Yumi covered her mouth in terror finding it hard to belive all of that happened to their friend. Aelita was so pale and she looked like she was looking at some distant object, like she was about to pass out.
Jason got worried "Aelita are you okay?".
She looked at him "How do you know my name?".
He sighted "That can wait. Anyways, where was I?".
"You told us that Odd passed out" Jeremy said.
"Right. Odd spent few weeks at hospital to recover from his injuries. All he could do was to lay down and rest. He almost missed his own birthday because his mother and sisters went to town to do some stuff. Luckily Mia, Maya and I were there for him. That day was great one. Some time later he finally free to go and next thing you know is that two weeks later he is on his way here" Jason paused again.
"It seems like you two were getting along" Jeremy noticed "What went wrong after that?".
Jason sighted "What I'm about to tell you now might shock you and I understand if it does. Just promise me that you won't run away or do anything like that, because I promise that I'm not going to do anything. Okay?".
Others exchanged confused looks but nodded.
"Okay than. I went to the airport to say my goodbye and I was lucky to be early because he was already heading towards the terminal gate. We were talking about him being ready to come here, about how much of a good partner he was. We arrived at the gates, said our goodbyes and I turned to walk away. But before doing so I turned around for a last time and that's when he saw it" Jason told them and closed his eyes.
"Saw what?" Yumi asked.
"This" Jason said and opened his eyes.
There was mark of XANA in them.
Warriors jumped on their feet ready to fight.
Jason sighted "You promised".
"We did before we knew who you really are" Ulrich told him sternly.
"You are outnumbered XANA. Leave. Now" Yumi joined in.
"And I promised that I wouldn't do anything" Jason told them and sighted again "Sit down".
They exchanged looks "What do you mean? If you are not here to hurt us, what do you want?".
"That's what I wanted to explain to Odd. To all of you. Because there is something important you need to know".
"What? What do we need to know?" Aelita asked.
Before he could answer Jason suddenly flinched and rolled his eyes.
"Jason?" others asked him as they backed away.
After few seconds Jason got back to normal and leaned forward trying to catch his breath.
"What was that?" Jeremy asked him.
"Odd- he- he is in danger" Jason said while trying to breath "He is going after him".
"Who? Who is going after him?" Ulrich asked jumping on his feet again "Tyron?".
Jason shook his head "No. XANA".
