TAKEN

"Jaden! Jaden! Jay?!" Shit! Jesse thought as he tried to call out to his unconscious friend, hoping that he would respond without having to worry over him.

The bluenette kept his eyes on Jaden, who was laying on the ground, having a net being pinned down on top of him. From a moment ago a very small but powerful eletirc shock wave moved around the brunette's body. Jaden was strong but he wasn't strong enough to handle something like that. Thinking the worst poissble case Jesse didn't want too.

"Heh. It seems as though he's mostly all talk as well." a voice said in front of the Obelisk.

Glaring at the one who caused Jaden's suffering, Jesse gripped his hand, wanting to go right up and kill the bastard was no opition. Seeing how now Trapper had Jaden's very life in his hands by a push of a button.

By tauting even more, Giese Trapper was playing with the remote control to which active the eletirc shock again. The bluenette relaized that he can not afford to watch Jaden's suffering anymore. He wanted him away from Trapper. But now that it has come down to this Jesse had to do whatever it takes to get Jaden out of here and into a safer place.

Just barely being able to see, the brunette was able to force his eyes to wake up. Wanting to know if Jesse was okay or not. Having to barely see what is going on, he noticed that there were two people in front of him. A teenager as much like himself was, over top of the Slifer, making sure that the one across from them wouldn't come any closer.

Jaden struggled as he lifted his head up as well as moving his aching body up off the ground. But seeing how his body wasn't responding the way he was telling it too, Jaden had no choice but to cave into his pain. Just by reaching his hand out to the bluenette, then closing his eyes for the second time, he manged to respond to his name. "J-Jesse..."

For a moment the Obelisk thought he heard his name being called out. He looked behind him seeing that Jaden was in the same spot as before. He squinted his eyes at the sight. Why didn't he listened to him? Then he wouldn't be in this mess.

"Keh. Ususally my other vicitms would have at least put up somewhat of a fight." Trapper muttered. Seeing how he liked to abuse his prey even more. "There's nothing he can do now, being like that."

"Enough, Trapper! Just leave him out of this, its me that you want, remember?!" Jesse tried to remind him to get his attenton away from the Slifer.

Snikering, by transforming it into a out loud laugh, the Trapper was pleased to see the Crystal Beast user being all worked up like this. Over some friend of his that was about to be put to good use for Giese Trapper.

"You're right, Jesse. It is you who I am after anyways." Trapper muttered as a grin appeared.

By the way he said that, something about it, Jesse didn't like. He glared at him. Seeing how Trapper had now his back towards the bluenette and approched to his motorcycle. Still closely hovering, proactively to the unconscious brunette, Jesse never took his eyes off of him.

Trapper perpared himself for the ride as he got his machine warmed up. Then, just when he was about to ride out, he flashed his headlight onto Jesse. From the rection just now, Jesse had no choice, but to use his arm to cover up his eyes from not being blinded by the bright white light. The light was stronger then the bluenette had relaized.

He heard a noise coming from the machine. As the tires began to scratch up onto the surface of the pavement floor, at the last minute resort, the vechile was siliding next to the Obelisk. Still being blinded from the light before Jesse had no time to notice Trapper's movements.

Just barely by getting his vision back Jesse noticed that the Trapper wasn't in front of him anymore. Suddenly, he had felt something against his skin, from his neck, it felt hard. As if someone was trying to knock him out by striking him in a weak point.

Jesse felt his body being collapsing onto the ground as he caughed to regain his breathing. Feeling as though someone had just tried to choak him to death. But he knew that wasn't the case. It was a strike instead of a choak.

He lifted his head up a bit seeing that Trapper was no longer in front of him. He tried to scan around seeing if he could spot him.

"Looking for someone?" the voice caught his attention.

By looking up, Jesse's eyes widen by the sight he was seeing. Trapper was behind him, holding something or someone in his free arm. He was still out cold and still having the net around his body. Holding him like he was some kind of a rag doll.

"Jaden!" Jesse tried to speak, but thanks to that force that Trapper had given him from his neck, he could barely get a sound out. Feeling as if he disloacted it. "P...Put him down, Tr...Trapper!"

"Don't worry, Jesse. I'll hang on to him when you recover." he promised. Even though it wasn't.

"What do you want?"

"From what I wanted from the moment I first saw you holding onto, your Crystal Beast cards."

Just by hearing that, Jesse now had understood to the agreement as he squinted his eyes, upsettingly. His hand cluntched as he struggled to get up for Jaden's sake. But he couldn't. The pain was catching up to him more then before.

Jesse moved his head up, as he saw the motorcyle leaving him. From the only strength he has left, he reached his hand out from the direction to which the vachile disappeared from. Knowing that it was his fault, for not being able to keep Jaden away from the man who was after him, was hurting him more then the actual pain itself.
