Chapter 8: Aster Returns

Some time later everyone went to an assembly where an announcement was made that Aster Phoenix was joining the school. Chazz, Jaden, and the rest of their friends irked at the thought of Aster joining the school. But to make matters worse, Aster challenged them to a match behind the school.

"All right Chazz here are my terms, if I win I take Jaden back. You win, you keep Jaden," explained Aster.

"You're low you that?" pointed out Chazz materializing his scythe. "I won't let him take Jaden away from me again! It also about time I settled an old score."

"Enough chit chat!" yelled Aster materializing his axe. " Take this! HELL PRESSURE!!"

Everyone in Chazz and Jaden's group was then brought down to their knees as if a huge amount of weight was dropped on them and slowly their energy was being drained from them. Aster then took the opportunity to attack Chazz in his weakened state. Now Chazz was barely able to even block the attacks, let alone attack Aster. Jaden, seeing Chazz's distress struggled up to his feet and signaled to Blair so that she too got up. The two of them then walked up to each other and Jaden placed his hands upon Blair's oversized gun.

"Ready?" asked Jaden looking towards his cousin.

"Yeah," smirked Blair. "Let's kick some butt!"

"Right," said Jaden taking in a deep breath. "God of healing I call upon you!!"

"Aid us in this fight…" continued Blair as she and Jaden started glowing.

"And lead us to victory!! HEALING LIGHT CANNON!!!" shouted Jaden and Blair in union.

Blair then spun around and fired her gun at Aster as Jaden leapt into the air and bathed everyone in the spell's healing light. Aster who was taken by surprise by Blair and Jaden's attack wasn't prepared for Chazz's counter attack, once his power was restored. This mistake allowed Chazz to send Aster flying into a tree.

"Take that!!" yelled Chazz taking a stance. "Thanks guys, I feel ten years younger!!"

"Don't just stand there!!!" reprimanded Haou ramming into Chazz so that he didn't get hit by the ray of ice that was about to hit him. "Are you stupid or something!?"

"S-sorry!!" apologized Chazz. "Hey, What do you say about teaming up!?"

"I couldn't agree more!!" laughed Haou. "Time to bring down the house!!"

"Let's go!" agreed Chazz as he and Haou rushed forward. "DARK ASSAILING SLASH!!"

Chazz and Haou both raced across the field, striking Aster and making contact with some of Aster's allies who had been hiding using an invisibility spell. Aster's allies turned out to be T-bone, Frost, and Thunder who had their strength increased by unrestricted spells. Smiling, Jesse then ran onto the field and sent his ribbons everywhere knocking Aster's lackies off their feet. Aster, who had barely been able to dodge Jesse's attacks, went in for kill when attacking the blunette.

"You're so annoying you know that!?" snapped Aster swinging his axe down upon the blunette until Jesse's ribbons blocked it. "But I guess that you're going to have to die first huh? Good thing that you're not good at close combat."

"So you think that I can't fight up close? Well you dead wrong!" shouted Jesse pushing away Aster. "Observe!!"

Grabbing a couple of his ribbons, Jesse slammed them together in his hands. Then the blunette started glowing. Aster, sensing that he had to stop Jesse ran forward until someone leapt in front of him.

"Going somewhere?" questioned Zane pressing the barrel of his gun against the blade of Aster's axe. "Last time I checked, you were fighting Chazz."

"Shut-up! I've got some strategy in mind you know," retorted Aster. "Now if you'll excuse me!"

"Don't think so!!" shouted Zane pushing against the silver haired slayer.

"LACE SWORD!!"

Quickly Zane and Aster separated when they heard those words and a blue blur came plummeting in between them. When the smoke cleared it revealed Jesse who had a sword made of his ribbons. Jesse smirked and punched the ground in front of him causing it to shatter. Both Aster and Zane had o eyes when they saw it.

"You were saying?" snickered Jesse appearing in front of Aster and lashing out with his sword.

"Damn!" swore Aster trying to block the attacks. "I underestimated him."

"Looking for me as well?"

Aster turned to the side to find that Chazz was attacking him as well. By now Jesse had leapt away and gone to help Jim in fighting Aster's lackies. Then Jaden swooped in from above in order to do a surprise attack on the silver haired slayer.

"Damn! These two work well together!" thought Aster as he dodged another one of Jaden's aerial attacks. "I need to think of something fast!"

Just as Jaden was about to attack Aster again, the silver haired duelist lashed out oand grabbed Jaden around the throat. Choking, Jaden crawled at Aster's hands, trying to get him to let go.

"Aster…I can't…breathe," choked Jaden. "Chazz…help…me.."

"No, what have I done?" shuddered Aster loosening his grip on Jaden's throat. "Jaden's in pain and it's because of me…"

"GET YOUR BLOODY HANDS OFF OF JADEN!!!" roared Chazz ramming into Aster and catching the brunette in his arms. "Bastard…"

After recovering from his stunned state, Aster looked up to see Chazz holding Jaden protectively against his chest, whispering comfort into the brunette's ear. Jaden smiled in response to the raven haired teen's actions and snuggled close against Chazz. Slowly, Aster stood up and dematerialized his axe.

"Chazz, you win," said Aster. "Jaden's a whole lot happier with Chazz anyway…"

"But boss," said Frost.

"Enough, Chazz has proved that he has one fair and square," reprimanded Aster offering a hand towards Chazz and Jaden. "And we can be friends right?"

"Yeah," agreed Chazz shaking hands with Aster. "Being friends sounds good."

"Thanks," thanked Aster.

"All right, enough mushy gushy stuff! I'm gonna be sick if this goes on!" yelled Haou rubbing the back of his head.

"Shut-up Haouwie!!" retorted Jesse roughly shoving Haou. "You were always such a fussbucket!"

"Nii-san!!" roared Haou leaping forward and grabbing Jesse's neck. "I am not a fussbucket!!!!"

"Hey you two, stop it!!" shouted Jaden stepping towards his brothers. "Fighting all the time isn't going to do anything!!"

"Jesse nii-san started it!" exclaimed Haou still trying to strangle his older brother.

"Ha ha ha ha!!" laughed Jesse not realizing that Haou was trying to strangle him. "Don't know what you're trying to do Haou, but it sure tickles!"

"You're just a hunk of muscle aren't you!?!?" demanded Haou starting to shake his older brother. "What are you!? Immortal!?

"It certainly seems like that," said Jaden and Chazz in union.

"I'm not going to intervene this time," sweatdropped Jim crossing his arms. "Jesse seems to be holding his own anyway."

"Haou, if you're trying to rock my to sleep, it certainly is working," said Jesse his eyes starting to droop. "ZZZZZZZZ."

"WHAT THE HELL!?!?" roared Haou his eyes the size of dinner plates. "Nothing I do seems to affect him!! Is he immune to pain!?"

"No swearing in front of the children!!" snapped Jim slapping a hand over Haou's mouth.

"There are no #%&ing children here!!" retorted Haou yanking Jim's hand away from his mouth. "All I see are teenagers!!"

"Of course there are children here!!" yelled Jim gesturing over to Blair and Syrus. "And I'm gonna have to wash your foul mouth out with soap don't I?"

"W-wait, I didn't to say the f word!" stuttered Haou at the thought of having his mouth washed out with soap. "It's a misunderstanding!"

"Too late for that," said everyone around him.

"It's off to the bathroom with you!" shouted Jim dragging Haou off.

"NOOOOOOOO!!!!!" wailed Haou. "SOMEONE SAVE ME!!"


Me: Chapter 8 is done!

Revengeful: Nice, and I hope that Haou learned his lesson in the end.

Me: Oh he did, didn't you Haou?

Haou: I can still taste the soap….

Jesse: Your fault Haou, (stretches) that was a nice nap.

Jaden: Not even a hurricane could wake you up once you fall asleep Jess, but the same applies to me as well I guess.

Chazz: I know that all too well.

Jaden: Are you referring to the time that I fell asleep in your lap during Crowler's class?

Chazz: Yes, I am referring to that Jaden.

Haou: JADEN WHAT!!!???

Chazz: DON'T KILL ME!!

Me: While we try to stop a rampaging Haou, please leave reviews.

Revengeful: See you next time!
