Jaden: The fallen Angel of Destruction

Chapter 20

By KellyQ

Cobra still continued to look smug. He stared at his watch. "Your friends may have found out where we are, but they can't do anything to stop the outcome. The lab we were at was rigged to blow in just a few minutes." the imposing man pointed to the computer screen, gesturing for Haou to watch.

Haou snickered. "And you think that's going to scare me?" He knew that Cobra was bluffing. A simple explosion wasn't going to do any damage to Yami and his friends. "Go ahead."

Just as he said that, he saw the lab blow on the compter screen. Smoke created so much dust and a piece of the wall came toward the screen and it went blank. Jaden just watched through Haou's eyes with a blank expression on his face. Haou, on the other hand smirked, he was going to have to thank Cobra for taking care of something's for him.

No, Jaden cried. He tired to take control of his body but Haou wouldn't let him. Come on! I just want to get out of here! Haou smirked. "I should thank you. I was planning on doing that for myself just after I got Jesse back. But you saved me the trouble."

Cobra took a few steps back. "But why would you want to kill them?" He asked in disbelief. "Aren't they Jaden's friends? I didn't think you cared about them!"

Haou's smirk seemed to grow. "Yes, they are Jaden's friends. They, however, mean nothing to me in the slightest. They're trying to keep me from coming back to power by using little Jaden here. So I wanted them out of the way."

You bastard! Jaden shouted at Haou. They're just trying to help me! And what makes you think that I would let you even come close to killing them!

Haou snickered with an amused expression. What makes you think you're powerful enough to oppose me? Haou thought back to the boy. And what does it matter now? They're already dead. All except for that Jesse... Haou stared in a lustful manor while eyeing the turquoise haired teen.

You leave Jesse out of this! And just get rid of Cobra! Jaden ordered.

"Just give me back Jesse and I'll leave you alone, Cobra!" Haou ordered.

Cobra smirked and made his way to the glass prism Jesse was in. He stopped when Haou stood protectively in front of it.

After the smoke cleared Yami checked to see if his friends were okay. Pegasus held Ruby close. Marik was shielding Bakura. Chazz had shielded himself by using his Ojama ability, and Zane stood in front of Aster, using one of his attacks to protect himself and his boyfriend. Yami looked to see that Seto also had used his Crimson lighting attack to shield himself,Yami, and Joey.

"Is everyone alright?" Yami asked. Everyone nodded their heads. "That's good. Now who is good enough to crack into computers?"

"I could contact Bastion," Chazz finally spoke up. "He is at Domino City at the moment."

"Than there's no time to waste," Yami said. I just hope we're not going to be too late, he thought watching Chazz pull out his black phone.

The young Princeton pushed a few buttons and it started to ring. After a few rings a male voice with a British accent got their attention.

"Chazz?" Everyone waited for the young Princeton to start, but Aster could tell that his friend was trying to fight back his emotions. "Hello?"

"Yeah. I'm here," Chazz said in a business like tone. "Jaden had been kidnapped by a man name Cobra. He had been transported to Domino City," he started to explain. "I'm with Yami and his friends now.We need assistance with finding the right location where Jaden is being held."

"Right. Where should we met?" Bastion asked.

Chazz glanced at Seto and got the message. "Met us at Kaiba Corps in about an hour."

"Got it," Bastion said through the other line. "Should I do anything before I get there?"

"Bring as much hacking software you can," Chazz suggested.

"Sounds good. Taniya and I will be there."

Taniya sighed. She didn't mind Chazz all to much. Taniya wasn't to thrilled Chazz even had the guts to call. "What did Mr. Princeton want?"

"Jaden has been kidnapped by a man named Cobra," Bastion explaned, turning to face his girlfriend. "And they want me to bring some hacking software to find Jaden."

" 'They'?" Taniya repeated.

"I think Chazz said that Yami and his friends want me to met them at Kaiba Corps in one hour. That is - if you want to go."

"No. I'll come with you," Taniya answered. "Jaden is my friend. And from what I've heard - Cobra is good at brainwashing people into doing his dirty work for him."
