"Alright." Empire Jack said, "Explain yourself."
"Why are you doing this?" Ask Seymour.
And the figure responds, "Why am I doing this? You have no idea, again."
"We've been going through this over," Empire Jack said, "and over, and over for more than after the first year of zero A.D."
"And instead, you continue to cause mayhem over and over again." Said Seymour. "Why are you doing this?"
"You still remember the cycle?" Ask the figure. "Alright, I will you this again. We will use these badges to try again like the usual. These badges may be called 'Elemental Badges' like people say; we call these badges our 'Mystical Badges'. With these badges, they will help us all try and bring out the most powerful more invincible fiend the Lifestream has sealed away.
"And instead, we will have the powerful fiend destroy not only destroy this Empire World, but also the Real World."
"Nice." Said Seymour. He looks at Empire Jack, "You know, I'm sick and tired of this traitor trying to destroy this Empire World every time we help the other wannabe empires. Instead, we have to work with these two teens, and we will know they're goners again."
Empire Jack looks at Seymour and said, "I would agree, but we still have to try."
"Now do me a big favor, again," The figure spoke, "And stay out of our organization, again. Or for failing to help the real boys, I will send the boys to their doom." The figure then vanishes away. Empire Jack and Seymour stood in their spot, and looks at Jack and Peter.
"He's gone." Said Seymour. "Should we tell them?"
"Of course." Empire Jack replies, "But, almost. Soon, we will have to explain Jack and Peter about the man at night."
"Empire Jack!" Jack called, "Seymour!"
"You two give us a bit of a worry." Peter said, "And the prince needs to learn to stay inside and listen to orders instead of a nonsense.
"Peter!" Jack shouted.
"Hey, you would agree if that happens again." Said Peter, looking at Jack. "That prince should stay in the palace instead of coming, but no. He had to have a no brain and see his girlfriend."
"Peter, he can't help it!" Jack disagreed. "Those two were meant to be."
Sorceresses of the Elements escorts Brent back to the palace for safety as Todd and Ben watched.
"And you couldn't ask Jena on a date? You really are a loser."
"Why you!" Jack shouted, angry.
"Peter, I wish you were nicer," Jena sighed, "And Jack, calm down."
"Jack! Peter!" Empire Jack shouted, getting the boys attention. Jack and Pikachu look at Empire Jack and Seymour, surprised. "What's the matter with you two?"
"Sorry." Said Jack and Peter together.
"You two are supposed to be relax now," Seymour said, "But instead, you two are now fighting? What is the matter?"
"Sorry." Said Jack and Peter together.
As Jack and Peter discuss about the figure, they end their discussion when Yo-Yo Man walks up to Jack and Peter.
"Sheesh." Said Pikachu, "I just wish this adventure would have been easier."
"That's because everything is never easy." Peter replied.
"Jack, Peter." Yo-Yo Man called. Jack, Pikachu, and Peter got Yo-Yo Man's attention. "What did they say?"
And Jack answers, "They said, we should go back to the palace and report the news to the Pharaoh."
"Right. Let's go." Said Yo-Yo Man. And then everyone leaves the desert, and back to the village. "The figure we say today. Do you know who the person is, Jack?"
"No answer." Jack replied. "I don't even know who that guy is."
"I didn't get an answer from my empire self either." Peter replied.
"Then can we call that person, 'man in black suit'?" Ask Pikachu.
And Peter replies, "That's a stupid name. 'Man in black suit' is a 'tuxedo man'."
"Hey!" Pikachu shouted, "I'm just trying to help!"
"Pikachu, we don't ever know who the guy is." Said Jack, "But we'll be talking to our empire selves at night. I need to sleep."
Jack and Pikachu decided to go to an Inn, but Peter decides to go look at the sky for a break. Since feeling left out knew Brent most have reported to Atem already when returning to the palace. Turned to Todd and Ben requesting they return to the palace also since a guest was waiting for them.
"Alright." Said Todd, hugging her gently.
"We're just glad you're alright." Ben said, smiling.
Jena didn't say a word as she sadly sighed as an unsetting feeling ran up her spine. Yo-Yo Man looks at Jena and asks, "Hmm? Is something wrong, Jena? You haven't said a word since we walk to the palace."
"I have start collecting demonic items for a demonic ceremony and forgot to ask Joey for a piece of his hair." She replied, looking at the sky.
Both Todd and Ben stayed besides her, remembering this also. "Jena is scared for asking Joey since that guy isn't easy to even talk to." Todd meant it. Ben just kept his mouth shut.
"Well, look on the bright sight." Yo-Yo Man respond, "If there is a chance, Jack could try and negotiate with his cousin to give you Joey's hair piece. But I'm more concerned about those badges, and what did that man said about their plan."
"Like we know." Ben and Todd meant it.
Jena smiled and hugged her father before running off to find Jack, and ask him to do that favor. Yo-Yo Man laughs a little and said, "Keep going, Jena. Jack, don't let her down."
When the sun goes down and moon rises in the sky, Jack and Pikachu found Empire Jack looking at the full white moon. Jack is very curious to know about the figure in the black cloak. So he goes to Empire Jack and had to ask.
"Empire Jack?" Ask Jack, "Did you get that man's name?"
Empire Jack looks at the full moon, and he looks down with a response, "…His name is, 'Hadean'." Jack and Pikachu are surprised and confused.
"Hadean?" Ask Jack and Pikachu.
"Who's Hadean?" Ask Pikachu, "Not like a very powerful enemy, is he?"
And Empire Jack explains, "Hadean was a very long ago traitor. People in this world aren't aware of the figure until your teacher and your friends found him with Faimi."
"That sounds like 'hell'." Said Jack. "If he's Hadean for hell in Greek, then how do have Hadean as a traitor?"
"Because we're not really called Empire Jack and Seymour." A voice spoke. Jack and Pikachu at their right as Empire Jack looks at his left. "We have been in disguised as your counter parts for two years."
"Seymour." Said Jack, surprise. "What do you mean by, 'disguised as our counter parts'?"
"You haven't told him, did you?" Ask Seymour with his blue long clothes. "Or did you forget, Omega?"
Jack and Pikachu are surprised, "Omega, what's going on? If you're disguised as Empire Jack, then…"
"Seymour isn't really named Seymour." Empire Jack explained, "Seymour's real name is, 'Alpha'." Jack and Pikachu are a little surprise, and looks at Seymour.
"…Alpha?" He looks at Empire Jack and Seymour, "Omega and Alpha? That sounds like you two do have Greek Letters."
"Because, we are consider as Greek Warriors." Said Alpha, "But I'm stuck like this as your rival, Peter."
"Wow, what a shock." Said another voice. The group looks at a black cloth figure. "My counter part as my Empire self is really Alpha. Charming. If I'm supposed to have Alpha, then during the tournament, I was fighting against your counter, Jack. Omega."
"Did you figure that out?" Ask Omega, "Because I need to explain you two about Hadean."
"Sure." Said Jack, "Tell about the man called 'hell'."
"Where do we begin?" Ask Omega, thinking. "A very long time, after crisis; there was a very time we want to create another world just like the real world."
"We were able to create the new world," Alpha explains, "But we have a problem. A very one traitor problem."
And then, Omega fills in the story of Hadean. "That man, Hadean; the Greek Warlord of Hell. Hadean had the idea of wanting to the turn the world into black darkness since we the world in peace. When we punished Hadean of his actions, Hadean wasn't happy of us letting him have the world he wants. So, if he wants to make his world, he would have to us the power of the Lifestream for more.
"But as a power hungry-fool, he started to make a realm of nothing of evil, terror, darkness, and chaos. We will not accept him as the new leader, and for making him turn our peaceful world into a disaster. As we take him down many times…he beat us first.
"Hadean was way too must strong for our kind. He attacked our civilians of Greek Warlords. Alpha and I were able to survive, but we can't take him down with so much power. Because Hadean have very powerful mystic, we were no matched against Hadean. You witness his power he was since he destroyed his own minion. It was telekinetic powers he used in order to destroy a single person.
If you want to try and stop Hadean, you and Peter will have to be even stronger, and be the best than your powerful cousin. You have to be like a god to take down Hadean ounce and for all."
Jack and Pikachu are surprised, but Peter wasn't amused. "Omega, Alpha…"
"Hadean must be a very charming man." Said Peter, "And in order to defeat Hadean, we have to be gods? What about that Empire sword? Jack was the first person to pull the sword out of the stone."
"True." Omega agrees. "But he wasn't the very first the pull out the empire sword."
"Very first?" Ask Jack, confused. "So, I wasn't the first person to pull out the sword?"
"No." Seymour replies. "But someone in the past was the best back then. When someone is the best, we make that Empire person as an honorary member of our Greek Warlord."
"Nice." Said Peter. "And what about you two?"
"When someone pulls the sword out, we have to disguise ourselves as the person who pulls out the sword, and who is the person's rival." Said Alpha. "Omega and I Alpha take places by switching each time a person pulls out the sword from the stone."
Omega looks at Jack and Peter, "If you want to know more, you'll need to have another badge, and tell everyone to meet at the Danto Castle. You and Peter are almost ready to know out story." And then Omega went into Jack as Alpha went into Peter.
"Whoa." Said Jack, "That was scary."
"And to think," Peter said, "Even the mighty Saiyans would be no match against Hadean."
"Peter?" Ask Jack, "We need to be even stronger."
"Alright, but need to sleep." Said Peter. Jack and Pikachu head to their room as Peter goes to his room. As Jack and Pikachu sleep, they rest until morning comes.
Jack and Pikachu finally feel refreshed for the night. They come out of the Inn, and starts to stretch their bodies. Peter however comes out of the Inn, having his arms crossed, but a little good that the mission is complete.
"Wow!" Said Jack, "That is one amazing battle!"
"Ka-Chu!" Said Pikachu.
"Great." Said Peter, "Another mission done, and three badges earned." He looks at Jack, "But you only have five more of those badges to collect."
"I know." Said Jack, "But however, Yami and Godzica should be relived from that attack."
Peter looks at his right, and sees Yo-Yo Man, Jena, Ben, Brent, Todd, and Godzica coming. "Well, what did Atem say?"
Jena, Ben, Brent, Todd, and Godzica split into a group of two as Brent stayed beside the princess. As Ben and Todd escorted Jena to Jack's side as she gulped.
"Jack, can you get a piece of your cousin's hair for me?" She asked.
Jack thinks. "Well, I could go ask. But I can't simply ask him for a piece of hair, unless I give him something for an exchange." He looks at Jena, "Alright, you just leave me with my cousin, and I will give you his hair."
"Alright, thank you, Jack." Said Yo-Yo Man, "But that's where you'll have to go, right?"
Jack pulls out his map, and looks at his map. "Let's see. I will have to speak to the king for some help."
"You sure?" Ask Pikachu, "We can just peek at the map to know where to go."
Jack looks at Pikachu and replies, "Sorry, Pikachu, but we have to go see King Danto."
"Good." Said Peter, "Jack, I'll meet you and Pikachu at the train station." And Peter leaves, "And you better give that present to Jena."
Jack turns at Peter, and shouts, "Hey! That was secret!" And Peter leaves.
"What present?" Brent heard, asking.
"Brent…" Jena said, glaring at Brent, "Give him a break." The prince who joined with the group calms down as Todd and Ben smirked. "Here, Jack." She gives Jack some kind of demonic seal. "Use this for exchange for your cousin's hair. It's something Nyu wants your cousin to have anyway."
Godzica stayed away from the group, watching them.
"Thanks, Jena." Said Jack, taking the demonic seal. And he puts the demonic seal in his bag. "Thanks to Peter for spoiling my secret, guess I have no choice but to give this present to you."
"Oh boy." Said Pikachu, smirking, "I think I know!"
Yo-Yo Man glares at Jack, "Jack, what are you up to?"
Jack turns away, and said, "Well, you see…I remembered our second date, but I didn't get the chance to give you this as a very best present. Remember, Jena?" He puts his hands on Jena's shoulder. "Jena, I'm really proud of you for helping in battle."
"Is that it?" Ask Yo-Yo Man, "Because you'll be wasting your time."
Jack looks at Yo-Yo Man and replies, "I'll hurry, just don't know if she's ready."
"I am always ready, Jack. Right, Brent?" Jena asks, looking at Brent.
"Yeah, go ahead." Said Brent, watching.
Jack takes a deep breath, and said, "…Thank you." And he gives Jena a kiss. Yo-Yo Man was surprised to see this happen.
Brent was so very angry, he was about to kill Jack, but however Brent and Todd held Brent back, and Godzica just stood there speechless. Jack finished his kiss. Jena smiled and said, "Welcomed."
Jack smiles, but then Yo-Yo Man pounds Jack in the head. POW! Jack lets go of Jena by surprise, and said, "Ow. Here I go." And then Jack falls to the ground, unconscious. Pikachu faints to the ground, too.
"Jack, you'll never learn these days." Said Yo-Yo Man. Then Yo-Yo Man takes Jack and Pikachu to a giant rocket. "Oh well, there is a lesson to be learned." Yo-Yo Man pulls out a rope, and ties up Jack and Pikachu to the rocket. "Next time, think before you do something." He lights the string, and the rocket sparks.
The rocket launches up in the sky with Jack and Pikachu, and then by surprise, Jack and Pikachu shouts, "YAHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!" And then Jack and Pikachu come back to the ground.
"Got that out of your system?" Ask Yo-Yo Man.
"HE'S SO DEAD!" Brent shouted, mad.
"Dude, cool it!" Todd said, trying to get Brent to calm down.
"Why?" Ask Brent, angry.
"Your leg for one thing." Ben replied, pointing at Brent's leg.
"The fact, your highness, your in no shape to battle Jack." Said Godzica, "Meaning Jack would win." And then Brent calms down.
"Father, you didn't need to go that far." Said Jena, watching from her dad's action.
"Sorry, Prince Brent." Said Jack, scratching the back of his hair. "I didn't give her a kiss for a very long time since the second date."
"Oh yeah." Said Pikachu, but he looks at Jack, confused, "Wait, what?"
"Well, you better leave before Brent and I throw a tantrum." Said Yo-Yo Man, warning Jack.
"Alright." Said Jack, "I better go." He and Pikachu head off, "Good-bye, everyone!"
"Bye-bye!" Said Pikachu, leaving.
As Jack and Pikachu leave the village, Yo-Yo Man said with his arms crossed, "I can't believe Jack did that right in front of our eyes."
Brent didn't speak as he leaned on his crutches to calm down as Todd watched Jack and Pikachu leave.
"At least he wasn't cursed." Ben thought out loud.
"Guys!" Jena called, looking at Ben and Todd.
Yo-Yo Man looks at Jena and her friends, and tries to calm the group down. "Alright. That's enough. Listen, why don't we go out and celebrate? It'll be my treat for a job of success. What do you say?" And then the group agrees, but then Godzica decided to pay for saving the village.
With Jack and Pikachu leaving the village, they head out to the Orange Canyon, and head down to see the train station. "Look!" Said Pikachu, "There's the train." Jack and Pikachu hurry down the path of the canyon, and reach to the train station. "Two tickets to go to Clock Town." Jack and Pikachu enter inside the train, and then train heads out.
Back to Clock Town, Jack and Pikachu hurried to the castle, and gone to see King Danto. But before Jack enters inside the castle, Peter got his attention. "Wait." Jack and Pikachu look at Peter, "You'll have to go tell this information to King Danto."
"What about you?" Ask Jack.
"Me?" Ask Peter, "I have some business take care of. But however, I don't know what Hadean is planning, I will get to the bottom of this."
"Right." Said Jack. And both Jack and Pikachu enter inside the castle, and discuss with the king.
Inside the throne room, Jack and Pikachu inform King Danto about a man with black hair, black robes, and consider as the leader of the organization. King Danto was astonished about the black man figure wanted to take over by using the badges and it's powers.
"Incredible." Said King Danto, "So the man is Hadean, the Greek name of 'Hell'. What is he doing here in this world?"
And Jack responds, "I don't know. He never said what he was doing." Pikachu nods.
"I hear." Said King Danto, thinking. "Hadean must be a very powerful man. And he even killed his own minion without even touching him. It must be telekinetic powers since a very long time ago." He turns away, "And he's using those badges for his organization? That man must be destroyed immediately."
"But we can't." Pikachu disagreed, and King Danto got his attention.
"If we try to go confront him or even try to attack him," Jack explains, "He'll beat us down just one second."
"Oh course." King Danto agrees, "Perhaps we need a new strategy."
"Should I go see my cousin for some help?" Ask Jack.
"Not without where you'll need to go next." Said King Danto, giving Jack another mark. "Behold!" Another flash appeared, and Jack looks at the map. "…Volia!"
Jack looks at the map, and found another badge locating at the Orre Region. The next badge is at some kind of tower near Ninja Village. "Hey! That's where cousin lives!"
"So, you'll be able to see your cousin again." King Danto said, "He'll be surprised to see you again."
"But how am I going to get to Ninja Town?" Ask Jack, "Is there a transportation?"
King Danto turns away, and thinks, "Maybe…no. That won't work. But how about…nah, I sold that thing. Hang on, what about that…nope. The train goes to the Orange Canyon." He looks at Jack, "Drat. I won't be have another transportation just for you and your Pokémon to go to." He turns away. "I guess you'll have to wait until tomorrow. Understand?"
Jack has no choice. "Okay, I'll wait until tomorrow. Thank you, King Danto." And both Jack and Pikachu leave the castle until tomorrow.
Jack and Pikachu exit out of the castle, and decided to head back to home until tomorrow. However, for all that traveling, and for missing things around the castle; Jack and Pikachu decided to go around town to see the events before going home.
"Okay, Pikachu." Said Jack, looking around. "Why don't we have some fun around town before we head home."
"Like where?" Ask Pikachu.
Jack looks around, and thought of an idea, "How about we do some research about Hadean, and figure about the mysterious man?"
"But what about the games and the fun?" Ask Pikachu.
"Okay, why not?" Said Jack, going around town, "But the carnival isn't going anywhere. This going to be my thrilling than ever."
Jack and Pikachu hurried off through town, and found a very big library. As huge as the building is, the library is sure to have a whole lot of books. Jack goes up to the front door, and tries to open the door. But the door won't open.
"Drat." Said Jack, "No luck."
"Now what?" Ask Pikachu. Jack looks around the building, and found some kind of window. "Jack, we can't go through. People will believe we're thieves."
"I always have plans." Jack looks through his gear and checks, "Let's see; bombs, boomerang, candle, hammer, and monster card summing. We don't even have either a Grappling Hook or a Hookshot."
"Do we go back?"
"We'll have to make another way." And both Jack and Pikachu hurried to the backside of the library.
