So much time had passed since Alexis had received that letter from Billy, but the police still hadn't found him. Jaden and friends were wondering if he was ever going to make his move, though they were glad he hadn't. It finally happened late one afternoon, Blair went out to get the mail because it seemed that a present she had ordered for Jaden and Alexis' baby had arrived. That's when she noticed a letter addressed to Ms. Alexis Rhodes with no return address. She thought it would be best if Alexis and Jaden weren't the first people to read it, so she took it to Chazz instead.
"Oh my God."
The letter was written in blood.
See you soon, Alexis
"What do we do now?" asked Atticus.
"Everyone pack your things, we can't stay here."
"Where are we going exactly?" asked Mindy.
"Some place where that psychopath can't find us. At this point the baby would be aware of what would happen if they…" Chazz couldn't finish the sentence.
(At this point they'd have to do a partial birth abortion, don't ask me what it is, you don't wanna know)
They would be traveling in an armored vehicle disguised as an ordinary freight truck.
"Whoa… Looks a lot bigger on the inside." said Aster.
It was like an RV with all the comforts of home. Once everyone was packed they didn't waste any time getting out of there.
They had been driving all afternoon and late into the night, Alexis was starting to have episodes again.
"My baby… my precious baby… He's going to kill my baby!"
"Alexis, calm down. Nothing is going to happen to your baby; we won't let him touch you." said Zane.
"You're right; maybe the police will catch him while he's looking to see where we went!"
At that moment Alexis looked at Chazz and she looked like she was ready to kill him.
"This is all your fault!" she said running over and holding him up against the wall "If you had shot that freak job in the head that night instead of his leg he wouldn't be trying to kill my baby!"
"She's having mood swings again." whispered Jasmine to Mindy.
Suddenly Alexis relinquished Chazz and broke down crying.
"I'm sorry sweet Chazz! Can you ever forgive me?!"
"Alexis, you mustn't exert yourself, think of the baby." said Blair helping her back into her seat.
"Are you alright Chazz?" asked Jaden.
"I just hope she has that baby soon, those mood swings of hers are killing me."
All night they just kept driving and driving, when suddenly, and for no apparent reason, they stopped.
"Driver, why are we stopping?" asked Chazz through the intercom "Driver, do you hear me?"
The boys all pulled out their guns.
"Open the door."
When they opened the door they appeared to be in a dark garage.
"Where are we?"
"I have no idea."
Suddenly several robots in black cloaks emerged from the door on the other side of the room.
"Who are you? What do you want?!" yelled Aster.
"Give us the girl…"
"Over my dead body." growled Jaden.
"Your proposal is acceptable."
The robots drew large spears out from behind their backs.
"Yikes!"
"What are you so scared of?" said Chazz to Hassleberry "We have guns!"
Zane took out his weapon and fired at the robot that looked like the leader, the shot passed right through its head, the robot short circuited and fell over, but the rest just kept coming.
"MOVE!"
Jaden and friends ran through a door behind the truck and stuck something in the door so that the robots couldn't follow them, they knew they'd probably break through, but at least it would be long enough for them to get ahead, they appeared to be in some kind of factory.
"What do you think happened to our driver?" asked Jesse.
"Someone must've bribed him to bring us here."
They made their way through various rooms looking for a way out, Alexis was starting to panic.
"It's a trap… he's going to kill my baby!"
"Alexis, nothing is going to happen to our baby." said Jaden "We've come this far, and I'm not going to let our baby lose its life when it's ready to live."
Chazz tried calling the police on his cell, but he couldn't get a signal. Suddenly a cloud of green gas filled the room, and Jaden's vision went black.
"Wuh… Where am I?"
When Jaden woke up, he was locked in a cage. The walls of the room he was in appeared to be made of heavy metal. The floor beneath his was made of glass, and on the floor below he could see a huge tank of water that took up the whole room.
"Alexis!"
Alexis and the others were locked in a cell that was built into the wall.
"Well, well, well… It seems my midnight appointment is here."
Jaden and the others looked in the direction they heard the voice.
"AH! IT'S DR. DEATH!" screamed Jasmine
Dr. Death had long greasy black hair, spectacles the sat upon his crooked nose, huge bruises all over his face, and a smile not even a mother could love.
"Ms. Alexis Rhodes with the baby bye-bye special."
"If you lay one hand on her!"
"You'll do what? Fight fruitlessly against the bars of your cell Mr. Yuki? Mr. Jobs broke me out of the asylum promising me I could do what I enjoyed... And I won't be denied."
He started walking over to the cell where Alexis and the others were, when suddenly…
BANG!
Something was pounding against the metal walls of the room. It pounded harder and harder until the wall fell down. A huge metallic figure that looked like the Iron Monger entered the room, and Alexis screamed.
"HERE'S BILLY!" he exclaimed in a metallic voice that sent a chill down everyone's spines.
"Ah Mr. Jobs, everything is ready, I can do it at any time."
"Patience Jack… Before we get rid of the thing inside Alexis, I must prove that she is mine."
"Please let me do it now! I've been waiting for this for weeks!"
"You'll do as I tell you, or I'll feed you to my pets."
Alexis was crying, the nightmare was coming true.
"Do whatever you want to me, but please don't hurt my baby!"
"Sorry my dear Alexis, but that is just not possible. You belong to me… and I must get rid of anything that proves otherwise."
"You can't do this! This is just plain sick!" said Aster.
"That thing inside her should never have been created, so I'm going to get rid of it."
"This isn't a thing we're talking about! It's a baby!" said Blair.
"If Alexis wants to have babies then she can have all the babies she wants with me… But that thing inside her is Jaden's; it can't be allowed to live."
"She's not yours!" yelled Jaden.
"She was mine the day I first laid eyes on her, and I'm going to prove it to you, to myself, to her, and to the whole world… with a duel."
"You're crazy if you think I'm going to put my child's life up to a game!" said Jaden.
"You don't have any choice, and besides Jaden, I'm giving you a chance to save yourself and your… spawn. Win and you all go free, just like that. When you lose, not only will I rid Alexis of the abomination inside her, but the floor underneath you will open up, and you'll fall into a tank full of hungry crocodiles!"
Down below Jaden saw about six crocodiles enter the pool.
"Jaden, you can't agree to this!" said Atticus.
"Like I said, he doesn't have any choice."
Jaden couldn't risk the life of his child in a duel, but if he had no choice then he had to do everything in his power to make sure he won the duel.
"I promised myself I wouldn't use the power of the Supreme King again… but I can't let him hurt my baby… Just one more time."
Jaden closed his eyes and started to focus.
"Breathe deeply… Let the darkness grow inside you… feel its power coursing through you… but don't let it control you… know that this power is yours to control…"
Suddenly Jaden started to glow inside his cage, then there was a blinding flash of light.
"What's happening?!" asked Alexis.
"He's calling on the power of the Supreme King!" exclaimed Zane.
"So the stories are true… interesting." said Billy.
When the light faded Jaden was still standing inside the cage, but now he was dressed in the Supreme King's armor, his eyes glowed through the eye slits on the mask.
"I accept your challenge Bill Jobs, and you're going down!"
