Humor me and read this.
Chapter Five of light; easily my biggest and best chapter yet. I mean I built an entire segment of this story around a song. THAT IS RIGHT! AROUND A SONG SO THAT THE TIMMING WORKS IF YOU READ AT A STEADY PACE. This was incredibly hard so I really would like everyone to try this out; of course you can find the song in a zip off my site and the link is bellow. Just pick the chapter 5 zip, and the music is in there. Please give this a shot, it really adds to the experience, and that is what I want to deliver hear.
Well other reasons to read this? It is my best chapter thus far, by far. But other reasons are the simple fact that we got tag dueling (which is hard to write), the best music integration to date, lot's of story, lot's of emotion, lot's of action, and last a blue haired opposition to Blair. Whew, with that done you can read the real thing! SO ENJOY!

Chapter 5 Limits
Another day came; the sun shown Duel Academy, another perfect day for this little island. Brett had just begun to wake up; the sun shown through his window illuminating his room. He was well rested and ready to start another day especially after last night. The new found encouragement from his friends had boosted his spirits; maybe this year was not going to be so bad.
Brett got ready; he left his room shortly after, with his deck and duel disk. He descended the stairs a small voice came from beside him; "Morning Brett how are you today?" Blair said as she looked at him coming down the stairs from his room. "Look, I'm sorry about yesterday, I never properly thanked you for saving me from that situation."
Blair gently blushed, causing Brett to quickly respond. "No their is no reason for you to apologize for anything Blair. It was not your fault for anything that happened. It was my fault anyway; you ended up in that position because I came to Duel Academy."
"Well regardless of why it happened, you saved me from that maniac. I wish there was some way for me to repay you for saving me." Brett turned bright red hearing Blair utter those words. "Maybe we could hang out after class today and talk a bit?"
"Su-Sure Blair I would love too;" Brett said, his voice quivering quickly accepting her proposition. "So you're going to class right?"
"Well in a bit first I just got to get something from my room." Blair smiled and ran back to her room as she spoke. "You just go on ahead, I will be right behind you; ok?"
"Yeah ok but remember after class?" Brett smiled back as he turned away and left. Blair turned back to her room; smiling at how easy it was to get Brett to comply.
Later Brett got to class, and he was still had some time before class started; some of students were settling into their seats. Brett noticed as he moved towards his seat that their was some sort of commotion going on near the front of the class. Many of the male students had gathered around someone; all with pens and papers as the female students looked on. Brett was wondering what could cause such a stir in the student population. Syrus squeezed out of the crowd landing on his face; Brett ran immediately over helping Syrus up to his feet.
"You ok Syrus?" Brett questioned, but never got an answer when a young girl's voice came from the crowd. "Is that the cutest, most illusive duelist out there? I guess I Finally found him!"
Song 1 Kaze no Kodou
Then the crowd parted; revealing a girl in an Obelisk Bleu outfit with a movie star face, with a cute appearance. She jumped into Brett's arms; grabbing hold of his arms forcing Brett to spin around. Her long blue ponytails moved gently with the spin; before gently falling into place. "So I finally get you back in my grasp. You are one tough little duelist to get but you are so worth it!" She was smiling from ear to ear, while starring directly into his eyes.
"Oh, hi Britney when did you get here?" Brett sounded very unenthusiastic, while forcing a small smile. "What are you sick? I was on the boat with you, but chasing you is like a ghost. It's almost like you forgot I'm you're girlfriend, geez isn't that so silly right kid."
"WHAT? Brett is Britney really you're girlfriend. You're so lucky to have a pop star duelist as you girl friend." Syrus was jealous of Brett; starting to cry a little about how unlucky he was. "Syrus she is not my girlfriend" Brett said sounding very aggravated; "she just thinks she is. So are you still a pop star, or are you playing actually a real duelist?"
"Well my publicist said it would be better if I went as a duelist; and of course he wants me to be with you, I could not pass this up. But don't get the wrong idea I love being with you. None of these other duelists could hold a candle to you, either in dueling or being so cute." The news knocked most of the guy duelists out; they would do anything to have Britney as their girlfriend.
Then Jaden burst in the door panting hard, completely out of breath. He had just made it to class, and surprisingly he was not late today. Brett looked up, but still no Blair causing Brett to be a little concerned. "Jaden is Blair with you? She said she was going to be here, and she is never late."
"No, she is not with me Brett;" the bell rang signaling class was about to start. Brett became increasingly worried. Blair was never late for anything, and never class since she was the class rep. Brett ran quickly up the steps; running towards the door grabbing Jaden telling him they had to hurry. Syrus, Chazz, Halseberry, and Jesse all ran out after Brett and Jaden. "Hey wait Brett, who is this Blair? She better not be a girl. I'm the only girl for you! Damn I'm not going to lose him again;" her blue eyes filled with fire passion. She gave chase to Brett, not wanting to lose him.
Song 1 end
Blair slowly woke up, coming out of a hazy state. The last thing she remembered was going into her room, when she was hit on the head with enough force to knock her out. She could not move and she felt something tied to the back of her she moved her head slowly trying to see who was behind her. Then she realized her feet were dangling in the air. She looked down to see that their was no ground bellow her feet. She saw that she was tied up; the rope securely holding her up. She looked past her feet to see a hundred foot drop to the ocean bellow; she immediately screamed at the top of her lungs.
Brett got out just in time to hear Blair's scream; he looked around, tracking in on the source of the sound. Looking around till he realized it was coming from the cliffs. He immediately began to run over to the source of the sound. The rest of the group followed behind Brett, running trying to keep up with his heightened pace. Brett knew something was wrong, but if it was that group again it did not matter.
Brett ran up to the area where the screams where coming from. As he went over the hill, he saw a crane; attached to the rope the crane held up, was Blair and Alexis tied up together. The girls were back to back, Alexis was still unconscious; they hung from the crane overhanging a cliff. As Brett neared the cliff two people jumped in front of him, holding their hands out in front of them, blocking Brett's path. "Stop now or to the rocks bellow they go." The two men stood between Brett and Blair; the second one began to speak. "You shall duel or they shall fall, your chances are so very small."
"Wait a second that lame rhyming; you must be the paradox brothers. What could you possibly want from me. I get hit with a sword each time I lose points, or are you just mad about my adoptive father firing you." The others arrived shortly after Brett; they saw the new set up, and Brett motioned them to stay back. "What are you blabbering about? We never had any intentions of hurting you, but you will be pushed to your limits."
"Those fools! They were never to say anything about why they were dueling him. This puts far too much light on my plan. I will need to switch targets for the next duel, and something to get rid of Brett." Viper finished speaking, watching on his computer while events unfolded. Scowling at events before his eyes, things where starting to go bad. "Those morons have just terminated there contract; but let's see how much energy they can suck out of Brett."
"Brett I'm so glad you're here!" Blair shouted out, causing Brett to blush slightly while responding. "Don't worry Blair I'm going to save you, and beat these losers. I'm world class and you are not so get ready to lose." Alexis now woke up quickly looking at the situation realizing she was in trouble.
"Now listen to us;" the paradox brothers began speaking at the same time. "This is how the duel shall work. It shall be a tag duel consisting of me and my brother against Brett and another duelist. We have decided on Jaden for your partner. Should anyone interfere with our match, we shall end these females lives by pressing the button on this controller. Each team shall have 8000 life points and for each thousand life points you lose, we shall cut one of the eight ropes. Do you agree?"
"No he doesn't cause the Chazz will be taking this duel; not Jaden. The Chazz will save his beloved Alexis by himself if he must." Brett and Chazz had never really talked since last year since their last duel. They would have to work together to save the girls. "Very well we accept this substitution of players. Now Brett shall be first to draw, followed by Para, then shall come Chazz, and last shall be my turn."
"You're doom comes now!" they both shouted, and the duel began.
Britney was listening to the whole thing from further back. She was unhappy that Brett cared for Blair, much more then her. She was unhappy with this news, but she looked the girl over. There was no way Brett liked that runt, hanging from the string then the pop queen herself. She figured it was time to cheer her guy on; "Come on Brett win this one for me! You could beat these guys buy yourself for me right?" Brett and the others looked at her for a moment. Brett was becoming quickly aggravated with her, but he quickly refocused on the duel. The life points set as Brett and Para drew there first five cards, "Let's duel" all four yelled at once.
"Well it's my turn first so I will make it quick!" Brett took a card from his hand, placing it on his duel disk. "I summon my Nin-Ken Dog to the field and end my turn."
"Very well here comes my turn, and now those eight ropes shall start to burn. I play a monster face down while I play a trap card as well. That is all for now, fool." Para ended his turn while Brett and Chazz traded spots. Chazz closed his eyes; speaking to Brett as they passed. "Brett if you think this is a game then you're dead wrong. You better not be holding me back, you have been a burden since last year."
Chazz stepped up; a confident smile across his face. "I start my turn by playing my Y Dragon Head; and now attack the face down card Y Dragon Head." The mechanical dragon came down on a Mystic Tomato creature; destroying the monster instantly. "Now my monsters effect activates as I summon a second Mystic Tomato from my deck in attack mode." Para laughed, causing Chazz to scowl as he spoke; "big deal, you got a useless tomato. Now I use Brett's monster to attack that new tomato."
The second one was crushed; the new monsters effect summoned a new monster, known as cannon soldier to the field in attack mode. Chazz was unhappy, but at least his last attack but at least he took away life points. "Fine I place one card in my magic/trap zone, and end my turn. Don't get too comfortable, I'm going to really start the pain soon."
"That was your last successful turn, because you two still have not learned." Dox said coming into position for his turn. Blood veins appeared on Chazz's forehead; Chazz began to shout, "Enough with the stupid rhyming you dorks and just duel!" "Very well, I start my turn by changing cannon soldier to defense. Next I summon my Kaiser Sea Horse, and now I attack your Y dragon head." Chazz and Brett lost 200 life points while their monster disappeared. "Now my Canon Soldier will sacrifice itself, to deal another 500 life points damage. Well you two shall lose soon enough; I end my turn."
Brett and Chazz switched, and as hey passed Brett confidently said; "Just watch me go. I will beat these two by myself." Brett's turn started; he quickly drew his next card. Brett started his turn by tributing his Dog monster. A large slab of ice fell from the sky; the wind whipped around it. The ice broke apart revealing Mobius the Frost Monarch. "I activate my new monsters effect! So know I can destroy your facedown magic card. Not bad huh?"
"Not so fast! I activate that card, and it is my Mystical Space Typhoon. Since it is a quick magic spell card, I can activate it. Now my spell destroys your trap card." The card effect activated destroying the trap Chazz had left behind. The Call of the Haunted disappeared, causing Chazz to yell. "Nice going you moron, is that world class dueling I hear about." Brett only stood there; Brett retaliated with an attack dropping their opponent's life points.
The score currently was Brett and Chazz with 7300 life points while the Paradox Brothers had only 6900 life points. Everyone could see Chazz and Brett were not working well together, and it was causing problems. Para stepped up to the field; drawing his next card before opening his mouth. "I play my premature burial card. This allows me to summon my Kaiser Seahorse back from the grave. Next I will play a trap and play a monster in defense mode, before ending my turn."
Brett and Chazz continued to trade places, shooting comments on how the other was doing back and forth between them. Their teamwork skills left room for improvement, but so far it was working. Chazz started his turn by drawing a card; next he summoned yet another Y Dragon Head. It attacked the face down revealing the Dark Hex, who had 1600 defense points. Brett and Chazz lost 100 points. Chazz quickly moved to attack the Kaiser Sea Horse with the Ice Monarch. Their opponents lost more life points, as they scowl towards their opponents; Chazz laughed as he ended his turn
The next turn came; Dox was about to change the balance of power in this duel. Dox used his tribute doll magic card; sacrificing his monster to summon his over powered Suijin. His new monster was unable to attack due to the power of his magic card. Dox played a new monster face down defense position; then Dox quickly ended his turn.
Brett took over switching modes; he attacked the new face down monster revealing the Spear Cretin. The creature's effect allowed both sides to summon a monster. Brett picked the old Y Dragon head in his graveyard in attack mode. Dox re-summoned the Dark Hex monster in defense position. A new monster was placed facedown before Brett ended his turn.
The Y Dragon Head was destroyed by Suijin causing more life points were lost. This time one of the ropes was released causing the girls drop a few inches. They both screamed loudly while everyone's heart skipped a beat. Brett watched as Para ended his turn; Chazz step up to the field to start his turn. Chazz placed a new monster down defense position before placing another trap/magic card. The monarch monster destroyed another facedown monster before Chazz ended his turn.
Dox took over the duel; placing another monster in face down defense position. Next he flip summoned yet another Mystic Tomato. This time Suijin took out the Monarch, knocking more life points away from Brett and Chazz. Then the Mystic Tomato destroyed Chazz's Ojama Black, that he placed face down earlier. The turn ended before Brett was finally able to go back for more; the duel was not looking well for anyone.
Chazz and Brett were not working well together; both wanted to save their respective girl, but neither of the guys liked one another. Brett knew this was not going well but he had a new plan; he placed a trap and ended his turn. Para started his new turn he skipped playing any new cards, rather destroying the last Y Dragon Head. The Mystic Tomato attacked the last facedown card defending Brett. This time Brett was ready as Marshmellon appeared; it's effect activated, taking life points away from Para. "Sorry but it's time to retake control of this duel. First Marshmellon cannot be destroyed; second because you attacked it in facedown defense position so you lose a thousand life points."
Para ended his turn; this time Brett stopped Chazz as he was about to pass Brett. Brett whispered quietly to Chazz; "Look I know we do not like each other, but I'm not letting the girls suffer. That card that's face down is a present for you; but just end your turn without doing anything." Brett looked dead serious straight at Chazz; "well you do love that other freak hanging there; so I doubt you would betray me. Alright I'll take your word for it." Chazz stepped into position drawing his next card before activating the face down card. The trap Jar of Greed activated allowing Chazz to draw one more card before ending his turn.
When Dox started his turn he simply drew a new card playing meteor of destruction taking away from a thousand points. Dox ended his turn as another rope was cut causing Jaden and the others to become more concerned. Brett's team's life points were down to 4900. Each time Brett had been trying to block out the fact that more ropes were being cut. Brett was forcing him self to concentrate on the duel, if he lost then it was game over. The others had been shouting and cheering this whole time but Brett was dead focused, it was time to win.
Brett's aura formed around his body while he trade places. Slowly the ghost aura became stronger; Brett drew the next card, his aura still present. Brett yelled; "I activate Pot of Greed! Allowing me to draw to more cards; and now Destiny Draw." This time his aura went into the two new cards; Brett smiled as he looked at his two new cards. "I activate my Tribute to the Doomed. So now by getting rid of a card in my hand you're Suijin is finished."
Dox complained; his monster was rapped in bandages being destroyed by the magic cards effect. "I'm not done I summon my Luster Dragon and attack your facedown card" as the spear cretin was destroyed causing both players to summon another monster. Brett re-chose his Frost Monarch while Dox chose the old Spear Cretin as it went into face down defense position. Brett then got his Frost Monarch to attack the Mystic Tomato, destroying another thousand life points. His opponent picked another Canon Soldier to the field in defense.
Brett at last ended his turn; his opponents had still 4000 life points. Brett knew they could win if this kept up. Para started his turn by playing a new magic card. "I activate ante card, now we both pick a card; the card with the highest attack wins, while the loser wins a thousand life points." Brett picked his magic card double summon, while Para picked Gate Guardian. Brett lost another 1000 life points; while another rope was cut; the girls screamed again as the situation got worse. Para ended his turn; Brett and Chazz traded places while Brett whispered to him. "Time to win this duel Chazz. Go for it, destroy them!"
Chazz nodded with a big smile, while drawing his next card at the same time. "Ok you bunch of rhyming losers; you guys are finished now. I summon my X Head Canon in attack mode, and destroying your little Canon thingy. Guess my machine cannon is better then your scrap pile." Chazz had a much bigger smile now that they had the upper hand; "now I place one last trap or magic card and end my turn."
Dox walked up drawing another card. "Finally, now you shall face the thunder, as I now play my Soul Exchange so we both tribute a monster so I chose my Spear Cretin" as Chazz looked at Brett as he nodded "I choose my Marshmellon."
"Now I can summon my all powerful, Sanga of Thunder." The two paradox brothers laughed harder and harder till Chazz spoke up. "You fools, you just allowed us to win. I activate my Ring of Destruction; and I just happen to pick you're Sanga." As the ring attached to Sanga's arm; the monster struggled against it as it blew up. 2600 life points were removed from each team.
It cut Chazz and Brett's life points to 400 points; the Paradox brothers dropped to 2300 life points. More ropes were cut as only one was left intact, and the girls rope aloud them to fall slightly closer their fate bellow. Dox looked at his hand, there was nothing he could do; and he was wide open. All he could do was end his turn; completely disgust of how this team of duelists, who hated one another earlier yet worked together.
Brett stepped up drawing his last card he needed to win. "You guys are the worst kind of people; if you want me, go for me and never try to hurt the people I care about. I summon Red Eyes Black Chick and activate his effect; allowing me to summon my Red Eyes Black Dragon from my hand." Brett paused for a moment; smiling at Blair before continuing. "People as evil as you could never win; finish them Red Eyes." The dragon shot a blast of fire at their opponents; dropping there life points to zero.
The duel was over, and Brett breathed a sigh of relief, then he felt a mass amount of energy was drained. The band around each of the duelists that partook in the duel glowed; Brett and the others felt incredibly weak. Chazz however ran forward; despite the loss of energy, trying to save Alexis and be the hero again.
Dox swung his foot knocking Chazz off his feet. Para grabbed Chazz throwing him across the field landing near Jaden. "Brett you shall have to get through us to save them; we have even decided to be generous. You have a several minutes to save them. Do you think you can do it?" Brett removed his duel disk tossing it back to Jaden. "Guys stay out of this; ok?" The others stayed back watching from a far; Jaden held Brett's duel disk, the timer began to count down. Brett quickly stretched before getting into ready stance; steadying him self for the fight to come.
Song 2 Chateau
"Get him!" said the brothers. Brett tossed his duel disk as the brothers ran towards him beginning to throw punches. The brothers split up, each taking an opposite side to Brett. Each of the punches flew close as Brett started using his hands to block most of oncoming punches, while dodging other punches. Brett narrowly dodged each one before doing a backwards flip, gaining some distance allowing him to regroup. Britney never knew Brett was this good of a fighter. The Para Dox brothers took a step forward straightening their right arms; a small dagger flew into each of their right hands.
Brett gritted his teeth; running towards the brothers. The brothers began swiping with their daggers, attacking only from the front. They moved around one another looking for openings, slashing in every direction. Each of the swipes came quicker as Brett narrowly dodged the next slash by Dox. Para took the other side as he slashed Brett's arm. Brett parried each of the next series of slashes using only his hands, before spinning around Dox. Dox swung the opposite way with his dagger; Brett moved his hand around blocking the blade. Everyone could not believe Brett stopped the dagger. Brett got closer, elbowing Dox in the stomach knocking him down.
Brett grabbed Dox's dagger, clenching it while blood dripped from his hand. Para ran forward jumping over his brother; Brett was forced to back up, giving Para room. After a brief moment the fight resumed; Para and Brett each slashed with the daggers. Each time the daggers connected with incredible force, causing both to pull away. Slashes flew threw the air while Brett slowly led them away from the cliff. Each of the following slashes became far more violent. Dox recovered getting up and running to Para's aid. Para continued to slash each time the blade moving faster, and faster.
Dox stood back waiting for a chance to join, watching the fight unfold. The slashes continued; Brett studied the moves of Para. Para continued the assault; quickly becoming increasingly furious with the lack of hits on his opponent. Para leaped forward blade out; Brett dodged the blade as it went past his face. Brett flipped his blade; cutting Para's hand causing both blades to fly through the air. Brett did a backwards roll; catching each of the daggers. Brett rose to his feet; tossing both blades well off the cliff. Para and Dox regrouped and were now side by side.
They both looked at him, angered since they were losing to their opponent. Dox ran jumping into the air while Brett moved out of the way; sidestepping out of the way. Para ran in, throwing punches while Dox threw kicks at Brett. Brett could only parry, before dodging two simultaneous attacks. Brett knocked both opponents back with his fists; the brothers flew through the air, landing on their feet.
Brett paused, allowing him to get ready to end the fight. Brett used his hand to motion Dox forward, and Dox took the invitation; using another ju6mping kick while Brett rolled forward dodging easily. Para circled Brett; striking right after Dox with his feet. Para ducked and turned using a sweeping kick; Brett jumping over Para's leg. Brett continued to dodge as the battle continued; Brett threw another punch into Dox knocking him back. Para continued onward with the assault.
Dox recovered quickly; running towards them. Brett noticed, quickly turning to Para as he grabbed his punch, pushing him slightly backwards. Para quickly ran towards Brett again; Brett turned landing his foot on Dox's leg. Leaping up into the air; beginning to spin his body in the air. Brett's leg whipped around; knocking both brothers out cold with his foot.
Brett looked over to see that time was almost up. Only ten seconds remained. Blair and Alexis screamed for Brett to save them. Brett ran; the time still continuing to count down. Brett hurried as the band sucked more energy from him, but the band showed no effect on Brett. Brett was only a few meters when the timer hit zero. The final blade was released; cutting the last rope, leaving the girls to fall to their demise. The girls began to scream at the top of their lungs; tears falling from their eyes.
Brett was focused and determined to end this situation. His eyes focused on the rope, the only way to save the girls. Brett slid off the cliff, his right hand digging into the ground; while the left grabbed the loose rope, quickly whipping it around his hand multiple times. His hand dug into the ground; the weight of the girls became evident when the rope went tense.
Brett cried out in blistering pain; the ground went into Brett's open wound. Brett's wound was emanating blistering pain. Brett closed his eyes tightly; trying to forget the large amount of pain he was enduring. Blair and Alexis noticed immediately they were no longer falling. They stopped crying and screaming; looking up to see Brett hanging off the edge of the cliff. Brett was the only thing holding them up; stopping from falling into the ocean. They both shouted at the top of their lungs; "Brett!"
Jaden and the others got to the cliff in a hurry. Jaden got down on his knees grabbing onto Brett's arm. "Brett hold on we will get al of you out of this. You ok Brett?" Jaden asked. Britney arrived at the edge of the cliff; shouting immediately, "Brett be careful! If you die I don't think I could go on with my life."
Brett laughed a bit at Britney's comment before speaking up; "stay back guys, I have no clue if this cliff can support me and the girls; let alone all of you. Listen Hasleberry and Jaden, go to my right. I'm going to swing the girls up; do not worry about me till they are safe, got it!"
Brett began slowly swinging the rope back and forth, the girls began to move. Slowly the girls gained speed; rising higher and higher. "Are you guys already up there, and down there?"
"We're ready up here;" Jaden and Hasleberry responded; the girls shouted nodded. The girls still terrified for their lives.
Slowly speed built up getting closer and closer, till Brett yelled loudly. Taking one last powerful swing; throwing a slight curve moving the girls to the cliff. The girls flew up through the air; right onto the cliff as Jaden and Hasleberry caught the girls out of mid air. Throwing the girls had caused Brett too sway too much; he lost his grip. Brett began to fall towards the ocean, when he felt a hand grab his.
Brett looked up to see Jesse with a firm grasp on his hand. Jesse smiled before stating, "you did not think you were going to die a hero, then I guess you will be sorry too say you got to live." Jesse began to pull Brett; the cut Brett's hand had coated Brett's hand in his own blood. Slowly Brett began to slip through Jesse's hand. "Brett hold on!" Jesse yelled as Brett continued to slip through Jesse's finger.
Jesse struggled to hold on but it was impossible for him to hold on. Brett's hand parted from Jesse's; Brett began to fall downwards to the rocks bellow. Brett quickly shoved his hand into the side of the cliff. Brett came to a stop 12 feet bellow the edge of the cliff. Brett screamed from the pain as his body hung from the cliff.
"Brett hold on we will get you back up!" Jesse got up looking for a solution. Jesse went over to the crane; taking one of the blades used to cut the ropes. He ran over to the tied up girls; cutting the girls loose. Jesse searched the ground, grabbing the longest segment of rope, running back to the cliff. Jesse let the rope hang down behind Brett. "Brett grab on!"
Brett rapped his free arm around the rope multiple times. Brett wrapped the rope around five times, before pulling his arm out of the cliff. The weight nearly caused Jesse to fall off the edge; Jim came from behind Jesse grabbing the rope. "Don't worry mate, not going to let anyone else get hurt today;" Jim stated to Jesse.
Jesse and Jim slowly pulled Brett up, slowly getting him onto the cliff and into safety. Brett crawled away from the cliff, completely out of it. Brett had used all the energy he had left in his body trying to stay alive. Jesse and Jim slowly helped Brett onto his feat. The two guys helped Brett away from the cliff. Jesse and Jim each had one of Brett's arm over their shoulder. The girls were standing sidelines watching the ordeal; Chazz finally got back up from his crash landing, wondering what had happened. Blair ran over to Brett shouting in a panic, "Brett are you ok?" Brett did not answer; he was unconscious from the loss of energy. Blair became increasingly worried, shouting louder; "Brett!"
Jaden ran over comforting Blair, "don't worry he's just tired. I would be too after that kind of workout." Blair looked up at Jaden; Jaden turned to Jesse, "we should get him to the infirmary right away."
As everyone left, the Paradox brother slowly got up. They were in pretty bad shape; they got up leaving to see their employer, they wanted their reward after this set of events.
When they arrived at the old building where they first meet their employer; they entered the main entrance to see Viper. "We did your job, and did it right" as the Paradox brothers switched; "so pay us now, or we will have to fight."
"You morons, you nearly gave up my identity and came close to destroying my plan. You may have gathered a ton of energy from that foolish boy. While this is essential to my plan, you created suspicion in that boy. You failed me, and as for that fact their can only be one reward…" Viper paused, pressing a button on a remote, dropping the brothers into a pit. Viper laughed as the trap door closed; "Never take a job you cannot finish properly. I will have to distract that boy away from my trail; I think Jaden shall be my next target."
