here's the second to last chapter.
Jaden and Jesse hurried to the hospital after they saw the news in their homes. After getting directions to a room, they found Atticus hooked up to a much of machines, surrounded by three people. Axle, AKA Doomfire, the Magma Red Dragon. Yusuke Fujiwara, AKA Vice, the Clear Dragon. And Aster, AKA Destiny End, the Blood Red Dragon.
The other three told Jaden what happened last night after Atticus got a hold of them, and by the end of it, Jaden was seething. Haou had done some dispicable things since they first joined the Iro Ryu, but he had gone too far this time.
"Ja...den...," Atticus said in a raspy voice. "The...box..."
Jaden saw the box, and opened it, gasping in shock. It was a sword with a guard shaped like a red dragon's head with the blade coming out of the mouth(AN: think Slifer the Sky Dragon's head with a blade coming out of its mouth).
"Makka no Kiba(AN: "Crimson Fang")."
"Jaden...please...save...my...little..."
As he tried to finish his sentence, he blacked out, but they knew what he was gonna say.
"You don't have to ask. I'll save her...or die trying."
~Meanwhile, at the Iro Ryu's base~
We find Zane Trusdale in front of a guest house for the mansion with the windows barred and the doors inside locked to make sure Alexis can't escape. We find her throwing items around trashing the room trying to find a way out and to make sure her brother is alright. "You need to stop that before you hurt yourself, Jaden would never forgive himself if something happened to you."
"I need to make sure that Atticus is alright, he was bleeding from that blast please let me go and see him," Alexis crying into the door as she slumped from exhaustion.
"Listen I have known Jaden for several years and if anything he hates is rape against women. He will not only be there tonight but he will fight tooth and nail to make sure that you get out of there without harm."
"Why are you doing this?" Alexis asks after she calmed down. "I'm doing this so my brother doesn't get hurt but when I can I will make sure Haou can never hurt anyone again."
Fairy walks up with a tray of food for Alexis to eat, and as soon as Fairy left, Zane saw a tuft of brown hair before a paper airplane was thrown to him. He saw it had Alexis's name on it. Knowing what the former claw wanted, he put the note under a plate. When he gave Alexis her food, she was so mad, she didn't notice the note until she had finished eating the rice. Picking it up, she started to read.
'Don't worry, Alexis. I'll beat Haou and free you. Atticus was able to call in friends, and one's got connections that'll end the Iro Ryu and punish Haou for his crimes. I know that may seem harsh...but my brother was lost years ago, and as much as I hate to say it...I don't think he's ever coming back. But I will save you, and Haou kidnapping you not once, but twice has me madder than I've ever been before. And that's because I... I love you.'
Alexis paused at that part to gasp. 'He...loves me?' She didn't want to admit it, but she did think Jaden was cute. She pushed that aside for now and continued reading.
'That's why me and Midori tried as hard as we could to get you to see me, the real me. It's also why I saved you as Osiris. I was afraid you'd think me and Chazz staged the whole thing, and I didn't want to hear you say such hateful things. I'm really sorry. If I had just been honest from the beginning, none of this would of happened. I'm going to make it right though. I'm gonna defeat Haou and free you, or die trying!'
Alexis started to feel tears falling down her cheeks.
"Damn you, as if you hadn't made me upset enough about Atticus, now you go and tell me all this? You better win."
Zane simply smiled, happy to have helped two young lovers.
wow, huh? yeah, major build-up.
