-Oasis Dimension, Haou's castle-

Jaden was looking at a book about the twelve dimensions that were out there. So far he had read about the Desert, Wasteland, Skyland, and Dark World dimensions.

'Dark World…that's where my brother is at right now,' thought Jaden before closing the book. He was sitting right by at a window where he could see the town in the far-off distance.

"Man," Jaden sighed, dramatically, "There's nothing to do around here! I can't believe Aqua left me here in the library while she had to go to the market in town. Got any ideas pal?"

Winged Kuriboh looked at him before jumping up and down and signaled Jaden to follow him. The brunette shrugs his shoulders before going after his small partner.

The winged duel monster took him outside to the training grounds where young recruits were being trained to duel or how to wield a sword.

"I guess dueling is really important here," murmured Jaden as Winged Kuriboh landed on top of his head. "Do you want me to learn how to use a sword?"

"Kuri! Kuri!"

Jaden laughed, nervously, "Pal, you get crazy ideas sometimes. Me? Learning how to use a sword? I never even held a weapon before let alone a sword…they look kind of heavy."

"You have no idea how right you are."

Jaden jumped a bit before turning his head to see his older brother standing not too far from him. He had taken his helmet off but was still clad in his armor.

"H-Haou…y-you're back," stuttered Jaden. "Um…where's, um, Johan?"

"Still in the Dark Dimension," replied Haou. "He will come back once he deals with the Southern village there."

Jaden frowned.

Aqua had told him all of what had been happening for the past twelve years. Besides trying to find him, his older brother had been fighting and killing off any Light of Destruction followers in different dimensions.

"Well…" said Jaden as he bit his lip. Without a second thought, the young brunette hugged his brother's waist, "It's great to see you again, big brother."

Haou stood there for a second before wrapping his arms around his younger brother. "Come on, let's head inside. I need to get rid of this armor," he said, softly.

Jaden nodded before letting go of his brother's waist and grabbed his brother's hand. Haou smiled a bit and guided his brother to his room where he took off the black armor and changed into some clean clothes.

Jaden was sitting on Haou's bed, holding onto Winged Kuriboh.

"How long ago did you wake up?" Haou asked as he finished changing.

"Um, not too long ago," replied Jaden before smiling. "Aqua and Lily said that my back is all healed up which why they allowed me to walk around the castle."

"That's good to hear…where's Aqua?" Haou asked as he sat next to his brother.

"She said something about going to the marketplace because she was running out of healing herbs," replied Jaden.

Haou nodded before realizing something. "We need to get you some new clothes. You can't always borrow my old ones."

Jaden made a face, "I'd rather use your old clothes then go clothes shopping."

Haou chuckled, "True, but I don't picture you wearing dark clothes little brother. If memory serves me, you favor the color red."

Jaden blushed a bit, "Mm, you're right. Dark doesn't suit me. So, when do we go?"

Haou smirked, "Follow me."

Jaden followed Haou through a series of hallways until they reached a two glass-like doors. When Haou opened the doors, Jaden could see different fabrics, lining, and measurements everywhere.

"Mary, you here?" Haou called out.

A woman with long blond hair and light blue eyes came out. She was wearing a blue vest, a long white shirt and brown shoes. "Oh! Your majesty and Prince Jaden, what a pleasure seeing you here," she said with a curtsy. "What can I do for you two?"

"My brother needs a new wardrobe, Mary," replied Haou before looking over to Jaden. "This is Mary, Jaden. Back then, she was the apprentice of the last tailor before she took over the position a few years back."

Mary giggled, "It's great to have you back, Prince Jaden…though, it's quite strange seeing you wear your brother's dark clothes. Naturally, you show such brightness, not like the King."

Haou glared at her but didn't say anything.

Mary rolled her eyes, "Well then, Prince Jaden, would you mind coming up here and stand on the stool so we can begin."

Jaden nodded and step forward before being told to lift up his arms while Haou took a seat nearby. At first, it wasn't that bad but about 30 minutes, Jaden's arms were getting tired.

"Are we done yet?" Jaden asked.

"Almost, my Prince," murmured Mary, taking another measurement. "Just like the King, you two don't seem to like getting your measurements done for some odd reason."

Haou glared, "Because it's a waste of time, Mary…and you know why I hate taking my measurements."

"Oh, that happened five years ago, can't you just let that go already," said Mary as she was taking Jaden's right arm measurements.

This caught Jaden's attention, "What happened?"

Mary giggled while Haou turned his head around to hide his blush.

"Your brother was getting rather impatient and moved when one of the other assistants was using the pins to hold onto the gold trimmings and got struck in the process."

Haou gritted his teeth, "It was Charlotte's fault! She didn't warn me about the pin!"

Mary rolled her eyes before clapping her hands. "All done young Prince, I will have everything ready in two days, but I'll have a few sets of clothes ready for you in 2 hours. Would you like to have them all in red?"

Jaden sighed in relief, dropping his hands before thinking. "Um…red and white with a bit of black…I guess."

"I'll see what I can do, my Prince," said Mary, winking.

Haou got up and walked up to his brother. "I'll have someone pick up the finished clothes later," said the older brunette before guiding his younger brother out of the room rather quickly.

"Wait! Your majesty! Is it not your time to – and he's gone," said Mary, shaking her head. "I guess I need to get Aqua to bring him here…again."

Meanwhile Haou slowed down his pace before looking down at his brother. Jaden looked at him rather confused.

"I…really don't like being in that room. Now any ideas what you want to do before lunch? I have nothing scheduled until Johan returns."

Jaden grinned, "Horseback riding! Aqua showed me how to ride one and I want to see if I can beat you in a race!"

Haou had a playful smirk on his face, "Ah, I see that Aqua has told you my racing days when I was 18, correct?"

Jaden nodded, excitedly as he waited for his brother's reply.

Haou sighed before smiling, warmly, "Alright, but one race little brother, as you are just a beginner. Maybe later on, I can help you with your riding lessons."

Jaden grinned, happily and dragged his brother towards the stables. Haou ordered the stableman to get the horses ready. Haou's was a black stallion while Jaden was given a white horse.

The two brunette's raced around the castle grounds while a few staff members and duel monsters were watching the race with a grin in their faces.

The staff vows to protect the young Prince this time around as they enjoyed having their King happy once again rather than that cold and emotionless persona.

-Dark World, Infirmary-

Jesse slowly woke up and sat up from the bed before rubbing his head.

"W-What…happened?" he murmured before looking around. The room was unfamiliar to him...then it hit him – he was trying to find Jaden, his friends coming along with him and…and remembering who he really was.

"Now I know why I can see duel monster spirits," murmured Jesse before getting out of bed. He was alone in the room and there was not much to see aside from the balcony to his left. Jesse got up and walked out to see what was going on outside. There were a bunch of dark attributes roaming around the stronghold. "Haou is sure got some followers," he murmured.

"Most of the stronger warriors are not here, they're near the Southern village."

Jesse freaked out and turned around to see his older brother standing at the doorway. "Don't do that, Johan! You scared the living crap out of me!" he cried.

Johan laughed, "Glad to have you back, little bro. Come on, I have a feeling you don't want to stay here any longer but stay close, understood?"

Jesse nodded and followed Johan out of the infirmary before noticing something. "Where's Haou?" he asked.

"Mm...Oh, he headed back to the Oasis Dimension," replied Johan. "He felt like he wasn't needed here so he left me in charge while he went back to take care of Jaden."

Jesse widened his eyes, "J-Jaden?! You found him?! Is he alright? What about his back?"

"Easy there, little bro," said Johan as he stopped walking. "Yes, we did find him…or rather Harpie Lady did. I'm not sure about his back, but the last time I asked Haou, he said that it was healing so by the time we return to the castle, he should be all fine."

Jesse let out a sigh of relief, "Thank goodness…so, when are we going back?"

"Once I deal with the Southern villagers…those fools," replied Johan before sighing. "They don't realize that they are defending followers of the Light of Destruction."

"Wait a moment! Is that what you've been doing? Only killing off those who are followers of the Light? Nothing more?" Jesse asked.

Johan nodded, "That's right and so far, we have killed off over 50 people and duel monsters that had the Light in them."

"Shouldn't you like tell the villagers why you're attacking? I mean they're all thinking wrong about you and Haou," said Jesse.

Johan shook his head, "If we did, then it would give the Light followers a chance to escape and find another village to hide. Haou thought it would be best to attack then explain afterwards to the survivors."

"If you put it that way, it doesn't sound entirely terrible what you guys are doing," said Jesse before panicking. "Brother, my friends came along with me to find Jaden, but I got separated from them. Do you know if any of your troops has encountered teenagers with duel disks?"

Johan was about to respond when one of Haou's elites, Guardian of the Labyrinth, came to him. "Lord Johan, we can't seem to go forth to the Southern village as they gained some new duelists to fight for their cause," reported the guardian.

Johan narrowed his eyes, "New fighters…this is troublesome, indeed."

"New…duelists..." murmured Jesse before walking up to him, "Tell me if one of those duelists has a crocodile strap behind his back!"

"Who are you to be asking me questions like that, you filthy human?" sneered the guardian. Johan glared at the duel monster before stepping forward and grabbing hold of his neck.

"That filthy human you are referring to is my little brother and he asked you a fucking question," said Johan, darkly before tossing him to the ground. "Now answer before you test my patience, solider!"

"Y-Your b-brother?! Forgive me, my lord! I – I didn't – ah, right, the duelists," stuttered Guardian of the Labyrinth as he got up from the ground. "Y-Yes, one of the duelists did have a crocodile strap on his back and had one of his eyes covered with bandages."

"Jim!" Jesse said before looking over at his brother. "My friends are there! Please let me get them out of there."

"If only I could," Johan replied. "But Haou said if anyone ever interfere, they're to be captured."

"No please, let me go and get them away from the fight," begged Jesse before looking down. "They…They're not just my friends, but Jaden's as well."

Johan pinched his nose before sighing, "…five minutes, if they are not out of the village by then, they will be captured, understood?"

Jesse nodded, "I…understand brother."

Johan turned to the guardian, "Get the troops ready and head to the Southern village for one final battle. Kill anyone that gets in your way, understood?"

Guardian nodded, "Yes sir!"

"Looks like this will be your first mission little brother. Be careful and whatever you do – don't step foot in the village at all!" Johan said, seriously.

Jesse bit his lip, "Yes brother…"

"Come, I believe your duel disk is in my command room," said Johan. The younger bluenette followed his brother to his room where he was giving his duel disk back.

"Be warned, summoning a duel monster outside of a duel, takes a lot of energy from the owner," explained Johan, seriously.

Jesse nodded before summoning Sapphire Pegasus and flew to the direction to the Southern village.

Throughout the trip, Jesse was feeling slight guilty on what he was going to do, but he had to make sure none of his friends were captured. He also knew that it would upset Jaden if any of their friends were hurt. 'Please forgive me guys, but what Haou is doing is not entirely wrong,' he thought.

Meanwhile Burgundy and Jim were getting ready to defend the entrance gates when Syrus came running towards them.

"Jim, good news! Ojama Yellow says that he might have spotted Jesse!" informed Syrus.

"You sure?" Jim asked as Syrus nodded. He smiled before looking over to his new friend, "Burgundy…"

"Go! Find your friend, but be careful! It could be a trap from Haou's men," warned Burgundy before going to the entrance gates of the village.

Jim and the others went outside of the village where they saw a familiar duel monster. It was Ruby Carbuncle who ran away from them.

"Wait! Ruby!" Alexis shouted.

They chased after her when they heard someone familiar.

"Ruby, there you are! Don't run off like that!"

"Jesse!"

The bluenette grinned, "Hey guys, long time no see!"

-Break Line-

Haou and Johan are reunited to their little brothers after twelve years of separation. Who know that Haou could smile? And what is Jesse going to do to stop Jim and the others? Why does he feel guilty? Wait?! Who is that mysterious stranger?
