"Your friend is a real fighter. She has a warrior's spirit, a flame of life that we have not seen in generations," the Elder from the destroyed village said. Emma smiled at him.

"Akaria's always been very strong," she said. The Elder smiled at her and nodded.

"Yes. She will survive, but I do not know when she will be conscious again," he said. Jesse looked up at him. His face was pale and he had large bags underneath his eyes. He sat on the ground next to Jaden's legs. Jaden was sitting on a log that Jesse was in front of. A blanket was around Jesse's shoulders. His shirt had been removed and a white bandage was wrapped firmly around his chest. It was tinted red in the place where Jaden had stabbed him with his own sword.

"It's okay. We can't leave yet anyway, not until I have regained more of my strength," he said. Jaden frowned and ran his fingers through Jesse's hair. He turned his head to look at Jaden, whose hand was still in his teal locks. He smiled at Jaden, who smiled back at him. He then turned his head away from the brown eyed boy who saved his life and dropped his head onto Jaden's lap, closing his eyes in weariness. Jaden just smiled again and continued to run his fingers through his hair. Jim watched this out of his one good eye and smiled.

"Do we have to worry about any Duel Monsters attacking this village?" Blair asked, looking at the Elder of this village. He shook his head.

"No. Even though that demon Johan destroyed our Protective Charm, we have a powerful Mage who has the power to create a new charm even more powerful than the last," he explained. Everyone relaxed, feeling much safer now that they knew there was no chance of another attack.

"Protective Charm or not, it still has no effect on me or my sister," a dark voice called from the rooftop. Jaden gasped, recognizing the voice as the one that was in the dark thrown room back at the castle. Everyone looked up to see a dark figure with lifeless honey brown eyes standing on the roof. It possessed no real from, only its eyes were recognizable as something human. Yubel stood behind the dark shadow.

"You cannot enter the village! It is impossible! You never have been able to!" the Elder of the destroyed village gasped. The dark figure laughed darkly.

"You damn fool! We only pretended that we couldn't enter a village with a protective charm. We are not like any of these puny monsters in this realm, but a pair of powerful Dark Demon Angels," the figure said. Everyone gasped. Jesse growled and forced himself into a crouched position, standing protectively in front of Jaden. His Crystal Katana was once again at his hip. The dark figure saw this and laughed. "You make me laugh, Crystal Warrior. But you have not the strength to stand. What makes you think you have the strength to protect him?"

"Because I have to protect him," Jesse answered with a snarl. True, he was weak after his entire ordeal, but everyone could practically see the power radiating off of him and it only continued to grow. Everyone was in awe, especially Jaden. But Yubel and the dark figure were not.

"You do not need to protect him you bloody fool! He can protect himself! He was doing a damn fine job in my castle without you or his sword," the figure said. Jesse stared at it confused.

"What?" The figure snickered.

"You do not know? OH! This is delicious! You are such a fool to not have figured out our interest in your friend there, Crystal Warrior."

"And just what is your interest in Jaden then?"

"Yubel needs you to become Johan and I need him to become Judai, as he is the Cosmic Warrior." Everyone gasped, knowing all about Judai and the Cosmic Warrior. Jesse turned to stare at Jaden in shock. Jaden had his gaze focused on the ground.

"Jaden? Do you know something about this?" he asked. Jaden didn't answer. Jesse, forgetting all about the Dark Angels behind him, dropped to his knees and took Jaden's hands in his. He tried to get Jaden to look up at him, but he kept his gaze completely away from Jesse's searching gaze. "Jay, please talk to me." Jaden bit his lip and looked up into Jesse's eyes.

"Akaria told me last night and then, she gave me this." Jaden bent down and pulled the bag that Akaria had been carrying the entire trip toward him. He unzipped it and pulled out the Cosmic Katana. The kids gasped and Jesse's eyes grew wide. The sheath of the blade was dark like night and sparkled like the millions of stars in the sky.

"So that's why Akaria has been so weak. She was carrying a sword that was rejecting her and was growing weaker every second," Jesse whispered. Jaden frowned and tied the sword to his hip just like he had seen the kids and Jesse do. Everyone was so focused on Jaden that they did not see Yubel and the dark figure jump off the roof and land only a few feet from the two they desired.

"And now that everyone knows the truth, it is time for us to claim what is really ours," the figure said. Jesse turned to and grabbed the hilt of his sword preparing to fight. Whether Jaden had the Cosmic Katana or not, and despite the fact that he was the Cosmic Warrior, he still had no training as a fighter like Jesse did.

At least, as far as he knew he didn't.

"Take Jesse, Yubel. Jaden is mine." Yubel bowed slightly to the figure in front of her.

"Yes, Haou." With that, the Dark Angel launched herself at Jesse, causing him to flip out of the way and run from her. Then Haou began to lunge to Jaden, who did what Jesse just did to dodge. Haou smirked when he landed where Jaden just was. He was in a crouched position a few feet away, his Katana already drawn.

"Someone learned a few new tricks," he said. Jaden's eyes narrowed.

"Yeah, I did," he said. Haou smirked.

"Good." He then flew at Jaden and they began to fight.

"We have to do something!" Emma screamed. Keith and Justin nodded. Then all three of them made a motion to get up and help both their Captain and their Captain's crush, when they realized something very important.

"I can't move!" Justin cried, straining to move and not. Everyone then tried to move as well.

"I can't either!" Chazz yelled. Everyone else began to pipe in that they couldn't move either.

"This is Haou's dark magic. He does not want anyone to intervene so he has placed a spell on everyone aside from Jesse and Jaden that takes away their ability of motion," the Elder of this village said.

"Why not do it to Jesse and Jaden? Taking possession of them would be easier," Hassleberry said.

"It is impossible to use dark magic on the vessels to which they are trying to take possession of," the other Elder said. Everyone stayed silent, apparently accepting that answer but not liking it.

"You cannot fight me off much longer, Jaden. I'll admit you have learned quite a bit in such a short amount of time, but you still cannot fend me off like your boyfriend can," Haou said as Jaden flung him off again. Jaden was sweating and gasping for breath.

"I can fight you off better than you think," he spat, ignoring the boyfriend jab. Haou chuckled darkly.

"Oh, Jaden, I shall show you how wrong you really are." With that, Haou's eyes disappeared and suddenly the dark form he was became a fine mist. Jaden's eyes grew wide, his memory of this same mist flowing through his mind. Then, without realizing what was happening, his Katana slipped from his fingers and the mist surrounded him. Jaden cried out as he fell to his knees, clutching his chest in pain.

Jesse flipped away from Yubel and stared at Jaden in horror, screaming,

"Jaden! NO!"

xXx

OH NO! Is Judai coming?

You'll have to review to find out!
