Hiya peoples! Thanks for all the reviews! I'm glad you guys like it so far. Don't worry, this chapter is less sad than the other!

Disclaimer: You know when on your birthday when you blow out your candles, you get a wish? Well, last birthday I wished I could own Yu-Gi-Oh! GX and it's characters. The candles failed! So, obviously, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX and it's characters are not owned by me.

Claimer: I own this idea and title.

"Poor Jaden." Alexis said out loud. She, Syrus, Hassleberry, Bastion, Chazz, Blair, and Aster were all sitting in the Slifer cafeteria. Syrus nodded.

"Yeah, I've never seen him freak out so badly before." Syrus said in a said voice. Chazz snorted.

"Of course he's going to freak out! Finding out your best friend might be dead would freak anyone out." Chazz said, folding his arms across his chest. Alexis sent Chazz a "watch it" look. He merely shrugged it off.

"I'm worried. He's been gone awhile." Blair pointed out. Everyone looked at the door. The winded blew hard against the dorm, causing it to creak.

"Just let him be…he needs some time alone." Aster said. Everyone nodded slightly.

xXx

"How could this happen?" Jaden asked Yubel in a shaky, tear filled voice. Yubel, who had materialized beside Jaden when he had his breakdown, lovingly smoothed his hair.

Things just happen. You can't explain them or try to stop them. Yubel comforted. Jaden shot her a sour look.

"What's the point of having this weird power to keep the light of destruction at bay if I can't even protect the one I love!" Jaden yelled. Yubel sighed and continued to stroke Jaden's hair.

Blaming yourself will do nothing Jaden. You must just hope and pray that somehow, he survived.

Jaden looked down at the ground. He felt tears forming in his eyes again.

"I can't…" Jaden whispered in a defeated tone. He choked a breath and started to sob in his arms, which were folded against his knees.

Shush little prince…everything's going to be alright…shush, shush. Yubel comforted, gently pulling Jaden into her arms. Jaden sobbed into Yubel's chest. The sky poured rain down on the earth harder, as if trying to match Jaden.

Winged Kuriboh sat a couple of feet away from Jaden and Yubel. He didn't know what to do but he had to do something! His master was in pain and he couldn't think of anything to make him not be sad. He was the hero of the story! Hero's shouldn't cry…

KURI! Winged Kuriboh cheered, a plan forming in his mind. He jumped up and hover/flied in the direction of Jaden's dorm. Yubel watched the fuzz ball fly away, chirping happily at his brilliant plan.

What are you planning fuzzy one? Yubel wondered in thought. She couldn't follow Winged Kuriboh, however, with the shaking figure she held in her arms. She looked down at Jaden sadly. Please Jesse, please be alive…for Jaden's sake…

xXx

Winged Kuriboh flew through Jaden's dorm door and into his room. He chirped loudly and flew around the room in a quick, circular pattern. All of Jaden's Neo Spacians appeared.

What's the matter Winged Kuriboh? Aqua Dolphin asked. Winged Kuriboh flew up and settled himself on the top bunk. All gazes were fixed on him. Winged Kuriboh told them everything.

The Spacians looked at each other in shock.

Jesse's…dead? Blank Panther said in disbelief. Kuriboh chirped some more.

Wait…he's not dead? Air Hummingbird asked, slightly confused. Kuriboh let out an exasperated sigh and repeated himself.

Ohh…we don't know if he's one or the other. Flare Scarab said. Winged Kuriboh nodded. Neos looked Winged Kuriboh.

Jaden's not taking this news very well, is he? Neos asked. Kuriboh's eyes clouded over in sadness. He chirped sadly and nodded.

What can we do then? Ground Mole asked. Winged Kuriboh smiled and told all the Spacians his plan.

Ah…very cleaver Winged Kuriboh. Aqua Dolphin said. Kuriboh smiled happily. Everyone looked at Neos.

I guess it's up to you Neos. Can you handle it? Aqua Dolphin asked. Neos nodded.

I'll be back soon. Neos said. Everyone nodded. With that, Neos shot through the roof and disappeared, taking off in an unknown direction. All the Spacians looked at each other.

I hope we're not too late. Flare Scarab said. Everyone nodded. Aqua Dolphin looked up at the ceiling.

The only thing we can do is put our faith in Neos. He's never let us down before and he certainly won't start now. Aqua Dolphin said. The spirits nodded, trusting in both Aqua Dolphin and Neos. They disappeared and Winged Kuriboh flew back off towards the woods.

The sun broke over the horizon, sending blinding light onto a certain bluenette's eyes.

He moaned, only wanting to go back to sleep when a terrible pain ripped though his body. He howled in pain and wrapped his arms around his chest.

"Mates! He's awake!" A certain Australian voice cheered. The bluenette felt someone shaking him.

"Wake up Jesse." A stern voice ordered. Jesse moaned again but complied with the voice. He slowly opened his eyes, the sunlight burning his retinas. Jesse's arm flew up to protect his eyes from the blinding light.

When his eyes finally adjusted to the blinding light, Jesse took in his surroundings.

Jim and Axel were staring at him, worry in their eyes. Shirley was lying down next to Jim. She looked exhausted. A few other people, people Jesse didn't recognize, sat around them. One of them looked like the captain of the ship but Jesse wasn't sure.

"What happened?" Jesse asked his voice weak. His throat ached with every word.

"The ship had a power failure of some sort and then we were hit by a tidal wave. The ship sunk mate." Jim said. Jesse tried to sit up but pain once again shot through his body. He grunted in pain and slipped against the side of the life boat.

"Don't more." Axel ordered. "You took a serious beating when the ship was flipped." Axel said. Jesse looked at him.

"How did we survive?" Jesse asked, though his throat begged him not to, but he needed to know. The last thing he remembered was Cobalt Eagle telling him they were in big trouble. Jim sighed.

"We were flung through my window when the ship turned, you first, and we landed about five hundred yards or so from the ship. It flipped and went under by the storm. After that, the storm just stopped. Creepy, but lucky for as. Anyway, Axel and I were still concuss and noticed a few other people floating around. We looked but couldn't find you. Luckily for us, a life boat somehow survived and floated by us. We climbed in and grabbed all the other survivors." Jim explained. He gestured to the people behind him.

"After that, we looked around for you. Finally, when we running out of room to look, Shirley found you. Jim had let her in the water to help with the search. She brought you to us and you were like this." Axel said, gesturing to Jesse's bloodied and torn clothes. Jesse reached his foot out and gently rubbed Shirley's snout. She roared lightly, as if saying "you're welcome". Jesse looked around.

"What do we do now?" Jesse asked. No one spoke.

"We don't know." Jim said.

"But what we do know is that we won't survive very long out here at sea and you need medical attention." Axel said. Jesse looked at him. Axel was pretty beat up himself, Jim too. In fact, everyone who was on the boat needed medical attention, but Jesse knew what Axel meant. Jesse was in the worst shape and he needed to be looked at and tended to.

"Are we just going to wait here?" Jesse asked. Axel and Jim shrugged.

"We don't have any other choice." They said in unison, their tones grim. Jesse frowned, and looked back up at the once again cloudless sky.

Stupid sky…

xXx

Jaden felt warm and toasty. He was wrapped up in something soft and familiar smelling. He slowly opened his eyes, immediately registering that he was back in his dorm. He sat up slowly, looking around the room.

How did I get in my room? Jaden wondered.

Hassleberry carried you here after Winged Kuriboh went and told the Ojamas that you fell asleep. Yubel explained, appearing in Jaden's desk chair. Chazz wasn't thrilled when the three started yammering at a million words per minute. Jaden looked at her.

"Was it a dream?" Jaden asked, hoping she'd say yes. Yubel's face softened, comfort cloaking her eyes.

No, I'm afraid not. Yubel said. Jaden sighed

"Of course not. That'd be too easy." Jaden mumbled. Yubel appeared next to Jaden. She rubbed the base of Jaden's head, soothing away all of his aches and pains, causing his mind to slowly shut down.

Rest Jaden…that's all you need right now. Yubel said, pushing Jaden down so he'd lie back down. Jaden frowned at Yubel.

"No Yubel. What I need right now is to know Jesse is alive." Jaden stated. Yubel pushed a stray hair out of Jaden's face.

You'll know Jaden…soon enough.

xXx

Neos flew quickly through the air, scanning the ocean for any sign of Jesse.

Come on…I know you're out there. Neos thought bitterly. He needed to find Jesse. He wasn't going back to Duel Academy until he had found him…or a sign of where he might be. As if fate could read Neos' mind, Cobalt Eagle flew right into Neos. Both of them were knocked in the direction they were coming from. Both shook their heads and looked at each other.

Neos! Thank god I've found you! Cobalt said in a relieved tone. Neos nodded.

I can say the same thing about you. What are you doing? Neos asked.

Jesse sent me to go find some help. Odd how a spirit such as myself could find someone but I did as asked. Luckily I found you. Cobalt explained. Neos looked behind Cobalt.

Where is everyone? Neos asked.

On a small life boat. Jim, Axel, Shirley, and five other survivors are fine but Jesse needs medical attention. Cobalt explained. Neos nodded.

Alright Cobalt, follow me. I have a plan. Neos ordered. Cobalt nodded. Neos looked at Cobalt. And try to keep up. With that, Neos was gone like Superman! ((Leave my puns alone!))

Cobalt blinked a moment but took off, just as fast as Neos. Both spirits were headed in one direction…

Domino City.

Syrus, Chazz, Hassleberry, Bastion, Aster, Blair, and Alexis sat in their Alchemy class. Jaden had skipped for the day, though no one could blame him. The entire class seemed to be like the living dead. Syrus leaned over to Alexis.

"Do you think they found any survivors yet?" Syrus asked. Alexis shrugged.

"I don't know. Hopefully." Alexis said. Syrus nodded. Their teacher continued to drown on about symbols and chemicals and materials and equivalent exchange…whatever that is. ((FullMetal Alchemist Moment!))

Suddenly, the teacher's ranting was muted by the roaring of a jet engine. Everyone looked up at the window, wondering where the sound was coming from.

As if the bell was worked by the will of the school's students, it rang. Everyone ran out before their teacher, whose name they never cared to learn, could stop them or give them homework.

They ran outside just in time to see a slick, black jet plane land on the ground. The door flew open and out jumped some paramedics. All of Jaden's friends looked at each other and ran over to the jet. Just everyone was about to reach the jet, Chancellor Sheppard and Ms. Fontaine ran over to it.

"How is he?" Chancellor Sheppard asked a paramedic.

"Not so good. We need to get him to the infirmary ASAP!" The paramedic said. Chancellor Sheppard nodded and gestured for Ms. Fontaine to come closer.

"This is Ms. Fontaine, our school nurse. She'll show you the way and help you in any way she can." Chancellor Sheppard said. The paramedic nodded.

"Lower him down!" The paramedic called. A gurney was gently lowered into the awaiting hands of the paramedics below. Everyone recognized that hands lowering the gurney. However, this isn't what shocked them the most.

What shocked them the most was who was ON the gurney.

xXx

"Jay! Jay wake up!" Syrus yelled, slamming the door to Jaden's room open. Jaden groaned at being woken up and rolled onto his side, hoping for the land of sleep to reclaim him mind, body, and soul.

"No Jay! You have to wake up!" Syrus yelled. He ran over to Jaden and ripped the sheet away from the stubborn brunette. Jaden glared up at the light haired bluenette. A deadly glare.

"What do you want Sy!" Jaden spat acidly. He didn't want to get up now, or any time for that matter. When he was awake, the reality of Jesse stuck him like a frat train.

"It's Jesse! He's here! And alive!" Syrus yelled happily. Jaden looked up at his friend in shock.

"Jesse…here…alive…" Jaden stammered, joy and relief flooding through his body. Syrus nodded.

"Yeah! And Jim and Axel too! They're in the infirmary!" Syrus said. Jaden shot to his feet and bolted out the door in the direction of the infirmary. Syrus blinked a moment.

"Woh…why can't he get up like that in the morning?" Syrus pondered out loud. He shrugged and ran out of the room. Neos and Aqua Dolphin appeared in the room. Winged Kuriboh sat on Jaden's desk. Yubel was sitting casually on Jaden's bunk.

You did good fuzzy one. Yubel congratulated. Winged Kuriboh chirped happily. Yubel looked over at Neos. You too. Neos shook his head.

It is Cobalt Eagle that deserves your praise, not I. Neos said. Yubel chuckled lightly.

Either way, it was you that went to Grandpa Moto, where Yugi Moto happened to be, who happened to be able to see you, and who also happened to have Pegasus' number on his speed dial. Which evolved into Pegasus having a pair of paramedics at his company because one of his workers was hurt by a machine, and who also happened to have a very fast jet, waiting for him. Yubel said. Aqua Dolphin looked at her.

Perhaps fate is playing a sick, twisted game. Aqua Dolphin said. Yubel shrugged.

Whether fate is playing a sick, twisted game doesn't matter one bit to me. What matters is that Jaden can finally tell Jesse how he truly feels… Yubel broke off. The spirits nodded and disappeared, leaving only an empty room where a broken hearted brunette laid only a few moments ago.

xXx

Okay, weird little ending but hey, I'm a little weird. See! Jesse's alive! –smiles- I happy now. Alright, just one more part to go. Hopefully I'll get that up tomorrow. If not, then it will be here shortly after or this weekend. Hopefully I don't have school again tomorrow! ((Fog delays rule!)) –crosses fingers-

Remember to review!
