*before that with Jaden*

Jaden looked up and look right into Haou's eyes and froze. His eyes were completely emotionless. He tried to look away but the vast emptiness of Haou's eyes drew him in and before Jaden knew it he was walking forward till he was with in arms length of Haou.

"You see we are drawn together; no matter how you try to turn away, no matter how you try to run you will never get too far. We are connected." Haou said tauntingly reaching out to hold Jaden's chin in his hand causing Jaden to shiver involuntarily.

Jaden would have been stuck like that forever if it wasn't for Winged Kuriboh freaking out in his cage trying to reach Jaden in any way he could.

"KURIIIIIII!"

Jaden snapped his head up and noticed exactly just how close he was before turning to high tail it out of there. But before he could get more than a foot he turned right into a mirror causing him to stop dead in his tracks. No one could see exactly what it was that Jaden was seeing; but whatever it was he was frozen in place once again. You could see pure terror in his eyes as he tried to back away only for Haou to come up behind him and gently but firmly grab a hold of his shoulders and hold him in place.

"Don't turn away from the truth Jaden. This is who you truly are. This is what we can do and no one can stand in our way. We can accomplish so much as one; don't make me take away your will to fight. You know I can if I so choose to, but I wish so much that you and I could take this world as ours together. Those insignificant beings are not worth your heart. They are unworthy of your care. You are a superior being to them. You are a prince of the lost kingdom of Neos. You are the vessel in which my power is to flow; to create or destroy whatever we wish." Haou said into Jaden's ear as Jaden continued to stare at the phantom images in the mirror before him.

If one was to look through Jaden's eyes they would see exactly what Haou had placed before Jaden. At first it was the many of the words told to him by Viper and the adults around him turned around once again to attack him. Telling him how he was a selfish duelist who only dueled for himself and that he only exploited others for his own personal gain. Then with Haou's next words the images changed to reshow his duel in which his friend's souls were put up as a sacrifice. All to bring forth the super polymerization card only for them to be sacrificed in vain because there wasn't enough to create it; all showing how Brron exploited Jaden's love for his friends to drive him over the brink of despair. Then came how, by using his anger, he destroyed Brron.

During all of this Jaden never looked away his whole being transfixed on what Haou was telling him and what he was before him. Then as Haou stopped speaking in his ear the scene continued on to what happened next in chronological order.

The scene then continued to show how the rest of his friends seemingly abandoned him in his darkest hour. And of course Haou's words to Jaden about how he could finish the super polymerization card and make its power his. Thus letting the ruler of the dark world, the Supreme king to posses him and take control.

Then something unexpected was shown before Jaden. It was his duel with Yubel; but only a certain part; the part where he used the power of the Supreme king to help destroy her monsters with his power.

"You see now Jaden don't you? You see what you truly are and what we are together. We are the Supreme king; we are the true rulers of the 12 dimensions. Join me Jaden. Join me and you will never feel pain again. You will never be hurt by another person again. Join me and this nightmare will end." Haou said causing more image's to play across the screen again at the end of he's speech.

"But you'll hurt people, my friends." Jaden was finally able to say. The hypnotizing sound of Haou's voice and the phantom images on the mirror were hard to pull away from long enough to articulate a statement let alone a lone sentence.

Jaden didn't want to give in but it was becoming hard to resist as his sorrows began to weigh down on his mind and heart. On top of that he was so tired; so very tired. Tired of living with these burdens and so tired of having to keep going on. He just wanted to lie down and rest. Just rest and to not get back up. Why couldn't someone else deal with all this pain? Why only him? Why was all this happening again; he couldn't take much more grief and pain. Haou's offer was becoming so much easier to give in to. He could just let go and let Haou do all the rest. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad this time. Maybe Haou wouldn't hurt people this time. He was just so tired. Maybe if he just laid down for a bit he could think more clearly.

Jaden's eyes began to droop as these and other thoughts ran through his foggy mind. He was totally exhausted both mentally and physically. Even in a comma his body was still trying to recover from being so sick and run down and Haou wasn't helping. It was getting to the point that, once again, Jaden was starting to wobble and not be able to stand on his feet. Haou seemed to be the only thing that was holding him up. Haou smiled.

"Come now Jaden why don't you sleep. You're so tired; you need your rest. Don't worry I won't hurt you, you know I can't, just lay back and rest." Haou whispered to Jaden hypnotically. Jaden couldn't resist he was so tired. He tried to keep his eyes open but it was like a force was pushing his eyes close and he couldn't push back.

"No I can't, but I'm so tired. So tired." Jaden almost mumbled.

"Oh Jaden it's ok just close your eyes. You don't have to fight anymore if you don't want to; just touch the mirror in front of you and everything will be alright. You can sleep as long as you like. Just touch the mirror and you can rest." Haou said has he lifted Jaden's arm up. Jaden was so tired that he didn't even try to resist. What would a little sleep hurt? He just couldn't fight anymore.

And with that Jaden put the tips of his fingers on the mirror and everything went black as he fell limp in Haou's arms. Jaden closed his eyes only to open them back up. Only instead of his usual milk chocolate eyes they were replaced with Haou's ominous yellowish gold colored eyes.

"Everything's alright now Jaden; just rest and I'll take care of the rest." Haou said with a smirk as he carried Jaden over to a throne that appeared before him. He then sat down with Jaden laying against his leg while rubbing the younger boy's hair soothingly as Jaden drifted farther away in his awakening dream world that Haou had him trapped in.

"Now we just await our other uninvited guest to arrive." Haou said to no one in particular as he waited for Jim and Yubel to arrive.

and now everything is caught up chronologically...i think...*shrugs*

see ya in the next chapter
