A teardrop
fell down from Jesse’s cheek...
“I... I don’t know what to do...”
“... If only there was a way to fix
it...”
Suddenly, rumbling sounds were heard
by Jesse alone. The sun has not rose yet but will too in a few minutes, a black
whirlwind suddenly popped out of nowhere, only to know that it was...
“Darkness!!” shouted Jesse
“So we meet again crystal
wielder...”
“What’d you do to Jaden?!”
“Done? What have I done? It was
merely a simple process for a new Jaden to be born...”
“What do you mean?”
“When a person dies, its memories
gets cleared of, the exact same things that blocks people to see the truth. All
of the things its heart gets wipe out too; memories, moments, and even the
person’s personality...”
“If that’s the case then right now
he’s...”
“He’s nothing more than an empty
shell, a container waiting to be resurrected and reborn...”
“And don’t you lay a single finger
on him!!”
“I know that I can’t, your there but
what if I make a deal with you...”
“No, I’m not listening to whatever
your gonna say!!”
“A ‘chance’ is a thing that should
be given to all, even enemies...”
“Tsk, alright, I’m listening...”
“Darkness is such an amazing power,
it causes people pain, and it brings nothing but sadness and depression...”
“Some ‘amazingness’ that was...”
“And yet...”
“Hmm? And yet what?”
“...
it could give life back to the long gone...”
“?! Seriously?!”
“Yes, now here’s the deal, you give
me Jaden, I resurrect him back to life and return him here at Duel Academy, how
does that sound?’”
“And how does that benefit you?”
“I merely need complete information
on Jaden to complete my research, after that his all yours...”
“But I made a promise to him
that...”
“But don’t you wanna see your best
friend back to life? All happy and joyful, duelling with him day by day,
sharing stories until you graduate?”
“But...”
“There is no need to rush; after
all, I am quite considerate, I’ll give you three days to decide, after that, on
the following day, go back here, at the harbour, before sunrise, I’ll be
waiting to your uttermost response, Jesse Anderson...”
The sun rose up and Darkness faded
away, leaving Jesse speechless...
“What am I gonna do? Jaden I wanna
see you here beside me but...”
