Chapter 3.
Still Chazz's p.o.v.
Chazz flew out of the hole minutes after and found out he was in midair, and was falling towards the ground. Shit, falling through the sky what to do? I am gonna be as flat as a pancake. Luckily he didn't have to think about that for really long, a dark sphere appeared around him and stopped, in some way the fall. Actually as soon as he was 1 meter over the ground, the sphere suddenly let go of him and he hit the ground a little hard. Air got kicked out of the lungs for a while. He sneered and looked angry at the king who slowly floated down from the sky and landed beside him.
"Hey you could at least had let the sphere hit the floor, before making it disappear" He sneered at the king. Haou just smirked.
"Where is the fun in that?" He said "I need some fun as well". Chazz sneered, but decided not to comment that. He was looking around and saw.. nothing! They have been falling down from the sky, he was sure of it, but once again they were surrounded in this weird darkness. Chazz looked confused at Haou.
"Where.. what happened? We were falling from a blue sky just a minute ago I.. Wait are we in a place where the future never happened?" He questioned. Haou smirked.
"I like your guesses, but no you are wrong" He said coldly "True, this never happens, but that is because it doesn't exists. Not fully. You see my powers, the darkness, can create whatever I want to. This place is where I watch the future and in some way one of my homes. Beautiful isn't it?". Chazz shivered. He liked the ghost lesser and lesser. The darkness was apparently a part of him, which creeped him out. Secondly it was really shown Haou really didn't have any compassion for anything, which made him shiver even more. After all if he created everything with that darkness, why didn't he just make sure they were at the bottom when they appeared here in the first place? It couldn't just be for the fun of it, could it? Chazz actually didn't know what he should reply the king at first. Then he shook his head.
"No, I am not thrilled with all that darkness in here" He said slowly. Haou looked coldly at him, and Chazz wondered if he actually could get angry, since he after all didn't show any compassion. Then Haou smirked and hit his shoulder once.
"Good you are not lying. I hate liars, and I know when people lie" He said and his voice indicated that creepy dark amusement voice once again "Since you are, for now, my guest of honor, I will make my home less dark". He flicked his fingers and the darkness disappeared from the ground. They were now standing on a blue water surface, and wait was it shining because of crystal's in the water? Chazz was not fully sure. Seconds later they were surrounded by a star filled sky with a bright lit moon, indicating it was night. Chazz looked really surprised around. He figured the reason he could stand on the water, was because Haou didn't want him to drown.
"Well that should do it" Haou said and looked at Chazz "Less dark.. so hope you like itChazz!". Chazz tensed. He didn't like the way Haou said his name at all, but he did nod. This was really beautiful. Haou just snort to that.
"Okay let's get to business then" He said "You wanted to know about the future Christmas right? So what to show you first?". Chazz sneered.
"Listen I just want to see what happens to Selina.. if things stays like they are" He said quickly. He was not gonna spend more time with Haou, than he needed. That was for sure. Haou snort coldly and flicked with his fingers. The water rose up in the air and turned into some mirrors floating in midair. They surrounded Haou. Quick flashing pictures was shown in them and Chazz was getting dizzy just by looking at them. He couldn't figure out what he was seeing, but apparently the king could. He quickly touched on two or three of them. He was having a creepy look in the eye.
"Ah this one is properly something you want to see Chazz" He said and pointed at one of the mirrors. Chazz could feel the darkness push him over to Haou. Even if he wanted, he couldn't look away from the mirror or the picture who was surfacing there now. Haou wouldn't let him. Before he pushed Chazz in front of the mirror, he could remember him saying these words that made his blood freeze.
"This is after your death. You have written Mayo in your will, hope you like how it is turned out". Then he was pushed forward and hit the mirror, which made his eyes in some way glued to the mirror and the future vision who was beginning to show.
Chazz found himself standing in his office at the company. He had to remind himself that it was no longer his. If Haou was correct, this was after his death, which made him have this tight uneasy feeling in his stomach. He also quickly found out that he was transparent and apparently a ghost. Whatever he touched went through him.
"Yeah, you are a ghost" said a voice, Haou's voice, beside him. "In this world you can only observe. We can't change or do a thing. This is one of my favorite parts by the way". That made Chazz shiver like hell. If this uncaring king liked it, then it couldn't be anything good thing they were about to see. Chazz had just been thinking that, when the door to the Office opened and a herd of people walked in. 3 men, a future older Mayo and 2 body guards walked in here. The men looked like they were really angry.
"Miss Mayo Yuki you can't just buy our company without good reason and explanation" One of the men yelled. Mayo just snort and placed at the chair at the desk with a bored expression. Chazz eyes widened. He never seen Mayo so, so uncaring.
"I don't care, I have 60 percent of that company, which means I bought it" She said in a cold tone "How many times do I have to repeat myself?!". The men sneered.
"But.. But Ms. Yuki you're firing half of the company.." One of the men said "Where.. what is gonna happen to the employee who was working there?". Mayo smirked coldly.
"I don't care" She said "Your former company is my company now". Chazz looked shocked. This sounded like something he would do, but not sweet loving Mayo! He looked over at Haou. He was having a good time. He was leaning towards the wall and looked like he was waiting for something actually. Chazz sneered.
"What happened to her over the years?" He said "Why is she so..".
"Like you?" Haou said and smirked "She has traveled over the world after you broke up and saw that the world was not a nice place at all. Not for the poor. Years being on streets or living as poor, she had enough and wanted money, and she wanted it badly. Well let's say you had influence on her. She rose to money. Then one day she got the call you died and well now she is here..". Chazz looked shocked at Haou, then at his former uncaring girlfriend. He couldn't believe his caring Mayo became that cold person in the future.
"But Ms. Yuki you.. there must be something we can do. We are talking about 15 employee's here, most of them are awesome duelists". Mayo snort and leaned back in the chair.
"Duelists you say" she said and snort "We already have awesome duelists. That is the reason I will fire them. I don't need extra weight". The men yelled up, that their duelists was not dead weight and other stuff. Mayo leaned forward on the desk now.
"Are you implying that my duelist can't beat yours?" she said in a cold tone.
"No, um yeah" said one of the men. He looked uncomfortable. Chazz did as well. He was having a bad feeling about this. Mayo looked cold at them and smirked.
"Fine, let's see here, your company's duelist duels against one of mine and if one of them win, then all of your employees can stay" She said "If my duelist win then your employee's work for me for half their normal paycheck". Chazz eyes widened. However the men actually agreed to the terms and she called for that duelists. Chazz was praying, wishing with all his heart, that it was not that duelist she had called for. However when the door to the room opened, Chazz's heart skipped yet another beat. A older version of Jaden Yuki was standing at the doorstep and looked at Mayo. Then he bowed deeply.
"You called for me miss" He said in an uncaring tone. Mayo nodded.
"Yes, you shall beat this company's duelists for me an hour from now. You know the drill don't you Jaden!" she said in a sweet tone. Jaden lifted his head up and smiled at her.
"Yes of course. Anything to please the leader of the company" He said "Only one question though. Shall I beat them fast or painfully slow miss? What are you in the mood for?".
"I am in a mood for both, make a mix Jaden, then you are sweet" she said and grinned.
"Yes as you wish miss. You will not be disappointed" Jaden replied and bowed again. Then he left. Chazz looked shocked at Haou.
"What happened?" He yelled angry "Why is Jaden like this? Where is the happy, christmas loving Jaden I know, who is always smiling?". Haou smirked and moved away from the wall.
"Well that is your fault Chazz" he said and sounded so damn amused "2 years from the present, Selina got worse. She couldn't even get out of bed. They needed the operation right away. In a desperate attempt, Jaden sold himself to you, for the restly money. Only work related things of course. He belongs to you and future leaders of the company until.. well someone breaks his contract or he dies".
"No..! No! I didn't do this!" Chazz yelled "Jaden, I would never slave bind my own best friend!". Haou smirked evilly.
"Oh yes you did, at that time you wouldn't listen to him. You thought he was lying and that he was just try to cheat you off your money, so Jaden begged you.. he pleased himself to you and you gave him the money". Chazz looked in horror. He just couldn't believe it.
"Did I.. did I save the child?" He said in a cold tone. Haou hummed.
"Now why would I tell you that right away" He said "We have some other place to visit before that is shown". Then before Chazz could do a thing, he grabbed his shoulder and they disappeared from this mirror.
Scene change.
Minutes later Chazz had been pushed through another mirror and was standing in a old shop of some kind. Chazz couldn't remember if he ever had been here before or not. He turned to the king, who once again was standing beside him.
"Where are we now?" He asked in a sneering tone "Where did you sent me?". Haou smirked.
"A place you wanted to go Chazz" He said in a evil amused tone "I thought you wanted to know about the Yuki family. Well this is not them, but actually the home of Jesse and Ember, but you will meet that precious family soon". Chazz sneered. He decided that he didn't want to know what Haou meant by that. Suddenly he could hear knocking sounds at the door and light got turned on. A older Jesse walked down the stairs and seconds later he had opened the door and was meet with two young adults. A boy and girl with brown hair. It took Chazz some time figuring out that it was actually Seto and Jenna.
"Jesse, we are sorry to disturb you in the middle of night, but we need you and Ember's help" Seto said. Jesse sighed deeply. He hugged deeply the two children and tears was shown on them all three now. Then he let go of them and nod slightly.
"I will wake Ember" He said and smiled a sad smile "Wait on me, okay". Jenna and Seto nodded. Soon after Ember was downstairs as well, dressed in a old ragged coat. Jesse was as well. Them they rushed through the streets.
"Come Chazz, we will follow them" Haou instructed and darkness got placed around them. Seconds later he teleported them away.
Chazz found himself standing at the old house of the Yuki family, and it was clearly shown it had shown better days. Then a scream filled the night and Chazz had to cover his ears.
"What was that?" He questioned and looked at the king. Haou hummed.
"You will see my dear Chazz" he just replied and walked through the door to the house. Chazz hesitantly followed him.
"Zane! Zane please wake up!" said a voice Chazz knew pretty well. It was Tara's. He walked up the stairs and inside the room, who was Tara's and Zane, last time he was here. A dreadful sight was shown. He found Zane lying in bed with sweat dripping down his face. He was tossing and turning as well and couldn't seem to relax. However he was sleeping. Tara was sitting beside him, with a terrified expression, and was shaken him deeply. She was trying to wake him up. Tears was shown in her eyes through. Alexis was beside her, having a similar expression. They were both shaking him.
"Zane, Zane, please wake up. It is okay! I am here! Everything will be okay. Just please open your eyes" she said. However Zane let out yet another terrified scream. Chazz had to cover his ears once again. He looked over at Haou for an explanation. The king just shrugged a little and said "You will see!" and licked his lips. He was also looking at Zane with almost hunger filled eyes. Chazz was beginning to worry that, Haou actually would eat him if he could. It didn't make the current situation any better.
"Come quick" yelled some voices and the door to the house flew up. Footsteps could be heard and Jesse and co. rushed in here. All bowing down to the bed and the terrified screaming Zane. The others looked as scared as Tara did.
"Father, please" pleaded Seto "Please open your eyes". He had taken his hand. Zane slowly calmed a little more down. Ember touched his forehead and her eyes widened.
"Quick Jenna a bowl with some cold, cold water and a towel, he has a giant fewer" she yelled. Jenna nodded and rushed downstairs after just that. Jesse clenched his fists.
"You need to wake him" He said and looked at Tara "Give him a reason to.. Tara".
"Zane, please I love you" she said and shook him "I want you to be by my side. I love you and I forgive you. You know that, please just wake up". Zane tensed a little and stopped turning. Seto hugged him deeply.
"Please father, we are all here" He said "We just want you to wake from your nightmares".
"Everyone?" He whispered slowly "Jaden, Selina?". The others tensed.
"I am here as well" said a voice and at the doorstep Jaden was standing, smiling a tiny smile, but he did looked beat "I am home Zane, so everything is okay". Zane shivered, but then slowly he opened his eyes. He sat up, but sweat was still covering his forehead. Tara instantly hugged him together with seto. Jaden walked closer inside the room as well. Jenna rushed in here as well and placed the water near Ember. Then she noticed her father and quickly hugged him together with Alexis.
"Father you are home!" She said in disbelief "I thought never the company would let you go". Jaden just smiled a weak smile.
"I pleased them quite a bit today, by beating 15 duelist today" He said and sighed. He looked down at his hands "I feel so dirty. I am so ashamed. Dueling is not for showing up raw power...". He felt a hand on his shoulder and saw Jesse standing beside him now. Zane coughed a little and everyone looked over at him.
"You are at least better than me Jaden. Your duels hasn't anything with shock collars to do" He said weakly "I may be finished dueling underground, but the memories haunts me for the rest of the life. It makes me scream in the nights.. I am so sorry Tara I just wanted you to smile". Tara and everyone else hugged him deeply. It was a giant group hug. Then Jesse sighed deeply and let go of them.
"I know you will hate us properly" Jesse then said "But Ember and I have made a decision last night. Tomorrow we will leave the town and never come back here. I know we are cowards, but I can't stand staying in this city a minute longer. I just have to know if any would like to come with us!". Everyone went silence. Then Jaden hugged him deeply.
"Then go!" He said and smiled. Tears were falling down his cheeks though "If it was me, I would do it as well. You know if I could I would as well, but you know the restriction bands under my shirt, makes it impossible for me to leave town ever. To the cemesty is the clostest I can go to out of the city. But maybe everyone else should leave with them".
"No daddy!" Jenna said and hugged her father "I am not leaving without you".
"Oh my little princess" He said and hugged her "I think you should. Any place is better than this place. You and your mom should leave. Didn't you want to be a artists?". Jenna let out a big cry, but nodded. Alexis hugged her deeply. Her eyes was filled with sadness.
"Jaden, I love you" she whispered "But Ember and Jesse is right. You are right! I need to leave. We need to leave! This is hell". Jaden nodded and made her let go of Jenna. Then he kissed her deeply. Both had tears running down the cheeks.
"Be happy, that is all I ask of you" He said "I will carry you two in my hearts forever".
"Jaden I will stay with you!" Tara said slowly "We have been together since we were born and that is never gonna change". Zane coughed a little.
"If Tara stays so do I" He said "My body is damaged anyway, so I will spend my few living moments with my family and HER". He coughed again.
"I am not staying" said Seto suddenly "It is not that I don't love you all mom, father and uncle Jaden, but I hate this place. I want more with my life. I want to study Jura and be a lawyer. I will learn to break contracts and help the society, and I can't do it here. I want to break uncle Jaden's contract as well". Tara sniffed but nodded. Jaden smiled a little.
"I will look forward to that" He said "Even if you don't manage that before I die, then I know you can prevent stuff like this from at least happening". Seto nodded slowly.
"We will leave by sundown tomorrow" Jesse said and sighed "Everyone who wants to join us, meets at the north end of the down". The others nodded. Jesse hugged Jaden once again.
"I am sorry old friend. If we were living in a more fitting world, I will stay and be friends with you forever, but the poor has no change in this world. Only the rich does" He said. Jaden nodded. Soon after that Jesse and Ember left home to pack.
Chazz arrived back at the "Home" of Haou's seconds later. He was angry. He was shocked and.. no he was actually more furious. Furious on himself. This couldn't be their future. His former.. no his friends future. He couldn't believe it. He looked at Haou. It didn't help that Haou was so uncaring. So heartless about all that he, They, had been seeing. However sadly that was the case.
"You are not telling me that this is the future" He yelled at Haou "That this is what Jaden, Zane, Tara.. everyone looking forward to.. after my death!". Haou hummed.
"Hmm yes it is" He said in his monotone voice "That is how the future looks like if you don't change. Beautiful isn't it? So dark". Chazz sneered and grabbed a piece of the armor. He actually wanted to grab his collar in his clothes, but it was impossible because of the armor. He looked pissed at the king. Their eyes meet again.
"How can you be okay with all this?" He yelled "You are the ghost of christmas future. Aren't you suppose to protect christmas or something? How can you be so uncaring and heartless. They seriously need help". Haou smirked.
"Have I approved for you to grab me?" He said in a cold tone and pushed Chazz away. However he actually didn't sound so angry. His voice were having that dark amusement once again. Then he snort.
"I am the ghost of christmas future, you are right about that Chazz" Haou then said "But I am also so much more. Like the changing future, I am more than what it seems. Yes I do not care about christmas like the past and present. I presume you want me to be like that carefree Yubel, but I can't and I won't. The future is not for me to alter. After all if I took pity on every living soul who is gonna have a terrible future, then I will have a infinite job to fix. I am an observer and nothing more". Chazz looked shocked at him. Then he remembered. The future could change. As long as things was not in the past, the future could change.
"Fine then" He said slowly "Then send me back to the present. I have something I need to do. Actually a lot. As long as that future never happens". Haou snort a little.
"I am not finished with you" He said and pointed at the last mirror "I have one more thing to show you. You wanted to know about Selina right?". Chazz froze. If he remembered correctly then he hadn't seen her in any of the future visions yet.
"Yeah I still do!" He said "Tell me what happened to her..!". Haou smirked.
"Why tell you when I can show you?" He said and pushed Chazz through the last mirror.
Chazz landed hard on some dusty ground. He quickly got up and found out that he was at a cemetery. A creepy fog was surrounded this place and it made Chazz shiver.
"Where are we?" He asked the king. Haou snort.
"I thought you knew how a graveyard looked like Chazz!". He said coldly and told him to follow. They walked through the cemetery and passed by a lot of gravestones. It gave Chazz the shivers. At a hill he suddenly noticed something. Actually someone. Two persons was standing at a lonely grave and had one of them had just placed flowers at the grave. Chazz's heart skipped a beat. It was Jaden and Tara. They looked sad. Chazz ran towards the graveyard now and seconds later he was in reach, standing a couple of meters from the twins. Jaden had kneeled down and touched the placed flower and the earth. Tara was standing in the background and was crying. She was wiping her tears away with a couple of tissues. Jaden let out deep sign and looked up at his sister.
"Tara.. may I.. a speech?" He got out. Most of the words was stuck in his throat.
"Go ahead Jay.. I don't think I will could keep the tears away.. if I do it" she sniffed out.
"Thanks sis.." He said slowly and coughed "Hello Selina.. It is me uncle Jaden.. I am sorry that I am first talking to you now. Things had be a little problematic.. I am sorry that it is me talking though, you have properly been expecting your mom or father. But your mom are too upset and your father.. well um I think you shall be prepared for an extra bed in heaven soon. Even though he says he doesn't end in heaven. I don't believe him. How is going..? I am sorry I couldn't save you in time. If I just had been faster I..". Tears fell from his eyes now. He couldn't continue. Chazz looked shocked at the grave. He couldn't believe it, but on the name on the stone didn't lie. "R.i.p. Selina Truesdale".
"It is true Chazz" said a voice behind him and he noticed Haou "Selina is death".
"No! Jaden pleaded me. The money.. it should have saved her" Chazz screamed out.
"It was too late" Haou said "If he had done it 1 year or 2 years before Jaden begged you, she might could have been saved, but Jaden was to scared.. he didn't want to be bound to you. Selina got worse and he decided that her life was more important that his own, but sadly he was to late. She died some few days before the treatment. So ironic actually".
"No this can't be!" Chazz screamed and fell down on his knees.
"Jaden it is not your fault she is death" Tara said slowly and hugged her crying brother "I am sure, no I know she forgives you". Jaden let out a cry.
"No! She should never have died. I am bound to them.. to the company for life.. for nothing at all" He yelled "I thought when Chazz died and Mayo took over.. I thought she would break it, my contract, but sadly she had turned as twisted as Chazz. Maybe even worse".
"I know it looks bad, but you always says there is hope for tomorrow" Tara tried reassuring him. Jaden snort and got up.
"Yeah I did. There were a time I did believe in hope and justice" He said "But that was before I became slave to a place I hate. I hate my life.. I hate my job. If there is a merciful god or even a christmas spirit somewhere in this world, then they would never let this happen. I give up! I am done! Ahr I feel so frustrated!". He was about to kick the gravestone, when Tara placed protective arms around him.
"No! Jaden it is Selina's gravestone, please! She has done nothing wrong" She said "Kick something else.. like that gravestone over there". Jaden stopped up and got out of her grip. He looked over at the place she was pointing at. He sneered and clenched his fists. He rushed over to the grave, and hit and kicked it like hell.
"Ahr take that, and that and that" He screamed "You ruined my life! Take that and that". 5 minutes after he calmed down. The gravestone had lost a little of the edges, but was still standing. Jaden let out a relieved cry.
"Better?!" Tara questioned and smiled a little smile. Jaden let out a deep breath.
"Yeah, I wanted to do this for a long time" He admitted "Shall we go home?".
Tara nodded and soon after the twins left.
Chazz looked shocked after them. He was standing beside the little broken grave with a confused look.
"Who.. which grave did Jaden try to destroy?" He questioned and looked at the king.
"Why don't you take a look for yourself" Haou just said in a monotone voice. Chazz gulped inside and walked closer to the grave. He looked at the stone, but the name was difficult to read. The stone was covered in a lot of dust.
"Hu, this grave is so dusty, but the stone doesn't look that old" He said confused. He tried touching it, even through he knew he was a ghost and he indirectly couldn't touch it. He was drawn to it for some reason.
"No! Chazz don't touch it!" yelled two voices suddenly, but it was to late.
"Huh?" He said and looked confused around. His has was resting at the gravestone. Suddenly the ground was trembling. Chazz looked shocked around. Grounds around the cemetery began breaking down. A lot of laughter could be heard. Before Chazz knew it a chain flew through him and tied suddenly his hands together. Chazz tripped forward and was now sitting down at his knees. He had no idea what was going on here. However he could feel the other end of the chain tense and seconds later something, or in this case someone, pulled him towards.. something. Chazz was not sure what, since he had fallen face flat to the dusty ground.
"Oh Chazz, we warned you" said a voice and two ghost, Chazz's heart skipped a beat, appeared beside him. It was Slade and Jagger. Chazz got, with a little complication, up from the ground and looked at his two floating brothers.
"What is going on?" He sneered "What are you two talking about?". He tensed when he noticed two familiar boots. He looked up and notice that he was lying in front Haou. The supreme king! Then a laughing voice could be heard again.
"I got him!" a weird dark creature said and was holding the chain. If Chazz remember correctly this creature was called "Brron" on the dark world series monsters in duel monster card, but they disappeared as cards from the human world years ago. Soon after other monsters joined them. Like "Gwen", "Zure" and "Scar". Brron grinned maliciously once again. Chazz just sneered. What the hell is going on here?
"I got him your majesty. Did you see I got him. He is all mine" Brron said.
"Brron pipe down" yelled another monster. It was Zure. "It is not yours unless his majesty says so. Don't forget that". Brron bit his lip and kneeled down. So did every other creature around them now. Jagger and Slade was still hovering over him, but Chazz noticed that one of the creatures were holding their chains in their hands. Chazz gulped a little and slowly lifted his head. He meet Haou's amber golden ones. He was smirking like hell. Slade and Jagger flew in front of him though.
"You will not claim our little brother as well" Slade yelled angry. Jagger nodded.
"Yeah Chazz will not go with you" Jagger yelled and tried to free Chazz's hands from the chain. It didn't work. Haou snort and flicked with his fingers. One of the monsters pulled the two ghosts away. Chazz could remember the words from his brothers in the apartment "We don't want you in chains and bound to IT, as so many souls are now".
"Are you the 'IT' my brothers were talking about Haou?" He said in an angry tone. "And what with these pitiful monsters?". Brron sneered.
"You can't talk to his majesty like that" he began, but Haou slammed a glove in the head of him. Brron instantly stopped talking.
"Shut it Brron. I gave him permission" Haou sneered "If you say another world, my prison needs cleaning from the inside. He is mine! I want him!". Brron was about to say something, but ended saluting instead. Haou turned to Chazz.
"Yeah, I am IT, My dear Chazz!" Haou said and bowed down so they were eye to eye "You are as bright as always. I told you I am more that I seem to be, and that I have more names. Sinners, the ghosts, calls me It, but I am referred as the king of hell too".
"King.. of hell!" Chazz said slowly, then sneered "How in the world can you be the ghost of the future as well then? That doesn't make any sense!". Haou smirked.
"Oh that is simple. They needed a, how did you describe me, oh yes uncaring and heartless person to have a look at the future. Call it a hobby of mine" Haou said "There is rules of course. Like I told you, I am only an observer and sometimes I show people the future so they want to change. I also send them back to their own time, If they never touch their own grave that is, or says they want to change.". Chazz sneered coldly.
"You set me up!" He sneered "Well I want to change so send me back to my own time. I have to stop that future from happening". Haou kept on smirking and moved his hand down and stroked his hair a little. Then his hand actually when through him and Chazz could feel a sharp pain in his chest. Before he knew it, Haou was holding a chain in his hand. The chain on his hands had disappeared. Instead this new chain was attached to a part of his chest. Actually right there were his heart was as well.
"I don't think so, Chazz! I have waited a long time for your arrival after all" The king said and pulled him a little closer "You're the last from the princeton family. Your family had been big sinners doing generations, and that has kind of turned into a sort of collection of mine. I want to have you all here, and since you touched the grave, the collection is now complete". Chazz looked in horror and tried to get out of this king's grip, but he was not letting go of the chain.
"All of them?" Chazz yelled "My mother? My father". Haou smirked.
"I have your father, but okay your mom escaped me. She is in heaven. I was actually a little worried about you actually. Your mom was too good hearted and changed your father's cold heart to less cold. I was afraid that her kindness would stick on you, as well as that influence from that Yuki kid, but luckily your brothers beat that one out of you" Haou said and smirked evilly "I got you in the end didn't I". Chazz sneered.
"Let me go, stupid king" He yelled and was fighting like hell "I am not part of your stupid collection. I am not even death yet". Haou chuckled a little actually.
"You did when you touched the grave. The part of you meeting us ghost's never happens when you dies here Chazz. Which means your present self are still a cold yerk. You will atone your sins with me forever. Actually you shall have 8 chains on, but I find you kind of intriguing. You are not afraid of looking me in the eyes and tell me your honest opinion. Even these idiots are afraid of me" Haou said coldly and pointed at Brron and the others. He licked his lips. "If you agrees to serve me forever I will keep you one chained to me. Don't worry, you will have a lot better life than normal sinners have. I will not punish you either, so what do you say?".
"Oh yeah right" He said "If I agree that horrified future will happen right".
"Yeah it will, but why should you care Chazz?" Haou said coldly "You will have a life 10 times better than they will have". Chazz sneered and spit Haou in the face.
"I will not become your tool or whatever you have planned" He said "I will return and do all my wrongdoings to something right for once. I will free Jaden, I will free Zane as well and best of all save little Selina before it too late". Haou snort coldly.
"As you wish your proud little princeton" He said "Then have it your way. Be a sinner.. then maybe in a couple of 100 years you will reconsider my offer. Gwen, his sin list". A creature walked over to him and bowed. He gave an enormous list. Chazz didn't care, he was stubborn. I need to get away, but how?
"Let's see, you are charged with, greed.." Haou began and a chain appeared from beneath the craters and attached painfully to his body "Stolen, even from the poor. Used people for your own personal gain. Are cruel and coldhearted, treats people like dirt and one of my favorites, you slave binded your own best friend..". Every time the king mentioned one of the sins, a chain appeared from one of the craters and attached to somewhere on Chazz's body. The other ends ended slowly in Haou's hands at the same time. Chazz gasped every time in pain, but he was still struggling to find a way to get out of here. He wanted to change and stop that future from happening as well as saving his friends. He could feel the chains tighten and he got pulled towards the king once again. His chin was forced upwards and meet Haou's amber golden cold eyes. He was smirking evilly.
"The process is almost finished. Only one more chain to go. It is the one who binds you forever to me being that siner you are. It is actually a shame that you are the last princeton, because then I have to find someone else to collect now don't I? Maybe these precious friends of yours. The Yuki and the Truesdale family maybe?!" Haou said coldly and licked his lip "After all in the future it is most likely that Jaden and Zane at least will join you in a couple of years. At least if they stay on the path they are right now they will. Doesn't that sound good to you Chazz?!". Chazz snort angry.
"Okay fine maybe you will get me your stupid king. I deserve it after what I did or will or will not do. The future can after all change" Chazz said and sighed "But you will not get my friends. Zane and Jaden is off limit. I know a person with the right christmas spirit will save them from you. The only regret I have, is that I sadly can't be that person. I want to change. I want to save and ask my friends for their forgiveness. If I could I wanted to save Selina as well. However my biggest wish is that I can keep my promise to Jaden and accept his offer and have christmas with them. I want that more than everything else!". Haou snort and a chain appeared in his free hand now. Chazz gulped inside.
"Well that is not gonna happen" He said and smirked "You will now belong to me forever!". Then he tossed the chain at him. Chazz gulped inside and closed his eyes. He was not gonna see his future doom when the chain hit. However deep inside he was screaming and wishing! Wishing that this was not gonna happen. Please dear christmas spirit, I don't care what happens to me, but please save my friends from the present! They shall not be bound to him like I am! But if you can, then um please save me as well. I wish to change! Then he sighed and accepted whatever then happened.
"I heard your prayers" could he hear in his head and Chazz opened shocked his eyes. A angry scream could also be heard. It was coming from Haou.
"No!" He screamed and tossed the chain against him, but it hit some kind of invisible shield or barrier "No! Why can't I touch him? He is mine! Chazz belongs to me!". Chazz looked as stunned and surprised as the king and his men. Then the shield suddenly changed and person appeared. It was a boy dressed in a blue, black prince outfit with a red cape hanging down from his shoulders. He was smiling like hell.
"Jaden?!" Chazz questioned confused "Is that you?". The boy grinned.
"No I am the christmas spirit. Your christmas spirit now too" he said and hugged him "I look like Jaden, because he is the one who believes most in me. Him and his family. I am so happy. You finally believe in me again. I have been waiting for that in years. You did once remember. I fulfilled your wish and sended you Jaden when you wanted to have christmas as a child, and now I am here to help you again. After all everyone deserves to have christmas". The boy flew and floated around him now like a happy, energetic, joyful child. Chazz was not sure what to do or say.
"You!" could he suddenly hear Haou scream "What are you doing here? You are not suppose to be here. Chazz is mine! Mine I tell you!". The boy stopped up and looked over at the angry king now. His minions had slowly backed away from him. Chazz was also agreeing that he liked Haou cold, calm and collecting. Him angry was not something he liked seeing. The darkness around him was sufficing like a dark uncomfortable aura. The boy then suddenly just smiled.
"Haou! How are you? Long time no see!" He said and properly would have hugged him if Haou hasn't tossed a black ball after him. The boy just grinned.
"As unfriendly as ever I see" He just said. Haou sneered angry.
"Leave christmas boy, you know the rules. Chazz touched the gravestone, so he is mine!" Haou yelled angry "My prize!". The boy smiled a sad smile.
"No, you have to remember the rules Haou" He said "If Chazz get's his christmas spirit before the last chain is on, then he is free to go. I am the living proof on that".
"No! You are not!" He screamed "You meddled! Chazz is mine. He is the last piece of my collection. I am not letting you have him. I am not gonna let him escape me". Black energy began intentifying in the kings hands. The spirit sighed deeply.
"Oh you have always been a sore loser Haou" the boy said "Fine if I win you will let me take Chazz back to the present". Haou just sneered and attacked with a black blast. The boy created a shield with his hands and tried protecting himself and Chazz, but Haou didn't stop the blast right away. He continued firing the blast at spirit and he slowly began getting pushed back. Chazz looked in horror. The boy just smiled.
"Don't worry Chazz. Haou will not claim you as sinner just yet" He reassured him "At least not in the future. You will be given a chance to change in the present. The christmas is the time of forgiveness and miracles". Chazz eyes widened.
"Like believing right" He said "Yubel told me". The spirit grinned.
"Yes, exactly. Just believe in christmas, yourself and me Chazz" He said and smiled. He looked at Haou "I will win if you believe". Chazz took a deep breathe.
"I do believe in you christmas spirit" He said slowly "Or at least I want to have christmas again. I want to change and pay back Jaden his kindness". The spirit grinned and he began slowly to glow. The shield got stronger.
"That's what I want to hear" the christmas spirit said and smiled a bright smile "Your heart is finally open. Or at least so open as stubborn princeton's can get". Then a giant bubble of light surrounded both of them and flew through the black beams of Haou's. As they did, Chazz's chains slowly broke and seconds later he was free.
"No!!" screamed Haou as his beam got destroyed "This is not fair". The spirit grinned and actually flew out of the bubble and down towards Haou. He gave him a big hug. Chazz was as surprised as the king looked right now.
"Thanks for the fight My dear friend" the christmas boy said "I will forgive you for attacking me once again. I always will! Take good care of the future for me now, like I instructed you. If you behave I will visit more often". Haou sneered and tried pushing and hit the boy away from him, but the spirit was faster than his fists.
"Say that again your annoying christmas prince" Haou yelled angry "We are not friends. I hate you! I will never behave! I am the king of hell! Now give me back what belongs to me, your good for nothing christmas thief". The prince just grinned and flew back to the bubble. Then the bubble began moving away and they could hear the king yell like hell. Chazz began slowly to yarn and before he knew it he fell asleep.
