Chapter One: Marked

"Jaden... my kawaii son. You must never allow your Father to take you away."

"Why, mommy? What will daddy do if he finds me?"

"..."

"Mommy?"

"He'll..."

CRASH!!

"There she is!!"

"AAH!! Jaden, run!!"

"Mommy!?"

"There's the 'prince'! Get him and get the woman!"

"Jaden, run away!!"

"Mommy?! What's going on, Mommy?"

"G'out of the way, woman!!"

SPURT!!

"J-Ja... cough...den..."

"Mommy!!"

"Jaden... run away... h...urry... Run... cough... away..."

"Mommy!?"

"..."

"Mommy! Mommy!? Mommy!!"

"..."

"MOMMY!!"

"My kawaii son... why are you hiding from me?"

"W-who are you?"

"My kawaii son... You don't recognize me at all?"

"...Daddy?"

"Yes, my dear son."

"Daddy! Why isn't Mommy... b-breathing?"

"...She's dead, Jaden. She's dead and she isn't coming back."

"Daddy! You have to save Mommy!! Please save Mommy!!"

"And why would I do that, Jaden? Your mother is just another stupid human, and like all humans... I needed to kill her."

"Daddy!? Why!?"

"This... is what you'll do one day, Jaden. This... is what will become of humans..."

BOOM!!

SMASH!!

CRASH!!

RIP!!

"This is the destruction that you'll cause Jaden, when you reach the right age... You'll become this... And kill all the humans..."

"No... n-no..."

Blood. So much blood. People screaming in pain, begging it to stop. People reaching for missing limbs, tears streaming from their eyes and blood gushing from their mouths as they fell limp to the ground, eyes wide with death.

Death...

"N-no... No... stop... No more... no more..."

"Ha ha ha ha ha!! Die mortals!!"

Blood... so much blood... Death... screaming...

"No more..."

Death and destruction... fire and death... blood...

"No more..."

Death...

"IYAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!"

SPIRITSHIPPING 4 EVER

Jaden shot up and gasped loudly, shuddering violently. He hugged himself and glanced around quickly. Jaden was still in his room at the Slifer Dorm. His room was slightly messy and he was shuddering a lot, causing his blankets to fall off the bed.

"Kuri kuri?" Jaden glanced over and saw Winged Kuriboh staring at him with concerned eyes. Jaden slowly nodded and inhaled deeply.

"Yeah... Yeah, I'm all right. Uh... what a terrible nightmare..." the brunette whispered. Winged Kuriboh fluttered over and sat next to Jaden, rubbing against the brunette's arm to calm him down. Jaden sighed and opened his eyes and suddenly gasped.

Fire was burning all over.

Jaden gasped as fire caught on his bed, and burned into the shape of a horned "S". The fire burned, and suddenly 2 red eyes appeared on the black walls, glaring evilly at Jaden before cackling.

Jaden couldn't stand it anymore.

"IYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!"

"Jaden!!" Jaden gasped and glanced up to see Jesse grasping his shoulders and staring at him in concern. Jaden gasped and glanced around. There was no fire anymore, no traces of the fire ever exisiting.

"Jaden... are you all right? I heard you screaming and came here as fast as I could..." Jesse said in a gentle voice as to not startle the younger boy. Jaden slowly nodded before hugging Jesse tightly.

"I-I'm all right... Jesse... It was just a nightmare," the brunette whispered. Jesse hugged Jaden back and stroked his hair, whispering gentle words to the beloved brunette that he cared so much for.

"It's okay... I'm here now..." Jesse cooed. Jaden sighed happily before standing up and heading into the bath tub.

"I'm gonna take a bath, okay?" Jesse nodded before laying on Jaden's bed.

"I'll be right here when you get out," the bluenette smiled. Jaden smirked happily and slowly closed and locked the door to the bathroom before turning on the warm bath water, allowing the steam to fill the room and calming him.

SPIRITSHIPPING 4 EVER

Jaden sighed as he slipped into the warm bath water, the warm liquid washing over his body. The brunette sighed again and leaned his head back, enjoying the feeling of warmth washing over his being. It took away his stress, his fear, and it made him realize that he wasn't alone.

"Unn!!" Jaden moaned loudly as a sudden pain rushed through his body. He slowly lifted his arm out of the water to see what had caused him so much pain. As he did, Jaden released a loud gasp, his brown eyes widening in horror.

Strange red-gold symbols ran up Jaden's arm, all of them attatched to basically be one symbol. The red-gold markings were shaped like an "S" with 2 horns next to it, one on each side like a small dancing flame.

The same markings were also running up Jaden's other arm and both his legs in the same line, appearing like a lightning bolt with small flames next to them, as well as one thin vertical strip of curved-lightning markings up the center of his stomach. The markings almost looked exactly like blood wth a golden glow.

They brought terror... along with terrible pain.

"U-unnn!!" Jaden moaned, throwing his head back and squeezing his eyes shut tightly. He panted sharply for breath as the pain tripled, making him nearly lose consciousness. Suddenly, Jaden heard pounding on the door.

"Jay! Are you all right?!" Jesse's voice came through the door, concern lacing his tone. Jaden slowly opened his eyes and moaned weakly before speaking to the bluenette who was concerned for him.

"I...I'm okay!" the brunette spoke weakly. He didn't hear Jesse speak after that, so obviously Jesse believed that Jaden was all right. Jaden slowly glanced down at his arms again, groaning at the sight of the markings that now littered his body.

SPIRITSHIPPING 4 EVER

"Aniki? Why are you wearing such long clothing? It's summer time..." Syrus said. Jaden shrugged.

The brunette was currently wearing a long sleeved jacket, brown gloves over his hands, long black pants, and his normal shoes. He looked like he was bioling in that outfit, but Syrus wondered why he was wearing it in the first place.

"O-oh... I have a cold so... I gotta stay extra warm..." Jaden lied, hoping that Syrus would believe him. The smallest bluenette shrugged before going back to the game he was playing with the other students.

"Jay?" Jaden turned around to see Jesse looking at him with confusion written on his face. Jaden smiled warmly.

"I have a cold..." he lied again, this time feeling a slight sting in his chest as he did. He felt so horrible lying to Jesse, but he didn't want the bluenette to worry about him. And if Jesse saw the markings... he's be worried.

Jesse nodded slowly, obviously believing what Jaden was saying and together, they all started a baseball game.

"Run, Jaden!" Bastion hollered as Jaden smacked a home run. The brunette nodded quickly before racing towards first base. He was so close that he could hear the people holding their breath to see if he would make it.

Suddenly, pain errupted through Jaden's body.

"Unnnnn!!" Jaden moaned as he tripped and fell to the ground. Jesse gasped and raced to the brunette. He knealed down and grasped Jaden's shoulders, lifting the brunette up off the ground.

"Jaden... Are you all right?" the bluenette asked. Jaden nodded quickly, while clutching his arm.

"I-I'm fine..." he lied. Jesse slowly reached forwad to take Jaden's arm when he noticed that Jaden pried his arm back and turned it away, as if hiding something.

Jesse reached forward and grasped Jaden's wrist, dragging him toward the Slifer Dorms. He ignored Jaden's struggling and kicked open the door, throwing Jaden onto the bed and sitting ontop of him, stradling the younger boy's waist.

"Jesse?" Jaden asked. Jesse grabbed Jaden's sleeve and started to pull it up. Jaden gasped and struggled, realizing that Jesse knew Jaden was hiding something from him, and the bluenette was determined to find out what.

"J-Jesse... what are you doing?!" Jaden screamed, struggling against the bluenette. Jesse ignored Jaden's thrashing and grabbed Jaden's right sleeve and right glove in his hands, knealing on Jaden's other arm and stradling his waist with his own.

"I..Iie!!" Jaden cried out. Jesse ignored Jaden's screaming. He had to know what was wrong with Jaden. He was so worried about the brunette, and Jaden wasn't saying anything.

Jesse suddenly yanked Jaden's sleeve up and tore the glove off, revealing the red-gold "S" shaped markings on the brunette's hand and arm.

SPIRITSHIPPING 4 EVER

"J-Jay... w-what are these markings...?" Jesse gasped, unable to raise his voice any louder. Jaden struggled under Jesse's hold, squeezing his eyes shut and praying that he could escape Jesse's hold. Sadly, he didn't escape the bluenette's grip.

"JAY!! WHAT ARE THESE MARKINGS?! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME ABOUT THIS!?" Jesse suddenly screamed. Jaden gasped and started sobbing weakly, shuddering. Jesse gasped when he realized that he had scared the brunette and then then embraced Jaden and stroked his hair lovingly. Jaden snuggled into the embrace, choking out sobs.

"Jay... I'm so sorry. Just... why? Why didn't you tell me you had these markings?" Jesse asked softly. Jaden shook his head violently.

"I-I didn't want you to worry about me," he whispered. Jesse tightened his embrace and kissed Jaden on the forehead lovingly. Jaden sobbed harder and clung to Jesse's shirt, not wanting him to go away.

"It'll be okay... I'll figure out what these markings are. And everything will be okay... I promise..." the bluenette whispered lovingly. Jaden nodded, but continued to shudder violently. Jesse stroked Jaden's hair lovingly.

"Everything is okay now... I promise. Shh..."

SPIRITSHIPPING 4 EVER

The next day, Jaden decided to ignore the markings. He wore his normal Slifer uniform, not really caring if anyone saw the markings on his arms or on his hands. He didn't really mind. The pain had stopped now that Jesse was here, and Jaden didn't notice anything strange happening.

But that would soon change...

"Hello, Jaden..."

Jaden gasped and spun around when he heard a familiar voice call his name. He gasped again when he saw that it was Viper, a once great servant of the Monster King. This man was the one who had killed Jaden's mother.

"Y-you!" Jaden yelled, startling Jesse. Viper sneered and grasped Jaden's wrist. Jaden gasped and struggled away. Viper smiled and pulled Jaden closer, causing Jesse to growl in anger at the man for even laying a hand on Jaden.

"Let's head somewhere where we can speak privately... Somewhere in the city..." Viper said, and with that, he and Jaden vanished into thin air, Viper having taken Jaden into the city that surrounded Duel Academy. Jesse gasped as Jaden suddenly disappeared, calling out to him loudly.

In the city...

"Unn!" Jaden moaned as he was flung to the ground. Viper loomed over the brunette and smirked. They were standing on top of the tallest building that Jaden had ever see, but it wasn't so big that you couldn't see the top of it from the ground.

"Now... let's chat..." Viper smirked. Jaden glared at Viper and started to rise to his feet. With that, Jaden bolted away, trying to escape the man who he was afraid of. But being on a building top, Jaden couldn't get very far.

He was trapped...

SPIRITSHIPPING 4 EVER

"Get away!!" Jaden screamed as he raced away from Viper. The man chased him again, cackling loudly as he did so. Jaden screamed, hoping that the man would listen and leave him alone. Viper suddenly grasped Jaden's wrist.

"Ungh! G-get away!" Jaden yelled, trying to throw Viper away from him. Viper smirked as Jaden spun around. Viper grasped the back of Jaden's Slifer jacket and tore the back off, along with the brunette's black shirt, revealing strange red markings on Jaden's beautiful back.

"Unn!" Jaden moaned as the marks were revealed. Jaden then sprung up and slashed at Viper. Viper caught Jaden's wrist and pulled it out to the side. Jaden gasped and tried to punch with his other arm, but it was caught by Viper again. Viper suddenly squeezed Jaden's arms.

As he did, Jaden's clothes became destroyed by a bright stream of light. Jaden's shirt blew apart, a few patches of it still on his chest, but his arms and stomach were fully revealed. His jacket was torn and only covered a small section of his left side near his collar bone.

Jaden's white pants became torn tatters, only attatched in a few places and held together by parts in the back of his legs. Jaden's black boxers were visible, covered in some places by Jaden's torn white jeans. Jaden's red shoes were torn apart, held to the brunette's feet by a few torn fabrics.

The markings on Jaden's body became fully revealed.

The markings were red with a sort of yellowish glow to it. On Jaden's forehead was a red-gold "S" with a line with something that looked like flecks of flames next to it. Red-gold strange markings that looked similar to the one on his forehead.

Spiked "S"s that appeared like lightning bolts wuth flames on the sides raced all over Jaden's body. His stomach had one thin stripe right in the center that ran vertically up his belly with the markings all attatched into one large symbol line.

The symbols on Jaden's arms did the same thing, all basically fusing into one symbol line that appeared like strange bolts and curves that went from the tops of his hands to his shoulders and were hidden under his scraped clothing.

The same symbol line ran up both of Jaden's pale legs, glowing with an ultimate power. The symbols littered the brunette's body in the places visible, and even more were located underneath his clothing.

"H-huh..!!" Jaden gasped as he saw the markings revealed all over his body. The brunette crossed his arms and gripped his shoulders with his own hands, hugging himself tightly, as if terrified of something, or just being in pain.

"IIE!!" Jaden yelled as he then sunk to his knees in pain, squeezing his chocolate colored eyes shut in fear.

SPIRITSHIPPING 4 EVER

Viper cackled loudly as Jaden hugged his arms tightly, shuddering and trying to hold tears back. Viper then reached down and grabbed a handful of Jaden's brown hair. Jaden cried out in pain as Viper yanked him up.

"Itai!!" Jaden squealed. Viper then spun Jaden around, holding the brunette's arms to his sides and making Jaden face the sun. As Jaden did, his markings glew brightly, and the sky matched the marking's colors.

The sky slowly turned into a blood-red scene, the sun turning a deep red. The clouds became a deep scarlet, and the whole sky looked like blood. The sky matched the evilness of the area around it. The water around the land became red lava, though not enough to actually burn someone to death.

As Jaden faced the sun, pain shot through his body. The symbols glew, and Jaden suddenly changed, even if it was slightly.

The front of Jaden's hair grew longer until the two parts reached his waist. The back of his hair remained short, the parts covering his ears growing until they came to his revealed waist. Jaden's hair became slightly messed up as it grew, blowing in the new wind.

"Unn..." Jaden moaned as his head slumped. He felt so dizzy right now, and if it weren't for Viper holding him up, Jaden would have sunk to the ground and passed out by this point.

"Jaden, this is your destiny. That is why you bare these markings," Viper suddenly said. Jaden slowly inhaled deeply before speaking in the weakest voice he had ever spoken in.

"W-what... are you talking about...?"

SPIRITSHIPPING 4 EVER

"What am I talking about? Look at you, Jaden," Viper said, slowly going down so he was right next to Jaden's ear. Jaden tried to squirm away, but found himself too weak to even move. Viper smirked before speaking again.

"You think these marks are normal? You honestly think that these marks are human? You're not normal, Jaden..." the evil man whispered. Jaden gasped and found his voice, no matter how weak he felt.

"W-what... do you mean...?" he whispered. Viper sneered and spoke to Jaden again.

"You aren't human. You're a halfbreed... Born of the great Monster... Nerigon. Your father... is a Monster King... and your mother is a weak human. You have great powers that no one else has. And your father needs you... Bring your father out from sealment..." he said. Jaden squeezed his eye shut and tilted his head back.

"No! S-stop it... Please stop this... Jesse, I want Jesse..." Jaden whispered, feeling tears fill his eyes. Viper smirked again.

"Why do you want that worthless human? He's nothing special. Jesse doesn't mean anything! He's a human. Humans don't love you. No one who's human loves you!" he yelled. Jaden gasped and shook his head weakly.

"Y-you're wrong!" he yelled quietly. Viper smirked once again, but gave Jaden a chance to speak.

"J-Jesse loves me... Jesse cares for me... Syrus... Hassleberry... Alexis... Chazz... Jim... Axel... Aster... Blair... they all care so deeply for me!" the brunette screamed, struggling weakly against the stronger man.

Viper took a piece of Jaden's now waist length hair and ran his fingers through it. Jaden moaned in digust, but didn't speak. He was too afraid to even open his mouth again and try to talk. Who knew what Viper was going to do to him.

"Jaden... you should realize now that you're not a human. Your power is destined to kill off humanity. You were born to kill all humans... and that is all you were ment to do. You do not belong here, Jaden! You aren't loved by anyone in this earth who is human!!" Viper yelled in the brunette's ear.

Jaden closed his eyes and allowed a few tears to slip through his closed eyelids. He shuddered as Viper continued to hold him tightly. Jaden wanted nothing more than to think of this as a bad dream. To wake up and make all this go away.

'I-It's not true... I'm not evil... I'm not ment to destroy the world!! I'm not!!' Jaden screamed in his mind. he then remained silent, as if realizing something.

'It's not true... Right...?'

SPIRITSHIPPING 4 EVER

Meanwhile...

"JADEN! JADEN, WHERE ARE YOU!?" Jesse hollered, racing all over the city that lied at the outskirts of Duel Academy, the remainder of the gang hot on his trail. Jim panted as he raced behind Jesse.

"Jesse! Where do you think Viper would take Jaden?" the aussie asked. Jesse shrugged and continued to race forward, cursing himself for allowing anything to happen to his beloved brunette.

"Jaden had better be all right or I'll fucking fill Viper!" the bluenette hollered. Jesse stared ahead at the sky, which was now a bright red, rivaling blood in color. He growled in his throat before racing forward.

'Jaden... please... please be all right!! Hang in there, Jaden! I'm coming for you, angel! Just wait for me... Just wait and be strong Jaden!!' Jesse thought as they all ran around the town searching for the beloved brunette that everyone loved so much.

SPIRITSHIPPING 4 EVER

"No! I-I won't believe you! S-stay away from me!!" Jaden yelled, struggling to escape from Viper's grip. Viper sneered and then cackled, keeping a firm hold on Jaden's body. The brunette was too weak to struggle, so this made things easier to bear.

"Jaden, this is the world you are ment to destroy. It began the day you were born into this wretched world..." Viper said. Jaden stopped struggling, too tired to even move anymore. Viper continued talking.

"You're going to destroy the world, Jaden... It's written all over your body, all over your fate. Your destiny is to kill everyone, Jaden... All humans will die like dogs at your hands, Jaden. Embrace who you are! Unleash your father, and destroy the world of the humans!"

Jaden shook his head violently and threw his head back, gritting his teeth as pain raced through his being. Viper smiled and pointed Jaden towards the scarlet sun, causing the brunette to groan loudly in pain.

"Poor thing... These humans wil never understand your pain. You poor foolish boy... Your father is the only one who loves you... No one else cares..." Viper smiled. Jaden shook his head violently and squeezed his eyes shut.

"I-iie! T-that isn't true... That's not right! Jesse... Jesse is-"

"Jesse is a human, Jaden. He'll cast you aside when he learns of your destiny. Is he the only reason you refuse your destiny?" Viper interrupted. Jaden stopped speaking and remained silent. He hung his head weakly, closing his brown eyes.

"That's true, Jaden... Jesse is the same as all the others. He'll hate you..." Viper said menacingly. Jaden felt tears forming behind his closed eyes. He didn't want to cry, but he couldn't bring himself to not cry. Jaden's brown now waist-length hair blew in the wind.

"Jesse..."

SPIRITSHIPPING 4 EVER

Jesse and the gang ran down the street. Jesse glanced around and glanced up at a tall building where he believed someone would use to make a terrifying entrace because of how high it was.

Jesse stifled a gasp as he spotted Viper standing on a tall building that over-looked the town below. Viper had someone in a harsh hold, his arms holding their arms and the person's head hanging limply on their shoulders.

The person was wearing shreaded clothing, revealing his skin in many places. However, on the areas that skin was revealed, there were strange red-gold markings of some kind. The person's hair was a beautiful brown color, and his eyes were colored by his chocolate bangs. The boy's hair was longer in the front that it was before. The front of the person's hair that once fell to his neck and covered his ears now fell around his waist in the front.

Jesse gasped. He recognized the person. He recognized him very well. Viper cackled loudly as Jesse screamed for the person held in the man's grip.

"JADEN!!"

SPIRITSHIPPING 4 EVER

As Viper cackled, Jaden's brown eyes slowly fluttered open. The brunette slowly glanced around, his vision fading quickly. His now waist length hair fluttered in front of him in the strong wind, the red sky making the wind seem evil.

"JADEN!!" Jaden could hear Jesse screaming for him. He could hear the terror and concern in Jesse's voice. Jaden knew that wasn't a good thing. However, Jaden couldn't bring himself to move. He felt too weak.

'I get it... This is really my path. This is... the path I was ment to walk... Is it... my destiny to destroy the Earth?' Jaden thought. He slowly closed his eyes and exhaled deeply, feeling his consciousness start to fade.

'Am I really... a horrible monster?'
