This is actually a prequel to a story I might start. So, please tell me your thoughts on this.

Chapter two

I can't believe it
What happened to you?!
I came back, alright?
I thought you would wait for me, too!

Why are you doing this to me?
Do you really hate me this much?

...You do?

Jaden

Jaden came back from his journey, where he and Aster dueled. Jaden won.

Could it be that I'm even more powerful than destiny?

Yes, he won.

Jaden grinned broadly hearing his friends at the sides cheer him on. He looked at them and grinned at each other proudly. He was lucky to have so many good friends. He had won with his new, awesome Neo-Space Duel Monsters!

He looked at his friends again. Syrus, Alexis, Bastion, Hassleberry and…

…and?

His gaze slowly came to a halt. Something was not right here. Someone was missing. Some sinister and angry aura, a scratchy, sarcastic and angry voice. He looked at his friends again, scrutinising everyone one by one. Maybe he was hallucinating…But then it dawned him.

"Where's Chazz?"

As if he had spoken a muting spell, the cheers subsided and silence from his friends met him. Uprised arms who had been risen in happy jubilation slowly moved downwards and stayed there, hanging limpily at the sides. They looked at each other nervously and suddenly started to whisper to one another, not knowing what to say to Jaden.

"Where is Chazz?", he repeated a little louder, but his voice grew hoarse.

"Uhm.." Alexis stepped forward. It irked Jaden that the normally confident and strong-willed girl suddenly became afraid of telling him where his dark friend was. He became impatient.
"What happened here while I was away?"
Now panic made itself clear and he remembered seeing a flashback of a retreating back just before he had left the island.
He sprung around and ran as if evil Duel Monsters were at his heels, just vaguelly realising that his friends shouted after him to come back.

Chazz was in his room, happily tearing down pictures from his wall, the Ojama Trio watching him uneasily while he did so.

„WHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"Err, boss?" Ojama Yellow asked with some concern.

Chazz ignored him.

Chazz stopped, waited as if he listened to something and then giggled. He tore down the last picture of Jaden from the room's wall and looked down on it.

"Bye, bye, Slacker", he whispered cheerfully and grinned. He bent down and put the picture into the big box standing near the bed and closed it with sellotape. "Ready for transportation.."
He slid down the bed and leaned onto it with his back, his legs outstretched. He felt very comfortable right now, relaxed, without any worry at all. He would soon get out of this room and get into one more of his taste.

"Boss are you okay?" Ojama Yellow was more than just worried now.

"Oh I'm better than just 'okay,'" he explained and laughed like a maniac and kicked the box even further away.

He heard a someone calling his name before he felt himself pulled into a tight embraced from behind.

xXx

Jaden ran and ran, yelling: "Chazz! Chazz!", randomly. He came back to the Slifer dorm and he stopped catching for air. Panting, he looked up and saw how the ex-Obelisk's door to his room was just a little opened.
Jaden smiled a little. This somehow gave him a little hope. He went up quickly and stood in front of the opened door. He suddenly found himself trembling. What had happened to Chazz ? The others acted as if he had become a zombie…What would he find in Chazz's room?

At that moment he heard soft thuds, shuffling and muttering from the inside of the room. He didn't see anything as the room was dark. So he gripped the handle and pulled the door open with more energy than was necessary.
Jaden paused to let his eyes adjust to the dark, but it was superfluous when he could make out Chazz behind the bed in the far corner of the room.

"Chazz!" he cried and ran to him as fast as he could, thinking that his hunched postion meant that he was in pain.
Jaden touched Chazz's shoulders from behind with both hands, tears of worry in his eyes. Chazz's head hung down loosely.
"Chazz…" Jaden embraced him and leand his head on his shoulder. „Oh my god, I was so worried. I am glad that you are okay. The others made it seem as if you were dead or something…" He laughed nervously, pulling away slightly, before he continued. "Hey, what happened to your wardrobe? Not that it looks bad, but black suited you more and-"

Chazz interrupted him. "I've seen the light….What about you?"

Jaden looked up and blinked in confusion. "Huh?"

Chazz's eyes were blank of emotion but they still bore into his own. He suddenly felt a hand caressing his cheek.
"Sartorious, my great master, he showed me the right path…the path of THE LIGHT!"

Jaden pulled away quickly and stood up, his hands made into fists.
"Chazz! The Society of Light is evil! What ever that Sartorious-guy told you! It's a lie! You need to snap out of it!"
His heart thumped madly, but he did not know why. He felt a weird sensation at the bottom of his stomach.

Chazz stood up as well, his eyes staring intently into Jaden's and took a step towards the brunette. Jaden felt like backing away but he didn't. He should have, because now he found himself on the king-sized bed pinned down by Chazz faster than he could have blinked.

"I'll show you the Light, Jaden…Master Sartorious will be so pleased with me…" Chazz purred. "And then you'll join the SOCIETY OF LIGHT!!! WHAHAHAHAHAHA!!"

Jaden felt the vibration of the ravenhaired teen's laughter and became an uneasy feeling southwards.

"Chazz, please stop.", Jaden begged. "You're beginning to scare me…I don't wanna join…"

Jaden's body trembelled as he looked into the depths of his rival's eyes. His expression has changed. He now looked really, really pissed.

"OH, YES YOU WILL, SLACKER!!!" Jaden felt himself pulled off the bed and…
..was smashed into the next wall with his back first, his breath knocked out of his lungs completely. He gasped and stared at Chazz in desperation. Chazz loooked at him like he was nothing and dirty, his madness seeping through. "You WILL see the Light!"

And before Chazz could latch onto him agan, Jaden pushed himself off the wall and ran for the door, unfortunately tripping before he could reach it. He fell flat on his face, half of his body still in the dark room. Jaden quickly crawled out of his doom and turned to see Chazz standing in front of him. Chazz looked up to the sky, a content look on his face.

"Darkness will vanish…the Light…", he looked down on Jaden, a hatred more powerful than he usually held inside of his eyes. "Get out of my way, dropout boy! You'll see the Light in due time, anyway!" And he smashed the door shut.

Jaden stared wide-eyed into space, panting as if he had participated in a marathon. His face was white as paper.

"I'm so sorry, Jaden.." said a new voice quietly. Jaden's head snapped to the source of it and saw a very uncomfortable looking Alexis standing a little away from him.
"He has been like this since you left…just talking about light and white and …stuff…"She paused looking at the others who just stood there, silently listening. Then she continued:
"We don't know what happened to him. We just suspect that it has something to do with Aster's manager Sartorious, since he's been here since the day you left…"

Jaden nodded slowly, feeling weak. He didn't want to think or act somehow. Alexis helped him up. They all slowly walked together back to the school trying to reassure Jaden that Chazz was only going through a strange phase and he would soon be back to normal. But they couldn't quite believe themselves, no matter how hard they tried to convince Jaden.

Jaden, on the other hand was barely listening to their explanations. The incident with Chazz…He suddenly understood the meaning of the Society of Light, the horror that it would bring with it's domination. Ironic, how he understood after a good friend was effected by it, making him, Jaden Yuki… Yeah, what did it make him? He was again pulled into a strange affair. He gritted his teeth. They would pay. Yes, they would…However, he didn't feel like doing anything. He was powerless against such a huge organisation, he knew it.

xXx

In the next days and weeks Duel Academy changed into a completely different place. And Chazz was the cause of it. He converted everyone who duelled against him, and he was more powerful than ever. The number of Obelisk blue students decreased from day to day. Alexis and Bastion were lost in those white fangs, also brainwashed and becoming one of them. Chazz lead the growing army of the Society of Light members to the top. Jaden could do nothing but watch, how his friends, once a cheerful group of teenagers lost their smiles and became more and more depressed.
Jaden couldn't stand simply watching, but there was nothing that he could do, and he lost himself in self-loathing.

End: Chapter two; review, please!
