Chazz lay back, making the best of his position in Slifer Red. He mused over the conversation he'd heard earlier and the way everyone, including the other Slifers, were acting towards Jaden Yuki. From the day they'd found out he was bisexual they'd avoided him like a plague. One of the Obelisks claming Jaden had tried to force himself on him. Chazz rolled onto his side in irritation as Ojama Yellow appeared beside him. "What is it now?"

"Well, Boss. I was back home and happened to hear an interesting rumor you might like." Ojama Yellow said floating next to Chazz. "According to my very reliable source, there's a duel monster hidden on the island disguised as a human. It was, um, Elemental Hero something."

"What makes you think I would be interested in Shadow Realm rumors?" Chazz asked angrily. Ojama Yellow floated to the floor sadly. Chazz looked at him and sighed. "Fine, tell me what you know." He sat upas Ojama Yellow flew up happily.

"Thanks, Boss. I didn't hear much but I know that the monster is in the form of a young boy." Ojama Yellow said. "His parents are trying to get him back in the Shadow Realm before anyone finds out what he is, cause than they'd know that we're real. He's in Slifer Red I believe. His deck is supposedly filled with all the other Elemental Heroes, so he can keep his friends and family close."

"Sounds familiar." Chazz said, looking thoughtful. "I'm pretty sure there's only one duelist matching that description. Jaden Yuki."

"Correct on the first guess. My son was right, you humans are smarter than you look." Chazz looked around and fell off his bed as Elemental Hero Avian walked through his left wall. "You know about us because Ojama Yellow broke the Shadow Realm Law, but this could come in handy."

"What do you mean?" Chazz asked. He looked down in confusion as Ojama Yellow stood in front of him protectively. "What's going on?"

"Duel Monsters are to remain hidden from their owners unless the human owner is in a life-or-death situation. That's just how it is. Any human who sees a monster must die before they tell others." Avian said. "The Council has only made three exceptions for as long as we can remember. You are the last of those three." Ojama Yellow sighed with relief. "Chazz, I need your help. A powerful sorcerer has hidden away in this school. He knows which student is a monster and is having his way with him as we speck. A force field he set up is keeping all monsters out. We need you to save my son."

"Give me one good reason I should help the kid who humiliated me." Chazz challenged. Avian sighed and turned around, flapping his wings angrily.

"He was the only monster who had faith in you Chazz. If it wasn't for him the Shadow Realms best assassins would have killed you the day you met Ojama Yellow." Avian said. "He claimed you had a good heart, and I believed him. Now I'm not so sure." Chazz looked down as Avian walked though his door. Without really thinking about what he was doing Chazz ran after him, slamming the door shut on his way out.

"I'll need you to show me the way." Chazz said. Avian looked at him, clearly surprised at the sudden change of heart. He smiled and flew slowly, leading Chazz deep into the forest. Avian landed next to Elemental Hero Sparkman. Chazz saw Sparkman and Elemental Hero Bubbleman trying to break through a strange black barrier. Chazz took a deep breath and walked through the barrier. He felt a slight pull as it resisted, but in just a second he was though. Ojama Yellow waved silently from the other side before vanishing, no doubt returning to the Shadow Realm. Chazz looked around and continued into the brush. A sudden scream to the left made him freeze, listening.

"Please, stop. I just wanna go home!" It was Jaden's voice. Chazz growled slightly and ran off to the left, following Jaden's screams. He stopped and leaned down, hiding in the bushes and peering through to see the Obelisk who had been talking about Jaden. He was pulling his pants on, and Jaden lay whimpering at his feet.

"Don't worry, little monster. I've had my fun. Next we go world-wide so everyone else can have some fun with you." The Obelisk said. Chazz watched silently as a light red glow surrounded Jaden. When it faded the boy lay in his true form. Beaten and broken, Chazz still couldn't help but admire his beauty. Jaden's true form was small and lean with red hair and yellow highlights. His arms and legs were covered in red, orange, and yellow feathers; and he was wearing a white robe with gentle flames on the bottom. Sprouting from his shoulder blades and through two slits in his robe was a magnificent pair of wings covered in red, orange, and yellow feathers. The wings lay limp at his side and his hair was duller than it probably should be, but he was beautiful nonetheless. Chazz felt the anger build up inside him as the Obelisk, a criminal who could never possibly appreciate Jaden, tied the young boy up and through him roughly into a nearby cage. Chazz felt himself stand up and heard himself yell before he could stop himself.

"Let him go!" Chazz pulled out a pocket knife as the Obelisk turned to look at him, surprise evident in his eyes.

"What did you say, Slifer Slacker?" He asked, anger in his voice as Chazz approached him, knife in hand.

"Let him go." Chazz barely whispered this time. The Obelisk yelled in rage and jumped at Chazz, but the Slifer jumped back and stabbed him in the side with his knife, temporarily disabling him. Chazz ran for Jaden's cage and pulled the half-conscious boy out into the clearing. The Obelisk got up and pulled out a pistol, aiming at Chazz and making the Princeton jump for cover in the bushes, Jaden in his arms. Chazz ran for the barrier. He heard gunshots behind him, but he could already see Avian.

"Chazz, the barrier. Starburst can't get through because he's a duel monster." Avian yelled. Chazz froze, knowing instinctively that Starburst must be Jaden's real name. "You have to make the sorcerer droop the barrier, otherwise Starburst can't get out." Chazz nodded as the Obelisk ran through the last bush and stopped.

"Well, finally realized how futile your attempts are than, Slifer." He said. "If you give him back now I may consider letting you have a night with him." Chazz closed his eyes and put Jaden down next to the barrier. He slowly turned to face the Obelisk and opened his eyes, pure hate shinning in them.

"I would never give my friend to a filthy, heartless, devil like you." Chazz said, pulling out his pocket knife again and lunging at the startled Obelisk. Chazz closed his eyes in pain as three bullets seared through his chest before he plunged the knife deep into the Obelisk's heart. Both humans dropped to the ground, and Chazz could barely register the barrier dropping at the death of its creator. He smiled when he felt Jaden grab his hand and hold it tightly. "Jaden, go back to the Shadow Realm. You'll be safe there." Chazz whispered before falling into merciful darkness for what he believed to be the last time.

Chazz opened his eyes slowly, numbly identifying his surroundings as a large cave. He looked to his right where he heard gentle breathing and saw Jaden, still in his true form. Jaden smiled at him shyly and moved the warm wing that was covering Chazz away. "Where am I?" Chazz asked, sitting up to look at his surroundings.

"A cave on the island." Jaden said. Even his voice had changed, now a heavenly sound. "My mother saved you, after they made sure I was okay." Avian walked into the cave ad smiled at the two.

"Starburst, it's time to go. Chazz can take care of himself from here." Avian said. Jaden nodded and stood up, stretching his wings lightly as he did.

"Oh, Chazz, I want you to have this." Jaden said, reaching into a white pouch at his side and pulling out a card. Chazz looked at it and saw Jaden's duel monster form on the picture. "This card is one-of-a-kind, and I'm trusting you with it. Be sure I get to duel a little and go on to become the next Game King with me by your side." Chazz smiled and nodded, rising to his feet.

"I will, you have my word." Chazz said. Jaden nodded happily as Avian handed Chazz his old deck.

"Take care of them?" The bird warrior asked, Chazz nodded again and placed them carefully in his vest pocket before sliding Jaden's card into his own deck. He watched as the two flew in the direction of the abandoned dorm before walking back to his own dorm, ignoring the dull throbbing in his chest. He thought about the card and couldn't help but laugh, knowing he couldn't lose with Jaden at his side. His newest card, Starburst Phoenix, would surely take him to the top, and Jaden would be right there with him all the way.

The End

Fox: So, what'd you think. This story idea was driving me crazy all day at school today. My sisters don't even know I wrote it. Review and tell me if I should continue or not. Thanks, and good bye for now.
