My Whirlwind High School Romance

The Plan

Jesse's POV

All I could do was sit thinking. We needed a way out of here but what could we do? Everyone else seems so positive in this dark situation. "Aaah," We turned to see Zane screaming as a shock was sent through his chains as he continued to struggle.

"Big bro stop!" Syrus cried trying to get Zane to stop moving.

I looked down at the chains around my wrists, so we try to escape and they shock us. This guy isn't playing around but from the looks of it the shock drains our energy so the "Shadow" needs us alive for whatever reason. I was so lost in my thoughts looking to the ceiling. How do we get out of here? Why are we here? Why is Jaden a host? I could hear everyone gasp. I didn't want to look until I felt something furry hit my face. I grabbed my cheek, "the hell was that!"

A cough came again and I looked down to see a dog like creature. My eyes widened. Where did this guy come from? "Wiz?" I heard Zane asked.

"Wiz?" We all repeated.

Zane nodded with what little strength he had. "Wiz is a member of the Buster Blader Arch type," he started to explain.

Wiz, as we had established smiled brightly. "Yay my former master remembers me." It cheered. Former master?

"Hey get back here," chazz suddenly screamed and we noticed Ojama yellow joining the party. "Why don't you ever listen?"

"Wait, you see duel spirits too chazz?" I asked and he nodded with a blush.

"Wiz it's been so long," Ojama cheered hugging him. What am I watching right now? Ojama started to cry. That's a little gross. "I thought we'd lost you!"

"No I got captured that day but that creep kept me alive and alone in here," wiz said sadly. "Mistress must miss me."

"You mean Emiko?" Alexis asked and Wiz nodded. "But you said Zane was your-"

"He is my former master," wiz explained again. "I was a present from him to the young mistress many years ago."

We all looked at a confused Zane. "Like I know what's going on!"

"Mistress' mother must have erased your memories," Wiz nodded coming up with his own conclusion. "Would you like me to explain?"

"That would be nice," Alexis said. "Were not really going anywhere right now."

Wiz shuck himself, trying to get comfortable as he sat. Ojama yellow sat excited with his legs crossed looking at Wiz in awe. "When you were all young, you were all invited to Kaibaland for a special tournament," Wiz began. "However there was an attack and you were all captured, for one reason or another. The Shadow, as he calls himself, needed duel energy to be reborn. The easiest target for him was children."

"So he choose the most likely place for lots of children to be using duel energy," Axel explained.

"Correct," Wiz giggled. He got up walking over to Zane and taking a new seat on his shoulder. "Due to the traumatising events, mistress' mother felt it would be best to erase your memories. Though Jaden remember some of events."

"Wait," I piped up. "I wasn't there."

"True, you are an unusually face to me," Wiz laughed. "But I like you so who cares! Back to the point; all of you have one thing in common, Jaden. You all made friends with him easily and we think he acts as a portal, if you will, between my world and yours."

"Hence why he's the host," Bastion concluded and Wiz gave a nod confirming. "Are you able to get Jaden back?"

"Defeat the shadow," Ojama yelled, causing Chazz to sigh in embarrassment. "Defeat the Shadow and Jaden is set free."

I bit my lip, I'm not sure I can take this all in right now. All my friends, go protect them had their memories erased and now Jaden was too weak to fight back. I promised I'd look after him and I've failed. "Alternatively," Wiz began. "You can take away the Shadow's power source."

"His power source?" Zane asked.

"Yep! It'll most likely be a stone or tablet to drain spirits of their magical power," Wiz continued to explain.

I thought for a moment. Walking around the building we hadn't seen anything like that. Then it struck me, "could it be a person?"

The furry spirit seemed to think for a moment. "Possibly but who?"

"Emiko," Syrus exclaimed and I nodded. "The only other person with some sort of memory of the day."

Wiz seemed to panic as did Zane who started to struggle again. Again another shock went threw him. "Calm down," i yelled at him and getting everyones attention. "I have a plan,its going to be risky but it might be our best bet."
