Chereads / Soul Nite / Chapter 40 - Chapter 34

Chapter 40 - Chapter 34

The next day, Jerry and the others found out what happened in in the estate, they were briefed of what happened from the news, and later a phone call they made to Lara. Sadly, the boys were told that Lenard's condition was extremely critical, and said he probably won't see the next day. However, Tom was in much better shape, but still hadn't regained consciousness. From the night before till now Jerry never left their side, and only slept on a chair in between the two beds, one had Lenard and one had Tom. It was only 10a.m. in the morning when Lenard suddenly woke up…

Lenard; Je… ry…

Jerry; Lenard!

Jake; woa, you're awake!

Jerry to Lenard; calm down, don't say anything, just rest and…

Then Lenard placed his hand on Jerrys' and said, "there is something I need to tell you". Then he placed Jerry's hand on his chest and said. I'm actually a girl. At that point Jake's eyes were wide open in shock, C and K were both outside the room listening to everything.

Jerry to Lenard; yeah, I figured it out a while ago to be honest.

Lenard speaking slowly; I figured. I don't think I have much time, remember that novel I was working on?

Jerry; of course I do.

Lenard; yeah, it's still in my room back home, please read it, and as you read it remember me.

Jerry; I will.

Lenard; that makes me glad, you know, I always liked you. From that 1st time we met. But I was never planning to steal you from Lisa, I mean, how could I anyway? Please Jerry, take care of her for me, no matter what.

Jerry who was already tearing up nodded.

Lenard; I guess this is it, my only regret, was that I wasn't of better help to you Jerry, I wish I could have been something more. It kinda feels like a was just a minor character in a big story who just dies to keep the story interesting.

Jerry; Don't say that! Don't ever say that! even if we didn't know each other that long, you were still a good friend so don't ever forget that alright!

After hearing that, Lenard then smiled and looked at Jake saying, "don't ever lose to him". And he responded saying, "was never intending to". And Jake, don't make it easy for him. Then Jake responded "you sound like he could in the 1st place" Then she said, "tell Tom I loved his sword style for me, and C as well as K that I wished we could all visit the beach with Lisa and everyone". I will, said Jerry. She then smiled and then looked at Jerry and told him to come closer, then she kissed him in the mouth for just a moment. Then she said, I'm so glad you felt that way Jerry, now I have no regrets. As she said that, her heart rate began to plummet.

…Jerry… Thank you…

As she said that, she smiled as her heart rate stopped and then closed her eyes as her hand dropped. And only the sound of a long beep filled the room.

C and K both shed tears outside the room as they heard what happened, Jerry and Jake both whipped their faces as they left the room.

Jake; C, K, listen up.

Jerry; everyone, we're going back to Japan.

Then after leaving the hospital, Jerry went to Lisa's mansion to look for the novel, but found her diary instead, at 1st he didn't want to pry in, but thought I would help him find it, he took it with him. After a long talk with Dave, they booked a private flight to Japan and after going there, they were escorted by one of Lara's men to the estate. It was in a terrible state, the ounce beautiful estate, one of the best in the world was in a complete state of ruin, similar to a warzone. As Jerry looked around, he was baffled at the amount of death and despair there was everywhere. They finally came to where Lara was, at this time, several people were still missing and where being searched for as search and rescue teams were dispatched to the site.

Lara; well look who it is, our great saviour. Congrats on beating Con.

Jerry; what's with the sarcastic tone? It's only been a few months don't tell me you changed this much already?

Kagura; I know! Seriously! She acts that way because it makes her feel all high and mighty in front of all our troops, well guess what Lara dear, you're talking to your friends so you don't need that high and mighty act just drop it already its getting annoying. Also hey Lara's friends I'm Kagura, Lara's secret…

Lara; say one more word and I will kill you.

Kagura; right, right. Carry on then.

Jerry; anyway, Lara, I've made my decision and its time I act on it now.

Lara; alright, I'll have someone escort you to an I.D.P. camp. And one more thing I should tell you…

15 minutes later, Jerry was standing in the middle of the I.D.P. camp where all the injured were kept.

Jiro; Jerry!

Jerry; Jiro! Wait, where's Choki?

Jiro then frowned as he answered the question saying; We were both in an alleyway with Lisa when a maid showed up to warn us however it seemed she lead them right to us we were heavily outnumbered. There was no way out, so he and Lisa held them off so I could escape.

Jerry; so where's him now?

Jiro; in that tent over there getting treatment, he's still unconscious, he was beaten half to death. The Doctors said it was so bad that it would have been better if he was a civilian, because maybe he could have died peacefully that way.

Jerry; I'm so sorry to hear that, you know where Lisa is?

Jiro; she was taken to a private treatment facility. She was also roughed up but thanks to Choki, it wasn't as bad.

Jerry; that's all I needed to here, now then…

Then Jerry released qi from his body it was so intense that it felt like a huge gust of wind blew throughout the camp. Then everyone came to see what was going on and then Jerry spoke.

Jerry; now that I have everyone's attention, People of Ga-den, I am Jeremiah Joske Wilson, and I am the missing piece you heard formally about, but now after defeating Con, the man responsible for what happened here recently, I have full custody of all nite.

As people heard this, they began to gossip amongst themselves…

?; is what he's saying true?

?; I heard months ago that he was the missing piece but did he really defeat Con?

?; this is clearly bullshit! A boy like him defeated the one who did this to us?

?; you're right it sounds far-fetched to be true.

Jerry; I believe it is difficult for you all to accept what I'm saying, so allow me do demonstrate.

Jerry to a guy with a broken leg; hey you over there.

?; huh, me?

Jerry; yes you, look at me.

?; ok.

Jerry; then suddenly Jerry's body began to glow slightly and so did the man until…

?; wait, I can feel nite in my body again, and wait a minute, I can walk! I can walk!

[btw; what was happening was being broadcasted throughout the entire estate via a drone camera which was borrowed from Lara's security team]

After seeing what happened everyone was shocked at there was no doubt left that what Jerry was saying was true. Everyone was shocked at what happened, but then Jerry spoke, "as you can see, I can heal and restore nite into someone *thanks to that chat with Lara that is* and I can do it for all of you under one condition, I become your secret ruler. When everyone heard this, there we're mixed reactions…

?; what! So just because you beat Con you get to act all cocky?

?; hey, I'm not sure I mind as long as I can use nite again.

?; Don't you remember that this is the same guy who assaulted Darui? Why should we listen to him?

Then Jerry spoke, "before I say anything else, I want to clarify that I was assaulted by Darui that night, and what I did was in self-defence and nothing more, but if you still have a problem with me, I can just take my leave after all, I have months of anime to catch up to anyway so I'll give you the next 3 days to decide.

WAIT!

Jerry then turned back to see who said that, it was Yuzawa, it turned out he was listening to everything that was said.

Yuzawa; I was briefed on the situation just minutes before you left Lara, I was sceptical about you at 1st but now I'm convinced. Now that we have been severely weakened, our enemies and rivals have begun to take action and want to destroy us as soon as possible so If you can bring us back to our full strength then there's not a doubt in my mind. I, Yuzawa of the 5 pillars of the Ga-den clan acknowledge you as our secret leader and I doubt any other pillar will be object to this.

After he said this, people were shocked saying…

?; what!

?; why is Yuzawa-san listening to him.

?; I don't know what's going on, but as a Yuzawa fan and follower I'm with him.

?; I'm with him as well.

?; if he can bring us back up then I'm with him.

?; same here!

[the truth is, Yuzawa was the 2nd most popular pillar after Uzumaki, and man, what a nice guy!]

And like that almost the entire camp acknowledged Jerry as leader. Then 1 hour later after speaking with Akimichi and Kurotsuchi, it was then made official, since Uzumaki and Darui where nowhere to be found at the time. Then Jerry with Jake beside him, was standing on top a building.

Jerry; you know, this kinda reminds me of that time a few years ago when we did this contest to see who could climb a building the fastest.

Jake; and as usual, you beat me.

Jerry; I did didn't I, it was a fun game though.

Jake; it sure was, listen, I think I'm going to take it easy over our winter assignments, after all, It's not like a test or anything.

Jerry; I see your point, * yeah, right, even you know that isn't going to work*

Then Jerry's body began to glow, he then began to spread nite in every direction until it created a dome throughout the estate. Restoring nite and healing everyone within the dome.

Jake, then placed his hand on Jerry's shoulder and said; let me help you.

And the two boys then resonated with each other boosting the spread.

Jerry; it's done, thanks btw.

Jake; wana check out the maid café after seeing Lisa.

Jerry; absolutely.

Last chapter coming soon!

Meanwhile just outside the Ga-den hospital…

Shizuma; I need to inform Master Darui about this! I can't believe what Uzumaki would do this! Although, If I inform Master about this, our problems would be solved and the biggest threat to master would be solved!

A few hours later…

Darui; are you certain about this?

Shizuma; I am sir, I swear it on my own life and loyalty.

Darui; good, tell no one of this until further notice, I'll handle the rest.

Shizuma; ok master.

Darui; *it seems my greatest enemy was a traitor all along, however now my position has never been at a worse state, especially since that boy will begin calling the shots, I need to find a way to use this to my maximum advantage If I ever want to be on top in this clan*.

Later that night, Jerry and Jake were standing in front of a hospital door.

Jake; I'll give you some privacy.

Jerry; thanks, I'll be out in a few minutes.

Jake; take all the time you need.

Jerry; I still can't believe it's the final chapter already.

Jake; feels like just yesterday the 1st one dropped.

Jerry; honestly, let's end this in style.

Jake; agreed.
