"Jack?" He'd been looking for a while now. Jack had been missing for a few days, his cousin had said that there had been some family troubles and Jack stormed out in a hysteric rage. No one had seen him since. So while Chase and Kimiko had begun searching the other side of town while Rai went alone, heading to the junk yard. Jack always went there when he needed to think.

"Are you here man? We haven't seen you in two days, where are you?" Worry seeped into his voice, making his ways around the mountains of scrap metal. Taking a left turn he smiled in relief, running over to his finally found friend.

"Dude finally! You scared the crap out of us, we hadn't heard from you or anything." He put a hand on Jack's shoulder, smiling at him but getting no response. He looked to the boys arm, he was wearing his magic outfit, and his shoulder was freezing to the touch. Jack was always kind of cold but this was ridiculous. "Jack? Why are you in this form anyway?... Jack?"

The next thing he knew he was slammed back into a large mound of cars, the wind knocked out of him with a blow to his stomach. He rubbed his head, blinking a few times to make sure he wasn't seeing things.

Jack stood in the same post-swing position he'd been in, the large hammer held out to the side. He stared at the injured boy and the weapon fell a bit as he began walking closer. Raimundo leapt up in a frenzy, completely shocked and confused at what was going on.

"Jack!? What's going on!?" He jumped out of the way, watching the cars he'd just smashed into get crushed by a surprisingly strong blow. "Answer me!" Another swing, another jump out of the way. He stared at Jack, trying to figure out what was wrong when he saw it.

Jack wasn't there anymore.

With another swing, Raimundo leapt away and touched the green pendent around his neck, it glowed and within seconds her was ready to fight, his own weapon in hand. He blocked another hit, pushing Jack away with his sword.

"Jack, come on man! It's alright, just calm down it'll-" He couldn't finish, rolling out of the way as the Hammer was aimed for his head. Raimundo gulped in anxious fear. He couldn't attack him. He stood and began blocking several attempts, each one stronger and faster than the last, one eventually sending him flying again, hitting the middle of another pile of junk. Raimundo groaned, falling to the ground and gripping the handle of his sword tighter.

"Jack, I don't want to fight you." He wobbled to stand, Jack was still silent and dead eyed as he swung again. Raimundo was able to jump out of the way, belly flopping only a few feet over. He rolled over and stared up, watching the large hammer being lifted before being slammed down. He rolled again, narrowly escaping the hit. He stood up, shaking in fear and nauseous sadness.

"Please! Snap out of it!" Jack swung again, Raimundo jumped back to dodge it. He gripped the sword tighter, tears finally making their way down his cheeks. "I know you're in there!" Jack didn't respond at all, he only kept swinging and trying to hit Raimundo.

Back against another car, shaking, crying and terrified of what would happen, Raimundo gave up. When the hammer swung down, Raimundo sliced up towards it. Jack was gone. And what was left would do nothing but cause pain for everyone. It was his job to fight people like that. He had a contract.

"Jack. I don't want to do this, but I will if I have too." With only a continued, lifeless stare, Raimundo kicked Jack away before running at him, sword poised for action. He swung, aiming for the only thing that would stop Jack.

Jack dodged and blocked him, keeping the bright red gem safe. But he could only do it for so long.

With a final swing, Raimundo hit the gem, watching as it shattered and his friend fell down. He dropped his sword, falling to his knees and finally letting out uncontrollable sobs, shaking and gasping as he kept thinking about what he'd done.

As metal clanged on impact not too far from him, he glanced upward, barely able to see through his blurry eyes who was standing across from him. They jumped down, landing in a dull thud and staring at the unbelievable sight. They both walked closer to Raimundo, sitting beside him in attempts to comfort him. Hours passed before they left, leaving the body in the junk yard. They would take care of it properly later, but for now it could wait. It was his favorite spot after all.
