Chapter 6: Battle in the mind
Jack's PoV: *In the dreamscape* (dive into the heart)
I sat in the grey grassland deep in thought. 'What am I going to do?' I thought to myself, 'Shade is going to kill them if I let him!' "Your Damn right I will." the spirit in question sneered behind me. I jumped onto my feet and summoned my Oathkeeper sword, a pure white blade with a blue star shaped symbol on it's hilt, and stood in a defensive stance. "I'm guessing your not here for a friendly chat?" I said sarcastically. He scoffed and summoned Oblivion, a pitch black blade with a green gem that has bat wings coming out of both sides of it on the hilt of the blade. "Must you be an idiot?" He asked. "Must YOU be a complete psychopath?" I sneered. "We both know that you can't stall me for long so why bother?" He said as he got into a battle stance,(face it) "once I kill you here I will take over your body and kill those freaks you call family." I growled as he said this but what he said next unleashed my inner beast! "And I'll be sure to give that TB girl a slow and painful death." He chuckled darkly. I thrust my sword towards him and even though he blocked it, the force of the blow sent him skidding across the landscape. "YOU WON'T LAY A HAND ON HER!" I roared as I Charged at him, "I'LL MAKE SURE YOU DIE A SLOW DEATH!"
TB's PoV: *In the dreamscape* (Dive into the heart)
"Hello? Anyone there?" I called out into the grey landscape. "Where am I?" I thought. "TB? is that you?" a familiar voice asked. I turned around and saw Goldie standing there looking shocked at my presence. "Goldie!" I shouted, "Where are we?" "We'er in Jack's dreamscape...but how are you here?" He asked. "I don't know. I went to sleep and then this happened!" I said. "*sigh* Ok. I'll try to figure out what's going on but in the mean time you need to stay with me." He said. I nodded and we started walking. (Fragments of Sorrow) Suddenly I heard a loud explosion come from the distance! "What was that!?" I shouted. Goldie was about to answer when Jack and, who I assumed was Shade, appeared and started teleporting around us clashing with swords? YOU WON'T HARM MY FAMILY!" Jack yelled as he fought. "Oh I'll do more than harm them." Shade chuckled darkly, "I'm going to kill them all!" I started to back away from them slowly then shrieked in fear as an ice shard flew past my head. Jack looked at me and his eyes grew wide, "TB!? What are you doing here!?" he yelled as he shoved Shade away. "I don't know! I just-WATCH OUT!" I yelled as Shade tried to strike Jack from behind. Jack quickly spun around and blocked his attack. "Gold! Get TB out of here now!" he yelled as he struggled to hold Shade back. Gold grabbed my hand and tried to drag me away from them. "Wait! We have to help him!' I shouted as I pulled my arm away. "We don't stand a chance against him!" Goldie said a he grabbed me again. I knew he wouldn't let me help so I decided to try something crazy. "This better work." I muttered as I began to concentrate my thoughts.
Jack's Pov: (Fragments of Sorrow)
I struggled to keep up with Shade as he unleashed a ruthless onslaught. "Give it up Rose! You weren't stronger than me then and you won't be now!" He yelled as our blades clashed. "Well see about that! You forget we're in MY mind so I have the upper hand!" I snapped back. Suddenly, the land began to shake and crack under us. "What the hell!?" Shade cried as the ground either split or crumbled leaving platforms and pillars everywhere. 'This must be TB's doing.' I thought. I looked around and the placement of the pillars gave me an idea. "Hey Shade!" I called. He turned to me with an annoyed look in his eye. "Let's see if you can keep up with this attack!" I said as I jumped onto the side of one of the pillars then kicked off it with powerful force. Shade had no time to react as I struck him with my blade. As soon as I hit the next pillar I kicked off and struck shade again. This continued for a short time until Shade finally snapped. "YOU DAMN BRAT! DO YOU THINK YOU CAN WIN WITH ONE SIMPLE CIRCUS TRICK!?" he roared as he grabbed me by the throat in mid-air. I struggled to pry his hand off me but to no avail. "I'll make you scream for mercy." he said as he threw me into a pillar with a destructive force that left a crater in it. I had no time to recover as Shade tried to skewer me with his blade. I moved out of the way just in time making Shade get his sword stuck in the stone pillar. "Gotcha!" I said as I grabbed him and threw him onto the nearest platform. I landed a small distance from him and waited for him to stand up. When he did I began to charge my final attack. "NO YOU DON'T" Shade cried as he tried to stop me only to be frozen in time by my spell. "It's over!" I shouted as I slashed him 5 times while he was still frozen. When my spell wore off Shade cried out in pain and fell to the ground. I put my blade to his neck,daring him to move. "You may have won this time. But I swear that one day you will know my pain!" he snarled. With that said, he disappeared and the landscape returned to normal. I sighed in relief and sat down. "...I did not think that would work." I muttered. The land began to disappear as I woke up.
TB's Pov: *reality* (Lazy afternoons)
I woke up with a jolt and tried to calm down. 'What just happened?'
A/N: Ok now this wasn't in the original plan but I needed to explain/add things so expect more chapters like this.
