Chapter Eight: Pale

Giese flew over the oceans just as the planets allined, and then the oceans parted, revealing a huge cage at the bottom of the ocean. Inside of it were five struggling pairs of eyeballs, showing that there were five beings down there.

"Brothers! My Titans! Look at you in your prison! Who put you down there?!" Giese shouted to the Titans. A hand appeared from the cage, made of ice.

"Yubel!!" five deep voices growled out. Giese smirked and then blasted the cage, allowing it to open up.

"And now that I set you free, what is the first thing you are going to do!?" the god of death shouted. Suddenly, five hands, no... Five fists shot from the ground and appeared from the cage, raised with pride and happiness.

"Destroy him!" the five voice chanted in loud voices. Giese smirked.

"Good answer..." he stated with a laugh and an evil smirk. The Titans then slowly rose up from their prison, towering over the land. Adrian and Bastion stepped towards Olympus, their eyes narrowed in rage at it before they stomped on the ground.

"Destroy Yubel!" they both shouted before taking off slowly towards the direction where he believed Yubel to be. Chazz lifted his head up into the air and then glanced around with an evil smirk on his pale lips.

"Freeze him!" the ice Titan hollered before he opened his lips and breathed a chain of ice onto the lands below.

"Melt him!" Axel hollered as he appeared and poured lava over the land.

"Blow him away!" Crowler shouted as he twisted the lands and rippled the winds up. The titans headed towards the direction that they believed Yubel to rest in, and then Giese cleared his throat, causing the titans to glance back.

"Olympus would be that way..." he said pointing to the mountain behind him. The titans remained silence before they roared out Yubel's name and then stormed towards the mountain where the gods lived. "Hold on, I have a job for you, my friend..." Giese smiled at the cyclops, Chumley.

Meanwhile, Atticus was smiling as he swung his legs off the cloud where he was sitting. He was content in the little area where he was resting.

"Destroy Yubel!" voices chanted. Atticus glanced down and gasped when he spotted the Titans.

"Oh, we're in trouble! Big, big trouble!!" the brunette screamed before flying off to Haou and Yubel, who were sitting together talking. "My lord and master, the Titans have escaped! And they're practically at our gates!" Atticus shouted.

"Sound the alarm! Launch an immediate counter attack! Go, go!!" Yubel shouted.

"Gone, babe!" Atticus yelled before flying off and sounding the Titan alarm. The gods all got ready and prepared to fight, but the Titans merely swatted them away like flies. Bastion and Adrian rose up before kicking down the gates to Olympus.

"Boom-badaboom-boom-boom!" Giese cheered from the carrage he was sitting in. "Ha!"

---Meanwhile in Thebes---

"Jesse! Where are you!?" Chumley growled as he terrorized the town, ripping buildings up out of the ground to try and find the bluenette. People screamed and ran around in terror, trying to avoid getting crushed, while Chumley still looked for the bluenette.

"Jesse! Come out and face me!!" the giant shouted. Meanwhile, Jesse was watching from the distance, his pale and dull eyes resting on Chumley. With a sigh, he slowly walked towards the area where he was. Jaden gasped and raced in front of Jesse.

"What are you doing? Without your strength, you'll be killed!" Jaden said with terror in his voice. Jesse weakly glanced down at Jaden before slowly pushing him away.

"There are worse things..." he said before stumbling towards Chumley. When he faced him, Chumley cackled and then smashed his fist into Jesse, forcing the bluenette into the wall hard. Jaden gasped in terror as he saw his beloved being battered around. He then raced off to find Sapphire.

When he found him, he found that Sapphire had been tied up. Jaden raced up and started untying Sapphire. "Jesse's in trouble! We have to find Jim! He's the only one that Jesse will listen to!" Jaden shouted. Sapphire nodded and then picked up Jaden before flying off towards the area where Jim was.

---Off with Jim---

Jim stomped towards the boat that was about to depart, but Jaden suddenly appeared before him with Sapphire. "Jim, you have to help Jesse! He won't listen to me!" the brunette pleaded to the ravenette. Jim scoffed.

"Good! He's finally learning something!" he yelled. Jaden shook his head.

"Jim, this isn't about me! It's about him! If you don't do something Jim, he'll die!" the brunette shouted, causing Jim's teal eyes to widen in shock.

"I need more tunderbolts!" Yubel shouted, reaching back to try and find some. He found out that everyone had been captured, so it was pointless to try and attempt it. The bluenette glanced up in shock as Axel appeared before him and spat lava onto him. Chazz then spat ice onto him, freezing the lava.

"Yubel, I'm home!" Giese shouted, copying Ricky from I Love Lucy. Yubel glanced back and gasped in shock.

"Giese... You're behind this?!" he shouted, gritting his teeth in rage as he saw the other gods and Haou chained up by dark magic and god-binding chains. Giese smirked and raised his pointer-finger into the air.

"You are correct, sir!" he shouted with a loud cackle.

---Back in Thebes---

Jesse was getting beaten up badly by Chumley, who seemed to be having fun smashing Jesse up. He finally kicked Jesse into the wall hard, and then the bluenette crumpled weakly to the ground with a moan. Jim, Jaden, and Sapphire appeared, and jesse gasped weakly.

"J-Jim..." the bluenette gasped as he saw his mentor appear. Jim raced over to Jesse.

"C'mon, kid! Get up! You can take this guy!" the ravenette shouted. Jesse shook his head and cast a look over at Jaden, who was biting his lips in shock.

"You were right, Jim. Dreams are for rookies..." Jesse said in a weak voice. Jim shook his head.

"No. I misled you. You have what it takes. I believe in you," the ravenette smiled. Before he could say anything more, Chumley grabbed Jesse, but not before Jesse grabbed a piece of burning wood and then threw it at Chumley's head, hitting him in the eye. Chumley screamed and dropped Jesse.

Jesse then grabbed pieces of rope and tied it around Chumley's legs, causing the cyclops to tumble and then fall off the edge of the cliff, landing at the bottom with a loud splat. The force of the blast caused a large pillar to start toppling.

Right above Jesse, who didn't even notice...

SPIRITSHIPPING 4 EVER

"Jesse, watch out!!" Jaden hollered suddenly, shoving Jesse away just as the pillar collapsed fully onto the hard ground. Jesse rolled on the ground, coughing, when suddenly he heard the pillar hit the ground with a loud thud.

Jesse gasped, glancing back to see if the brunette he cared so deeply about had escaped. He gasped when he saw Jaden laying on the ground on his back, the pillar laying across his stomach and chest area. His eyes were closed and he wasn't breathing as easily.

"Jaden!! NOOO!!!!!" Jesse hollered, racing to where Jaden was trapped. He grabbed the pillar and tried to pry it off, trying with all his might. Suddenly, his god-like strength returned, and Jesse lifted the pillar off Judai as easily as lifting a pencil.

"W-what's happening?" Jesse asked in confusion, staring up at the pillar that he was holding over his head with no effort. Jaden groaned in pain and squeezed his fist closed to try and cancel the pain before he slowly looked up at Jesse.

"G-Giese's deal is broken..." Jaden whispered before moaning in pain and then allowing his head to roll to the side weakly. "Unn... H-he promised you that I wouldn't get hurt," the brunette whispered, groaning weakly in pain again.

"Jaden..!!" Jesse whispered in shock, dropping to his knees after dropping the pillar to the ground with a loud thud. He slowly lifted Jaden's head and shoulders up with his right arm, holding the brunette's hand with his left hand.

"J-Jaden... why did you-" Jesse whispered at a loss for words, glancing up and down Jaden's body before looking back up into his brown eyes. "Y-you didn't have to-" Jesse was interrupted by the brunette smiling and shaking his head, laughing weakly.

"Uhh... P-people do... crazy things..." Jaden groaned weakly when he paused and then smiled weakly at Jesse with happiness filling his eyes, canceling out the pain that filled them more than anything. "For the one they love..." Jesse felt his heart skip.

"Oh, Jaden..." Jesse whispered in a shocked voice, tears filling his eyes, but he refused to let them fall. "Jaden... I... I..." Jesse stopped when Jaden placed his hand on Jesse's cheek and smiled warmly at him, even if it was weakly.

"You don't have much time, Jesse. You can still defeat Giese," Jaden whispered softly before he moaned weakly in pain. Jesse slowly shook his head and then stared into Jaden's weak brown eyes.

"I... I can't just leave you like this..." the bluenette whispered in concern. Jim came over and placed a hand on Jesse's shoulder.

"I'll watch over him for you," he said in a calm voice, staring in concern for Jaden. He may not have liked Jaden in the beginning, but he had soon learned that Jaden wasn't so bad after all. Jesse nodded slowly and stared at Jaden in concern.

"You're gonna be all right. I promise," Jesse whispered to Jaden. Jaden nodded slowly in return. Jesse gently brushed a piece of Jaden's hair away from his face and snuggled into the brunette's soft neck. Jesse then sat up fully and looked over at Jim.

"Take care of him, Jim. Please," Jesse begged, fear for the weakened brunette coloring his tone. Jim nodded slowly and sat next to Jaden, as if guarding him. Jesse then slowly stroked Jaden's hand, which was getting colder and colder by the second.

"You'll be all right, Jaden. I promise you that. I promise you'll be all right," the bluenette whispered softly, as to not startle the brunette. Jaden nodded and slowly closed his eyes, groaning in pain as sweat started pouring down his forehead.

Jesse released Jaden's hand, but not before placing a kiss on it. He then stood up, gently letting Jaden's hand slip from his grasp and the bluenette went to Sapphire Pegasus. He grabbed the reigns and leapt onto the flying horse's back.

"Let's go, Sapphire!" he yelled, determination filling his tone as he and the Sapphire horse rose into the air towards Olympus, leaving Jim and Jaden to pray that he returned safely and totally unharmed.

And hopefully in time.

---On Mount Olympus---

"Hup, two three four! C'mon, everyone! I can't hear you!!" Hassleberry shouted as almost every god was walking with chains wrapped around their wrists and throats. Haou weakly glanced over at Yubel, who was still being covered by the freezing lava that Axel and Chazz were shooting at him.

"I swear to you, Giese... When I get out of here..." Yubel growled before he found himself fully covered in the frozen lava. Giese smirked and then sat down on a throne that appeared behind him, and he laughed lightly that his plan was working out.

"Don't get to comfortable, Giese!" Jesse suddenly hollered, making Giese glance back with shock in his eyes, and then he growled when he saw Jesse come flying towards the gods, who were all cheering for him. "This outta even us out!" Jesse yelled, cutting the chains on the gods' wrists. Giese growled angrilly.

"Get him!" he shouted, and Axel shot lava at the bluenette, but it missed and covered Giese, who merely spat it and shook his head. "No, not me! Him!!" he shouted, pointing at Jesse as Chazz shot ice crystals at him, but they all missed as well. "Follow the fingers! Him!" Giese yelled as he was suddenly frozen. "The yutz with the horse!" he said through grit teeth.

Sapphire dropped Jesse off by the pile of frozen lava that had become Yubel, and Jesse tore it open, freeing his father. Giese growled and shouted in rage, while Yubel smiled and placed his hands on Jesse's shoulders with a smile.

"Thank you, my son," he said before grabbing lightning bolts and smirking. "Now, watch your old man work!"

"Uh oh!" Adrian and bastion shouted before they both tried to run away. Yubel threw lightning bolts at them, and the two Rock Titans were thrown to the ground with loud thuds, crying out in rage and terror. Giese glared at the Titans as they began to run away in terror.

"Guys! Get your titanic rears in gear and kick some Olympian butt!" Giese shouted as his hair caught fire, and because of this, Sapphire blew it out. "Whoa, is my hair gone?" Giese asked as Sapphire laughed. But Giese's hair returned in an instant.

Jesse grabbed Crowler, the wind Titan, and sucked up the others before pegging them into the distance, sending them all into the death blast, which destroyed the lot of them. Yubel and the others gods cheered, alone with Jesse.

"Thanks a ton, superboy!" Giese yelled suddenly as he started to make his escape. Jesse growled and stated to follow Giese when the crazy man laughed evilly. "But at least I have a good prize to make up for it! A friend of yours who is dying to see me!" he laughed evilly. Jesse suddenly stopped and gasped.

"Jaden!" he breathed in shock.

SPIRITSHIPPING 4 EVER

Jaden groaned and squeezed his eyes shut. He felt Jim squeeze his hand once again. Jaden opened his eyes half way and looked weakly up at Jim. "Hang in there, Jaden," Jim begged in a concerned voice. Jaden nodded slowly as another wave of pain went through his body. The brunette's head rolled weakly to the side as he started to go limp.

"Come on, Jaden! You have to hang in there! Jesse needs you! Be strong, Jaden," Jim yelled in a pleading voice. Jaden slowly nodded and slowly let his brown eyes open weakly. He then glanced off in the area where Jesse had gone to fight the Titans.

"I-I'll.... try..." Jaden whispered softly before moaning weakly in pain.

---In the Underworld---

Nightshroud, Zane, and Aster raised a black piece of string in front of themselves. Aster smirked evilly and pulled out a pair of rusty old scissors. The Fates then moved the scissors closer to the string, their eyes filled with malice and sick pleasure.

---Back on Earth---

Jesse and Sapphire flew towards the place where Jaden and Jim were located. Jesse panted as the wind blew harshly, praying that he would make it to Jaden in time. Sapphire hurried too, wanting to get there before something happened to Jaden. He knew how much Jesse loved Jaden.

The fates put the scissors closer as Jesse grew nearer towards the area where Jaden was resting. Jesse sped up, praying that he would make it to Jaden in time. Finally, the Fates snipped the scissors, cutting the string in half.

And Jaden's body went limp.

SPIRITSHIPPING 4 EVER

"Jaden!" Jesse breathed as he landed on the ground with Sapphire, leaping off the horse and landed gently, concern in his green eyes. Jim looked over his shoulder at Jesse and slowly shook his head sadly. Jesse gasped as Jim pulled away, revealing Jaden.

Jaden appeared to be sleeping, but his chest was no longer rising and falling. His skin was pale, deathly pale. Paler than it should have been. Jaden's eyes were closed, but his lips were parted, as if he had tried to say something before he left this world. Jesse shuddered and felt tears forming in his green eyes.

"J-Jaden... no!!" Jesse sobbed, dropping to his knees and pulling the limp brunette into an embrace. He choked out loud sobs and buried his head into Jaden's cold neck. Jesse lifted the brunette's head and embraced him again, sobbing over the brunette.

He looked at Jaden's calm face and sobbed harder. The bluenette meantally damned fate for allowing this to happen. He couldn't believe that Jaden was gone! Jesse then placed Jaden gently on the ground and buried his head in the brunette's chest, sobbing his heart out. Jim appeared behind Jesse.

"I-I'm so sorry, Jess. B-but some things... like this... Y-you can't change them," Jim said sadly, tears rolling down his cheeks as he stared at the dead brunette. Jesse glared a deadly glare and lifted his head, aiming his glare towards the passage to the underworld in the distance.

"Yes, I can..."
