Sara glanced around the remains of the Slifer Dorm.
"Such precious guinea pigs gone to waste," she mumbled.
She kneeled.
"I may have lost the spell but I am also free of Jaden and his rebellious little pets," she said happily.
"I wasn't aware demons could have pets."
Sara spun around, spotting Jaden instantly. He smiled.
"Honey, I'm home," he joked.
Sara crossed her arms.
"Very cute," she spat.
Jaden smiled.
"Thought you'd think so."
He held up some pages.
"So, am I back in your favor or am I still on the hit list?"
Sara grinned, running to him.
"I can't believe you'd do this. For me!" she cried.
Jaden smiled.
"Trust me it was easier than even you thought," he said.
Sara hugged him.
"Now I can make an army! Finally witches like my teacher and Yuko won't look down on me! They'll see the full potential of a witch like me," she cheered.
Jaden smirked.
"What about priestesses?" he asked.
"Please, as long as I leave them their stupid temples, they'll leave me alone," she said. "And the Kitsune siblings?"
Sara looked at him.
"What are you saying?" she asked.
Jaden shrugged.
"Oh nothing. Except you're about to get burnt by fire, thrashed by water, crushed by earth and, my favorite, blown away by wind."
"What?" Sara asked.
Jaden smiled, leaping into the air. Sara turned as a ball of fire crashed into her. Sara cried out, waving her hands. The fire vanished but a splash of cold water hit Sara from behind. She whirled around, her wet hair clinging to her face. No one was behind her. The ground began to shake and Sara's leg was swallowed by the ground.
"What!" she yelled.
A blast of air hit her, lifting her into the air and dropping her to the ground. Slowly, Sara looked up, finding a blue heeled boot in her sights. She followed it up to a leg and then a blue skirt and so on, finally reaching Alexis's face.
"Impossible," she said. "I killed you."
"Not really," Alexis remarked.
Sara scrambled to her feet.
"How?" she asked.
Alexis shrugged.
"I'm a priestess," she said.
Sara lunged forward, her power gathering around her fists. Alexis dodged, jumping to the side. Her hands became engulfed in white energy which turned into a dragon. Sara's power twisted around her, becoming a tiger. Their two energies flew at each other, causing a large rift. Sara pushed with all her might, trying to overpower Alexis. Alexis felt herself sliding back. Sara was so much stronger. Her dragon started to flicker, as if it was going to disappear. Alexis closed her eyes, ignoring everything else going on around her and focusing. Something touched her shoulder and her right arm. Alexis opened her eyes, seeing Jaden. His left hand was holding her left shoulder and his right hand was placed gently on her right arm.
"Jaden?" she asked.
Jaden smiled.
"Let's beat her, Lex," he said.
Alexis nodded, pushing with all her might.
"Hey, Sara!" she yelled.
Sara didn't reply.
"My soul may be pure but my attitude isn't."
With that, Alexis leapt to the side, running around Sara's power. Jaden lifted himself into the air.
"Zane, Jesse, Jim, Hassleberry, cover Alexis!" he yelled.
Sara clenched her teeth together as a wall of the four elements surrounded Alexis. "Thanks guys!" Alexis called.
Sara couldn't see her but she could hear her. Suddenly, Alexis was behind her. Without even realizing it, the elemental wall had surrounded her. Alexis lifted her hand, letting it become overcome by a white light.
"I can't save you. I can't help you. So, I have to get rid of you," she said.
Sara's eyes widened as the light came at her.
"NO!" she screamed as it pierced through her.
Alexis shielded her eyes as the light grew, surrounding all of Duel Academy Island. Alexis waited a few minutes before reopening her eyes. When she did, she could see Slifer Dorm in the distance, standing as it had always stood. Alexis smiled a bit.
"I WILL GET HER!"
Alexis spun around. Zane, Jim, Jesse and Hassleberry were kneeling next to each one of the Kitsune Siblings. Alexis studied Tempus and RuRu. Tempus had short, spiked red hair. Well, actually fur. She literally had the body of a fox except for the fact that she was walking on two legs. As was RuRu, who had brown hair caked with mud and dirt. Their eyes matched their fur. Alexis looked around for Jaden.
"Nice work," he said, from behind her.
Alexis turned. He still had his demon features. Alexis stared at him, a little disappointed. Her power had rid Duel Academy Island of any trace of Sara. Why hadn't Jaden changed back? Jaden smiled.
"Lex, I'm still me. Sara never took that," he said.
Alexis smiled.
"Uh, speaking of Sara," Hassleberry said, pointing to a pile of clothes.
They were Sara's.
"But, she was-"
"She was a witch's apprentice," Yuko interrupted.
They all turned as she walked closer, carrying both Mokonas.
"Sara was never truly real. She was created by a witch friend of mine. She wanted an apprentice. A perfect one. Every obsession she had for power was transferred into Sara. Sara couldn't help be who she was. It was exactly how she was created and raised and taught," Yuko explained.
"Why is it the bad guy always has an angsty back story that makes you feel bad for them?" Jesse asked.
The clothes began to move.
"AHHH!" Hassleberry cried.
They heard pitiful sniffs. Yuko held out her hand.
"Come to me, dear. Judgment is not your enemy here," she said.
A tiny ball floated out of the clothes and drifted over to Yuko's waiting hand. She smiled. "Hello again, Sara," she greeted.
Alexis walked closer.
"What's going to happen to her?" she asked.
Yuko sighed.
"She'll be sent to dimension where time and space is frozen. No longer will she be a threat."
Yuko looked at Jaden.
"Is that an acceptable punishment?" she asked.
Jaden stared at the orb.
"Yeah. An eternal sleep sounds like what she deserves," he said.
Yuko closed her hand around Sara.
"And so it is done," she said.
She smiled again.
"Good night, Sara."
Krios stood, brushing himself off.
"Now then, Yuko, we-"
"Come see me sometime. Got it. And I will be watching," Yuko was saying to both Jaden and Alexis.
They nodded and then Yuko was surrounded by light.
"Hey!" Krios yelled.
But Yuko was already gone. Mage laughed.
"Time for us to head home and start rebuilding," she said.
With that, she hugged Alexis.
"Stay safe," Mage coached.
With that, she vanished, leaving only a pleasant breeze. Alexis smiled as each one vanished.
"I'll miss them," Hassleberry said.
"Me too."
(Later that night:Time skip, fear them)
Alexis couldn't help but wander away from the large party to wander by the docks. She smiled out at the ocean.
"I may have nightmares for weeks but I had fun," she muttered.
Someone was standing by the water, just staring at the moon. Alexis smiled.
"Jaden!" she called.
He turned to her, smiling. Alexis managed not to break into a run. Instead she walked calmly to his side. Jaden slipped one hand around her waist. In one smooth movement, without knocking heads or hitting teeth, they kissed.
"Sorry," Jaden said, as he broke the kiss first.
"For what?" Alexis inquired.
Was he sorry for kissing her? She certainly wasn't. Jaden smirked a bit.
"Sorry for making you jealous when I made you think I was dating Sara," he said.
Alexis blushed but hoped Jaden's demon eyes couldn't see it in the dark.
"I most certainly was not," she said.
Jaden snorted.
"Lex, please. It was obvious," he laughed.
He kissed her cheek.
"I knew from the beginning. When I told everyone I was in love. You should've seen your face," Jaden teased.
Alexis turned to him.
"Remember the time I pushed you in the water?" she asked.
"Not really," Jaden admitted.
"Well, now you do!" Alexis laughed, shoving Jaden into the ocean.
"Lex!" he yelled.
But she was already running straight for Slifer Dorm.
