You Got Jacked!

"Dude…"
"Shut up!"
"Y-Your face…"
"Once your gone I'll be free to go on with my life."
"A life…dats what you call it? A lie you mean! Kimiko doesn't lo-"
"AUHHASTOP! Please!"
"Dat's what you've put me through you sorry son of a monkey…Take it…take it Jack." He sobs. "But give her back to me…der all gone."
"At what cost…shall I keep this woman I love Pedrosa?"
Chapter Twenty-One: The plan thus far
"All of them?"
"Except for Pedrosa…"
"And you left him alive?"
"He…" The voice trails off.
"That was most unwise. But you say he left you with all of his Wu?"
"Yes he…" The voice is muffled and can hardly be heard.
"In exchange for her…how foolish of him to believe in you."
"What are you saying?" The voice rises to a stammering whine.
"I am saying…that she will not be returned."
"But I told him…I gave him my word, I have t-"
"Your word is useless."
"I promised!"
"Silence."
"But Chas-"
"I said quiet! You will not, by any means give her back to Pedrosa."
"But why?" The voice questions.
"Because, you simple minded fool…if we keep her, he'll come right to us for the final stage of the extermination." He chuckles evilly. "Once he's gone we'll be free to finish our plan for world domination."
"What…if…" The voice trails off once more.
"Enough of your impudent behavior!"
Wuya eagerly leans against the thick door to Chase's study as she hears a loud crash and small whimper followed by the gentle sound of Chase's powerful footsteps. Inside the Heylin overlord beats some sense into young Spicer…while outside his right hand lackey snickers to herself, her newfound happiness attained through Jack's pain.
"How delightful. Poor Jack." She whispers to herself as she shifts away from the door. Straightening out her new forest green robe and running a hand through her red hair the once all-powerful Heylin witch heads down the hall.
She finds her destination in a locked door. With some of her powers remaining, Wuya is able to open this particularly weak hole in Chase's security system. After all, how many warriors could escape the grounds even if they managed to escape the dungeon?
Most of the cages are empty…it was trash day a week earlier so the dead (And nearly dead) prisoners were all disposed of. The long, narrow, damp passageway goes on into the shadows as the cage numbers never seem to end. If she did not already know what she was looking for, there would be no way she would ever find it.
And as she reaches the deepest and darkest part of the dungeon…where the rats stop scrounging because of disease and the ground is moist from unnatural blood. Wuya stops for a moment in her slow pace and leans her head to one side to hear that familiar tune. She smiles to herself as she quickens her pace and approaches the cause of the gentle humming.
Of course he's the one humming. The pale boy with the simpering grin and the pale skin, his hair ruffled and his clothes faded. He looks thinner than he did a few days ago…perhaps no one fed him?
"Awfully happy for someone who hasn't seen any sunshine for two weeks."
The boy looks up, his energy is all but almost gone. He preferred to sing, but he just did not have the strength. His head lifts enough to look at her and he curves the edges of his mouth to indicate his joy of having company.
"Look, kid…I know you hate it down here. It's drab, don't be ashamed to show other emotions besides happiness. You're trying to make the best of this? I don't blame you…." Slowly she reveals a small object of food from her robe (where will not be mentioned) and holding it up with her fingertips, Wuya allows the boy to gaze upon it. "…but I know your hungry. So very hungry. Ahahahaha…"
The eyes are saucers and the mouth of the boy a waterfall. He looks with need as his stomach screams for food. He whimpers as he opens his dry mouth to speak and nothing comes out but a weak breath.
"Chase has forgotten about you, eh? Well, Jackie…Good Jackie, I haven't forgotten about you." Wuya opens the cup and holds the contents up to him. "You can have it." She whispers to him. Good Jack opens his mouth again, this time to reach for the cup to no avail. "It's yours, along anything else you want…anything you want." Wuya tempts. "And all I want in return is a favor from you."
Good Jack moves only his large red eyes, tears pushing the brims of them as he looks up at her. Now his mouth merely hangs in the air.
"I need my powers back, so I can stop Chase. Help me and I'll let you out of here…what do you say?" She flutters her lashes rapidly.
"You would…take over the world then."
"Jackie…Jackie, Jackie!" She cries. "Don't you trust me?" She dips her finger in the sweet treat and holds it up to him.
"You would harm my friends."
"I'd never dream of it." Wuya assures falsely.
The chocolate smell drifts into his nostrils. "You…eh, it's not right. I won't help you, I'm sorry…"
"Oh, but dear sweet Jack…" Wuya coos as she waves the morsel before his eyes. She flutters her lashes once more before holding it up to him with a smile. "Perhaps something to eat."
Hesitantly the youth looks at the food. He's hungry, but moralistic all the same. She presses the sweet chocolate-swirled-with-vanilla substance against his pale lips. His stomach wins the battle as he tries to get every bit of the pudding from her. As the last of it is gone, he is left with her finger…and a deep blush as he jerks his head away.
"Hm. So unlike Jack. Your not so good of a little boy deep down are you?"
"W-What?" He stammers. "Wuya whatever do you mean?"
"I can see it, you have so much more potential than Jack." Wuya chuckles. "...and seeing what he has become…leaves your possibilities to the imagination."
"I have no need for ill done deeds. Helping my dearest friends with whatever I can, suffices my ever hearts desire."
"Like a preacher. Look, you're friends are gone."
"Gone?" The boy whispers.
"Jack felt he no longer had a need for friends…you know like he felt he no longer had a need for you."
"That's not true…Jackie loves me!" Wuya rolls her eyes. "Wuya…please you must let me speak with me! If what you're saying is true…he cannot handle this kind of mental torture! He needs me!"
"I know he does. He looses more of his mind every day." Wuya comments as she scoops some more pudding with her finger. "But you aren't allowed to go anywhere, as Chase's orders command." She presses the pudding to his lips and he shamefully accepts.
"Does it taste any different?"
Good Jack pauses, most of the finger missing in his pale lips as he begins to blush, pull back and suckle with restored shame in his eyes at the tip. Wuya uses her other hand to cup his thinning face.
"You may be pure good…but you're still, just a human man."
Good Jack closes his eyes for a moment, trying to imagine green pastures and baskets with adorable little puppies. He thinks of his friends and making Master Fung tea, going to the movies with Dojo…
No. She is still there when his eyes open, leering at him like a panther…a musician just fine tuning her instrument. He had liked her so much when they were a team, back before she left him for Chase. Good Jack recalls a fuzzy memory of him building a robot to fill his void when she was no longer there to keep his lair from complete silence. He couldn't say it was a type of love…nothing like that, no nothing like that. More of a dependence really, he needed her in his life in some way or another.
"A man who has the world on a string." He whispers through her constant chuckling.
"You can't last like this down here, Jackie. I'm surprised your still alive to be honest. You need a side you know, mine has an open spot." She smiles a toothy grin, her fangs all in view as she pokes him on the nose. "We could rule the world together."
"Go away." Defeat fills his voice. "I won't join you…and I don't want to rule the word, I want to make it a better place not a worse one." Tears flow down his face as he pulls away from her. "Pry and seduce all you want, but I will never go against my solemn oath of goodness. Please, Wuya…if you don't have something nice to say…" His sudden burst takes it's toll as his eyes drift shut from sheer exhaustion.
Wuya angrily bites her lower lip as she views his form dangling from the chains. He would never join her…as long as he remains as he is.
"You wait and see. I've used you before…I'll do it again, Spicer. Chase has your evil, but I have something better." She turns and heads for the exit, not even bothering to close the cell door.
As she exits and fixes the lock, Wuya notices Kimiko heading down the hall. The girl is of no importance to her so she continues on her way. Safe to say, Wuya is of little of what Kimiko is thinking of. Her mind is filled with Jack, his image, abilities, thoughts, desires…everything. Her mind continues to wander as she stops for a moment to hear Wuya suddenly change direction and disappear out of her hearing range.
As Kimiko enters Jack's lair she sees him in his chair cuddling his precious Monkey Staff with the tip of the simian tail dangling over his shoulder. Tiptoeing she approaches with all her attention focused on the back of his head. She sees nothing else in the room but him and only him.
He had not even heard the door open…no not at all. As Jack cuddles the Monkey Staff he doesn't even sense her behind him…until her soft fingers brush against his shoulders. He jumps off the chair, her hands keeping him from reaching more than a few inches. He falls with a THUD onto the chair: the staff is dropped from his iron grasp and he slowly returns to normal as Kimiko's arms wraps around his neck.
She gently kisses his cheek…her arms tighten with a small squeeze as she hears him whimper. Jack feels her body weight leaning more and more against the chair as she whispers into his ear, words not completely understood but bring heat to the face nonetheless.
"Kimiko…" Jack pushes to lift himself from the chair. "What did you say?" He is pulled back down into the chair. "Kimiko!" Jack lunges his bodily force forwards to free himself from her grasp. He falls heavily on the floor.
Scrambling to his feet, Jack turns back to Kimiko. She tilts her head slightly…her lips pouting as she slowly approaches him with her hands folded. Jack remains a little startled and moves away from her.
"What are you doing?" He demands, his voice cracking as it used to.
Kimiko slides her arms around his waist. "Jack…Jack won't you kiss me, hold me…" She leans in and whispers into his ear. "…"
"Kimiko!?" Jack shrieks, his face blue and stricken. "What's the matte-"
Her lips silence his words.
Kimiko grabs Jack shoulders and tries to keep his squirming down as she kisses him. She pulls away a little out of breath. "Don't you love me?"
Jack nods, a little shaken.
"Then what's the matter? Love is…" She whispers into his ear, lust dripping like molasses from her black painted lips. Her hands tug at his black jacket as she continues to go against his movements.
"Kimiko…stop!" Jack demands harshly, trying to push her away. "What has gotten into you?"
"I just want to be with you." She breaths, holding onto him with all her might.
" Look you've got to go back to the temple!"
"Why?" Kimiko cries, clinging to him tighter.
"Because I don't want you to get hurt! Please Kimiko, believe me you'll understand once Raimundo-"
"I don't want Raimundo!" Kimiko yells throwing Jack around and back in his chair. "Why the hell won't you love me!?" She screams, her hands digging in her hair.
"Kimiko I do…"
"No!" She yells stomping over to him. She grabs his jacket and somehow flings it off of him.
Jack spins in his chair for a moment until Kimiko stops the motion by placing both of her hands on the arm rests of the chair. Jack sits dizzy and confused in a shredded gray shirt. She takes the opportunity and grabs his lips in a lock. Jack tries to push her off but she holds his arms down as she climbs on top of him.
"Kimiko!" Jack yelps as he manages to pull his lips away. "What the hell are you trying to do?"
Kimiko freezes as jack's voice holds anger she never thought would be directed towards her. "Jack. Jack…I want to stay with you." She coos. "I want to make you happy…I want to…"
Her look…something wrong and unlike her. Jack forces himself to push her off even as she cries. He stands a little shakily on his own now as he feels the old sensation of primal control beginning to flow through his veins. As his brain is visited by a burning sensation he knew not too long ago, Jack shuts his eyes and grinds his teeth. His back arches as his arms tighten and curl, his fingers spread and strained as the nails slowly grow. Kimiko looks up from the floor, her palms flat on the hard surface, her legs curls behind her and her raven hair flowing in wild strands down her face.
"Poor Jackie." Kimiko whispers slowly rising and approaching Jack with caution. "You're hurting…aren't you?" softly her hands and arms caress his tense body into a soft embrace. He turns to putty in her arms as she begins to whisper again. He shutters.
"What's happening to me…" Jack whispers, his vocals in pain.
Kimiko lightly moves a piece of hair from his pale face. She smiles warmly as she leans in and kisses him. Jack feels the pressure and adds to it almost automatically. He moves his arms to wrap around her despite what his conscious thought is telling him. As her hands rest on his bare and pale chest, he lets out a low primitive growl beneath his breath as his tail slowly raps itself around Kimiko's waist.
"You tell me…I'm dying to know who to thank."
Jack leans to dig his face deep in her shoulder to cover his shame. He grits his teeth and does not even notice the prick his fangs make on his lower lip as he softly whimpers. "Don't…don't let me do this, Kimiko." He feels her hands running through his hair. "Please." She softly runs a hand over his tail…
Jack's eyes open empty of their previous human appearance. The red that was once dominant has reseeded to the edges as yellow fills his fear stricken eyes. His mouth hangs slightly open making his fangs completely visible as he feels himself dropping. He falls down into a new part of himself, the scary side of his personality that knows everything…the side that Chase forced out with that cursed potion.
"Don't make me, Kimiko…" He pleads as he looks up into her beautiful face, contrasted by the growing flames that only Jack's mind sees filling the room. Atop him she sits, her fingers yanking at this and pulling at that…ignoring Jack's tears and forgetting his cries.
And though Jack doesn't move, he thinks. His mind races to a dream he had a long time ago when she had been so innocent and sweet. He remembers the angel she had been…before she was engulfed by the Heylin fire, the wrath of Chase and desire of Jack. Tomorrow he would be lucky to forget this night…he would be lucky to remain sane.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile in a war beaten temple there is a monk; a teen with brown hair, emerald eyes and a very strong Brazilian accent gathering together a few loose ends. Despite what he thinks…everything is not going according to plan.
"Kimiko…fer your sake, I hope Spicer hold up his end of the deal. I don't want you to get hurt and I don't want to lose any more friends. When this is all over we'll be together again…you, me…and I guess that creepy good half of Spicer's will hafta be here too cause he's gonna have nowhere else ta go! It'll all be fine…"
He whispers to himself as he climbs onto his new mattress (the four monks mats stacked on top of each other).
"I'll fix it all somehow, Kimiko. And I'll make Jack pay for his crimes. I already know…how I'll do it…" Raimundo yawns as he pulls the covers up over his nose. "I'll kill 'em…with these two hands of mine, on his pale throat."
But even as he says this…he feels the disturbance…and he knows that Kimiko will indeed have to be fought over if she is to be returned safely.
(Chapter Talk): Well…this chapter certainly was well written compared to my last few chapters. At least in my opinion anyway. I hope it thrilled and gave you all a good read. Remember to tell me how you guys liked it…or if I screwed up and bored you all. Next chapter will most likely be Good Jack related...hm, by the way are there any other fanfictions on this site WITH Good Jack in em besides mine?
