"Are you okay Jack?" Ambrosia asked. He stood up and put his arm around her.
"Oh I'm better than good sweetie. I'm on top of the world."
"Really? You were just lying on the ground unconscious. I called Star so she'll be here in a second."
"Well then this is the perfect chance to do this."
"Do what?" Jack twirled Ambrosia around and kissed her just in time for Star to see.
"JACK!" she screamed. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?"
"I'm kissing the only girl I'll ever love princess."
"You said I was the only girl you'd ever love." Star said. She was beginning to tear up.
"Well you were wrong." Star was too upset to realise Jacks eyes were now violet. She ran down the stairs and out of her room crying.
"What the hell Jack? I said that I love Marco, not you!" Ambrosia said. She tried to get out of his arms but he held her in a firm grip. Mrs Diaz burst into the room and saw Jack and Ambrosia up on the top level of Stars room.
"What did you do to Star this time Jack!?" she said Ambrosia could see the anger in her eyes and tried to wriggle free of Jacks grasp but it was too strong. "Let her go this instant!"
"Why?"
"Because she wants you to let go and you can't hold her there against her will." Jack rolled his eyes and let go of Ambrosia. She rubbed her arms where Jack had been holding her and he jumped off the level and landed right in front of Mrs Diaz.
"You don't speak to me like that woman. Especially if you want to live."
"Was that a threat?"
"Yes it was. Now back up."
"No. You can't speak to me like that." Jack shoved Mrs Diaz backwards into the wall.
"I'll speak to you however I want. I'm the most powerful man in the universe and you're just some petty woman living on an insignificant little speck."
"Hey! No-one talks to my mum like that!" said Marco from the doorway. Ambrosia ran down and hid behind him. "What's gotten into you? Why did you hurt Star?" Jack turned and looked right at Marco.
"I'll do what I want and the first thing I'll do is take that girl behind you and she'll be my bride."
"No you won't."
"What are you going to do to stop me? Huh safe kid?" Jack teased. "Give me a lecture on rules or something?"
"No. I'll kick your ass."
"Language!" said Mrs Diaz. Marco noticed something off about Jacks face and looked harder at it then he realised what it was.
"Mum. Step away from him."
"Why? I never back down from bullies."
"That's not Jack. I know he may look like him and talk like him but it's not him. His eyes are purple."
"Violet actually." Said Jack. "But you were close and no-one but you has noticed yet. Very observant Diaz."
"Who are you and what do you want?"
"We've met before Marco. You already had a brush with death."
"Audamar?"
"Yes. Now what I want is Star out of Jacks life and Ambrosia here in it."
"Well you'll have to go through me first. One on one combat. No weapons or magic and especially no tricks. Just your fists and feet."
"You'd really take on the greatest warrior that ever lived for these three girls? You fight a losing battle."
"I'd do anything for my friends and family."
"You are flawed like Jack and that will be your down fall." Jack closed the distance between him and Marco in one step and threw him through the wall and outside. "I win." Mrs Diaz choked up and turned to Jack.
"You killed my son!"
"And? What are you going to do about?"
"You haven't won yet Audamar." Said Marco. Jack walked up to the new hole in the wall and saw Marco standing in the backyard in one piece. "I get the feeling Jack knew this would happen so he must have put an enchantment on me to stop make me stronger."
"He is smart." Jack jumped out of the window and took up his battle stance. He and Marco watched each other before attacking. Jack threw attack after attack at Marco but he was blocking and dodging really well.
"So much for the greatest warrior in the universe. You're getting beaten by a boy from Earth."
"If Jack wasn't fighting me then you'd already be dead, magic or no." Marco landed a punch onto Jacks jaw. He took the chance to launch an assault on Jack as he stumbled back. He was landing hits left and right until Jack landed one of his own. Marco stumbled backwards and he heard someone yell his name out but he couldn't make out who it was. Jack strode over to him and threw him into the sky.
After Star had seen Jack kiss Ambrosia and reject her she had run away from the Diaz house. She had gone all the way to the nearby park to cry. She had only been there for a few minutes when she heard a large noise coming from the direction of the Diaz house. She saw a figure go flying then smash into the park, leaving a crater. Star ran over to see who it was.
"Are you okay?" she asked.
"I've been better." Replied Marco.
"Wait, Marco? What's happening? How are you still in one piece?"
"I'll explain later! Just get out of here!"
"Why?" Another figure landed a few meters away.
"Running off to Star are we Marco? Can't handle the big leagues?"
"I'll take you on any day." The dust cleared and Star saw Jack standing there.
"JACK! STOP HURTING EVERYONE!" She screamed at him. Jack picked her up and threw her to the side then he punched Marco. Star tried to blast him with her wand but Jack deflected her attack. She ran up and tried to punch him but he grabbed her wrist and picked her off the ground.
"Don't you ever touch me." He said. Stars blood ran cold when she heard the tone of his voice.
"DON'T EVER TOUCH HER!" Marco yelled at Jack. He landed a solid punch to Jacks jaw causing him to drop Star and fall to the ground. Marco picked up Stars wand and it changed into a gold sword which he held to Jacks chest.
"Have you really got the guts to kill me Marco? Really?" Jack said with a smug look on his face.
"Remember that this is a wand still. I can do other things with it." Jacks expression changed as white light surrounded the two. Star backed up and turned away at the intense light. When it was gone Marco and Jack were still where they were before. The only difference was Jacks eyes were green. He tried to stand up but stumbled to his hands and knees. Star saw red and stormed over to him then punched him on the side of the head.
"WHAT WERE YOU THINKING JACK!?" she screamed. He flinched at the volume of her voice then looked around. It dawned on him what had happened and he began to back away. "THAT'S RIGHT! BE SCARED!"
"Star." Said Marco. "That wasn't Jack, Audamar possessed his body."
"HOW DO YOU KNOW!? I BET HE TOLD YOU THAT SO HE COULD GET AWAY WITH THIS!"
"Star. His eyes were violet instead of green and he wasn't fighting as well as he could because he was fighting for control of his own mind." Star turned to Jack with a softer expression than before.
"Is that true Jack?" He wasn't listening though. While Star and Marco had been talking he had backed up a few meters. He was looking all around him in horror.
"Nonononononono. How could I let this happen? How could I be so dumb?" he said to himself.
"Jack." Star said as she took a step towards him.
"NO! Stay Back! I could hurt you again."
"But it wasn't..." She was cut off as Jack opened a portal and ran through. "Your fault..." she finished.
