Hi everyone. It's that time again. For another exciting chapter of J&TS 4! The end is nigh for this story, and this will most likely be the final installment of the Jake & Tori Stories series. I know that might be sad for you faithful readers, but I just don't see myself doing another one of these. Besides, I have more stories to work on.
As for this chapter, we'll see everyone battle their enemies. The most we'll get is Jake vs Deville, which will come with an unexpected twist... if you can call it that. Anyways, I hope you enjoy.
Edit: This chapter was taken down for slight editing. So for those who are wondering and read this chapter before it was removed, I apologize.

Chapter 37: Standing as One Part 2
This is it... the moment of truth... the day I will finally be rid of this thorn that's bee in my side for years. Prepare to meet your match, D.P.K.T.I...
Jake began to make his way towards Stephanie, but before he could make an attempt to fight, he was shot in the back with an aura beam. The former pirate fell on his knees, as he knew immediately that it was Kiara who struck him.
"Serves you right..." She growled.
Stephanie chuckled, "Good shot, Kiara... but you might want to focus on your real target."
The teen smirked as she turned back to Blake, who began backing away. Jake also took notice, "Blake, are you afraid of your niece now?" He teasingly asked. The former villain glared at him, "NO! But what can I do?! She's invincible now!"
"You can just stand there as I kill you!" Kiara snarled, charging up for another attack.
While that was going on, everyone else was engaged in their own little fights. Jade, Beck, Andre, and Trina were holding their own against big guards. Tori and Cat were protecting the innocent captives. Peter also had an advantage in fighting a few guards.
As for Izzy and Maia, even though it was two against one, Lizzy had a rather big advantage, having much better weapons at her disposal. The villain jumped up and gave the mother and daughter two kicks to the stomach, sending them to the ground.
"I see you too have been training..." Izzy said as she struggled to get up.
Lizzy smirked, "Well, I've had years to do it."
"So have I!"
Getting up, Izzy gave her double a great surprise, delivering punch after punch, which caught Lizzy off guard. Maia began to cheer for her mother, "Yeah! Go, Mom! Kick her a- butt! Knock her out!"
After a few more punches, Lizzy was able to kick Izzy off of her, and began to for Maia, "Let's see how you feel about me trying your daughter!"
But before Lizzy could do anything, Maia whipped out a bottle and sprayed it in her fist, causing her to scream in pain, "AAAAAAAAAHHHH! YOU LITTLE BITCH!" She screeched, "WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME?!"
"It's just some pepper spray. Something my Dad gave me. I never thought I needed.." Maia answered nonchalantly, "Well, until now anyways..."
Izzy smiled, "That's my girl."
With that, the mother and daughter continued their assault on the villain, while she was down and off guard.
Meanwhile with Renee' and Sophie, it was two against three, but the managed all they could. Britney was using a large nail file, Nancy had a metal ruler, and Savannah was wielding a sword.
Renee' had a sword of her own, and was busy battling it out with Savannah. As for Sophie, she was in a three way brawl with the other two, "So tell me, how and why did you fake your deaths all these years?" She asked.
Nancy took a deep breath, and chuckled, "Oh it was easy, my dear. Blake had ordered our deaths when we failed to defeat Jake. We were terrified honestly as we awaited our sentence..."
"But then Stephanie was behind scenes, and told us that she could help us." Britney answered, throwing a punch at Sophie, "She made bloody mannequins, and orchestrated that whole mass murder in Charlotte, North Carolina. All of it, realistic looking mannequins. They were so fooled."
Sophie snorted, "Nice! But if you think you won't get in trouble for that, you're dead wrong."
In a flash, she whipped out taser guns, shocking both girls to unconsciousness. As for Renee', she wiped off the blood from stabbing Savannah once, "Damn, this is a lot more bloody then I wanted." She admitted, "But I'm glad that's taken care of."
Or so she thought, until she felt Savannah grabbing her by the ankle, "You suck at this..." She panted, "That and you suck at your job and you life."
Renee' then glared, "Oh hell no. I know you did not just diss me!" Raising the sword high, Renee' plunged it into the woman's head, killing her instantly. Even Sophie was shocked, "Jesus, girl..."
"That's what happens when you don't respect my authority." Was all Renee said.
That all seemed to be going fine. As for Jake, he held his sword with a tight grip as he looked around at the chaos that was going around him. He was glad that everyone was fighting off the enemies quite fine, but he was looking for Tori, just to make sure that she was safe...
If anything happened to Tori... I'd never forgive myself...
As he looked around, he finally noticed Tori from up above, standing by a staircase along with Cat and other people. He waved and was about to join her up there, but he was suddenly shoved into the stairs, his head colliding with a step. Groaning, he turned to see that it was... Deville, smirking.
"Oh, did something have a little 'mistep'?" The evil man chuckled, amused with his own joke.
Jake groaned, "Deville... I thought Charlie shot you down."
"He did... but he and you other fools didn't know that I..." Deville opened his coat to reveal a bullet proof vest, "... have come quite prepared. So now I have the advantage to take you down!"
"We'll see about that!" Jake shot back, standing up and raising his sword, "Prepare to die, bastard!"
Tori looked on with worry, "Be careful, Jake!"
Just as the former pirate turned to give his friend reassurance, it gave Deville the chance to knock Jake off of his feet again, before stomping him the back of the neck. This resulted in Jake whipping around quickly (Although it hurt), and swiping his sword at Deville, but missing him.
"You want a piece of me...?" He asked as he got up shakenly, "You'll have to come and get me!"
After saying that, Jake ran out of the room, as Deville smirked, "Very well, I always enjoy a game of cat and mouse..." Was all he said before quickly following after his foe.
As for Tori, all she could do was watch them go... silently praying that Jake would win this, "I hope he'll be okay..."
"Maybe he will... but you won't be..."
Right in front of them by the steps was Kiara, with a crazed look in her eyes. Skylar began to reach out to her, "Kiara... baby, please, snap out of this... you're a good girl..."
But Kiara refused to listen to her mother, and only raised her hand to attack.
Back with Jake, he held his sword in front of Deville, "Finally, I'm about to get rid of the thorn that's been in my side for years..." He said to the villain, who chuckled.
"Honestly, I could say the same thing about you... only, it's going to happen..." Deville replied, retrieving an object from his belt. Something that Jake couldn't recognize. Suddenly, with a swift reflex, the man threw it at Jake, striking his arm.
Jake yelled out as he grabbed his arm, blood spilling from it. That's when he noticed that it was a very small knife. He easily pulled it out, even though it hurt, "Where do you get these things...?" He asked.
Deville smirked, "Let's just say that I have my sources..."
Despite the stinging pain, Jake refused to back down. He charged at the villain and threw a few punches, but Deville proved to be much stronger as he lifted the younger man up, before throwing him back to ground harshly. Before Jake had the chance to recover, Deville began stomping all over his body, leaving quite the bruising.
It was moments like these that Jake wished he worse better protection, but after a few more stomps, he managed to roll over and kick Deville to the ground. While he was down, Jake threw more punches to his head, before getting up and kicking him in the face, "It's what you deserve, asshole..." He snarled, "What gives you the right to try and destroy my family?"
The former teacher chuckled weakly as he got up slowly, "Oh come on, Jacob. It's not like I kidnapped your youngest child."
"That may be true, but you might as well have! You apparently already fucked up things for me before practically any of my children were born. You beat and fire my wife because she was pregnant, which I should mention, you could have killed my twins! And then you go as a teacher to put my son in the DAMN hospital. But no! That's not enough. Because even after I arrest your ass, you still come back, kidnap my son, along with close friends and other people! All because you wanted revenge on me!"
"It's amazing how it took you this long to discover my evil deeds... that bitch of yours was my favorite employee, you know..."
Jake growled, "Well, my wife never told me until she felt ready! You know why?! Because she was too damn afraid to say anything! And I suffered a lot of shit because of Sophie, who drugged me and took advantage of me, which made Izzy think I was cheating on her! She actually wished that our unborn twins had a different father..."
All Deville did was laugh, "It's funny how you mention Miss Sophie, considering that I helped her get close to you so that I could focus on Isabelle... she really had a thing for you... tell me, Jacob... how much were you out of it with that drugged drink? I sure hope the pill worked out well for you...
Slowly, it started to make sense to Jake. It was Deville who set him up. He had Sophie drugged him so she could have her way with Jake, just so he could target Izzy...
The more he thought about it, the more angry he got...
"You... you... YOU SON OF A BITCH!"
With a scream of blind rage, Jake charged at Deville, full on assaulting him, throwing punched and kicks all over the man. This is what Deville was expecting, but Jake sure was taking it up to eleven.
"I'M GOING TO FREAKING KILL YOU, DEVILLE!" The former pirate raged, his face turning red, "THIS IS WHERE I DRAW THE LINE, YOU SICK ASS! YOU WILL DIE IN HELL, YOU MOTHER-"
...
Before Jake could say anymore, he felt an agonizing pain in his side. It wasn't the stab of a knife, nor was it the punch from a fist... but a lash... from a whip.
Deville then kicked the younger man off of him and stood up, gripping a whip that was also attached to his belt, "I must say, that was quite the rage you unleashed on me... but now it's time for me to share with you... my beast!"
Raising the whip, he slammed it down on Jake's face, earning a scream of pain from the former pirate. Jake attempted to get up, but another lash to the shoulder sent him to the ground again. He then felt another lash on his back, his legs, his arms, and his chest. The oddly strong and rough rope of the whip tore through Jake's clothes, blood staining them.
"And another thing. How do your daughters feel about you doing this?" Jake, "How does Cara feel that you're forcing her to work for you?!"
Deville growled, "It's for her own good. Daddy's just trying to protect her..."
God, this guy is unbelievable... He thought, But he's too strong... I gotta get help, as much as I hate to say it...
Struggling, Jake got up slowly and tried his best to get away from the villain... but to near to no dismay...
"Ha! Look at you, you can't even stand on your own!" Deville laughed as Jake attempted to limp away with support from the wall. The former pirate couldn't fight anymore. He glared at his enemy.
"You will suffer the consequences for what you've done to my family!" He growled, pointing his sword at Deville.
The villain in response, kicked him in the side, causing him to fall to the floor. He then took out a knife, "Now then, I believe it's time to end this once and for all, Jacob... and once you're gone... I'm thinking Izzy may need a new lover..."
Jake coughed up blood, "Y-Y-You bastard..."
Deville then raised the knife, but before he could bring it down, something happened that neither him nor Jake had ever expected.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Suddenly, a figure appeared behind Deville, and knocked him to the floor, using a metal baseball, "Don't! You! Dare! Hurt! My! Dad! You! Jerk!" The figure shouted, hitting Deville over and over with the bat.
Dad?
Jake then realized who it was...
"Troy...?"
Yes it was indeed the college student and Jake's son beating the evil man down. It didn't seem like Troy noticed his father as he continued his assault, not wanting to stop until he was sure Deville was dead...
... All while Jake watched with complete shock.
After a few moments, Troy stopped, breathing heavily. The bat was stained with blood... Deville's blood. As for Deville himself, his head looked completely bashed in, like a strawberry pie.
He wasn't moving at all...
Blood was everywhere...
Jake glared at his body, "I see you finally paid your price, Deville. Rest in Hell..." Was all he said, before looking back at Troy, who dropped the bat and gasped, "Oh my god... holy shit! What did I just do...?"
"Son..." Jake called softly.
Troy looked at his dad, tears streaming down his face, "Dad... you... you're here..."
Before Jake could speak, the boy jumped onto him, hugging him tightly. Jake hugged back, "I'm just glad that you're okay, son... I had no idea what Deville did to you..."
Although Troy had some visible injuries, they weren't as severe as Jake's could've been. The eighteen year old just buried his face in his father's chest, sobbing softly in fear.
"I don't want to talk about it..."
"You don't have to, matey..."
"Dad... I killed him. I killed a human being..."
Jake shook his head, "He was no human being... he was a demon who was misguided... at least in my opinion he was. The important thing is, is that he won't bother our family ever again..."
All Troy could do was stare at the bloody body, still feeling strange about the whole thing...
"I guess you're right."
After that, they heard footsteps, as Blake came around the corner, "Hey, I heard a lot of commotion down here so I thought I-HOLY SHIT! HE LOOKS AWFUL!" The former Dark Pirate was completely shocked at the sight before him. Bruised and bloody Jake, slightly bruised and bloody Troy... and really bruised, bloody, and dead Deville...
For someone who looked gore and blood, Blake was rather disturbed.
"Damn, Jake. I know you wanted revenge on the guy, but I didn't think you'd do this much. And you say I'm violent..."
Jake rolled his eyes, "I didn't do it... Troy did..."
Said boy blushed, in which Blake chuckled, "Nice... I never knew you're kid had it in him..." He patted Troy on the shoulder, "Say, you wanna a summer job of working at the shooting range? I could sign you up-"
Jake held his hand up, "Don't encourage him..." He warned, "Please..."
"Whatever. Anyways, you had better get back to the main room. Skylar's duking it out with Kiara."
"Wait what?!"
"Yeah! Destiny powers have combined."
The three then heard a cough. It was Deville, who weakly lifted his beaten head. He was still alive, "K-K-Kiara had rage in h-h-h-her h-heart..." He choked, "B-B-But she was also injected with a bit of t-t-the same p-p-poison Stephanie had cr-created... but there was an antidote created..."
Jake glared and bent to face Deville, "And where is the antidote?" He demanded lowly.
"I-I-I have a syringe pull of it on my back..."
Jake smirked, "Thanks..."
WHAM! WHAM! WHAM!
Troy had grabbed the bat and beaten in Deville's head some more, to make sure that he died this time. Jake ignored that, and reached towards the belt. Indeed, there was a needle with some sort of liquid inside, "Let's go cure a child!"
With that, Jake, taking Troy's hand, rushing down the hall to get back to the main room, Blake following after.
Back in the room...
"Kiara! Please, listen to me! Mommy loves you!"
"I HATE YOU, BITCH!"
Kiara shot another beam at her mother, who blocked it with a golden shield. There was no way Skylar was going to hit or blast her own daughter. Even if Kiara was acting so cold now, that was still her baby.
"Kiara, please... I know I may not have been the best mother in the world... but you have to know that I love you... I trust you... I don't want you to do something that you'll regret..." Skylar tried saying.
But the fifteen year old glared harder, "It's awfully too late for that, mother..."
With that, she shot another beam at Skylar, this time passing through the shield and hitting her. Kiara then jumped on her and pinned her down, drawing a knife from her pockets. It was the knife used in a murder years ago... and used to stab another girl.
Skylar looked at her daughter, "Kiara... please, don't..."
But all Kiara did was smirk, "Time for you to pay, mother..."
But before she could even raise the knife...
"SKYLAR! Catch!"
Jake, Troy, and Blake made it in the room, where Jake threw the syringe at Skylar who, even in her current predication, caught it, "It's the antidote to cure the poison!" Blake told her, "Kiara has been affected by the poison that affected Blair and Kiara!"
Skylar started to understand what she needed to do...
Kiara was prepared to stab her mother, when her mother, using her Destiny powers, blocked her attack, and swiftly, but softly, pierced the girls arm. Kiara screamed, but was quieted down by Skylar's voice, "Shh... it's okay, mija'... you're okay... it's gonna be over soon..."
She began injecting the antidote into her room, as Kiara began to calm down... soon enough, she was asleep on her mother's chest.
Skylar smiled, "Good girl..."
Jake was finally relieved. Kiara would be cured... no more mysteriousness... and no more violence from the child.
Tori and Cat, who were watching the whole scene, were also relieved, "Oh thank god..." Tori said as she walked over to her daughter and granddaughter, "She's gonna be okay..."
"I sure hope so..." Cat added.
Soon, everyone started to join the sight, having won their battles. Izzy and Maia has Lizzy tied up as they noticed their son and brother respectively, "Troy... Troy, my baby!" Izzy gasped.
Troy smiled at his mother, "Hi, Mommy..." He greeted as he hugged her tightly.
"Oh, I'm so glad you're alright..." Maia joined the hug, "I thought I'd never see you again..."
"I could say the same for all of you..." Troy sighed.
Jake patted the boy on the head, "We're just glad to have you back, son... and if you're wondering where Kari is, don't worry. We sent her home to be safe, along with Blake's daughter."
Blake watched the family reunions in front of him with a slight smile, as his own wife joined him, "He's okay..." She said.
"I know, babe..." Blake said as he turned towards Ally, who looked a little banged up, but as long as the baby was okay, and she was fine, it was all that mattered to him, "I'm just glad that I don't have a moody teenager trying to kill me anymore."
"Yeah, and we took care of most of the guards. A few of them ran off like cowards..."
"Figures."
As for Sophie and Renee', they looked at their handy work, "I say, we really did a number of these guys..." Sophie commented, looking at the unconscious guards in front of them.
"Well, now they know what happens when people don't respect our authority..." Renee' added with a snort.
As everyone talked about their supposed victory, they were interrupted by the dry laugh of Lizzy, "You all think that you've won here?!" She asked, "You are all fools!"
Blake glared at her, "What are you talking about, Liz? We've beat all you bitches." He pointed out.
Jake nodded, "He's right. And now all we've gotta do is wait for the police..." He added.
Lizzy smirked, "You're all forgetting one thing... our mistress has escaped..."
Stephanie!
Of course!
How could they forget about her?!
"Damn it!" Jake groaned, "Where did she go?" He asked as he looked around to find her.
"Last I saw, she went down some hall..." Lizzy shrugged the best way she could while tied up, "But if you even dare try to challenge, I pity you, for you have no chance of defeating her..."
Jake glared, "We'll see about that..."
At this point, it was all or nothing. Stephanie had to be stopped... no matter what the outcome would be for everyone...
Wow... just wow... a lot happened. Jake and Deville fight, and Troy actually finishes him off. Kiara is cured of her psychotic nature, and Lizzy and the other enemies have been defeated. However, it's not over yet, for they have Stephanie to defeat. How that will go? Let's see a sneak peek of that:
Stephanie laughed like a mad woman as thunder boomed and lightening flashed. Blake stared right back at her, gripping his gun as the rain poured down on them.
"You're much more pathetic than I thought!" She cackled, "To think I even forgave you all those years ago..."
"Steph... you still have a chance to surrender and turn yourself in..." Blake told her, with a hint of pleading in his tone, "You don't have to repeat the same mistakes I made!"
The woman only smirked devilishly at her brother, "What are you waiting for, brother? Shoot me!"
"No! I can't! You're my sister!"
"That didn't stop you from doing it before!"
"That was an accident."
But Stephanie only laughed some more as she stood near the very edge of the building. One more step and she could fall off, "Go ahead! Shoot me! Pull the trigger, kill me! Isn't that what you want? To make me suffer for everything I've done..."
Blake stared at his gun, and slowly raised it, although against his will. Stephanie laughed again, "Yes! That's it! End it! End it all!"
"I... can't..."
"DO IT! SHOOT ME! FUCKING SHOOT ME!"
With a single tear sliding down his cheek, Blake pulled the trigger.
Even more chiz is about to happen next chapter. Join me soon for the final part of this epic battle against D.P.K.T.I. Until then, I'll see you guys later, and as always, don't forget to review, please! Thank you!
