Fireworks and Blood.
Jubilee, a long-time member of the X-Men and serves as a teacher to Generation X, a group of teenage mutants living at the Xavier Institute.
Jubilation Lee is a Chinese-American girl who was born in Los Angeles, California, where she lived with her wealthy immigrant parents. An immensely talented gymnast, she was believed to have the potential to participate in the Olympic Games. However, Jubilation used her agility engaging in petty robberies with her best friend, making their escape on their roller blades. Most of her time was spent in malls. One day, Jubilee was trapped in a dead-end alley by a pair of mall cops. Fearing juvenile detention, and her parents' reaction, she panicked and her mutant powers activated for the first time, destroying the entire alley.
Jubilee told her parents about her strange new abilities, but it didn't seem to be a problem, as she soon learned how to control it to a limited degree. However, her parents were later murdered by criminals Reno and Molokai, hired by Hunter Brawn, who disguised the murder as a car accident. Jubilee was handed over to a couple in the neighborhood, but soon ran away to live at the closest thing that felt like home, the mall. There she survived by giving demonstrations of her mutant plasmoid powers for spare change, impressing many with her powers, and through petty theft. It was while living in this mall that she would first encounter the X-Men, and begin on her path as a superhero.
Ever since Joining the X-Men, Jubilee has been through her fair chare of experiences. She previously lost her mutant powers and then was turned into a vampire, adopting a baby boy named Shogo and working alongside the X-Men. But recently, she re-gained her pyrotechnic abilities and was turned back into a mutant when Quentin Quire sacrificed his Phoenix shard to save her life and revert her powers back.
With her mutant self restored, Jubilee continues her life as both a teacher and a hero. And while she makes many new friends, she makes many new enemies too. And tonight, she was about to make another one...
As she was out on a walk. Someone was watching her. His name was Jedah, The Dark Messiah with some traits borrowed from the Grim Reaper.
Though he is over 6000 years old, Jedah is the youngest out of the three High Nobles of Makai.
Jedah was always distressed about the future of Makai. He believed that if Makai was left under Belial's rule, the master of the Aensland family and the true ruler of Makai, then it would grow old and begin to decay. Belial would most likely say that such is destiny and life. Jedah considered Belial to be an abomination, and actively sought out the opportunity to kill him, waiting for the right time to strike.
After the death of Garunan, the master of the Bosital family and the oldest of the three high nobles, Jedah had a young confidant named Ozom. Simply put, he was a gourmet. The reason he came under Jedah was to be able to eat delicious souls. As a noble, his skills were second class, but his ability to deceive others were first class. He was a genius in using others. He advised Jedah about using the gate of Makai. Jedah, being confident in his ability to absorb souls, agreed to this. He ordered Ozom to break a part of the seal to open the gate more.
When Ozom arrived at the gates, he realized that enormous powers lay within the gates and that even Jedah would destroy himself if he absorbed all this power at once and saw this as his chance to take over the throne. He lies to Jedah and tells him that he must destroy all the seals because little power was coming out. After destroying the seals, he ran off to the far reaches of Makai. The destruction of Jedah meant his rise in power and his plot succeeded.
Ozom gathered the left over power and stored it in Dohma Castle. This is how Ozom became the new master of the Dohma family; the birth of Emperor Ozom.
100 years later, after a century-long sleep, Jedah was revived in Makai. He felt distressed towards the crazed Makai, nobles fighting each other and spilling blood. Instead of anger, he felt pity towards Ozom, who had betrayed him. Jedah had already made up his mind: all souls now had to be completely cleansed. For this, a new dimension was necessary: Majigen, the demon dimension.
Jedah arrived at Dohma Castle and saw Ozom and laid out his hand. Although his powers were not yet completely restored yet, he had enough powers to remove Ozom. Now that Ozom had been reduced to a spineless jellyfish, Jedah quietly whispers, "Ozom... I am sorry, but please lend me your powers. Your soul would become the foundation of Majigen and will help the future of Makai."
The Dohma Castle was taken into the dark space along with the now-soulless Ozom. This was the beginning of Ozom's salvation. Jedah believed that he was the one that needed to recreate life by fusing all souls into one life form, the Shintai, the fetus of divinity. To do this, he summoned all those with worthy souls to enter into his newly created realm.
Ultimately, his plans did not come to fruition and he was killed by Morrigan after Lilith returned to her body. Despite this, due to his ability to revive after a period of time, the threat of Jedah does not end with his death. And now he was back, and he had his eyes set on Jubilee. Why? Well two reasons, and you are about to find out.
Jubilee was humming to herself until she heard the voice "Jubilation Lee. I am pleased to finally meet you in person".
Jubilee jumped and looked up to see the demon looking down on her "Who are you!?".
"My name is Jedah. And I am here for you" Jedah said as he slowly hovered down in front of the young mutant.
"What do you want?" Jubilee demanded, she could tell this guy was bad news, and whatever he wanted, it was not pretty.
Jedah smiled calmly "Many look at you and think your powers are weak and useless. But you can not hide your true powers from me, young one. I know what you can really do and all the death you can cause with your seemingly harmless powers. Not to mention, you used to be an Vampire".
Jubilee took a step back "I am not a vampire anymore. And I don't use my power to hurt people unless I have to. And even then I do not kill them!".
Jedah shook his head "Typical heroic cliche. All of you have unimaginable power, but you refuse to unleash them. Held back by your pathetic morals".
"I am using my power to save people! Are you really saying that is somehow wrong?" Jubilee demanded.
"That is exactly what I'm saying" Jedah said as he began walking towards Jubilee who backed away with each step the demon took "So many mortals are still alive when they should have died long ago. Death is not something you should prevent, it needs to be embraced. Death is life's only salvation. That is no paradox... it is simply the logical conclusion. And because of you heroes, the mortal cattle cling to the treasure that they owe to us as a tribute".
"Cattle!? People are not just food for you to feast on!" Jubilee said in anger.
Jedah smirked "Wrong. Mortals exist for only one reason: To feed our ever growing hunger!".
"SHUT UP!" Jubilee shouted as she sent a blast at Jedah.
But Jedah's blood left his body and took the shape of a shield that blocked the attack "There is the spark. But I want to see a fire".
"Then you shall feel the heat!" Jubilee declared as she got ready to fight the demon.
Jedah smirked and did the same. The battle was on.
Jubilee fired of several blasts, but Jedah easily moved out of the way before his blood shot out of his hand like a spear. Jubilee hurried to dodge but it still scrapped her shoulder. She hissed but kept blasting the demon and managed to hit him in the chest, and sent him in to a wall. Jubilee was about to check if he was down only to gasp as another blood spear came towards her face. She was able to dodge, but it left a cut on her cheek. Jedah came back, ready to strike with his long claw like nails, but Jubilee quickly used her power to blind him before using a move that Wolverine taught her: She grabbed Jedah's arm and used his momentum against him, throwing him down in to the ground.
Jedah got back up with no signs of being hurt and brushed himself of. He looked at Jubilee with a smile before raising his hand and made a 'Bring it' motion. Jubilee was getting a little annoyed by his cocky attitude and attacked him with a barrage of punches and kicks, which Jedah casually blocked with only one arm, his smile never leaving his face. Jubilee was about to throw one more punch... but the back of Jedah's hand made contact with her face, sending her flying through the air and she ended up crashing in to a nearby tree. Pain shot through her back, but she's been through much worse. She pulled herself back to her feet and glared at the smirking demon.
"You are not going to beat me in a physical battle, young one. Now show me the power I know you posses!" Jedah all but demanded.
"You asked for it!" Jubilee said before putting more power in to her blasts.
Jedah avoided the blasts before creating two blade-like blood wings and struck at Jubilee who ducked under them and hit him point blank in the chest with a blast. The blast sent him back and Jubilee used the opening to hit him again and again. It looked like Jedah was finally starting to take some damage, but he still did not back down as he began laughing before using his insane speed to close the distance and hit Jubilee in the gut. She coughed up saliva before she was sent in to a wall.
"That is not all you got! Show me your real power!" Jedah demanded before back handing Jubilee when she tried to get back up, sending her back to the ground "Show me!" He stomped on her chest, making Jubilee cry out in pain as several of her ribs broke "SHOW ME!".
Jubilee let out a scream as she blasted a hole clean through Jedah's chest. Jedah backed of her, vomiting blood as he fell to his knees before collapsing on the ground... dead. Jubilee backed away from the corpse, not believing what she had just done. She had to get out of here... she needed to get back to the school... she needed her friends to help her... she needed...
Her thoughts were interrupted by loud laughter. She turned around in shock and horror "No...".
Jedah stood back up, the hole in his chest healing nicely "There is the fire. But it is still not even close to what you can really do" He then quickly used his blood to impale Jubilee through her arms, making her scream in pain as she was lifted up by her arms "But do no worry. Me and my friends will put them to good use".
Those where the last words Jubilee heard before everything went black.
Later, Jubilee found herself inside a tank, full of liquid that kept her asleep, and a breathing mask to keep her from drowning. In front of her stood Jedah and his Ally... who turned out to be non other than Albert Wesker.
"She will prove useful to us" Jedah commented.
"Indeed, many underestimate the power she posses. Gaining the information on her was not easy, but I discovered a lot about her" Wesker said while looking over her notepad "A point of interest about Jubilee's powers is that she can control the effect that they had on her desired targets. These power effects have been shown to blind and emit concussive force, burn and scald skin, detonate and disintegrate solid objects, and also shatter solid metal objects such as locks and bolts. But she also possesses the ability to detonate matter at a sub-atomic level, essentially making her a walking atomic bomb. She could be one of the most dangerous mutants on the planet, but her fear of harming others has kept her from using those powers to their full potential. If we can harness and even amplify those powers, we will be able to trigger controlled explosions wherever we want".
"Making her repay her dept that she owes, by killing the very people she sworn to protect" Jedah said with maniacal smile.
"Good..." Came another voice, making Wesker and Jedah turn to see Red Skull standing behind them "Very good indeed. She will be an worthy piece to our puzzle".
With that Red Skull turned around and walked out of the room. An small, evil smile gracing his lips.
