Chapter 48: Asmodan's release
Jason woke up in the infirmary, Toby was laying in the bed next to him.
"How do you feel?" Jarred asked, he moved closer to the bed.
"What happened?" Jason asked Jarred, rubbing his head.
"Don't you remember?"
"I remember Adrian bashing through the wall, I remember smacking against the wall and then nothing.." Jason whispered.
"Then Kara and I burst in and Adrian fled." Jarred said.
"You saved me again.. thank you.." Jason whispered. The nurse came to check on Jason, ten minutes later Jason was able to leave the infirmary. "I'll go with you, Kara can stay with Toby." Jarred said as they went to see the damage to the apartment.
Jason walked in and saw the damage. Destruction really was the word for this.
"Yikes.. it's worse then I remember.." Jason whispered.
"I can fix this for you.." Jarred started to mumble some words, and energy waves floated through the entire apartment, repairing everything. The broken wall fixed itself, the glass returned to the windows, everything was getting fixed.
"Thank you, again.." Jason whispered. Suddenly hate overflowed his hearth. "Now get out!" He yelled at Jarred, who didn't understand what was going on. "What?" he sighed.
"GET THE F*CK OUT!" Jason repeated. "LEAVE!" As Jarred left the apartment, Jason had these crazy thoughts. He felt like stabbing Jarred, or blasting him into pieces.
"Don't think that!" He said to himself as he realised his thoughts were bad.
The next day Toby left the infirmary, and life returned to it's somewhat normal rate. Everything was the same, except one minor detail. Liz and Jason took all classes, Toby taught his classes, but Jason had a lot of bad thoughts. Then one evening when Jarred came over, Jason, Jarred, Toby, Liz and Kara were watching some television. Jason was eating some chips, while laying in Toby's arms. Everything was okay, at least until Toby took one of Jason's chips.
"HEY! Get your own! Those are mine! I swear if you steal one chip, one more time I will f*cking stab the sh*t out of you!" Jason yelled in frustration.
Toby wasn't sure about what just happened. Everyone just sat there and stared at Jason, who got even more irritated by the staring. "MY GOD! Don't you people have anything better to do, then to stare at me all day!? GET A LIFE!" Jason got up, and threw the chips on the floor. "You want some chips? Here have them!" He stormed to his bedroom door. He opened it and walked in, then he turned around and as he grabbed his door knob he yelled.
"Why do I even keep up with the likes of you?! Your such losers!" Jason slammed the door shut. He walked towards his bed, as a headache struck him. His eyes burning with shadows, it felt like something was stabbing in his hearth. It hurt so much. Jason screamed out in pain, as he collapsed onto the floor. A shadow aura engulfed him.
Toby, Jarred, Kara and Liz smashed open the door, and ran in to find the collapsed Jason.
"What the.." Jarred said as he spotted the shadowy aura.
"What's that?" Toby asked. "What's going on with Jason?"
"I think that Adrian did the same thing to Jason, that he did to me.." Jarred whispered in panic.
"Jarred.." Toby was panicking. "What did Adrian do to him?"
"It's the shadow virus, it's a spell that infuses your hearth with darkness.. it then slowly corrupts you, so that you become evil.. Judging by the fact that the aura is visible, they used a lot of power.." Jarred whispered. "It's a stronger variation then the one they used on me.."
"Please tell me that we can fix this.." Liz yelled out, as she tried to calm Toby.
"We can't.. Only Jason can.. We can aid him though!" Jarred said.
"What do we do?" Toby asked.
"You can't do anything.." Kara said.
"But we do.." Jarred continued. "the magic that's released when you achieve a new power, has a healing effect… long story short, we get the last two gems, and Jason's darkness can be breached a little, allowing him to break free from the curse.." Jarred whispered, looking at Jason in concern.
"Ugh!" Jason sighed, he opened his eye and got up on his feet. "Your all so annoying! I'm out of here!" with that Jason melted away into nothingness.
"Jason, wait!" Toby yelled, but it was too late, Jason had left.
Jason found himself in front of a weird looking statue, in the middle of a dark forest.
"Hello Jason.." Adrian said, as he appeared from behind a tree.
"Adrian.." Jason smiled. "I was looking for you.."
"I know you have.." Adrian smiled.
"Why am I here?" Jason asked in curiosity.
"This is the place that can set you free.. free from those irritating fools, free from rules…"
"How?" Jason whispered. He liked to sound of what Adrian was saying. "What do I do?"
"All that you have to do, is rest your hands on the statue en invoke the spark of the goddess, the rest shall take care of itself.." Adrian whispered.
Jason turned towards the statue, and did what Adrian told him to do. He rested his hands on the statue, closed his eyes, and invoked his divine magic. He felt it surge through him, into the statue.
"MUHAHAHAHAHAHA!" a vile laugh sounded from within the statue as shadows arose from it.
Jason started to laugh as well.
The shadows took form as a cloaked man. "Finally.. I'm free.." The man whispered.
Jason and Adrian kneeled before the man.
"Master Asmodan, welcome back .." Adrian whispered.
"Welcome Master.." Jason whispered after Adrian.
Jason looked up at Asmodan. "Darkness has taken you and the spark, you will use it under my command! And we shall rule everything.." Asmodan whispered.
"Yes, Master!" Jason replied, his eyes filled with darkness.
