Jace was well aware of his Parabatai's brother-in-law is kind of mystery guy.
However, this was just too much!
"Fuck you! Why don't you stopping Jonathan from killing Lydia? And you even assisting him some more! You this bastard!" Jace shouted out loud and ran to Kazaf.
Alec jumped in to stop Jace, right before Jace punch into Kazaf's face. "Jace, stop it! Don't be rash!"
"Don't stop me, Alec! Don't you see it yourself? This bastard just standing there! And, he even let Jonathan killed Lydia right in front of us!" Jace pointed to the Lydia who lifeless body soaked in her own blood.
Alec hardly sent a glare at Lydia's bloody body. He's full of confuses and angst too, like the rest of the people. However, he still tried to believe that Kazaf should at least had proper reason to allow this to be happened. Or else, he really can't think of any possible clues that made Kazaf to do so, who clearly has the power to stop this tragic happen. EVEN this is because of him wanted to get Magnus's power back, but this was just too much!
Isabelle and Clary totally in a daze. Not even cried for the poor Lydia as they still stunned by what happened. Everything just happened too fast. Many of them still in confusion and not sure how to react.
Magnus looking at Lydia's dead body, kneeled down sadly and murmured at himself. "Why don't you stop him? This is so wrong… I never want to watch anyone get killed for nothing… No matter how desperately that I want to get my power back…" Magnus looked down at his own hands… The blue sparks showed and dancing between his fingertips.
Story back to about 30 minutes ago…
Shadowhunter New York Institute. Once Jace, Isabelle and Clary arrived at institute, they noticed that the situation is completely in chaos. Bad news is there's an intruder barged into institute. And, the good news is at least all of them knew who the intruder's identity. That guy killed a lot of people in the institute, and his motive is very clear, he wanted nothing but the mortal instruments which were now temporary kept in the institute. Besides that, the most important thing he is the son of the big villain Valentine too. His name is well known as Jonathan, who was now threaten to kill Lydia with the soul sword in his hand.
"Jonathan, you better release Lydia and return the soul sword to us right now!" Jace warned angrily by holding the seraph blade in his hand.
They were standing in a hidden dark place which fully covered by the Jonathan's shielding magical ward. That caused the rest of the other shadowhunters unable to reach there and find them.
"Just listen to me, Jonathan. Please don't do any stupid thing. Father already died, I hope you will able to free yourself from the rages and revenges as well." Clary looking at her nothing but like a stranger biological brother.
"Dream on! You will never able to get out from here." Isabelle looked at the hostage Lydia, feeling frustrated indeed. "Let go of Lydia now!"
However, Jonathan looked fearless and not really listen to the young shadowhunters. Before Jonathan able to do anything rashly, there were three familiar men appeared from nowhere all of the sudden between them.
"ALEC!?" Jace and Isabelle shouted in shocked and confusion.
"Watch out! Jonathan already get the soul sword and threaten want to kill Lydia!" Clary warned the guys.
"This is crazy!" Magnus widened his eyes.
"What the hell." Alec not really expected to see this kind of situation. He quickly pulled Magnus to a side, took out his weapon and ready for the fight. Then, his worried gaze met Lydia's.
"Well… What a surprise indeed." Kazaf sighed. "Long time no see, little Jo."
Jonathan also not expected to see Kazaf here. He gazing at Kazaf and replied in a soft nervous tone. "You are… Ka…Kazaf…"
"Yeah. You looked not so well." Kazaf commented. "Release the girl now. We need to talk."
Jonathan gasped but not released the Lydia yet.
"Magnus, it seems your brother knew Jonathan." Clary said.
Magnus nodded. "Yeah, it seems like that."
"Jonathan." Kazaf calling out his name softly.
Jonathan shook his head. "It's not my fault… Azazel brought me here! It was his idea to escape from Edom!"
"I'm not blaming you for leaving Edom. However, you should not doing the bad things here." After a sigh, Kazaf said calmly. "Magnus losing his power because of you, doesn't it?"
Jonathan looked alert, his moved backwards a few steps, trying to keep distance with Kazaf and the rest of people. "It's not my fault. Azazel made me do it!" He explained.
Then, Kazaf shook his head in disappointment. "Such a let down. Do you also want to say that it's Azazel who instructed you to kill innocent peoples?"
Noticed that Jonathan's widen eyes full of surprises, Kazaf then spoke again. "You done enough damages here. Stop do any further… It's time to back home, Jonathan."
After hearing what Kazaf had said, Jonathan suddenly became emotional and agitated. "NO! I WILL NEVER BACK TO EDOM AGAIN! PLEASE DON'T BRING ME BACK TO HELL… KAZAF, I'M BEGGING YOU! PLEASE DON'T DO IT!"
"Don't worry… I won't send you back to Edom." Kazaf's eyes showed sympathy. But his voice was calm and cold. "Maybe your life should just end here for good… It's not your choice to make, neither mine."
Jonathan was shocked like everyone else.
"You want to kill me..." Jonathan gasped.
"Yes." Kazaf said in an honest tone. "It's my mistake to save your life in the past. I'm sorry, Jo. Maybe… I should kill you to save you."
Jonathan laughed miserable. Then, he tighten his gripped on the soul sword and Lydia. "No! I won't die, NOT TODAY!"
The young shadowhunters stayed alert and ready to rescue Lydia at any time. They were surprised at the conversation between Kazaf and Jonathan. But they chose to ignore their curiousness and questions at this moment. Lydia and the soul sword were their priority, as Lydia is their friend and the soul sword is something that powerful enough to change this world.
"Jonathan, stop embarrassing yourself. You've done enough!" Kazaf frowned. "You should know that I'm capable to finish you easily. However, I am kind to let you make your own right choice. Maybe, in another world, after suffering what your mistakes… Then, you may still have another chance to get a better new life again. I will help you this time. Please… Let me amend my mistake to help you in a more proper way."
"You are regret to save my life that time, right? That's why you want to kill me now." Jonathan looked sad. Then, he stared at Kazaf and Magnus. "WHY? Why everyone want to kill me? Now even you, Kazaf… You are the one who gave me hope… You are my lifesaver… Doesn't it? Is this because you already get your own brother back? That's why you are no longer adore me… Why Magnus Bane always can get everyone's attention that easily? Even Asmodeus loves him so much, even you look after him and treat him that good. But what about me? Why everyone want to kill me? Why everyone hate me that much? WHY--!?"
"Jonathan…"
"Am I not deserve to be loved? I want to feel the love… To be protected… To be loved by someone… Anyone… But why? Am I not deserve any good thing? WHY?" Jonathan pushed the soul sword closer at Lydia neck rashly, which caused her bleed.
Lydia closed her eyes tightly. "No matter you kill me or not. You will never able to get out of this place anymore!"
"SHUT UP!" Jonathan widened his eyes, the creepy black veins appeared on his skin made him looked horror.
"Jonathan." Clary gasped. "Don't do anything stupid, please…"
Jonathan self-mock laughed at himself. "Clary… My dearest sister… You want to kill me too, right?"
Clary looked speechless and stayed silence.
"Stop it, Jo." Kazaf sighed. "I'm sorry to rush you, but I'm seriously don't want to see any more dramas. Now, please just release the girl and return Magnus's power to him. Or else… You should know what I will do the next."
Jonathan laughed miserably. "Or else what… No matter what I've done, no matter what choice I make, you're insist to kill me too, doesn't it?"
Kazaf not denied at all. He looked away from Jonathan.
Jonathan smirked evilly. His eyes suddenly turned to full black without whites. Everybody looked alert, they can feel the different magical dark source came from Jonathan.
Kazaf took a deep breath. "You always choose the hard way."
"That's my choice. That's my life as well." Jonathan showed an evil smile.
"Azazel already been banished and back to Edom. I sent him by myself." Kazaf's cold gaze fixed on Jonathan. "You will be the next. However, if you insist on your path, then I've got no choice but have to make you suffer on your own karma."
Jonathan laughed. "I know your secret deal with mother. Kazaf, if you kill me then you will be in troubles too."
Kazaf smirked. Magnus looked in shock and worried. He gazing at Kazaf with a confuse look. He tried so hard to suppress his own feeling. There's some hints in Jonathan's words but Magnus not really understand the true meaning behind it.
"If you kill me, then you will never able to get Magnus's power back too." Jonathan said.
"So confident?" Kazaf hissed. "Azazel did said the same thing. Then, I banished him right after that."
Jonathan grinned, once again tighten his gripped on his shadowhunter hostage, Lydia.
Kazaf sent a quick glare on Lydia, then looked back at Jonathan with teasing tone. "Want to kill her? Just be my guest and go ahead. I promise won't stopping you. And, I think you should know why."
Jonathan stunned obviously, not really think of Kazaf would say something like that.
"Or maybe, I can help on it too, to save our time." Once Kazaf said these, then he snapped his fingers which magically caused Jonathan's moving his hand and the soul sword cut right through Lydia's neck.
"NO!" All the young shadowhunters gasped and shouted in syncing voice shockingly.
This was crazy! This was totally insane.
"You..!" Jonathan looked totally in shock too, as he never thought that Kazaf will do something like this.
"Didn't I told ya. I want to save our time." Kazaf sighed deeply and ignored the poor Lydia who was bleeding to death. His gazes still fixed on Jonathan.
Jonathan's hand which holding the soul sword was shaking. "…You truly are mad."
"Yeah." Kazaf admitted directly. Then, with a sympathy look, he continued. "And now… You may go to die. Rest in peace, Jonathan."
"If you kill me, then you will be in deep troubles too!" Jonathan tried to retort and made the last effort to save his own life. However, Kazaf not really gave him any chance to speak again.
"You've said and done enough." Kazaf opened his palm and there's a shining sacred light showing in miracle. Then, the magical shining bright light cut through Jonathan directly without any mercy.
Kazaf frowned painfully at the same time, he gritted his teeth and lowered his head, not really want the others noticed his unusual facial expression. All the young shadowhunters and Magnus still not recovered from the death of the poor Lydia. And now, all of them also in shocked again to witness the death of Jonathan.
After a short while, everything seemed back to normal again. Just the poor Jonathan died and disappeared in dust. And, the Lydia lying on the floor and soaked in her own blood. Kazaf clenched his fists and half-kneeled down on the floor after he finished Jonathan's life. However, nobody walked to Kazaf or checked on him. Everybody has their own emotions to take care right now.
"My power…" Magnus's voice caught Alec's attention easily.
"You get your power back? But how?" Alec looked surprised but happy indeed. At least, this is the only good thing to feel relieve. Alec gasped and stared at Magnus with full of affection.
"I don't know." Magnus playing around his own magic. The blue sparks appeared in his hands and dancing between his fingertips.
"The potion which the Clave representative sent was switched by the Jonathan. He used the spell to seal your power on his life in somehow. However, the spell had been cursed and bond with the Nephilim's life. It must use the pure Nephilim blood as the cost to undo the spell." Kazaf explained in a hoarse voice. He still kneeling on the floor in same posture, from his back, his whole body looked shivered unstoppably.
Back to the present time. This is how the death of Lydia and Jonathan.
