Hey Guys, Welcome to Chapter 38 of Ten Minutes! Last Chapter… Well… If u haven't read it, I certainly hope you'll go back and do so. It would mean a lot to me and it would be very bad if you didn't considering how confused you'd probably be by reading this chapter. Like VERY confused.

Anyway, I'll give the usual recap for the chapter as expected. This chapter will be a doozy, and I really don't know how long it will be. My gut instinct says around 4,000 words give or take… so a little bit more than usual for the average chapter. However with that being said I could be wrong. I've been trying to limit chapters but as per usual been failing miserably hahaha. One chapter has been over 6,000, one nearly under 3,000, and a few in between, so really, I'm not sure where this one will end up.

If you're new or haven't done so already, Please Follow, Favorite, and Review the story! It means a lot and goes a long way, trust me!

Anyway, enough lollygagging, here we go… Oh… By the way, Sorry for doing this to ya. You'll see what I mean.

ReignZ Presents… 10 Minutes Chapter 38

Last Chapter…

He smiled a little as Mr. Goodshow laughed. Ash's voice became soft and serious. "No, the reason I'm here is to ask a very important question regarding the tournament."

Mr. Goodshow expected something about statistics or ruling but what Ash asked him made his eyes widen in surprise. "Is there any rule about being REQUIRED to participate with two people per side?" Charles Goodshow was running through the possible options of what may have happened in his head, and no matter what he thought, there was only one thing that all the outcomes had in common: They were not good outcomes at all.

Mr. Goodshow asked nervously. "Why are you asking this? What happened to John?" Ash bit his lip and looked around carefully before whispering sadly. "Rocket… killed him."

Ash was the first to speak.

"John… told me that how Auramancers are supposed to be sent on to the afterlife from this world is by the ocean. It's said that they float on water, and that Arceus claims their bodies to forever live in his heaven." Ash looked at his fallen friend and knew he was never going to be the same. "I think… its best to say what we think about him; proper words is the proper goodbye."

XXXXXXXXXX

"Mewtwo." The Pokémon appeared quietly out of his pokeball and stared at the fallen warrior. He felt a small pang at his heart for the man who had sacrificed himself to save others. Gary saw his Pokémon speculating the situation and Gary knew it was having the same thoughts as he was. As painful as it was, Gary knew there was no turning back. "…You know what to do…" Everyone stopped crying and looked at the Pokémon, knowing what it had to do, but almost pleading that it wouldn't have to come.

Mewtwo solemnly agreed to his masters order and used Psychic to gently levitate John's body onto the water slowly. Then, as if by magic, John's body was buoyant above the water, and Jasmine watched in tears as she saw her lovers body slowly floated out to sea, confirming Ash's information. As John's body slowly faded from view, there was a whimper from the group. It was not any human. It was not any of Ash's Pokémon, which had been released to see off their close friend. It was not Jolteon, who had laid by John's side in his final moments on land.

It was Delveon, the Pokémon who had been saved by John as a baby, and evolved into something Legendary, and far earlier than most Pokémon would've evolved in the first place. Delveon was whimpering as she saw he masters form fading further and further from view. She couldn't believe this was happening all over again. She had wanted to be his, he didn't take her, she tried to end it all, and he saved her, then, she evolved for him, and now, he was gone. She cursed the fates that took her beloved owner from her, and broke down crying.

XXXXXXXXXX

And then, Delveon's ears perked up. Ash took notice. "Hm? What's wrong?"

She whirled around and began circling the area carefully before Ash heard something. It was coming from the ocean. Delveon had confirmed it as well, but what was it? Ash was looking and all of the sudden, a voice he didn't recognize and a face he didn't immediately recognize appeared in his mind, whispering just two words to him.

The figure's face was the only thing in view for him. The figure's face was entirely glowing in a purple radiation of some kind, and his eyes and skin were completely gone. It appeared to be a black skull with a purple power emitting from it. The words made Ash's hairs stand up.

The skull whispered in a deathly, demonic voice. "…Rrrrraaaaaaaaaammmmmmpppppaaaaaagggggeeeeeeee…." Ash's eyes widened at the next word. "….Rrrrruuuuunnnn…"

The skull left his mind, but before he could regather his thoughts and contemplate what happened, he saw the water slowly begin to swirl in a circle. He took a step back carefully, then another step back. He watched as the water began swirling faster and faster, then formed into a whirlpool. Delveon was watching this scene with wide eyes. The duo watched as the whirlpool all of the sudden took the form of a twister in the water. They were mesmerized by the spectacle.

XXXXXXXXXX

He saw John's veins light up a navy blue starting with his arms and going down to his torso and legs, then all the way up his neck and into his head. John's eyes glowed dark blue as he roared.

Then, the twister seemed to stall in midair for a moment, all time stopped. Ash saw John's head was lowered slightly, and the dark blue in his veins had seized. Everyone watched as John's body continued to hover. Then, after about ten seconds, John jerked his head up and opened his eyes quickly as though he was trying to jumpscare them, eyes entirely a navy blue. Ash didn't have time to yell anything.

In a mere instant, John crashed into the sandy beach, dark aura flooding into the aerial attack and making the ground essentially launch anyone in a small radius from where he smashed into. Upon contact with the ground, John smashed the aqua twister into the ground as well, making a gigantic wave crash as a secondary attack. Ash, Delveon, and Keeghan were sent flying by the dark aura attack, and the secondary attack smothered the rest of the girls along with Gary, Daniel, and Mewtwo.

Ash slowly got up, holding his left side in pain. Delveon wasn't too far from him, and she got up slowly as well as she saw her master as a completely different person. Ash looked around and saw all the girls and the remaining two guys washed up a ways away from them. His eyes widened as he saw Elesa, Daniel, and Cynthia appeared to not be moving. He saw keeghan lying in the sand a short distance away, and saw he was out cold. Ash looked back at John, who was looking down at the damage. The sand where John had impacted was a dark blue, a symbol that the area had been hit by dark aura. Ash watched as John looked up, eyes still glowing dark blue, and then saw his veins bursting with navy blue energy. He watched the navy go all the way to the palms of his hands, where the flared up in a fiery showing. The roar that came from his chest was enough to break all the glass in Gary's home a short distance away.

Ash took in what his friend was and realized what had happened. John was not dead. John had become something that made death look merciful in the eyes of auramancers. John had become what was known… as a Dark Rider. They were the terrorizers of all Aura users and everyone in the word… and they had just one job.

To Kill everyone who stood in their path.

Present…

Gary's eyes were wide in terror; never in his entire life did he believe he was as scared as he was right then and there. John was grinning brightly, his white teeth still fully entact. Ash was looking at John carefully. John looked back. Then, he took a step forward, and Ash took one backwards. They slowly continued this until suddenly, John began screaming in pain. He clenched his head and cried in pain as the Dark Aura swept through body.

Gary asked Ash. "You got any idea what's going on?" Ash responded. "Good News! John isn't dead!" Gary yelled. "I'm sensing a gigantic "But" here!" Ash continued. "BUT the problem is it seems like he's been forced to join the Dark Riders!" Gary looked at him in confusion and bewilderment. "Who in the HELL are the Dark Riders?"

Ash replied. "Agents of the most evil Pokémon of all… one whose name we will not say at this time. John has only mentioned them to me, I wasn't even sure they truly existed! Considering what he did tell me, Dark riders are rivals with Auramancers and are beyond powerful. They're said to take form when the original Auramancer lets his guard down for far too long. Basically, if the Dark one sees an opening it takes the advantage. Because John's life was fading, it may have sapped the remaining life force from John's body and then used it to manifest itself to establish a mainframe in John's body!"

Gary responded, clearly agitated. "I have NO fucking idea what ANY of that means!" Ash continued. "There is legitimate good news though! John said that if an Auramancer is turned to the Dark one, it IS possible to bring them back! There's just one catch… The Auramancer must regain a clear conscious from the help of their most caring Pokémon!"

Gary looked at him. "Who's his most caring Pokémon? And to make matters worse, HOW are they supposed to help him?" Ash chuckled a little and scratched the back of his head awkwardly. Gary facepalmed. "You have no idea do you…" Ash didn't have time for him to say "I told you so" because all of the sudden, Gary was lifted in the air by Dark aura. Ash whirled around and saw John in his dark Aura state, eyes still glowing dark blue. Ash yelled.

"John! Snap out of it!" As a result, John waved his arm at Ash, and hurled Gary into him. The two went tumbling together until the final stopped a short distance from their fallen friend. John slowly walked towards them and turned his head so a satisfying cracking noise was heard as a result.

Gary had enough of it. It was time to directly attack. "Ash, the only Pokémon here that is owned by John at this exact moment is Delveon, who is currently knocked out. You need to go over there and wake her up." Ash suddenly blinked and looked back to where he thought he had seen the sun god Pokémon standing and was surprised to see her knocked down. Ash questioned his friend. "What are you gonna do?"

Gary stepped out in front of Ash and gripped a Pokéball tightly in his fist. "Buy you some time. Mewtwo, come out!" the Psychic type landed on the battlefield and when he saw who his opponent was, shock was laced all throughout his voice. "M-Master?" Gary cut him off. "Mewtwo… you must trust me… this is not the man you think he is… He is possessed by an evil spirit… and I need your help. Ash has a plan, but requires time to execute it. Can you please help me contain him?" Mewtwo nodded. "Yes Master, I am ready to assist." Gary looked back to where John was slowly walking towards them. Then, he broke out into a jog, then was sprinting towards them, Dark Aura flaring from his hands. Gary could only hope Delveon was John's most caring Pokémon and that Ash would find a way to get Delveon to help, or Mewtwo may have to kill John once and for all.

Gary couldn't believe what he was about to do. "Mewtwo, use thunderbolt!" Mewtwo nodded then fired off a yellow bolt of electricity towards the man running towards them. John waved his hands in a circle and a small portal appeared in front of him. The thunderbolt whizzed inside the portal, then magically rushed out and struck a surprised Mewtwo head on. "Gahhhh!" He cried in pain. He fell to his knee wincing in pain. "Th-that's what my attacks feel like? No wonder I always win…" Gary, not amused whatsoever, ordered. "Mewtwo, Aura Sphere!" Mewtwo formed a ball of light blue energy in its palm and then fired it at John. In midstride, John formed a ball of dark blue energy and hurled it at the incoming attack. Mewtwo and Gary were shocked when Mewtwo's attack got blown through instantly.

The attack, thankfully, hadn't been meant to hit the two, only to repel it. Ash was frantically shaking Delveon. "Delveon? Delveon!? Please wake up Delveon!" However, the sun god Pokémon did not stir. Ash whirled his head back and saw Mewtwo get thrown aside by John. Gary immediately went into LOS action mode, throwing punches left and right, but John was in no mood for games. The moment Gary made a mistake, He grabbed Gary by the throat and lifted him up, even though they were about the same height. Gary gasped for breath and clenched his neck, pleading for air. Ash immediately rushed John, seeing opportunity to attack John, but more importantly, save his friend.

The issue was John knew it was coming. In one fluid motion, he swung his hand and hurled Mewtwo into Ash using aura, who barreled backwards in pain. Ash got up and saw John laughing as Gary feebly struck John in his arms, almost all life gone from him. "JOHN! NO! DROP GARY! PLEASE!"

John looked menacingly at Ash then back at Gary. "John… Is Gone… Only the Dark One Exists now… and this man will be a sacrifice to him." John tighten his grip, and Gary slowly began to turn white. He stopped struggling and John looked straight into his eyes as he whispered. "Tell the Dark one I said hello." Gary was about to suffocate. Ash screamed. "JOHNNNNNN!"

It happened in a small instant. A blast whizzed past Ash's ear and struck John head on, sending him flying through the air and landing in a heap on the beach. Ash saw Delveon standing up. Gary was gasping for air and Mewtwo was by his side, checking his master's condition. Delveon had fired a Sun Beam towards her master to stop him from killing Gary. John slowly stood up, eyes still flaring a dark blue. He eyed the Pokémon carefully before Ash walked towards John and took a position about ten feet away from him.

"John… You need to listen to me… I know you're still in there! SNAP OUT OF IT!" Ash yelled. John looked at him, eyes never wavering once. Ash took one step forward and instantly regretted it. John punched the ground and dark Aura exploded under Ash, sending him flying through the air. He landed on his back maybe 20 feet away from his original spot. John began firing Aura spheres at Ash, who frantically began scooting backwards on the sand to avoid being hit. When John finally gave Ash and opening, Ash did a quick backflip and fired an Aura Sphere of his own and John smacked it aside like a bug.

Ash used a burst of Aura speed in this moment to appear right next to John, who hadn't foreseen the sudden movement. He sent a perfect right hook to the side of his cheek, and John was sent hurtling backwards. He got up slowly and felt the side of his cheek. Ash stood opposing him calmly. John cracked his neck a little then said. "If that's the game, then let's play." He used Aura speed as well and jumped up to prepare a punch, but Ash evaded it and then punched back when he landed, but John skillfully avoided the attack as well.

The next few moments were filled with punches and kicks along with grunts of frustration. The two appeared to be so evenly matched at fighting that they just couldn't seem to hit one another. Whatever Ash would do, John would do, and vice versa. Ash jumped and did a 360 kick to the side of John's head, at least, that was his plan. John sensed it, weaved right to avoid it, then sent a quick punch to the side of Ash's ribs, making him wince in pain.

Ash sent a volley of punches in and managed to connect with one or two of them. John stumbled backwards, slowly losing control. Ash was losing more and more stamina for every little bit of ground that he managed to gain. He knew he had gained enough ground for the given moment. However, as soon as Ash stopped his assault, John swept his legs, and Ash hit the ground hard. He saw John's fist coming straight at his face and rolled to the right to dodge it. He athletically hopped up, but then was met by John's fist connecting straight with his forehead, making Ash stumble back and lose concentration for a brief moment.

Unfortunately, that was all John needed. Ash regained concentration just in time to see John's fist connect with his Jaw on a right hook, making Ash stumble back and lose feeling in his mouth. He didn't have time to wince in pain, because John was striking him in every point of his body. First it was a volley of small punches in the ribs, then an elbow to the underside of his chin. John followed it up with multiple punches to both of Ash's knees, making him hunch over in pain.

John grabbed Ash's head, bashed him twice in the nose with his knee, then smothered him with an uppercut to the jaw. Ash, on instinct, got up as quickly as he could, but only had time to see John sprinting towards him, then throw his legs out in front of him to strike Ash perfectly in the chest, making him go flying backwards and fall flat on the sand. Ash could barely stay conscious; his body was in so much pain. He saw a figure hovering over him and recognized it as his once best friend.

John sighed and shook his head. "You thought you could stop me, Auramancer? How wrong you are. You pay the price for your insolence." John grabbed Ash's wrist in his own fist and began to crush it with his bare hands. Ash cried in surprise and tried to move his body, but couldn't summon the strength after the beating he had just taken. John grinned madly at his friend and then tapped into his dark aura, and a loud "CRACK!" was heard. Ash screamed in pain and knew immediately John had broken his wrist.

"Mewtwo, use Psystrike!" John turned his attention from Ash to Gary and Mewtwo, whom had rejoined the fight. Mewtwo fired off the Psychic pellets and attacked John. John held his hand out, fingers pointing towards the incoming pellets, then waved his hand around in a circle. Gary was stunned to see the Psychic attack coming whizzing back towards him. He ordered. "Quick! Counter it with Fire Blast!" Just as the pellets were about to strike, Mewtwo unleashed the powerful fire type move and created a gigantic explosion that could be seen for miles. Gary was coughing from all the smoke. Ash couldn't see anything either, he had been relatively nearby when the explosion went off, but thankfully hadn't been caught in the blast. It was relatively quiet for a few seconds before all of the sudden, "AAAAUGGGGGHHHH!"

Gary felt himself get launched flying backwards as the ground had launched him backwards through the air. He counted a good few seconds before he finally stopped sailing through the sky. He hit the ground hard, not even on the sand anymore. The hard impact made him wince and the impact with the ground was so quick that his head jerked backwards, knocking him unconscious. Mewtwo was sent backwards as well, and landed in the water. Ash wasn't far back enough to be safe from the explosion either. He felt himself fly up from the sand, do a full barrel roll, then land on his side extremely hard, crushing his broken wrist in the process, making him cry in pain.

Then, all was silent. Ash couldn't move for a few moments. Then, finally, he decided to try and get up. He sensed Gary and Mewtwo were unable to continue battling, so he knew what he was going to have to do. He slowly stood up and just as he was getting to his feet, he heard footsteps behind him.

Meanwhile…

Skyla and Jasmine were sitting next to one another, crying their eyes out. They had ran and ran until they couldn't run anymore, and found themselves on the opposite side of Gary's private island. They hadn't even noticed, nor did they care. They had just lost the one who made them who they were… all over again. Skyla hadn't been there for the first time, but knew of what happened from Jasmine, and prayed an instance like it never happened again. Fate had other plans. For her, it was pain so excruciating that it didn't even seem possible, it was as though a piece of her body had been ripped away.

Jasmine, on the other hand, knew this feeling all too well, and prayed it never reoccurred. Alas, her pleas were not answered, and her lover once more had been taken away from her by the cruel arms of fate. She wailed and mourned him, cursing Arceus from taking her lover from her once again. She could only pray for a miracle. As they were sobbing, they heard a small rustling in the bushes that was closest to them. They feared what it was before a yellow Pokémon walked out and looked at them. Jasmine sighed. It was only Jolteon.

"Jolttttee?" Jolteon questioned the two girls. Jasmine smiled weakly at the Eeveeolution and gently stroked Jolteon's fur, calming the electric type while making certain to avoid the spiny needles on his back. The three stayed calm, comforting one another while they all mourned the fall of the one they loved.

They stayed like that for a few moments, the gusts of wind drowning out noise from across the island. However, about fifteen minutes or so had past when all of the sudden, and explosion was heard. Even over the wind, the explosion was unmistakable. "Wha..What was that?" Skyla asked in surprise. Jolteon suddenly cried out. "JOLT!" The girls looked the electric type, who appeared frantic with anxiousness. "Jolt Jolte Jol!" He immediately ran back in the direction of the burial site. The girls realized they needed to follow him, for better or for worse.

The Beach…

Ash stumbled to his feet and whirled around and didn't have time to react as he was uppercutted straight to the chin, making him fly backwards and lie in the sand in a heap. He felt himself get grabbed by his cloak and get yanked up. His legs, still sore from the beating he had taken, barely managed to function. He saw John grinning at him before he began getting socked punched over and over in the face. Right hook, uppercut, left hook, elbow, and then some more.

John then pushed Ash backwards lightly to view his beaten friend. Ash spit out some blood from his mouth that had slowly been gathering. Ash had marks and bruises all over his face. He could barely see his opponent. John didn't have any visual markings whatsoever. As a matter of fact, he didn't appear to even have broken a sweat. John grinned maniacally at his friend and slowly stalked his way towards him. Ash slowly put his hands up to defend himself, only to have John flip over him, and as Ash whirled around to defend himself, John punched him once in the stomach.

This made Ash wheeze and collapse lightly. However, he didn't stay collapsed for long. John grabbed his friend up by his neck and hoisted him in the air, choking him. Ash gagged and struggled to break free. He struck John's wrist multiple times in rapid succession, desperate to break free and get oxygen. However, he lost all his strength and could only look at his friend who had trained him and slowly lose consciousness.

John smiled softly. "There's a saying that says the Student will become the master when they can finally defeat the master." He tightened his grip on Ash's neck before smirking and saying to him with eyes burning a dark blue and veins still a dark blue as well. "That is not the case on this day." Ash's vision was getting blurry, and then finally, he gasped and was just about to lose consciousness when all of the sudden…

"JOHN!" Ash heard a feminine voice scream. He faintly recognized the voice as Jasmine's, but he believed it was all over. His entire vision was about to go dark, and he would pass out if a miracle didn't come. But, the miracle he asked for did come. John suddenly dropped Ash at the sound of her voice. He stumbled backwards and then heard another voice. "JOOOHHHNNNN!" Ash had managed to regain his vision after several breaths and then saw Skyla calling his name too.

He looked to his friend who began screaming in pain. The dark blue veins in his body were flaring up, and his eyes were doing the same. He was clenching his head in pain, screaming and yelling. Ash saw this chance, and knew he had to execute the trap that he had been waiting to spring for what seemed like hours. "NOW DELVEON!"

Delveon hopped up from the ditch that she was hiding in, and then unleashed echoed voice. "DeeeeeeeeellllllllllllvvvvveeeeeeeeeeOOOOONNNN!" she cried. The attack made John scream louder, and began writhing on the ground in pain. Ash immediately hopped into action, and pinned his friend on the ground and put his hand on John's forehead to begin feeding him pure aura into his brain. He was still screaming in pain and agony, the dark aura attacking his mind. Ash roared over the echo "DELVEON! MORE POWER! LET IT ALL OUT!" Delveon roared even louder. "DELLLLLLLLLLL!" The girls watched as John was held down by Ash and force-fed pure aura while hearing Delveon's voice, unsure of what they were trying to do, and what was wrong with their lover.

John was still screaming and struggling, the dark aura trying to break free. Ash knew what he was going to have to do. "DELVEON! GIVE IT EVERYTHING YOU GOT! EVERYYYYYYTTTHIIINNNNGGGG!" Ash didn't know if it was even possible, but it did get louder. MUCH louder. John suddenly gasped and then his chest got hoisted in the air as though he was being levitated. Ash put both his hands on John's temples and roared. John was still screaming, Delveon was roaring, and Ash was yelling.

However, in the end, it all came down to one thing: how much Aura Ash was flowing into John's mind. He grabbed John's skull and screamed at him while looking straight into his eyes. "SNAP. OUT. OF. ITTTTTT!" And then… a miracle happened. Ash saw John's eyes burn as bright as could be, filled with dark aura nonetheless. John was screaming in pain. Ash gawked as he saw John's eyes begin to flicker a light blue… which could only mean one thing. However, Ash was beyond shocked when John's body seemingly exploded. He got sent hurtling backwards and landed in a heap on his back. When he looked up, he was shocked. Where John had once been stood a tall twister, infused in dark blue aura. He was stunned and now panicking, not thinking this was part of the plan. But then, he heard Jasmine cry. "LOOK!"

Ash saw the twister begin to shake. He also saw it flashing occasionally to Light blue then back to Dark blue. This continued for a total of about 30 more seconds, Ash, Jasmine, and Skyla all watching with wide eyes, Delveon and Jolteon as well. Nearby, Mewtwo was watching in stunned silence. Then, the occasional flashing became much more often. Ash knew what was happening: John was fighting for control. He watched as the color of the twister became flashing unbelievably fast, too fast to determine what was happening. But then, it stopped flashing completely.

For a few moments nothing happened. Then, in an instant, it glowed brightly… a shade of light blue. Then, the twister slowly began to shrink but still cross the land towards the three. The girls cautiously backed up, but Ash did not. Ash stood facing it head on, because he knew what had happened. Skyla watched as the twister continued to slowly move towards them and lose height. She saw it collapse and then watched as the remaining water slowly hit the sand. Ash watched it completely collapse and saw about ten feet away from him the person he had been fighting just moments before. Only, this wasn't the same person. Ash was shocked. As soon as the twister had collapsed, he had sensed something that he hadn't before.

Life Aura. And much more than there ever had been in his presence. Which could only mean one thing and one thing only. John had his eyes closed, but was still standing up, and head low. He slowly raised his head, and opened his eyes. Ash saw something he deeply prayed for and desperately pleaded for. He saw his friends eyes glowing blue.

But it was not a dark blue. It was a royal blue.

John sighed deeply and exhaled softly, and his eyes slowly lost all color, and then moved throughout his veins. He looked at Ash and everyone who was shocked, not daring to believe the impossible had once become possible. However, John's next words made everyone believe that it had, in fact, been another miracle.

"… You did it." Ash immediately hugged his friend, and John tightly hugged back. Jasmine cried. "JOHN!" She rushed him and then hugged him tightly as well. Skyla said no words, only attacked John's free side and grasped him tightly as well. Tears of happiness streamed down Skyla's cheeks and she grabbed John's face lightly and kissed him gently on the lips, which he happily returned. Jasmine did the same. Ash sobbed into John's cloak, and John cried a little himself. It was though a piece of their lives had been set right back into place as though it had never left for good, but only for a few moments.

John broke all their grasps only to get tackled by Jolteon and Delveon simultaneously. John laughed and got on one knee to show them both affection. Both had tears in their eyes as well. "Hey guys… sorry for leaving…" He stroked their fur. Jolteon pushed his fur up against his master, expecting him to pull away from the spiny needles, but John did no such thing. He embraced his Pokémon tightly, his starter still in tears.

Delveon grabbed her master with her feelers, and then John switched his attention to her. He held her tightly as she cried in his arms, whimpering softly. "Thank you…" He whispered to her. He looked up and smiled at everyone. "Thank you all… you saved my life." John… was not dead. He was still alive… and this time… for good.

AN: Told ya. Again… can't really kill off a MAJOR character at this point in time… only minor ones. John did not die; his body was captured by Dark Aura. Thanks to the help of the ones closest to him, he was able to return to the side of light. How you may ask? Well, you'll need to come back and keep reading the story to figure it out.

Please follow, favorite, and review! Every one counts!

Thanks guys! See ya soon!
