"I saw you fall!" Aiden shouted, staring at Jesse in shock, beginning to stand up. "You went down!"

"You're alive! Is the Founder with you? I heard-" Reginald started, Aiden standing up and drawing his arm back.

"Yes Isa is fine now move-" Jesse shot a web, but the creeper egg Aiden had been holding hit him and knocked him over, the web soaring right over him and hitting the creeper, which was right next to Reginald-

It blasted the guard back, making him hit the floor full force as Evie clucked as it went over to him.

Jesse started forward, but then stopped as she heard a loud, furious yell. "Not one more step!"

Jesse turned to look at Aiden, who was standing up, rage dancing through his eyes. "I killed you once, I can do it again!"

Jesse snorted. "Yeah, you snuck up behind me. Real brave of you, Aiden. The truth is," and her eyes turned blood red, "I can easily take you down in a fair fight."

Aiden shook with rage, celery green eyes wide with fury. "Just DIE ALREADY!" he yelled, and thunder blasted the sky apart, lighting up the room sinisterly, as he hurled a gold egg that burst apart on impact. A Blaze rose out of it.

Jesse ducked under the Blaze's first fireball, blocking out Aiden's incredibly infuriating voice. And then another one.

And then Jesse leapt into the air, the Blaze turning too slowly, before lashing out with her sword, landing on the ground in a kneeling position. The Blaze keeled over and died on the spot (sorry, Petra).

A loud yell, and Jesse turned to see Aiden lunging towards her with his sword, raising it into the air, above his head. Jesse flicked the sword up into a block but was still knocked backwards by the impact. Jesse saw what Lukas meant- Aiden was much stronger than she'd remembered.

Aiden raised his sword above his head, Jesse lunging to the side, using her six arms to push herself back into a standing position, and holding out her sword defensively as Aiden turned to her. She'd never seen him so angry.

"This was supposed to be my world!" Aiden roared at her, "and you ruined it!"

Jesse shook her head, frowning at him. "Are you listening to yourself? That's insane!"

That was definitely the wrong thing to say. Aiden brought his sword down, and Jesse flicked it up, the two enchanted blades pressing together intensely as both owners refused to back down.

At least until Jesse gave an almighty shove, sending Aiden flying backwards into the base of the throne and his sword go clattering out of his hands.

Jesse slowly approached, until Aiden chucked another egg at her- she dodged. Another Blaze came out.

Jesse ducked under the fireball it sent at her, racing outside into the rain, where Aiden was standing on a narrow strip of land. The Blaze followed her, before sizzling, jerking- and then falling to it's death, exploding into dust and smoke.

Jesse tightened her grip on her sword, slowly, walking towards Aiden cautiously so that she was standing at the base of the narrow strip of land, crouching down a bit so that she was in a more defensive position, Aiden staring her down with a death glare, practically strangling the sword in his hand.

"You just can't stand to see someone else in the spotlight, can you?!" Aiden snarled, "You just can't let anyone else win! It just drives you crazy to see someone else succeed, doesn't it?!"

"Hark who's talking! You're the one who's jealous of me after a PTSD-inducing experience and tried to burn down my build at Endercon two months ago because you wanted us to lose!" Jesse pointed out. "And this is about winning or losing, it's about what's right!"

"And that," Aiden seethed, "is why you're gonna LOSE!"

Jesse just sighed a bit, as thunder exploded through the sky, a flash of light striking as it did.

Both of them readied their swords, eyes narrowing, before both charged at each other, towards the middle of the narrow strip of land. Jesse flicked her sword up to block his downwards hit, before out to block another, dodging back to avoid the clash of metal of his sword, and blocking another hit, shoving back a bit to force him to dance back a couple of steps.

Jesse slashed downwards, making Aiden step back, then flicked up, and then she swept out, knocking Aiden onto his back. He climbed back onto his feet, rage dancing in his face, before he struck upwards.

Jesse blocked again, but this time she started twisting the sword, moving it downwards, then upwards in an arc, and flicking out with all of her strength as she twisted the sword from his grip, the sword soaring in an arc through the air, skittering across the edge of the thing and then falling down.

That wasn't the only thing that fell- Aiden hit the ground roughly, bouncing once, upon which the flint and steel bounced out and rolled over to Jesse's feet, another time, and then, to Jesse's acute horror, over the edge.

Aiden let out a horrified scream, grasping for the edge but missing-

He caught a handful of spider silk instead.

Swinging crazily, Aiden gaped up at Jesse, whose eyes were narrowed in determination as she heaved back, pulling, pulling, yanking with all of her might, before managing to slowly haul Aiden up so that he lay on his stomach on the narrow strip of land, gaping at her as she panted heavily, looking at him with an indecipherable expression, through her maelstrom of emotions, as she slowly scooped up the flint and steel and put it away.

"You did it," and Jesse turned to see Reginald gaping at her, holding the Eversource. "Jesse, we need to get out of here."

As if to confirm Reginald's words, the whole island shook with explosions.

Reginald glared at Aiden. "What do you want to do with him?"

Aiden let out a cry, getting onto his knees, holding his hands up in shaky surrender. "Please!" he cried out, "this place is getting worse by the minute. You can't just leave me here! Take me with you!"

"After everything you've done?" Reginald asked harshly, "I'm not sure you deserve that kind of mercy."

"No no no," Aiden begged, tears running down his face in terror, "come on, you can't just leave me behind! If you leave me here I'll die! I thought-" he nearly choked, tears running down his face, "I thought you were the good guys?"

Jesse stared at Aiden impassively for a moment, before she sighed, putting her hand to her face. "Get moving... you're coming with us." As Aiden started to get back up, hands still in the air, Jesse stepped over and slapped Aiden as hard as possible. "And that was for Lukas," she told Aiden, who was just staring at her gratefully. "Thank you," he said meekly. "Th-thank you, Jesse."

Reginald huffed. "More than you deserve, frankly."

And the three (four if you counted Evie) of them walked out of the palace.

A/N: Jesse did the good thing and saved Aiden, and also let him come with her. I remember when I first played Episode 5. I hardly even hesitated to 'Take Aiden'. I don't know why. I'm too nice xD

Holy crap, CHAPTER 90. CHAPTER FLIPPIN' 90, with over FIFTEEN THOUSAND VIEWS.

HOW?

TheRealRedGaming: Remember in the first chapter, the same thing happened, they also got a mindwipe? The chip sends out 'radiowaves' that suppress, or 'wipe', the memories. However, the chips stopped working after ten years of not getting any updates or upgrades, not to mention all the work it had to do to wipe ALL the memories of them being hybrids in the first place. It had to work pretty hard with Jesse, too, meaning that all of them are still slowly regaining memories due to the chips partially functioning but not really.

angelwings: Haha, Jesse did slap Aiden. Comeuppance!
