Author's Note: Nothing to say…lets move on with chapter 4.
Jase to the Rescue…Almost
Regina was feeling good she had gotten rid of Jase and now there was no one in her way of capturing Artemis so that he could lead her to the other four elemental stars of sky, light, dark and ice. With the other four elemental stars she would wish for a great army so that she could rule the world and everyone would be her slave. Her red cape flowed as she ran towards the bridge up ahead. After convincing that no one was following her she started to walk every few seconds looking behind her.
Moving as fast as he could, Jase raced for Vale his short, brown hair moving slightly in the wind. Jase soon reached the river where Regina had already crossed the bridge leading to Vale. He then used his powers to sense that the river was there and knelt down on his knees, stuck his hands in the water and scooped up a drink. It was enough for him and he then crossed the bridge and ran into the city of Vale.
Regina had already reached Vale and was already up town threatening people to tell her where Artemis lived. Soon she met an old man that said that he was Artemis. He had a wrinkled face and a gray and white beard. He wore a dark brown robe and walked on a cane. His thin reading glasses looked Regina up and down before finally asking her, "What do you want with me? Who sent you?" and she replied with a sly voice, "None of your business old man. Now come with me and once you lead me to the other four elemental stars I will release you…maybe. Now come!"
"Someone! Someone help me!" cried Artemis.
"Don't worry Artemis! I won't let Regina harm you!" said Jase with his jacket flowing in the wind heroically.
"Oh, come on, not you again! Will I need to crash another boulder on top of you or would you like an all out fight?" Regina said with a smirk.
"Neither, I'll just take Artemis and I'll do anything to do that…anything!"
"Well, to get him you're gonna have to come through me! Here then taste the power of the Heat Wave!" Regina then pointed her hand at Jase and unleashed a wave of fire at Jase.
"I won't stand for this, Card Cage!" Jase then took his hands pointed them at the heat wave and once again multiples of cards captured the heat wave and he then moved his arms so that it looked like he was turning the orb with the heat wave inside and said, "Open the cage!" which out of no where a card from Jase's sleeve came out and stuck itself in the side of the cage and soon the card turned and the card cage opened and the heat wave headed straight back at Regina.
"Aaaahhhh! How could this be? But wait, Heat Wave!" which unleashed another heat wave right at the other and they both hit one another doing a cancel out. The light from both fires lit up the afternoon scene and both Regina and Artemis took their arm and covered their eyes and their capes, jackets and robes couldn't stop flapping from the impact. Jase was blind, but he could still tell when the light went away because of the wind pressure decreasing.
Jase knew that Regina wasn't blind so he took the advantage and just before the light ended he jumped high into the air and delivered a special card that he liked. "Flaming Ace!" which he took one card and while it was in his khaki gloved hands it burned all around it. He then threw the card hopefully aiming for Regina's cape. The card flew faster and faster heading straight for Regina's cape as it went faster burned even stronger and right when the light ended the card struck Regina's cape.
"No, no, not my cape!" She then wrestled around trying to put out the fire by stomping on it. After finally getting the fire out she did the lightning move only a little different because this time the lightning continued to come down from the sky aiming only for Jase but he was ready again. He took out his staff and started to twirl it expertly and the lightning continued to hit the staff and Jase came to no harm.
But as this happened Regina grabbed Artemis and ran off soon leaving Vale and Jase to be blocking with his staff forever…maybe.
