Jareth suddenly moved to cut Sarah's chains with magic. He had nearly
completed his task when Jared's outstretched hand stopped him. There, in
Jared's hand, was a ball of blue lightning, ready to throw at them.
"It's your choice Jareth." Jared informed him. "Either you save your little
friends or you save Sarah. Which will it be? The two young lovebirds, or
the love you've wished for ever since before she defeated your Labyrinth?"
Jared sneered at them. Which one would Jareth choose? What a perfect plan,
Jared told himself.
"Both." Jareth matter-of-factly answered. He swiftly cut Sarah's chains,
using his magic. But Jared was faster than Jareth had hoped.
Bryon and Farrah were knocked to the floor, seizing with Jared's
electricity.
"Farrah!" Sarah screamed in horror as she watched the two on the floor,
screaming in pain.
"Bryon!" Jareth yelled in anger and worry. Jareth filled with rage. He ran
for Jared and tackled him, ending the current surrounding Farrah and Bryon.
Farrah and Bryon were finally free from the current, but were too fatigued
to do more than sit themselves up. Jareth didn't notice, but they were
holding hands, still in fright.
"So Jareth, decided to play?" Jared shouted crazily, shooting a lightning
bolt at Jareth. Jareth dodged, and the lightning that had been meant for
him hit the staircase, shooting splintered wood everywhere. Jareth and
Jared fought it out, neither gaining the upper hand. Suddenly an idea
formed in Jareth's mind. It might get him knocked out, or worse, but he
decided it was worth it.
"Bryon! Here!" Jareth totally ignored Jared as he conjured a crystal and
threw it at Bryon. Bryon got the idea and caught it. Jared smacked Jareth
in the back of the head, making him turn back to the battle. Finally Jared
was getting tired out, but not at any small price. Jareth was no better
off.
"Our paths will cross again Jareth." Jared said. "And next time they do
don't expect to live."
