Hehe!! The final showdown!!! The song is "Whisper" by Evanescence. This is another chapter I have been anticipating. Hope you enjoy it!

"Hello Sarah my sweet."

Sarah froze. Adam. But it wasn't Adam anymore. It never really was. The whole time he was a demon in disguise. She got to her feet.

~ Catch me as I fall

say you're here and it's all over now

speaking to the atmosphere

no one's here and I fall into myself~

"Adam."

He finally came into view and the room lit up. It was a chamber. The most uncomfortable place she had ever been in. Everything was made of rusted grated and chains. She could see through the holes through the grates of the floor. They were above a fiery chasm. The walls had a symbol on them. She recognized it from an occult book she once read for a school project. It was the symbol for the devil. The walls were also made of see through grates, and had urns with fire showing through the holes. She was staring to sweat. It was Hell in a room.

"I knew you would come back Sarah. It was your destiny." The Devil said quietly, offering her his hand.

"My destiny is to kick your ass!" She snapped.

"Oh Sarah, you don't want to fight me."

"You don't speak for me! You kidnapped me, killed Isabella and hundred of guado, and now I'm going to make you pay for it!"

The Adam Devil smiled and turned around. He silently thought, "She can't hurt me. Everything she says is a lie." He suddenly felt a shark jab of pain is his lower back. Looking behind him, she saw a small knife sticking out. He looked at her.

"Is this the best you can do Sarah? Well, if you truly want to fight. Then let's do it." He turned around to face her, crossing his black arms.

She gave a small smile and took something out of her hip pack. It was a crystal. Nothing more.

Adam laughed.

"A crystal! That is what's going to save you now? Oh please Sarah! You should know better."

She was still smiling, when she threw the crystal on the floor and it shattered into a thousand pieces. A white smoke emerged from the crystal pieces and enveloped Sarah. She felt the smoke on her body and remembered when Jareth gave that crystal to her.

Flashback

It was Sarah and Jareth's wedding day. It was during the reception when he took her out on a balcony and gave it to her.

"Sarah, you are the Goblin Queen now. This crystal is to be used in battle emergencies. I hope that you'll never need it. But trust me."

"What is it? What does it do?"

"I can't tell you my love. But trust me. If you ever need to defend yourself against the impossible, use this."

She nodded and took the crystal

End Flashback

The white smoke enveloped her body, and she felt released. She felt entirely refreshed and like a new person. She closed her eyes and let the smoke take her. Then she heard the Devil scream. She opened her eyes and looked at herself. She was dressed in all white and she glowed. She had a white camisole and white leggings with white knee high boots. She knew now what He was afraid of. She was a messenger. A messenger of God, and that terrified Adam. She now had the power to destroy him once and for all. She looked at him straight in the eyes and saw pure terror.

"Bet you don't want me anymore now." She said.

He didn't answer. He just started to shake violently. When he did answer, his voice wavered.

"It doesn't matter, you c-c-can't hurt me! I am a God!"

She shook her head.

"After everything that you did to me. You made me so afraid to say a word to you for fear of you hurting my babies. You thought that you instilled fear in me. But you did exactly the opposite in the end. You just made me stronger, and wanting to kick your ass back to where it belongs even more!"

~ this truth drives me into madness

I know I can stop the pain if I will it all away~

Why was He shaking? He was stronger than this woman could ever be. She was a messenger. He had to kill her. Love doesn't matter anymore.

"You want to fight Sarah? Okay. Let's fight."

Before she could even register that he moved, he had zoomed to where she was standing and sending his fists to her stomach and head. She fell to the ground and kicked his heels. He fell and landed with a yowl. They continued to do battle. Sarah's new strength and powers helped her a great deal. She smacked her foot in his face and he fell back. He could tell that she was growing tired. And when she finally fell, she would die.

~Don't turn away

don't give in to the pain

don't try to hide

though they're screaming your name~

Sarah had disappeared. Jareth couldn't understand it. One minute she was inspecting something. The next minute, she was gone! He knew wherever she was, that Adam was there. That didn't comfort him at all. He followed the map to where he was supposed to meet Lunus and the others. He traveled down long steps and winding passages. He finally saw the small group waiting for him.

"Jareth! Where is Sarah?" Sirus asked.

"She has been taken into the shadow realm. Adam has her. We need to get to her quickly." Lunus said.

Lunus was staring into nothing. His eyes glazed.

"Hey, how do you know so much about Adam and where is" Amberle demanded.

"I am a Druid Amberle. I have lived a long time and I know much of Demons and their habits. Do not ask such childish questions of me! We need to get to Sarah as soon as possible!"

~Don't close your eyes

God knows what lies behind them

don't turn out the light

never sleep never die~

Sarah was on her knees. She was so tired. She knew she wasn't going to make it. She looked up and saw Adam's lifeless eyes staring at her.

"Say goodbye my love."

A single tear rolled down her cheek.

"I don't think so Adam!" A voice screamed.

Adam and Sarah looked around them confused. There was a sudden crash of thunder, and flash of light and the company from Bevelle stood behind Adam. Jareth looked furious and murderous. The look he wore actually scared Sarah.

"Well well, let me bow down to the high and mighty Goblin King! You're just in time Jareth. I was just about to kill your wife."

"Not by our schedule you aren't! Queen Sarah will remain living and we are going to banish you to Hell where you belong." Anthony seethed.

Adam looked at the company with amusement. Whatever fear he had felt with Sarah's messenger powers was completely gone.

"And just how do you plan to do that?"

"With this." Jareth held up a simple crystal.

Another howl of laughter came from Adam.

"Another crystal. Oh Jareth you and your wife are just too much. Is this one going to conjure up magical unicorns that will whisk me to Hell? Please Jareth. That is naught but a piece of useless glass. Besides, if you're going to fight me, why not fight me like a man? Neither you nor I will use magic, and we will fight alone. The prize to be won, Queen Sarah."

Adam snapped his fingers and Lunus, Amberle, Sirus, and Anthony disappeared. Sarah was enclosed in a clear bubble. Jareth now stood alone.

~I'm frightened by what I see

but somehow I know that there's

much more to come

immobilized by my fear

and soon to be blinded by tears

I can stop the pain if I will it all away~

He stood alone. But he had to do this now. For Sarah, and for Isabella. And for the two children that lay in the hospital wing of Bevelle Palace.

"What are you going to do now Jareth?"

Jareth didn't answer, but looked at Sarah who had now regained her strength and was now standing. Since Adam had his back to her, he couldn't see her. Jareth saw that Sarah had used the crystal he had given to her on their wedding day, and was now in messenger form. This meant one thing, and the only way to defeat Adam.

"First, I'm going to blind you by a way unknowing to you, then I'm going to free my wife. Then she and I are banishing you to the fiery Hell where you belong."

Adam looked at Jareth with amusement, but then screamed when he couldn't see anymore. Jareth had cast a simple blinding spell with a twitch of his finger. He ran over to Sarah and muttered a spell, which retracted the bubble and freed her. After a few seconds, Adam was starting to regain his vision back. Jareth gave Sarah the crystal he had been holding, which turned into a golden bow and arrow. Sarah nodded, gave him a smile and positioned herself in back of Adam. Adam had now regained all of his vision and snarled at Jareth, who stood casually in front of him. Jareth waved at him and smile. Adam looked confused, and then wore a look of horror and pain, as an arrow of gold and white stuck out through his heart. Then Jareth threw a crystal at Adam. The crystal exploded on his blood- crusted chest and seethed white and gold mist. Sarah ran from behind Adam and into Jareth's arms as they watched what happened to Adam. Adam was enveloped in the same kind of mist that had Sarah, but he screamed and yowled in pain as it covered his body. Soon they couldn't see Adam anymore and only saw a shadow that was twisting in agony. There was a crack, and then a clang. Adam was gone, and in his place, the golden arrow that was once through his heart.

~don't close your eyes

God knows what lies behind them

don't turn out the light

never sleep never die~

There was another crack, and four bewildered and confused people stood next to Sarah and Jareth. The chamber started to dissolve. The fires went out and the Hellish chamber shifted into what looked like an open prison cell. They all looked at each other, and laughed.

"Oh God! What happened? We were transported into darkness. Kind of like a sleep. What happened to Adam? Did you kick his ass?" Amberle said with much excitement.

Sarah grasped her hands.

"Yes Amberle, we kicked his ass. Didn't we Jareth?" She said, giving her tired husband a wink.

He smiled and nodded. He looked out the cell window; the red clouds were now gray.

"I need a nap, like really bad." Sarah laughed.

Everyone chuckled along.

"Yes, nap home sounds good right about now. April will be having a fit, I've been gone so long." Sirus agreed. "Lead the way Lunus."

Lunus lead the way out of the cells and out of the palace. The city was still deserted.

"Hey, what's going to happen to the city?" Anthony asked as they reached the outskirts of the city.

"It will remain dead. Adam wiped out the city before we came her. He planned to rebuild it with demons." Lunus answered.

Amberle nodded solemnly, placed her hand over her heart, and extended it toward the city. They wearily mounted the giant birds, and flew off toward Bevelle.

~fallen angels at my feet

whispered voices at my ear

death before my eyes

lying next to me I fear~

When they landed in Bevelle, Sarah had fallen asleep on Jareth's shoulder. He carried her to the hospital winged with the company at his side. As they entered the wing, nurses rushed to attend to them. They all didn't make a fuss and let themselves be taken care of, although everyone was silent. Seymour, Yuna, Mech'elle, and Amara came rushing to meet them.

"Are you guys alright? What happened?"

"Yes, we're okay. Adam's gone." Jareth said, and then retold everything that had happened.

After he was done, the four stared at him with their jaws on the ground.

"Are you serious? My sister is a messenger for God?" Mech'elle asked.

Jareth nodded. He couldn't believe how tired he was. He rubbed his eyes.

"Jareth, you know you can stay here as long as you want. You can have your normal room; I can have the babies moved there. You'll get the best care." Seymour said, putting a hand on Jareth's shoulder. Jareth nodded, and left the hospital wing.

~she beckons me shall I give in

upon my end shall I begin forsaking all I've fallen for I rise to meet the end~

It's not over yet! Only two more chapters to go. PLZ REVIEW!
