Squall,Quistis and Rinoa stepped back in shock as Jayson flew out of the
cave roaring in anger, Fixxer swishing through the air.
'Jayson?' Meia cried out surprised and confused.
'He's being controlled! Try and knock him out!' Squall yelled to the others.
Quistis cast a blind spell on Jayson, only to be hit by it herself as it was reflected from him. She stumbled blindly as Squall rushed over to her, pulling a bottle of Eye Drops from his pouch and pouring it onto her eyes.
Meia was frozen in shock, her feelings fusing, preventing her from acting as Rinoa raised her arm to fire Angel Wing at Jayson.
Jayson quickly crossed the intervening space between them, taking advantage of Quistis' distraction, he brought his arm up before Rinoa could fire, knocked her arm to the side. Then laughing, he twisted his arm around hers and pulling it with a sickening crack causing Rinoa to scream in agony.
Letting her arm go he brought his arm up, his fist clenching and backhanded her hard across the face, sending her sprawling, the bomb fragments on his gloves grazing her cheek.
'That should shut you up for once bitch!' Jayson laughed hollowly before turning his attention to the other three.
Quistis watched Squall's body flinch with anger as Jayson dropped Rinoa with that punch. She released her whip and cracked it at Jayson aiming for the side of his head and was amazed and then shocked as Jayson snapped the whip-end out of the air with his free hand and yanked on it pulling her off her feet towards him.
She collided into him, dazed, and felt his hand grope her breast hard, adding sexual assault to injury.
She tried to twist out of his grip, her hand snaking out to strike him but it was easily blocked. Then before she could kick him she felt a draft against her temple and his forehead connected with hers, hard. Her vision flashed purple and then went as she slumped into his arms.
Jayson laughed softly as he whispered into her ear. 'And you're an Instructor?' he taunted before shoving her onto the floor as Squall charged at him snarling in rage. Fixxer's blade clashed against Lionheart's, blue sparks flying.
'What's the matter Squall? Annoyed you couldn't protect your sorceress?' Jayson taunted as the blades smashed together again.
Jayson forced the blades down by Squall's leg and his finger squeezed the trigger. The real Jayson fought against this and was able to pull Fixxer away so that the bullet just grazed Squall's leg, but Spore's mind rushed back quelling Jayson's rebellion and slashed ay Squall.
Squall brought Lionheart up vertically, catching Fixxer's blade and deflecting it, his leg stinging as blood trickled down it. His rage continued but at the core he knew that it wasn't really Jayson he was fighting.
Inside his mind Jayson fought another battle, pushing back on Spore to regain control of his body. So far it was even, Jayson pulling power from the blows Spore brought down on Squall, slowing his moves giving him time to dodge but Squall was still having trouble keeping up.
Squall could feel himself reaching his limit, knowing it would have to be released and put the possessed Jayson down before he was put down.
'Stop holding back Leonhart! Even Seifer fought back better than this! I guess you really couldn't beat him alone!' Spore taunted Squall in Jayson's voice.
Squall tried to hold back his rising anger and failed, his limit breaking and he unleashed his ultimate technique, Lionheart, rather than a weaker one.
Jayson laughed as he blocked every blow of Squall's Renzokuken attack, the bullets breezing past his body tearing his clothes. He then blocked every strike of Squall's Lionheart technique, all thirteen blows glancing off Fixxer's blade and when Squall came down for the downward strike he was surprised when Jayson dodged it, slamming his shoulder into his chest and throwing him backwards.
Jayson was aware of a pain in his shoulder as Squall collapsed on his back, and noticed the parasite was gripping harder, a gash on its back. Jayson prevented himself from thinking too much of this in case it alerted Spore and realised with horror that Spore was now bearing down on the inert form that was Meia, leering.
Jayson fought with all his strength as he watched Meia trembling before his eyes her hands failing to grasp her weapons as Spore raised Fixxer gloating at Jayson and brought it to her neck and pulled back. Fixxer swished back towards Meia's neck, her eyes closing in terror waiting for the blade to sever her flesh.
The blade stopped a hair's breadth from her neck as Jayson used every ounce of his sould to push Spore out and succeeded.
He slowly moved Fixxer from Meia's body and threw it to the ground as he dropped to his knees, clutching his head and gripped his hair as he screamed into the day 'GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!'
His jaw locked and his eyes clenched shut in the effort, the inside of his mind all sparks and blinding colours. Spore was still there but didn't have as much control.
'You may have won this time but you won't get rid of me so easily!' he snarled and struck out mentally. Meia watched in shock, her heart beating so fast it was a purr, as Jayson's body jolted and collapsed to the ground.
Then she too dropped to her knees and gazed over the inert forms that lay around her, before she let the pent up emotions flow and broke into tears.
'Meia...' Orion spoke to her over her sobs.
'I just stood there, I did nothing! I let them all get beat because I was too scared to hurt him!' she cried her face covered by her hands, rivulets of tears trickling through her fingers.
Orion tried to make comforting sounds but found himself floundering, not being used to emotional outbursts.
Luckily Siren came to his rescue. 'You are not to blame child, even now there's a chance. He couldn't bring himself to hurt you, you are the one that brought him back and beat Spore. Now you have to get them back to Esthar.' Siren said to her, wrapping her ethereal arms round her in a comforting embrace.
Meia sniffled and wiped away her tears, her eyes reddened she looked up to the faint form of Siren and nodded. She stood slowly, swaying slightly, the mixture of hormones in her body making her feel nauseous. She made her way to the Ragnarok and opened the ramp before slowly dragging and manhandling the four other SeeDs onto the ship and telling the pilot to get them to Esthar.
'Jayson?' Meia cried out surprised and confused.
'He's being controlled! Try and knock him out!' Squall yelled to the others.
