Chapter 10

Jason walked casually as a slight wind danced with his long coat. When he got up there they placed a crown on his head, as they had done to Yuna. After they did the announcer said:

"Let's give a round of applause to the King and Queen."

A thought suddenly hit Jason. He walked to the announcer a whispered something in his ear.

"It seems that the king would like to decrown himself and give it too…Tidus!"

Suddenly both Yuna and Tidus were shocked.

'Why is he doing this?' they both thought to themselves.

"Come on up here Tidus!"

The crowd burst into a loud noise. Apparently most of them thought that it was cool that Jason was giving Tidus the crown instead of him. Well anyway he walked up there with only a hint of a blush. When he got up there Jason placed the crown on his head.

"Thank you Jason."

"Hey…you're the only one I can trust to dance with her." he commented with a smile.

Everyone cleared the dance floor. As the slow music began to play they held each other close and moved across the dance floor. Suddenly all the lights dimmed. Then one light showed the couple as they danced. It felt like the moonlight was following them wherever they went. Tidus searched the area to see where the light was coming from, he noticed Jason in the sky reflecting the moonlight of his metal wings. He smiled and held Yuna closer to his chest.

"Yuna, you look beautiful."

"I think it's the dress."

"No, it's the person inside the dress that is beautiful."

"Really?" she asked still doubting him.

"Would I lie to you?"

After a while everyone joined in. Without warning several large ice crystals crashed around the couple. People were beginning to panic and ran for there young adult lives.

"What was that." came a voice over Jason's headphone.

"He's here Sephiroth."

Acting quickly Cloud and Jason smashed through the crystals with ease, freeing their friends.

"What was that!" asked Tidus.

"Seymour…" Jason hissed "He had been brought back to life."

"How is that possible, Jason?" Yuna by this time was starting to get scared.

"Yuna's blood can bring people back from the dead! Her father destroyed the very thing that brought death. It would make sense that his offspring would bring life. That is why I have been protecting her." Jason informed them.

"Jason, why didn't I know of this?" Yuna said becoming more scared.

"I never told you…the night I killed your parents…one of your father's dieing wishes is for me to keep it a secret so you could live a normal life without worry."

"But that's not all that you kept from her…is it Jason?" Seymour's voice finally spoke up. "When you killed her parents, you forgot to mention something."

"What is he talking about?" her voice filled with even more worry.

"I don't know how to put it…" he hesitated. "All I can say is that I have been lying to you for years…when I referred to your parents and mine as different people…they were actually the one in the same."

Yuna crumbled to the ground as the words struck her heart. Seymour began to laugh as she sat on the ground. Jason hearing his laugh, extended his arm, hand opened, and directed at Seymour. A dark sphere formed around the floating Seymour. As Jason closed his hand, the ball began to get smaller. When it was about the size of a small toy-chest he cast his arm to the left; the ball then flew in that direction.

"Then that means that…"

"I'm your brother." Jason interrupted Yuna.

Everyone gasped.

"Jason, then tell me how did you protect me? There where times when no one was there and yet something kept protecting."

"Well…" Jason hesitated once again before pulling out a gun, and pointed the barrel at her heart said. "Do you trust me?"

"Um…" she didn't know what to say.

"Do you trust me?" he said, with more firm of a voice.

"Yes. I do trust you."

"Then don't move…anyone."

She winced as he pulled the trigger. The gun's sound rang throughout the area. The bullet split the air and punctured her shirt, but nothing else. Soon after Jason sank to his knees, and plucked out the bullet from his chest.

"How is that possible?" exclaimed Tidus.

"It's a barrier…I started constructing it about 10 years ago…nothing can touch or harm her unless I permit it. When any weapon, like a bullet or a sword, comes in contact with the barrier I take the damage not her."

"That explains a lot..." said Tidus rubbing the back of his head, only to receive a death glare from Yuna.

Once again jagged ice crystals sank into the sand. There in the sky was Seymour. He wasn't hurt by Jason's attack. Only this time held wielded a spear the length of a lamppost.

"This should be quick and easy." came an unfamiliar cocky voice.

In front of everyone's eyes as the full moons light hit Jason's clothes, they change from dark black to bright white. Only Yuna and Krystal gasped. Everyone else was completely clueless what this meant.

"Don't worry you two, it's not like I'll try to hurt you this time." he turned towards the group with his heads tilted and a cocky smile on his face.

"Yuna why is Jason acting weird?" asked Rikku.

"When Jason was young his life was a living hell…so in his hatred this Jason was created. Now Jason has split personalities. The Jason we know…" Yuna informed

"…is not even the real one." he interrupted

"What do you mean? Jason has a good side and an evil side."

"Yes that is true. We both dwell in one body, therefore equaling each other out. Most of you have only seen one side of him. Yuna and Krystal have witnessed my strength before…for most of you this is your first encounter with me. All I can say is: don't get in my way…or else I have no other choice but to hurt you…" his eyes fell to the ground in shame.

"I believe I understand what you are saying…you were created to by your pain so if anyone attempts to hurt you or something you hold dear you destroy that person, and when I killed Seymour I took out your main target."

"You hit the bull's-eye there sister. That is why I had no choice but to cause you pain because you killed the thing I was after. Listen I'm…sorry. I'm sorry about that one night and killing our parents."

Once again everyone gasped.

"Hey, if it wasn't for you I would have never learned about my past, so no hard feelings." she smiled.

"Thanks." Jason smiled back.

"Yuna, I thought that this was the bad side of Jason." Krystal whispered.

"Hey," Jason said accusingly "I may be his dark side but I am actually quite protective of her…in a complicated way. Now, time to deal with this idiot."

With that Jason took off into the sky. He unsheathed both of his blades at his side. Seymour raised his spear in defense. They fought for about 20 minutes before Seymour was able to cast both him and his swords into the beach.

"I guess it's your turn to try..." he said coughing up sand.

Suddenly Jason's clothes changed color again.

"I guess so…" he said before taking off again.

He reached Seymour and unsheathed his biggest blade that was about double the size of one of his other swords.

"SHADOW BLAZE!" he yelled as the blade itself began to glow a black and extended the blade twice its own length. He drew the sword behind his head and brought it back over his head. The massive attack cast Seymour into the sea, and Jason's sword into the sand. Now his first two swords were on either side of Yuna, and the largest one was behind her. It looked sort of like a triangle of weaponry around the girl. Jason then glided down his friends.

"That was too easy."

"It looks like our guest is ready for another round of butt-whooping." Paine said pointing her finger.

"Oh…did I forget to mention Jason…that I'm immortal this time!" Seymour cockily yelled.

"That is impossible. Then I guess I'll try a different approach."

Jason opened his shirt and placed his hand around the gem imbedded in it. It was stubborn of course; soon it began to give due to the stress being put upon it. After it came off his chest his whole entire body began to glow with a dark aura. His body was then covered by a dark sphere. Then a bright flash occurred that blinded everyone for a couple of seconds. There in front of everyone stood two Jasons. One was wearing white, his hair black as coal, (this one is the evil side); while the other one was wearing black, his hair was vibrant silver (this one is the good side).

"Tidus come here." the silvered hair one finally spoke. His voice seemed deeper.

"What is it Jason?"

"I need you to do something. We will become spheres about the size of a blitzball. When I say so, push the two spheres together and they will make a powerful attack. It might hurt you, so wear these gloves while you're holding them." he instructed him as he handed armor covered gloves. "After that, use your Sphereshot…aim it at Seymour."

"Okay…are you the real Jason? Not the one we have known for years."

"Yes…I am…I can finally take these stupid sunglasses that have kept me from seeing what this world is really like."

As he said that he took off the glass and in his hand he crushed them. No one was able to see his eye color for the moonlight covered his irises. Soon he looked at his 'evil' copy.

"Let's get started." said the copy.

"Let's."

They both had silver wings sprouting out of there backs. Then they began to encase themselves in their wings. One became a dark sphere while the other became a bright white sphere.

"Now Tidus!"

Tidus desperately tried to push the spheres together, but they were too stubborn.

"What's going on? I can't push them together."

"Here let me try. Light and Darkness don't mix together very well." Sephiroth answered jumping out of the shadows.

"What are you doing here?" Krystal asked.

"Jason suggested I come."

Cloud moved onto the light side and started pushing. Sephiroth focused on the dark side. At last their stubbornness gave up, and they began to become one sphere.

"You ready Tidus?" Sephiroth wondered.

"Oh course, I hate Seymour…if I can do anything to get rid of him I am always ready."

Sephiroth threw it up into the air as Tidus launched himself into the sky. Spinning, circling, and twisting his way into the air Tidus aimed. Time slowed down as he focused all his energy to aim that deadly attack. Everyone froze where they stood, not willing to move even the slightest amount. The sound of his shin coming in contact with the ball was barely heard. Once the ball was 5 feet away it started to grow to a massive size. You could have played Blitzball inside it. It eclipsed Seymour's body. As it was able to ensnare his entire body it began to react to his presence. Explosions occurred inside of it. Next a crimson fire erupted and consumed him. Suddenly it exploded causing everyone to hide their eyes. The dark side Jason was propelled into Sephiroth, knocking him over. The other Jason was thrown into the stage, sadly all of it collapsed on him.

"Jason!" Krystal screamed running over and throwing debris trying desperately to find him. She was soon followed by Sephiroth.

"Step back." Sephiroth ordered.

Suddenly Jason burst out of the debris, clothes torn and a couple of scratches, but nothing serious. For the first time everyone was able to see the silver eyes that he possessed. Even looking at them caused you to cringe, like he was able to read your very soul.

"What?" he stammered.

"Nothing at all." everyone said quickly.

"Hey Tidus…nice job. We probably won't have to worry about Seymour any more."

Or so he thought, for as he turned his back a spear flew directed at him. The dark Jason quickly pushed the real Jason out of the way. It pierced his chest cavity. He sat there on his knees, with a blank stare on them.

"Jason…"

"Yes Jason…"

"He is still alive...The attack that could have killed sin didn't work. I guess you have no other choice…now do you?"

"I guess I don't…rest my friend…I will see you soon."

As he started to fall to the ground his body began to disappear into pyerflies. Jason was frozen…I guess Seymour wasn't lying when he said he was immortal, but even to survive that caliber of an attack is ridiculous.

"Jason." Yuna voice drenched in worry.

"He was as much a part of me as everyone here is!" his fists tightened, his blood boiled.

The wind began to pick up and created a tornado of sand around Jason. The earth beneath him shook slightly, clouds began to form above him, next the sand turned into glass. It left a cyclone of glass surrounding his three swords and himself. The glass in front of him shattered, exposing a cockily smiling guado to his silver eyes.

"You will pay for everything…If I have to give me life to ensure a peaceful future for my friends including my sister…I will." With this he flew at Seymour, his silver eyes filled with hatred and sorrow.

"No Jason…we need you here with us." Krystal whispered to herself; eyes filled with oncoming tears.

He disappeared from Seymour's sight and reappeared behind him. Constricting his arms behind him he shouted.

"If I can't destroy you physically then I will destroy in another way!"

"SOUL SHATTER!"

All of the earth seemed to call out to him, adding to his strength. Sand flowed up to him, trees swayed in the wind, water from the seas rivers and oceans shot up towards him, the moonlight seemed to focus in on him, the Farplane began to glow with as a white fire; then it began to flow throughout the sky make a path of white light, thousands of roars were soon heard; monsters also seemed to help him, machina had also answered the his voice. It was a sight to see! Fire, lightning, water, wind, earth, nature, light, darkness surround the two men…then the Farplane's light reached Jason. It was so bright that it would have given you a good feeling inside, even in the bad times. Seymour yelled as he felt his soul being torn apart bit by bit. The sun began to rise as he had finished his final attack. The smoke cleared as the sun brightened the day. Jason stood there steam rose from his body. Everyone ran to see if he was okay.

"Jason your okay!" Yuna yelled as she embraced him in a hug. "Brother?"

"No I'm not. Remember what I told you about the Oblivion Technique? I had to give up something in order to save all of yours."

"What was it?" Yuna asked releasing him.

"My life…now all I know is that nothing else can harm you in this world."

"You can't leave us…" said Krystal in a low voice. "You are the reason I live each and ever day!"

She couldn't hold back the tears that forced their way pass her eyelids. She began to cry into his chest.

"I'm sorry…" he whispered into her ear as he embraced her hugged. "…but you must be strong without me…find your own strength…live a normal life…be free of worry and sorrow."

By this time he had picked her off the ground where she could be level with his eyes. She dried her eyes to look into his. They seemed to say "Be strong, I will always be with you, even in death." Without warning he pulled her face closer to his and gave Krystal, her first and last kiss he could ever give her. She was caught off guard but soon she relaxed and deepened the passionate kiss.

"I will always be with you." he said putting her on the ground and lifting the necklace he had given her. "As long as the fire in this gem burns I am by your side."

"Hey Jason, it was a pleasure working with you." Sephiroth said.

"Ditto." Cloud replied.

"Thank you. Aerith keep Cloud in check, same goes for you Yuna…keep Tidus in check." he said with a smile. "Tidus, I can trust you to take care of her, right?"

"You bet, anything." he whispered lowering his head.

"Everyone look after each other. You are the greatest friends a guy could ask for."

With those words he stepped into his triangle of swords, and put crossed his arms across his chest. Little by little his feet became stone; his legs followed; it got to his chest; spread to his outspread wings; lastly it covered his head completely. His eyes filled with a calm happiness starring into the distance. A couple days later a funeral was held for him. The military, news reporters, almost everyone in Spira was there to say goodbye.
