"Force, what happened to you?" Jacen yelled as he and his siblings were being led by Peter to a badly injured Susan, who was still moaning and wincing in pain from the stab wound on her arm while Edmund and Mr. Tumnus had their arms around her trying to calm her down.
Susan simply removed her hand from the stab wound to reveal the dark blood stain that had soaked her dress sleeve and showed everyone her hand which was now completely covered in sticky, red blood. Jaina, Jacen, and Anakin's mouths dropped open in complete shock at Susan's injury and tried to figure out a way to help her.
"Su, you need to leave the battle right now!" Anakin said.
"No, no. I can—." Susan started to say as she painfully reached down for her bow and arrows with her injured arm, but was stopped by Peter grabbing her wrist and pulling her up to his eye level.
"Absolutely not, Su. You know what happened to Edmund the last time, I refuse to allow the same thing to happen to you!" he exclaimed.
"It just did, Peter!" Susan cried out as the pain racked through her arm.
"Susan, Edmund almost died the last time. Do you want to be near death as well?" Peter asked.
"No, I guess I don't." Susan said.
"I thought so." Peter said, then turned to Mr. Tumnus and said to him "Tumnus, please take my sister over to Aslan and Lucy so she may rest and receive the proper care for her injury."
"I will do that, your majesty." Mr. Tumnus said and led a still moaning in pain Susan away from the fight and towards the shaded area where Aslan and Lucy were standing.
Lucy looked extremely scared when she noticed Mr. Tumnus helping her injured big sister walk, and Susan promptly collapsed in pain on the grass in front of her. Starting to cry, Lucy helped Susan into her lap and wrapped her arms around her sister in a big protective hug.
"It's ok, Susan. You'll be fine, don't worry." Lucy said through her tears.
"Thank you, Lu. You always know how to make me feel better." Susan managed to squeak out through the immeasurable pain that her arm was causing her.
Lucy giggled a little as she cried and fumbled for her cordial, which was hidden deep in one of her dress pockets. As she uncorked the cordial and as Mr. Tumnus was holding Susan's hand, Aslan was looking out at the battle unfolding in front of them in the camp. Now was the time that he was to go help his fellow Narnians, and he turned to look at the three sitting behind him as he walked towards the fight.
"It is time for me to help Narnia, my children. It is in great peril now and I fear that the witch's power is growing greater as we speak." he said, and then proceeded to continue walking towards the battle.
"Please be careful, Aslan." Lucy said, then turned to Susan and Mr. Tumnus and asked "He will be careful, right?"
"He's Aslan, Lu. Of course he will. Now if you don't mind, a drop from your cordial would be nice right about now." Susan said.
Lucy giggled again as she tipped a drop from the cordial into Susan's mouth and helped her sit up against a nearby tree. As Susan felt the warmth from the cordial rush about her and begin its work on healing her arm, she and the other two looked on at the battle, which was getting fiercer and fiercer by the minute.
Peter, Edmund, and the Solos were finding it to be more and more difficult to continue the fighting, especially with Jadis turning their soldiers into stone with that fearsome wand of hers. While Jaina, Jacen, and Anakin did have the advantage of using their lightsabers, they feared they wouldn't be able to hold off the attacks of Jadis's army much longer as her minions realized that their queen had stepped in to help them and were increasing the viciousness of their attacks.
Suddenly, the loud roar of Aslan got everyone's attention. It especially got the Beavers' attention, since it was their cue to release their attack.
"Go, go! Narnia needs ya!" Mr. Beaver screamed to the gryphons, who shrieked loudly as they flew out and above the battle raging on below.
"Calm down, dear. They'll be fine." Mrs. Beaver said to her husband.
Mr. Beaver couldn't remain calm as he and his wife watched the gryphons fly over Jadis's army, dropping huge rocks on top of them. The Narnians were very surprised to see this happening, but at the same time they were very pleased that they were getting assistance. This just enraged Jadis, as she realized that the Narnians were starting to gain an advantage on her and her army again.
"Prepare to die!" she yelled as she stabbed another centaur with her wand, turning it into cold hard stone.
"Jaina, Ani! Now's our chance!" Jacen said to his brother and sister upon noticing what happened to the centaur.
"But Jacen, do we even know what we're doing ?" Anakin asked.
"It's now or never, Ani! Narnia really needs us now!" Jacen exclaimed.
"He's right. Go kill the witch and save Narnia!" Peter yelled.
The Solos, sensing their destiny and feeling the rush of excitement, charged towards Jadis, their lightsabers firmly gripped in their hands. Jadis, sensing something coming towards her, whirled away from the stone centaur and stabbed her wand in the air towards the Solos, causing them to skid to a stop right in front of her.
"You, pathetic friends of Narnia, will die!" she exclaimed.
"I think not, witch. It is you who will meet your death right now." Anakin said.
"Nice try, little warrior. You may have come here a great warrior, but you will die a pathetic weakling!" Jadis exclaimed as she raised her wand above her head and prepared to stab Anakin with it.
But Anakin was too quick for Jadis, for as she brought her wand down Anakin swung his lightsaber at it and sliced it clean in half. Stunned and enraged at the irreparable damage to her beloved weapon, Jadis knew what she had to do next. Waving her arms around her in a circle, a blue light briefly surrounded her turning her skin very pale blue before vanishing.
"What the Force was that?" Jacen asked.
"Now try those swords of light on me, you stupid brats." Jadis said, laughing evily.
All three children charged at Jadis and thrust their lightsabers at her simultaneously, only to realize that they had no effect on the witch. Jadis, being completely unharmed, simply laughed evilly at them.
"Your swords of light have no effect on me now. So prepare to die!" Jadis taunted the children.
With that, Jadis raised her hand and started to twirl her fingers as a small blue ball of light formed in her palm. She aimed the ball of light right at Jacen and flung it right at his head. Luckily, Jacen was quick with his lightsaber and deflected the light away from him and straight towards Ginnabrik. The dwarf screamed as the light was hurled at him and was quickly silenced when he got turned into stone.
"I don't think so." Jacen replied.
Jadis was even more furious when she exclaimed "You insolent fools! I'll kill you all!"
While Jadis was advancing on Jacen, Anakin saw the perfect opportunity. He levitated a large nearby rock and Force threw it right at the witch. It struck Jadis, but yet again she was not harmed. She was just even more angry when she had her attention diverted to Anakin.
"I should have killed you earlier and now, you will pay for that!" she angrily retorted.
She conjured up another light ball and flung it at Anakin, but he too was quick with his lightsaber as he deflected it away towards a nearby tree, shearing off part of its low branches. Seeing the opportunity, Jacen Force-threw a nearby log at Jadis and knocked her down to the ground.
Jadis stood up, really enraged and charged at Jacen. Suddenly, out of nowhere, Jaina emerged with her eyes closed and one hand raised. Jadis was suddenly levitated and, with a look of pure shock on her face, was thrown back against the very tree branch her ball of light had sheared off into a sharp end, upon which she was impaled. A bright, blinding light engulfed the whole battle field, blinding everyone but Jaina.
