Chapter 7: can friendship win out?
"Jack please…don't" Raimundo whispered.
"We have the advantage Jack Spicer we can see your telekinesis at work!" Omi declared "Surrender and we will not hurt you"
"Do you honestly think you can stop me?" Jack asked "I am stronger than all of you combined and for that stupid little serum to work you have to get close enough to me to use it!" he flung out his arms and the vines shoot forward in the shape of blades.
"Not like that's gonna happen!"
Massive holes erupted out of the ground as the tentacles slammed down into the ground, then shot up again. A few flew towards Omi and he stood his grounds, he tried to punch one away but…
Omi screamed as the force of the blow crushed his arm, he held his broken arm and whimpered in pain, Kimiko ran over to him.
"He broke my arm!" Omi cried out.
"You are such a baby" Jack sneered "I should have just lopped it off…then again…why not?" he grinned "Off with his noggin!"
Kimiko picked up Omi and leapt out of the way of five bladed vines, the Xiaolin Dragons leapt out of the way and down behind a pillar away of Jack's sight.
"I'm guessing he can't aim those things at us if he can't see us" Clay whispered as he used his neck handkerchief to do Omi's arm up.
"Omi where's the orb?" Clay asked and Omi looked back to see it was on the floor in front of Jack, the mist was fading away quickly but they could still make out the vines.
"Okay Raimundo give me the serum!" Kimiko growled but saw that Raimundo had gone; she swung around to see that Raimundo had gone and walked right into the clearing!
"He's gonna be a sitting duck!"
"Jack listen to me, you got to stop" Raimundo cried but he gave a scream of pain as Jack smacked him in the stomach three times at once, Raimundo flew back against the pillar and Jack walked forward grinning.
"You know there is a part of me right now screaming at me to stop killing you, but you now what…" he smiled and knelt down to glare Raimundo in the face. "It's not screaming loud enough"
"Jack…please…" Raimundo whispered.
"Kill him Jack and get it over with" Chase growled, Jack held out his hand and a telekinetic blade appeared and hovered just above Raimundo's heart.
"Yes kill him!" Chase laughed and Jack glanced at him and snarled.
Chase was suddenly flung back and a massive claw marks screeched across his chest armour, Jack leapt up and smiled coldly.
"What are you doing?" Chase roared "You swore your loyalty to me; you gave your word to serve me!"
"Yeah that might have worked on Omi or any of those little goody two shoes" he smirked as Chase was pinned against a wall. "But for me to hold my word as an honourable warrior I would need to be one! So I kept to what I'm good at" he laughed and Chase winced as blood spurted from his shoulder.
"I lied!"
"And you will pay for that deception with your life!" Chase growled and threw his hands forward breaking free from the binds; he knelt down and clicked his fingers. All the jungle cats appeared and Jack looked at them as they appeared.
"Bring it kitties!" he sneered and stood there, they leapt forward and Jack spun around to face them as he slashed his hand in he air. One of the cats was suddenly sliced in half from the jaw, another had its head and front claws ripped away…all the other cats died in the same excruciating ways and Jack stood there in the blood bath.
"Thank you Chase for that lovely warm up now for the real fun!" he said cracking his knuckles. He leapt up and flung out his arms, Chase leapt around as the floor would erupt as if cannon balls were smashing into them. He rushed forward and punched Jack in the head but he merely held up his hand and it was as if Chase had punched a wall of stone.
"Heh heh heh so called 'great prince of darkness' man what a joke!" Jack chuckled and he closed his hand Chase gave a hiss of pain as it felt as if his fist was being crushed. Jack pushed his hands forward and Chase was thrown back into wall, Jack flicked his hand and Chase was flung against another wall again and again.
"I could do this all da…uck!" he choked as Raimundo rugby tackled him to the floor.
"Stop this right now you're killing him!" Raimundo cried and Jack looked at him.
"Well duh!" Jack said.
"Chase Young was your hero!" Raimundo said and Jack threw him off and pinned him to the ground.
"Meh dark immortal hero, Xiaolin monk, evil jungle cat minion if they bleed it's all good!" Jack chuckled as Raimundo groaned in pain from the pressure being pushed into his chest.
"Leave him alone ya varmint!" Clay cried as Omi, Kimiko and Clay rushed forward to attack, Jack held out his hand and pinned them against the wall.
"Wait your turn you'll get to die soon" Jack smirked.
"If…this is the real Jack Spicer then why did you ask for me to be your friend?" Raimundo whispered and Jack stopped and looked at him sadly.
"Cos I was under the delusion that if I had friends then maybe I would belong somewhere" he whispered to Raimundo "I thought if…if you were my friend I wouldn't feel so alone…" he grasped his head and growled "No…nonononono!"
"Jack this isn't you, if you were really a killer you would have done it ages ago with your tech, for Christ sake dude you practically build a nuke if you want to but you don't…because you don't kill!" Raimundo said Clay Kimiko and Omi suddenly dropped to the floor as the telekinesis got fainter. Jack was grasping his head, his face contorted in pain as he dropped to his knees, his trembling fists smacked into the ground as he knelt down on the ground.
"Do it…Raimundo use the serum" he hissed "I can't control…myself…for long…"
"Jack you've stopped it now you can control it" Raimundo said.
"I'm not asking Rai you idiot I'm telling you…DO IT!" he screamed "Kill me now before I kill you!" Raimundo stepped back unsure of what to do, the serum in his hand but he didn't want to use it. Jack looked up at him with pleading eyes.
"Please…Rai do it…" he whispered, Raimundo held up the serum and held Jack neck. Jack's eyes flashed coldly and he glared at Omi one last telekentic blade shot forward, Raimundo stabbed down with the serum just as the blade was inches from Omi's heart. Omi closed his eyes and steeled himself for death…
Jack's eyes went dull and just before the blade hit it vanished like mist, Omi's opened one eye and looked around. Jack's body lied limp in Raimundo's arms as an empty syringe rolled across the floor.
"Jack…Jack? Oh come on dude say anything" Raimundo whispered as tears pricked his eyes, he looked at the others "We got to get Jack to a hospital now! Quick while there might be something in there to save!"
A.N sorry this took forever and a day to get here but it's here now!
