Chapter 23: It's Over

"We are NOT a part of your group!" Jack yelled back.

Henry just laughed. "You still don't get it. I brought you all here and WILL make you stay. The blast affected me the most. It gave me more ablates than any of you. You'll never leave this island."

"Watch us!" Jack yelled. He raised his hand to Henry and a blast of energy shot out sending the man and Bea flying into the far side of the wall. "Kate, Claire, Danielle, take the kids and go." Jack turned towards the girls. "I'll finish this."

Claire nodded and ran, holding Aaron tight. Danielle and Alex followed. Kate looked back, holding Emma. "Please be careful Jack. I love you."

"I love you too." Jack thought as the girls left.

Bea was still out cold, but Henry got up slowly. A cut now formed across his forehead. "That was not a smart thing to do." He raised his hand and shot a blast towards Jack.

Jack fell over and Henry came closer. "You can't defeat me Jack!" He kicked Jack hard, making him howl in pain.

Jack looked the evil man in the eyes. "I may not be as powerful as you, but I can kick your ass!"

The two men started throwing punches. Computers and things were breaking. However, somehow Henry was stronger. He soon had Jack lying on the floor again.

An evil smile came to the man's face. "It looks like you'll be seeing daddy soon. It's a shame you won't see your son that Kate's pregnant with." He raised his hand towards Jack's heart.

A fear so strong hit Jack. Going with his motto, he let the fear in for 5 seconds. He was going to die and never be the father, husband, brother, and uncle he wanted to be.

BOOM!

A look of shock crossed Henry's face as he fell down. Juliet held the gun she had taken from Claire.

Jack was speechless. This woman saved his life.

"That bastard deserved to die after what he put us threw." Juliet explained. "But he's not dead yet. You have to leave Jack! Now!"

He rose and tried to thank her but she wouldn't have it.

"You need to go to your family now. You have 3 minuets to get out. GO!" She ordered.

"What about you?" Jack asked concerned.

Juliet smiled. "It's time for me to go home."

Jack just nodded and ran. He found the exit soon and made his way outside.

Sayid saw him first, then Locke. Eko and Desmond were treating each other's wounds. Danielle held Alex close, both overjoyed. Sawyer was with Cindy and Zack. Claire smiled widely seeing Jack was ok and held Aaron close.

Kate and Emma ran towards him. "You're all right?"

Jack nodded but this wasn't over. "Everyone we need to duck and cover. Now!"


Juliet leaned close to Henry. He was bleeding a lot.

"You betrayed me Jules." He looked angry.

"I had to. I had to stop you. I'm sorry." She had a look of remorse in her eyes.


The group hurried and made their way away from the building. Jack led the way and made them all duck and hide in the jungle tree line.

BOOM!

A huge fireball exploded from where The Flame was. Debris went flying everywhere. Jack held Kate, Emma, Claire, and Aaron close as smoke rose into the sky.

When it finally cleared Jack asked, "Is everyone all right?"

Kate, Emma, and Claire nodded. Sayid called over a yes from where the rest where gathered.

Everyone met up after the explosions stopped.

"Is it over?" Sayid asked.

"It's over." Jack smiled. He brought Kate and Claire, who was holding Aaron close. "Let's go home."
