Jamie stared at the door... What the? What had Jack just done... ?! Jamie began to seriously worry. On the other side of the door the demon slowly stretched out, emerging from the cavern as his true form slowly revealed itself. Jack shook under the demon's gaze.
"No... NOOO!" He stood up in anger and threw the first punch to slice him up.
"GO BACK! GO BACK! THIS ISN'T YOUR WORLD MALFOR!" He easily dodged it and threw his own punch. Jamie, meanwhile, paced the room in thought. The punch smashed into Jack's temple, making him stagger as he felt dizzy; especially from the energy he'd just used. Jack fought against the control he had over all the demons, including the one inside him.
"Stop! Please get out of my head!" He screeched, claws pulling at his hair.
"I WON'T HELP YOU! I WON'T!" Jack's voice grew louder as the pressure on his mind increased.
"You don't have a choice!" He snarled only to screech in pain at the light that blasted him from the cavern. Jack stumbled about before collapsing, the demons hissed at the light.
Jamie, what are you doing?! He hissed over the bond.
What I have to. Came the wordless reply as he stepped from the cavern, but he's alone. Roxas wasn't with him.
"No... Jamie please don't do this I... I can't..." Jack screamed in pain; the pressure was back, this time stronger.
"GET OUT OF MY HEAD PLEASE!" Jack couldn't fight Malfor, his body went limp; he looked like a puppet to this beast, his eyes turned a red brighter than blood. Jamie ignored it.
"This world is under my protection Malfor. Get out. It's not yours to take." Jack stood up by the creature's will.
"I believe it is now, and Jack here shall keep you busy while I take control of this pathetic place you call a world." He snickered, trying to fly off; millions of the demons were causing havoc and killing people, making buildings similar to the ones in hell... it was hell out there. Jack snickered and the bones in his arms and legs cracked at his will.
"Won't this be fun." Jack laughed demonically, eyes focused on Jamie as if he were prey. Jamie didn't allow Malfor to just leave though. He sent out a wave of bright light. Malfor hissed, glaring at the other spirit, he snapped his fingers; Jack growled at Jamie and attacked, wings cutting him in a slicing motion as he shrieked like the demon he was and attacked him viciously. Jamie stumbled from the attack, but he didn't let the light fade for a moment. Jack glared and laughed.
"Your light can't save you now Jamie." He snickered and attacked again with more ferocity. Jamie was slammed against the nearest tree, the constant light he produced flickered a little.
"I don't produce my light for myself... never could..." He replied on a pained groan. He sent ice skidding beneath Jack to trip him up, but he wasn't about to hurt him if he could avoid it. He knew Jack wouldn't hurt him on purpose... the wounds stung as he iced them over, but he ignored it. As long as Jack, his Jack, believed in him... he felt that he could do this... but even as he stood, doing what he could... he knew Jack had doubts, because there was no other reason that he'd locked Jamie in that room as he had... but Jamie... like any winter spirit, couldn't stand being locked away. He'd found a way out of the room, but Roxas was still there. Jack snarled as he had slipped.
"THE JACK YOU KNOW IS DEAD!" He screeched, picking himself up from the ground and hissing at the light; as Jack believed in Jamie... he was scared for him and Roxas, but Jamie... he believed in him.
"AUGH WHAT DID YOU DO!" He screamed in horror, fear and pain.
"AHHH!" Bright light emanated from Jack's body, growing steadily brighter as it glowed.
"Nothing really... but I am the Light in the darkness for Jack. That bit of hope when he seems to have none... I am what he needs me to be, because I will always be there for him." The demon shrieked in more pain.
"NOO! IT'S MINE JACK! I'M IN CONTROL NOW!" It shrieked, Jack growled.
"Not anymore you're not." He said with deadly anger as the beast fought against his light, but it wasn't enough; as the light grew brighter and brighter it screamed horrifically. Jack came to conscious control, smiling grimly before he fell unconscious. Jamie caught Jack as Malfor snarled at him and more demons appeared.
"Give it up. As long as he believes I will stand." Jamie said as the demons shrieked from the light. Malfor snickered.
"You fail to see, Jamie, even if Jack or you believe, your lights can always be snuffed out." It was then that Jack screamed in pain as Malfor was controlling him to snuff out his belief and light within.
"My light exists because of Jack. As long as he believes, my light won't go out. His faith in me is the spark that started the light in me those years ago when belief all but died." Jamie replied even as a shout went up; the Guardians had joined the fight against the demons. Jack whimpered, crying as his light would not douse; no matter how much pain he was in he would keep believing... He wouldn't give up, not like this... Never give up.
"Jamie..." He whispered, Malfor screamed in pain as a critical hit from Jack's light hit him.
"I WON'T GIVE IN MALFOR! I AM NOT A TOY! I AM NOT YOUR LITTLE PUPPET!" Jamie added his light to Jack's while the Guardians battled the other demons. The demon in Jack snarled furiously, Jack growled back, glowing brightly; ice curled up the monster's legs as the temperature dropped to 0 degrees.
"YOU ARE NOT WELCOME HERE! NOW GET OUT!" Light obliterated the demon; light shot outward from Jack to join the light Jamie was sending out, demons shrieked in terror and pain. Demons were cut down easily by the Guardians, weakened by the light from both Jack and Jamie. Malfor glared at the two.
"YOU WERE BORN MY SERVANT! DON'T DARE DEFY ME JACKSON!" Jack glared back.
"I WASN'T BORN A SLAVE! A CREATOR LOVES AND PROTECTS THEIR SPAWN! YOU... YOU'RE NOT MY CREATOR NOR A FATHER! YOU'RE A MONSTER!" He screeched and attacked; Malfor screamed in pain as Jack relentlessly attacked with his light. Despite being locked in a room, Roxas' light joined that of Jamie's and Jack's in attacking Malfor. The demon screamed in pain, Jack panted; shaking, he reopened the portal and sealed it so that it was a one-way portal and the demon screamed as it began tugging him back inside. He grabbed Jack's leg, he gasped, being dragged in with the other.
"I WON'T! GO ALONE JACK! I WON'T!" He screamed, laughing as he thought he had Jack. Jamie grabbed Jack's arm, trying to pull him back and away from the other and from the pull of the portal as it sucked in any surviving demons.
"JAMIE!" Jack cried feeling pain in his torso from being pulled both ways.
"Jamie let go too dangerous!"
"I'm not letting you go, remember?" Jamie said quietly. He'd promised, during the ordeal with Jakoul and Gale, that he wouldn't let go and he remembered that promise. Jack screamed in pain as the souls of the damned were wrapped around him and now trying to pull him into the portal.
"JAMIE LET GO! I CAN'T HOLD ON MUCH LONGER!" Jamie refused to let go.
"Didn't I tell you I'd follow you to hell? Haven't I?" Jamie said gently in response.
"JAMIE! JAMIE NO! NO... JAMIE DON'T DO THIS! JAMIE NO!" He yelled trying, to get him to let go.
"JAMIE... WHAT ABOUT ROXAS?! THINK ABOUT HIM! HE NEEDS A FATHER!"
"You're right... but it's you he needs most..." Jamie closed his eyes and there was a flash of light. It caused everyone to shield their eyes; it's barely enough to release Jack, but only because Jamie had managed a short, quick teleportation that had switched the two of them. The same ability that had gotten him out of the locked room.
I will always love you. Malfor cried out in rage, tumbling into the portal with Jamie, who had let go of Jack.
"NOOO!" Jack screamed, trying to go back for Jamie; Sandy held Jack back as light burst and everything turned blindingly white as the portal closed shut.
"Jamie." Jack's eyes were frozen to the spot where the portal had been.
"No... oh God why... ?"
