Accepting the fact that Finn had been cursed by the Overtakers, turning him into the Dark One, was bad enough. What was more difficult was explaining it to his mother.
When the keepers came over the next day, the explained to her everything. She took it pretty hard. She began to cry when they told her Finn was the Dark One and the Overtakers cursed him. She burst into tears when Amanda told her that Finn had stabbed her.
"I can still slightly feel the pain," Amanda said as she gripped her stomach.
"My son," Mrs. Whitman cried. "My son has been stolen from me. He's been stolen by the dark one."
Amanda walked up and hugged her tightly.
"We have to accept that he is not Finn anymore," Philby said. "He has no love, no pity, no remorse, and no fear. He will not hesitate to kill any of us."
He looked at Mrs. Whitman.
"He won't even think twice about killing you," he said.
"That creature is not my son," Mrs. Whitman said. "He is a demon. A monster! And for that matter I put my son's life in your hands. I allow you to do anything you need to do to defeat this Dark One, even kill him. But you must promise that Finn will not die in doing so. You must promise that you will bring him home to me alive."
The keepers hesitated for a moment.
"I don't know if we can guarantee…" Dillard started to say.
"Deal!" Jess interrupted. "We will bring Finn home safe and sound."
Mrs. Whitman smiled.
"Go kill that bastard!" she said. "Send him to join the others in the Underworld!"
Later that day, everyone was gathered in Wayne's apartment.
"So what's the plan?" asked Willa.
"What plan?" asked Charlene.
"The one where we kill the Dark One, without killing Finn in the process," Willa explained.
"We are far from that," said Wayne. "I believe that we must find out what this Dark One is truly up to."
"How are we going to do that?" asked Mattie. "We can't approach him without getting killed."
"What if we infiltrated where he and the Overtakers are hiding?" asked Philby. "They we can spy on them."
"No that won't work," Wayne said. "Overtakers can see past any disguise. Not even green contacts that can make you look like an OTK work."
Suddenly Amanda had an idea.
"That's it!" she said. "We need an OTK to infiltrate it! A real one!"
Everyone stared at her.
"Okay…one question," Jess said. "Where are we going to find an OTK who won't kill us or turn us in on sight?"
Amanda smiled.
"I know just the place," she said. She turned towards Wayne.
"Can you take us to him?" she asked.
Wayne knew whom she was talking about.
"Of course," he said. "Come with me. We are heading towards Animal Kingdom."
A while later they were in Animal Kingdom. They snuck past security, and into the Kilimanjaro Safaris.
Wayne led them into the jungle until they reached an abandoned shack.
"Is that?" Maybeck asked.
"Yes it is," Wayne said.
"Oh god," Willa said. "Now I know who we are seeing."
Wayne led everyone inside. When they were in, he pulled a lever on the wall and the shack turned into an elevator that brought them down.
When they stopped, the door opened, revealing a hallway that was filled with character soldiers or cast members Wayne recruited to help fight the Overtakers.
They all passed different cells that had Overtakers from the past locked inside them.
They passed a cell that had Blackbeard, a pirate Overtaker they fought when they all first crossed over together, locked in it. He angrily stared at the keepers as he pressed his face against the bars of the cell.
"When I get out of here maties!" Blackbeard yelled. "You'll be walkin the plank for this!"
"Yeah right," said Amanda. "Like we would ever let you get out after what you did to Finn."
"The lad refused to help me and me crew!" Blackbeard yelled. "No one disobeys Blackbeard! So yeah I shot him with a laser!"
"Not listening!" Philby yelled.
The passed another cell that didn't have bars, but a glass wall instead. Inside was Gigabyte, the snake from Honey, I Shrunk the Audience.
He stared at the keepers, hissing angrily. They ignored them.
The next cell had Pete and the Big Bad Wolf in it. They were brought there when Dillard and Mattie went to save the keepers. They had surrendered after seeing the army they brought.
"You little pests!" Pete yelled. "You'll pay for this! We will get out!"
"And when we do!" yelled the Big Bad Wolf. "We'll be teaching you the true meaning of dinnertime!"
"Well at least you will!" Pete said to the Wolf.
The keepers ignored them.
They soon walked up to a cage that had a boy standing in the corner of the cell.
"Luowski!" Wayne yelled.
"Go away old man!" Luowski yelled. "I told you I won't answer any of your questions! If I tell you, those bastards will kill me!
"Well what if we said we could protect you?" asked Philby.
Luowski turned around and saw the keepers standing at the cage.
"Well, well, well," he said. "If it isn't Phibly," he said.
Philby clutched his fists.
"No Philby," Amanda said. "We don't need fighting."
"No we don't Mandy," Luowski said leaning against the bars.
Amanda glared at him.
"The only person who can call me Mandy is Finn!" she yelled.
"Oh speaking of which, where is Whitless?" Luowski said.
"Well that's why we are here," Amanda said. "We need your help."
"What could I possibly help you with?" Luowski laughed.
"Finn has been cursed by the Overtakers," Jess said.
Luowski stared at Jess.
"What?" he said, suddenly changing his tone. "Tell me more."
"Wait!" Maybeck said. "Why are you willing to listen to her?"
"Because I have always taken a liking to Jess," Luowski said.
"Keep dreaming," Jess said. "I would never fall in love with you."
"Whatever," Luowski said. "Now tell me what it is you need me for."
"Finn has been cursed by the Overtakers, and has been turned into a being known as the Dark One," Jess said.
"Sounds bad," Luowski said.
"He stabbed Amanda," Jess said.
"Wait what!?" Luowski said suddenly.
"He is nothing like Finn," Amanda said. "He is a demon. He has no love. He is will not hesitate to kill anyone."
Luowski stared at Amanda.
"Why are you telling me this?" he asked.
"You are still an OTK, but you now have an object that can free you from the control," Amanda said.
"And?" Luowski said.
"We need you to go their hideout, and find out what Finn is up to," Amanda said.
Luowski's eyes popped open.
"FUCK NO!" he yelled.
"Luowski please!" Amanda said. "You are the only one who can get in there!"
"That's the point!" he said, now more scared. "I never want to see those bastards again! I swore that I would never go back to see any of them!"
"If you don't help us, it could mean the end of the world and all happiness!" Jess said.
Luowski looked at Jess.
"I'll do it under one condition," he said.
"What?" asked Jess.
He smiled.
"I want a kiss from you," he said.
"What?" Jess asked.
"I'll do it if you kiss me," Luowski said. "I need some kind of way to relieve me of fear."
"You are not forcing my sister to kiss you!" Amanda yelled.
"I'll do it," Jess said.
"Jess no!" Amanda said. "I will not let yourself be forced to…"
"We don't have time for arguing!" Jess said. "If he wants a kiss, I will give him one. And besides, he'll give me my first kiss."
Amanda sighed. Wayne opened up the gate and Luowski stepped out. He stood in front of Jess.
Jess closed her eyes and brought her lips towards Luowski. He brought his lips towards her. They then touched lips together.
They kissed for a few seconds, and then released them.
"Okay tell me what I need to do!" Luowski said.
Wayne told Luowski to come with him to explain.
The keepers were left in the prison.
"Jess?" Amanda asked.
"What?" she said smiling.
"Do you love him?" she asked.
She smiled.
"I see good in him," she said. "I think I see a boyfriend for me, and a new keeper, in him."
She giggled happily. The keepers were shocked at Jess. She was in love with Greg Luowski.
Alright! Big surprise huh? Jess and Greg will become a couple. I am thinking of calling it, Jeg. You like it? Tell me if you have something better. Anyway, Luowski will be joining the keepers, and getting his own DHI. I wanted to put him in the story and finally give Jess a boyfriend.
See you next update!
