An: Insanity in this chapter...
Musa backed of slowly as Jade's power began to skyrocket, her eyes glowing neon red as she turned around and glared at them, "I'm going to kill you!" she growled as power began to pour out of her body, flashes of red and gold, blue and black and a dark blood red colour seemed to dash all around her.
"Well, that was unexpected… what do we do Bloom?" Stella asked Bloom.
Bloom was in shock she hadn't been expecting this either… "Guys maybe we should split up," Bloom said looking at them, "Then try and take Jade down, don't use to much energy, there's only one of her and ten of us…"
"Really Bloom is that what you think, because I still out number you 75 to 1." No longer was one voice coming out of Jade's mouth but a multitude.
"Jade I know you're crazy, but you can still count right…" Aly asked her.
"Is that so rookie." Jade began moving her hands, and muttering some words underneath her breath.
"Holy Shit," Ivy swore, as the group turned to look at her.
"What?" Flora asked.
"Those are hand seals… you know the form of magic where you use only your hands and a few magical words to do immensely powerful magic it's used in martial arts… and it's rare to find someone who could do it… simply because it takes years to teach it to them, seven years or something like that…"
"So immensely powerful hand techniques big deal, Jade still doesn't have her Charmix," Aly pointed out.
"So Jade's using ancient magic which sorta trumps your charmix anyway besides Jade never really cared that you guys got your Charmix before her it made no difference to her… she's still stronger than you guys… one on one… anyway together you guys are almost unstoppable." Ivy pointed out.
"But if we use al our magic to defeat Jade… then we won't have enough power to defeat Lilith," Bloom said.
"Well guess whose the bigger threat at this moment of time," Tecna replied.
"Flipere! Art of the 100 doppelganger!" Jade's hands glowed as she touched the ground and a hundred bodies seemingly materialized from Jade's body each wearing different colours each looking slightly different then the other, one was even on all fours her ears pointy and her teeth sharp.
"Oh great just we need more Jades," Stella rolled her eyes.
"She did it wrong…" everyone turned around to see Dani who was leaning on a tree for support. They had left her with the guys her powers had been useless because she needed some time to heal but here she stood looking at Jade.
"What do you mean she did it wrong?" Tecna asked her as she glanced at the surrounding Jades, each getting ready for an attack.
"That attack was to simply split her energies equally, including her emotions… what you're seeing here is all the different energies that run through Jade…" Dani pointed one out, "That's Feral-Jade…"
"So is that a bad thing or a good thing?" Layla asked her.
"Emotions are energy... energy in motion. When we constrain and suppress our emotions through willpower and intense fear, our energy gets blocked.
We know from physics that energy is neither created nor destroyed. So the energy we don't process in a healthy fashion is transformed... or in this case morphed beyond belief, Jade has suppressed many of her emotions over the years so they are super powerful, especially the emotion of love I believe." Dani pointed out.
"So we're screwed?" Stella said taking a step back.
Dani shrugged and nearly fell over, "Get me over to the real Jade, the one in control… I have an idea…"
"That isn't possible… Jade kinda lost control when you were out…" Aly said nervously.
Dani's eyes glowed black in anger for a split second, before she sighed, "There, has to be some control, over all of them otherwise she'd be dead…" she pointed out.
"She's been reduced to a child… her control has been reduced to that of a child, so the original version is…" Bloom said slowly.
"A child, makes enough sense to me," Dani sighed and pushed herself of the tree, this time she clutched her ribs and coughed up some blood.
"Shouldn't you be lying down?" Stella asked as Musa helped pick her up.
"Probably, but I really don't care, we need to find the real Jade… and then I can bring her back…but…"
"Buts are never good," Tecna pointed out.
Dani glanced at her, "You know what never mind… Musa you and me are going to find the real Jade… you guys… find a way to defeat them, they'd be pretty easy to defeat when you find there weak spot…"
"Are you done, because I have other people to kill," Angry-Jade asked them tapping her foot impatiently.
"Excuse her, she's just impatient, but whatever… we do have a mission and that is to kill you all, and for that I do apologize," Polite-Jade smiled at them.
"This is way creepy," Aly muttered under her breath.
"Tell me about it," Aly wheeled around and came face to face with a Jade dressed in total black. "Depressed Jade," she introduced herself in the monotone voice.
"This is pointless," Ot sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose.
"Logically I guess we should just kill them and then go back to Jade, so we can help her beat Lilith," Conduit-Jade sighed.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!" Feral-Jade chanted from where she was sitting, a crazed look in her eyes.
Ot rolled her eyes, but her hands lit up, "Since I'm in charge I guess… might as well attack," with that all the Jade's ran towards the winx club girls.
"Musa we need to find Jade… so let's find Lilith first, I have a suspicion that's where she's going," Dani whispered to Musa who nodded and quickly created a portal, which they disappeared into.
"Please don't hurt me…" a Jade in grey said backing away from Flora.
"Oh I could never hurt you what's your name?" Flora asked her dropping in front of her, a smile on her face.
"Fear," Fear-Jade turned and stared into another Jade.
"And Mischief! And I got you," Mischief said happily, as she raised her hands and all of Jade's fears was transferred into Flora. Flora screamed and Mischief laughed loudly and walked of heading towards Layla.
"And you know the time I called you a shopping freak… I totally apologize for that and I know that you might hate me for that…" Timid Jade was going on and Stella couldn't even fight all she could do was stare, stare long and hard not noticing a Jade in a Green uniform appearing and hitting her in-between the wings causing her to fall over… Brave-Jade.
"So Tecna, you and I are almost alike you know, it's almost a shame that I must kill you," with that Conduit-Jade lunged at Tecna.
Bloom glanced around, Jade's emotions were tag teaming everyone except for one that held back and watched the fight below her with disinterest, Ot… or Phoenix force Jade… Bloom flew towards her and Ot stared at her not making a move to attack her. "Hello Bloom," she said somewhat cheerfully.
"Okay… why are you attacking us? We've done nothing wrong." Bloom said looking directly at Ot who finally met her eyes.
"That's true but Jade's memories think that you did," Ot looked at her and sighed, "So I guess I have to kill you," Ot raised her hand and a huge fire blast appeared, "I'm sorry Bloom but I have to kill you, direct orders and all that…" Ot gave her a small smile.
Lilith stared at the 4'5 person standing in front of her, and began to laugh.
Jade glared at her, "I'm going to kill you I already promised that I would kill you…" and with that the 8 year old version of Jade ran head on to go fight Lilith… it would be ugly…
"Shadow Knit!" Dani Shouted as black tendrils wrapped around Jade's arms and legs… Dani made a quick flicking move with her hand and Jade was dragged back and hung upside down by Dani's tendrils.
"You're alive?" Lilith stared at Dani, "kids these days just don't know when they're beat."
"Let me go, or I'll kill you to," Jade said struggling to get out of the tendrils.
Dani nodded at Musa who walked up to Jade and slapped her twice, "Get a grip we aren't your enemies Jade, so call of your clones and be an adult about it."
Jade glared at Musa angrily and Dani dropped her she couldn't hold the magic any longer. "Bite me!" she said sticking out her tongue.
Dani growled and smashed her fist into Jade's head causing Jade to clutch her head in pain, tears in her eyes, "Respect you elders," she ordered, "Now pull yourself together."
Jade was still rubbing her head, "Fine," she announced but you could see that she was still pouting… "Unite!" Jade announced and quickly began to grow again till she was her normal size again, "Hi Dani!" she said happily.
Dani rolled her eyes… "Now you can go destroy Lilith."
"Really… thanks Dani you're the best," Jade's emotions quickly shifted and she was serious again, "And now I'm going to kill you!" Jade snarled at Lilith who had watched the small exchange in amusement… or was it disgust… she had never been easy to read.
"What the hell just happened?" Bloom asked no one in particular, as all the Jade's disappeared.
"Flora are you okay?" Layla asked helping Flora up, she was shivering uncontrollably.
"Yeah, I'm fine but Jade's fear they're really deep and…" Flora shivered slightly.
"Jade's afraid of snakes and clowns, big deal I don't see why you're making an issue of it," Stella interrupted.
"Those are surface fears, fears that can easily be gotten over," Bloom pointed out, "So… what is it?"
"It explains a lot actually… Jade doesn't want to die alone… she's not afraid of death, it's just she's been alone most of her life… and she doesn't want to die alone, but she still risks her lives for us, and we never say thank you or anything like that we just gather round and expect her to do it again, and that's alienating us from her, because Jade doesn't want to fight our own battles for us anymore, but we keep on pushing and pushing so she can't say no… I don't think Jade's capable of saying no."
"She said no to shopping," Stella offered.
"I really don't think that's the same thing Stella… after this is done we're going to hold a party in Jade's name…" Bloom began.
"She hates parties…" Ivy pointed out.
"Or something," Bloom shot her a look.
"Whatever let's save Sky and Brandon," Stella said stomping of.
She was winning she was actually winning, her mind wasn't focused on Revenge, or saving Sky, she was doing this for herself. And she was winning, but that wasn't helping her heal.
Lilith hit the ground where Jade had been with her hammer, but she missed letting Jade run up and smash both of her fists into Lilith's mouth. She drew blood first, as Jade did a graceful flip and landed a good two feet away from Lilith. If no one had known Jade was now mentally unstable… they would never have guessed. It was the same expression that she always wore in a fight, the expressionless one where all the raw emotions were held in her eyes. This time you could see most of them, anger, pain, confusion, fear, and bravery… or was it stupidity those two are always the most difficult to tell a part.
Lilith touched her lip and wiped the blood of, "This is normal for you isn't it, trying to help the friends who will eventually leave you," she spat.
Normal… Jade clutched her head as a memory ripped through it.
"Why can't you ever be normal," the girl named Cerces called out from where she was swinging.
"Yeah, normal like us," Legend the boy sitting next to her agreed.
The ten-year-old Jade turned and gave them a mischievous grin, "Yeah sure I could be normal… I could embrace a life of the flesh, abandon my mental values and adopt pre made ones instead. Popularity, joy, the paper-thin regard of my so-called friends… it could all be mine. However, normal people are ephemeral, the flesh withers away and dies…"
"SENSEI!" Cerces called out.
Jade's grin grew, "And a normal person would have turned that flesh-eating potion into Sensei instead of smearing it on the swings." She said walking away whistling to herself.
"Sensei!" both kids screamed.
Yes she had been a demonic little beast of a child, but it got her what she wanted… attention from all her peers including her teachers… she was normal, a kid seeking attention… by pulling of dangerous and sometimes lethal pranks… but she was normal right.
Jade shook of the pain, just in time to dodge a blow from Lilith who of course had taken advantage of her momentary lapse… Jade palm shot up and it smashed Lilith in the nose, more blood… Lilith growled at this and wiped her nose… it was time to get serious.
"Are we done warming up yet?" Jade asked her, an eyebrow raised in slight boredom.
Lilith roared at this and lunged at her.
