An: Oh look I updated...really it's best if you don't get your hopes up about this story...the next couple of chapters as seen in Highschool stories will be me attempting to get back to writing this and working with my characters again... which takes some time especially when you're in the middle of writing a novel... but I'll try... as it is I'm not very pleased with the last half of this chapter.


"It's happening isn't it? The girl's control again, we have to strip her of her powers before she becomes an even bigger threat than Lilith," Uriel said looking at his brothers.

"But if we do that then all might be lost, we have to take that chance the girl might be her only hope," Gabriel pointed out as they watched the magic began to wrap around her.

"But who will stop her? The girl now has a beast locked inside of her even Avalon. She's completely unstable, I mean what happens if she defeats Lilith and decides to go after the Source? What will we do then? The girl will become a juggernaut and nothing we say or do can stop her," Michelangelo pointed out.

"Her name is Jade Halva, she's the princess of Shira and she's doing exactly what we asked of her, even though showing this power and further ostracizing from her friends. They don't understand her and because of that she's all alone. Why should we punish her for her crimes when all she has done is do exactly what we have asked her." Raphael pointed out as he pulled out his list.

"Death cannot become a sentimental being on us, you out of all of us were meant to be the most logical. The girl has to be stripped of her powers permanently after this she will be. She's too much of a wild card," Uriel put in.

Raphael said nothing and watched the fight silently; he wasn't going to allow them to hurt her. "Do you know why she fights so hard for others?" His brothers shook their head, "Because they pulled her out of the hell she lived in, and for that she is thankful and willing to put her life on the line for them. "When you fight for others, a person's true power will manifest no matter what we do Jade will always be able to call on that power, it is hers after all."

"That can't be the only reason she fights for others, there has to be a reason that she risks her life every single time," Gabriel looked at Raphael.

"When a person dies, they disappear...along with their past, current lifestyle, and their future. Many people die in missions and wars. They die easily and in surprisingly simple ways. Those who die have goals and dreams, but everyone has something as important as those. Parents, siblings, friends, lovers...people who are important to you. They trust and help each other. The bond between the people important to you ever since birth. And the string that binds them becomes thicker and stronger as time goes by. It's beyond reason. Those bound to you by that string will do that...because it's important...that's what Jade believes and that's why she keeps on fighting." Raphael responded.

Gabriel smiled ruefully, "I understand that but it's painful when someone you care about dies, even for death."

Raphael shot him a look, "She isn't going to die today, none of them unless something changes their destiny."


Jade once again flipped away from Lilith's attack, and landed in a crouched position this time placing her hands in front of her in a crouched position, she could feel the magic wrapping around her protectively.

Lilith growled and threw the hammer at Jade who dodged it and disappeared, reappearing right in front of her again, another kick to the face and Lilith went flying. "Please tell me is that the best you've got?" A crazed grin appeared on Jade's face as she began to run in a circle around Lilith who stood up and dusted herself of.

"Speed alone will not kill me and your attacks alone do not hurt me. Jade you can not kill me… let me show how outclassed you are."

Jade smiled and ran up to Lilith an attack at the ready, this time Lilith dodged and landed a blow of her own that sent Jade flying into a boulder nearby, blood flying out from mouth.

"I just broke your ribs Jade don't be a fool I will kill you, if it is necessary. Today you will be digging your grave."

Jade pushed herself up, "Is it my grave or yours? I think its yours, that punch didn't hurt me. I will die here."

"If it is not my grave and it is not your grave then whose grave is it?"

Jade smiled and split herself into two people, Ot and herself, "I already told you Lilith its yours," with that the two of them broke of into two separate directions and headed for Lilith. Lilith wheeled around and hit Ot but by doing that she left herself wide open for a vicious attack from Jade whose leg snapped out and broke her collar bone.

Lilith dropped to her knees, and reached out to grab the hammer, which extended and she pushed herself up. "I'm going to kill you, the people who make me angry deserve to die." With that she smashed the hammer against the ground which literally exploded underneath the force sending Jade and her double flying. Ot disappeared from the extreme jostle to her body and Lilith smiled. "Come on Jade I haven't even begun to get serious yet."

Jade reset her dislocated shoulder and stood up, "A bomb on a stick…how crude," with that she rushed Lilith again and this time the hammer smashed into Jade's already broken ribs and Jade could feel numerous blood vessels exploding from the tremors that Lilith had hit her with. She let out a small scream.

Lilith watched the blood ooze out of Jade's body, as she tried to stand. "Give up Jade, and I will make your death painless."

"No, you should have realized by now that I will not be killed by you and your stupid bomb on a stick… as for that stupid weapon I'm going to smash into bits."

Lilith laughed, "This weapon is like the tear, I couldn't break it myself even if I wanted."

Jade didn't say anything and barely managed to dodge as the hammer tried to smash into her ribs again this time, she grabbed onto the handle and her hands glowed for a second, and she let go, pushing herself back. She could hear the voices in her head yelling at her what to do, most of them were telling her to run away. Jade coughed and once again dodged the blow which was now aimed for her head, her right hand shooting out and hitting the mallet. Lilith snarled viciously and tried a high swing in which Jade caught between her palms, her hands once again glowing.

"Do you think that's really…" Lilith stopped when a crack appeared through the mallet, which snapped off and broke. Lilith pulled back and stared at the broken weapon in shock, before looking at Jade who was clutching her bloody ribs and panting hard, even threw the pain she was in. "I couldn't break this stupid hammer…what… no who are you?"

Jade laughed, "My name is Jade Halva… and I'm going to be your executioner today."
