Jasper's POV

I heard a howl and at the edge of the tree line I saw Leah, Patrick, and their son Leonard. Good, we'll need all the help we can get. I refocused on Felix.

Felix and I circled around each other not taking our eyes off of each other for a moment both extremely cautious and waiting for something to go horribly wrong.

"Let's just skip the preliminaries shall we?" Felix asked. I nodded. I threw my jacket to the side and Felix dropped his heavy Volturi robe at his feet. I twisted my hips from side to side as he rolled his shoulders back. He crossed over left and I crossed over right never once taking our eyes off each other. I heard his fingers clench in to fists… and then it began.

"Ironman" Jack Elzam's POV

I'd watched this southern vampire had danced around his much larger opponent and kicked him around like a ragdoll. Whoever he was he was extremely dangerous. He'd be important to kill maybe our team would go after him if he survived.

"Keep your eyes on the one called Jasper… He'll be a target." I heard laughing in front of us. I looked at the back of Havik's head annoyed.

"What is it?"

"Jasper would be hard for me to bring in, your little B-Team All Stars here don't stand a chance." He said mocking us. I put a hand on my team on either side of me to keep them calm.

"What makes this 'Jasper' so special?" I asked.

"Always looking for more information." He said and I could hear his smirk.

"You see those small marks on his neck and arms." I looked closer and I could see lines and marks."

"Yeah? So?" Briggs answered.

"Those are from all the vampires he killed, he's a very very good fighter and has been doing this since the Civil war." I heard one gasp but couldn't place who it is.

"You mean you expect us to believe he's been around since the Civil war?"

"I don't expect you to believe anything that's simply the truth." I took another look at the two warriors locked in combat, their dance was almost hypnotic.

"And the one he's fighting is even older." Their fight looked as fluid as water seamlessly parrying and striking at each other. Block to strike, strike to block, almost as if they knew what the other one was thinking.

"They aren't mind readers are they?" I asked honestly.

"Not those two, they're just that fast, and have good reflexes." I began to feel sick to my stomach. We can't possibly beat either of them head to head. Then I stopped short and the feeling in my stomach got worse.

"You said 'not those two, their just that fast.' To my question if either of them were Mind readers… do you mean there is a vampire who can read minds?" Havik laughed darkly.

"You have a lot of questions today. There is more than 'a' vampire who can read minds… heh… both sides of this war have one." Why is he volunteering information for free? He's never done that before… this whole situation with watching this war seems wrong. I ran my fingers up and down my sidearm again. Stay calm, everything will be fine.

Embry's POV

I faced up against the only black vampire the Volturi had. I charged and in a blur of movement he was at my side, then I was flying through the air at least twenty feet. I landed hard on the ground and turned back to him as he glided up to me. I stood up ignoring the pain in my right side. I'd gotten good at ignoring pain. He charged again this time I forced myself backwards as fast as I could and pawed ahead of me at the air. I connected with a hard surface he went down like a bag of bricks. I looked at his robes, my paw marks across them, he came back up. I heard a scream in pain and looked over to see Zack crying over his twin brother Drew. I gulped down painfully. He died too young. I coughed and tears started to build up in my eyes. I turned back to the vampire I was fighting. His eyes were on the two brothers.

"They're brothers aren't they?" he said in a voice distinctly American. I nodded. I watched in horror as a vampire was coming up behind Zack crying over his dead brother. I sprinted there immediately. Damn it! I thought pushing myself as hard as I could I leapt through the air and caught the vampire's shoulder as his hands wrapped around Zack. I pulled and tugged and pulled him off of Zack. With a quick tug his head was off.

Jasper's POV

"You're good… I would expect no less from the spearhead of the Volturi." Felix stood out of his crouch and rolled back his shoulders as if to stretch out again.

"You're not too bad yourself Jasper… I haven't had this much fun in… well too long." He said smiling at me.

He charged and slid on his back leg as his front leg slid forward, it looked like his foot in the air was almost pulling him forward but I knew the fighting technique. H threw a front kick I blocked, then a round kick, then hook kick I ducked under, all without putting his foot on the ground. He threw a punch and I ducked under pulling him over me to the ground. I pulled my fist to punched him but his foot caught me in the face even though he was laying on the ground. I was momentarily stunned and he spun under me then swept my legs. My back hit the ground. I threw my elbows against to pushing me in to the air and quickly spun back in to a vertical base. Felix was standing opposite of me. We both circled, our eyes never leaving our opponent. I crossed over moving my left hand forward defensively until I uncrossed moving my right hand back up to guard. It was a game of chess with deadly consequences.

I got my foot under a rock and flung it at Felix. He caught it and I charged jumping with a front kick, and round kick both in the air as he blocked both. He came around with his own round kick I threw my arm just in time to block it. I followed the block threw with a spinning hook kick he ducked under. I launched a punch. He blocked my punch with the stone and it shattered in his hand. He got a hold of my wrist and spun me until my back was facing him. He kicked and pushed me away. I turned quickly to face him. I still can't one up him, what will it take?

Kate's POV

I watched in horror as I saw someone use my ability. He had blond hair and… I stopped short. He has my power… he looks like… No… he couldn't be my descendant could he? I watched another wolf go down quickly and I sprinted towards him.

"So you must be Kate." He said with a smile. I moved in to a fighting stance.

"Hi Grandma" he snickered. The truth was I was much older than that but the meaning wasn't lost on me.

"You don't want to fight me, you won't win."

"I think I've got a trick or two up my sleeve."

"You'll need more than that."

Edward's POV

Who is that? I thought to myself.

"I don't want to die, I don't want to die, what if I lose? What if I make a mistake? I don't want to die." I looked and found him. It was Mike. Belatedly I realized exactly what was happening. He was coming out of his newborn rage as I thought about it. He wasn't reckless anymore, but that also meant he realized he could die.

I thought about it. He's never fought for his life before. I raced to his side as fast as I could. He can beat this guy in a fight but he's too timid, he's too worried about being killed. I thought before stepping in and grabbing the vampire by the head and twisting it off. I had to stop to realize what he really was… He was just a 17 year old boy thrust in to a vampire war who didn't have a reason for being here. Bella was already engaged to me before the newborns came, he came here out of some sort of sense of chivalry. Stupid boy.

"Mike, get by Bella and Benjamin" He nodded.

"Thank you Edward."

Thanking me? Was this the same person who tried to kill me a little over a month ago? I forced myself to realize that was his newborn instincts. Xavier had manipulated him.

"I'm so pathetic I'm afraid to die here… no wonder Tanya wants Edward and not me." I wanted to tell him he was wrong but there wasn't time now.

Josef's POV

Wolves… so easy to read. I faced up against one of them, he was average, he was smaller than the large ones and bigger than the small wolves, he wasn't fast, he wasn't overly strong he just was. He leapt at me. It was insulting. I could see every move he made easily before he did it. I almost regretted being able to see in to the near future. This is boring. I tagged him with a round house kick to the face knocking the spit out of his mouth. He came back at me with a swiping paw, I held my hands behind my back and spun over his paw barrel rolling easily over his attack. I sighed. Surely there has to be someone worth fighting here? Maybe there is no challenge for me… maybe I'm just too powerful for everyone.

Brady's POV

This vampire fights like a demon. I thought he was a newborn? I thought rubbing the side of my face where his kick landed. He was so fast he reacted before I could swing, almost like he knew what I was doing. I stepped back on to my hind legs feigning retreat and as he came in I lunged forward. Instead of a moment of uncertainty he closed the distance. I felt a cold fist on my chest and felt cracking. I tried to roll away but his arms were around me.

"Pity I was hoping you'd be fun." What does he mean. Then I felt it. His cold teeth bit in to my arm.

Jasper's POV

I pushed at Felix's back I charged at him realizing I needed to take every advantage I could. I threw a round kick he threw his elbow out and blocked and pushed it back then threw a spinning side kick at me hitting my stomach. I stumbled back. He didn't give me time to recover, he raced after me with a axe kick that I dodged under then a jump spinning axe kick I slid away from I blocked the third axe kick with one of my own. He threw two punches I blocked, a third, then I realized they were all three to get my hands out of place… I realized too late as he came with a straight punch connecting with my jaw. I stumbled backward and put my arms up his bigger arms wrapped around my head and pulled me down to his knee which was ramming in to my stomach. I clutched my stomach painfully He grabbed me by the top of my head and pulled my face up. I tried to bring my hands up but before I could I felt a hard fist connecting with my jaw. The sheer impact lifted me up off the ground. I went sailing through the air. My back hit the ground then I rolled back to my feet quickly and a harsh realization came to me. I can't beat him.

Sam's POV

"Brady! NO!" I screamed in my mind as I watched the vampire's teeth dig in to his skin. I charged across the battlefield risking an attack from any side. Brady was my responsibility. Damn it I told his mother I'd watch out for him. I let out a feral roar as three vampires were in the way, they moved almost as if on command and I charged past them at the vampire who killed Brady.

Josef's POV

This one is much bigger, good he might be fun. He stopped short staring at the wolf who was turning in to a human in front of his eyes. His whole body started trembling and I watched tears form in his wolf eyes.

"Oh you knew this one? He wasn't that good of a fight, hopefully you'll better." He reared back and roared at me. The sheer pressure of his roar pushed my body back. I smiled. This will be fun. He bit at me and I dodged away. He didn't leave me an opening as he pushed the attack repeatedly. The damn wolf was smart. Finally I decided hell with it I'd break his jaw. I'd had enough fun playing around with him.

He snapped at me and I caught his giant teeth. I was going to break his jaw clean off. I started pushing them apart then I saw in to his eyes. I saw the hate, the revulsion, the determination to kill me. I faltered but only for a moment then started pushing his teeth apart again, but something happened.

He was biting back, forcing his teeth together with my arms still in them. I couldn't let go because my arms would be gone for sure.

"What the hell? I'm a Newborn. There's no way you're stronger than me." As much as it defied logic it kept happening his teeth inched closer and closer and the resolve in his eyes burned brighter and brighter. I started to panic as my grip grew weaker and weaker. Finally he clamped down on my arms then I saw in my mind exactly what he was going to do… but it was too late maybe that is the worst fate of all watching your life end seconds before it happens.

Sam's POV

I spat the lifeless carcass out of my mouth and phased in to human form immediately. I was down on my knees gently lifting Brady.

"Come on Brady, you can make it through this, we'll just get someone to suck the venom out… Yeah… just like Embry… come on you can make it." I said even though I didn't believe it. My vision was starting to blur with the tears in my eyes.

"Sam… It's too late for me, we both know it… I'm not like you and Embry… I'm not that strong." He said weakly.

"No! You'll recover I know it!" I pleaded more than told him. I needed him to survive, he was one of mine, my responsibility. He smiled. Why is he smiling?

"You were the father I never had… the older brother… I… always wanted." He said weakly.

"Damn it! Where is a fucking Cullen!" I yelled.

"Give up Sam… I can't even… move… my arms and legs"

"Damn it! Why wasn't I here for you." I said between sobs.

"Stop it… Sam… Don't… blame… your…self…" He said coughing.

"Damn it! I command you not to die!" I screamed trying to force him to live. He laughed through a hoarse cough.

"Maybe… if I… was… a… wolf…" He said as it looked like keeping his eyes open was too much work. His eyes closed… he stopped supporting his own head and I held it up for him as he weakened further and death inched closer.

"I should have never asked you to come." I said mostly to myself.

"I… came… to… pro…tect… my… fam…i…ly… I… have… no… re…grets…" he said between weezes, coughs, and gasps for air. His hand gripped my arm.

"Goodbye… Sam…" His fingers grasp loosened then I felt them slide down my body as the last of his strength left his body. I pulled his body to my face crying in to it. It wasn't supposed to happen like this. He was so young, he never knew his true love. Damn it! It should have been me.

I heard a cold laugh in front of me. My body started to shake without looking at him.

"You'll be joining him soon." I heard in a deep Indian accent. I stood straight up and my arms were still shaking.

"NOW, YOU DIE."

Leah's POV

I watched in horror as Brady writhed in pain. Sam was crying. I gulped down the pain.

"No! You'll recover I know it!" I felt a tear coming down my cheek. He won't will he? That fucking bastard probably thinks its all his fault, trying to take all the burden. Why did he always need to hold the weight of his world on his shoulders.

"NOW, YOU DIE." Sam screamed and phased ripping the vampire apart in front of him, then I saw it… Embry was sprinting towards Felix and Jasper.

Embry's POV

I watched Sam crying over the dead body of Brady, Zack over Drew, David and Harley over three of their packmates… Too much death… this needs to end. EDWARD, HEAR ME NOW. I screamed in my mind. I knew it resonated through Jacob's mind as well. Edward made his way over to my side.

"This needs to end." I thought and nodded.

"Yes, but how?"

"Just translate." I thought before seeing what was happening to Jasper.

Felix's POV

I spun with an elbow and my foot lagging. Jasper blocked the elbow easily but was thrown off balance with my sweeping leg. I pushed his back forward, his natural reaction was to pull back and that's what I was waiting for, I slammed by hand in to his neck then slammed him in to the ground. I left the weight of my body on my hand and spun my body and put my free hand on his chin.

"You've been the best fight I've had in too long… but this ends now." I heard a loud roar and looked up to see the largest wolf I'd seen. He had to be near nine feet high. He was almost as big as a small werewolf… He stared me in the eye and slowly walked over Jasper. I didn't move and assessed my ability to retreat, he came within a foot of my face and opened his toothy mouth.

"Hi Embry…" Jasper snickered under me. He must have realized what I did… If I killed Jasper I'd be dead in an instant. I released him and stood up. The giant wolf motioned to Edward.

"Embry proposes a duel to end all the killing." Edward said. Felix nodded.

"The parameters of this duel?"

"If we win… You will leave." Edward answered.

"And if we win?" Felix asked confidently.

"If you win Embry will join as a member of the Volturi."

"No deal." Felix said.

"If you win… I'll join you." I grinned at who responded. Yes, you would make a worthy member of our Guard… Jasper.

Wow… there was an unethical amount of stuff going on during the battle… I realized I had like 6 more POVS I wanted to do than originally planned which is why there is about another HALF of a chapter on my usual length. I'm sorry for the lack of gratuitous Felix/Jasper fight but I liked how it all came out. I really like this chapter. I feel really good about it and I hope you do too. Well maybe feeling 'good' about the first chapter I killed a character from the books… Well any who. Thanks for reading Please review, it doesn't take long and I appreciate it, I spend hours on these chapters, if you enjoy it please spend the extra five minutes reviewing. Remember, Knucks, high fives, rolls of twenties, and ideas. Catch you on the flipside.
