An: I'm not writing a 107 page fight scene this early in the story, I'm sorry but imagine there was a huge ass fight scene… don't worry I will write one but not now, a fight scene at this point in the story would be pointless…maybe I'll come back later and insert one.

People enjoy toying with darkness

It's interesting in its own right

Because there is darkness in everything

And sometimes it wins

She was having a very bad day. She really should have stayed at home today, it would have the humiliation and possibly pain of doing what she was doing right now. After all she had an idea how powerful Icy was and she knew she was going to take the fall anyway, she also knew that even if she hadn't shown up they would have lost anyway. Well had she stayed at home, she wouldn't be in this predicament right now.

"Let's see; you blew me off my bike into a wall, then you sent me crashing into an office, oh and who could forget how you sent me flying into that dumpster, ooh and into that shop of knives," Jade said, blood dripping from her forehead into her eyes. Two of her guns were pointed at Darcy and Stormy, who were standing on either side of her. "Are you done playing crash-test Jade?"

"Hey what about us, if you think you had it bad…" Brandon began only to be shot the coldest glare from Jade he had ever received.

"I'm blaming you idiots for this mess, you could have left me at home, where I could be drawing or writing at this time but noooo you had to drag me along on this suicidal mission," Jade snapped at him.

"Ahem I hate to interrupt this touching moment but really your choice princess, the Solarian brat or will you try your luck trying to take us down?" Icy snarled at her, and Jade had to give her props for her acting. Jade flicked her eyes to Stella who was slowly being frozen solid. Faeries hated the cold, she knew she despised it when Icy hit her with one of her cold spells.

"Decisions, decisions, save someone I really dislike or try and bring in the bad guy. On the one hand she'll be dead and I won't have to deal with her anymore, on the other hand…" Jade paused and thought for a split second, "Sorry I have nothing, there really is no upside to her being alive the world doesn't need another spoiled brat," Jade said with a nonchalant shrug.

"You'll regret it Jade, you'll feel guilty," Brandon yelled at her.

"Guilt? Definitely not, I'm doing this for the greater good you know the one you guys preach so highly about, one sacrifice to save hundreds."

"She's my best friend Jade please drop the gun," Bloom said giving Jade a pleading look.

Riven sighed, "Think of it like this if you save her life now she'll be indebted to you and you can make her do whatever you want."

"That isn't the problem, really it isn't. If I do drop the gun what's to stop them from icing her anyway, stop thinking with your emotions and think with your head. Or am I the only person with that capability these days."

"She's right. I was just going to kill her," Icy said with a shrug.

"What exactly do you want?" Sky asked forcing himself into a standing position his sword lay shattered beside him.

"Well we were minding our own business when you interrupted us, I suppose we could have left a long time ago if we had wanted, unfortunately for you kicking your ass is just too much fun," Stormy said.

"So this force that is supposed to stop us? They wasted our time here today ladies, if we kill them now the darkness will begin spreading like a virus, however I am sure Baltor would like a piece of them when the time comes so we'll keep them alive until then. However the princess would be an excellent addition to our plans, she seems to be the only one with sense in her head, so I'm extending you an invitation to join us."

Jade frowned slightly, "What's in it for me?"

"Jade," Bloom admonished as she too got up, with the possibility of Icy killing Stella she to was stationary.

"How about the ability to wield magic, I'm sure you feel only half complete without that ability. We can give you your magic back Jade, we can make you whole," Stormy said.

"The ability to change the world for the better anything you wish for," Darcy whispered.

"If you wish it revenge to the people who have scorned you and lied to you, these people aren't the light they have been tainted with evil themselves."

"Don't listen to them Jade, lies they're trying to trick you, remember the warehouse last night? All those men dead, they killed them all," Sky shouted.

"Really just like they were going to kill the children? You see the people in the slums you see people dying every single day Jade and yet you continue to lie to yourself. The Pride are selfish they don't care about the greater good all they care about is themselves, their image their money. Have you noticed that only the poor are said to be members of the darkness never the rich? It's only the rich that can afford to fight the darkness. Your own parents are trying to kill you because you don't fall into their image of the perfect daughter. They even stripped you of your power so it would be easier to kill you," Icy continued.

Jade frowned this wasn't part of the plan, "Shut-up," she said with a growl.

"That's a lie, members of The Pride are members of the light they don't have a shred of darkness in them," Flora shouted.

"Trust us Jade light is the only thing that can stop the dark, we see things for what they really are, the dark is evil," Layla added.

Jade fell to her knees and clutched her head which had begun to pulse in pain, "Shut-up," she repeated more forcefully. It was like to warring forces having a massive battle in her head.

"Really? Darkness is just misunderstood just like you. Beside you have that power to see what is really evil, and what do you see? The so called members of the dark are fighting to protect themselves from the light, yet they want to annihilate us. We are only fighting to protect ourselves Jade."

"We're trying to protect the people from people like you!" Bloom shouted and threw a ball of magic at Icy who blocked it.

Jade grimaced in pain and tried to crawl away from the group, they might not know it but their words had magic laced in them, and the verbal battle over her was splitting her apart. "Shut-up," she shouted.

"Hey Icy something's wrong," Darcy said turning to Jade whose eyes shot open revealing the glowing black eyes.

Icy turned to Jade and frowned in worry, something was wrong, "Jade?"

"Cousin?"

"Ladies a debuff spell would work nicely right about now," Icy ordered as a drop of blood fell from Jade's nose.

"DYXTERION." Darcy bellowed and a black light descended from the sky and struck Jade knocking her out.

"What did you do to her?" Bloom shouted running to her and pulling her up into a hug. Icy ignored her and nodded to her sisters who disappeared with her.

"Shit, Codatorta's going to kill us, she was the best sniper in twenty realms," Riven groaned.

"I'm not dead you jackass," Jade replied groaning as she stood up. "But for a split second I thought I was," she lied as she opened her arms as if she wanted a hug. Riven looked at her suspiciously, "And I realized how much I'd miss you guys for being idiotic, now can I please have my hug."

"Aww that's okay Jade," Brandon said grabbing her and Riven shook his head, he had been the last poor idiot to hug Jade.

Jade's knee shot up fast and a thud was heard as Brandon dropped to the ground grabbing his crotch, a silent scream coming from his mouth. "I'm going home and I'm not answering my phone or opening my door for any of you. You can go die for all I care, I'll ask the officer in charge if I can switch teams, I'll have less a chance of getting killed." she announced stalking off.

"Dad is it possible for a faerie whose powers were bound to gain some more powers?" Bloom asked Oritel.

"Well it has never happened before, it isn't impossible for that to happen. Why do you ask?"

"Jade's eyes were glowing today, when we were attacked by those three witches, she screamed and clutched her head in pain and her eyes glowed black. The witches then hit her with a debuff spell and knocked her unconscious, this was after they asked her to join them of course."

"Black? Jade's powers are light based." Oritel said surprise evident in his voice, "Tell me everything that happened today Bloom," he ordered.
