season1 episode17: the shadow are my friends

a few day's had pasted and jack and jane started to become friends but she had told everyone about the strider attack and how jack was able to kill it by using his sword and with the shadows that were around him. Hearing this lady searched for jack around the area to find out if it was true or not after a few seconds of looking she found him sleeping on the glass in the back yard.

"jack is it true" asked lady as she was looking him in the face.

"is what true" said ej as he cracked one of his socket's open to peek at lady.

"you being able to use the darkness around you as a weapon" said lady.

*damn it I knew I shouldn't have used those power's around jane, well here come's the whole you dishonor my family or some shit * said ej in his mind not wanting to hear her out burst.

"yes it's true what about it" said ej as he kept his cool.

"your the first person out of the nightmare family to use that power how did you know to get it" asked lady in a calm tone.

"well if you really what to know when I was looking at my sword that you let he have I accidentally bleed on it then this strange black smoke hopped in to my body through my socket's and mouth. Then I started to move the shadows around it got easy when I realized that I could create stuff with my mind some I kept it a secret until jane and I were being attacked by the thing" said jack.

"that amazing I told me a couple of years to learn that but for you it was a few days or weeks to master it" said lady.

"sure whatever you say lady but right now I just want to be alone OK" said jack as he was slowly drifting out into sleep.

"jack please I want to know you even more you such a strange person you hard talk to anyone here the only one who you manged to speck with is rolant and he barely knows anything about you" said lady as she wanted to learn about this man.

"look lady my story is long boring, painful, and nasty with lies and thing's no man should ever have to deal with in they're lives" said jack as he wanting to return to his nap.

"please jack I just want to know you" said lady putting her hands together.

"look right now I'm just a guy who wants to sleep so can you give me that please" said ej as he sat up and looked to her.

Lady knew that she wasn't getting her answers now so she nodded and left the eyeless man to his nap. As she walked back she couldn't help but to feel a little anger at him for now telling her about him and that his strange no body was going to denied his destiny she wouldn't let that happen. After sometime of thinking she and rolant had made a plan to get him to understand what he was destined to do rolant had swordsmen training with him in an hour so lady had rolant motivate jack to take up his destiny. Rolant met ej in the same spot where they had started the training but rolant during the fight kept talking to jack.

"i heard you got shadow power's from the king's sword is that right" said rolant as he blocked a swing form jacks sword.

"pretty much but I don't see what my it so interesting" said jack as he swings downwards only to have rolant block the swing.

"you must understand lady was the only one who could use such power" said rolant as he trusted his sword forwards as jack jumped back to dodge it.

"yeah but come on so I have shadow powers big deal it not like I'm no different than anyone else here" said ej as he swung at rolant blade and knocked it out of the way.

"you were once a human who was turned in to what you are now don't you want revenge against zalgo for what he did to you" said rolant as he recovered and went on the defense.

"why do you think I joined slender's little rebellion I want to get my hands on that bastard and no one will stop me" said ej as he attacked several times.

As rolant and jack clashed, rolant looked into jack's voids when he did he was telling the truth but he had to understand what he must do when the time comes. Jack won the clash as rolant hit the ground ej aimed the tip of the sword at rolants neck making it his win for the day. Jack pulled the tip away and helped up his master and rolant was on his feet he thanked ej only to have jack tell him something.

"i also know that you and lady were trying to get me to understand that when the time comes I do what needs to be done but I'm not doing because of destiny" said jack as he walked away.

As rolant watched him leave lady came out form behind a tree and stood next to him.

"he understand what he must do but it's for him not for destiny or fate" said rolant.

"that I could understand we all must do what we can to stop zalgo from creating another war with humanity" said lady nightmare.

As jack was in his room he was using the shadows to create a statue of zalgo and in rage ej used his sword to cut the head right off as the head landed on the ground ej lifted his left foot and slammed it on the head smashing it to the ground. As jack stood there he swore he would get his revenge against zalgo for what he did to him he will tear down ever single thing that zalgo created.
