season 1 episode22: losing a friend

as the days become weeks and the weeks become months jack had become a great sword fighter thanks to rolants training jack was able to fight with a sword like a true warrior as rolant would put it.

"you did great today jack you finally beat your own master at his own game" said rolant as he padded jacks back like a friend would.

"that's because you trained you were a hell of a teacher" said jack as he lifted up his blue mask to cool off his face.

As rolant and jack got back to the house jack stopped as he could felt a small tug on the back of his mind looking out to the forest he wondered what it was but as he heard the sound of Jeff calling to him jack looked back one more time then went inside. In the tree line there stood sin as he watched his new found enemy sin had both katana at the right for tonight he was going to take jacks head. As the night rolled in ej, jane, and Jeff were playing a game of monopoly but as for ej he wasn't as lucky as he thought as jane was winning the whole game leaving both boy's in the dust as jack rolled again he only got a two as had to pay the boardwalk which made him angry.

"god damn it" said jack as he payed jane the amount in the game.

As the continued on lady nightmare had stepped into the room and saw them playing.

"may I ask what you three doing" asked lady nightmare.

"a game of monopoly and jane over here is kicking our asses" said Jeff as he rolled the dice.

"what is monopoly" asked lady nightmare.

"well it's simple you go around buying property's and gain money when ever some else lands on the spot but we aren't so lucky as jane is gaining more space by the second" said jack as he watched jane roll the dice.

"well may I play then" asked lady nightmare.

"no" said Jeff.
"sure" said jane.
"yes" said jack.

As she sat down she was given a colorful fake money that came with the game and she joined in after an hour of playing Jeff wasn't getting any better but jack was slowly but surely get better as he was catching up to the two girl's in a fit of rage Jeff choose to flip the board and storm off in rage all three confused by that action.

"whats his problem" asked jack as he pointed his thumb at Jeff.

As the things were getting quite jack went up into his room to put away his mask for the night but as he was alone in the room he felt that there was someone in the room with him right now as he looked around he didn't see anyone there. Shrugging his shoulders and opened his bedside table he put the blue mask inside and closed it but as he turned around he was met by a punch when he looked to the attacker what he saw was sin standing there with a angry look.

"sin" said jack with venom in his voice.

"been some time jack after you left me there bleed on the ground like a animal" said sin as he was with with anger at the site of ej.

"yeah I remember kicking your ass and rolant saving you ass" said jack as he charged at sin.

"but this time it will be you who is going to be bleeding like the animal you are" said sin as he grabbed jack and tossed him to thew other side of the room.

Sin then charged towards jack he delivered a few punches to jacks gut then two punches to his face as sin was hitting jack in the face he manged to block the shoots coming towards his face. Sin kept it up until he grabbed jacks hoodie and broke the block sin punched jack a few times in the face then tossed jack straight out of the window in his room. As jack hit the ground as he tried to get up sin landed on his back making him stay down with the wight on his back jack couldn't get up so sin then pulled out the white sword with a black blade and aimed it at the back of jacks head and was about to strike down. As sin was about to stab jack Jeff tackles sin down and tried to pull the sword from sin's hand but sin was able to pull his arm away and smack Jeff away Jeff stumbled a bit as he was about to lunges forward at sin. However sin was much faster then Jeff and was able to take him down with out any problem with Jeff down sin stomped on Jeff's face knocking him out as for ej he was able to get back up and got out his chain as sin looked back towards ej with his sword in hand.

"so you kept your chain" said sin.

"yeah now it's my weapon against you and your god damn leader" said ej as he swings it at sin.

Sin dodged the strike and grabbed the chain pulling jack to sin but jack planted his feet into the ground stopping himself. Sin let go and ej pulled the chain back to him so jack got put his hand gun and fired a few shots at sin but with sins skills with a sword he deflected the bullets away from him. Ej not seeing another way to take on sin he put away his hand gun and got out shadow blade sin saw the sword and was wide eye at the site of the sword that king night mare once used himself.

"well shadow blade had chosen you as its master hasn't it" asked sin as he looked to jack.

"yeah it is and believe me when I say it be a huge help to me ever since I joined slender's little rebel group" said ej as he looked at sin.

Sin then in a blink of an eye was in front of jack swinging his sword at jack head but jack had blocked the strike with shadow blade making it a clash.

"and you learned to use a sword as well" said sin.

"that was because I had a great teacher to help me with that" said jack as he pushed sin away.

Ej walked toward sin and brought down his sword only to have sin block it both men started to have sword battle with sparks flying off the two blade. Sin was trained in swordsmanship through the many years he served zalgo but as for jack he remembered what rolant had teach him as both men were clashing they're sword's blades they had to find a weak point in they're attacks but they never could spot them. As for rolant he was in his room wearing a strange set of armor as lady nightmare entered the room she saw that rolant was looking to his old face mask that he wore a lot back in the days.

"zalgos hound is here rolant" said lady.

"i know" said rolant as he never broke eye contact with his mask.

"are you sure this is what you want to do" asked lady as she looked sad in her eyes.

"yes I've taught him every thing I know, what he dose with that is his choice I hope he will make the right choices in his life and that he will restore the nightmare to it rightful place" said rolant as he placed the mask on his face and walked pasted lady.

Lady with a single tear running down her face as she watched her protector sacrifice himself for her to take back her family's throne and to help jack take on his destiny. Outside both sin and jack were covered in cut with small amounts of blood running from them ej stood up and blended his neck to the left then the right as he looked to sin with an angry look on his face sin tighten his grip on his sword as he looked to jack. The two then in lighting fast speeds charged and when they were in each other face they were swinging the they're swords but at the same time they caught the other sword with they're bare hands.

"your good jack better then I remember" said sin.

"you should see me when I'm trying" said ej as he was smiling at sin comment.

"tell me who taught you to use a sword was it slender man or one of his fool's" asked sin.

"I think I'll keep that one a secret" said jack.

The two pulled away from each other only to look a the person they were fighting as the the two were about to attack the sound of a sword's blade being stabbed into the ground. They looked and there stood rolant in his armor he looked to both men and aimed his sword towards sin to show him he wanted him.

"that's not possible" said sin in a whisper.

"rolant when did you get that armor" asked jack.

"I've had it with me for so long I've been waiting for this moment for a long time, stand down jack I'll take this bastard on myself" said rolant.

Ej back's away as rolant stepped forward with his sword in his right hand. sin got out his second sword that was white with a black blade with both swords out rolant got in to his fighting stands as both men were ready for a fight. Sin charged to rolant but as both blades were about to strike down rolant they were blocked but rolants own sword seeing that rolant was a much larger challenge. Sin started to swing his swords as fast as he could but for every time sin tried to cut down rolant he was blocked by rolants sword after trying over and over rolant had pulled his fist back and delivered a strong punch to sin's stomach forcing him back. As sin recovered from the strike and looked at rolant with rage in his eyes he then charged towards rolant but as he was close enough he had disappeared leaving rolant confused as he looked around only to be slash in the side by sin as he reappeared. Rolant stepped away a few steps as he held his right hand over the cut he then lifted it to see his own blood on his hand then looked back to sin who stood there hold the two swords in his hands.

"so you do have some skills of your own" said rolant.

"I'm the most skilled soldier in zalgo's army as for you, your an old relic of dead king" said sin with pride in his voice.

The two slashed at each other with they're swords making sparks fly from the sword's clashing into each other as sin was taking his times to aim for the right spot and the right time. Once sin saw the chance he took it and thrust one of his sword and the blade had broken through rolants defense and stabbed him right in the heart. As rolant looked to the sword then to sin as he fell to the ground as for jack he yelled no and charged at sin with shadow blade at the ready. As he was close enough he swings at sin's head but he missed at sin disappeared again and left the grounds without anyone knowing where he went. As jack turned to rolant he dropped the shadow blade and save rolant by holding the stabbed wound as rolant was coughing up blood.

"no no no hang in there rolant I'll save I just..." said ej as he was cut off by rolant.

"jack listen to me" said rolant as he held on of ej's shoulder "i know that you don't care what fate want's from you but you must understand that you are the one to bring down zalgo and restore the true ruler of under realm."

as jack heard the words he had understood as he nodded to what rolant had said to him.

"good... that's good to hear, I've taught you everything I know, now you has move forward without me, go forward and forge your path... my, student..." as the last words were spoken rolant had finally died leaving jack there feeling the death of his teacher.

As ej stood up he looked to his teacher as he said thank you in a quiet voice jack then used his shadow powers to create a shove and started to dig up a grave for rolant. After an hour of digging jack was finished placing the body inside the grave and buried rolant as he was about to leave he saw rolant's sword and helmet taking to two ideas he sticked the sword in front of the grave then the helmet was placed on the hilt of the sword. Seeing that he was done ej turned around and left as he knew what he was going to do he was going to tear down everything zalgo from him.
