*Kyran shakles the wolf off, the bite wound healing. Jas stops the darkness from invading his mind for the time being, but the confusion spell was still in effect as his sight was disoriented. But his hearing picked up the sound of the knife being thrusted at him as he parries it*

::The knife is knocked out of the hag's hand easily and she shrieks in frustration. Realizing she's no match for Jas, she retreats into the shadows, the wolf at her heels. Jas is free to help Lillith fend off Guinevere now::

:Kenny finds himself being stared at by the eyes of Jezebel as he was scared a bit. He knew Jezebel was responsible for what happen to Natalia as he listened to the voice. He then noticed the hand coming out for him and began to move back slowly:
"No......You won't take me, Your wrong, I'm not alone anymore, I have friends, you will not take me like you did to Sorceress"

::Jezebel glowers at him::
What's worse Kenny? Give yourself to me, and I rule this silly little world of yours, or fight Jenova on your own and fail. Then this world you claim to love so much won't even exist.
::She reaches for him again::
They'll all be dead. Jas, Eva, Dante, Rainii, Iole, even pretty little Lillith over there.

"NO!!!!!! Leave My friends alone" :He stumbles back as the hand reaches out for him again but he refuses to give in to Jezebel: "I'm not letting you harm my friends, Especially Lillith, YOU WILL NOT TAKE THIS WORLD!!!!!"

::Jezebel laughs at his childish outburst::
So brave, so stubborn, that's what she liked about you. Silly silly little boy. What do I gain with everyone's death? I need misery and despair of others to be made strong again. With everyone gone, I couldn't have that now could I. It is not I who wishes for the death of this world. It's Jenova. The calamity wants nothing but the end of everything. Now I ask you, which is worse, domination or destruction? Think of your friends Kenny. Think about your little sister. Think about the one you love.
::She reaches further out of the shadows, the flesh of her hand is visible again::
Take my hand.

:Kenny sees the hand as he got up and is now very mad as he hears Jezebel laughing at him: "Are you stubborn to hear my answer" :He turns around away from the hand as he walks: "It's........No!!!!! I love Lillith and I'm not gonna betray her, Iole or my friends."

::Jezebel glares at Kenny and he can feel her burning eyes like they're boring holes into his back::
What of Natalia? She placed trust in you. She trusted you to look after her friends when she was gone. Jenova is stronger than you and you know it. They will die, and then your promise will be broken.
::She looks back down at Neiro and grins. She waves her hand over him and he awakens, once again reaching for her. Jezebel sees Kenny attempting to stop him::
Guinevere
::Gwen turns for an instant to stop Kenny. The snake spirits on her left arm detach and launch themselves at him, worming their way in and out of him. It feels like his insides are burning and he finds that he has no control of his limbs. His arms and legs thrash wildly and his sword slides uselessly away from him. She launches the other four at Lillith, but she's pushed out of harm's way by Kyran. The tiger takes the spell for her and finds herself just as defenseless against Guinevere's magic. Meanwhile, Jas appears to be regaining his footing. Jezebel's eyes flicker for a moment towards him::
Come on Neiro. Just a little further.
::Lillith caught the eye movement and gets an idea when she notices the new form of Jas' sword::
Didn't Natalia give that to you?
::She looks back at the shadowy goddess and finds that what she saw was not her imagination::
I think she's afraid of that sword. I'll distract Gwen. Take her out.
::Guinevere raises her hand again, launching a ray of crimson fire just as Lillith sends a blast of lightning at her. The two magical attacks collide in the air, breaking off in all directions. Stray magic starts ripping the chamber apart::

:Kenny experiences the snake spirits going in him as his legs and arms begin to move rapidly out of control as he went on the ground screaming in pain as it was burning inside.:
"Lillith..........h h help..........."

::Kenny's screams distract Lillith and her spell gives way for a moment. But she's not the only one who's lost focus. Guinevere is also staring at him, and her expression wavers on indecision. She doesn't know what to do. Lillith pulls her left hand away from her spell and fires a small lightning dart. It tears into Guinevere's side through her dress and grazes her pale skin. Gwen's spell is thrown back by Lillith's and the pale witch is thrown against the wall. Lillith runs to Kenny's sides as the snakes begin to disappear. Gwen gets to her feet and nurses the minor wound in her side, but she doesn't make a single move, her hazel eyes intent on the two of them::

Get off of him!
::Lillith drops to her knees at Kenny's side and swipes at the snakes, but to know avail. Her hand simply passes right through them. But they're gradually fading and the burning inside of Kenny starts to lesses by small degrees. Lillith just hangs onto him. Guinevere's eyes remain glued to them and she still has not moved::
Kenny wake up. Wake up. Please be alright.

:Kenny is starting to slowly recover as the burning is stopping as he sees Lillith and begins to smile though he was hurt.:
"Tried....to stop Neiro....Jezebel.....No he's back on must stop him" :He tries to get up but was a bit shaky from the snakes:

Neiro looked behind him at Kenny and Lillith. Kenny was suffering yet he was still trying to stop him from making a wrong decision.
"..They are...strong..."
He began to re-think his decision and moved his hand back to his chest as he rubbed it with the other.
" Maybe their...is a small...chance that we can defeat...Jenova....and my brother....."
He stood up and stepped back a bit looking back at Jezebel.
" Your wrong! My brother trusted these people..They are his friends...They will be able to help me get him back!"
He drew his sword and looked to Jezebel again.
" Evil cannot defeat evil....I was foolish to even think that was possible..."

*Jas's vision finally clears as Kyran takes the blow meant for Lillith* Kyran!
[glow=white,2,300]Don't worry about me Jas. You got other matters to deal with.[/glow]
*Jas looks to Lillith as she noticed his blade*
Didn't Natalia give that to you?
*Jas nods* "She did, it was inside Gwen last time we encountered her. My sword obsorbed it when I 'killed' her last time."
I think she's afraid of that sword. I'll distract Gwen. Take her out.
*Jas nods before charging towards the shadow, sword poised to strike where the heart would be located.* "You will not be taking anyone!" *The sword pierces the shadow, but Jas feels another struggle within his mind, but this time the darkness is more profound when he a hairs breath close to the shadow. Now the shadow sees what Jas has seen, his races devistation by Jenova and humanity, the loss of his closet friends and lover by a madman, his thirst for vengence. Although he forgone his vengence, she could still see it inside of him, not only on the madman, but the begining of misguided hatred for humanity for allowing it to happen*
[glow=red,2,300]Give it up Jas. No matter how hard you try, you can never rid yourself of me. I am you, I am your hatred, I am your vengence. I am you shadow![/glow]
No! I will not allow you to dictate my life.

::The shadow smiles at Jas as he plunges the blade into the darkness that makes up her body::
There is much darkness in your heart, Jas. And sadness. Your kind suffered greatly and the one who did it deserves to pay. I can give that to you. Come on. Whatever your heart desires.
::The darkness starts to slide along his blade and begins to wrap itself around his hands::
Embrace me Jas. You can't fight the hatred in your heart for long.
::To Jas it suddenly becomes very clear how Natalia had given herself to such a being::

*For a moment, Jas's control faulters as he listens to her words. The grip he has on the blade starts to loosen*
Yes, I should give in. I need power, I need to have my vengence.
*However, his right hand covers itself in a white glow, fighting off the darkness*[glow=blue,2,300]Master, ask yourself this: Is gaining vengence worth turning your back on others who care about you now?[/glow]
*Jas realizes what choice he was about to make and pushed the blade deeper into the shadow, the light filling the blade* [glow=red,2,300]No! What are you doing?![/glow]
Doing what I belive is right Darkside!
"No deal! I don't want, or need your 'help'!"
[glow=red,2,300]No matter Jas, I'll gain control over you, its all a matter of time. And when I do, I'll show you what the power its offering can truely do![/glow]
I'll make sure that never happens, and until then...
*Jas extends his right hand out as a blade is formed. He decapitates the shadow's head with one swing*

::The shadow itself stays whole, but the woman inside it gasps as the light from Jas' blade and the wound in her neck starts to spread. With one final unearthly scream, Jezebel's shadows separate in an explosion of light. Guinevere's attention is finally called back and her confusion is replaced by fury. A spell starts to charge on her palm as she presses it against the wall. She blasts through it and when the dust clears, she's gone. But it's very unlikely that they have seen the last of her::

Neiro looked to the others apologetically.
" I..I'm sorry..It just seemed so hopeless...and the only way to go at the time..."
He looked at the ground briefly before looking up again.
" But now I realize..That I was wrong...You...the friends of my brother...I know that you will be able to do this...You can save him...and this world...and I plan on helping no matter what..."

::Lillith lets Kenny down gently as it appears that he's passed out. She walks over to where Neiro is and just stares at him for a moment with those cat like eyes. Then without warning she slaps him across the face::
Do you have any idea what you almost did? That thing that you were trying to call back was the cause of the second sorceress war. She's the one that turned Natalia, and then forced her best friend to kill her. And that woman? Did you even bother to ask her name? If you had you would have known what you were dealing with right away! She was Guinevere. The eldest and worst of the Coven.
::She seems to have calmed down some now. She raises her arms, and though it appears she's going to strike again, instead she puts her arms around him and whispers in his ear::
Alright. I'm done yelling at you. I know how easy it is sometimes to be tricked. And how when the right way doesn't seem to be working, you can get very desperate. My days in The Coven are proof of that. And I too have lost a sister. So believe me, I know what you're going through, and I promise we will get your brother back.

*Without Jezebel's presence, his blade returns to normal as he falls to his knees, sweat coming off his forehead* (I was almost that close to betraying everyone) he thought. *He looks to his blade* (I think I now understand what her 'gift' was, but why entrust that power to me?) *Looks to Kyran, who weakly stands after that attack*
You alright Kyran?
[glow=white,2,300]I'll recover. And what happened there? You almost gave in to her.[/glow]
You don't think I don't know that?
[glow=white,2,300]Sorry, when I get injuried I tend to get a little cranky. But who was that, it couldn't of been Tyr.[/glow]
No. She was a Freya goddess named Jezebel.
[glow=white,2,300]That would explain somethings. But Jas, don't heisitate to summon me ever again. Remember, the more you try to forget your past, the more it'll stay with you. espically the more painful memories.[/glow]
*Kyran dissapears in a burst of white light as Jas looks to the blade in his right hand as it sinks back into him*
Azurewrath...
