The Evil Within

Liberation

It didn't take long for Stephanie to recover from her wounds, and as soon as the left the auditorium, they saw Jack, standing in the main lobby, awaiting them. Sara and the others quickly rushed over to confront him.

"Jack. Listen to me." Sara said as Jack was surrounded by his familiar red aura.

"All ears. My mind has been cleared up, so shoot." Jack replied.

"I'm your sister Jack. I'm the one that took you in when you were about to greet death." Sara pleaded. "Won't you please just return to me?"

"I miss you Jack. Please, just end this, and we can all be happy." Stephanie begged, but it was no use. Jack did not materialize anything, but shot his crimson energy off to the side, striking the wall with little to no ill effect.

"Oh please. You just killed my girlfriend. How could I ever forgive you?" Jack laughed. "If you think that doing that will make me accept your apology, then you're dead wrong my sister."

"Looks like we're doing this the hard way then!" Sara shouted as she and the others prepared to charge!

"Come at me!" Jack shouted as he swung his arm, firing an energy wave at the trio! Sara and the others quickly dodged before striking at Jack! Sara, Stephanie and JaCorey struck with all their might, but their hits were still doing little damage to Jack, if any, and he simply fired off crimson blasts, sending them into the walls!

"I thought that killing the girls would weaken him!" JaCorey shouted.

"Guess that didn't work. How are we going to hurt him?" Stephanie asked. Her question was answered when Jack fired off another green wave, and Sara batted it towards Jack. Unable to react in time, he was struck by his own wave, and faceplanted on the ground! His aura temporarily vanished, and Stephanie used this opportunity to start beating down Jack! A few hits later, the aura re-surrounded Jack and he forced Stephanie away with another wave! Firing off two crimson blasts at Sara and Stephanie and a wave at JaCorey, the three struck all of these, and rebounded them towards Jack! Once again, he failed to dodge, and was sent flying! He landed on the stairs with a resounding thud, making Sara cringe.

"How did he survive that?!" Sara asked, shocked at the pain Jack just brushed off. He then began floating like Cheyenne did, and air-dashed to the second floor with Sara and the others in hot pursuit!

"Running won't solve anything!" Sara screamed before she threw her pipe. Picking the worst time to turn around and taunt, Jack was hit dead in the crown jewels, and he fell to the ground in agony.

"Oh that hurt so bad! Ow!" Jack struggled to say before he shrugged it off. Taking one more hit to the face from Stephanie, he forced all three back with a shockwave before doing something akin to going super saiyan as his red aura turned black, and his eyes gained yellow pupils and red irises, giving him the apparency of demonic possession! "How's this for power?"

"You got nothing on us!" JaCorey shouted as he and Stephanie threw their pipes! Striking Jack in both eyes, it did little to nothing to Jack as he proceeded to break all of their pipes, and fire black blasts of energy, knocking out JaCorey and Stephanie!

"HA HA HA HA! You were saying, losers?" Jack evilly laughed. "And you're all alone! What is a lone soul to do?"

"Why, stand strong and never give up, that's what!!!" Sara yelled before charging at Jack with the spirit of an amazon warrior! She pounced like a tiger and latched on to Jack, clawing at his face. He simply threw Sara off before throwing off a now red energy wave, hitting Sara and leaving her bloodied!

"Looks like it's the end of the line for you!" Jack cackled.

"...No it is NOT!" Sara shouted as she struggled to get back up. Soon, a white aura surrounded Sara, and she charged at Jack once again with renewed strength. The punches she threw managed to make Jack flinch with every hit, and she didn't let down until she managed to knee Jack in the crown jewels once again, bringing him to the ground. From her aura, she materialized a katana, and hacked away at Jack before leaping back, having weakened him!

"Gah... What is this power?!" Jack struggled to say as he tried to stay standing.

"Nothing you don't need to know, bitch!" Sara shouted. "LIGHTNING FURY!"

"WHAT?!" Jack shouted, and unable to react fast enough, Sara charged, and hit Jack with a fury of electric-charged slashes before leaping back. She charged at Jack one last time, slashing straight through Jack with a clap of thunder accompanying the final blow! Jack's black aura began sparking before a series of explosions erupted around Jack! A great white flash blinded Sara as she heard Jack scream in pain.
