3rd person POV
Fall strutted in with her army and they all filed into the big room.
"Funny seeing you here..." Fall began.
"Not really" Mark retorted.
Mark stared daggers at Fall and drew his sword, ready to fight.
"Ooohh! You're ready, are you?" Fall taunted.
"Yeah! I am!" With that, Mark ran at Fall, and the war began. Within seconds, every person was fighting one or more people at once. The room filled with screams, yells for help, the clang of metal, and the sounds and bursts of color from so many people using their powers at once.

Across the room, Cry, a warrior with the power to create metal blocks that he uses to trap others tried to fight off Jes and Peach.
Dan and Phil with the ability to create clones of themselves fight Dark.
A couple feet away, Anti used his invisibility to get up behind a group of warriors unseen and he used his super strength to slam them against the wall or the ground.
There are many other warriors and recruits fighting all over the room. It's chaos.

Now back to Mark.
He is sword fighting with Fall while trying to use his influence on her, but she is unbelievably strong. Every once in a while he can control her for a split second, enough to disarm her for a moment, but after she gets control back, she comes back just as strong or she uses a different power to keep fighting. It seems that every time Mark does get control of Fall for a moment, when she gets it back, she loses one of her powers, getting gradually weaker each time.

Now, you must be wondering what Jack is doing...
He is in the middle of the room, running around to help anyone he can. Once it seems that his team can handle themselves and the ones they are fighting, Jack runs over to Mark. Before he can get to him, Jack sees Fall knock Mark to the ground very violently. It knocks the wind out of him and he looks up at Fall standing above him, terrified. He is panting so loud and hard that he could practically blow the building over.
Jack sprints even faster, arriving at Mark's defense right as Fall stabs him in the ribs.
"NOOOO!" Jack screams so loud that even Fall looks up and wipes the filthy smirk off of her face.
Soon, the smirk returns, though because she briefly reads Jack's mind.
"HA! You loved him!" Fall yelled as if it is something to blackmail Jack with. Fall looks back down at Mark writhing on the floor. She bends down to him, looks Jack straight in the eyes, smirks, and twists the dagger still sticking out of Mark's ribs. His blood pours out even faster, pooling below him.
"STOP!" Jack let's out an even louder crippling scream and jumps over Mark, into Fall. They both roll over the floor and struggle to pin the other. Jack manages to get up, also letting Fall up. Jack noticed that some of his team weren't fighting anyone at the moment, so after glancing over to Fall, he sprinted to Anti.
"Anti, you have to help me!" Jack yelled across the room.
"Okay, I'm coming" Anti yelled back.
The two ran back to Fall who had been pursuing in confusion until the other two turned and ran back at her.
"Stall her" Jack said so only Anti could hear and he nodded and tackled her, fighting her with his super strength so she couldn't get to Jack.

Jack ran over to Mark and tried to comfort him. He put one hand under Mark's neck to support it and placed the other on his chest to make sure Mark was still breathing.
"Mark, I'm going to take the dagger out. It will hurt, but once it is out, you have a better chance of survival." Jack said softly to Mark. The injured boy nodded and braced himself for the pain of the retracted dagger.
"We need a healer" Jack said mostly to himself, trying to think about how to stay with Mark and get a healer at the same time.
"I'm a healer, but it's not like I could heal myself" Mark said, wincing when he spoke. "Didn't you get telepathy from that dead warrior the other day?" Mark continued.
"Great idea! Bob is a healer!" Jack exclaimed. He put a finger to his head and tried to communicate with Bob, the advanced healer.
"Bob, Mark needs your help, please" Jack transmitted, and almost immediately saw Bob turn towards them and start sprinting, seeing how bad of a condition Mark was in.
When Bob got to them, Jack told him to heal Mark and make sure he is okay. After Bob nodded in understanding, Jack jumped up and helped Anti fight Fall.

While Bob healed Mark, the Korean boy noticed something strange about the dagger pulled from his chest. When Jack pulled it out, he threw it onto the floor and where it lay, Mark could swear it shimmered purple for a moment like it was magical before going back to it's normal state.
Finally healed, Mark sat up and picked up the knife. As he observed it, he remembered reading about a special dagger back in the room where he found Jack several days ago. If he is correct, it is in fact a magic knife.
And he needs to destroy it...
It is the only way he can get Fall...
To fall...

Beware...

The End Is Near...


Goodbye Fall...
