MCSM: The Champion

Part Eight (End)

Petra's POV

No, no, no. This can't be happening. My best friend. I have to fight my best friend. I widen my eyes in fear, terror, or simply both. Jesse runs at me with her sword drawn. I take out Miss Butter and block her strikes. I can't bear to hurt her, so I just duck and avoid all her attacks. I could feel that she was stronger than me, and that I probably wouldn't do more than a scratch.

I look into her eyes with my sky-blue ones, and I saw a dull, lifeless green color, mixed with a bit of flashing red. I try to reason with her, but she seemed to not listen. She continued to attack me, not caring or noticing my pleas. I couldn't hurt my friend, so I had to dodge. She out sped me though, and caught me off-guard. She sliced at me, just barely missing me.

I cry out her name, but nothing happens. Jack and Nurm are in shock and I could tell that they wanted to help me, but are forced to not. The Admin smiles his evil grin, then snaps his two fingers together. A shock flowed through Jesse, causing her eyes to become a bloody red color, with most of the green washed away. I watch in terror as she came closer and closer, smiling that evil smile. She continued to slash her sword at me, knocking Miss Butter farther away from my reach. I was knocked to the ground, with her sword pointing directly towards me.

I cover my head as I waited for her to finish me off, my eyes betraying me. Tears were running down my face, but I didn't care anymore. My best friend was now a monster, thanks to the stupid Admin, and I was about to be a goner. My tears were hot, running down my cheeks as I watched. I watched Jesse raise the sword over her head, then stopped, her eyes flickering from hints of green and red. She held her head for a few moments and closed her eyes. When she reopened them, they were the emerald-green ones I remember a long time ago.

I looked at her with tears still blazing in my eyes. She knelt down and hugged me tightly, as a sign of sympathy. I hugged her the hardest, knowing that my friend was back. She whispered, "I'm so sorry, Petra, I don't know what came over me."

I nodded, wiping the remaining water left in my eyes and faced the Admin with a furious rage. He was glaring at us, snarling with anger written on his face. I grabbed Miss Butter from the corner and lifted her up, aiming at the Admin.

Jesse also took her iron sword and aimed as well. I could tell that she was annoyed, angry at the man in front of us. I would, too, at a time like this. We pinned the Admin to the wall with our swords, angrily glaring back at the red-haired man in front of us. He smirks at our actions, saying, "Oh, I'll have loads of fun... after all..." He glows and changes into Jesse, with an evil smile still on his face. "Everyone loves Jesse, right?"

My best friend looks shocked at this, and this turned into hatred. We furiously glared at the Admin, but he just said, "Don't worry, I'll take good care of Beacontown," and disappeared before our very eyes. I shouted, "Come back, coward!" Jesse covers my mouth, muffling me, then says, "Petra, he's gone."

"He's gonna cause havoc everywhere!" I say, my eyes flashing with anger. She sadly nods, but her silence helps me calm down. I looked at her, and see that the gauntlet on her wrist was now gone, leaving scars on her hand. She looks at me with sadness. "I'm sorry, Petra, for what happened back there. I couldn't... I wouldn't-" I stop her in mid-sentence. "Shh, it's not your fault, Jesse, it's mine."

"No, I caused it all. That gauntlet back at the 'Heckmouth' thing, going to the Sea Temple, the Icy Palace, and now here. I started it," she says, her voice cracking under the pressure. She looked at me with such sadness, it made me unhappy.

I hug her tightly. "I caused it. I was the one to bring you to that Heckmouth and dragged you to Stella's city. I lied to you and did all that to you. I'm the one who should be saying sorry," I reply, rubbing the corners of my eyes.

Jesse responds by hugging me tightly, then whispers, "Thank you, Petra. I know you'll always be there for me, no matter what. I was teleported to the Admin's world with nothing, everything white. It's all a blur now, and I don't think I want to remember those terrible memories I had..."

I hug her back, which was what I wanted in the first place. I know it sounds weird and everything, but I... really like Jesse. She's smart, brave, and kind to everyone, especially me. She means the world to me, and I'm glad I didn't lose her. I would have never forgiven myself if she was killed or hurt.

I reply, "It's okay, just take a deep breath, Jesse, you can remember all that stuff when we get home." She smiles and leans toward me, her head laying on my shoulder. I smiled at this notion, and let her do so, while stroking her raven black hair out of her face gently.

"Thanks, Petra, you're the best. I knew I can count on you. You're my friend, and I wouldn't let anything happen to you, no matter what." she says with a smile on her face. Her eyes were a brilliant shining green, now that the Admin isn't here. I smile at her comment, laughing as I remember happy memories we had together long before now. She laughs too, which reminds me of a calm, flowing river stream regaining its waters.

I'm happy for both me and Jesse. I really am. I'm glad she's alright and okay. I hugged her tightly in an embrace, laughing to my heart's content. Jack and Nurm smiles, nodding towards each other with a knowing glance. Then, we continue to walk down the hall, to escape this place and to find our way out, hand in hand. Together, this time. Nothing will ever separate us from each other. Nothing.
