The Kill
Authors note.
Ok. I hope you all liked the last chapter, and I’m glad you’re coming back to read the next one.(yay). Anyway I decided I’d just get right on to the final battle as I figured that I could miss out the bit when Jack sees Lili through the door as its not vital to the plot line, and I cant wait to not have to write bits from the film anymore. Lol.
So read and (hopefully) enjoy!
Chapter two.
The kill.
A low commanding voice could be heard.
"In the beginning there was nothing. A void of darkness a cold eternity of silence!"
Darkness’ voice reverberated through the chamber.
**************
"Jack your greatest challenge is still to come, and we’ve not much time!" Gump showed Jack a small ball like object with air bubbles quickly rising to the surface.
Jack quickly began placing the final huge plate in the niche opposite the large black doors to the sacrificial chamber before them.
**************
"When the perfect void was corrupted by light, a great wailing was heard and all the brethren fled in terror!"
Darkness’ voice was filled with fury and hate as he said these words.
**************
Jack finally managed to fit the plate in the correct position and immediately shouted "Gump!"
Gump holding his bow securely shouted to Oona looking up into her flying form "Oona. Fly up like the wind. It’s time!"
Oona immediately sped away from the party to reach Screwball and place the first plate into position to bring the light from the outside world to the chamber below the Dark Tree.
The huge doors to the sacrificial chamber suddenly began to close.
"Jack" Was Gumps only word.
Jack quickly rose from his position and took one last look at the plate before he ran into the chamber to fight his final battle.
The doors closed loudly behind him.
Jack and Gump quickly climbed up a pile of long forgotten bones and swords, to a position in which they could easily see the goings on at the bottom of the chamber.
The unicorn was being held in chains by Darkness’ minions in obvious terror, it kept rearing on its hind legs trying to escape the death it could sense coming.
Jack looked down upon the satanic mass before him.
He saw Darkness reveling in his power, he saw the unicorn fighting desperately for her life whilst being held by nearly seven minions, and to the side of Darkness he saw a girl, no a woman, dressed in a black dress which barely concealed her childlike breasts.
A sudden and powerful feeling of familiarity washed over him.
He was staggered for a moment.
*******************
Oona was flying toward Screwball when she felt her magic shift.
"No! No!" She paused and quickly focused her attention on Jack forcing more of her power into his heart.
She felt the magic regain it’s hold and without hesitation began flying toward Screwball once again.
*******************
Gump watched Jack as he looked upon Lili for the first time since his bewitchment.
He saw the look of slight recognition pass Jack’s features, but to his dismay felt the surge of magic flow into him and a look of disgust replace the one before it.
"Judge her with your heart. Not your eyes."
He knew it was futile to try to bring Jack out of his bewitchment, only Oona could do that and he did not think she had any intention of doing so for some time.
Hopefully not too much damage would have occurred before then.
"My heart? How can I when I know nothing except that she is Darkness’ Queen?She must be weak indeed to fall into the arms of such a monster!"
Jack’s voice was filled with rage at his final words.
Gump just looked on in pity.
*************
Darkness bellowed into the dark chamber "Hear me yee powers of the night! We offer this sacrifice in honor of you!"
He looked around at his minions a triumphant smile playing on his lips. "Sanctified with blood…..And with fire!"
The unicorn mare became even more erratic at these words, flaying wildly looking for a means of escape.
"I pray you father. Accept my sacrifice. Let life be forever extinguished! Let the age of darkness begin."
Darkness looked down to Lili with the sword in her hand ready to kill the unicorn.
"Come lady the birth of a New World awaits your stroke."
Lili did not look up at him.
"Let my offering be made of flesh and blood."
She began to raise the sword high above her head.
"I am sister to the fates."
The unicorn’s head was pulled down level with her blade so as to make it easier for her to strike a deadly blow.
*******************
Jack had an arrow ready in his bow; he took one look at the girl aiming for her heart.
The best he could do for her was to kill her quickly.
He paused; something inside him was trying to stop him from releasing the arrow. He shifted his aim to Darkness, then back to the girl.
He saw her begin to lower the sword towards the unicorn and let his arrow fly.
Too late did he see her break the chain holding the unicorn with her sword and scream for it to run.
*************************
Lili let the sword fall onto the chain the force of her strength and the sharpness being enough to break one of the links and free the unicorn.
She dropped the sword and felt a pain shoot through her body.
She looked down to see an arrow protruding from her chest.
She chanced a quick glance in the direction it came, already knowing what she would see but hoping that she could be wrong.
Her eyes met Jack’s for only a moment, but it was enough. What she saw there was soul destroying. There was no look of love, as she expected. Not even a look of sorrow, but a look of indifferent pity.
She quickly turned her eyes away to look at Darkness, fearing the anger she knew he would have.
***********************
Darkness stood there frozen to the spot, the unicorn long forgotten.
Yes he was seething that she would betray him, but he would have forgiven her.
Then this, that her love supposed true love would kill her was reason enough to forgive.
He looked at the boy and was amazed at the look he had upon his face. He looked down at his lady only to see her already looking at him, tears streaming down her face her heart broken twice.
By arrow and by Jack.
"I’m sorry" Her quiet words echoed in his mind as he watched her small frame slowly fall to the floor.
******************************
Jack grabbed a chain and jumped down to meet Darkness and face his final battle.
Authors note.
Ok. So no more bits from the movie. Now we can really get into the story.
By the way I know that the only reason Jack thought up the plan about the plates was through Lili’s influence and memory, so let us just pretend that Gump came up with it instead. Lol.
I will not be describing the final battle in much detail, more like the aftermath so that there wont be too many spoilers if you haven’t seen the film.
Anyway please review. See you all soon!
