Screams of terror awoke Jesse the next morning. On pure instinct, he shot to his feet. Everyone around him was rocketing awake. His team was on their feet in an instant once they saw their captain had arisen.

"What is it?" Justin asked. Jesse shook his head.

"I don't know. Let's go see." With that, Jesse ran out of the room he and his friends had slept in. Everyone was at his heels. Once outside, they were met with chaos. The villagers were running around frantically. Jesse caught a young, terrified woman by the arm. "Miss, what's wrong?" She stared at Jesse in utter fright.

"The Barrier Charm! It was destroyed last night! Now we have no protection and Yubel is on her way here!" she answered her fright very true in her voice. Jesse's eyes grew wide as everyone behind him gasped. He let his hand fall from the woman's arm, allowing her to run away. Jesse, without looking, reached behind him and grabbed Jaden's hand. He pulled him forward.

"Stay with me, Jay." Jaden nodded.

"We gonna kick some ass?" Justin asked, smiling. Syrus looked at him.

"Do you think you can protect the entire village?" he asked. Justin opened his mouth but shut it quickly.

"Time for you guys to protect yourselves," Jesse said, looking at the gang. "We have to watch out for ourselves and the villagers. You guys protect yourselves." Everyone looked at each other, afraid, but nodded. Jesse was right; they had to take care of themselves now.

"Young ones! You must flee!" the village elder cried as he ran toward them. Jesse looked at him.

"No, we'll stay and protect you. It is our fault that Yubel is coming." The elder shook his head.

"You can't protect the village. We are running to our sister village nearby. Without the Barrier Charm, we have no protection so we must flee."

Do you really think you all can make it that far? Yubel asked. Everyone turned quickly to see the Demon Angel sitting on an overturned wooden cart. The elder sucked in a terrified breath. Jesse's eyes narrowed at her. His hand slipped out of Jaden's.

"Jim, keep an eye on Jaden," he said. Jim nodded and pulled Jaden back.

"You got it, mate."Jaden's head whipped between his two foreigner friends.

"What?" he said. No one answered or spoke up as Jesse walked away from his team and friends, moving closer to Yubel.

"What are you doing here, Yubel? And why are you alone?" Jesse asked, casting a quick glance around the village. There were no other monsters there, only Yubel. Yubel smiled at him.

I'm here just to retrieve someone. I didn't need any help, so I left the army back at the castle. But, I'm sure there are other monsters close by, just waiting for the chance to attack some villagers, Yubel said with a smirk. Jesse tensed and turned to look at the gang.

"I lied, go help the villagers," he said. Everyone looked at each other. Keith took Chazz and Axel's arms.

"Come, I'll assist you," Keith said. Chazz and Axel quickly jerked their arms away from Keith's but followed after him. Aster and Hassleberry followed after the three of them, leaving Alexis, Syrus, Blair, Jim, Jaden, Emma, and Justin behind.

It matters not. I honestly could care less about these puny villagers. I care about only one person. Jesse gripped his sword tightly.

"You're not getting Jaden," he snarled. Yubel smirked evilly at Jesse. She stood up, kicking the overturned wagon back so it slammed against the building and shattered.

We'll see about that. Without a word, Yubel launched herself at Jesse. Quickly, Jesse drew his sword out, bracing the steel against his hand so he was able to catch Yubel and fling her away from him. She quickly regained herself. She crossed her arms across her chest, her nails extending like talons. Quick as lightning, Yubel launched herself at Jesse again, her arm extended out, ready to slash at him.

"Jesse!" Jaden yelled, taking a step forward only to be pulled back by Jim.

"Stay back, mate!" Jim said.

Jesse reacted fast. He flipped out of the way, landing in a crouch five feet away from where Yubel's claws got stuck in the ground.

"You're going to have to be faster than that, Yubel," Jesse said. Yubel smirked at him and withdrew her hand from the earth.

With pleasure.

Faster than anyone could keep up with, Yubel and Jesse continued to fight. Jesse always seeming to have the upper hand. But how long would he have it?

"How are we going to move her?" a village lady asked the elder. He looked down at Akaria, who remained unconscious.

"I do not know, but we have to find a way. She is not safe here," he said. The lady nodded and kneeled down next to Akaria, whipping a wet cloth across her brow. Akaria's eyes suddenly snapped open. The lady shrieked, her nerves shot, and fell back. The elder spun around in surprise. Akaria was already rising.

"You can't move. You're not well," he said, grabbing Akaria's upper arm to try and hold her back. His skin sizzled and his cried in pain as he withdrew his hand quickly. Akaria was panting and her skin was flush with heat, even more than she already had.

"Don't try and stop me, pops," Akaria said hoarsely. The elder and woman stared at Akaria in shock as she staggered out of the room, making sure to grab her sword.

Akaria stood, bracing her hand on the doorframe, looking out with wide eyes. Jesse grabbed Yubel's hands, which no longer possessed talon-like nails, and spun her around so she crashed into a building. This caused the building to buckle and crumble on top of her. It wasn't even a second before Yubel was shooting out of the ruble, scattering debris everywhere and filling the air with a fine cloud of dust.

Yubel launched herself at Jesse once again. He drew his sword out and was able to keep her at bay once again.

"Jesse! The villagers are safe," Hassleberry yelled as he, Keith, Chazz, Axel, and Aster ran back toward the gang. Jesse nodded at him, grunting as he caught Yubel again, just before she would have caught him in the chest.

"Nice work, Hassleberry," he said. Akaria shook her head. She was still unnoticed, leaning in the doorframe until…

"Whoa! Akaria! About time you woke up!" Justin yelled. Everyone whirled to see Akaria. Jesse spun around, despite being in a fight for his life. He only looked for a split second, but it was long enough for Yubel to make her final move.

Got you, she hissed. Jesse turned his head back around just in time to see Yubel knocking his blade out of his hand so it skidded to Akaria's feet. She gasped and looked up.

"No!" she cried, one second before Yubel launched her hand into Jesse's upper peck.

To his heart.

Jesse gasped and Yubel smirked.

Posesión! (Possession!) Yubel yelled in Spanish. Suddenly, her fingers retracted around Jesse's heart and she turned into a fine dark mist. The mist began to swirl around Jesse.

"Jesse!" everyone screamed. Jesse's pupils retracted till they were fine dots in his eyes. His hands reached to hold his heart as his knees gave out beneath him. His screams of pure agony filled the air.

"Jesse, no!" Jaden yelled. Akaria's face paled as she fell to her knees as well.

"No…no…this can't be happening." She looked up at Jesse's shaking frame as he continued to scream in pure agony. "He can't go…not Jesse…not now," she whispered. Akaria lowered her head just so her bangs shielded her eyes. They locked onto Jesse's sword as it shone underneath her face. Akaria closed her eyes tightly and clenched her hands. "We're in some deep trouble now."

xXx
