"AKARIA!" Emma screamed as she stared in horror at Akaria's limp body on the ground. She lurched forward, obviously intending to go and help her friend, when Keith grabbed her arm to hold her back. She struggled enough that he actually pulled her back against him and wrapped his arm around her, pinning her to his chest. Everyone else stared at Akaria and Johan, jaws agape and their eyes wide. All except for Jaden. Jaden had his eyes locked onto Johan's, waiting for the right moment.

Johan laughed manically as he walked around Akaria's body, nudging her chest with the front of his boot.

"Such a waste. But you left me no other options," he said. He then smirked and brought his leg back, preparing to kick Akaria hard in the chest. A scream tore through Emma's throat as she tried to break away from Keith. But, suddenly, Johan gasped. He staggered back a few feet, his hands flying to grab the sides of his head firmly. Everyone watched him in shock and confusion. Jaden leaned forward more, his eyes narrowing as he focused completely on Johan's eyes. The flickered like a storm, showing his internal battle.

Jesse gasped as he crumpled to the ground. His body was a bloody mess of torn skin and broken bones. His blood trickled out of the corner of his mouth onto the black ground he was lying on in the recesses of his mind. Yubel, looking exactly like Johan, was gasping next to him, his hands braced on his knees.

"Go away! I have this body now! It's mine! You're supposed to be dead!" he yelled, kicking Jesse in the chest forcefully and sending him flying into a mirror. The glass broke against his back, imbedding itself into his already abused flesh. He cried out in pain as he shook from it. He didn't know how he was still alive, how his mind was still active. Even though he didn't know he was a member of the Dark Duel Warriors, he knew that once a person is possessed, their mind is lost forever.

Somehow though, he was still there. Still alive.

But why had Jesse just reawakened? He had no memories of anything until a few seconds ago. What had triggered it?

Lifting his head, struggling more than ever, he stared into a different mirror, one that showed what was happening outside his mind and body. His body was staring down at Akaria's crumbled, bloody, most likely dead body. Rage filled Jesse's body, giving his tired and sore muscles the adrenaline they needed to move.

He wasn't entirely mad that Akaria was possibly dead, that she had been beaten so much. But what infuriated him the most was that she was put into that state by his own hand. Even if he wasn't in control of his body at the time, he did it. And now he was going to destroy Yubel for what she did to one of his closest friends.

Jesse roared as he lunged up from the floor and tackled her into a different mirror. The glass shattered around Johan's body; splinters of it stuck into his back and arms. He howled in pain.

"You're going to regret this, Jesse. I swear it!" he snarled. Jesse growled back at him viciously.

"Not as much as you are!"

No one knew what to do as Johan stood there motionless for a few minutes. Jaden's eyes were locked onto his. Akaria told him he would only have a split second to finish it, to save Jesse from Yubel. He had to wait until Jesse had risen to the surface. That is why Akaria fought Johan, why she allowed him to nearly kill, or actually kill her. Jaden wasn't sure which one was true at this point.

Akaria's plan was to lure Johan to the village, to fight him, and to revive Jesse in his body. Then it was up to Jaden to finish the plan. She said he would know when Jesse was there, when he was ready to take back his body.

And it was then that Jaden saw it.

It was only a brief flicker, but because he was so intently focused on Johan, he saw it. The orange eyes flickered back to emerald green. Jaden smiled and took off toward the frozen Johan.

"Jaden! Get back here!" Aster yelled. Everyone gasped when they saw their brunette friend running toward Johan, everyone calling after him trying to get him to come back. He ignored everyone and continued to run toward Johan. Then he suddenly drew a sword out of nowhere. At least it appeared out of nowhere. No one had noticed the sword tied to Jaden's side. They also didn't realize that the sword was Jesse's.

"Sorry, Jess, but this is for your own good," Jaden whispered. He then stabbed Johan in the side, not enough to cause any serious damage, but enough where Johan could not take it out by thrashing. When the sword plunged into Johan's side, he gasped and his eyes grew wide…and blank.

xXx

Jesse slouched against the only unbroken mirror in his mind. Johan stood in front of him, in bad shape but still looking better than himself.

"Time to finish you off so you shall never bother me again," he said. Jesse looked up, his breathing ragged and his left eye swollen shut. Johan raised his left hand, which was bloody and his nails were long like claws, ready to finish him off. Then, suddenly, a sword appeared in Johan's side. He cried out in pain and dropped his hands to the sword, trying to tear it from his body. "What is this madness!" Jesse turned behind him to see a mob of brown and orange hair in the mirror. He smiled.

"Jaden," he whispered. Johan cried out again. Jesse whirled around in time to see Johan disappearing, turning into a dark mist. Then, suddenly, the mist was gone and Jesse was the only one left inside his mind.

And he couldn't be happier.

xXx

Yubel was suddenly thrown out of Jesse's body, crashing into a building and demolishing it. The orange in Jesse's eyes disappeared and turned back into his beautiful emerald green. He let out a choked sob and sagged against Jaden, his knees giving out on him. Jaden wrapped his arms around him, supporting him.

"Shh, it's going to be okay, Jess. Everything's going to be fine," he repeated in a soothing tone in his ear. Jesse shuddered and clung to Jaden, his hands clinging to the back of Jaden's shirt tightly. Jaden realized he couldn't support Jesse for long so both of them fell to the ground. Jesse's head was pressed into the crook of Jaden's neck as he took deep breaths. Jaden continued to repeat soothing words in Jesse's ear, his hands smoothing his hair and rubbing his back.

Yubel shot up from the ruble and watched the scene in disgust. She would have gone after Jesse again, but his Crystal Katana was still in his side, protecting him with an invisible shield. She growled but soon stopped when she realized that Akaria lay behind Jaden, motionless. She smiled and then disappeared, heading back toward the castle where her brother waited for her.

'At least the Flame Warrior is gone.'

xXx

Yay! Jesse's back and Johan's gone! But is Akaria really dead?
