Chapter 10: The Mind
Several minutes later...
Nathan: "I see the light!"
Jamie: "And I see that you're face painted red within the next five minutes."
The group has finally exited the school and is no facing a ruined building at the edge of town.
Adam: "We're almost at Jien so try to-"
???: "(sighing) Just when my game was getting good."
Jay steps out from behind the building as he shuts off his game.
Cate: "Who're you?"
Jay: "Jay Kros."
Nathan: "Jay? Not Jake?"
Jay draws his daggers.
Jay: "If you think Jake was your worst nightmare..."
His eyes glow purple as two more daggers float beside him.
Jay: "... then you really are clueless."
The others ready their weapons.
Jamie: "So you can have shit float around you? Already a disappointment."
Rocky begins to growl.
Jay: "(in head) I only need to weaken them. Jamie holds some kind of meaning to Jacob, but what could it be?"
Jay notices a faint, golden glow in Jamie's chest.
Jay: "A glow?"
Cate aims her rifle at Jay's head.\
Jay: "I'm already in your heads."
Jay dodges the bullet last second as Rocky and Jamie close in on Jay.
Adam: "We've got you!"
However, Jamie and Rocky only end up hitting each other as Jay is nowhere to be seen.
Nathan: "Where'd he go?!"
Jay stands behind Nathan and Adam as all four daggers each end up in the each of the squad members' backs.
Jay: "You miss me?"
They rip them out and begin to ooze their own blood on the ground.
Cate: "(in pain) He got behind-"
Jay has warped into the middle of the squad members.
Jay: "(sighing) I know what you think and I can move faster than your eyes can keep track of."
Adam: "Teleportation?"
Jay: "Win this man a prize!"
Jay draws his revolver.
Jay: "So how much longer until you've had enough?"
Jamie: "When you're lying on the floor."
Jamie pulls a pin on one of her grenades.
Jay: "You really think that I'll-"
The grenade explodes right in front of Jay.
Nathan: "No way he-"
Jay bashes Nathan in the back of the skull with a single backhand.
Jay: "I'm also in your head."
Nathan falls to his knees.
Cate: "No! Nathan!"
Cate rushes up to Nathan.
Jay: "Are you done yet?"
Adam: "(in head) What kind of people are on my side now?"
Adam puts his weapons away.
Adam: "I'll save my own skin."
Jamie's fire still burns bright with Rocky.
Jamie: "Coward."
Jay points his revolver at Rocky.
Jay: "(sighing) Seriously?"
Jay draws a set of nunchuks as Jamie rushes towards Jay with a kick ready to bash his skull in.
Jamie: "Unlike some people, I actually fight!"
Predictably, Jay teleports behind Jamie and slams her back with the nunchuks and sends her flying into a broken wall as Rocky rushes towards Jay.
Jay: "You've forced my hand."
Jay fires a single bullet into Rocky's side as Jamie watches him fall onto the ground, whimpering.
Jamie: "(pissed) You..."
Jamie gets back on her feet as the golden light forms again.
Jamie: "(pissed) ... no one ever hurts Rocky on my watch!"
Several years ago...
Young Jamie: "Oh no!"
A young Jamie is exploring the woods as she discovers a wolf pup with an injured leg and whimpering next to it's dead mother.
Young Jamie: "You poor thing!"
An older boy with dark blue pants, black hair, red, polo shirt, and brown sneakers catches up with Jamie.
Boy: "This puppy..."
Jamie is beginning to cry.
Boy: "I'll run home and get some rubbing alcohol and bandages. You stay here."
Young Jamie: "(crying) O-Okay brother..."
Her brother rushes back as Jamie rushes towards the puppy.
Young Jamie: "(crying) I won't let you die."
The puppy looks at Jamie with hope in it's eyes.
Present day...
Jamie: "(pissed) You're going to regret that!"
Jamie readies her stance.
Jay: "You know that you can't land an attack on me."
Jay teleports around Jamie as Rocky's whimpers grow louder.
Jamie: "Burning Diamond!"
Her legs make a single, burning, roundhouse kick that slams Jay in the jaw.
Jay: "(in head) Nice one. Guess you really are my equal."
Jay begins teleporting away.
Jamie: "(pissed) You get-"
Jay: "I'd save that mutt's life if I were you."
Jay fades from sight.
Adam: "She really cares for Rocky..."
Jamie rushes up to Rocky.
Jamie: "You bastards want to be useful? Then help me get Rocky someplace safe!"
Nathan: "(dizzy) Yeah, yeah..."
Everyone picks up Rocky and awkwardly shuffle down the path leading towards Jien Outpost...
