The first thing I heard when I woke up were explosions and screaming.

"JACK! JACK GOD DAMN IT WAKE UP!" Mark's voice echoes throughout my entire brain. I open my eyes slightly, only to be blinded by bright lights. "Jack, damn you! You better not be fucking dead!"

"Hmfh?" I mutter something incoherently. There was a loud boom next to me. Shattered remains of rock rain down on me causing me to wince and sit up.

"Jack we need to go! Like right now!! The others are waiting!!" Mark yells, yanking me to my feet and dragging me along. This was the first time that I could actually get a good look at my surroundings. And it was terrible.

It was like the world itself was eating itself alive. Trees were falling down at random, stuff just burst into flames for no apparent reason, it was just chaos all the way around no matter where you looked.

Jack, you need to hurry! I practically could hear Anti screaming at me. The only problem was, Mark wouldn't let go of me.

"Mark!" I scream over the now roaring wind. Lightning flashes throughout the entire sky as a tree came crashing down in front of us. "You need to let go of my wrist! Like right now!"

"No!" He screams back, gripping my wrist even tighter. That's when I grew frustrated with him and stopped all of a sudden causing him to stumble but not enough to make him fall. "Jack stop fucking around and come on!"

"Mark, you honestly need to shut up and listen to me for once!" Despite the fact that it started to downpour on us, he didn't utter a word. "I need you to trust me Mark. Do you trust me?"

"I-"

"Mark, we don't have a lot of time here. I need to know, do you trust me?" I could see tears well up in his eyes. He must've known where this was going.

"Yes, I do but I-"

"Then I need you to get the others to safety," I repeat the words Anti said to me. "Somewhere like a small cave or den. Do not be out in the open. And for the love of God, do NOT come looking for me. Mark I have to do this and you need to understand."

"Jack, I-"

"Please Mark... I have to this," I whispered, and was pretty sure that he couldn't have heard a single word that I had said. But surprisingly, he did.

"Jack..." He says quietly, a tear runs down his cheek. "Please don't do it. If it involves you dying then don't. I can't lose you Jack! I just fucking can't!" He wails over the roaring rain. The rain pelts down harder, feeling like needles against my skin.

"Mark," I smile sadly. "You won't lose me, I promise. We'll see each other on the other side." And with that said, I took a step breath, feeling something familiar yet sinister stir inside of me. I close my eyes and let that feeling wash over me.

We don't have enough time for this Jack. I heard Anti faintly whisper. I smiles a little, feeling a tear run down my cheek.

I know. And I opened my eyes. Mark gasped, wiping a strand of now wet, dark red hair out of his face.

You'll never make it in time in this form, so I'll help you out.

"Oh my God, Jack your eyes!" He says. Everything looked ten thousand times sharper. "They're a grayish red.."  and that was the last thing I heard from him because I turned around and was gone in an instant.

~~~

Tears well up in my eyes as I approached the area where Alexa and Vinny used to love to come to. The rose bush. I smile bitter-sweet at the memories that flooded through my mind. This use to be their happiness and now it was a vital part in destroying this game for good.

"What in the hell do you think you're doing?" A very familiar voice growls. I freeze and turn around slowly. It was no one other than Mr. Howell. I stood back in shock.

"But I thought-"

"Ah," he says, taking in my appearance that wretched demon must've gave you his powers. So silly of him, especially when it slowly kills him."

Wait.. What?! My heart drops. Anti gave me his powers and now he's going to die because of it?

That's how things work Jack.  Anti says weakly. Once a demon gives up his or hers powers to the host that they are staying in, they eventually fade away.

But why did you do it Anti!? Another tear snakes it's way down my cheek.

Because Jack.. he says weakly. You're our only hope now. This world is ugly but your soul is beautiful to me. And it's too beautiful for this world as well. That's why they're trying to destroy you.

"Ahaha.. So I see that came as a shock for you. The damn demon didn't tell you. How disgusting." He curls his lip up in disgust. "Demons, they're very pitiful creatures- stealing souls and shit."

Jack, Anti warns. That's not your friend. It's just an illusion to trick you. To cover up his true identity. Focus. Use your sight. Demons have the ability to see through magic like this. Focus on one part of it's body.

Confused and completely ignoring whatever the imposter was saying, I focused my vision on a small, dark red, heart shaped pendant that was similar to the one Anti gave me. And Anti was right, as soon as I was focused on the pendant, it was like paint being rinsed out of a paintbrush. Like its disguise was peeled off of its skin.

"Oh my God..." I breathed out in disbelief.

That's impossible... I thought he was dead!!

"Oh.." the thing says, its flaming orange eyes sparkling a bit while its purple hair is matted down by the down pour. "I see you've managed to see through my disguise... Darn and I was having so much fun too."

"But you were dead! Cry killed you!" I scream over the wind. He smirks.

"So you all thought. Here let me properly introduce myself." He sheds the image of Mr. Howell that he was trying to pretend to be as both Anti and I stare dumbfounded at him. "My name is Utio, the Queen's loyal assassin and also the guardian of this game. You will not destroy this game, so prepare to die Jacksepticeye. For good."

Okaay I lied. There's actually going to be 1 more Chapter if not 2, because in all honesty I don't want this series to end yet lol. I have a lot of fun writing it but all good things have to come to an end. And I'm sorry if this chapter made no sense... I tried lol.

See you all in the next chapter!!
