confrontation

Dante's body was laying on floating piece of land.

He started to think. (How the hell am I thinking? I thought I was dead). He thought to himself.

He could see his mother and father up in the sky.

"You still hate your son now?" Dante said.

Dante could feel a hand, cold as ice. Touching him on the heart area. It was keeping him alive.

Dante looked to his side to see a strange man touching his heart.

Dante could feel the cold from his hands healing him.

"Wh-who are you?" Dante asked.

Dante could feel his body reconnecting itself.

The stranger with the hoodie on started to say something.

"Use your power to reconnect your body. You've been doing it this whole time….Dante. Which means that Udo was wrong. You can make your illusion into reality." The stranger said.

Dante's eyes looked in horror.

"Wait I know you. Why the hell are you- forgive me for losing sir." Dante said.

The stranger let out a little laugh. Then he removed his hand from Dante's chest.

Dante could see his dark powers in the real world forming his body back together.

His stomach was deformed and looked bigger than usual, it was very muscular now.

The stranger got up and was now dreaded to the woods.

"Sir, When are you gonna make your move?" Dante asked.

The stranger still had on the hoodie on and stopped dead in his tracks.

"When the one that's special comes, with the one that powers rival mine in battle." The stranger said.

Dante looked in confusion.

"I merely used my ice to bring your heart back pumping. After that your powers did all the rest."

"Dante….your parents were wrong about you this whole time it seems. You made the right choice following us." The stranger said.

"You can fall back with me for now. We need to do something about that stomach of yours after all." The stranger said.

Dante said nothing and jumped off with the stranger from the floating platform. And headed into the forest.

"What about Jade?" Dante asked.

"She'll be fine…..she is the second strongest out of this section of the group anyways." The stranger said.

They both disappeared into the woods.

Back at the clan Xavier was shooting his arrows at Jade. None of them hit.

They just went around her.

Jade used some of the trees in the surrounding area and made them into needles.

Another wave of them came. It shattered the front of the village into pieces.

Xavier was under the rubble inside of a building.

"If only…I could build up enough energy to make it hit this bitch." Xavier said.

"All the kids you've made us kill…. You need to die."

Xavier put a arrow on the string of the bow. And he pulled it back hard as ever.

"Hidden troop technique: Infinity Hit." Xavier said.

Jade could hear him speaking and looked down.

"Oops,Left one." She said.

"Excuse me weakling. But where are the rest of the citizens? Don't try anything stupid with that bow. It's not gonna hit me." Jade said.

Xavier had his blue aura around he bow now.

"We will see about that. This ain't a normal arrow you dumb ass." He said.

He shot the arrow. It was headed straight for Jade.

The impact of him releasing it was so strong that it was a shockwave.

Wind blew aggressively.

Jade just looked at the bow as it was coming closer and closer.

Jade eyes looked in shock as she could see it piercing through her energy field.

She quickly dodged it by moving her head to the side.

"Well then…there's another that can break through it." Jade said.

(It's not over yet. The bow….won't stop until it kills you), Xavier thought to himself.

Jade could here whistling coming from behind her.

She turned around to see the arrow coming right back.

She lifted her hand in the air and squeezed her fist.

The arrow started to crumble away from existence.

Jade laughed a little bit and turned around to see 12 arrows now.

She jumped off her floating plate form and started to run around while heading towards Xavier.

Xavier couldn't move in the state he was in. When he activates his power he is stationary.

He was controlling the arrows with his hands.

Jade was dodging and dodging.

She hit the ground and started to run right at Xavier.

Xavier refuses to stop. He kept on sitting there controlling the arrows.

"There's no way you wanna get hit also. Cmon and move your body boy." Jade yelled out.

Xavier didn't move.

Jade turned around to see the arrows eighth on her tail.

She smiled and was headed straight for Xavier.

When she reached him she jumped behind him and out her hands around his neck.

Xavier just looked. He could see what looked to be claws over Jade's nails.

It was some weird gadget.

The arrows stopped and surrounded Jade and Xavier.

"What will you do?, you know you don't have the guts to let them go." Jade said.

"Honestly…how dumb can you be?" Xavier said.

Jade was getting ready to rip Xavier's throat apart.

But then. A shadow appeared. It was a tiny little shadow.

Jade looked up to see another arrow coming from above.

She moved her hands away from Xavier's throat and squeezed her hands together again.

As soon as she let go Xavier let go control of all the arrows. They all fell to the ground.

Xavier got up quickly and threw a punch at Jade.

But it was stopped. He couldn't punch through the wall of energy.

Jade turned towards him and grabbed him by his face and threw him into the opening.

Xavier was still very injured from the wave of needles she sent flying over.

Xavier tried to get up but Jade was already in front of his face.

She kicked him in the chin. He went flying.

Xavier coughed up some blood,He could barley breath, or walk.

"Damn it. At this rate I'll…I'll die. And she's not even trying. Where the hell is Frost?" Xavier asked.

Xavier could see needles coming at him again now.

He could do nothing but watch as they got closer and closer.

"Looks like this is it then." He said.

But just before they made contact with his body. There was a voice that yelled "expand".

Everything froze. Nothing was moving at all.

It was Jerome's voice. He walked over with a kid still in his hands.

He crushed the kids neck and threw him to the side.

"Man….these poor children. Good thing they don't have to be here anymore. In such a terrible world." Jerome said.

Everything was frozen in time. Jerome was walking around hitting each needle away from Xavier one by one.

"Someone like you Xavier…I would let you die but. The captain wouldn't forgive me."

He taped all of the needles out of the way and then started walked towards Jade's body.

She was moving though.

Jerome had a surprised look on his face.

"It's because of your little energy ball, isn't it?" Jerome asked.

Jade nodded her head.

"But you can't move around can you? You can only stay put in this spot u til it's over." Jerome said.

"Looks like you've gotten it all figured out." Jade said.

Jerome looked with an annoying look on his face.

"I don't know what the hell that power is but it annoys me. Just imagine being that much of a pussy that you have to hide behind a ball that only few people can penetrate." Jerome said.

Jade had an angry look on her face.

Time was still frozen.

"If I had my reaper right now…you'd be dead." Jerome said.

He placed his hand on the invisible force holding his hand back.

"I see….it's almost messing around with space. I can't go beyond this point…unless someone has brute strength." Jerome said.

Jerome pulled out his blade right in front of Jade's face.

She couldn't do anything but just watch.

Jerome took a swing at her. And the sword stopped also.

Jerome walked behind Jade. He took another swing with his sword.

"Oh. I see now." Jerome said.

"When I attacked you from the back area the force is weaker. I could tell because my sword is even closer to your body. You must focus all of your energy in the front. Am I right?" Jerome asked.

Jade looked at him in silence.

"Your stronger the. Your father though. Must be nice." Jerome said.

"YOU GUYS WERE THE ONES WHO KILLED HiM, ATTACKED OUR CLAN, AND SET FIRE TO OUR PEOPLE!!" Jade yelled.

Jerome looked with a blank expression on his face.

"We didn't do that. Child you have no idea about what's going on like we do."

"What I do know is that it was two people with robs on and a huge hats that covered their faces. It was a man and a women." Jerome said.

Jade had a surprised look.

"Wh-what?" She said.

Jerome started to walk I front of her now.

"If you have no proof of ones actions and just listen to others…the you'll get no where. This is what makes u weaker then your father as a whole leader. He would have sat down and talked it out. You went right to violence." Jerome said.

"Just take a look around you. Most of your army has been killed. And out people has died also. All because you didn't wanna talk it out." Jerome said.

Jade looked around to see dead soldiers, women,men, and children. All by her hands.

"Don't get me wrong. I'm glad you could get them all out of this world. But even I wouldn't have sent kids into war." Jerome said.

Jerome clapped his hands and everything started moving again.

Xavier was confused. He closed his eyes shut and expected to get stabbed. But instead he could feel the wind of the needles passing by him.

He looked up to see Jerome in front of Jade.

Jade looked down and said nothing.

"Do you get what you did is now costing your clan? They will all die. They should have put your brother in charge." Jerome said.

Jade looked up.

She closed her eyes very tight. And then started yelling.

"YOUR WRONG…..YOU WRONGGG."

Jade threw a punch at Jerome.

It stopped dead at his face.

The force of the punch had aggressive wind that sent Xavier flying away. Before Xavier could go off in the distance Jerome was already near the broken Gate and caught Xavier.

He put Xavier down.

"Take notes rookie. I'm about to kill my second captain of a clan." Jerome said.

Jade ran and Jerome. Before they could get any closer.

A beam of fire shot out of the forest.

It sounded like a jet. The flames burned the trees in the area. Jerome could feel the heat from where he was standing.

Jerome looked to his left. "Heh. I didn't expect you to be here with him."

Adisa and the leader of the blaze clan with his army came out of the woods.

"Finally we're here." Adisa said.

Adisa's face quickly went down. He could see all the dead bodies.

With Jade and Jerome.

The leader of the fire clan Blaze put his hand out to halt Adisa from moving.

"Adisa. You stay back. Your injured and we don't need you to get hurt anymore. I'll be the one to take care of Jade."

The only mission I have for you is to find your captain and to tell him to get back here where I'm at." Blaze said. Blaze had a huge smile on his face.

Adisa nodded his head and headed over to Udo's location.

Blaze snapped his hands and the army followed Adisa.

Blaze started to stretch.

Jerome and Jade both just stared in amazement.

"Jerome. Leave her to me. I got this covered." Blaze said.

Jerome said nothing and nodded his head.

He ran over to Xavier to check on him.

Blaze stepped into the clearing.

"Like my father did…and my great ancestors before me. I will show you the power of the fire clan. My flames will burn you to the bone." Blaze yelled.

Blaze balled up his fist and fire appeared on them. He got into a strong stance. Almost like a karate stance.

"Show me what the blind clan leader can do." Blaze said.
