Episode 19

"Jayden...Anubis said, "JAYDEN!" Jayden opened his eyes and took in a deep breath. "What happened?!" Jayden asked as laid in the middle of a field. Above black clouds rolled over and wind blew. Anubis stood in over Jayden, "The Rodakai....your power took over and Ben was able to stop you..." Anubis replied. Jayden got to his feet, he could feel a sharp pain in his chest. "Am I...dead?" Jayden asked. Anubis shook his head, "No...though I don't know how much longer your body can stay in the form it's in...my healing abilities and your own are contradicting one another causing your wounds to heal slower than normal..." Anubis replied. Jayden gritted his teeth, "He's strong..." He said. Anubis nodded, "This is true...but you have something he doesn't," he replied. "What's that?" Jayden asked. Anubis smiled, "Me...your power....along with mine, if we combine our strength into one then you will be able to stop Ben," he replied. Jayden's eyes widened, "But...that's not possible...until now I didn't realize I had this power....I don't know how to control it," he replied. Anubis placed his hand on Jayden's shoulder, "You said that the first time we made our contract," he said, "And look at you now." Jayden nodded, "Right...but how do we combine our power?" Anubis grinned, "Just leave it to me..." Anubis pulled out his sword and drove it into Jayden's stomach. "Wha...." Jayden said, his eyes widened in shock. Anubis grinned, "Don't worry...this won't kill you, however in order for us to become one entity our bond must be formed in blood..." Anubis drove the other end of his blade into his stomach causing both his and Jayden's blood to come together. The blood around them glowed a bright red and in an instant Jayden opened his eyes. Ben was walking away, "Pathetic...I guess I'll have to tell the boss that he was wasting his time..." He said. Jayden could feel power coursing through him that he couldn't describe, "This is what our power truly is..."Anubis said, "Now stand and fight..." Jayden nodded and he slowly got to his feet. Red, black, and white energy began surging around him as he walked towards Ben. "Oh?" Ben asked as he turned, "Just don't know when to stay down do we? Jayden smiled, "Never learned how...." Ben teleported in front of Jayden and swung at him. Jayden stopped Ben's fist with his finger, "My turn now...." Jayden said as he drove his foot into Ben's stomach. Ben stuttered as he backed away, "Ho...w is this possible?" He asked. The aura around Jayden formed a silhouette around him. "This is my true power..." Jayden replied as his hair turned white and his eyes turned white with yellow slits. Ben gritted his teeth, "YOU WILL NOT WIN THIS FIGHT!" He shouted as he swing again at Jayden. Jayden blocked the attack and he again drove his fist into Ben's face and the silhouette slammed it's fist down on Ben slamming him into the ground. Ben coughed up blood as he struggled to get to his feet, "Hokarthy...I'm using our secret weapon...." He said. "You realize that this will kill you..." Hokarthy said. Ben nodded as he stood to his feet, "I refuse to let this trash make a fool of me..." Jayden continued walking towards Ben, the aura around him swirling around him. Ben laughed as he jumped back, "LEO FATE CANNON!" the energy around Ben began getting sucked into the mouth of the Lion head on his chest. Jayden stopped, "This is bad...." He said. "That attack is a last resort..." Anubis said, "We need to counter it if we intend to walk out of here alive..." Jayden nodded and extended both of his arms towards Ben. Black energy began forming around Jayden as a white energy ring formed around Ben's arms. "ARE YOU CRAZY?!" Anubis asked, "THIS ATTACK WILL KILL YOU IF YOU AREN'T CAREFUL!" Jayden grinned, "I don't have much of a choice here...though I don't plan on dying either...." The ground around both Ben and Jayden cracked as energy around formed into massive energy blasts. "THIS WILL DETERMINE OUT FATES!" Ben shouted. Jayden gritted his teeth as a second ring formed. "Almost there..." Jayden said. The ceiling above began collapsing as the energy in the room began swirling rapidly. The energy blast in Ben's chest burned bright yellow. "WHO WILL FALL? ME OR YOU!" Ben asked. Jayden continued to charge the blast as a third ring formed, "WE'LL JUST SEE WONT WE!" he replied. The ground exploded as both blasts reached maximum power. "JAYDEN!" Ben shouted, "BEN!" Jayden shouted. "THIS IS THE END!" Ben shouted as the blast fired from his chest and surged towards Jayden. "COSMIC RAY ETHERION!" Jayden shouted as rings brightened and a dark void opened releasing a blast of white energy that surged towards the incoming blast. Both attacks hit causing everything around them to be blown away. Jayden and Ben were thrown back from the explosion. Meanwhile The facility shook from the blast as Martin, Mikiu, and Yuki rushed down the hallways of the facility followed by Sentinels. "What the hell is that?" Martin asked. "Jayden..." Yuki replied, "We need to find him..."
