Chapter 6: Truths
There was a dead silence in the air. Jack, in awe that he found his father not dead but alive, was clenching his teeth and trying to think about his next move.
"Yes, your father's here. I found him lingering in the air as an empty soul. Then, I restored him to who he really was: your father. I knew I could use him to my advantage, so I decided not to kill him. And, he's been a great help to me as well." He looked at Jack's father and tugged on his neck. "Isn't that right?" Jack could hear a muffled growl of anger from his father.
"Let my father go, now." snarled Jack. "Or what? You'll slice me to death?" replied Bart in a sarcastically scared tone. "Ooh, I shudder at the thought of it. Pity you'll never be able to do it."
Jack had never felt so angry before. He was waiting for everything he had to come out of him automatically somehow. It did; except not in a way that he would've thought of.
"LET HIM GO NOW, YOU SCOUNDREL! YOU'RE PATHETIC! WHY DON'T YOU TRY AND PICK A FAIR FIGHT?! YOU'RE NOTHING BUT A NO GOOD, PATHETIC COWARD!" The words had just flooded out of him. Even the others were surprised to see him talk so angry like that.
"Oh, so the little boy thinks he could defeat me? How cute. You couldn't even make me flinch if you wanted to." said the menacing Bart. "JUST WATCH ME!!" said Jack as he rushed forward to attack Bart.
Jack's blade touched, but not exactly hit Bart's shoulder. "Hm? Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize we were starting." said Bart in a mocking tone.
Bart released a pulse of dark energy and shot it right at Jack, who was propelled into the wall! Jack moved forward to strike again, but then Bart disappeared. He looked around, then paused suddenly. He turned slowly to look behind him, and Bart was there! He had teleported there somehow using his dark powers.
"Hello, there...and goodbye." Bart forcefully punched Jack and sent him flying into the ground. Jack was angry and balling his fists. If he didn't succeed in defeating Bart, his father would die. He had to win for the fate of him and his father.
Just as Jack got up to strike again, he heard a voice speak. "Master, we are here." It was Michael and his now remaining three men.
"It's about time!" snapped Bart. "Have you brought it...?" Michael nodded and held out a crystal. It looked shiny and was a ruby color.
"Perfect, then. We now have the ancient jewel of Asmatak." Jack and the others were confused. "Asmatak?" said Gastro. "It's a jewel that is said to contain unimaginable power that would be given to whoever gets it." answered Del.
"My master plan is almost complete. It's all falling into place. My dream shall finally be fulfilled!" Bart laughed maniacally.
"What is your plan, anyway?" questioned Del. Bart stopped laughing for a minute. "Ah, but isn't it obvious? Both to take control of all worlds and after I've taken this one over, I'll be able to control the balances and make darkness supreme!"
Jack then said, "I...can't let you....do that!!" Jack ran at Bart again in a futile attempt to strike him down. He got knocked to the ground once again.
Michael then said, "Sir, the new world we are creating is almost complete too." Bart turned around. "Ah, is it? Good. Let me check." Michael bowed and said, "As you wish, sir."
Bart made an unusual rip in space by making a black hole and entered it. Jack then said, "No, wait!!" He jumped into the portal after Bart! Del had yelled, "No, Jack! Don't!" But, it was too late. He had already entered the portal and was left with Bart alone...
