"Revenge isn't always the answer, but sometimes it is needed."

Jazmine yelped, she was pulled backward, Nova attacking a Dark Mage by biting into their arm. Hannah threw up a shield in front of them, Jazmine watched Nova almost get hit, making her take a step towards her. But Lincoln hits the Dark Mage. He looks at Hannah.

"Get Jazmine out of here!" He said. Hannah nods. She grabs Jazmine's arm, pulling her behind her as they ran. Nova followed them.

"We need to get you to safety, Seto would kill us if something happened to you," Hannah said.

"Right, I bet." Someone said before Jazmine gets hit with a spell and crashes into a wall. Hannah knocked off her feet as well. Nova growls, Jazmine sinks down to the floor. She grabs her hurt arm. The dark mages come over to her, only to get a sword into their chest. Her eyes widen. The body drops. She smiles.

"Ty!" She said. Ty smiled at her, Jason running past him and killing the other. Ty looks at her hurt arm.

"You okay?" He asks. She nods.

"Yeah. Where have you been?" She asks as Ty helped her up.

"Getting some extra help," Ty said. An arrow hits a mage, followed by some furry creature with a blue axe chopping them in half. Hannah gets up.

"No way. You found the others. That's where you two have been for the past few weeks?" Hannah asks. Ty nods.

"Adam was right, but it is the dark mages that ended the Sky Army. Archer and Donella, they killed him but...is Seto and James there?" Ty asks. Jazmine nods. Ty smiles a little. "At least that will be revenge enough for what happened to him." Jazmine smiles.

"Ty!" A voice shouted. Ty looks over his shoulder.

"Ian, Jason, get Jazmine out of here. I don't want her to get hurt and I don't think Seto would be too happy if his fiancé got hurt." Ty said. Hannah looks at Jazmine.

"Fiancé? Wait he proposed? When?!" Hannah asks. Jason and Ian come over to her. Jazmine looks at Ty.

"Please be careful, Ty. This isn't any regular enemy, these are dark mages." Jazmine said. Ty looks at her, he smiles a little.

"Jazmine, I'm a high ranking General for a reason. Now go, we'll come and get you when this is over. Nova, I'm sure Seto gave you the order to protect her, to protect the three of them." Ty said. Nova barked at Ty, her tail wagging. The three of them run away, Nova following.

"Ian," Jason said seeing two dark mages ahead.

"I got it," Ian said pulling out a sword, Jason grabbed her hand, pulling her towards him and letting Nova run past them. Nova jumps on their back, taking a chunk out of their shoulder, knocking them down. Ian strikes down the other one. They continued running, taking down dark mages along the way, but it got to the point where they were growing tired and exhausted from running so much. But Jazmine felt something pierce right into the back of her shoulder making her scream and fall forward onto the ground. Jason, Ian, and Nova slow down.

"Jazmine!" Jason shouted, running back over. He helps her sit up. Ian and Nova go over.

"Hand over that girl." A dark mage said. Jason pulls out his sword, his arm going around Jazmine, pulling her against him as he pointed the sword at the mage.

"Over my dead body," Jason said. The mage chuckles, disappear and reappearing behind Jason.

"Fine with me." They said, bringing a sword down towards Jason. Jazmine gasps.

"No!" She cried. Nova suddenly bites the blade, blood coming out of her muzzle. She growls at the mage.

"Stupid mutt." The mage said. Jason turns backward, cutting up into them and killing them. Nova lets go of the sword. Jazmine grabs Nova.

"Come here." She said. She winces when she tries to look.

"Ian, check Nova," Jason said. Jason bunds Jazmine's shoulder, Ian pries open Nova's muzzle. Jazmine stares at Nova.

"Is she okay?" Jazmine asks.

"Cut her tongue and her mouth a bit, but she's fine," Ian said letting go. Jason sweeps Jazmine off her feet. Jazmine puts her arm around his neck.

"I can wa—"

"You won't be able to in about two minutes with how much your shoulder is bleeding. And with Nova's tongue and muzzle cut up, she can't heal you." Jason said. They started running again, Jazmine was starting to feel dizzy and weak, she rested her head on Jason's shoulder. After a while her skin was starting to turn pale, her clothes turning shades darker from the blood staining them. "Hang in there, Jazmine."
