Audience with the king

Audience with the king

Jonathan enters the castle in the middle of the kingdom, noticing how the guards were looking at him more than usual, and also feeling strange about stopping Matheus from entering, but he continues on his way, and when he reaches the throne room, he bows.

Jonathan: Good afternoon, Alexander

Alexander: Good afternoon, Jonathan. I hope your afternoon is really good

Jonathan: At this hour and you're throwing out a catchphrase like that? What's your intention? To lighten the mood?

Alexander: You know how I like to be... Dramatic

Jonathan: I don't care, anyway, did you hear? My son is now nine years old, it was his birthday party three days ago

Alexander: Really? Congratulations, Jonathan

Jonathan: Thanks, anyway, Matheus said you would come and call me here because of a mistake I made on some mission, but if that were the case, you wouldn't be worth much of an audience because of a scolding.

Alexander: Exactly, I wanted to discuss something important with you.

Jonathan: Tell me soon, today you're really being more dramatic.

Alexander: I'm sorry, I like this, suspense...

Jonathan: How did you get chosen as a king?

Alexander: Complicated...

Jonathan: Uh... Tell me soon!

Alexander: Right, right, uh... Jonathan!... I... I... I'm sorry...

Jonathan: Uh? For what?-

Jonathan narrowly dodges a blow that should have exploded his head, a fireball, which expands in the place it hit.

Jonathan: What the hell is this?... What the hell?-

Jack: You are someone who has proven your strength with this

Jonathan notices his burned throat and part of his burned abdomen, he sends a blast of energy against Jack, throwing him against several of the pillars in the throne room, Alexander makes a signal, the guards surround Jonathan and advance against him, he observes the expression of despair on Alexander's face, as if he really didn't want to do this, then, he advances against the guards, kicking one against the other, drawing his golden blade and dividing all the guards in half in a single spinning movement.

Jonathan: Later... You will tell me why, ALEXANDER!!!

Jonathan leaves the castle, destroying the walls in a flight that leaves a trail of golden energy. He observes another trail of red energy following behind him, intercepting him. It was Jack. Jonathan is thrown by a kick against one of the houses in the Kingdom, causing it to collapse with the impact. Jack launches a rain of fireballs at Jonathan, obliterating the house and the others around it. The kingdom activates and chaos begins, with several people moving away from the fighting area.

Jonathan: How are you... Following me?

Jack: Do you think I'm going to answer?

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

Jonathan: No... Hehe...

Jack: Do you still laugh in a situation like this?

Jonathan: I'll be fine, so calm down and get ready for the show

Jack: Uh... Nah, I don't feel like watching a show

Jonathan: You broke my spirit, huh-

Jack punches Jonathan in the stomach, throwing him back against other houses that collapse at the same time, Jack moves his double-bladed sword in a spinning motion, throwing the blade like a boomerang, which goes to where Jonathan was thrown, tearing his chest and returning to Jack's hands, Jonathan grabs some of the large debris and throws it towards Jack, distracting him for a while, he spits out some blood, but manages to get up, raising his hands and throwing an avalanche of shiny golden stakes, which stick into Jack, stopping him for a while, then Jonathan walks away from that scene, going to his house.

Jenny: Don't go thinking that someone dies like that

Jack: I think it should, don't you?

Then, from one moment to the next, a lightning bolt comes out of Jenny's staff, so strong and fast that it throws Jack from one side of the kingdom to the other, and a golden light forms around Jonathan, and his wounds are healed shortly after.

Jonathan: Who is this guy? Why is someone so strong... Is he unknown?

Jenny: Now is not the time to ask, I think we can defeat him right here

Jonathan: I don't know...

Jonathan's Elemental Mark activates, while he was already ready for Jack's return, who, as expected, arrives at the scene, also with his own Elemental Mark active, one in the shape of fire. Jonathan's blade goes towards Jack's abdomen, but Jack dodges it backwards and then he sends his own blade at Jonathan, but he also dodges it, the two move away, but Jack is hit by Jenny's bombardments, he emerges from the smoke, with only a few burns.

Jonathan: What's going on?

Jenny: Big trouble, you're all hurt, what happened to you?!

Jonathan: I still don't know for sure, but we're going to have to disappear for a while, where are the two of them?

Joana: We're already here!

Julian: What do we have to do?

Jonathan: Run...

Jack jumps on top of the group, but Jenny had noticed him approaching, creating a barrier that deflects Jack's blow, throwing him away.

Jack: I thought I would be able to get through...

Jenny: So he's the problem?

Jonathan: That's it...

Jonathan draws his golden blade and like a ray of light, goes towards Jack, their blades clash, Jonathan turns his blade towards Jack's eyes, but Jack defends with his own blade, then plunges it into Jonathan's stomach, who in turn, punches the center of Jack's face, grabs his collar and raises his sword once more, plunging it into Jack's chest, Jenny from afar sends bright golden rays falling from the sky towards Jack, making him burn after the impact, then Jonathan kicks Jack's heel, making him fall to his knees, then he tries to kick Jack's face, but Jack grabs his leg and twists it, while almost dividing Jonathan's body horizontally in half, with a quick cut of his blade.

Jenny: Don't go thinking that someone dies like that

Jack: I think it should, don't you?

Then, from one moment to the next, a lightning bolt comes out of Jenny's staff, so strong and fast that it throws Jack from one side of the kingdom to the other, and a golden light forms around Jonathan, and his wounds are healed shortly after.

Jonathan: Who is this guy? Why is someone so strong... Is he unknown?

Jenny: Now is not the time to ask, I think we can defeat him right here

Jonathan: I don't know...

Jonathan's Elemental Mark activates, while he was already ready for Jack's return, who, as expected, arrives at the scene, also with his own Elemental Mark active, one in the shape of fire. Jonathan's blade goes towards Jack's abdomen, but Jack dodges it backwards and then he sends his own blade at Jonathan, but he also dodges it, the two move away, but Jack is hit by Jenny's bombardments, he emerges from the smoke, with only a few burns.

Jack: Don't you think two against one is a bit unfair?

Jonathan: And don't you think you're too strong?

Jack: The same can be said about you

Then, from the wreckage, Matheus emerges, already with the Elemental Mark activated, he jumps on top of Jack, who defends himself and sends several long cuts with his sword that was now surrounded by fire.

Matheus: Jonathan! Run away! I don't know what's going on, but I have my deductions!

Jack: Damn obstacle...

Jack cuts off Matheus' left arm, then gives Matheus a critical knee, making him spit blood, disoriented, Matheus is hit with several consecutive punches to his face and chest, meanwhile, Jonathan manages to escape, and in the midst of Jack's focus on Matheus, Jenny creates a clone of Jonathan and Joana and Julian and herself, serving as a distraction.

Jenny clone: Hey! You fool! Come here if you're a man!

Jack: Your attempts to irritate me are infamous

Jenny clone: Whatever... The important thing is that you looked this way...

Jonathan's sword pierces Jack's back, going through his body, he spits blood, but he turns and elbows Jonathan clone in the face, placing his hand on his chest, he takes his sword and cuts Jonathan clone's legs in a single fierce movement.

Jack: Someone like you... Getting distracted like that is pathetic

Jonathan: I still-

Jack cuts Jonathan clone's neck, cutting him off, then he is hit hard by a bright explosion, he then starts running against Jenny clone, even though she cast consecutive explosive spells against him, he grabs her arm and punches her stomach, then elbows her chin and finally pierces her heart, plunging his blade into her chest, then he sends several cutting projectiles at the two children there, cutting them in half, then Jenny clone gets up, even with the sword in her chest, she tries to cast another offensive spell at Jack, but he blocks the blow with his arms.

Jack: You are a very strong woman, both physically and mentally, I appreciate that

Jenny: ... Miserable

Jack sends a red beam of light, which goes through Jenny clone, finally stopping her, but from the rubble, Matheus gets up.

Matheus: Bastard...

Matheus' tone is severe, he didn't see Jenny making the clones, so he thinks that the dead in front of him are the real ones, he reactivates the Elemental Mark that had been erased by Jack's last blow to him. Matheus tries to cut Jack's neck, but Jack dodges it and kicks Matheus in the face, making him fall to the side, even though he gets up right away, and punches Jack in the ribs in a critical blow, but Jack doesn't shake and grabs Matheus' head and starts to knee Matheus in the center of his face consecutively, knocking him out, then Jack launches a shockwave made of fire that throws Matheus away.

Jack: Tell me... You're not even part of that family, why fight so much?

Jack asks when he sees Matheus get up from the rubble, even without his arm and completely damaged.

Matheus: Jonathan... He was an incredible man, with the family I always wanted to have, I won't let... The one who killed them... Go unpunished!!!

Jack: At least you're a man of honor, I'll kill you quickly
