"Jasmine!!" Tyson screamed.
The group had been well enough to get to this moment. Their way back home, finally here, they were only just a few walks to their emancipation from this strange world. There had been no setbacks so far, but now it felt like their escape was impossible.
Tyson's face was without emotion, he didn't know what to feel, only a sense of hope enveloped his mind, there was a chance she survived the fall, she was always prepared for everything after all. During their arrival to the planet she was prepared, she even brought up the bait test, every obstacle they faced she was prepared, and now Tyson was hoping she was prepared for this.
Tyson stood from the floor, his eyes glowed purple and his familiar was soon summoned. The two orbs lashed onto his back, soon after two tentacles spear shot out and dug forward to the ground. Tyson's eyes flickered another purple, and he was launched to the air towards the cliff.
A red energy came from the side, the demon wasn't going to watch his meal escape from him. Tyson turned to dodge the attack, but he was hit with the attack knocking him down the cliff.
Jake soon got up from the floor, and he was rushing in for an attack, clawing the air as he ran towards Ashrak. The attack was succeeding, Ashrak joined his hands to cover the attack.
Jake was soon in front of Ashrak, he then made his fingers into a claw shape.
Yellow energy could be felt by Jake gathering at the tip of his fingers, it was invincible to Ashrak and a claw swipe was soon delivered by Jake to his lower region. It dug deep and black blood painted Jake's hands.
Ashrak bared his fangs, and a red fiery fist was delivered at Jake's face, sending him to the floor.
Ashrak felt something in the air coming towards him, he moved to look, and a knee kick was delivered to his face by Xadia, knocking him to the floor.
Ashrak sprung backwards on his four, his eyes glowed red, and his muscles began to collapse and construct as Ashrak's body began to embiggen slowly as he stood from the floor, he clenched his back and let out a loud shriek.
Soon after red energy began to gather in Ashrak's mouth, and he unleashed it towards Xadia and Jake. Xadia quickly grabbed Jake as he dragged his body on the floor, quickly escaping the attack.
Jake soon came to, he rubbed his hand on his head as he shifted to seat. His attention was soon taken by the figure in front of him; Their problem just doubled in size. "Now, I will peel your flesh from your bones, wolf," Ashrak's eyes beamed red.

Tyson's body slowly brushed against the wind as he fell from the cliff. His eyes were closed from the attack that connected that led to his fall over the cliff. His familiar tentacles were still latched onto his back, the tentacles were filled with energy and it needed to act to save its contractor.
Tyson's top right familiar tentacle beamed with energy and it soon made a cut on Tyson's face. There was only one thing that could wake Tyson up right now, and that was stimulus. The cut soon triggered Tyson as he jolted from unconsciousness.
He threw out his arm, controlling the tentacles to dig the flat wall steep, as he stopped himself from hitting the ground.
"Jasmine!" Tyson called at Jasmine's face planted body and leapt to the ground. He then rushed towards her, quickly moving her body to an upright position, she was soaked with blood.
"Jasmine," Tyson called, he then moved his fingers to Jasmine's neck to check for her pulse, he didn't feel anything, and it almost felt like his heart was about to shoot out of his chest.
Tyson placed his head on Jasmine's chest to feel her heart's beating, and his face soon changed.
"No not now, we're here because of you," Tyson cried in a trembling voice.
Tyson then caved his bleeding arms around Jasmine's neck, drawing her body to his chest as he grieved in tears. He soon soaked Jasmine's neck with his own blood.
A red glow shone from Jasmine's neck and it caused Tyson to loosen his arms around her to see the red glowing energy coming from Jasmine.
A red sphere necklace soon began to dangle around Jasmine's neck; it was the blood stone, and as the energy increased, Jasmine's body began to hover away from Tyson's arms.
The red glow from the blood stone began to go dim, and the energy was been siphoned into Jasmine's body, the blood stone then withered to dust. A gasp of air came from Jasmine and she opened her glowing eyes.
Jasmine soon descended from the air, and Tyson was there to aid her landing with his arms. "You're alive, you were always prepared," Tyson beamed with a teary smile.
Jasmine reciprocated a bright smile to hide her emotions; it was all luck, she wasn't prepared or anything, it was all by chance, but she couldn't ruin the moment after all she just came back from the dead, that's not weird at all.
Jasmine then gazed up the steep, with a determined face. "Now let's leave this wretched forsaken planet." Jasmine announced.

Ashrak's sunk his feet to the ground, he then launched towards Jake and Xadia, and delivered a punch to his target.
The attack was avoided, Jake quickly sprung himself quickly evading the it, but the force from the attack was enough to knock him and Xadia to the ground. A crater was the aftermath of the attack.
Xadia soon got up from the ground, and energy was burning inside of him, the energy was reacting to the attack that just came, there were remnants of Ashrak's energy, and it was about to explode again.
An energy was opposing the building energy, and it was one familiar to Xadia, it soon began to push the remnants of the red energy, and Xadia's body was pulled to the ground.
His eyes glowed white and in a flash he launched himself as the red energy made way to his fist, he met Ashrak delivering a punch to his face just right when the red energy exploded pushing Ashrak's humongous body a step back.
Ashrak's eye's glowed more with power, and a back punch sent Xadia skeeding to the very edge of the cliff. Two claw marks soon formed on Ashrak's face, and his attention was quickly drawn to Jake who was the reason for the attack.
Ashrak launched at Jake in a flash, it was very fast and there was no time for Jake to react. Ashrak grabbed Jake's entire body with his enormous claw hand, he then began to slam Jake on the ground, Jake's eyes flash and glowed, reciding and increasing in energy, he gritted his teeth and dug his claw hands into Ashrak's arm, there was no flinch from the demon, and he was fighting to stay conscious.
An immense energy could be felt from Ivy, the carved circle rune drawings lit up with energy and a blue blinding light shot from the crystal to the sky.
"It's done," Ivy smiled and opened her eyes, she soon began to scan the environment including the state it was and her smile soon disappeared, her eyes soon shifted to Xadia who was lying a meter away from her.
Xadia slowly shifted from the ground, he groaned and gritted his teeth. He soon noticed the blinding blue energy and he was caught in a daze.
A voice came from the edge of the cliff, and Jasmine and Tyson alighted from the air, "You did it, we can go now," Jasmine called, and Ivy soon noticed the blood on Jasmine's clothes and her roughed hair and bruised skin, she was carried by Tyson who had her arm around his neck, his tentacle soon recided into it's orbs as they descended from the air.
A loud bang soon distracted Xadia's daze and Jasmine's agape expression at the state Jasmine was. "Jake!!," Xadia called and panicked, his heart began to beat at an unusual speed, he could see Jake in Ashrak's hand, he was still struggling even so. "Why won't you die," Ashrak screamed slamming Jake to the ground.
"Metoria sentis!!" Ivy shouted her eyes split in two different glow, black and blue, her brows was knitted and her emotion powered the spell even more.
Multiple vines shot from the ground and began to bind Ashrak's enormous body, his muscles began to budge as he tried to make free of the vines wrapping around his arms.
His grip on Jake loosened, and it gave way for an escape, Jake clawed the air right up at Ashrak's face and his invincible attack dug to his eyes.
Ashrak screamed, and let go of Jake as he tried to grab his face but the vines wouldn't let him. "I can't hold him much longer," Ivy yelled at Jake and he soon noticed the blinding energy and quickly made his way to the group.
"Come close to the crystal," Ivy commanded, and they responded to her call. She then clasped her hand together and pushed out her energy to the ground.
She then let go of her hold on Ashrak to siphon another spell, "Lema sultra infanales septra". The rune circles color began to change to black and a black energy streak evaded the blue that shot to the sky.
"You're not leaving this place," Ashrak yelled and broke free of the vines. "Nema Talia," Ivy yelled moving her hand around the group. Ashrak was soon upon them and a punch was delivered to the group and the ground shook around them, an energy barrier had been siphoned.
"This won't stop me," Ashrak announced, and covered his hands with his red energy, he then began to claw the barrier and cracks where beginning to form in the air.
"Huh Ivy, can you speed up that spell," Tyson panicked. "Lema sultra infanales septra," Ivy recited again, and the energy crystal began to vibrate.
Ashrak's let out a big puff of air and gathered more energy to his fist, he then punched at the barrier breaking it into dust, and as soon as he did, the energy barrier reciprocated his attack launching him meters away from the group.
"No, you're not getting away!!" Ashrak yelled as he rushed towards the group. The gathered energy in the sky shot down to the group, and the energy force rushed back down at the group and began to glitch the air.
Ashrak forced his hands into the energy around the group slowly dissipating the energy with his own, and his hand was being forced into the space, he then plucked his claws and formed an energy orb pushing it into the space just as the spell rejected his presence.
"No one escapes from me in one piece," A smile formed on Ashrak's face, and Xadia could see it. "Oh no!!" Tyson exclaimed. The orb began to vibrate in parralax to the crystal. Xadia quickly threw his arms to push the energy away from the crystal.
"No, don't touch it!, It's unstable!!!" Ivy yelled, but Xadia ignored the warning, and Jake leapt to stop him, as he crashed into Xadia. Ashrak's energy density increased in vibration and the crystal and rune circle beneath them lifted the group in the air teleporting them as the two energy force collided in the space, severing the program of the spell and exploding the crystal into dust.
