| Jack's glowing eyes peered over the edge of the book momentarily. Just as he had expected, Sabata had thrown some dark shots his way. Jack spun out of the way of these, shielding the book in his arms, and was only brushed a couple of times on the shoulder and the leg. As he came around, he nearly lost his balance on the narrow, slippery ridge, but he was able to correct his posture and fall back against the wall. Breathing, he smiled sardonically for a moment, cocked his head and continued reading.
Jack: "T'ciiaana unii ana, innacaicn c'cnvaai nor iuc raicn..." The rain was getting notably harder, the clouds darker and thicker. As Jack chanted in Netherspeak, turquoise runes appeared in the air and on the surface of the church behind him, spewing noxious liquids to the ground below. Some of the poison dripped down the ivy that Sabata climbed, and could burn him up if he didn't plan his route carefully. (edited by Jack Skellington on 06-03-06 11:59 PM) |

| "Persistant bastard..." He growled, noticing the ivy walls starting to corode and burn away. At the last second, he kicked away from the wall to a neabry tree. Still not near to Jack, but close enough, he held donw the trigger and creates the Blackhole at teh barrel fo his gun again to try and draw the undead human in. | |||

| Jack: "N'au d't'notaa, atonroc - ... what the Hell?"
The book he held in his hands shook rapidly, and before he could react it was flying through the air and toward Sabata's gun! The runes around him faded, losing their power with the spell, and Jack was livid with their failure. "Again with the gravity?!" He didn't have a choice. If he wanted to save the book, he'd have to dive in after it. Telekinesis would not have a strong enough effect against the black hole. His mind set on protecting the fragile thing, Jack sprung from his place on the thin ledge, clearing the distance to Sabata's tree, and grabbed the book out of the air just before it was pulled into the sphere. He was just able to turn his back to the orb himself when he was sucked into its chaotic field. A strange, sickening feeling like being on one of those orbiters at the fair, and then Jack was falling out of the sky a distance away. It was all happening so fast, by the time he hit a surface he could only make out that he had just missed being impaled on a tall, metal rod in the shape of a cross. He had his tome safely in hand, and for that he was relieved. Jack looked to see where he was, and found that he had landed on the steep top of a bell tower, right next to the treacherous steeple. He used the pole to steady himself as he climbed to a standing position - not an easy task on such a wet and angled platform. The sky was now a dark indigo-gray, fading quickly with the dim sun. The rain was pelting the two harder than ever, creating a tapping roar that was almost impossible to hear over. Lighting seemed to spend more time crackling than not. If Jack hated the weather before, he loathed it now. He'd be contented if he could just try out the book's power on the dark boy, who was still situated on the tree, just a leap away from the church's wall. From there it'd be a quick climb or jump to the steep roof, and he'd be directly below the bell tower, on which Jack stood elevated another fifteen feet. Jack held the book open, spitting the rain out of his face, and squinted at the pages. They seemed to curiously repel water. "One way or another, we're going to be an audience to the demon of this book. You won't be stopping me. Mind that the angrier I get with you, the harsher your death shall be!" Jack cackled atop the tower as lighting flashed across his shadow. 'I might need some relief with this...' He thought. "Oh, Samus!!!" The tiling of the rooftop splintered away, and an eerie green glow drifted from its cracks. There was a repeated pounding noise, and at each thump the crack grew larger and larger... and then, an entire hole was burst away, as an enormous snake-like head shot out of the opening! It may have at first appeared to be a serpent, but one learned of the dead would recognize it as a sandworm; a two-headed, yellow-eyed, black and white striped beast from the dead Saturn Desert. Samus reared its head and roared, revealing its second head tucked away inside its mouth. The sandworm waited for Sabata to make an approach to Jack, who was trying to finish the spell. Judging from its enormous size, it wouldn't be letting him pass by, so long as it was alive. |

| That tactic worked, but his original purpose failed to destroy the book. He sensed Jack fall away from him afte rbein drawn into the Blackhole, so he slid his headband over his eyes, and the white eye-like parts on his headband started to glow.
He looked into it and located Jack as where he was, then also spotted the sandworm. "Holy shit, what the fuck is that thing!?" Deciding to fight now and ask questions later, he decided to equip more Nightmare Grenades to his gun before he Zero-Shifted towards Jack's position, keeping a close eye on the sandworm creature. I wonder if that thing will suffer damage from darkness or not... I'll be in deep shit if that giant worm is invunerable to darkness. But to insure my safety, I'll have to destroy that book, seeing as he relies on it to even battle with me. |

| As soon as Sabata was shifting over the rooftop, Samus dived down into the roof and disappeared. Some magic allowed it to travel into surfaces as if it were tunneling through sand. A moment later, its head appeared directly beneath the Dark Boy, bursting from the wet tiles below and attempting to swallow him whole! It would make no difference that Sabata was immaterial, because spirits are exactly what sandworms eat. They normally consume wandering souls of the dead, but Samus didn't care at all that Sabata appeared quite alive. Predicting that he might try to escape, Samus shot its tail from the opposite side of Sabata and swung it down - it'd try to crush him against the roof if he tried to dodge that way.
Things were about to get worse, above. On top of the bell tower, Jack was just finishing the last lines of the page! As he chanted the final word, he expectantly looked down to see the spell's effects... but nothing happened. Jack: "...Oh, of course. Tuh." Jack flipped the page, on which were many more lines of the spell. Without delay, he continued speaking in the dead language, while a turquoise rune appeared floating behind him every few seconds. They were beginning to mesh together into a sort of eerie, glowing wall... |

| "Nightmare Grenade!" He fired off a dark grenade into Samus' mouth, and tried ot dodge, but was smashed down by the tail. This is a kick in the ass... Damn it, I should of said no to Hel when she asked fo rme to get that Jack character...
The Dark boy quickly recovered and ate a Speed Nut which increased his speed, which he used ot sprint away from the giant-ass sandworm. Now the Nightmare Grenade would epxlode....... now (unless it coughed it back up). "You persistance bitch! I don't care what Hel does ot me, right now I'm just gonna destroy that book one way or another, then send your scwany ass back into the damn dirt!" The Dark boy cursed at Jack. |

| Samus quickly swallowed, contented to have caught something in its mouth. Thinking its work done, it looked expectantly up at Jack for praise, but soon found its bubble burst when the Nightmare Grenade it had eaten exploded in its gut. Shrieking and hissing, the head pulled itself back into the rooftop, followed by its long tail.
Jack was only vaguely aware of what was happening below, as the spell casting took most of his attention. The turquoise wall of runes behind him on the top of the bell tower was nearly a solid circle, with only a few broken marks scattered about its surface. The storm around the church raged on, and lighting was almost constantly striking the ethereal wall, spreading blue and green flames along the tower. Jack felt the flames licking at his feet, and hurried to finish the spell. He had about one final line to go, but it was a tongue twister. Samus was not ready to quit either. It burst out of the roof with shocking suddenness, and made an ear-splitting roar at Sabata. Once more, it dived at him with both mouths wide open, angled to face the base of the bell tower should Sabata successfully dodge... |

| Sabata cursed loudly, sprinting away. There probably be no way he would be able to stop Jack from completeing the spell in tim, but he wasn't giving up. There has to be a way to destroy the demon beast he's summoned. If darkness hurts it, but not enough... He reached into his pocket, and noticed the Rising Sun grenade, he was given by his brother.
"... damn it. This is gonan hurt me, but I have no other choice..." Jumping high into the air, he equipped the single grenade, then fired it into the air, shouting out the name, "Rising Sun!" Reaching a fair enough height, the bomb exploded, bathing the entire church and the hillside in a bright sun partical, which also disapated the severe storm. All with darkness elements, undead, or monsters (like the Sandworm Samus) will be severaly harmed by this.... which also included Sabata, who was already sprinting away back towards the church to hide inside, to protect himself in the shadows. |
