== Story ==
"Bring it on... "- Jared says under his breath and prepares to defend himself as John escorts the general and the rest of the warriors to safety.
"But... doesn't he need our help?"- One of the soldiers asks John.
He smiles.
"There's no need to."- He says and looks at Jared- "He's very brave. He can handle this himself."
"A number of one is not a problem for him."
John looks up and is surprised to see that the stars have formed the shape of Jared.
"Wait."- He says to himself- "Why do I remember so much about Jared? Did I... "
"Did I know him before we met at the station?"
However, he isn't left with more time to wonder as he has to watch Jared fight the leader of the invaders, along with everyone else.
"Come on, Jared!"- General Knave yells- "You can do it! We believe in you!"
Jared smiles as he parries his enemy's blows.
"Did you hear that, mister? They believe in me!"
The man snickers.
"I don't need anyone to trust me to fight well!"- He yells and swings his blade at Jared.
The two of them swing their blades at each other, trying to push each other to thr ground.
Unfortunately, the leader is the first who pushes Jared to the ground.
He draws his gun and points it at him.
"Well? How does it feel now?"- He says.
"What do you mean?"- Jared asks him.
The man grins.
"Being on the losing side, of course!"
Just as he is about to fire a bullet at him, John sneaks up behind him and hits him in the head with a wooden board.
"Now! Jared, attack!"- He says.
Jared nods and grabs his blade as the stunned man tries to regain his senses.
He manages to land a few solid blows, opening some of the man's previous wounds.
When the man gets back up, he looks at his bleeding wounds and smiles.
"Well then. It seems like I am the one who's destined to die."- He says.
He grabs his gun.
"But if I have to die, I'll take at least one more person with me into the netherrealm!"
He fires his gun at Jared, with the boy managing to evade his bullets and pinning him to a wall.
"It's over, villain!"- He yells and stabs him in the head as John watches in horror.
Jared notices that John is woried and looks at him.
"Is everything alright, my friend?"- He asks him.
John sighs.
"I'm sorry. It's just... "- He says- "This... was our commanding officer. At the police station. He... he was such a nice man. And now... now he is dead. Why? Because he lost his ways and went against the living beings who were going to help him out."
Jared shakes his head.
"I'm so sorry, John. But this is how it goes- you lose people, but you must not lose yourself."
John nods.
"No."- He says- "I won't. For the sake of every friendly person around the world, I will not."
Before he can contnue, though, the general interrupts him and approaches Jared.
"Jared, on behalf of our small settlement, I thank you for helping us repel those fiends. We owe you a lot."
Jared shakes his head.
"If it is monetary, I cannot accept it. My heart cannot accept it."
The general nods.
"Of course. I understand that very well. But we still owe you a lot of gratitude, so I hope that you will accept it."
Jared nods.
"Your gratitude is enough for me."
He looks at the eastern gate.
"But now... it is time for us to go. There is not much time left and we need to find my family."
He looks back at John.
"And my friend's."
Everyone nods.
"Very well. But maybe you can stay for one more night, so we can give you supplies, at the very least?"- The general says.
Jared looks at John. He shrugs.
"Well, I think that it might be a good idea, considering what is happening outside those walls."- He says.
Everyone goes back to their sleeping spots, awaiting the arrival of the next day.
