Jackal sat in the cell. He hadn't been without his mask since he got it. He was addicted, the logical part of his mind said. It was drowned out by the rest of his mind screaming in anger. He stared, liflesly at the ground, shaking almost imperceptibly, his mind going in between logical, remorseful, and furious.
Then the wall blew in and Darkhold stood in the opening.
"Hey boss! Found you! Let's get out of here!" Darkhold said. After Jackal didn't respond he walked over and put his hand on his shoulder, "Are you okay bos-agh-"
Jackal grabbed his head an snapped his neck. Jackal got up, summoned his staff through the hole Darkhold made and went to retrieve his mask.
Walker arrived to the scene almost directly after the Jackal left.
"Sir!" The Guards said, "Darkhold brook him out, and then, well, we found him,"
Walker walked in to find Darkhold with his head turned around backwards, his eyes glassy.
"Call the DA. We need them to dispose of these spikes. And get TUBA officials over here to get that shardblade," Walker said, "Kevin, Jack, Henry, John, with me."
"Where are we going?" Kevin asked.
"To catch Jackal," Walker said.
Jackal walked down the hallway, his mask off, slaughtering anyone who got in his way, whistling a bird song tune as he walked, his mind warring itself, with only one thing holding him together; get the mask.
He walked into the Crawler prisoner armory, and chopped the lifeless sent to pick up his mask in half. He picked up the mask and put it on. He screamed, the anger returning, his mind shattering, then reforming, to the voidpsren's whims. Then, it stopped. His mind was whole again, the voidpsren back in command of the mask's powers.
Walker and the Special Incursion elites ran in, with John, Henry, and Jack, opening fire. Jackal spun around, throwing his staff, straight decapitating Jack, slashing Henry's spin in to, and opening up John's gut. The staff returned to Jackal's hand. Walker ran at him, his katans in his hand swinging them down at Jackals face, missing just slightly as JAckal dodged to the side, and the staff returned to his hands.
"You want to do this again Walker? You know how this ends! If you let me go, you might be able to save that man's life!" Jackal said, gesturing at John, with Kevin holding him.
"Walker!" Kevin yelled, "LET HIM GO!"
Walker didn't say a word, and just ran at Jackal, his swords clashing against his staff, swinging wildly, unable to stop. He surged som much speed that no one could stop him, his skin burning from the force of his kinetic energy, and he swung and hit Jackal in the forehead, shattering the gemstone in the middle. Jackal shrieked at the feeling of the voidpsren that had been with him for all these years vanishing, back to Odiums army, to fuse and find a more abt host. He fell to the ground, his staff in his hands, his armor clanking against the ground, as the Precursors hadn't taked it off him yet. The red in his eyes began to dim.
"HOW COULD YOU DO THIS!" Walker yelled at him, kicking him off his hands and knees to the ground, "I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD!"
