Jax stood off to the edge of the group as Roxas took charge, her mind focused. Usually she would be annoyed, being told what to do but for the moment she was grateful for the reprieve. When Morthos came to stand near her she gave him a confident smirk, not letting an inkling of the fear she felt leak through. She leaned her head forward, her concentration on the beast ahead of them, only looking up at the mention of her name, giving her group a wave before she turned back to Roxas and her sister. After his harrowing speech she watched him walk up and tell Morthos to follow her lead. She stuck out her tongue at him before Roxas told her to give the big guy Hell. She gave him a dark smile, “[color=39b54a]He’s going to wish he was back there when I am done with him. Be smart out there…and take care of my sister.[/color]” 

Once Roxas was off, she turned to Ophelia, hugging her roughly, “[color=39b54a]You are my person. You leave me alone here and I will follow you soon. Be safe.[/color]”

She turned to her group, “[color=39b54a]Alright, we have one job boys. We need to get to the cave. Keep together and try not to get separated. He knows we are coming so we are going to get the brunt of what is coming. Prepare yourselves![/color]” 

With that she turned to Morthos, a smug look on her face, “[color=39b54a]I’m not giving you any last words.[/color]” She pulled out her scythe, rolling it onto her shoulders giving him her brightest smile, “[color=39b54a]Because there is no way I am dying today. Now let’s go save your mom.[/color]”

With that, she watched Roxas and her sister head into battle. The carnage hit quickly and Jax wasted no time to follow. She let out a battle cry as she ran full force into the demon horde with Morthos at her side. As she came up to her first demon, her arms shot up, her scythe twirling up and over her shoulders as she caught the blade coming down, she twisted it around in her hands slicing the demon in half as she moved around Morthos, her footwork perfect as she kicked out knocking a demon’s teeth in. A grunt erupted out of her lips as she brushed past Morthos’ back, coming back around to slice up and over her head in a downward motion, slicing two more demons the scythe moving in a 360 degree angle. 

She kept her eyes out for Roxas as she fought, following behind him, as he and his men were swarmed. She looked at her own men, with Yam flanking her left. She watched the woman go to town on a few demons heading her way and gave her a nod. She could see the face of the cave in the distance, an ominous black rage dwelling just behind the darkness when she noticed a pack of hellhounds was heading her way from the right. She screamed, “[color=39b54a]WATCH OUT!!![/color]” 

Suddenly, the pack was on them and a large hound jumped right into the sky to pounce at Jax. She dropped to the ground, rolling in just enough time to miss the sharp jowels of the creature. The hound was fast though and turned around his teeth coming to snap at Jax when suddenly the creature stopped an inch from her face green eyes meeting yellow slits. Jax let out a breath as she smiled, “[color=39b54a]Pentagrams. Bitch. Your mine now.[/color]” 

Just below the hound was a thick black pentagram drawn from the blood staining the Earth. It turned green shooting up into the sky like a beam of light, the green flames hitting the chest of the beast imprinting it with Jax’s curse. The hound let out a quick howl as Jax rolled onto her feet hopping onto the back of the hound, her hand gripping the bits of fur on its back. She turned to Morthos who seemed to do his best to take down a few of his own hounds. She bit her bottom lip, [i]damn…[/i] Suddenly she remembered where she was and yelled at him, “[color=39b54a]I’m going ahead. Meet you at, the cave.[/color]”

With that she pushed forward the hound snapping and ripping at any demon in its way at Jax’s command. At the same time, Jax twisted out of the way as demons from the sky came down to try to rip her away from the hound. She slipped her scythe into its sheath, a plan forming as she eyed a new flying demon with large leather wings and sharp claws charging from the skies. She jumped up, her feet resting on the back of the hellhound, her body swaying as she tried to balance on the moving creature. Her eyes remained on the incoming enemy, waiting…waiting…to jump. Suddenly she jumped up grabbing the foot of the creature who swerved to the left, surprised at the action. Jax held on tight her legs flying out to the left when she let go using the motion to propel her towards the cave entrance. She flew, forward a large puddle of demons reaching up to catch/tear her to shreds. She moved in slow motion almost swan diving towards a horde of demons climbing over top of each other to rip her to shreds. Jax reached behind her to drag her palms along her blade before forming a pentagram out of blood in the air, speaking slowly as she closed her eyes, “[color=39b54a]Te Libero![/color]”

She fell into the crowd, blood spraying into the air when suddenly the demons blew away, leaving Jax to stand in the center of a bright red pentagram, her eyes and hands glowing jade green, the outline of two large black runes underneath each of her eyes. Her appearance was eclipsed by a large red [url=https://i.pinimg.com/564x/0f/64/54/0f6454e39b3c4961f6326c42e68dc20e.jpg]demon[/url] kneeling behind her, who at full height would double her height, his blade coated in black slime. She clenched her fist, the pentagrams burning away the cuts on her hands, before she pulled out her scythe heading into the cave, “[color=39b54a]Been awhile Tarax.[/color]”

The demon snarled, “[color=f26522]Too long… Child. Mmm…Fresh meat.[/color]” 

Jax nodded, watching as he began to lick the blood off his sharp claws. She started her incantations as she took a few steps away from the pentagram, towards the cave, a wave of cold air blowing through her hair. She stared into the darkness, her body turning rigid as her attention was caught on two copper colored eyes, and the outline of razor-sharp black teeth. Jax shivered, an inkling of terror she had only felt once before coursing through her. Tarax laughed, “[color=f26522]Scared…you should be! He is going to tear you to shreds![/color]”

Jax watched the eyes fade into the dark before she let out a deep breath, turning to see Morthos and Yam with only a few of their original group coming up to her. She watched them for a moment before her expression hardened, “[color=39b54a]He's going to try. Now let's go![/color]”
