Disclaimer: I don't know nor have I ever met BSB. I don't know or work for
anyone connected to the BSB. This is just a story, it's not real and did
not happen. In other words I made it all up.

Warning: This story is really weird, like most of my stories. It's really
out there in so many ways. I don't know how it's going to end I just know
the how it's going to begin. There may be sex, so if your under 18 don't
read it. If you don't like stories that involve relationships between two
men then don't read any further.

Authors Note: As all of you know, well those that have read my other
stories. I've lost my mind, and it reflects on my stories. I want to thank
a few people, the first is Eddi. He is like so cool and my best
buddy. Secondly I would like thank Kenitra, you have helped me so much. If
it wasn't for Kenitra I would have never started writing so thank you so
much. For anyone I didn't put in this, sorry. Ok now on with my favorite
part of my stories, the symbols. Ok these *** mean a character change. If
I'm just starting a chapter I will put the name of the character in the
middle of the symbols. After I've started the chapter I'll put the name
after the symbols. I think that covers just about anything, well there is
one more thing. If anyone reads this story I would really like to hear some
feed back, good or bad. I hope you like the story.

****Jetta****

There was only so much time left before the fateful war started and Arthur
died. It would be the only time his sword would ever betray him. I had
found myself wondering if I could beat him, it was always on my mind. I
decided I would find out for all time if I was truly the chosen warrior. I
entered Arthur's war room, he looked happy to see, then looked back to his
charts.

"Arthur, I would like ask you to fight me with your sword." He looked a
little shocked, then he slowly nodded his head.

"I can understand why you would want this, you are a great warrior." He
took his sword out, and I could have sworn a heavenly light had surrounded
him. I held my arms out and summoned my swords to my hands, then I looked
at Arthur. The other knights had never seen me truly summon my armor or my
swords. They backed away quickly, but then formed a wall in front of
Arthur, it was touching.

"No matter the victor of this fight no one will die, I do not wish to take
Arthur's life." Arthur moved the knights out of the way and pulled a chain
mail over his head.

"Summon your armor Jetta, I would like my men to see a holy warrior." I
smiled and summoned my armor to me, the men looked frightened.

"You know if I use this armor I will move faster than your eyes can
follow. My strength is increased beyond human standers, all of my natural
gifts are heightened." Arthur nodded and waved his hand toward the
courtyard. We moved to the courtyard and stood before a large crowd that
was gathering.

"J what the hell are you doing, you two can't fight." I looked at Kevin and
waved him off, then smiled to Arthur. He looked at me and smiled wildly as
he charged toward me, he had so many flaws in his attack. I moved
effortlessly to right, but he changed his attack and moved to the right
with me. I flipped backward so his sword would miss it's mark, which would
have been my leg. He wasn't trying to really to hurt me, but this was a
fight of honor. We were both out to prove who was stronger, who was the
greater warrior. I had to give him credit, he was countering every move I
made. His fighting style was messy but it worked for him. I had yet to try
and attack him, he had managed to keep me on defense. I decided it was time
I took advantage of my armor, so I jumped up as highly as I could. I landed
on top of the castle wall, Arthur looked a little irritated.

"You do a wonderful job when you're on the attack. Let's see how you do
when you have to defend yourself." I jumped high into the air using the sun
to blind Arthur from my attack, I had no problem seeing him. He wasn't a
fool, he had jumped backward until I had touched the ground. I began my
attack on him, he was doing a pretty good job, but he left his side open. I
made it look like I was going for his side knowing him well enough to know
it was a fake. When he blocked I spun spinning my blade toward this throat,
I stopped one inch from his skin.

"I didn't see that one coming Jetta, very well done, it seems you are the
better warrior." I shook my head, it wasn't true, my armor gave me the edge
that I needed. He had fought me without any armor, he could have won if I
had no holy armor and I knew that.

"No, my lord, it is you who is the greater warrior, thank you for the
match. I'm sorry to be so short but I must speak with Merlin in private, I
bid you farewell." Arthur nodded lightly and I ran back into the castle,
then up to Merlin's tower. I was grateful that he was alone, I then shed my
armor.

"I need to ask you a favor, it's really important." Merlin looked at with
those old sad eyes like he already knew what my request would be.

"You do realize that if I break the last link to Nick you will never regain
that part of your soul. When you die you will become a lost soul, and you
will never enter heaven or hell. Nick won't have that problem since his
half was joined by his true soul. Jetta, you are a great warrior, and
deserve so much more than what you have received." I looked at him and
nodded slowly, it was the only way I could live with myself. I couldn't
stand the thought of ending Nick's life when I died. It had been on my mind
since my fight with the god named after my son. Even now I wondered if that
god had been my son. I was thinking about asking Merlin, but I didn't know
if I could handle the truth.

"I know Merlin, but I could very well die when we return to my time. I
don't want to cost Nick his life, he is far to important. I have never
really belonged anywhere, while Nick has a place in time. My death will
come and go, if I'm doomed to walk the earth forever so be it." Merlin
nodded then moved toward me with amazing speed for a man his age.

"I will do what you want, but know that there will be other prices to pay."
I nodded and closed my eyes as Merlin began chanting. I had never heard the
languish before, it must have been from before my time. Then I started
feeling a small amount of pain in my chest. I opened my eyes to see
Merlin's body glowing with a blue light, my own body was doing the same. We
had both lifted off the ground, the blue light seemed to flow back and
forth. He wasn't doing what I had asked him, he was trying to do something
else. I also found that I couldn't move, Merlin had a small smile on his
face. The pain in my chest got stronger, and I heard the door behind us
open. I could feel that it was Nick, he was being drawn into this. I let
the scream in my throat rip free as did everyone else in the room. I felt
something enter my chest then leave my body. Then something else filled my
chest, this time the pain was to much. I saw dots floating through my
vision, then everything went dark, it was peaceful. When I woke up I felt
different, I didn't feel empty anymore, I felt whole like I was complete. I
looked around to see the others waking up, along with Brian's tear streaked
face. He was holding my hand and yelling at everyone else to do something,
he was panicking.

"I'm fine Bri, so are the others, or at least I think their all right." He
looked down at me, then kissed me. I broke away from him then looked at
Merlin, he was starting to stand up.

"I know you didn't do what I asked, well not exactly what I asked. What did
you do Merlin, I don't feel the same, I feel better and I should feel
worse?" I had confused Brian, but he was starting to catch on that I had
meant to do myself harm.

"I couldn't let you become a lost soul, you've done to much for me to
simply allow that to happen. So I did what you asked and made sure Nick
would never again suffer from anything that happened to you. Now on the
other hand I couldn't just let you go, so I gave you half of my soul." I
felt odd and didn't really know how to reply to his kindness. I could now
enter heaven, but Merlin would become a lost soul, doomed to travel earth
for the rest of time. I stood up slowly and shook my head, I couldn't let
him do this to himself.

"It's to late to undo, I'm sorry but you'll have to live with it. Now you
should know that there is still a price to this. I told you before that
there would be, only now the price has changed slightly. The spell I've
been working on for you is complete, and in my words it was perfect. The
spell will send you back to your time, and you will all regain the years
you've lost here. Well, now Jetta will not regain those years, he is
outside of time so to speak. The others will regain what they've lost, but
you Jetta will remain the same. I've also decided to ask you to stay for
the war, since it won't matter anyway. When I send you back it will be as
if you were never here. Only you will still carry half of my soul along
with you. I had to make sure that my last spell stood outside of time. So
now you all understand, so shall we begin preparations for the war?" I
looked at him with amazement and confusion, he had lost his mind.

"Sure, might as well get ready to fight, I could use this to get the
violence out of my system." I smiled at Brian, he looked worried and I
could see the questions behind his eyes. He knew what had happened now, and
he was starting to understand why I had wanted it. He started to speak up
but I placed my finger on his lips and shook my head. Later that night as I
laid beside Brian, I listened as he tried to talk. I could tell that he was
having a problem telling me what he had on his mind.

"Jetta, why do you want to make sure that if you die Nick doesn't?" I took
a deep breath and looked at Brian, his eyes held so much pain.

"Because I don't know if I'll be alive much longer, and I don't want Nick
die because I have to die. Let's not pretend that I'm going to make it
through my battles without death. When we go back, I'm going to die one way
or another. At least this way Nick doesn't share the same fate. Brian, I'm
going to have to fight my own son, and he is my son. He doesn't remember
me, but that doesn't mean I don't love him. I know that when we get back,
he'll kill me and I can't even raise my hand to fight him." His eyes now
looked distant, it was like he was trying to decided something.

"I can't let you do that Jetta, maybe you should stay here where's it's
safe. I could stay with you, and we could live a good life together. We
could be really happy here, just think about it." I stopped him with a
kiss, his body shook lightly as the tears fell from his eyes.

"You know we can't do that, it would change history. I have my destiny, as
you have yours, let's just enjoy the time we have left." Brian nodded and
moved closer to my body, he rested his head just below mine.

The next morning I woke up to an empty bed, the sun was just starting to
rise. I knew something was wrong the second my head left the pillow. There
wasn't a sound coming from anywhere, I had a really bad feeling. I jumped
out of the bed and ran toward the window, a mistake I won't make again. I
jumped out of the way just in time to dodge a ball of fire. When I regained
my footing I turned to see the room in flames and no real escape. Even with
my armor my head would still catch fire and I would die anyway. I looked at
the window and wondered if I could make it through without being hit. I
peaked out the window, all looked clear so I leaped out. I summoned my
armor only seconds before my feet touched the ground. The earth shook below
me, and looked around for my friends. I could see Nick and Merlin on top of
a tower launching fire balls one after another. What surprised me was that
Nick didn't have on any of my armor. I guessed that it was finally over, he
was free of me. I looked around the castle, the others were fighting the
intruders. Brian hadn't seen me yet, or the flames coming from our room
with the others. What I didn't understand was why I didn't hear any of this
happening, it was so sudden. I jumped upward reaching the wall and then I
jumped over the wall and down to the ground. I planned on attacking this
little army from behind, not jumping into another army all together. They
looked surprised to see me, well I was surprised to see them.

"Well, it's kind of odd running into you here. I guess you plan on helping
the guys in the front, sorry but you stop here." I raised my hands and my
swords came to me only seconds later, I charged forward. None of the men
made it to the front lines to help the others that were now being
defeated. There was only one small problem, I had gotten a small cut on the
side of my fore head. The blood was interfering with my sight so I couldn't
move at my normal pace. That didn't stop me from attacking the men
attacking from the front, they didn't last long but I had gained another
gash on the side of my face. I knew that it wouldn't scar, it wasn't deep
enough. When I reentered the castle all of the guys were surprised to see
me. Brian ran up to me and wrapped his arms around me, he was crying
heavily. I had forgotten about the room and almost dying in the flames, and
I had forgotten Brian. All I had thought about was stopping these men from
making it into the castle.

"I'm all right, I made it out the window then went over the wall to attack
them from behind. I ran into a small army that was supposed to be
reinforcements for the frontal attack. I'm sorry that I worried you, I
should have made sure you knew I was ok." Brian looked up slightly and the
site shook me to my core. His beautiful blue eyes were like oceans of
sadness. He loved me with every fiber of his being, and I didn't know if I
felt the same. I loved him that I knew without a shadow of doubt, but I
didn't know if I loved him as much as he loved me.

"When I looked back toward our room, all I could see were flames. Then I
looked to Nick, and he didn't have the armor on, I thought that you were
burning to death. We decided to get up early so we could help Arthur plan
his defense and attack. Then all hell broke lose, we ran out and started
fighting, then I turned back, the window was filled with flames." Now I
understood everything, so I hadn't really missed anything. I had woken up
just before the attack, then everything started happening.

"We should get ready and go on the attack, if we keep defending we're going
to lose." Brian nodded slowly, but something was behind his eyes, I just
couldn't tell what. I walked with the others to the thrown room, Arthur was
waiting for us.

"We should attack now, do your men know where their camp is?" Arthur nodded
slowly, but like Brian there was something in his eyes. I pushed my worries
out of my mind and turned around to talk with the other knights. I planned
the attack and Arthur and I would lead the men into battle. Hours later we
were ready to attack, and I had to admit the army he had was
impressive. The other army was still a lot bigger, and the men looked to be
better trained. I was a little worried about Brian and the others, they had
been trained but still they lacked a great deal of power.

"I'll go in by myself at first I want to take as many of them out as I
can." Arthur looked at me and shook his head, he was ready to fight.

"I know what you can do, but I also know that you're still human. You still
have blood on your face, and I know it's yours. So we go together, there is
no need to die in this war if you don't have to." I smiled and agreed, I
just hoped that his men didn't get in my way while I was on the attack. So
we went together, Brian was at my side along with the others. Each held a
shield, and what I hadn't noticed until now was that there was a seal on
the shield. It was the mark of the Libra, it touched me that they took this
upon themselves. Nick was standing with Merlin, he was wearing his own
armor since mine no longer helped him. Arthur screamed charge at the top of
his lungs and everyone ran forward. I was further ahead then the rest of
the men, not much but enough. I didn't worry about cutting men in half as I
ran into battle.

The fighting seemed to last forever, and I couldn't use my full strength. I
had to watch over my friends while I fought. That and I had to make sure I
wasn't attacking one of Arthur's men while I fought. I saw an arrow flying
straight for Brian's head, in seconds I had knocked him to the ground. He
looked dazed until he looked at me, then fear raced over his face.

"Your throat it's bleeding, oh god, we have to get you to a doctor." I
stopped him, he had to remember that there weren't any real doctors here.

"It's just a small cut, it'll heal and I'll be fine." I stood back up and
pulled Brian with me, only I was starting to get dizzy. I put my hand on my
throat to find it wasn't such a small cut after all. Then there were black
dots in my vision, I hit my knees seconds later. There was something in my
throat, and it was getting harder to breath. I felt hands on my arms and
legs, then I was being lifted into the air. I could feel movement as some
people carried me away from the battle.

"I can't do anything for him, not with his armor on, I'm sorry Brian." The
voices were getting distant, and I knew I had to let the armor go so I
did. That was the last thing I remembered as the darkness took hold of my
soul. There was light coming from everywhere, but I turned away from it. I
looked back into the darkness knowing somewhere out there my body was
waiting for me.

****Nick

I stood beside Brian, as Merlin tried his best to save Jetta. He had taken
an arrow to his throat when he had shoved Brian out of the way. Merlin was
shaking his head as he tried everything he knew to help him. Brian's eyes
looked distant and shocked, he had to know that this didn't look to good. I
don't even know if the doctors in our time could have helped him any. His
skin was as pale as mine was, and his skin looked something like
wax. Merlin stood slowly and looked at Brian, his eyes told me what I
needed to know.

"I've done all I can Brian, it's up to him now, but I will say that it
doesn't look good." Brian nodded slowly then moved to Jetta's side, I
hadn't seen him so heart broken in my whole life.

"Wait, what if you send us back, it'll be like this never happened Jetta
will be fine." Merlin shook his head slowly, Jetta was outside of time now,
nothing could save him. I moved my hand to my throat and thought that it
could have been both of us dying now. Jetta had made sure that wouldn't
happen to me, now I wished that he hadn't. I had fallen in love with him
over our time together, and apart. He wasn't the only one I loved, I loved
Brian as well and this was killing me. To see one man that I loved dying
and the other in so much pain.

"Brian, I'm here for you if you need me, I'll be with Merlin." Brian didn't
even look up he just looked at Jetta's body. Merlin pulled me outside of
the tent and led me to a more active place. Just because Jetta had died
didn't mean the war had stopped, it continued. I stood with Merlin and
launched fire balls at the other army, they were losing. That was thanks to
Jetta, he had killed at least a hundred men alone. Now he was dying, in
some ways he was taking Arthur's place in death. It made sense, that if one
true hero was to live another had to die. The worst part was that it
wouldn't matter in the end, because we would have never existed here. So
now the world lost two hero's in one battle that should have only taken
one. I promised myself that I would find a way to honor Jetta and his
death. I already had an idea about how to go about it, I would find Coran
and tell him the truth. I had heard Brian and Jetta talking that night, and
I knew what he said was true. So at least if I could tell Coran the truth
he would know how great his father really was. I heard Brian scream out
from the tent, and my heart ached with knowledge that I now had. The battle
was ending, and Arthur was still alive, I could see him in the clearing. A
few hours later the battle stopped and all of the knights gathered in a
great hall.

Brian wasn't with the rest of us, he was with Jetta's body. I hadn't looked
at Jetta's body since we had gotten back. When I had returned to the tent
before we left the battle ground I had found that Jetta was dead. Brian
refused to leave his body even for a second. He kept saying that he knew
Jetta would come back, but we knew it wasn't true.

"Today many of our friends and brothers died, but now we stand in
victory. Among the warriors to fall was the greatest warrior I have ever
had pleasure of meeting. So for our lost friends and brothers, let us have
a moment of silence." I closed my eyes and knelt my head downward, I had a
weird feeling wash over my body. It was like the wind had decided to dance
on my spine. I opened my eyes to see nothing, it was just so strange. I
looked to the others, Kevin had tears falling down his face as did the
others. We left the other knights to go see Brian, he was in Merlin's tower
with Jetta's body. When we entered the room we were in for a surprise,
Brian wasn't in the tower, neither was Jetta.

"I couldn't stop him without hurting him, I'm sorry, but he took Jetta's
body and left." I ran out of the room and down the tower, I had an idea
where he was. I could hear the others following me as I entered what once
had been our room. I could see Brian sitting in the middle of the room with
Jetta's body. He was holding onto him like a lifeline to his heart.

"Brian, come on man, don't lose it on us now, we need you." He looked up at
Kevin, his eyes were red and puffy and still had tears falling.

"I need him, I really need him Kevin, I need him to come back to me. This
is my fault, if I hadn't been in the way he wouldn't have gotten himself
killed." I closed my eyes briefly then moved to Brian's side, he just
looked up at me.

"Brian it isn't your fault, you know that in your heart. He wouldn't want
you to do this to yourself, he loved you." Brian slowly nodded and released
Jetta's body, but his body didn't move. I guess the muscles were starting
to get hard and freeze up. That was until the wind in the room picked up,
it wasn't a normal wind it had strength. The wind seemed to have some
strange power over Jetta's body as the eyes opened up. Merlin walked into
the room that very moment, his eyes were wide with confusion. Jetta's eyes
glowed brightly with what looked like a blue light, then it all
stopped. Jetta's body fell back and Merlin fell as well.

"He's not gone, I don't understand it, how could he hold on after this much
time has passed?" Merlin looked so upset and confused it had me worried.

"Then there must be a way, but how could I bring someone back to life, I'm
not god, I haven't that power?" Brian's eyes were starting light up as he
listened to Merlin. Even I couldn't help the total amount of joy I was
starting to feel, now there was hope. Merlin was moving around his room
like a rabbit searching for food. When He finally stopped moving around the
room he had what looked like a very old scroll. He had a huge smile on his
face as he read the scroll then he looked toward Brian.

"There might be a way to bring him back since he's still holding
on. There's only one problem, I can't really help you with it. You see
you're going to have to go back to your own time for this to work, and I
can't follow you there. Now on top of that you're going to have to talk a
god into giving you ambrosia. I don't really see that happening, so in some
ways it's hopeless to even try. To add to this, you only have four days to
get the ambrosia into his system." Merlin looked at me, his eyes told a lot
more than his words did. He didn't believe that there was ever any real
hope.

"How is Jetta holding on, I mean it doesn't really make any sense." Merlin
looked at me, and for a split second I could see that he had been trying to
hide something.

"When I gave Jetta half of my soul it did more than make him whole
again. It made him more than human, more like me in some ways, but that's a
good thing. It's given him the power to stay on earth, I only fear that he
can't follow you back. I'm sure he can hear and see everything were doing
right now, or at least I hope so. If he can't follow you back, he may have
to just travel back to the place where all this started. What I mean is he
would have to wait in the place where you left until you returned. That's a
long time for a sprit to fend for itself, he is in danger while he's
without a body. He is in some ways what I feared he would become, a lost
soul. In that he will be hunted by both demons and angels. The angel's to
drag him to heaven, and the demons to drag him to hell. After all a soul is
just that, a soul for the taking, I fear he may not make it back. All I can
do is send you back to your time with Jetta's body, after that the rest is
left up to you, and Jetta. If he can survive, and you can get the ambrosia,
then he has a chance. Other wise, all is lost now and forever, so shall we
start, or do you want to wait a little longer?" Everyone was ready to go, I
just prayed that Jetta was with us when we left. Merlin nodded and then
knelt his head down slightly looking at his hands as he spoke softly. A
pool of light was starting to form in the center of the room, it was blue
as the sky. Merlin nodded toward us then pointed to the portal when it was
the size of a door. Kevin and Brian picked Jetta's body up and went through
the portal, the others followed I stayed behind.

"I wanted to thank you for everything you've taught me, it's really meant a
lot to me." Merlin smiled and pulled me in for a hug, then pushed me gently
toward the portal.

*****Venus

I had watched them all disappear in the blue light, I was happy for
once. Coran was looking around the area, he looked really confused.

"Mother, are you still there mother, where are you?" I looked around to see
my son standing in the gateway to my prison.

"I'll set you free, then we can start doing things the right way again." I
had never known that my son had cared so much for me. Now seconds after I
had used my powers to send Jetta back I was being rewarded. My son
shattered the crystal that had held me for so long. I could feel my
strength returning to me, it was like I had never used any of my power to
help Jetta.

"We must hurry there is a great deal of work to be done, take me to Coran."
He nodded and we both faded away like ghost, soon I was standing behind
Coran.

"Coran, we really need to have a nice long talk you and I." Coran spun
around and looked at me, he looked shocked to see me free.

"I don't know how you got out but I'm going to send you back." I laughed at
him, he couldn't hurt me if he wanted to.

"I'm a full god, I was born a god, you on the other hand, you were born
human." That was when a pool of blue light started forming. Four men ran
through, they were caring a lifeless body with them. The light was far to
bright to see who they were, but I was ready to fight them just
yet. Seconds later another person came running through the gate, then the
light faded.

I could see it was the men I had sent back with Jetta, only now they were
dressed differently. I looked at the body and my heart started aching
seconds later, it looked like Jetta only older and dead. I moved to his
body, but four men stood in the way like guards. Each had a sword and
behind them, stood a man with a fire ball in his hand, he didn't look
happy.

"Stay away unless you're here to help, and I don't think any of you really
want to help." The man that held half of Jetta's soul was now talking, but
I found this confusing. I moved closer knowing I could simply knock the
swords aside and catch the ball of fire. I knelt down and looked at Jetta's
body, he had been dead for less than twenty-four hours. The only thing was
he had aged so much while the others looked the same as the day they had
left.

"How could this happen, he was the greatest warrior I had ever known? How
are you still alive, you share the same soul, how is it you live while he
died?" I couldn't understand this, and I couldn't stand the thought that
Jetta had still been cheated.

"He had a friend make sure I wouldn't die because he did, he tried to make
himself a lost soul. But the wizard wouldn't let that happen, so he gave
Jetta half of his soul. So me and Jetta are no longer connected to one
another, it was his choice." I looked at the boy, he wasn't lying, I could
see it in his eyes, and hear it in his heart.

To Be Continued......Maybe
