Plot Summary[]
Capris attacks Jackie and the two begin to fight. Jackie questions her why did she do it. Capris answers that after Jackie became a weak host, the Darkness sought her. Seduced by its powers, Capris went on to wage war against her brother. She then summons an army of Darklings and sends them against Jackie. The Darklings notice Aram, but ignore him. Aram urges Jackie to not use the crystallized arm yet and wait for the right moment to strike. As he passes Elle, she pleads Aram to help Jackie. Aram answers that if he cancels Darkness effects, Elle will disappear forever. Realizing that she will soon anyway, Elle urges Aram to cancel the Darkness. Aram then asks her to touch his arm. As Elle touches his arm she turns to dust.
Meanwhile, Aram remembers his past. Back when he was a Darkness wielder, he conquered many land and killed thousands of people. Realizing how many life's he destroyed in the name of the Darkness, Aram decides to never use it's power again. Angered by his actions, the Darkness curses Aram to forever wander the world until he lets in the Darkness back into himself.
In the present, Capris is confused when she loses her powers. Using this chance, Jackie proceeds to drive his crystallized arm through her sister's chest, instantly killing her. Cancelling the Darkness weakens and ages Aram. He then gives Jackie the Sun Dagger and reveals that if he wants to completely destroy the Darkness, he needs to kill himself and go to its realm to confront it. Jackie can't bring himself to take his own life and Aram leaves, saying that eventually he will do it.
Some time later, Jackie has moved in to live with Sara. One morning he's woken up by the Darkness. The Darkness mocks him and threatens to take Hope as its new host. Finally, Jackie decides to go and confront the Darkness. He takes the Sun Dagger and stabs himself into his chest. To be continued...
