Summary: Jestro is told the truth by Merlok
Chapter 15 Chapter 17
Chapter 16: Burst out the Truth
"Merlok" Jestro said running in the Fortrex and heading to the control room and ran into Clay practicing his magic with Merlok. "Jestro you okay?" Clay asked noticing Jestro shaking "Merlok could you do a scan something happened outside and I need to know if something is still in me" Merlok nodded and scanned Jestro "You seem fine my boy, well nothing Monstrous in your bones" Merlok said but Jestro seemed confused "Hey Jestro what happened"
"Well I wanted to think to myself so I went outside, I um punched a tree and the lightning kicked up a lot so I started to run back here, but then the lightning hit a tree and it feels in front of me, the lightning was about to hit me, so I put my hands up and yelled no then all of a sudden the tree trunk that fell was suddenly above me and took the hit, my hands where glowing pink. So I wanted to see if it was Monstruxs magic still in me but I guess another tree fell before hand and the first one just burned quicker?" Jestro said as he tried to figure out everything and Merlok looks away from the both of them
"Jestro Monstrux isn't in you anymore, you might have some left over magic from him though maybe Merlok can take it out" Clay said trying to calm Jestro down, but then he noticed Merlok mumbling to himself "Um Merlok? What's going on" Clay asked worried Merlok knows more then he's letting on
"Look Jestro, and Clay I think you two are tired so I think its best you get some rest, maybe you where hallucinating and-" Jestro clenched his fists and interrupted Merlok "NO, What do you know, I want answers about myself, I don't know anything so Tell me WHAT DO YOU KNOW" Merlok was getting worried "Jestro my boy, breathe we can talk about this" But the jester didn't want to calm down "NO I WANT YOU TO TELL ME WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT ME, I KNOW YOU KNOW MORE THEN YOU SAY!" Merlok was getting scared now "Jestro My Boy-" Jestro yelled louder "YOU DON'T GET TO CALL ME THAT LIKE YOU DIDN'T ABANDON ME" Suddenly a big burst of magic came from Jestro and his eyes and hands where glowing out of anger and Clay got knocked back
"CLAY oh my gosh I'm so sorry" He helped Clay up but once Clay was fine Jestro ran to his room "Jestro wait" Merlok looked away feeling guilty and mumbled "I should have told him sooner" But Clay heard what he said making Clay upset "What, what do you mean you should have told him sooner?" Merlok was worried Clay was going to yell as well "Look Clay I can explain everything, but I didn't know how to tell Jestro" Clay got more upset "Why not just say he's magic if you where so worried, what's going on Merlok" Merlok sighed and gave the answer straight "Jestro, is magic just like you Clay but his magic works differently, I wanted to train him but I thought I was wrong about his magic so I stopped and trained you"
"You abandoned him just because you thought you were wrong about his magic?" Merlok looked shocked Clay saw it like that "No Clay that's not what it was meant to be seen as I just thought that if I stopped teaching him he would have given up on wanting to learn magic" Clay got more upset "What kind of magic does he have? ANSWER ME" Merlok looked scared "His magic is tied to his emotions, and it tries to protect him but it can be dangerous if not taught correctly, I was hoping he didn't have that magic but when nothing else worked I was scared that was it so I told myself he didn't have magic and then I forgot about it for the rest of the school years until now" Clay looks more upset and walked off going to find Jestro "Once I get him back in here you will tell him everything you know
~
Macy found Clay and was worried "Clay there was a big blast a moment ago, it didn't hurt us but what if its Monstrux" Clay held Macys arms and in a cold voice he told her "It was Jestro, he's magic please don't scare him though" Macy nodded and went to tell the others and Clay got to Jestros room hearing him crying until Clay knocked on the door "Who is it?" Jestro asked trying to breath "Jestro, its me Clay, can I come in I want to make sure your okay" Jestro was worried though and looked at his hands but he let Clay in anyways
"I'm sorry for hurting you, I wish I could explain myself but I can't... What if-" Clay stopped him knowing what he was going to say "Jestro, it's not Monstrux... it was all from you" Jestro looked more scared and Clay realized he worded it wrong "No I didn't mean it in a bad way I know you didn't mean to hurt me I mean, Merlok told me your magic" Jestro looks shocked and Clay gently grabbed and interlocked his hands with his own
"He said there tied to your emotions and try to keep you safe" Jestro thought for a moment and was shaking again 'what if my magic hurts someone' Clay sensing Jestros fear pulled him into a hug "Its okay we'll figure it out together" Jestro hugged him back and started crying again and Clay stayed until Jestro was ready.
~
The whole group was in the control room in silence "So Merlok, what do you know about my magic?" Jestro asked standing next to Clay "Well Jestro, your magic is connected to your emotions, but it can also try and keep you safe from dying, but if your emotions or magic get out of hand it can hurt others around you it has happened with other emotional magic users before, there's no limit with what the magic does to protect you" Jestro stayed silent before his next question "Did you know I was magic"
Merlok nodded before speaking "I sensed the magic in your body, but when I trained you the magic didn't come out like I hoped so I did other ways trying to avoid the emotional ones, but when nothing worked I was scared so I slowly stopped training you, lowering the times you see me until, you didn't need to see me anymore and when I was training Clay" Jestro got Jealous of the fact Merlok trained Clay more then him but kept it to himself and had one final question
"What do you know about my parents?" Merlok looked scared and answered "I don't know Jestro, that's something I was never able to find out, I'm sorry you didn't have parents when you were growing up." Jestro looked away "Alright thank you..." He started to walk off when Clay got an idea "Wait why don't you train me and Jestro together, that way he can learn to use his magic with me?" Merlok thought and nodded "Its up to Jestro" The jester never thought about training his magic, he just wanted answers no he nodded as well "When do we start"
"Tomorrow night after dinner" Merlok said "And Jestro I'm sorry if I felt like I abandoned you" Jestro didn't say anything and still hurt from it so he walked off into the bedrooms "Hes still mad at me?" Clay nodded then Macy spoke up "I would be hurt too if a magical wizard gave up on me for my best friend no offense to you Clay" Clay smiled a bit then Macy also walked off wanting to talk to Clay
"When you were training with Merlok, Jestro told me how he felt about it, but I'm not going to tell you, that's his story to tell but, I wanted to be there for him" Clay smiled and hugged Macy "Thank you for being there for him" Macy smiled then feels regret "But me and Jestro feel apart when I was doing better in school and we stopped talking even when he was performing for me and my parents, he just stopped" Clay's smiled faltered hearing that "I'm going to talk to him can you make sure the others try to understand the situation" Macy nods and goes to talk with the others
~
"Jestro you in your room?" Clay knocked and the door opened as Jestro put back on his Jester hat "Come in Clay" He said trying to seem like nothing just happened "So what do you wanna talk about Clay" Clay can tell he's holding in his emotions "You don't have to hold your emotions just because of your magic" Jestro looks confused, he might hurt someone if he cant control his magic "But someone might get hurts"
"Jestro, holding in your emotions isn't good for you, I get you don't wanna hurt someone but your hurting your mental health if you hold in everything" Jestro looked away "I'm taking therapy though shouldn't I be fixed?" Clay looks at Jestro in the eyes "Jestro Therapy isn't meant to fix someone its meant to help people and it's not an immediate solution it takes some people years for them to heal from there pain" Jestro covered his face with his hands trying not to cry "what if Merlok trains you in secret, what if he abandons me again" Clay hugs Jestro and help him stay calm and in control "I wont let it happen if he tries to train me in secret I'll let you know immediately, I'm not training without you"
Jestro looks at Clays eyes and smiles feeling better "thanks I needed to hear that it feels nice knowing someone wont leave me" Clay kept jestro in a hug "So why did you put on your jester hat when I came in, I know what your hair looks like" Jestro took it off and feels weird about the white streaks "The others don't know about the white streaks, what if they saw it, I already don't like my appearance enough the hair is just a bigger reminder of the mistake I made" Jestro puts the hat back on "well if it makes you feel better I think you look great no matter what appearance you have"
Jestros face heated up a bit before he said something "hehe your just saying that to make me feel better" Clay smiled and reassured him its how he really feels "If someone cant see your beauty they don't deserve you" Clay left the room so Jestro can think 'Clay's the only one I can really talk to, I feel like myself with him, I wanna be with him... does he even like me like that though? I cant simply be fixed this is going to take time' Jestro got ready for bed to rest from the crazy day he had
~
"Montrux please give us more time to find the Jester, we went to the towns we sensed him in but we got attacked by the citizens" The Acid monsters begged to Monstrux "I need that Jester GO OUT AND FIND HIM one more chance don't return until you have him" Suddenly the blast caught up to them and Monstrux felt it and knew it was Jestro "He found out... Impossible his magic, its emotional" He smiled and let out a horrible laugh "I can use his emotions against him Find the Jester before he learns to use his Magic NOW" The acid monsters leave to find jestro and Ruinas comes by "Sir you cant control this magic, he has to work with you in order for you to control it, and he doesn't wanna work with you, you cant win in a fight his magic protects him" Monstrux walks off ignoring the warning
Yay Jestro finds out he's magic I might make a claytro fic next or just a post about Jestro... Again

Summary: The Knights try to get Clay to meditate and calm down
Chapter 2 Chapter 4
Chapter 3: Calming the Rage
The knights have been defending towns from Monstrux, but Clay's vicious anger sometimes gets in the way doing more harm than good. The other knights do their best to stop him, but he sometimes hurts them as well, Jestro has tried to talk to him but Clay keeps insisting he's doing what's right even if someone gets hurt. To Clay, as long as Jestro is safe and Monstrux looses then that's all that matters in the end.
~
While Jestro was checking his ankle and was able to try and walk again, Macy came in and Jestro got her attention "Macy, Ma'am I wanna talk to you about Clay" Macy looked at Jestro wanting to talk about Clay as well "Same here, have you talked to Clay?" Jestro nodded "But he doesn't listen, He keeps saying he just wants me to be safe but I feel like he's being too overprotective of me, I don't know why though"
Clay comes in and notices Jestro standing without his crutches "Where's your crutches Jestro?" He asked with stubbornness in his voice "Well its been 6 weeks and it feels fine now" Clay looks at the ankle to try and see if it still has any issues but couldn't find any "Ugh fine but still keep the bandage around it just in case"
"Wait Clay I wanna talk to you about your anger" Macy said to Clay "My anger is keeping us alive, and it keeps the towns safe" He says not liking where this could go "But I heard you caused some harm from the towns people, maybe your stressed and should Meditate, or find other ways to fight that doesn't cause any harm" Jestro said hoping Clay would listen to him and Clay sighed "Alright we will Meditate" Macy and Jestro's nerves, calmed down hearing that
~
"Alright now Clay its best to sit criss-cross and have your arms and hands like this" Lance said showing a demonstration and Clay copied and went along with it "Now relax your mind and clear the anger in your heart" Clay was relaxing for once "Breathe in and out" Clay got into a meditative state and everything was calm for once
The knights and Jestro left Clay alone to meditate "Finally he's relaxing and we can relax and not worry" Macy said "And He can stop following Jestro around like a bodyguard" Arron said and Jestro let out a sarcastic laugh "But why does he protect Jestro but not us?" Lance wonders "Does he have some anger against us?" Jestro shrugged "I really don't know myself and I wonder why he chose me to protect instead of you guys, I've done so much damage that I regret doing"
"Well maybe Clay will tell us one day or this will blow over when Merlok finds a spell or we defeat Monstrux" Arron said patting Jestro's back and Axl stomach grumbled "I didn't have 2nd lunch" Everyone chuckled and headed to the kitchen
~
Hours later the monster alarm goes off and Monstrux is attacking nearby "Whats going on?" Jestro asked still shocked from the alarm going off "Jestro go tell Clay we'll handle this alright" Macy said not wanting Clay in the fight just yet but when Jestro went to find Clay he wasn't there "Guys I can't find Clay" Everyone looks scared "Keep looking, we'll make sure he's not in a fight just yet"
~
Clay was fighting the monsters and easily destroying them and he saw the Cloud of Monstrux and instead of helping the citizens he went after the Cloud and was attacked by Ruina but he didn't stop until the knights used a rope to pull him back down "Clay what are you doing, get back to the Fortrex, we'll-" Before Arron could finish Clay pushed them all off and threw his sword at the cloud and that caused him to get hurt badly and become smaller and unable to do anything and before Clay could finish the job the other Knights got on top of him
"We gotta go" The small cloud said as they escaped and Clay tried to go after them but the others kept him back "Clay buddy we know you want to kill the cloud but you didn't try and help the town, you let your desire to-" Clay snapped and grabbed Arron by the collar "I'm doing my job, I'll destroy the cloud myself if I have too" Macy tried to get Clay's attention "Our job is to defend the realm, we don't have a plan for defeating Monstrux but he doesn't have the key to winning we do, Clay please remember who you are, the knights code" Clay didn't wanna listen and threw Arron to the ground and headed back to the Fortrex
"I guess Meditating made it worse, I want our Clay back, sure he was annoying but, he wasn't like this and actually wanted to defend the towns" Lance said with sadness before following behind Clay
~
"I need to find a cure quickly, Clay's out of control" Merlok said trying to find something before Clay came in "I wont want to change back until we defeat this cloud of Monstrux, it will be useless if we don't have someone trying to destroy them" Everyone looked shocked at Clay and everyone tried to protest before Clay pushed them all back "I made my choice" Clay walked out of the room and Jestro helped the others up "I'm sorry I didn't know this would happen or I would have never came with you guys" Arron spoke up trying to explain "Its not your fault, none of us could have known this would have happened and if you didn't come with us, we wouldn't know about Mount ThunderStrux or why the Forbidden powers are so important"
Macy nodded in agreement "And Monstrux might have found you again and forced you into evil, but we need a cure soon before he does something dangerous" Jestro nodded "Ill help any other way I can" Macy smiled "Well lets rest up, we'll need it for next time we need to fight"
Ok next chapter will have more claytro (kinda) so yay

Summary: The knights head into a stormy town and the Storm knocks out the fortrex's power
Chapter 14 Fun Story 1 Chapter 16
Chapter 15: Storms Coming
Jestro was fighting some stone and Acid monsters during a big horrible storm and anytime lighting struck he flinched badly the closer it was to hitting him, but he kept fighting until Clay came in and noticed Jestro literally shaking "Jestro I know you want to face your fears of thunder and lighting but you have to stop putting the Holo trainer at lever 10, its going to make it worse"
The Holo trainer turned off and the squire bots fell over "Sorry Clay I just don't wanna be a wimp or coward if we ever fight during a real lightning storm what kind of knight am I if I flinch at lightning?" Jestro said getting up and practicing his stabbing with his spear "I understand but you push yourself a lot and your not a coward Jestro, its natural to have fears even if there not like other fears" Jestro sighed and stretched a bit "Now lets see how Ava's doing with Merlok" Clay says grabbing Jestros hand and bringing him out of the Holo trainer
~
The two got to the control room while talking, waiting for the others "You train at level 10, why can't I?" Clay sighed trying to explain "Cause I've been training from the lower levels working my way up, its not the same as pushing yourself too hard, everyone starts somewhere, I just wanna make sure your okay Jestro that's all" Jestro nodded and the rest of the knights headed in
"Ava what do you want I was getting a nice massage from Denis?" Lance asked still having facial cream on him "Well Mister Rich, we have some news about the next town we are heading to, StormTon, and its not called that cause its cool, The town has a 20 mile radius of never ending storms happening so we have to be careful" Ava started typing some things out and Merlok spoke up "Dont worry Ava I wont hit a single lightning bolt" Robin looking at the data spoke up as well "that's not the only problem, apparently when it night out in that storm the lightning gets worse, but most people have survived it"
"Well then we just cant be out at night so TO STORMTON" The Fortrex started moving into the Storm to get to town, heavy rain was hitting the Fortrex hard. "Ah rain, it's nice to be under a roof when we have rain, I'm gonna finish my Massage and wax my armor" Lance said leaving the control room. "Jestro are you okay" Arron asked and Jestro just nodded not sharing much "Well alright then but we're here if you wanna talk"
~
Hours passed and the Fortrex reached the town. "Alright so remember, you knights tell the citizens about the monster attacks and give them some training" Robin said before the knights got out of the Fortrex. Once they stepped out the rain hit all of them hard. "Aw man this will mess up my luscious hair" Jestro looked at Lance with a bit of annoyance "Your hair is covered with your helmet Richmond" Jestro said "I'm just telling the truth" Lance scoffed and talked back "Well the rain could get in my helmet somehow and mess up my beautiful hair, rain is only great when your inside, ah how I remember those days of my youth watching the rain while relaxing in my room" Jestro felt a bit jealous but hid it well "Lets just do our job please"
~
The day of training the citizens have come to an end "Thank you for your help brave knights of the realm I hope your travel out of the Storm will be safe" The mayor said watching them head back to the Fortrex. "I heard you guys did amazing in the town now go dry off before you do your chores" Ava said handing them all towels "What but we just finished training" Lance complained "Well we still have work to do around the Fortrex, Lance and its best to get it done as soon as possible" Lance groaned and grabbed the mop "I shouldn't have to do this like common folk" Jestro rolled his eyes and went to do his work as well
~
After the chores have finished Jestro went to check on the Fortrex code to see if its still running smoothly, and debugging any issues he finds, but suddenly the Fortrex gets hit by the Storm and Jestro gets scared and hides under the table trying to calm down. "What the heck happened" Axl said coming in the room seeing the power is out and noticed Jestro hiding
"You okay little guy?" Jestro forced himself to calm down "Yeah just um the Storm just startled me, that's it nothing else" Jestro lies, very scared of what's going on. Ava runs in and sees the power is out for Merlok as well "Oh geez welp we are stuck until me and Robin can get the power back on everyone don't go outside for now" Ava walks out and Jestro starts to overthink every possible bad outcome that could happen "I'm going to see if the others are okay" Jestro says while trying to breath
Jestro looked around and found Lance and Clay arguing again in the TV room "Look Lance you have to stop being so lazy and actually work like a real knight!" Clay yells tired of Lances laziness "Look relax Mr. Boring-Ton, Ill be fine if I take a little rest and maybe you should rest too Sir-Works-A-lot" The two keep arguing until Lance noticed Jestro "Ah the jester is here what's going on, you gonna tell us the obvious and that the power is out" Jestro feels embarrassed and nods "I also wanted to make sure you where okay" Jestro walks out of the room and Clay punches Lance "what did I say" Clay goes to see if he can find Jestro "You could be nicer to Jestro" Clay says before leaving.
~
After an hour the power was turned back on "Finally that took forever also we put protective shields around the Fortrex so the lightning can't damage it again" Robin says proud of himself "Now we should stay put though until morning" Ava says coming in. For the next hour the knights just trained and stayed inside but Jestro wanted to think to himself alone so, he went outside 'Why am I still thinking awful things about myself, why am I a coward' Jestro thought then started talking out loud "why am I not fixed, why am I not good enough, How come I was abandoned, WHY CAN"T I BE FIXED" He punched a tree and it hurt "ow ow ow"
The storm and lightning got worse and he realized he's far from the Fortrex so he started to run back as fast as he can avoiding the lightning strikes but freezing at times from fear, but he started to see the Fortrex then the lightning hit a tree causing it to fall in front of him and before he could jump over it a lightning strike nearly hit him "NO" The tree trunk somehow got above him and took the hit for him, his hands where glowing pink. "nono no no" He was scared. was this Monstroux's magic still in him? "Merlok" He ran inside hoping there's a cure for this
Okay this time no "Whats going on with Monstrux" As this is a 2 parter thing

Summary: The knights split to defend towns that are being attacked
Chapter 22 Chapter 24
Chapter 23: Divide
The knights have been training for hours trying to figure out how to fight the acid monsters before heading to the acid forest to finish off whoever is making them. "You guys don't think Monstrox is back right? He's the only one who could be making these acid monsters" Jestro said with fear in his voice and Clay spoke up "Then we will stop him again, this time we have you on our side which makes this better" Merlok then came onto the screen
"Everyone the acid monsters are attacking 3 different towns get ready to fight back" The knights nodded and split up "Alright well take the town on the north, you fine with that Jestro?" Arron asked as Jestro got in the vehicle "Of course, I'll even take Snottingham at this point... don't tell the others I said that" Arron laughed and started flying to the town and once they got to the town, they got attacked so Jestro fought the monsters while balancing on the jet
"Hey buddy be careful alright, don't want you falling and hitting your head" Arron threw a rope that's connected to the inside of the jet and Jestro tied it to his armor just in case something happened "Thanks Arron" Jestro said while still fighting the monsters trying to destroy the Jet "Anytime bud hang on I'm going in" Arron got the jet to go faster to make a heavy landing and Jestro got back in the cockpit "Im not dying today cause of you"
The Jet landed and the two knights started fighting and defending the town "Jestro still got the rope?" Arron asked and Jestro handed the other side of the rope to Arron "Hang on" Arron started spinning in circles and Jestro was able to attack the monsters with the spin attack and was able to finish most of them off
"Yeah that was awesome" Arron gave Jestro a high five then the replica Jestro was flying in the air and used its boosters to run off and the two knights chased him down but got to a split in the road. "Do you think we should split up?" Jestro asked not liking the situation "I have a special arrow that can cause a loud bang for anyone to hear if I get in trouble and don't you have a spell that can do the same?" Arron asked and Jestro nodded knowing what he means as they split up
~
An hour passed and neither of them have found anything of the jestro bot "Maybe he left, it would make sense But I need a clue on where he would go. Jestro said to himself then suddenly he got ambushed by multiple acid monsters "Shit, well looks like you need back up, I understand don't worry its nice having help" Jestro threw the spear into the bot and it hit the bot hard "You will return to Monstrox" The bot said using jestros own spear against him but missing multiple times while Jestro doesn't struggle with dodgeing attacks
"Your form is off, and I'm not joining that mind mess, I'm finally doing good for myself and I cant got back, I can help you with him as well" Jestro says actually worried for the bot but the bot threw him, so Jestros jester reflexes kicked in and he caught himself on one hand "Ha look at this, Im standing on one hand, maybe I needing more fights in my life then"
Jetro barely stuggled with getting the spear back and fighting, until the other acid monsters starting fighting and overpowering him and before he could say the spell to get help they tied him up and taped his mouth shut "Finally, I'll get my reward" The bot grabbed Jestro by the collar and flew off
Arron sees the bot flying away and sees Jestro all tied up, so he tried to catch up to them but one of the acid monsters attacks and takes the hover shield so Arron cant catch up to him, so Arron runs to the fortrex where the others are waiting "Jestro got taken"
~
Ruina goes up to monstox to share the news "That jester is finally taken for your plans sir" The hologram Monstrox Smiles with glee "Get that special drink ready just in case" She nods and goes to get the liquid he desires "You're finally coming home my Jestro"

Chapter 17 Chapter 19
Chapter 18: Dnullib Part 2- Secrets of Revenge
The rest of the day moved slowly and it was almost time for dinner with the knights, David was hosting the dinner with his father working on the banquet and once everyone got there food David sat with the knights "May I sit here knight Jestro?" Jestro nodded, trying to be polite despite what happened earlier in the day. Clay kept a close eye on David though and noticed Macy doing the same as well.
As they ate there were times David would "play around" and stomp on Jestro's foot knowing Jestro wouldn't say anything about it. Macy caught on and secretly stomped on David's foot, as a way to tell him to stop. Any other tricks the Mayors son had for the Jester, The red and blue knights was able to stop before it got out of hand.
After dinner the knights went to there room to relax "Hey Arron you wont mind hanging with jestro before bed right I need to talk with Macy" Clay asked The archer and he nodded "Of course bud" Arron grabbed Jestro and explained what the deal is going to be before bed
"Is Clay mad at me, did I do something wrong?" Jestro asked with his nerves starting to grow and Arron did his best to calm down "No of course not, Clay just wants to talk to Macy alone that's all" Jestro calmed down and headed upstairs with Arron and Hung out and talked before Clay was finished talking to Macy
Macy pulled Arron aside and whispered something about keeping Jestro away from her and Clay since they have plans tomorrow. Arron nodded and told the others as well
Jestro and Clay got ready for bed and fell asleep, the nightmares got to the jester again but this time he couldn't wake up. He was trapped in a constant state of anxiety, he had to face it alone as Clay was still asleep and he couldn't wake himself up.
~
The next morning Jestro woke up and was still shaken by the nightmare, but took some deep breaths and noticed his magic act up in his sleep as well. The jester got ready for the day and wanted to see how Clay's doing but was Stopped by Axl and Lance "Hey buddy, wanna hang out today, we can go to the spa, get our nails done" Lance said trying to keep Jestro from going to find Clay but Jestro didn't care "Oh alright, but tomorrow we have to be ready for the banquet that's why we are here, and we also still have to train some knights, will Clay and Macy be coming" Axl spoke up trying to change the subject "Uh we don't wanna be late for our spa day"
~
Hours later Jestro finished the spa treatment and noticed David isn't anywhere to be seen, at least Jestro isn't being made fun of this time. The jester went to find Macy but was Stopped by Arron and Jestro started to get suspicious "Arron why are you trying to keep me from finding Clay or Macy?" Arron looked shocked and was worried he would find out "Um they are helping the Mayor" Arron lied and Jestro didn't fall for it but continued anyways "Well then why can't we help, its our jobs as knights to help people" Arron was getting more worried
"The Mayor specifically asked for Macy and Clay and let us relax so wanna practice Hoverboarding again" Before Jestro could say anything the Mayor came by "Hello Boys, everything is ready for tomorrow" Jestro looked at Arron in annoyance "Wheres Clay and Macy, my friend Arron said they where helping you" The Mayor looked confused "What no, I want all the knights to relax before tomorrow, I haven't seen them all day, oh Jestro my son David wants to talk to you, he spoke with Clay and Macy though so don't stress out too much"
Jestro sighed and walked away from Arron "I'm going to talk with David, unless he doesn't wanna see me for some reason either" Arron had nothing to say so he went to find Macy and Clay
Meanwhile Jestro found David alone "Hey your dad said you wanted to talk to me, look about yesterday I understand if you where angry at me but its fine alright, I forgive you" The last part was a lie but Jestro didn't wanna seem rude "Oh Jestro, thank you but that wont stop me from trying to break you, if anyone should be part of the nexo knights its me, but no the stupid orphan child got my dreams!" David said in anger, Jestro didn't mean for this to happen.
"I didn't mean to take your dreams from you David, I didn't know you wanted to be a knight, why didn't you ask your Dad about it?" David slapped the Jester hard and left a mark "My dad only does what he wants, I SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN WHAT YOU HAVE, now you will pay for your crimes" Jestro groaned tired of people saying that "Look I'm not asking you forgive my actions but please let me explain and apologize" David laughed and continued to make fun of the jester and suddenly other people laughed along making Jestro feel smaller.
"You think you're a knight, you're nothing, you have always been nothing. You're little knight friends cant defend you now, you deserve to be bullied, I mean it makes sense, you're own parents might have abandoned the weak and fragile child they made knowing you wont do anything good in life"
Jestro started crying and trying to calm down but David made it worse and poured trash on Jestro and some more water "This is what you deserve, to be wet and covered in trash" David let out a nasty punch and got Jestro a black eye "Go back to the alley way, where you belong"
Jestro ran off and tripped on the ground and tried to run off but ran into Arron "Jestro I'm sorry I didn't, what happened to you" Arron asked worried and he saw the black eye "David, he still doesn't like me, I don't blame him-" Before Jestro could continue to try and Defend his bully Arron stopped him and got him to the hotel to find a first aid kit and Macy was there talking to one of the citizens and noticed Jestro's condition
"Don't tell me David did this" Jestro nodded but tried to explain that maybe David is right to do it but Macy spoke in anger "You don't deserve this Jestro, I swear he said he wouldn't bully you anymore but he lied, HE LIED AAAAAAAHHHHHHH" Macy started cursing and went outside to let it out while Arron handled the black eye on Jestro "Don't tell Clay" Jestro said and Arron nodded. "Is that what they where doing today? Talking to David?" Arron nodded again "I'm sorry they said to not let you know I don't know why though, but I guess now I do, you have to stop defending people who hurt you. I know you think you deserve it Jestro but, you don't. you're a part of the team and we care for you, even if we haven't forgiven you yet" Jestro sighed and got the trash off him "Thanks but it still feels weird"

"Macy there you are what's wrong?" Clay asked and Macy told Clay everything she knew, and Clay went to find Jestro and saw the black eye "Tell me everything David did" Jestro felt scared but told him anyways "Ill handle this" Jestro got in front of Clay and stopped him "No, I have to do this myself please Clay let me talk to him alright, and no more sneaking around It felt like you were trying to hide from me" Clay calmed down "I'm sorry, and I didn't mean to make you feel that way." Jestro smiled and Macy came in "I'm also sorry Jestro, I just care so much I hated seeing you hurt, and something told me to get revenge"
Jestro smiled seeing people care "I'm going to bed" Jestro left the hallway and Macy wanted to ask Clay something "What if David doesn't want to listen to anyone not even Jestro, I want to protect Jestro from people like David but-" Clay stopped her and sighed "Lets just wait and see what happens tomorrow"
Alright I'm gonna make part 3 today I also like to make Macy overprotective of Jestro for some reason

Its been a few weeks since the Incident at Snottingham has happened, the Knights have been training harder then before, wanting to be prepared for the next threat, while also warning and training towns so there ready
"Guys me and Jestro finally fixed the Shields while also adding antivirus softwares so it doesn't happen again" Ava Says while bringing in the Shields "Thanks you two at least we can use our nexo power and combo nexo power again" Clay says while getting his Shield "They also look cleaner" Jestro looked at clay to respond to that "yeah I thought they could use some cleaning on the outside as well, well Lances was already clean" Clay smiles and Robin comes in
"Guys Merlok says we hit a fork in the road leading to 3 different towns" The group heads in to see the three towns nearby "Alright how about we split up, Me and Axl will head right, Macy and Lance will go down the Middle, leaving Arron and Jestro to go Left" Clay says to the group and they all get ready to Leave "Looks like we will have some alone time Jestro" Arron says while Laying on his Hover shield "Nice work with the shields as well, this feels more smooth" Arron says with a smile
The groups go the paths they where given "So Jestro I have a question for you" Arron says trying to keep the silence out "If its about when I was evil then go ahead, sigh I'm used to those questions" Arron looked confused but understood "No its about Clay, I'm wondering how do you feel about him" Jestro stopped before moving again trying to get ahead of Arron but not answering "That's not important" Arron caught on Jestros act quick
"Hes important to you though isn't he" Jestro tried to change the subject "So how long have you been hover boarding for?" Arron got Upset but let the subject change "Since I was a kid, its a lot of fun, So what did you do as a kid" Jestro didn't like thinking about his child hood "I was a sheep herder he he" Jestro nervously laughed "Oh look we are at the town" Jestro ran ahead and Arron looked disappointed
The two knights explained the situation and helped trained the citizens until the half moon was in the sky "Thank you Knights of the realm We will keep a look out and keep training" The mayor said as the knights left
"They were really chill with you" Arron said trying to Keep talking with Jestro "Yeah they actually listened to me" Arron smiled then asked again "So back to how you feel about Clay" Jestro was confused why did Arron care so much "Well he was my first and only friend for the longest time, I still regret betraying him for the Book of Monsters, but he always wanted to understand and help me even when I was evil" Arron listened and asked another question "Does he make your heart all fuzzy?"
Jestro thought and his face heated up "You can say that, or anytime I'm near him I get butterflies in my stomach, or sometimes I just start sweating like crazy especially if hes showing his muscles" Jestro chuckled and thought about it again "I really like him, like really like him but, what if he doesn't like me back" Arron looked at Jestro knowing that but doesn't tell him "You have to find that out yourself Buddy"
"Hey Jestro" Arron said about to reach the Fortrex "yeah Arron?" Jestro said wondering what the archer wanted "I forgive you" Arron said before getting off his hover shield and heading in. Jestro stood outside for a moment 'He forgave me? I didn't think anyone else would, not that I deserve it' Clay came out and noticed Jestro inside "Hey you want dinner?" Clay asked, noticing Jestro zoning out and thinking. "Oh yeah of course" Jestro said realizing Clays voice snapped him out of his thoughts

"What do you mean you weren't able to get acid in the towns, YOU ARE FAILING THE MISSION" Monstrux yelled at the acid monsters and one spoke up in fear "The citizens have been training and using what they can to stop us" Monstrux yelled back "I DONT CARE KILL THEM NEXT TIME IF YOU HAVE TO AND NO ONE TRAINS THE CITIZENS" Ruina came back with more old tech
"The Knights have been training them well Sir" She said "And you know sooner or later The Jester will find out the truth that you and Merlok has been keeping from him" Monstrux let out a laugh "Yeah right, the kid cant read anything not even himself, he's an open book" Ruina still had a worried look "We don't know how it works for him though it works differently for-" Monstrux glared at her "I know how it works now go and get more stuff to upgrade robo Jester" Ruinas nodded and worked on The robot
