PLEASE CURLY. I WAS DOING HAPPY HANDS READING YOUR COMMENT. IM SO GLAD YOU LOVE IT!!
Ok so. Jay vs Nokt. HERE. ME. OUT.
I think zeatrix nearly killing jay was one of the final straws for him. And this fight ultimately is his response to that.
Jay vs Nokt is a physical representation of Jay's mask crumbling away. He is literally faking being well enough to fight just like he's faking being relatively ok with everyhing that's happened post merge. And this is the fight that shatters both.
I think he tries to hold on to his composure for as long as possible. And initially it WORKS. Remember, jay has been faking for so long. Whats one more fight? And thats what this is for him mentally. One last fight. Bc if he wins, then he's facing sora and thats ok. They already won. He'll face the physical consequences later, but right now this fight is one big final lie to himself and everyone around him that he's ok. This is whats fueling him.
My idea for how the fight goes down is that Jay would use his new elements to help mask his injury as much as he'd use them to attack nokt. For instance, wind would be helpful to catch him if he stumbles. And invisibility. Ohohoho. I have a moment ingrained in my brain that he turns invisible bc the pain gets to much. And he lets every pained emotion show in his face. Before realizing he cant stay like this forever and attacks nokt again. (Bc any longer and he'd lose momentum and his body will catch up and fail him). Maybe theres also a moment where jay uses water in a meaningful/clutch way.
Then the cracks begin to form. It becomes a bit more obvious that jay is in incredible pain. Whatever that entails. He has moments where he cant stop his face from grimacing, or him crying out in pain. And he responds by becoming more dangerous. More risky moves, more crazy behavior. He starts to become a danger to himself as much as he is to nokt. And nokt, at this point is losing.
So Bekt calls off the fight.
He takes notice of jay being injured and uses it as an excuse to call things off.
And THATS the moment Jay crashes out. All his efforts to fake it ultimately amount to nothing. Not because he lost, but bc someone told him no. I see through the mask and you cant continue. And I wont even let you try. Thats when everything comes crashing down. In more ways then one.
And the nail in the coffin is, where was this rule with nya vs kai? Why wasnt that fight called off? Why did they let kai injure her ruthlessly but not let him take on nokt? A fight he was clearly winning. A fight he CHOSE to be in. Unlike with nya.
Im not sure the details, but i expect atleast a screaming match between jay and bekt/roby. The nasty side of jay is on full display. His mask is gone. He's in pain. Everything is not ok (everything has never been ok) and he wont even try to pretend anymore. Because whats the point. Pretending got him here. The mask ended up being useless.
Im not quite sure cole and nyas response to this (omfg ZANE WHERE ARE YOU. ZANE HELP THEM). I unfortunately see cole starting to side with bekt and roby after witnessing jay nearly kill himself from fighting. Jay turning to cole and nya "TELL HIM I CAN STILL FIGHT" and they both look at him in stunned silence, bc deep down they know bekt is right. Jay shouldnt be fighting let alone standing. (And then jay takes this as betrayal). Not quite sure if i want to go there BUT WE COULD??
At this point jay will probably pass out from the bloodloss of his stitches reopening. Oops i forgot to mention that.
Anywhooooo. Enter pessimistic negative jay.
I dont think he'll be there for the finale fight of s2. I think the nokt fight will finally bench him
Let me know your thoughts. :]
Oh and now everyones panicking bc sora is up against nokt :]
