Jacob


 * "It's amazing how life turns out to be, years ago we were the worst enemies, but now I'm glad to call you my brother"
 * —Jacob to Ernesto recalling the old times.

Jacob is one of the two protagonists in the Ernesto vs Jacob series. He is a master researcher. His researching skills caught the attention of Ernesto Ibarra, who used his skills to make him research and eventually find the Elixir of Life, however after finding out Ernesto's true intentions with the elixir, he let him drink it knowing that he would die in the process. In Ernesto vs Jacob 2, Ernesto was resurrected by Kesler and Jacob was incarcerated because of him "causing" Ernesto's death, however he was freed from prison when Kesler helped him escape later on. During Ernesto vs Jacob 3, he teamed up and eventually befriended Ernesto and Jarliev when Kesler betrayed them, and they managed to defeat him. He's the current co-leader of Ernesto and Jacob's Militia after Kesler's death in Ernesto vs Jacob: The Awakening.

As the series progresses, Jacob gradually develops from an shy, insecure and fearful individual into a hardened, confident, smarter and colder person. Despite this, Jacob holds a sworn devotion towards his friends and army and will go towards great lengths to protect them from harm's way.

Personality
Jacob is typically calm, smart, and a good friend. During Ernesto vs Jacob, Jacob is shown to be shy, fearful and insecure who was easily manipulated by Ernesto under the alias "The Exterminator" in order to retrieve an Elixir of Life. Despite his shyness and fear, Jacob had willpower, as he never gave up when trying to find information about the elixir and he was also determinate to defeat Ernesto when he discovered his identity after ripping off his mask, and also his willpower allowed him to fight evenly against the far more trained Ernesto Ibarra during their final fight.

In Ernesto vs Jacob 2, he was still shown as a determinate person who would never give up, evidenced when he began to search for the Resurrection Stone around the house after discovering Jarliev's intentions to search for the stone to resurrect Ernesto Ibarra. After he found the stone, he decided to hide it from Jarliev until he interrogates him, however, after Kesler arrived to the house and used the stone to bring Ernesto back to life, Jacob was fearful to see Ernesto again, however he was brave enough to fight him once again, but also against and Kesler and Jarliev at the same time.

In Ernesto vs Jacob 3, after Kesler betrayed him, he was disappointed for his betrayal, so he decided to team up with Ernesto and Jarliev to warn them about Kesler and defeat him. After successfully gaining Ernesto and Jarliev's trust, Jacob demonstrated to be a good and loyal friend, who was willing to do anything to protect his friends. After Kesler killed Jarliev, Jacob became furious and attacked Kesler and eventually killed him by stabbing him to death, which reveals his loyalty to his friends.

In Ernesto vs Jacob: Eddie Attacks, Jacob admitted he was affected by Jarliev's death and it still disturbs him even seven months after his death, which made him hopeless. After injecting himself with Eddie's "A L 2" Serum, he gained super powers which made him regain his hope and his will to defeat Eddie and any other threat. However he was still affected by Jarliev's death, which distracted him and because of that, he was kidnapped by Scorpius.

Jacob's imprisonment and suffering at the hands of Scorpius and his guards, as well as the fact he's lost people, has caused him to become colder and more brutal than he once was. This is primarily shown by the fact he formed an entire army and lead them in a war against Ernesto and the government because of them wanting Jacob to get rid of his super powers by injecting himself an antidote, however after finding out that The K.E.S.E. was infiltrated in the government, he declared the war against them instead and tried to warn Ernesto about it. Jacob is shown to have complete faith in the abilities of his soldiers and claims that they will win the fight at all cost. However, he forgave Ernesto's life when he could kill him and simply left him behind. After Ernesto announced his renounce from the government and declared Jacob innocent from the law, they met once again and they forgave each other.

In Ernesto vs Jacob: The Awakening, Jacob was shown to be a good friend and a determinate person who can work well as a team, as he have been fighting alongside Ernesto and Jarliev against The K.E.S.E. members for two restless weeks. After finding out that Jarliev worked with The K.E.S.E., he was disappointed with him but eventually forgave him and recommended Ernesto to do the same thing. When Kesler was awaken, Jacob was determinate to fight against him once again. Because of his ingenuity, he managed to avoid being turned into a rarzar and stole Kesler's Spell Book, which allowed him to developed a cure to Ernesto and Jarliev whom they were turned into Rarzars. In the final fight, Jacob was willing to fight to death against Kesler, to make sure that his friends survive, however he got saved by Jarliev, who used Kesler's own magic hand mirror to send his soul to the Lake of Fire in the Underworld.

Two years after defeating Kesler and The K.E.S.E. was wiped out, he lives a more pacific life with his friends, by reuniting with them in meetings like celebrating anniversaries or any other kind of celebration. He is shown to be more happy and calm than he was before.

Pre-Ernesto vs Jacob
Not much is known of Jacob's life before the events of Ernesto vs Jacob take place, other than he was born and grew up in Nicaragua in late 1990s.

He developed researching skills, to the point that he could find almost everything he wants to research, which caught the attention of The Government.

Somehow he met and became associated with Ernesto, he trusted him enough to hang out with him sometimes.

Ernesto vs Jacob
Ernesto called Jacob by phone to invite him to skate and hang out, when he arrived to Ernesto's house, they prepared the stuff for skating and went out. After a while Ernesto told Jacob to hold his phone and to remind him to call his cousin Ligia for something important. Shortly later, Jacob told Ernesto to wait for him while he was going to urinate, but accidentally dropped Ernesto's phone without noticing it and left it behind.

Later on, they decided to go to a near store to buy something to eat, after buying the food Ernesto asked Jacob to return him his phone back to make the call to his cousin Ligia, but after not finding it, Ernesto became very upset with Jacob for losing it and to cause him to miss the important call, so Ernesto attacked Jacob in a fist fight that Ernesto won by knocking out Jacob and leaving him behind. One week later Ernesto returned to the store but nobody was there to attend him, but before he could leave Jacob appeared and attack him from behind with a bat telling him "i told you i was gonna get my revenge", and proceed to beat him and seemingly kill him, before he left he told him that he was going to take over his properties like his house and even his dog.

Over a course of a few weeks, Jacob successfully took over Ernesto's house and and settled there. One day, he was playing video-games in Ernesto's former room until he eventually lost and got tired from always die in the game, so he decided to go out skating.

Jacob went to a abandoned yard to skate until he fall off his skate and was approached by a masked man wearing a black jacket and a voice changer, the masked man asked Jacob if he was OK from the fall, then the masked man introduced himself as "The Exterminator" and began talking about the Elixir of Life. Jacob seemingly afraid of him told him that he read something about that in a book once, so The Exterminator asked him if he would like to be rich and to have everything that he wants and whenever he wants, Jacob replied "Yes", so The Exterminator revealed to him that he works for the government and could make that happen if he brings him the Elixir of Life in one week or otherwise he would "make him go to the life after this life". The Exterminator later told him to continue skating and to pretend that they never saw each other before disappearing leaving him stunned by the threat.

Some days later, Jacob was trying to research information about the Elixir of Life and its possible location, but was desperate because he wasn't finding enough information. He spent hours searching it in different websites until he found an article that says that the Elixir of Life was highly used in a place called "Blackgrass Sanctuary" years ago, so he tried to find that place in a map and found out that the neighborhood was called "Blackgrass Meadows" centuries ago, so he proposed himself to go there to look for it, but he wondered what the masked man wants with that elixir. Before leaving, he read that only people with good intentions are worthy enough to drink the elixir and live forever, otherwise they would perish and explode without leaving any track if they don't have good intentions with the elixir; so Jacob wondered if the masked man have good or bad intentions with the elixir, because of that, he also proposed himself that he will find out about his true intentions before giving him the elixir.

Some minutes later, Jacob started the journey to find the old sanctuary around the neighborhood, after skating nearly two hours looking for the Sanctuary, he found some ruins in a deserted area, Jacob stated that that place must had been abandoned for years, and then became excited when he found some letters in a wall that says "Blackgrass Sanctuary", so he decided to enter the ruins, but wasn't aware that the masked man was watching him from afar.

Jacob proceed to explore the old sanctuary, which was in a such abandoned state, that there was even vegetation there. While exploring the place, Jacob claimed that he haven't slept or even take a shower since the day before, and sarcastically wondered why is he talking alone; then, he used a detector of ancient glass to help him find the elixir around the place. A few seconds later he found some broken glass and hoped that it wasn't from the elixir, however, after some minutes, Jacob found a glass that had some letters in a strange language, so he used a translator that could detect any language, and the mysterious letters said "Elixir of Life".

Jacob became excited for having found the elixir, however, he decided to keep it safe from The Exterminator because he first wants to discover his true identity, but as he was about to leave the place, he was called by an unknown phone number and when he answered, he discovered that it was The Exterminator asking him if he had already obtained the elixir, so Jacob lied to him saying that he was still looking for it, The Exterminator then threatened Jacob to kill him if he don't deliver him the elixir in less than a week, so Jacob told him that they should meet in an alley near the food store so he can deliver him the elixir, The Exterminator agreed with him, but Jacob asked him if he was still going to reward him with millions of dollars, in which The Exterminator said "It may take a while, but yeah" and then hanged the phone, Jacob then angrily left the place not knowing what to do. Jacob arrived to the house stressed for not knowing what to do, as he wanted to discover the Exterminator's identity before giving him the Elixir of Life. Later on, Jacob began analyzing the Elixir and stated that it "smells bad", so he elaborated a plan that consisted in ripping off The Exterminator's mask the day he will give him the elixir to discover his real identity.

In a matter of one week, Jacob spent the time training to fight against The Exterminator if he have to.

One week later, Jacob waked up but fell off the bed, after getting up he was ready for the meeting with The Exterminator claiming that he's been training hard in his fighting skills, so he put the elixir in a backpack for the meeting and left the house.

When Jacob arrived at the meeting place, he was surprised that nobody was there, so he decided to wait for him, however The Exterminator appeared behind him asking Jacob where the elixir was, so Jacob gave the elixir to him and The Exterminator sarcastically said "Thank you so much", Jacob then asked him about his reward, so The Exterminator told him that "It wasn't part of the deal, you wanted it to be, not me, don't forget who's in charge around here", after that, an enrage Jacob ripped off The Exterminator's hat and demanded to know his identity, in so he took off his mask revealing him to be no other than Ernesto Ibarra. Jacob was shocked to see him alive as he though that he killed him some days ago, Ernesto then told him what he was up to during all this time and why he turned into the Exterminator; he told Jacob that after he nearly killed him, he recovered from his attack and then he adopted the alias "The Exterminator" in order to retrieve the elixir by using Jacob's researching skills.

They proceed to fight in equally terms until Jacob was getting the upper hand claiming that he's been practicing during this time, but later Ernesto managed to kick his leg, punch him and then to throw him in the air, however Jacob recovered and managed to land some punches to Ernesto until he eventually managed to get Jacob to the floor and kick him numerous time before landing his final punch to the stomach that put Jacob out of condition to keep fighting, later Ernesto took the Elixir and proceed to drink it, but he started coughing and apparently running out of air, Ernesto later exploded in the air for not being worthy to live forever and thus died in the process and leaving only his glasses. A weakened Jacob escaped the place.

Ernesto vs Jacob 2
In a matter of three weeks, Jacob kept living in Ernesto's house, however he constantly suffer from nightmares of him getting beaten up by Ernesto in a strange place, likely due to him suffering a trauma after his experience against him. One day, Jacob realized that the house was a mess, so he put an ad for a butler to come and clean the house.

Jacob was having another nightmare in which he was hanging unconscious from a tube and falls down, when he got up disoriented and confused about where he was, he proceed to walk around the place until he was approached by Ernesto with a bat asking him if he remembers him; Ernesto hit Jacob with the bat knocking him down and then proceed to kick him, however, he let Jacob get up and then grabbed him from his neck reminding him that he "attempted to kill him", Jacob then told him that he was dead, but Ernesto threw Jacob to the floor again. Jacob managed to get up but got beaten up by Ernesto until he got him to the floor again, so Ernesto grabbed the bat and stabbed Jacob telling him "that's what you get for trying to kill me".

Jacob then wakes up and fell off the bed realizing that it was only a nightmare, he then watched from his window to make sure that there was nobody there, and later proceed to continue playing the video-game, suddenly someone ringed the bell and Jacob got annoyed because he stated that he was "playing so good, i hope it's worth it".

When Jacob arrived to the principal door, he got angry to see that there was no one there, but before he attempted to return to the house, the bell sounded again and he saw a guy telling him that he is there for the butler job, Jacob admitted that the house is a disorder and that it may need someone to clean it everyday, so he contracted him. Jacob told him that he can start by cleaning the bathroom because there was "something big there", so he guided him to the bathroom and told him to let him know if he needs help.

A few minutes after he left the butler in the bathroom, he thought that the man was speaking with someone by phone, so he went to the bathroom to check and asked him what he was doing, so the butler told him that he was just looking for the toilet opener.

At the next day, Jacob told the guy, whose name is Jarliev, that he will go out to buy food at the food store, so ordered him to clean the house's terrace. Jarliev screamed loudly "the terrace of course!!!", so a confused Jacob asked him why he said that, so Jarliev nervously told him that he forgot to clean the terrace.

Some minutes later Jacob arrived to the store, however Mrs. Martha wasn't so glad to see him, because she said "oh it's this prick again......what do you want now?", Jacob told her that he would like to buy Shrimp Chop Suey; however after getting the Chop Suey, Jacob ran away without paying, possibly as a revenge for insulting him earlier.

Jarliev was desperately trying to find something in the terrace until Jacob arrived to the house and told Jarliev that he will cook the Chop Suey for them. However while trying to cook the food, he accidentally dropped the food, and told Jarliev that he can leave for the day.

Jarliev left his phone in the dining room without noticing it, and after Jacob finished warming some food in the microwave, he noticed that Jarliev left his phone in the dining room, so he decided to save it for him until he see him again when he comes back. Later on Jacob decided to go to the garden to play with a ball until Jarliev's phone began to vibrate, and it was someone calling named "Boss", Jacob then got confused because he though he was his boss.

Jacob answered the phone and the guy on the phone, thinking that he was talking with Jarliev, asked him if he already found the object in the house, so Jacob imitating Jarliev's voice asked him "find what?", so the guy in a angered voice warned him to not mess with him because he already explained him his mission, so Jacob asked him again what object he is supposed to find, so the guy on the phone told him to find a Resurrection Stone, then Jacob asked him why does he need that for, so the man revealed that he needs it to revive Ernesto; so a enrage Jacob proceed to throw the phone violently to the ground breaking it and then wondered about Jarliev's relationship with his boss. At the next day, Jacob decided to search for the Resurrection Stone himself, he stated that it must be underground because Jarliev never found it in the house, so he then took a shovel and started digging around the garden looking for the stone, until the shovel hit something solid, so he used his hands to remove the solid object and realized that it was a large stone with holes on several sides. Jacob kept the stone knowing it was the Resurrection Stone and decided to interrogate Jarliev when he return to the house the next day. Jacob proceed to refill the holes he left in the garden to hide the evidence from him.

One day later Jarliev arrived at the house and Jacob went to the principal door to let him in, Jacob told him that it was about time he shows up, so Jarliev asked him why, Jacob then angrily asked him about his relationship with his "real" boss, so a nervous Jarliev revealed that he, alongside with his boss Kesler and Ernesto were cousins, until Jacob killed Ernesto and because of that he is there to resurrect Ernesto and then they would kill Jacob. A shocked Jacob told him that he didn't killed Ernesto, so a angry Jarliev screamed at him "don't lie to me you prick!!", suddenly Jarliev's boss, Kesler, came to the place asking him if he already found the stone, so a confused Jarliev asked him what is he doing here, so he revealed that he called him the other day, Jacob then told him that it was him pretending to be Jarliev on the phone, so then Kesler demanded Jacob to give him the stone and then proceed to punch Jacob knocking him down and dropping the stone. Jacob witnessed Kesler taking the stone from the ground and performing a ritual with a magic circle Kesler drawn during the night, he putted the stone with Ernesto's glasses on top of the stone in the middle of the circle, and after doing the ritual, Ernesto emerged from the circle.

Ernesto thanked Jarliev and Kesler for helping him, he later attacked Jacob for "attempting to murder him" a few weeks ago. They fought in a fierce fight with Ernesto hitting Jacob in the face and butt with a stick, then Jarliev and Kesler joined him in beating up Jacob until he managed to back down Ernesto with the stick and then killed Lassie in the same circle that was used to bring Ernesto back to life, leaving only a stone fragment that could make anything that touch it explode, so Jacob attempted to use it against Ernesto and Jarliev but was distracted by some passing helicopters and threw the stone the stone fragment near him and the explosion ripped off his entire arm, he was later captured and sent to jail by the team. Later on by nighttime, Jacob was in jail and was approached by Ernesto informing a guard by a talkie that he was still in jail and then left the place, however, some hours later a masked man came to the place and knocked Jacob's cell. Jacob tried to attack the masked man but he opened his cell and gave Jacob a special serum that could regenerate his arm, so a confused Jacob asked him who is him, but the masked man stayed in silence, so Jacob injected himself the serum, screamed out of pain and fell out unconscious. The masked man then took Jacob with him and used magic to create a illusion to the guards that Jacob was still in jail.

Ernesto vs Jacob 3
Over a course of one year after being freed from jail by the masked man, Jacob discovered an abandoned house and it became his refuge, as time progressed he began working with the masked man and eventually discovered that the masked man is Kesler, who now uses the alias of The Ratman to perform crimes with super powers.

One day Jacob developed a plan of revenge against Ernesto and Jarliev that consisted in Kesler attacking them directly with his super powers as The Ratman to avoid suspicion, Kesler agreed with him. Some days later Jacob called a meeting with Kesler in the refuge and told him that it is time to put in action their revenge plan, in which Kesler agrees. Two weeks later, Ernesto and Jarliev went out skating, so Kesler took the opportunity to attack them as The Ratman, in which he ended up knocking them out. After they regained conscious, Kesler arrived to the place and accused Jacob to be The Ratman. Ernesto was shocked to heard that Jacob escaped from prison, so he declared a war against him.

At the next day, Kesler arrived to Jacob's hideout and informed him that he accused him by telling Ernesto and Jarliev that he was The Ratman, however Jacob told him that he had nothing to do with his attacks. Feeling betrayed, Jacob proceed to attack Kesler and the two had a fight that Kesler managed to win because of his super powers and superior fighting skills. While Jacob was still on the floor, Kesler left the place telling him that he will continue playing with Ernesto and Jarliev's minds. After Jacob recovered from Kesler's fight, he acknowledged that he cannot stop Kesler alone, so he decided to team up with Ernesto and Jarliev to defeat Kesler.

Hours later, Ernesto was leaving the food store with Jarliev and then Jacob approached to them and simply said "hi", however Ernesto responded by punching him in the face until he was restrained by Jarliev to calm him down. After the tension decreased, Jacob revealed to them that Kesler was the real Ratman and not him, he also admitted that he was working with Kesler until he was betrayed by him when he accused him to be the real Ratman, Jacob then told them that he will give them more info about Kesler while inviting them to eat fry chicken, Ernesto agreed with Jacob but he threatened to kill him if it is a trap and that he have to earn their trust, Jacob accepted his terms and left with them. While they were eating, Jacob revealed to them that Kesler have supernatural powers like lightning generation that can either paralyze or kill anyone, enhanced strength and speed, Ernesto told him that they just need to train to beat him and that it not necessary to have powers like him to do so, Jacob also said that Kesler have a plan to destroy them all sooner or later. Ernesto told Jacob that they should ambush Kesler in his hideout, in which Jacob replied that Kesler doesn't trust him anymore but that they should interrogate him and that he would hide in case they need help, Ernesto accepted Jacob's plan and they proceed to continue eating.

At the next day, as the team were walking to the meeting place to interrogate Kesler, they were repeating the plan to make sure that there were no doubts about it, which consisted in Jacob hiding while Ernesto and Jarliev interrogate Kesler about his whereabouts during The Ratman's attacks, and to give Jacob a signal in case that Kesler attacks them.

When they arrived to the meeting place, Jacob remembered about some antidotes that Kesler hided in his hideout and proposed to Jarliev to go check them, however, after Jarliev left to check the antidotes, Kesler ambushed him an attacked him. Jacob hided in a corner while Ernesto waited for Kesler to arrive to interrogate him, there he witnessed how Ernesto got attacked by Kesler after he discovered that he was The Ratman, so after Ernesto called Jacob to help him fight him, Kesler was surprised that they teamed up to defeat him but proceed to fight them, although they had some difficulties, they manage knock out Kesler and then ran away from the place.

Some minutes later they found Jarliev lying on the floor semiconscious, he told them that he was intercepted and attacked by Kesler while going to his hideout for the antidotes, Ernesto told him that it doesn't matter anymore because they left Kesler weakened but warned them to take care because he can get revenge any time. Jacob told them that he needs to leave to buy some stuff, but before he left, Ernesto thanked him for saving him from Kesler and that he earned their trust.

While Jacob was walking, he got knocked out by a surprise single punch of Kesler, then he took Jacob's phone and called Ernesto demanding a $50,000 check for Jacob's freedom.

Ernesto had no option but to ask for a loan to his cousin Ligia, after explaining to her the current situation, she approved the loan for Jacob's freedom.

Ernesto and Jarliev went to the meeting place and gave Kesler the check, however he paralyzed them and placed them alongside Jacob. When they woke up, Ernesto apologized with Jacob for failing with the plan to free him, then they noticed that their legs were still paralyzed to attempt to escape. Kesler then approached them and grabbed Jarliev from his neck and began to choke him and using his lightning powers at him at the same time, mortally wounding him, Ernesto angrily got up and punched Kesler backing him down, Jarliev then told Ernesto and Jacob to not worry about him and also told them to defeat Kesler, Jarliev then died from his injuries. This greatly angers Ernesto and Jacob, whom attacked Kesler until knocking him down.

Kesler quickly recovered and managed to subdue them with his lightning power but they managed to resist it and continued fighting Kesler, however even with their combined efforts to stop him, Kesler proved to be too much for them and almost killed them until Kesler got interrupted by a passing civilian, so he killed him by snapping his neck for having witness the whole event, this enrages Jacob, who manages to punch Kesler repeatedly times in face until he pushed him off, so Ernesto did the same and punched him repeatedly times until he was eventually pushed too.

When Kesler was about to kill Ernesto, Jacob saved him by punching Kesler so hard that the punch knocked him out instantaneously, which gave him enough time to stab Kesler in the stomach before letting him recover, he then continued stabbing him numerous times out of rage. Later on, Ernesto and Jacob wondered what will they do with the dead civilian, but they end up abandoning the place claiming that the police would come later to check the place. Some hours later, Ernesto and Jacob were digging a grave for Jarliev, Ernesto seemingly depressed for his death said "It's a shame, he was a good cousin", Jacob sympathized with him by saying that he will always live in their hearts and will always be remembered as a hero for trying to stop Kesler, Ernesto later offered Jacob to stay in his house now that Jarliev's room was empty, however Jacob told him that will go out for a few months in a journey but that when he comes back he will stay in the house, so they said their goodbyes and left the place.

Ernesto vs Jacob: Eddie Attacks
Over a course of seven months, Jacob went on a journey across the world researching information about magic stones and their power, in order to understand their nature and what are they capable of. During this time, Jacob has been having nightmares about the murder of Jarliev at the hands of Kesler, which still deeply disturbs him. After researching enough information for his investigation, he decided to head back to Nicaragua to encounter Ernesto.

Once in Nicaragua, Jacob encountered Ernesto visiting the place where Jarliev was murdered, after he saw Ernesto he told him "bad memories, heh?", Ernesto greeted Jacob and welcomed him after months of not seeing him and the two decided that they should go find something to eat at the food store to talk about their recent events. While skating to the store, Ernesto made fun of some dogs barking to Jacob, to which Jacob replied "the dogs loves me". After skating more distance, they were discussing about Jacob's whereabouts during his months of absence, Jacob told Ernesto what he was up to, he informed him that he's been researching abut magic stones and stuff like that.

While walking, Jacob found a plastic cup lying on the ground and tried to drink it claiming that he has not eaten properly in three days, but Ernesto threw the plastic cup away telling him that he shouldn't drink anything that he finds in the street and informed him that they should arrive soon to the store.

Before arriving to the store, Ernesto asked Jacob if he had though about the previous events regarding Kesler, Jacob admitted that it disturbs and still affects him, Ernesto latter told Jacob that he hasn't been sleeping properly because of the nightmares he's been having about Jarliev's death and their near death experience at the hands of Kesler, and he also informed Jacob that he has a feeling that something bad will happen soon.

Later on after arriving and eating at the store, Ernesto noticed that there was a guy that they've never seen in the neighborhood before. The guy introduced himself as Eddie and left without saying something else leaving Ernesto and Jacob confused but Jacob took advantage to take the Soda that Eddie left behind, in which Ernesto humorously told him that he was stranger than Eddie.

When they were leaving the store, Ernesto complained that he hurt his ankle with his skate, so Jacob was having fun about that but they didn't noticed that they were being followed by Eddie. When they arrived at Ernesto's house, Eddie re-introduced himself and told them that he just wanted to "visit his new best friends", Jacob replied that they just met, but Ernesto agreed to let him in the house and to order a pizza to eat it together. When they entered the house, Ernesto presented them his cousin Ligia and his uncles that were in his house at that time. One day later, Jacob and Ernesto were walking until Jacob fell and suddenly Eddie appeared out of nowhere and helped him get up, so Ernesto asked Eddie what was he doing there, Eddie replied that he was just passing by and then left the place. Ernesto and Jacob became paranoid of Eddie following them everywhere, so they agreed that they should follow him to see where he goes and what he does, Jacob suspected that Eddie might be a spy like Jarliev was with Kesler before.

While following Eddie, they made a noise but immediately hided before Eddie could see them, while hiding from him, they were discussing about what might be his true intentions, so Ernesto wondered if Eddie has any relationship with Kesler, in which Jacob replied that he doesn't think so because he is already dead, so they continued following him.

Later on, they witnessed Eddie injecting himself a serum that he pulled out of a backpack and he screamed out of pain. After Eddie recovered from the pain, he discovered Ernesto and Jacob and screamed at them "What are you doing here?!!" and proceed to chase them.

Ernesto and Jacob ran away out of fear from Eddie and hide behind a wall, there they witnessed how Eddie accidentally dropped out of frustration a sample of the serum that he injected to himself. After Eddie left the place to search them somewhere else, Ernesto and Jacob came out of hiding to analyze the serum that Eddie accidentally dropped, in the syringe there were some letters that said "A L 2", Ernesto wondered if it could give them Super Powers like it did to Eddie, so he injected half of the serum and then generated some lightnings at the sky, then Jacob injected the other half of the serum and also gained powers, which made them regaing the confidence to defeat Eddie as a team. Some minutes later, Eddie came back to the place and found them, and a fight occurred between them, however even while having Super Powers like him, they were no match for Eddie because of their lack of experience with their powers, so their only hope to defeat him was to poison him with a nearby poisonous fungus.

Jacob told Ernesto to entertain Eddie while he prepares the poison with the syringe, Ernesto struggled to fight Eddie, but manage to struck him with lightnings, however Eddie recovered quickly and continued attacking Ernesto.

After some minutes, Jacob finally finished making the poison to inject Eddie, however he took the syringe with the poison and attempted to break it, so Ernesto took his hand trying to take the syringe back, after seeing that, Jacob punched Eddie, causing him to drop the syringe and then Jacob retained Eddie while Ernesto injected him the poison, severely weakening him. After defeating Eddie, Ernesto and Jacob admitted that it was a hard fight but they wondered why Eddie hated them so much, to the point that he attempted to murder them with super powers. Eddie woke up and with his last strengths said "I'm sorry for failing you Master Kesler...... it's your turn now Benson". Eddie then died because of the poison.

Ernesto and Jacob were shocked to heard that Eddie worked for Kesler and was likely avenging his death, and they wondered who was that Benson guy he mentioned. Ernesto suggested that they should investigate about who is he and his possible connection with Kesler, however Jacob told Ernesto that he is leaving again to investigate about Kesler's possible secret organization alone, but that he won't last long like before, Ernesto said goodbye to Jacob and told him that he will also investigate about it.

Hours later, Jacob returned to the place where Jarliev died at the hands of Kesler, then he began suffering from headaches and proceed to walk limping around the place until he got attacked by an unknown mysterious guy covering his face, who manage to knocked out Jacob with lightnings and took him away with him.

The Kidnapping of Jacob
After returning to the place where Jarliev died, Jacob got attacked and kidnapped by a guy covering his face, who took him to a abandoned house in the woods.

Some hours later, Jacob woke up tied up and saw the same guy that kidnapped him, he introduced himself to Jacob as Benson but he preferred to be called Scorpius, he revealed that he used to work for Kesler until he died at the hands of Ernesto and Jacob, so Jacob asked Scorpius what does he want from him, so he replied that he won't tell him yet but that he will soon. Scorpius left the place and several guards entered the house and cornered Jacob, who after feeling powerless, began to cry.

Some months later, a severely weakened and beat up Jacob woke up and saw Scorpius writing a letter in a desk, then Scorpius left but warned Jacob to not try anything, but Jacob ignored him and got up to check whatever he wrote. After reading the letter, Jacob was shocked to read that Scorpius is planning to do several tests on him to find out how exactly he got the super powers and then he would absorb them to become even more powerful than he already was in order to start a new world order.

After Jacob attempted to leave the note on it's place, he got attacked before he could do it by one of Scorpius' guards who was watching him from behind, Jacob tried to fight him but was severely weakened because of his kidnap and got beat up by him, Scorpius then came to the place and told Jacob to not mess with his things again and kicked him in the face knocking him out.

At the next day, Jacob got up from his beating and attempted to escape from the place, however Scorpius arrived to the house and gave Jacob a cup of water in order to conserve his strengths. Jacob threatened Scorpius to kill him if he doesn't set him free, but Scorpius laughed at Jacob and told one of his guards to interrogate him about the origin of his super powers.

The guard then came and sited Jacob in front of him in order to begin with the interrogation. Jacob told the guard that the more damage they do to him, the dangerous he will be to them, but the guard ignored Jacob's threats and began the interrogation by directly asking him about the origins of his super powers, Jacob sarcastically told him that he found them somewhere, so the guard punched Jacob in the face with metal gloves so hard that Jacob lost a teeth and spited it. The guard reformulated the question about his origins of his powers, but Jacob told him to go fuck himself, so the guard kept punching Jacob in the face and stomach until he got knocked out.

Scorpius then arrived to the interrogation room and saw Jacob unconscious in a bloody mess, so he angrily told the guard that he crossed the line, Scorpius then killed the guard by piercing his stomach with his fist and then injected Jacob some adrenaline to wake him up and told the next guard to continue with the interrogation but threatened him to kill him if the crosses the line like the other guard.

Before continuing with the interrogation, Scorpius warned Jacob to not make the guard angry if he wants to get this over with, so the guard put on the metal gloves and asked politely about the origins of his powers, so Jacob not having other choice, revealed that he got his super powers from a guy named Eddie a few months ago, so the guard asked Jacob if anyone else got super powers from him too, but Jacob angrily told him that he won't say anything else, so the guard punched Jacob and broke one of his fingers; the angry guard asked him again who else got super powers, so a weakened Jacob revealed that the only ones who got super powers are Ernesto and himself. The guard told Jacob that they will also pay a visit to Ernesto, but Jacob threatens them to not harm Ernesto, however, Jacob got knocked out again by a punch from the guard telling him that the interrogation was over.

While unconscious, Scorpius drew Jacob's blood with a syringe and after adding it more ingredients, he injected it to himself, then Scorpius began to levitate and some lightnings came from him and his eyes began glowing in a red light and screamed loudly in a demon like voice: "Today, a new era begins, this will be the day that nobody will ever forget, they will know what is real fear, they can hide, they can blink and they can cry, but at the end of the day people will eventually kneel before me and i will lead them as their god.

Some hours later, Jacob woke up and for a moment thought he was already free, however he saw dead bodies around the house and then found some letters written in a wall with blood that says: "I told you i had plans for you Jacob, thanks for giving me part of your powers, peace". Jacob then began shaking out of fear, and proceed to walk to the exit where he found massacred and mutilated bodies and some others hanging from the trees.

A survivor from the attack approached to Jacob and tried to attacked him, Jacob attempted to fight back but was severely wounded and got a cut in the chest by a knife, however, Jacob managed to disarm the survivor guard and stabbed him in the stomach killing him.

Minutes later, Jacob arrived to a dam where he found Scorpius and screamed at him to stop. Scorpius told Jacob to knee before him, but Jacob ignored Scorpius' demands and tried to attack him, however, Scorpius started to control Jacob with telekinesis, he lifted Jacob and used electricity at the same time and while he was screaming out of incredible pain, Scorpius told him that there is no force that can interfered with his plans to rule the world, so then he let go and dropped Jacob to the ground so hard that the rocks in the floor cracked, Scorpius then stared at Jacob and told him that he will destroy the dam another day to honor his bravery for trying to attack him alone and while being wounded, and then left Jacob behind.

After Scorpius left the dam, a dying Jacob said to himself that he can't believe that the world is in danger because he couldn't stop Scorpius and that everything is his fault, he stated that can't let Scorpius hurt anyone else, and that he wishes another chance to stop him.

Jacob then died because of his numerous wounds, but suddenly a leaf of a tree fell on his hand and it started glowing in a gold light, then Jacob suddenly woke up and regained his strength. Jacob stated that what saved his life was a leaf of a Tree of Life, which brings people back to life who had recently died and that they have a purpose to save the live of other people, amazed of what happened and seeking to follow Scorpius for a rematch, Jacob jumped from the dam in order to get Scorpius faster.

Some minutes later after leaving the river, Jacob heard Scorpius massacring some factory workers, so he arrived to the factory but didn't found anyone, Jacob then proceed to walk around the factory trying to find Scorpius, suddenly Scorpius tackled Jacob and began punching him, however, Jacob managed to get him off of him with a kick, Scorpius angrily told Jacob that he should have stayed dead and punched Jacob in the face, but Jacob defended himself by throwing lightnings at Scorpius knocking him down.

Jacob then found some weapons that Scorpius was making in the factory, so he grabbed one and attempted to aim it to Scorpius, however Scorpius began to control Jacob with telekinesis again and launched him trough the window. Jacob tried to got up but Scorpius approached him and kicked him in the face launching him a few meters away and causing Jacob to spit blood, Scorpius then tried to fly to Jacob to finish him, but Jacob managed to grab and stab Scorpius with a nearby knife, severely weakening him. Jacob managed to get up with difficulty and grabbed the gun and aimed it to Scorpius, but before shooting him, Scorpius told Jacob that even though he was defeated, others will come to avenge his death and would eventually kill both him and Ernesto. Jacob then shot and disintegrated Scorpius, however, later Jacob passed out from exhaustion.

Jacob woke up in a hospital at the next day, the doctors told him that he suffered some broken ribs and a broken cheek, but that he should he OK if he rest; some days later, Jacob fully recovered and the hospital let him go. After leaving the hospital, Jacob was determinate to re-encounter Ernesto.

Ernesto vs Jacob: Ultimate Battle
After physically recovering from his encounter with Scorpius, Jacob went to visit Ernesto after months of not seeing him and arrived at his house, then he proceed to ring his doorbell. Ernesto who was training at that time was surprised to see that Jacob returned, so he gladly opened the door for him and they greeted each other, Ernesto asked him why it took him so long to get back, to which Jacob replied that he "had a appointment with another guy for a long time".

Then Ernesto proceeded to update Jacob about recent events by informing him that due to Eddie's defeat, he was promoted to Head of Government and because of that he was appointed to make Jacob sign an agreement in which he would have to accept to get rid of his super powers by injecting himself a antidote that the government developed. Jacob impetuously told Ernesto that although he is glad that he got a promotion, the antidote was a crazy idea and asked him if he got rid of his powers, Ernesto admitted that he injected himself the antidote and urged Jacob to do the same because the government cannot take more risks after  the previous events regarding Kesler and Eddie.

Jacob was disappointed with Ernesto's decision to get rid of his powers and told him that he won't get rid of his powers. Ernesto who had no other choice, called some bodyguards that were in his house to protect him and ordered them to take Jacob to a police car and take it to the Palace of Justice, Jacob tried to fight them, but was knocked out from behind.

While Jacob was being driven unconscious to the courthouse, he was having nightmares about his experience with Scorpius and his kidnap by him, then he woke up in the courthouse handcuffed to prevent him from using his powers to escape, he sarcastically asked Ernesto about "why does he needs bodyguards now", Ernesto didn't respond him and they were immediately interrupted by Ernesto's boss who greeted Jacob for "his visit at the courthouse", then they explained to Jacob that having super powers might be dangerous because they may cause an accident that can either injure or kill innocent people, and at the wrong hands it may be a deadly situation, giving Kesler and Eddie as an example; however, Jacob didn't agreed with them, as he claimed that having Super Powers might save your life if someone is trying to hurt or kill you, in other words, to use it as self defense, so he said that that's why he cannot sign the accord to get rid of his powers.

Ernesto then threatened Jacob that if he don't take the antidote, he would inject it against his will, Jacob then broke the handcuff and attacked both Ernesto and his boss with lightnings before jumping from the window escaping; the courthouse's emergency alarm was activated and several agents were chasing and shooting guns at Jacob, who managed to create a shield with electricity to protect him from the bullets, he then stole a police car and escaped from the courthouse, however more cops were chasing him, so Jacob had no other choice but to drive to the woods in order to lose them and to hide there.

Jacob now considered a fugitive from the law had no choice but to hide in the woods from the government agents. Some hours later Ernesto called Jacob to attempt to calm him down, when he answered Ernesto told him not to worry because he was not tracking the call, so he politely asked Jacob to just give up and take the antidote to finish this situation once and for all before it gets worse than it already was, however Jacob told him that he won't do it and even threatened Ernesto by saying that he must keep an open eye, because he will form a team to fight against the corrupt government, so Ernesto then told him that he won't let what happened to Jarliev happen to someone else, but Jacob told him that they could avoid it if he still had his powers, and then abruptly ended the phone conversation.

Jacob using his investigation skills, began to search and recruit the best possible mercenaries. Eventually he managed to contact them and arranged a meeting at midnight around the dam. When the meeting took place, he brought them up to date with everything that was happening regarding the government and past events like the situation of Scorpius when he tried to blow up that dam and flood the village and said that if it wasn't for his superpowers that helped him stop him, the village and likely the world would have been destroyed by Scorpius. Jacob finally said that the reason that he recruited them was because of the government demanding him to get rid of his super powers against his will and liberty to decide whether to do it or not, and that he is ready to fight against the corruption and those who are trying to prevent others to save people. Convinced by Jacob's speech and arguments, the mercenaries cheered up and decided to join his fight against the government and their superpowers law. Later on when the meeting was over, one member of the team told Jacob that he will tell some of his friends to join the team in order to make it bigger and stronger, so Jacob cheerfully agreed with him.

When the meeting was over, every mercenary left except one, he approached Jacob and confessed something that left him both shocked and shaking, he revealed Jacob that
