Chapter 3

KOS-MOS walked slowly into the living room, her eyes turning instantly to Jr. "Wake up, emergency situation!" she shouted. Jr. woke with a start and fell off of the couch. His eyes turned to see KOS-MOS standing in front of him, her eyes lowered to meet his, and what looked like confusion etched in his face.

"KOS-MOS," Jr. whispered. "What are you doing up?"

"chaos has been captured by enemy units," KOS-MOS said in her monotone voice. Although, it did sound like there was some emotion in the tone of voice.

She seems more human Jr. told himself as he got up and dusted himself off. Then the statement that KOS-MOS made hit him. "chaos has been captured!" he yelled.

"Yes," was all KOS-MOS said. They heard a noise and turned to the side to see The Professor and Scott get off the floor.

"What's all the comotion?" The Professor asked as he got the sleep out of his eyes.

"No time," Jr. hurriedly said as he ran to the back bedrooms and knock on the first door. Allen was the one that answered it.

"What is it Jr.?" Allen asked with a yawn.

"We have to get moving quick, get Shion up, and then get dressed. Meet me outside the house," Jr. hurriedly replied to the question.

"Is something the matter?" Allen questioned.

"No time to explain, I'll tell you on the way," Jr. said as he ran over to the next bedroom. He knocked quickly and waited for the door to open. When it did, Jr. was staring at Jin with nothing but his boxers.

"What's the problem?" Jin inquired.

"We need to leave immediately. Grab your gear and get some damn clothes on, that is the ugliest site I've ever seen," Jr. groaned.

"Watch it shrimp," Jin growled.

"Whatever, just get yourself ready and meet me outside," Jr. said as he turned and ran towards the door.

"I wonder what's up," Jin groaned. But nonetheless, he did what he was told, and just hoped Jr. would explain things when he got out there. Jr. ran into the living room and grabbed his two guns that were on a table, and quickly hoisted them.

"Where are you going?" Scott asked as he saw Jr. pocket his guns.

"Don't worry about it, you two just stay here. And try not to ruin this house," Jr. warned.

"What would we do?" The Professor inquired.

"Nothing," Jr. sighed. He then quickly turned and ran out the door to see KOS-MOS leaning against the house. "You sure are acting different."

"Yes, I've noticed it too. I'll have to have Shion run a diagnostic test when we get back," KOS-MOS said simply. A feeling of sadness and desperation rose in the pit of her mechanical body. What is it? she asked herself. She thought for a while till she heard a sound and turned to see Allen, Shion, and Jin exit the building.

"KOS-MOS!" they screamed in relief as they ran over and each gave her a hug. KOS-MOS smiled slightly, Jr. caught it and began to wonder what it was. She was definintely acting more human. But how?

"Where is chaos?" Allen finally asked as he let go of KOS-MOS.

"That is the whole reason we are out here," Jr. said. "KOS-MOS said she saw chaos get captured by someone."

"Affirmative," KOS-MOS said. "I watched as he disappeared in front of my eyes."

"How would you know that he was captured?" Shion asked.

"He was for some unknown reason in my chamber, and I heard him talking, I didn't understand it though," KOS-MOS admitted. "But the fact is, I saw him get captured."

"Makes sense," Jin nodded.

"Ya, we better go find him fast," Allen said.

"My sensors show me that he is still on this planet," KOS-MOS reported.

"But, where to go?" Allen asked herself.

I wonder what chaos told KOS-MOS Shion wondered.

"I know where he might have been taken," Jin said.

"Where?" the others asked almost simultaneously.

"The Dark Plains," Jin said. "It is the only place that isn't governed by Nephilim, Abel, and chaos. So, if you are there, those three can't even see you. So in turn, the planet won't be able to tell you there."

"Someone would then take a person there if they wanted to talk without the chance of being overheard," Allen mused.

"Correct," Jin said.

"Then, what are we waiting for," Jr. piped in. "Let's go rescue our friend!"

"Right!" the others screamed, except for KOS-MOS that was. She was still thinking about chaos, and she didn't know why. She really hoped that Shion would be able to tell her what was wrong.

"Ok, follow me," Jin told the group. He turned around and began to run in the direction where dark clouds were forming. The othes quickly followed, intently hoping to save chaos. Everyone's thoughts were mostly filled with chaos. Except for KOS-MOS, hers were filled with something else. She ignored it though and just kept running, she was going to find her comrade, and that was that.

-------------------------------------------------

"Hurry up Ziggy!" MOMO called out. A few seconds later, she could make out the blonde hair of Ziggy as he walked into the Durandel's dock area.

"I'm coming," Ziggy sighed as he walked up to the ship and quietly threw his material into the ships cargo area. He turned slightly when he heard footsteps coming from behind him.

"Take care of MOMO for me," Juli said as she walked up to Ziggy.

"Don't worry, she'll be fine," Ziggy assured her.

"I know you will take care of her, and I hope you will be safe as well," Juli whispered.

"Don't worry," Ziggy said as he gave her a small kiss on the forehead. "I'll be back safe and sound."

"Ewww," came a voice from the side. The two adults turned their heads to see MOMO with her eyes closed and her tongue out. "I did not want to see that."

"What's the matter, it wasn't anything big," Ziggy said. Juli smiled as she got on her tiptoes and gave Ziggy a real kiss on the lips. The cyborg's eyes widened as the sensation hit him.

"See, I was right," MOMO complained. "Come on now you two lovebirds, Ziggy and I have to leave." Juli backed down and stared at Ziggy, a small blush on her cheeks.

"Be careful you two," Juli said. Ziggy nodded as he walked into the ship, MOMO right behind him. He sat down in the pilot's chair, glancing to the side to see MOMO take her own seat.

"Ready?" Ziggy asked the girl.

"Of course, I get to see Jr. remember," MOMO said cheerily. Ziggy chuckled, which was unusual for him. He just hoped that Jr. would treat MOMO good. He turned back to his controls and began to flip switches.

"This is the cargo ship Horizon," Ziggy said over the communication unit. "Requesting permission to take off."

"Permission grantated," a voice said from the other end of the line. "Take off at this time."

"Thank you," Ziggy said. He lifted up the cargo ship that Juli gave them and pressed the throttle down, making the ship fly out of the dock of the Durandel, and out into space. "Here we go," he whispered to MOMO. He pressed a simple button, and the ship warped towards the coordinates that Jr. had given them. They would be there before dinner time, and he couldn't wait to see them again, this was going to be a great reunion he thought.

-------------------------------------------------

"How are things going?" the dark voice of the master asked. He gazed out the window of the chamber he was in, behind him stood the cloaked figure of Grieve.

"Everything is fine," Grieve replied in a low voice.

"Any word from Sciron?" the master asked again, his red eyes glancing backwards for a few seconds.

"Not of yet," Grieve answered. "But, I'm sure he's fine."

"You may be right, but in any case, contact Black Testament," the master commanded.

"Yes master," Grieve bowed. He lifted up his right arm, and pulled back a sleeve to reveal a grey gauntlet. On the gauntlet was four different stones. The colors were red, blue, black, and white. He tapped the black stone, and in an instant Black Testament stood before him.

"How may I serve," Black Testament said softly.

"I want you to head to Lost Jerusalem in your special E.S.," the master said, his entire body turning to face Black Testament fully. "I want you to watch Sciron, and if by any chance he needs a quick evac..."

"Say no more," Black Testament interrupted with a bow. "I'll watch him." The master simply nodded as he watched Black Testament disappear from the room. The master's eyes then glanced up to the doorway when he heard about five footsteps approach. In the room came several clad officers.

"What do you want?" the master asked with a calm voice.

"We don't think that this plan of yours will benefit us," one of the soldiers said.

"Ya, this is for your selfish desires," another spoke up.

"The others might not believe us, but we will take you down, and take over this ship," the leader of the five soldiers said. The master lowered his head, a frown set on his face.

"Is that what you think," the master spoke slowly. "You think that this journey to the realm of god is a rest of time!" The master's head shot up, his eyes darker and blood red. "I won't stand for that talk!" The master made to move towards them, but Grieve held up his hands.

"Please master, let me," Grieve spoke calmly.

"Haha, you're so weak that you send one of your worthless cronies to fight us," one of the soldiers in the back laughed. The others slowly joined him. "This will be easier than we thought." Grieve's eyes turned dark and deadly as he cocked his head back to glare at them. A small smile on his lips. He then suddenly disappeared. The group of soldiers turned their heads to glance at the area.

"Where is he!" the leader shouted. The master simply smiled as he watched the desperate humans. They all heard a gasp and turned to see the soldier that started the little joke about the master. He was now lying dead in a pool of blood. Their eyes turned up to see Grieve, a sword held in each hand. The sword in his right hand was a gold color, and the sword in his left was black, with silver lining running down the edge. His gauntlets were also glowing brightly. He glanced behind him, his face completely covered but his dark red eyes.

"You fools think you can take me, you're weaker than the master," Grieve spoke slowly. He put his swords to his side as he turned back to face the group. "I personally don't tolerate rebellion. Now you die!" He lifted one sword, his gauntlet shining brightly still. He then took it back and slashed it forward, striking through one of the soldiers. He then lifted up the other and slashed it downwards, a white light shot out and completely dissolved another soldier. He then took both back and ran at full speed. He slashed his black sword through another soldier. He then turned on his heel, and slashed the golden sword straight through the leader of the small rebellion. The swords then disappeared into his gauntlets. His eyes turned back to the master. "That was pathetic."

"I would expect nothing less from you," the master spoke. "Now, leave me I got some things to finish up." Grieve nodded as he turned and left the room. The master smiled as he turned his red eyes back at the stars. "I won't let my journey be stopped by some weak humans. My time in the heavens will not be stopped." He laughed silently to himself. He then turned to his chair and sat down. He had a lot of stuff to finish, and he couldn't fall behind now. He waved his hands, and a table emerged before him. Many devices were everywhere. He bent over the table, and silently began to read and work on the data. The time for their ultimate plan began soon. He just hoped that Sciron would convince Yeshua. Only time would tell.

-------------------------------------------------

chaos opened his eyes slowly and then glanced around the area. It was a dark and gloomy place, hardly any trees were on this piece of land. He then realized that he was in the Dark Plains. He heard a sound from his left and turned quickly to see a man leaning up against a lone tree. "Who are you!" chaos shouted at the man.

"Come now Yeshua, is that anyway to treat a guest to this planet," the man chuckled. He pushed himself off of the tree and walked slowly towards chaos. He turned his eyes a little to see a robed figure appear beside the man.

"You," chaos growled. The robed figure smiled at the young man in front of him.

"Now, I thought you were supposed to be nice," the figure chuckled.

"I'm not nice to those who kidnap me," chaos told the figure.

"Too bad," the figure sighed.

"Now Yeshua, I got a proposition for you," the other robed figure began.

"What kind of proposition?" chaos asked.

"I want you to join the Council of Dark Lords," the man replied.

"Council of...Dark Lords?" chaos asked in a confused voice.

"We are a group of five people lead by the master," the man answered. "And, we are on a journey to the realm of god."

"Like I would help you," chaos growled when he heard their plan.

"What's wrong Yeshua," the man said in mock sadness. "If you don't join, and help us with our journey. Your precious little friends will be killed. And also, that love of yours will be turned to scrap."

"I won't let you hurt KOS-MOS or any of my friends," chaos snapped in an angry voice.

"Well, if you join us, we won't hurt her," the man said in a serious tone. chaos's eyes shifted to the ground and he began to think about it. "Come on Yeshua, what is your answer?" chaos gritted his teeth and shut his eyes. What should he do, he didn't know. He should fight to protect KOS-MOS and his friends. Yes, he had to fight this guy, and stop him from hurting his friends.

"chaos!" a group of voices screamed from the right of chaos. The silver-haired man turned to see his friends running towards him. And KOS-MOS was in the lead.

"Damn," the man growled. He cocked his head to the side. "Take care of them."

"Understood," the robed figure from before nodded. He then disappeared into darkness. The man then turned back to chaos, his eyes hard.

"Now, tell me your answer," the man growled in annoyance at how long the man was taking.

"Never!" chaos shouted.

"Fine you stupid bastard, I'll just have to force you even harder," the man sighed as he walked forward, his eyes glaring at chaos with much hate. The man then lifted up his left hand and placed it on chaos's head. "Now, open yourself to my power!" chaos's eyes widened and then went dull, his face slacking as a dark wave of energy spread over his body. He didn't know what it was, and he didn't like it. He tried to fight it, but to no avail. Is this the end was his last thought as his mind began to shut down.

-------------------------------------------------

The group stopped as the robed figure that captured chaos appeared before them. "Sorry losers, but General Sciron or should I say Lord Sciron, doesn't want any distractions," the figure told the group.

"Well tell your damn lord that we don't care," Jr. growled. He pulled out his two guns and pointed them at the man.

"Fine, We'll do this the hard way," the figure sighed. He removed two daggers from his side pockets and pumped some dark energy into them. Now the group were facing two deadly energy blades. "Now, come at me!" Jr. obliged first as he fired a few shots at the figure, who simple did a front flip to land beside Jr. The figure turned on his heel and smashed his left foot into Jr.'s skull, sending him flying onto the ground. He then moved his blades to catch the two blades of Jin and KOS-MOS. He simply pushed the blades up and then sent two separate kicks into their abdomen. The figure then jumped into the air to dodge a slash from Shion's weapon. Allen then pulled out the machine gun he was carrying and fired a few rounds at the figure.

The figure reflected them with his energy, and then landed on the ground, a smile gracing his lips as he watched the worthless humans in front of him. "Too easy," he laughed as he charged back into the battle. KOS-MOS jumped forward and slammed her foot into the ground, which the figure barley dodged. "Damn, she's strong." He felt pain in his back and turned to see Jin with his arm stretched out. The figure's eyes then cocked to the side to stare at the sword in his back, blood dripping slowly onto the floor. "You bastards!" he screamed with all his anger.

"You're not as tough as we thought," came a voice from behind him. He turned to see Shion, Allen, Jr., and KOS-MOS, all with their weapons pointed at the figure.

"Damn," the figure sighed. KOS-MOS fired her cannon, while Allen and Jr. fired their guns. And then Shion launched her weapon, each attack piercing the enemy. The figure fell to his knees, sweat pouring down his face. "How can I lose."

"Guess we are getting stronger," Allen said, striking the tough guy pose.

"I hate you all, I hope you burn in hell, and that U-DO won't save you!" the figure breathed as he fell face first into the ground, and then dissolved into ash. The group sighed as they turned back to where chaos was and ran towards him. They could see a man with his hand on chaos's head, and the silver-haired man in question had his eyes dark and gloomy.

"What's happening?" Shion asked worriedly.

"Sensors pick up abnormal readings coming from chaos, can't pinpoint source however," KOS-MOS reported.

"chaos!" Jin shouted. "Can you hear me." There was no answer, but the black robed man did turn to face them.

"It's too late, soon Yeshua will be on our side," the man laughed.

"Damn you," Jr. growled. "Stop this now!"

"As if," the man laughed, his dark eyes turning back to chaos. "I will not have the journey to the realm of god be stopped. And if you try to interfere, then I'll kill Yeshua." The others watched helplessly as dark energy continued to leak into chaos. If they had to battle him, they all knew that they would lose. No one could fight against chaos, they just hoped somehow that chaos could fight the dark energy, they just hoped.

-------------------------------------------------

"Yeshua," came a soft voice. chaos opened his eyes slowly and gazed lazily around the area. He was in a dark void, and he could see many beings flying around. And being tortured.

"Where am I?" chaos breathed.

"You are in a realm of eternal darkness," a voice replied.

"Who are you?" chaos asked.

"I am the spirit of this realm, and brother to the one you call U-DO, or in other words, god," the voice continued. "My name is D-AM, the dark ruler of all things dark. Also known as Hades in some languages."

"Why am I here? I'm not evil," chaos asked.

"You're right, but, you are being turned that way by a man named Sciron," D-AM said.

"Why is he doing this?" chaos asked again.

"The master of the Council of Dark Lords, want's to use your power to reach the realm of god, and they will do anything to achieve that goal," D-AM replied.

"I've got to stop him," chaos breathed.

"I understand," D-AM said. "I'll lend you power to take him down. But remember, you will still have part of the evil in you. But, when I have something to do in that realm, you'll also be my helper. Am I clear?"

"Yes," chaos said.

"Good, now go protect those people you call friends," D-AM said. "I'll speak to you later." chaos slowly closed his eyes as he felt his power and energy increase. It was time to make Sciron suffer. He just hoped that his friends were okay, more importantly, he hoped that KOS-MOS was okay. His world then began to spin around, he was exiting the realm of darkness, and entering the realm of the living again. He was prepared to fight and save the place he called home.

-------------------------------------------------

Sciron laughed to himself as he continued to press his hand into chaos's head. "Soon we'll be able to reach the realm of god." Everyone watched in horror as the dark energy began to increase its flow.

"chaos!" the others screamed, except for KOS-MOS of course. They were helpless to do anything and they knew it. Their eyes then widened as they saw chaos place a firm hold on Sciron's left arm.

"W-What are you doing?" Sciron breathed nervously. chaos lifted his head, his eyes back to their usual color.

"I'm taking you down," was all chaos breathed as his glove began to glow. He then pounded his left fist into Sciron's arm, making the man scream in pain as his arm was ripped off his body.

"Damn you," Sciron cried as he fell onto the ground, his right hand held tightly where his left arm used to be, it was now completely gone.

"It's over," chaos said as he walked slowly forward.

"Get away!" Sciron cried. A black robed figure appeared beside Sciron and lifted him up. His face turning slightly to the group before him.

"Black Testament!" Shion shouted. "But, how?"

"I'm not the Black Testament you knew, but soon enough, I'll reveal my self to you," was all the man said as he jumped into the air and landed on his E.S. "Oh, and say hello to my E.S., E.S. Shadow Lord." The others looked in horror at the deadly looking E.S. It was tall and had spikes coming out of its shoulders. It wore a long cape, and held a scythe in its right hand. It's head piece was scratched and broken, which made it look horrifying. Black Testament turned slowly around and placed Sciron into the cockpit. "Wait right here, I'll deal with this bastards quick." Sciron nodded as he watched Black Testament jump down onto the ground, a scythe held in his hands.

"You want to fight us," Jr. laughed. "I bet we can beat you just as easily as we beat the last Black Testament."

"Just try it," Black Testament snarled. He swung his scythe around before charging towards the group. Each got into a fighting stance, their weapons ready. And waited for Black Testament to begin the battle. They just hoped that they could back up Jr.'s words.

This guy is stronger than anything we've fought before chaos thought to himself. I just hope we can win. When Black Testament was in range, he pulled his scythe back and swung it out, connecting with Jin's blade. The fight had begun.

A/N: That was the exciting chapter 3, 4 counting the prologue. In the next chapter, the battle between Black Testament begins. MOMO and Ziggy arrive, and the group learns to pilot the new E.S.'s, and a little talk with D-AM. I hope you guys will be ready for the next chapter. I still would like people to guess who they think Blue Testament and Black Testament's identities are. You don't have to, but I won't you to burn your brains, lol. Well, take care, and get ready for my next upload.
