Chapter 34: Roscoso Vs Chaos Part 2

Chaos laughed, as Ross got ready for him. There wasn't a chance that he would let this guy beat him. Chaos clenched his fists together and pounded them against the ground, creating a wave of earth in all directions around him. Ross teleported high into the air to avoid it, and faced one palm in the opposite direction he was facing. "Chaos Blast!" The recoil from the explosion sent him flying straight at Chaos.

The Black Guardian sent an enormous fireball at Ross. The Pokemorph drew out a Life Aura. "Chaos Shield!" The fireball was stopped in its tracks by the shield, and it dissipated. At the same time, Ross fell to the ground. Chaos punched at Ross with all of his strength. "Chaos Control!" Time slowed down for him, and Ross jumped onto Chaos's slowly-moving fist. He ran up his arm, and as time came back to normal speed, he let loose a Hyper beam straight in Chaos's face.

The Black Guardian grunted in pain. He smacked Ross away, and collected an orb of energy in his hand, and threw it into the ground. A trio of featureless monsters spawned from the newly-created portal. Ross charged electricity into his hands with the Life Aura, and let loose a storm of attacks at one of the monsters, at the same time keep one eye on Chaos, avoiding the attacks from his direction. The first monster dropped, and dissolved into darkness.

As the other two monsters came at him, Ross charged them, and jumped into the air. He flipped in midair, grabbed each of them by the head, and slammed them together. He landed, and attacked both with a burst of electricity. They each dropped to the ground, and dissolved like the first.

Ross suddenly got the wind knocked out of him by two more monsters landing kicks in his side. He took a deep breath, and destroyed them both without missing a beat. However, more monsters kept on coming. "Can't worry about these things or Chaos'll get me. Gotta go for him." He got past the monsters by jumping on top of their heads, and went for Chaos again. He charged chaos energy, and fired it at Chaos. The Guardian of Discord deflected it, and fired one of his own at Ross, who barely avoided getting fried.

When he saw the crater it made in the ground, Ross couldn't help but let out a low whistle. "I'd hate to see what would happen if...two of them...hit each other..." An idea was forming in his mind. It was a very crazy, very dangerous idea, and if he did it wrong he'd be in a really bad way, but it would be an almost guaranteed knock-out for Chaos.

"Psycho Boost!" He attacked Chaos with psychic energy. Chaos created a magical shield, and created a quartet of spectral swords that hovered around him. With hand gestures, he sent them flying at Ross. The Pokemorph barely avoided them. "Time to bring out the big guns. Chaos Deoxys!"

In a burst of light, Ross entered his Pokemorph form. "Psychic." He raised his arms, and boulders that had been knocked free of the earth came to hover around them. They flew at Chaos, who was battered all over.

"Chaos Blast!" The Black Guardian unleashed an explosion of energy at Ross. Ross retaliated with his own Chaos Blast, and when they met, it created an even greater explosion. However, Ross was disheartened to see that it wasn't very big at all. Because he'd been taken by surprise, he didn't have the time to created a very powerful Chaos Blast.

"Come on, come on, think of something," Ross said to himself as he avoided Chaos's attacks. "Psychic!" The boulders hovered again, and Chaos created a shield. However, this time, the rocks didn't fly at him, but at each other. They formed what looked distinctly like a pair of giant arms. Major understatement. A single arm was as large as Chaos himself. Each one started to glow red, as they were infused with chaos energy to strengthen them. "I think I'll call it, Chaos Fist." Ross clenched his fingers, and the hands mimicked him.

Ross threw continuous punches at Chaos. The Black Guardian created energy bursts that would knock pieces off, only for them to be restored. Ross put his hands together, and slammed them over Chaos's head. Chaos blocked him with a shield, and pushed away from himself, causing the shield to push the hands away.

However, Ross made one mistake. He forgot about the monsters Chaos had made.

Two grabbed his arms, keeping them still. He tried to fight them off, but they held on tight, as two others grabbed his legs. He lost his focus, and the rock arms dropped to the ground, shaking the earth. Free from distractions, Chaos laughed.

"Take this, little hero. Not as strong as you thought, well, don't worry. I'm sure that you're not the only one who lost." Energy gathered in Chaos's fists. "I am one of the strongest of the Black Guardians. The ones of the primary elements, even Sky and Insanity for that matter, do not even compare in strength to myself, and the Guardians of Beasts, Light, and Darkness, let alone the Guardians of Humanity and Fantasy. Give it up, already.

"Chaos Blast!!!"

For a moment, from Ross' point of view, everything seemed to slow down. As the chaos blast came at him, he saw the Life Auras appear around him. Energy burst from them, evaporating the monsters, and creating a bubble of energy around him that blocked the attack.

As the light cleared, Chaos looked almost surprised that Ross was still in one piece, let alone alive. But then he saw the Life Auras, and his eyes narrowed. All he said was "Hmph. So that's how you did it."

"Yep," Ross said, grinning, his arms held out at his sides. "You say you're amazing because you're the Guardian of Discord, well, I'm the Guardian of the Life Auras." The Life Auras began to glow again, as Ross charged energy. Chaos saw what he was doing, and stood his ground to fight back."

"Chaos..."

"Chaos..."

"BLAST!!!"

As their attacks met in the middle, both would have been destroyed completely were this between two ordinary humans. However, Ross was protected by the Life Auras. While Chaos, being semi-immortal, would be reduced to ashes, and revived once again.

And that is exactly what happened.

The flames around them cleared. The monsters vanished. All around them, the scenery returned to what it had been before. A blank white. Ross returned to his normal form, and the Life Auras vanished. About five feet from him, he saw a man appear. However, it was strange. His appearance flickered. One minute, he was that man. The next, he was the devil-like being that was Chaos. And the next after that, he was a tall man in a suit of armor.

Unpredictable, unstable, this was Chaos incarnate.

"Perhaps, not so, after all," Chaos said. "Remember what I said, hero. The Guardians of Fantasy and Humanity are the most powerful. There are three others who are as strong as I. All of the others...it would take three working together to destroy me. Do you understand?"

"I get it," Ross said casually. "Just because I beat you doesn't mean that we've won, because it's equally likely that somebody else'll get killed." He crossed his arms over his chest. "At least, that's what you would have said. However, I say something different." He grinned.

"My friends won't go down that easily." Ross made a two-fingered salute, and pulled out his own yellow Life Aura. "Chaos, Control!"

A/N: I know. This took a really, really, really long time. Three week gap. But, it's finally out, it's a decent length (especially for what I've been doing with these fights), and I think I did pretty well writing it.

Ross takes on the Guardian of Discord, and manages to come out on top. But how will X Prodigy, the Hollow Devil, face against Anima, the Guardian of Darkness, and perhaps even stronger than Chaos? Find out next time!
