Chapter 52

Untitled

Chaos took a deep breath.

"Isn't there some other way we could do this, Cody?" she announced as the author gave her a cautious glance. "I shouldn't have said that..."

The author only sighed.

"Yes." he announced and took a deep breath, motioning for her to lay down. "But, I can deal with it when the time comes."

With that, his partner laid down, allowing the sweet release of sleep to take her in. Her mind wandered, dreaming of 'those' days, of a time before the digitalverse. There, things were always in a state of constant flux, with little ever being set in stone. Thankfully, she was one of those things.

The white mage was to be a turncoat, betraying the digidestined at the worst possible moment. Or would have, if the author actually managed to get that far. Sometimes these stories would be a short burst on the page, lasting just long enough for the author to try something out. Not that she really got to do anything, outside of 'killing' Davis Motomiya's parents for some reason. Other times, he would manage to bring something longer, usually lasting a couple of pages. But as time went on, things started to change. Eventually, a second girl 'Nina' was added and her role began to diminish. For a time, she was the leader of the dark blades. But even that wasn't enough to prevent her slow and painful decline. And then 'they', came into existence. You know, everyone's favorite characters.

The white mage hated 'those' days. All they ever stood for was a constant reminder of everything that she done wrong, of all the times the author would scold her and attempt to offer suggestions to do instead of ripping part another group of digidestined. Even when Cody grew fed up and straight up exiled her to a small enclosure under Heck with a large population of scorceressmon, he had asked her to think upon what had happened, promising to let her out when she had thought up a proper Maybe, he hoped that the white mage would reflect on her actions and come to a decision.

And for a time, Chaos did attempt to do just that. That, or she was planning to wait it out in the hopes that the author would change his mind. But that decision never changed.

Eventually, anger grabbed hold and she grew bitter, wanting to tear apart all that her master had created so he would be forced to focus her once more. Her plan was crazy at best, suicidal at worst. There were probably better options, but they had meant nothing to her in that moment. So, she 'kidnapped' all those characters, hoping that they would destroy each other, leaving her with a suitable opponent to defeat. For added insurance, the white mage found herself a throne and reupholstered it too look like skin for some reason. Because you know, that would totally work.

It went as well as one would think this sort of thing would go. Very badly. Somehow, everyone's favorite character had managed to 'survive'. Yet, Chaos was confident that she could take him and come out victorious.

A trio of heroes, gave their lives for an entire multiverse. She doubted even the author knew their reasons to do such a thing. What followed, was two 'executions'. The first, was a weird puppet show to defeat her. The second, occurred on the author's birthday, the result of her being cocky.

She remembered the look he had that day, one of disappointment and regret. Neither of them wanted to be in this situation, but knew the consequences of letting such an action go unpunished.

Maybe it was in that moment, just as the entire multiverse was about to make contact with head and bringing a possible end to her life, that the white mage finally understood where she had went wrong. Yet, at the same, she was willing to accept the end of her life with as much gusto that a person about to have a multiverse collided into could possibly have. Yet, fate had other plans for her, with the actual impact do far less damage than one would have expected..

.

For the author, there was only one shot.

Even as he stared at the body his 'partner' would soon reside in, doubt seemed to slowly creep in. Outside, Valia, Usagi and Chibi were taking Chacha on, all so she could be eliminated from the order. He had asked his servants to keep the structural damage to a minimum, especially since the robot vampire digimon was still bitter about no longer being a protagonist.

"No time like the present." he thought and took a deep breath, placing his left hand on Chaos's side. "Export."

Energy quickly surged out of the fragile body of the white mage, eventually taking on a shape similar to its vessel. All that remained was a blob of dried-up lifeless clay, glad to have to done such a service.

But as that process finished up, the author felt something. It was a presence, one that felt familiar to him. Yet at the same time, quite distant and faded. It was the sort that made a person cautious.

"Okay?" Cody remarked and sighed, returning his focus to the task at hand. He then pulled a tattered black notebook out, quickly flipping through the pages. "Now, where is her's..."

The contents of the notebook weren't anything that special, mostly consisting of a bunch of character sheets that he used as reference notes. Sometimes, there we

With that now out of the way, the author closed the notebook and placed a hand on both the old and new bodies.

"Import."

He watched the energy fly towards its new vessel, getting absorbed into the doll body. Next came the outfit, appearing forth from a burst of light. Now, he just needed to wait. Not that long mind you, but it really depended on the soul.

"Ugh…" Chaos whispered as her eyes opened, focusing in on the author.

"So, what do you think?" the author asked and watched the white mage examine his handiwork. Yet, the white mage didn't answer, choosing instead to wrap her arms around him in a brief hug. "Good. I'm glad you liked it."

For now, they would savor this moment. After that, who could really know.

Notes:

This was a fun one to write, even if it was written quite a bit in advance due to work. I just wanted to talk about the stuff before Hunters was published.

The biggest debate I had was whether to have Chaos get cut off or not at the start. While I'm fine with people knowing my actual first name, it makes referring to anything related to 02 and/or Tri a lot harder. Oh well, I can deal with that.

The teaser for year 4 will be up in the next couple days.
