Chaos glided down to the front gate with Jerseck close behind. She landed and walked straight up to them.
"What business do you have here?" the humongous guard asked the much smaller Chaos.
"I'm here on official business," she answered,
"What business would that be?"
"What part of Official don't you understand?" she snapped, eye's glowing.
"Oh, Ooops" he fumbled and opened the gate, "I didn't know it was you, General Chaos". Chaos walked through the gate, "Um, Miss. Chaos?"
*Sigh* "Yes?" she turned to find the guard stopping Jerseck,
"Him too?"
"Oh" she looked at Jerseck, "I suppose". The guard lifted his huge pitchfork and allowed Jerseck in. Then he closed the huge gates. Not that they would keep these 2 demons in. The compound had no roof. Chaos and Jerseck walked to the front office and went inside. Jerseck went and scouted the holding cells while Chaos talked to the clerk in the office.
"I'm looking for a kat," she stated,
"Which one?" the male clerk joked. Chaos growled. "Um...name?"
"Chance Furlong". The clerk fumbled around on the computer for a moment. Chaos looked up to see how Jerseck was doing but he was preoccupied. He was too busy chatting up another female guard. Chaos snickered and shook her head.
"Miss. Chaos?"
"Yes" she turned back, "Which cell?"
"He's not in a cell, Miss."
"Why not?"
"He refused to go in, we lost 2 guards to the infirmary". Chaos sighed,
"That's T-bone"
"Excuse me Miss?"
"No nothing, where is he then?"
"He's in the open yard with a few others"
"What!" snapped Chaos, as she turned full on to the clerk, "You can't leave him there!"
"Miss. there's no where else to keep him until his trial"
"The Soul Reaver's will get him!"
"Oh, you mean the worms?"
"Yes, the ones with all those sharp teeth" she commented sarcastically,
"Oh Ma'am, we haven't had them for a while now" he stated,
"But they're still around"
"Yes Ma'am, they are"
"Well, if I can get this Kat to go into a cell, will you let him?"
"If you can, yes Miss" the clerk nodded.
"Good, where is this yard?"
"Over in the far corner Ma'am," the clerk pointed to a fenced-in yard in the far corner of the compound.
"Thankyou" she stated as she walked off, "Jerseck!" she called,
"Oop's, gotta go, call me?" he said as he flew down to meet her, "Where is he?"
"Holding pen"
"What!"
"Yeh, I know, let's go find him," she stated as they walked over to the gates that led in. The guard let them in and closed it straight behind them.
"Um, Chaos?"
"Yes Jerseck?"
"What exactly does this Kat look like?" they continued to walk though the yard. All the souls watched there every move. Most of them have been there for most of there after life.
"Yellow with brown stripped arms, brawny" she continued,
"Like that one?" Jerseck said pointing to a Kat sitting on a rock in a corner. Chaos's face lit up,
"Exactly like that one!" she ran over to him, "T-bone?" The kat looked up immediately.
"What did you call me?" it said, Chaos stepped back,
"That's not him" she sighed, "I'm looking for someone?"
"Why should I help a stinking demon like you?" Jerseck went to step forward but Chaos stopped him,
"Let him be" she stated. Jerseck looked at her oddly,
"Why?" She smirked,
"He'll get his just deserves from the magistrate". The Kats face turned to terror,
"W-who ya lookin' for?"
"A large kat by the name of Chance, or T-bone"
"A SWAT Kat?" A number of souls looked at that remark.
"Yes"
"Jezz, must be pretty bad up there for a SWAT Kat to die, Yeh I saw him"
"Where?"
"Around, I can't tell ya exactly". Chaos sighed,
"Never mind then" She walked off into the crowd of souls, they all jumped back out of the way when she came through. Jerseck ran over to her, she was nearly at the gate.
"What are you doing?"
"He's not here"
"How do you know?"
"He would have come forward by now"
"Hey give me a chance.." a faint voice came from the crowd. Chaos shot around as a large brawny kat made his way through the crowd of on lookers, "I had to make me way through all a' that" he stated as he walked up to her. Chaos smiled,
"Hey big guy" she said, as he got closer.
"So this is the famous T-bane". Chaos elbowed him in the stomach,
"That's T-bone! Idiot" she looked around at all the souls watching. She growled. Some souls backed off and went back to their business, but others were stubborn and stayed. Jerseck walked over near them and stood here for a moment, then he threw his paws into the air and a huge wall of blue flames rose out of the ground. This act scared the sh*t out of the on lookers and they ran off.
"Thankyou Jerseck" stated Chaos,
"No prob" he answered as he stood there and kept watch. She looked back at the kat that stood before her.
"Why'd ya come?" he asked,
"I have a debt to pay off to a certain living kat," she stated. T-bone's eyes light up,
"So he survived?"
"He's fine"
"Phew" he relaxed, "Any how, why am I down here?"
"I don't rightfully know" she stated, "Why wouldn't you go into a cell?"
"Out here there's more room to move" he stated,
"It's dangerous out here, come back into a cell"
"No!" he snapped, crossing his arms.
"T-bone" she sighed, "You could even loose your after life here"
"Yeh, how?" Suddenly the ground began to shake and the alarms went off in the compound, "Me and my big mouth" T-bone commented. Then a humongous worm with lotsa teeth came up out of the ground and grabbed a few souls and swallowed them. It continued to eat others.
"That's how!" yelled Chaos. She grabbed T-bone up and ran behind a huge rock.
"What does it eat?" he asked,
"Souls mostly, but when ever it gets a chance, it'll pick off a few demons" she stated, "Jerseck!" He turned, "Get out of here!"
"Not with out you!" he called back,
"Wont it go away after a while?" asked T-bone,
"Yeh, after it's eaten all the souls in the compound yard" she looked down at T-bone. T-bone gulped, "But that doesn't include you!" she snapped as she raced out form behind the rock and forward at the worm. Jerseck ran with her,
"Jerseck, get T-bone outta here!"
"No, I'm heplin' you!"
"Get him out, get the other's, then help me!" she snapped as she leapt up and took flight. Jerseck stopped and looked back at T-bone, he was running after them too.
"What's she doin'?" he asked Jerseck,
"Bein' the hero!" he stated as he swept T-bone up and took flight out of the yard. The worm spotted the 2 and started after them.
"No!" screamed Chaos as she saw what was happening.
"Um Jerseck" T-bone pointed behind them, Jerseck looked,
"SH*T!" he cursed as he flew faster. Chaos flew at the worm and aimed a fireball at it. It hit it straight on. It groaned and fell to its side for a moment but then started off again. Jerseck flew out of the compound with T-bone and straight to the barracks. He screeched at the top of his lungs. This nearly burst T-bones eardrums. Suddenly about 15 flying demons flew up to meet Jerseck.
"Code 3647d" he called to the fleet. They all sped off towards the compound. "Now, what to do with you" he looked around.
"Your not leavin' me outta this!" snapped T-bone.
"Why should I trust you?" snapped Jerseck,
"Chaos does!" snapped T-bone back,
"Good point" Jerseck started back to the compound.
"Why are you doin' this?" asked T-bone
"The souls are like our income, we gotta keep as many as we can," he stated as he set T-bone down at the clerk's office and then took flight again at the worm. T-bone knew he couldn't help. So he had to watch with the clerk. He saw the unison the fleet flew in, and 2 other demons that flew in unison, that had to be Chaos and Jerseck. They were doing well until another worm decided to join in on the fun. It was allot smaller but still was a nuisance. The fleet started to fall, one by one, and the worm's devourer them until it was only Chaos, Jerseck and one other left. Chaos was right beside the other when the smaller worm grabbed it.
"Oh no you don't!" snapped Chaos as she grabbed the demons arms. She saw the horror in the demons eyes and the worm struggled to take it.
"C'mon!" she pulled with all her might,
"Chaos!!" yelled Jerseck. Chaos looked to her side to find the larger worm coming at her. She had to let go of the demon to get away. She flew straight up. When she got a safe distance away she looked back down to see the other demon get devourer. She lowered her head in disappointment. Jerseck had disposed of the smaller worm but was having a little trouble with the bigger one.
"Chaos!" he called. Chaos snapped out of it and flew down. She got close to the worm and was gathering up a fireball when Jerseck let one rip. The worm seemed to deflect it somehow and it hit Chaos head on. She got flung into the far fence and was knocked out. Jerseck went to fly to her but the worm knocked him down. T-bone could see this entire happening. He wanted to help. He looked around and saw the large guards pitch fork sitting there. He grabbed it and ran towards the battle. The worm was advancing on Jerseck.
"Hey Worm!!" yelled T-bone, the worm looked at him, "Catch!!!" He threw the fork with all his might. It hit the worm right in the chest, but it didn't fall. It started to go towards T-bone,
"Crud!" he cursed as he ran. Chaos had come to and saw what was happening. She knew she couldn't get there in time. She stood up and started to gather up another fireball. A much bigger one this time. He eye's started to glow red with the immense power she was harnessing. The fireball actually started to burn her hands.
"Hey Soul Reaver!" her voice echoed. The worm turned and Chaos let rip the ball. It flew at the worm with tremendous speed. It hit dead on. The worm began to glow red as the fireball engulfed it. Then it exploded. Worm guts went everywhere. Chaos collapsed to one knee as she battled to catch her breathe. T-bone and Jerseck ran over to her.
"WooH!! Nice general!!" called Jerseck. Chaos smiled.
"You ok?" asked a rather concerned T-bone. She looked up at him and saw that he was all right,
"I...am...now" she panted. They both smiled as they helped her up.
