Zoids: Chaotic Century
Chaos Demon
Chapter 5
By, Spectral
**Destroying things**
I finally got around to updating this fic. Sorry if I spelt Shubaltz's name wrong. Spelling really isn't my subject… now back to the destruction. *Continues destruction*
Disclaimer: Spectral doesn't own Zoids or its characters. He does own Rachel, Verte, Justin, and this story.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Shubaltz: I may have a solution to that problem.
Verte, Justin, and Rachel:?
Shubaltz: Follow me.
Shubaltz walked off and Rachel, Justin, and Verte followed quickly. They went all the way to the hanger.
Shubaltz: This… is the War Shark.
Rachel: Wow.
There was a large zoid maintenance platform containing the War Shark in front of them. Justin was curious and Rachel and Verte looked at the zoid with awe.
Shubaltz: The War Shark was being developed to fight the Geno Breaker. We're giving it to you. A member of the Guardian Force should be able to handle it.
Rachel: Really!? You're giving it to me?! WOW! Thank you!
Rachel jumped up and hugged Shubaltz. She then ran over to her new zoid and started looking around it. Justin floated into the air and examined the zoid from above.
After a few minutes they both went back over to Shubaltz and Verte.
Justin: I'd like to see it in battle.
Shubaltz: That brings us to your next assignment.
Rachel: Already? Well what is it?
Shubaltz: This will act as the test for the War Shark. With all the chaos that the Geno Breaker has been causing, we haven't been able to deal with some of the other problems. There's a group of thieves that we want you to take care of.
**Later**
Justin flew above the green War Shark. The zoid was swimming through the ground. They were headed for a forest on the edge of the Republic. Justin was going in first to scare the thieves out of hiding then Rachel would launch a surprise attack.
The demon landed and walked into the forest and the War Shark burrowed into the ground.
**Forest**
Justin was lost. He had been wandering for about half an hour and could find nothing. He was beginning to get bored.
Justin: Hmmm…let's see… if that's the way I came then that only leaves three directions…
Justin continued on his way. A large red zoid passed behind him. The demon turned. It was the Geno Breaker.
Justin remembered what he had been told about Raven and the Geno Breaker. They had killed thousands. Raven was cruel and heartless. Just thinking of all the lost lives at the hands of one person filled the demon with a familiar anger.
One charged particle beam was fired. It nearly missed the Geno Breaker's head. The large zoid turned to see Justin floating in the air behind it, eyes and hands glowing. The demon fired two smaller beams but the zoid put its shield up. The beams dissipated and the shield was lowered.
Justin saw an opening and flew forward. He opened the Geno Breaker's cockpit and pointed one glowing hand directly at Raven's head. The demon noticed something he didn't before. The organoid Shadow was in the claw of the Geno Breaker. It seemed very hurt and charred. Almost dead. The demon looked back at Raven and lowered his hand. He sensed something that told him not to hurt the boy. The Demon of Chaos sped off into the forest as the Geno Breaker continued on its path.
After a few minutes of flying, Justin crashed into a tree. The tree was hurt a lot more than Justin. The tree fell over and Justin wiped the blood off his head. The cut on his head closed by it's self. There was no trace that a cut had ever been there.
He looked around and saw a large building behind him. It had to be the thieves' base. There were about five Command Wolves guarding the base. Justin floated back into the air and prepared to fight. He sped past the guards and broke through a window. He landed in the building and started wandering around. He was looking for the hanger or control room. Either one would be a good place to start the attack.
After a few moments of running, Justin found the hanger. It was stocked with mostly Command Wolves and Rev Raptors but there were a few Pteres. Nothing here would be a threat to him or the War Shark.
The Demon raised his hand and fired a small blast at the nearest Rev Raptor. An alarm went off and the hanger flooded with guards. They all raised guns and one stepped forward.
Thief: Who are you?
Justin: I am the Demon of Chaos. I have come to destroy you thieves.
**Office**
An Old Man sat at a desk. He was the leader of the thieves. The Old Man had been watching the intruder on a monitor since he broke into the base.
This was clearly no ordinary intruder. He seemed to heal injuries instantly and had some sort of high-powered weapon in his hand. When he was revealed as the Chaos Demon, the Old Man's eyes widened in terror, fury, and hate.
**Flashback**
The village was peaceful. It was a quiet point in the war and the soldiers that had left were able to return. Children played and people went about their daily lives.
A twelve-year-old boy was running back home with a back of groceries that his mother asked him to pick up. He arrived at his house and ran inside. He handed the bag to his mother and ran back outside.
The boy was on his way to see his father, a soldier of the Republican Army. He was running through the Village Square when he saw the explosion.
People ran by screaming. The Chaos Demon had arrived at the village. Everyone feared the Demon. Wherever the Demon went, it left nothing but death and destruction. It held no loyalties and spared no one. Neither army was able to stop it. It had destroyed thousands of units with a wave of its hand. Anything in its way was destroyed. Now it had come to the Stone Colony.
There were more explosions and screaming people. Zoids walked up behind the boy. The young child dove into a nearby alcove and watched. It was a small collection of zoids. Three Pteres, a Command Wolf, two Shield Ligers, and his father's zoid; a Goldos. The Demon came into view. It was flying some twenty feet above the ground, hands glowing. It appeared to be a young boy. The Demon's eyes were glowing as well and its mouth was curved into an evil grin. Its black and red clothes made it look even more sinister.
The boy flinched as the zoids opened fire. They appeared to run out of ammo as the smoke began to clear. Every shot hit its target. There was a collective gasp of shock and horror as the Demon emerged from the smoke without a scratch.
The Demon raised its hands and large beams of destruction fired. All three Pteres were vaporized. The Demon then turned its attention to the remaining zoids. The Shield Ligers put up their shields but it was no use. One swipe of the Demon's arm left nothing but melted metal.
The boy was in shock. The Demon broke into maniacal laughter and began destroying buildings. Soon, the entire village was reduced to rubble.
The boy somehow survived the entire attack. There was no one else. Where the center of the village had been, stood the Demon. It had stopped glowing and was looking at the flames and destruction it had caused.
The boy clenched his fist in anger. He looked up, filled with rage, at the Demon that had destroyed his life. The boy picked up the sharpest rock he could find and walked over to the Demon.
Boy: DEMON!
The Demon turned to face the boy. The child raised the rock into the air and ran forward. He stabbed the Demon in the heart and left the rock. An expression of shock was plastered on the boy's face when the Demon just pulled the rock out of its chest. There was a bloody hole where the rock had been. The Chaos Demon crushed the rock and the hole in its chest started to shrink. It closed completely and its shirt repaired its self as well.
The boy started to back away but the Demon grabbed him by the collar of his shirt. He was lifted off the ground and was brought face-to-face with the Demon. Cold, dead, pupil and irisless eyes stared into his.
Demon: That was a stupid move, kid. A brave move, but a stupid one nonetheless. You could have gotten away but you chose to die instead.
The boy was held at arm's length as the Demon brought one glowing fist back. The Demon hesitated when he saw the boy's eyes filled with cold hatred and fear. The Demon's expression changed from one of evil to confusion. It dropped the boy and flew back about twenty feet.
The boy was just as confused as the Demon. The Demon took off into the air and flew away. The boy got up off the ground and stared at the retreating Chaos Demon.
**End Flashback**
That boy grew up to become the Old Man behind the desk. The Leader of the Thieves got up and stormed out of his office.
**Hanger**
Nothing had changed. The thieves and Justin hadn't moved. The Old Man busted into the room and pulled out his gun. He pointed it directly at Justin.
Old Man: This is for destroying my life. KILL HIM!
Everyone opened fire. Bullets flew through the air again and again. The gunshots stopped and there was a pile of crushed bullets where Justin was. Light came from within the pile and something shot into the air. It was Justin. He fired one large charged particle beam through the roof. It was the signal to attack. The War Shark smashed into the room. It retreated back into the ground as the thieves jumped into their zoids.
The zoids charged outside and Justin followed. The War Shark fired from underground and Justin bombarded the enemy with charged particle blasts from above. Soon there was nothing left but the leader's Iron Kong.
The War Shark flew from the ground and smashed into the Iron Kong. It came around for another attack but the Iron Kong caught it in mid-air. The large zoid pointed its wrist-mounted cannons at the War Shark's head and prepared to fire.
A charged particle beam removed the Iron Kong's arm. The War Shark fell and opened fire. The Iron Kong went down.
**Hours Later**
The Military Police arrived and took the thieves away. Rachel and Verte were standing next to the War Shark and Justin was hovering in the air next to them. The Gustav drove off and Rachel turned to Justin. The computer in the War Shark beeped and Rachel jumped inside to see what it wanted.
Rachel: It looks like we another assignment.
Justin: Really? What is it?
Rachel: It didn't say… we just have to report to this location….
Justin: That's it?
Rachel: Yeah… well let's go…
