Climax of Souls.
Stitch watched Chaos, keeping his power within easy reach. Chaos watched Stitch, the darkness tentacles writhing behind him. Both combatants stared each other down, Stitch, a literal angel hearkened on wings of binary, and Chaos, the fallen experiment. Neither of them spoke, there was no more need for words. There was no need for taunting banter, it was now a worthless practice. There was only one thing left to do, there was only one action left. It was the final judgement, the final testing of the souls...
Without words, the combatants charged. Their boots hit the marble with resounding thumps. With each step, they grew closer to the final confrontation. Above them, the family watched, as silent as the two warriors below, their hearts echoing with the boots thumping below. Stitch and Chaos, charged each other, teeth bared, anger flowing in their eyes. Stitch ran forward, memories of happy times flowing through his mind, all with the reminder that all of it would be lost should Chaos win this battle. Chaos ran forward, knowing that his ideals were at stake, that if he lost, he would never reach his rightful place as ruler. Experiments both of them, warriors, and in their own rights...gods...
They met in the middle, both swung their fists. The blows collided, and a loud crashing noise, almost at the crescendo of an explosion, rocketed the room. The final battle, had finally begun...
Stitch and Chaos began fighting with ferocity unknown to man. Their blows tore at each other, each blocking the others blows expertly, yet each tearing through the others defenses like paper. Stitch fought with all his might, focusing his power, he swung the Omega Sword with deft skill and agility. Chaos fought with all of his hatred, driving it outward to the one target that could impede his progress, he slashed with the darkness blades with almost perfect finesse and with driving strength.
Back and forth the battle raged, both opponents showing no sign of weakness. Both warriors showing no signs of fatigue. They both raged on, battling with all their strength, fighting with all their hearts...
It was Chaos who broke free first. Chaos ducked suddenly, and arched his body backwards, hands on the ground with the feet near Stitch. Chaos pushed upwards, and his feet shot towards Stitch, kicking Stitch violently in the face. Stitch flew off of his feet, and was suspended in mid-air. With unbelievable speed, Chaos rose, and ran to where Stitch was suspended in air, and bringing his hands together in a ball, smashed them into Stitch's stomach, sending Stitch into the ground. Chaos brought his blades up high, and smashed them into the ground...to find that Stitch was not there.
Stitch had rolled to the side, anticipating Chaos's blow. Chaos slammed the blades into the ground, and looked up right as Stitch sent a painful kick to Chaos's head. Chaos flew backwards, his head spinning from the powerful blow. Stitch ran up beside Chaos, while Chaos was still in mid-air, and grabbed him by the neck. Stitch ran straight to the next column, still holding Chaos, and slammed Chaos into the column. Holding Chaos there, Stitch pounded Chaos's gut with punches and knee kicks. Stitch raised the blade to finish Chaos, pointed it at Chaos's black heart, and was about to drive it in when—
darkness all of a sudden covered Stitch's vision. He had been too distracted to see the black tentacle crawl around, and wrap itself around his head. Chaos laughed, and lifted Stitch high into the air, and slammed him into the ground. Stitch retaliated by grabbing the tentacle, his golden claws flashed, and pure energy shot into the tentacle. Chaos screamed in pain, and dropped Stitch. Stitch reacted quickly, he grabbed the tentacle, and turned, and swung Chaos around the room, slamming him into pillars, walls, and finally the floor.
Stitch leapt high into the air, bringing his energy to his hands, he formed two balls of energy. Stitch flung them at the spot that Chaos was laying. Chaos saw the balls coming, and thinking quickly, formed the darkness around him in a shield. The light slammed into the darkness, driving Chaos deeper into the floor. Stitch landed, and charged for the spot, knowing that Chaos would soon appear from the hole. Sure enough, Chaos arose, and sent a barrage of lances towards Stitch. Stitch saw them coming, and dodged from side to side, avoiding most of the lances. Yet one of them caught his foot, and oozed around it, grasping his ankle. Two more tentacles wrapped themselves around Stitch's arms, and he was lifted high into the air.
The tentacles slammed him into a wall above. Stitch reacted by wrapping his arms around the tentacles, and grasping them firmly, he wrenched his body around. The force shot Chaos from the ground, and he was sent flying across the room, where he slammed into the wall. Stitch formed another pair of energy attacks, and launched them at Chaos. Chaos turned, still embedded in the wall, and saw the attacks coming. He once again raised the barrier, and the attacks once again uselessly drove him into the wall. Stitch wasted no time, he leapt at the area that Chaos was embedded in. Chaos let down his shielding, to see Stitch flying towards him, yet Chaos could not react fast enough to the attack, and Stitch sent a punishing blow to Chaos's face.
The force of the blow was enough to knock Chaos through the wall, where he landed in one of the many hallways. Stitch landed right next to the fallen Chaos. Chaos saw this opportunity, and twisted on the ground, sending his legs around in a circle, tripping Stitch. Chaos rose quickly, grabbed Stitch by the shin, and spun around, and sent Stitch flying back into the main room.
Stitch landed with a thud in the main room, the Omega Sword flying from his hand and skittering away. Chaos had leapt through the hole in the wall, and landed some distance from Stitch. Stitch drew in his power, and once more the Omega Sword flew to him. Chaos watched this, and chuckled, and broke the silence by saying, "Why bother? It's just a useless piece of scrap now..."
Stitch looked at the Omega sword, then at Chaos, and he smiled. Stitch reached down, and pulled back the pommel, revealing the chamber that the green liquid was once housed in. Stitch pulled out the small tube, and held it in his right hand. He then grasped the sword, and with his left hand, grasped the blade. He pulled quickly, cutting the palm of his hand. Chaos watched all this, confusion open on his face. Stitch brought the tube beneath his left hand, and clenching his hand, dropped several drops of shimmering golden blood in the tube. Stitch then reinserted the tube in the pommel, and pushed the pommel back in place, and the sword came alive. It vibrated violently, humming with a fierce intensity, the synapses were filled with the golden liquid, and the sword began to blaze gold.
Stitch swung the sword, testing it, it stopped humming, and was silent. He then looked to Chaos, and rose the sword, and waited. Chaos didn't move, so Stitch spoke, in that same powerful voice, saying, "Come demon, come...and I shall send you to Hell..."
Chaos glared at Stitch in rage, and charged. Chaos extended his blades, and Stitch reared back and swung the Omega Sword. The blades clashed, and once again the battle raged. Stitch attacked savagely, swinging the sword with incredible speed. Chaos blocked the blows, but each time the Omega Sword hit his blades, a huge pang shot through his arms, and he knew it to be the Seraphim Code reacting to the Black Virus. Stitch didn't back off, he drove the sword to Chaos, battering at Chaos's defenses, seeking to shatter them. Chaos began to grow nervous, sweat beaded on his brow. Stitch swung the sword horizontally, knocking Chaos's blades aside, Stitch then raised the blade and was about to finish the job when Chaos leapt backwards onto a wall.
Chaos grasped the wall with his claws, and concentrated his energy, forming an entire legion of dark lances. Chaos flung his arm forward, shouting incoherently at the top of his lungs, and the barrage of lances shot towards Stitch. Stitch saw the lances coming, and knew he had to think quickly. Stitch slammed the sword into the ground, and slammed his fists together, focusing his energy, he created a pulsing barrier of golden light. The tentacles slammed into the barrier, and were instantly disintegrated. Chaos felt the burning as his tentacles were melted away, and he ceased the attack, and held his place on the wall, a plan formulating in his mind.
Stitch released the barrier, and grabbing the Omega Sword, leapt to the place that Chaos was occupying. Chaos grabbed the wall, he grabbed it tightly, breaking off a small chunk of it, and squeezed it tightly until it was ground into dust. Stitch flew at Chaos, sword raised, prepared to finish it– when Chaos reared back, and through the dust into Stitch's eyes!
The dust hit Stitch's eyes, and Chaos moved to the side, and Stitch slammed into the wall. Chaos shot the darkness to Stitch, and wrapped it around Stitch's body. He rose Stitch high in the air, and slammed Stitch into the ground. He then threw Stitch upwards, with the darkness still wrapped around Stitch's body. Stitch hit the ceiling, and the tentacles stayed there. Chaos leapt upwards, and grabbed Stitch by the neck with one hand, and with the other, pointed a blade at Stitch's throat. Chaos planted the darkness into the ceiling, holding himself there.
Stitch tried to move, but found that he couldn't get out of the darkness cocoon. He felt inside his hand, and found that the Omega Sword was still there, wrapped in the darkness. Stitch looked around, he had to think!
Chaos smirked, and keeping the blade pointed to Stitch's neck, said, "How does it feel? The utter hopelessness of it, knowing that your doom is mere minutes away?"
Stitch thought of something, he remembered how he had charged the sword. Chaos continued to speak, "I'll say you had me worried there for a moment, but as you can see, I am truly the omnipotent one. And you? You are just an obsolete failure..."
Stitch bit into his tongue, and golden blood trickled into his mouth. Chaos brought the blade back, and said, "Will you say any last words before your judgement? Before I bring proper justice to you?"
Stitch looked Chaos straight in the eye, and said, "There's always one thing about justice that always fascinated me..."
Chaos looked at him quizzically, and Stitch answered, "It's blind..."
Stitch reared back, and spat the golden blood in Chaos's left eye. Chaos screamed in agony as his eye melted away with the power of the Seraphim Code. Chaos released his grip on Stitch, and fell to the ground below. Stitch grabbed the Omega Sword, and pushed off the ceiling, sending himself flying towards Chaos.
Chaos slammed into the ground, and from his one good eye, watched as Stitch descended upon him. Stitch twisted upright, landing feet first on Chaos's gut. Chaos flinched from the blow. Stitch raised the Omega Sword high in the air, and brought it down, piercing through Chaos's chest. Chaos screamed as the golden blade pierced him. Stitch reached down, and pulled back the pommel saying, "Chaos...thy judgement has been passed..."
Chaos looked at him, horror in his eyes that this was the end. Stitch looked into those eyes, and finished, "You have been found wanting."
Stitch slammed the pommel down, and the sword came alive, its power driving into Chaos. The power flowed into Chaos, and Chaos screamed in agony. Stitch leapt from Chaos, and stood some distance away, watching as Chaos was finished.
The power tore through Chaos, tearing through his body, eating away his innards. Chaos thrashed about on the ground, screaming in agony. Chaos wrenched his body around, drove his one eye to the observation room. He saw Serenity standing there, watching. Chaos reached out to her, pleadingly. Chaos watched, as Serenity, with tearful eyes, turned from him. Chaos let his arm fall, all hope had abandoned him. He turned to Stitch, as the sword reached the peak of its power, and uttered in his dying breath, "Atonement...at last..."
There was a blinding flash. Stitch turned, covering his eyes from the light. The light lasted for nearly a minute, and then it finally abated. Stitch turned to see that Chaos was gone, there was nothing on the ground, but black ashes. The Omega Sword dimmed, its power was spent. Stitch watched in silence, and he noticed a single white feather, slowly fluttering to the ground. Stitch watched as the feather fell, and hit the ground. At the moment it hit the ground, it turned to black dust...
Stitch nodded, and said, "As you said Chaos, 'Judgement, above all things...'."
Stitch turned to the wall of experiments, there was still one thing left to do...
