Chapter III: Clash

"I need your assistance in destroying some foes of mine, Loki."

"I understand, Master Chaos…" "These children…"

"Hold on, did you say children? Then this'll be a piece of cake!"

"Hold it, Loki. These children are part dragon, and they have much experience. They were reborn when Travis Long noticed my presence. Do not fail me…" The darkness disappeared and the shape shifter known as Loki stood in the rain.

"Well…" He began. "This'll be fun."

… … … … …

Jake sat watching TV at Travis's house, resting. "Wow," He began. "These future shows are better than those ones one thousand years ago (Yes, it has been that long)."

"Of course, all channels are H.D. III." Travis explained.

"H.D. III?" Jake asked.

"The latest version of H.D. TV."

"I see…"

"We interrupt this program for a special news bulletin, a giant three headed dragon is attacking the city! Somebody save us!" A reporter cried.

"Sounds like trouble," Travis said.

"We're on it." Hannah said. "Dan, you coming?"

"No… I rather stay here and think…"

"Okay… if you say so… let's go Jake!"

… … … … …

Jake and Hannah watched from the shadows as the dragon changed to human form as Chaos appeared. "They are here, Loki. Be prepared."

"I am, master."

"Loki?" Jake asked. "I guess he's been working with Chaos for all these years." Jake said.

"Let's go Jake." Hannah said.

"Here they come, Loki! Fight, make your master proud!" Chaos jumped onto a building and watched. "Kill them!"

"Hah, hah, hah! Lets go children, Master has told me much about you!" Loki morphed into a wolf and howled. "Lets go!" Loki jumped onto Jake and growled.

"Take this!" Hannah blasted Loki with an ice spell. Loki was no in an ice cube. He then morphed into a small star then into a huge goblin.

"Gah, puny dragon… Loki smash! Ha, ha, ha!" Loki smacked Hannah with a streetlight and laughed. "Morph!" Loki was now Hannah's dragon-form.

"That's just sick and wrong…" Hannah said.

"I know." Loki blasted Hannah with one of her own ice spells. "Right back at ya'!" Jake blasted Loki's back with a fireball. "Hey, I can do that too!" Loki was now Jake and blasted him with one of his own fireballs. Jake then stabbed Loki's back with his claw. "Ah! Backstabber." Loki kicked Jake right into Hannah, who was just getting up.

"Hey, funny boy." It was Dan, on top of a house. "Take this! Celestial Breaker!"

"GAH!" Loki screamed. "So powerful… I'll have to fix that. Chaos, blast me!" Chaos blasted Loki's forehead with dark magic and an eye opened up in the center. Loki was mutating. His skin became gray and his eyes turned blood red. Horns grew on his forehead beside the eye and his hair turned white. "Yes, yes, yes!"

"Daniel." Chaos said.

"Chaos."

"Ha, ha, ha… I had a feeling you would arrive here sooner or later. Come on, let's fight."

"So you won't heed my warning," The strange whisper called.

"That voice…"

"Yes Dan, it is I. I warned you, Chaos. Now your fate shall be sealed!"

"Show yourself, give us your physical form, being!" Chaos demanded. A floating gold dragon mask appeared. Followed by a skeletal dragon body with gold armor.

"I am the dragon of fate, I decide all that is, was, or will be. And your fate is sealed, Chaos. To be slain by the hero, who will take his rightful place as master of darkness!" The dragon and the voice then disappeared.

"… I will not allow it. I am the master of evil… it's time, Long! Prepare to meet your maker!"

"Heh, I think its vice-versa, Chaos." Dan and Chaos dashed toward each other and clashed in a sonic boom. "Take this!" Dan punched the top of the building and a line of fire headed straight for Chaos, which missed. The two dashed towards each other again, this time seeming to disappear. But, in fact they were going faster then the human eye could see! Creating several sonic booms as they moved and clashed. "HHHRRRAAHHH!" Dan punched Chaos, knocking him back several feet.

"Amazing! Simply amazing!" Chaos shot several laser beams out of his chest eye. By this time, Jake and Hannah had forced Loki to retreat.

"Dan!" Hannah yelled.

"Stay out of this you two! This is my fight!" Dan screamed in anger. Dan and Chaos once again disappeared in a boom.

"Amazing… he's going faster then the speed of light!" Jake exclaimed. "He's unlocked the full power of the dragon! Not even my grandfather, or his grandfather's grandfather had found out how to unleash that power! Dan truly is the ultimate dragon!" Jake said.

"He truly is…" Hannah said.

"HHAAHH!" Dan reappeared and unleashed a blast of pure plasma at Chaos.

"Such power…" Hannah said in awe, watching her boyfriend blast Chaos.

"AAAHHHH! Full Power! Chaos Blast!" Chaos screamed. A beam of pure dark magic blasted Dan through the ten floors of the apartment building they fought on. Chaos jumped through the hole and Jake and Hannah followed. Dan panted heavily as he got up.

"I will not surrender!" Dan threw Chaos through the wall and into the next-door house. The house collapsed onto Chaos and its owners.

"Ha, ha, ha… all these years I've searched… looking for the ultimate Dragon… and he was right under my nose all along. Your power is legendary, Daniel. All dragons train, to be just like you! But they don't get it… only the one with the purest heart… could never even come close to achieving that power! It takes more then that… dedication, hatred, a need… a purpose… you are the one! The one… … who will destroy it all. Ha, ha, ha, ha… your future struggles shall be rewarded, but your hatred shall grow. Beware Daniel, for the dawn that will soon arrive, the nightmare that you will soon be trapped in, is about to begin." Chaos faded away, back to his temple.

… … … … …

"Soon Daniel will attempt to escape his fate. We can't be having that, now can we, Fate?"

"No, Hope. We can't."

"I say we blast him before he defies us!"

"No, Destruction. We must wait."
