"And so it begins. Everything is starting to fall into place, Loki." Chaos said, overlooking his world. It was a huge, red world (Imagine the ghost zone from Danny Phantom, just red) with millions of rock fragments, creating platforms, which held towers and palaces. All around the strange world, lost souls floated endlessly, screaming, crying, or trying to kill another. The world always had a sense of gloom, and all the souls that lived there were bleak or angry. Loki looked much different since his final battle with the three heroes. He now wore a torn black cape along with a black body suit with purple armor over it. A single golden eye on his forehead represented his loyalty to his master; it was the mark of chaos. He never had emotion in his eyes anymore, and they turned silver. His hair was the darkest black and his skin was white.
"Yes, master." He said bleakly. Chaos grinned beneath his mask. The more screams he heard, the more torture he saw, he grew stronger.
"Soon I shall be at full strength and I will finally rid myself of those dragons. Then my destiny shall finally be fulfilled. Bah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!"

In a large dark room, three cloaked figures discussed what was happening. "So this is what the revelation of the magical world has led to… never before would I have known unless I just saw it myself. Over the past fifteen hundred years, several mini-wars broke out because of the greedy ambitions of men and the peace requiring of many magical creatures." The first said. He sounded very old and wise.
"Father Time… what has happened to the world? The humans want to ignore what their greed has caused! Why shouldn't we just destroy them?" Another asked. She sounded young, but strong.
"That would make us no better than brother Chaos." Fate said. "Do we want to live forever in his world of gloom?"
"You are late." Father Time said. "You are also correct. The rules of our council are clear: Any of us who destroy the innocent and kill off the sources of life that we must protect shall be banished from the council and sent to our dooms in the Chaos Blaze."
"Are you saying we should just sit back and watch? I rather stop this universe from falling apart again!"
"Back down daughter!" Father Time commanded. "It is not your place to judge." He said firmly. Unknown to them, the one they banished and despised was monitoring them: Chaos.
"So they argue amongst themselves… ha, ha, ha… I could use this to my advantage."
… … … … …
Jake, Dan, and Hannah finished destroying three Chaos drillers. All across the world, more towers appeared, and with each one three more monsters to take care of. "Dang! How many of these are we going to fight today?" Dan asked.
"I don't know. All I do know is that we have to destroy them before they destroy us." Jake said. There was clapping and the three turned to see the strange teen walking towards them.
"Ha, ha, ha… Bravo! Bravo! You three are very skilled. Maybe you do have what it takes to kill Chaos." He said.
"We have before." Jake said.
"No, you merely let him escape. Fools, this isn't a game. He is the incarnation of evil. I mean, just standing by and letting him escape is suicide."
"He's right, you know." Hannah said. "We do just sit back and let him escape…"
"Ha, ha, ha… It just shows how stupid you 'heroes' really are. You're so overrated."
"What did you say?" Hannah asked.
"You never think in battle, you just take everything head on. Do you know how many universes could be destroyed if you three are defeated? There are millions of universes out there… they all have Chaos within them. You three are mirrored in all of them. Whether it is one man, or hundreds, all are reflections of you. In other words, since the Chaos' power is purest here, if you fail, the heroes in other dimensions fail also." The teen said.
"How do you know all this?" Hannah asked.
"That is a question I don't know the answer to. I was born with this knowledge. Chaos holds the key to all my questions: Who I am, what I am, why I have this knowledge… He knows it all. I must find him, and I must learn." He said.
"Tell us…" Jake began. "Who, or what is Chaos?"
"As I said before, he is the incarnation of evil. But he never used to be that. He was once a being of true knowledge and wisdom, using both chaos and order to create balance. That is what he was, really: Balance… a single being, giving true peace to the universe. But one day, he split in two. Creating two new beings: Chaos, and Order. For thousands of years they have fought. His power is equal to his good doppelganger, which makes their fights with each other impossible to win."
"So what is Chaos exactly?" Jake asked
"Ha, ha, ha… that's something you must figure out on your own."
"Before you go, where is Chaos?" Dan asked as the teen turned to leave.
"The Chaos Blaze of course." He said.
"Chaos Blaze?" Jake said puzzled.
"His world. There are several universes… dimensions many call them. They are in the shape of a ball, millions of dimensions, growing and expanding each passing second. The Chaos Blaze is in the center of all of them all. It is a dark, gloomy world, the world in which the great being spilt into Chaos and Order. Whenever you destroy Chaos, or let him escape, he returns there, to regain strength. He is truly immortal. The only real way to destroy him would be to put him back together again, turn him into Balance once more." As the teen finished, a large explosion rattled the nearby buildings. "And that's my cue to leave." The teen jumped into the shadows of a building and climbed to the top. He then jumped down onto a trashcan in a nearby alley, before a dark force stopped him. "Huh?"
"Kaje (strange name eh? It's pronounced like the word cage)…" The teen was surrounded by darkness as he heard the whisper. "Kaje…" It said again.
"What? Who is Kaje? Who are you?" The teen asked.
"You are, Kaje… my son…come to me!" Kaje immediately recognized the voice: it was Chaos.
"Son? Explain yourself, Chaos! Who am I?" He demanded an answer.
"What shady games we play my son… you're mere existence threatens all around you. You are my ticket to earth. My perfect experiment…"
"Experiment?" Kaje asked.
"Ha, ha, ha… you forget what you are… who you are… ha, ha, ha! You entertain me, son. You should know your duty. Now fulfill our destinies, prepare my world!" The darkness left and Kaje found himself floating before hitting the ground with a large thump.
"Kaje…" The teen said. "Is that me?"
END CHAPTER
Who is Kaje? What does Chaos mean by 'Son' and 'Experiment'? I'm not telling you yet. Next chapter, we continue the heroes' story from the explosion: A cloaked figure plus three dragons equals… what do you know? More mysteries and mayhem!
