Well, this story will end next chapter. But that's okay, because I have a LOT in store for you all in End Game. I mean, it is the big finale after all. And, believe it or not, the name kaje is one letter away from the Japanese word kage, which means "shadow". That's strange because when I named Kaje, I would have him take the powers of his father -the powers of shadows- not knowing that his name was one letter away from the word shadow. Now that's one strange coincidence.

Chapter V: Apprentice Part III: The Decisive Battle

In the center of the galaxy, floating sat four cloaked figures. "How could we let it go this far Father? Look at what must happen! I should just make this quick and easy!" The female spoke. Father Time's voice boomed as he spoke.

"No!" He yelled. "It is not for us to judge." Father Time said.

"Balance is no more, Father." Order said. "I should know. My wicked doppelganger prevents us from joining back together. He understands that apart we will fade out of existence, but that is what he wants. It is up to you."

"I have foreseen the heroes deaths… true. They will be destroyed by Chaos… true. Civilization as we know it will fall… also true. Whether these things must happen or not is for you us to decide."

"Father is correct. It is not for us to decide. Things will fall into place as they were meant to and fate will take its course." Fate said.

"But father… why?" Order asked. "Why can we not stop this?"

"Because, it is not for us to decide. It is for Kaje to decide."

"What? Nonsense, Father! What can a forgetful clone do?" The woman screeched.

"Because, he is no ordinary clone… he is the clone of the mighty Jake Long! For all to survive, he must face the facts and make the ultimate sacrifice…" Father Time said.

… … … … …

Kaje and the others wandered through the gloomy world of Chaos, looking for his hide out. "Chaos is fading, which is why he must hide." Kaelyn said. "If he is hurt, it may cause total meltdown within his body." Kaelyn stopped. "But don't be fooled, he is still strong. His own destruction strengthens him."

"We're here." Kaje said. The three looked puzzled. "Shadows!" The shadows of Dan, Hannah, Kaelyn and Kaje surrounded a large invisible dome, which continued into a full circle beneath the stone platform. The four walked into the circular structure and were greeted by thousands of Chaos clones, all surrounding a large red orb. There were four strips of steel that shot out from the edges of the building, all leading to the large red orb, which was protected by a barrier of some sort. The Chaos clones raised there arms simultaneously, and began firing beams of dark magic. "Look out!" Kaje jumped into the air while the three dragons flew into the air. The clones started aiming for the air, and were distracted by the dragons while Kaje ran towards the orb. "Chaos is in there," he thought. "AAHHH!" Kaje screamed as he flew backwards. "An invisible force field… smart." He said. "Kage Bure-ka!" Kaje screamed. Shadows surrounded the barrier and obliterated it.

"We can't dodge these guys forever!" Dan yelled.

"There's to many!" Hannah screamed. Kaje turned and destroyed the remaining clones with his kaje bure-ka.

"Let's go." Kaje said. As they entered the orb, they found a glass egg, holding the large eye that was Chaos. It slept as Jake and Loki floated down from the air. "Chaos!" Kaje screamed. Chaos' eye snapped open and he shattered the glass barrier and stared at Kaje.

"Kaje… my son… you have come for answers, no?" Chaos asked. "Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha… you betrayed me. You were created to take Jake Long's place, you are his clone. When you betrayed me, I wiped you of all memory and threw you onto earth. After that I went after the next best thing… Jake Long himself. At first my towers were supposed to drain energy, but they made me weaker, copying my DNA and creating my little creatures. When I discovered I could drain the soul from people when I attempted to kill Loki, I had an advantage. I only live today because of the donations that were so nicely given to me by Jake and Loki. They are but empty shells. Just. Like. You. You are nothing, you are weak, and you are a mere failed experiment. Now you have doomed them all!" Jake grinned and blasted Chaos with a fireball.

"I've heard enough!" Jake said. "I faked it Chaos, you never had me for a second!"

"I know. But what you don't know is that I knew. And you also probably didn't know that in five minutes, my world will crash into yours, wiping every dimension out of existence! How does it feel heroes? How does it feel to have the weight of every universe on your shoulders, hoping for your victory? Huah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!" From every dimension and universe heroes and villains alike looked to the sky as it transformed into a large screen, showing the battle. Whether it was Spiderman and Venom or even Mario and Bowser, they all looked to the sky and watched what was happening. "There is no hope! In five minutes every universe and creature will be obliterated as my world expands, destroying all the others in the process."

"No!" Kaje screamed. The four, now joined by Jake and Loki fired endlessly at Chaos.

"Some help that'll be. You're mine!" Chaos fired hundreds of lasers at the six, which followed them everywhere. Jake then warped behind Chaos. "I can see you…" Chaos said, an eye popping up on Chaos' scorpion-like tail.

"No you can't!" Jake blasted the eye with a large fireball, destroying it.

"AAAH!" Chaos screamed in pain. "You'll all pay for that!" Hundreds of pillars of fire chased the six around the circular room. "Bwuha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! You truly are amusing… you know that?" Chaos began firing several lasers out of his eye once more. "Direct hit!" He said as he looked at the four dragons and Loki falling to the ground. Kaje revealed himself in the air and landed in front of Chaos.

"Kaje!" Jake yelled.

"Get out of here, now!" Kaje demanded. "It's over Chaos!"

"The son wants to fight the father? Ha!" Chaos exclaimed.

"I'll show you what I can do… I'll show everyone!" The dragons and Loki quickly ran outside, watching as hundreds of explosions took place within the building. "If you die here… you'll never return! I'll make sure of that personally!" Kaje jumped onto Chaos and began to glow in a black aura. "Goodbye…" Kaje said as the he, Chaos and the building was destroyed in a large explosion. Everyone looked to the sky of the Chaos Blaze, as large chunks began to fall.

"The world's collapsing! We need to get out of here!" Hannah used a teleporting spell to open up a temporary portal. Loki stayed behind.

"Like a captain and his ship, I must go down with what was once my realm…" he said. The skies of other universes returned to normal as the Chaos Blaze collapsed in on itself.
