Chaotic World
Chapter 4: Battle Scars
Grim was awoken from his shocked daze by a violent rumble that sent bits of rock tumbling to the ground. And soldiers marched in, firing their laser blasters threateningly.
(They're dressed like the soldiers from Evil Con Carne.)
They spotted their co-leader and bowed. "Duke of Chaos, Lord of Hazard, King of Discord, granted permission to free you?" Grim stared, open mouthed. And a plot formed in his head. "Yes." He nodded. Several soldiers walked up and shot off his chains. Grim plummeted to the ground on one knee. "Bad mistake, mon." he smirked at them. And he tested a theory he hoped would work.
He clenched his fist and the ground lit up below the soldiers, and it swirled up like a wave of lsime and curled around them. Entangling them and encasing them in what was now gold. At that moment, Mandy the Merciless burst in, firing lasers from her eyes. "Wha-?" she stared at the frozen tendrils of gold encasing the soldiers head-to-toe.
"Did you?" she almost looked astonished. Grim twirled his finger through the air and a tnedril of gold swarmed up from below him, and in whatever direction he moved his finger. It followed with a lazy and slow movement of its own. He raised his finger up into the air and twirled it around, then he made a stop movement with his skeletal hand and it froze on the spot, making a spiral. "I think I did. This is pretty cool." Grim smiled as Irwin hurried through the tunnel and fired once in a random direction, and found himself transfixed aswell toward the encased soldiers.
Mandy nodded as if in silent question and answer. "C'mon Grim." She turned around. Irwin eyed him suspiciously and followed her, though he was careful to stay out of her slime trail. Grim shrugged and followed.
At the end of the tunnel, the three were met by an enormous explosion that knocked all except Mandy off their feet. There was a loud yell, that Grim recognized was from Jeff. He stumbled from the smoke, dragging a mutilated leg that was draining out a blue liquid. He limped as he came. "Mandy, The Chaos Forces have broken through our defenses!" there was another rumble. And Grim had to brace himself against the wall to keep from falling. "And-." But before he had continued Grim had run through the smoke, dust, and debris. "Grim!" mandy yelled, firing an eye laser, sending a pair of Chaos Soldiers flying, as she hurried out into the sunlight.
Grim raised his hands as the soldiers took a momentary ceasefire, just because of his presence. "Go, now, you idiots! Go, mon!" he hissed. And Lord Pain turned from his position, bashing in the face of a Chaos Soldier and stared. "GO!" he whipped a golden tendril at his back and he stumbled forward. And the Rebel Soldiers charged, slashing and firing. It took the Chaos Army by surprise, and they looked to their "Lord of Hazard" for commands. He just smirked maliciously, and waved his hands up in the air. And there was a rumble among the battle. A Tsunami of gold rose up and smothered them, consuming them, sucking and sloshing, like a vicious wild monster. Mandy glanced at the look on Grim's face, it was savage and cruel, and there was a small flame in his eye sockets. Like he was enjoying the death and suffering of his enemies, their blood being spilled satisfying him, and whetting his thrive for violence and suffering, and the knowing of their doom that would eventually come, whether they liked it or not.
"Grim." Mandy snapped him out of it, the fire extinguished in his eyes. "Yeah?" he seemed normal now, as if he had been woken from a trance… Had he?
Grim glanced at the battlefield and the hardened gold, "Did I do that, mon?" "Yeah." Mandy replied, "C'mon." she motioned for him to follow.
"Grim I want you to lay down on that cot over there, and I just want you to relax." It was Irwin, Grim sat lay down on the cot, a multitude of light shining down on him. Irwin used a knife mad of titanium to slice off a small bit of his bone. Grim winced. He stuck it under the microscope, and gasped. "It's nothing, it's nothing!"
Mandy slithered back and forth among the one-way glass that looked out onto the wasteland, with Eris's Castle in the distance.
The dunes of gold surged still across the plains, Skarr's men blanketed in mid-panic.
How was it that he can't remember who he is? She pondered. He, next in-line to Eris herself, is the most dangerous tyrant in the entire world…
The future was bleak, and was bleaker still, she sometimes wondered if they had just given up the stupid hamster. If she was as she was now, she would've disposed of the herself.
She pitied humanity then, and she envied them now.
She didn't know what she was now, she knew it would happen, she had seen it so many summers ago in Grim's crystal ball. A disgusting worm-like creature is what she was called. It was no race, she called herself monster.
She never smiled, she never would. Risk ending up in the wrong story, but sometimes she wondered. She had contemplated, and attempted suicide, but she wouldn't die.
She never would..
And she detested it, in a infinity's time, she'd be here, standing on the cold earth, the sun gone out, covered in a thin layer of frost. The world cracking below her, fire raining from the skys, and lava flowing from every corner of the earth.
And she would still remain, even as the mountain of fire that was the sun's heart scorched her to a small smudge of ash, tissue, and blood.
She had no chance at a love life now too, but she had never desired it. Everytime Irwin looked at her, she could only see pity in his eyes, she still loathed, had never even considered him, but now she yearned for one spark of desire.
But no, no one looked at her that way.
Atleast except Billy, but she couldn't care less about him, he was a robot, albeit an advanced one, he was nothing more than that.
And she had a wish, all these years, they had paid off…
She sighed, looking out the window, her eyes glared.
"And it has come true, through all in all…."
Just then, Irwin hurried up the stairs, he faced Mandy, his face perspiring.
"Mistress, there's something you should see, it's very urgent?" his face had a nervous, yet anxious mask on it. She hadn't seen Irwin this excited in a long while.
Atleast not since he was bailed from prison after the "Make-Everyone-Wear-Glasses" scam.
Mandy slithered down the stairs shortly after Irwin. She saw the Grim Reaper standing in the corner, trying to fit into a set of Irwin's battle armor. Irwin led him up to a microscope.
He urgently motioned for her to look into it. She did so, and gasped in shock, rubbing her eyes.
Irwin caught her as she slid backward, and steadied her. She clasped her chest, and glanced into it again.
Grim was made into something that was unstable, "chaotic" in such situations. It changed tangibility, texture, and etc. every moment.
She wiped her forward.
"Grim?" she turned to him. "What are you?"
Grim rose where hi8s eyebrows would be.
"Come again?"
Well, there you have it folks.
IT IS THE ALMIGHTY, LONG AWAITED FOR, NEXT CHAPTER!
