Has it been 9 chapters already? Wow. Well, here's the grand finale of End Game: Part One.

"Chaos talking."

"Chaos and Dan talking as one."

I – X

The Corrupted

Dan emotionlessly watched all the humans and machines from high atop the Empire State building. "Look at all those bugs… squirming helplessly, not knowing of the cataclysm that is about to befall them." Chaos walked out of the walls, looking better than before. He now had black hair and purple skin, but was still missing his eyes and the flesh for his arms and legs, and the thin paper-like skin for his wings. "Doesn't it make you want to laugh?" Dan was silent.

"You can't control me forever. You know that in the end I will be released from your hold and kill you."

"Prophecies are nothing to be believed, Daniel. You of all people should know that."

"Whatever. The end is coming… the end for all of us… you… me… the Council… everything… Because something else is coming. Something darker than you, and you know it. A force so massive that even you cower in fear, even though that you can never die."

"…" Chaos paused for a moment. "You know so much… and yet so little. The whole point of me occupying your body is to gather strength. No one is stronger than I. After watching your future performances all those years ago, I decided that you will be the one. Your power and will for what you believe to be right and my immortality are an unstoppable force when combined."

"I know when I'm beat Chaos. This universe's destiny and possibly all others are to be destroyed by Him." Chaos was furious. Was Dan saying someone is stronger than himself?

"Listen here!" Chaos lifted Dan by the neck and growled. "I am the ultimate being! Not even that freak Markux will stop me! Don't you ever talk to me that way again, or I will crush your human body!"

"Don't go killing your ticket to power now, Chaos…" Dan grinned. Chaos hesitantly released Dan and walked back into the all behind him.

"No excuses now, Long…"

… … … … …

Halloween straightened his bowtie and wiped off his black tuxedo. He grinned and headed for the door, two security guards beside him. "Is Bane in place?"

"Yes sir. He's waiting for the sign."

"Excellent." Halloween laughed. "I can't have that president find out what's really been going on. The hiring of the Huntsmaster… the creation of Chaos… the extermination of the magical creatures… too much is at risk."

… … … … …

Bane loaded his bazooka. "I've been waiting a long time for a pay-day like this." He grinned and aimed.

… … … … …

The wind outside Jake's window howled and shifted endlessly, and the clouds seemed to create a wicked looking face on the moon above the house. He turned his attention to his window and watched the tides roll in. "Jake…" A whisper echoed throughout Jake's room.

"Huh?" A young girl was now standing on the beach, watching the waves roll in.

"Jake… Save me…" The whisper came again.

"Hannah…?" He quietly ran down stairs and took out his jacket. "Hannah, is that you?" He ran towards the beach and stopped dead in his tracks. "Rose…" Jake was now confused and afraid. Was that Rose?

"Come save me Jake…" She said in a taunting tone. Jake ran towards her.

"Rose… what's wrong?" Before he could reach Rose, he disappeared into nothing. Rose grinned and turned into sand, disappearing.

… … … … …

Jake awoke in a dimly lit room. He was sitting in a purple chair in front of a large round, wooden table, with the entire 'Council' sitting at it with: Kaje, Father Time, Joy, Sadness, Pain, Destruction, Fate, Anger, Order, Destiny, Agony, and Rage. One seat, however, wasn't filled… the seat for the mighty beast of darkness, Evil. "Jake…" Fate began.

"Where am I… what happened… am I dead?"

"Yes… and no… Jake." Rage began. "You were deceived by that image of… Rose… as you call her."

"What do you mean?"

"The image you saw was a creation of Evil."

"Evil?"

"Yes… he is one of us, the strongest of us, actually. Even in the chains we have him within, he manages to do his wicked work. As you ran towards what was never there, Evil killed you; he destroyed every living cell in your body just by breathing. Before he could kill your spirit, however, we managed to bring you here. You see Jake, Evil's chains are rotting… and he's going to be set free soon."

"What kind of creature is this guy…?"

"An ancient beast… a dragon to be exact. He's never been freed from his chains before… now it seems that they are no longer able to contain his power. I have no doubt that its because he has a thirst for the evil that is Chaos."

"So Chaos is just another bad guy?"

"No…" Fate began. "This world doesn't have a chance anymore. Either Chaos wins… or Evil destroys it all. Either way… you can't win."

"So in the end, it doesn't even matter… huh? All the fighting, the losses?"

"No, Jake. This is what destroyed Daniel's will. The truth is sometimes a burden hard to bear. But you gave this world more time to survive then we had foreseen. It truly was a miracle. Jake, I am returning you to your world. And Beware, don't let Evil catch you off guard again."

… … … … …

Halloween stood next to the president as he gave a speech on the military's 'reliability', grinning. As the president stopped for a drink, Halloween closed his eyes for a second and opened them. Bane -on top of a chandelier- grinned. "Bye, bye Mr. President guy." Bane aimed for the president and fired. The entire stage exploded into flames and the people ran screaming. Out of the flames, General Jacob P. Halloween appeared, in a silver suit with the Greek letter Omega on it. "Oh don't scream… yet." Halloween laughed and blasted the crowd with several lasers built inside his suit. "Bane, let's go."

"Hey, I assassinated the president for you, what more do you want?"

"Hmm… true. You're free to go." Halloween turned and blew what remained of the burning stage to bits. "Just in case."

… … … … …

Dan stood stiffly on top of the burning White House, awaiting the arrival of his nemesis. "Jacob…" Dan and Chaos called. Halloween looked up and saw a pale looking Dan waiting for him. Dan tossed back his torn cloak and two swords grew out of the palms of his hands. He jumped down and slashed at his opponent's head, missing. Halloween blocked the second shot with his large sword and slashed back. Dan moved out of the way and latched onto his enemy's back.

"Give up Human. The power you unleashed cannot be stopped. Your end is now!" Dan and Chaos slashed downward with their swords.

"You did well… Daniel… but it isn't over… with my death… my ultimate creation shall be… … unleashed…"

"And so his little robot is unleashed… I'm so scared! Ha, ha, ha…" Below Chaos and Dan's feet, the ground began to crumble and shake violently. They jumped on to a piece of burning rubble and watched as eight tentacles broke through the hole. The huge tentacles began to lift a large black ball from the ground. "Is that it? What sort a piece of scrap metal is this?" The Ball then grew two eyes, and the body began to form. A large whip-like tail formed in the back of the sphere and horns rose out of the top. Out of the center of the 'head' of the creature, a man rose. He only had the upper half of his body, his arms, chest, and head. The lower half of his body were wires, connecting to the large sphere, and giving him complete control. "Halloween? What have you done to yourself?"

"I HAVE REVOLUTIONIZED THE ART OF ROBOTICS! I HAVE MERGED WITH MY GREATEST CREATION… MYSELF! I AM IMMORTAL… AND I AM INVINCIBLE!" The sphere's tentacles disappeared and Halloween descended back inside the black ball. Spikes now lined the edges of the creature as it rolled towards Dan. He jumped out of the way and delivered a blast of fire at his opponent.

"Meta-fiber! Looks like its time for Meteor Dash." Dan was surrounded in a gray light and dashed straight through the sides of the machine. It stopped rolling and began firing yellow laser spheres. As they hit, Dan was surrounded in a yellow ball and lifted into the air. The Machine turned back into its normal form and grabbed the trapped Dan. He began squeezing the bubble harder and harder until it finally popped and Dan fell to the ground. The machine quickly transformed into its spherical form and rolled over Dan. Before it could, however, it was stopped. "Say your prayers, Halloween, I'm not holding back!" Dan's arms transformed into large spikes which grew to over sixteen feet and broke through the core of the machine. Halloween was forced inside as the machine imploded into a ball of fire.

"AAAAAHHHH! YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE LAST OF ME!" Halloween screamed. Dan stared coldly at the scorched grass where Halloween stood.

"He had it coming from the beginning."

"Don't expect me to EVER merge with you again!" Dan yelled to his shadow.

"Ha, ha, ha… you do it more often then you know Daniel."

… … … … …

Jake sat on the beach, watching as the sun slowly arose on the horizon. "If we're gonna die anyway…" He smiled. "Then we're gonna' die with our boots on." Unknown to Jake, he was being watched.

… … … … …

"My Huntsgirl… its time. Its time to slay your first dragon… as you were meant to all those years ago." Rose stood looking at the screen confused and put on her mask.

"Yes… Huntsmaster…" She said to the man sitting behind her.
