II – III

The Darkness Eternal

Dan blasted Hannah and Kaelyn through several buildings and leveled entire city blocks with his destructive power, knowing that there was no one who could possibly stop him. "Gwuh, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Its over!" Dan unleashed another blast of dark energy, destroying two city blocks. People screamed and ran for cover in vain as they were all vaporized by Chaos and Dan's destructive power.

"Fire at will! We must contain this monster!" Major Jackson screamed. His clones and robots fired their containment weapons In vain, as Dan dodged them all.

"Not so tough without your little hero Jake Long, are you?"

"Bring in the heavy artillery!"

"Oh! Big metal tanks! I'm so scared!" He yelled sarcastically. "Not!" He opened his mouth as wide as possible as his human body could go and unleashed a blast of negative energy at the military. "My time has come! No one can stop me!" As the smoke cleared, only skeletons and burning metal remained.

"Chaos! This is the end for you!" Chaos turned to see the entire Council behind him. Pain, Destruction, Time, Destiny, Fate, Joy, Sadness, Order, Agony, Rage, and Kaje. "We know the outcome of this battle already… but perhaps there is a chance we can stop you! Bring it on, demon!" Kaje yelled. The army of cloaked immortals rushed toward Chaos, weapons drawn.

"GAH, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA! You insolent fools! You amuse me as much as those petty humans and their paper toys! Burn! Burn to the ground!" Black flames surrounded chaos and he morphed into his dragon form. A nine-foot skeletal version of Dan's dragon form towered above the human-like beings and roared. The sky tore and millions of demon-like creatures fell from the sky and attacked the mighty Council. "Bring it."

The Council blasted through the millions of demons as Chaos flew high into the air, laughing. "Mighty Cerberus, rise from the ground!" A huge mountain leveled NYC in seconds with a large castle on top. "Honey, I'm home! Gah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!"

… … … … …

Jake sat thinking on top of the old Empire State building. "I hope I can make it back home in time… there's only three days until Chaos' power is absolute, and we have no chance…" A tear fell to the ground. "After all the pain, the suffering, is this how it's going to end? Is this what I've sacrificed so much for? Is this the new world I've worked so hard to create?"

"Yes…! Let your misery consume you. The more depressed you are, the stronger I'll become!"

"No… this isn't the end…! I don't care what the Council says! I've worked to hard to let all this pain to go to waste!" Jake said, standing up.

"Well whoopty doo for you, your full of hope again!"

… … … … …

Kaje fell from the sky and hit the ground hard, with Fate right behind him. Hannah yelled as she was surrounded in ice, casing her in a two-foot thick armor of ice. She jumped high into the air and landed directly onto her former boy-friend, her armor shattering on impact. "Fool." As Dan grabbed Hannah's leg, Kaelyn swooped down from the air and unleashed a barrage of wind and fire attacks on the monster. "Insolent whelps!" Dan used Hannah as a sword and smacked her into Kaelyn before letting go. Hope then jumped onto a nearby building, and took out his bow and arrow, aiming for Chaos. As he was about to fire, Chaos disappeared.

"Where'd he go?"

"Peek-a-boo, I see you!" Dan slammed his fist into Hope's face, sending him falling sixteen stories. "Why do you cause yourselves so much pain that can be easily avoided? Do you guys hate yourselves or something?"

"We, we'll never s, serve you, C, Chaos…!" Fate said.

"You're so pathetic. You may be immortal to human weapons and tactics, but not to my infinite power!" Chaos began gathering more negative energy for another attack.

… … … … …

Jake flew through the beautiful sunset before him, heading toward an uncharted island off the coast of New York. He looked down at the crystal blue ocean beneath him. Its unusual to see water that clear in his time… "I should be getting close by now…" As he spotted the island in front of him, to purple creatures flew in and attacked him. They looked like dragons, with thick, dark purple armor casing their underbellies, heads, wrists and legs. They screeched and attempted to take down Jake.

"Those are Chaos soldiers! He must be trying to stop me from getting back into the future!" He landed on the island and created balls of fire in the palms of his hands, which he launched at the two creatures. The laughed in a high pitch and disappeared, reappearing behind Jake. The punched him in the back of his head, knocking him to the ground. He struggled to his feet and rubbed the back of his head before charging head first into them. Right before he hit them, the disappeared again and he went head-first into a small mountain's base. Small rocks began falling as he moved away from the wall, followed by larger ones. He jumped out of the way and looked for the two annoying creatures.

"KI, KI, KIAA!" They screeched as they swooped down and grabbed Jake with their bird-like feet. They threw him to the ground and disappeared again. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He visualized the island in his mind and sensed a presence creeping behind him. He opened his eyes and grabbed one of the invisible creatures with his tail and slammed it into the other. As they reappeared, Jake slammed his fist through the chest eye of one of them, killing it instantly. The other one, full of rage latched onto Jake. "INTERNAL MELTDOWN INITIATED." The creature began to flash and Jake struggled to remove it. He finally broke free of its grasp as it exploded, sending him flying into a hidden underground cavern. "Diamonds! Okay… Grandpa said to look for a shining yellow diamond… the Treasure of Pegasus…" He noticed a gold stone and picked it up. "This must be it! Now, to get back home." As Jake flew out of the cave, a large sea-serpent version of the purple creature sprung out of the ocean. "Great…" Jake was surrounded by flames and blasted through the creature's chest eye, killing it. "Too easy."
