"Chaos and his current body's voice together as one."
II – IV
The Truth
Hannah fell to her knees before hitting the ground with a loud thump. "D, Dan… why… why did you give up the fight… you could have… you could have beat him… you… you could have saved us all… Its always been your decision…"
"Foolish girl, Dan is no more. I am in full control."
"Dan… I know you can hear me… … its all in your hands now… we've done all we can… … …"
"Hannah…!" Dan's voice yelled. He found his fist knocking him to the ground; Chaos was clearly in control of his body.
"You obey ME! You do everything for ME! Your old life is no more! This girl has faced the same fate as all the others! You are just a worthless body! You make NO decisions!" Dan screamed at the top of his lungs and clenched his head in pain.
"STOP!" He screamed. Chaos just laughed in enjoyment and finally stopped.
"You shall cease to exist, Daniel. Now, you, belong to me." Chaos said, a tear streaming down his face. "What the?" He wiped the tear. "You are a persistent one, Long."
… … … … …
Jake blasted through two more Chaos minions and took the third and final item his grandfather needed. "Now, to get back to…" Jake turned and glared at the figure before him. "Huntsman."
"J, Jacob." The Huntsman stuttered.
"Chaos?"
"I c, can't let you escape alive. The Huntsman is too w, weak of a human t, to take you down. Its t, time I took matters into my own hands!" Chaos, in full control of the Huntsman's body charged at Jake, holding a strange blue sword.
… … … … …
Dan fell to his knees. "No!" Dan screamed, slamming his fist against a car, destroying it. "Why? Why her?" He began to cry. "Chaos… I know you can hear me! When I get the chance, I will kill you!" He screamed.
"I feel your pain, Daniel." Fate walked up to Dan. "Chaos can only inhabit one body at a time… and will have no memory of this conversation. Take this." Fate handed Dan a small bag. "This powder will make phantasmal creatures, such as Chaos, solid beings. Use it only when the time is right, though. You are the only one who can stop him."
"Thank you…" He said. "Chaos will pay for everything he's done…"
"I must warn you, Daniel… You cannot kill Chaos. You can, however, cause him great pain, and weaken him. The only way to possibly kill Chaos would to be to destroy yourself while Chaos was inhabiting your body…"
"Then that's what I'll do." Dan said. "Chaos is to great of an evil to keep alive."
"Chaos wasn't always like this… he was once a great warrior."
"What?"
"Allow me to explain…"
… … … … …
Chaos charged at Jake and grabbed him by his neck. "Insolent fool! You think you'll be able to win even when you return? I have weakened Daniel's will enough for me to take full control! Together, we are unstoppable!"
"Chaos, you fool…" Jake struggled to say.
… … … … …
"Chaos, and the rest of The Council, sans Kaje, were once human…"
… … … … …
Chaos threw Jake against the ground. He fell through the ground and ended up in a cave, with purple flames providing the only light. "What did you call me?" Four tentacles ripped through the Huntsman's chest and grabbed Jake.
"Good and Evil will always be fighting… Dan is a good person, Chaos… not even you can change that. As long as he is good, and you are evil, you will NEVER have control of him!" Jake broke free of the tentacles' grasp and slashed through them with his claws. The Huntsman half of Chaos screamed in pain, but Chaos just returned the attack with a slash of his own.
… … … … …
"Really?" Dan asked.
"Yes… We were chosen by the great spirits to be inhabited by them, and we were granted their tremendous power. But Chaos, under the influence of Evil, a.k.a. Yang Jake, went mad, and became out number one enemy. After Chaos killed two members of our council, Yang Jake was held responsible, for corrupting Chaos in the first place. Yang Jake was sentenced to an eternity chained to a wall in the Underworld in which Chaos had created. Hades, one of our most powerful members, was put in charge, but he too was soon corrupted."
"I see. So 'Yang Jake' created this monster we know as Chaos today?"
"In a sense, yes, but not entirely. Chaos knew the consequences of his actions, but he wanted more power. He longed to be the strongest. With power comes great responsibility, but I guess Chaos, being the youngest in our council, just wasn't ready for that great of a responsibility. Instead of learning to master his newfound power, he let it control him. His brother, Order, being Chaos' other half, gained that same power, but chose to master it, rather then to become like his brother. Chaos has always been a threat, and we knew someday we would all fall before him… I guess now, is that time." Fate began to walk away but was stopped by Dan.
"Fate… before you go… can you heal Hannah…? I don't want her to die like this… I don't want to be the one to end up destroying her…"
"I understand. Do what you must Daniel," Fate said, Taking Hannah. "Its all in your hands." Fate, carrying Hannah, walked away, and left Dan to think.
… … … … …
"Jake!" Rose kicked Chaos in his face, and ran toward Jake.
"Rose?"
"I'm here to help, now lets take him down!" Jake nodded and blasted the possessed Huntsman in the chest with a large fireball.
"Guh, hu, hu, hu, hu… Is that supposed to tickle?" Chaos taunted. He ripped the mask off the Huntsman and blasted Jake and Rose with a blast of negative energy, in the form of fire, being shot form the human's mouth.
"Rose, The Huntsman is only human, so his body should be pretty fragile, do you know of any weak-points in that armor?" Jake asked.
"No, but without his mask, his head should be a weak point." She said.
"If we can destroy the Huntsman, Chaos would have to return to Dan's body, in my present."
"But Jake, the Huntsman is my Uncle… the only form of family I have left…"
"I know, Rose, but it's the only way." Rose frowned and put on her mask.
"Then lets go." The two charged at Chaos, who grabbed the two by their heads and lifted them into the air.
"And to think I considered you two to be challenges."
"Now!" Jake yelled Rose and Jake kicked Chaos in the face, and he dropped them as he fell backward.
"This Human body is weaker than I expected…"
"Forgive me, Uncle." Rose punched the possessed Huntsman in the face as he got up and Jake attempted to slice through the armor on his back. His chest armor fell to pieces and Jake concentrated his next attack on the Huntsman's back.
"Gah! Pathetic excuse for a human!" Chaos yelled.
"This is it!" Jake's mouth began to glow yellow and he launched a fireball at the Huntsman's chest, incinerating him. Chaos, as his ghostly human form snarled at the two and disappeared.
"Uncle…" Rose said.
"Rose, I'm sorry, but there was no other…" Jake was interrupted as hundreds of Chaos began falling through the hole in the top of the cave. Mainly the flying creatures and strange creatures made entirely of Stone.
"Gwuh, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Enjoy my little gift, mortals!"
"Rose! We need to get out of here! There's no way we can destroy all of these things!" Rose was a bit reluctant, but followed Jake up through the hole in the top of the cave. They were stopped in their tacks, however, as several clones of Dan approached them. "Great…"
"Jake, I can probably open a portal to the city, but only one of us can go through…"
"No. I'm not leaving you hear. If I have to fight, then I'll fight!"
"You're funeral." The clones said in unison. "Plan Omega!" one of them shouted. The clones morphed into Chaos' demon form and grinned. "Attack!" The lead one said.
"Jake! Go, I'll take care of them!"
"No!" Jake said. "I'm not leaving you, I already told you." Jake morphed into his human form and took off Rose's mask. "I'm staying here, no matter what. I won't let you die just so I can get back to my time-period."
"Jake, you have to! Or none of us will have a future." Jake was split. He knew he had to return to his time, but he also knew he couldn't just leave Rose to die.
"That's just a chance I'll have to take." The ground shook as the hundreds of Chaos minions burst out of the cave. "Bring it on!"
