DISCLAIMER: Yeah I think you get it already.

Chapter 13: Yet More Destiny Type Stuff... And Bad Guys

"Ok. 1... 2.. 3, PULL!" on that, me, Robbie, Mathew, Sam, Lathen and Kyle all pulled at a giant stone door. Besides us, Nick, Reece, Harley and the girls were all doing the same to the second door. We had been trying to pull the doors open all morning, and I was about over it.

"Oh enough! Everyone, get the fuck away from the door," I growled, rubbing my hands, already crackling with magic, together. The others very quickly backed up.

"Hmm... Ok.. Flare? Fire? Maybe Break?" I muttered, flicking through my ever growing mental list of spells.

"For the love of god, just blow the damn door," said Mathew, who was getting impatient. I rolled my eyes. Just ruin my moment, why don'tcha? Anyway, with a flick of my wrist, and a hat adjustment, the door was introduced to my dear friend, Flare. As the dust cleared (which I helped along with an Aero spell) I walked forward, dusted my jacket sleeves, and looked inside the temple.

And felt my jaw drop.

In a word, it was magnificent. The floor, the walls, hell, even the ceiling, they were all covered in gold markings, writing in some ancient language. There were pillars, which were also covered in markings, holding up the ceiling. Overall, the place had a very mystical vibe.

Oh, and, at the other end of the temple, hovering about a golden altar, was a shining blue crystal.

"My gods, a Cosmos Crystal..." muttered Lizi, a hand over her heart.

"A what?" Robbie asked, walking up to look around with me.

"A Cosmos Crystal. According to legend, they are symbols of Cosmos's power in this realm. They keep the world in balance, keeping in check the forces of Chaos," Lizi explained.

"And what would the forces of Chaos look like?" I asked.

"You shall soon find out" said a voice, full of wisdom and age. It was quiet, and yet managed to make the temple vibrate.

"Ummm, who said that?" I asked, slowly bringing my sword out of its sheath.

"I did." A pulse of light emitted from the crystal, lighting the whole temple. My eyes went wide. Black Magic, massive beast, talking crystals, what next, melodramatic pretty boys with over-sized swords? Then I remembered Robbie beside me, and mentally when "Never mind".

"Welcome to my temple, Chosen Warriors. I've been waiting for you," the crystal said.

"Chosen Warriors?" I asked, looking at Lizi for an explanation. She shrugged and mouthed "I don't know."

"Aye. The Chosen Warriors. The ones who shall defeat Chaos, and bring a new era of Order to this realm."

"Wait, wait, WAIT. I am not taking orders from a floating rock!" said Robbie.

"I don't think we have a choice in the matter," Mathew said calmly.

"You do. But if you do not follow the path before you, this world shall suffer for eons to come.

"Ok. So, we don't have a choice," stated Mathew. We may not have the greatest of morals, but we aren't heartless. Well, most of us aren't. I'm still trying to get used to this whole 'caring' thing.

"Ok. So, what do we do?" I asked, looking at the crystal.

"My time runs short. Chaos's forces are near. You shall continue onward to the city of Luca. There, you shall find the Templar's of Cosmos. They will help you."

"Ok, that's simple. I like simple," said Robbie.

"Yea. Thank you giant floatin-" I was cut off as a massive explosion rocked the temple and kicked up a massive amount of dust. Once the dust had cleared, we looked around and made sure everyone was alright, and then looked back at the crystal.

It had been shattered.

In its place, was a figure wearing the heaviest set of armor I had ever seen, holding a massive sword thing, a Red Mage with a black cape and a black rapier similar to Mathews.

And a Cataur, bouncing up and down like the weirdest bouncy ball in history.

"What did you do to the Crystal?" shouted Lizi, drawing her duel blades and pointing them at the newcomers.

"Simple. We smashed it," said the armored stranger, slamming the point of his sword, if it was one, into a shard of the crystal, breaking it further.

"Why?" I said, drawing my sword and calling forth a Flare orb.

"Because we are the Warriors of Chaos!" proclaimed the armored man. Right about then, I clicked on the voice. I had thought it was familiar.

"Hayden!" I shouted, along with about ten others. Apparently, I wasn't the only one who recognized the voice.

"Sorry guys, but I like being evil! So much power! Hahaha!" crackled Hayden, from beneath his helm. Besides him, the Red Mage shook his head and muttered "Why am I stuck with him?...". I then clicked onto him as well.

"Jesse! Why are you a bad guy?" I asked, sword dropping for a moment.

"Because it seemed like a good idea at the time. Although, now that I'm stuck with this idiot..." said Jesse, pointing at Hayden, who had descended into the most evil laughing fit I had ever heard.

"I see your point... But you're still evil," I said, raising my sword again. Jesse just laughed.

"Like you could touch me. I'm waaaaay too strong for you," he said, just as Hayden finished his laughing fit.

"Right. Now, shall we make a evil speech?" he asked Jesse.

"No. Let's not. I fear you'll fuck that up too," Jesse replied.

"Whatever, Jakey!"

"Jesse."

"Whatever. Let's go." And with that, Hayden slammed his sword into the ground and created a portal of darkness. With a final crackle of evil laughter, he entered the portal. Jesse shrugged, picked up the cataur and followed. The portal closed a moment later.

"Well... That was interesting," said Mathew.

"Indeed," said Robbie.

"At least we know who we are up against," I said.

"Well, if you ask me, those two seem like the worse bad guys ever," said Lizi.

I hate to admit it, but she hit the nail on the head.
