Chapter 20 : Chaos!

Prophet Adam said, "Rain."

Instantly from the cracks and creases of the walls, was blood. The blood was dripping violently, and it was dropping to the floor, mimicking the sound of rain hitting a window.

Chaos jumped upwards, and he turned his body around, allowing his feet to stick to the ceiling.

"Um, what the hell is that?"

Prophet Adam replied, "The blood of Reborn. Be cleansed, Host."

From the blood, blood human-like figures arose from them, having sharp long fingers and stitches on their faces.

They jumped at Chaos, and Chaos sighed one time.

Instantly, the insides of the blood figures started to rumble, and a red and pink electric power orb started growing out of their stomachs, it grew larger and larger, shaking the area from the pressure of it's power.

The orbs blew the blood figures into pieces, exploding on the inside of them. 

Prophet Adam said, "Harvest are the true survivors of oppression and terrorism. We were once almost destroyed, almost destroyed by the Shadow realm and the Arcane realm, but Reborn brought us from the darkness and into the light. And once he did…he made us stronger. We were saved..and he can save you too."

Chaos responded, "Nahhh I'm good. I think I'm fine. Thanks for the offer though."

"It was not an offer. Reborn can and will save everyone. He will become ruler of earth, and become ruler of all the realms in existence."

More blood figures came at Chaos, but red and pink orbs grew inside of them as well, and blew them up.

Chaos responded to Prophet Adam, "Haha! You Harvest people think you're righteous. When Reborn first arrived here, he killed millions of women. Women who he thought weren't a good enough vessel to bear his children and make them soldiers, women who had troubles getting pregnant. And then Reborn and his followers went as far into forcing women to sleep with his creations. You all deserve to die. Fuck you, fuck Reborn, and fuck Harvest!"

Chaos dashed forward to Prophet Adam, and Adam sighed, opening up the black book that was in his hand.

"If you really knew and understood Reborn, you'd know his true motives into why he does what he does; why we do what we do. His ways and our ways together are good, but his alone are perfect."

Chaos got close to Prophet Adam, and a page flew out of Adam's book. The page landed on the floor, and the page transformed into a little girl with long blonde hair.

The girl said, "Daddy!"

Chaos stopped, and he responded, "Ellie..?"

The fake version of Chaos's daughter started to glow grey and purple, it's hands got sharp, and it took a really fast swing at Chaos's neck. 

Chaos dodged it, and then jumped backwards.

Chaos said to Prophet Adam, "Using dirty fucking tricks I see. How low.."

"I recovered her within the depths of your thoughts. You think about your daughter a lot."

"You messed up, big time."

Chaos stretched his hand forward, and a red and pink orb began to grow insanely large in front of him. Lightning blasted under it, wind was circulating around and destroying everything around it.

Prophet Adam said, "Destroying a holy church of Reborn. The effort it took to build this was magnificent. But there are more. All of us prophets prepare these holy places for Reborn."

"Thanks for telling me!"

"You can find them. But each time one goes down, another one is built. It's an endless cycle. We are not ashamed to tell of our plans and whereabouts. For we want you all to see the steps in salvation, not turn your face away from the sun. For we are also stronger than you all. When Reborn has risen, he will be ten times stronger than the last time all of you Hosts fought him."

"Oh yeah?!"

"It took half of the Hosts on this planet to take him down in the battle. Imagine Reborn's power level when he awakens.."

"Times have changed, Prophet monk man or whatever the hell you are! We've gotten stronger too!"

"Compared to us, you are weak. Just like Reborn's brother, Zabel. Zabel is the main reason why Reborn is on this campaign of leadership. Now tell, Chaos…when the war happens…will you be able to save your daughter if she is about to die?"

Chaos gasped, and the orb he was forming in his hand was still growing. Blood human figures from th4 blood that came out of the walls continued to come out, and each time they would try to attack Chaos, the red and pink lightning from the orb blasted them up to bits.

Chaos said to Prophet Adam, "You want…Chaos?!"

The orb he was forming got bigger, and Chaos pulled his other arm back and formed a fist with his hand.

He then punched the orb he was making, and there was a loud explosion, everything banged and rumbled, and a bright light filled the area, with smoke and parts of the ground and the abandoned church blasting everywhere in pieces; the explosion covered over 800 feet on all sides of Chaos…

…

A few miles away, Hanako and the women from the church appeared under a tree near a river stream.

Hanako then said to them, "Teleporting takes a lot out of me. I got you all as close to the city as possible. I can't let my friend perish."

One of the women replied, "But you are all Hosts! He will be fine!"

Another woman said, "Yeah! Please don't leave us!"

Hanako sighed, "More Hosts are on their way to pick you guys up. If I let Chaos go on a rampage, you could all be killed. Possibly me too."

"Oh no.."

"Stay here."

Before Hanako could run off, there was blood arising from the ground, making the grass wet.

Hanako thought, 'Expected.'

That same blood formed the same human blood figures that Chaos was fighting.

The figures were saying in unison, "I am not easy to defeat. For it is the power of Reborn that I am able to withstand destruction. I-."

In the blink of an eye, Hanako dashed through all of the blood figures in a spinning and flying motion, and she was holding two Katana swords that gave off a brown and white aura.

Hanako said in Japanese, "Watashi no katana ga utau.."

[Meaning: My katana sings..]

More blood figures drew from the ground, at least 80 of them, and they rushed to attack her.

They threw a few spinning punches and kicks, and even tried going for leg sweeps. 

Hanako was dodging them all, closing her eyes. She said, "Ken no sakebi no naka no tamashī.."

[Meaning: The souls within the sword cry..]

Hanako jumped to the right swiftly, and she used her two Katanas to draw a golden X in front of her, floating peacefully.

Hanako opened her eyes, and they were all white.

She said, "Shikashi, watashi ni chokumen shite iru hito wa... Shinu!"

[Meaning: But the ones who face me..die!]

In less than a millisecond, Hanako blazed through all of the blood figures with her katanas, and the strength and impact of her swift sword attack decimated parts of the ground, and it even broke some clouds in the sky apart, and it made some trees and water spring up into the air.

The women were in a force field in the air, and under them, were some weaker Hosts.

They said to each other:

"Did she HAVE to do that?"

"It was kinda overkill."

"But it looked awesome either way."

"Oi, Hanako!"

Hanako turned to look at them, she then turned back the other way, and vanished.

"Welp. There she goes."

"She always does that. No need to get offended."

"Right, right."

Back to where Chaos was, Chaos was floating in the air, not saying a word. Fire and smoke from his previous attack was rising into the sky.

Coming up to meet Chaos was Prophet Adam.

Prophet Adam was standing on a cloud of pages from his book, and Chaos felt intense power coming from it.

Prophet Adam said, "Your rage is understandable. I apologize for bringing up a loved one. But now do you see how pointless fighting is? How about you join us? Get in line early to be a Centurion, instead of waiting for Reborn's return. Acting stubborn will prove you all are like Zabel..Reborn's own rival and brother. What do you say?"

Prophet Adam was sticking his hand out in a way that was saying, "Join us."

A few seconds went by, and Chaos said, "Power Level : ..Chaos!!!"

Chaos began to ascend higher, and he lifted his arm up. His arm grew 10 times bigger and more muscular. Wrapping around his arm, were dark pink, red, and purple vines, and they glowed up.

Coming out of his giant arm, were giant hands, and those hands formed all types of hand signs, and blood dripped from the creases of the hands.

At the top of Chaos's arm, the same power orb that he used earlier formed again. But this time, it was growing way too big, and there were red and pink rings spinning around the orb. The orb was standing at 200 feet tall, and 200 feet wide.

Inside of the orb, were red and pink adult wolves with four tails, horns, three eyes, and long sharp teeth and a long sharp tongue.

Down below, Prophet Adam thought, 'He said Power Level : Chaos. Word power levels are the same thing as their power level limit.  If I do not stop him in the name of Reborn..'

Prophet Adam held his hands out, and blood human figures jumped from the pages of his book, jumping up to Chaos.

Then, Prophet Adam dropped his arm down, and a 30 foot long and 30 foot wide red sword descended from the sky, falling down near Chaos.

Everything was getting closer to him, and Chaos's orb was getting bigger.

Prophet Adam thinks, 'Farewell, Chaos.'

At that exact moment, black and brown lightning blasted everywhere, and Hanako and her sword appeared. In a matter of milliseconds, Hanako cut the heads off all of th3 blood figures in an instant, and then she flew up to the giant falling sword.

Above Hanako, a 30 foot tall white and gold spirit version of herself formed, holding two white and shining Katanas.

They both headed to the sword, swung their swords back, and took a wide strike at the giant sword, shattering it to pieces.

Prophet Adam said, "Violent creatures."

In his mind, a voice spoke to him, "Adam. Return."

Prophet Adam replied in his head, "On the way."

His pages surrounded him, making him disappear in plain sight.

Chaos was seconds away from slamming his orb down, until Hanako appeared beside Chaos, and grabbed his wrist.

"Do not sleep, Chaos. Wake up…please."

Chaos gritted his teeth under his mouth/nose mask, and he calmed down. His arm was turning back to normal, and the orb he was creating was going away.

Chaos asked Hanako, "I did it again..didn't I?"

Hanako answered, "Yes."

"Did I kill anyone?"

"No."

"Phew, that's good. What about that monk prophet guy?"

"He vanished."

"Dammittt. We had him."

"The women he had captured are more important. Things could've been done to them…but we prevented it from happening."

"Yeah you're right. Got it got it, okay okay okay. At first, I was against the fact of having someone with me on a mission, but I'm slowly realizing why. Thank you, Hanako."

"Pleasure."

"Let's head out then."

…

[Duri's school]

[Homeroom]

As Duri's homeroom teacher, Haruto, was going over some world history review sheets to the class, Duri was asleep, his head was down at his desk, and some of the students looked at him.

Kazuma, Ren-Ren, Jiyu, Nine, and Seven were looking at them too.

Tek, Duri's rival, was asleep too. They were the only ones asleep in the class.

Haruto looked at Duri and Tek, asking, "Duri…Tekeshi. Couldn't sleep last night?"

There was no answer, Duri and Tek were snoring loudly, and some students giggled.

Haruto took his reading glasses off, and stomped on the floor silently.

The floor jumped, making Duri and Tek wake up. They both were on guard, both of their fists clenched, and then they looked at each other.

Duri said, "Oi.."

Tek replied, "You're copying me.."

"Copying you? Why would I copy a weak ass like you?!"

"Weak? Tsk. Fool. I'm stronger than you'll ever be."

"Hehh?! You wanna test that theory? Step outside right now, let's do this, dumbass!"

"I'm willing to break the rules to destroy your soul."

Haruto said, "Boys. That's enough. You know there's no fighting on school grounds."

Duri answered, "Hmph. Don't care."

Tek replied to Haruto, "Hmph. Me either."

Haruto grinned, "Hoh? Then how about something else?"

Duri and Tek answered together, "Heh?"

[Lunch time]

[Freezer behind the kitchen]

The freezer was spacious, but there was a lot of trash on the floor. Duri and Tek were cleaning it up together, scrubbing and wiping down everything, also sweeping and knocking out cobwebs.

Duri thought, 'Bullshit. I didn't even really do anything.'

Tek thought, 'This is absurd.'

Standing outside of the freezer was Haruto. 

He said, "We gotta have this clean so they can use this  extra space. We have new and improved menu's coming in."

Duri said to Haruto, "I learned my lesson. Now let me the hell out of here, or I WALK out."

"If you walk out, you'll have to answer to Marshy. You don't want that do you?"

"...Tch. You bastard…"

Haruto looked at Tek, "What about you, Tek?"

Tek didn't say a word. He just continued to clean.

Haruto continued, "Good. You boys are almost done. In these times, you two need to get along or something. In a real fight between the two of you, someone could die. Maybe you both have a lot in common, just talk to each other."

Haruto left, leaving Duri and Tek in there.

Duri and Tek looked at each other with malicious intent. 

Tek said, "Gaining popularity by the second…you are doing it for show. Attention is what you seek. You remind me of the man I hate. I grew up with no competition..no rival..now I have one. I will say this to you, like I have told you before: stay outta my way."

"You were one of those dumbass sweaty kids who had everything they ever wanted. They had no rival, nor anyone who could beat them. And you let that shit carry you to high school. One day, you'll see it's all pointless."

"You are pointless."

"And you're stupid."

(11 minutes later)

Tek and Duri finished cleaning.

Tek was already walking to another nearby abandoned school yard, holding his black school bag. Standing beside Tek, were eight school boys, saying:

"They should be up here. Or around somewhere."

"He better have the money. Or else it'll be a brawl. After all, this is a non-populated area."

Tek said to them, "It'll all work out. Just focus. We can't disappoint the leaders."

They all walked onto the school yard, and 20 boys met up with Tek and his friends. It was a gang meetup. 

The leaders of the gang were two boys named Kain and Jain.

Kain had long brown hair in a high ponytail and a white bandage around his left eye with brown eyes.

Jain had his hoodie on, he had red eyes, slick black hair, a mole on his cheek, and grey earrings.

Kain asked Tek with a grin, "Got the bag?"

Tek replied, "Yes."

Tek's friend walked up to Kain, and dropped a red bag in front of him. Kain bent down and started searching through it, seeing tubes of red and purple gooey stuff. Which was mythic beast blood.

Jain asked Kain, "So? Is it in there or what, bro?"

Kain snickered, "Fully loaded. And Tek, you said you collected this off a dead body in a field?"

Tek answered, "Yes. I brought it here to show you I am fully capable of being a part of the group. And you have promised payment."

"Welp. I thought about it, I'm gonna say no to that. You brought me mythic beast blood from a dead man, which in reality could be traced back to you. I need safe people, not reckless people. Scram. Get outta here."

They all started laughing, and Tek just stood there, absorbing it all.

Tek said, "This won't do."

Kain and Jain answered, "Haha! Huh?!"

Tek got in a fighting stance, and he said, "If this is how it has to be, then I'll be taking that blood back."

Jain answered, "Mmm, no I don't think so. Tee hee. Hahaha!"

They all continued to laugh and mock Tek, saying:

"The silent boys are supposed to be deadly and discreet.."

"But he's a reckless idiot! Haha!"

They kept mocking and laughing at Tek, until there was a voice from the top of the abandoned school, saying, "Oi. Tek."

Everyone including Tek looked up at the voice, and saw that it was Duri.

Duri said, "You have my school bag, idiot."
