Chapter Thirteen-Horseman Two- The World

 

“JOKER!” Pai cried, running towards her. She merely raised her hand, forming a barrier between them.

“I am not Joker. I am Chaos.” Sircosgi looked at her.

“Interesting. And an orange Grunty.” BT, Mirelle, Mistral, Sora and Ouka were amazed.

“This looks like trouble.” Ouka mumbled.

“Boragia. Casper.” Sircosgi called out.

“How do you know?” The white robe, Casper, called out.

“It's simple. You two, why are you doing this?”

“That is none of your concern. You, technically, are. By facing the Knights, you have sent a peal of the bell of chaos throughout The World. Now nothing is the same, because they are doing everything in their power to find and delete you. Thus, functioning in The World becomes more difficult. Don't you see? If you stop, there won't be any more problems! However, because you fail to see this, your fears and selfishness have taken form in that of Chaos!” Chaos ripped off the mask over her face to reveal the comedy and tragedy masks.

“This is absurd!” Sora cried out.

“Not really. You helped Morganna. It brought what you fought against to life. Don't you see? In this, you are fighting what you think is wrong, but instead you are merely helping us out!”

“I don't believe it. Stop these lies.” Sircosgi shouted. Boragia waved his hands.

“Very well. Without your ability to Possess, this one should be much harder!” He and Casper gated out. Chaos smiled at the group.

“Ah. Strolling Players.” Sircosgi sighed.

“I guess it really isn't Joker. Good, because I would feel really guilty about doing THIS,” he cast Juk Rom on Chaos, “if it were!” He looked to watch the spell take its effect. “WHAT?” Instead of being Juk Rom, it appeared to be Vak Kruz.

“Did I just see right?”

“I think so.”

“Fine. I guess we'll be backup support. Pai, Sora, Ouka, have at it!” Sora bounced off, leaving Pai to run alongside Ouka. He began to slice at Chaos. Meanwhile, Ouka leaped at Chaos, doing a midair transformation. She began punching and kicking the Grunty, killing it. Chaos jumped backwards and brought out a wicked looking black sword. Pai reached him just in time to see the sword up close.

“Aw, sh-“ Chaos swung it at Pai, who blocked, yet was still knocked back. Mirelle and Mistral healed. Sircosgi looked at BT and Badger.

“We need to form an assault. Let's try Pha Varthkin. Okay? One, two, three! HAH!” They cast it, and it was effective. “That's it. Keep it distracted.” Chaos, however, had a different plan. She swiped her left hand over her face, taking off the comedy mask, leaving the tragedy one. A sign flickered on Sircosgi's screen.

“Tragic Beam?” He looked at Chaos in time to see her left eye emitting a beam that swept over everyone, giving them multiple conditions. Sircosgi wasn't THAT worried. He used a few remedies on himself, Badger, BT, Mistral and Mirelle, and the five healed the other three. Pai had, in that time, run back to Chaos. Chaos looked at him and threw the comedy mask at him. It exploded, leaving him with very few life points. He looked back up to see the mask fly back to her hand, and her performing the same attack on Ouka, all the wavemasters, and attempting to do the same to Sora, who just continued to hack away. Chaos finally managed to get him pinned under the mask, which constricted, and drained his life points away. He groaned.

“Hopeless.” A voice spoke in his ear.

“Never give up hope. Never.”

“Aura?” He felt something being placed around his neck. He looked around him to see no one around him. He healed himself and Ouka, then looked at what was around his neck.

It was a crystal, red in color.

Just like the one Joker had had.

He smiled.

“Hey Sora?”

“Yeah?” Sora replied, still being constricted by the mask.

“Thanks for telling me about there being things worse than death.”

“OUCH!” Badger cried out. Pai cast La Repth on her and the rest of the Wavemasters. Sora was released from the mask, which flew back to its place on Chaos's face. She then took off the Tragedy mask.

“Ah Crap!” Sircosgi cried out.

“Voluptuous Beam” was the sign now. It confused everyone, causing them to attack each other.

This was a great opportunity for Chaos to do some damage.

Sircosgi was the first to be healed. He gave Remedies to all the Wavemasters, who then healed everyone else. Pai ran back to Sircosgi.

“Hey, good news?”

“If you say that you saved money on Car Insurance, I will kill you.” Sircosgi threatened with a smile.

“How does `Power Amplification' sound to you?” Sircosgi smiled.

“Helba?”

“You bet.”

“Lets do it. Wavemasters, gather round!”

 

Sora and Ouka were getting tired.

“Man! Infinite life points. WHEN will it die?” Ouka cried out in anger.

“When it wants to. Better question: what's the difference between Catholicism and the Church of England?”

“What's the answer?”

“Bloody Mary.”

“Very funn- OW!” Ouka was hit from behind from an exploding mask.

“Sora, Ouka, BACK AWAY!” Sircosgi cried out. “NOW PAI!”

 

Pai pointed his hand at the five wavemasters.

“AMPLIFY!” A red aura surrounded the five.

“Hey, our level!” Mistral exclaimed.

“One of those infinity symbols.” Mirelle said.

“On my count. THREE TWO ONE GO!” Sircosgi cried out. Five attacks of amplified Juk Rom hit Chaos in the chest. She fell over backwards. When she got up, there was a hole in her chest, with purple liquid oozing out.

“NOW!” Sircosgi cried. Ouka, Sora and Jas all attacked Chaos, right around her neckline.

Her head rolled onto the floor, her body fell backwards, Sircosgi cradling it. When it began to fade he nodded.

“Memories are nice. Don't die for them.”

The two masks fell off, revealing what was beneath.

“What is the meaning of this?” Sircosgi demanded.

It was the face of a child.

“Nothing is as cruel as the heart of a child.” Sora quoted. “Jet Black said that.”

“Still, is this just toying with our emotions, or what?”

“It isn't fading.” Ouka said. “Can I smash it?”

“No. I will do it.” Sircosgi said. He pointed his staff at the head. “If I can't do the deed, then what makes me different from Death's using agents?” He sighed. “Pha Varthkin!” The head disappeared in the amplified fury of the spell. Sircosgi fell to the ground.

“Hey, we're back to normal.” Mirelle said. BT walked over to Sircosgi.

“Are you okay?” Badger sat down by him.

“Babe?”

“We need to get out of here. I don't like this place.” The others nodded and, after exiting the labyrinth, gated over to Net Slum to give a full report.

They all looked over the book that had formed in the center of the field.

Casper and Boragia, however, didn't.
