I unfortunately forgot that Easter, is a holiday, that exists. Sorry for yet another delay folks, turns out that it's hard to post these things when you have the whole family at your house haha, anyways, HOPEFULLY, there are no other random holidays that pop up for me, and now onto our story.

"Chaos, I refuse to let you do this," Zeta said, rather angrily.
"Zeta, you don't understand whatsoever, I'm doing this for my brother, nothing else," Chaos said, twisting a contorted drillbit in her hand.
"You're doing this for yourself can't you see?" Zeta practically shouted.
"WRONG, this is all for him!" Chaos shouted, collapsing into a ball of black and purple fire.
Chaos flew off for a little bit, zipping straight to the Nakano residence, but Zeta wouldn't let her execute her goal.
"Chaos, I can't let you go through with this." Zeta said, holding his obligation.
"You refuse to let me save him? I thought you loved him too."
"Jared was my brother, but I'm not gonna let you drag his name through the mud."
"Try and save her if you'd like, but I won't let you win." Chaos said, her blades slowly combining into a drill bit that began to spin rapidly.
Zeta rushed in, his finger wagging to the left, causing a portal to open.
"Her power?" He mumbled to himself, "Well, it could've been worse."
Chaos attempted to ram her drill into Zeta, but it was quickly countered by a quick portal Zeta managed to create. From within the newly made portal, a large meteor launched out at Chaos. Unfortunately, Chaos deformed her blades, and instead used them as several cutlesses'. Zeta launched in, a large key forming in his hand, in which he heavily brought down the edge onto Chaos's left shoulder. Chaos swung her left foot into Zeta's ribs, a crack resounding, but in defiance, Zeta swung his arm around, rotating the gold and ruby handle, and slamming it down on Chaos's head. Chaos quickly burst back, and launched a barrage of black and purple fire. Zeta quickly but effortlessly rotated the keyblade around in a circle and shielded himself with the spinning shield.
'DAMN,' Zeta thought to himself. 'I don't have time to switch, she's applying too much pressure.'
"Zeta," Chaos laughed, "You think I would give you an opening to switch weapons? Absolutely not."
Zeta backpedaled a distance, but in an instant Chaos was upon him, slashing every which way with her maniacal bladed wings. Slowly, the key in Zeta's hand began to flicker, slowly dissipating. Zeta swung the thing around, landing the key's point on Chaos's stomach, and then turned to the right.
"Lock," Zeta said, sealing off her ability to use the jagged wings as a weapon.
"Bastard!" Chaos shouted as her wings slowly formed in their standard position.
The power Zeta held slowly faded away, and quickly he waved his finger to the right. A golden bolt of lightning struck him, and Chaos quickly backed off.
"Of all the," Chaos began, "24 AGELOID'S AND YOU GOT BETA'S POWER!"
"Heh, alright now this is one I can use." Zeta said, channeling golden lightning in his hands.
Chaos launched firebolts of purplish-black flames, but it was all for not. Zeta got in close, putting his palm straight in the girl's face and chanting a single word: "Genesis-Chain." Instantly a gold chinese style dragon launched out from his palm and collided with the girl. Chaos was sent flying into the streets below, causing a bit of commotion between the citizens.
"You can't win, you're lucky that this is only power two." Zeta said, spinning a golden lightning sphere in his hand.
Chaos slowly adjusted her wings, the seal on her weapons quickly wearing off. She pointed her right hand upward, and a large purple lightning storm quickly covered the city. Zeta quickly dropped to the ground, his right hand forming into a massive dragon claw, and quickly, he slammed it on top of Chaos. The little girl, despite her petite frame, was easily capable of holding Zeta at bay, and quickly pushed the claw back. Zeta followed a series of quick jumps, quickly and effortlessly avoiding several black bolts of lightning that struck from the sky. Slowly, this new powerup of his began to fade.
"3 minutes in Chaos, you feel like quitting yet?" Zeta laughed, using the remainder of his power to enthrall himself in a protective lightning sphere.
"I won't quit even if I die." Chaos said, exhaling pretty heavily.
Zeta quickly waved his finger to the left, but nothing happened.
"SHIT!" He shouted, in an instant, Zeta retreated to a nearby pipeline.
"Alpha huh, well, you called game too early Zeta," Chaos smirked, using several blades to hunt down Zeta.
Zeta quickly collapsed the edge of a ruined pipe in the hole one of the lightning bolts struck, and instantly, Chaos was blasted by a large amount of water. Unfortunately, Chaos is waterproof, and not just that, even with the water pressure, Chaos was immovable. Slowly she made her way forward, closing the gap between Zeta and herself. Zeta quickly hopped back, taking point at a nearby car. Quickly, he ripped out the engine, siphoned out some of the gas, and proceeded to create a makeshift cannon. Chaos slowly marched forward, the look of insanity clasped to her face. A large blade formed off her back as it slowly slammed down about to crash into Zeta. Zeta launched a flaming tire out of the now disassembled car, and then fired off a burst of gasoline. The tire and gas collided against the blade, and BOOM. Zeta was sent flying back, his spine colliding with a streetlamp in a sitting up posture. Conversely, Chaos was launched back, near the entrance to the Nakano household.
Zeta slowly stood to his feet, clutching his slightly singed side. His bulkier dark blue chest piece and leggings shone a dull hue thanks to the ash that covered his pulsating capacitors. His black mask was slightly cracked, a red energy slowly seeping out of it, and his brown hair ran amok thanks to the updrafts created from the extensive fire. His cloak was singed almost to tatters, but it still flew brilliantly in the wind.
Chaos quickly flew to the top of the Nakano residence. Now that she had gotten away from Zeta, she had to act fast. Effortlessly, she burst through the window shocking several Nakano girls, and in little to no time at all, she grasped one in her jagged wing and burst off. Zeta who was on the ground quickly followed, but was ultimately too slow to keep up thanks to the power he currently held.
"DAMN IT!" Zeta shouted to himself, "TOO SLOW TO STOP HER."
Chaos quickly pulled ahead of Zeta, speedily making her way halfway around the world in half a second, the whole time clutching an unlucky Nakano sibling: Itsuki.

"So then Mr. Fujitora, I brought you to the empty field, better tell me why you think yourself so special." I said, looking at the white haired boy.
"Black, care to spar?" Sam said, making eye contact with me with a resolute grin on his face.
"Not particularly, but I'm assuming your goal was to get me isolated so you can go all out." I said, in a rather monotonous way.
"Precisely, you see, from my old world, there was a man by the name of Black as well, and seeing as you too are out of place in this world, I wish to test you." Sam said, cracking his fists.
"Feel free to try, but there's a reason why Ageloid Delta is dead." I said, forming the slicer on my right hand.
In an instant, Sam charged me. Effortlessly, I vertically slashed, and his arm was cut clean off. Realizing his mortal body, Sam backed off, watching his left socket pour blood all over the Kriegbloom field. Sam slowly walked over to his arm, held it up to his shoulder, and then, somehow, he was fine, his left arm was somehow attached again. Quickly, Sam rushed in, his right arm going for a hook. I quickly ducked down, and high kicked his elbow. He recoiled back, clearly phased by the attack, but as quickly as he had been hurt, he was fine again. With my foot still in the air, he grasped my calf, and pulled, throwing me into the rocks at our feet. "BOOM!" The ground exploded, rocks flying all over, peppering the world in every which way. I quickly spun my leg around, sending Sam flying into the glaive stuck in the ground. Sam collapsed to the ground upon impact, but the glaive remained stagnant in its positioning. Sam slowly stood up, but before he could make another move, I landed a left cross to his abdomen, and then kicked him upward. His black Metallica shirt slightly singed by the impact of my blow, and his black slacks slowly turning into shorts. Sam fell down out in the field, red Kriegblooms facing his general vicinity. Slowly, Sam stood up, shaking off all the hits I landed on him as if they were nothing.
"Let's get this started," Sam laughed, his limbs slowly hardening into a brown carapace.
"Ah what the hell, I gotta let loose," I muttered to myself, my hair sparking in a golden aura.
Sam launched forward, summoning a green demonlike scythe, spinning it around all the while laughing. Conversely I summoned a pink energy scythe, mimicking his technique. Sam was the first to move, jumping in swinging, quickly and effortlessly, I jumped back, narrowly avoiding the horizontal slash that would easily separate my upper half from my legs. I rushed in quickly, bringing the scythe down on Sam's head, only for him to quickly redirect it into his chest. I pulled to rip it out, but it was solidified there. Sam took the opportunity now that I was stuck to twist himself around, and slam my head into the ground, more rocks exploding upon the terrain around us. I deformed the scythe, and quickly back stepped avoiding a downward slash from Sam's scythe. While his scythe was stuck in the ground, I took a moment to regain my composure, and kicked him in the chest, sending him sprawling into a nearby tree. Quickly I picked up his scythe, and used a new technique I had tried for a moment. I routed some of my ki into the scythe, and threw it towards the treeline, the forest exploding in a powerful pink light the size of a house.
Sam quickly jumped out of the forest, brown and green wings clasped to his back, and effortlessly kicked me straight into the middle of the rocks. He attempted to bring the now larger scythe down on me, but I quickly rolled away, just barely avoiding another fatal blow. I jumped back several times, attempting to power up to Super Saiyan 2, but Sam wouldn't relent. Every time I jumped, attempting to distance, he used his wings to quickly close the gap. We got into a habit. I would jump, he'd get in close, do a horizontal swing, I'd dodge, and then jump back yet again. It repeated over and over, eventually we found ourselves out of the field entirely, and in the forest. Quickly, I stomped the ground, peppering the trees with dust, and distanced myself behind Sam. While he was sprawling around trying to find me, I got a good look at his form. His body clasped in a brown hardened exo-skeleton, that pulsated green. Rigid edges were a tough and gritty brown, and the more inward bits were a dark green. His eyes were a glowing green, and his scythe was massive, clocking in at almost 10 feet long, with the blade a whopping 8 feet. He seemed so similar to the form Jared used, almost an exact copy, except he was much weaker.
I rushed in, now Super Saiyan 2, and roundhouse kicked Sam back to the rocks. Unfortunately for him, he lost his scythe in the process, and I treated myself to a new powerful weapon. Quickly, I flew and landed back at the field, to see Sam awaiting me, applauding.
"You're really good!" He shouted giddily, as if he were a little child seeing their new idol.
"I have to be good," I harshly spoke, readying the scythe.
"Is that really you Black?" Sam said, awestruck still.
"Well, my name is Black," I fired back, annoyed at his front.
"No, like, are you really truly him?" He said, rather convinced of my identity.
"Depends, who you are." I said, full well ready to get the fatal blow on him.
"It's me, Zamasu." Sam said, raising his arms up, smiling as if meeting an old friend.
"What? How?" I murmured, surprised at his resurface.
"I was reincarnated Black, and now I'm here." Sam smiled, clearly excited.
"But Jared's dead, no one can reincarnate now." I said, dumbfounded.
"The entity I met to send me here didn't seem like it was dead." Sam said, picking up on my notion.
"But who could be reincarnating people into this world?" I muttered to myself, puzzled.
"Who cares?" Sam laughed, "I want to hear your master plan to exact justice!" He said excitedly.
"What do you mean?" I inquired.
"In order to be here, I had to trade my Zero Mortals Plan, so I want to know yours." Sam elaborated.
"I'm still working on that," I said, reminded of Daniel.
"But, it was our goal to free the world, shouldn't you be spending every second of every day perfecting it?" Sam said, clearly confused.
"I haven't had the time." I quietly mumbled.
"What? Why not? Shouldn't you-" Sam said before I interrupted.
"I've been busy," I muttered.
"But this is our dream, how are you busy, what with?" He phrased.
"I'm sick." I said, finally confronting it.
"Sick how? You're omnipotent." Sam said, now worried.
"I have... depression."

"Zeta, not another step forward or else." Chaos said.
"Mariana trench huh? Surprised you've got the power to structure here." Zeta smirked making his way forward to Chaos.
Around the pair a jagged castle lay, isolated at the bottom of the ocean. Large spiking blades, similar to Chaos's wings, formed the dark castle's structure. A black seafloor was their floor, and Chaos's camo drive allowed the blades on the ceiling to be completely translucent. The throne room was encompassed in an overbearing darkness, there was an engrossing lack of light, this was the stuff of nightmares.
"Well, it does bring back memories," Chaos chuckled to herself.
"Ha, I guess it wouldn't be the first time you dove to the deepest spot in the world." Zeta said, forming a lance.
Chaos looked at the boy, mask gone, gear tattered, but still resolute. His blue eyes glowing with resolve, his hair charred but still present, and his pale skin showing.
"Notice how you call me Chaos, but I call you by your given name." Chaos maliciously smirked, her eyes locked on the boy's right hand.
"Indeed, what's the issue here?" Zeta smiled ominously.
"It's a form of Chaos: hypocrisy." Chaos said, clutching her left fist.
In an instant, Zeta's hand burst into blood, splattering on the ground.
"WHAT? HOW?" Zeta shouted, shocked at Chaos's power.
"Anyone who takes on the meaning of Chaos is at my disposal," Chaos said, her hand bleeding as well, "The pair of us are tied by our submission to Chaos."
Zeta quickly penetrated his shoulder with the lance he formed. Blood splashed, almost unseen thanks to the darkness that covered the room. Similarly, Chaos's same shoulder burst with blood.
"Now you get it Zeta. Our pain is tethered." She maliciously laughed, "And as you know, in terms of recovery, I'm on a higher level than you."
"Is this some speech about "you can't win?" or some bullshit like that?" Zeta inquired.
"Absolutely. You're better off letting me continue my actions than trying to fight me." Chaos smiled wholeheartedly.
"I can't let you harm that girl," Zeta said, pointing his lance at the tied up Nakano sibling.
"Interesting, but you alone can't stop me, y'know that right?" Chaos smirked.
"All talk, no bitches," Sigma laughed to himself shuffling into the throne room as if nothing happened.
"Wow, two Ageloids? I'm so scared." Chaos said all the while smiling.
"Not quite," Gamma said, following Sigma's lead. "3 might be more of an issue."
"Well then," Chaos said, using the "come at me motion," "Don't let me stop you."
Instantly, all 3 of the Ageloids launched at a now laughing Chaos.

From afar, a familiar individual slowly made his way toward the remains of Delta tower. A chaotic world surrounding him, plagued by hellstorms of snow. Slowly he trudged forward, a makeshift blade at his side, a hefty cloak covering him from hypothermia. The shattered debris of the blue tower cloaked his vision, but among the wreckage he could see one thing.
"There it is, this is what you wanted me to find Jared," He smiled coyly to himself, "I mean, I'll take it, but still."
In his sight was an amalgamation of a machine, but completely intact, it was the sole survivor of Delta towers collapse. Slowly the figure approached, removing his cloak and walking into the machine. His brown hair showed one last time before it was sealed off to the outside world, slowly, the figure lost consciousness, awaiting the time he would next see his new body. From afar he could see his former blade, a purple glowing Katana, slowly sparking electricity and drifting towards him.
"Heh, happy 28th to you too man." He uttered to himself, before finally losing consciousness.
___________________________________________________________________
I slowly made my way home, feeling good that I finally told someone about my issues. Turning onto Leeway street, I saw debris, and large craters in the street. Shattered glass decorated the area, and several Ambulances were treating wounded people. Quickly, I realized the scenario and rushed up to the top of the Nakano residence. The stairwell was cracked, and thanks to the elevator being out of order, there was nothing I could do to ascend faster. Flight would risk damaging the entire building, and that's the last thing I wanted. When I got to the Nakano household, I quickly opened the door to see... nothing. Aside from the shattered window, I couldn't see a single member of the family. Quickly I rushed to the window to try to spot them in the streets below, and was relieved when I saw Ichika talking to a first responder. I jumped out of the building, landing quietly, and made my way over to her.
"ICHIKA WHAT HAPPENED!" I shouted.
"Black I'm sorry," She solemnly said, clearly tired out from crying.
"What?" I said awfully worried.
From behind her, I could slowly see the other sisters in a circle crying with one another.
'Counting Ichika, that's one, Nino makes two, Miku makes three, and Yotsuba is four, then where's...'
"Itsuki was captured Black," Ichika said somberly, crying yet again.
"Oh," was all I could say.
