In Another World With Chaos

Chapter 15: The Grand Finale- Love is Pain

Welcome to the final chapter of this book! For now this is where I leave off, so thank you all for reading this far and to this point.
_________________________________
"JARED YOU BASTARD, I KNOW YOU CAN HEAR ME, SO GET YOUR ASS BACK UP, WE GOTTA FINISH THE FIGHT!" I shouted, endlessly being bombarded by Allistar's rapid attacks.
In one hand, Jared's calf, clenched tightly by Allistar, so much as to not let the boy go. In the other, Allistar wielded a sphere of blue fire. He repeatedly launched several of said sphere's, all of which traveled a small distance, and then detonated into larger spheres. Still, Jared failed to regain consciousness even with the whole fight happening.
I cut off my flight, and slammed into the ground. Allistar followed suit, his hand still firing off the blue energy as he gracefully landed. I clutched onto a sword I made from Ki and ice, and Allistar formed a sword from that blue energy. Before I could even blink, Allistar warped in front of me and slammed his sword down onto mine. I guarded, and then kicked him in the shin. Allistar collapsed down for a moment, but in several bolts of red lightning, he teleported back and regained his footing. I swung my sword around, and then threw it at Allistar. He easily dodged, and instantly he closed the gap. He brought his sword down once more, aiming for my side. I jumped back, formed a new sword, and slammed it into his right arm. The wound was slight, but it was a start. Allistar flinched back, surprised that he even managed to be hurt. I spun around, and shoved my sword into his abdomen. The blow did nothing, and my sword shattered upon impact. I reformed my blade again, this time shoving it into his shoulder, but still nothing.
"My second form Black, granted it is unfortunate I'm stuck like this, but my resistance is unparalleled."
I slammed my fist into his stomach, and heard the unsettling crunch of my fist faltering against the impact. I grasped my hand in pain for a moment, and simultaneously, I fell to the ground. My heart beat intensely in my chest. I looked around to see if Trex was around, but I didn't see a thing.
"And that is the other reason why you can't win this fight. That wasserpest you hooked up to your bloodstream completely knocked your body out. The fact you're moving... It's astounding." Allistar smiled looking down at my crumbled body.
This was my final stand. I needed to do something, ANYTHING to get Jared back up.
"Ka-" I inhaled.
"Ka? Oh... you mean your "Kamehameha," move? I'll let you get one free beam off."
"KAMEHAMEHA!" I shrieked.
A large pink beam burst from my hands, slamming into Allistar, and pushing him back. Aside from that, I had done nothing to him.
"So, all that and still nothing." Allistar cocked back his fist. "Goodbye Black, it's been a pleasure."
The fist was launched off. I didn't have the energy to dodge fast enough. I attempted to jump back, but Allistar lunged forward. Right before it was about to make an impact, I was tackled to the ground.
"Sorry to keep you waiting Black," Jared smirked, holding out his hand.
I grasped onto his hand, and was pulled to my feet.
"Now then, it's time for the finale." Jared laughed, "we give it everything we have."
Jared kicked Allistar back to the rocky clearing, and the true situation and dramatics finally kicked in. We stood United, our Allies all lay soaked in pools of their blood. All of our Ageloid forces were bested, leaving Jared and I to fend off Allistar. From afar, Allistars praetorians smiled, somehow knowing the outcome. Several of the Ageloids were conscious, just attempting to heal themselves.
I bore my fists, and my hair spiked pink. Jared's hair switched to a dark blue, and he burst into flames that slowly healed both he, and my wounds. I slammed into Allistar, landing an uppercut with my left hand. Allistar retorted slamming his fist into my head, but was shut down by Jared sending him flying into a nearby tree with a kick. I flew back into the fight, slamming both my hands into his face, and Allistar instantly stumbled back, and was kicked in the shins by Jared. Allistar collapsed to the ground  clutching his leg, but he wasn't done yet. He reached to his back, formed a large blade, and slammed it to the ground. Both Jared and I jumped back, and then I went in for a left hook. Allistar flinched, giving Jared enough time to form Asweaver, and shove it into Allistars left arm. Ashweaver pierced the skin, but wasn't enough to actually cause much more than a little blood. Allistar recovered, and kicked us both, sending us flying back onto the rocky clearing.
Instantly, Jared and I were both back on our feet. Allistar came carrening at us from the forest. He was kicked straight in the thigh, his body collapsing to the ground, and as soon as he was down, I slammed down on top of him with as much force as I could muster. A large rocky avalanche cloaked the terrain, and several of the conscious Ageloids, as well as the Pratoreons, raised their arms to deflect the rocks. Allistar slammed his fist into my calf, and I collapsed to the ground. He stood up, but was sent back a fair distance by Jared's right fist meeting his head. Allistar recovered quickly, and then kicked Jared clear in the head, sending him spinning backwards into a nearby tree. I slammed my fist into the back of his head, and he stuttered a bit forward. Allistar whipped around, and low swept me. I crashed to the ground, and rolled back. Allistar jumped forward, attempting to land on me, but he was sent flying by Jared's fist connecting to his back. Allistar spun about, and slammed his hand into the ground, tearing it up, but stopping his motion. He rushed in forward, but he was met with Jared slamming his fist into Allistars. Allistar gripped his fist in pain, as Jared cut off his arm to save himself the trouble of regenerating a whole bone.
I slammed my fist into Allistars abdomen, and then landed a high kick to his head. He was sent flying back, his white hair rustling in the sheer wind he kicked up. Allistar crashed to the ground, but instantly appeared before us slamming his foot into my stomach. I collapsed to the ground, coughed up some blood, and slowly got back to my feet. Jared slammed his newly regenerated left arm into Allistars head, but was soon met with a hole in his stomach. Allistar had punched straight through Jared's abdominal area, and his gentle facade faded. Jared clutched his abdomen with his right hand, and slammed his left hand repeatedly into a now stuck Allistar. I appeared behind Allistar, and shoved the Fierce God Slicer into where his heart would be. It cut straight through his pectoral area, but still, nothing.
Jared kicked Allistar off of him as we both rushed forward at the bastard. I landed a right jab, while Jared landed a left cross. Constantly we traded blows on Allistar, pushing him back at a constant momentum. I landed a left hook, Jared slammed a right cross into his abdomen. A high kick from me went into a question kick from Jared. I slammed my fist into his head as a right hook. Allistar attempted to guard the barrage, but the combo was nearly endless. Jared slammed his foot into Allistars head, and then combo'd it with another kick, and I finished up with a holy light grenade.
"I'M SICK AND TIRED OF THESE GAMES JARED, GIVE UP NOW OR ELSE!" Allistar's now gentle and calm tone faded away.
"You kidding me? I'm just..." Jared caught his breath, "I'm just getting started."
"C'mon Allistar, even I know better than to assume Jared would just, give up." I smirked.
"Now then Allistar, let me show you my newest form." Jared smiled maniacally.
Jared slammed Ashweaver into his chest, all his veins ruptured, and red blood oozed from every hole in his body it could find. Jared's eyes went bloodshot, his armor was stained crimson red, and his blade went from a dark blue to a blood red. As he unsheathed Ashweaver, his hair turned completely dark red, and an evil smile grasped his face. 
"Blood Blade mode," Jared laughed.
"My turn Jared," I cheerfully laughed.
I began to power up, my pink hair calling down lightning from above, combining into a pink circle around my head. The lightning pulsed from the now pink halo, and I smiled evilly.
"SUPER SAIYAN ROSE: ANGELIC." I shouted.
The pair of Jared and I smirked. Allistar's eyes went wide just before they narrowed.
"Your big plan, your FINAL card, your last attack, Blood Blade Technique, and whatever Black has? Jared, I'm disappointed."
Instantly, Jared vanished and reappeared behind Allistar, he shoved his blade into Allistar, but before it could make impact, Allistar whipped his right hand back. It was about to hit Jared, but Jared warped away in the nick of time to avoid. I lunged in, slamming my fist into his abdominal area, Allistar coughed up a little bit of blood, but was relatively unscathed.
Jared reappeared, spinning around with his sword, and attempting to slam it into Allistar. Allistar raised his hands to guard, but his guard was shattered by my fist connecting to the back of his head. Allistar stumbled forward, and a large cut was etched into his left eye. Allistar stuttered back, his feet trudging a bit in the rocks as he clutched his left eye. He looked down at his hand, covered in blood, and then let out a pained shout when he realized his eye was incapable of sight.
"You... BASTARD! HOW DARE YOU DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO ME, IF YOU WEREN'T MY SON, I'D EXECUTE YOU RIGHT HERE!"
Allistar rushed forward, large bolts of lightning peppering the ground like artillery. Jared narrowly warped away from a heavy hit, but I raised my arms to guard. Before he could make an impact, Jared slammed his sword into the back of Allistars head. Allistar clutched his head in pain, before turning around, and blasting Jared with a massive ball of flame. Jared was able to avoid it by warping away, but I was unlucky, going in for an attack and feeling the full fury of Allistars wrath.
My skin was singed, but I emerged ok. I slowly stood up to see Allistar flailing attack after attack wildly around. Jared dodged through every single one with nothing but relative ease, and then slid into Allistar, slicing his armor with a devious sword uppercut. Allistar stumbled backwards, and I slammed my fist into his face, sending him straight to the ground. Allistar rolled back, got back to his feet just in time for me to land a twin tornado kick on him, and immediately after, Jared shoved his sword into Allistars shoulder. Allistar landed on the ground coughing, but walked again as if nothing happened. I fired off a large barrage of Ki blasts, while Jared mirrored me, launching endless amounts of blue fire. Allistar swatted all the projectiles away, but was met with both mine, and Jared's fists connecting to his head.
Allistar slammed to the ground again, and then behind him, a large purple and white glave formed in his left hand.
"YOU BOYS HAVE TESTED MY PATIENCE FOR LONG ENOUGH, IT'S TIME YOU FACE THE CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR ACTIONS!"
Jared brought out his glaive in his left hand, and switched his sword to his right hand. He looked to Allistars glaive, and then readied his own. Allistar slammed his glaive into the ground, and slowly, the world around us faded into a void of black and little white flecks. Jared whipped his glaive around, shattering the void, but was blindsided by Allistars fist meeting his face. Jared slammed against a tree, but warped in front of me in time to spin his glaive around and block a punch from Allistar. Allistar constantly landed punch after punch on Jared, but each blow was guarded with Remnant of Reality. Allistar kept smiling, with every punch, Jareds movements got slower and slower. I slammed into Allistar, but as soon as I got within just about a meter, my movements were slowed. Allistar looked at me, kicked me, and continued throwing hits at Jared. Jared stumbled back, earning himself a fluid blow from Allistar, and quickly met the cold ground as he fell.
"Finally, you've begun to tire out. I hate entertaining your rebellion," Allistar smiled, slamming his fist straight into Jared's abdomen. "To be fair, you couldn't win in the first place though, I mean, one Origin class Ageloid vs the literal destroyer of the multiverse, what can you hope to accomplish?" Allistar repeatedly kneed Jared in the head.
Jared fell to the ground, and was immediately stomped on by Allistar, Allistar stood upon his chest, and began to jump over and over, causing immense pressure on the boy's diaphragm. I ran forward, in an attempt to save Jared, but my body became heavy, and slammed to the ground. I sat and watched as Jared got every ounce of humanity beat out of him. Allistar contorted his body, cut him up into little tiny pieces, twisted his head 720 degrees, and still, Jared attempted to fight.
Jared put his hands together, focusing a large beam, and launching blueish energy at Allistar. Allistar covered his face, but when the light passed, Jared was completely unconscious. Allistar bent down, grabbed Jareds shattered leg, and dragged him back to the other Praetorians. I got to my feet and rushed at Allistar, but again, I was met with that heavy field, and Allistar sent his foot straight into my head.
I brought my hands together, gold light convening together as I raised it up to launch it at the man. Allistar smiled, swinging his glaive around to guard, but was met with a blinding white light. His smile faltered as when the light faded, his right hand was missing. The remainder of his body was intact, but his right hand was completely gone.
Allistar warped in close, and slammed his hand into my abdomen, he let out a pitiful smile, and then whispered a slight, "nighty night."
I collapsed to the ground to see Jared, somehow still standing while Allistar held a glaive above me.
"WAIT!" Jared shouted, "I give up."
Out of breath, Jared stumbled forward, almost collapsing on every step.
"I will go back into the reality in between, I'll let you use my power to get into the ultrimiteverse, just let everyone here go."
"Quite the business man, though I'm more than entitled to more than just you."
"I'll make up for all the pain we've caused you today." A small voice whispered.
"Ah, Epsilon, perfect, you shall be the muse that I shall exact my wrath on. Very well, you have a deal Jared."
I looked up to see Allistar grasp onto both Chaos and Jared, and tear open a hole in space. He dragged both Jared and Chaos through, but before they could get any further, I attempted to stand, but my spine was shattered. I pushed off the ground, and collapsed onto my back. I formed a glaive, and slammed it into the ground. I pushed myself back to my feet, and made my way towards Allistar.
"JARED, DON'T YOU DARE GIVE UP HERE!" I shouted as loud as I could muster. "YOU HAD AMBITION, A DREAM, A REALITY THAT YOU WANTED, I WANT THAT REALITY TOO, SO YOU CAN'T DIE JARED, NOT WHILE YOU HAVE A WORLD TO CREATE!"
Jared looked over to me, his eyes pained, his body ruined, and yet he still fought. Chaos slammed a blade through his calf, and I charged up a golden beam of light. Allistar looked at his hand, it was stuck in Jared's body, but rapidly, Jared's body reformed in order to keep Allistar isolated in one spot. Chaos planted the remainder of her blades in the ground, anchoring her to the place she stood, and forcefully kept Jared in place, her eyes begging for forgiveness. Allistar continued to tug, attempting to rip his hand from Jareds body, but Jared reformed his arm, and latched onto Allstars wrist, pulling him even closer. Allistar relentlessly smashed Jared's head, attempting to break out. Bones were shattered, blood spewed all over, but Jared managed to hold out, and continue to grasp onto Allstars hand. My beam was almost completed, the golden white aura now rapidly combining into one ball of energy. Chaos was struggling to keep her footing, Allistar relentlessly hammered Jared's skull, and I was stuck nearly unconscious from all the fighting. I was fading off for a moment, this attack was doomed to fail, but I looked at Jared, still somehow fighting, he had reformed both his arms now, and rapidly slammed his fist into Allistars head. Allistar faltered with all the attacks, but he still managed to continue. Jared slammed his fist as hard as he could, his own fingers, arm, and even shoulder crumbling under the impact, and still Allistar was unphased. I pulled my hands back, preparing to fire the beam I had created, Jared kept Allistar still, Chaos fought to keep Jared still, and I let off the attack. The beam pierced the sky, Allistar fully engulfed in the golden white light. When it completely cleared, Jared crumpled to the ground, I fell unconscious, and Chaos fell to a sitting position, all of us were unconscious.
"Wow... WOW!" A dark voice smiled, "AMAZING, YOU BOYS REALLY GAVE ME A RUN FOR MY MONEY, but now... you're all out of steam, and me, well I'm just getting started." Allistar emerged, his clothes pure white, and a large beam of energy gravitating off his body to a figure in a vat of energy.
Allistar now had pure white veins that pulsated twice every second. His eyes were glowing white, his cloak showing his royalty was a light blue and white, and he held a silver rapier at his hip. A silver crown with blue gems ingrained in the top was present atop his head, and an encrusted hilt for an inaugural knife was at his chest. All attention however, was focused on the figure behind him. A girl, with white hair, permanently frozen in a vat of bubbling liquid. A large wire fed from Allistar to the vat, while white energy surrounded the wire, as a sort of shield.
Jared looked to Allistar, a complete smirk attached to his face.
"You... BASTARD!" Jared shouted.
Jared rushed forward, only to collapse immediately, Completely unconscious. Allistar bent down, grabbed Jared, acquired Chaos, and then dragged the two to the hole in space he had made. He gave a quick smile to me, a quaint bow, and then left, the remaining praetorians following, and finally the Ageloid aptly named Beta.
Not long after, I lost consciousness. I next woke up in some strange hospital, the Nakano siblings asleep at the bedside, and Sam asleep on the nearby chair.
"You're awake," Kianu said, walking into the room.
"Somehow," I chuckled slightly.
"Y'know, I don't harbor any sort of grudge against you, it might come from being an Ageloid, but I think I lost a lot of basic feelings."
"What happened after Jared and Chaos, were captured by Allistar?"
"I figured you wanted to know, but not that soon. Well, here goes. Your attack knocked out a shit ton of land. There's a whole ass hole in one of the nearby volcanoes. Using matter disintegration takes a lot of energy. Using that much matter disintegration takes pretty much all your energy. You've been out for just under two weeks. After your final stand against Allistar, rescue hospitals, emergency operations, everything pro-humanitarian emerged. You're in one of those hospitals right now. As for Jared and Chaos, well, Allistar needs Jared's power. Suffice to say it, Allistar isn't as all powerful as you'd think. Jared has access to free roam reality travel as long as he has the energy for it. The whole bulk of reality was destroyed by Allistar when he first started his emergence. He lost a lot of power, but with Jared's help, he can reach the center of the Ultrimiteverse, or as you'd know it, the center of reality. When he gets there, rumor has it that he could claim the mantle of "the one above all," and from there, he can exact the one dream he's always had." Kianu prefaced before catching his breath."
"What about Chaos? I want my revenge on her."
"Rumor has it, she's been tortured in the dungeons for all the time you've been knocked out. Her execution date is set to sometime next year."
"And the other Ageloids? Where did they go."
"Our job is to save Jared, and then stop Allistar, all we're doing is cashing in all the favors Jared wracked up over the years."
"What about Earth, what about MY world?"
"That's for you to figure out," Kianu laughed. "You've been declared the hero of Earth. This is a time of crisis, and everyone is scared, so do your best and don't screw up."
"And you? Where are you going?"
"Isn't it obvious? To save my friend." He smirked before leaving. On his way out he dropped off a blue envelope addressed to me, from Jared.
"Wait!" I shouted, causing several of the Nakano girls to stir.
"Yes?" Kianu paused.
"Is that it?"
"Elaborate."
"Is that the end, is that all from you Ageloids? You ruin my world, and then leave?"
"Just read the letter," Kianu said exasperated, and then left.
Instantly as he left, I was pounced on by the now four quintuplets.
"Black!" All four shouted, tears streaming down their eyes.
"Easy, easy," I mused, "my body still needs to recover."
Nino looked me dead in the eyes, "Don't do that EVER again!"
"We were worried sick!" Ichika prefaced, "You had several spinal fractures, a broken wrist, several dislocated fingers, and just about 20% of your blood was gone."
"Yeah yeah, I know, I'm sorry," I smiled, but then quickly frowned after I remembered what happened to Miku. "What about Miku? What did you do with the body?"
"Well," Itsuki started, "we wanted to wait for you to wake up before we held a burial. Luckily in the destruction of the city, the mortuary was miraculously ok. It cost a lot to get Miku's body to priority, but it was worth it."
"Oh."
"But," Yotsuba said, suppressing her sorrow, "it's ok, from her journal entries, it sounded like she wasn't happy without Daniel, so wherever the two are, they're probably much happier!"
"That still doesn't mean much for us though," Ichika mumbled.
"Well, even if we don't have our sister anymore," Nino began, "at least we can know that she's happy."
The quintuplets kept talking about Miku, and debating as to wether she was ok. My mind began to slip away, and I thought to the previous couple of weeks when I first met Trex.
'I'll sell you one of the 5, in exchange, your company is mine, I'll take all your stocks, Your jet is top notch, I'll take that in exchange for one, I want all your contacts with the government, I'll auction her off tonight starting at 100 billion yen,'
'Maruno, did you really willingly pawn your daughters off as some sort of... scheme?'
"Isn't that right Black?" Nino pulled me out of my thoughts.
"What? Sorry I spaced."
"Daniel's happy too now that Miku's with him." Ichika interrupted.
"I think so, I'd hope so, he is my best friend after all, it'd be a damn shame if he was unhappy, he deserves the world."
Some time passed, and the quintuplets were ushered out of the room thanks to a noise complaint, but Sam, who was asleep, managed to sweep under the nurses radar. He slowly stirred after all the commotion, and then stood to his feet.
"You look awful Black."
"Great to see you too."
"Well, after all that, the warfare, the bloodshed, everything, do you have an answer to what justice is?"
"No, but I think I have a clue."
"Which is?"
I sat up, looked out of the window to see the quintuplets, now less in number, walking away.
"Them."
"Ha, I never thought I'd see you falling for a group of mortals, but sure, that can be our justice for now."
"Our?"
"Yes, our, from now on, we're Earth's tag team of heroes."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, who said anything about being a team?"
"Well, seeing as I'm the stronger one of us, I feel it's best if we're equals."
"EQUALS! No, I'm clearly superior, you should be my sidekick."
"As if! I happened to be in the fight against Chaos, and Reason for HOURS, you passed out after fighting Chaos for 10 hours, and then passed out again after Allistar escaped, if anything, you're lucky that I consider you my equal."
"I almost killed that Allistar bastard, but y'know, we can be equals," I cracked a grin, and then reached out my hand for a fist bump. "You and me Zamasu, we'll exact our justice on this world."
"Hell yes Black, hell yes."
Sam stood up, and began to leave the hospital room. On his way out, he grabbed the blue letter, and handed it to me.
"You know who it's from, read it whenever, I tried to open it, but even when I got it away from Kianu, I still couldn't open it."
"Thanks man."
"Oh and one other thing before I leave, Sayu Fujitora, my "mother," don't trust her."
"Thanks I guess?"
"Of course, I'll see you."
I took a quick nap, my dreams creating an immense world in the clouds. I looked up to see a smiling Daniel.
"Black, it seems you've been well."
"Hey Daniel, I hope you've been good."
"Of course I have."
"I'm sorry I couldn't protect Miku."
"Hahaha, even if this is just a dream, I technically am still Daniel, and Black, I could never be mad at you."
"Thanks, that means more than you know."
"Of course, now then, it's about time you read Jared's letter."
"Right."
I woke up rather quickly, let my eyes adjust to the light, and then reached for the envelope on the table next to my hospital bed. Reluctantly, I tore the envelope apart, and inside was a blue sort of cardstock paper addressed to me.
'Black, I know you're reading this, but I just need to take a moment to say sorry. When the me of the past first took in Chaos, I thought nothing of it, but now, after everything she's caused, I can never redeem her. Then again, I can't abandon her either. There are a million things I could apologize for, but anything I could say wouldn't do much. So I'll just tell you this. I don't care what happens to Chaos, if she dies, oh well, but if she's saved, I'll let you pick her fate. Black when I first met you, I thought you were a typical run of the mill pathetic reincarnation, but seeing you here and now, you and I standing side by side, I'm glad that I got to know you. I wanted to emphasize this to you cause for once I don't know how this will end. A long time ago I learned how I was gonna die, and that death is quite possible in the near future. As much as you probably hate me, I want to say, thanks. For everything, for fighting even when I couldn't, for standing up to destined death, and still spitting in its eyes. How this all ends is up to you now. Allistar has my power, and after he gets what he wants, he's probably coming to Earth. It's up to you if you wanna help my friends stop him. Keep this letter as a sign of your allegiance, or throw it away to show that you're done with my antics, I won't think any less of you if you do. Whatever you choose, thank you for everything.
-Jared
P.S if you're wondering how I made this letter, when I healed Cherish, I fabricated it out of my power, and hid it under her body with a certain signal only Kianu would know.
I set the letter back onto the desk, determined to find a use for it later. I looked out to see the city being rebuilt, and to my surprise, three large statues were erected in the center of the city. Made of some mix of iron or metal of sorts, I saw three distinct figures: Myself, standing in the center, Fierce God Slicer pointed upward, and an icy glaive in my left hand behind me. Sam using my shoulder to brace himself as a large scythe pointed outward from his right hand, scarring the ground beside him. Finally, the last figure depicted, was Daniel, the dragon like clothing stuck to his form, his fist raised in a boxers bounce stance, and a smile on his face.
A nurse interrupted me from my statue viewing session.
"Mr. Black, someone is here to see you."
"Of course, let them in."
A little girl, and a middle aged man walked through the door. Isanari Uesugi, and Raia Uesugi. They both sprinted up to the bed, pulled out a chair, and took a seat.
"Black, thank you for protecting us from Chaos." Isanari bowed down, prompting Raia to follow.
"Whoa, no need for that," I smiled, "anything for a friend of mine."
The three of us talked for around an hour. The sun in the distance had begun to set, and the pair had to head out. I waved goodbye to them, and watched them leave. A nurse walked in a few minutes later, let me know my discharge was scheduled for later this week, and left. I sunk back into my bed, and formed a green string from the strange power of Strand. I wove it around my finger, and then dozed off for the night.
In Another World With Chaos- FIN
