Vol 2 Chapter 1 The Chaos Within #5

  ‘Jake’ screams at Jackson before pouncing straight towards him. ‘Jake’s’ right arm was raised upwards, and the nails on his hands grew sharper. Falling, ‘Jake’ aimed and tried slashing Jackson, but he was able to avoid lethal damage. Jackson evades the attack by taking a step to the left. Although Jackson is scratched on the face by ‘Jake’, he manages to place ‘Jake’ in the exact position he wants. Jackson clenches his fist and goes under Jake, landing a knuckle directly into ‘Jake’s’ face, knocking him back for quite a distance, causing ‘Jake’ to crash into the home of a civilian. Luckily, the people who survived ‘Jake’s’ wrath fled away, leaving only the imposter and Jackson in that town. As ‘Jake’ crashes, a small fog of dirt and dust forms; Jackson loses vision of ‘Jake’; Jackson searches the area, preparing for a sneak attack. Jackson soon hears a voice coming from seemingly nowhere. As Jackson pans towards where ‘Jake’ is, all he can see is darkness; everywhere he looks, it is nothing but emptiness. A voice could soon be heard telepathically by Jackson.
???: “Order has already fallen, little one.”
Jackson: “Who are you?”
Chaos: “I’m the one you despise, the one who loves suffering and world domination. I’m the one who wishes to watch the world burn down.”
Jackson: “Chaos.”
Chaos: “Exactly.”
Jackson: “What do you want with Jake?”
Chaos: “What I desire is the same for all living beings—an advantage. You see, even though Devorator Animarum is a strong being, it lacks….the potential to become a deity of mass destruction. But Jake….I’ve been examining Jake since the day an imbalance began. Jake was the perfect candidate to take over Devorator Animarum’s place. He is the perfect weapon for causing chaos.”
Jackson: “Heh, you think Jake would lose that easily?”
Chaos: “I understand he is a stubborn kid, but you must remember, Jake is not alone. It is only a matter of time before Devorator Animarum and the chaos manifestation of Jake take full control over his body. And when that happens…Hahahaha….Let’s say I will be the one taking over his story.”
Jackson: “Why Jake, why not anyone else?”
Chaos: “You still don’t get it, do you? Jake was destined to achieve great things, stomping over all chaos. Jake has a potential that even the gods fear. He wasn’t chosen to be a hero by luck but by fate. And fate….has a very strong influence over everything. Once they fully gain control over Jake, it won’t be long before every multiverse is consumed by chaos.”
Jackson: “Sorry, but I can’t let that happen.”
Chaos: “Hahahaha, you can try. But no matter what, chaos can never be extinguished.”
Jackson: “Watch me.”
  The darkness disappears, and Jackson returns to the battle in the nick of time. Jackson turns around to see the imposter charging close to him. Jackson dodged his attack by jumping, rolling forward, and turning his whole body towards the imposter.
Jackson: “Chaos may be everywhere, but it doesn’t mean I won’t try to stop it.”
  ‘Jake’ let out a roar and charged towards Jackson again; he dodged and weaved through some of the attacks, finding openings and landing hits on the imposter, hoping to weaken him.  As the battle continued, the demons within Jake only grew stronger, slowly taking better control over Jake. The imposter, too, slowly manages to use Jake's powers, although not in full control, but enough to get the upper hand. Jackson lands a hit on ‘Jake’s’ gut but is blocked by ‘Jake’ and instead knocks him back a few meters behind. Suddenly, while Jackson was catching his breath, ‘Jake’ slowly stood back normally, his face slowly losing its feral features, ‘Jake’ looked at his hands as if he was familiarising himself with their details, ‘Jake’ clenched his fists and metal claws emerge in between his knuckles. He then looks up at Jackson…. smiling.
Jackson: “Ah shit.”
  Meanwhile, on the other side. Jake awakens in a void-like area. The place isn’t dark, nor is it bright. Jake could perfectly see his body as if there was light. Jake wandered into the darkness, trying to figure out where he was.
Jake: “Is this the place my soul lives? Or am I just in a random body part? I could be in the butt right now…Man, I say the weirdest shit ever. Why am I always so self-aware, too.”
  Walking and walking, Jake slowly grew bored and tired. Jake lies down on the surface.
Jake: “Guess my soul is tired of the bullshit I’ve been through, cuz damn, I’m tired after walking for a bit.”
  Resting for a while, Jake continued on his walk, resting when tired and repeating the process until progress was found. Jake soon felt joy as he saw a small, glowing white flame in the distance. Jake ran towards it. As he approaches the flame, it turns into his kid self. Jake gets scared by Jake’s presence and runs away; Jake chases after his kid self. Kid Jake soon stumbles upon another version of Jake, and beside him is a tall, pale, slender man.
Jake: “Get away from The Boogeyman, kid Jake.”
 Jake was about to run the opposite way as a kid, but the Boogeyman grabbed him by the neck. It raises Kid Jake above him, and its hand grabs Kid Jake’s leg. Jake ran as fast as he could but was knocked aside by the imposter Jake. Jake points his hand out, trying to convince them to leave the kid alone, but to no avail as he witnesses kid Jake being ripped apart and consumed.
Jake: “Fuckin hell! Why are you here? And why did you eat the kid?”
Imposter Jake: “Oh, you mean little runt. hahahahaha. He wasn’t ‘Just a kid’. He was a part of your soul, which holds most of your life's essence due to his gentle nature. Now that Devorator Animarum has consumed him, he has better control over your body and can access your powers. Once we defeat and consume you, your body’s control will forever be under our full control. Mwahahahahaha.”
  The imposter slowly approaches Jake, smiling and taunting him for failing. Jake angrily stood back up, grinding his teeth a bit.
Jake: “I’ll make you pay for what you two have done.”
Imposter Jake: “I would like to see you try.”
