Arc 2 Chapter 174 Chaos

A raging storm of darkness assaulted the giant sock and started tearing it apart, all while limiting the weird creature made out of socks.

A blob of darkness watched as the one to blame for its pain was being forced into submission just like him. But it didn't end there, after the giant sock was destroyed the sock was trapped in the cloud like darkness and was swallowed, before the blob knew it the sock died, just like that. The being who had tortured him for so long, just gone, defeated like it was worth less than the dirt on the ground.

As the cloud finished its business, the being behind the unnatural occurrence started to regain its sanity.

Ratri regained her calm and noticed Ragnar on the ground. He was still a blob of darkness and didn't seem interested to move. He simply laid there, doing nothing.

"What's wrong with you, what did that thing do to you?" She asked concerned about Ragnar.

"Nothing, I simply realized my blood wasn't as holy as I thought it was!" Ragnar said, not wanting to elaborate.

Meanwhile unbeknownst to Ratri Ragnar was having an internal battle with himself.

~Pov Ragnar~ (Inner space) (Third person)

Ragnar sat on a plain grass field, next to him stood the sun version of himself. Ragnar's eyes were closed, thinking deeply about something. He was in his human form, as it was the true form of his soul, not matter how much he aged, he never stopped seeing himself as human. Even if he didn't always act like one.

"Where is Chaos?" Ragnar asked the sun version of him, in the sun dinosaur form of him. It was different from the chaos version of himself with seven arms. Instead it was even more bizarre.

Nightwater took on the shape of four stick wings with dragon like hide over the sticks, seeming more like fins than wings. He had the shape of a dragon through and through, with his own character connected to it. The sharp claws were still on his two front arms, while his two back legs had tentacles. So the being had inherited some of the chaos version's traits, or was it he other around?

"Preparing to reclaim it thinks it rightfully his!" The Sun version said to Ragnar and he nodded.

"I expected as much. To think it would come to this. All these quadrillion years of working together, acting like family! For it to end like this, fate truly is cruel!" Ragnar said, if one looked closely they could see a small tear drop from his right eye. Not once did he cry while witnessing all those horrors, not once did he cry when being tortured, yet here he was, tears running down his cheek.

"He has arrived!" Sun said and Ragnar slowly stood up and said. "So it seems" he looked at the chaos version of him. A big, seven pairs of arms and six claws on each hand. A crown of horns with a giant eye looking at him. Those creepy eyes in a triangular structure with one in the middle of he eyes bigger than the rest. Those weird branches coming out of each arm, creating wings of twigs where ever one looked.

"It's time you return what is mine!" Chaos hissed and flexed itself, attempting to intimidate Ragnar.

"I won't try to change your mind dear friend of mine, but that doesn't mean I'll just give up on life!" Ragnar said, as he heavily took the first step forward.

In an instant he appeared in front of chaos and smacked him in the face. The impact didn't even make the being flinch, nor was it expected, the impact was for something else.

"Useless trick!" Chaos said, as it detached the part of the face Ragnar had slapped, a second later the removed face was consumed by darkness,

Chaos punched Ragnar in the stomach and made some distance between them. In seconds there was multiverses of space between them and it gave chaos enough time to concentrate on his imagination.

Thousands of birds made out of chaos flocked Ragnar as he was flying away from the impact. Each one of the birds flew against him, but instead of connecting with him and doing some damage they started to enter his body, leaving behind a weird nasty tattoo, which were moving quickly to connect with each other and completely cover Ragnar in chaos. But before they could, Ragnar let his powers run wild and evaporated. Dark purple light quickly flew towards Chaos, who seemed displeased.

"Stop using Nightwater, fight me with chaos!" He said, angry at Ragnar cheating.

"Now why the hell would I stop using my only advantage, if you want me to stop using Nightwater, we can always talk this out, instead of fighting." Ragnar said and launch a new attempt to hurt Chaos.

"Shut up, you have no right to act like you don't want to fight! I can feel your anger, your hate against me, Sun over there and everything. You detest yourself for being a Sun Dinosaur, well congratulations all of our kind does!" Chaos said and attacked Ragnar again.

Ragnar easily dispelled a beam of chaos attacking him and appeared next to chaos and trapped him inside Nightwater.

"I don't hate you and I'd never hurt you." Ragnar said, as he tried to contain Chaos inside the cocoon of Nightwater!

"I don't care, I still hate you!" Chaos said and bursted out of the Nightwater cocoon and slashed at Ragnar, who barley avoided it and stepped back. "You took everything from me!" He said and pursued the retreating Ragnar. Behind him was missiles of chaos being formed. "I'm Ragnar, I'm Ragnar, not Chaos version of Ragnar." He said and launched the missiles and moving behind him at the same time. A scythe of chaos was formed in Chaos hand and swiped down at Ragnar who barley avoided the scythe and ended up being hit by missiles.

"You took everything, I was supposed to be a happy little Ragnar who was born with the concept of chaos. Father would love me and mother would adore me. There friends would teach me to control my powers and I'd be happy!" Chaos said and slashed at Ragnar using the scythe and because they were in the imaginary space Ragnar's mind was injured.

Ragnar fell down to the grass field and a explosion ensued, as he hit the ground. Chaos followed him to the ground and his scythe launched down like a hammer, ready to smash Ragnar's face to pieces.

As Chaos scythe hit the ground and Ragnar narrowly avoided certain death he said. "Instead you took my place, you got the name Ragnar. Mother and father saw you and hated you. Somehow I who was supposed to be happy forever with my family had turned into a mere spectator, as someone else controlled my body. Mother and father hated you, they hated me. All because of you, it's all your fault they looked at me with such disgust!" Chaos screamed and exploded into chaos and enveloped the area in a thick hue of chaos, trying to seep its way into Ragnar's body.

"Now look what I have left! My parents hate me, so do their friends. My parents are dead and their friends hunt me, they hunt me. What did I do wrong, was it because I was born without control of my body. Was it wrong that I was robbed from the life I was supposed to have?!" Chaos voice sounded throughout its smoke like chaos hue of pure black.

The chaos condensed around Ragnar who was slightly injured and found it harder and harder to fight back.

"I didn't ask to be born! I didn't even know my father wanted me dead, until a while ago. Why do you blame me, blame fate, blame existence, time Cronus. Your cries, rage and sorrow are to heavy for my shoulders!" Ragnar said, and started to fight back with the same vigor as his enemy. Focusing all his hatred, all his sadness, all his regrets. They had pilled up so quickly under the time with the sock.

The two started fighting like barbarians and just fought using brute force only. Their element collided over and over again, fighting for superiority. Fueled only by their hatred and sadness.

"Just die, die, die diediediediedie!" Chaos screamed at Ragnar who was silently fighting back, pouring all his hatred to survive.

Their battle lasted for who knows how long, after a long time both Ragnar and Chaos faced each other in their base form again. Chaos seemed tired and so did Ragnar, both had exerted way to much energy and were on the brink of passing out. Yet their fight never stopped.

In Ragnar's hand was a sword, in chaos hand was a scythe. Both launched at each other over and over again, clashing their metals in a never ending battle. More and more injuries accumulated over time and both were about to pass out from either injuries or exhaustion. That's when Ragnar's sword managed to get through Chaos defense in a moment of carelessness from chaos, which resulted in one less arm. With only one arm Chaos was quickly overwhelmed and Ragnar gained the upper hand. But chaos didn't want to give up and continue to throw attack after attack at Ragnar and in return Ragnar ruthlessly attacked Chaos each time he swung his scythe. Chaos lost his second arm and only had twelve left. Quickly more and more arms were cut off until he only had one arm, yet he fought back desperate to kill Ragnar and end it all. But Ragnar didn't relent and continued his onslaught.

In a last effort Chaos gathered all his strength and swung with everything he had at Ragnar. So Ragnar did the same and swung with everything he had, but he overestimated Chaos remaining power and cut right through Chaos last effort and cut him in two.

Ragnar fell on his knees, finally he could rest. Relief and sadness filled him as he crawled to the dying Chaos. He was to weak to stand again and would pass out any second. He would most likely fall into a deep slumber upon Chaos death.

As Ragnar approached Chaos slowly, Chaos arm stretched out to his and Ragnar grabbed it. Chaos coughed some times and laughed slightly before tears streamed down his face.

"I don't want to die, I just wanted to be loved! Was that to much to ask perhaps?" Chaos mumbled as life disappeared from his eyes and his lonely, painful life came to an end.

Ragnar grasped Chaos hand as he passed away and Sun appeared next to him.

"Is it the same for you? Did I rob you of your life, your body. Will I have to fight you too?" Ragnar said, as tears uncontrollably fell from his face, as he couldn't control his body, like he could his emotions.

"No, you won't have to fight me. It was worse for Chaos, you and me had some resemblance and I am part of your soul. But it was different for Chaos, he was an outsider in his own body. A spectator to his own life. The times you let him control the body and play around were the best in his life. He would brag and happily tell me about all the mischief he had caused while we were training!" Sun said as he too failed to keep his emotions hidden, as tears crept down his face and fell on the ground.

"Was his death really necessary Sun, because I don't feel like it was!" Ragnar said and Sun laid down as he couldn't sit with his body that comfortably.

"Long ago at birth chaos was here alone with one other being Ragnar. It was before you formed, when I was the controller of the body in a way. In his rage Chaos had trapped the other being here and never let him out no matter what! He made it so both couldn't exist at the same time. He trapped it inside his body. If Chaos was alive you would never be whole that's why he attacked you Ragnar! He couldn't live with the guilt, so he decided that in one way he would get rid of it. Either he died, or you did!" Sun said, as he reminisced about the past.

"Are you telling me that this being is free now?" Ragnar asked, as he couldn't believe what he was told.

"Yes, yes he is. The decision Chaos made back then couldn't be reversed and he's regreted it ever since we all became friends. Everyday it was eating away at him, so please Ragnar I ask you but one favor and I will never do anything to harm you and eternally disappear if you will it! Please don't hate Chaos for what he did!"
