Josh versus chaos

As Josh and chaos stood across from each other, two dozen meters apart. They stood there watching each other. Waiting to see if the other would move first. Josh was also using this opportunity to restore as much power as possible and finish healing. As he finished healing he reactivated his speed and strength powers. Both at the level of six . At that exact moment chaos bolted forward.

Upon reaching Josh, he threw out a punch. but Josh had already started jumping back, completely avoiding the punch.

Josh then jumped forward with a kick. however chaos grabbed his ankle, and swung his body over, slamming it into the ground. Josh let out a Yelp of pain and tried to break free. But still gripping his ankle chaos pulled him up, upside down and hit him in the stomach. sending him flying back a dozen meters.

Josh rolled and then as he came to a stop he quickly stood up. But chaos was already there with a kick to his chest, sending him through a tree destroying the tree in the process.

Chaos slowly started to walk up to Josh. Josh stumbled a few times but finally got to his feet and chaos spoke. " You think you're strong. But you know nothing. This is just the beginning."

Josh knew he had to do more. Using his other powers he boosted the speed and strength power to level seven. "You're right this is just the beginning" Josh said, bolting Forward. Landing a direct punch in Chaos's gut. But as chaos began to slide back, Josh grabbed his hand and went to pull him in for another punch. Chaos was ready this time and he pulled free of Josh's hand and jumped back just in time.

"Neat trick it won't happen again" chaos said then went to jump forward with a strong hook.

"Well see about that " Josh said as he blocked Chaos's punch.

They went back and forth blocking each other's strikes. Josh was stalling. At this time he was examining the new power he had received. He could tell one was controlling metal at level four. And the other was Chaos's power. He could not understand it it was unlike any of his other powers.

It was a dark red ball constantly swirling and sending out little flares like the sun. Josh could tell it was very strong. It was at the level of nine. Josh could not wield it efficiently. so he decided to use its power to fuel his speed and strength boosting them both to level eight plus.

As Josh began to strike faster and stronger. he was landing hits on chaos. And soon it started to take its toll and chaos began to slow down. When it looked like Josh was going to deal the finishing blow, chaos began to Glow dark Red and he jumped back making it over twenty meters. Josh's strike hit nothing but air.

"You think you won don't you?" chaos asked Josh.

"I'm pretty sure but I'm not positive." Josh responded. chaos began to laugh maniacally. And the gemstone on his head began to Glow brighter. Glowing red Lines begin to go down his face, from the gemstone. His right eye had completely changed with several red rings circling his pupil. His arm began to change as dark red scales begin to pop out, turning it into something reptilian looking.

Josh could not waste any time he knew this was bad. He dropped his speed and strength power. And activated the fire power. Boosting it with all his other powers which caused it to reach level nine plus. He was going to do the same thing he did against the prisoner. except this time on purpose. He knew this was his only chance.

Putting his hands together he began to create a fireball and condensed it down to the tightest fire energy he could, pouring the majority of his power into it. Chaos kept laughing not even paying attention to Josh. Which gave Josh the perfect opportunity. He launched the exploding fireball. It went fast extremely fast reaching chaos in a second. When he noticed it, it was too late he was only able to get his half evolved arm half up.

As the fire energy ball hit, it exploded. This time covering fifty meters in every direction even burning Josh slightly.

Josh layed on the ground for some time. He wasn't sure how long. it was dark when he relized. He now had enough energy to get up, he was fully healed by this point. But not all of his energy had returned. He believed it was because he now had even more power, it would take longer to fill without him concentrating on refilling power alone.

As he got up he noticed chaos. He was still alive.josh was Unable to breathe for a moment. That was until he saw the condition chaos was in. He was missing his right arm. His entire body was burnt and his energy was embers. Josh would have enough time to make his escape. However he was afraid more lackeys would come. So he quickly gathered his boat and everything he would need to repair it. Then using his earth power, he created a dome of Earth around him. Then sent the dome of Earth underground hiding him.

He would rest here underground for a while. Possibly train with his new powers, or at least try to understand them better. And then he would fix the boat.

Josh rested for a few hours. Once he was back to a hundred percent in every aspect, he used his earth power to create a much bigger dome underground. Now he would have the perfect conditions to train. But before that he fixed his flying boat and then he began to practice.

He spent a total of two days just practicing, and experimenting with the new power. He decided to call it chaos energy. Because that's pretty much what it was, chaotic energy. He learned many things about it. Mainly he could not use it in the same way as chaos. He believes that is because chaos has a special evolution of the power, one that you need that gemstone to achieve.

Josh wondered if he had touched the gemstone if he would have copied that as well. He believed chaos was still alive so he could try in the future. But he wanted to get much stronger first. He believes chaos would have won if Josh's final attack had not worked. But that's not to dwell on the past. He would get even stronger. He only spent a little more time after that, practicing with the new metal control power. He realized with this new power, he can craft any weapon he wanted to. And then use a monster crystal to empower it after. "Each power was a new tool in my tool belt. " He laughed at that thought.

He's then decided to head back up. Making the dome smaller just surrounding him in the boat he sent himself up reaching the fresh air Josh took a deep breath and thought" finally it was getting stuffy down there" then looking at his surroundings he was, where he was before going under ground.

He could tell the forest was trying to heal from his blast. Many trees, bushes and flowers were killed. A disheartening thought. He decided to not continue torturing himself. He activated his purple eyes to locate chaos. Once seeing where he was, and that his energy was mostly back to normal he hopped in his flying boat and went in the other direction flying off. Much higher than before so hopefully he would not be seen.

Flying across the sky he decided he would stick to finding monsters instead of powered people for now. Not only could he also get power for monsters, he could also get their Stone to create weapons. But what was the point if every time he needed them he was unable to use them. Smacking himself he decided while he was flying he would create a holster for his back, for the great sword and two holsters for the short swords on his side. And he would just keep his shield strapped on his arm. This way he wouldn't be caught lacking again.

Soaring through the sky. Josh had crossed into Ohio. he decided it was a good time to take a look. Activating his he saw over a dozen monsters scattered. Some of them being really close to a small town that had a cluster of people. He could see some Life energy flickering meaning they had injured. He wondered if the monsters were causing them problems.

This is a problem Josh has always had. If there were innocent in danger he would always step in no matter how hopeless it was. He felt like it was always the wrong choice because he failed often. But he's not the same person anymore. He had to at least do something even if he didn't want to.

Josh decided he would take out all the monsters he could in the area. He could use their Stones anyways. After all he wanted to create an armory of powered weapons.

As the boat began to descend Josh continued his thoughts. " This is what you would want me to do isn't it baby girl. You would want me to help these poor souls. I will do it for you"

Josh landed in a remote area in a small clearing. There were hills and mountains in many trees around. He picked this area for easy landing and take off. When she got out he enjoyed a quick cigarette and mountain dew. And ate some beef jerky since he had not eaten since leaving. He could go longer without food but he was starting to get hungry. this would do for now.

After eating he folded in the wings of his boat. He's in used his earth power to create a small Earth dome around the boat, and sunk it six feet underground. " Okay good nobody should be able to find it.

Looking around with his purple eyes Josh picked his first Target it was a group of four monsters, within range of village. He believed they all held the power of level four. And once Josh got closer he saw them. They do not look like any animal he had ever seen. It looks like little red goblins no taller than a meter and a half tall. They were all the same size. " I bet These little freaks have been giving them a lot of problems I'm guessing. Not only are they small they are strong.

Josh used his speed power on his brain and formulated a plan. Pulled both of his speed short swords out of the holsters. Then activated his metal control power and used it to hold them in the air at his side, following that he activated his strength power at level seven. He did not wish to burn through all his power on his first monster fight.

Pulling energy to his legs he jumped high in the air. At the same time he shot the speed swords straight into two of the red goblins heads, cutting the enemies numbers in half from the start. As Josh descended he was positioned against one of the remaining goblins. But before he could strike down with his greatsword the other remaining goblin saw him and with a very high speed he jumped towards Josh headbutting him away into a tree, then Josh fell to the ground.

The goblin Josh was aiming at began to run at Josh. But Josh anticipated this and already had one of the speed sorts positioned to run right through the goblin."one left" Josh thought right before another had put connected with his stomach sending him back into another tree. Staying on his feet he let go of the metal control power and activated the speed power at the same level as strength. And as the goblin neared just struck down with Force. Ending the the final of this group.
