Operation: Absolute Chaos - Chapter 18

Alex's POV

I stared at the misty tornado descending from the sky. I looked at the seal again, and started to think of a plan. This was a seal, so couldn't I use it to put Chaos to sleep temporarily? But how would I activate that? Stuart would know, but he's not here...

Suddenly a figure clouded in dark fiery energy appeared on the ground in front of us. I couldn't recognize any of its body, but I knew it was Chaos.

Next thing I knew, the same red energy lashed out at us, but it was ten times more powerful than before. I held out my arm again, succcessfully blocking the energy.

I was instantly writhing on the ground, screaming in agony. I felt as if needles had punctured my arm multiple times, lit on fire, and were shaking violently, cutting open my skin. Tears poured out of my eyes in the midst of all the pain.

JJ had managed to evade a second burst of energy, and blocked a third with some plants. I avoided the thought of what would happen if was subdued also.

I stared at the gigantic seal, trying to figure out a way to open it. I placed my hand on the top and said, "Um... open?"

Nothing.

"Please?"

Suddenly there was a burst of scarlet light as the seal opened up like a flower, the stone pieces moving out ward and up. I nervously glanced at Chaos, who was sending wave upon waves of dark energy throughout the murky jungle, trying to hit JJ.

I looked inside the apparent box, and inside was a single fire-red poppy flower. I tenderly grabbed it and wondered how the hell this made people fall asleep. Suddenly my alertness sped up, and felt energy course through my veins, like I'd drinkin a five hour energy.

I heard a stifled scream as JJ was hit square in the chest by a blast of energy. I pointed the tip of the flower at Chaos, and then there was another flash of scarlet light.

Chaos collapsed, and was suddenly sucked back into the tornado. There was a burst of wind as the power of the funnel sucked me, JJ, and the seal's box towards it.

As we got closer, I noticed that it was a portal like tornado. As I htought of places in the world, they appeared inside the tornado. I imagined our base, and an overview image of it from the sky came in to view.

And then, we were teleported back to our home base.
