Chapter 1- You Should Just Elope
3rd Person POV

Luke and Percy bring the group to End's Gate. The prison which holds End back. The prison gate is not one a magnificence. Infact it was less a material thing and more a plain between galaxies.

A black endless box. Standing on the floor and looking downward you would think your in a free fall. The endless box only contains one thing. A red line of pure power cutting it in half. This is End's Gate.

The line seems harmless. It appears to into give the room an eerie red glow at first. But it can do so much more. One step over it or attempting to break someone out would result in a violent death. Their very soul eating away at their body until there is nothing left.

The Elite shudder simply at the power oozing from it.

"End!" Chaos shouts. Attempting to not cough up ichor. "End!" He calls again.

"What?" Asks an annoyed voice. End appears in a swirl of black his eyes closed in pure annoyance a cup in his hand. "We spoke no less than fifteen minutes ago. Can't an all powerful being enjoy a mocha latte in peace?"

"End!" Chaos calls again. End opens his eyes and drops his latte in shock. His younger brother stands perched between the infamous apprentices. A sword in his stomach.

"W-what?!" He sputters in shock. "I'm the only one allowed to kill you! What happened!?" He demands. End stares into his brothers eyes which are full of fear, confusion and betrayal.

"She's alive," Chaos manages.

"No," his older brother immeadiately denies. "Not possible. We watched her die."

"She's back."

"No," End repeats with a head shake of disbelief. Chaos pulls himself off of the two boys and takes a step toward the power which separates him from his brother.

"We both felt the uneasiness of the universe. This blade? We designed it. Who else could it be?"

End is silent for a moment before looking at his younger brother. His eyes turn red with anger. "No this is sick joke! Why would she!? She was always the better of the three!"

"I don't know," Chaos admits softly. "But I heard her. She spoke to me... She stabbed me... Something is wrong. I need your help..." Chaos crouches wincing as he does. The Elite take a step forward but he puts a hand up and they stop. He places a hand above the red power and begins to chant. He chants in a language so ancient even the Elite seem confused as to what he is saying.

The powerful red line begins to turn a dull color. End looks at Chaos disbelievingly before taking a step over it.

"What are you doing?!" Luke shouts realizing what is happening. "He tried to kill us all! He tried to kill you!"

"He did," Chaos says standing, before leaning on his brother for support. "But unless my memory fails me 1,200 years ago you led an army to take over the world, Omega. 200 years ago Riptide did the same." Luke's mouth opens like a fish while Percy looks down. Zoë and Thalia place a hand on the boys shoulders.

"Bring us to the palace," Chaos orders. Luke wants to say what a terrible idea it is but, Chaos's words stung. He had been wrong and only resented his father. He glances at Percy, the younger boy hadn't even known what was going on at the time. Both boys nod and teleport everyone to the infirmary in Chaos's palace.

End helps his brother to a bed and he along with Calypso work to remove the sword. Calypso keeping the blood to a minimum while End runs a finger across the bade severing it, to make it easier to extract.

No one speaks for the longest time.

"I'm sorry about the wedding," Chaos says finally.

"You were stabbed. I'm pretty sure that's more important," Zoë says taking a moonlace flower out of her hair. "Marriage can wait. We wouldn't have a universe without you."

"You should just elope," Leo comments. He is quickly hushed, before Silena can once again shout about the importance of a proper wedding.

"Not exactly..." Chaos says softly.

"What is that supposed to mean?" Nico questions.

Chaos opens his mouth to speak but instead bites his tongue to keep himself from crying out in pain. Calypso sends pulses of energy to the wound as End slowly and painfully pulls out the sword hilt.

The Elite look down. None wanting to see their mentor and father figure in this much pain. Twenty painful minutes later the sword is fully removed. Calypso begins to close the wound. End wipes the ichor off the sword. He reattaches the two pieces and spins it in his hand once.

"It's a fake..." He mutters examining. "Why would she have a fake?"

"Because the original would kill Oas quickly don't you think D? And where's the fun in that?" A young girls voice giggles. All able point their weapons in the direction of the voice.

"Ooooo. Pointy," Percy says with a smile. His eyes are glazed over. And his voice sounds like that of an eight year old girls.

"He's possessed," Bianca gasps.

"How?" Chaos croaks.

"Has it been so long that you've forgotten? I exist and what the two of you created. Like this boy! He has powers from both of you. He's... An okay host," the voice says with distaste as they examine Percy's body. Percy- not Percy places hands on his- her hips and scowls.

"You both pick a boy as your apprentice... How sexist is that?! There are a bunch of girls right there!"

For a moment no one speaks confused for a moment before End regains his bearings. He points the mysterious sword at Percy.

"Why are you doing this!?"

"Why do you two fight?" Is the answer. The voices grow cold. "I died to try and save you both. You both killed me! And I sense you two fought not long ago. I have been gaining power for millennias... Today you both visited me. That was the last piece of power I needed to take a form. I'm not strong as I was yet. But I will be. I will tear this universe to pieces to rebuild it into what it once was before you two corrupted it. While you two need each other to exist I need no one. The throne was mine to begin with. I-" the girl is cut off from her rant as Percy's eyes flicker and he begins to cough up blood.

"This host isn't as strong as I had thought... I'll see you soon." The glazed look slowly melts away from Percy's face and collapses on to Ethan who stands next to him. Ethan with the help of Jason place him in another bed.

"Who was that? And what just happened?!" Thalia shouts.

"Perhaps it would be better if we showed you... End suggests still shaken with a look toward Chaos. Chaos nods once.

"In the morning."

"I still can't believe... She was good... I am bad... You are the middle..."

Sensing this is not something to listen in on the Elite teleport themselves back to Flerea to announce things are okay.

"She's right though." Chaos says softly as End sits next to him on the bed. "We did this to her."

"I know," End answers staring down at his younger brother. "Trust me Oas, I know."

"I can barely bring myself to visit her D... How are we supposed to fight her?"

"I don't know."

"Maybe there is someway to appease her?"

"I don't know."

"What do you know?"

"For her to regain control, she'll have to tear down the whole universe piece by piece."

Both wince as a flash of pain hits them. It quickly dies down.

A blue skinned girl appears in a shimmering light infront of Chaos's face. "Sir! I have no idea what happened but Repi of the Gelani Galaxy has begun to implode!" The girl shouts fear evident on her face. Screams and crying rings. Throughout the background.

"Evacuate to Ledok immeadiately. The Ledi are a caring people." The girl nods and the connection disappears. The room falls silent. The only sound is the steady breathing from Riptide a few beds over.

"There is something else I know," End states. "It's already begun."
