FRIENDS BEHIND THE SCENES Series: Chaos Overdrove Chapter 1: The Forbidden Awakening The battlefield was a graveyard of silence. Plumes of acrid smoke choked the air, rising from the jagged fissures where the earth had surrendered to the raw power of the clash. Checher: (Stepping out from behind a charred bush, his voice trembling) “Voltix…?” At the center of the crater, Voltix was slumped on one knee. His armor was cracked, his breathing ragged and shallow. He looked like a man at his absolute limit, but as he tilted his head up, a defiant spark remained. Voltix: (Smirking weakly through the grit) “…Still standing…” Across from him, the Shadow stood like an immovable monolith. The dark aura radiating from the figure seemed to swallow the very light around it, growing heavier with every passing second. Shadow: “You’re reaching your limit, Voltix. There is nothing left for you but the dark.” Checher: (Eyes widening as a cold shiver runs down his spine) “…What is that feeling…?” The atmosphere didn't just shift; it shattered. The expected purple haze of standard Chaos energy never came. Instead, the air began to hum with a low, vibrating frequency. Then came the color. Blue. A faint, ethereal sapphire glow began to flicker around Checher’s fingertips, dancing like ghost-fire. Checher: (Staring at his hands in disbelief) “W-what…?” Shadow: (Taking a sharp step back, his composure breaking) “…Impossible.” Voltix: (Looking over his shoulder, eyes blown wide) “Checher…?” The ground beneath them began to groan and tremble. Nearby trees groaned, their trunks bending away from Checher as if recoiling from a predator. Reality itself began to ripple like water. Shadow: “That energy… it shouldn't exist in this cycle.” Checher: (His voice now echoing with a strange, double-toned distortion) “…I… I don’t understand…” FLASH. A violent surge of pure blue Chaos energy exploded outward, a shockwave that flattened what remained of the forest. Voltix: “That’s not normal Chaos energy… it’s too pure!” Shadow: (Tensing his muscles, his voice dropping to a whisper) “That is Forbidden Chaos… the strongest frequency in existence. No one was ever supposed to awaken it.” Checher began to hover, his feet leaving the cracked earth. His eyes weren't glowing like a hero's—they were burning with a cold, unstable fire. Checher: (Electricity snapping around him) “…I didn't… mean to…” The energy spiked violently, the blue light turning blinding. Voltix: (Lunging forward, hand outstretched) “Checher—STOP!!” The screen of reality distorted into static. BOOM!!! [POST-CREDIT LEAK] Chapter 2 Reveal: "Forbidden Awakening" The smoke cleared to reveal a straight path of total annihilation. Checher remained suspended in the air, his voice now a deep, resonant boom that shook the very atoms of the air. Checher: “Release.” A massive beam of blue light tore through the horizon, engulfing the Shadow instantly. Shadow: (Screaming as he is swallowed by the light) “GHH—WHAT IS—?!” As the beam faded, Checher’s aura only grew more erratic. He was no longer the friend Voltix knew; he was a storm with no center. Voltix: (Standing up, his face hardening as he prepares for the impossible) “Checher… you’re losing control. If you won't stop… then I’ll stop you.”
