MASTER OF CHAOS

The blue spidery bursts of electricity that rippled around his fingers made Chaos feel….powerful. Yes. That was a good term; powerful. The pudgy little puppy felt powerful. The suit, the gloves, and the goggles all provided a sense of presence, but the pseudo bursts of thunder that flickered from his fingertips, made him feel like a God.

He flexed his fingertips, and squealed in silent delight at the prospect of blasting Haste with a shot of lightning. Or Rocket…or if it came down to it- Meeper, (Although he already knew the guilt welling up in his guts from the thought of zapping little Meeper was enough to dissuade him from the act) Still, he tingled with anticipation- or the electricity and static swirling around him. He wasn’t sure.

“You’ve turned yourself into a walking bug zapper. Well I guess the next cookout is covered.” A voice trickled through the lab that burned the boy’s ears. Chaos gave a defeated sigh and turned to face his sarcastic nemesis; a tall, purple furred girl, leaning against the doors of the lab with blood red bows dangling from her ears. Pandora.

“Giant electric gloves? Have we been watching old Wile E. Coyote shorts again?” Pandora asked quietly, with a sinister chuckle. Chaos remained silent, fingertips twitching ominously. With a flourish only a puppy wearing giant electric gloves could give, he brandished his new weaponry and lightning crackled from the backpack on his shoulders.

“THESE are my new “Statik Touch 5000! 5000 bolts of static energy at my fingertips, which will flash fry a running bird in an instant! With only a minuscule 96 hour battery charge time, they are my latest creation in bird-catchology!” The proud puppy boasted. Pandora stared.

“Bird-Catchology. …Wow. Ok, Hey, quick question, Lucy. How do you turn it on?” Pan quipped- a sinister grin stretching across her muzzle. Chaos frowned, and pointed to a small button on the underside of one of his forearms.

“Alrighty. How do you turn it off?” She asked. Chaos rolled his eyes and pointed to the same button. Duh.

“Show me. “ Pan giggled. Chaos gave a snort, reaching over to switch the gloves off, and frozen when he realized exactly what she was getting at. It hit him like a ton of bricks. He had no way to turn off the gloves without electrocuting himself. Pandora’s wicked smile grew wider.

“Genius! Brilliant! YOU ARE THE INVENTOR OF OUR TIME! WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH!” The elder coyote giggled wildly. Chaos’ ears wilted to either side of his head. Insult to injury. He’d worked so very very hard on these too.

“What a moron! What an idiot! What a ‘geeeenius’ “She giggled. Chaos sniffled quietly, and shook the tears out of his eyes, ears folded back sadly.

“W, why are you always so mean to me…y, you know how hard I tried with these? I spent weeks, and they work, and they’re perfect, and y, you just…you come and tear them apart in seconds! Yo, you just…I …I tried so hard…”The boy squeaked, and this time couldn’t stop the sniffles and the few drops of sorrow that trickled from his eyes. Pan bit at her lower lip and winced quietly. She didn’t mean to strike out at her brother that hard. She was mean, sure but she didn’t think he’d cry. She didn’t-

“How about a hug?!” Chaos barked suddenly, and lunged at his sister, wrapping his arms around her with a satisfying SIZZLE, that reduced Pandora to a charred heap of ashes and two blinking eyeballs.

Chaos burst into laughed giggling wildly. He got her! He FINALLY got her! Months of work and research, months of sweat, blood, and tears, and he FINALLY got the better of his older sister!

“I, GOT, YOU! I FINALLY GOT YOU! WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I was waiting for SO long to finally get my revenge! I wait, SO long for this, and you fell for it! HOOK, LINE, and –SHOCKER! BWAHAHAHAHAHA” Chaos giggled wildly, slapping at his knee- and bursting into a pile of charred ashes and a pair of eyeballs.

They stared at each other.

“…MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!”
