In Chronicle 13 Volume 1, the scene has shifted to a very disturbing 10 year old called Master Chillingsworth, who has the most bizarre yet macabre hobbies. What changed this once sweet and innocent little boy into the beast he has become? So disturbing were his hobbies that he was arrested by the police. This finally caught the attention of his parents that these 'hobbies' of his were not merely growing pains that their son was experiencing. But rather something else that was dark and foreboding. They immediately whisked him away to military school, but is it too late?

Chronicle 14 volume 1, Chillingsworth grows up but somehow this awkward genius has changed into that menacing character he once was in his youth. But this time his gruesome hobbies have been fine tuned into a weapon that can alter life as we know it. He seems to be on a path of destruction, and not even his parent can stop him this time.

Chronicle 15 Volume 1, unlike Chillingsworth with his gruesome ideas and an even more grotesque creation, another character has arose amidst this ongoing saga and he proves to be the most ideal nemesis for Chillingsworth. He is definitely not on board with Chillingsworth ideologies, therefore Honorable Judge Nilsson plays by his own rules which are unorthodox and they get the job done. It is this unpredictable behavior that keeps Chillingsworth on his toes. Nevertheless this just slows Chillingsworth down, a little, not stops him. Chillingsworth is a very persuasive character and soon he has the right people on board with his fanatical plans. Nilsson too must create his own 'board' or rather a committee of Chillingsworth's adversaries. Not everyone wants a world leader, especially one with the likes of Chillingsworth. Nilsson realizes that he needs to meet fire with fire but the conventional 'fire' is unable to put this maniac's 'fire' out. Nilsson will have to seek answers and advice from undocumented sources in order to stay well beyond the tentacles of Chillingsworth's reach.

Chronicle 16 Volume 1, Chillingsworth achieves his greatest victory to become world leader. But Nilsson achieves his greatest victory too, to become Senior Judge in the world court, which makes him untouchable. As annoying as this is to Chillingsworth, he does not stop his plans to continue stomping out the rebels and to claim as many leadership positions as possible, feeding his lust for ultimate power and control. On the other hand, Nilsson proves to be the worthy arch-nemesis that on a number of occasions, was able to thwart and even hinder Chillingsworth's plans. But there is something afoot. An unsuspecting turn of events that will rock the very foundation of the brilliant Dr. Nilsson. Will he be able to recover and resume his attack on Chillinsworth?

Chronicle 17 Volume 1, although Dr. Nilsson was temporarily set back by certain turn of events, he was able to re-assess and continue his assault on Chillingsworth and his world domination. As Chillingsworth's empire grows, so has Nilsson's opposing empire which is growing, simultaneously. Both now are devising ways of taking the other down even with collateral damage which is deemed necessary. However, despite this ongoing rivalry between these two foes, there is a third enemy rising in the ranks.

These five Chronicles, Chronicles 13 through Chronicles 17 in Volume 1 are a lovely set together totaling 115 pages of nonstop action and excitement. The Alien Entity seems distant in the first few Chronicles, but not for long. It is making its presence felt and soon earth will have a much bigger problem than Chillingsworth to deal with.
