Berserk Fanfiction: The Good old days,

Chapter 1 attack of Elfhime,

Guts and Casca stood alone looking deep at each other, "and your okay with this Guts?" Casca asked, " I only want what's best for you." He said as he leaned into kiss her,

When a scream cut them off. "What was that?" Casca cried, Guts was up and running, "COME ON!" He yelled "Wait for me!" Casca cried as Guts ran off into the white light,

Exiting the clearing Guts and Casca was shocked the Entire Witch City was under attack, building burned as Elves amd Witch's defended there homes. Morda amd a few other witches flew around only to be knocked down by a Unnamed lion apostle! " NEO-BAND OF THE HAWK DESTROY THESE HERITICS!" He roared. As minor Demons charged at them as a few bird like Demons ripped the witches apart. The three Archmages called to everyone, "RETURN TO THE GREAT HALL!" The archmages yelled.

The apostles ranged group looked back, "First volley Fire keep them from escaping!" The leader yelled as a volley of arrows is launched. Some of the fire arrows hit the tree p, lighting it on fire, "NO the children!" Archmage Gedfryn. Yelled as he hobbled inside only for the arch way to tumble behind him, "No!" Shrikie yelled but Guts held her back. "There's nothing we can do," he said when another voice was heard,

"COWARDS!" Guts turned and saw Casca standing panting, seething, " how Dare you, you Attack a Outlook village for no Reasion and Claim to be apart of the BAND OF THE HAWK!?" She yelled as she drew a sword she found on the ground from a dead soldier, "Take this from an Actual member YOU WILL NEVER BE 1/5th as good as the original Band of the hawk and how dare you disrespect the sacrifice we put down!" Casca roared, as she charged, as the lion commander took a heavy step infront of her,

Only for his head to be split open by The Dragonslayer. Guts heaved it over his shoulder, " you really messed up if you angered the Vice commander of the Hawks, amd with the leaders of the raiders force. Well let's just say, not even Griffith himself can stop this massacre." He said as he lost all attempts to contain his savagery, surprisingly the apostles faltered at this, "Guts are you sure?" Casca asked, "Go I really want to break this Armor in, maybe I may even be able to slay 1000 instead of a measly 100!" He roared as he actived the Berserker Armor, amd rushed forward,

Sherkie gasped "oh no!" She tried to run forward but Casca stopped her, "you can't," She said. " you don't understand Guts can't let that armor control him he will slowly lose his humanity." Sherkie said Casca and Sherkie locked eyes, and Casca huffed Understandings then "lovely affection" she had, Casca bent down, "you love him don't you?" Sherkie Blushed, "W-What n-no!" She said not making eye contact. Casca huffed "I see," She said standing up, "here's the first thing you have to learn about loving someone." Casca said walking away, as she stopped and turned, "beleave in them," She said, Sherkie looked over "but-" She was cut off by Casca, "listen, Guts carried me through the 100 year war with the band of the hawk, and on one of the worst nights, I went to battle, Guts defended me against 100 men while I ran to get backup, he's done the impossible, and I know he could do it. Again wither it's against magic, or even fate itself, but you! Have to believe." Casca said pointing to her poking her chest, Sherkie nodded dumbly unable to say anything, " alright get everyone you can and follow me to the safe area." She said Sherkie nodded as she looked over to the others to see them frozen in awe.

"Isidro come on." Sherkie said trying to pull him away as he gazed at Guts "Guts is...he's the...he's the one hundred man slayer!" He said awe, as he relized all this time he was traveling with his greatest role model. And he never said, and suddenly everything Guts had said to him came crashing down, as he took a deep breath, "let's go." He said "Oh so now you want to go!?"Sherkie yelled at him, he huffed, " no not away, but towards." He said as he pointed to the think of battle.

"Are you insane, Guts is fighing he wants us to run," Sherkie said, but Isidro shook his head, "no he's not fighting, he just causing an ample distraction." He said, making Casca's breath hitch,

Guts had to admit, unlike everyother time he wore the Berserker Armor alone, this time was different, he would normally enact a primal Rage, amd just swing at anything moving, with the vision only reflecting shadows, but here, he saw it anew, different clean crisp he could make out the minute details of Cascas face from the sparkling blue eyes to the frown that mended her cheeks together, the perfect women,

Guts Charged and cut apart more of the Army of the apostles, as the fighters of Guts allies charged, the Archers fired them only to find Guts had blocked them, He looked back making Sherkie stumble but instead of roaring and cutting them up he nods and charges. Casca smiles and Sherkie is shocked "look!" As the armor changes its face from the enlongated jaw, to a human skull. Casca smiles, "and that's The unbreaking will." She Said as she lead the others into the battle.

Guts despite not letting the demon win actually it felt dormant, but that didn't matter, all he cared was about swinging his sword, as it crushed another demon, ' I'm shocked you don't want to fight what are you tired?' Guts asked the beast in the suit. 'No. Much more than that, I'm letting you go, take heed human because this is the last act of kindness, and the first one in 500 years,' the demon hissed as he curled up, and slept.

Guts had lost all sense of time, he looked around behind him to see the area a wasteland of ashes, Guts panted, but he wasn't tired, as he slung the Dragonslayer over his back, amd walked. And walked. And walked.

Finally he came to a stop at the others, but it wasn't a pretty sight, as everyone was dead, in a massacre, Guts fell to his knees, not wanting to beleave it, he ripped off the helmet of the Berserker Armor, wishing to god it wasn't true. But I was Everyone, Casca, Sherkie, Farnice serpico heck even that stupid insect Puck, and at first possibly the first to die, was Isidro, Guts sighed "stupid kid." He huffs, as he gets up and lays Casca to rest, he walks over to the Main house to see one of the Archmages crawling over the ground, Guts looks to see a Behelit. But unlike the one He "owns" the one of Griffiths, this one looked to be of Solid gold. Guts picks it up as the Archmage looks at him, and gasps out,

"The egg...of...better...days..." he said as the air left his body and he died, Guts sighs as he looks at the Egg, 'can this really be true?' He thought as the Egg opened one eye. " can you save them, can you make it all so that this doesn't happen?" Guts asked. The Egg smiles and shuts it eye, before blasting white blinding guts, "ARGH!" He screams

[ Falconia (aka Griffith's Capital)]

Griffith stood on his tower looking out of his city and his people he now protects, suddenly Zodd steps before him bowing, "Lord Griffith, it seems order has been restored and a era of piece has come," zodd said Griffith looks out to see the bright light and the world tree on fire, he sighs and snaps a look back and slowly reached for his sword. "No." He said, Zodd looks up in suprise " there is still one more thing to do." He soad as he spun around and Cut at Zodd making him roar "WHAT IS THIS!?" He jumped back "YOU ARE THE HAWK OF LIGHT I TRUSTED YOU U SERVE YOU!" He yelled. "I SERVE AS LEADER OF THE BAND OF THE HAWK NOT SOME RAGTAG GROUP OF NO GOODERS!" Griffith yelled. As he leveled his sword. "We will settle this how we should've where we met in the dungeon OF THAT CASTLE!" Griffith roared as he lunged forward as Zodd leveled his arm up to parry the strike however the light around them blinded them as the world's timeline was deleated amd a new one would take its place.

[ astral realm: Profound Layer]

God hand Void looked around at god Hand Slan in shock, "THE TIMELINE NO!" He cried. As Ubik the flying jellyfish like apostles floated around screaming, "FEMTO! He betrayed us!" As everyone looked in panic, when a disomdodied voice boomed, ThIs Is What Happens When You Mess With My Domain!" The "voice of god" said. As everyone looked at each other, "but what have we done wrong?" They asked no answer, as void looked to Slan "prepare to-." He didnt finish as the world restarted.

[Unknown time: Tent]

A man opend his eyes and looked up to see a wooden pole dug into the ground, 'huh?' The man thought as he flipped up to reveal Guts, 'where am I?' He asked, he looks around and notices, he has two hands. "what?" He asked as small clips of the eclipse flashed in his eyes, he grit his teeth and grabbed his head and relized, his eyes was back to, as flashback hit of him losing his eye from his perspective. He shook his head to free them of these "memories." He grunted and went to stand up feeling his neck he felt a faint outline of the brand, but nothing significant.

suddenly the tent flap moved to reveal The Leader of the Band of the Hawk Griffith, in battle uniform only missing the helmet. And in his hands was a letter addressed to him, " oh your awake I was just about to..." Griffith looked at the letter "we're about to head out," he said tossing the note aside now as it was unimportant. "Out out where?" Guts asked, "another battle. We've been sent to seeing as Chuder is on the run." Griffith said ' so the one hundred year war.' He thought. "What happened? Why was I put here?" Guts asked,

Griffith seemed to smile. "Well you don't seem to remember much of anything what happened did you hit your head?" Griffith said with a smile before it dropped. "You defended Casca. Nearly took out half an army, 100 soldier's in a single night," Griffith said ' huh 100 man slayer.' "must've been one hell of a morale boost." Guts Said with a smerk. "Oh yea, they partied well into the night, and you slept. For four days." Griffith said "blimey," he gasped "oh yea. Didn't help you were scrambling to get off the stretcher to walk on your two feet." Griffith chuckled with Guts joining in, "so your heading out?" Guts asked, "yea just a small skirmish shouldn't be long." He said when Guts stood up, "then it will be half the time with me joining." He said with a smerk. Griffith was shocked but smerked nonetheless. As Guts turned to gather his gear, he lifted his sword ' it's lighter than I remember it.' He said " you coming?" Griffith asked Guts turned "um...yea I'll be ready in five minutes tops," Guts Said, Griffith huffed, "you got two max," he said as he strode out Guts smerked.

After putting on his battle gear he sighed, 'well let's see here we go.' He thought as he pushed forward.

Suddenly everyone was clapping as the tent flap parted in front and cheering the loudest was the Hawks raiders Guts own command unit, "YEA CAPTAIN!" One said, sitting on a barrel was Gaston his second in command giving him a toast, "killing one hundred people must've taken the wind out you huh?" Another asked, as Guts smerked. "I'd say, slept like a baby," he said with a smile as he walked past another and gave him a fist bump, and walked past ricket rubbing him on the head as he followed Griffith, Everyone of the Hawks raiders were shocked at his action, usually Guts was a hardass, 'do your shit now and don't bother me' or when in a good mood just an 'eh whatever' guy but not a chatty 'let's be firends kinda guy,' it kinda threw them for a loop, but happily they just went with it, "well what do you know maybe the times getting better already!" Gaston said leaning on his barrel " you think he'll give us practice off next?" One asked, " not a chance." Guts said making them turn, as they looked to see Guts looking at them, " get your gear ready we're going to combat," he said as he walked away,

Behind him cries of "yes sir!" And "got ya!" Were heard as the raiders got ready,

Five minutes later the five "leaders" within the Band of the Hawk were standing on a cliffface looking down over a Thudor wooden base , Griffith stood looking, as Guts stood on Griffith's left and Casca on his right, " So Griffith. What's the plan?" He asked. Griffith looked to Guts and the others, " the Band of the Hawk will be split into 2 groups, the main fighting force will consist of Me, Casca, and Corkis. And the there respective teams, will shoot straight at there front, Guts and his Raiders will sneak around the back side and flank them blocking off there escape. It is preferred if we take the weapons intact." Griffith said, Guts nodded, " return to your teams and inform them, we attack in 45 minutes," Griffith said as the commanders rode off,

Guts stood there as Griffith thumbed the Behelit, " Griffith." Guts Said making Griffith turn, "yes Guts?" He asked As Griffith looked at him, however Guts couldn't break eye contact with the Behelit. Finally guts spoke "...nothing See you onnthe other side." He said as he walked down the cliff. ' yea.' Griffith thought as he looked to the sun,

Later they stood down ready for the signal. Griffith drew his sword. "THE BAND OF THE HAWK CHARGE!" He yelled as the band of the hawk charged in, Guts and the raiders held back. " wait for the Tudor Defenders to respond to the raid before giving the word to move." Guts Said Gaston looked at Guts, "your not going to fight with us?" He asked Guts looked at Gaston, "think of this as a test," he said as he trotted off. Of course he would go into battle, without a doubt, he just wanted to make sure Gaston could lead the raiders on his own, as he flipped his sword around ' to damn light, I need my Dragonslayer,' he peeved, he just had to roll with it, as he heard Gaston yelled. "HAWKS RAIDERS WITH ME!" As the group of 50 or so Raiders charged down the hill but more quitely as to not stir attention away from the blunt force.

Unfortunately one of the rear guards looked up to see the battalion of horses. And screamed " ah ahhh AHHH!" He yelledhe was fortunately cut off by a knife, as Guts looked back to see Judeau right behind him, " I'm lucky your here Judeau or else this raid would've been ruined." He said, " maybe once we get back to base I can teach you how to throw some yourself." He said " no need I've already learnt from the best, I just need some." He said "well I have this extra belt, if you want some?" He asked handing a belt to Guts, "don't mind if I do." He said as they entered the camp which was empty due to the others fighting. Guts strapped the belt over his right shoulder like his Greatsword hilt, and what his futured past had as the famous 'Black swordsman.' He looked up " Gaston gather a group secure the weapons and plans, make sure they don't get burned!" Guts Said "right Andross, Lexi, Chandra, Donban, Douglas with me!" Gaston said as the called Raiders followed Gaston, Guts looked to the others, "Everyone else with me push up there rear!" He said as he charged, at the back of the enemy.

Griffith swung down on a Thudor Imperial Knight and looked up to see the raiders Charging lead by Guts, as he swung his sword beheading a row of 3 one handed, yet Guts seemed disappointed in the action as he jumped off the horse and implaled another knight and swung the guy around on his sword throwing him off into the crowd, as the rest of the raiders cut past the middle cutting the Thudor defense force in half, "what the hell is Guts doing!?" Casca asked shocked at his actions even Griffith was suprised, "Nevermind that, Swarm them!" Griffith yelled as he charged.

Guts grit his teeth. ' damn even though my mind is more use to a heavier sword, my arms aren't!' He toughtnas he jumped back and parried a strike to his back before forcing it down to the ground and dragging his blade up the blade and taking the attacking knights head in a two handed swing. Guts flew with his sword and landed impaling 3 more guys in the chest in one strike, 'what the hell!?' Thudor knights and even band of the hawk knights gasped " Guts is battling a lot more recklessly then before...almost angrily...what happened?' Griffith asked,

Guts ripped out his blade and cleared apart opponent after opponent, until no one stood. As Griffith was battling the base commander, as the knight was about to swing a blow to knock Griffith off his horse ( which Griffith would've parried and was about to do so) Guts sword blade impaled the guy and lifted him height in the air, as Guts held the sword one handed, he flicked the blade down making the body go flying, "area clear." He said Griffith nodded. "And the weapons and plans, " CAPTAN GUTS!" Gaston yelled carrying a create of swords. Guts smiled.

Later that day The band of the hawk celebrated it victory, as they cheered. Back at the base, in his tent, Guts was fixing his sword belt to hold the throwing knifes Judeau gave him, on the ground next to him was his sword, with the entire blade covered in firewood, tied. As he lifted them 'only 200lbs, half the weight' he thought as he lifted it effortlessly, "well condition training then' as he swung down with one hand "100 each" he said,

[ Band of the Hawk HQ: Campfire]

everyone looked around, as ricket looked up. "Hey where's Guts?" He asked, as Corkus laughed "pff what about him if he wants to spend time alone I say Let him!" He said as he slammed his drink, " but Guts was getting so use to us, he would talk and be best buds, but now after that." Ricket said looking down as he muttered about the night Guts slayed 100 men, and the events around it, suddenly Casca stood up, "commander Casca?" A few asked. As she walked off. Ricket looked up sadly thinking he offended her, "stay here Ricket I'm going to get Guts, I need to have a few words with him anyway's." She said

98...99...100!" Guts yelled as he swung his sword in his left hand he dropped the swod as his wrist burned, "gah! Damn!" He hissed as he rolled it back, "Guts." A voice said Guts turned around to see Casca standing there, "hello commander. What can I do for you?" He asked standing up. "You can tell me what the fuck happened." Casca said. "I don't understand." Guts asked. "Okay let me spell it out for you! You didn't lead your troops into battle, you broke off your duty's to battle with the enemy Griffith gave you a job to do. Damn it Guts you made progress for 3 years and now your back to square one!" She yelled when Guts turned and looked at her in pity.

" stay out of this, this is my business as the commander of the Hawks raiders." He said. " as the commander of the band of the hawk I want to know!" Casca yelled when suddenly another voice was heard. "Casca." She turned to see Griffith looking around, " May I talk to Guts for a bit." He said Casca took a deep breath and nodded, " we will finish this conversation later." She stomped off. Guts looked off. ' well shit.' He thought, as Griffith sat down, "Guts...what happened?" He asked.

"So many things. Too many for one lifetime." Guts Said, Griffith looked at Guts weirdly, "okay have you become a different person after you hit your head?" He asked. Guts chuckled " no in fact you could say I took the long way around," guts muttered and fortunately Griffith didn't hear him, " I'm sorry about the battle." Guts Said, " don't be, I must admit you kinda threw the plan into a loop, with the brash counter attack from the rear, but it still worked, I was just woundering what you were thinking." Griffith said, " you said I slept for a few days. And I was woundering, what if I didn't wake up, what if I was gone, and not because of something really happened, but just what if...the band of the hawk had become my firends, my allies. And I want to protect them as much as possible, and Gaston, and the raiders, I'm so harsh on them because I want them to succeed, to live past this war, even if I don't make it, I want them to, and I will do everything in my power to make sure there ready if I am to suddenly be unable to command. That's what that raid was about." Guts Said

Griffith nodded. "So your just like me. Wanting to protect them all, to guide them." Griffith said, Guts laughed " Griffith I think you forget, apart from me, most people are here to see you succeed in your dream, nothing more, and we will do what we can for it." Guts Said, Griffith looked up "and what about you what makes you different from the rest?" He said,

Guts looked up "all I want is a Brother in arms, a firend who I can really look and say, no matter what I will have there back and they will have mine, no matter what happen's, but it's just a Dream." Guts Said as he picked up his sword, "I'm done with training for today, so don't worry I'll be down there, and have fun." He said as he walked off to put his stuff away, as Griffith watched him go he thought, 'your wrong Guts, you think your dream is impossible...but it's already happened.' Griffith thought as he walked back to the camp,

Behind a tree Casca slid down, in shock, 'Guts was...afraid of dying. Afraid of losing everyone, how did that?' Casca thought before she remembered what state he was in when she found him after the night battle. Her eyes widened,

'Guts...why?'
