War of warriors
Written by Anthony Price
Earth is not the only planet that supports life, there is planet far away and in a distant time where the inhabitants are not so different from our own, except for they fact that they have powers beyond our knowledge and understanding. But with great power comes great responsibility, only then can peace be kept. The entire world rained with chaos, each country at war with each other.
The war has all they have ever known, since before Yochinn, Narim, Ajein, Melay and Josi were born the war had raged on. But now it is time for a change, a new beginning, the war needs to end. This is the story of four warriors who can control the elements, overcoming a nightmare they never thought possible. Will they all be able to leave with even their lives……?
Chapter 1 – The battle
Thump, thump, thump as the earth warriors marched in time towards the unsuspecting air city of mantra. There boots kicking up the perfectly laid soil. The earth trains moved silently beside them except for the occasional clunk of the earth warriors inside pushing the ground with their heavy feet. A loud droning gong suddenly rung from inside mantra and the earth warriors picked up pace. A few air warriors started to appear on the front wall which was made entirely of wood planks, their white and purple clothes radiating like the sun. The earth warriors moved a few more steps then stoped about 100 metres from the wall. Amongst them a young earth warrior of 14 stood fidgeting. He had trained for years to learn how to move the earth element, but this was his first battle.
"Don't worry Yochinn dear, you'll be fine, make me proud" his mother had said whilst ironing his green and brown war uniform. He had never met his father, he was told that he left for war when he was a child and never returned. It didn't bother Yochinn too much though he couldn't remember him so he didn't know what he was missing out on.
A second horn sounded, from inside the earth army, and the warriors got into their stance.
"FIRE" yelled the general. The front row stomped the ground with their left foot levitating a boulder in front of them then kicked it with their right foot sending it flying through the air. Yochinn watched as the huge rocks sailed silently though the air until CRASH, CRASH, CRASH the boulders hit the wall smashing immediately and sending a big puff of dirt into the air. The first row stepped to the left and moved to the back just before he heard.
"FIRE" the general barked again. The second row copied the first row until.
"FIRE" the third row attacked.
"FIRE" the fourth row. The fifth row stepped forward, Yochinn's row. The general was about to shout his command when Yochinn noticed that there were no air warriors on the wall. A shadow passed over him; he looked up to see thousands of air warriors on their gliders flying above.
"ABOVE, THEIR ABOVE US" someone shouted.
"SCATTER, WE"LL BE HARDER TO HIT" screamed the general in his husky voice. The army didn't hesitate, warriors ran in every direction knocking Yochinn about like a rag doll. A whoosh of sound rang past his ear as a blade of clear air came crashing down on a fleeing earth warrior right in front of him crushing him easily. Yochinn stood frozen; again he heard the whoosh as it crashed on another warrior to his right.
He ran for it dogging the blades as the crashed near him. Several times he had to shield himself with an earth block to protect himself. He dogged another when he realised he had to fight back. He turned around and shot three rocks at a flying air warrior. He was quick and precise but the air warriors were faster and he missed by an inch. Again he attacked, again and again and again missing each time. He was getting tired just one I have to get one he thought he brought up a rock and shot as fast as he could. It pummelled right into the chest of a diving air warrior who fell to the ground with a soft thud.
"YES" he shouted as he ran towards the man. He immediately trapped him with in an earth cage before he heard the general yell words from afar.
"RETREAT EARTHWARRIORS, FALL BACK". I'm not leaving my prize, thought Yochinn, so he handcuffed the fallen man and slung his unconscious body over his left shoulder and took him with him to bass camp.
