The Seven Hokages boots crushed into the yellow stone of the End. First came Malladus the Demon, tall and broad, his long hair hung about him and his longsword in his hands. Next was Kronos the Titan, nine feet tall, his arms and legs like tree trunks. Third, was Hyperiate the Dark Light. Lightning crackled in her hand, and her long silver hair shone in the moonlight. The Fourth Hokage, Sonake the Yellow Flash, was the most menacing. He spat on the stone as he set foot on the End. A mighty sword hung at his waist. He smelt of blood. Fifth was his brother, Conner the Mind-Spark. He had a timid look about him, a fearful one, yet still clutched in his hand a sword. He didn't look like he wanted to use it. The final two Hokages were almost identical, Halai the Healer and Ketei the Flameborn, first cousins, Halai weilding a large axe, Ketei a bow and a quiver of fiery arrows. The Seven Hokages walked until they came to the village. Malladus nodded to the others. Ketei began the carnage; a flaming arrow set a building on fire. The fire spread and the Enderfolk fled their houses, only to be confronted by the Seven Hokages blocking their way. Malladus the Demon stepped forwards. "We are the Seven Hokages of the New Order. Death awaits you all; So flee - flee for your lives." He laughed as the Enderfolk started to shout and cry, and the Seven Hokages ran forward. Men, women and children were killed. The Hokages were unstoppable. Kronos knocked down while houses with one swipe of his arm. Ketei skewered Enderfolk with his flaming projectiles. Halai severed heads. Sonake killed with his bare hands when he could, and Malladus destroyed all with his longsword. Hyperiate blasted Enderfolk with white lightning, madness in her eyes.
The mindless killing made Conner feel queasy. He ran from the village to some rocks and hunkered down. He began to cry. Then he heard a roar, and raised his head. Purple thunder struck, and seven EnderLords landed with an almighty boom in the ruins of their village, Qarvus the Dragon behind them. The Six Hokages huddled together as the Leader of the EnderLords strode forwards. "What have you done …" said he, Lord Seneken.
"Where is Conner?", Sonake whispered.
The EnderLords surveyed the bloodshed as the Dragon began to weep "My people are dead, Lord Seneken." They drew their swords. The youngest of the EnderLords, Lord Nightblade, fell to his knees beside a dead kinsman. "I swear…. you will be avenged", he whispered, and suddenly launched himself at the Hokages, purple blade flashing. Sonake leapt into the air towards the dragon as the other EnderLords sprung into action. Nightblade landed on Malladus with such a force that he was knocked to the ground; but in a matter of seconds, Kronos had hauled him off and tossed him away. Sonake drew his sword and slashed at the dragon, only to be swept aside by its huge tail. He cursed as he was thrown to the floor. Halai threw his axe at Nightblade, who was back at Malladus' throat, but he swerved and the blade embedded itself into Malladus' arm. Malladus screamed as Nightblade grinned triumphantly. The EnderLord pulled back his arm, and fired a punch at Malladus' nose. Ketei shot at Lord Seneken, but the arrow bounced from his armour and flew towards Hyperiate's head. She turned it to dust with a crack of lightning before it came within a meter of her. She ran over to Sonake and helped him up. "My love, are you hurt ?"
"This dragon cannot harm me," he snarled, grabbing his sword and sprinting back towards the fight.
Hyperiate watched him go and blasted an EnderLord with lightning. Far behind her, Conner watched his brethren battle the EnderLords. Sonake was engaged in battle with the Supreme EnderLord, Lord Seneken, whilst Hyperiate fought Lord Karim. Halai and Ketei took on Lords Talos and Byrus. Malladus and Lord Nightblade were fistfighting on the floor, Malladus slowly bleeding to death. Kronos was trying to catch Lord Malcen. Lord Palacen was moving towards Qarvus, when suddenly he heard Seneken cry out. Sonake had plunged a spear into his heart. Palacen's mouth dropped open in shock as Sonake ran towards him, Seneken's body dropping to the ground. Palacen readied his sword and swung it at Sonake, but the Hokage jumped. Palacen spun around, only to receive Sonake's boot in his face. The EnderLord buckled. Sonake came face to face with Qarvus, the Dragon, once more. Qarvus swung his tail, but Sonake moved, and climbed on top of the almighty beast. It was then that he struck, bringing the spear down, through the Dragon's flesh. Nightblade saw this and cried out, freeing himself from Malladus' grip and running towards the Dragon, but Palacen grabbed him, and the two swiftly leapt away behind some crags. The Dragon wheezed. The Hokages rounded up the four EnderLords and forced them to kneel down in front of the dying beast. Malcen, Karim, Talos and Byrus remained calm. Malladus struggled to his feet, his arm dripping with blood. "Victory," he said to the Hokages, "Is ours." He limped over to Lord Karim and grabbed him by the neck. Without a single word, he threw the EnderLord over the cliff edge, and into the void.
