Sora waited with his friends at the front gate, everyone waited in fear as they watched the door. The door moved as if something massive ran into it, "boom" again. The men with spears went in front ready for whatever laid beyond the gate. "Boom" it rang even louder, then after a few long seconds a final blow to the gate opened and broke the locks.
A high pitched screams rang through the ears of all the people in the stronghold. To quick were the movements of the enemy to completely see them. Black blurs they seemed like as they clashed against and through the spears. Before long the men were attacking the creatures as the woman and children ran into safety.
Sora didn't think of what to do, his body moved forward and struck at the dark enemy. They were liquid black about 5 feet tall, they all had eerie yellow eyes. They were quick and bore no weapons but there claws. Sora swung down using the momentum of his body to increase the power of his strike on the enemy. He successfully sliced open one of the creatures, black ooze flew in the air as the blade cut through.
Riku who was a few feet away from him skillfully blocked an enemy attack to his face with his weapon and kicked the enemy in the chest away from him. He charged forward and horizontally slashed at the Black creature. An enemy jumped towards him in his blind spot and it looked liked it would successfully hit him. But before it could reach Riku a huge Axe swiped and sliced the enemy a few feet away from Riku. Aries yelled a valiant war cry as he killed the creature.
"Thanks for saving my ass there.' Noted Riku gratefully, his attention was still occupied by the mysterious black creatures. Aries nodded at him and ran to fight a group of the creatures as did Riku. Sora wanted to help his friends who were just 16 feet away from him but he was dealing with a few of these black creatures.
There were too many to calculate how he would get through, if it was 4 he could definitely get through but there were dozens of them pushing him back, away from his friends. Frustration and fear was engulfing his mind as his friends moved farther away from him fighting off there own enemies. He wanted to reach them to make sure they were safe.
As Sora hacked, slashed and skillfully dodging his enemies' attacks, he was slowly but surely tiring. It seemed he was making no progress to reach his friends. But as he was about to give up a few of the men that were fighting behind him aided his goal. Together he and the men fought back the massive group of creatures. Awhile after continuously killing the group of black creatures Sora saw an opening to his friends and took it.
He dashed forward towards Riku and Aries, he slided underneath Aries's weapon as Aries sliced an enemy. As Sora slided underneath the weapon his stabbed a live enemy that was behind the defeated creature Aries killed. Now together Sora, Aries, and Riku fought back there countless number of enemies. There skills were inspiring and gave the other men hope in surviving this day.
As the three fought, they found there way to the second level of the small fortress. They fought there way up and the archers followed them to get to the edge so they could bombard on the enemy from the outside. And as they fought the three found themselves surrounded by the enemy. For a quick second, the three all smirked.
The enemy stocked them and moved around them, snarling and hissing at the three. Sora leaned on his knee and stabbed forward on one of the dark creatures, as another jumped over its defeated comrade and swiped its claw at Sora, but before it could Aries swung his axe over Sora's head and demolished the creature. Riku hurled himself over Aries's axe, which then he landed on and stabbed another of the black creatures that attacked them.
The three timed there attacks almost perfectly, as Riku leaned forward stabbed at an enemy Sora rolled on Riku's back quickly and stabbed at an incoming enemy. Instinctually Riku and Sora took a knee and Aries swung his axe over there heads and completely demolished five of the creatures.
As the creatures were occupied with the three, the archers each grabbed an arrow and all aimed and readied themselves to shoot down the enemy that was attacking. Sora, Riku and Aries noticed this and dove out of the range of the archers and away from the creatures. The creatures begun to run after the three but were stopped as arrows pierced there bodies.
The whole lot of the creatures on the second level were killed, and the archers took there positions on the edge and begun to bombard the enemy outside with there arrows. The three, guarded the stairs to the second level to protect there valuable archers.
"How's it look over there!?" yelled Sora to the archers.
" About a hundred sir." Yelled one of the occupied archers.
"THAT MUCH!?" Yelled Riku, who spit on the ground.
"I'm afraid so." Yelled back another archer. Riku was about to protest until more of the creatures were heading up the stairs to them. One dove at Sora but he skillfully rushed forward and cut clean the creatures head off. Riku and Aries were fighting them off with just as much skill.
"Guys I don't know how long I can… take this shit..! Yelled Riku, who was being attacked by a few of the creatures.
"I know what you mean, I can barely lift my Axe bro…" noted Aries as his struggled against an attacker.
As they fought someone was watching them from the lookout tower. A figure cloaked in a dark outfit looked upon the boys from the wooden lookout. Only his mouth was visible and so was his smile. "Things don't look as grim I thought… Smirked the mysterious onlooker. He turned around and looked out towards the darkest of the storm clouds. In the Sky a giant gate like door about a continents size emerged facing down on the world. Darkness seeping through the cracks of "The Door".
"So… the door isn't open, just cracked… hmmm… Keys… open doors. He whispered to himself. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a piece of old paper with unique writing on it. On it looked as if the words were scrambled up. On it two words that were freshly made stuck out in black ink. "Keys open doors". " The three. " The colossus" Him" The Light Kingdom" Last haven.
As the boys almost fell to there knees in exhaustion, they noticed there were no more enemies attacking them. They soon later heard cheering from the lower level. The archers cheered as well. But before everyone could completely celebrate they heard a huge low eerie noise. It sounded like a cry of something big, a roar of some sort. The boys froze as a huge shadow engulfed the whole fortress.
They all turned around and all of them went pale. A huge monster was standing before them. Standing on two legs, with strong arms and broad shoulders. Its face was tangled in what it looked black vines, only leaving its yellow eyes to see. It was missing a big portion of its chest, the missing piece was shaped as a sharp evil looking heart. It was obvious it was related to the smaller being considering of the eyes and its black skin.
It stared down on the fortress with no emotion, after a few agonizing seconds someone yelled. The monster slammed its giant fist down on the north wall and completely destroyed it, the debris flew everywhere, the three found cover. Heavy chunks of brick hit the ground around them, smashing into men and other structures. The boys got out of there safe place as the rest of the debris stopped falling.
They each stared into the large behemoths yellow eyes. The beast seemed to be starring back.
