Chapter 3: The Plan's Success?

". . . . . . . . That blast, it must have been a bigger shock than I expected. I almost lost consciousness for a minute there. I'm glad my escape plan worked, but I don't know how to stop this thing." I had placed a few small explosives underneath a boulder facing the opposite direction having the blast lift me off and the major explosion sent me flying away from the blast. Now it looks like I might overshoot the enemy army, but that might be a good thing. I wouldn't be able to take on that many troops even if I tried.

"Curse these darn peasants, how they could have taken down half of our army with a plan like that is beyond me! Lord Dong Zhuo will have our heads if we cannot take this village!" Yelled the enemy commander "Our retreat is cut off, all we can do now is advance and kill any that cross our path, NOW ATTACK!"

"The enemy is moving towards us, everyone the time is now to take up your arms and advance. There power has been cut in half, now is the time, we must hold them off until he returns to launch the ambush and finish this!" The leader rallied the villagers and the two forces began to march out to clash on the battlefield.

"Sir, there is some weird object coming this way from the sky." "Don't bother me with such petty information, just eliminate those villagers!" "But sir…?" "That is an order, we've had enough distractions, if you don't advance I'll kill you myself, Understand!"

"Chief, there is something heading this way for the mountain." The village men looked up into the sky to see a boulder flying towards them. On top of the boulder was a young person, with his swords glistening in the sunlight. "It's him, I don't believe it, that kid has the luck of the world on his side to survive something like that." "If he can survive that then we will win this battle, let's go!"

"Well now that was one hell of a ride, hah ha. Let's see, I'll reach the front line in about 30 seconds, so if I'm going to do something with this rock, now's my only chance." What can I do with this, come on think . . . . . . That's it! "Alright, I hope this works." I began to lower the rock downwards into the back of the Dong forces, until I was directly behind them still descending. "I hope you traitorous fools are ready for your retribution!"

"Where did the kid come from, kill him; KILL HIM NOW!!" Now's the time, I jumped off the rock as it crashed into the ground, just as another explosion turned the boulder into a shattering spears of rock piercing through the enemies around the rear lines. "Damn it, what's going on, what's happening!" The enemy commander was frantically trying to keep his men in order as the explosion had pushed their anxiety into a full on panic. "Stay calm and take down these pathetic peasants, they are no matched for experienced soldiers like us, now cut them down all of them, and start with that boy!"

"Whoa, I wasn't expecting that, I guess one of the explosives didn't go off. However, it seems like it worked out in my favor, haha" It's about time I regrouped with everyone and start the ambush. "Here I go, stay out of my way!" I began to run through the enemy lines as fast as I could, most were too scared or surprised to try and stop me, which is fine "I would rather not have to kill any more people than I have to . . . just how many people have I kill now, how truly red are my hands . . . NO!!, I can't think like that right now, I have to stop these soldiers from killing innocent lives, that is why I'm fighting"

I cut through the few soldiers that had tried to stop me, I am almost there, and the villagers are advancing towards me. A few more enemies appeared in front of me "Get out of my way!" They held their ground and right as they lunged to attack, I jumped over them. The two soldiers then tried to strike their spears upward, but before they could lift their arms I pierced the back of their necks. As I descended from my jump I grabbed my swords and tore through the top halves of their bodies. "I told you to get away" I said in a sorrowful tone "You should have listened to me"

"Hey, you really did make it out of that explosion in one piece" I look up to see the village leader "Glad you made it out in one piece, now let's finish this fight" A small smile made its way across my face."Yeah, let us put an end to this battle once and for all." We look towards the enemy force and prepare to charge . . . "Something doesn't look right, a good number of those solders don't have weapons . . . then how are they going too . . ."

"Oh no, Everyone, Get down and defend yourselves, those are archers!" I was too late in my warning, by the time I finished yelling the archers had begun to fire. A majority of the people went down as I told them, but the few who didn't got hit pretty badly. "Damn it, I didn't consider archers being here, it's all fault people are dying because I failed to consider other possibilities." "No more, no more people are going to get hurt!" "It's time to spring the ambush!" "Please let this work" I threw my sword into the sky to use as a shining beacon of light to tell the villagers in the dark caves to attack. Once they saw the light, they would advance. "Come on, please see it!"

"What's that light?" Asked one of the villagers in the cave "You idiot that's the signal, now move out, it's time to attack." The forces came out of hiding and attacked the enemy from behind, the enemy had been completely occupied keeping the front line pinned down under fire that they didn't notice the secondary force strike from behind.

"Where did all these villagers come from? Curse them all to hell!" The enemy forces were pressed against two forces, the enemy soon fell to the might of the villagers. Soon after the villagers defeated the soldiers they held a small celebration on the battlefield for their triumph in battle. "Thanks to both of you, our village is going to pull through, thank you." "Well, it was nearly no trouble at all, glad I could . . ." I was about to finish talking as the enemy commander arose from the ground. "DIE YOU SCUM!" He shot his arrow before anyone had the time to react. I could see the arrow flying straight at me and before I knew it I was knocked to the ground, I looked up and saw the leader above me. "Leader, what's wrong?" I check my body to find out I wasn't hurt. "No, you didn't . . . why did you . . . why?"
