Hello, this is Mike AZ 2. Updating is kind of slow sometimes, but I have no real excuse.
Now that I think about it, as I played through Ogre Battle 64 while following the Low CF (Chaos Frame) path, I realized that I forgot to add Azamroth, Carth, Biske and Europea to the Cast of Characters section of this novelization. Oh well.
Anyway, here's the next chapter.
Chapter II: First Assignment
A couple weeks passed since the events of the Volmus Mine. The civil war still continues, despite the Palitinean Army's attempts to silence the Revolutionary Army.
Magnus Gallant was eventually called to General Godesles' office in Akka Castle. There, Magnusspoke with him" You sent for me?"
" Yes, I have new orders" said the Southern Division General.
Magnus listened as General Godeslas spoke" Rebel activity is still getting out of hand. We will need to quell the revolution fast. You will be promoted to captain and will be assigned a group of men and a tactician, your first objective is to defeat the rebels at Crenel Canyon."
" Yes Sir" said Magnus.
As the blue haired man turned to leave the room, General Godesles spoke" One more thing, do not show sympathy for the rebels again. Just focus on what you can do for the kingdom."
Magnus acknowledged the general's words and left for the Southern Division base at the Cranel Canyon.
A few days later, Magnuswent with Dio to the briefing room at Crenel's Southern Base.
There, the two met with the blond noblewoman who was one of their fellow military academy graduates.
She had entered the room and spoke with Magnus" I heard there was a guy named Magnus here. W-wait a minute, that couldn't be you by any chance could it?"
" And you are?" inquired Magnus.
Leia replied" I am Leia Silvas, my troops and I have been assigned to your battalion."
Just then, Hugo entered the room and addressed the blond noblewoman" So you're the Silvas we have heard about."
The grey haired man then turned to Magnus" Just so that you know, Leia here may be cute, but she's quite a handful."
Dio raised his eyebrows" Pardon, but who's cute?"
" I hope you're not as dense as you look" sighed Leia at Dio's words.
" What did you say!" quipped Dio, standing up in irritation.
" For crying out loud" sighed Hugo.
DioandLeia sat down at the table with Magnus.
Hugo then spoke with the blue haired man" Anyway, why don't we give this company a name, Magnus? We're an official battalion of the Southern Division now. We need a name to distinquish ourselves with."
" What of the Blue Blazers? That sounds like a cool name" inquired Dio.
" Child's play, why don't we just think of a number and call our group the 13th battalion or something like that?" said Leia.
" Too boring, don't you think?" said the black-haired teen.
Magnus interjected" That's enough, I just thought of something, why don't we name our battalion 'Blue Knights'?"
Dio thought for a second, then said" Ah well, can't complain about that."
Leia nodded" If you say so, its not a bad name."
Hugo spoke up" All right then, our battalion will be called the Blue Knights. We should try to stay true to our name."
The four then studied the map of their current location.
Hugo addressed Magnus" From here, our target is the fortress a day or two north of this camp, we must liberate it from the rebels."
Magnus stood up" Okay then, let's move out."
Outside the base, Magnus surveyed the area, then turned to his troops" The path here is a bit of a crossroads, but according to the map, both roads lead to the fortress."
" So how will we go about it then?" inquired Leia.
Magnus replied" Leia, you, and Dioare with me. Bertha, you and Singleton will head left while the rest of us head right."
" Sure you're sending enough troops that way?" said Leia.
" It is better then regretting it later if we get ambushed" said Magnus.
The two groups marched along the fork road, on the way to the fort.
At the fort, one of the rebel Valkyries, spotted Magnus' group and turned to her men" Don't let them take the fort."
" Yes ma'am" said a nearby fighter.
A day later, Magnus' group encountered a group of enemy soldiers.
Leia brandished her lance and said" Let my group take care of this."
" Not alone you shouldn't" said Magnus.
" Ha, no need to fight about it" interjected one of the enemy knights.
With that, the whole enemy garrison charged at the newly formed Blue Knights.
Coolly, Leia stood her ground with one of her Valkyries and launched a potent combo thunder spell at the incoming rebels.
Three enemies were killed, but two more rebels wounded three Blue Knight soldiers.
Magnus drew his own sword and began to fight his way to the fortress while Leia and Dio threw the rest of the rebel garrison off guard and rushed to help Bertha and Singleton, who were fighting off another group of rebels.
At the fortress itself, the leader of the rebel garrison met with Magnus with a sneer" So I take it you're part of the Southern Division."
" That's right, and we're going to put an end to this" said Magnus.
" You don't understand our motives. The Upper class and the nobles lived comfortably long enough, now it is our turn" said the rebel valkyrie.
" Isn't there another way to resolve this?" said Magnus.
" Enough talk, let's duel" said the Valkyrie.
With that, the enemy valkyriecharged with a group of fighters on her side.
Magnusbarely had time to act when he got hit with a lightning blast.
Suddenly, Leia and her group appeared and threw themselves at the last of the rebels guarding the fortress.
Leia sighed as she handed Magnus a heal leaf" What were you thinking challenging this lot by yourself? You shouldn't have to endanger yourself!"
" Later, we need to end this skirmish" said Magnus as he administrated the herb to where the lightning spell hit him.
Leia's squad meanwhile had defeated most of the enemy group at the fort, but the Valkyrie Commander was a handful.
Quickly, Magnus brought an end to the fight by fatally wounding the enemy commander's heart.
With her dying breath, the rebel valkyrie gasped" You have... a pure and noble heart... be true to yourself."
Soon after the battle ended, the tactician Hugo addressed Magnus" We received word from General Godesles' messenger with new orders Magnus. The first is to sweep the rebels from the Zenobian Border, the second is to escort Prince Yumil through Mylisia."
Magnus thought for a moment then said" Are the rebels' dissatisfaction really that bad?"
" It certainly seems that way, but for now we do what we can" said Hugo.
Leia shook her head" I don't understand, why are the rebels so violent about it?"
" Who knows, but let's just move out" said Magnus.
How was it? I never did a detailed action scene or anything like that, so it turned out kind of short.
Also, my apologies if the characters seemed a bit OOC, but only the main characters seemed to have much of a personality. Not to mention that there may be some scenes or dialogue that weren't in the actual Ogre Battle 64 game in future chapters. I must also apologize if I am not completely accurate with the game's locations, cities and fortresses. I may even have to make up some names for some of the bosses of each scene.
Feel free to review if you'd like to.
