A few hours later Darren got a horse and rides towards the Undercity alone since he lost contact with them, while he was riding along the road he suddenly got ambush by demon hellhounds, one sprung out of the bushes and bites the neck of his horse, causing Darren to fall off his horse and had to defend himself against the other two hounds but his weapon is broken and could not be rebuild with his power so he takes a few steps back and then starts running.
The three hellhound's chases after him through the forest, he had no choice but to grab the broken blade and throw it towards them, killing one of them by hitting its head then the one behind it would trip over the dead hound but the other one was still coming towards him. The hound was getting closer and was about to jump up to tackle him to the ground but suddenly an arrow comes out of nowhere taking out the hellhound then takes out the other one that was about to get back up. Sylvanas reveals herself to Darren; she places her bow on her back as she walks over towards the dead hellhound. She grabs the broken sword and throws it towards Darren, landing on the ground in front of him.
Darren grabs the broken blade and places it away "Sylvanas... this is the second time you saved my life, it's almost as if you want me to side with you in the end."
"That is the plan but i don't have time for this... the Burning Legion has taken my city and i want it back. I lost everyone inside that city so im guessing there all dead."
"So it's me and you against an army of demons."
"Not alone... reinforcements are coming, those that survived Silvermoon will return here, i just got here early."
"The Scarlets will come here in an hour so were on our own until we know what we are dealing with. Plus on the good side Balnazzar is dead."
She slightly smiles then starts walking off back on the road. Darren would follow her to see where she will go; she would head to higher ground to see what they are dealing with inside the city. They look down seeing large demon hordes holding positions inside her city but no sign of her undead minions and no sign of Phaelynne, they start to wonder if anyone even survived the attack and Sylvanas could not call forth any more since half her army went to Quel'Thalas while the other half was here in the Undercity.
"This is not good... Varimathras has his forces ready for us; he is just waiting for us to come through there so he can finish us off." She said while walking down the hill
"Then why doesn't he just finish us off? He took over the capital city in one shot; he can take out the Scarlets and Quel'Thalas."
"He wants us to catch the bait." She looks out seeing her Forsaken army finally arriving "Good... there here..." she starts walking over towards her army
Darren would follow her but he would stop and suddenly hears a dragon roar coming towards them. He looks back seeing Krasus in his dragon form flying towards him, he turns to normal and lands on the top of the cliff looking down at Darren then looking over at Sylvanas and her undead but looks back to Darren.
"My queen wanted me to assist you in the conquest against the Scourge... i didn't expect you would be siding with them."
"Things have changed friend... thank you for returning back here, are there going to me more reinforcements? We could use more extra fire power against the demons that now controls the Undercity."
Krasus would shake his head "They are busy in the west... while you are fighting here the orcs are under attack by the Scourge. Jaina and her forces along with the Night Elves are helping the Horde dealing with the Scourge; you're on your own over here."
Darren remains silent for a moment "What of Mileria?"
"I gave her the message, don't worry about it. But she will probably be fighting against the Scourge over there so now you need to clear the demons here before going to Northrend to confront the Lich King."
"Then we need to act now before it's too late. Come on." He starts walking towards Sylvanas and her army as they prepare to march
The Forsaken would march to the west first close to Hearthglen and waiting for some help to arrive. Krasus would fly towards the Scarlets Embassy to see what they are doing while Darren watches the city seeing if the demons make a move but they do not make a move on them even though they know the Forsaken and the Blood Elves are out there. Finally reinforcements arrive from the east, Scarlet Crusaders march towards the location where the Forsaken and elves are at the moment but they hold position and don't go any further since they still don't trust the undead. Darren would make his way towards his army and prepares a strategy with all the leaders before marching to the city, after an hour they finally have cooperation and is ready to move out but before they go Krasus would give Darren a new blade, he took it from the Scarlets Embassy since he saw his blade broken thanks to Balnazzar. It was just like his old weapon but was a bit longer and silver, he would try to swing around a few times to get the hang of it before rejoining with the Scarlets but before he heads out he wishes to talk to Sylvanas alone for a moment.
"Sylvanas... what is going to happen after we take the Undercity, what will happen when this war against the Lich King and the Legion is over? I need to know."
"Simple really... i control the Undercity, i will give you Scarlets a chance in this land if you wish for peace."
"If this does go to peace then me and the Scarlets wants the city of Hearthglen and Stratholme. That is what we want, in exchange you can keep your city but if you ever try to attack any of those places-"
"Relax there is no need for that, all i care is this land control by me, you and the blood elves can have what you want just as long as my people have what we desire in this world. Freedom."
Krasus interrupts this and tells them that everything is ready to go. Sylvanas and Darren go on their separate ways until they meet each other inside the city. Darren's forces march towards the front gate while Sylvanas and her Forsaken and Blood Elves moves towards the west to an area they know well that can get them inside the city. The Demons inside notices the Scarlet Crusaders marching to the gate and prepares to defend it but then Krasus turns to dragon form, he flies towards the gate and sends a few large fireballs down upon them, blasting the enemy around the gate then flies around the city while Darren charges through with his army, clashing against the demons inside trying to push them back so they can send their army through to fight the demon horde.
Sylvanas notices the battle inside and city and prepares to march from the rear by going through a secret tunnel the humans made long ago just to evacuate the citizens but now they use it to get inside the city and flank the demons. Krasus would still keep flying around the place sending fireballs down in a few places to weaken them but then he suddenly got hit by an Infernal siege cannon, causing him to land near the city throne room and has to fight the demons head on still in his dragon form. He uses his tail to knock them back and uses its claws to take them out but he gets more hurt thanks to those Infernal Cannons, soon they call upon more infernal golems on the fields to hold him off but then Darren appears on top of Krasus then he jumps down and strikes a demon chest causing it to fall back and die. He pulls his sword out of its chest and charges towards the others defending the front door of the throne room, the infernal cannons were about to fire but Sylvanas shoots a few arrows on its weak spots, causing them to break apart, once they were clear Krasus turns to normal and then grabs a sword from a dead Scarlet.
He looks over to Sylvanas and Darren "Take care of the Dreadlord, ill deal with them out here. Good luck!" he charges towards a demon to help the Scarlets
Darren and Sylvanas looks at each other and nods at the same time, they run to the gate and kick it open together seeing Varimathras sitting on the throne with Phaelynne standing next to him holding her staff ready, she aims it towards the two as they walk inside the throne room.
"Phaelynne? What are you doing... kill him..." Sylvanas said as she takes out an arrow ready to shoot
"It appears she is under his control again... i saw this before, you used her against the orcs didn't you?" he looks at Varimathras
"Indeed you are correct." He gets off the throne and walks closer to them "She is now mine, she serves the Burning Legion now after Balnazzar was slain..." he stares at Darren "You killed my brother."
Darren aims his sword at him "You will be next to fall with him then the Burning Legion can finally end here." He starts walking towards him
Phaelynne suddenly charged a green orb from her staff and fired a dark greenish skull towards Darren. He quickly jumps to the side to avoid it then looks over to her but then Varimathras would charge towards him swinging his claws at Darren, he gets a strike to the face and causes him to jump back but falls to the ground. Sylvanas notices he has three claw marks on his face then looks over at the two.
Sylvanas would fire towards the Dreadlord but he just breaks it and charges towards her but then Darren charges towards him and swings his sword at him, the Dreadlord blocks it with his arm and tries to claw his chest but he moves back and starts to swing again hitting his arm once more. Sylvanas would deal with Phaelynne by running past the two and shooting a few dark arrows at her but she starts hitting them with her staff but one hit her chest but didn't go deep enough so she hits it off of her chest and fires another skull blast towards her but misses, Sylvanas would grab a dagger and charges towards her but she blocks it with her staff but they both falls to the ground she tries to kill her but the way she looks at her she couldn't kill her so Phaelynne use this by kicking her off of her and sends a skull blast, hitting her chest and knocking her down onto the floor.
Darren and Varimathras continues fighting but then Darren gets the upper hand by pushing him back a few times as he continues swinging his sword at him while he keeps blocking it with his strong arms. Suddenly he gets hit on the side with a skull blast by Phaelynne, causing him to fall to the ground on his knees looking down but slowly tries to get back up but then Varimathras walks over to him and grabs his head, Darren grabs Varimathras hands to stop him from snapping his neck but Varimathras was stronger than him. The moment he was about to snap his neck he gets hit in the back of the neck by Sylvanas arrow, letting go of Darren and trying to grab the arrow but then Darren grabs his sword and stabs it through his chest but before he does that he lights it in blue flames just like when he faced Balnazzar. He burns his body and has the same fate as Balnazzar, he burns in blue flames and falls to the ground but before he falls dead Darren grabs the sword out of his chest and watches him slowly dying, once he dies Phaelynne would fall to the ground as the spell has lifted but still possess the pain he did to her when he got there.
Sylvanas stands up and looks at the door seeing Krasus and the Scarlets behind him along with undead soldiers standing together seeing the outcome inside the throne room. Darren was covering his face with one hand while walking over to Phaelynne, Sylvanas signals her Forsaken soldiers to go back outside.
Sylvanas walks over to Darren to see Phaelynne "Is she alright?"
"She is still breathing but i guess she is free from his spell." He looks back at the dead Dreadlord "The Burning Legion is finally over."
Krasus walks over to them "I know we should recover from this but right now... we got bigger problems at the moment."
"The Lich King." She stands up and looks back at the two "He is next to fall."
"We have to go to Kalimdor and regroup with the Alliance and the Horde, and then we will all march together to Northrend and face the Lich King personally... We can end this once and for all."
She nods and looks down at Phaelynne. Darren and Krasus would soon head out of there along with the Blood Elves and the Scarlets, heading towards the western corners of Lordaeron, there they will have to take their leave with Krasus because he wishes to take flight and return to the dragon queen by heading to Northrend first. There were only two ships left but they couldn't take them all to the west but luckily Sylvanas finally arrived with her forces siding with Darren's forces and she brought a few undead ships for all of them to travel to the west, the all had no choice but to trust her yet again and travel all together to the west where they can help the Horde and the Alliance against the Scourge before going to the north to face him.
After a day that has gone by and they finally made it to the Orcs city of Orgrimmar but it lies in siege as yesterday they fought against the Scourge and won but lost so many people, Night Elves, Orcs and Humans. While they were recovering they notice the fleet of human ships and undead making their way to the shores, Sylvanas and Darren were the first to get off their ships and makes their way to the city of Orgrimmar while their armies move towards the areas where the Undead were before but they were all gone. Darren and Sylvanas walks over to the leaders of the Alliance and the Horde, Shandris, Jaina, Thrall and Varian were all standing ready to make the next move against the Scourge.
"Darren... im glad you're here but you are too late to assist against the Scourge." Varian said then looks at Sylvanas "I didn't know you're with the enemy."
"Things have changed Varian. You would be standing with Sylvanas if you had to deal with what i must do in the east. The Scourge is the real threat not the Forsaken."
"Varian please she is not our enemy." Jaina said "We must all unite to defeat the Lich King now before he comes back with a mass army."
"I don't like this at all but we must unite if we want to win." Shandris said "We just lost alot of numbers here so we must need all the help we can get as long we trust one another." She looks at Sylvanas
"I will help the Alliance and the Horde to defeat Arthas... i hate him more than all of you since you know what he did to me. The Forsaken will help defeat the Scourge."
"Then we are all in the same side then?" Darren looks at them all, noticing all of them nods "Then we all know what to do."
After another hour of preparing ships and their armies' organisation and preparing for a plan of attack in the north, Darren went alone on a ship looking out at the sea thinking about this maybe a one way trip to the north, if he is focus he can survive and return home to his love. He looks down holding the amulet he got from Mileria and smiles as it saved him a second time against the Dreadlords, he hides it away as he felt someone was walking on the ship. He starts to act normal and not lose focus.
"The ship is almost ready to go Jaina." He said while not turning around.
"You made it Darren." It wasn't Jaina who said it, a female voice that Darren hasn't heard for a while now "Your back..."
Darren turns back seeing her, his one and only love "Mileria..." his eyes wide seeing her alive, she had a few blood marks on her body thanks to the undead she faced in the battle here.
"Darren..." he would notice a few tears going down her face then she would run towards him, wrapping his arms around him.
Darren would also walk to her and wraps his arms around her too. He lifts her up and spins her around but stops for a moment so he can see her face up close and then starts to kiss her; she kisses her back and doesn't know the amulet he is wearing starts to glow. After a little while of making out Sylvanas walks on the ship looking at the two, they let go of one another and both looks away, Sylvanas slightly laughs at the two and Darren looks angry at Sylvanas as she came on a bad time. She would turn back and walks off the ship.
"I uhm... it is good to see you again Mileria... i missed you." Darren looks back to her with a smile on his face
"I as well, i know you wanted to protect me but i have to fulfil my duty as a Night Elf to defeat the Scourge here before they attack Ashenvale. We all have to work together now, i know what you are going to say to me and i want to protect you in Northrend."
"Mileria... i don't want to see you get hurt, we are fighting the Scourge here you know and also the Lich King."
"I know... i want to be with you, i don't want to wait anymore. I want to fight beside you my love... i made up my mind and i am staying with you no matter what you say to me. I love you Darren..."
"Mileria..." he would kiss her again then hugs her "I love you too... just don't get yourself killed alright? I wouldn't forgive myself if you died on my watch."
"I know. I will fight beside you until the end; if we die out there then we will be at peace in the afterlife... together forever."
"Then together we go."
After a few hours later they all got their ships ready to move, fifteen ships were all ready to sail to the frozen lands of Northrend there they will fight for the peace they have been trying to obtain for a very long time. The Lich King could be the last one to fight to restore the peace between all races and factions, the Horde and the Alliance can finally have peace for now but it won't be long before more war comes to them again.
Darren and Mileria stand together on a ship that is in the lead of the others. The other heroes that have come are with them and will be waiting to meet him in the frozen lands.
The Lich King sits on his throne knowing they are coming, he has everything all prepared for this final battle against them. He stands up and walks to the middle and smiles under his helmet, he can sense all of the ones that are coming here to fight him especially Sylvanas he can sense the most, he can feel her anger of vengeance inside of her waiting to explode. Right now he waits and so is his army, his large army of undead that stands on the citadel and almost covers the entire north, the only way in there is one way and they will be ready to do battle. This is the final battle and everything will go down here, darkness against light, might against might, the end of the world is coming here into the frozen lands of Northrend.
