The Order of the Knights
Chapter 4
The Aftermath
This is a Pokemon parody. All people, places, things, and ideas belong to their rightful owners.
Lu rested in the hospital wing for several days. Parts of the castle that were damaged got patched up and fixed. The suits were left active, in case Bone clan came back for revenge. Zoroark, being his best friend, stayed by his side almost all of the time. The other three had to keep a look out for any danger. Lu woke up for meals and to drink water, but slept most of the time. Two suits stood guard at the hospital wing's door, and three kept watch inside.
After two more days,Lu sat up. He looked across the room, and examined a clock. He saw that it was 7:41 in the morning. He looked to his side, and Zoroark was asleep on a chair this time. His ear twitched, and he jolted up.
"You're awake!" he exclaimed in glee. Lu smiled.
"Yes, that I am. Is still hurt though." He noticed that he had a bandage wrapped around his chest.
"I knew you were tough, but you survived a hole being put through your chest! You're something else, you know that?" Lu had blushed this time. Nestis walked in.
"I thought I heard you." He walked towards Lu's bed. "Everything's back to normal, sir. No sign of Bone clan anywhere in our territory." Lu sighed.
"I didn't expect them to linger. But they're resilient. The won't stop until they have us on the ground begging for death. Remember," he looked up at Nestis, "I was one of them." Lu lied back down, and closed his eyes. He soon returned to sleep.
Bisharp decided to take necessary precautions. He organized scout teams and patrol teams. At twenty points around the forest surrounding the castle they built watch towers, armories, and first aid stations all inside small forts made from wood. Each patrol passed between two of the forts at any time.
"I'd like to see bone clan try to get to the castle this time!" Scizor said. Bisharp scoffed.
"I don't thing patrols and wooden fortresses will keep them at by for long."
Elyot was angered by his defeat, but was also scared by it. He had seen powers not known to anything, even history. Back at their city, he stormed off into his mansion. He entered, walked into the great hall, checked to see if no one was looking, and slid his stone throne to the side, and revealed a hidden passageway. He entered it, and the doorway shut behind him. A stairwell led up. He followed it up all the way to the top. A cold cave room opened up, with light coming in from cracks in the ceiling. He was almost to the top of the mountain. He went through another passageway, and ended up inside a circular room with chairs along the walls on top of a raised wall. A purple light started to glow in the room.
"Why have you disturbed our slumber?" a voice echoed amongst the walls. Elyot kneeled on one knee.
"I have dire news. I-"
"We know of your terrible folly, child." another voice, sounding female, echoed too.
"He must be stopped. He is a threat to my clan and the natural balance." Yet another voice echoed.
"So he is. What you will do is find the lost tribe of the ones who practiced the dark arts. Only with their help will you crush the Order." The light faded away, and Elyot left. As he walked down the stairs, he thought aloud.
"Hmm. The Shadow Arts Tribe. Even though I don't approve of their practices, they're the clan's only hope. And the forest Pokemon thought that we were savage and evil!"
The End
