Chapter 7 the Vikings attack the village

Five days went by since Nano left for his business trip to the Kou empire, Lo'lo had settled into Vulka village nicely. The Fanalis helped out where he could, at first the villagers were nervous and a little scared of Lo'lo but with Dauwn being there brought a lot more ease and the villagers warmed up to Lo'lo. Lo'lo himself grew to like the nice and quiet life the town lived and Dauwn had become great company, the two were hardly seen apart from each other, today was no different.

The friends were in the yard where Dauwn held most of Daylights training and care, the yard was looking down to the town from the top of a slop on the side of a small mountain hill behind dauwn's house. Dauwn held her stead's reins to keep her steady.
Dauwn looked over at Lo'lo "Are you sure about this, Lo." asked Dauwn

"you once said your horse never lets anyone on her back, and I love a good challenge!" Lo'lo prided himself with confidence
"Alright, good luck."
it didn't take a second for Lo'lo to get on Daylights back, for a moment it seemed like he done it but then Light began to shift uncomfortably. Dauwn saw this and quickly tried to calm her stead. "Easy girl. it's just a 600 pound man." she said to her friend.
Lo'lo growled, "Hey! I'm only 202 pounds!"
"how's that any better?" Dauwn asked
Lo'lo eyed her "shut up, Dauwn."

Their little bicker made Light unsteady quickly and she bucked Lo'lo off her back. Lo'lo flew in the air, landing on the ground. Dauwn laughed a little to Lo'lo's annoyance.
"You distracted me with that crack about my weight!" Lo'lo pouted.
"Instead of pouting you should get up and try again if your determined." Dauwn suggested
he sighed "I suppose your right." Lo'lo jumped up from the haystack. "Alright, let's do this again horse!"
Daylight whipped her tail in his direction in a taunting motion.

The three were caught up in what they were doing that they were oblivious to the dangers coming from the waters. Coming in a speedy pace was a total of 8 large boats, these boats were filled with vikings, though most of these vikings were rather young. only three adults seemed to be heads but even so the teenagers were big compared to normal teenagers.

"Alright you lot, your about to ascend to adulthood of our great tribe! now your graduation test...RAID A VILLAGE TILL THERE'S NOTHING LEFT!" the middle adult bellowed to excite the teens.
the youngsters did give a joyous cheer, "For Ralkira! For our hold!"
"Vermax, this seems like a risk. These are still young ens and we now Nano has the power to destroy them all." said the younger of the three adults."
Vermax turned to his comrade. "Don't be afraid, Uric. Sernic here, got information that Nano will be gone for some time." he assured Uric,
Iric turned to Sernic the biggest one and he smirked with devilish intent making Iric smile in delight.

"Vermax! Vulka village ahead!" a scout shouted from one of the other boat.
everyone in the boats could see the shores with the village visible from where they were standing.
Vermax turned to the youngsters "We're upon our play things! Remember, together vikings can tame seas and move mountains! together we can drive these weaklings out of our shores!" Vermax called out to encourage the youth. the youth cried out in agreement and eagerness.
in one of the boats something small shuffles under some a sheet.

Back on land, Dauwn was still pretty distracted by Lo'lo being bucked off. Daylight sensed the danger again on the wind and now she knew what it was now. Light practically threw Lo'lo off her back, he flew in the air landing on something soft instead the ground. Lo'lo turned himself to look at what he landed on, it was Dauwn.
"oh darn, sorry Dauwn. I didn't to mean land you." Lo'lo laughed
Dauwn was laying on the ground on her back underneath him. "It's ..ok" she wheezed "I'm just under 200 pounds of man.."
Lo'lo and Dauwn tried to get up but Dauwn quickly slipped on a sponged, she pulled Lo'lo when she fell to the ground. This time they were face to face, they were so close to the point of their nose tips was touching. Dauwn's face turned bright red as they pulled away from each other quickly.
"Sorry." Dauwn squeaked
Lo'lo scratched the back of his head, "It's OK."

Their sheepish grins were interrupted by Daylights loud neigh, she was at the edge of her field. Lo'lo got up quickly and Dauwn followed suit to avoid the awkwardness that just happened.
"what is girl, what do you see?" Lo'lo asked in a rushed awkward tone.
all awkward atmosphere turned serious then the three saw the chaos at the beach. The vikings were unloading from the boats while others were firing arrows at the watch tower. the watch towers were doing their best trying to stop the vikings before they reached the village but there was just enough viking to slip passed the archers and began to ransack the citizens.
"Oh no, not again!" Dauwn exclaimed
"Are those vikings? there like bigger versions of pirates" Lo'lo exclaimed

as they watched the vikings and the guards in combat Dauwn could see her sister command the watch tower achers and myrui was in battle with the guards in the city. something in Lo'lo lit up watching the battle, he nearly didn't see Dauwn hoping on Light's back and ran to join the battle,
"Dauwn!" Lo'lo called after her but she didn't stop to answer him.

Myrui used his twin blades to slow down the vikings long enough for other guards took better care of the vikings. "Myrui!" Dauwn called for her brother, she had her bamboo in hand and with a few swings she knocks the vikings in the ground.
"Dauwn there you are! what kept you?" Myrui asked her
Dauwn lingered on that answer. "I was washing Daylight." she lied, Myrui did not like Lo'lo getting TOO friendly with his little sister in any way shape or form. so saying Lo'lo was bucked off and landing on Dauwn wasn't a good idea right now.
Dauwn's staff waved back and forth either tripping some vikings or knocking them out. however they underestimating the vikings endurance.
"I'm starting to wish Nano was here!" Myrui come out then he turned to his sister, "Dauwn you gotta take care of these guys!" Myrui called out. Dauwn quickly lost her balance, almost getting stabbed but she dodged out of the way at the last minute. Dauwn returned the swing, knocking him out
"uh maybe we should hold on for a couple of more minutes!" Dauwn suggested but Myrui glared at her
"DAUWN! NOW! we're losing a lot of our guards!" Myrui shouted at her. Dauwn flinched but before Dauwn could do what Myrui was asking a figure landed in the middle of the scuffle

To the vulka villagers it was a figure they knew but for the vikings it was a new figure. there stood Lo'lo, gripping his left wrist with his right hand and in his full Reim clothing and armour
"Lo'lo?" Dauwn was surprised to see him get there in a flash.
The Fanalis grew a wide smile that compliments his Glasgow and got a look in his eyes which Dauwn saw, she got pretty freaked out to see him make such a face.
"you guys need help and besides I want to give myself a good work out. These vikings will do just fine!" Lo'lo exclaimed with obvious excitement. "so come on you lot, give me a great time!" Lo'lo charged a group of vikings that were confused by Lo'lo but that confusion was replaced by sheer terror as Lo'lo's punches and kicks were sending most vikings ether flying or dead depending on where Lo'lo hit them. soon enough the guards began to just stand by and watch Lo'lo beat most- a lot- of vikings. That smile on his face made Dauwn shutter as Myrui leaned to her.
"that is the man you want to be with?" he said amusment
Dauwn gasped in shock, "What?!, no! I don't even have feelings for him. he's just a..scary friend." she exclaimed

Down at the beach the three vikings who were in charged were waiting for a signal from the party leads. "After this we'll head back and tell Ralkira of this great victory." Uric said in delight, Sernic nodded in agreement.
"Indeed. he will be happy of this successful mission. we should be hearing the horn blow any moment now." Vermax said.
but after 20 minutes a sound could be heard but it wasn't the sound of a horn it was cries of terror. The three adults were confused as the surviving youngsters were running back in fear
"THAT CREATURE IS AN ANIMAL!" one of them cried.

"what's going on!?" Vermax demanded to know
but the answer soon came as Lo'lo appeared behind them, he made a couple of steps on all four just like a beast but then got up on two legs as he continued to chase them
"Is this all you Vikings got? I'm disappointed!" Lo'lo called out
Vermax knew what Lo'lo was when he saw him. "Sernic take care of him. show the young what to do with an Fanalis." Vermax ordered
Sernic ran to Lo'lo and swung his war hammer upwards, striking the side Lo'lo's face. Lo'lo fell back on the ground. Dauwn, light and a couple of guards and her siblings were behind them.
"Lo'lo!" Dauwn shouted in worry for her friend
Sernic swung his hammer downwards, luckily Lo'lo rolled away before he could be hit. Lo'lo flipped onto his feet, dodging the swings Sernic made.

both sides cheered for their respective and honorary champions while the tussle went on the noises woke up the slumbering lump from the vikings boat. The small figure peered out from the ship, rubbing his eyes so he could see what was happening to make all that noise.
"what's going on?" the child muttered tiredly as he slipped out of the boat and joined the crowd, though more in the middle between the vikings and the guards.
the child saw the two fighters locked in battle, one of them he didn't know but the other looked familiar. "Hey I think I know that guy from somewhere.." the boy thought. "OH YEA, he was the one of the Fanalis with Muu Alexius."

Lo'lo noticed the boy as well when he dodged another swing. "What the-" was all Lo'lo could say before he was hit again on the side of the face, he fell to the ground. Everyone winced as Lo'lo was hit including the boy but Lo'lo was very angry now. with a grab of the hammer, when Sernic did a downward swing, Lo'lo used his powerful legs kicked Sernic to make him let go of the hammer and to send him flying back. in one snap Lo'lo broke the hammer, just as Lo'lo got back up on his feet. Sernic was in trouble now but his pride kept him going, this is what Lo'lo wanted, one opening is all he needed, he swung his fist as hard of he can and in a second Lo'lo made contact with Sernic's chest. The punch crushed Sernic's wind pipe and he began gasping, in a moment later Sernic fell down; Dead. This Shocked the vikings including vermax and Uric.
"Retreat! Retreat now!" Uric commanded.

In a flash the vikings were in their boats and they took off back into the horizon. when the boats disappeared did the guards begun to cheer their victory.
Lo'lo brushed his hands together to dust off any dirt on his hands, he turned to go to the boy but was swarmed by the guards. They were all saying of how amazing he was and thank you for saving the town from any more damage. Lo'lo didn't know how to escape until Dauwn came to safe him from his new admires.
"wow, big guy that was really something." she paused for a moment, "your really scary in a fight, I even think you got a boner."
Lo'lo couldn't help but laugh at her statement. "you and Myron would get along fine on that thought." he told her. a new voice appeared from the crowd.
"yea, mister. that was amazing despite the miss being right about you when you fight." it was the boy.
Dauwn was startled by the boy's appearance but Lo'lo crossed his arm
"hey, it's you again. Aladdin, isn't it?" Lo'lo asked the boy or as he called him Aladdin.
Dauwn blinked, "you know each other?"
"that's right we fought on different sides once..though I don't know your name I never learned it." Aladdin admitted

Lo'lo became blank faced, he was sure his name was said in Aladdin's presence but he should cut him some slack. Aladdin was a child and Lo'lo felt good right now."It's Lo'lo, baby magi." Lo'lo answered Aladdin
Aladdin's face sunk, "I remember that name surprisingly.."

Dauwn gasped "Wait...Magi?"
Aladdin turned to Dauwn, "that's right miss, I'm a magi, and my name's Aladdin."
