Chapter 7 – The Fight Begins

Sinbad didn't know what to do. He was stuck in a ship and could only watch while everyone started fighting. The Kou soldiers just reached the shores of Sindria. It angered him that he could only watch while normal countrymen tried to fight and were struck down easily by the masses of trained Kou soldiers. It became clear that the normal people were not what they were after, though. They only fought the ones that tried to fight back, they did not seek out the ones hiding in their homes, luckily. If Sinbad was still there, he would order everyone to stay in their homes or their basements instead of losing their lives by trying to fight. It was pointless for the people to fight back when they were not even what the Kou soldiers were after. It looked like the soldiers were heading directly towards the palace, which did not surprise Sinbad. The palace is where all the important people are located . . . including Jafar. Sinbad had seen Judar heading that way too, which was really really bad. Sin knew that no one could win a fight against a Magi, especially a Magi as powerful and him, unless it was another Magi fighting. King Sinbad knew that there was little chance for his generals to win the fight; he only hoped that they wouldn't die trying. Please. Please, don't die. You can survive, I believe in you. Masrur, Sharrkon, Yamuraiha, Pisti, Spartos, Drakon, Hinahoho, and Jafar. We have fought and survived together for many years. Don't you dare die without me! If you die, I want to be there with you, fighting 'til the end, together!

Not long after Kou soldiers landed on the shores of Sindria, the rest of the generals rushed into the room where Yamuraiha and Jafar were.

"Jafar, Yamuraiha, the Kou soldiers have reached the shores," said Hinahoho.

"Yeah, and they seem to be heading this way!" shouted Sharrkon.

"This way? Are they close?" Yamuraiha asked.

"Yeah! They are like surrounding the palace right now!" Sharrkon shouted back.

Sure enough, when they looked out the window there were hundreds – or maybe even a thousand – Kou soldiers outside the palace, waiting to fight.

"What should we do?" Yamuraiha asked. All the generals turned to Jafar for the answer.

"I'm going to go out there and fight until I die. I don't care if you want to join me or not."

"Well, I'm gonna fight too," Sharrkon replied.

Musrur nodded.

"I will fight as well," Yamuraiha said.

"You can count on me," Spartos added.

"Yep, me too," Pisti commented.

"As always, I will fight to save Sindria," Drakon said.

"I will fight to protect my country and my family," Hinahoho said.

"Alright, it's settled then, we will all fight together. It may be the last chance we have to do so," said Jafar.

They all grabbed their weapons as quickly as they could. They thought that the Kou soldiers would rush into the palace to attack them while they were unarmed, however, they seemed to be waiting outside for the generals to come out instead. Maybe they wanted Sindria to have a fair fight. Which made sense, Kouen was powerful but he wasn't evil enough to make innocent and unarmed people die by his hands.

When the generals decided they were ready to fight, they walked out the front door of the palace, weapons in hand. Everyone was silent for a while, but soon, they went to battle. Everyone was fighting their hardest. Yamuraiha was using her magic. Sharrkon and Drakon were using swords. Masrur was punching and kicking with his monstrous strength. Spartos was using his lance. Hinahoho was using the giant animal horn he always carried around. Pisti was riding her bird-like creature. And Ja'far, as always, was using his wires.

They were able to take down more enemies than they thought. Jafar was able to trap soldiers with his wires so that other generals could attack them easily. He also used the daggers at the end of the wires to take down some enemies too. Since all of their household vessels draw their power from Sinbad, they acted as just normal weapons without him. That made it a little harder to kill enemies because they did not have magical abilities anymore. However, even without having extra abilities, the generals were still doing pretty well. They were almost getting ready to celebrate their victory when Judar showed up.

"Wow, you guys are doing better than I thought. I was hoping not to participate in this battle. Oh well, I guess I'll have to now," He said maliciously.

The generals all looked up to see where the voice was coming from. Judar was floating in the sky above them. They didn't know if he just got there or if he had been floating up there the whole time. When Jafar saw him, he instantly threw one of his daggers directly at him. However, Judar quickly shot it away with a short burst of magic.

"You know, I would love to sit up here and fight you all day but Kouen wants you unharmed for the time being. Too bad, I would have loved to kill each and every one of you. I guess this is your lucky day."

The last thing any of the generals saw was a big flash of light before they were all knocked out cold by one of Judar's spells.

"Oops, I guess I overdid it," Judar said with a smirk as he saw, not only the generals, but the remaining Kou soldiers knocked out by his spell.
