Guest: I can only imagine what caused Lucas to turn traitor, at least Crystal is now on friendly terms with Lincoln.
Well, that's a story for another chapter.
Arc 3, new into.
It was the day we had it all, but then the fire came from Earth and we lost it all. It was a day I had tears in my eyes, and it felt like it was only mine.
Chapter 7: Mankind's Return
In the rundown Sunborn Village
"You know they're coming." Crimson said to Josephine.
"We can take them down." She simply replied. Crimson however, had doubt, because she was not only a commander, but a spy too.
"But Madam, they have revived their Ice Warrior, and have united with the Ghoulish Guard. Only a mere fool would try to take them on. How exactly do you plan to stop them?" Crimson asked.
Josephine just smirked. "Send a shadow messenger to the Hell Empress. It's time for us clean Earth's surface of those inferior beings. As for the Ghoulish Guard, we'll just have to show them that we're not afraid."
"We're joining Hell's forces? But you know I despise them." Crimson said.
"Yes I know Crimson, I'm also aware that the only reason you serve me is because of your gratitude that I saved you from being executed. But I knew that when you offered to be my Commander, that you were special. You took that garbage group of monsters, and made true warriors out of them. Prepare the portal to Hell's Castle. I'm sure their Empress will help us in line for the destruction of both Mankind and the Ghoulish Guard."
"Yes Madam Josephine. I'll find our shadow messenger and prepare the portal." Crimson walked out of the room and was met by several skeleton hoplites, haunted paladins, and fire-skeleton mages. "Don't just stand there, get in position!" Crimson commanded. The troops simply saluted her and ran off. Crimson just sighed.
The camera zooms out to reveal that the rundown Sunborn Village was now completely colonized by monsters and being used as a base. On the ground were various foot soldiers walking around. This included zombies, skeleton warriors, ghosts, haunted armors, shadows, and even specially hired spider troops.
At various points, there were small risen platforms. On each platform was a fire-skeleton mage, and two regular skeleton mages. The risen platforms were to ensure that any charging knights with melee weapons couldn't get to them easily. On top of large towers near the front of the village were set up ballistas ready to shoot large, highly explosive, arrows into the enemies.
And to top it all of, was the line up of skeleton hoplites and haunted paladins ready to act as an impenetrable wall.
While the Undeads had surely set up a near-overkill defense, they were not able to notice that there was also a human spying on them, and that spy returned with details about their defense.
All of the elite warriors in Mankind's forces were gathered with the Ghoulish Guard's elites to discuss their attack.
Crystal was speaking up. "Okay, so me and the White Haired One are going to fly in on my dragon ahead of you, We'll use her fire breath to burn down the ballista towers, and any troops we fly over. That should heavily weaken them. Once most of their internal troops are fired, I'll drop him in and he can deal with the rest." She said pointing to the diagram drawn by the spy.
General Patrick then spoke up. "Meanwhile, while Lincoln's doing that, me and my fellow commanders will attack the front line with everything we have. This includes our knights, mages, ghoulish troops, and iron maidens which will be equipped with swords. Once we get past their front line, we'll charge in there and help him clean out the town."
Crystal then nodded. "Let's do this thing." She and General Patrick then did a fist bump.
Lincoln then gently elbowed Thea. "Remember, we still got that wager." Thea just rolled her eyes and lightly hit him on the back.
Crystal then pointed at Lincoln. "You, you heard our plan, we have to ride in on my dragon. Let's go." Lincoln just sighed and got up, following Crystal.
Mankind's Forces were now marching their way back to Sunborn Village. Over them is Crystal and Lincoln on the dragon. In the distance, the castle could be seen. Crystal took that as a sign to speed up and fly ahead.
Meanwhile, at the castle gate, Josephine was standing behind her front line, ready for the invasion she expected to come. She was holding her typical electric sword in one hand, releasing all it's quick white bolts, and in the other was a blue cobalt sword with slower, thicker, and rainbow colored lightning bolts sparking from the blade.
Out of nowhere, Crystal and Lincoln flew in with the dragon, which shot two fireballs at the ballista towers, knocking them out the defenses. Josephine ducked a little before looking at the damage. She then turned back and saw the charging army of Mankind's forces.
Back up in the sky, Crystal's dragon was shooting fireballs at nearly everything, destroying large amounts of monsters. Lincoln then jumped over the side and floated down on ice winds. Once he landed, he started cutting down any standing soldiers that tried to attack him.
He was then getting shot at by one of the skeleton mage groups on their platform, but he was able to use his wind control to dodge the projectiles. He then boosted himself up with his ice magic, and landed on the platform. He immediately cut down the fire-skeleton mage, and took down the two regular ones after they used their staffs to try and block his sword.
Back at the front gate, Mankind's forces collided with Josephine's front line. The monster warriors were actually able to hold their own against the humans fairly well, but were soon overpowered. With casualties now on both sides in this struggle, Josephine ran into the now spread out battlefield. She saw a knight standing there after taking down a skeleton hoplite.
She then jumped at the knight, and impaled him with her two swords. She was about to look for another target when Crystal flew above her with her dragon. The dragon shot a fireball right at Josephine, who responded by jumping backwards to avoid it. Josephine then noticed that Crystal was being persistent, and had her dragon keep firing controlled shots at the Undead Ruler.
Josephine then ran towards the gate, and saw Crimson along with the shadow messenger by a red portal. Crimson noticed her and waved at her, telling to hurry up. Crimson and the shadow woman both entered the portal, and Josephine, running with all her might, made one last leap and got through the portal right as the fireball coming right at her hit the ground.
"Damn it. Alright Jean, you go burn down more defenses, I'll take the ground floor." Crystal said, revealing the Dragon's name. Crystal jumped down and landed in a thick pile of snow. She soon popped out and began using her light sword to cut down any opposing enemies.
Everybody looked around and saw that there were no monsters left, and that any potentially alive ones left had fled the scene, probably back to the original Undead's castle.
After that, everybody put their weapons away, and began cleaning up the large mess that was made from the raid. Jean the dragon perched herself on top of the thick outer walls that made up the front gate. Everyone else just either continued working or stood in position.
Lincoln was standing in the middle of the broken town, and wiped away the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve. He then looked over to the spot where the red portal was opened and saw something on the ground.
When he picked it up, he saw that it was a red necklace-like object that had a charm on it. This charm was an eye that was all dark brown, except for the slim yellow pupil. He tucked it into his jacket pocket and continued looking around.
A/N:That's chapter 7 everyone, the big battle has started, and it will continue next time.
