Chapter Seven: A New War against an Empire
Both Revelar and Dragneal all looked back in the direction they just came from in confusion and worry. The Demon Hunter and the Rogue all heard what sounded like a explosion coming from where they left the others at.
"What in Lord Illidan's name was that?" Revelear questioned as he kept looking at where they heard the explosion.
"I don't know, but it seemed to have come from where the others were at." Dragneal stated to the Night Elf next to him.
"There's a possibility that it was simply them training their creatures perhaps?" The Night Elf Demon Hunter wondered, as he didn't want to go back only for it to turn out being nothing.
"I don't know maybe we should go back and check on them to be safe." The Undead Forsaken suggested.
"Must we waste thing doing that?" Relevar questioned, not really liking the idea of going back just yet.
"Well, if something were to happen to those children it would be on our heads. Not to mention that we would then be lost without them since they are our guides to this world. Besides, we scouted out the area enough to know that there's no enemy around, so let's go." Dragneal told Revelar with a tone that left no room for argument.
The Demon Hunter merely gritted his teeth in annoyance before he sighed. As much as he hated to admit it, the Undead Rogue had a point. Those children were their only source of information about this planet, as well as helping them to reach their destination.
"Fine, but let's not waste any time getting back." Revelar responded back to Dragneal.
The Rogue simply nodded back to the Demon Hunter, and with that both the Night Elf and Undead Forsaken then made their way back to the campsite as quick as possible.
It didn't take long for the two to arrive back at the clearing. However before the two could get closer and get the four children's attention, they stood in surprised by what they were seeing.
What the Night Elf and Undead Forsaken saw was Ash, Serena, Clemont, Bonnie, and their pokemon all out and eating at a table. But what got the two's attention were the two Pandaren also sitting at the table with their helmets off, allowing their faces to be seen. From the looks of things, the group seemed to be enjoying themselves.
"Man, this is so good!" Ash exclaimed happily as he was munching down on the plate of food before him.
"Yeah Huntmon, this is really well done!" Serena told the Pandaren Hunter with a smile on her face.
"Oh, you all are just saying that to be nice." Huntmon replied back with a small smile on his face while stroking his tied up string of hair that hang from his chin.
"Don't sell yourself short Huntmon," Gokun, who was sitting next to his fellow Pandaren as he swallowed the food in his mouth, "You are a good cook. Sure you're not Zorther, but you are still great at cooking." The Monk told the Hunter with his smile, while wiping his face with a napkin.
"Zorther?" Bonnie asked them, not familiar with that name. Was that a name of a friend of theirs or something?
"Yeah, he's a good friend of ours. He's one of the best cooks we've ever met, though to be fair Zorther has cooked for years in order to get to the level he's at." Gokun explained to the four traveler's of the pokemon world.
Before any of them could speak up once again, they were interrupted by two yells.
"Gokun?! Huntmon?!" Both Revelar and Dragneal, who were now running over to where they were all at, shouted at once.
This got the group of six to turn their heads and attention toward the approaching Night Elf and Undead Forsaken. Seeing the Demon Hunter and Rogue got both the Pandaren to gain big smiles on their faces.
"Hey, Revelar! Dragneal! It's good to run into you guys again!" Gokun shouted happily to them as he waved his hand at them.
Revelar and Drageal arrived at the table they were all at, surprised to see two of their missing friends and allies here.
"When did you two show up? And how did you get here?" Dragneal asked the Monk and Hunter.
"We've arrive not that long ago. We saw these guys here being under attack by some weird group with uniforms and helped them out. Isn't that right Toothy and Hati?" Huntmon explained to the Demon Hunter and Rogue, while turning around to see his Devilsaur and Wolf, who simply kept on eating without a sign that they were paying attention to the conversation. This merely got Huntmon to laugh full heartily.
Both the Night Elf and Undead Forsaken blinked in confusion, though it was to tell due to their helmets, and also in Revelar's case, his blindfold.
"Weird group in uniforms?" Revelar questioned as he looked at the Kalos group.
"Yeah, we were attacked by Team Rocket right after you two took off to scout." Clemont informed both the Demon Hunter and Rogue.
"Team Rocket?" Dragneal asked them, "Who are they? Also what kind of name is Team Rocket?"
"There's a group of thieves who steal pokemon from other people. The ones who keep chasing after us are Jessie, James, and Meowth. They've been doing that since my journey began." Ash explained to the four Azerothians.
"Really?" Huntmon asked the black haired teen, "If they've been a problem since forever for you guys, why don't you guys throw them in jail or something instead of letting them go everytime?" The Pandaren Hunter asked them, not getting why these group of thieves were still out there and not arrested, or killed. Either option works in his opinion.
"Well…," Serena spoke up, a bit nervous as neither she nor the others haven't really though about something like that, "That isn't something we've really thought of."
That merely got Revelar and Dragneal to face-palm. How could they not think of that? That was basically common sense!
"Okay, how about we change the subject?" Gokun suggested to the others, knowing that Revelar and Dragneal will most likely try to get on the four about that, "How about you two sit down and eat huh? We can catch up and see what you guys been doing since you arrived here."
Dragneal simply nodded, willing to drop the other subject about letting Team Rocket go all the time. With those thoughts set aside, the Undead Forsaken sat down onto a chair. Revelar however remained in his spot.
"I don't need to eat, I'm not hungry." The Night Elf informed the group.
Before he or anyone else could say anything else, a small growl was heard coming from the Demon Hunter's stomach, getting the others to look at the Night Elf with a deadpanned stare.
"…Revelar just sit down and eat." Gokun told the Night Elf. The Pandaren Monk knew that he always didn't have time for this in his past, and being imprisoned for ten years, but come on, he needed to lighten up.
Revelar didn't say anything… but he did pull out a seat, sat down, and went on to grab him a plate of food without saying anything or looking at the others. Everyone else merely sweat drop by this, though they were glad that the Night Elf decided to listen and join in.
'ELSWHERE, BACK ON EARTHLAND'
The city was completely in ruin, many soldiers were either killed or managed to get away from the chaos to help the civilians escape. All around the bodies of the guards and wizards littered the streets.
In the center of the destroyed city was lying the body of one of the strongest Mages in the entire nation. The body belonged to Ajeel, one of the Spriggan Twelve of the Alvarez Empire.
Standing in front of the body were two figures. If one were to see them, they would notice that they were mostly completely covered in armor. Another thing to notice about them is that one of them wasn't even a human, but yet what looked liked a black humanoid wolf person. His head could be seen, as his helm piece allowed most of his face to be seen; only covering his mouth and nose rather intimidating. The other being next to the wolf-like man, was covered in a death-themed armor from head to toe, so it was unknown if he is a different race than human underneath the set of armor.
Though, another thing odd about these two unusual beings was the blades that they wielded. The wolf-like armored being wielded two large blades that seemed to radiate untold power. The other more human-like armored being also wielded a large blade that seemed to radiate death and decay.
The two didn't say anything as they merely looked at the body that now lied in front of them, rather annoyed that he and everyone in this town attacked them without any reasoning. However their attention was taken away from the corpse as they saw a pile of rubble moving, before an injured soldier managed to emerge from it.
The bleeding guard was breathing hard, but was still alive although unable to get back on his feet. But then, the soldier noticed the two armored being looking at him, getting fear to fill his being.
"Y-You… how dare you lay waste to this city?!" The guard shouted at them in anger and rage, despite the fear that the lone soldier had.
"…How dare we?" The one completely covered in the death-themed armor spoke up, his voice giving off an echo effect. Both him and the wolf-like armored being begun to walk over to where the guard was at as he spoke up once again, "You guys and your boss, whose lying dead behind us, attacked us first without any provocation from our part."
Before the Alvarez soldier could respond, the armored humanoid wolf grabbed the man by the throat before he growled in annoyance.
"Do you have anything to saw before we sent you to your death?" The humanoid wolf asked the guard in his hold with a glare.
The soldier, terrified out of his life, gulped before he managed to speak up.
"Y-You will not get away with this!" The man stated to shout at the two armored beings, not caring how scared he sounded as he went on, "The Emperor will hear of this treachery, and the whole might of the Alvarez Empire will come down upon you! Neither of you will be able to stand against the military might of our Empire! You have started a war you can't win! You both will fall before-!"
That was all the guard was able to say before the humanoid wolf man shoved his blade right into the man's chest, getting the soldier to cease movement as the life left him. The armored wolf man dropped the body as he looked back at his rival.
"So… it's a war that these guys want huh?" He asked his Horde acquaintance with a smirk, though it was to tell due to his helm blocking the view of his mouth.
"Then it's a war that these guys will get." The death-themed armored being stated back to his Alliance rival with a grin of his own, though no one could tell due to the helmet he wore.
These two armored mortals, who have just been declared war on, were none other than Salthas, the Battlelord of the Valajar, and Warrior of the Alliance, and Firesage, the Deathlord of the Knights of the Ebon Blade, and Death Knight of the Horde.
And they were going to bring down an Empire.
There you all go! That's right, Salthas and Firesage will be facing off against the Alvarez Empire, which means they will face off against the remaining Spriggan Twelve, as well as Zeref himself eventually.
See what did you all think? Good? Bad? Let me know.
See you all next time, whenever that will be.
