Chapter 5 - Bridge

Jan and his unit recived a new mission report. They were chosen to defend the bridge that connects Grandall and Dalkia.

Jan and his unit came unto the bridge that connected the two empires. There was a young blond girl in the bridge. She was wearing Grandall armor and had an Iron Sword. She then noticed Jan's unit and knew they were reinforcements.

"Oh, you must be the reinforcements General Girardot sent." said the girl.

"Yep, that's us." said Jan, "I'm Jan, leader of the unit."

"Hey, I'm Aeneas."

"Hi, I'm Riese!"

"Meiga."

"I'm Eurydice."

"Wow. This is pretty nice bridge." said Aeneas.

"It is." said Eurydice, "This bridge has aided both Grandall and Dalkia in the past years but now it is part of helping either both sides gain victory in this war."

"If I was a Dalkian leader, I would attack in with full force." said a woman's voice.

"Huh? Oh, A-Abelia!" said a suprised Jan, "What are you doing here?"

"I was called in for reinforcements." said Abelia, "This bridge is a big key in the war, and I intend NOT to lose!"

"She is in the warpath..." thought Jan.

"Indeed she is." said the SoulCalibur.

"I will attack from the west side." said Abelia.

"All by yourself?" said Jan.

"Do we have problem? Abelia said with her sword near Jan's neck.

"Uhh, no, no we don't."

"Good."

"Uhhh, all right, since Abelia will attack the west, Aeneas! You and Meiga head north and take down the blocking stronghold."

"Right!" said both Aeneas and Meiga.

"Riese and I will aid Eurydice in the bri...hey, where are they?"

"Riese and Eurydice are all ready at the bridge." said Meiga.

"Oh, well then, MOVE OUT!"

Meiga and Aeneas were heading out to the north but were blocked by a few soldiers. Jan made it to the bridge, and there were some Dalkian forces rushing in. Eurydice knocked out many off the bridge. Jan moved in in front of Eurydice.

"Eurydice, stand back." Jan said.

"Huh?" Eurydice wondered.

"Just watch."

The SoulCalibur then lit on fire and blazed in a huge flame.

"SOUL OF FIRE!!!!"

The fire had been released from the sword and bursted towards the the Dalkian soldiers. Many of the soldiers either got hit or dodged and fell of the bridge. The fire then made damage to the Dalkian side of the bridge.

"Alright!" yelled Riese.

"Look out! There are more soldiers coming!" said Eurydice.

"That won't be a problem." said Jan.

"Huh?"

Behind the soldiers running to the bridge, Aeneas and Meiga were running in fast speed.

"Eurydice, help me defend the bridge. Riese perpare a sneak attack." Jan ordered.

"Right!" both of them said.

Aeneas and Meiga took down five of the soldiers in the rear. Jan and Eurydice took down eight of the front and then out of nowhere Riese come out and took out the remaining forces. As Jan's unit were heading to the mainstronghold, a thought came onto Jan's mind.

"Hey, where's Abelia?" said Jan.

"Over there!" said Meiga.

Abelia was fighting two soldiers, one which was Roin, one of Dalkia's best warriors.

The first soldier was taken down easily but Roin was a harder challenge. Abelia defended on most of Roin's attacks but then a full strong attack caused Abelia's shield to break. Left defenseless, Roin was about to hit Abelia with one final blow until he got hit with a big sword that went trough his body. It was Jan.

"What the--?!" Roin yelled.

Jan then swang Roin on the sword to the ground which then knocked his head causing him to be

unconsious.

"Hey, you okay?" asked Jan.

"I didn't ask for your help." said Abelia.

"Um, well..."

"But thanks.

"Oh uh, your welcome."

"Let's go. We must take down that stronghold."

Jan and Abelia hurried to the stronghold with the unit. They managed to take down the stronghold and claim victory. Roin then woke up see the burned stronghold.

"Huh, well I guess that's what you get for having second-rate soldiers." said Roin heading back to Dalkia.

"Looks like we have to continue this." said Jan, "Reports had said there is a force defending the pathway to Dalkia. It might take us till night to get there but you know what they say, 'the sooner, the better."

"How boring." said Riese.

"I will assist." said Abelia, "I will not let someone like you take the credit for something this big."

"I will join too." said Eurydice.

"Alright then. Let's move out!"

Jan and his unit moved north on to the next challenge in the Mantis War.
