Mountain battle

A few hours after leaving the slaughtered village, the troops were marching through the Mountain Pass. Suddenly a cannon burst out of the wagon and exploded into the air. Will whipped her head around and saw a wide eyed Irma and Blunk. Each had smoke lining their faces. Without saying a word, Irma pointed at Blunk.

Will slapped her forehead before she saw Matt riding toward her. "What the heck happened?!" He cried.

"Uh…" Will stuttered.

"You just gave away our position, now we're-!" Matt was cut off when an arrow shot him in his arm.

The troops gasped before looked toward the mountains above them as a shower of blazing arrows, shot by the Hun army, rained down on them. Matt quickly pulled the arrow out of his arm and stood up. "Get out of range!" He shouted.

As they started to leave, Matt noticed the wagon with the cannons on fire. "Save the cannons!" He shouted.

Immediately all the troops rushed to the wagon to save as many cannons as possible. Inside the wagon, Irma yelped as a few arrows broke into the wagon and pinned her against the wall. Huggles started to panic and Will grabbed her sword and cut him loose. A few seconds later the cart exploded. Irma and Blunk shot into the air screaming bloody murder. They landed in the snow next to Will.

Irma sat up dizzily. "Oh sure save the fluffy horse!" She muttered sarcastically.

Will ignored the remake, grabbed Irma and Blunk and jumped on Huggles. She rode to where the others were positioned holding the cannons. "Fire!" Matt shouted. Cannons fired into the air where the Huns were hiding.

Soon the arrows stopped coming. Nigel was just about to light the last cannon when Matt stopped him. "Hold the last cannon!"

The troops silently looked into the smoke the covered the top of the snow covered hill above them. Soon Phobos appeared out of the along with his army. Hundreds and hundreds of soldiers raced toward the small handful of troops.

Matt turned to army. "Prepare to fight men. If we die, then we die with honor."

All the soldiers pulled out their swords knowing that they would die. Then Matt turned to Nigel. "Nigel, aim the cannon at Phobos."

Will's brow furrowed. There had to be some way to take all of them out at one time. But what? When she looked down at her sword she saw the mountain peak in its reflection. Her face brightened. That was it! Without a second thought, Will grabbed the cannon and ran toward the advancing Hun army.

"Ty come back!" Matt shouted after 'him'. He ran out to stop 'Ty.' "Stop!" He cried.

Will ignored him and dive the cannon into the ground, grabbing her spark rock. Irma, who was on Will's shoulder, started to sweat as Phobos drew closer. "Okay you might wanna light that right about now. Quickly, quickly!" She cried.

Suddenly, Phobos' hawk swooped in and knocked the rock from Will's hand. Irma turned pale and knowing this was probably her last moment pulled out her favorite food. Super spicy pepper sauce. She began to chug it down.

"Come guys! We have to help!" Nigel called to Caleb and Eric. The two nodded and jumped to help their friend.

Will was beginning to think this wasn't such the best idea. When she saw Irma eating the pepper sauce she had on the craziest ideas ever thought of. She grabbed Irma and pulled on the small girl's legs. To her shock, fire shot out of her mouth lighting the cannon. Phobos was just a few inches in front of her when the cannon exploded, with Irma on it.

"You missed! How could you miss!? He was three freaking feet in front of you!!" Irma shrieked.

Then the cannon exploded onto the mountain peak. The large snow embankment crumbled and then became an avalanche. Will smirked in satisfaction. Phobos turned his head and when he saw that his army was being consumed by the snow his eyes widened. Furious he turned back to Will and slashed his sword across her stomach. The disguised solider fell to the ground, but quickly got up to escape the snow.

As Caleb, Nigel, and Eric neared where Will was they stopped dead in their tracks seeing the snow coming quickly towards them.

"Shall we run for our lives?" Caleb asked casually to his friends.

"Oh yes, lets," Eric replied just as casually.

"And let's scream like little girls doing it," Nigel added calmly.

Then the three boys screamed and ran as fast as they could away from the avalanche.

Huggles broke away from the soldier containing him and rushed off to help Will. Phobos tried his best to outrun the snow on his horse, but he was soon consumed along with his army. Huggles reached Will, and she jumped onto his back. Then Will rode toward Matt and grabbed his hand. The snow then ran into them and broke their grip.

"No!" Will shouted as Matt disappeared under the snow. But soon she and Huggles were swallowed by the snow.

Meanwhile Irma, who had survived the explosion was riding down the mountain on a shield like it was a snowboard. "Will! Will, where are you?!" She shouted. Then she spotted some hair sticking up from the snow. "Will?" She asked hopefully.

She grabbed the hair, pulling the person up with it. It was Hun. "Nuh-uh!" Irma said quickly ducking the Hun back into the snow.

As she continued to slide down, she spotted something familiar. Irma reached down and pulled Blunk up out of the snow.

"Dude you are one lucky passling!" Irma laughed.

"You're telling Blunk!" Blunk replied.

Suddenly, Will and Huggled broke through the snow. Will looked around and saw an unconscious Matt sliding away with the snow.

"Matt!" She cried, riding toward him. There was no way she was letting him die.

One a nearby ledge, Nigel was sitting on Caleb's shoulders as he and other troops looked for Will and Matt. She reached him and pulled him up onto Huggles.

"Do you see them?" Caleb asked.

"Yeah!" Nigel cried, spotting the two. Then he shot an arrow with a rope attached to it toward them. "Oh yeah! And now I can pull them to safe…" However he had waited too long to grab the rope, and missed it by half a second. "…ty," He finished. "Aw, crap!" He muttered.

As Will tried to get out of the snow, Irma slid over to her and held up Blunk. "Hey Will, I found the lucky smuggler!"

"Business man!" Blunk defended.

"Not now you two. We need to get out of this!" Will cried, pulling Irma and Blunk onto Huggles with her. Suddenly Nigel's arrow landed near them. Will grabbed it and tied the rope around Huggles neck. Irma and Blunk plopped themselves down behind Will.

"Hey this isn't half bad," Irma shrugged. Blunk nodded. Then they looked in front of them and saw a huge cliff. "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" They screamed at the top of their lungs.

"Oh crap, we're dead. We're gonna die! Now way we're gonna survive this! The end is coming!" Irma shouted as they fell over the cliff. As they fell, Will shot the arrow back over the top.

Back with the other troops, Nigel was shaking his head sadly. "How could I have been such an idiot?!" He cried. "This is the stupidest thing I've-" He was cut off when an arrow landed in his open hands and yanked him toward the edge of the ledge he and the other troops were one.

The troops all grabbed him and they began to pull. Slowly, but surely, Will, Matt, Huggles, Irma, and Blunk were being pulled back to their friends.

Irma laughed. "Yes! You did it Will! You're the man! Well kinda," She said.

Will raised an eyebrow, but smiled anyway. Soon she and her friends were safely on the ledge. Irma and Blunk quickly went into hiding, before they could be seen. Matt began to wake up as he was put on the ground.

"Come on guys, let's let them breath," Caleb said, as he and other soldiers backed up.

Matt turned to Will. "Ty, you are without a doubt the craziest man I ever met. That little stunt of your nearly killed us all!" He said.

Will bowed her head in shame. Then it shot back up in shock at Matt's next words. "And you saved my life. From this moment on you have my trust," Matt said.

Will's face glowed with pride as the others cheered.

"Let's hear it for Ty! The bravest of us all!" Caleb cried.

"Your king of the mountain!" Nigel added.

"Dang right!" Eric agreed, pumping his fists in the air.

As Matt and Will stood up, Will suddenly hissed in pain and grabbed her side, kneeling to her knees.

"Ty! What's wrong?!" Matt asked nervously.

Will didn't say anything she just groaned. Then she removed her hand and blood stained her armor.

Matt gasped. "He's wounded! Get help!"

Will began to slip under, as Matt leaned over her. "Ty, just hold on. Hold on!" Then she passed out.
