War Has Begun

by Another Loveless Ampora

Alternia was never destroyed, our favorite trolls never played Sgrub, but the war that Karkat brings any better then if they have played the game? Following Nepeta as she goes through this war. TW: Fan trolls and this is a really long story.

10. Chapter 10

Nepeta leaps onto the back of someone of a lower caste then her, preventing them from hitting Equius from behind. Karkat's forces attacked at dawn, and he was able to recruit more lowbloods to his ranks. This time, they weren't scared of the subjugglators, but as the hours drag on, more of Karkat's men are dying then Her Imperial Condescension forces are.

Nepeta and Equius are fighting side by side, as they are the last non wounded fighters on their side. They create the last line of defense from Karkat's forces and the camp. The fourth hour reaches its end, and the hot sun beats down onto the battlefield.

Equius turns around the find Nepeta struggling to push someone off of her. As what every moirail should do, he picks up the lowblood and throws them into the battlefield. Equius also helps her up, asking "Are you all right?"

"Yeah, just some scratches, what about you?" asks Nepeta, very little of her sweet olive blood on her face and outfit.

"Cuts and bruises," answers Equius. Both of them look out to the battlefield, seeing the dead bodies and still fighting soldiers. Karkat can be seen right in the middle, actually fighting Sollux. Nepeta watches Karkat, unintentionally getting lost in her thoughts. The next thing she knew was Equius pushing her to the ground as she sees a throwing knife coming from a lowblood nearby.

Equius took the knife to his chest, and he falls down right next to Nepeta. She looks at Equius with surprise which soon turned to rage. Before the lowblood could pull out another knife to throw at Nepeta, she pounces onto the lowblood and shreds her to pieces with her claws. The screams of pain from the lowblood fill the air, and soldiers from both sides look over to the see the decapitation.

When Nepeta was done, she runs over to Equius, who managed to pull the knife out of his chest. She kneels next to him, as shouts can be heard from camp, and people running over to help them. As some males pick up Equius and take him to the medical tent. Nepeta follows them intently, but a nurse keeps her outside of the medical tent. She sits outside, worried about Equius.
