Whoops! I forgot to tell you last time about another delay. Oh well, at least it gave me a good opportunity to have a fitting name for this chapter. Don't worry, you'll be seeing two chapters making up for the delay!
Chapter 10: War on the Fourth of July
Elias went up to his megaphone to do the announcing routine once again. "Get ready and battle!" he announced.
Immediately, Sally's horsemen charged and avoided the explosions from Amy's musket-wielders. At the same time, land cannons blasted many swordsmen at a time. Once the musket-wielders were out of ammo, they then used their muskets in their sword mode. Large ships fired their cannons at each other while their onboard soldiers attacked one another.
Antoine, who was chosen as Sally's advisor for the war, passed out many suggestions. Yet, he hoped that Sally wouldn't like him even if he executed good battle plans; Antoine still loved Bunnie, but for once, he didn't want Sally to love him. Antoine looked out the battlefield and calculated a comeback. "Now eet would be best to send zee 'orsemen to fight Amy's swordsmen!" he told Sally.
"Ok, Antoine." Sally responded as she gave out the order.
Antoine whispered to himself worriedly, "She's geeving me more respect! Zeese eez bad!"
Scourge, who was now a swordsman, prepared himself when he saw Sally's horsemen charge his way. He speeded forward, battling with every opponent soldier in his way. But-- coincidence?-- the next one in Scourge's way was Fiona.
Fiona groaned, "Why did we fight the last time we encountered each other like this?"
Scourge frowned and answered, "Because we're on different sides. It's now our job."
Rosy, who was now controlling a cannon, saw Scourge and Fiona. "Don't worry, Scourge!" She announced as she got her cannon ready. "I'll kill her for ya!" Rosy lit the fuse, then aimed at Fiona.
Fiona quickly hurried away from the line of fire. Rosy's cannon instead fired at other opponent soldiers. "Drat!" Rosy grumbled. She continued loading and firing cannonballs at Fiona, but still continued to miss.
Scourge went to take on other horsemen until some musket-wielders pointed their weapons at him. "Uh, Rosy? A little help over here!" Scourge cried. Rosy was still focusing on shooting Fiona, still to no success. "Well, guess I'm on my own." Scourge grumbled, then dueled with the opponents at once.
Sally's cannon-ships destroyed all of Amy's, then went on to take on the land soldiers. At the same time, Rosy finally got Fiona trapped in between swordsmen. "You're mine!" Rosy cackled as the flame on the fuse was about to reach inside. But then a cannonball suddenly destroyed Rosy's cannon before it fired. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! &$*%^#!!" Rosy cursed. The sea-cannons continued to fire at Amy's soldiers. Finally, Amy gave in again and raised her white flag.
"Sally is the winner!" Elias announced. "Amy is now on the edge of failure, so she better come up with better tactics fast!"
Antoine was satisfied that his suggestion to use the ships worked. However, he grew even more nervous at the fact that Sally might start to like him for it. As for Rosy, she screamed in fury that her chances for getting rid of Fiona are becoming slim.
Is it fitting, ironic, or contradictial that a "Revolutionary" themed battle is posted on the fourth of July? I'll let you answer, but first: the next chapter!
