Everyone froze; Alwin had a wicked grin on his face. The other defenders were trying to figure out a way to stop it hitting them; they had watched some lucky attackers escape it before so surely they could to. Gildar, Kook and Ballista ran out through the castle back door to confront Alwin.
"So let's start with the basics, why did you try to kill me?" Gildar asked.
"Don't you remember in Handsomeville?" Alwin asked.
"No, what happened?" Gildar asked.
"You had a servant Alfred. He was a few years older than you." Alwin said.
"Yeah so, what has this got to do with you?" Gildar asked confused.
"You still don't get it and you don't remember, Alfred where's my shampoo, Alfred do this, do that. I got sick of it." Alwin said.
"Wait your Alfred but you died in the fire, the one that killed my Nan." Gildar said stunned.
"No, I started the fire." Alwin said smirking.
Gildar was about to kill Alwin but Kook and Ballista held him back, although this didn't do Alwin much help as Gildar had 5 brothers who were fighting in the battle and they all heard this comment, they were pushing through the crowd and stopped a metre away from Alwin.
"You better start running." Ivar shouted.
"You've forgotten about this." Alwin said pointing to the ball of doom.
Shaiden had run up and joined her brother on the top of the dungeon.
"This is a nightmare." She said.
"No way, this is brilliant, I mean where else are you going to get a Viking which came back from the dead, a murderous Slave who killed his victim's Nan and is now threatening everyone with a ball of doom, it's like all of the soaps mixed into one." Thorne said.
"Yes, but he's got a ball of doom which could hit us." Shaiden explained.
"It gets better." Thorne said, "Wait it could hit us."
"Yes." Shaiden almost shouted.
"Alwin." Thorne shouted moving towards him.
Thorne and Shaiden joined the other defenders who along with Gildar's other brothers were standing in front of Alwin. They were already to take him down. Ivar was breathing heavily.
"Who's going to make the first move?" Alwin asked.
"I am." Came a shout.
Everyone looked around to see Banan, standing there.
"You have bossed me around long enough." Banan shouted.
"So? What are you going to do?" Alwin said smiling.
"I've known you for years; I know your strengths and your weaknesses." Banan shouted.
Alwin's smile disappeared.
"Forget soaps we're talking the movies." Thorne said too loudly.
Everyone turned around a looked a Thorne.
"What?" He asked.
"Well you just said…" Kook started saying.
"Kook leave it." Ballista said.
Alwin was starting to push the ball of doom.
"Get out of the way." Knightriss shouted.
Everyone leapt out of the way. Alwin pushed the ball of doom. Everyone leapt out of the way. The ball of doom was heading towards the forest. Gildar, Ballista, Kook, Shaiden and Tinkor leapt right while Knightriss, Skabb, Crocness and Thorne leapt left. The Vikings jumped in various other directions. When everyone heard the ball of doom go into the distance, they looked up and slowly got up. They turned round to see Alwin and Banan had vanished.
"Definitely a movie." Thorne whispered.
"Is that the end?" Crocness asked.
"No, we will find Alwin and get him. No matter what happens." Ivar said walking off.
Other Vikings followed and wandered into the forest. Everyone was exhausted from the battle and went inside. Ballista was about to follow them when she saw Gildar sitting down looking pale and blank with shock.
"You okay?" She asked.
He looked up and nodded. She knew Gildar was having a hard time at the moment. 5 minutes after he wakes up, Alwin nearly kills her then he has to go and save everyone form hurting each other. Then to top it all of Alwin admits to killing his Nan.
"Let's go inside." She said.
"I might go for a walk." Gildar said getting up.
"No chance, you are banned from walks until Alwin is found." She said dragging him inside.
They saw Kook lying on the living room sofa, pretending to be asleep. Ballista tapped him, but Kook still pretended to be asleep so she hit him lightly. He opened his eyes and saw Gildar and Ballista looking at him.
"You okay buddy?" Kook asked.
"Seriously, after all that's happened you ask that." Ballista said.
"You did." Gildar said.
"Well, that's different." Ballista said.
"How?" Kook asked.
"It is okay, how about we go shopping for hair products or something." Ballista suggested.
"Do I have to come?" Kook asked.
"Yes now come on." Ballista said pushing the boys towards the door.
"Is this shopping trip for me or for you?" Gildar asked.
"For both of us." Ballista said.
Thorne was running down the stairs trying to find Gildar, he checked the living room, and then he heard voices in the main room.
"Gildar, Alwin has…" Thorne was saying then the door slammed shut, "escaped."
Gildar, Kook and Ballista were walking towards the shopping mall. Kook was lagging behind wondering why and how he was walking towards the shopping mall.
"Hang on hasn't this shopping mall got all of the designer shops in it?" Kook asked.
"Yeah, so?" Ballista replied.
"Well, Gildar's hardly going to shop in them is he?" Kook asked.
"I am here and yes why are we going to this shopping mall, I know a great shop that does all of my hair products." Gildar said.
"Well, we can find them in here." Ballista said pulling towards the shopping mall," Come on Kook."
"Admit it; this shopping trip is for you." Gildar said.
"No it's for both of us." Ballista said entering the mall.
The trio entered the mall and Ballista headed straight for her favourite shop. Kook and Gildar followed very slowly behind. Ballista picked out at least 5 different tops apparently.
"Ballista, they all look the same." Kook said sitting in the changing room.
"They are all different." Ballista shouted back.
"Yeah, Kook if you look very closely, you can see that this one is shorter than that one and this one has a longer neck line than this one." Gildar said sarcastically.
"Very funny." Ballista shouted coming out, "What do you think?"
"It looks great just like the other 2 looked great." Kook said.
"I know but I'm not sure it suits me." She said.
"Just pick one." Gildar said frustrated.
"Okay, fine." Ballista said getting changed.
Finally Ballista paid for her t-shirt and they left the shop. Kook was already bored but they were going to Gildar's hair shop so they should be that much longer as Gildar likes using the same shampoo and conditioner.
"Guys stop." Gildar said.
"What now?" Kook said.
"Run." Gildar shouted.
Kook and Ballista followed Gildar out of the shopping mall and down some back streets. They didn't look back as they couldn't. They stopped after 2 minutes of running. Kook collapsed on the floor. Gildar and Ballista were catching there breathe.
"What on earth were we running from?" Ballista asked.
"Alwin."
