LasCasul03: I wonder where Lincoln ended up. And if Ronnie Anne will be free soon. So many questions, so little time, right?
Yeah, I know what you mean.
Guest: So Lincoln was wanted for an unholy wedding, that caught me by surprise. It looks like Ronnie Anne is free from the mind control but now time will tell how she escapes being locked up.
Yeah, the plot has thickened. And Ronnie will unfortunately have to wait a while.
Arc 4, new intro.
It is time we say goodbye to the old life and let go of the knife that sharpens our life. Be glad to say goodbye.
Chapter 10: Unity Kingdom
5 months have passed since Lincoln's disappearance in the previous chapter. Hell's forces have begun to spread and take over, and Mankind has been struggling to keep themselves together. Josephine's monsters seem to have a camp set up away from most of Hell's forces, and it is being used as an opportunity to attack. Mankind has suggested the only way to win left.
General Patrick is standing with Azure, who is now an adviser because of her intelligence. "What do you propose then?" Azure asked.
The General simply looked down in shame. "Our only chance to survive is if we unite with the Purge Bandits." He said shamefully. Azure looked shocked.
"The criminals? How can you be certain they'll be willing to join us?" She asked.
Patrick then looked back up. "I talked to their leader, Sally. She said that she and her bandits will fight with us in line for the monster's destruction. Send the messenger eye to Crystal and the rest of the Ghoulish Guard. Mankind has been under the foot of the monsters for too long. I lost good soldiers out there, but it is time we strike back. Today we unite, and form the greatest force we can manage."
Later at the castle, General Patrick and Crystal were discussing with Sally about the uniting nations.
"You clearly misunderstand me, I don't hate humans. I'm with you, I swear." Sally said. She appeared to be a woman in her 20s with black hair in a ponytail, and was wearing brown leather clothing. She also had a gray bandanna over her mouth.
The General then spoke up. "Look, we want you to join too, but we can't let you see the royal ones to discuss this with those weapons on you."
"Fine, take them." Sally then took the gun off of her back and threw it at Patrick, and she put her sword down on the nearby table. "Look, I'm completely defenseless now, so let me in will you?"
Crystal sighed. "Fine, since you are now unarmed, you can see their rulers." She then opened the door and entered the throne room with Sally under her check. They approached the King of Lunar Kingdom, and the Queen who ruled over Sunborn before it was destroyed.
"Greetings. I am Crystal, the ruler of the Ghoulish Guard. This is Sally, the leader of the Purge Bandits. Due to a common opinion, we are here to discuss the possibility of forming a truce to help stand a chance against the monstrous forces that plague us." Crystal said.
The King was first to speak. "You must take me for a fool if you believe I would form an alliance with those crooks." He complained.
The Sunborn Queen then intervened. "The ice warrior who once lived for our kingdom would've wanted me to put trust in Sally, so I will."
Sally then looked at the grumpy king. "She's right you know, I may be 'filthy' and a 'gun nut,' but my forces want nothing except for humanity's survival. Besides it's already 2 to 1 here if you don't even include me in the vote." She said.
"Fine, but if any one of your troops steps out of line, you're all out of here, you hear me?" The Lunar King said angrily.
"Understood. Now then, let's plan an attack that they couldn't counter in a million years." Sally told Crystal.
Crystal just narrowed her eyes. "Unless we find a way to warm the planet back up, no lifeforms will live to see the next million years."
Sally just turned to the Sunborn Queen. "This woman is a major bummer." She said pointing at Crystal. Crystal just rolled her eyes, picked Sally up, and walked out. Upon exiting, they pass Patrick and Azure who were talking to pass time.
"So, scientists really once thought of a serum that would speed up pregnancies?" Patrick asked.
"Yes, but the project was cancelled for many reasons, some more obvious than others." Azure said blankly, preferring not to think about it, she then turned the two leaders who just came out the door. "Anyway, did they agree to the truce or not?"
Sally, after being put down, picked her stuff up. "Oh they agreed alright. From now on, poison and guns are on the battle menu."
Azure then nodded. "With access to gun technology, we'll certainly have a better chance. That also means I can put a couple into my winged battle suit." Azure said.
Next to them, a purple portal opened up, and head enchantress Thea came out. "I've looked all over Crystal's realm, he's nowhere in there either."
General Patrick sighed. "Thea, why do you keep looking? It's been 5 months, I think his journey is done." Patrick said.
Crystal then butted in. "I've seen how the white haired ones operate. Simple death is not an issue. He's already died once, I don't think his soul will just stop at twice." She said.
"So what's been happening here? Cause I've been camping in that realm for a week." Thea said.
"We've united with the bandits and now we have gun technology on our side." General Patrick said.
Thea just closed her spell book. "Hmm...okay then."
"Anyway, our plan is to attack the Undead's base that's off to the side. What we're going to do is launch a main attack lead by Azure in her battle suit. What they won't know is that we'll have two ambushes break down the side walls and start closing in, and bring them all down."
Thea the nodded. "I like the sound of that."
Azure then walked up to Thea. "Good, cause you're gonna have to be one of our wall breakers with your explosion spell." She then walked off.
Azure walked into her house, which was being shared between her, her sisters, and the Loud Family. She went up the stairs to her room. She had been busy working on her winged battle suit for a long time. She opened the brown bag she was carrying and pulled out two machine pistols given to her by Sally. She immediately went to work on installing two holsters in the battle suit to hold them in place.
There was a knock at the door. Azure put down her tools and lifted her goggles. "Come in." She said. The door opened, revealing the twins. "Oh hey you two, what's up?"
"You said that the head of magic would be looking for Linky again, where is he?" Lola asked.
"Sorry you two, but Thea didn't find him. She's been camping in different worlds over the past 5 months and has not seen a sign of him. At this point, we'll be lucky that, if we find him, he'll be alive." Azure then noticed them tearing up. "That's not ensuring is it? I haven't had kids yet, I don't know how to handle them."
"Is he gonna be okay?" Lana asked.
"Of course he is. We're talking about the guy who joined the army at age 11, survived getting infected by zombies long enough to be cured, survived a fight against the Ghoulish Guard matriarch, survived fighting the...man he survives a lot of crap." Azure said, now realizing how crazy this adventure was. "Well, if he survived all that stuff, I don't think surviving in whatever land he ended up in will be any real challenge. Anyway, I need to change into my battle suit, so you have to leave."
5 Minutes Later
Azure walked out of her room in her battle suit. It was made of metal mesh that was durable yet flexible. It had artificial wings that were powered, allowing flight, and as for weapons, two long retractable blades in the sleeves were built in, along with the new guns in the holsters she just added.
"Wow! What's that for?" Lola asked.
"I'm needed for this attack, and this suit will surely help." Azure said.
"Isn't that a bit uncomfortable on the skin?" Lana asked.
"Hardly, the inside layer was designed to comfort the skin like pajamas." Azure said. She then walked out the door, and the wings on her suit opened. They started releasing the acceleration and Azure flew towards the castle.
Azure landed in front of the other elites. "Okay, let's roll." She said. After the plan was reviewed again, the army of Mankind's forces marched their way to the Undead's base.
A/N: I just got a bag full of cliffhangers man. Next chapter will be invasion of the Undead's base. AP100 out.
