For those who care I'd like to say that translating 39 chapters of thousands of words into HTML and FF format (enters when people talk) is a lot of hard work. I haven't even gotten to my massive chapters yet. Feel sorry for me as I continue the submitting of my story.


Chapter 6 - Jilger's Game Act I

Soren leaped back as the blade barely cut his cloak in the front. He saw it coming again and leaped away again before countering it with his knife the third time. Mia was sweating as well as neither has drawn blood for 9 hours since dawn. Soren broke off rasping

"Y-your pretty good... actually I think you might be better than every other swordsman I've seen." Mia nodded "Except Ike of course! He was trained by Stefan who I was trained by as well after I kicked his ass!" she laughed to herself.

Soren launched himself at her with his knife but she bent back to it went directly over her. Soren didn't see that coming; she looked at him smiling before kicking him in the gut and then flipping him over and holding his own knife to his neck. His head on her knee he looked directly up at her and sighed

"You win I guess." Mia smiled again "Guess what? We beat my record by a full hour!" Soren raised an eyebrow

"We've been at it for 9 hours? Where is everyone else?" Mia thought "Oh yeah they've gone to look for more food and I volunteered you to hold down the fort! Of course you were still asleep so I decided to hang back." He then realized the awkward position and coughed

"Mia could you let me go." she didn't realize she was still holding him. Her face lit up as she let go and scratched the back of her head "Heh sorry." Soren got up and put his knife back in his cloak

"That's alright." She was still burning up so she turned away smiling to herself.

The mercenaries returned ate and departed, they reached Jilger's estate 2 hours later and it looked just as Soren had scanned but there were not that many soldiers outside but a TON of lookouts. Soren scanned the inside and felt a lot of enemy troops but not as much as he imagined

"Something is wrong." before he could say what Ike got up and Soren noticed something else "Get down!" Ike leaped away as a mine blew up where he was standing sending the cliff falling down the slope and arrows began raining on them. Soldiers flooded out of the castle and Hetyo appeared

"Damn it they are here! Much to soon! Jilger won't make it unless I can hold them for a while!"

Flashback
"Hetyo I am leading a well trained professional strike force to attack Lytros immediately. If I wait for Barbyos I will be discovered." Jilger stated. Hetyo bowed "I will hold them off until you can make your strike on Lytros." Jilger smiled

"You are a valuable soldier. If you die..." "I will not!" Hetyo yelled. Jilger turned and left with his strike force.
End Flashback

"To arms men! We must hold the estate for Senator Jilger! The future king of Thyremog!" Hetyo yelled and the soldiers cheered. The mercenaries got up and charged into battle mines erupting all around them but Soren pushed away to forces because he knew where they were all located. Steel shined in the sun as weapons clashed and battle cries roared.

Soren swept at the lookout towers knocking them down on one another killing the watchmen. A troop of 20 charged and rammed into the mercenaries. Gatrie sent them flying as he used his skill Luna and killed some soldiers.

Soren was lost in the confusion against the central flank standing only with Zihark, and Rolf. The 3 turned to more incoming enemies and attacked them. Zihark was alone out there while Soren and Rolf backed him up with indirect attacked. Boyd and Oscar leaped out of the smoke on Oscar's horse to pull a familiar maneuver. Oscar did a tight turn in a large group of startled soldiers and Boyd leaped off

"Colossus!" he did a wide spin attack flinging all the soldiers in random directions before Ike, Titania, Shinon, Gatrie, Mist, Mia, and Ranulf joined the fray and destroyed flame catapults and ballistae and more of the lookout towers that were spewing arrows like mad.

Hetyo commanded his men to flank the small group but something was killing them like dominoes. A blue cat leapt at him and clawed his faced tearing out one eye. Hetyo screamed in rage and impaled Ranulf.

The mercenaries fought through the swarm of enemies as the gold knight and legend led a flank of the Western side and Shinon and Rolf sniped down all off the incoming enemies as Gatrie burrowed through them to the right with Mia, Zihark, Mist, and Soren in tow. The mercenaries tore through the enemy army like a dozen hot knives through butter.

Boyd, Oscar, and Uhnie broke through the central line and began to kill all the soldiers that tried to retreat, order was lost almost instantly. Hetyo was in pain but Ranulf was lying near death after being stabbed by Hetyo over a dozen times. He saw the mercenaries and charged in rage through the soldiers that tried to stop him. When one grabbed him he took off his head and continued his charge.

Ike saw him and waited till he was close before leaping up slicing his lance apart then bringing his sword through Hetyo's body. A surprised gasp was the last thing he would do before falling in two parts. Ike grabbed Mist and fought his way to Ranulf. Soren saw that a giant in armor appeared

"What the- What is that?!" He prepared a spell and shot it at the giant but the spell reflected and he was flung the way he came and into Zihark, Mia, Titania, and finally Gatrie. Then the 5 crashed into the slope that they slid down in the first place weakening the support and causing a landslide to fall on them. Oscar, Boyd, Ike, Uhnie, Rolf, Shinon faced down with the huge armored being as the rest of the soldiers stood back. Oscar rode around it

"Come on Yeka you can do it!" he pulled out a bow. Boyd and Rolf split left and right and pulled out their bows

"Three Brothers Triangle Attack!" three super-powered shots crisscrossed the being but deflected to the opposite brother knocking them all out. Ike brought up Ragnell followed by Uhnie and Shinon as they prepared to engage it.

Soren opened his eyes and tried to stand but there was searing pain shooting through his side and back. He pushed through the dirt and breathed in the air before searching himself for bleeds or broken bones. He found plenty of course before remembering what happened. He felt a hand grab him and looked down. He began to dig through the dirt

"I can't remember anything after crashing into Zihark. I'm just lucky I didn't impale myself on his blade..." he pulled out a barely conscious Zihark who looked at him and gave him a thumbs up. He took him down and placed him on the ground before Titania emerged from the dirt with half her horse the rest buried beneath.

"What happened?" Soren stood up again ignoring the pain and sighed "I stupidly attacked some kind of reflective armor and we ended up like this..." Titania dismounted and whispered to her horse before stepping on a lance. She reached inside and pulled out Gatrie half way.

"Come on! Get out!" Soren sighed breathing hard. "Hey! I'm still in here!" he raised his eyebrow "Mia?" Gatrie got out "I'll help dig for her." Soren nodded How in the world did we wind up in this predicament? he tried to retrace the events that led up to their collision with the hill.

Ike swung his sword up and ran at the monster only to be swung away into a group of enemy soldiers. Shinon fired as many arrows as he could but the backlash nearly killed him and he fell. Uhnie pulled out her knife This is for you bro...fireman!

"Bane!" she dashed at it and there was a series of lightning quick moves that incapacitated the creature. It fell into an unmoving heap. She was beaten up as well; with a bruises from the effort in piercing it's reflective armor. She grabbed her arm and rasped "I dislocated it!" Two more armored beings emerged from the houses. Ike got up "Oh great! Bring more!"


I will now take this time to answer some questions from my reviewer!
They are going to different worlds I make up not FE worlds (I never thought of that when I first started writing this story)
I'm glad you like what I did with Rhys and Oscar.
I had to bring Mia back because she is one of my favorite characters and the best Trueblade in FE10. (You can argue against me all day, won't change my mind)
I brought Ranulf because at the end of RD if Ranulf and Ike have A support he leaves with him so I brought him along.
While everyone was fighing topside Get snuck below and stole it because he is that kind of guy (a wimp really)
Terry Brooks' Shannara series is awesome read it if you like adventure set in the future (that reverted to the past) I'll explain more later maybe
Yeah wars rock. It isn't much of a war since the Barbyos Legion are like 'para-military' or a group that wants to overthrow the government and stuff. It will be more like a war war in the next arc.
Yeah so, sorry about all the text but you didn't have to read it. Review :D
