Chapter 14 - The Final Battle (Part 1)

Wendy woke up for the 4th time today. She wasn't getting any rest at all. She kept thinking about Ellinia and its safety. But she knew they were extremely near Ellinia. The barriers force was something you have to recognize. Then all of a sudden Wendy's sense's alerted her. The Barrier was destroyed! Alarmed by the sudden disappearance of the Barriers enormous energies, she signaled the entire army to double their speed. Wendy and Zep went ahead as they were the quickest ones in the army. A Scream came from beyond some trees in front of Wendy and as she burst into the clearing with Zep behind her, She saw a fairy looking into the eyes of a Gate Keeper. Without hesitation, Wendy dispatched it with a fire arrow. Snarls were coming from inside the town of Ellinia and Wendy turned to the army that was still coming through the entrance.

"FOR VICTORIA!" She shouted.

"FOR VICTORIA!" The army bellowed before rushing forward into the quiet town of Ellinia forest.

Wendy along with Chibi and a few bandits and assassins started attacking Buffy's and Gate Keepers that flooded into Ellinia on the other entrance. Zep and Mark with a few other beginners went to warn the townsfolk about the attack. Both sides were furious. On Wendy's side, bandits attacking with tremendous speed and power. Assassins throwing their stars as if there were no end to it. Chibi whirling his spear, The FairFrozen, and bringing all those who come too near under submission. Wendy was casting as fast as she could. Then after the tide of monsters started to weaken, more monsters burst into the clearing and started to overpower the small group of Victorians. Thanatos suddenly appeared with another massive group of monsters. They were holding grandfather clocks as if they were weapons.

"Buffoons!" Wendy thought. "This is not good!"

"Foolish mage." Thanatos whispered. "No one can stop me!"

Thanatos then chanted a few strange words and frost spikes came out of the ground and killed a few of the bandits and assassins that were fighting nearest to him. Thanatos then chanted some more words and suddenly Wendy couldn't move her body at all. She watched as the masked demon cast a dark ball of energy and shot it towards her. Wendy closed her eyes waiting for death. Then she heard the magic being overpowered. She opened her eyes to see the two outcasts that had challenged her a few days ago.

"I see that you needed some help." Bob said looking at Wendy. "We have come to help today. Even outcasts such as ourselves can't stand by and watch our village attacked and do nothing about it. We will fight alongside with you."

Wendy nodded and allowed him to remove the curse that bonded her stiff. Freed, she and Bob went and started casting spells. Bobs friend, Juliria, was shooting arrows at lighting speed. Angered Thanatos chanted something and a dark circle filled with forbidden symbols appeared around him. Monsters poured forth from the circle and it looked as if there were no end to the monsters that came out of the circle. Shocked Wendy and Bob fell back. Juliria shoot dozens of arrows at the circle to delay the advance of the monsters. Then an ear-piercing cry came from the entrance. Athena and DancesWithBalrog were seen leading a huge band of archers and warriors. Wendy spotted John and Derek behind the two legends.

"Show these ugly beasts what we warriors can do!" DancesWithBalrog shouted.

The army erupted with war cries and charged forward, brandishing spears, swords, axes, pole arms, and weapons of different shapes. The archers pulled their bowstrings backward and let loose a barrage of arrows that came swirling down on targets. The final battle had started. Wendy spotted mages coming from the bottom part of Ellinia and was fighting back furiously. Everywhere blood and dead bodies were seen. Wendy gasped as she saw two pairs of crimson eyes flash into her mind. Suddenly the air was filled with demonic beasts and the surrounding areas came to life as giant bulls wielding spears and yellowish demons with one eye came pouring out from all directions. Two huge shapes came forth. They came out of the shadows and revealed two demons that were as large as a normal house and look scarier then any warrior could look. One of them wore a skull mask and its wings, torn and ragged, were shifting uncontrollably. The other was similar to the first but it didn't wear a skull mask and its wings were tiny and fragile. Even Thanatos seems taken back by the sudden appearance of these two beasts.

"I don't need help from you!" He cried.

"Why of course you don't…" The skull masked demon said with a sneer. "We have come to get rid of you and the troublesome humans. Did you really think these pitiful humans and fairies could actually kill your kind? It was us who did it. You were a threat and seeing you as the last of their kind we could finish you and I will rule Victoria alone!"

Wendy turned to Thanatos and yelled, "You were deceived! Help us fight these things back and we will talk about matters later!"

"Then what are we waiting for?" He replied. "You will pay for this treachery!"

The army of Gatekeepers, Buffoons, and Buffy's suddenly turned and charged at the bulls and one-eyed demons. Wendy's army did the same and charged straight at the new threat. Wendy's eyes locked onto the leader of the threat. She narrowed her eyes and whispered, "Don't underestimate humans…flying fool."

The newly united armies of Thanatos and Wendy faced the demons army. All was quiet and a leaf drifted slowly towards the ground between the armies. It touch the ground and at the same time both sides erupted with war cries louder then anyone has ever heard and charged at their enemies. The real final battle has just begun.......
