You people have waited long enough, so HERE IT IS! With my new 19 year old spelling and plot skills!!!

Shade: This better be good Matt.

Mark: You kept us waiting long enough.

Ike: Way too long.

Yea, but here we go!!

AN: I'm back now!!!

:D

I'm also aware that I made Lyn a bit OOC, so I intend to correct that from this point onward…sort of, cause we all know love makes people do crazy things ;)

Chapter 11: Queen Vs. King Part II

As Ludvecks forces began to climb the stairs, Haar, Brom, and Nephenee held the right stairs, while Lethe and Marcia held the left. Anyone foolish enough to try to climb the wall in-between was hit with either Calill's magic or Heathers daggers. Every now and then one member would swap out and Nealuchi or Elincia would take their place. Mark continued to yell orders during the fight.

"Haar watch your left!! Calill give that soldier some cover!! Nealuchi pull back, Nephenee move in!!!"

Elincia cut through one knight, but had to pull up to dodge a cavalier from hitting her stead with a lance. Elincia, throughout the fight so far, had been very lucky to escape many close calls.

Nearby, Lethe's transformation ended, leaving her open; Elincia saw an approaching soldier sneaking from behind and yelled to Lethe. "Lethe, behind you!!"

Lethe tucked and rolled out of the way, but the soldier continued to advance on Lethe. Elincia was about to move in when Mark yelled to her, "Elincia hold position, I'll save Lethe!" steering his wyvern into action, Mark charged the soldier and landed on top of man, allowing Lethe time to pull back.

Lethe gave Mark a nod as she pulled out of the action for the time being. Mark turned around to see an arrow coming at his head, and managed to move out of the way. "K boy, go help Maxi!" Mark jumped off the wyvern and charged the bowman, who was preparing to fire at Mark again; but the free wyvern grabbed the man in his mouth before flying off to help his owner, but not before dropping the soldier to his death.

"Marcia, we need to hold on until Lethe gets back!"

"Got it!" Marcia yelled, while dodging a fire spell.

'Please be safe guys!'

Karel, Brox, and Maxi were holding the East gate, but just barely. The soldiers they brought with them hadn't lasted long against the ruthless onslaught of Ludvecks forces.

Maxi and Brox were on either side of Karel, who had a malicious grin on his face. The outnumbering soldiers were slow to advance, as they clearly knew that Karel wasn't one to fall easily. So far, Karel hadn't even been cut once.

The soldiers swarmed them; Karel sliced a soldier to his left and was immediately attacked by another from behind, but managed to dodge before beheading the offender. When two more surrounded him from either side, he let himself fall to the ground, and tripped one soldier with his own legs, while cutting the legs off the other. Quick to his feet, Karel leapt up and finished the soldier who tripped. When another four threatened to surround him, Brox rammed his shoulder into one of them before decapitating another with his axe. Maxi also came down on another soldiers head with his sword, before pulling out a dagger and throwing it into the fourth soldier's neck.

That was when another six surrounded them, but two were instantly crushed beneath Maxi's wyvern. "There you are Zero! Keep at it!" Maxi shouted an encouragement as his wyvern tore through more soldiers.

But the continuous onslaught forced their way down the middle and separated Maxi and his wyvern from Karel and Brox. "Tis can't be good" Said Brox.

Ludveck sneered as he watched his forces fighting Elincia's, but despite his high numbers, he wasn't gaining any ground.

"That damn Queen, she thinks she can outlast me; Captian, bring in more men, we're going to drown them."

As Ike, Lyn, and co. disembarked, Lyn spoke to Ike, "Ike, I want to go ahead with Florina, can the rest of you handle the rest of your job?"

Ike could tell Lyn wanted to help Mark, he saw the connection between them. "Alright, you two go ahead and help Queen Elincia; I'll take the rest of your party with mine and get to our positions."

Lyn nodded, "Thank you, Ike. Good luck."

Ike nodded back, "You too Lyn." Lyn turned and ran to Florina, who almost immediately took off the second Lyn was on her Pegasus. 'She's so strong willed I doubt I could have kept her here if I tried.' "Alright everyone lets move! The Queen needs our help!"

Karel and Brox were beaten, battered, and still surrounded, but they held their ground.

"Oi, Karal." Karel didn't respond, "If dis is tha end…it's been fun."

Karel smirked, "Yea, it has."

The sound of cavalry could be heard approaching. "Dis might be tha last rush."

One of the approaching cavalryman shouted, "For the Queen!!!"

Karel, grinned, "Or the signal we've been waiting for." Karel and Brox continued to hack apart Ludvecks soldiers as they tried to defend from Crimea's knights, but being attacked on both sides, and being common soldiers, they were quickly defeated. A knight with light blue hair, who appeared to be in charge approached Karel and Brox.

"Are you guys alright?"

Brox put his hands on his knees and was panting heavily, "Ai, but you better move yer arse, the queen and Mark!" The knight ordered a majority of the knights to guard the entrance and took the rest with him into the fortress. Karel moved to follow, "Oi Karal, you aint goin in are yeh?"

Karel gave his trademark smirk, "You know Mark; he could always use some extra hands. You coming Maxi?!" Maxi was picking up a discarded lance and axe. "You going to use all that?"

Maxi grinned, "Yup, and the daggers I have hidden."

Karel grinned right back, "Let's go help then."

Mark was tiring, luckily for him, Lethe was returning to Marks side of the battle; "Mark!" Lethe yelled over the battle, "Geoffrey's arrived on the east side and is charging Ludvecks position!" Lethe then transformed and charged and unsuspecting soldier who was torn apart by her claws.

"Hold the line Lethe!" Mark yelled back as he took a quick second to survey the area; he looked up to the sound of wings and saw Maxi riding his wyvern. "Maxi, get down here!" As if answering him, Maxi dove his wyvern into a mass of Ludvecks forces. "Where's the queen, if Geoffrey's positioned right we can end this now." Mark ran towards the other end of the platform saw Haar. "Haar! Find the queen and get her over here, I have a plan!"

Haar grimaced, "She went down to meet Geoffrey's knights for a charge at Ludveck, I can-"

"Can your wyvern handle two people?"

"Well yea-"

Mark climbed on, before Haar or his wyvern could protest, "Get me over there now!" Haar obliged and was quick to get near Elincia, who happened to be in the center of attention, approaching Ludveck. "Damn! We only have one shot at this; dive down at Ludveck, make a quick hit, and tell Elincia to charge!" Haar dove down at Ludveck, who turned in time to see Haar the two of them traded blows; but Mark jumped off the wyvern before Haar attacked and came at Ludveck, who had a gash in his armor. Mark slashed at Ludveck, but the General blocked the attack and parried, catching Mark in his shoulder.

"You're not battle worthy boy; you better pull out before you get hurt."

Mark grinned, "You're one to talk." Ludvecks weapon was knocked away by Elincia who quickly delivered four consecutive attacks, and pointed her sword at Ludveck to finish the job.

"Elincia!" Ludveck yelled, "I yield to you! Please…you may imprison me."

The fight had ended.

I think THAT constitutes my return from the void.

Mark: That was cool.

Karel: I kicked ass…as usual.

Ike: I had two lines D:

Shade: You people whine a lot.

Don't worry people, more coming your way, just don't know when :D
