Chapter Fifty: Attack And The Dragon
Frost's POV
N...No way! It's them?! They're here?! I thought they died a LONG time ago!
I fastened my pace slightly, smiling in complete disbelief to see two lovers at a table in the middle of a grassy field that was bare of any detail and isolated from the town. My feet scrunched the grass with every excited step I took closer and closer.
Eventually, they turned to see me from the table, putting on an incredible smile of disbelief accompanied with widened eyes. Haha!
"No fucking way!", Steve called out in excitement, jumping back from his seat the moment I was a mere five metres away from their table along with Phase and White who trailed behind a good ten metres. "A hologram?! An illusion?! Cupa!", He yelled in shock, turning to his left at Cupa who stared dumbfoundedly at me with widened orange eyes that resembled the glorious blazing sun.
"N...Neither!", She exclaimed, immediately standing up and slam in her left fist against the wooden table harshly, blankly blinking before Steve looked back at me, blinking twice, then walking right up to me with an extended right hand. A bloody handshake! "It's Frost!".
"Um... Hey. Long time no see!", I said, taking his hand like a man and shaking it up and down firmly as the other two caught up and stood on either side of me, White to my left and Phase to my right.
"Smooth", Phase mumbled, making me chuckle as we broke free from the shake and admired one another. He exhaled and took a step back, shaking his head as he said flattered my crazy looking eyes.
"Some eyes! Looks like you've been though a lot Frost! You know what, come! Have a seat you guys and let's have a good ole chat! Cupa! Say hello", He said, making me laugh as I turned to Cupa who walked up to me slowly with an adorable smile plastered across her white face, stopping a metre away then bowed down to me from her waist, making me crackle as I took a somewhat nervous gulp down my throat... Why bow? If they're treating me like royalty then... Hmm...
"It's been a while, Frost Richtofen", She said happily as she rose back up and erected herself, looking to my right at Phase who she greeted then to my left at White who she greeted as well kindly.
"Have a seat! C'mon! We have so many things to talk to you about dude!"... Haha.
White's POV
I sat close to Frost on the brown wooden table where our empty white plates of pasta lay idly for clean up. My eyes focused on my own empty plate for no apparent reason as I listened to their conversation, not wanting to take part in it. It wasn't because I was shy or anything. Heck, I could run naked around the town if I wanted to! I just wanted to learn more about Frost's past. Simple as that.
Slowly, I leaned to my right and placed my head against his shoulder, looking up at Cupa from the other side who smiled warmly at me, making me blush a little. My eyes immediately flicked down to the plate...
"Where have you been all this time Frost? I thought you were dead along with Mindy and Ruby!", Steve asked Frost from the other side if the table, leaning forward to emphasise his words greatly which made Frost chuckle, sending vibrations to flow throughout my entire body warmly... I blinked and pushed my head down harder against his shoulder, feeling his amazing warmth that filled me with love and comfort... Hmm.
"That's what I want to ask you", Frost replied in a small laugh. What happened to these guys in the past?
"Well, we died, then came right back after YOU managed to kill the unstoppable Charcoal!", Steve yelled in excitement. Charcoal... The Overlord of Darkness... Woah... "So! Tell me about what happened after that!".
"Sure. Uh... Where do I start?... I guess I fought another Overlord with White", Frost stated, making my eyes widen a little... Why the hell would he say... He must REALLY trust these guys!
"That's good. That's good. But still, I can't believe you guys survived that fall! Are FrostBitten's like made out of metal or something?!".
"Haha! No, I don't even know HOW we survived... I woke up with only a bruise and Ruby had an internal wound...", Frost suddenly paused and froze as if time itself had stopped, making me blink and look up at him to see slight sadness overcome him momentarily before he shook it off with his overwhelming willpower and carried on. "Umm... Ruby died by an infection in her stomach"... Huh? What's he talking about?!
"Oh... Dude I'm sorry...", Steve lowered his voice in pity for Frost's loss. "She was a nice kid. Blonde hair, light blue eyes and had some weird dagger"... Blonde hair?! Blue eyes?!...
Some time passed. A whole thirty minutes to be exact and just as I was about to say something for the first time, Cupa spoke before me.
"Are you in a relationship with White?", She asked, making Frost recoil as if her words materialised into a punch, making the boy of us blush furiously and make our bloods heat... Do...do we look close to each other? "You two look so close together! It's perfect!"... I... I hope she's not lying...
"You player! Wait... Does that mean... You two already slept with one another and made a child?!", Steve said all of a sudden, making me flush a terrible shade of red as I immediately reeled away from Frost as he gasped in shock to what he said, completely embarrassing the hell out of him brutally...
"Don't be ridiculous! Of course not!", Frost replied immediately without a second thought... Jeez... He's so cute when he's embarrasses... All the more reason for me to crave for him even more...
"Oh? But you HAVE done it. I can see it in your eyes you know! C'mon, spill the beans if you don't want me to embarrass you even more!", Steve threatened as I stared at Frost's red face that stared directly down into his lap painfully... He's done it with Mindy I bet...
"O...ok! But... It happened twice...", Frost suffered horrifically bad as his voice suddenly sounded like the one of a girl's, instantly making his eyes widen in terror... Don't tell me... "I was... You remember me being a girl? Well... I was raped twice as a girl..."... Frost?
"Bwahahahahaha! Damn you're good at making jokes! And yes, I remember that amazing female you!", Steve burst out laughing, annoying the crap out if Cupa who sighed and looked away with a cherry red face from embarrassment...
"Yeah... Jokes..."...
Frost's POV
"Jokes aside. Let's plan out our strategy for taking down that Colour. Here", Steve said with a serious tone of voice as he slouched over the table, pointing his right index finger over a large diagram of Yellow's whereabouts which happened to be a large wooden fort down to the south. The diagram was detailed and drawn in black ink by hand from a bird-eye's view. The paper was brown and frail, but it worked like a charm and gave the whole map an important feel.
I rested my forearms on the table, staring down at the image in between White and Phase who did so as well, breathing as quietly as possible in focus to the briefing.
"We enter straight inside the only passageway, defeat all enemies and then beat Yellow. Simple", Steve said. I clicked my tongue and shook my head a little in slight annoyance and disapproval to how dangerous his plan was.
He look up at me, pulled back his arm and cross both of his hands tightly against his chest with a small sigh.
"What's your plan then?", He asked me as if I was a child, making me smile confidentially as I fully examined the map's layout and made an EXTREMELY detailed plan within my head. Hehe.
"Let's try this. Her wooden fort is a rectangle with the short sides running vertically and the longer running vertically. Judging from the diagram. Anyway, we could set up a few sweet spots to a annihilate her undead forces easily", I stated confidently to them all aloud, erecting myself up and pointing at the middle of the northern wall of the fort with my right index finger, smiling warmly as White hummed and chuckled.
"I think I know what you're thinking. We'll breech a hole in that wall and perform a pincer attack from both sides. And at the same time we're going to torch the place down", White said from my left, making me sigh softly to her genius tactic that was the exact same one as mine.
"From there Frost should go an fight Yellow head on and end it as quickly as possible", Phase added and I approved.
"Good idea. But we have to be careful of their archers that hold down the passage", Steve warned, making Phase and White giggle to his worry. Haha! "What's so funny?".
"We don't have to worry about the archers. Only the others will lose a problem", Phase stated as I blankly blinked and looked up at Cupa, staring shallowly into her amazing light orange eyes that made her beauty sky rocket to over a thousand.
"Cupa, you will breech the top wall and if you can, destroy every structure in the fort. I'll need as much space as possible to fight Yellow", I said, then looking over to Steve who stared back with narrowed eyes and a small grin of excitement and confidence. "If you want to kill an undead, you have to take out it's core. And in this case, it's the brain. But do NOT let them get a hold of you. You'll never be able to break free", I consulted them like a war commander glaring into each individual's eyes with my light red and light blue ones that pierced their souls entirely. "Got it everyone?".
"Cupa and Steve from the top, Frost, me and White from the bottom", Phase said from my right. I nodded firmly.
"You seem awfully confident about this plan Frost... It's like you know Yellow", Cupa sighed, making me erect myself up and shift a bit over to the left on my seat closer to White. "I've seen her clash through thick oak tree trunks with her bare claws and throw crazy sharp knives with insane speed that easily penetrates through the toughest metal"... Haha! Is that all?! She's a piece of cake then!
"Let's see if it pays off. I'm expecting
you to do something spectacular, just like when you single handedly took out the Grave Digger with your bare hands", Steve mumbled.
"Alright! We're all good to go! Tonight we'll play our plan and take them out with everything we have!", I called out in enthusiasm, fist pumping the air with my right hand along with the others who did so strangely at the EXACT same time as I did... Haha!
White's POV
If we want to do this as quickly as possible, then my pistol is the best choice that I have. Deadlier than a blade and more cunning. A tool of long distant death. Even better with double the fire power.
Early night, cold, dark, silent. Easy ways to describe the world around us as we lay prone in the grass as still as statues. In this battlefield set in the grassy plains, was a fort made of wood not a hundred metres away from us up ahead. A cool breeze of air swept the land clean from the left, causing grass to rustle finely like seaweed. I smiled softly, rubbing my right cheek against the back of my right hand that lay flat on the green earth calmly.
Frost was to my right, armed with his frightening black and red blade of blackness in his right hand in front of him as he smiled softly and stared ahead at the main entrance. The entrance was like any other normal fort. Two large wooden pillars set up with one going across. Inside I could just barely see the swords of the chivalry inside, ready to take on anyone that tries to enter as well as the archers perched up on the walls.
"It looks more like a jail than a fort to me", Frost whispered as he slowly shifted himself a bit forward, crunching the grass gently.
I was about to say something but suddenly a MASSIVE explosion blew off from behind the fort, making my heart skip a beat and my visible pale furry ears fold over my head in agony to the terrifyingly high decibels. That's the signal!
Quickly, we all got up from the grass with small grunts and wiped ourselves clean from the green spikes before making a full sprint towards the entrance, stomping hard on the grass with all our might. This is the only shot we'll have to taking them on by surprise!
At the halfway mark I called out my Moon's Rhythm with all my heart in the shape of two revolvers, one in each hand. Their smooth, amazing texture fuelled up my motivation to succeed in this battle, allowing an adrenaline rush to take place within the core of my body which enabled me to run twice as fast... Haha! I'm going to have fun with these! I held both my arms out in front of me, aiming them both precisely at the grand entrance just in case they decided to come back.
I grit my teeth, taking in a good deep breath of the old fresh air as I sprinted into the entrance and jumped forward, leaping over a small barricade of wooden creates then landing hard on my feet. I bent my knees, smashing the tip of my guns into the solid dark brown earth with an immense thud that shook the ground very lightly. But lightly is more than enough to send a whole crowd screaming in horror!
Metallic rustling surrounded me from all sides, making me giggle as I immediately ran straight ahead where most of them were, readying myself to open fire at the ravaging board of undead warriors.
My hair trailed behind me amazingly as my attire fluttered harshly. Quickly, without a second nor a drop of blood to spare, I stopped in my tracks and charged up my magic down to my feet and forced it to enter the soil that I stood on in a circular manner. A bright light shone from the circle of light that I stood on, replenishing my stamina from the long one hundred metre run which gave me a massive amount of will and firepower to hose down these corrupted demons!
Bang, bang, BANG! I fired my revolvers with my hearts content, spinning around and landing many of my bullets straight into their skulls which resulted in an instant fatality. Blood splattered all over the air and onto my body, staining me with rich red blood that smelt deathly sweet and bitter. Ahaha! MORE DEATH! I'm going to suck Frost dry tonight! I want more BLOOD!
Steve's POV
I blocked a fatal downwards strike with a horizontal block, making the solider recoil back and stumble which allowed me to charge in and send a devastating lunge to his face. The tip of my steel blade punctured the golden helmet and exited from the back in fresh red pain with some pink slimy chunks of their brain, making me grit my teeth and grunt in disgust as I plunged it out and sent a horizontal slash to a charging for to my left. It gashed his neck cleanly which resulted in their blood spraying all over me. I cringed, holding my breath and wiping some of the cold blood from my face with my left hand before jumping back to JUST dodge an arrow shot by an archer to my far right. You sneaky bastard!
I seethed my sword into the case around my back and pulled out my bow with my right hand and an arrow with my left. Holding the bow directly in front of me in this chaotic war field, I armed it with the arrow and let go of it, landing it straight into it's skull and pinning it into a wooden wall behind it. Poor guy! He didn't even stand a chance! Haha! Some more over there! Let's do this!
Cupa's POV
Nothing ever touches me. Not while I've got these babies and the resistance to explosions! I threw a small red bundle of dynamite at a group of enemies up ahead, smiling brightly with delight as they all tried to scurry away like squirrels but failed and died with the huge earth shaking explosion. Golden helmets, long ropes of intestines and full intact lungs accompanied with a gallon of blood hurdled my way and drenched my green jacket red. Ahaha! Explosions!
I turned around, hearing the shuffling of metal and a grunt as I reached for some more dynamite from my sand coloured explosives bags that carried an UNLIMITED amount of lethal bomb-ware. Haha! Right in front of me were some more armed warriors that pounced on me with rage. I smiled and placed the red stick of dynamite into my jaws before pushing myself towards them all and exploding them into oblivion.
"Creeper one, undead none!", I taunted and pulled out a single stuck of dynamite in each of my hands, spinning them around in a bad ass way that Steve taught me to make the up coming twenty warriors flinch and think twice before attacking me. "EAT THIS!", I cried and threw the left dynamite followed with the right, pulling out another pair then throwing them again.
They blew up sky high and into conditions that not even the best necromancers could restore them back to life as slaves. Ahahaha! Here comes more!
Phase's POV
As a spirit that can turn into ANYTHING that lives, I went along and became a carnivores plant with a massive biomass which reached up to more than a hundred thousand tones AND had the ability to eject blitzing flames from the tip of my roots. I resided a the centre of the fort, wrapping up many of the undead men who tried their best to take me down... Hehe. Little do they know, that this plant can only die by natural causes and NOT by mere steel blades! I opened my huge purple petals from the centre that were coated with demonic spikes to reveal my million teeth that spun around and pulsated like a heart, terrifying the undead dearly.
With my many hundred roots, I forced them up from the earth and captured all of the ones who stood within a fifty metre radius and flung them each one by one into my mouth, devouring them brutally with my jaws and IF one manages to get thigh my jaws, would have to face my stomach acids that can melt down even an entire building if I wanted to!
Their screams quickly became the music of the battlefield and the explosions made by Cupa were the beat. Ah... I don't think I'll have to kill Frost for another YEAR because of this!
"Good work Phase! Get rid of the rest quickly! I'm going to search the last building for Yellow!", Frost yelled at me from the north as he ran towards a large flat wooden structure that had NO doors nor windows.
"Grwah!", I screamed... Ahaha! I forgot plants can't speak like people! Well, where was I? Oh right! MORE KILLING!
Frost's POV
This is the one! I'm sure of it... But there's no door nor any windows... Let's see...
"Grrrr", I heard from near me, making me blink as I blankly looked around me to make sure that NOTHING was trying to sneak up on me... Nothing? I guess it's just my imaginat- "Grrr"... It's coming from inside?... Woah!
I stumbled back, nearly tripping over as the ground suddenly shook vividly... What the hell?! That was from inside?!...
Hold on... I'll use my thermal vision on my red eye to check if anything is insi-... W...WHAT?!...
I was shocked, utterly horrified and confused to see one hell of a DRAGON on all fours inside facing exactly where I was... And more terrifying... was the fact that it's mouth grew redder and redder with each passing second! It's going to shoot a fireball at me!
Instinctively, I made a full sprint away to the left, running as fast as I can over the dead bodied of the 'undead' which made me smile a little to how ironic it was... Why the fuck am I smiling?! I'm going to get incinerated by the dragon if I don't step things u-
"RAWWWRGH!", It screamed from far behind as a high pitched particle beam-like sound emitted just before the earth shook along with one hell of an ear splitting explosions that FORCED my grey cat-like ears to come back to the cruel cruel world of reality... I coughed, turning around to see a massive black mushroom shaped smoke rise up from where the structure once was... Damn... It screamed again from within the smoke and slowly revealed itself as footsteps quickly approached me from behind. I knew well of who they were...
"A dragon?!", Cupa exclaimed in terror as it's head revealed itself to the world of pain. It's eyes glowed a bright yellow from it's golden face which immediately told me everything... Leaving me dumbfounded
and lost for words...
"No... It's Yellow", White whispered in awe as the smoke cleared off and revealed it's GIGANTIC golden body that stood on all fours and crept slowly towards us, extending out it's tongue that slithered in mid air like a snake to taste us and see who was who...
It stopped, reeling it's dreaded dark purple, corrupted tongue back into it's horrific mouth that bared no teeth for whatever reason...
"Black... Melody...", It hissed out my female form's name, making me grit my teeth and ready myself for it. "Come... To... Me..."...
It opened it's mouth, lowering it's head down to the ground as we all stared blankly at it... Disgust, terror, rage, excitement, confusement... The insides were a bright pink and had a small hole at the back of it's throat, just below the large dangling uvula which resembled a pendulum perfectly...
Bright purple, flickering confetti sprayed out from it any turned into a ball just in front of the uvula, spinning around and around, faster and faster until suddenly, it expanded to the full size only the mouth and turned to a dark purplish colour... Oh shit!
"Expect The Unexpected".
"Thrive To Survive".
"The Urge To Kill Is Only Human".
"Immortality Is A Curse".
