Here we are again, a new chapter. Thought I start this one a early earlier. Figured you might want to know how that cliffhanger ends. What? Cliffhanger are my thing. The votes are still the same. Our mysterious counterpart Aurion leads the charge with 2 votes, Chaos and Noah are tied for two. The Special guest writer chapter vote has Erin winning with seven followed by Eliwood with two, and Noah has one. Dusty has zero alongside the extra options that are question marks. These votes are going to end soon. Very soon.
Chapter 46
Winged Flames
Ok let's recap what just happened. We got on a boat and for two week I'm being suffering some seriously bad sea sickness. When I finally got to do something useful a voice in my head with all of my strength fading in a instance. Then I fell from my wife's pegasus into the boat, and later fell into docks which are on fires. Also we're surrounded by an army of undeads and our counterparts. One of them who already shown he can beat the entire shepherds with one attack. So how screwed are we right now? Royally I'll say. I miss the boat.
"Let's begin, Classic Blast," Jean screamed and fired at purple blast at Noah, Only for Aurion warp or move right in front of it, and block it. I can't really tell he was that fast.
"Wait one second," Aurion handed me and Noah sandwiches. "Eat up,".
"Why am you giving them food?," Jean screamed at him.
"Hate to admit it, but I agreed. Why would you give us a food?," Noah questioned the counterpart.
You two looked like you haven't eaten in two weeks. Who wants to fight on a empty stomach," Aurion warped and sat on one of the rooftops that wasn't currently on flames. Surprised he found one.
"Its not poisonous is it?," I looked at the sandwich.
"I've felt you alive so you can learn. I want the fated battle. What would poisoning you accomplish?," Aurion pulled out a sandwich of his own and starting eating it.
"That remind me. Didn't you kill him? WHY IS HE ALIVE?," Jean screamed at him.
"Death was boring, so I came back to life," I shrugged. We never did figure out how I got revived.
"Will you stop screaming. Scream one more time, and I will start torturing you," Thoaria glared at him.
"Is there anyone you won't torture?" Erin looked at her counterpart.
" My boyfriend," Thoaria said blunty.
"Wasn't that Jean," Noah looked confused, and slightly horrified.
"He has, then I noticed how much of a pompous asshole the guy is. Then I started dating Aurion," Thoaria pulled out her axe.
"Can we stop this conversation please?" I shook my head.
"Please," Erin shook her own head.
"While your eating can go learn how to pound a tuna?" Chaos smiled happily.
"Just how are you going to do that in the middle of a battlefield. Seriously who the hell are you?" Charlie shook his head.
"Hi I'm Chaos Fucking Insane, and I'm your counterpart Charlie," Chaos smiled at him.
"WHAT?," Charlie looked completely shocked out of his mind. Really its not that surprising man.
"Wait is that his full name?," Link spoke up.
"Yeah. It works doesn't it?," Chaos gave one of his smiles.
"What's a counterpart?," Tharja pulled out a tome.
"Well I'm his opposite. I'm comic relief, and he can't tell a joke. He's good at being helpful to his friends. I'm not very good at friends," Chaos waved his hands. "What did you think that whole plus one thing was real? There was a reason she changed forms. That stupid dragon. Her pasta is terrible," Chaos shook his head. "So can I go learn how to pound a tuna now?"
"Why do you want to learn that so much?," Ganondorf looked at the madman.
"Because I'm hungry, and I really want tuna. Star, can you show me how to pound a tuna," Chaos looked at her.
"Um," Star started to blush.
"I think he means it literally. Like actually pounding a actual tuna with a hammer," Aurion cracked up.
"Nine," Chaos nodded very fast.
"Can we get to the fighting now. We finished the sandwiches a while ago. Thanks by the way," I looked at my counterpart.
"Go ahead, I'm not going to stop you," Aurion was still cracking up.
"Alright finally," Jean held up his tome, and fired off a classic, only for Olivia to slice it out of the air. Damn.
"Hiyah, Hiyah, Hiyah," Link swung a critical right at his counterpart.
"Chaos, you're mine," Charlie rushed at him with Tharja following .
"Cordelia, Olivia can you handle the risens armies?" I looked at the Risen surrounding us, and noticed they were dropping from all directions. I swear I can hear someone firing a bow, and using a lance. The lance might be Dusty or Erin. Pretty sure the archer isn't Noah. I mean he's good with a bow, but I'm not sure he's that good.
"I can try," Oliva sounded like she was nervous.
"We'll do our best," Cordelia flew into the battle.
"What about me?" Henry looked at me with his battle crazy smile.
"Help them," I looked at him, and he ran off to join the fight. Seriously forgot him. I'm still missing something right now.
VIEW CHANGE: Link's turn
So after that whole situation finished, we finally got the fight going. I went straight for Ganondorf. Our swords clashed against each other. As spark flew with each strike, and each movement I noticed something. Any wound Ganondorf made on it, didn't last. I looked around, and noticed Lissa holding a healing staff.
"I got your back," Lissa beamed and held her staff.
"Who's got your back?" Arthas charged at her.
"That would be me," Ron slammed into Arthas and went the guy flying a few feet.
"YOU DAMN MOTHER FUCKING COMMIE. WHY DID YOU DO THAT?," Arthas screamed
"Oh shit," I looked at the scene in front of me. Arthas did not say that. Did he?
"Oh dear god," Charlie was just as shock.
"You're doing to die man," Chaos looked shocked as well.
"Even I know that's incredible stupid," Ganondorf was shocked as well.
"Dude you're fucked," Aurion looked surprised.
"Why. What is he going to beat me with the Vodka he drinks. I'm not scared of Rony here I'm mean look how little he is. Does he think he can be.I AM THE KING OF ALL LICHES," Arthas laughed at him. Dude kicked your ass last time, and you kept saying stupid things like that.
"I'm going to fucking murder you! To start it off, I'll rip your arms off, next yours ,and your ears! And then I'll rip out your beating heart straight from your chest you racist bastard, I'm going to crush you. You'll will wish a brat like you never met me..I swear when I'm done with you, you know know which fucking way is down..no healing magic in this world will fix what will be left of you ," Ron screamed at the dude, and I swear I saw the image of a giant green dragon appear over him.
"Holy flying fuck, where did that come from," Noah looked in fear at the little guy.
"Didn't think he could do that," Dusty looked taken back.
"I like this Ron better," Henry started to laugh.
"Ok even I think that was too much, and I torture people for fun," Thoaria looked horrified.
"You don't push his berserk buttons," Aurion shook his head.
I noticed right next to Ron was a small bar, and it said Breaking the ice. Somehow we have achievement bar in a game that doesn't have achievements. I wonder if Chaos has anything to do with it. Ron grabbed the achievement bar, and charged at Arthas. When he got close, he just slammed the damn thing into Arthas. The first strike knocked the dude down, and now Ron's sitting on him and striking him with it. Just damn man.
"Someone stop him. This is painful," Arthas started to cry, as Ron continued to bash him with a achievement bar. I would laugh, but this situation is horrifying. Even the zombies are shocked. He just keeps bashing him.
"I don't think we can," Star looked like she was about to freak out.
"ERRORS HAVE BEEN MADE, SOMEONE STOP HIM PLEASE," Arthas screamed as Ron dropped the achievement bar, and grabbed him by the arm. He's actually trying to rip the arm off.
"Anyone noticed something very wrong," Erin pointed at Ron. He seems surrounded by a dark aura.
"Is his heart darkening?" Aurion sounded worried. Why would he be worried?
"Urgh, shut up. I won't let him," Noah held a hand to his hand. "Just shut up Robin,"
"Yes because that's Robin your hearing," Aurion sighed in disbelief. Why do I feel like he knows more then he's letting on?
"Cordelia, want to calm your husband down," Noah looked around for her, only find her missing in the crowd of fallen risen. Really are you actually telling me she's missing.
"Link, Charlie are you able to calm him down?" Erin looked at us.
"No, we usually just let Scarecrow knock him out," I shrugged.
"As lightly as he can," Charlie pointed out.
"SOMEONE STOP HIM, MY ARM FEELS LIKE ITS GOING TO BE RIPPED OFF," Arthas screamed and I think he started to cry. Ron was still grabbing the guy's arm. Surprised if that arm doesn't get removed soon.
"Charlie, hit him with your hammer," Dusty yelled at him.
"I've got a better plan," Erin climbed off her horse, and ran at Ron. She grabbed him, and pulled him off the dark warrior.
"Let me go," Ron screamed at the her.
"Calm down Ron. This isn't you," Erin screamed at him.
"He deserved it," Ron yelled, and turned to attack Arthas again. That dark aura was getting brighter, or should I say darker.
"Ron, don't. Its not worth it," Erin looked at him.
"Its worth everything," Ron kept screaming. I think he lost it. This isn't normal anger for him.
"Ron is this what your courage suppose to be? Is this how a hero acts," Erin slapped him across the face
"Ouch, what the hell?," Ron looked at her only slightly annoyed. The whole shadow aura surrounding him started to fade.
"Trying to calm you down," Erin smirked.
"Well I'm calm now. The evil bastard annoyed the hell of out of me," Ron looked at Arthas, the dark aura completely fading from him.
"Hey if I'm so evil, why doesn't God strike me down where I can," Arthas stared at us, and if on cue, and lightning bolt slammed into him. "Haha next time bring your A-game,".
"It didn't work because you didn't provoke Fire emblem God," Chaos looked at Arthas
"I won't do that. Also can someone fix my arm? I think he pulled it out of the socket," Arthas rubbed his own arm. "That was worse then Thoaria's torture session,".
"Challenge accepted," Thoaria gave a smirk.
"What did we miss?," Cordelia rode up with Henry, and Olivia.
"A lot," I looked at them. Now you show up.
"That's a understatement," Noah facepalmed.
"Wait Henry's alive. I left you in the river bleeding," Star looked shocked.
"The crows saved me. They made it so I could fly up," Henry laughed "Blood,".
"Arthas call out Fire emblem god," Chaos spun where he stood.
"No," Arthas yelled at the mad mage. Then out of nowhere the guy got a arrow at his neck. "Who fired that?,"
"Probably the random sniper firing from random corners and moving from rooftops," Aurion cracked up.
"Someone kill him," Arthas yelled as he got another arrow slammed into him.
"I would but he's at the edge of the town, and he keeps moving. Making hard to track him," Aurion shrugged.
"It must be Sniper King!," Chaos yelled at the top of his lungs.
"Who is this Sniper King? I must recruit for my army. Where is he from?" Ganondorf looked at him.
"Sniper Island," Chaos laughed.
"Where is that?," Ganondorf glared at him.
"In your heart," Chaos smiled at him.
"How does that work?," Ganondorf looked confused.
"Dunno," Chaos shrugged.
"Funny first he became a magicial girl to conquer Hyrule. Now he wants to recruit a Straw hat," Aurion started to chuckle.
"Ganondorf became a magicial girl?" Ron started to laugh. Ok I'll admit its funny.
"Yeah, you had to be there. I give you a video of it, but I don't have one sadly," Aurion smirked.
"So how do we stop him?" Arthas yelled in pain.
"I know. I'll scramble the fairies," Chaos held up his hands and two purple portals opened. Out of them ran alligators. Even Chaos looked confused by that. "Where are my fairies?," .
VIEW CHANGE: Eliwood's turn.
So we were just having a regular day in the fort. Then out of nowhere these small glowing creatures attacked us. These two portals opened, and they just flew out of it. Then they attacked us. We ran outside.
"Why are these fairies attacking us?" Aqua struck several of them with her magic.
"I don't know," I screamed. "Sorry kinda stressed out here,".
"Help," Morgan yelled as a bunch of fairies carried her in the air.
"Sinon do something," I ordered as a bunch of fairies bit me.
"BLOOD AND THUNDER GIVE ME BACK THE AMNESIAC," Noire fired arrows killing the fairies. Only for Morgan to fall into the water.
"Morgan," Aeron went into the water after his sister.
"Your welcome," Noire yelled.
"This is just going to be so much fun ain't it?" I heard something behind me.
"Um," Aqua pointed behind. I turned around, and noticed the bridge was broken. THE BRIDGE IS BROKEN. You know why that sucks. Our fort is surrounded by water. Without the bridge we can't get into the fort. BLYAD, BLYAD,BLYAD.
"This is going to suck," I facepalmed.
"View Change: Link's turn.
"Can Arthas just call on Fire emblem god now," Chaos looked bored.
"You know what I will just to shut you up. If I'm so Evil, let Fire Emblem God strike me down," Arthas held up his hands up, and another lightning bolt struck him. This one felt more intense then the last one. The guy scrambled around, and fell into the flaming river. "IT BURNS," Then he drifted down the river still screaming his head off in pain. I don't think he's going to make it.
"I'm so lost," Olivia looked at Noah.
"I don't know," Noah shrugged.
"I'm more curious, why Aurion hasn't done anything the whole time?" Charlie questioned. He makes a good point.
"If I join the fight it will end," Aurion looked at us. Just damn man.
"I'm not sure if I'm scared or relieved," Ron shivered in fear.
"I'm ending this, NOW. CLASSIC BLAST," Jean fired one of those weird attacks of his. It went straight for Olivia.
"NO," Noah moved in front of Olivia, knocking her back, but the blast was still going straight at him. Before the blast could connect, dust filled the space, and they were both gone. The ground where they were stood was scorched. If it wasn't for the groan, I would have thought two of our comrades had just been destroyed. Instead Noah and Olivia were lying on the ground completely unharmed. Lying beside them was Ron holding his side.
"Damn it, why does someone get in my way every time I try to kill them. I won't miss this time," Jean fired up another blast
"Jean-senpai. Slight issue with that," Thoaria was pointing out. Then Jean was tackled by a black pegasus and its rider. No it wasn't Dusty and her pegasus um Bessie, Leela? Bender? What? Fine I don't know the name. Anyways the rider was a pink haired girl with some kind of demon mask.
"I am Rose. Daughter of Olivia and Noah Smith," The girl slashed Jean with her spear. Impressive. Wait did she say she was Noah's kid? I'm actually surprised by that.
"You're going to pay for that," Jean fired off the blast,
"Get down," Ron stood up, and rushed at her. In a flash he was gone, and reappeared. He slammed into Rose, and they crumbled into the ground, Jean's attack flying past Rose, but still slamming into Ron. Slashing through his side, and leg.
"Why did you do that? Seriously what is this girl to you. You don't even know her. I can kill you, and your risking your life for her. Why? Do you have a death wish?," Jean looked at Ron.
"Are you really that stupid? Did you not hear her. She said was Noah's kid. You think I would allow you to harm, my friend's daughter. Yeah I'm risking my life, and I'm doing it to protect my friend. I know how important Noah's family is to him. You won't touch any of them, while I'm still standing," Ron stood up and drew his swords.
"Well then I guess I'll have to kill you. I'll just tell Aurion, one of the Risen's killed you by accident. He'll believe it," Jean fired another blast.
"Called it," Thoaria smirked and I'm starting to think she wasn't talking about Rose. Jean's blast went right at Ron, only to knocked out by sword. A sword wielded by Aurion.
"Forgetting someone?," Aurion turned and faced Jean. Dude looked pissed.
"Oh fuck, I forgot you watching the fight," Jean went pale and shook in fear.
"I told you, I would help you as long as you left Ron to me. You try to kill him, and all bets are off," Aurion stood there, and the wind picked up. The fires around the docks went out.
"He was in my way," Jean sounded like small child.
"You had time to kill him when you were in a one on one. Couldn't have fired a killing blast then," Aurion glared at him.
"Ganondorf, Chaos get him. Aurion has stood in our way. He keeps saying he going to kill Ron, but every time he has Ron still lives. He lets Ron live, and gets in our way when we tries to kill our targets," Jean glared at Aurion.
"I've got him," Chaos summoned a spear and it started to grow. First it was ten feet, then twenty, then forty, then seventy, then hundred I think the spear head was a skull wearing a straw hat, and two bones crossing it.
"Grah," Ganondorf charged at Aurion as Chaos swung his spear. Aurion didn't even flinch. He grabbed Ganondorf by the head, and slammed him to the ground. Then he caught Chaos's spear like it was nothing.
"Um?" Jean was back to being scared out of his mind.
"Nice tactic, but I saw it coming," Aurion grabbed the spear and swung it. Once he reached full circle, he sent it flying. Holy shit, just holy shit.
"Classic Blast," Jean fired right at Aurion.
"Sacred Art: Counter," Aurion pulled out a book and opened it. Jean's blast went around him, and just disappeared into him. I know that sounds weird, but that's what just happen.
"Um," Jean was scared again.
"I don't think I need to explain what counter does, but I do like to know why you thought that would work. Did you forgot who I am. I'm Aurion Zacks, a dread fighter," Aurion just stared at him. Wait the guy is a dread fighter. I thought he was a grandmaster.
"I thought you were a grandmaster," Jean went even paler.
"Well I'm not. I'm a dread fighter as in anti magic fighter. So you're pretty such done for aren't you? Then again you would have been even if I wasn't. To be fair I'm just gonna let you leave. If you don't well I'm going to fire the classic blast at you, and well you won't survive. And to prove you will die. I'm going to release one of my seals," Aurion held up his hand, and one of his tattooes glowed. "Divine seal level one release,". The part of the tattoo faded, and then a wave of power released. It was intense, and I went down on my knees. I'm pretty sure most of the rest of us fell to our knees. Also I think I hear a splash.
"I hate you," Jean teleported out of the area.
"Thoaria, grab Ganondorf and bring him back. Star, grab your boyfriend and bring him back," Aurion looked at his comrades.
"On it," Star grabbed Chaos, and fly off on her wyvern.
"But I wanted to ride with you," Thoaria grabbed Ganondorf and fled the scene.
"You won't kill Ron again," Cordelia held up her spear.
"Well maybe it would be easier to protect him if he wasn't drowning in the docks," Aurion didn't even look at us. Wait did he say Ron was drowning?
"WAIT," Cordelia looked at him.
"Yeah when I released my seal he went flying into the water. He probably won't last long," Aurion placed his hands into his pockets. Also was there green tendrils of energy going into the ground?
"WHERE IS HE?" Cordelia yelled.
"Follow the energy," Aurion pointed at the green tendrils of energy. Cordelia followed the lines and jumped into the water. Kinda upset I didn't realized my best friend was drowning.
"So you going to kill us?," Dusty looked at him.
"Don't really feel like it, but I can tell you where the shepherds are. Just head west to Mila tree. They're heading there," Aurion grabbed something from his pocket, and pulled out some pocky. He took a bite of it. "I can hear them,".
"Thanks for the information," Erin looked confused.
"I've got Ron," Cordelia walked up with Ron on her shoulders. Sounds like he was coughing up water, but looked ok.
"Alright, I'll be on my way," Aurion turned around and saluted us.
"Aren't you going to fight us?" Charlie looked at him.
"Not in the mood," Aurion disappeared into a light.
"That was confusing it," I shook my head.
"Let's just head to the tree," Noah started walking forward.
"Wait, what about?" Rose spoke up.
"Who?," Olivia looked at her daughter.
"Um nevermind, I lead the way," Rose rode ahead of us.
