Roxas fell down hopelessly onto the ground, shaking in pain. Artemis used his Air magic to brush off the DH away, and he kneeled by Roxas.
"I guess this is it, for me anyways." Roxas said. Artemis scrambled through his inventory, though, Roxas grabbed him by the wrist and said, "Please don't, I'm done now."
"That's crazy, you can't just die like this." Artemis said.
"Look around my empire, it's being destroyed, I sure as hell can't stop it." Roxas said.
"Yeah, not alone, we're here now so at least you have a winning chance." Artemis said.
"No! Just let me be, I said I'm done so I'm done." Roxas said, looking down. Artemis looked upset, but Roxas then said, "It's what I ask, so I also ask that you don't get upset over what I want, I'm done, the least you could do is save the rest if these people."
Artemis sighed and got up, Roxas waved at Artemis before his avatar fell into eternal sleep. Artemis looked to the destruction happening all around him, and growled furiously and sent a telepathic message over to Oblivion telling him to get everyone to round up the citizens of KOTFM to safety, and also to run DH out of the empire.
Artemis decided it was time to create a new pair of swords which would destroy all in his path. He drew a pair of two handed swords out of the storage realm he created all of his weapons and armor. The first one he drew was a black edged sword, with a glowing fire red centre, that extended down the entire blade. The other blade he drew was identical, but instead of a red centre, it had a midnight purple centre.
"Come at me mother fuckers!" Artemis screamed at the crowd, and he then realized that he wasn't able to take on a horde this size without dragon mode. He then grew black dragon wings, and surrounded his entire body with fire.
Oblivion saw this, and surrounded himself with wind magic, like a hurricane that he sat in the centre of. He began sending out constant wind blasts, killing many of his enemies, he stopped the spell and drew his sword, along with his shield and charged into the fray, slashing his sword at one man, while his shield blocked a strike from the other side, he noticed an explosion off to the side and watched as Artemis destroyed a huge amount of the invading forces with several fire blasts. He saw that beside Artemis was the dead body of his friend, Roxas, and he lost it. While Oblivion was not looking, Artemis had cast a spell, that had given him the status of Godborn, although Oblivion could tell something was different when Artemis changed his status, and he blacked out as his body worked on it's own, effectively destroying a large amount of the men surrounding him.
Artemis smiled, he knew that he would unlock his true power soon, and knew it would soon be time to cast him into the realm of Oblivion, to make him fight for lordship over that realm of existence. He knew however that he had no control of himself, and he needed to get him under control as soon as possible, and he smashed through Oblivion's shield of wind surrounding him, and smiled as he cast a sleep spell unto him, instantly curing the problem.
Artemis then turned back to the more immediate problem which is the army that still was burning the smaller capital to the ground. He drew his blades, and charged, sliding under a swipe at his throat, turning as he stopped and swiped Hellfire across the man's back, spinning, he sent his heel into one opponent's jaw, then as he fell, Artemis stabbed shadow through his back, piercing his heart, and it drank the life force that was quickly leaving the man.
Nero was having the time of his life, swinging his gravity hammer to and fro, smashing away any who drew near, and he loved every moment of it, seeing his enemies flying away from his weapon.
The retreating citizens watched in awe as the SWC quickly turned the tables against the enemy, but then they saw a large group of DH members being chased into town by a large demon, and that demon turned out to be the end boss, and as no one was high enough level to compete against it, Artemis ordered a retreat and had the KOTFM capital abandoned.
Arthegus was among the villagers, and he saw how composed Artemis was in leading his friends and troops into battle, and he realized then, they no longer had a home, and their guild leader was dead, and here Artemis was, fighting for the home they once had, but as the tables quickly turned in the enemy's favor, Arthegus saw how grudging Artemis was in leaving his old friends home behind.
Oblivion walked towards Artemis and told him, "True, we may have evacuated the capital, and we have the materials to expand, but the DH guild was going to head to SWC after, or so we must be heading there as soon as possible."
"I understand." Artemis said simply. He then ordered to his own troops, glancing at Arthegus to make a decision of his own, to move out back to the SWC Headquarters.
Arthegus quickly decided to join the SWC in battle, and they soon were rested enough to start moving.
As they left, they saw the DH guild leaving the base in a rush, "Well, I wonder where they are off to," Artemis said.
"Who knows, but I bet it's gonna be bad for us." Oblivion replied.
They reached the top of the hill overlooking the capital of SWC, and looked on in horror as they saw the capital under attack from a separate army, and watched as the army that attacked the KOTFM capital joined with the main raiding group.
"Those bastards!" Artemis exclaimed.
"We leave for only a few hours and we come back to this shit?!" Nero screamed furiously.
They charged down the hill towards the city, and enter through a secret entrance to the city around the back side of the city.
Artemis quickly realized that the citizens of SWC were fighting back, and Artemis thanked himself for his decision to train all the citizens who could fight.
He then saw Leafa leading the defence force and he ran up to her, ducking under her blade as she reacted out of shock.
"Woah, that was close." Artemis laughed as he blocked a few strikes from one of the enemies attacking Leafa.
"Sorry I thought you were an enemy." She apologized, as she began defending herself once again.
Artemis cut down his own opponent with ease, slashing his sword across the man's thigh, before smashing Shadow into his skull, "It's all good, where are the kids?"
Leafa looked at him, "Due to the number of enemies, they are fighting, but they are being protected by the guards, so we shouldn't worry."
Artemis frowned, "They are my kids, so I will worry, aren't you worried?"
"Of course I am, I'm just trying to not think about it." Leafa replied as she stabbed her last remaining attacker.
"I'm heading into the battle-" Artemis was cut off as a beam of energy sliced through the air beside him, and he looked towards the direction from which the beam came and couldn't believe his eyes.
"Brandon…" Artemis sighed and he watched as his friend, dressed in a grey cloak, wielding a longsword in his right hand and in his left was a black staff with a sky blue crescent moon nestled on the top it.
He was blasting his many foes to pieces, sending lasers at every enemy in sight. Brandon looked at Artemis and smirked, laughed and then went back to his laser show.
"Nevermind, you got it out here, I see fighting at the Headquarters, so I'll head there." Artemis laughed as he watched Brandon do a little dance, all while shooting lasers at every DH member that moved.
As Artemis climbed the steps to the Headquarters, he dispatched many of the DH members that were currently attacking the base, and when he reached the top he stabbed the last man in front of him, and entered the building.
In front of him were his two cowering children, Sinon, who was lowering her bow as she realized who he was, and a girl he had never seen before, who looked at him in slight fear, before steadying herself, she was wearing a pair of dark purple knee-high boots with magenta straps around her legs. A dark purple mini-skirt laced with magenta straps with four flaps coming down shaped like bat wings. A purple and magenta strapless sports bra with a cross design in the center and a frilly collar with dark purple long sleeves with a magenta three pronged circle pattern at the ends. Her hair was dyed purple and they were tied in pigtails. She was pointing a purple staff which had a black gem at the top with a bat resting on top of it, at Artemis, however right before she cast a spell, Sinon rushed up to him, turned to block any incoming strikes, her arms wide, "This is our guild leader, please don't hurt him, he's a dear friend of mine, and has saved me on multiple occasions."
The girl reluctantly lowered her staff, and Artemis walked up to her, which caused her to raise her staff, not at him, but in a defensive stance.
"What's your name?" Artemis asked softly, meaning to assure her that she was in no danger.
"The names Ellerin," She said hesitantly.
"Nice to meet you, I've never seen you around here, not even in the hotel's that are in the city me and my friends built." Artemis questioned.
"Why aren't you defending the city?" Ellerin asked.
"They have it out there, but when I saw fighting over here, I decided to join and fight, and now that I'm here, I don't think I should leave, especially when my kids are here." Artemis replied.
Ellerin sighed in defeat, and saw Artemis turn swiftly towards the door, and draw his blades. Just then the door slammed open and a wave of DH members flowed through.
"Well this just became interesting." Artemis said smirking.
"I'll summon something to aid us in battle!" Ellerin stated frantically.
Artemis looked at her in a confused manner before turning back to his enemies. As soon as the incantation was finished, the re-closed door was slammed open, causing everyone to look in the direction of the door, only to see a figure with what looked like armor, the cracks glowing a dark purple. The figure was carrying a dark grey hammer surrounded in black flames and a pack full of what looked like weapons, as he entered he called out, "Honey I'm home!"
