The Tale of a Fallen Knight, Savior to the Underworld

Marius Zancale Ul Shasta

Marius was fighting against the Red Knights alongside the humans, Pugilists, and two others on the barren land where the war is taking place. He was wearing armor similar to Vixur's though it was dark blue instead of pitch black and the cape was purple just like Lipia's.

As he was fighting against them, one got lucky and knocked him down by slicing his right arm off. The knight stood over him ready to strike him down, however, the knight was killed by one of the people fighting beside him as he punched the red knight and did a Roundhouse kick knocking his head off.

Iskahn: Leader of the Pugilists guild

"Don't give up! The battle's not over yet!" he said as he grabbed his other hand and pulled him up. He ran back into the fight while Marius grabbed his sword after standing up and charged at the knights with a flurry of attacks. He clutched the area where his arm was cut off due to the damage inflicted on him by the red knight, so he used a potion to heal himself and reattach his arm. Just then, the second person fighting came towards him as she sliced up some more red knights.

Integrity knight: Sheyta Synthesis-Twelve

"You require my assistance?" she asked, "I'm going with Asuna and the others to get Alice! Can you guys take care of things here?" said Marius. Sheyta nodded her head in confirmation. With this battle in good hands he whistled and summoned his dragon Azymondias. The dragon had light blue scales, and white claws with a white tuft on his tail.

"Wait!" someone said. Before he got on his dragon he was approached by a young woman with red hair and yellow highlights with a reddish-copper tanned body who came up to him and kissed him on the lips.

Yotte

"You better come back alive." she said, he grasped her hand saying, "same to you." as he hopped onto his dragon. "Alright Zym, let's go!" he said to the beast lifting into the air.

He flew away from the battlefield toward the area where Asuna and the rest of the humans and knights were, "I'd better hurry`before something bad happens." he said to himself.

He made it to where they were and saw that red knights were surrounding the human army, the knights and Asuna.

"NO!" he shouted in fear. He was going to fly down and fight against the knights to help when all of a sudden a bright light shone from the sky causing him to squint his eyes and look up. From that light flew down a figure with blue hair and a bow.

"Solus?" he questioned himself

Before the Fall

(music: Somnus)

They can take my home

They can take my life

Cut me loose from what we know

But if it's fate…

Then every step will always bring me closer to home

The leader of the dark territory, Emperor Vecta had left

And within this barren land protected by his council of ten

Lies a story about a boy who will reclaim what's his.

A land that fights to one day conquer the human empire, it's emperor has returned after centuries to seek out the priestess of light Alice and conquer the human empire.

Because of this those who opposed him, the commander of the dark knights Vixur and his number two Lipia were killed in their attempts to stop him.

But all was not lost as their disciple vowed to avenge them.

A boy with black hair and dark skin walked outside to find bodies littering the stairs and the entire army of the dark territory facing him led by Dee Eye Ell and the other members of the council of ten. He wore a black hemp short-sleeved shirt and gloves on his hands with black pants and shoes . The soldiers noticed him and readied their weapons.

The boy stepped down the stairs as the dark territory soldiers prepared their arrows and weapons. "Fire!" Dee said, they launched arrows at him, yet were not able to land a single hit. The boy kept walking down the stairs as the arrows were blocked by an unseen force.

He stopped midway down the stairs and summoned a barrage of weapons at his disposal making everyone shocked. The weapons spun around him and he grabbed his sword charging at the enemy. He sliced a few dark knights down while switching between weapons. He jumped on one and slammed his sword into the next knight spinning around him as he shot arrows at the rest, then he jumped on another and snapped his neck using his legs.

The boy then sent his weapons to another group cutting them down instantly. He noticed some goblins trying to rappel down using rope and warped back up the stairs to face them. The knights tried to give chase but were pushed back by the weapons. The boy warped and fell down the side of the castle, then warped in front of a goblin and sliced him down.

He threw his sword to the other side allowing himself to warp to that location free falling as he killed a goblin and sliced a rope causing one to fall. He appeared in front of another one and stabbed straight through the chest. He appeared back at the stairs just as the Mages used fire magic along with the Ogres arrows to kill him. He looked back just as it hit, but for them to no avail as the attack was blocked by his weapons.

My name...is Marius Zancale Ul Shasta...and this is my story

The boy walked back into the castle and sat on the throne letting his head lean on his fist while crossing his legs.

War Of Underworld (alternative): The Tale of Marius

Author's note: hey guys sorry it's been a while I've been focused on other stuff like school since this whole pandemic has gone down so I haven't been getting the flow I need to write stories.

I wanted to make this one because I wanted to give more development to the dark nights like Vixur and Lipia since that a-hole Miller killed them off literally in episode 4. Just so you know, I will continue the Rising of the Keyblade and Shield Hero story, but I just wanted to make this beforehand because of how amazing Alicization is.

Also Yotte will be playing a larger role in the story.

Until then, please review, Stay home, stay safe, and I'll see you guys next time.

Btw the fight scene was reminiscent of the Final Fantasy Versus XIII trailer
