Chapter 75: Battle of Aloiron Mountain
Natsu yawns as he tries to watch the screen in front of him. The Imperial Alliance travels on their large ships, which are big enough to carry the dragons. Soon a rush of noise alerts Natsu to the bridge of the ship.
"What?" Mei stands up as Rhaviel lowers his neck. "The Shadow Alliance have begun attacking Aloiron Mountain. We need to hurry."
"We are already on our way." Rhaviel looks towards the large screen. "Plus, my dragons can handle it."
A frustrated growl occurs nearby. Natsu sees Goku trying to use his instant transmission, but every time he begins to teleport, he stops completely against his will.
"Goku, I doubt you'll be able to use your instant transmission." Tyson waves his fan. "If you could, you would have done it by now."
"Why can't I?" Goku scratches his head. He can sense the energy of the battle and he can even pinpoint his opponents, but he cannot teleport.
"The enemy must have places some sort of barrier." Tyson stands up from his seat. "Perhaps a device to prevent any type of teleportation. I'm afraid we are doing this the long way."
Natsu can see Goku's has drop. He guesses Goku has never been stopped before. Natsu cracks his fingers. He will just have to beat his opponents up first and then reach the leaders. Luckily, they are close by, so he will have his chance soon.
The moment arrives quickly, but the view the Imperial Alliance comes across is horrific. Numerous bodies lay waste to the land. Piles of Shadow Monsters fill the ground, turning it a solid black.
"If only the Shadow Monsters were the only bodies." Shamilth digs her claws into the ground.
A handful of dragons lie dead, surrounded by the dead Shadow Monsters. Nearly ten dragons lie with their bodies filled with wounds and blood seeping through deep gashes.
"We must rush." Rhaviel extends his wings. This many loses in the first line of defense is too much for the dragons. It is a matter of time before Aloiron Mountain falls to the Shadow Alliance.
Numerous explosions occur in the distance. Natsu narrows his eyes, noticing the fire upon Aloiron Mountain. A group of Shadow Monsters travel across the mountainside only for a wave of fire to rain upon them from above. A dragon flies down, grabbing one of the Shadow Monsters and ripping it in half.
"Charge!" Rhaviel and the Dragon army begin to take off, rushing towards the mountain.
Before anyone could react, the dragons shout in pain, as they fall back to the ground.
"An energy field." Wen brushes his beard.
As the dragons regain their flight, Tyson steps forward staring at the barrier.
"It's not a full barrier." Tyson waves his fan. "It's concentrated on preventing flight. Luckily, it leaves ground attacks open. A concentrated barrier is harder to break through than a wide barrier. We don't have time to go through. We must go the long way."
Suddenly, Goku rushes forward smashing into the barrier.
"Seriously Goku!" Numerous people and dragons shout at the saiyan for his action. "He just explained!"
Goku lands on the ground waving his fist due to the strong shock. "Yup, that's really strong."
"Ya think!"
A loud roar draws the attention of the Imperial Alliance. To the south, on the horizon, a large body of Shadow Monsters appear, their glowing red eyes shining brightly.
"Damn! Enemy reinforcements!" Mei swings her chakram. "We must split our forces! We need concentrate on defending Aloiron Mountain and prevent their reinforcements from reaching the mountain!"
The battle of Aloiron Mountain begins for Natsu and Goku.
"We must go with Plan D." Tyson rises his fan. "It's the only plan to survive this battle."
In seconds Goku flies up along with Rhaviel and Shamilth, a large amount of dragons, and Goku's Elite Guards, keeping low to avoid the barrier. Below them, a section of the Imperial forces support from the ground.
The Shadow Monsters roar before launching themselves towards the Imperial and dragon armies.
The other half of the army head towards Aloiron Mountain with Natsu running behind Mei, Tyson, Ator, and Wen. His Elite Guard also keep close. Nearby Huang takes a small group, heading back to the ships.
Soon enough, the forces under Mei reach the base of the mountain having met no resistance. As they begin to travel up the mountain path, they come across the numerous dead bodies of Shadow Monsters and a fee dragons here and there.
Suddenly, Mei raises her hand, stopping the entire army behind her. Natsu sniffs the air and notices a foul odor nearby. A group of Shadow Monsters rush from the sides of the mountains attacking the Imperial Alliance from the sides. Luckily, the alliance reacts quickly enough to position themselves into defense.
On the other front, Rhaviel's group continue to battle the Shadow Monsters. Goku charges forward, unleashing a barrage of energy attacks. Behind him Tonis and Helena attack a group of monsters, clearing a way for Imperial soldiers to rush forward and strike the weaken formation of the Shadow Monsters. Leopold and Rolando join the attack, unleashing a barrage of attacks.
"Lord Rhaviel!" A dragon alerts the king, who turns to the east.
Nirav stands in front of an army of Maki soldiers, each well ready for battle. Nirav raises his short sword stating loudly the need to win the battle to ensure the survival of the Maki Kingdom.
"Shamilth! Create a line of defense to the east! We cannot be surrounded!" Rhaviel flaps his wings, rising as high as he can trying to take a view of the enemy.
The alliance begins to move, but a roar to the north draws the dragon's attention. Lyth flies low as another army of Shadow Monsters walk over the hill. Unlike the monsters they have been fighting, the Shadow Monsters behind Lyth are radiating tremendous power.
Goku lands on the ground, taking note of the army north. He feels the raw power behind this particular group of Shadow Monsters. It sends shivers down his spine, but he shakes it off. Soon his arms develop goosebumps, a slight smirk on his face. This will be an interesting fight and he going to meet it with all his strength.
"See the puny fools trying to defend the mountain. We come to destroy them! For years we Shadow Monsters have been used like tools. Not today! Today we prove we are more than followers! Today, we show our might! Attack the Imperial and dragon armies! Destroy them all!"
The Shadow Monsters roar as they begin to charge down the hill. Goku lifts himself from the ground unleashing a small, but noticeable amount of energy. He will face this threat and the army behind him will follow. Goku charges as members of the Imperial Alliance follow.
At the mountain, Mei's forces begin to push through the Shadow Monsters, breaking apart their defense line.
"Keep going!" Mei raises her chakrams after cutting the throat of a Shadow bull.
Fired up, the Imperial and dragon alliance charge forward. Natsu rushes, striking a group of Shadow Monsters. However, area around him darkens. He gazes around trying to find the source of the shadow.
"Natsu, watch out!" Conan tries to rush to Natsu, but stops as a shadow bear attacks.
Natsu feels a presence above him, causing him to look up. He turns to the right runs as quickly as he can. Seconds later, Zlusog lands causing the entire area to shake and rumble.
"Mei!" Wen begins to make his way to Mei, who stumbles due to the shockwave.
Zlusog slams it's hand down, forcing Wen back. It begins to swing it's hand, smacking Wen, who lands near Natsu.
Natsu shakes his head. The force of the shockwave knocked the wind out of him. Gathering his thoughts, he looks up as Zlusog begins to gather energy. Natsu grinds his teeth as flames begin to emit from his hands. He cannot allow this beast to continue attacking his allies.
Standing up, Natsu erupts in flames before he charges at Zlusog. After taking a deep inhale, he releases his breath, unleashing a large wave of flames. The attack hits Zlusog, causing the golem to roar. Natsu smirks as the flames spread, but soon Zlusog smirks, as Natsu's eyes widen.
Zlusog smacks the ground, causing the mountain ground to crack openly.
"Crap!" Natsu tries to keep himself up, but he falls into the large crack.
"Natsu!" Conan tries to reach for Natsu, but a funk of rock smacks him.
Sean, Eliot, and Wu try to help, but the ground crumbles beneath them.
"Everyone brace yourselves!" Wen tries to keep his balance, but also falls victim to the collapsing ground.
For moments, all Natsu can see is dust and rock. His vision is blurry and his hearing muffled. Trying to stand up, Natsu repeatedly falls back to the ground. Little by little his hearing returns to normal, he can hear a familiar voice. He sees the foot of someone nearby and reacts by thrusting a punch, but only strikes air. As he loses balance again, the figure grabs him and holds him up.
"Nat…"
"What?" Natsu tries to listen carefully, but once again the voice is muffled.
"…su… hear…"
As his vision returns slightly, he recognizes the figure as Sean, who waves his hands in front of Natsu.
"Nat… can… hear me?" Natsu follows Sean's hand.
Shaking his head a bit, Natsu begins to take note of his surrounding. Large chunks of rock lay across the entire area. He notices numerous bodies laying across the rubble though he cannot tell if they are alive or dead.
"Natsu…you hear me now?" Sean snaps his fingers in front of Natsu.
"Yeah." Natsu lifts himself off Sean's arm, standing himself up.
"You guys are alive. Thought you died." Conan appears around a large chunk of rock.
Behind him, Eliot and Wu walk around as well.
"Some of us survived that." Wen walks out, traces of blood coming from his forehead.
A decent amount of soldiers begin to approach the small group, as they head towards the fallen soldiers.
"I need a report of our living, dead, and wounded!" Wen raises his arms towards the rocks.
Soon the soldiers rush forward, checking the fallen bodies and trying to dig out bodies from the rubble.
"The barrier will prevent us from getting back up. We will have to take another route to the shrine." Wen wipes the blood off his forehead with a cloth.
Natsu gazes up, trying to view any signs of battle, but they have fallen quite a way down. He clenches his teeth as a surge of pain rushes through his body. Kneeling to the ground, he sees the bead bodies of his Elite Guards. However, He also sees something dreadful. The bodies of his fellow knight's Elite Guards also lay next to them. Their eyes white as snow with blood dripping down their mouths.
Before Natsu can react, he notices seven figures standing on top of the dead bodies. He is unable to tell who they are, but the evil radiating from them can only tell him they are the Demonic Legion. He will not let them kill his friends.
Grabbing his head, Natsu shakes it furiously as if trying to erase the images from his head.
"Natsu?" Conan places his hand on Natsu's shoulder. " You okay?"
"Yeah." Natsu takes a deep breath. He cannot let these images interfere. He gazes at the only path to the mountain. He will make sure the Ancient Lord remains in its cage. He will defeat the Shadow Alliance.
This battle is far from over.
