Chapter 1: The Gathering of Many Allies
Ajei and Oryox soon had themselves ready in secret while their friends are fast asleep as the sun slowly sets and they decided to avoid breaking their innocence from being lost any further and planned to return to the forest with a handful of Oryox loyalist's with him as protection from anyone threatening to kill them. Ajei wore his armor that he wore in the battle in Detroit months earlier and Oryox wore a robe with no hood but had a secret armor underneath his clothing.
They both go outside with Oryox's followers were sitting down and got up when they were present "men rifles up and eyes on front lads!" a soldier yelled amongst the men getting up and the sounds of objects shuffling on the ground. Ajei cleared his throat and spoke to the silent platoon "we are going back to the area where a mysterious man and his underlings attack a squad of researchers of Oryox and they fled as a few of them were killed by the clash. The mission: we must push back the enemy! They were spotted in the forest a few miles away from this academy and as we speak they are marching" Ajei said and urged the men to be serious.
Oryox asked of his men of the mission "the enemy is large and have great equipment meant for one purpose and that is to destroy an entire kingdom to its knees. Our job is to destroy these weapons and in the end try to take as much enemy lives as we can" Oryox said but a few men were discouraged where one questioned him "Oryox my lord but we here alone in this platoon are only 150 men with only 110 people of the 150 people here are armed and the other remaining number of men have no guns but spells" he said and was concerned about the weaponry they had.
Oryox was not worried and smiled "exactly the 40 soldiers who are not armed are experts of jutsu's and spells that are capable of devastating their forces of Morgoth and hit him where he never knew what hit him" Oryox mocked the dark lord which a few men laughed at his mocking. Ajej raised his saber and pointed to their route "Operation Infiltration Wolves is a go!" Ajei shouted and the men march to the forest.
(on top of the academy: Ozpin's office)
Ozpin was looking at the small platoon that Ajei and Oryox went as Glynda came in with a piece of paper containing the picture of the army that Morgoth had sent to destroy Vale "Ajei and Oryox are walking into a trap" Glynda said with unease that the two leaders were fighting a large quantity of men against only 150 vs thousands of men but Ozpin had faith in both of them "you don't have to worry about that. I have a secret force of fallen hiding from there watching over them and to help them if the time ever calls for them to have some assistance" Ozpin said and took a sip of his coffee and called someone on his scroll "yes General Ironwood. Prepare your robot platoon. Ajei and Oryox are meeting the enemy at the forest" Ozpin said and hung up.
(in the forest)
Ajei and Oryox walked slowly to enemy territory and tip toed their way to the peaceful forest and looked around for any snipers or the camp itself "how many are these weapons do they have strong enough to destroy Vale?" a soldier asked and Oryox replied to him with seriousness "they have 6 rams for breaking down large doors, 3 heavy cannons that can destroy an entire block for each shell shot, and have one nuke to trigger at the academy" Oryox said and a couple of men gasp "damn" and "what" were the comments of many men amongst their ranks.
Ajei didn't like the idea of using nukes on cities since it kills many people and would result in other nations and universes making their own nuclear arms arsenal so he was more than happy to get rid of the bombs "we will stop them men just believe in yourselves" Ajei said and advised the men as they crossed many miles unaware another force of the allies were watching them a couple of kilometers away from them.
Oryox was looking around when his enhanced ears picked up a large bundle of footsteps were rumbling in his ear. Oryox motions the men to crouch and look around. Oryox makes a few hand signs and chants "Nature Style: Deep Forest Breath of Death!" Oryox chanted and a green bog of fog goes towards the enemy he spots who are a river away from them.
The enemy were exposed to being spotted and noticed a bog overtakes them and coughs and chocking are constantly being heard by the small Allied Forces as they watched the scene unfold. One by one many of the enemy group dropped like bugs and they soon subside their coughs and laid dead.
Ajei and the army march to the other side of the river and looked at them "these are the enemies all right" a soldier said and took dead soldiers rifle as an extra while another one looted a dead corpse of its equipment. Ajei and Oryox soon got the men moving again.
Hours later, they see the enemy marching and saw the siege equipment. Ajei motioned Oryox's men to start their rocket launchers at them enemy. 6 men equipped with RPG's readied and pointed their rockets at the siege equipment "ready?" Oryox said and the 6 nod. Oryox raised his arm for a signal to fire "aim?" Oryox said to make sure the platoon had their aims pointed properly at the siege weapons "fire!" Oryox yelled and they fired their rockets.
The rockets whiz in the air and blow up a huge portions of the enemy where a lot of men go flying in the air screaming and landed in the ground either dead or hurt. The enemy scrambles and fires randomly everywhere missing the small platoon of Oryox and Ajei. Ajei signals fire to the platoon and soon they hail bullets on the disarrayed men as they still scramble for cover and some notice the group and fired at them.
Ajei and Oryox began to lose a few men from the gunfire they are caught in and continued to fire "hold this point lads!" Ajei yelled and fired also with his rifle.
(2 hours later)
Ajei and Oryox had only 70 men left as they ran and hide behind trees and rocks to kill a few men who chased them and ran again to avoid being encircled or get caught. Ajei and Oryox were running together along with a few soldiers who were providing cover fire for them but they get killed moments later. Ajei and Oryox run fast when Ajei was shot in the right in the leg. Ajei winches in pain from his wound. Oryox grabs him and hung his left arm to his shoulders "come on Ajei just hold on!" Oryox yelled at Ajei as he limps painfully.
(another 2 hours later)
The group is scattered and only a few are left as Ajei and Oryox hid behind a rock hiding without drawing any of the enemy to their spot "damn it" Oryox cursed and draw his new gun's magazine and Ajei was still winching in pain. Oryox stops his reloading and decided to use his potions but Ajei grabs Oryox's hand "use your jutsu Oryox to heal my leg" Ajei suggested while Oryox wide eyed "i swore to never use dark magic" Oryox said sadly but Ajei tells him wisely "you just don't believe in yourself and just let the darkness tell you otherwise Oryox. Use your magic for good" Ajei said and winched again.
Oryox surprised of Ajei's wisdom and used his powers to heal Ajei but instead of the black aura or mist emitting from his hand the usual was replaced with white mist circling around the gunshot wound was immediately healed up. Ajei was speechless from Oryox's aura and decided not to talk to him about it and was smiling mentally on the inside for Oryox's change of aura.
Oryox returns to his rifle and fully loaded his gun and looked around before Oryox told Ajei that they needed to move. Ajei gets up without any pain whatsoever and both sneaked behind enemy lines and taking out a few unsuspecting men along the way to clear a path.
(somewhere in the forest)
A few of Oryox's men were walking around foolishly and loudly calling for their leaders "damn it boys" one said with despair "oh this is not good" another clamored with disappointment "not good" a soldier said hoping for their commanders "we are screwed!" the second clamored again and a shot abrupt their little dismay and the group saw a small group of Morgoth troops "ah did the rabbit fell in the hole?" he mockingly asked the scared servants out of their wits. The enemy group laughs and snicker at the defenseless men.
"how about we put these rabbit back in their place shall we guys?" the leader asked his men as they point their rifles towards them. The servants had no choice but to draw their guns also in retaliation "you know you're outnumbered right?" the leader still showing no pity "well it's either live hard, die young or die too late" the scared soldier said and cocked his rifle.
The men snicker again and were about to pull triggers when a roar from above was heard. Both sides look up to see Yang diving down and punch the ground making a crater and the Morgoth soldier were flying in all directions before Yang's eyes turn from red to lilac purple eyes.
The men bowed and said her name in a formal way "Ms. Long" the soldier flinched and twitched at the presence of the huntress. Yang turns to the group of Oryox's men "hey uh guys where's Oryox and Ajei?" Yang asked noticing their absence "we don't know we got separated from our lords. Ms. Long where's your reinforcements?" another shy soldier asked when the rest of team RWBY and JNPR appear behind her "oh its so good to see you sir's and ma'am's" the soldiers again bow down.
Ruby crouches down to the leader of the rescued group and asked the same thing when her older sister told her what they told her "they decided to not tell you girls the mission since Oryox and Ajei didn't want you to be back in the flames of violence my ladies and lords" the soldier said and cocked his gun.
Blake and Weiss were saddened that Ajei didn't tell them but understood his reasoning. Pyrrha and Nora weren't sure why Oryox would not tell them but soon understood his reasoning as the Oryox troops led them deep into enemy territory.
(back to Ajei and Oryox)
Ajei and Oryox were sneaking almost close to the safe point of the forest when a bullet hit Oryox in the head and got back up to reveal Oryox fine because his camouflaged skinned helmet was removed from his forehead "hide here" Ajei said and they looked around the forest "damn where is that little snake?" Oryox said and crawled slowly to open his guns tripods to pin on the ground and look for the sniper firing at them.
Another shot whizzes through the air and makes a scratch mark on Ajei's cheek. Ajei frozen for a moment and realized when he used his pointy and middle fingers to touch the bleeding scratch wound. Ajei shrugs it off and continued to look for the sniper. Silence was in the air as the birds chirps were the only noise beside's slow breaths of Ajei and Oryox scouted around the trees. Ajei was close to using infrared scope when he noticed a glimmer of light reflection kilometers away from him and looked at his scope.
Ajei sees a Morgoth soldier with a camo uniform looking at Oryox and he reacted fast and shot the soldier in the chest. He falls down and Oryox walks to the dead soldier and shot him twice "freaking amateurs" Oryox said and spat on him. Ajei looks around because Oryox fired his gun impulsively "you fired your gun when it was unnecessary to do so Oryox" Ajei scolded him due to his behavior.
Oryox then apologized and they run away hoping to get away from the advancing dark horde. Ajei sees a large group of fallen in front of them and thought they were working for Morgoth and both decided to sneak when a woman called to them "Ajei! Oryox!" Ajei and Oryox stood still and looked to see Glynda waving and they run towards the woman.
Glynda sees them and held Ajei's cheek to comfort him and see both of their wounds "what happened to the platoon?" she asked worryingly "we destroyed the siege equipment and some of their forces but we got scattered when they chased us. Most lives were lost but i'm not sure if any are left Ms. Glynda" Ajei informed the teacher and Oryox looked back to the forest "Ms. Glynda please don't tell me that Ruby and the others are here?" Oryox hoping that they weren't here.
Glynda closed her eyes and said to Oryox with sad news "they came here after they heard you and Ajei went to the forest here and came here with General Ironwood-" but Ajei interrupts her "wait General Ironwood is here?" Ajei asked concerned 'yes he's currently engaging forces a few kilometers here-" but Ajei starts to run and Oryox had worry and angst "what's wrong Oryox?" Glynda asked him and he looked at her like he ran over a cat.
"Morgoth has a larger force then we've anticipated" Oryox said and ran. Glynda stood for a moment before ordering the fallen army that had swore to serve her and made haste to General Ironwood.
(General Ironwood)
He had a hard time even with his robot army which was dropping fast due to the enemy's quick organizing attacks against his forces and Ironwood was firing his gun also in which he had to help the robots to at least take a few hundred men down before retreating. A human soldier runs to him scared "General what are we going to do? we're outnumbered and outgunned!" he shouted when he was shot in the chest and he falls flat on his back. General Ironwood orders his men to retreat when a loud whiz goes overhead over Ironwood before an explosion blows up the enemy as they scream in agony.
Ironwood turns his gun to the back of him as the robots do so and see Ajei, Oryox, and Glynda who had the fallen army follow her "oh thank goodness you came with reinforcements" Ironwood said and Oryox salutes and Ajei bows. Glynda approaches him "where are the girls James?" Glynda asked and James sighs "they went ahead just before these goons appeared out of nowhere" Ironwood said and notice Ajei looking a dead body "what are you looking at Ajei?" Ironwood curiously asked the young king "it appears they have resorted to gurellia warfare" Ajei looked a removed a piece of shoulder guard from the dead soldier.
Glynda and Ironwood looked at him weirdly "what do you think you're doing with that?" Ironwood asked with skepticism in his voice. Ajei shows no face of discontent and showed them the shoulder guard which had dates on it "their armor is weakened from the years this armor has endured without repairs and maintenance to their armor, so you'll have no problem taking out large forces as long as you don't get surrounded by them" Ajei said and slammed the shoulder guard in anger scaring Glynda and Ironwood stood still "do you realize what you done right now?" Ajei asked Ironwood who was lost for words as Ajei glared at the commander.
Ajei scoffed due to the lack for an answer and told him "you just led 2 teams to being surrounded!" Ajei yelled and ran to get to the young hunters and huntresses. They all follow as Ajei was thinking in his head "please be all right" Ajei begged and ran faster.
Chapter 2: Darkness vs Demons
Galerog was talking to Rias brother brother about Morgoth's incoming forces that would soon come "Sirzechs, the enemy is moving. They are fixated on destroying the demon factions of this world since they know about the sacred gears and their importance to us" Galerog told Sirzechs to strengthen his forces "but it'll take time Galerog an-" but Galerog interjects him "we still have the fallen group we have after the little scrimmage from a couple of renegade fallen i killed a few weeks ago" Galerog said and hope he'll accept his answer to defend until Sirzech can gather a full force until then "ok how many are we talking about that will lay waste to our world?" he asked.
Galerog took a moment and said to him sadly "everything. The women would be used for their pleasures and the men would be slaves to them until they are dead" Galerog said and pointed a place "which is why i'll meet them here" he pointed to a uncharted forest that was not populated by anyone "why there? there'e absolutely no one there" Sirzechs said and Galerog had known military plans despite him only killing monsters for a living but learned a few military tactics along the way.
"they know that morale matters in the dark forces so they need to rest. I had a few fallen scout around the forests and kept track of them for a week now" Galerog showed a picture of the army that was long that the back part of the army was so small to see and take a close look "how many?" Sirzech asked not expecting to see the picture and to see a large force on the picture "from what i heard from my scouts, i'd say 50,000 men camping right now" Galerog said and was looking at his rifle.
Sirzechs had asked Galerog to leave so that he can think for a moment. Galerog leaves the room and Sirzech's loyal friend Saladra came in from the darkness. He had orange hair that was bright enough to be a bright orange, his armor was a mix of metal and leather, and a purple robe that covered his entire body except his neck "that went well Sirzech's" Saladra said and held his sword hidden in his robe.
"yes, Galerog is dragging himself to death for us" Sirzechs said and was worried that he would be killed if he went to fight "don't worry about Galerog from what i heard from people, he would not be easily killed" Saladra assured the great devil lucifer lord "yes i guess i should believe in him more then" Sirzech saying honestly "whatever happens my lord, i would gladly die for the sake of the Gremory family" Saladra swore him an oath to always die for him.
Sirzech smiles at his cheering in spirits "yes thank you Saladra. You sure bring spirit morale back up every so often" Sirzech said and put his hand on his shoulder "no problem my lord" Saladra saluted and disappeared via shadow. Sirzech fixes his attire before calling Galerog "come in" he said and Galerog came in and stood still "what's your decision Sirzechs?" Galerog eager to start the operation "i have came to a decision and i would like for you to stop them at all cost Galerog" he said and bowed.
Galerog had his arms on his shoulders "please lord Sirzech's. You don't need to bow to me" Galerog telling him and Sirzech got up and looked at him "i'm a hunter doing his job and i intend to fulfill my duty as a hero" Galerog pulls his hands away and got his gear ready "i'll be sure to get rid of the barbarians away" Galerog spoke patriotically and left. Sirzech smiles gleefully and disappeared via magic circle.
(somewhere in the forest with the enemy)
Galerog had arrived in the allied forces frontlines while his lovers were defending the town if any got in the defenses in the frontlines. Galerog walked through the bustling camp as men were prepping for the battle that was to ensue one way or another in his fight. Galerog shouts to the men as he was in the middle of the camp "line up!" Galerog yelled and the men line up and gather around the hunter.
Galerog looks to the young crowd of Belo, Fallen, and some devils that Sirzechs provided after his meeting with him "today you shall prove yourselves right here right now by fighting alongside me and everyone. If you're here for honor, for love, for the universe that birthed you, for money i don't care as long as you fight!" Galerog made a speech to the men who were between 17-32 year olds. The men nod and some shout in agreement "this is the day where we give back the universe who gave us purpose and love, so in return we shall die and give our freedom to the next generation of Belo's and the universes offsprings!" Galerog yelled some more and the army cheered vigorously with swords, spears, knives, axes, and of course guns were held high.
Galerog then got on his horse and led the men for war. The allied forces marched hastily and with hyper energy for the fight since they have now been filled with purpose and meaning to die for the innocent.
(the battlefield)
Galerog soon saw the forces ready to fight against him. Galerog turns his horse to his men who saw the field and were showing no hint of fear nor death "men this is it! are you ready to die for the sake of the universe?!" Galerog asked his men one last time and charged with his horse. The army shouts and screams violently and charged with weapons at hand ready to engage the enemy. Morgoth's forces charges along with a few war beasts dashed through its own masters and the clash of metal to another emits as both sides now were fight in the middle.
Galerog happens to be caught in the middle as he runs in the crowded fighting slashing a mans back and was pushed by a follower of Morgoth with his broad shield. Galerog lands on a enemy as Galerog slits the mans chest and got up. Galerog throws his one sword of his left to a enemy as he was going to impale a fellow soldier with a wooden stake and the sword impales through the mans right arm where the elbow was located. The scared soldier got up and impales the injured enemy with his own stake and he grunts before going limp.
The soldier looks at Galerog who nods and continued to slash enemies and the soldier grabbed a soldier from behind and threw him down to the dirty bloodied and impales the man with his dagger.
Men upon men perished as the fight continues on for what seemed like hours. A allied soldier tries to kill him with his axe when his would be dead enemy dodged the edge of the axe and slashed his stomach and his back only to get stabbed through the heart by another allied soldier. An enemy kills a few with his fire spell but his own war beast ate him alive amidst the battle and slaughter of many men. A young man fell on the ground after being pushed from behind and got up only to have his left hand smashed by a large foot of an enemy.
He screams in pain and pierced the bulky enemy's chest as he dies and the soldiers left arm was bleeding and he continued to fight despite him losing a lot of blood. The battle was a stalemate as both sides still fought but both sides were tired and a loud horn interrupt their fighting. The enemy retreats and the allies looked at each other for an answer "there retreating to recover and to rest, so lets clean up the mess" Galerog said and the allied forces started to clean up the dead and weapons around the field.
(in camp)
The camp was filled with injured and dying men were everywhere. The young man who had his hand cut off looked around the camp that filled it with groans and moans of pain as he looked for a nearby doctor. A female doctor sees the man and rushes to him "oh thank goodness you came here. It you bled a couple of more minutes would have you lying on the ground young man" she said and dragged him to sit down.
She put alcohol on the stump of his arm which the left hand used to have. He flinches and gritted his teeth from his amputated hand. She wraps a bandage around it and tells him "the alcohol i put enables it to rebuild a new hand so wait within a month before you remove that bandage boy" she told the boy seriously. The young man nods and gets up "wait the least you can do is rest boy!" she demanded and the man lies down on a bed before succumbing to his tired state.
Galerog walked around camp and told his men "keep an eye out for the enemy!" he yelled over and over again so that the men can keep on guard. Galerog receives a report from a soldier and he was depressed with the casualties today.
Allied Forces:2,200 dead, 6,400 wounded, and 1,200 critically injured.
Morgoth Forces: 6,000 dead, unknown number of wounded, and unknown critically injured.
Galerog only wiped a dent of his forces and a fraction of his forces was dead. A lone soldier goes to Galerog with two cups at hand and spoke to the depressed hunter "here's a cup of water Heneral" he said and called him general in Spanish. Galerog drinks the cup offered to him and felt a bit refreshed "what do you think the enemy is going to do?" he asked Galerog with worry "they'll try to charge again tomorrow so prepare some men for tonight in case if any enemy tries to spy on the camp" Galerog commanded and he gave him back the cup "thanks for the water" Galerog thanked and left to his tent.
(Galerog's tent)
Galerog was looking at the map to see any possible weak spots in the area they are at. Galerog notices in the map where a small crossable river was seen not far from where they camped is an easy route to flank the left side of his camp and ran to a nearby commander.
Galerog ran through the camp to find one of his superiors about the river. He soon reaches a commanders tent and saw him sitting down on his bed "hey um i want you to prepare some men tomorrow in here" Galerog pointed in the map he brought with him "ok General Galerog sir" he saluted and left to gather some men.
Galerog leaves the commanders tent and went back to his tent. He removes his armored attire and laid down his bed and slept through the night worrying about his lovers.
(in town)
Koneko and Xenovia were looking around town to see around town and were worried for Galerog since he's the front seat person to experience the fighting and if he were to fail, The towns defenders would be the ones to take down as many as they could until reinforcements came. "I'm worried about Galerog Xenovia" Koneko said and she had her hands on her chest feeling angst and was comforted by Xenovia "don't worry Galerog is a tough cookie. He can beat the enemy and be in our arms once again" Xenovia said and she was lonely herself.
Koneko nods and yawned "tired?" Xenovia asked and she again nod. They both went back to base and hope to see Galerog in one piece.
The war so far has been a series of stalemates and many lives are killed but the fight would be far from being done as a certain recent revolutionized world would be invaded with savage numbers.
Chapter 3: The Great Raid of The Invasion
Toulgma was watching a battle over a hill as his team Night Raid was killing Morgoth's forces after he received a message from Ajei about Morgoth plotting to overwhelm the enemy. Morgoth's forces here were easily defeating the locals since they did just came from a revolt and many were just trying to live their lives and now another war threatens the exact peace Night Raid is seeking.
Toulgma got his half of a force ready "prepare for a n all out charge on the enemy" he said to a local fallen lord who obeys and chants in fallen language saying to his to charge. They shout and ran down the hill to join up with the others in the fighting. Toulgma himself charges with a few swords men at his side and ran fast.
(in the forest)
Night Raid was clearing the forest of hiding followers in the forest. Najenda impales a follower through his chest with a spear to the ground where he laid and kills him and looks around with Leone. Akame, Tatsumi, and Mine were scouting around the burning forest as they encountered groups of men clumped on a spot and slaughtered them. Lubbock, Chelsea, and Sussano mowed down any fleeing men trying to send back the word of their victory "that's the last of them" Lubbock repairing his imperial arms.
Chelsea was busy looking down on a dead allied fallen whose chest were ribbon cut and his face show a petrified expression while she sucked on a lollipop "it's sad to see these fallen die so young" she said to Sussano who puts his hand on her shoulder to comfort her "i'm sure he knew the risks and died proud a free man" Sussano said emotionlessly and closed the fallen's open eyes and mouth to at least look like he had died peacefully.
Toulgma arrives at the field of battle with his militia and a few prisoners "mission accomplished. I have brought ourselves a few prisoners here for us to interrogate" Toulgma walked to Najenda who accepts his embrace and kissed him "ah sweetheart. Its good to feel your embrace once again" he said and Najenda smiles "you just like me for my body" she teased and hugged him.
Lubbock took one of the prisoners and asked him "not the kind of outcome you expected eh?" he asked the clearly mentally defeated follower. Lubbock smirks and punches him with the followers teeth fell on the ground "where's your boss?!" he asked loudly this time. The follower laughs hysterically and turns his neck irregularly and snaps his neck killing him.
The group gasps and Chelseas threw up impulsively from the followers disgusting act of protecting his bosses location "damnit again with these guys alway's killing themselves" Lubnock disappointed in himself to his lack of stopping him from killing himself. Toulgma pats his back "its ok Lubbock. These guys at least shall suffer eternally in Hiembell (Hell version for the Belo's in this fanfiction) and hopefully they do" Toulgma offered him a drink from his flask.
Lubbock takes a long drink before looking at him "really water? i thought it would've been wine Toulgma" Lubbock deadpanned to him due to his choice of a drink "cmon now Lubbock i'm not an alcoholic drinker" Toulgma said and closed his flask. Everyone left the scen but Toulgma's militia cleaned up the mess and returned to the capital.
(Imperial Capital)
Night Raid returns to the capital to report to the newly appointed king by Ajei Saladis, his cousin who accepted this position to restore order within some of the anime universes crime rates to go down. They now are at the presence of him in the throne room.
Saladis had a suit of heavy armor that was strong yet light for his to make some movements fast despite the armor looking like a heavy armor that could slow down the user of the armor. His hair was jet black that was common to every Belo hair color. His eyes shined red Ruby's that shined very bright for a eye color. Last but not least was what made him intimidating like a terrifying warrior from myth because his attire was that of a viking with fur on his shoulders and a large double sided axe that was the size of a spear but a few centimeters short.
"I take it that you and Night Raid has gotten rid of the forces at the north?" Saladis asked and Toulgma as always was humorous "yeah thanks for the royal assistance Saladis" he said with a hint of teasing and sarcasm. Everyone except Saladis who rolled his eyes were laughing from his humor "still the joker you are huh Toulgma?" Saladis asked kindly and sort of liked his humor.
Najenda giggles and hugs Toulgma's arm "yep still the funny clown in the group my lord" she said and cuddled in his arms. Saladis smirked from the romantic scene unfolded for Saladis "ah love its good to be young i guess" he said and had a serious face now "however the enemy has managed to break through the frozen lands and we are desperate to hold that frontline" Saladis handed Toulgma a piece of paper.
Toulgma opens the piece of paper and looked at the paper reading it. He"s shocked to read that the leader of the winning enemy's commander was the legendary dark lord Miergoth, his loyal friend "Miergoth? i thought he was killed years ago by God?" he asked Saladis who shakes his head "unfortunately he used a spell that saved only half of his soul so that he would possess a vessel back when humanity was as young as a chicken" Saladis gave the truth to Toulgma.
Night Raid was confused as to why was this Miergoth was feared "um not to question you guys but who's this Miergoth guy?" Leone asked and Saladis spoke before Toulgma could talk "its more of a she than a he" Saladis gave another truth to the group. Toulgma wide eyed because never in his life has heard a female dark lord "Miergoth is a she?" Toulgma shouted and threw down the piece of paper.
"Seriously guys who's Miergoth?" Tatsumi asked for Leone. Toulgma looks to his friends and took a deep breath "Miergoth was a well a dark lord prodigy of Morgoth after he died when he took the mantles after Oryox died and was banished to the Empty. She took his masters place and gained a large army and created her own nation while keeping her gender from exposing and when she was killed, i guess she used half of her soul to find a suitable vessel so that she can regain more men and hopes to join with her master" Toulgma took a sharp breath from his long explanation to them.
Night Raid now had more understanding of the situation and had determination on their faces "if its a battle she wants then she will get it my lord Saladis" Akame said and drew her sword to swear an oath to him "we shall take this mission and we shall defeat this dark lord or queen whatever you call a female dark lord" Tatsumi said and has his fist half way up and swore as well to accept this task.
Saladis smiled for their acceptance for this task at hand "i have my fallen army ready for you Najenda-san" Saladis said out of respect for the eye patched woman who shakes his hand with hers "see you later lord Saladis" she said and the group leaves. Saladis returns to sit at his throne and waits for their return.
(outside the palace)
Night Raid saw the entire 6,000 strong fallen army set up by Saladis for the upcoming offensive "ok lads i'll say this once...you are free to kill any enemy's of the alliance and the kingdom if you must win for country, glory, love, fame whatnot what i'm asking you is that you shall fight for the new world!" Toulgma shouted and got his army to cheer along with him and the main leaders of the fallen army got on their horses and march to the frontines.
(a few weeks later)
The fallen and Night Raid were entrenched in the snowy trenches they built after they arrive in the frozen lands just as winter had settled in. Various fallen were sitting down keeping themselves warm from the cold blizzard wind that was blowing very fast that could blow a hat away if it could. Men were near fire to keep war and some were eating as certain fallen were on scout duty in case if the enemy dared to attack in this type of weather.
Najenda was inside a underground home near outside whee the fallen were surrounding the building to protect the HQ of the frontlines. Tatsumi, Akame, and Lubbock were cooking for the men outside while Mine was looking at the map with Toulgma and Najenda thinking what to do next with the enemy also settled for the unforgiving weather created by mother nature.
"Toulgma-kun what's the plan after this weather?" Mine asked since she admitted she wanted a bit of more action for her team "we're waiting till morning to check out the conditions outside our defenses" Toulgma said while dragging his index finger across the entire trenchline of their territory. Najenda wasn't happy when he said he was going to leave the safety of the trenches just to check the frontlines "i don't think that's a good idea Toulgma-kun" Najenda said and glared at him.
Toulgma wanted to stay and wait till a few weeks but he wanted to be cautious that the enemy haven't already encircled the frontline and probably would result in failure of the operation "Najenda someone has to check the frontlines to be sure that the enemy isn't crawling here to ambush us when we are at our vulnerable spot" he said and left to check outside to his comrades.
Najenda scoffs at her lover's excuse for not having enough time ever since they came here on the frozen front. Mine left Najenda to her thoughts just as a lone soldier who was helping Akame with something went to the female commander and spoke calmly "please Ms. Najenda try to understand lord Toulgma. He's just wanting to protect us and you from getting killed by the most simplest mistake from ever happening ma'am" he said and bowed when she looked at the youth soldier.
"then why do i get the feeling he's just using this as an excuse for me to be places behind the frontlines?" Najenda asked him "well Miergoth wasn't made famous with just her actions alone but her violence is well known to the universe" he said and looked away. Najenda noticed the drop of his face of its emotions "what kind of violence?" curious of Miergoth's violent reputation "she killed her own commander to take control of her army's weak morale and killed many men with her staff and mace" he said and looked back at her.
Najenda nods and the man smiles before going outside "hey!" she yelled and he turned to her "thank you young boy" she thanked and the boy said "please just call me Als Ms. Najenda" he said and left. She smiled and went to find Toulgma.
(outside)
Toulgma was smoking outside while observing the frontline and was deep in his thoughts when Najenda came from behind and hugged his back "what's you're thinking about?" she asked Toulgma "oh just looking at the beautiful night Najenda" he replied and continued to look at the frontlines. The blizzard had stopped a while ago and the field revealed the snowy but white pristine ground as the two lovers were lying their heads beside each other.
Toulgma then noticed a slight movement a few meters away from him and heard a twig snap. Najenda gets up and looks around but Toulgma saw the movement and fired his holstered gun and a loud grunt in pain roars. Toulgma whistles the alarm and as soon the alarm is ringing, loud waves of gunfire are shot towards Najenda and Toulgma as they hid behind cover.
A loud roar of yelling erupts as the enemy charges ahead only for Toulgma to use a machine gun mounted on a sentry point and fired away the rounds at them. Thanks to the lack of debris for the enemy to hide besides the fluffy snowed bushed many were forced to run back and sure enough Toulgma's army follows him as they chased the enemy to wipe the remaining threat. Najenda looks back to the rest of the fallen troops and commands them to fortify their lines while worrying about Toulgma.
(a few miles away from base)
Toulgma and a handful of fallen followed suit towards the enemy as they fired and threw bombs at them that when they see them cornered, the enemy has surrounded the pursuing group. Toulgma curses himself "damnit we're cornered ourselves. Ironic" he thought and the enemy fired rounds of bullets and rockets at them. Toulgma's men scream in agony and Toulgma was knocked out as he was unconscious while his men suffer from their untimely demise.
(30 minutes later)
The field was a site suited to be called a slaughter. Men were dead and scattered bodies were everywhere as the body of Toulgma was being laid by a dead fallen soldier as he woke up violently and pushed the heavy geared soldier away from him and looked around the field and saw a few patrolling enemy soldiers and ran to a nearby boulder. He felt a swelling pain in his chest but ignored it as he grabbed quietly a rifle from the dead fallen he pushed aside and cocked it.
Toulgma was breathing unevenly as his lungs were still taking in air from the knockout he received from the ambush earlier. He hears the footsteps close and he couldn't wait and fired upon the enemy alerting the other patrols as a beam of light pointed on him and he was being fired at as he ran away. He ran as fast as he was late for a meeting and forced himself to exert his tiredness aside and ran faster while being shot at.
(somewhere in enemy territory)
We see Toulgma panting and vomiting for forcing himself from running too much and he found a canteen of water and drank it desperately and coughed like a dog with the flu. He regains his proper state and realized he's far from his army and his love and knew what he needed to do "i have to return home if it's the last thing i do" he said to himself and ran with the gun at hand ran straight ahead through the territory.
