Calus looked around in a daze at the carnage around him. There were bodies everywhere and fire so much fire. The Ylissean guards from the outpost were arresting people left and right, and if they weren't able to arrest them they killed them. STAND UP! STAND UP AND KILL THEM! AVENGE BERT! Calus struggled to his feet, but by then guards were already upon him.
"Sir, you're coming with us." Calus grabbed the head of the guard and threw him to the ground, the other guard tried to stab Calus but was shot forward by a blast to his back that flung him forward. Calus smiled as the guard flew past and a familiar face took his place.
"Calus! Grab something, we're storming the outpost!" Earl the bartender said. Calus grabbed a sword from the fallen guard and joined with the large group that had amassed in front of the outpost. "Alright Cay, hang back and help. Whatever you do don't approach that Odin guy. That fellow is an attention seeker but he's powerful, more powerful than any of us."
"Yeah, that guy's horrible just like your ex ay Earl," Calus responded, getting a chuckle from a few people. "For Bert, and everyone else that has been killed by these pigs." A mighty roar rose up among the crowd at hearing that. "How did you hear me?" Calus got a lot of shrugs. Not the weirdest thing to happen in this town Calus looked up towards the top of the walls, there were no guards.
"We've got a ram! Step aside everyone coming through!" As the crowd parted Calus looked in awe, it was a tree, recently cut, making its way carried by six men. They arrived at the front gate, "Tally ho!" and slammed the tree into the gate. Again, cracking the wooden gate. Again, making the door tremble under the force. Finally, they slammed it into the gate one last time, shattering the gate and charging through into the small army on the other side. With a mighty roar, the two "armies" crashed into each other. As Calus met the opposing force he jumped and slammed his sword into the nearest soldier, Watch out. Right there! Duck! Calus thought to himself, Enough thinking, Calus let his instincts take over. Carving a way through the enemy it seemed as if lightning sprang from his sword and fire shot from his body. The Ylissean guards pressed Calus, but he killed any and everyone who dared challenge him. Finally making his way through to Odin Calus saw fear and envy in his eyes.
"You must be the descendant of Robin! That sheer power! Terrifying! So, surrender and come with us, we can leave this town behind, nobody else will die. This entire garrison will make their leave of this town. What say you?"
"Your "garrison" killed Bert." Odin's face dropped the cheerful facade and became one of fear as Calus jumped up ten feet, lightning jumping from his body and electrifying his sword. The sword slammed down and sent a shockwave throughout everyone near him. Calus saw Odin fly back into a wall his hair becoming wild. With a faint smile at that sight, Calus fell to the ground unconscious.
*3 Hours Later*
"He killed our troops!"
"I know, so imagine what he could do with training and knowing what we do! Does he look awake to you?"
"Uh, I don't know maybe?" Calus jumped up only to find himself chained and thrown to the ground. "Yeah, he's awake."
"I got that. Thanks." Calus looked at Odin, "Rise and shine princess. How was your beauty sleep?"
"How's your army?" Calus sneered. Odin looked set back by the question.
"Still strong, just not as strong. But once we arrive at Ylisstol we will be resupplied, and then we'll head to Garreg Mach Monastery that's where all of us legends train. After that we roam the lands acting as heroes, stay in bands and become traveling heroes but in groups, be like me where we have small army's going around and finding more legends, or we go to one of two bases Hoshido and Nohr. Almost nobody goes there, it's definitely the low point of our organization." Odin explained.
"Why? I never asked for any of that information, and what's with all the military if only the "legends" get to go?" Calus asked.
"Ah! You're accepting it! Great, so we uh need the military for towns, war, security, and numbers. No offense Carl."
"None taken," said the other guard.
"What did you do to everyone in the town." Calus demanded,
"You didn't surrender. They wouldn't let us take you unless they were dead. So we tried to knock them all out but still had to kill a few as not to jeopardize your attitude towards us.
"Too late, you're pretty upfront about everything. So are you guys not used to criminals or something?"
"What do you mean?" Odin replied as Calus leaped up, free of his chains and kicked Carl in the face while grabbing Odin and pushing him up to the wall of the bus. "Oh, that's what you mean. Why can't you just cooperate?! Why do you hate us!?"
"Because you take people like me from their homes giving them no choice. I'm willing to bet that the only reason I'm alive is that I am powerful. Is that right?"
"I don't like hurting or killing people, but I do what I have to do. So I am sorry for this." Immediately after Odin said that Calus felt a shock go through his body and his vision went black. The last thing Calus heard was,
"I enjoyed that."
"Shut up Carl."
