The Black Rose Chapter 2

Serge, Glenn, Magus, Norris, and Karsh went inside the temple. In front of them sat Ozzie, Flea, and Harle.

"Magus!" Ozzie yelled.

"Ozzie, Flea, where is Slash?" Magus yelled.

"Slash is dead. He was too weak for us. We replaced him with Harle here," Ozzie replied. "Why are you here?"

"To kick your Asses!" Karsh yelled.

"Hang on Karsh, Harle what are you doing here?" Serge asked.

"Serge, ah mon ami, c'est super to see you again, non? I am here to take le garcon, Slash's place," Harle replied.

"But you rule in tyranny, why? Why be a Time Disrupter?" Serge asked.

"Ah, Serge, you do not understand. Deez things are not easy for moi. In every world there is le Time Disrupter. I met you in one monsier. Remember when you were first put in monsier Lynx's body?" Harle asked.

"It does not matter! These three are destroying this planet, they rule harshly and once every week ten civilians are killed for the Time Disrupter's Sacrifice!" Magus yelled.

"Well then I guess we have perfect reason to kick your Asses," Karsh said contently.



"Where should we look first?" Orlha asked.

"Well, we need to visit the time disrupters first so we can get permission to travel," Glenn said. "There is a bridge connecting our island with their island. We are almost there."

The four warriors quickly came to the bridge and saw the temple off in the distance.

"It should take no long than ten minutes to get there," Dario said.

"Yes, but only five if we run," Glenn smiled as her started to sprint toward the tower.

Fargo, Orlha, and Dario ran after him.

Ozzie jumped down from his chair.

"What makes you think you can defeat us?" He asked.

"We have destroyed FATE, brought two worlds together to form one, defied all odds, become the most powerful beings in Time Distortion of Home World and Another World, and we have defeated the Time Devourer," Serge said assertively.

"Ooh, a good rep for you I see, don't get cocky though," Flea said jumping down from her chair. "I want the cute one with blonde hair."

Norris backed away.

"As the Captain of the Porre Army I refuse to fight a girl," he said.

"I'm stronger than you think," Flea said.

"No matter, I will not fight you," Norris said.

"I want Ozzie," Magus said.

"No, you are mine Magus!" Glenn the frog said behind them.

Orlha, Dario, Glenn the Frog, and Fargo stood there, all ready for battle.

"We traveled back in time!" Glenn the knight said. "Brother Dario! I was once a Glenn the frog is me a few years ago!"

"I want my human body back," the frog said.

"SHUTTUP!" Ozzie yelled.

Karsh jumped at Ozzie with his huge axe ready to hack. Ozzie knocked Karsh away. Karsh came charging again and Ozzie slammed Karsh in the stomach sending him fly backward and hit the wall, knocking himself unconscious.

"I change my mind," Flea said. "I want that bright looking girl."

"I don't want to fight," Orlha said.

"But you must," Flea said with a smirk. Flea leaped at Orlha and a huge battle erupted in the room. The Glenn the knight and Glenn the frog had leaped at Magus. They fought with him while Orlha was busy with Flea.

Fargo, Dario, and Norris took on Ozzie as Serge tried to convince Harle not to fight.

"Please Harle, I don't want to have to fight you!" Serge yelled over all the commotion.

"Je regrette mon ami, but it is Fate," Harle replied.

Serge leaped at Harle and easily sliced through her.

"I was tired of being on the bottom, but I was also tired of being at the top," Harle said quickly. "Now that I will die, I swill be very happy. Merci Serge." And Harle died.

Flea was doing a pretty good job on Orlha, and Ozzie had already taken down Norris and Dario. It was Fargo and Ozzie one on one. Fargo kept slicing at Ozzie, but Ozzie's metal armor blocked the hits.

Flea punched at Orlha. Orlha fell backward, her face a giant, bloody, mess. Orlha backed away now, fearing the time disrupter.

Glenn and Glenn had Magus backed away in a corner now. They had his staff and he was wounded badly.

"Now turn me back," the Frog said.

The Magus did so. The two Glenns stood next to each other now. That triggered the reformation. The two Glenns molded into one.

Fargo was beat. Glenn tried to help Orlha but it was no use. Serge had started attacking Ozzie but he was only knocked away several times.

Ozzie slammed Fargo in the face and there was a loud CRRAACCCKKK. Fargo's skull had shattered. Fargo slumped to the floor.

"You are very weak, I cannot believe that you actually live up to what you told me you have accomplished.

Glenn had been beaten two. When all hope was lost, Grobyc stood there in the doorway.

"Grobyc-is-here," he said in his robotic voice.

Flea left Orlha and Glenn and went for Grobyc, as did Ozzie. Before Ozzie could get there, Grobyc fired his rocket fist at Ozzie and sent him flying back. Flea kicked and punched at Grobyc but his metallic arms could withstand every hit. He slammed Flea backwards.

Serge killed Ozzie and Glenn killed Flea.

"You have rid the land of the Time Disrupters, but I am afraid my time has come," Magus said.

"I have lived a long life, and all I needed to do to complete it was to see Ozzie and Flea die. Slash is already dead, so I am now content.

The Magus stopped breathing.

Serge helped Dario and Norris up. Dario walked over to the Magus and picked up the Masamune sword that Glenn the Frog had dropped.

Glenn helped Orlha up and he wiped the blood off her face with his handkerchief.

"Thank you very much Grobyc," Serge said.

"Grobyc-need-no-thanks. This-is-what-Grobyc-was-created-for," Grobyc said.

Karsh started to wake up now.

"Oh, hell. Did I miss it all?" he asked.

"Yeah, you did Karsh," Glenn smiled.

"Dario!" Karsh yelled.

"He doesn't know any of us, yet," Orlha said.

Orlha walked over to Fargo. She picked him up and put him in Ozzie's chair.

"Fargo's sacrifice helped kill Ozzie, he held him off until Grobyc was able to get here, may he live with the Gods forever," Norris said.

The warriors walked out of the temple.

"Now what?" Glenn asked. "How do we get out of here?"

"We could go ask the queen," Dario said.

"The Queen? You mean there is more than one ruler? I thought we just defeated the rulers," Serge said.

"No, they were the time disrupters, the tyrannical leaders of this continent," Dario said. "We need to find Queen Anna, she knows all about Time and Space."

"Okay, lets go then," Norris said.

The seven warriors walked along the coast of the continent. Dario knew the exact way because his father was a knight at the Kingdom. Glenn knew that he would be seeing his own father, Garai soon.

Serge looked up at the night sky. Right then he was wondering if he would ever get back. He was sure Luccia knew nothing about this place, and how to get them out. The kingdom was on the other side of the world, and right now they were traveling on a boat all the way there.

Dario had rented them a boat and he was driving them to the Kingdom. The wind blew very fast; almost fast enough for it to be a storm; so the sails were filled with air.

They had been riding the boat for about eight hours, eating only off bread, and drinking from canteens they had bought. It would only be about one more hour.

Serge knew it was way past midnight and he was the only one awake besides Dario and Grobyc. He looked at his best friend Glenn, who had beaten the time devourer with him, and Glenn had saved his life. Orlha lay there, as beautiful as she was, very still, she was dead asleep

There was a very strong jolt on the boat. Karsh woke up abruptly.

"What the hell was that?" He asked.

Grobyc looked overboard and saw three large ocean creatures.

"We-are-in-trouble," Grobyc said.

Dario swerved the boat away from the creatures. They smashed into he side of the boat. Everybody started waking up now.

The creatures were about fifteen feet long, and they looked like giant snakes. Serge had never seen any kind of creature like this before.

One of the creatures leapt out of the water and onboard the boat. It had legs and arms, and a mouth full of bloody teeth. Karsh easily took the fist one out with one chop of his axe. He had decapitated the stupid creature, though now there was blood everywhere. It was all over Serge, and in Orlha's hair, and all over the boat deck.

The other two monsters jumped aboard. Karsh hacked at them, and Glenn stabbed them repeatedly. Even though the monsters were on the deck now, the boat kept being hit.

Serge grabbed his Mastermune and looked over the edge of the boat. There were about twenty of these monsters. Four more jumped aboard. Serge took two of them out with one fellow swoop of his Mastermune.

The boat could not hold anymore, it was a fairly big boat, but not big enough for a lot of these creatures and the warriors.

Karsh and Glenn were holding off the port side of the boat well, as was Grobyc and Serge holding the starboard side of the boat off well also. Orlha and Norris covered the back of the boat as Dario kept heading toward the mainland.

This time the monsters let out a full-scale attack. Eight of them jumped on the board, rushing to kill the humans. Grobyc was able to knock one off the boat, and Serge had easily killed two of them, but Karsh was injured now and Glenn was getting tired. Dario swerved to a hard right forcing three of the monsters fall off, along with Orlha off the back of the boat.

Orlha tried to swim after the boat, but the monsters left the boat alone now and went after Orlha.

Serge and Grobyc went in after her. They dove under the cold water. There were monsters everywhere; it was like a giant nest. They were dead for sure; the monsters would pull them under from beneath.

Dario turned the boat around and went after his three fellow warriors. Glenn and Norris stood there ready to help them aboard while Karsh sat down tending to his cuts.

Glenn was able to get Serge onboard, and then Orlha. Orlha was choking on water; she was bleeding from a giant bite mark in her left side.

Serge was doing okay, now they had to get Grobyc.

The wind blew incredibly fast now and when the boat hit any of the monsters on the surface, the front of the boat would slice them in half. Dario was able to get to Grobyc and Serge quickly pulled him aboard. The monsters kept attacking though. Dario had no more time to think.

"Glenn, head to the main land and get to the trading post that's there. It should be easy to find," Dario shouted.

Dario let the wheel go and he dove off the side of the boat. The monsters went only after Dario.

"No Dario!" Glenn shouted.

Glenn had no choice; he drove the boat to the shore. He knew from Another world that Dario would land up on the forgotten island off the mainland, at least Dario in the end would be safe.

Glenn had the boat dock right on the shoreline. The warriors all got off the boat. Karsh was able to use his axe, his wounds were minor, but Serge had to carry Orlha.

The sun started to rise up from the ocean. It was dawn. Dario was right. Glenn saw the trading post. He would go there and ask for the directions.

The six warriors got the directions to the kingdom and started on their way. They had to go through town and get a ride from one of the chariots that ran through the city.

They found three chariots and rode them to the kingdom.



It was about an hour of traveling, but the finally found the castle. They went up to the main door and knocked.

A guard answered the door.

"What do you want?" He asked.

"We need to speak to the queen," Serge said.

"What do you need to tell Queen Anna?" He asked.

"We need her help," replied.

"The Queen has no time for beaten stragglers like you," the guard said sternly.

"Don't make us force our way through there," Glenn said.

"Yeah, because we'll kick your asses so hard, your momma is gonna feel it!" Karsh yelled.

(Now we know how Yo mamma jokes got started.)

The guard opened the door revealing about sixty other men there in the main hall.

"The P in Porre stands for perseverance," Norris smiled.

"How did you know that?" The guard said astonished.

"It's the Porre password," Norris whispered to Serge. "This is the old Porre army."

"I am commander Norris of the Porre Army," Norris said to the commander.

"I have never heard of you," the officer said. "Lets me see your badges."

Norris opened his jacket and there were all his medals and his certificate of authenticity in the inside pocket.

"Okay, you all may pass," the guard said. "But let me tell Queen Anna you're here first."

The six warriors waited patiently.

They sat out there talking for ten minutes when they saw the guard come back down the stairs giving them the order that they could see the Queen. He would only let Norris in though.

"I will not see the Queen unless you let my fellow warriors in," Norris said.

"Well then you cannot enter," the guard replied.

"Then we gonna bust in!" Karsh yelled.

Karsh and Serge ran into the main hall, Glenn and Grobyc went on in behind them.

"You should always listen to your commander," Norris said pulling his pistol out and shooting the guard.

Norris ran in after his friends, he knew they would win, the old Porre army was just backup they were not any good. He started shooting his pistol from the back while protecting the injured Orlha.

Glenn wasn't doing too badly. He had probably taken out the most soldiers so far. His double Einlanzers could smash the weak piece of steel leftover that the army used. He knew of course this wasn't the whole army.

Serge swung his large Mastermune around killing soldiers off twice as quickly. The Mastermune was a pole with one curved blade on each end. Since there were two blades altogether he could kill two people at once with it.

Grobyc would stun the enemy first by smashing their face and kicking at their legs and stomach, and then once they were weak Karsh eliminated them with one large swoop. Karsh was no slouch when it came to fighting.

The army was gone now, and the warriors were free to go upstairs.

"Make room for the Queen!" One attendant yelled running down the stairs. Little did he know that there were sixty dead bodies lying around.

"I need to see the queen!" Serge yelled with his friends standing strong behind him.

"Well you will have to wait!" A strong voice boomed.

Serge saw Lynx and Garai walking down the stairs with Kid behind them.

"Queen Anna run back upstairs," Lynx said.

"Kid!" Serge yelled.

"My name ain't Kid anymore! The name is Anna!" Anna yelled back. "Zappa! Take care of your son Karsh here!"

A big burly man ran down the stairs confronted by his own flesh and blood, Karsh.

"Serge is mine," Lynx glistened.

"I want my father," Glenn said sternly.

"Well you ain't gettin me!" Anna yelled running back up the stairs. Norris fired his pistol and nailed Anna right in the leg.

Lynx jumped off the stairs with Garai and started the battle.

"Grobyc!" Norris yelled, "Protect Orlha while I get Anna!"

"Affirmative," the android said.

Zappa started hacking at Karsh, Axe vs. Axe, Father vs. Son.
