Chapter 5: Cleaning Up
Roaringburn Village, June 6, 8:04am
Fox, Wolf, A.J., Marvin, Mila and Dammon had gotten up at least an hour earlier, and eaten their breakfast. They were all ready to go out and "clean up" the village. Fox was wearing his green sleeveless flight shirt, green flight pants, white gloves and boots, and had his blaster strapped to his leg and his Claymore sword strapped across his back. Wolf was wearing his usual gray mercenary pants and shirt, he had his dual blasters strapped in their holsters and his Battle-axe swung across his back. A.J. was wearing black pants, boots and a black T-shirt and belt, he had his .357 magnum stuffed in the front of his belt, a .9mm Berretta and .45 in the back of his belt, and he was carrying the shotgun in his hands, he had ten magnum bullets, fifteen .9mm clips, twelve .45 clips and thirty buckshot shotgun shells in his pockets. Marvin had on his light brown tunic and pants, and he had his dual Daggers strapped on his belt and had his Halberd at ready. Mila had on a White Tunic along with a Brown Sleeveless corsair Vest and Brown pants, Mila had her dual cutlasses strapped across her back, and her Dagger stuffed in the front of her belt. Dammon had on his red sleeveless vest, white tunic and brown pants and brown belt, he had his Javelin at ready and his Dirk stuffed in his belt. "Let's go outside and carve ourselves some Demons!" A.J.
They all exited Steger's smith shop through the front door out into the street, all of them noticed that the entire town seemed to be crawling with monsters, there was at least forty of them. Some of the monsters looked like giant snakes that had black eyes, skin and were at least twenty feet long. The other monsters were about eight feet tall, but stood hunched over...walking on it's nubs and knees like a gorilla, it had black oily eyes and skin. About twenty of the Demons quickly surrounded them from all sides. Wolf then took out his axe and said: "It's go time!" The battle started.
Fox whipped out his blaster and quickly fired off shot after shot at the approaching Demon's. Two of the Demon's started bounding after A.J when he had his back turned to them, but he heard them approaching behind him. He quickly whirled around and raised his Double-Barreled Shotgun and fired twice and quickly reloaded the shotgun, as they got closer, he quickly fired off two more rounds at them, and was rewarded by a groan of pain from both of them as they dropped to the ground. Fox took his claymore sword and started to hack into the legions of Demons, their purple blood spraying all about as he hacked off limbs and heads, splattering the ground with body parts and blood. Fox twirled the sword around above his head slicing the Snake-Demon's heads off, as one of the Gorilla-like monsters came running up behind him, he quickly twirled around and stabbed it in its heart just as it was leaping through the air at him. A.J threw aside the Double-Barreled Shotgun after using up all the shells he had with him. He pulled out his .9mm Pistol and started firing into the crowd of Demon's. Marvin pulled out his dual Daggers and leaped at the back of one of the gorilla-like monsters and buried the Daggers into the back of the monster, killing it. Mila took out her dual cutlasses and jumped into the fray, she sliced off one of the Gorilla-Demons arms, then she quickly swung the sword in a circle lopping heads off three of them. Dammon carefully took aim at one of the Demons head and threw his Javelin as hard as he could. Dammon threw his spear so hard that it went flying through the Demons head and straight through the head of two others behind it. Wolf took out his battle-axe and leapt at one of the Snake-Demons with his axe raised above his head. Wolf brought the axe down on the Demons skull; he then quickly spun around and leaped through the air at another Snake-Demon. Wolf brought the axe down hard on its skull, causing it to spill brain fluid and gore all over the ground, as it screamed in horrific pain and fell over. A.J. had used up all of his .9mm clips and had discarded the gun, but he had managed to kill four Gorilla-Demons with it. Marvin took out his Halberd and sliced off the head of the last Demon that was left alive. "Okay, our job is finished here, but we still have to finish off those ones in the Castle." Fox said to them. "Yeah, yeah, now lets get going, so we can collect our reward and get out of here." A.J. stated as he swung the bag filled with his remaining weapons over his shoulder. "Okay, just remember we can't let a single one of those suckers live." Wolf angrily snarled. For just a moment Fox, Wolf, Mila, A.J., Marvin and Dammon all looked up at the mammoth Castle of Floret that loomed before them. After gazing at the monstrosity of a Castle for a few minutes they headed towards it.
They entered the large castle through the large front doors, which were standing wide open. They noticed as they walked into the opening room of the Castle, that none of the few survivors seemed to be around. The large Castle seemed to be completely silent. They all surveyed the opening room: The opening room had fancy carpet's and tapestries and all sorts of fancy furniture, there was a stone staircase across from the entrance doors. Fox started to say, "We should split up" but was quickly interrupted by a loud scream that came from somewhere on the upper floors. "Hey mates, that sounded like King Phillip!" Dammon told them. "You're right, it sounds like he's in trouble!" Marvin said. "Well, what are we just standing here for? Let's go help him!" Wolf yelled. They all started to rush across the floor towards the stairs, but before they were halfway to the stairs, thirty of the gorilla-Demons came bounding down the stairs towards them. "Come get some!" A.J. yelled. The fight started.
Two of the Demons leaped through the air towards Wolf. Just as they were about to reach him, he quickly swung the battle-axe upwards, slicing of both of their heads and spilling Demon blood across his shirt and pants. Dammon took out his Dirk and ran into the mass of Demons yelling: "Save the King!" as he stabbed them with the Dirk. A.J. took out his MPA5 Sub-machine gun and ran towards them while firing it off wildly, and yelling: "Who's Laughing now!" Five of the Gorilla-Demons came running towards Mila and was about to bite her with its razor sharp teeth, when she suddenly, while holding a sword in each hand, she spun around while still holding a sword in each hand, slicing off all five of their heads. Three of the Demons started running towards Fox. Fox raised his sword to a ready position. The three Demons stopped slightly in front of him and growled at him, glaring at him with their piercing black eyes. Fox ran at one of them and raised his sword above his head and brought it down on the Demon's head, stabbing through it and killing it, spilling its blood all over. He quickly swung his sword around, lopping off the other two Demons head's. "Hurry! Go help King Phillip!" Dammon yelled to Marvin and Wolf. "Okay, we'll go save the King while you hold off the rest of the Demons!" Wolf yelled back to Dammon. Marvin and Wolf quickly headed up the stairs to help the King, leaving the rest of them to fend off the remaining Demons.
