LEGACY

The Amazing Victory at Draganesti-Vlasca

 (Chapter III)

[{(PLEASE REVIEW THIS CHAPTER AND THE UPCOMING CHAPTER INDIVIDUALLY)}]

"Hey are you okay?"  Danny rushed over to Osama with bloody shoulders.

"Not really."  Osama looked at Danny who had cuts and two wounds on his chest.  Danny was holding Dragon S.O.L. the legendary weapon of the middle-ages.  The weapon had a hilt shaped like a dragon.  The blade had a thin yet long surface made of magnesium, a metal that roughly burns in fire.  The tip was a bit thicker and heavier than the rest of the sword making it like a lance. Overall the entire whole sword was heavy and big but magnificent at the same time.  "Hey are you gonna help me up or keep describing that sword?" asked Osama.

"Oh sorry, I seemed to have carried myself away," Danny said.  "Where are the horses?"

"Somewhere over there," Osama pointed to a field where the horses were grazing (LIKE COWS!), "Wow, we're hurt pretty badly."

"What's that some thing to laugh about?"

"Nothing really, it's just that you were a wimp and never actually got hurt if your life and now look at you, you're showered in blood."

"Hey just because someone never breaks a bone it doesn't mean that they're a wimp.  It just means they are smart.  Yeah that's right Osama I'm saying only dumbasses get hurt often!" Danny was getting short of breath.

"So you're an exception cause you almost never left the house you women!" The conversation between both of them turned to a comical tone.

"Alright I have a few points to make.  First of all you are the fat one of us, second how do you know I haven't been hurt during the two years I've been away, third I still have been wounded before my trip."  The two of them stared at each other holding it in but they only needed a second until they burst out with laughter.  "Come on lets get the horses."

"Yeah we gotta get these paper cuts bandaged."  The two warriors walked toward the horses and wearily got on to almost lie down face forward.  The short trip back to Firenze (I finally figured out the name of the northern Italy city) was cold and dark.  By the time they got there it was midnight and the city was looking evacuated, but they didn't care because it was late and that's what happens when it's late.  All they could think about was the hospital bill.  They went in the hospital filled out the forms yata yata wrapped their arms yata and slept in the hospital for the night.  Waking up the next morning they found most of the city the way it was last night.  The place still looked abandoned.  Almost no one was insight.

"Wow I've never seen a town full the first day then abandoned the next."

"Lets see if Norbert is still here."  Osama marched into the weapons shop hoping to find at least Norbert in there.  As he got in he only saw the shop and nothing else.  It seemed evacuated as well.  Just as he was about to leave he noticed there was a noise in the back of the shop.  "Danny, I think someone's here," he shouted out the door.  Danny rushed in only to find the shop again.

"Where?"

 "Some where in the back," the back was covered in curtains so they had to go over and look through the curtains.  The curtains were pulled by they're hands and some one in the back was Norb.  "Look, he's here."

"Oh hello fellas," Norb greeted with his rusty voice, "did you get your sword, or did you chicken out of it?"

"Uh, yeah well …, why is there nobody here or anywhere?" Danny asked.

"Mmmm well you know when you left we found a messenger lying at the gate," Norb started, "he was wounded and was lying beside his horse.  The poor guy risked his life to get here from Romania."

"Romania, Luca's from there (that's right Luca this is your chapter)"

Norb started again from this rude interruption, "The guy said his country was in war with Hungary … or Austria …"

Osama helped him, "Austria-Hungary is what they were called in World War II."

"Right, Austria-Hungary is in war with Romania.  Hmm, The Romanians aren't our allies but this guy warned us cause they were going crazy for power.  The poor guy thought we would help him cause we're also a neighboring nation of Austria-Hungary and they could have a threat on us too, but our army forces are down.  So incase they decide to attack us too, we're gonna leave for a while."

"What, you're just gonna leave!?"  Osama was shouting, "You can at least give them supplies!"  Danny looked shocked at his sudden rage.

"Hey what do you think I was packing for, where else am I gonna go?"  Norb was looking at Osama as if he was crazy.

"You know what," Danny jumped in, "lets go help them Osama."

"You're gonna go help 'em!?"  Norbert wiped his face of sweat, "how the hell are you gonna get there?  It'll take weeks probably even months if you go by foot."

Osama calmed down, "He's right, even if we go by horses it'll take a real long time."  Danny thought for a while.

It took a few minutes before he said, "Well, we could go back…"

"Go back where?"

"To BPD (for those who never paid attention BPD is like AD).  Yeah we could go back to the future; we could get to Romania in a couple of hours.  If we go on a plane it would take like half an hour," Danny finally finished.

Osama started to say, "Hey we'll go back to BPD but we are not gonna take a plane we already spent enough money"

"Alright then we'll go by some thing else.  See ya Norb." Going back to BPD and explaining all that stuff is gonna be a headache to write and read so I'm just gonna skip that part.

          The invisible aura of the time machine in Alexandria (yes it is a place in Romania just look in a map) was distrupted as Danny and Osama stepped through.  This time they had control and came through the portal conscious.  They looked around at Alexandria surrounding them.  The place was a mess.  The buildings were destroyed, the plants were burned, and the whole town was abandoned just like Firenze.  It seemed so surprising that a town so far south from Hungary would be experiencing this.  Romania must be losing the war.

          Danny found someone hiding in the corner with rags and all.  This person was probably an escaped hostage.  Danny approached the person, "Hey do you…," he was cut off.

          "Wh wh whose side are you on?"

          "Uh well, I'm on Romania's side…," Danny was cut off again.

          "What do you want?"

          Danny was getting annoyed by his frequent rudeness.  "We want to talk to whose in charge."

          Finally Osama decided to talk, "Yeah we want to see you king or queen or what ever."

          "Why?"

          Danny was getting really pissed off with him.  "To join the army jeez!"

          "Stop it you're gonna scare him more."

          "Y y you want to help us fight?"  Danny and Osama nodded.  "How do I know that I can trust you?"

          "Well I think the Austrian's and the Hungarian's army didn't bother to get ID's in both worlds or go to the future.  You saw us come through the gate," Osama sounded very convincing even though that didn't really make sense.

          The peasant stared at them for a second and then said, "The queen is not here.  It is not safe in Romania anymore," he continued in his high voice, "the queen had traveled further east to Giurgiu (yes another city in Romania I'm a good researcher).  She is hidden in the basement of the old museum building."

          Danny and Osama gave their "thank you" s and "good bye" s then left to find horses to travel.  Again by the time they had arrived the city was abandoned, but it was not in ruins.  It took the duo a while to look before they could find the Museum.

          "Damn, how scared are these people," Danny said while again looking at the evacuated city surrounding him.  He spotted the Museum after he said that, "Look, thar she blows."  The old building had two statues at the side of the entrance.  One man the other woman.  Both entered the Museum in a line.  Suddenly two blades were brought up to their necks.  The guards standing at the side surprised them.

          They started questioning them.  "Who are you and what do you want?"

          Danny started in a low voice, "I am Danny and he is Osama."

          Osama started, "We are here to help your country."  Both of them spoke in low voices, staring at the two blades at their necks.

          "How do we know you are not spies?"  Thinking, Danny thought that convincing the guards of their innocence to Romania.  Danny decided to take it the hard way.

          Danny inhaled with his mouth then spoke, "We don't have any proof."

          "Come with us!"  The guards kept their blades at both of their necks.  Danny and Osama were forced to line up side by side.  The guards pushed them with their hands on the warrior's necks.  The guards pushed them to what looked like an elevator except it barely had a roof and it was run by ropes, levers, and pulleys.  The guard to the right pulled a lever up and the elevator started to move down quickly.  They all passed at least two floors before they reached the queens chamber.

          "Your majesty," both guards said and bowed down to the queen.  The queen was not a fat, old hag she was just old.  The gown that she wore revealed her figure, which in some cases, it is mostly horrifying.  Two men stood beside her.   To Danny's and Osama's surprise one of them was Luca, a good friend of Danny and Osama.  Luca is an elf of some type (I'm not a forbidden realms reader or any other kind of reader at all so I don't know this stuff) and was heavily armored with a long bow almost as big as him and a sword of course.  The other guy was … just some guy.  He had blonde hair and heavy armor along with a dense looking blade resting on his back.  Nobody else was in the hidden throne room except for themselves.

          The queen spoke, "Who are these warriors that you bring me?"

          "We do not know of their identity," the guard holding Danny said, "we have come to the decision to let you decide their fate."

          Osama was trying to whisper to Luca, but Luca was giving him signs not to talk right now.  Luca spoke, "I think that will not be necessary," the queen and everyone else in the room looked upon Luca with a questioning face, "these two, are my old friends.  I assume they have come to help me and the country."

          The queen shifted her eyes upon Osama and Danny, "Is this true?  Have you come to help Romania and fight off the enemy?"  Osama and Danny nodded.  Silence emitted the room for a moment.  "Very well then, guards let them free."  They did so.  Then the guards left the room.

          The man with the blonde hair standing next to the queen spoke, "When shall we have a meeting your majesty?"

          "We shall have the meeting now Marcus," The queen said, "We have no time to waste.  The enemy grows closer as we speak."

          "Very well," Marcus said (Marcus is the other guy by the queens side for those who weren't paying attention).  He shifted his eyes to Danny and Osama, "Speak of what you want."

          "We came to help fight the Austrians and Hungarians," Osama stated while Danny watched.

          The queen raised an eyebrow, "Why did you come by yourselves?  I'm sure that two more men will be no help."

          "They have special powers," Luca started, "like Marcus."

          "Tell me your powers young warriors."

          Osama started, "I have control over the ground.  I can use black magic and I'm a Psionicist."

          "A Psionicist?" she raised her eyebrow once more, "that can be very helpful.  What about you?" she looked at Danny.

          "I have power over fire," the queen seemed interested and sat up straight now, "I have monk skills and I'm a Dragon Knight."

          "A dragon knight!?"

          "Well yeah Mmmm no, I'm not a registered one that's all."

          "So you can be a registered dragon knight if you wanted am I right?"

          "Yes," Osama still remained quite as Danny talked.

          "Ah yes, very pleasing, very pleasing indeed.  Now I have a Dragon Knight and a Psionicist on my side.  Marcus is a Limulian as well.  He has control over wind."

          Luca stepped in, "Can the warriors and I have a private meeting your highness?"

          "Yes you may go and have your discussion."

          The three of them left to the elevator only to go up one floor.  They were in a hall way with six doors.  Luca led them to the fourth door. In the n door was an empty room with a table and chairs.

          "So Luca you must feel left out with no special powers and all."

          "I have my powers I'm an elf."

          "You know the queen is kind of weird."

          "Yeah she just talks and we don't even exchange names or anything."

          "Don't bother she inst even an important person in the story," Luca said. (The whole conversation I just put in for the fun of it)

          The door flew open all of a sudden.  It was a guard but a different person than the ones at the entrance.  "Come quick, the queen told me you were in here."

          "Is there some thing wrong with the queen?" Luca said.

          "No, the enemy is starting to attack."

          "Are they here?"

          "No, we received a warning.  They are going to arrive here if we don't do anything."  The four of them rushed outside the museum together.

          Osama shouted, "Where the hell are we supposed to go!?"

          "They're in Draganesti-Vlasca (another city in Romania)," said the strange looking man behind them.  Obviously he was the messenger, "Most of our men are over there fighting.  The city is northwest from here.

          Marcus came all of a sudden out of nowhere on a horse with three other horses, "Get on and follow me!"

          Danny, Osama, and Luca did so.  Osama noticed that two of their horses were the ones they came here with.  The four warriors rode on their horses past Ghizdaru and in between Dimitrie Sturza and Toporu to get to Draganesti-Vlasca (These are all real names).

          The town was partially in ruins.  Some buildings were destroyed some untouched.  Yet again the town was abandoned.  No one was insight but the fighting was audible.  Loud strikes of metal and the cries of dieing men.

          "They're probably in different parts of the city," Danny said.

          "So we're gonna have to split up gang," Osama said imitating Fred from Scooby-Doo.

          "In two's or just …," Luca was unsure on how to divide up.

          "We'll go individually," said Marcus.  "We'll each go our separate ways when we get there," said Marcus pointing to a five-way intersection of walking roads (five-way including the way they came leaving four unexplored paths).  They each started off (Who cares which way they take).  [{(the large number of spaces separates each persons view)}]

          Marcus started off quickly to find two Romanian warriors fighting another two enemy warriors.  They were handling it pretty well until more enemies came.  Then Marcus went to help.  Six more warriors came to help the enemy.  Marcus unseathed his blade and rushed up to help his allies.  He broke through the two guys to strike and kill the closest enemy.  He fell quickly back on to another enemy to knock him off balance.  Marcus killed the man down by placing his sword straight through his heart.  Two enemies (I'm gonna keep writing enemies because anything else is gonna get annoying) rushed pass him.  They started fighting the Romanian warriors and quickly killed them because they were off guard.  There were six enemies remaining and four of them surrounded Marcus while the other two standing behind.  Marcus looked at his surroundings then formed a sphere of wind that grew around him to knock the enemies off balance.  Instead of killing the ones down he rushed at the enemies that were still up.  Marcus smashed the hilt of his sword into one of their faces hurting him badly.  He quickly struck again at the other one standing at his feet very hard to knock him off balance.  He swung his sword over his head sideways then brought it down on the enemy's neck killing him.  There were four left now.  Two Romanian men, not warriors with armor, but men probably citizens of the city came to help Marcus.  The two strangers picked up two swords each of the allies and enemies that were dead.  The allies fought two enemies and Marcus took on the other two.  Marcus was using more of his skills than magic.  The two enemy fighters were exceptionally good to keep up with Marcus.  Marcus couldn't land any hit but neither could they.  The strangers were doing the same taking one enemy each, but they started getting less confident and could barely defend themselves.  Marc swung a mighty blow pushing his enemies with the other two.  Then he again used strong winds to knock them down except this time they received cuts from the wind too.  This gave the two stranger allies a chance to kill them and for Marcus as well but these guys were rolling over to dodge each of their strikes.  Marcus and the strangers were not letting any of them to get up.  Marcus decided to stop swinging his sword to use the wind to stop them from moving.  Doing this let his allies easily kill the enemies.  Marc brushed his armor off and moved on with the two Romanians.

          The path was clear so far for Osama.  He was being cautious of a surprise attack but he didn't have his Katanas out.  He started passing tall buildings that were all practically destroyed.  A window opened from one of them and an enemy attacker jumped out.  The window was only seven feet high so it was possible to jump out safely.  Osama unseathed his Katanas and quickly killed him by slicing his neck.  As the guy was falling he gave out a loud, weird kind of shriek.  Not long after Osama had killed him a large group of enemies started to approach Osama.  Now Osama could have killed all of them at once quickly but he wanted to have some fun for once.  He seathed his Katanas then formed a large ice spear which took a minute.  He hurled it at an enemy and the spear went through him and a guy behind him.  Then he started searching for a weak mind to control.  He found one in the center of them and controlled him to kill them.  The guy pretty much spun in a circle with his sword out and kill most of them then he killed the leftovers.  All of them gave the same dieing cry.  This was very amusing to Osama.  No enemy was left to kill so he made the weak minded one kill himself.  Again more enemies came except this time they came from both sides.  Osama then decided to unseath the Nanzanio blades and bid them flame.  The fiery Katanas got the enemy to flinch but it didn't scare them off.  He swung them a bit to make them flinch again but it didn't help to flinch the enemy it only made Osama laugh.  Then Osama crossed his arms and his blades with the blades down.  A split second later he opened his arms and with great force he swung his twin Katanas outward creating a growing disk of fire to cut (not literally) through his enemies.  How annoying, all of the killed warriors gave the same war cries as they died.  Now even more enemies would come, Osama thought.  He was right, they did come.

          "What the hell is this?"  Osama was now getting annoyed of the constant attacks.

          "I'll just do it the easy way," Osama again seathed his blades.  He started concentrating his energy to certain areas of the road.  Osama folded his arms slowly then quickly opened them releasing an earthquake.  The earthquake knocked the enemies to their asses and caused the buildings around them to collapse on everything except for himself.  The shaking of the ground had got him to fall as well but that didn't matter.  He quickly rose up and started off again hoping for no more killing.  He had enough fun.

          Immediately Danny was attacked, poorly though.  The enemy clumsily missed.  Danny just pushed him down and killed him with his sword.   He started saying to himself, "Taking down a country hmm, no challenge for me."  Danny started walking until he reached some buildings, tall buildings.  He heard some high pitched cries of people dieing but ignored it.  From the horizon of the path he could see enemy warriors approaching.  He wasn't in the mood for fighting so he just raised his hand and created a carpet bomb under their feet.  Most of the enemies were caught in the explosion and their bodies flew up with high pitched shrieks.  Looking at this he had to take a moment (or an hour) to stop and laugh.  However this was not smart because even more enemies came and actually reached Danny without him realizing it.  Yeah he was surprised attacked but that didn't mean he go hurt.  Danny dodged the swing of a sword and swung his own dragon blade at the guy's heart.  Danny was now in a better mood for killing because of the laughing.  Danny was powering something in his fist.  He was gathering energy to use one of his skills.  When he stopped gathering he rose his fist and hit the ground causing a titans fist of energy to appear above the enemy and slam down on them.  There was a huge noise of crashing buildings and shrieking.  Danny was a bit tired but he kept walking.  Now he saw over the horizon of the road that a hell lot more enemies were coming to attack him.  There was probably forty or fifty of them.  Danny now noticed that the warriors were wearing metal armor.  To his advantage he brought down a bolt of lightning to somewhere in the middle of them.  The attack killed about fifteen to twenty of them.  He figured he'd just do it couple of times more but no he heard the footsteps of more guy behind him. 

"Damn It," he said to himself.  What could he do he thought.  Its not a problem of surviving it was a problem of how to kill them.  Danny came to a decision.  He raised his sword straight upwards.  Lightning had struck it and had stayed.  His blade was now glowing brightly and crackling with lightning.  He brought his blade down to point at the first group of enemies and launched the lightning at them killing all of them.  Now for the other group he turned around to find a guy right behind him with his sword raised ready to kill him.  It was an overhead swing so Danny simply moved to the side and dodged it.  He put his hand to the enemy's chest and formed a fireball to kill him.  He was getting really bored.  Danny brought his sword up again except this time he bid it flame.  The sword glowed very brightly enough to impair the enemies' vision.  Danny jumped up into the air so high.  He was at least a hectometer high.  Danny threw his sword at the enemy blade first like it was a javelin.  The blade came down and when it hit the ground it created a big explosion.  The explosion killed all of them.  Danny came down a second later.  He took his blade, it magically seathed itself.  Danny started walking again.

          Luca was cautiously walking around knowing he was surrounded.  He knew what he was getting into and he had a sense of fear in him but he urged himself to be confident.  Luca couldn't just let them hide and plan an attack on him.

          He screamed, "ALRIGHT ALL YOU BASTARDS COME ON OUT AND FIGHT!"  Nothing happened.  Were they afraid of him, he thought.  Then he finally came to a conclusion.  They didn't speak English (Even though I had Romania speak it).  Luca then decided to walk some more until he could figure out a plan.  Finally he came to a conclusion.  He took out his large bow and an arrow.  He kept walking as well.  Luca was pretending to play with it.  He pulled the arrow back into the bow string.  He started to point it at random places.  He did this until he found an open shot at an enemy and fired it straight at his head.  Finally the enemies popped out of their places one by one.  Luca put away his bow and unseathed his sword.  Obviously he struck the guy closest to him.  He missed to kill him but he hit his lungs so it actually did kill him (eventually).  Luca did kill more constantly but I'm really tired of writing this stuff (Sorry Luca).  Once he killed the whole group he heard footsteps coming from both sides of him.  He saw ahead of him more enemies to come.  The other side he saw these unarmed people rushing at him.  Could they be enemies or were they protecting the city.  These guys were holding stones in their hands probably to throw them.  They rushed pass Luca hurtling the large stones at the enemy.  Probably they were on his side.  This raised Luca's spirit to see such bravery.  Luca pot his sword and his other free hand behind hi, and placed him self in a stance ready to sprint.  First Luca was on that side but then a second later a blue flash was emitted from the enemies then Luca was on the other side in the same exact stance.  Little did the strangers know, Luca did not teleport, but he dashed through the enemies cutting them in two.  It was a very gory site to see but Luca did not turn around once he was on the other side.  The strangers cheered for Luca and followed him as he continued walking.  He continued walking until he reached a place were his path and three other paths ended.   From the other paths he saw Danny, Osama, and Marcus (With the strangers) emerge from them.

          "It looks like the path merges again"

          "There were enemies in my path"

          "Me too," the other three said (I'm not showing who said those cause it's a waist of writing and think about it.  Those lines are not really important to care who says what).  The four warriors walked on the merged road that lead to a turn in the road.  When they turned they saw nothing else than more enemies.

          "Oh S#it, what are we gonna do now?"

          "Are we gonna have to fight all of them?"

          "We're here to drive them away and defend the country."

          "So how are we gonna fight them?" Danny said, "The Old fashion way or the Original fashion way?"  All of them were confused by his question.

          Without actually thinking about it Osama said, "We'll try the old fashion."

          "Great then," Danny raised his hand and blew up the enemies.

          "What the hell was that?" Luca asked.

          "That's how they do it here in the old days."

          Before the smoke could have its curtains fall enemies came out of the smoke to attack them.  All four of them sprinted at the enemies together.  GO GO POWER RANGERS!!!!!!! DO DO DOO DOO DO GO GO POWER RANGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!! DO DO DOO DOO DO GO GO POWER RANGERS, THE MIGHTY MORPHEN POWER RANGERRRRRSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

          They fought and fought some more.  Throwing magic spells and stones all they had (not really they held back to keep the earth alive).  They used their swords their skills what ever you could mention.

          Marcus shouted, "DUCK (no he was not pointing at one)!"

          All of them (Danny, Osama, and Luca) did duck, but for what?  Marc was powering up a wind attack.  Quickly he released a growing circle of wind energy around him that literally cut the enemies in two (More gory stuff eww).  Danny saw a small entrance.  He thought that more should be through their.  He ordered the rest of them to follow him through.

          He was right.  They all saw a couple of miles away a huge army.  This is where they were coming form.  There was probably tens of thousands of them all well armored on horses.  In front he could see the leader of the attack.  The guy was big really big.  He was tall. So tall that his feet could almost touch the ground (he's on a horse).  The other enemies were giving him food and bowing down to him like he was one of their gods.  This would be a problem if our heroes were not enchanted.

          "Hey where's Luca," the rest of them looked around and noticed he wasn't there.

          Then Luca emerged through the small entrance, "Hey what's going on," he started, "Whoa we have to fight them."  Luca didn't seem surprised at all.  He jogged ahead of them to squint at the big man.  "Hey you see that guy?"

          "Yeah"

          "I could kill him," the others were astonished by Luca's brave statement.

          "We know we could all probably kill him"

          "With your powers yeah you can," Luca pulled out his bow, "Watch."  He pulled out an arrow and bowed it (Whatever I can't find the word for it if it's not right).  Luca aimed carefully.  The others waited.  He shot it.  It traveled fast, rushing to the tall guy.  It went through his eye … looking … part of his helmet (I feel like a dumbass).  It went threw his skull and into his brain!

          The guy fell off of his horse.  The other enemies looked at him and it didn't take long for them to realize he was dead.  They took one look at Luca with fear in them.  They turned around and started to leave
