Link: What are you so happy about?
LE: I have no homework. Therefore I can update. Therefore the readers can continue reading.
Marth: Hey y did u make you me….
LE: Quiet Marth. The readers haven't read the story yet. We don't want them to know what happens. Right?
Marth: I guess.
Roy: So who's doing the disclaimer?
LE: I think we have a volunteer.
Marth and Link: *look at Roy*
Roy: What?
LE: you volunteered yourself to do the disclaimer.
Roy: Oh fine. Luinedhel Elfobbit owns none of the characters besides Celebfea.
LE: now on with the story *smiles*
Chapter 10- The BattleAt the words spoken by Legolas, Roy asked, "What's that supposed to mean?"
"We learned that an orc army is heading this way. We need to team up with the dwarves to fight this threat." Celebfea spat out the word dwarf.
"Khiedd. U tutr'd dnurg fi'd neji dy zuknd." Marth raised his eyebrow at Roy's comment. (Great. I didn't think we'd have to fight.)
"I thought you would fight anything to get through." Marth remarked.
"I would, but this isn't our fight. We shouldn't even be here. How did we get here anyway? Oh man, why did we go? Why did we have to chase our friends into the woods?" Roy started to freak out.
Marth, on the other hand had never really seen Roy explode like this before. He always thought Roy had a pretty calm exterior and pretty much a pretty calm interior. He knew that Roy was good at hiding his feelings; he just thought he'd never see Roy explode in public like this. Granted he'd seen Roy madder then this during battle, but that's different. Marth had nothing to say.
"Roy, calm down. You did what you thought was a good idea at the time." Link calmed Roy down. Link then finished his thought. "Roy, you're a general. Be glad your army isn't here to see their calm general explode just over one of his actions." Link stressed the word calm.
Roy took a deep breath and replied, "You're right. I'm sorry for my outburst."
Roy apologized after regaining his composure. Roy looked at Marth and tensed. There on Marth's face was a look of surprise. He knew that Marth hadn't seen him at this level before. Roy went over and whispered reassuringly to Marth that he was okay. Marth then gave a hint of a smile. Roy hadn't really seen him smile before regained his composure so his surprise wouldn't show.
"Now what?" Link gave Marth and Roy a questioning glance.
"Nothing. Nothing at all." Marth smirked.
Link looked between them. He knew that something was exchanged between them, but knowing better then to continue he kept it silent.
"Battle ready!" A voice shouted loud and clear. The three friends took out their swords. Link took out his master sword, Marth took out Falchion, and Roy brought out the sword of seals. They stood ready. The elves, men, dwarves and one hobbit stood together. The elves were in one section, men in another, and the dwarf and hobbit in another section. They all were facing the threat. They didn't have to wait long until they saw a river of black coming towards them.
Marth heard Legolas shout, "The battle of the five armies is about to begin!"
"I guess despite all they're differences they agree on one thing." Marth smirked at Roy.
Roy smirked back.
"They shall fall by our hands!" Link shouted.
With Link's cry the three friends entered battle. Marth and Roy stayed close for some of it, but ended up being separated. Arrows were flying out onto the battlefield. Marth was soon surrounded. He had holes in his cape from too-close-for-comfort attacks. He was getting weary, yet he still fought on. He had to survive. He couldn't die in an unknown land, and he had a battle to finish in Altea, if he ever got back.
At noticing his own weariness he called out, "Roy!"
This gave an orc enough time to hit his shoulder. Roy heard Marth's plea for help, after killing an orc. He started killing his way to Marth's side. He took no chances.
'Hold on' Roy thought.
He wasn't the only one who heard his cry. Legolas fought his way to Marth's side with Celebfea on his heels. Both elves arrived just as Marth hit the ground. They stood they're ground, killing every orc that got too close. Actually killed every orc that they possibly could without being too far out. When Roy arrived he saw Marth on the ground, Falchion by his side. Hoping the elves would cover him for a while, he bent down to make sure that his greatest fear, losing his best friend, wasn't true. He glanced at Marth and flinched. Seeing his fear was false he stood up and defended himself as well as his friend. He fought with a fury equal to that of Cu Chulain*. He fought like nobody has ever seen before. Link hadn't seen him this ticked off before. Only one person had. That person was lying on the ground unconscious. He never strayed and never seemed to tire. Finally, the dawn sun started to rise, and the orcs retreated. Roy, feeling wearier then ever, knelt down beside Marth and started to clean and dress his wounds, as best as he possibly could. The whole time Marth seemed to be having a dream or a nightmare and only one word was audible. Falchion. Roy seeing that Marth's wounds were bandaged he sat down and was about to rest when Link's voice stopped him.
"What happened? Is he okay?" Link sounded concerned.
He didn't believe what he saw. Marth had, from what Link could tell, three big gashes. One on each arm and then one on his leg. Link looked at Roy's wounds and was stopped when he heard a voice behind him.
"Let me help." Celebfea offered.
"Thank-you." Roy stated before falling into deep sleep.

Notes:
Cu Chulain- a Celtic Mythological hero that at the age of seven picked up his weapons and conquered three powerful enemies because of his battle rage. No one dared stand in his way. He was too young to even think about picking his weapons, yet a druid fueled him into doing so. He was strong and nearly unbeatable in battle.
Roy: Wow. You compared me to him?
LE: There's something you don't know Roy.
Roy: Oh? And what would that be?
Link: Yea, what are you talking about?
Marth: *looks questioningly at LE*
LE: Oh the fact that he dies at the age of 19. Killed by a childhood friend.
Roy: *looks at Marth*
Marth: I would never do such a thing.
Link: Marth's right Roy. I think. Anyway. I think that she related him to you because of how aggressively you fought.
LE: Exactly. Now will you please review? I really hadn't planned on having no homework. Won't happen very often. I guarantee that. Also, I have new story. It has four made up characters in it, and some characters people know from Dynasty Warriors. Legolas is also in it. Please look at it. Tell me yea or nay. It's something I've never tried before, so some input would be nice.
