*****************
Chapter Four...The First Real Battle
"Oh my--," was all Terra could say.
Sabin immediately began concentrating his energy on a Blitz technique. When he released it, he managed to defeat several monsters that were coming at him. Terra let loose her Ultima spell, devastating a large portion of the army surrounding her. Cyan used his sword techniques to vanquish his foes. Celes used her runic blade to absorb the enemy's magic attacks. Edge used his twin blades to cut through the enemy lines as the twin wizards set forth their magic. Kain was jumping on enemies left and right
Cecil found himself away from the others off to the side of the battlements. He also found himself outnumbered. There were eight of them and one of him. He managed to defeat two of his adversaries, leaving six to contend with. As he fought a particularly tough opponent, he failed to notice a monster sneaking up behind him, his sword ready to strike.
Edgar, in truth, was not far from Cecil. He had just finished killing another monster and found himself open to help a friend. He looked over the battlefield and concluded that Cecil was the closest and most in need of help. Then he saw the creature sneaking up on the king.
"Look out, Cecil!" he yelled, rushing over. He reached the king just as the monster was ready to strike. He pushed Cecil out of harms way, but didn't have time to dodge himself. The beast's sword went hilt-deep into his side. He yelled out in pain, but managed to stay on his feet. Cecil got back to his feet and chopped the monster's head off. He turned to the injured king.
"Edgar!" he yelled. Edgar grabbed the hilt of the sword and pulled it out.
"I—I'm okay. Just—watch—your back." Edgar stammered out, picking up his own sword where he had dropped it and going off to continue to fight. Cecil tried to stop him, but was stopped by another wave of monsters.
Sabin and Terra had taken care of the giant, and the remainder of the army was retreating into the forest surrounding Baron. "Come on, let's go after them!" Edge yelled, wanting to finish the battle.
"No, let them go. We want their master," Kain stated.
"Edgar, your hurt!" Rosa noticed the nasty wound that continued to gush blood from the young king's side.
"I—I'm fine," Edgar protested. He was very pale and breathing heavily.
"No, your not," Terra stated firmly. "Come inside so we can take care of that."
Not one to argue with two ladies at once, Edgar agreed and Terra helped him inside. Rosa stayed outside to tend to everyone else's wound. After that, they all returned to the castle's interior.

AN: That's the end of chapter four. I know it's a bit short, but it seemed like a good stopping point. What awaits these warriors next? And will Edgar recover in time to help his friends? Read, review and check out the next chapter.
