The Golden Sun Chronicles:
Chapter III:
The East Brings War

At the end of last chapter, we spoke of the East preparing to go to war against the west. The sides were tense during this time, but something occurred, and the war began. The thing involved Azusasan's top story, the question and answer idea. The war happened right before the decree of no longer allowing question and answer and interactive stories. This decree was a strong blow to the Golden Sun community, whose top writers used those as their form of story telling. But alas, this chapter was about war, not story telling. An insult came from one side to the other, and the councils took place on either side. Would they go to war? Royal Swordsman met with his comrades, and the IRC was unsure. Should a two large cities become involved in a war due to an insult? Was a war necessary to prove points? What new technology was available for this war to end all wars? Halfway through the second week of council, a letter came from Tolbi urging for a fight, and it was signed by Azusasan herself. She had challenged Royal Swordsman to see whose city was stronger, Tolbi or Royal Swordsman's Xian. Royal Swordsman rallied his armies, but even when he did this he was unsure. Why would she challenge the might of the IRC? He did not make much sense, but for the peace and welfare of his city, he met her outside the palaces of Tolbi in battle.

This battle where fielded the largest armies ever seen yet in the world. Both army was of great size, but each varied in how they fought. Mark my words, this was not a sword and shield fight, this was a futuristic fight, with great weapons that held enormous power. Lines and lines of the helmeted troopers of the IRC, and Royal Swordsman's commandos, against robots of sorts that were Azusasan's. Royal Swordsman's men blasted down the gate, "It took the first blast, but when the second came, the gate faltered." He came through the gate, blaster in hand, and fired into the upper reaches of the lobby. Fighting snipers near the ceiling of the room, and he downed several of them. There was one left, and he aimed (the sniper), but from the other side of the room came a mercenary named Top Gear, and the sniper was killed. Top Gear came with other mercenaries, and they took part of the palace by storm. Royal Swordsman continued through the palace and finally reached the room of Azusasan. She was surrounded by her body guards, one of them a man known as Shadow and Dark Promise, a somewhat odd character. Upon seeing Royal Swordsman, he shred his cloak and went to the window, and said,

"You will be unable to take me, Royal Swordsman, I bid you adieu."

He turned into a raven and flew away. The others turned and fought, and one was taken down by a man who came with Royal Swordsman that day, a man known as Lord Hexadragon, and a very strong man too. In the room before they reached the throne room, they had been surrounded, and when taken into the throne room, he produced a weapon that he had hid in his armor. Royal Swordsman hid a weapon too, and he fought Azusasan in a fierce battle that yielded no victor. Sure, Royal Swordsman did cut down the one he fought, but it turned out that the Azusasan he fought was a clone. When they were surrounded in the other room, the soldiers that were with Royal Swordsman were brought to another room to be executed, they however escaped and killed their captors. When Royal Swordsman left the throne room he was greeted by them, and the day was one. The palace was captured, but outside a fierce battle was still taking place. Legions of troopers were still attacking, and countless wings of aircraft battled overhead. Azusasan's armies were being beaten, but she escaped, for when the battle started she fled to her underground fortress, and was not seen for many months afterwards.

After the war was over, and treaties of peace were signed, there was a parade welcoming back the armies of the IRC in Xian. Many were delighted that the war was over, and people could return to normal ways of life. With the end of the war, Royal Swordsman's good friend, Imperial Swordsman opened a café in Xian that would soon become the basis of conversation in all the land. There would all the authors meet in peace to speak about their stories. They would hold concerts there, read new stories aloud, and sports matches for fun. It was eat, drink, and be merry there. The Golden Sun Café it was, and all who knew it loved it. And that is the end of this chapter.

Note: Some people believe that it was Royal Swordsman who took down Azusasan's question and answer story, however in actuality would Royal Swordsman be dirty enough to take down a story that had more than thirty chapters? Stories that have not been reported in the early chapters, should not be reported in the later ones, since if it was bad and not following the rules, it would have been reported earlier. No, the story was removed by Azusasan herself after the decree went out for the removal of interactive and Q&A stories. Thus stories that used the review system for something other than reviewing. Someone who takes down stories with more than twenty chapters cares little for those who read it and enjoy it. They are reporting it to spite those who write the stories. If one wishes to here it, when the Golden Sun Café was reported it had twenty six chapters, and was one of the very best stories of the time period. It was reported by an author named Lumino who wanted to spite Imperial Swordsman.
