I just love writing this thing I may be a like vague and I know my fight scenes aren't that descriptive but I like it. I am trying not to make to monsters take 800 hits to kill so sue me. Once again the story continues.
On to Al De
The eight members of Odins Chosen had set out a day ago for Al De Baren. Their trip thus far had been uneventful. The creatures hadn't bothered them to much and vice versa. They didn't meet many travelers during their trip since many were still recovering for the plague. Needless to say they were very surprised to met to thieves this day. "What odd clothes. Why are they wearing all gold?" Asked Mido. "Does seem weird. Specially seeing two thieves up here in agriope territory. They are lucky to be alive." Stated Cyton.
Chaos moved his peco towards the thieves when an arrow flew within inches of his head.
"Hey what the hells?" he screamed as a archer also dressed in all gold walked out from a bush. "Watch where your aiming that thing!" The archer just smiled and said, "I am so sorry next time I won't miss!" With that the archer started shooting more arrows. The thieves leapt at Mido and Cyton. The others quickly noticed they were surrounded. Swordies, Mages, Merchants, and more thieves and archers jumped out of everywhere. All were dressed in the gold clothes and all seemed to be very happy to be attacking the guild. "Stupid noobs! What the hells!" screamed Ata. The group quickly realized how ever that these first classers were anything but newbies. Mido was forced to run her Aco skills being of no use at the moment. Slasher, Keun, and Cyton were taking on the thieves, they seemed to be all on equal grounds. Ata was fighting off the swordies while samus took on the merchants. Sou battled the mages while Chaos tried to fend off the archers. Chaos was the easiest target for them and he was having a hard time getting close enough to attack. "Why are you attacking us!?" "Because the master wishes you dead. That is all we need!" one of the archers yelled back, along with another arrow.
Samus wasn't having as hard a time as the others. He had more speed than the Merchants he was fighting. Soon he had beat them all, and quickly helped Mido out. Together they helped Sou take down the mages and then rested before helping Ata take down the last of the swordies. The thieves were finally beaten as well and the sin, rogue, and thief joined the others. They quickly started taking down archers, but not soon enough it would seem. Chaos lay next to his peco on the ground. A few arrows had made it past all his armor. His peco had taken one between the eyes. Mido spent the next few hours healing Chaos. He was able to walk but not without help. "What the fruck? Who would not like us this much?" wondered Keun. "The one responsible for the attack on Geffen. I am gonna go out on a limb here and say probably the plague too." Chaos said struggling to stay up. "We should camp out. You'll never make it to Al De that way man." "I have a feeling its not safe out here for us. We need to get to the city. Then I'll rest." "Hard head peco jockey" Chaos winced a bit at this comment. "Oh sorry man. I wasn't thinking" "Its ok. I'll miss that stupid bird though. I'll have to go and tame another one while we are in Al De."
A few hours later they stumbled into the city. All very tired and needing another few days rest. They weren't going to get it though. The city was all but deserted. Only a few people could be seen and they were packing their things. That's when they heard chanting. They followed the sound to the clock tower. It had been sealed off like every other dungeon in Rune-Midgard. As they approached they noticed four wizards all in gold. "Oh that's just great. The lower level ones sucked, these guys are gonna murder us!" Cyton whispered. The Boulder that sealed clock tower off started to glow red. "Their trying to reopen clock tower! Won't that release the plague again?" whispered Mido.
"Well we can't just wait and find out we got to stop them!" said Ata anger again rising in his face. "Chaos you get to cover. Your to hurt to help us now. Chaos?" Ata swung around Chaos was gone. Ata still had Chaos's equip so he wasn't worried about him attacking anything right now. "We'll find him later. Let's go stop these guys!" Ata droped Chaos's stuff and ran for the wizards.
"Hey you freaks what in the Hells do you think your doing?" Ata screamed.
The wizards stopped chanting and all turned around. All of them looked alike, Mage Hats and sunglasses. Even their hair was the same color and style. The only difference to tell them apart was their mouths. One had a cigarette, another a gangster mask, one romantic leaf and the last one had nothing. This last one is the one who spoke.
"We do what the master says. You must be Odins Chosen. The only fools around who would dare try and go against the masters will." Ata's face twitched. "Who's your master? I'd like to pay him a visit after we stop you four." "Stop us! HA you are not strong enough to take one of us on let alone all four. Your sage can't even stand up to us. Each one of us is a master in one element, which is not to say we don't know a bit of the others. You should tuck tail and run while you have the chance Sader!" "We can't back down now wizard. Not while you threaten every ones lives." "Your mistake"
With that each wizard cast a spell. Keun got hit by all four. He was dead before he hit the ground. "Keun!" Ata screamed. He turned and charged at the wizards. Suddenly he slammed into a wall of ice. Before he could turn around 3 more walls closed him off in a box. "Damn it! NO!" He started hacking away at the ice. Samus and Mido rushed over to help get Ata out. Neither was paying attention to the wizards. Two of the wizards broke off to attack Sou, Cyton, and slasher. While the other two went after Ata and gang.
Samus turned around in time to get hit by Lightning bolts. Mido quickly healed him as more lightning bolts came at him. He dodged the second set of bolts and leapt at the wizard. The wizard teleported away leaving Samus to stare at the other wizard, who was now casting lord of vermillion. "Oh" was all he had time to say. He and mido were in the blast radius and both disappeared in ashes. Ata saw this and screaming in rage attacked the wall even harder. The two wizards laughed at him and turned towards his other companions. Cyton and slasher dodged every attack getting closer and closer to the wizards. Sou was casting spells as quick as she could, she never noticed the other two wizards coming up from behind her. All four wizards cast spells once again. Sou never knew what hit her. Cyton and slash heard her scream but kept moving anyway. They knew if they stopped now they would be dead too. Suddenly both were incased in ice boxes just like Ata. "Damn it!" each said in their respective box.
The wizards needed the time to recharge a bit. They would never admit it but if they hadn't trapped the last three they were as good as dead. All their energy exhausted by this point. They all sat down on the stairs enjoying their brief respite.
"Wonk!"
"What was that?"
"What was what?"
"Wonk!"
"There! That! Did you hear that?
"Wonk!"
"Yeah I heard it that time. Sounds like a peco"
"A peco? In the city on it own?" the wizards eyes went wide in realization. From the shadows of clock tower he emerged rushing as fast as the peco would go. He lifted his lance above his head and tossed it. The wizard hit the ground lance sticking out of his head. Chaos pulled a dagger out of his belt and tossed it as well. His eyes seemed to glow green as the other wizard hit the ground with the dagger in his throat. The other two wizards wasted no time and started to run. Chaos pulled the lance out of the dead wizard and gave chase. The wizard with the gangster mask turned down an alley as Chaos went by still chasing his companion. "Bad move wiz!" Ata yelled as he cut him in half.
Chaos was quickly gaining on the final wizard. His new peco already used to a rider. He knew of course it would be harder once he had his equipment on, but for now the peco was responding well. Zipping around corners lance at the ready. No mercy would be shown to these people. He would find their master one way or another and destroy him. The wizard took a sharp right and skidded to a halt. The alley was a dead end. The wizard started one last spell as the sader turned to corner on his peco. He was about to say something to Chaos when he got ran over by the peco.
Chaos spun the peco around and started slashing at the wizard with the lance. Making sure that he didn't kill him. He pushed the lance through the shoulder of the wiz and lifted him up. The wizard didn't know how this was possible and why was this saders eyes glowing green. Chaos slammed the wizard against the wall level with him.
"Whos your master!?"
"I can't tell you he would kill me if I did!"
"Do you think iwas going to let you live anyway!?" Chaos shouted the wind seemed to blow harder when he did this. "Micron! That's all I know! I only know his name!" "Wheres his base at?" "I don't know he moves around a lot!" "Fine!"
Chaos slammed his fist into the wizards face. He continued to do this till the Wizard wasn't even recognizable. He then pulled out the lance and let the wizard drop. The wiz somehow started to stand, and with that Chaos shoved his lance through the wizards heart lifting up the lance and wizard, he turned the peco around and returned to his guild members.
Ata turned around when he heard the pecos steps. All he could see were two green shining orbs. That is until Chaos appeared, blood soaked, with a wizard on the lance. The sheer strength that required was enormous. What was with those eyes? Chaos dropped the lance and hopped off the peco. His eyes returned to normal and he wiped himself clean.
"So Sou, Mido, Keun, and samus are all gone?"
"Yeah their gone."
Days later the four remaining members of Odins Chosen started towards morroc. If anyone knew about these gold clothed people, it would be someone in morroc.
