Chapter 1: Beginning the match.
Disclaimer: I do not own Runescape, Jagex does. Now, don't sue and get on with reading the story!
Several people were standing around the coloured portals that led to various parts of the CastleWars arena. As even more Warriors, Mages and Rangers gathered around the open chest to store and retrieve items they would need for the up-coming match, a few Warriors entered the portal of Guthix and were teleported to a small and sparsely populated cave. Standing in a small group were several high level Warriors and Mages, chatting amongst themselves. They were Lyndis667, OmegaHunter7, Kurse666, Zanakin666 and Zelda691. Omegahunter7 raised his voice in protest against Lyndis' plan of attack and came up with his own plan.
"I think we should get Kurse to guard the flag, along with Zanakin while Lyndis667 and I attack the base of our opposing team, Saradomin. In the meantime, Zelda691 and other players lead a small force sufficient enough to hold off any high level Saradominists."
"But OmegaHunter, you are only a level 72, how do you think that yourself and Lyndis could possibly onslaught the enemy base AND capture the flag as well as bring it back to our standard?" Kurse questioned OmegaHunter.
"Well, my agility is in the 20's, so I think I should be able to run into the Saradomin base with a few bandages to recover stamina and make it out without getting to badly maimed. Don't you think, Lyndis?"
Lyndis nodded with appreciation. Somewhere, a disembodied voice said loudly and clearly: "The next CastleWars match will begin in 30 seconds. Make sure that all of your equipment is in working order and that you have sufficient runes or arrows."
Everyone in the small group fell silent as they checked their weapons and armor. OmegaHunter had a slight bit of trouble getting his poison-tipped Dragon dagger out of it's holster and after struggling to rip it free he checked his Adamant armor. Wearing 'Addy T' as he affectionately called it, OmegaHunter looked like quite the rich person. Meanwhile, Zanakin checked his Magic Shortbow, making sure the string was tight enough to fire arrows at a decent speed. He then checked his Black Dragonhide armor for any holes until he was satisfied. As a test, Zanakin fired one bronze arrow into the ground to test the string. It didn't snap which was a good sign. With 10 seconds remaining, Zelda, Lyndis and Kurse went over they're armor as last minute checks and when they were happy, the teleporter activated, carrying all of the occupants of the Zamorak team cave into the Castle of Zamorak.
As if at once, everyone in the barrier-protected room of the Zamorak castle main room rushed to the bandage table and stocked up on as much bandages as their packs could hold. When everyone was satisfied, they set out to do their jobs. OmegaHunter and Lyndis set out to rush the Saradominists base and steal their flag while Zanakin and Kurse walked up to the top floor casually to protect their own flag. Zelda and a small band of high level players climbed down a floor to get some barricades before heading up to the flag area and setting them down around the stairs before leaving for the central area. No sooner than that, a two man group of Saradominists had made their way to the centre are and began cutting down some of the lower level players in Zelda's group.
"Take out the level 100!" screamed a level 48 before getting cut down by a single blow from one of Guthan's Great Axes. The axe hit a 53 due to the fact that the level 100 player had his ultimate strength prayer on.
"And so, the battle has begun." Kurse whispered to Zanakin. "Do you think they will get past our defenses? We have OmegaHunter mercilessly hacking down all contenders while Lyndis makes his way to the flag; and we also have Zelda cutting away at a level 100 with a band of level 40's. Kurse continued.
"I think we will win this match" Stated Zanakin.
They surveyed the match from afar.
END OF CHAPTER ONE.
Well, seeing as this is my first foray into fanfic writing in the Runescape category, I hope people will like it. Anyway, I have used the names of my close friends on Runescape. So, don't worry, I didn't just pluck names at random. I hope you enjoyed the story!
