Chapter 2: The battle.

Authors notes: OK, I know that I might be slightly unrealistic in my story with damage and stuff like that, but, I don't care because I'm having fun writing the story. And I'm sure you people are enjoying reading it as well.

Disclaimer: I do not own Runescape, Jagex does. Now, don't sue and get on with reading the story!

Several people charged the Zamorak base, unaware that the two strongest people in the Zamorak team were guarding the flag. Zanakin shifted restlessly while Kurse already knew what was about to happen.

"Zanakin, several Saradominists are headed for our flag. Should we stop them?" Kurse questioned.

"No, let them come to us." Replied Zanakin. "We shall destroy them with one swift blow." He continued.

As the Saradominists charged the steps leading to the flag area of castle Zamorak, Zanakin and Kurse got into battle poses and drew their weapons. Zanakin unsheathed a Dragon Longsword while Kurse drew his Magic Shortbow and strung 3 arrows into it.

"Ready?" Asked Zanakin.

"As I will ever be!" Replied Kurse.

The Saradominists climbed the steps, only to find just Kurse and Zanakin protecting the Zamorak flag.

"Do they think we are stupid?" Yelled one of the Saradominists.

"Come on!" Screamed Zanakin. He lashed out at the first of the Saradominists standing on the steps, slicing him in two with the mighty Cleave attack. Blood flew as the body disintegrated into a mist, carrying the spirit of the person with it back to the castle Saradomin respawn room. Kurse fired his rune arrows, which lodged themselves in another two unfortunate's chests, causing them to break up into red mists before respawing in castle Saradomin's respawn room. After several more merciless slayings, Zanakin met his match against a level 94 dressed in full Dharoks Barrows armor. Sparks flew as Zanakin and the level 94 battled while Kurse held off any more reinforcements from Saradomin.

Seemingly letting his guard down, Zanakin let a single strike through before dodging it and stabbing his Dragon Longsword into the belly of his opponent. The Saradominist gasped and looked down at the red blade jutting out of his gut before collapsing and disappearing into a red mist and respawing back in castle Saradomin.

Kurse drew a rune arrow and charged it with green energy, readying his snapshot attack for any Saradominists brave enough to venture near the flag.

Meanwhile, inside Castle Saradomin, OmegaHunter and Lyndis were hacking feverishly to get to the flag.

"Lyn, cover my back!" OmegaHunter snapped.

Lyndis upholstered his dragon Battleaxe and glowed with a red aura. Lyndis' rampage had begun.

"GO!" Lyndis ordered OmegaHunter. OmegaHunter nodded his head and climbed up the stairs leading to the trapdoor directly under Castle Saradomin's flag. Hiding behind one of the walls, OmegaHunter grabbed the first person he saw and whipped out his Dragon Dagger.

"Wow, Zammy!" Zelda yelped.

"Oh, jeez! Sorry Zelda." OmegaHunter said quickly.

OmegaHunter let go of Zelda's throat and told him to go help Lyndis. After that, OmegaHunter paced up the stairs and felt slightly weakened as a bolt of purple energy struck him solidly in the chest. He grunted and walked towards the mage. Dressed in white, matching the colours of Saradomin, the mage hid behind castle Saradomin's flag, hoping that in his altered state, OmegaHunter wouldn't find him. However, OmegaHunter's sight cleared up and he saw a hint of white. Drawing his Dragon Dagger again, OmegaHunter flung the dagger at the mage. It struck the mage in the side as he was darting around the flag.

Letting the poison from the Dagger seep in for a moment, OmegaHunter recalled his Dagger by casting telekinetic grab.

The mage staggered and looked down at his right side. He was surprised to see the small red blade sticking out of his right flank, only to fly out seconds later. OmegaHunter cackled madly as he placed his Dagger in it's holster and hung his shield on his back. Grabbing the flag pole and wrenching it free of it's pedestal, Omega continued back down the stairs, past Lyndis and Zelda and several Saradominists before finally getting to the stairs that led to the ground floor of castle Saradomin. Carrying a few bandages in his backpack, Omega used one, boosting his stamina back to full before he ran as fast as he could back to castle Zamorak. He ran into the centre area before being snared by a high level mage. Dropping the flag for a moment, Omega pulled out his Dagger and stabbed the mage straight through his chest. Ripping the Dagger free caused blood to spray out of the wound. With the spell gone, Omega replaced his Dagger and picked up the flag again. He began to carry it back past the Middle Island when he saw something that made his heart sink to his foot.

Kurse was slain and Zanakin was fighting for his life against two level 60's wielding halberds and striking out at him from afar. Zanakin took a blow to the side but immediately stitched it up with a bandage before Omega jumped up the stairs and ran up the second pair of stairs to get to Zanakin. Omega noticed that the top of the flag was slightly sharp and could act as a spear if used correctly. He arrived at the top area where the Zamorak flag was located and promptly speared both the Saradominists before using several bandages on Zanakin.

"Thanks, Omega." Panted Zanakin.

Omega passed the Saradomin flag to Zanakin who placed it next to their own flag. The flag faded slowly, as did the rest of Zanakins, Omega's, Lyndis', Zelda's and the freshly respawned Kurse.

For the first time since the match had begin, Zanakin and the others felt anxious about receiving their scores and kill counts.

The disembodied voice announced the following:

"OmegaHunter7, you made 7 kills and captured the enemy flag."

"Lyndis667, You made 28 kills and did not capture the flag."

"Zanakin666, you made 32 kills and did not capture the flag."

"Kurse666, you made 22 kills and did not capture the flag."

"Zelda691, you made 19 kills and did not capture the flag."

"The total kills made by the Zamorak team is as follows: 108."

"The total kills made by the Saradomin team is as follows: 72."

"Therefore, by capture and kill count, Zamorak wins. Each team member receives two CastleWars tickets each. I hope you enjoyed your game."

The announcement ended and the members of team Zamorak breathed heavy sighs of relief and slowly trudged over to the bank chest to get what ever they need for the next match.

END OF CHAPTER 2.

Well, I hope you all enjoyed that chapter. Don't worry, this won't be the final chapter of the story. Although, it could be, depending on what I fell like doing.

Bye, for now!
