The Narnian army stood firm in their battle stances in the camp, their grips tight in their respective weapons. At the head of the army stood Peter, Susan, Jacen, and Oreius, ready to lead them into battle to rid Narnia of the white witch once and for all.
"Are you ready, my friends?" Oreius asked the children.
"I've never been more ready in my life." Jacen replied.
"That's the spirit, Jacen." Susan said, patting him on the shoulder.
"Thanks, Susan. Now I know how my grandfather must have felt fighting in the Clone Wars." Jacen replied.
Peter and Susan smiled at him, then turned their attention back to the edge of the woods as they waited for Jadis and her army to approach for battle. As the children and Oreius thought about how the battle would go about, they were startled to hear the sound of a loud lion's roar right behind the army. Everyone immediately turned around to see Aslan running at full speed towards them, with Jaina, Edmund, Lucy, Anakin, and Mr. Tumnus. Thrilled to see them returning safe and sound, the Narnian army let out a huge welcome cry as the group approached. Peter, Susan, and Jacen were smiling and near tears as Aslan and the horses brought their families to them.
"Thank the maker you two are allright!" Jacen exclaimed as he embraced his brother and sister.
"We are, but you wouldn't believe what we had to go through." Jaina said, smiling at her twin.
While she and Anakin told Jacen about everything they went through involving the rescue, Peter and Susan were embracing Edmund, Lucy, and Mr. Tumnus and hearing their stories about the journey to rescue Anakin.
"How did it feel to finally use that dagger, Lu?" Peter asked his little sister.
"It felt pretty good, I felt all grown up." Lucy said, hugging Peter even tighter.
"Your sister is indeed quite good with a dagger." Mr. Tumnus replied.
Peter and Susan laughed as they continued embracing their younger siblings. Jaina, Jacen, and Anakin came over to their friends to see how they were doing and to express their happiness at being reunited after Anakin's ordeal. Their happiness was cut short by someone saying "I don't have time for this, kill them all."
Everyone turned around to see Jadis had entered their camp, followed by her huge army of monotaurs, giants, ogres, cyclopses, and other ugly creatures. Ginnabrik was standing right next to Jadis cackling evilly and waving his small dagger around in the air. Aslan's army immediately drew their weapons into a battle stance, ready to fight for their land.
"Oh, you really think you can win again?" Jadis asked.
"Not only that, we'll make sure you never return to Narnia again." Peter said.
"I think not, little king. It is you and your pathetic family and friends who will never see Narnia again." Jadis said smugly and drew out her wand from her dress.
Mr. and Mrs. Beaver, who were watching from a nearby cliff with the gryphons behind them, looked panicked at what was about to happen. "Oh dear, they're gonna need all the help they can get." Mr. Beaver said.
"Don't worry, love. They have the three great warriors with them. I'm sure they can handle the witch again." Mrs. Beaver.
Peter and Edmund drew out their swords to prepare for battle, with Jaina, Jacen, and Anakin activating their lightsabers to ready themselves to fight. Susan had her bow and arrow positioned right towards Jadis's army, while Lucy stood off to the side with Aslan. She would come and assist the wounded with her cordial as needed.
"Aslan, why aren't you going to fight with them?" she asked.
"Because, dear one, this is their battle to fight. I will only intervene when absolutely necessary." Aslan replied.
Lucy nodded solemnly, then she turned her attention to the battle that was about to take placed. Clinging tightly to Aslan's mane, she watched as Peter cried out "For Narnia! And for Aslan!" followed by Jacen screaming "May the Force be with us!"
All three of the Solo children felt a great rush as they lead the charge into battle with Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Mr. Tumnus. It was a little frightening to see all of the horrible, wicked creatures that made up the witch's army come at their army full force. But as soon as Jacen swung his lightsaber at a monotaur and took it down with one blow, he felt higher that he had ever felt.
As the fighting in the camp continued, swords and axes were swung about and lives were lost on both sides. Jadis was watching smugly from the side as the fighting viciously continued. Even though she knew that Aslan's army had an advantage now with the addition of the Solo children and their lightsabers, she had a plan that would deal a serious blow to that army and weaken their tactics to rid Narnia of her forever. All she had to do was wait for the perfect moment to put it into action.
As the battle continued, Jadis noticed Susan raise her bow to shoot an arrow at one of her ogre warriors. Here's my chance! Jadis thought as she calmly made her way over to Susan. As soon as the girl fired her arrow at the ogre, hitting him in the neck and knocking him down, she realized that Jadis was coming right up to her. She quickly grabbed another arrow from her quiver and set it inside her bow, aiming it at the witch.
"You're next, and Narnia will be free from you forever." Susan said.
"Oh I don't think that will happen, little queen." Jadis said, knocking the bow and arrow out of Susan's hand with her wand.
Shocked, Susan quickly scrambled to the ground to pick up her bow and arrow. Unfortunately, as soon as she touched her weapons, she felt a searing, sharp pain in her arm. Grabbing her arm, she felt blood beginning to seep through her fingers and cold, hard metal sticking out of the wound. Looking up, she noticed Ginnabrik had plunged his dagger right into her arm and was grinning smugly at her.
"Not so gentle now, are we?" he cackled as he yanked the dagger right out of Susan's arm.
Susan yelped in pain as Jadis patted the dwarf on the head and told him to wait for more orders. Desperately trying to stop the bleeding as much as she could, Susan gripped her arm tightly as she curled up in a ball on the ground amongst the fighting. As she trembled and shook in pain, Peter and Edmund happen to glance over from their swordfighting and noticed how badly injured their sister was.
"Susan! Oh no!" Edmund screamed as he yanked Peter over to Susan and helped her stand up.
"Go get the Solos! Tell them we need help!" Edmund yelled at his brother.
As Peter dashed off in the middle of the battle to find Jaina, Jacen, and Anakin, Jadis drew out her wand from her dress and stabbed a faun with it, turning into cold, hard stone. Finally, she thought she would have her revenge and rule over Narnia once more.
(A/N: Well, here I am on spring break working on my story. Please forgive the bad writing again, writing battle scenes are not exactly my specialty. But I am amazed at the response this story has gotten so far, I didn't expect all the reviews and story hits it has received. I'll be sad when this story is finished, but I will be posting the first chapter of the sequel soon after this one is done.)
