…By the bandit fortress…
Harris was sleeping soundly by the gate to the bandit stronghold. Two bandits were looming over him. "Hey! What do you think you're doing?" One of the bandits yelled. He got no response. "Don't you realize that you're on bandit turf?" Another asked. Harris was still sleeping soundly. "…Ok… we warned you." The first bandit smirked. He pulled his fist back, and sent a punch to Harris's face. However, Harris caught his fist. A yawning sound could be heard from under his mask. "…That was a good nap…" He mumbled. It was at that moment that he noticed he was actually holding onto a fist, and two bandits were looming above him. He then crushed the bandit's hand, and kicked him in the face, killing the bandit. The second bandit backed away in fear, but it didn't take long for Harris to finish him off as well.
Harris then sighed. "Pathetic." He groaned, and prepared himself to resume his nap. It was at that moment that Kit and Yureidoru appeared out of thin air. "Teleportation?" Harris asked, getting out of his blasé state. "Yeah…so this is the bandit fortress?" Yureidoru replied. "Yes." Harris stated. The structure was a rather large five-floored structure made completely of thick brown stone, with very large oaken doors. "Well… let's go." Kit stated. Harris sighed. "No time for subtly." Yureidoru said. "You're right… let's bash our way in." Harris stated. "I'm waaaay ahead of you." Kit spoke, holding Durandal deviously in her hands. "Move." She stated. The other two backed away. With one enormous swing, the door was sliced through. Kit withdrew her blade from the door, and kicked it down.
There were about thirty or so bandits eating in the mess hall (which was right one the first floor at the entrance) when the door was suddenly slashed through by a large, glowing blade, and then kicked down. They all just stared at the three with their mouths wide open. The three looked at the bandits in disgust. A barbarian is a better word to call them by. They had yellow teeth, smelled disgusting, and only wore pants and boots, not to mention that they were hairy. Plus, their daily meal was gruel. They were basically the enemy of all that is civilized.
"Ew…" Kit stated. "… How… uncivilized." Yureidoru said. "…" Was all that came from Harris. Suddenly, all the bandits yelled out something in unison that sounded like "Blaaargh!" They each turned into something different, and rushed forward. "Kit… seeing as you already have your weapon out… want to take care of this?" Yureidoru asked. "Gladly." Kit replied, holding her blade deviously again. "Looks like she's gotten hyper…" Yureidoru whispered to Harris, as they viewed Kit wildly swinging Durandal around, killing the bandits quickly. "…Either that or she's just having fun with her legendary weapon… it's easy to get hyper off the power on one's first experience… which I'll soon have to test out." Harris whispered back. "Yeah… neither of us have tested out our legendary attacks… want this stronghold to be our test area?" Yureidoru said. "Heh. Definitely." Harris replied. They then noticed that Kit had destroyed the last of the bandits, leaving a large pile of corpses. "Well… what are you waiting for? Come on!" She yelled. Harris shrugged, and Yureidoru sighed… and they followed Kit up the stairs to the second floor.
The second floor seemed like a series of hallways. "Which way do we go?" Yureidoru asked. "Don't look at me, I've never been here before." Harris replied. "Look! Treasure!" Kit yelled, finding a treasure chest. "Definitely hyper." Yureidoru whispered. Kit opened the chest. "Hey, look, fifty coins!" She yelled. "Random chest with fifty coins… useful enough." Harris stated. There were three doors in front of them. "Why don't we each check a door?" Yureidoru asked. Both Kit and Harris nodded. Harris opened the door on the left, Kit opened the door on the left, and Yureidoru opened the one in the center. The two side rooms each contained a treasure chest, and the middle door had the stairway to the third floor behind it. "More coins… this will prove handy." Harris said, shoving the twenty coins into his pocket. "Hey! An elixir!" Kit exclaimed, grabbing it from the chest. "Now THAT is something we can really use." Yureidoru remarked. The other two nodded, and they went up the stairs that were behind the center door.
They climbed up to the third floor. "Let me see… which way, now?" Kit asked. Well… it's either left or right…" Yureidoru replied. "…Let's go left." Harris stated. "Ok." Kit said. The three walked down to the left. There was a single door. "What's in here?" Kit asked… turning the doorknob. "Occupied!" A rugged voice yelled out. The three backed away slowly, so the bandit wouldn't hear their not rugged voices, and start a commotion. "Must be the bathroom." Kit stated. The other two simply nodded. "They have to go somewhere…" Yureidoru sighed. They went to the right, and what they saw… wasn't very pretty.
The sleeping quarters. Three hundred, sleeping, groggy, and grumpy bandits… all snoozing away… and the stairway to the fourth floor was… across the sleeping quarters. "Ok… no… loud… noises." Kit whispered. The other two simply nodded. Loud noises equals bad. The bandits practically couldn't even fit in the room. There was minimal walking space… and if the bandits woke up… minimal fighting space… which would be very bad. Three hundred bandits take up a lot of room. The three, very quietly, walked silently to the other side of the room, and, somehow, made it to the stairs. They ascended the stairs to the fourth floor. They heard two figures talking. It was Brendan and Draco D' Zasclir.
"Father, I hear that there's gonna be a big war coming up." Brendan said. Harris peaked around the corner, to see the two. Brendan was as they saw him before… pretty much like a bigger and much stronger version of the normal bandits… but Draco… He wasn't like the normal bandits. He was a towering giant: big, buff, and over seven feet tall. He had faded blonde hair on his face… in the form of a beard, and sideburns… but more hair there than on his head. He actually wore a humongous bearskin over his back, and various furs of animals he killed himself. He had the look of a killer in his silver eyes. Apparently, he looked older than 25… more like 45… meaning that he's been living forty-five years before the evolution.
"Yes, son. A war will be coming… the war of the gods, actually." Draco stated. He had a deep rough voice, but his voice actually had intelligence put into it… unlike the bandits. "Are we… all going to die?" Brendan asked. "I'm not going to lie to you… most likely, everyone's gonna die after this… so when the war begins, we make the best of it by robbing Grandville blind! Whaddaya say?" Draco asked. "Definitely." Brendan replied. "Ok… I'm going up to my chamber. Call me if you need anything." Draco said, marching up the stairs to his chamber on the fifth floor. Brendan nodded, and turned to go in his room.
"The war of the gods… it's… coming?" Kit asked. "It would appear so." Harris sighed. "They're being awfully cheery if the end of the world is approaching." Yureidoru replied. "Looks like we'll have trouble, though. Draco is on the top floor. Brendan is down here… on the fourth floor." Kit said. "There are two rooms here. One is Brendan's, and one belonged to his brother… if we could somehow sneak around…" Yureidoru said. "Well… we did come here to kill both Draco AND Brendan, yes?" Kit said. "True." Yureidoru replied. "Let's just kill him." Harris stated.
The three came out of their hiding spot behind the corner of the wall, and turned to enter Brendan's room… but nobody was there. "That's odd…" Kit stated. "Oh well… this just lets us get to the fifth floor, now." Harris said. "Still…" Yureidoru sighed, as the three went up the stairs, and to the top floor. There was a single room to the left, and a hallway going straight, leading to very large double doors much like the ones at the entrance. "Lets go to the left, first." Yureidoru stated, as the three did so. They went inside. It appeared to be Draco's bedchambers. "There's nobody here… let's go." Kit said. "Hold on…" Harris began, making his way over to the desk. "This… will be useful." He then said. "What is it?" Yureidoru asked, looking at the paper Harris held in his hands. "Apparently, Zyalia, Kirth's top general, had a meeting with Draco about two weeks ago. Zyalia came as a representative of the silver rogues, asking if the bandits of the world would like to merge with the Silver Rogues. Draco said that he'd sleep on it, and hasn't contacted her since… she did leave the directions to her palace if he decided to agree, though." Harris explained. "Interesting." Yureidoru sighed. "So… this will lead us to where Zyalia is?" Kit asked. "Most certainly… though… the palace is in the deepest and most unexplored area of the desert… where the sandstorms are the strongest." Harris stated. "That isn't good. Heavy sandstorms would disrupt my teleportation abilities… we're going to have to walk through it." Yureidoru sighed.
"Look, we came here to rid the world of bandits… and we're very close to doing so… but now, we know where Zyalia is… so if we finish our clean up, here… we can be off to attacking a major silver rogue headquarters." Kit explained. "Definitely. It will be an extremely heavy blow to the silver rogues if they lose their third strongest person, and their desert base." Harris said. "Who're the other stronger two?" Kit asked. "Zalthyr, Zyalia's older brother, and Kirth, who is the greater god." Harris replied. "How do you know so much about this?" Yureidoru asked. Harris shrugged. "I studied."
"Enough talk. Let's just beat the crap out of Draco, already." Kit said, as the three walked out of the bedchambers, and into the bandit throne room. Kit used Durandal to 'open' the doors again. Inside, Draco was sitting upon his throne, and fifty bandits were poised to attack. Brendan was beside his father at the throne. "You've done well to get in here… but I'm afraid that we've been expecting you." Draco smirked. Suddenly, from the way they came, the three hundred bandits that were once sleeping came in, leaving the three with nowhere to run. "It's over. Accept defeat." Brendan said.
Harris sighed. "This is amusing." He said to himself. "Um… what's amusing? In case you haven't noticed, it's three against three hundred and two!" Kit exclaimed. "Kit… you take Brendan. Yureidoru… you take Draco… and I'll take out every last one of those bandits." Harris smirked. "Think you can take on three hundred? Not likely… bandits… attack!" Draco yelled. The three hundred bandits rushed forward. Harris stood in between the bandits and the others. "You'll have to get through me, first." He stated. Yureidoru transformed into his Mewtwo form, and floated toward Draco, while Kit turned into her Roy form, and dashed over to Brendan.
"So, Draco… you've never lost before?" Yureidoru asked. Draco transformed into his Ganondorf form. "Never. The only ones who can best me are the very gods, themselves." Draco stated. The Ganondorf form was like him: very big, and with the same facial features. He had large brass knuckles on. "Let's go." Yureidoru stated. "Gladly." Draco replied, lunging forward off his throne.
"I remember you… you were the one who killed my brother." Brendan said, transforming into his Link form. It was basically a bandit-like Link wielding a one-handed axe, and a metal shield. "Well… let's see if you fall as easily." Kit stated, in her Roy form. The two weapons then met each other.
Harris stared down the three hundred growling bandits. "Losers. Come fight me if you will… but I'd advise against it." He sighed. The bandits were angered by this, and rushed forward. "I warned you." He muttered, transforming into his Mario form.
Coming up: Ok. Over 2,000 words… it's late at night… and I'm getting tired. Time to stop there with an evil cliffhanger. Tomorrow, I will only get one chapter in… but once a day is enough, right? The past two days I've been updating like crazy. Anyway, this is my longest chapter so far… yay. Well, tomorrow, I'm flipping a coin on a Kyle/Alyssa chapter, or a Mountain chapter. Expect either one.
Until Next Chapter,
