This chapter took longer than I had anticipated. It was suppose to go up a week earlier but I just never got the chance to type it and upload it since I was busy with test and quizzes. But if you read closely and try to bind the mumbling words of the Oracle together you might have a faint idea of what is going to happen soon.
Chapter 8
A hut in the middle of no where
"...dra...kil...bounded...enfus...together with these gems enfuso!" shouted the Oralce finishing her spell and the bright red light of magic disappeared as 2 gems that were floating in the middle of the light dropped down on to the floor. The Orcale picked them up and encrusted them into necklaces.
"What was all the light about?" asked Kaos as he walked into the hut.
"Just doing a little magic charm. Nothing much. Here take this" said the Oracle handing him the necklaces. The ruby one is for you to wear and the green one is for Killerbum. When both of you venture into the darkness of Chronomage's realm, these magical necklaces will do something special when the time is right. No questions asked. Just give it to Killerbum. He is now stronger than you think he is. Trust me on this and let him go with you to defeat Kaos. You will need all the strength you can get" said the Oracle. "Now go."
Confused but knowing better than to question the Oracle's judgement, Kaos put the ruby necklace around his neck and kept the emerald necklace safe in his pouch. For a minute when he put on the ruby necklace he felt the warmth of the hands of someone familar but he can not recall. Shrugging off the feeling he spread his dark wings and flew off into the night sky.
Camp Fire of Ace's Troops
"Psst, hey Killerbum come over here" said Jack
"What?" asked Killerbum
"Well-" but before Jack can tell Killerbum Kaos flys down in front of them.
"Kaos!" shouted Jack in a whisper.
"Here, it's from the oracle, I don't know what she did to it, but your suppose to keep it on your neck all the time and she said something about it activating when the time is right" muttered Leo and he flew back into the sky.
Killerbum stared at the necklace in his hands. It looked like a plain emerald necklace but there was something familiar about it. He put the necklace on and it had some warmth in it.
"Now what was it that you wanted to tell me?" asked Killerbum
"Oh uh nothing, forget it. Just get some sleep" said Jack. "The attack is tomorrow."
Tomorrow morning
ERRRRR thump thump thump thumpSounds of explosion and cannon blasts could be heard all through the battlefield. Men were beginning to rush into battle fumbling with their helmets and shields while running.
"Shit" muttered Killerbum as he woke up.
"Come on man lets go! The attack started!" shouted Jack.
Ace was the first one to reach the mini mountain and began to hike up it. He slayed gobins, orcs, and skeletons as he climbed up it. Reaching the top he was in the middle of a frantic and burning enemy camp. While the rangers of the enemy were trying to take down the aircrafts Ace fought sword to sword against giants. Red and Mat rushed up the mountain following Ace and slayed the goblins that were coming towards them with their swords. Legacy and Dritz climbed the left side of the mountain and used their stealth to their advantage. Legacy fired shot after shot with his bow while Dritz picked off the tough orcs and their tough armor with shots to their necks, thus leaving them in a bloody heap gagging on their own blood.
"YARGH!" shouted Ace as he hacked down with his sword and cut the giant's hands off and jumped up and hacked down again this time slicing the giant in half. Pushing up his visor Ace wiped the sweat from his head and pushed his visor down again. This time he aimed to kill the zombie's that were giving his troops some trouble since regular blows and stabs didn't affect them much. He ran towards one zombie and performed a round house kick and snapped the zombie's neck which killed it instantly. Then he stabbed another zombie advancing on him to his left in the head. Another kill.
He unsheathed his knife and flicked it at another zombie that snuck up behind one of his troops that was fighting a orc. 5 minutes into the battle and the lesser minions were retreating into the final defense of the mind atlar to regroup and counter attack. Encouraging his men to give chase they were stopped dead in their tracks when greater and lesser demons appeared in midair and slash and decimated a large amount of men. The demons slowly made their way through the Imperial Forces and killed anyone that stood in their way. Captains after captains fell at their feet.
Legacy fired his bow rapidly in attempt to take down the leading greater demon but it just put its paws up and stopped the arrows and engulfed the shafts in flames. Ace waved his sword like a maniac and jumped high into the air and hacked down once again killing the surprised demon. With a swift motion he ran up to the nearest greater demon and with an upwards slash he killed the demon and it burned into ashes. Mat ran forward with his battle axe and decapitated a lesser demon with a singel swing. He hacked down at another lesser demon that tried to slash him which resulted in the demon losing his arm.
The demon howled in pain and anger he was threw another slash with his left arm but Red ran right up to it using Mat's crouched body as a ramp and sliced the demon's hand off and kicked the demon in the air. Dritz finished it off with a burst of bolts from his crossbow. While Ace was busy dealing with the demons a black dragon ridden by a zamorak monk flew into range spitting fire at Ace's troops increasing the casualties. Legacy took careful aim at the rider and let his arrow fly, but just as it was about to connect the black dragon spun around and with a flap of it's wings the arrow lost it's course.
Plains
In the plains Jack and Killerbum found a crashed gyroproctor but the only thing that was broken was the bent wooden wings. They rebuilt it and fixed the wings up.
"You know how to fly one of these?" asked Killerbum as the aircraft came to life again.
"Hell yeah! I looked at the designs and customized it to fit us humans!" shouted Jack over the engines.
"Alright! I'll take the crossbows and you take the pilot!" shouted Killerbum.
As he said this a black dragon flew over them and began to breath fire on the mountain.
"Shit! We gotta hurry!" shouted Killerbum.
Climbing into the pilot and shooter seat the gyroproctor took off in to the air and flew towards the black dragon.
"Going in hot!" shouted Jack as he titled the aircraft left and began to descend.
The moment the dragon was in his crossbow's range, Bum began to click furiously pushing bolt after bolt into the dragon and with a lucky hit he shot the zamorak monk rider down and he landed with a splat on the earth. The dragon however continue to do it's course and fly through the air breathing fire here and there not noticing that bolts were being slammed into it's scally body until Bum hit it in his head. The dragon screech in pain and breathed fire at the aircraft but Jack outmanuevered the dragon. Persitant in killing the pesky aircraft and frying the humans the dragon flew after it with full speed. However the aircraft was still faster than it and now and then he would be struck by bolts making him flinch a bit.
Then all of a sudden the aircraft dived straight up and the dragon crashed into the wall of another mountain which snapped it's neck and paralyzed the dragon. Breathing in it's the last breaths the dragon inhaled and exhaled a burst of flames at the aircraft that was trying to escape it's falme. The dragon only managed to light the aircraft on fire.
"Shit! We're on fire! I'm gonna get us as low to the ground as possible and then we jump!" shouted Jack
"Roger that!" shouted Killerbum over the wind and as he readied himself to jump.
"Now!" shouted Jack as he jumped off and Killerbum jumped off to another side and the gyroproctor slide to a halt in the dirt and got consumed in flames.
"Damn, that was one crazy ass ride" commented Jack.
"Yup" replied Killerbum.
Jack and Killerbum regrouped with Ace on the mountain after 2 hours of treking through the plains and hiking up the mountain. Once they reached the peak they were greeted by whitsling and reconigtion on taking down the black dragon.
"Officer meeting in Ace's tent! All officers report to Ace's tent right now!" shouted Red.
Ace's Tent
"First of all a congragulations on taking down the dragon and it's rider. Now to the first order of buisness. All of our forces have made it to the peak of the mountain. We have at least 300 dead and still counting. The casualties this time was more than usual because we did not anticapate a surprise attack by demons and a dragon. I'm sure that resistance will get stronger the moment we head deeper into the realms of Chronomage's empire. We have sent the wounded back to Falador to be treated. Reinforcements are coming from the rebuilt barbarian village even though the barbarians there are more civilized, and understanding. Enough of that though. Legacy, Dritz, I want you to post your rangers on full alert around the mountain perimeter. Mat, get a squad of your best watchmen and watch the eastern flank of the mountain, Red get your squad of mixes and watch the front flank of the mountain, Captain get your men and watch the left flank. I want everyone to be on full alert. Sound the alarm if you spot any number of hostiles. LT get your squads of combat patrol together and have them stay close to the patrol squad. Jack stay close to the front flank and be ready to run around if any more wounded soldier should turn up on the battle field. Killerbum join up with Jack's squad to provide cover to the medics" ordered Ace.
"No questions? Good dismissed" said Ace dismissing his officers.
