Chapter 6:
Aizen looked at the west before looking back to Karura who was starting to move.
"The only way I can go is west." Karura said to him.
"Soon I shall rule the west and then I rule the entire planet." Aizen said.
"You say I'm the power-hungry one, what if it's also you?" Karura asked him.
"I doubt that." Aizen said.
"Or it's both of you..." The Plague Doctor said appearing to them from around a tree.
Aizen and Karura stared at him.
"I was just passing through and thought to say hello before I head to Tirannwn." The Plague Doctor said.
"What do you want?" Karura asked.
"To see you fail and you did, but it's both of you that is failing. The cure to all things is coming very soon." The Plague Doctor told them.
"I am the only cure." Aizen said.
The Plague Doctor just chuckled under his mask.
"I will see you two later. The time is coming very soon." The Plague Doctor said walking off to the west and disappeared when he walked over a hill.
Karura slowly moved and headed west.
"Here." Aizen said giving her his torn jacket.
Karura looked at him and took it placing it around her and kept walking.
Aizen watched her go and once she got out of his sight he turned around and headed back to Ardougne.
Aizen noticed Dengakuman watching him from on top of a rock.
Dengakuman jumped and waved at him.
"You didn't kill her?" Dengakuman asked.
"Don't tell no one and I'll let you eat sweets before bed." Aizen said picking him up and placing him on his shoulder.
"Okay!" Dengakuman saluted.
The two headed back to Ardougne only to see that now Varrock flags have risen around the walls.
"Sir, we have won." Tousen said.
"Jessica is also looking for you." Gin said.
"Tell all soldiers to prepare because in two days we are leaving to Tirannwn." Aizen said.
Tousen and Gin were speechless and two soldiers next to them were shocked.
"We are going into Tirannwn this early?" Tousen asked.
"Tirannwn will know we will come for them eventually, let that be now. Two days including today and we set off to the west. Then the entire planet is mine." Aizen said.
"Sir our soldiers are-" One soldier began to say.
Aizen stared at that soldier.
That soldier shut up.
"We have a thick vast forest we have to travel through." Tousen said.
"So?" Aizen asked.
"The Elves know that land more than any of us and they are the most skilled combatants of all races. They are superior and the longest living species here." Tousen said.
"Not only that but they are well prepared for us or any invader." Gin said.
"Yet why do they isolate themselves?" One soldier asked.
"Because they don't like the meddling of other races around the planet." Tousen said.
"And we will be meddling." Aizen remarked.
Aizen sighed.
"Tell every soldier to rest and fix the airships. We are leaving Ardougne and heading toward Tirannwn in two days. That is final." Aizen said.
Tousen nodded and beckoned the two soldiers to follow him to give the word.
Gin looked around at the chaos of Ardougne then back to Aizen.
"Where do we sleep?" Gin asked.
"Anywhere- listen we are close Gin. We are so close and now we have to hurry for our only chance to take the remainder of this planet. The Elves will go to war with us, we all know this so we must take from them." Aizen said.
"Where is Karura's body?" Gin asked to change the subject.
Aizen stared at him giving him a look.
"You didn't kill her." Gin said reading the look.
"Don't tell no one." Aizen ordered.
"I won't but it makes me curious as to why you didn't." Gin asked.
"I'll tell you later. For now, we must prepare. A dark thick forest and swamp. Quite a long way to Prifddinas, the Elves capital in Tirannwn." Aizen said.
Gin nodded.
"Jessica is also here, you should go find her." Gin said walking off.
Aizen nodded and stood up and walked the other way to find her.
Norman and Beverly walked up to Gin.
"You two shouldn't be here." Gin said.
"Oh dear, we are sorry. We just wanted to make sure everyone was okay." Beverly said.
Norman just grumbled not wanting to admit he was worried.
"Where's the darn blacksmith!" Norman shouted.
"No one knows." Gin said with a shrug.
"Stupid blacksmith!" Norman shouted with his fist raised up.
That night, Aizen was looking in Karura's bedroom seeing how messy it was and with empty tapioca cups around.
Jessica was at the doorway and waited for him to turn around to see her.
The two made eye contact and walked up to one another with a tight hug.
"I'm still mad at you." Jessica said.
"You have a right to be. Once the planet is mine we will get her back." Aizen said.
"As long as she is in good hands, but you should of talked to me first." Jessica said.
"You would of argued about it." Aizen said.
"Perhaps." Jessica said.
The two then went back to hugging one another.
Jessica looked around the room.
"She sure didn't like to clean but this room has no pictures, nothing much at all really." Jessica said.
"We were orphans, she had nothing like me." Aizen said.
Jessica looked at him and before she could ask any questions, Gin knocked.
"We should sleep, two days we set off and that means we need rest." Gin said.
"We will take Karura's room." Aizen said.
"The citizens of Ardougne are accepting our rule and allowing us to stay at their places in couches or empty guest beds to prepare. Some more reinforcements from Varrock are on their way here." Gin said.
"Once we rule we will help fix up Ardougne for any damage we did to the buildings and walls." Aizen said.
"This is a fallen kingdom to our might but we might not be so lucky with the Elf Kingdom Region." Gin said.
"It's our only chance to do this before they gather and prepare." Aizen said.
"I should check on a few of our guys." Jessica said walking out.
Aizen and Gin watched her walk out and then looked back to one another.
"So two days and we head out. You know new years is coming up." Gin said.
"Really?" Aizen asked.
"Almost the year one thousand three hundred." Gin said.
"Then it will be a new year for my rule of the entire planet." Aizen said.
Gin just nodded.
"Tell everyone to sleep, I will sleep here." Aizen said sitting down on Karura's bed.
Gin nodded again and walked off.
"Aizen." Gin said stopping and looking away from him.
"Yes?" Aizen asked.
"Thank you for bringing me along." Gin said and kept on walking.
Aizen watched him go and then laid on the bed thinking and turned over to sleep.
Meanwhile in the deep swamp forest of Tirannwn.
The Plague Doctor was walking through what seemed like an abandoned village that was in the middle of a swamp and nearby was a large stone with glowing green streeks through it along with chains hooked around it to keep it in place.
The Plague Doctor looked at it before turning around and heading out only to see a small cat meowing and skipping off into the forest.
The Plague Doctor followed right behind it while looking at his notes.
"A black cat will guide you to the past." The Plague Doctor said to himself reading the papers and on the top was the word, Alexander.
"Inside houses the Breakdown Sphere, to breakdown your hearts desire to make a reality. Soon the cure is mine." The Plague Doctor said to himself.
He was then greeted by two Six feet tall Elves with bows and arrows that were aimed at him.
"You are trespassing in our territory, turn back and leave." The one said.
The Plague Doctor just sighed.
"Forgive me but I must cure you." The Plague Doctor said.
Suddenly we see the cat just licking itself to clean itself while hearing the screams of the Elves and one of them sounding like he was gasping before falling silent.
The Plague Doctors' foot stepped close to the cat.
"Lead on." The Plague Doctor said looking down at it with glowing yellow eyes coming from the mask's eye goggles.
The cat meowed and skipped along while the Plague Doctor followed right behind.
