Chapter 10: Setting Up

"Everyone! Are we ready for another duel?" Konah questioned to his troops, including Troy of course.

"Yes O Konah!" All his troops yelled.

"Alright then! Let's go!" He shouted back.

Konah, and everyone else marched down back to Royal Arena, determined to make another comeback at more trophies, however, Troy could feel a feeling that Konah wasn't going to be greedy for trophies. A few minutes later, they finally arrived at the familiar red arch and blue arch castle like arena.

"What's the next king's name?" Troy asked Konah.

"Hmm, I will go ask him!" Konah replied back.

Konah mounted on his tower and shouted to the other king about his name.

"My name is Raul!" The other king shouted with confidence.

"Nice to know that. Are we ready to battle?" Konah shouted back.

"OF COURSE!" Raul screamed happily.

"AH! Did you eat a Sunny-Side Up egg for breakfast or something?" Priscilla shouted at Raul angrily.

"Whatever! Let's start off with a mortar!" Raul shouted back.

At once a mortar spawned out of nowhere next to the bridge, but its shell started loading up really slowly.

"Fire!" Konah commanded, and Priscilla shot a couple of flaming arrows at the mortar dealing significant damage to it.

"Take this and this!" Raul exclaimed and spawned a Knight, then a horde of minions over the Knight.

"Let's do some more fire!" Konah shouted, and Priscilla shot down three minions. Then Troy started putting his plan into action. When the knight was just about to slash one of the arena towers, Troy jumped forward and kicked the sword away from the knight.

"Gah!" He said in frustration.

Troy landed a left spin kick to the face, and then low kicked the knight in the right leg. The knight screamed and toppled sideways. Troy then could see a Hog Rider thundering towards him grasping his solid black hammer with pride.

"Perfect! Now let's start the jump take down phase!" Troy snickered, and then jumped on the Knight and bounced off like a launch pad. The knight coughed in pain and exploded into elixir, and the elixir was like a boost to the bouncing process. Troy charged up a thrust punch and then punched the hog rider off the wild hog successfully and really timed perfectly.

"Offo!" The Hog Rider shouted and quickly rolled to the right. He still had the hammer in his hand and tried swinging it towards Troy's head. Troy ducked and then punched the hog rider in the stomach, was about to uppercut him in the jaw when he could see a bomb roll towards him.

"HUH?!" The Hog Rider said, confused, but Troy laughed. With his quick natural reflexes, he rolled away leaving the bomb exploding the Hog Rider with ease.

"All right! Nothing but a swift nice bomb to blow up the party!" Priscilla chuckled.

Troy smirked as he saw everyone cooperating to his plan. He told them about his plan just a few seconds ago before they left. A Mini P.E.K.K.A was sprinting towards a musketeer as fast as he could, and the musketeer had a 15 cannonball stacked up like a wall in front of her. Just at the right time, the musketeer fired at the wall making the 15 cannonballs avalanche down on the Mini P.E.K.K.A covering it up instantly.

Troy could see P.E.K.K.A stabbing up a nearby prince up by the torso. Then the P.E.K.K.A still grasped on the prince with her sword and started ramming her sword with the prince at the end of the sword to some nearby barbarians which made the pain worsen.

Then Troy could also see a Baby Dragon heating up the moat into some really hot water with his fiery breath, and Troy could now see a Knight push another Knight into the moat, and the Knight got killed instantly. Well, that is from all that shouting in pain and exploding into elixir with no exception. Then the elixir was so bright that it almost looked like the color magenta. Everyone on Konah's team was working together and defeating Raul's team with ease, and Raul's team landed only five hits in total to Konah's arena towers.

"All right! Everyone is doing great! Keep up the good w-" Troy started to say when he felt a drop of water touch his black hair. More water droplets fell from the gray clouds above, and Troy could feel a sense of loss in this now.

"Great! Now it's raining!" Troy said in despair, but still had a bit of determination.

"Don't give up!" Priscilla shouted.

"Yeah! We can just try to make the best out of this rain!" Perry added.

"Hmm…" Troy hesitated. Almost all of Konah's troops guarding the moat were destroyed, and Raul's troops were getting closer.

"You're right!" Troy exclaimed. "We'll make some kind of strategic advantage technique!"

Troy thought super hard and concentrated and focused on a backup plan. Troy smirked at himself. He knew his new plan was going to work.

"Okay Priscilla, Perry! Here's the plan!"

(1 MINUTE LATER)

"Make the push!" Raul shouted at his new Hog Rider. The Hog Rider was pushing a Knight with some Minion Hordes hovering above them. Following the Hog Rider was some goblins with their fierce knifes.

For some reason though, Konah wasn't spawning any troops, and the whole entire stadium started murmuring and whispering why that blue cloaked King wasn't defending his towers.

"I can't believe it! This is great!" Raul said in disbelief, but was about to support his combo more when out of nowhere some arrows flew high into the air from behind one of Konah's arena towers. All the arrows which were flaming, which took out the minion horde. Still, some of the arrows were durable enough to go through the minion horde and strike the hog rider off his hog. The Hog Rider screamed in pain as he fell off the hog, rolled down on the smooth grass and splashed into elixir. Then Perry splashed some water with his lance on the Knight and the goblins blinding them a bit.

"GRR! I'll just add some more!" Raul said, but then could see a fireball smash into his tower and burning some of the built cobblestone on the tower.

"NO! It's too hot! GAHH!" He screamed and tried putting out the fire with his cloak, and the whole stadium laughed at him.

Perry jumped high into the air and drilled his lance smashing the Knight in the torso. The Knight winded backwards and smacked his back against the goblins making them fall down. One of the goblins managed to get up however, and made its way towards Perry. Perry smiled and the goblin was perplexed.

"Why are you smiling? IT'S I WHO SHOULD BE SMILING!" The goblin cackled, but wasn't smiling. In fact, he was annoyed by that. All of a sudden, Troy jumped from Konah's arena tower and smashed the goblin in the face. The goblin stumbled backwards and then staggered back up. Troy diagonally rolled to the right, and the goblin ran forward, but Troy then spin kicked him in the face, causing him to nearly make a back-flip wipeout. The goblin landed on his back and was sneering in pain.

"Eat this knife!" The goblin shouted and ran towards Troy and Perry. Perry and Troy laughed. Then Perry blocked the goblin's knife jab to the face and Troy stomp kicked the goblin in the chest at the same time. The Goblin fell backwards in surprise, and slipped on a puddle nearby. Soon, the puddle's color was purple.

The rain wasn't helping Raul's tower that much, because now it soon started to stop. Raul was furious, and none of his troops could help him.

"So… looks like it's a loss for me!" He shouted with anguish.

"Well, you know that was only a small drizzle, nothing much else!" Konah laughed. The whole crowd in the bleachers started cheering, as Konah launched another fireball into Raul's tower.

"Gah! AHHH!" Raul screamed. The fireball quickly impacted against the tower and drowned out Raul's screaming.

BOOM!

Smoke started forming in front of the tower, and Perry and Troy snickered.

"Yeah! Let's go get the trophies!" Perry and Troy said at the same time.

Perry and Troy grabbed two trophies away from Raul, who was growling at them. So much for only two golden trophies!

"See? I knew you would be great with a duel plan!" Konah congratulated Troy as the whole team was walking back.

"Thanks!" Troy replied back. But in his mind, he knew one thing for certain. He prayed again to the Universe for help just in case his plan went wrong!

"Are we going to have another arena duel with a different king?" Perry asked.

"I think two battles ought to be enough for today! When we arrive back home, you can get some glorious rest!" Konah said, smiling.

"Of course! We can just keep fighting all the time!" Priscilla muttered, and Troy was the only one who could hear her. Those ten words really hit Troy hard. Troy can't just keep fighting all the time.

"There is a time and place for everything." Troy once heard someone in the universe say to him. He couldn't remember who it was, but he sure knew that was a true fact.

"I'll go hang out by moat control system if anyone needs to talk." Perry concluded, as he saw the big castle looming up in the distance.

"Sure thing. Thanks for letting us know." Troy said slowly, wondering where he should go. He finally got it.

"I'll probably go hang out by the library for a few minutes." Thought Priscilla and Troy. Konah nodded and Perry.

"I might us well visit our elixir collectors! They have been going under some serious maintenance!" Konah said, as they were just a few feet from the drawbridge.

"I guess I'll head over to the library!" Both Troy and Priscilla thought again, and started making their way to the library, regardless that they were about to go with another person as well!
