Road To Ragnarok – Chapter 4
Bowling Bash?

"Nina… is- is that you?" Rachel said while she trembled. "Why are you an Assassin?"
"I am here to do as my master's orders…" Nina said sternly. She drew out her Stilettos and faced Rachel. Then she charged towards Rachel, attempting to stab her.
"NO! Stop!" cried Jeffery. But he couldn't find his Spear. It was missing.
"What the hell?" Daniel was confused. He tried to cast a spell but it missed Nina. Nina went closer and closer to Rachel.
"Why are you doing this?" Rachel trembled. "Aren't I your best friend? Don't you remember what we've done for each other?" But Nina kept quiet and ran even faster.
"Don't do this!" cried Jeffery. He ran towards them.
But it was too late. Nina and Rachel were face to face with each other. Jeffery and Daniel saw Nina's Stiletto at Rachel's chest. Blood sputtered out from Rachel's chest. It spilled all over Nina's face. Nina's face was unpredictable. Rachel gave a last breath and felled to the ground – dead.
"NO!" cried Jeffery and Daniel. Nina quickly turned and gave a sign that looks like she's trying to them to keep quiet.
"Quiet! Or else everyone will find out who you two really are! Rachel's not dead!" she said. Jeffery and Daniel turned to each other.
"You saw that earlier, that Assassin was a fake," said Jeffery. "Why makes you say that Rachel's a fake."
"Take a look at her properly," said Nina. Daniel went closer to the dead Rachel. It slowly turned into a dead demon. Daniel rolled his eyes at Jeffery.
"You saw that didn't you?" Daniel asked Jeffery. Jeffery nodded. Both of them turned to Nina.
"Where's Rachel?" snapped Jeffery. Nina pointed to the bench. Rachel was sleeping there.
"The Assassin was a fake, the 'Rachel' you killed earlier is a fake," said Daniel. "In that case…" Daniel and Jeffery took out their weapons.
"What the?" said Nina.
"Rachel! You're awake!" Rachel saw Luna, Daniel and Jeffery. She got up and realized she was at Luna's house in Geffen.
"Jeffery! Daniel! You're both all right! Luna, long time no see. Where's Ni-?" she turned around and saw Nina sitting on the floor at a corner. She was tied up and gagged with ropes and chains.
"You're awake…" Nina finally said. Luna went over to her and slapped her hard on the face.
"HOW COULD YOU DO THIS!" Luna roared. "YOU'RE NO LONGER AN ACOLYTE! EVERYONE'S AFTER YOU, ASSASSINS! WHAT DID YOU DO TO OUR COLLEAGES?" But Nina kept quiet. Luna couldn't take it anymore. She took out her wand and faced Nina.
"If you want to kill me," smirked Nina. "Do it. After all, I AM an Assassin."
"Rachel," whispered Jeffery. "Are you sure THAT is Nina? I mean, when I saw her, she behaved differently." Rachel was silent. Daniel was crutching his fist, while Luna was getting ready for a spell.
"Time to die," Luna said. She raised her wand and shouted, "Fire Bol-"
Rachel sprang forwards and stood in front of Nina. Then the bolts came and it hit Rachel. She was very badly burned till she fell. Daniel, Luna and Jeffery quickly went over to her.
"Why did you do it?" asked Luna. "Assassins are heartless! They kill for pride! If we let her live, she'll kill us!"
"Because," Rachel said weakly. "She is not heartless. She's my friend. And I know she won't kill."
Everyone stared at her except for Jeffery. "You mean," said Daniel pointing to Nina. "THAT'S HER?" Rachel nodded. Again, everyone stared at Nina, looking very fierce. Luna was exceptionally quiet. Then she raised her wand higher above her.
"DIE! FIR-" Again before she could finish, they heard a very loud bell. Luna and Nina flinched while Jeffery covered his eyes and Daniel and Rachel fell back. Everyone were shocked, especially Daniel and Luna because they looked nervous when they heard the loud ringing of the bell.
"It's the emergency bell!" yelled Daniel. "When somebody's intruding Geffen, that will ring." Luna took her and Daniel's Staff and ran off, leaving Nina, Jeffery, and Rachel behind. Nina managed to remove the ropes and chains from her. She went to Rachel and placed both of her hands above her and a green glow appeared from her palms. Slowly, Rachel's injury started to recover.
"It's the Prontera Knights," said Nina. "They'll be in trouble." Jeffery just kept quiet. He nodded, and the both of them went off to help them. Rachel was left there, tucked onto a bed.
At the scene of the battle (Outside Geffen), it was a bloody sight. The Knights killed magicians and many were injured. Daniel and Luna were there too. Luna summoned spells while Daniel quickly brought the injured to the hospital.
"This is too much!" screamed Luna. She was having a hard time. She had to dodge the Knight's attacks from hitting her. She was running towards the City when a Knight slashed her at the back. Luna felled to the ground. Blood spilled everywhere and it drenched the ground. The Knight drew his Katana and plunged it into Luna. Suddenly, the attack was blocked and the Knight accidentally let go of his Katana and it flew aside.
"WHO ARE YOU!" shrieked the Knight.
"John, you're always in a bad temper," said a voice. The Knight saw another person in front. It was Jeffery.
"General! General!" said one of the Knights. He was running towards someone. He had white hair and was sitting on a rock.
"Yes?" said the General. He is the Head of Knights in Prontera.
"We've found someone from Prontera!" said the Knight. "One is Sir Jeffery, a Knight. But a young girl is with him, and we're not sure who she is. I don't think she's a Magician."
"Bring my Pecopeco. We're going there."
"Yes sir!"
"ARGH!" shouted Jeffery. He was running away from a stampede of Knights who were trying to kill Jeffery. "NINA! WHERE ARE YOU!"
"ARE YOU A COWARD OR WHAT?" Nina roared. She too, was dodging the attacks and stabbing the Knights. Her left hand and right leg was injured. "YOU'RE A GUY AREN'T YOU! GET REAL!"
At the same time, the General came riding his Pecopeco. He is accompanied by a group of Knights. "Sir, those are the two of them," one of the Knights pointed to Jeffery and Nina.
"I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE!" Jeffery stopped, turned back to the stampede of Knights and charged towards them.
"BASH! BOWLING BASH!"
BOOM!
All the Knights flew back from him. Most of them were knocked out while some were seriously injured. The other Knights were afraid and back away from him. Some were scared, while some were prepared. Nina rolled her eyes at him.
"Knights these days," she said dully as she stabbed another Knight. "What kind of skill did he invent?"
The General was impressed by Jeffery's strength. "Hmm, interesting," he said.
"WHO WANTS A PIECE FROM ME?" Jeffery roared at the Knights. The Knights were even more scared than before. But the General gave a signal to attack him again. Immediately, the Knights started to charge at Jeffery.
"Grim Tooth!" cried Nina. Thousands of splinters emerged from the ground, piercing the Knights. It didn't worked out too well, because many managed to dodge the splinters from going near them. Nina was disappointed.
"Spear Boomerang!" the General shouted. He threw his Spear and it started to spin around and around, like a boomerang. It came flying towards Nina. Nina managed to dodge it but the Spear kept on coming back.
"Jeffery! I'm counting on you!" said Nina. She dodged the spinning Spear once more and this time, she held her hand up and ran towards the General.
"Envenom!" her hand started to glow into purple. She stepped onto the General's Pecopeco and griped onto the General's face and tried to force him out of the Pecopeco.
"Spear Boomerang!" The General said. Nina didn't know that he had another Spear. The Spear flew out from the General's hand and Nina managed to dodge it but it managed to slit her waist.
"Interesting," the General said. "But I think we should end this." His Spear came and he grabbed it.
