As they sat waiting for Wuya to appear, there was a deathly silence over the entire area. Kimiko's eye flickered over every inch of the horizon, wondering when they were going to appear. She saw Chase Young not far away, his face set in concentration. Raimundo next to her was staring determinedly towards the front, waiting, his fist clenched.
"Where are they?" She whispered.
"I'm not sure, but the people on watch said they were coming." Said Chase Young.
"Are they sure?" Asked Kimiko.
"They're sure!" Said Chase.
"Well it looks like they're wrong!" Said Kimiko.
"They can't be!" Said Chase.
While they sat there arguing quietly, something suddenly struck Raimundo and he looked around at Omi and Clay who both had the same expression. Kimiko suddenly stopped.
"They're here …" She whispered.
They all span around and from behind, Wuya's great army was approaching. It was already much larger than their own.
"Oh my God!" Whispered Kimiko.
"God can't save you now." Said Chase, standing tall.
Wuya's eyes darted across the faces of the army in front of her. Standing at the front, were Chase Young, Kimiko, Raimundo, Omi, Clay, Dojo, Master Fung, Katnappe and Jermaine. Behind them was an army, although considerable, distinctly smaller than her own. This was just how she had planned it. They had prepared to attack from the opposite direction. She had the advantage.
"Reverse attack!" Called Kimiko.
As their army swung around, Wuya lifted an arm and smiled.
"I want the dragons, spies and Chase Young alive!" She called, before swinging her arm down in an order to advance.
"Hold them back!" Called Chase Young.
Kimiko turned to Raimundo.
"Rai, fire wall!" She said, "I need the right wind direction!"
Raimundo nodded.
"Wudai Mars Fire!"
"Wudai Star Wind!"
As Wuya's troops attempted to advance, the two dragons created a wall of fire high enough to block Wuya's entire army from view.
"Quick thinking." Said Chase.
"We need to keep them back!" Said Omi.
"First we need to cut them down to size," Said Raimundo.
He summoned all his strength and sent a blast of wind at the firewall. As it struck the flames, they were swept backwards, flowing over the front of Wuya's troops. The screams were soon drowned out by the roar of the flames. When the fire subsided there was a pile of burnt corpses blocking at least part of Wuya's troops.
"Advance!" Called Master Fung.
The army stepped forward as Wuya's own troops clambered of the bodies in front of them. As the army clashed, the dragons were the first in line. Chase Young transformed into his true soulless form of the great dragon type creature whose great claws slashed across the bodies of five at a time.
Kimiko pulled out a gun and shot the first soldier straight through his helmet. A burst of flame shot from the palm of her other hand, throwing another two back into more oncoming soldiers.
They seemed to go on forever. No matter how many she took down, more came at her. She kicked one in the stomach and then thrust the flat of her palm up into his nose. It shattered and blood poured down. She threw him into another soldier and shot another.
She looked around for Wuya; she was too far away. She would have to rely on one of the other dragons to get to her first.
Kimiko punched someone in the face and then span around, bringing her foot down on his neck, it cracked and she kicked him aside. Another two arrived in his place. Where were they all coming from? Plunging her knee into the stomach of the first she shot the second over the top of him.
There was a growing pool of blood mixing with the dirt and this was very slowly turning to deep mud as it started to pour with rain. Rain in a battle scene … how dramatic.
Raimundo kicked a soldier in the face and slammed his elbow into the nose of one behind. This was getting messy and there were just to many to beat like this. He suddenly began drawing in the wind from all around them. As it was sucked in, it drew the air away from them, pulling the remaining air from their lungs. In a matter of minutes, their chests collapsed. Within in a very short time there was a large circle of corpses surrounding Raimundo.
With a small gesture, he sent the air flying back out, knocking back a large part of Wuya's army. As they regrouped, more came from his right. He jumped up and landed on the first, knocking him to the ground and swinging another round, knocking another five from their feet.
He grinned brightly as he grabbed the arm of another soldier and swung him backwards over his head into one coming up behind him without even turning around. He had missed this. He glanced around and saw Wuya. She wasn't too far away, but even as he looked, more soldiers were getting between him and her. Bastards, he'd show them.
Clay stamped his foot down on the mud and it rippled, throwing the approaching soldiers off their feet. He was a good few inches taller than most of the people there and quite a bit wider. As his fist smashed straight through the helmet of one of Wuya's soldiers.
He looked around for Wuya. She was busy ripping through the onslaught of the Rebellion and Chase's army. Damn, he couldn't get to her.
As a bullet narrowly missed his ear, he grabbed the soldier's outstretched arm and slammed it down onto his knee. It cracked and the soldier let out a cry. Clay threw the soldier into his allies and then summoned the mud up, which swallowed them.
This was the way to kick butt.
Omi moved faster than almost anyone on the battlefield. He had always had to skills to be the best … even if he was a little slower on the uptake sometimes. However, if there was one thing he knew, it was fighting using his element.
As the rain came down, he felt his strength growing. He smiled brightly and sidestepped as a bullet flew at his head. He sighed and summoned the water from the ground. It slid out of the mud, drying it and the ground hardened. The soldiers stopped and looked down at their feet, now cased in rock solid mud. Omi dropped the large amount of water back on top of them and it swept over them. Many were swept away by the large tidal wave. Those, whose feet were too deeply encased in the ground, had suffered the full amount of the attack. Those that weren't dead, at least had broken ankles from where they had been wrenched backwards, snapping the bones.
Omi quickly turned to see Wuya. She was in clear view. He had a shot at her, and he wasn't going to pass it up.
This was his chance to make up for what he was done. Even if he couldn't remember it.
Chase Young was knee deep in a puddle of mud and blood as the soldiers that had once been his were cut down, one after the other. He dug his claws into the neck of one while biting through the flesh of another. The warm blood spilt into the growing puddle and he jumped into the air, landing down on another soldier and ripping his throat out.
This is never what he had pictured; he was killing his own troops, and yet it didn't seem to bother him that much. He glanced around and saw Wuya. Both and Omi were struggling to get to her. Omi had a clearer path and would get their first, unless he had something to say about it.
He jumped high into the air and landed just in front of Omi.
"Stay back young monk." He said, "The betraying witch is mine."
He half expected Omi to argue, but he didn't. Omi understood what real betrayal was having both experienced it and done it. He didn't need telling twice.
As Ashley span around to face a new branch of attackers, she felt a sharp pain in her side and a burning sensation. She fell to her knees in pain and winced. She looked down at her side; blood was tricking out of her side. The bullet had gone in deep. She took a deep breath and tried to get to her feet, but gasped and fell back down. More blood slipped from the wound.
She blinked, keeping her sight in focus and pulled out her gun. She shot a soldier running at her, then another and another, but she would never be able to hold them off like this. She was up on one knee, trying to hold them off single-handedly. It wasn't going to work.
As things began to blur in front of her face, she saw a familiar outline of someone landing in front of her and attacking the approaching soldiers, holding them off. She heard a call from behind her.
"Jack-Bots! Attack!"
She blinked and Jermaine came into focus, fighting off Wuya's troops. She began to fall backwards, but Jack caught her.
"Jack? What are you doing here?" She asked.
"I need to help!" He said, "And I need to look after you."
She blinked and looked at the scene unrolling in front of her. The Jack bots were heaving some heavy weapons. Jack had obviously given them a decent upgrade for a change. They were actually winning and they were giving Jermaine enough cover to beat the soldiers straight down.
"May I be of service sir?" Asked a bot, next to Jack.
"Medical bot check Ashley out." He said, "And tell the others to get out there and help any of our injured soldiers! Check the dragons first; we're gonna need them."
"Yes sir." Said the bot scanning Ashley.
"Jack … you're one amazing guy." Said Ashley.
"I know," Said Jack, without blinking as he pulled out a gun and shot someone behind him without turning around. It looks like the dark magic was more useful than even Chase Young could predict.
"No internal bleeding, no lung damage, slight damage to one rib." Said the bot, "Nothing fatal or permanent."
"Then get it out of there." Said Jack.
"Yes sir." Said the bot, pulling out a long pair of tweezers by the look of them.
Ashley winced as it plunged them in and then pulled them out quickly. The bullet was clasped firmly in them. It then sterilised the wound and stitched it up and put on a bandage at extreme speed.
"Now go check on everyone else." Said Jack.
"Yes sir." Said the bot, turning and leaving.
"You okay Ash?" Asked Jermaine, standing in a pile of unconscious or dead soldiers.
"I will be," Said Ashley, standing up shakily.
Wuya plunged her hand into the chest of an incoming Rebellion soldier and ripped out his still beating heart. She flung it aside and quick as a flash, broke the neck of one of Chase's soldiers. She looked around and smiled. Death, blood and gore everywhere. This was how the world should be; at her feet.
She glanced at all the familiar faces. Kimiko was currently surrounded by a large number of her soldiers, but she was still beating the crap out of them. She was still too far away to be any sort of threat right now. Clay was clearing away large amounts of her army without much effort, but there were always more soldiers. Raimundo was trapped behind a group of soldiers, fighting to get through to her. Omi was making his way quickly over to her, but Chase Young stopped him and took over. She felt something as she saw that great beast rip through her soldiers to get to her. Was it fear? Or was it satisfaction that he was forced to kill his own soldiers?
Raimundo had just fought his way over and at the same moment, he and Chase got to her.
"Leave it Raimundo!" Snapped Chase, "She's mine!"
"Not likely lizard dude." Said Raimundo, "I've got an urge for some serious butt kicking with her name on it!"
"Sorry to interrupt boys," Said Wuya, "But neither of you are of any particular threat to me."
Chase and Raimundo looked at each other and Chase changed back into human form. They both smiled.
"NOW!"
(A/N) Wow … battle scene. Never written an entire battle before so tell me what you think. Next time: Wuya, Chase and Raimundo's battle.
I'm back at school so it's back to regular uploading if that because I have exams coming up so I might have to be doing revision nearly every night. These being my GCSE's and possibly the most important exams of my life … so yeah please excuse any lateness in uploading. I do have an excuse.
Tell me what you think. Lots of luv, Becky.
