It had been 2 months since Maren had met Chief, Maren's wounds had healed and Chief had taught her all he knew in close combat. All was going well until one day STRONGFELLOW got word of the couples desire to dethrown him. "Damn it Josh how could you let this happen?!" demanded STRONGFELLOW who quickly stood up and stabbed his follower in the chest with the knife he had attached to his wrist. "Get this piece of shit out of my kingdom..NOW!" STRONGFELLOW'S other followers quickly dragged the dying man out of the room shaking form head to foot in fear for their own lives. STRONGFELLOW sat back down and looked at his most loyal subject Jacob, "you know what we must do one of our own has betrayed us for this women Chief must pay for this deed with his life."
2:30 am Chief awake gagging for air looking to his left he seen that 3 of STRONGFELLOW'S followers were standing on his chain choking him, Chief looked to Maren for help only to see that she too was being choke, before long the couple passed out from lack of air. Maren awake in a dark room tied from head to toe in rope as she opended her eyes she meet the person she lease wanted to eye to eye, the dark knigh himself STRONGFELLOW. "Well well looks like the little bitch who though she could kill me has awoken, too bad you missed the first part your friend Chief has been double crossing you the entire time once you are one of my followers you are a follower for life." Maren quickly looked at the floor trying not to show her anger how could she have been so stupid as to trust Chief, what if STRONGFELLOW was correct that Chief had double crossed her? STRONGFELLOW grinned and looked at Maren, "i know that look you want to strike me..well i do aim to please." With a snap of his fingers the ropes once binding Maren in place lifted and she was free quickly she punched the dark knight as hard as she could in the floor. STRONGFELLOW grinned and let a evil laugh "and i was worried about this?! Your punches have nothing!" With cat like reflexes STRONGFLLOW punched Maren in the face the force of which sent her backwards and threw the brick way into the other room where she now layed knocked out.
When Maren awoke again she was tied back to back with the very last person she would like to se current,Chief. "Damn it why didnt that coward finish me instead of putting me with you? I'd rather die then be with someone like you!" "calm down im the one who should be upset with you, you snitched to the dark knight about me!" Surprised at what each other were shouting they stopped realizing there was no snitch STRONGFELLOW was trying to turn them agaisnt one another. As they realixed this fact the door opened and in walked STRONGFELLOW'S right hand man, the ugly troll known as Jacob. Upon entering the room Jacob seen that both Maren and Chief were awake watching him, without a single word he struck Chief as hard as he could in the face laughing knowing that Chief could do nothing to cover up. As Chief summond his courage to lift his head Jacob threw another hard fist landing it on Chief's face again this time shattering Chief's nose. As the beating went on Maren kept her eyes on the floor but slowly she felt her enegry rising and before long she was shouting, "Stop it you big moron, I SAID STOP! You only think your this strong because we are tied and cannot fight back, but if you untie me i can take you one on one!" The big stupid troll stopping the beating on Chief and scrached his head as if he were thinking. Without another work the troll walked over to Maren easily snapping the ropes binding her letting her stand, as she stood Chief looked at Maren, "I hope you know what your doing, he's stupid but very powerful." Maren gulped deeply shaking a little bit, "I-I.. hope i do too, i'm not sure if i can beat him..." Maren looked Jacob up and down trying to come up with a game plan, her mind blanked. "Well if im going to do this on the fly i guess i should go all out..." Maren slowly pulled her top off exposing her pink sports bra not breaking eye contact with Jacob. They circled around each other neither breaking eye contact, Jacob taking the first strike as he charged at Maren whom easily countered lifting her knee high catching the ugly troll in the face. Jacob grinned cracking his knuckles ready to get on with the real fight. Jacob charged at Maren again who again rose her knee, this time however Jacob was ready he grabbed Maren's leg and flung her across the room into the far wall. Ignoring the pain Maren rose to her feet quickly and grinned "Come on is that the best shot you have? All that size and you hit like a bitch." Chief grinned as he watched the battle knowing deep down that if Maren and him made it out of this castle alive this was the women he wanted to wed. The battle ragged on both Jacob and Maren getting fast strikes on the other until Maren was able to dodge a kick aimed right at her face and counter with a chi blast knocking the beast cleanly off his feet. Maren not wanting to make the same mistake she had in her first battle quickly jumped on top of Jacob and started punching him in the face as hard and fast as she could, after a few strikes however the beast easily threw Maren off and away from him. Maren watched as the beast rose to his feet panting knowing that she had broken the rule every trainer had set before her, never go all out at the start of the battle, now that she had and had nothing left she was at the beasts mercy. Jacob seemed to sense this and showed no mercy quickly striking and kicking at Maren also breaking her nose with the same ease he had to Chief earlier, after a few hard knees to the head Jacob prepared to finish Maren off with a charged chi blast when something else caught his eye. The beast quickly looked over seeing Chief rocking back and forth trying to break free of his bindings, Jacob had to stop to laugh at the struggle Chief faced knowing that he would fail. Jacob walked to Chief and smacked his across the face leaving a hand print on Chief's cheek, "Oh my lord STRONGFELLOW certainly can pick fun toys, i'm going to enjoy watching you two die slowly before my eyes." Maren gained enough strength to sit up and knew what she must do, as fast as her tired body would allow she picked herself up picking up a piece of brick wall that had broken off in her battle. Maren moved as slowly as she dared as to not alert the troll of what was about to happen, as Jacob punched Chief over and over Maren slowly edged forward with the stone in her hand, as soon as she was close enough to smell the troll's breath Maren quickly rushed at him smashing the brick over his head knocking him out. Not pausing to admire her work Maren quickly drew the elder scroll from her pocket grabbing Chief's hand as it activated, in a flash they disapeared back into Maren's reality where they both fell into a heap on the floor knocked out from the wounds from their intense battle with the ugly troll called Jacob. Although Maren was glad to be home she knew deep down they would have to return and set things right she could not let this happen, Maren had to do her job even if it killed her.
