Final Fantasy: Rise of Despair
The Black army has now lost three colonels, and several troops to our heroes in attempts to stop them from uniting with the Racemasters. With two Racemasters already threatening them and faced with the possibility of a third facing them, how will the black army react?
Oh and BTW… while SBS may work well for published stuff, this is a fanfiction website, and doing SBS is starting to feel impersonal, so if your questions merit a response, I'm going back to good old review replies.

Revelations
Mali was sitting at the very top of a tower of the palace, watching the city and the courtyards below. "Hm hm hm hm hm." Mali chuckled as she watched a human woman being struck for bumping in to a soldier. "The soldiers do keep these servants in line. I do hope that woman has learned her lesson. Lest she wants to be struck again. Hm hm hm hm hm." Mali chuckled. Mali then looked down at the gates. "Oh… it looks like Mis is back. And from the looks of it, he isn't happy." Mali said with a wicked smile.
"General Mis! Welcome back sir!" A random soldier saluted.
"Shut it!" Mis shouted before pulling out a bladed tonfa with a gun barrel attached and shot that soldier out of anger. "Now back to your drills! And not another word!" Mis yelled angrily before storming off.
"Hm hm hm hm… how pitiful." Mali sighed after giving another wicked chuckle. "Hm?" Mali noticed a black raven flying towards the tower. She held out her arm and the raven landed on it. "So Marshal Agon, how has the scouting gone?" The raven looked at her intently for a brief moment. "Understood, shall I report this to our eminence?" The raven shook its head and then flew off towards Agon's tower, more specifically the balcony. "Marshal Agon, he truly is a man of many talents." Mali said as she stood up. "Hmmm… I feel such… admiration for him." Mali said as she sunk in to a puddle of blackness.
Later…
The Black King sat on his throne, breathing heavily, contemplating his next move. His train of thoughts was interrupted at the sound of someone knocking at the throne room door. "Enter…" He moaned. The doors opened and Marshal Agon walked in, his face expressionless as always. "Am I… to take it… that your report… doesn't bring… good news…" The Black King asked.
"You are correct my master. General Mis' plans have failed. The army sent was lost, and Colonel Ical perished at the hands of Gilbert, Mendoza, and Monty." Agon said. "Furthermore, the Racemasters can indeed match, or potentially exceed our powers."
"I see…" The Black King stood up from his throne and started slowly pacing in front of it. "We expected… the Racemasters… to posses… tremendous power… but to match… the powers… bestowed upon my generals… this truly is… a disturbing discovery…"
"…" Agon simply remained silent as his master spoke, but his eyes seemed to shine with something different.
"Hm?" The Black King turned and looked at Agon. "Ha ha ha ha ha… I see it in your eyes… Marshal Agon… you desire a battle…" The Black King said.
"I shall only pursue a battle if my master wishes it." Agon said.
"Go then… you have been… out of battle… for quite some time…" The Black King said as he took his throne again. "Take whomever… is necessary…" The Black King told him.
"As you wish my master." Agon said with a deep bow. He then turned and left the throne room.
Meanwhile…
"Uuuuuuuuuuuunnnnnnggghhh…" Several bloody soldiers were laying on the ground of a training ground, with General Agres standing in the middle of the defeated bodies.
"Bah, return to the infirmary then. Then come back and we'll continue training." Agres said. As the soldiers limped in to the castle, General Mis came out and swung his tonfa and killed a few soldiers angrily. "Ah… if it isn't one of our best soldiers." Agres mocked Mis.
"Shut up bastard! GRRRAAAHHH!!!" Mis swung his tonfa at a nearby statue and obliterated it. "I swear… if I see that damned Matt again I'll kill him! I'll make him beg for mercy and then show him none! That son of a…"
"Control yourself General Mis." Agon said as he approached the two. "General Agres, find Colonel Ize."
"If I may ask, for what Marshal Agon?" Agres asked.
"Our master has orders." Agon said as he placed a hand on the hilt of his sword.
