Chapter 6

Battle and the Two Mystical Blades

Rayne growled as Ichigo laughed and her army got into their places. "Alright! Listen up, ok everyone attack the enemies that you're strong against. That means archers will attack the Pegasus knights while mages will attack armored knights and such. That's all I can say since we're…….outnumbered by a lot. NOW GET READY!" Kathryn screamed as she headed toward Eric and the other magic users and got her spell tome ready.

Lyn and Florina headed up by Rayne, soon followed by the rest of the lords, Kent, Sain, Fiora and Farina. Ichigo looked toward the small army and laughed again. "Remember not to kill the blonde idiot up front and the green haired girl next to her." Ichigo stated.

Rayne looked at Ichigo with fire in her eyes. "Stop laughing!" she screamed as she ran forward toward the strange woman. The rest of the army followed her example and ran into battle, as did Ichigo's army.

Rayne ran straight toward Ichigo only to be pulled back by a pirate. She turned around to kick him only to find out she was surrounded. Rayne looked around preparing to fight when 3 of the 9 pirates around her were killed. "What the hell are pirates doing here?" the voice asked as it struck down 2 more pirates.

Rayne looked at Lyn and gave her a 'does it look like I know' look before she killed the rest of the pirates around her. She waved thanks to her friend before they both charged a group of bandits headed their way.

Serra on the other hand was now dealing with 3 armored knights. She had just finished one off when another came to attack her with his lance. Luckily she ducked out of the way before hitting him with some Shine magic. When she turned to kill the last one she noticed that Erk had beaten her to it and burned him alive with an Elfire. She jumped onto his arm and squealed a thank you.

"What are…?" he tried to ask only to see Serra kill a bandit that was behind him. "That's your thanks Erky." She said before she winked at him and ran to attack another armored knight. Erk only looked after her for a moment before shaking his head and returning to battle.

Eliwood, along with Matthew, Hector, Fiora and Kent, had killed a large number of mercenaries near where Ichigo was standing. They continued to fight until Fiora noticed Florina was being overwhelmed. She was just about to kill one of the archers attacking her sister only to see him being cut in half by Hector's ax. She smiled then continued to battle next to Kent.

Lady Louise and the other archers were doing better than the rest. They had killed well over 200 bandits and were now hiding behind the hill while the enemy fired at them, hoping to hit them. Lady Louise looked up and saw a hand ax about to hit her when a lighting bolt hit it out of the way. She smiled when she realized that Pent was watching her back like always.

She found new strength then turned around and started to return fire on the enemy forces.

"This is getting boring and it seems those idiots haven't found the swords yet." Ichigo said to herself as she watched the battle rage on. The princesses friends seemed to be working faster than Ichigo had originally planned. "No matter; I'll send 2 of my wyvern knights to knock them out. Then I'll be greatly rewarded when the master sees me with both princesses AND those two swords." Ichigo laughed as she sent two wyvern knights to go and attack Lyndis and Rayne.

Florina noticed what Ichigo planned to do and flew over to her two friends. "Does either of you have a blade that's good against Wyverns?" she asked quickly, seeing the wyvern knights take to the sky and come their way. Both girls shook their heads no. Lyn then grabbed her bow off her back and turned toward Rayne and Florina. "Cover me." Was all she said before she started firing at the airborne wyverns.

Both girls nodded their heads, Florina taking out the mercenaries nearby while Rayne covered the ax users. Lyn continued to let her arrows fly. One of the wyvern knights has fallen to his death and the other was wounded. Lyn was just about to land her final shot when the wyvern knight threw a Javelin at her. Since she was already in her 'release' position so she couldn't move.

Lyn slowly fell back as the Javelin knocked her over; making her hit her head on a rock and loose consciousness for a minute. At the same time a solider ran toward Ichigo and whispered something in her ear. "Good work….now keep these people busy!" she ordered as she ran down the hill and away from the battle.

Rayne's eyes widened when she realized where she was headed. 'They found them!?' she thought as she then saw Lyn get struck down. "Lyn!" she cried as she ran over to her friend. 'Dammit! My friend's out cold and that bitch thinks she can have my swords.' She thought. She then saw Eliwood nearby. "ELIWOOD!" she yelled, waving him over. As he galloped over on his horse he noticed Lyn on the ground bleeding a little.

"I need you to take care of her. Give her a vulanary then send her either some place safe or keep her by you. Me and Florina are going after Ichigo. Be careful!" she cried as she got onto Huey's back and both her and Florina flew off after Ichigo. "Wait!" he called but they were already gone. "Lyn…be alright." He whispered as he applied a vulanary onto her head wound.

With the magic users

Erk and Serra had unconsciously moved far away from the other magic users. Serra had just taken care of a newly leveled armored knight when she saw Erk was about to be attacked by an archer. She didn't have enough time to cast a spell to counter the arrow and he would never move out of the way in time.

Serra closed her eyes and did the only thing she could think of. She quickly ran towards Erk and pushed him out of the way of the arrow. It hit her shoulder and she yelled in pain. Serra quickly threw out a Shine spell before the archer could move and killed him. She quickly pulled out the arrow, seeing it's purple tip. 'Oh no…it was poisoned!' she thought as her vision suddenly got blurry.

Erk had just finished killing a pirate when he felt himself being pushed sideways. He got up, ready to yell at the person who was obviously Serra, only to see her take an arrow to the shoulder and kill the archer that was behind him. He noticed the purple color on the arrow after Serra pulled it out and rushed to her side.

"Serra! Are you alright? Why did you do that you stupid girl? I could have taken care of it!" He yelled while looking for a toxin in his cape. Serra turned to look at him with hazy eyes. That meant it was a strong poison. "I did it because I care about you…..you…….you…id..idiot." She spit out before she passed out. Erk, panicking, picked her up bridal style and started to run toward Merlinus's tent where Priscilla was staying.

With Rayne and Florina

Rayne and Florina continued to follow Ichigo. It seemed like there plan was working. Lyn would 'fall to an enemy' and be watched over someone, in this case Eliwood, while Rayne and Florina followed Ichigo. Then after a few minutes Lyn would sneak away and follow Rayne and Florina's path before the three girls ambushed Ichigo altogether. "It seems our plan is working Florina." Rayne said as she tightly held onto her friend. Florina nodded before her eyes widened and she ducked down, bringing Rayne with her.

An arrow flew over there heads and Rayne could feel Florina shiver. 'Of course! Pegasus Knights hate bows. There very weak against them and that's why the archers are Pegasus Knights worst enemies!' Rayne thought as her eyes looked around for the archer. After two more dodges she found him hiding in a tree a few feet in front of them. She quickly took out one of her sais and held it tight. Florina, seeing what she was doing, quickly pulled out her javelin. Rayne and Florina both nodded before Rayne threw her sai. It hit the archer right in his chest. While he was weakened Florina quickly threw her javelin. It was a direct hit.

Rayne yelled and hugged Florina. "You did it Florina! You did it!" Florina herself was blushing and smiling. "I did do it." She whispered before they once again flew after Ichigo.

With Lyn

Lyn was running through the woods at full speed, following a trail of dropped yellow colored pebbles which the girls had gotten from Merlinus. She focused on the trail ahead of her, trying to forget the small fight she had just had with Eliwood.

Flashback

It had been a few minutes after Rayne and Florina had left when Lyn opened her eyes. Eliwood looked down at her and smiled.

"Lyn you're alright! I was so worried." He said, blushing at the last part.

Lyn shook her head and smiled at him. "Yes I'm alright. It was all apart of the plan."

Eliwood looked confused. "Plan? Did you just fake all of this?" he asked, his voice sounding angrier.

Lyn looked back, a shocked look on her face. "I'm afraid I did Eliwood but I had too. And it wasn't all fake. I did faint for a minute or so."

"But that's not the point! Do you realize how worried I was?" Eliwood yelled at her.

Lyn's eyes widened. She had only heard Eliwood yell a few times but he had never sounded like this. "I'm sorry I had to fool you Eliwood but it was necessary!" She realized she was now yelling too.

Eliwood glared at her and she glared back at him.

"Fine! Then I won't be talking to you again!" he yelled before he got on his horse.

Lyn huffed and yelled back, "FINE!" Then she started running into the forest, looking for the yellow stones from earlier.

End Flashback

Lyn huffed again and continued running after the trail. 'We had to do it. It was the only thing we could come up with at such a short time.' She thought as she saw Huey up ahead with Rayne and Florina riding him.

With Erk and Serra

Erk had arrived at Merlinus's tent and had asked Priscilla to heal Serra. She looked a little bit angry but gave him a big smile and said she would. After hearing that Erk collapsed in the nearest seat and tried to regain his breath.

Priscilla came out moments later and said Serra would be fine. Erk smiled. Priscilla continued to talk and praise Erk. When she turned around to see his reaction, she was somewhat hurt but smiled gently. Erk laid in the tiny chair, curled up in a ball, asleep. Priscilla covered him up before quietly walking off.

With the rest of the army

The remaining troops of Eliwood's Elite had managed to come together and had started to battle the little groups of Ichigo's remaining army. Each person took to battling a enemy that they were strong against.

Eliwood, who was still slightly mad at Lyn, was taking out Ichigo's troops by the tens. The others silently agreed to stay away from him for now and let him let all his anger out.

Hector, along with Farina and Fiora, were worried about Florina. The young lavender haired beauty was somewhere with Rayne and Lyn chasing Ichigo. 'They could be ambushed right now as we speak.' Hector thought as he angrily cut a pirate in half. He turned to see Matthew looking at him like he had two heads and smiled sheepishly. 'Great no Matthew thinks I'm a blood thirsty lord……oh god.'

With Ichigo

Ichigo had left the two girls following her behind moments ago. She smiled when she reached a rather large cave with three of her best henchmen standing outside of it. She stopped and asked, "Where are the swords?" The three men bowed before one pulled out two sheaths. Ichigo ran her eyes over them and smiled as she saw the ancient unreadable symbols cover the sheaths in a beautiful arrangement. She was about to take them when a javelin sailed over her head and impaled one of her men.

Ichigo turned around only to see the blond dragon princess, the green haired human princess, and a lavender haired pegasus knight flying toward them. 'Damn I thought I got rid of them…' she thought before she shouted out, "GET THEM!"

The two men nodded and charged forward while the last one pulled the javelin out of his shoulder and followed his friends lead.

The two groups clashed quickly, Lyn taking the first goon, a myrmidon, while Florina took out the mage she had hit before and attacked the assassin headed her way. Rayne quickly jumped of Huey and over the assassin before charging toward Ichigo, who had drawn two daggers and got into a fighting stance.

Lyn dodged the blade of the myrmidon as she swiped at his legs. He fell to the ground and she went to stab him only to have her legs cut at. She rolled out of the way of another of her opponents attacks and slowly got up. She jumped up and backward out of the way of an upward slash and pulled out her leg. She kicked the myrmidon's face before she landed and charged at him again, this time sending her fist into his gut.

Lyn smirked before she back flipped again and got into a waiting position. The man slowly got up and faced her with a smile. They both charged again, the man going for a downward strike while Lyn brought her sword up for a block and counter. It worked. Lyn's sword met the man's and held back his attack. What the myrmidon didn't expect was when Lyn over powered him and sliced at his neck. The man fell down to the ground dead.

Florina was having a difficult time. Sure she had become stronger after the whole Nergal problem but she had never really fought an enemy well…alone before. Sure she battled one alone literally but her sisters' or friends were always nearby in case she needed help. Florina was a bit sad when she realized that she would be fighting alone but she was also very happy that her best friend Lyn and her new friend Rayne thought she could handle someone on her own, without their protection.

Florina squeaked as she dodged an attack from assassin's dagger. She shrieked when he came close to her again. She closed her eyes and pushed out her javelin as she felt Huey dive for the man. She slowly opened her eyes when she felt the man give out a painful sounding groan. When Florina opened her eyes she saw she had hit the man right in the head. She quickly pulled back her javelin and looked away from the dead man with the hole in his head.

She then squeaked again when she felt Lyn wrap her arms around her and congratulate her. She gave a small, shy smile before they both went to witness the fight between Ichigo and Rayne.

OK I'm gonna stop here. Like I said it's a lil shorter than my other chapters but I got this idea. You'll see when next chapter comes along.
