Dark Sorcerer and the Blade of Light
Chapter 9
The Sorcerer's March to the Sea
"HYAH!" Raguna said as he rode down on Lupux at maximum speed,
"Shoot, we're only getting closer to the Sechs border." Camus growled, "Why does this Gulf have to piece so deep into Norad!?"
"At least we can get there faster!" Mist told him, trying to hold on for dear life,
"STOP!" a voice thundered, and surely enough, Terrable appeared,
"Wah!" the group stopped, their animals became frightened.
"What in the gods!?" Mei yelled,
"The Dark Sorcerer and his armies have broken through!" Terrable warned, "They are going to pillage all the Port Towns unless you route them!"
"What?" Brodik said, "To where!?"
"Back into the Sechs Empire!" Terrable added, "They have enough firepower to counter the dark force! Just do not let them go East!"
"Why not?" Sharron asked,
"Because the way to the ancient land of the State of the Polonic order lies over there!" Terrable told them, "Beyond Gilga Pass, into the Jungle of Caracas!"
"There's nothing in that jungle!" Iris told him, "Every adventurer that goes in there perishes!"
"That's how we made it." Terrable growled, "For the safety of the planet! But the Sorcerer has the magic to counter this shield!"
"Then we have to route him." Raguna said, "Or else we will lose everything!"
"They are just south of you, Raguna." Terrable told him, "Don't forget about your powers as the Hero of the Runes." he said and ascended back into the heavens.
00000000
"Look at that..." the cloaked figure said as he looked off into the distance, "The Coast..."
"That's the Gulf of Narite." the submissive figure muttered, "All of Norad's port towns are located in its coast."
"Let's advance, then..." the cloaked figure chuckled, but then got a serious headache, "AH!" he yelled,
"Master!" the submissive figure cried,
"He's here!" the cloaked figure yelled, "The Hero of the Runes is among us! Everyone! Into battle formations!" he told his vast army.
00000000
"There they are..." Cinnamon said as they saw the large force move through the plains, "We have to stop them..."
"Let's go then!" Raguna muttered, but then paused when he saw the monster army was already under attack.
"The Sechs Army!" Camus said in surprise as the soldier and tanks ran down the hills, surprising the dark monsters, sending them into chaos.
00000000
"No!" the cloaked figure yelled as he saw his force fall into disarray, "Everyone! Fight to the end!"
00000000
"A change of plans!" Ventuswill appeared in the group, "We'll hold them off!" she said, and the other three Divine Dragons appeared,
"We'll route them away to give you time to board the ship." Aquaticus said,
"Just a blessing from your friendly neighborhood Earth God." Terrable chuckled, then extended his wings,
"We have also called out the Noradians to aid us." Fiersome roared, "We hope to end this right here!"
"Alright!" Raguna nodded, "Guys! We have to move it!"
"Yes!" Iris responded, and the group galloped towards the coast.
00000000
"RAH!" Fiersome released a terrific blast of fire which made a brilliant explosion on the dark monster army,
"Men! Charge!" a Sechs tank commander said as the human forces made their way to fight the beasts,
"Not today!" the cloaked figure roared and used magic to fly into the sky, "AHHH!" he yelled and made a surge of dark lightning bolts to appear,
"WAH!" the Sechs soldiers were struck by the bolts,
"There he is!" Terrable yelled and swooped down to tackle the figure,
"Ah!" the figure turned, "Ah! It's you!" he chuckled, "Remember me!?" he took off his cloak, revealing himself to be the Dark Sorcerer.
"RAH!" Terrable blasted a meteor from his mouth,
"HRAH!" the Dark Sorcerer broke it apart with a dark bolt,
"KYAH!" a dark wooly took down a Sechs knight from his steed,
"KRAKA!" an orc finished off a Sechs pikeman,
"Take this!" a Noradian knight stabbed an elefun with his lance,
"GROO!" a dark troll plowed through a line of soldiers.
00000000
"Look!" Raguna said as they caught sight of a town, "Alvarna!"
"Alright!" Mist exclaimed, "We're home free!"
"And by 4:30, too!" Camus chuckled as he looked at his watch, "We're almost at it!"
00000000
"No! No! No!" the Dark Sorcerer pouted as he saw his army being defeated at the hands of the humans and the Divine Dragons, "This is not fair!" he yelled, then looked to the distance, where he saw Alvarna.
"No more playing by the rules!" he yelled and launched a hideous black bolt into the coast ahead of the town, "Let's go! This is not our battle!" he told his force, which started to disappear into the shadows.
"NO!" Fiersome roared as he saw the escape attempt, "RAHHHHHHHHHHH!" he charged a great attack in his mouth,
"Fiersome, don't!" Aquaticus cried, but too late.
The Red fire ball was released, and with the force of an atom bomb, exploded.
00000000
"What in the world!?" Brodik said as the ground in Alvarna shook,
"What happened?" Sharron said, and then saw the flaming mushroom cloud in the distance,
"The boat!" Mei called out, "It's leaving!"
"Argh!" Raguna growled, wanting to go to the battle, "Let's go!" he ran to the harbor,
KROOOOBLOOOOO! The water in the neighboring coast started to toil and churn,
"BRAH!" a huge Dark Big Squid appeared,
"Ah!" the villagers cried as they saw the terrible beast,
"BLOOO!" the Big Squid bellowed and used its tentacle to grab the ship,
KRAK! The kaiju destroyed the vessel on a nearby cliff,
"RAH!" Aquaticus came out of nowhere and dive bombed the monstrous entity, taking him down into the sea.
"What is going on today?!" Brodik growled,
"We have failed." Terrable appeared, flying over them, "The armies have escaped through the shadows..."
"And if it wasn't for the moronic idiot over here... We still would have had an army to counter them!" Ventuswill roared at Fiersome, who had destroyed the army of the Sechs and Noradians.
"Hey!" Fiersome exploded, "I tried to kill those cowards!"
"We don't know where they went!" Terrable growled, then they all turned to the sea.
"AHHH!" Aquaticus screeched and sent a huge jet of water into the sea, and after a few more bubbles and shakes, the sea became calmed.
"But the boat is gone." Raguna groaned, "As well as all the others..." he saw the destruction of the port,
"Us gods always have a backup." Ventuswill said, then whistled with her wings, blowing air to make a howling noise.
"Someone's very happy to have been rescued from the darkness." Terrable muttered, and surely enough, Grimoire flew in, scaring a few villagers in the process.
"It doesn't look like that many people can go on him." Mei commented,
"Only Raguna can go." Fiersome growled, "He is the worthy one..."
"All of you can stay and help us save the town." Terrable added, "We know the Sorcerer will be back to destroy this place at night, where his army can returned from their shadowy realm."
"Since we lost an army." Venti glared at Fiersome, "We need your help while Raguna finds the Oracle Sword."
"Alright." Iris agreed, "We'll help."
"Hold up." Raguna said, "I know this sword of Oracles has got something to do with Sharron." he turned to the woman, "Is there by any chance a connection between the sword and the race?"
"What do you mean?" Terrable asked,
"Sharron is an orcale." Mist answered,
"Ah, really!?" Ventuswill smiled, "Even better! Hopefully she can help you find it!"
"Awesome!" Raguna said, "I wish to take her and Mist with me on Grimoire."
"Sounds like a plan." Fiersome growled, "But why the blonde one?"
"We seem to be linked." Raguna answered, and showed both of their glowing palms,
"Yes." Mist muttered, "Everytime we embrace, we see dead people and visions."
"Ah..." Ventuswill said, "Even better! Well, no time to lose! The sun is against you all!"
"Come on, Mist!" Raguna said as he hopped on Grimoire, "Sharron, you too!"
"We'll stay here to defend the town!" Camus said,
"You can count on us!" Iris added as the three flew off into the sky.
