Fighting was nothing new to Zap and Blaze. They pretty much had to fight with their powers since it was necessary to survive the missions that they had as the Minion Special Forces. The Empire were obviously trying their best to overrun the Silent Order's newly-rebuilt temple and aside from the order's knights, who were far too few in number, only the temple's strategic location prevented the Empire from marching in and 'cleansing' the magical creatures that sought refuge in the sturdy walls of the temple. It also helped that the Silent Order's priests were personally blessed with some of the magical prowess of the Third Overlord such as the Shock Shield and Confusion spells. Then again, Heartless were also appearing throughout the area and often ended up fighting with the soldiers.
On the way to the Silent Order's temple, Blaze destroyed a fire barrier that blocked off the pathway to the Rich Quarter of the city after killing all of the Empire troops near the city entrance and blocking off the Understreets with an explosive fireball that collapsed the way in from the city itself, seeing as how the drawbridge was up to prevent the Glorious Empire from getting in through the front door. More Empire troops were inside the Rich Quarter since they had taken advantage of a large hole in the city walls, but two Sentinels were also accompanying them. They attempted to call in Eradicators when they realized that Blaze and Zap were Minions and thus magical creatures, but Blaze set one of them on fire while Zap said at the other one, "Bufudyne" and caused a block of ice to form around the Sentinel and then crack, killing it.
The spell ate a chunk of Zap's magic, but it quickly regenerated as Blaze saw what appeared to be a blue-haired girl being attacked by several Imperial soldiers and threw an explosive fireball at them. The soldiers set up a shield wall, but it was not enough for them to survive as the fireball exploded and killed many of them while survivors were set on fire by the blast even though they were hardened troops with square shields. Mysteriously, the girl was unharmed, even though the soldiers were clearly trying to capture her. A centurion then appeared from an alleyway and quite suddenly two city guards in light armor surprised him. One of them said to the centurion, "Stop! You violated the law. Pay the court a fine or serve your sentence. Your stolen goods are now forfeit." as said centurion was disarmed while the other guard grabbed the centurion's hands and tied them in front of him.
"You idiots! I am soldier of the Glorious Empire! The Empire that rules your city!" the centurion barked at the guards.
"Even if you serve the Empire, you are not above the law. You and your men had stolen 3000 gold from the city's treasury and your fine is 10500 gold when factoring in the other crimes that you have committed against the citizens of this city." the guard that disarmed him replied.
"You guys can't do this! I don't have that sort of money!"
"Then you must serve your sentence." the other guard said as they took the centurion away.
Surprised to see the guards handle the centurion, Blaze's jaw comically dropped to the ground as Zap said to the girl, "This place is not safe. Silent Order is resisting the Glorious Empire. We will find refuge in the Order's temple. Order priests will protect us."
"Thanks for the help. What are you small creatures anyway? I'm a succubus. The name's Kurumu Korono." the blue-haired girl said.
"Minions. I am Zap and that over there is Blaze." the blue minion said to the busty succubus as Blaze picked her jaw up.
Zap saw several Empire soldiers in formation pour in from the large hole and immediately took Kurumu's hand and followed Blaze to the entrance of the Silent Order's temple. The doors were closed and a priest that wasn't gagged peeked through to see the succubus and the two minions since they had shaken off the Empire's troops.
"Password?" he asked. Blaze immediately replied, "Overlord's might."
"Alright. Come in." the priest said as he opened one of the doors and let the minions and Kurumu in before closing it.
At the Arcana gate inside the temple, Kurumu asked Zap, "So what's this about an Overlord?"
"Blaze and I are part of the Minion Special Forces. Unfortunately, we've had no contact with our master ever since the fall of the tower."
"Aye. I used to serve him as a warrior. Got my ass stationed here in Heaven's Peak before the tower was attacked. Damn Thalmor broke the barriers protecting it from the Heartless." a female Orc said as she came by. Looking at Kurumu, she said to the succubus, "Nice chest rack, m'am. The name's Kthegra and I'm obviously an Orc. Who are you?"
Kurumu then introduced herself to Kthegra. After a few minutes of talking between the four, the ungagged priest from earlier came by along with Kurumu's mother and said, "The Empire's launching another attack! They're over hundred strong this time."
Zap activated the gate and immediately warping in was a black-haired girl wearing a black hooded cloak. Meanwhile, Silas Silvanus said in delight, "Yes, excellent, you minions. With my help, you shall meet your new master and he shall be reunited with all of his siblings. Ah, Silver, it's always good when a plan comes together."
A/N: Here's someone new and original.
Kthegra: a Female Orc that is also the Dragonborn. She is from The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. She hates the Thalmor and has access to many of her shouts.
Note that the Thalmor are actually helping the Heartless.
