Chapter 31: The Exterminators

One month later……

I trekked through the ruins of the Blue Moon Inn, and watched as the Dark Wizards tried to force entry into Varrock castle. The buildings that Delrith and the dark wizards destroyed included The Blue Moon Inn.

The Blue Moon Inn was destroyed by Delrith when he just rose. The invasion took Varrock by surprise, and Delrith smashed the Blue Moon Inn as his first destruction.

There was also the staff shop that Osrie1 visited once while I was in the general store. Delrith smashed that building up in a scorching rage. The shop owner managed to escape, but just barely.

Another trophy of the invasion was Gypsy Aris's tent. It was where the gypsy herself lived, but she packed up her stuff and fled when she found out she was wanted by all Dark wizards, grand order of Master Samuel. He was an evil bugger, I thought. He had infinite evil rushing through his head after he absorbed the energy matrix of Delrith.

Another building that was taken by utter surprise and nearly demolished was the sword shop that lay opposite. It had great chunks of brick, cement and rubble lying everywhere, but was still intact and open for business.

I had officially joined the Glory Troopers as a spy agent, as well as Capablanca (who had experience with the White Knights), Amy11 (who had amazing self-defence skills) and Osrie1 (who, according to Haru axe-man, seemed good at magic).

In the last month, I had murdered countless dark wizards. I had attempted, more then once, to attack the demon that was now angrily fighting Varrock guards, who had done their job in protecting the castle. I even foolishly tried beating Master Samuel, who vaporised my scythe, sending me running back to Draynor to replace it. I had grown up to combat level nine, and that made me strong enough to fight harder.

Aubury had given me and the gang a proper room of our own (Slinky, Creator and Haru had their own). We had decided to stay in Varrock for a while, until it was safe to continue on our travels. Slinky wanted to travel with us, while Creator and Haru wished to stay behind for their duties.

Aubury replaced all my runes when I ran out. I was strong enough in magic to cast fire strike now! He gave me a little money every time I successfully completed a mission. I saved up enough to buy myself an iron chainmail. After that, I split the extra money into half. One half would go in my bank (I discovered Aubury used a lot of money to buy himself his own bank booth in the base basement, saving us the pressure of walking into danger to get to a bank), while I spent the other half buying more arrows. I went up to buying iron arrows instead of bronze, and I could now use an oak long bow.

I sighed to myself, and walked on. In the distance I saw two laughing figures. One seemed very familiar.

"Hello, this is Glory Trooper temporary spy, Mainiac97," I called out, holding up my Glory Trooper ID. "Identify yourselves."

They got closer, and I saw the familiar figure of Madrey1. He leered down at me. His friend went past him, and glared at me.

This person was strong! We wore black, silky clothes, and a highwayman's mask. He held a Black Knight's black sword, and his eyes had a red glint to them. He had smooth, black hair.

"I am Phantom," he said silkily. Everything about him seemed smooth and silky. "I am the co-founder of the noob exterminators, which include me and madrey1. You have no authority over us, since we were given permission to start by our lord and Master, Master Samuel." I groaned. Master Samuel was taking over! It wasn't fair!

I got my communicator sphere, and declared code red on it. Madrey1 guffawed, and Phantom bit his lip.

With a strong, surprisingly slick upper cut, Phantom knocked me off my feet. Madrey1 went towards me, and grabbed my legs. He swung me around, the forces of gravity making it stronger. I yelled as I was spun around. Phantom chuckled lightly. With a crash that I'm sure people in Lumbridge could hear, he sent me flying to the concrete floor.

Using reflexes I got while training with the Glory Troopers, I reached for my runes and sent several fire strikes at Phantom. With a wave of his hand the fire was extinguished, and ashes scattered at his feet. I reached for my scythe, quick as the wind, and sliced Madrey1 with it. It clanked against the armour, doing nothing whatsoever to it.

We spent at least ten minutes brawling. They worked perfectly together. Phantom would use the power of darkness magic to dismiss any attacks that were sent his way. Madrey1 would then rush forward while the target was weak to attack full pelt, using his dragon armour to absorb any attacks that the opponent dealt. Phantom would then finish the weak, battered opponent off with a swift upper cut. I managed to avoid this tactic by ignoring Phantom.

The good thing about Phantom was that people under-estimated him. They would guess he was the most vulnerable because he wore his black silk outfit, compared to Madrey1's tough-nut armour. Phantom had so much evil energy he could sweep away any attack. I went straight for Madrey1, aiming for his face. For the third time, I disposed of his helmet by throwing it in the river in the distance. I pummelled his face with my scythe, and then when he tried to recover I pummelled him again. He, being the giant strong person he is, threw me into Phantom.

When Phantom tried to stop me, I dodged his finish-off upper cut with his curious sword, and ignored him. That was all I could do.

Sooner or later, backup came in the form of Creator, Haru axe-man and Amy11. I warned them not to attack Phantom. Amy11 rushed towards Madrey1, who carelessly sent her flying right into Creator. Both of them were knocked senseless by Phantom's powerful upper cut.

Haru rushed towards madrey1, who tried to dispose of him using a dragon scimitar. Haru blocked it with his giant axe.

"This one isn't a noob, he's a challenge," Madrey1 taunted. Phantom stopped to watch, amused.

"You, with your tough dragon armour, and your noob-killing group, think you're so good, but I'm going to show you otherwise," Haru snarled. Madrey1's taunting grin turned to a snarl.

They battled it our. Scimitar clashed with axe, as both fought for the victory that was sorely needed. Madrey1 elbowed Haru in the face, and Haru cut his elbow with the axe. Madrey1 aimed a misjudged kick at Haru, which was swerved off into a damaged brick wall.

They must have battled, for at least twenty minutes. Haru seemed cool and relaxed, but was starting to lose his temper. Madrey1 just let loose his anger. Haru collapsed, tired out, and Madrey1 prepared to hit the final blow.

There was a cracking sound, and Madrey1 gasped in pain. Madrey1 crumpled into a heap of dragon armour and muscles. Phantom hissed between his teeth, and scooped up madrey1's body. He was gone in a flash of a black silk cloak.

The person that crumpled Madrey1 came from the dust. His features came into deep relief, and I gasped at what I saw.
