Alright people, I hope you are all excited. Let's get straight to this exciting chapter.

Chapter 18: Rising War

Tragedy was on the rise within the Eeveelution continent. For the first time in a long time, the balance of power between the Kingdoms was under the threat of being disturbed. Carly, Thomas, Duncan and the other two Umbreon all watched the approaching army of the Espeon. There was so many that the numbers were just not ending as they rose from the hill and made their way towards the grass plain they were now in. The Espeon scouts standing in front of them smiled and the lead one spoke "Now you Umbreon will pay for your actions".

One Umbreon then looked behind "Where is our people". The Army approached at a fast speed and came to a stop just behind the Scout party. One Espeon stepped forward and said "Are we clear to attack now". The Lead Espeon nodded "Yes General Trek, these Scouts of the Umbreon are here but one escaped so the enemy will be alerted. But it doesn't explain why the scouts were here".

The Large Espeon: General Trek looked to the five Umbreon and glared "Well let's deal with these scouts and then we will move on, It don't matter if they know we are coming, by the time they can react we will be in their territory". The all nodded and some of the Espeon prepared to attack until they heard a voice over another hill behind them. "KING DALIS, QUEEN LYRA".

They looked to see a large Umbreon who was King Rawk along with a line of Umbreon beside him ranging over the hill. Suddenly two Espeon stood forward out of the army. One was normal coloured and one was blue coloured who was identified as the Alpha's of the Espeon tribe. The Umbreon walked down the hill with more and more Umbreon appearing in lines. The Espeon were looking shocked they were aware of their attack.

King Rawk and Queen Ava stood at the front of their army along with their general, same with the Espeon. King Rawk then spoke "This is an outrage, intending to attack us". King Dalis now spoke "Well we seek justice for the attack you committed on our lands. And we will have it". Queen Ava was glaring toward the King "I speak for all my people, we stick that we have not done what you accuse us of. Our Tribe has not stepped foot in your Territory ever since the war between us ended a long time ago. But if you are going to hold onto the belief that we did and you intend to attack us. You will find trouble".

The King of the Espeon was about to speak until Lyra intervened "You dare lie about the attack, you want trouble, we are happy to return it. Now we will exact justice". King Rawk of the Umbreon glared towards them "So be it, you leave no choice". King Dalis then shouted out "Fellow Espeon, now we will exact justice to these beasts. ATTACK". As soon as that was said countless Espeon begun charging from the army's formation heading straight for the Umbreon "Fellow Umbreon, Go, bring back the safety of our Future. ATTACK".

The Umbreon begun to charge as well towards the Espeon as both armies begun rapidly approaching. Both sides began firing off lots of attacks like Dark pulse, Shadow ball, hyper beam, swift and many others. Eventually the two armies met and the battle began. Many diving or crashing into each other with physical attacks. Carly who was watching was upset that Asra was now too late to have prevented it but she couldn't relax long as two Adolesont Espeon were running straight for her? Duncan stood beside her said "Let's go". Carly ran besides Duncan as both Espeon began charging up a shadow ball each.

They were both fired and while Carly jumped over it, Duncan ducked to dodge and then went forward in a tackle attack into one Espeon while the other powered up an Iron tail. Carly reacted by charging up her tail as well. The two collided against each other but the Espeon quickly leaped and slammed her down. The adolescent Espeon then powered up a shadow ball attack and leaned it towards Carly. She quickly reacted with a bite attack on the Espeon front right forelimb which made the Espeon yelp and fall over and failed to fire the Shadow ball in the right direction.

Carly then stood up and powered up another shadow ball and fired it at the Adolescent injuring the Espeon but not severely. The shiny Espeon then got tackled over by an adult Espeon who was physically stronger. But before anything could happen, Duncan came along and hit the Espeon off. Carly got back up again as Duncan said "You alright".

Carly nodded but Duncan then got set upon by an Espeon who bit into his back with a bite attack. It was not unusual for Espeon to know the bite move but they can only learn it when they are an Eevee but it doesn't stop them from doing a normal bite instead of the Bite move. Duncan made a loud groan and then swinged round and used his right forelimb and knocked the Espeon off him. He then groaned a little but quickly recovered and charged a Dark pulse at the same Espeon.

The Shiny Umbreon looked around as she could see the battle raging will multiple explosions everywhere. The battlefield was very well stretched now that the fighting was in full swing. Already there were some who were on the ground in great pain. And she could make out a couple of them as motionless bodies. She was in pieces over this battle. Wishing for it to stop but now she didn't have a choice.

Not far away and getting closer fast, Prince Asra and King Ventus along with the small army were getting close now. They were hoping they were not too late still but as it was now late afternoon they was a good chance the fighting had already started. King Ventus looked around and spoke "We are close, now we just need to hope we are heading in the right direction to where they will be now".

Asra looked with worry on as they ran on, he was tired from the running, but he wasn't letting that stop him from advancing, the future of his people and the Umbreon was at stake and that was more of enough motivation for him to keep going. "I just hope we are not too late". However as they ran further they could begin to make out faint noises in the distance. Some of them were confused "What is that noise".

Drake raised his ears "I don't know I can't make it out". As they moved further and further, the noises were slowly becoming louder and was clearer. Suddenly over a hill they could see that some explosions and now they could hear war cries and screams. Asra eyes went wide when he realised this "We are too late. The fighting has already began". King Ventus nodded to this as he could see it too "But at least we have been moving in the right direction. But it looks like we are indeed too late to prevent the battle". General Tevos of the Eeveelution kingdom then spoke "But there is still time to stop it your majesty". Ventus nodded to this as they begun to run up the big hill. Asra and King Ventus were the first to arrive at the top while everyone remained at the bottom of the hill. Drake and Tevos joined them as they had the sight come to them.

Asra was in a state of shock upon the view before him, He could see countless Espeon and Umbreon in battle, and it was spread out over a large area of the plains. Explosions were occurring in some places. He could see bodies in a couple of places from both sides. He was beginning to produce a tear while King Ventus spoke "It is even worse than I had thought it would be".

Ventus looked to Asra who was in pieces right now "Asra, I urge you to prepare, you need to stay focused, we may be too late to stop it from happening but we can still bring it to an end. We just need to find the Alpha's and convince them to stop, then we can stop this battle and the eventual war". Asra looked up at the large fighting, Umbreon and Espeon both getting hurt and in pain over the fighting.

It was hard while Ventus looked to his force and spoke up "Now, Royal guard, before we begin, I need to say a few words". All the Eeveelutions took position and paid attention "I have come to trust all of you, we are hope for the future, and today we need to prove it".

"Remember why we are here today, we are not here to fight, we are not here to kill and we are not here to wage war, We are here to stop this foolish battle. I understand some of you think this is not our problem, while that can be true, if this is not stopped then this will effect everywhere in the Eevelution continent. The Peace all the Kingdoms have established could be ripped apart by this. I know this is asking a lot. But we need your help to end this. This is a dangerous task and if any of you wish to not do what I am asking, do so now".

All of the Eeveelutions, proving their loyalty and care to their people stepped forward and stood together. Ventus smiled to this "Thank you all, of you. I am proud of all of you. Now when we run down this hill, you are to separate them and disarm them from battle, the fighting stops now, don't kill, just make sure you minimise the amount of fighting. While we don't have the numbers we can stop them"

They all bowed to this and Ventus looked to Asra "Now while my Royal guard occupy the two forces, we will make our way through and find the Alpha's then we might be able to stop this. Drake". Drake looked to him and listened "I want you to protect Asra, make sure he makes it through with me". Drake bowed his head "Yes your majesty". Ventus then nodded to Tevos who looked to them "ALRIGHT EVERYONE, MOVE OUT. FOR THE CONTINENT".

All of the Eeveelutions bowed before they all begun rushing up the hill to proceed down. Ventus and Asra nodded to each other as they followed suit and begun running down the hill towards the battlefield. A lot of the Espeon and Umbreon had noticed the Eeveelution force bearing on them from the big hill. While not as large as they are, the diversity of their type and moves would make up for it. Many of them were shocked that a third faction was entering but noticed they weren't viciously attacking as they charged un but were merely trying to disarm and push back both.

This did not stop them however as the two main factions continued to battle. The Eeveelution force rushed in and begun following the plan. However King Ventus was going to be protected by his royal guard as he moved with Asra who had Drake sticking close. Carly who was in the battle hadn't noticed the new turn of events as she and Duncan were still in the middle of the battle.

They were now locked in combat with three adolescent Espeon while only one were attacking Duncan. Carly had been set upon by two. One was biting her left ear while the other was trying to pin down Carly so he could attack with an Iron tail. Carly couldn't move too well due to the biting Espeon but she charged a shadow ball and fired it into the Espeon biting her ear. She then powered up an Iron tail and attempted to swing it at the Espeon behind her but he dodged and then lunged a bite attack at her left forelimb.

Carly made a yelp in pain when the Espeon bite down into her leg. She could feel pain from that one as she fell down. She did however manage to use her free forelimb and hit it against the Espeon's face and force him back. However she could see a trickle of blood emerge from her forelimb. She could feel it and struggled up but saw the wound from the attack as it did hurt her still.

The adolescent Espeon's both glared towards the Shiny Umbreon and were preparing to attack again. Suddenly a quick attack from Duncan sends one of them down. Duncan prepares to attack the other but suddenly he gets hit away by another Espeon who was an adult and physically stronger. Duncan got thrown over and was immediately set by another Espeon which forced him away from the location. Carly was worried "Duncan".

With the fighting becoming much worse, Carly began to worry that it was becoming impossible to stop. The Adult Espeon glared at Carly who was forced to ready herself. Carly attempted a quick attack at the Espeon but she saw he quickly powered up an Iron tail and slashed across her. She yelped and fell down as the Espeon made a smile that he was winning. Carly struggled to get up as she was hurt but she saw the Espeon begun to open his mouth and an Orb of orange energy begun to form.

Carly saw this and was frightened knowing it was a Hyper beam and it her state it would be most likely to kill her. She saw the Beam fire towards her from the Powerful Espeon. It came towards her but as there was a bit of distance it wasn't reaching her straight away. Suddenly she heard a voice Scream "NO". She heard the voice but she focused and closed her eyes as she waited for the imminent pain to be inflicted. She suddenly heard an Explosion directly in front of her and a small breeze of wind went by her.

She did not feel any sense of pain other then what was already inflicted upon her. She opened her eyes to see the Hyper beam gone but she saw the Adult Espeon was in a state of shock with eyes wide open. She was slightly confused at first but she looked to her left and she saw a body covered in damage on the ground in front of her. The physical features while was similar to other Espeon could still be made out.

She saw the motionless body of the Espeon laid to her left. She took on a look of horror upon the sight of this as while it looked similar to other Espeon, she could easily tell who it was, that was now lying on the ground in absolute pain "Asra".
