"CLOSE THE GATES!" One of the fortress guards hollered. Soldiers ran left and right, taking defensive formations along the castle walls.
"General Arkson! Sir, we got two enemies approaching the north gate!" Said a commander at the watch tower.
Arkson rushed to the tower and looked to see Ruby and Blade running towards them with long smirks running across their faces.
"Marksmen! Mark and fire at the incoming targets!" Arkson yelled.
The soldiers in the north watchtower sniped away at the two of them, persistently firing until the clips were out.
Ruby grabbed Blade and pulled out her new weapon. Silverfang was its name. A long, sleek, and solve scythe that would end the life of anything in its path. She quickly switched the gears of Silverfang to where the blade turned to a 180 degree angle. Ruby bolted like lightning into the gate, destroying it instantly.
Arkson stood there, eyes filled with awe and excitement.
"Charge men! Fight to end, or watch your head be chopped off and sent to Weiss at the end of today!"
Soldiers screamed as they charged forward blindly. Ruby gave a cocky smile and threw Blade up in the air.
"Your all fucked now you bastards!" Ruby yelled as Blade pulled out her greatsword. A huge, blue blade with a powerful enchantment. Ruby dodged as Blade drove it into the ground, emitting a huge explosion as soldiers corpses and limbs flew all around her.
Arkson clapped and slowly walked down into the main plaza. Smiling with eyes full of burning enjoyment.
"Oh my, what a brilliant display of power. Your sword was so powerful that it seems you have killed nearly all my men. I'm afraid though that this is THE END!"
Arkson dashed forward and sent Blade flying toward the fortress wall.
"Blade!" Ruby yelled in despair. Ruby ran of her lover and saw her unconscious.
"You bastard... Your dead now!"
Ruby threw the Silverfang like a frisbee, smacking Arkson in the abdomen in its path. He kneeled out of breath as he saw her about to throw a hard slice.
"I won't die this way!" He thought a he punched Ruby out of the way. She landed on her feet and charged, switching the gear.
The Silverfang drove quickly toward Arkson, as he pulled out an iron whip. The scythe changed its course as he flung it out of his way. Ruby looked at him in rage.
"Your defenseless now! I make sure you die slowly!" Arkson barked.
He flung the whip around like a madman, Ruby using all her energy trying to dodge. He struck her hard in the face as she have a big scream.
Ruby looked at herself in the puddle she stood in to see a huge scar across her left eye. She looked up to see Arkson deliver the final blow.
"Goodnight sweet prin-CUSGHhaa!"
Arkson looked down to see the familiar blue blade appearing out of his chest. His Green armor leaking and spewing blood on the floor. He fell to the ground without a sound as Blade stood behind him panting.
"See you in hell you crazy bastard..." She said.
Blade sprinted over to Ruby and helped her stand up.
"Here's your scythe, hope you don't loose it again." She said with a chuckle. Ruby smiled as she put it back in its harness and the to looked at the doors standing before them.
"Looks like this is it Blade, Weiss is just behind those doors. I want to see her face as I cut her head off with Silverfang." Ruby said calmly.
As they opened the doors to the main hall, they sighed as another figure appeared in front of them.
"I'm surprised you managed to kill Arkson. He wasn't cheap you know, huntsmen out here are hard to find in these dark times." The man said.
"Who are you, and where's Weiss?!" Ruby snapped.
"She's here just like you planned, but I cannot let you harm her. Think of me as a wall in your path, no matter how hard you try, you can't break me." He retorted.
Ruby angrily frowned, "I've broken walls before!"
"Then let's see how you tear me down, the unstoppable Blood!"
