NO WORRIES, MY LITTLE SERVANTS! I HAVE NOW FIXED EVERYTHING.
Levels that I used for this boss battle:
Alice- 12
The others are all level 10.
First thing the others did was try and pull Alice out from underneath the Knight's horse's hoof. It was, however, to no avail.
"Alice?!" Marine freaked out, trying to shake Alice back to life. After wasting ten minutes, they realized that it was probably no use, and stepped back, glaring at her killer.
"YOU JUST KILLED A LITTLE GIRL, YOU MEANIE!" Sheila shrieked, not being very good with insults.
"Sheila, calm down. Let's just bash this unjust individual into submission, as revenge for Miss Alice." Iris's eyes narrowed into slits, glaring at the Wight Knight, who hadn't moved since he landed on the poor girl.
"I agree, let's fucking murder the shit out of him." Marine grunted, pulling out her iron lance to fight. The Wight Knight also pulled out a lance, but he was unable to advance forward.
...Suddenly, they could hear a metallic... crunch? The horse screamed in pain, trying to move away one of its hooves...
Of course, this hoof was the one that was trapping Alice to the ground. The metal gear encasing the horse's hoof had been crushed to cut into the horse's flesh. Slowly, but surely, the horse was forced to stand on its two hind legs... until Alice flipped the horse over her shoulder, sending the Knight crashing to the ground. Alice stood there, with her eyes shut, face pulled down into a furious frown; her body was radiating a weird blackish aura.
"You just RUINED my flower... and my dress!" She slipped her sword out of its hilt, and slashed at the Knight's face.
The other three were... stunned, to say the least. They didn't do anything but watch... or at least, until the Knight tried to stab Iris. Then, Sheila cast a buff spell on herself, since she's the 'healer'. Marine and Iris charged in (but they made sure not to get in the way of Alice's crazy swinging of her sword). Alice just kept furiously swinging her sword around, not seeming to care what it collided with. Luckily, the others were smart enough to stay clear of her.
The Wight Knight tried stabbing the three normal girls multiple times, and managed to land two hits on Iris.
"Iris! Are you okay?!" Sheila was fidgeting, hesitating as to what to do next. Should she try to increase Alice's defence, since Alice doesn't really seem to be thinking of anything, or should she help Iris?
"Y-yeah, I'm fine." Sheila didn't buy that for a second, and casted buff on Iris instead. It didn't even matter, anyway, since Alice wasn't getting hit at all- oh...
The Wight Knight's lance started crackling with electrical energy, and he stabbed Alice right in the gut... but she managed to stop him with her hands (although her hands were now a little bit burnt). Right after that, Marine landed the final blow, trying to break through his armor with her lance, but not fully succeeding. Even then, she still managed to defeat the local terror, which is pretty impressive.
Alice noticed something fall from a pouch on the horse... a pair of iron gauntlets.
He's not going to need those in jail. She snagged them, putting them on her own hands, gripping them just to feel up the metal fabric. It was nice and cold, just like her favorite hiding spot...
The Knight fell to his knees, staring at the ground in front of Alice (who hid her hands behind her back to act like she didn't just semi-rob him). "I don't understand... Why would the Princess send somebody, especially YOU, in her place? Has my beloved Mona forsaken me? Did our promise of forever mean nothing to her?"
Stella snorted, reappearing from Alice's body. "You got any idea what he's on about, Alice? Who's this 'Mona'? The princess of Stornway is called Simona, right? Not Mona. This knight's got a nail loose, if you ask me."
The Wight Knight started, staring straight at Stella, "Is... Is that really true?"
Stella freaked out, "Yikes! How can you see me?! You gave me such a flappin' shock!" She returned back to Alice's body.
The Wight Knight now turned back to Alice, who was rubbing her eyes in a tired fashion. "You, tell me the truth. Is the girl in the castle really not called Princess Mona?"
Alice nodded with a yawn. The Knight drooped his head in despair, "Oh, woe is me! So she wasn't my princess after all... Actually, now that I think about it, she wasn't wearing the royal necklace of Brigadoom..."
"...Of what?" Sheila whispers to Iris, who shrugs.
"I don't know."
The Knight gets up, and turns to face the river separating Stornway from Coffinwell. "Yes... I was in a very deep sleep... But then the earthquake happened, and I awoke in this strange land, feeling as if I had been given freedom from some type of... prison. I completely lost my memory, badly enough to the point that I didn't even know who I was at all... but then I saw the princess, and it brought everything back to me... Memories of Mona and I."
He turns to Alice, and bows. "I remembered that I am the Wight Knight, and that Mona is the princess of my homeland of Brigadoom. She and I had sworn undying love for each other, and were to be wed..."
Stella reappeared just to snicker at him, "So you then went and confused Princess Simona for Princess Mona? Ha! They'd better be the splitting image of each other..."
Ignoring Stella, the Wight Knight was deep in thought, "Hmmm... I must do the honorable thing. I must return to the castle of Stornway and apologize for my mistake post-haste!"
"That's probably not the best course of action, Knight. The King's pretty pissed that you tried to kidnap his daughter and all... that could make things worse." Marine appeared next to Alice, leaning on her head.
"Ahh... you think that it'd make things worse?... Yes, I fear that you are most undoubtedly correct. Well, then maybe you four will take a message on my behalf? Just tell them that I won't go near that place ever again, so long as I shall live. I'm certain that the real Princess Mona is waiting for me back in Brigadoom. All I have to do now, is find my way home. Good day, thanks for helping me out." The Knight bows, and rides his steed off into the night.
"...I'm tired. Marine~ Can you carry meee~?" Alice didn't wait for an answer, instead just climbing onto Marine, and clamping her arms around her neck until she was certain that she wouldn't fall off, and then promptly fell asleep.
Marine looks down at her personal baggage, ...Well, that was unexpected. Little girls these days are seriously made of tough stuff... but... I'm glad she didn't die, even if that whole thing was rather... questionable.
She sighs, and turns to tell the others that they're going back to Erinn's for the night.
I guess I'll just bring it up tomorrow. Alice is friendly and sweet, there's no way she won't answer honestly.
