Chapter 6: Gods' Harmony
"Captain!" the king called out as said knight appeared, "Gather all of your men and intercept the attackers!"
"At once, your majesty." the captain bowed respectfully as he went to the barracks, "Chrome! Help my father's soldiers to defend!"
"As you wish." Chrome bowed as he readies his sword and moved out, "My dear daughter, I have some doubts about your knight, can you assure me that he can help?" Stella's mother asked once she was standing in front of her, "Absolutely, mother." Stella replied with so much confidence that it reassured her mother, "If you say so."
"Oh boy." Chrome said to himself as he noticed the destruction of the kingdom, "Alright, I can do this. I just need to save the civilians and help the soldiers." he planned out inside his head as he began fighting, "Huh, is he one of us?! Why is he fighting his own kind?!" one of the human soldiers exclaimed as Chrome kept fending off anybody about to past him, "You! What are you doing siding with this half-breeds?!" one of them demanded an answer from him, "What I'm doing is none of your business. What my business is, however, is not letting anybody get past me."
"Suit yourself, traitor." the captain of the human soldiers stated rather viciously as he raised his hand towards Chrome, "Charge through the soldiers! We just need to strike down their king!"
Like a feral beast on its guard, Chrome stood on all fours and had his sword on his left hand and dagger at his right, "Not if I have anything to say about that!" Chrome growled as the 'allied' soldiers charged as well. Chrome then stood up and laid low, enough then charged as well. With swift and deadly strikes from his sword, he cut down the enemies in front of him and when he gets damaged he would strike using his dagger to heal himself. As the fight continues on, everyone were inside the castle, some are panicking and some are reassuring each other.
"My people! Everything will be alright, have some faith in our brethren that they'll win this." the king spoke in a booming tone, "My personal knight will make sure of that!" Stella added as her father looked at her, "Are you sure about that, my dear daughter?" the king asked in a skeptic tone, "Very sure, 'dear' father." Stella replied as the king looked at her for a few seconds then turned back to his people. The past minutes all they heard were clashing blades and explosions, however, what they dreaded the most came true.
The castle's giant doors were busted open as a few soldiers and Chrome went flying through it and landed a meter away from the people. Chrome was the first to stand up and used his sword as a leverage, "Dammit." Chrome huffed out as he started throwing daggers through the door and managed to do a direct hit from several enemy soldiers, regaining his health back, standing tall once more, "Kill them all!" they all heard a soldier said as they flooded through the busted door, "Not if I have anything to do with it!"
He then ran at them, hacking, slashing, and blocking the attacks as best as he can but with his animal-like instincts he was managing until giant war hammer suddenly appeared swinging at his face which made him fly back and land on his front, "Now the problem is out of the way... Kill them all, leave no survivors!" the enemy wielding the war hammer stated. Chrome's vision became very blurry as he was bloody, however, he's determined to keep his promise and tried to stand up. He's eyes started flashing blue or yellow respectively as his entire body started twitching erratically.
Somewhere in a Void of Space
"Brother! We got an unexpected situation." a man with white eyes stated, "Hm... It appears so." a bearded man with black eyes agreed, "What do you think will happen if our magical essences join together?" the man with white eyes stated, "I don't know brother, our powers, personality, and judgement is all polar opposites to each other, if it were to combine... I suspect we will be dealing with him who can control our powers now relatively easier than before." the bearded man replied as they continue to watch.
"What do you mean, brother?" the white eyed man asked curious, "Let's say, his only limits is the mana around him or should I say, life essences around him." the bearded man replied, "Would he become a threat to the entire world?" the white eyed man asked, "I don't think so, do you?"
"..." the white eyed man stopped and thought for a while, "We'll have to keep a close eye on him."
"Come on, Chrome. Wake up! We need you right now!" Stella thought as they were slowly being backed at the end of the castle, she then saw Chrome twitching erratically until she saw him smash his fist on the ground cracking a few blocks in the process, his hands started glowing green as he slowly stood up while still facing the ground, "Do you honestly think... That I'm gonna let you murder all of them... With me around." Chrome then looked directly at them as both of his eyes are glowing green, "Do you?!"
He then teleported in between the enemy soldiers and the citizens, "Give them some space, wouldn't you?" Chrome stated as he slashed his sword forward causing a strong wind that knocked them back a few meters, "There we go and now, let's settle this!" Chrome said as he sheathes his sword and started throwing knives in the air which kept afloat thanks to a green aura surrounding them. He threw enough daggers in the air that it'll become a hail storm of blades if it ever drops.
The citizens were all in awe with the display of power, even the king and queen. Stella however, was the proudest, "I knew you can do this." she thought as Chrome suddenly raised his glowing right hand as all of the daggers started pointing at the enemy, "Run if you can! War Storm!" Chrome shouted as he immediately held his hand forward which triggered all of the daggers to move towards the enemy at incredible speeds but before any enemy would bleed to death, they were already run- retreating tactically ergo, a few but not all humans died.
"Oh no you don't." Chrome said as he used Quickstep to cut off the soldier's exit, completely stopping them in the process, "You know, I'm a naturalist. That means I know and grew to respect karma... and... as you could probably see outside." Chrome pointed his thumb at the back as there were lot of humob skeleton soldiers that were slain, "I know they've been pricks to me but hey, there's always time for a clean start." he continued until it ended with a smile, "You have two options right now."
"One, you can try and go past me and two, you could try and kill the civilians at the back." Chrome stated as the soldiers pondered then some of them immediately rushed towards the civilians ready to kill them with their unsheathe weapon only for them to stop when a giant wall of daggers appeared and is dangerously pointing at them. They tried to run back but they were immediately stabbed at the back by a few of the floating daggers, "So, how about you guys try suggestion number one?"
"Whoops, my bad, none of the suggestions I gave you works." Chrome smiled rather too innocently, "Here's another suggestion for you all... Go to the void!" Chrome said with negative karma-like energy flows out of his mouth like dry ice. He then howls as the glow of his eyes and hands shone brighter. Yellow Strings shot out of both of his hands and stuck to the ground pinning him in place, the inside of his mouth shining green as well and looked like it was about to erupt like an active volcano, "Erupting Core."
The green energy pooling from his mouth shot forward at a large size that it covered the entire army seemingly incinerating them all to dust, "I... did... it..." he felt nausea flooding his brain and tiredness causing him to fall down and Stella stopped aiming at the vanishing army and instead dropped her bow and quiver down to help tend to Chrome, "Chrome? Chrome! Wake up dar- I mean my personal knight!"
"Prin...cess... you... shouldn't shout like that... it's not princess-like of you... heh..." Chrome stated as he was forced to lie up and face her smiling, however, this act made her very angry, "You idiot!" Stella slapped him causing him to lose unconscious, "Whoops." she covered her mouth processing what just happened and when it did she felt really bad, however, when she saw he was still smiling, she couldn't help but smile as well, "You idiot." she whispered to herself as she calls for a medic.
Two or three days later, the sickbay was at its liveliest as the princess kept on visiting her personal knight, who happened to have bandages all around his body and strangely his right eye, "Princess, calm down. I'm fine as the doctor and I said." Chrome replied as he had his hands going up and down stating 'sit down and not on me' to Stella, "How are you sure that you're fine?! The doctor I can understand but you?" Stella asked still sitting on his bed, "A memory of my ambitions came back to me..."
"When I turned seven, I was lying down on the bed with my parents, asking me what I wanted to be... at first I said I wanted to serve the community by being a fire fighter but then my father suggested being a doctor, I pondered... and well a year later... I was obsessed." Chrome replied having a very fond look that even Stella couldn't resist and snuggle up to him, "Good night princess." Chrome stated as he immediately went under the covers as he senses somebody getting even closer, "Princess? Are you in here? Your majesty has requested your presence at once."
"Eeh! Um... Yes, I'll be there, captain. You can continue on now." Stella said as she was surprised and immediately sat on the chair besides the bed, trying to sit down properly and fix her hair, "Um... Of course, princess." the captain went on his way as Stella sighed, "Well you heard the man, you're father is requesting you." Chrome immediately got out of the covers and sat up; "Probably about me." he sweat dropped as Stella stood up and kissed his forehead, "I'll be right back. Now don't go anywhere."
"What does she take me for? A kid?" Chrome thought as he watched her retreating figure, he sighed and said, "That beam... It didn't kill them, it sent them back... but why do I get the feeling that I sent them all back naked?" he sweat dropped but then jumped a little as the entire room was filled with soldiers wielding spears... though they're pointing at him, "Whoa, whoa, easy. You might poke out my other eye." Chrome stated as he raised his glasses to feel the bandage around his right eye while having his left hand raised high up, "Let me guess, your majesty 'demands' my 'sickly' presence?"
"I knew it." Chrome thought as he was dragged towards the throne room being thrown down like some sort of dirty rag, "Greetings your majesties." Chrome greeted as tried to kneel down properly, "What kind of torture would you do to me today?" he said without a trace of emotion that he would be better off being an object, "I don't like how your soldiers is trying my personal knight, dear father." Stella stated as her father sighed, "Stand down. He already saved the lives of everyone in this kingdom, at least show him respect and recognition." the king stated as the soldiers hesitantly put their weapons away.
"I don't blame them, your majesty. After all, beating up somebody who doesn't even want to fight back seems to lessen their anger." Chrome stated as he gave a smile, "Even then, I guess it wouldn't matter now, would it? No matter what you will do, your majesty, you won't erase your citizens' hatred for humans." Chrome stated as he tried to stand up and successfully doing so albeit with shaking legs, "Why did you 'demand' my 'trashy' presence, your majesty?" Chrome continued cutting the royalties feelings even deeper, he then sighed and said, "I know if I'm not needed so... Even if I bet my life just to prove I'm the princess' personal knight, I doubt the rest of the kingdom would treat me the same way the princess did."
Stella then suddenly thought of a rather cheeky and devious plan, "Oh dear, we, the citizens of the Skeleton Kingdom is giving a painful and miserable life for him instead of care and concern. I wonder what would the other kingdoms say if they found out that we've been hurting and insulting a 'human' soldier who vowed to protect the Skeleton Kingdom and even did it at the cost of his right eye and and his entire torso, yet here we are, letting him go, injured."
"Huh... She really wants the plan to happen." Chrome thought having a poker face on while continuing to walk away, "Halt! I didn't say you were not needed, soldier. I called you here because tomorrow would be a big day for the entire Humob Kingdoms." the king stated stopping Chrome, "I don't believe the first half, father." Stella stated as she conspicuously rolled her eyes, "That means, you will stay with my dear daughter until the event is over." the queen stated, "I'll accept on one condition."
"What is this condition?" the king asked as Chrome turned around and looked at the three royalties intently, "If ever, I heard that the other royalties doesn't want my presence, I'll leave." he stated trying to make things hard for Stella. Why do he want to leave? He thought about it before the siege even happened, "I'm unwanted by everyone... except her..." he thought as the three royalties gave each other a look, "Alright, we'll accept." the queen stated as Stella thought to herself, "I should ask my friends about human soldiers and their opinions about them."
The day finally arrived as a group of soldiers and Chrome were assigned to escort the Skeleton Royalties to the meeting place of the rest of the Humob Royalties. Nothing happened during the escort which relieved Chrome but when they were there, he gotta admit it was very impressive. He looked around and thanks to his helmet, his identity is safe, however, out of all the soldiers in the place, he is the most distinguishable soldier around, "I wonder how they would react to me being a human."
Stella ushered Chrome to follow her and he did but then slowed down seeing where she was going, "Goody, her friends." Chrome thought as Stella stopped in front of them, her friends took a second to look at the soldier behind her, "Hey guys! Long time no see!" Stella greeted out as they greeted in their own way, "So, what can we do today?" Stella asked as they pondered, "We could test what that knight behind you could do in the battlefield." a girl with sunset orange hair by the name Cupa suggested.
"Chrome? Let me ask him first." Stella stated as she faced him, "Want to do it?", "Can't deny a request from royalties, right?" Chrome replied as Stella nodded, "Alright, he says he will." Stella stated as they all nodded as well. The princes and princesses all asked their parents for setting up the arena which they agreed and when it was finished, everyone all took a seat, the bystanders sitting on the benches while the royalties were sitting on their designated throne-like chairs.
Chrome was standing at the middle of the arena and then an Enderman Soldier teleported inside the arena giving a statement that he is gonna fight him, "Unsheathe your weapon when you are ready!" the Ender King stated as the enderman soldier unsheathe his giant broadsword, Chrome unsheathes his long sword. The fight began as the soldier teleported behind him swinging horizontally however it missed when Chrome ducked immediately unsheathing his sword.
After unsheathing his sword he immediately thrusts the sheathe backwards hitting the soldier's abdomen, the damage however was lessened due to him teleporting before the thrust was at its maximum reach, "He has quick reflexes, I'll give him that." the Ender Queen stated praising Chrome, "Curious, why did he unsheathe his weapon though?" a girl with brown hair whose name is Andria or Andr for short asked, "It's his habit when he doesn't want to mortally hurt anyone." Stella happily replied as they continued watching.
The two combatants stood still as they wait for each other's next move. Chrome then threw his dagger at the soldier who made every royalty except for Stella to laugh, "Pathetic, he doesn't know Enders will never get hit by projectiles." the Ender King stated rather smug as the ender soldier teleported away from the projectile. The ender then appeared behind Chrome and slashed vertically however, it only hit the air "He's part Ender?!" the Ender King suddenly got a bit angry.
"Nope!" Stella stated as Chrome appeared behind the ender soldier, jumping up and hitting the back of the soldier's head using the hilt of his sword, knocking the soldier out cold, "Bravo, Chrome!" Stella clapped as well as her parents, "Why do you have an Ender Soldier without our permission?" the Ender Queen asked, "Auntie, Andr is taller than me by a foot or more, and Chrome here is just the same height as me." Stella stated as Chrome appeared besides her, "I assure you, I am no ender, your majesty."
"Daddy! Can he fight one of our soldiers?" Cupa asked her dad if Chrome can, "Of course, I'm very curious about his fighting style." the Creeper King replied, "Would fight another?" he asked to Chrome as he bowed, "If you wish." Chrome replied as he uses Quickstep to get back in the arena, "Send a willing soldier to fight!" the Creeper King stated as a creeper soldier were already in the arena with Chrome, "Unsheathe your weapon when you are ready!" the Creeper king announce as the two combatants did so.
"Begin!" with that, the creeper soldier suddenly was in front of Chrome which surprised him and even more so when he was punched full force sending him flying towards one of the arena walls, "Huh, that was quicker than expected." Cupa stated as they wait for the smoke to clear and when it did, Chrome was standing up right and was dusting his sleeves, "Or maybe not." Cupa's smile widens finally seeing a more interesting fight, "My turn." Chrome said as he Quickstep in front of the soldier and gave an uppercut causing the receiving end to fly upwards for about fifteen blocks high, "I think he is an Enderborn."
Stella sighed tired of hearing them accuse Chrome as an enderborn and started explaining, "If you look intently on his hands and feet, you'll see it blazing with green energy. He can use magic, a strong and flexible one at that." she started, "If you could look at his visor, you would see the same colored energy blazing from his eye, which triggers his power." she finished explaining but then, "Eye? Don't you mean eyes?" a girl with gellatin like body named Jells asked trying to make sure.
"Well... erm... He temporarily lost his depth perception." Stella answered as they all nodded in understanding that Chrome was using magic but then something unexpected happen which made almost made Stella drop her jaw down to the ground and maybe her heart also as the creeper soldier swings an uppercut at Chrome who dodged it, however, the blast of the punch made his helmet fly off him. Some of the royalty that have deep anger against humans seems all said at the same time, "A human!"
These royalties seem to be the Zombie, Blaze, Ghast, Arachnid, Slime, and Magma Cube, however, the adults were the only ones who shouted. Chrome's left eye glowed even stronger as the feeling of agitation stirred him restless, "You have much to explain, Thanatos." the Ender king said to the Skeleton King, "It appears I do, Azekah." the Skeleton King replied to the Ender King, "Calm down! This human is my daughter's guardian, who protected and took care of my daughter very well."
"How can we be sure he won't betray us all?!" the Zombie King exclaimed, "Calm yourself, Chale." Thanatos stated as he coughed, "For the love of Notch! Please don't say you don't want Chrome here!" Stella hoped inside her head knowing that if she says the wrong thing, the the thing she dread the most right now would happen in a flash, "Chrome, stop fighting!" Thanatos ordered as he did so along with the Creeper King ordering his soldier as well, "I think I know how he can show his loyalty, by fighting 'it'." Chale stated as the Skeleton King almost lost his posture.
"You mean 'it'? Those monsters that invaded our kingdoms respectively, causing destruction in it's wake?!" Thanatos exclaimed as Chale nodded, "Alright, if that is to prove his loyalty, Chrome! On your guard!" Thanatos ordered as Chrome drew his sword, "Release the Mutant Zombie!" Chale shouted as Chrome heard clanging chains and roaring as a gate opened and inside was a gigantic and blocky zombie held by ten Zombie Soldiers using chain as they drag it to the inside of the arena.
The soldiers then let go and ran away back into the gate as it shut tight, the Mutant sets its eyes on Chrome and roared as it charged at him, "Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Chrome exclaimed as he backed away and Quickstep once the mutant was too close for comfort. He then appeared on top of its head looking down at it, "Boy, you're rather ugly toda... I mean forever." Chrome smiled as the mutant suddenly claps its hands above him but hits only air as Chrome Quicksteps back in front of it.
"He's toying with the monster?!" Chale exclaimed not believing what he is seeing right now, "Guess so." Azekah replied, "Hey ugly! Over here!" Chrome shouted at the mutant as he waves his arms around getting its attention however once the mutant looks at him, he would Quickstep to the other side, "I said, over here!" Chrome stated after two more Quicksteps and would use it once more to get behind the mutant stabbing it through its head which killed it, "It is done, your majesty... Or not!"
He jumped back as the mutant stood up once more and roared, causing the earth to shake and block zombies to appear out of the ground, "Eh?" Chrome looked at the scene in front of him to see the burning zombies march towards him but sadly, they would die before they even reach him, "Nice... Aaagh!" Chrome was sent flying by the mutant and then smashed back down by it causing a few blocks to break from under him making a crater in the process, "He's strong but he's too cocky for his own good." the Creeper King stated as Stella had her hands clasped together, "Take this seriously! Like your life is depending on this!"
"That's it!" Chrome shouted as he immediately stood up lighting his hands and feet with the same green energy that is now noticeable to everyone, "War Storm!" Chrome began Quickstepping around the mutant placing a dagger in his wake and continuing it until a sphere made of floating daggers enveloped the mutant, "Bladed Coffin!" Chrome shouted as he gripped his right hand tightly and quickly causing the the sphere of daggers to rotate opposite to each other (In other words some of the daggers in each row starts spinning to the left and the others starts spinning to the right).
The sphere of daggers then starts shrinking and when the mutant tried to punch through, well the daggers cut through its iron fist, "If you revived from my last attack I guess third time's the charm!" Chrome stated as the mutant died from a thousand compressed puncture, lying down in cuts everywhere, "Yellow String!" Chrome stated as he shot one from his left and right and started going back, making a make-shift slingshot, "Oooh! Daddy, daddy! Look he also uses string!" a little cave spider girl named Silk happily stated as the Arachnid King could only smile at her daughter and continued watching the fight intently.
Once the mutant stood up once more Chrome immediately shot himself forward at incredible speed and slashes at the mutant, while keeping hold of Yellow Strings, Chrome then uses his feet to stop himself from slinging back to his original position which made him look like he's lying down with his knees at his stomach, "Hey, over here!" Chrome announce as the mutant looks at his direction and smashes the ground causing a few rocks to fly up and hit his back side, "Ouch! That was painful~!"
He slingshots himself back and did two slashes this time with his sword and dagger however he lets go of Yellow Strings and grabbed the mutants head and did a flip causing the head to be ripped apart from the mutant's body. The body then disappeared however the head didn't and he just threw it aside but the Arachnid King and Queen exclaimed as their youngest daughter jumped down to the arena and ran towards Chrome who knelt down eye to eye with Silk.
"Mr. Knight! Mr. Knight! Can you give me your string?" Silk asked as politely as possible as Chrome nodded and clasped his hand together and slowly pulls apart the clasped hand to show yellow strings and gave it to her however it is short, "Aw, it's too short." Silk pouted as Chrome chuckled, "Don't worry, princess. This string is stretchable." he demonstrated as he took the string and pulls causing the string to stretch five times it's normal length, 'See? You can weave multiple handkerchiefs with this one string."
"Amazing! Thank you!" Silk hugged him which he didn't hug back considering the royalties in front of him, "Would you like to get back to your parents?" Chrome asked as she nodded, "Alright, hold my hand." he held out his hand as Silk took it. He then Quickstep in front of the Arachnid King and Queen and went back in to the arena, "Mommy! Daddy! Look, I got a string from him!" Silk happily stated to her parents as she showed the two inch string, "It's rather short."
"He said we can make multiple handkerchiefs with this one string!" Silk stated, "Okay, what do you think, is he loyal enough?" Thanatos stated as the entire royalties scrutinized him, "If he can do a little favor,we'll all agree that he is trustworthy enough." the Queens stated which made Chrome tilt his head to the left curious, "Why do I feel like I'm gonna have a few love rivals?" Stella thought as her eyes widen and so well as Chrome's left eye upon hearing what the Queens said.
That's a wrap! Thank you all guys and gals for reading this chapter! If you enjoyed it stay tune because there is absolutely no more schedules happening that I have previously stated in my previous stories. Reason is... School. Well with that out of way! Let me recap Chrome's power progression
Servant of Nature = He now uses life force to cast his very potent magic. His power is limited to the life force in him and around him.
Flow of Nature = He now have nature's life force flowing through him, caused by two great deities' magics fusing together in one host.
Well, considering all of this now, I think it's time to show the winning OCs in the next chapter or so. Now with that out of the way! I hope you all have a pleasant Day/Night! :D
