0713MM: Hey guys! I welcome you to the 8th chapter of The Silver Valkyrie! I do not own Black Clover, nor its characters, nor the OCs and their spells that are used in this chapter. The OCs are owned by Warmachine375. Chapter start!^^

Chapter 8

"Look at them! Running away!" Broccos chuckled as he, Yagos, Ragus, and their armies began to storm Kiten.

"Even some of the Magic Knights here are fleeing." Ragus noted. "Don't bother with the fleeing people. All we need to do is secure Kiten for Diamond."

"Ha! That'll be simple!" Yagos chuckled. "With the other Magic Knights preoccupied with the attack on the Royal Capital of Clover, this'll be easy!"

"Are you sure about that?" A deep voice remarked. Ragus turned to see a gigantic armored knight in front of them.

"What the?" Broccos gaped. The Magic Knights turned to look at who arrived. Guildre watched from the side, intrigued.

Whoever that is, help is appreciated. Guildre thought. I took this assignment to not get caught. Looks like Lady Luck is on my side after all.

"Who are you?" Yagos questioned.

"It doesn't matter." Ragus retorted. "Men, attack!" All 3 of their armies charged forwards into Kiten and began to destroy the buildings.

"I dunno who this giant is, but if it's going to defend Kiten, then I'll take it down!" Broccos grinned. "Red Clay Magic: Red Ochre Armor!" Broccos then began to grow in size so he was equal to the height of the giant armored figure.

"No you fool!" Ragus groaned. "Oh well. Yagos! Keep the Magic Knights busy!"

"Right!" Yagos grinned as he shot his Mucus Magic towards citizens and the Magic Knights. Guildre scowled in frustration.

"This will not do!" Guildre groaned. "Alright then! I'll use my Invisible Seeker and Invisible Traveling Companion spells in tandem with one another to aid my squad." Upon saying the 2 spells' names, he, and the rest of his Purple Orcas became invisible.

"Uhh sir?" One of the Purple Orcas asked Guildre.

By letting that giant armored man handle this, I'll swoop in in the aftermath and take all the credit. Guildre thought to himself. Broccos and the giant armored figure began to clash with their fists, causing massive shockwaves throughout Kiten and bit beyond in all directions. As the 2 continued to punch each other, Guildre sent out his Invisible Knights spell to attack the Diamond Shining General armies.

That'll keep them busy. Guildre thought to himself as he watched the Diamond Soldiers cry out in shock as they began to be slashed down one by one. Ragus was the first to notice this and turned his attention to Yagos.

"Yagos!" Ragus called out to his fellow Shining General. "Our men!"

"Huh?" The Mucus Magic Shining General spoke before he too noticed it. "Aaaaaah! An ambush?! But I don't see anything!"

"Idiot….." Ragus muttered. "There's shadows on the ground! Aim for those!"

"Right!" Yagos does so; thus shattering the invisible knights. "Oh! So that's what those were! Ha! Now I know where those Magic Knights are hiding!

Crap! Guildre, plus all of the Purple Orca squad thought simultaneously. Yagos unleashed several mucus magic attacks at the shadows; entrapping the Purple Orcas; thus revealing them one by one. While Yagos did that, Ragus turned his attention back to the giant armored figure that Broccos was fighting. His eyes widened slightly upon seeing a bluish gem in the center.

"Broccos! Aim for the gem!" Ragus told him.

"What?! I can't hear you over the noise!" Broccos shouted back as he blocked another punch from the giant armored figure.

"Ugh…! Fine. Guess I'll do it myself." Ragus muttered as he prepared his lightning arrows, then fired all of them at the blue gem in the center of the giant's armor. However…

"Earth Creation Magic: Gauntlet of the Giant God!" Two giant stone hands appeared in front of the giant armored figure and began to pummel Broccos repeatedly, as well as bouncing some of the lightning arrows away from the giant's armor. Ragus and Broccos gaped in shock.

"What the hell?!" Broccos gritted his teeth as he regained his composure. "Who did that?!"

"That was me." An older toned curvaceous woman with long blonde hair with blue streaks (that is sometimes braided) and brown eyes although she wore an eyepatch that covered the right side of her face due to missing her right eye, now having only scar tissue covering the socket, and wears a black shirt over a white button down blouse, a knee-length skirt with a belt and slit dress and black sandals. On her left is a pouch for her Heart Grimoire, which was now open and in front of her as she stepped forward from what appeared to be a house. "I heard commotion outside, so I decided to check it out." She looked up at the giant armored figure. "More importantly, to see if my friend was okay." She narrowed her eyes slightly. "And to protect Kiten from invaders like you 3."

"I'm okay Valeria." The giant replied. "And you're right. Let's kick their asses!" Valeria glanced up at the giant and nodded.

"Right." She replied. "So, are you 3 prepared to leave?" Ragus, Yagos, and Broccos glanced at each other before laughing.

"Not happening!" The 3 retorted.

"Fire on the giant!" Ragus ordered as he launched more lightning arrows, while Broccos charged towards the giant and rammed his fist into the chestplate of the giant armored figure. The punch was ferocious enough to make the giant skid backwards and through a few buildings. Guildre released his Invisibile Seeker and Traveling Companion spells at this point. Mostly because he knew at this point that the enemies could now see them.

Guess they don't need much help. Guildre thought to himself. No matter. Once those 2 capture the 3 Shining Generals for me, I'll swoop in and take all the credit. Heh heh heh….. While Ragus flew after the giant on his lightning created bird, Broccos turned his attention to Valeria.

"Ragus took my initial target." Broccos groaned before grinning. "But you'll do!" He took notice of the eyepatch and chuckled. "Oh ho! Look at you! You must have been in a really tough battle to have lost an eye!"

"You could say that." Valeria retorted.

"No matter! I'll beat you in one fell swoop!" Broccos retorted as he thrusted his right hand forward and towards Valeria. But his right fist never connected. Instead, he was trapped by the 2 stone hands Valeria created earlier! "What?!"

"Earth Magic: Embrace of the Giant God." Valeria revealed. "With this spell, you're now trapped."

"Damn it all!" Broccos growled as he tried to break free via his brute strength.

"Let me lend you a hand Broccos!" Yagos came towards Valeria and Broccos and used his Mucus Magic to free Broccos. Valeria looked up and took notice of several Purple Orcas trapped within Yagos mucus.

If I attack him, I'll only hurt the Magic Knights trapped inside. Valeria thought.

With the giant armored figure and Ragus, who were now fighting elsewhere within Kiten, Ragus continued to shoot lightning and lightning arrows at the armor's weak point.

If I manage to destroy the armor, I'll find out who's inside. Ragus thought.

"If there's a mage in that armor, use your magic!" Ragus shouted as he unleashed more lightning arrows on the giant armored figure, who simply swatted them away and aimed to punch Ragus off his lightning bird, who evaded the punch. Ragus then fired more lightning arrows while avoiding the punches.

"You want to see my magic?" The giant armored figure replied with a deep voice. "Then here; I'll show you. Golden Eye Magic: Heat Ray!" The eye sockets of the suit of armor glowed a gold color.

"What the-?" Ragus began, only to be hit by 2 golden energy beams that made him go flying. The giant armored figure charged after the flying backwards Ragus.

With Valeria, she was staring at the Mucus Diamond Mage, Yagos. Who had several citizens and Purple Orcas inside of it.

What do I do? Valeria thought.

"Mwha! Just give up already!" Yagos laughed. "With all these people captive by magic, you won't be able to lay a finger on me!"

He's almost right. Valeria thought. So, I have to use THAT method in order to defeat this guy and save the citizens and Magic Knights, huh? Valeria waved her 2 arms around as earthly runes appeared around her 2 arm's wrists, making Yagos confused, as well as Guildre.

What is she doing? Guildre and Yagos both thought.

"True Earth Magic: Giga Crush!" Valeria revealed. At once, the ground underneath Yagos imploded; thus shattering his mucus and freeing everyone he had captive prior. As well as launch large chunks of debris into the air. The citizens and Magic Knight that were freed.

"What?! But how?!" Yagos gaped.

"The natural mana in this world guides me." Valeria retorted. "True Earth Magic: Giga Fall!" Before Yagos could react, all the debris that was shot up into the air from Giga Crush slammed down into Yagos; thus creating a massive explosion and a crater in the ground. Yagos now knocked out cold. Unfortunately, the shockwave from the attack freed Broccos. Broccos grinned in satisfaction that he was freed.

"Ha! Such a foolish woman!" Broccos retorted. "Due to your own spell you just did now on Yagos, I'm free!"

"Are you sure?" Valeria remarked.

"Huh?" Broccos wondered aloud.

"Earth Binding Magic: Binding Lock!" Valeria declared. Suddenly, several earthly hands rose out of the ground and wrapped around Broccos.

"Gah….! Can't move…..!" Broccos grunted. Valeria dusted her hands off, satisfied with her work.

"There. Now to find my friend." Valeria noted as she walked off in the direction Ragus had gone flying. Guildre watched in amazement from the sidelines.

Incredible! He thought. Defeating 2 Shining Generals like it was nothing! Perhaps I should give some hospitality towards her and her friend as thanks after this is over.

Back with Ragus, he grunted in irritation as the giant who kept pummeling with its fists towards him. While he wasn't as aggressive as he was earlier, he was moreso in thought.

Golden Eye Magic…. Why do I feel that that's familiar… Ragus thought as he evaded another punch attack followed up by a Golden Eye Magic: Heat Ray attack. Then it dawned on him and his lips curved into a smile.

"Ah yes, now I remember. You were one of Fanzell Kruger's students." Ragus smirked before frowning. "But why leave Diamond and live in Kiten?" At first, the giant armored figure didn't respond. But then…

"That's something you don't need to wrap your pretty little head around too much." The deep voice of the giant figure retorted coolly.

"Humph! It will concern me once I shatter that armor!" Ragus retorted, firing more lightning arrows at the armor's weak point. This time, the giant armored figure could not stop them in time and they all connected. The armor began to crack after taking too many hits and it shattered; thus revealing who was inside of it the whole time. Ragus gaped upon seeing who it was. An amber eyed young curvaceous woman with bun styled brown yellow hair. She wears a long, elegant dress, and a white short-hood over her shoulders, as well as glasses. The woman landed on the ground, grimoire open.

"You're….!" Ragus began, a shocked expression on his face.

"I'm Alice Brosnan." The woman retorted, who pointed her right index finger at Ragus. "And you Shining General, are invading my home of the city of Kiten."

"Alice Brosnan…." Ragus repeated while muttered. "Oh yes! You are one of Fanzell Kruger's students! But after he told his students of his defect, most of them followed. Seems Mars, Fana, and you did just that."

"Alice!" Alice and Ragus turned to see a crystal color-haired male coming towards them.

"Ah, so there's Mars." Ragus remarked. "Nice to see you again Mars! Shame it's on opposite sides of the battlefield though."

"Master taught us to use our magic to defend the people." Mars retorted. "And I'll do just that!" His grimoire opened up and floated in front of him, turning to a specific page before it glowed.

Crystal Creation Magic: Laevateinn! Mars thought as the large crystal sword formed above him. Alice watched as Mars commanded the sword to strike Ragus, who evaded.

"I see your magic is strong as ever." Ragus noted. "However, you cannot defeat me Mars!"

"Who said I'd be the one to do it?" Mars grinned, making Ragus's facial expression become confused. "The mana did lead me here, which I do not understand. But I think I do now." He glanced at Alice, then back at Ragus. "It's to protect my friends!"

"Friend?" Alice repeated before she chuckled. "Well, since we were both taught by Fanzell, I suppose that counts. We had nothing against each other as children, so why would we start now." She glanced at Mars. "Speaking of, where is Fana?" Mars was about to respond, but the 2 had to evade some lightning arrows fired by Ragus.

"If you have time to chat, then you have time to fight!" Ragus retorted.

"Mars, go find Fana!" Alice told him. "I can handle Ragus on my own!"

"I won't leave anyone behind!" Mars shot back.

"I got this!" Alice reassured the defected Diamond Kingdom Mage as she turned to face Ragus and her eyes glowed gold again. "Golden Eye Binding Magic: Overpower Glare!" Just as Ragus unleashed another barrage of lightning arrows, which Mars used his crystal sword to block, Ragus's body began frozen by Alice's binding spell.

Dammit! I can't move! Ragus thought angrily. No doubt our remaining men already retreated despite our motto of never retreating. But I guess you have to learn that the hard way…. Just as Alice's spell concluded, Valeria reached her and Mars. Valeria sighed in relief upon realizing Mars was only here to help and not cause harm.

"I've binded the other 2 Shining Generals." Valeria told Alice.

"Very good Valeria." Alice nodded. She turned to Mars and chuckled. "Oh how silly of me! Mars, meet Valeria Autumn."

"Pleasure." Mars remarked.

"Splendid." Guildre applauded as he approached them. "I appreciate the extra hands in this." Mars and Alice smiled and told him it was no problem. Valeria on the other hand, felt herself twitch out of irritation.

Why…...Why the hand puns…..? Valeria thought.

"So I'll take these 3 Shining Generals in now." Guildre told Alice and Valeria. He turned to go with his squad to lead the captured Shining Generals away, but stopped. "Oh and before I forget, perhaps you'd like to live at the Purple Orcas HQ?" Valeria and Alice looked at each other, then back at the Purple Orcas Captain.

"We'll pass." Both women replied. Guildre, on the outside, was disappointed. But on the inside, he was relieved.

"Alright." He said before leaving with his squad. After they left, a spatial portal appeared and out came Courtney and Julius.

"Hi there." Julius greeted. Mars was surprised by the appearance of the Wizard King, as was Alice. Valeria turned her attention to face Julius.

The Wizard King, Julius Novachrono. Valeria thought. I wonder what warranted you to come here, my friend.

0713MM: And that does it for Chapter 8!^^ I know, the attack on Kiten was kinda compressed into 1 chapter, but I will be returning to Kiten after the upcoming chapter. The chapter after the upcoming one will be the aftermath of both attacks that took place. On the bright side, I was able to introduce 2 more OCs.^^
