Chapter 6
"What was that?!", Olivia shouted. "I don't know, it seems that something on the town exploded", Felicia replied.
GLAAAR! GLAAAAAAR! GLAAR!
Another sound of explosions emerged. And smokes appeared from many spots in the town. "I think, the town is under attack", George said. "Attack? Who dares to do so?", Olivia replied. "I don't know, why did you ask me, shouldn't I be the dummy one?", George replied back.
"What happened?", Fiorentin shouted while running towards her companions direction. Elraven followed behind her. " What is going on in this town?", Fiorentin said. "Fio, I think the town is under attack!" Felicia answered to Fiorentin question. "Hm? Who would want to attack this town other than us?"Fiorentin asked again.
"Huh?! You,you guys want...to destroy this town? Why?", Elraven asked to the group. "We don't want to destroy this town, we just want to take control of it. We need Alberta as our new base. But it seems, someone other than us attacked this town before we did", Fiorentin explained.
So, you guys really...are not from Valdomir?! You guys really are....Sagramore?", Elraven asked surprisingly. "I told you, right? But, you didn't seem to believe me" Fiorentin said calmly to Elraven.
"I, I'm sorry but, you were so straight!! You asked about me being a gunslinger right after introduced yourself. And I kinda though you were threatening me back there" Elraven tried to explain.
"Don't worry, come to think of it, it was my fault too. But truly, I only wanted to see your reaction. Let's say, it was some kind of trick to make you reveal your true self, and you fell for it", Fiorentin replied calmly. "Huh? Oh? Oh? Right", Elraven said embarrassingly.
"Well, ok. Let's not talk about this any further now. We can't let this town to be destroyed just yet. Will you lend us a hand, Elraven?" Fiorentin replied calmly. "Sure, what can I do for you guys?", Elraven answered. "Simple, find whoever attacking this town and defeat them. Can you do that?", Fiorentin explained calmly.
"Yes, of course!", Elraven replied back. "OK, now guys! Follow my orders! George, I want you to go to the south part of the town, stop whoever attacking this town! Felicia you come with me to the west part of the the town! And Mr. Gunslinger, please go with Olivia to the east part of the town!", Fiorentin ordered. "Yes, mam!", the others replied.
"Hey, wait a sec! Nobody goes to the north part of the town?", George asked to Fiorentin. "Well, we are at the north part of Alberta and nothing happened here",Fiorentin replied. "Oh yeah, right", George replied back. "Oh hey, wait! Nobody accompanies me?", George asked again. "You dummy! Let me have him as your partner, summon : Devi!" Olivia shouted to George while summoning her pet.
"Devi, go with this dummy coward wherever he goes, ok?" Olivia ordered. Her pet nodded.
"OK, let's go guys!", Fiorentin said so the group didn't waste anymore time. The group rushed to the appointed direction. But, Olivia was surprised when Elraven ran back to the inn.
"What are you doing, Mr. Gunslinger?" Olivia shouted. "I need to get my guns and attire, and I have to save the owner of the inn!! You go first, I'll catch up as soon as I can" Elraven said back. "OK!" Olivia replied.

Alberta is now like a sea of fire. Smokes came from every point possible. Many people screamed in pain, may were dead. Many mothers tried to find their children, and many children cried for their parents.

Meanwhile, in the east part of Alberta...
"Hahahahhahahahahha, success!! The plan is being carried out perfectly!!", Geckar shouted happily. He's on Drake's pirate ship above the town. "Thanks to your flying ship, Captain Drake!! I can enjoy the destruction of Alberta from the perfect spot!!", he continued. Drake didn't reply. "And the bloody branches that High Wizard gave me summoned Atroce and Mistress, what a sight to behold. Four S-Class monsters at the same time!!", he continued happily.
Suddenly, Drake choked Geckar with his normal hand and lift Geckar to the air. "Hey, w,w,w, what are you d,d,d,doing? P,p,p,put me down! I can't b,b,b,breath!!, Geckar said while suffocating for air. "Watch your bloody mouth,mortal!! We are not monsters!!! Do you want me to cut you in half with my Saber like your two insolent underlings? Who couldn't stop saying I'm a monster?", Drake said angrily to the suffocated Geckar.
"No,no. I'm sorry. P,p,p,please put me down", Geckar begged. Drake dropped him. Geckar tried to breath heavily. "Skeletons, fire the cannons again!!", Drake ordered his pirate skeletons.
GLAR!GLAR!GLAR!!
The pirate skeletons shot the cannons in the ship to many buildings in Alberta, destroying them in process. One of the pirate skeletons approached Drake and said, "Captain , we have an intruder below the ship. A high priest is looking right up here". Drake looked down to the ground and saw Olivia looking at them. "Hm, don't worry. I'll take her out!" Drake said while jumping to the ground.
GRAAK!
He landed right in front of Olivia, who stared at him bravely."Why are you looking at me like that, woman?" Drake asked her while drawing his Saber.
"You, you shot your cannons so many times right? Don't you know, just by coming here I've seen many people died. I only managed to heal some of them. Why did you do this? Did the people of Alberta did something to you? Or your actions were only to fulfill your lust of blood?",Olivia answered angrily.
"You don't need to know, mortals. Summon : Wraith Dead!!" Drake shouted. Six wraith dead appeared, and started attacking Olivia. Olivia drew her hardcover book and chanted, "Magnus Exorcimus!!". The white holy light destroyed the wraiths. But Drake quickly managed to sneak behind her, and swung his Saber on her. "Die, woman" he shouted.
BANG! BANG!
Two bullets shots hit right at Drake's head, sent him flying and saving Olivia's life. "Bull's eye!!", Elraven shouted. Now in his gunslinger attire with a long iron box attached to his back with a belt.
"Mr. Gunslinger, you finally come!!", Olivia said happily. "Told you I'd come. Sorry I'm late. I have to tell the children, the owner of the inn, and some town folks to hide in the inn's basement", Elraven replied.
"That's ok! Hey, what's that long box attached to your back?", Olivia asked. "My secret weapon", Elraven explained.
But, the happiness didn't last long as Drake stand up, alive and well. "How dare you shot my face mortals, I'll kill both of you right now" he shouted. "Well, I guess an undead wouldn't die by a one or two shots, huh? Are you ready for some action, miss?" Elraven asked to Olivia. "Sure" Olivia said. And then the two prepared to battle Drake.

At the same time, in the west part of Alberta...
When Fiorentin and Felicia arrived at the west part of Alberta, they found a pile of dead bodies belong to the Valdomir soldiers guarding Alberta.
"Look at this dead bodies, who could do something like this?" Fiorentin asked to Felicia while watching the bodies. "But, Fio. They are our enemies, right? Why would you feel sorry for them? Shouldn't you be grateful they died?", Felicia asked her.
"Felicia, I believe these soldiers were our people too. Valdomir made them as their soldiers. Please, refrain for saying something like that again", Fiorentin replied . "I'm sorry Alexandria. I was just...surprised, I have never thought something like that would ever come from someone like you, who leads Sagramore in this war" Felicia replied back.
"Just because I'm in a war, doesn't mean that I like to kill. That's why I tried not to shed so many bloods as much as I could, even in a battle field", Fiorentin explained. Felicia suddenly realized something, maybe that's why Fiorentin made this mission.
Because she didn't want her soldiers to take the danger for her. She truly cares for her people. Maybe that's why so many warriors joined her in this war, because her kindness is bigger than her power.
"Fio, I...", Felicia couldn't finished her words because suddenly a menacing voice come from their behind. "Another humans to kill", Turtle General said. "I want the paladin, she looks yummy", Mistress continued. Fiorentin and Felicia saw Turtle Generals and Mistress along with their turtle and bee soldiers standing not far from them.
"Let's save the talk for later, Felicia", Fiorentin said while grabbing her claymore. "Got it", Felicia replied while preparing her lance.

"Well, well. What do we have in here, Devi?" George said to Devi when he saw an Atroce walking towards George who just arrived to the south part of Alberta. "Prepare to die, human" Atroce said to George. "No, you prepare to die Wolfie!" George replied while advancing to a stance, readied himself for a battle.

The next chapter is George ( and Devi) vs Atroce. Don't forget to tell me if I made mistakes in grammar. Please, R&R!
Several improvisation I made in this chapter:
1. Pet owners can summon their pet
2. I made Drake's ship could fly in the air because I thought it would be cool
3. The MVP monsters are called S-Class monsters because I thought it would be weird if I refer them as MVP
