Chapter 7: Castle Crashers Part 1
The scene showed Max, Mani and Kaori as they fled the Eastern Regions who have been taken over by Wangzhou.
Kaori was in tears, the shear thoughts of her home being taken over by someone whom she never trusted to begin with.
Mani noticed this and he hugged her.
Mani: There there, it's okay. We can rescue your home once we destroy the Lord.
Kaori: I know but I spent my whole life there before joining Roost.
Lindworm: I guess the saying "There is no place like home" prooves my point.
Mani hugged her tighter.
Mani: Come on Kaori, this isn't the real you. The real you acts tough and hard to get, you don't cry cause your a strong girl and that's why I don't wanna leave you. You showed people like me who they are and I don't wanna see you in this situation.
Kaori looked at Mani and smiled.
Kaori: Thank you for your bold words Mani...
Mani: No problem.
Max called Surge.
Max: Hey Surge where are you?
Surge: Still approaching the castle. We stopped to see that the Lord's minions have gathered more servants for him.
Max: Yikes, this is getting out of hand, we have to get to the castle and warn the king about it. By the way have you got any contact from Brock and the others?
Surge: Brock told me that it was all under control, make sure you guys get there.
Max nodded as she ended the call.
Max: Come on, we have to get to the castle as fast as we can. The Lord could attack at any moment.
The others nodded and they ran as fast as they could.
The scene changed to Wangzhou who was outside of the Emperor's Room with Jaakuna Hi and Kurai Kage next to him.
Soon Qin and Qinling arrived to the scene.
Wangzhou: Salute your Emperor!
Jaakuna Hi/Kurai Kage: Yaoguai Wangzhou, my Emperor.
They kneeled behind Wangzhou.
Wangzhou: You 2... Say it!
He pointed at Qin and Qinling.
Qin: We serve the maximum authority, the Emperor. And you're the Emperor.
Qinling: We shall serve you Emperor.
They then turned around and left, but then Fayemalice came in the scene as she clapped at Wangzhou.
Fayemalice: I guess congratulations are in order, but now it's time to fufill your end of the bargain.
Wangzhou remembered about his deal with Fayemalice.
Wangzhou: Oh, the Lord I forgot...
He then smiled and laughed at Fayemalice.
Wangzhou: Why would I help you? I'm Emperor now!
Fayemalice was displeased and Kurai Kage smiked.
Jaakuna Hi: Your imperial majesty, it is not wise to go against this so called Lord of Corruption. He and his army of dark souls could be a convinient ally in case your enemies came back with the intention of dethroning you.
Wangzhou wanted to snap back at his counsel, but he had some points. There are some people in the Eastern Regions that didn't accept Wangzhou as an Emperor.
Wangzhou: Alright alright, let's show those Western Kingdoms who we are.
Fayemalice was now pleased.
Fayemalice: Good decision, you're expected to attack the south walls of the Mundi castle.
Jaakuna Hi: Then we shall march west to the castle.
Kurai Kage then raised his sickles and he had a confident smile on his face as he knew what was next.
The scene changed to the Mundi castle.
Surge, Jozef and Bea were outside and soon Max, Mani and Kaori joined with them.
Jozef: You made it, what took you so long.
Max: We had a fight back at the Eastern Regions against a guy named Wangzhou who chose to side with the Lord.
Kaori: And the Eastern Regions are now under his control as he is Emperor.
Wings: Damn that sucks.
Mani nodded.
Mani: Anyways why are you all not inside.
???: Because the king hasn't decided to let you in.
They turned around to see this bulky armored creature.
Bea: Woah, who are you?
Valgar: I am Valgar, Valgar the Pure. And I'm the leader of this castle's royal guard.
Lindworm: Look you have to let us in, the Lord of Corruption is ready to strike at any moment.
Valgar: Ah yes I heard about the Lord from your friends, but king Daeron hasn't seen you.
Max: We're friends with Iguanazar, the former king of this castle.
Valgar was surprised about the heroes' friendship with Iguanazar.
Valgar: Iguanazar? Ah yes, he and I are good friends and so is the king. Anyone who's a friend of Iguanazar is a friend of mine.
He then nodded for the guards to open the gates.
Valgar: Follow me.
They nodded and followed Valgar.
The scene changed to the Lord who eyed the troops he was given by his servants.
The Lord: Not bad... Not bad at all...
Dark-Er: We did our best to find these brave warriors for you, our Lord.
The Lord then smiled.
The Lord: Alright, as you all have heard from my servants. I want my 3rd relic back so I could start with my quest to rule everything. Fayemalice has already struck a deal with the new Emperor of the Eastern Regions and said that he will aid you with his Terracotta army to find me the relic. You will all go to war against the Mundi castle and your objective is to find me my relic and make sure no one survives.
He then put his hands behind his back.
The Lord: I imagine that the Pure monsters found a way to spread their "Purity".
Gartox: Not to worry my Lord, it'll soon be an anecdote when you reign supreme.
Mouseron: Yes, all shall fall and pray at your presence.
The Lord: Excellent, now go and raid the castle!
The servants along with the rest of the Lord's new recruits went on their way to the castle.
The scene changed to the throne room where king Daeron met Max and the others.
Daeron: Interesting, so these are you friends Lady Meow?
Lady Meow: Indeed your majesty, they're here to help us fight off Corruption and the Lord. If the Lord gets his relic then he will be ressurected in all his dark glory.
Mani: We can't let that happen.
Daeron: I see... Very well, since you're all friends with Iguanazar you have my trust.
Surge: Thank you your majesty.
Daeron noticed that Jozef was diffrent from the others.
Daeron: Why is your winged friend not Pure like the rest of you?
Jozef: Well you see, I wanted to be Pure but the influence of my wings denied my chance since they're evil but will listen to me.
Daeron: So you say that it was all a minor setback and that you have good intentions?
Jozef nodded.
Then suddenly Ferrata came into the scene.
Ferrata: Your majesty, hordes of Corrupted monsters are approaching the castle.
Daeron: Then we have no time to lose, rally the troops and start fighting back. Don't let them get the relic!
She along with the heroes left and Lady Meow was the only one left.
Lady Meow: Your majesty the only way to fight Corruption is through Purity.
Daeron: I understand that you'd thino of me as the ideal Pure monster but it's risky to fight with who knows what's out there.
Lady Meow: Well I have a proposal
Daeron: Well what can you propose.
Lady Meow: I say put Crow in charge of the wall.
Daeron cringed upon hearing Crow's name.
Daeron: Crow, you mean the bird who talks like he's boss around here and plus he disresptected me. I don't like him.
Lady Meow: Yeah he has that reputation but believe me when I say this, he's one of the strongest fighters I have seen and for such a small guy he's very durable. Ask Kat-Herine and Ferrata about it.
Daeron: Very well, Crow can be in charge of the south wall but I want you to purify my monsters of trust, I can gurantee you that they're good at heart.
He then got up from his throne.
Daeron: Purify Hammergrom and Royal Magus, Hammergrom will keep me protected while Royal Magus will go with Crow. Her powers can be of great help to him.
Lady Meow: To that sir I have no objections.
The scene changed to the Corrupted monsters marching towards the castle.
Suddenly castle troops got out of the gates and charged at the Corrupted.
Max, Mortis and Bea were with some of the troops and supported them by attacking the evil ones with their projectiles.
Mortis on the other hand was dashing as he slashed some Corrupted monsters' bodies and let them to bleed dry.
He then creates a medium sandstorm and sent it as it hit a large variety of Corrupted monsters.
Neurofunk and Rudechaw managed to hold on while the others were getting beaten down.
Neurofunk: That sandstorm just blew off 14% of our troops.
Rudechaw: I don't care about calculations, I wanna eat some people.
He then pounced at Mortis who managed to dodge the swings of Rudechaw's arm.
Mortis: You aren't fast enough.
He then did a spin dash and hit Rudechaw in the face and was sent flying across the battlefield.
Surge was with Brock and Kat-Herine who were in charge of the west wall.
Brock: Alright we have to defend the wall from the hordes coming.
Kat-Herine: It won't be easy, so brace yourselves.
Surge: I always did.
He flipped his shades and then put them back again while smiling
Brock: By the way what did you do with Crow, Kat?
Kat-Herine: Well after the whole situation with the king, I brought him to his room and taught him some manners.
Brock: You know for someone so small you can sure be dangerous.
Kat-Herine: Don't judge a book by it's cover Brock, you don't know how dangerous I can be.
Then suddenly Skelecktron and Dark-Er came as they lead a horde of Corrupted monsters.
Brock: And that's our que.
He and Surge jumped off the walls and Kat-Herine was shocked.
Brock aimed his rocket launcher at the horde and Surge upgraded to tier 4.
Surge: Let's rock!
They fired their shots.
Skelecktron was charging at them but Surge teleported to him and punched Skelecktron so hard that he was sent flying above the battlefield.
Dark-Er hid behind a tree as he aimed his boxing glove gun at Brock, but Kat-Herine used her magic to manipulate the glove as it hit the ground.
Dark-Er: Hey that's cheating!
Brock: Tell ya what, shut up fool!
He fired a rocket at Dark-Er immediatly dodged the shot and it exploded behind him.
Dark-Er: You almost hit me right in the kisser!
Those words hit Brock like a ton of bricks.
Brock: I remember that line...
The scene changed to Crow who was following Lady Meow to the south walls.
Lady Meow: Alright I managed to talk to the king to give you a chance of prooving your worth to him instead of talking back.
Crow: Hey, I never agreed to serving him.
Lady Meow: I never said you had to serve him Crow, it's just he dislikes you but if you defend the south wall with ease maybe he can change his mind about you.
Crow: Fine... But still I'm the boss of bosses.
Lady Meow rolled her eyes as she cackled.
They made it to the south walls where they met Royal Magus and Hammergrom who were purified by Lady Meow.
Lady Meow: Royal Magus, can you use your eyes of truth to see the current situation going on?
Royal Magus used her staff as his eyes glowed in a shade of pink.
Royal Magus: The hordes of Corrupted monsters are attacking on all sides, but what's worse is that the army of the Eastern Regions are marching towards the south wall.
Hammergrom: The Terracotta warriors? I thought those guys were honorable.
Royal Magus: They're under a new power.
Lady Meow was really worried.
Lady Meow: This is bad, we have a lot in our plates.
Crow crossed his arms.
Crow: Tell me about it, this went from 0 to a 100 real quick.
Hammergrom: Is this the bird that disrespected the king?
Crow: Yeah, but hey I'm sorry ok.
Hammergrom gave the human/bird hybrid a sharp look.
Hammergrom: I got my eyes on you.
He then turned to Lady Meow.
Hammergrom: But anyways thank you for the purification Lady Meow, but right now the king waits for me to take him to the royal shelter.
Lady Meow: Yeah, it's for the best.
Hammergrom left them.
Lady Meow: I'm gonna go and help Equaleria set up the defences from the east walls and Crow you better behave yourself.
She as well left the scene.
Crow: Got it, no need to worry about. I'm ready when these Terra-crap warriors arrive.
Royal Magus: Languange, Crow.
The scene changed to Jozef, Mani and Kaori who were on the east wall, as then Lady Meow and a monster named Equaleria arrived.
Lady Meow: You guys are already there, anyways this is Equaleria.
Equaleria: Nice to meet you all.
Jozef: It's a pleasure, but right now we have to deal with a horde of these monsters.
Equaleria: Then that's why I'm here, to help you with the defenses.
Mani then saw a huge horde of monsters coming.
Mani: Oh snap, that's a lot of them coming our way.
Kaori: We have no time to lose.
She jumped off the wall and marched to the monsters and used her skills to fight them off.
She saw that Urtikus was charging straight at her but she kept dodging his blade.
Kaori ducked and slid underneath Urtikus before she could slice off the walking rose's head off as it fell down the battlefield.
The others watched in shock.
Mani: That's why I love her...
Wings: It ain't no surprise sherlock.
Soon more and more kept approaching on all sides.
Then the Terracotta army with Kurai Kage leading march were slowly walking towards the south walls.
Wangzhou was ontop of a carriage as he sat down on a throne with Jaakuna Hi next to him.
Jaakuna Hi: You made a good decision to help out the Lord of Corruption, my Emperor. If you had refused to do the deal you made with Fayemalice then we could've become his enemies.
Wangzhou: Remember, we're only "helping" the Lord so that we could get him off our backs, besides I bet he wouldn't even dare to challenge me to a showdown. After all, what's a Lord compared to an Emperor.
He narrowed his eyes.
Wangzhou's mind: Soon, I'll show you who rules and who bends the knee....
OK guys, this was chapter 6
Peace out!
