More monsters approached the east wall of the castle.

Mani: Come on we gotta go and help Kaori out.

Jozef nodded as he flew up in the air and pulled out his laser gun.

Wings: Let's roast some people!

Jozef fired at the Corrupted monsters.

Mani jumped off of the wall and ran to the monsters, he was surrounded by 3.

One of them swinged their weapon towards Mani but he ducked and kicked the monster and then took it's weapon and sliced off it's head.

Another monster with an axe tried to penetrate Mani's left shoulder but he dodged it.

Lindworm: Behind you!

Mani tuned around and saw some Corrupted monsters with crossbows as they fired at the hero.

Kaori ran up to Mani and tackled him away while she slashed the arrows in half.

Mani: Thanks, but I could've handle them alone.
Kaori: No one touches you when I'm around.

Mani nodded as he smiled.

Fungheratops was battling some guards.

He grabbed one of them and used his mouth to suck all of his essence before letting him go.

The guard fell down as he was now pale and lifeless.

More guards fired arrows at Fungheratops who absorbed the shots like they were nothing.

The body began swallowing the arrows before spitting out acid slime at the guards which began melting the parts where they were hit.

Fungheratops roared as he then tackled a row of guards and then grabbed one of them and tossed them in air to which Jozef was hit and he fell down to the ground.

Fungheratops noticed Jozef on the ground.

Wings: Houtson, we have a problem.

Jozef saw Fungheratops who was slowly approaching the doctor.

Jozef: Stay back, I'm warning you.

Fungheratops stopped as he looked at the doctor.

Fungheratops: You're Corrupted like me, why are you fighting for the Pure monsters?
Jozef: I'm doing it cause I still have a heart and soul. They're my friends and are like a family to me.

Fungheratops tilted his head as his eyes glowed purple.

His mouth then opened widely to reveal another mouth with grassy sharp teeth.

Fungheratops: Aren't you tired of being overlooked? Aren't you tired of being unappreciated? Now is the time...

Jozef was silent at Fungheratops then slowly kneeled to be the same level as him.

Fungheratops: Join Corruption, join the Lord...
Jozef: Give me a reason why?
Wings: Without an explanation we ain't buying it bud.

Fungheratops blinked once.

Fungheratops: Look in my eyes, we offer unintelligible lies. Look deep inside, we bestow freedom to those who are tied.

His then was close to Jozef.

Fungheratops: Join us... Join us... Join us...

Fungheratops' voice echoed inside Jozef's head.

Jozef: No!

He then kicked Fungheratops' left foot as he then got up.

Jozef: I'll never join the Lord, I don't want innocent people to be enslave by him!
Wings: We're not for sale, we already got sold to Lindworm and we're going to be following him and him only.

Fungheratops looked at Jozef.

He was about to attack but suddenly Lady Meow appeared and stopped Fungheratops' attack.

Lady Meow: Jozef go and help out the others, I'll handle him!

Jozef nodded and he flew off.

Fungheratops: Why are you manipulating him, free his soul. He belongs to the Lord's army of Corruption.
Lady Meow: He may be Corrupted but I still sense kindness and dignity inside him, something none of you possess.

Fungheratops tried to swing another claw at Lady Meow but she used her sword to repel the attack.

Fungheratops: I will not stop until he joins the right side. He will see the light like how I did.

The scene changed to Mouseron who was blocking arrows from the guards.

Bea and Max saw him.

Max: Bea use your beetles to pierce through that shield of his.

Bea nodded and threw a super charged beetle at Mouseron's shield to which it knocked the mouse's defense.

Mouseron: What the-?!

He then got a kick from Max and was sent across the battlefield.

Neurofunk used his telekenesis to try and neutralize Mortis who was fighting Rudechaw.

Rudechaw pinned the vampire down and tried to bite him but Mortis kept moving his head left and right to avoid the teeth of the beaver.

Neurofunk: Hold him still Rudechaw, I have a 54% chance of killing him.

He used his telekenesis to grab a sword and raised it up in the air.

Neurofunk: The chances have increased to 79%.

He then lowered the sword quickly when Mortis shoved Rudechaw away.

The sword penetrated the vampire's chest as he yelled in pain.

Neurofunk: Success, while he is bleeding his movement speed will decrease by 9% every 10 second until he runs out of blood.

Mortis laughed at he got up and removed the sword from his chest, then his chest recovered quickly and the cut disappeared like nothing, shocking the mushroom.

Neurofunk: How are you-
Mortis: I'm a vampire, I'm immortal to death.
Neurofunk: What sort of trickery is this?!

Mortis then dashed to Neurofunk and used his elbow to knock the big head of the mushroom and he fell on his butt.

Mortis: For someone who's 10 times smarter Einstein, you can't even find the way to kill a vampire.

Rudechaw tried to pounce on him behind but Mortis grabbed the beaver's wrist and then launched him in the air to which he landed to the battlefield that occured on the west wall.

The scene changed to the south wall where the Terracotta army began attacking the guards who were lead by Kurai Kage.

Kurai: Today's a field day for me!

He rushed first out of the army as he then jumped and severed a guard's head with his sickle.

Kurai then threw his sickle at a another guard that penetrated his chest and he began bleeding from him mouth.

Kurai laughed but suddenly Crow swooped down from the wall and gave the ninja a thumbs up.

Crow: Hey you! Get outta here!
Kurai: Well it seems like tonight I'm about to have some chicken for dinner.

Crow threw his daggers to Kage who dodge them and then threw his sickles at the bird who ducked and then jumped in the air delivered a bicycle kick to the ninja.

The ninja held his nose while he smiled.

Royal Magus too came down and she casted a slow spell to the Terracotta army which slowed them down for a limited time.

She then turned around and saw the fight between Crow and Kurai.

Kurai stomped on the ground and then kicked some earth at Crow.

Royal Magus then used a shield spell to protect Crow.

Crow smiled as Kage's attacked was countered.

Crow then ran towards the ninja and fired a barrage of daggers.

Kage tried to deflect them with his sickles but some hit his shoulders and chest.

Kurai: You'll pay for that.

Then suddenly the slow spell wore off and the Terracotta army managed to fight off the guards.

Some Terracotta soldiers began attacking the wall.

Crow: Oh no we gotta stop them.

Kage smiled.

Kurai: Yes, it's all going well as we planned.

Crow and Royal Magus went to stop the soldiers while Kurai left the battlefield and approached Wangzhou.

Kurai smiled as he approached his Emperor who had his arms crossed.

Kurai: Most of the castle's defenses are down.
Wangzhou: Good and where are the guards?

Kage pointed behind the wall.

Kurai: I'd bet they're behind the wall.
Wangzhou: Then it's time for the final assault. You and Jaakuna Hi lead the Terracotta army to attack outside while I'll go inside.

He narrowed his eyes.

Wangzhou: I want to see the fear in guards' eyes personally...

He then walked pass Kurai who then went back into the battlefield.

The scene changed to the west wall where Rudechaw got up.

He saw Brock and Surge taking down Corrupted monsters on the battlefield while Kat-Herine supported them above.

Rudechaw got up and approached Dark-Er who was hiding behind a crate and fired his bombs at the heroes but failed to hit them.

Rudechaw: You're having a bad time too?
Dark-Er: I thought you were with Neurofunk back at the north wall?
Rudechaw: I was until that purified vampire chucked over here.

Dark-Er was surprised about Mortis throwing Rude to the other side of the castke.

Dark-Er: Damn, he must be packing a lot of muscles from devouring a ton of vitamins or something.

Then suddenly Gartox walked to them.

Gartox: I knew that you guys wouldn't do a good job on taking down the walls.
Rudechaw: We're trying our best Gartox.
Dark-Er: It's not like we need your help or anything.

Gartox crossrd his hands.

Gartox: Oh really, you said that you can take down the walls without my help and here we are.

He then pointed to Surge who straight up did an uppercut to Skelecktron and was sent to where the 3 Corrupted monsters were.

Gartox: Fine I'll do it myself.

He then charged towards the wall.

Dark-Er: Where are you going?!
Gartox: Finish what you bozos started.

Kat-Herine saw Gartox charging towards Brock and Surge.

Kat-Herine: Guys, look!

They saw the charging Gartox.

Brock: Dude he's like a bull charging straight at us.

Gartox growled as he was gaining speed.

Surge: We gotta stop him!

They fired their attacks to Gartox who took them damage but continued charging.

Kat-Herine decided to cast a spell on Gartox but suddenly Dark-Er threw a bomb to where the spell was gonna hit Gartox.

Gartox: I guess if you want something done right then do it yourself!

He then tackled both Brock and Surge and the 3 crashed through the wall as they were now inside the castle.

Brock and Surge were both on lying on the ground in pain.

Surge: Oww...
Brock: This fucker is too strong.

Gartox got up and growled.

Gartox: Now to find the relic!

Ferrata then appeared in front of him with her hammer.

Ferrata: Stop right there, you're going nowhere.
Gartox: Oh yeah, I'll pummel ya to the ground you dumb feline.

Ferrata spinned her hammer before motioning for Gartox to attack.

Ferrata: Then hit me with your best shot.

Gartox growled as he then began charging towards Ferrata.

The scene changed to Crow and Royal Magus who were fighting off the Terracotta warrior.

Crow: How many are there left?
Royal Magus: I don't know but we have to keep on fighting!

She then casted a spell that destroyed a warrior.

Crow then threw a flurry of daggers at Kage and some warriors but then Jaakuna Hi appeared in front of his allies and casted a spell to shield them as the daggers repelled.

Crow: Oh you gotta be shitting me!

The scene changed to Wangzhou who was inside the south wall as he managed to fight off all guards.

The bodies were scattered around as the Emperor of the Eastern Regions was standing tall

Then Equaleria appeared.

Equaleria: You! Get out of the castle, I'm warning you!
Wangzhou: And who do you think you are to warn the Emperor of the Eastern Regions about anything?
Equaleria: You may be an Emperor, but your not mine. I'll never bend the knee before Corruption!

Wangzhou smirked.

Wangzhou: You might not bend the knee but you will kiss the ground.

He then casted a ball of blue energy at Equaleria who then countered back with a white magical ray.

Wangzhou then moved as she continued to fire white energy rays at the Emperor.

Wangzhou then fired blue energy blasts at Equaleria which resulted in the female being blasted as she hit a  wall.

Wangzhou then grabbed her and then slammed her face on the ground to which the earth cracked.

Wangzhou then casted massive blue energy at another barrier as it fell down.

Wangzhou: Wall down, there's just one more barrier between us and the palace, then we shall leave...

He then clenched his fists.

Wangzhou: The Emperor's Room is waiting for me...

He then connected his brain with Jaakuna Hi's.

Wangzhou: Jaakuna Hi, retreat with the army and go back to the Eastern Regions, I shall join you shortly.
Jaakuna Hi: Yes my Emperor.

The 2 stopped communicating.

Jaakuna Hi: Retreat!

The army obeyed Jaakuna Hi as he along with Kage and the warriors began retreating.

Crow: Yeah you better run!
Royal Magus: That's not all, I can sense a presence that destroyed another barrier of the castle.
Crow: I'll go andcheck it out, you stay here and keep an eye if anyone of these Corrupted bastards come back.

He left.

The scene changed to Gartox who triedd to strike down Ferrata but she held her own against the swamp monster.

Brock and Surge got up and they saw Dark-Er and Rudechaw entering inside as well.

Dark-Er: Wow Gartox, you did a great job for us to get in.
Brock: We gotta stop them before they do something stupid.

Surge nodded as he then pulled out his saber.

Rudechaw: Dark-Er, in front of you!

Surge was flying directly at them but Rudechaw grabbed Surge and threw him outside and then followed him.

Dark-Er: Well I guess it's just you and me now.
Brock: You know what? Let's throw hands. Fight fair and square.
Dark-Er: Sounds like a challenge, I'm up for it!

He then raised his hands as he smiled.

Brock threw his rocket launcher away and too raised hands.

The two screamed as they began ran up to each other and began fighting with their fists.

Kat-Herine got down from the wall as she saw Surge fighting Rudechaw.

Kat-Herine: Surge do you need my assistance?

Surge dodged a punch from Rudechaw.

Surge: Nah I'm good dudette, but Ferrata needs help cause Gartox is gonna overpower her at any-

Rudechaw kicked Surge who then blocked the attack and then grabbed the foot and threw him across the battlefield and the hero robot yelled as he ran after the beaver.

Kat-Herine went inside the castle to see Brock and Dark-Er in a fist fight.

Brock ducked an uppercut from the Corrupted monster and he then fired a punched that hit Dark-Er, prompting him to have a nosebleed.

Dark-Er: You fight well boy.
Brock: Of course I do, my dad taught me how to fight!

Dark-Er smiled as he then went after Brock and the 2 continued fighting.

Kat-Herine then saw Ferrata quickly being overpowered by Gartox.

He then began pushing the hammer's pole outside her throat.

Gartox: Give up! You're out of your league pussy cat.

He cackled as he was then electrocuted.

He screamed until he then fell on the ground as the swamp monster was unconscious.

Ferrata turned to see Kat-Herine who casted a lightning spell at Gartox.

Kat-Herine: You okay?
Ferrata: Yeah, just need to catch my breath.

The scene changed to Crow who just saw Wangzhou destroyed another barrier.

Wangzhou turned around until he saw the bird/human hybrid.

Crow: Hey you! Get out of the castle, you're a disgrace to your own region!
Wangzhou: Shut up bird! I'm not here for the king, I've already breached through the inner walls. I'm leaving, mind your own business.

He then walked pass Crow who then threw a dagger behind Wangzhou's back, prompting for the Emperor to turn around as he saw Crow who had his arms crossed.

Crow: You come here just to bring destruction to these innocent people and then you want to be called "Emperor"? Wow, I've never met a bigger spineless jackass like you.

Wangzhou was then angered.

Wangzhou: I won't hear another word!

He then fired blue energy at Crow who then dodged the attack and fired more daggers at Wangzhou.

The Emperor caught them and then crushed them with his hands.

Crow then swooped and then landed a kick to Wangzhou's head causing the Emperor to stumble.

Crow fired more daggers at Wangzhou who swiped them off.

Wangzhou got up and smashed the ground causing blue energy to erupt from the ground and Crow quickly moved out of the way.

Crow: Wow your aiming is terrible, faggot!

Wangzhou growled in anger as he continued to fire blue energy at Crow who did acrobatic moves to dodge the blasts.

He then fired a dagger that hit Wangzhou's forehead and the Emperor screamed in pain and then he removed the dagger.

Wangzhou looked at the hero.

Wangzhou: I could crush you with a finger bird, but I won't waste anymore of my time here.

He then clenched his fist.

Wangzhou: I'm no longer in debt to the Lord, from now on he can fight his own wars!

He then turned around and left.

As he left, Crow flashed him a middle finger from behind.

Crow: Loser.

Royal Magus then approached Crow.

Crow: I took care of the problem, the jackass is running back to his throne of poop.
Royal Magus: Right.. I managed to scan the area and no threats are attacking the south wall anymore.
Crow: Alright then let's go and help out the others with their walls.

Then suddenly Valgar came into the scene.

Valgar: There you are, the king wants you in the throne room now.
Crow: What could he want, we just defended the south wall from the Terracotta army.
Valgar: I don't know but it must be important, so don't keep him waiting for long.
Royal Magus: Right, let's go Crow.

The scene changed to Lady Meow and the others who were fighting a horde of Corrupted monsters.

Lady Meow: Our defences won't keep them hold off for too long.

Max then turned to Lady Meow.

Max: I know, there are too many of them. I suggest we take the Lord's sword and hide it somewhere so they can't find it.

Kaori and Mani worked together to take out a group of 15 monsters.

Bea tackled 2 monsters on her own.

Mortis managed to level with Mouseron.

Lady Meow: Good idea but who do we give it too?
Jozef: I'll do it.

They turned to Jozef who offered to take the sword away.

Max: Are you sure Jozef?
Jozef: Of course I'm sure, I want to tell you guys that you can trust me despite the fact people say that I might be evil.
Wings: We're fighters and we don't serve some dumb Lord, our loyalty lies within Lindworm.
Lady Meow: Alright then, follow me.

Jozef followed Lady Meow to where she hid the sword.

Lady Meow: Here's the sword Jozef, just make sure you hide it somewhere safe.

Jozef nodded.

Jozef: Thank you for trusting me Lady Meow.
Wings: You mean us.
Jozef: Sorry.
Lady Meow: It's no problem, now go or we won't survive.

Jozef then flew away with the Lord's sword.

The scene changed to Crow and Royal Magus entering the throne room to see King Daeron standing there.

Crow: *Sarcastically* Your highness, you called us here, what do you need?
Daeron: The relic.
Crow: Yeah what about it?
Daeron: Bring me the relic.

Crow was confused.

Crow: Me and Magus don't know where it is.
Daeron: The relic, bring me the relic.

Crow turned to Royal Magus.

Crow: I don't think this is the king, can you use your magic eyes to see who it is?
Royal Magus: Hold on, my vision is blurry.
Crow: Hold on, I'll try something.

He then turned to Daeron.

Crow: King Daeron I'll sleep with your wife tonight, that is if you have one.
Royal Magus: Crow! That's disrespectful!
Crow: What? I couldn't think of something else.

Daeron was silent.

Daeron: The relic, bring me the relic.
Crow: It's not him alright.

He then pointed at the suspicious king.

Crow: We know you ain't the king, so reveal yourself.

Then suddenly King Daerom transformed into this.

Wormhole: THE RELIC! BRING ME THE RELIC!
Crow: Wow now this turned from 0 to a 100 real quick.
Royal Magus: That's Wormhole, one of the Lord's Corrupted servants.
Crow: I'm gonna kill him.

He then tried to tackle Wormhole but he quickly dodged the attack and was about to swallow Crow whole but Royal Magus casted a protection spell to Crow which protected the hero.

Wormhole tried to break the barrier but he couldn't.

Crow then broke the barrier himself and jumped ontop of Wormhole.

Crow: It's time to die!

He then pulled out one of his chains and wrapped it around Wormhole's neck and began strangling the Corrupted monster.

Wormhole tried to shake off Crow like a bull with a rodeo rider but he couldn't.

Wormhole began slowly fainting and he slowly began falling to the ground.

Wormhole then signalled a message to Neurofunk.

Wormhole: The relic... Is not here...

Wormhole lost his breath and died.

Neurofunk got the message.

Neurofunk: THE RELIC IS NOT HERE! RETREAT!

Then all of the monsters heard Neurofunk and they began retreating.

Rudechaw blocked an attack from Surge as he heard Neurofunk's call.

Rudechaw: Dark-Er! Gartox! Neurofunk said the relic isn't here. We have to go.

Rudechaw then ran away from Surge who was confused.

Surge: The relic isn't here?

Gartox got up and Dark-Er blocked an attack from Brock.

Dark-Er: I ain't got time for you kid.

He used his tentacles to throw Brock to Ferrata and Kat-Herine.

Dark-Er: So long bitches!

He and Gartox left.

Surge then entered inside.

Surge: Yo guys, the relic isn't here.
Ferrata: What do you mean it isn't here? Did someone steal it.
Kat-Herine: I don't think so, Neurofunk said that the relic isn't here and told the Corrupted monsters to retreat so I doubt that they have it.
Brock: I don't know but we will have to get to the bottom of this.

OK guys, this was chapter 8.

Peace out!
