Chapter Seven - War

As Millennium continued to besiege Bonesborough, the Major along with his lieutenants entered the Castle.As this happened, Emperor Belos sat in his throne, waiting for Millennium. Standing by his side was the Golden Guard, Kikimora and a squadron of Coven Guards. Soon enough, the Major and his lieutenants along with a squadron of Millennium Soldiers entered the throne room. 

Major: Guten Tag, Herr Belos! 

Kikimora: Stop right where you are, Monster! You stand before the Voice of the Titan! You shall pay dearly for your crimes!

Major: All's fair in love and war. But I digress. You know why I'm here, Belos. I've come for what you have stolen from us. 

Kikimora: This trespass cannot stand! GUARDS!

With that, Kikimora and her guards attacked the Major. The Millennium Soldiers wasted no time in wiping out most of the Coven Guards. When Kikimora attempted to attack the Major, but the Captain grabs Kikimora by the throat. He then throws her against a wall, knocking her out. The Major chuckles as he begins clapping. 

Major: My my, Wittebane. You've gone through a lot of trouble to keep me away. It's a pity it didn't amount to anything.

Belos: You had your chance, Major. I gave you the opportunity to share in the spoils of my victory. But you've squandered it.

Major: Bold words, Wittebane! After all, the foundations of your empire were built upon the aid that I have given you. If you truly think that you can best me now, then you haven't changed a bit.

Belos: The same can be said of you, Major. All these years later and you're still the same smug, arrogant little bastard looking down on me. Look at me now. I have become more powerful than you can possibly imagine!

As Belos said this, he got off his throne and gripped his staff. The Maor chuckled as he kept his eyes on Belos. 

Major: Very well, Wittebane. Show me.

Belos unleashes a blast of powerful magic from his mechanical staff, but Zorin Blitz blocks it with her scythe. Zorin then attacks Belos with her scythe while Rip Van Winkle fires her musket at Belos. The magic bullet hits Belos in the stomach, causing great pain. Despite this, Belos used several Glyphs to heal himself. The Major watched with glee as Belos battled his lieutenants. The Golden Guard was about to attack, but the surviving Coven Guard stopped him. 

Golden Guard: What are you doing?! 

Coven Guard: This...this is beyond us! We'd only get in the way....

Back in the fight, Rip Van Winkle fires another magic bullet at Belos. Belos summons a protective barrier to protect himself. Belos retaliates by summoning sharp spikes of rock up from the ground to attack both Rip Van Winkle and Zorin Blitz. It was at this moment that the Captain began firing his Modified Mauser pistol at Belos. Belos then summons a large beast to attack the Millennium lieutenants. The Captain then transforms into a monstrous wolf and easily mauls the beast. It was in that moment that Belos felt something that he had not felt in decades: fear. Despite this, Belos stood his ground. At the same time, the Doctor prepares a record player. And begins playing Shubert's The Trout. 

Major: Thank you, Herr Doctor. 

As the music plays, it echoes across the halls of the throne room. The Major began to sing as he watched Belos battling his lieutenants. He got up from his chair and began swaying across the room to the rhythm of the music. He then moves his hands in a way as if he was conducting the battle. Back in the fight, Belos found himself slowly overwhelmed by the Millennium lieutenants. Belos then uses his Flesh Magic to attack the Millennium lieutenants with fleshy tendrils. He wraps them around the  and attempts to tear them apart. This quickly fails as the Captain breaks free from the tendrils and attacks Belos, forcing him to release his grip on the other lieutenants. As the Millennium lieutenants swarmed him, Belos began to falter as his own power began to fail him. He turned his attention to the Major who continued to smile.

Belos: (You arrogant bastard! You dare mock me?!)

Belos then unleashes a powerful blast of magic which blasts the Millennium lieutenants back. Left with no other choice, the Emperor fled to the Relic Room where the Corpse of Mina Harker was kept. The Golden Guard and the surviving Coven Guard followed Belos into the Relic Room. As Belos was fleeing, the Major began to clap. 

Major: Very good! Very good! An exquisite performance! This is everything I could ever dream of! Oh how I have longed for this feeling! The feeling of battle, war and bloodshed! You have outdone yourself this time, Herr Doctor! With only a fraction of our forces, we were able to swarm an unknown world and bring it to it's knees! 

Doctor: Thank you, Herr Major! I am glad that my experiments live up to your expectations. 

Major: But now all that is left is to finish our business with Wittebane. As much as I would love to keep this war going, we can't overindulge for too long. After all, our beloved war awaits us! And we have much to prepare for. 

With that, the Major and the Millennium lieutenants followed Belos into the Relic Room to reclaim the Corpse of Mina Harker. In that moment, the war between Millennium and Emperor Belos was about to reach it's climax.
