*Probably a lot of bad grammar everywhere, also swear words either ** or turned to like Funking and such because I copied and pasted from a site that had such censored*
Summary:In the kingdom of Therus 3 friends make a pack to stay friends and protect each other no matter what.Later in life one of the friends becomes a princess and is kidnap by a evil prince and the two kingdoms go to War.Zach and Nick fight to keep the Pact.
Chapter 1: The Pact of 3 Friends
“Hey guys.” Sara said as she came running towards them in her nice pink dress. Zach turned to see Sara running towards him and Nick. “Hey, I see you snuck out of the castle to hang with us again.” Nick said as he held a wooden sword.
“I told you two already, you guys are my best friends and I'd sneak out a million times more just to hang with you two.” She said with a smile as she picked up a wooden bow.
“But isn't kinda weird, your the princess and instead of playing with the rich people you come down her and play with us peasants.” Nick said with a weird look on his face.
“Dude shut up she already said were best friends so it doesn't matter.” Zach said holding his wooden shield.
“Yeah best friends for ever.” Sara said smiling happily.
“Hey guys let's make a pack to stay friends forever and protect each other no matter what.” Zach said with a grin as he put his hand out.
“Alright.” Nick and Sara said putting there hands in as well. “Friends forever.” they said as they raised their hands in the air.
“Dude wake the hell up.” Nick said punching Zach in the arm trying to wake him up.
“I'm up, I'm up.” Zach said getting up whipping the sleep from his eyes. It had been 12 years since they made that packed and Nick and him had joined the army to become knights so they could protect Sara who had become the princess. “Dude come on were going to be late for the quest King Tridon wants us to go on.” Nick said putting his red blade in its sleeve. Nick was a slim built kid who had fiery red hair and a since that he would only talk to people when spoken to. A complete opposite of Zach who was a loud mouth who talked a lot and was normal in size.
As they walked towards the castle Sara waved from her balcony. Zach waved back and was about to shout something when nick pushed him into the castle door. “Hey what the hell man.” Zach said as he looked a Nick.
“Dude we have no time for chit chat, were going to be late and i don't think you wanna miss this quest.” Nick said as they were lead to the throne room by a young servant named Lindzee. As they enter the room the saw King Tridon siting in his throne a bit pale but still powerful looking. Zach and Nick bowed as Sara ran into the room with her best girlfriend Becky.
Zach waved but was then hit in the side by Nick. Nick didn't want to screw his chance of getting closer to Sara who he secretly loved. “You may raise.” The king said as he sat looking at them. “Your quest is to go slay a dragon who lives in a cave in Mt. Recher.” He said with a stern voice. Nick and Zach knelled one more time and then left to go prepare.
“What the hell is your problem man.” Zach said turning Nick around to face him.
“I'm just trying to stop you from screwing are chances up.” Nick said walking off to get ready. Zach followed and began to put his chain mail and the rest of his gear on. Zach pulled his long sword out checking to make sure it wasn't cracked as he shined his shield. Nick sat impatiently waiting for Zach as he had been ready since the morning.
“Alright lets do this.” Zach said as he got up. “About dam time.” Nick said as they were about to leave. “Hey wait!” a girl said making Nick and Zach turn. As they turned they saw Becky running with a bag in her hand. “Sara wants you guys to have these.” She said smiling as she took off towards the castle. Zach picked up the bag and opened it to find two pendants with a part of a triangle at the bottom each with a letter on them and a note. The note read You boys be safe,these pendants are for are friendship when they are all together they complete a triangle. Now be careful and come back – sincerely, Sara. Nick put the note in his pocket as he puled a pendant out with a N on it. “this is tight as hell!” Zach said already wearing his with a Z on it. Nick and Zach then left the town to embark on their quest.
Chapter 2: The Quest
As Zach and Nick walked through the plain son their way to the mountain that the dragon they had to slay lived in they felt they were being followed. As they walked Zach couldn't get that someone was watching them out of his head. “Hey you know someones following us right?” Zach asked whispering to Nick. Nick looked at him,”It's just a servant making sure we do the quest.” he said as he kept walking.
After the plains came a dark misty forest which had been known to have people come in and never come out. “Uh do we have to go in there.” Zach said frightened a bit. “Yes, it's the only way to the mountain.” Nick said walking into the woods that kept most of the light from the sun out. Zach sighed and walked into the dark wood and kept with Nick not waned to get lost. After a few hours of walking they had made half way through the forest and decided to make camp for the night.
Nick sat and read the note that was given to them earlier that days as Zach began to rub two sticks together to make fire. “Hey give me this.” Zach said as he snatched the note out of Nick's hand and set it on fire using the sticks. “You bastard!” Nick said pushing him over. “What the hell dude! It was just a Funking note.” Zach said pissed off from being shoved. “Leave me alone.” Nick said as he walked off into the forest. Zach sighed as he watched him walk away.
Hours past and Nick hadn't come back yet, Zach had thought he'd be back by now and he could of apologized for burning the note but Nick hadn't come back. As he waited he spotted the servant who was following them. “Hey you can come out i know your there.” Zach said as he tossed a rock at the person hiding and hit them. “Ow!” a female voice said as a young girl maybe two years younger than him came out from behind the bushes. “Why did you throw a rock at me?” She asked rubbing her head. “Why not throw a rock at your head.” Zach said being a smart ass.
“So whats your name and who sent you.” Zach said a she pulled his sword out for fun. “My names Lindsey, and I am a servant of king Taylor and his family and was sent to make sure you slay the dragon.” she said with a smile. Zach just looked at her stupidly, and then got up. “Well you stay here i gotta go find Nick.” He said picking his shield up and walking off into the forest in Nick's direction.
Nick sat under a tree as he was pissed and was trying to calm down. “That idiot he destroyed the only thing I had of Sara's.” He thought as he made a fist with his hand.”I know he likes her but hes my friend and should know i like her too and he should just back off.” Thought as he stood up and faced a tree. “But it doesn't matter she probably likes him more, I'm silent and don't talk much but I'm more polite then him.”he thought as he settled his head on the tree depressed and confused.
“Hey cry baby.” a voice said behind Nick. Nick spun around tow see tow bandits with swords looking a him. “That's some pretty nice gear you got there.” a fat one said holding a mace. “Too bad for you its ours now.” another guy that seemed to be the leader said with a grin. Nick grinned a bit as his anger was boiling up inside. “Try and take you worthless scum.” Nick said as he drew his swords.
“Have it your way.” The leader said as two more guys jumped out behind Nick. Nick had been surrounded but didn't care, at least if he died no one would care. “You sure you wanna do it this way?” The leader asked giving Nick one last chance. Nick grinned and turned and threw a knife at the leader hitting him in he shoulder. “Ahh! You bastard!, Kill him!” He said pulling the dagger out of his shoulder. As the men charged at Nick he let a fearful raging yell and began slicing and dicing the guys.
Nick swung his swords in all directions hitting and slicing open the bandits. They let out painful screams as Nick killed them. Nick stopped yelling and slicing as he faced the last survivor who was the leader. Nick breathed hard trying to catch his breath as the lead pulled out tow axes. “Time to di...” He said but before he could finish his sentence Nick had both his swords in his stomach. “ See you in hell!” Nick said pulling his swords out horizontally slicing the man in two.
Zach ran as he heard screams and then Nick. When Zach arrived he saw four men on the ground dead and Nick standing covered in blood standing over them. “Dude...” Zach said amazed as he watched Nick collapse.
Chapter 3: Draco Mancer
As Nick woke up he saw Zach hovering over him. “About time you woke up.” Zach said handing him a bowl with soup in it. Nick sat up and looked at the soup and then felt his stomach grow so he didn't hesitate to dig in. “Man are little four day quest is gonna be an extra two days since you got wounded and were out for two days.” Zach said tossing wood in the fire.
Nick stopped eating and looked at his side which was bandaged. “How the hell, i wasn't touched by those bastards.” nick said looking at the wound. “No you were, you just didn't realize it all because you were running on adrenaline and rage.” Zach said as he sat looking at the fire. Nick sat their admiring the bandage it wells well wrapped and defiantly wasn't Zach's work. “Who patched me up?” Nick asked curious as he began to eat his soup again. “Oh that was Lindsey she was sent to follow us, shes a pretty good medic.” Zach said with a smile.
“Oh, were is she now?” Nick asked. “Um she said she was going back to the kingdom to tell them that our quest is going to be longer than expected.” Zach said as he got up and grabbed his weapons. Nick got up and grabbed his weapons fighting the slight pain in his side. “Let's get this quest over with.” Nick said as the started walking for the exit of the forest.
As they exited the forest they came to a large rocky mountain with a flat area at the middle.”Well here it is, let's get a climbing.” Zach said as he put his shield on his back and began to climb with Nick right behind him.
“Sara Prince Ted of Remmes has arrived.” King Taylor said as he walked past her room. Sara didn't like Ted but she knew her friend Becky did so she allowed him to come over. Ted walked in in a prince outfit and a cape as he walked over to Sara knelt down./ “Sara i must ask you to marry me, so our family's can rule over everyone.” he said as he held her hand. Becky watched from the side with half mad smile on. “I'm sorry Ted i just don't like you like that now i know Becky here likes you so why don't you ask her.” Sara said as she pulled her hand away.
Ted stood up and had a pissed off look on his face as he walked out of the room. As Ted left Becky got and idea and quickly ran to Ted. “Wait,I have a plan.” she said as Ted turned to face her. “I know you like me and you know i like you, and you cant marry me if I'm not a princes right?” Becky said with a grin.”Right..” Ted said having no clue were this was going. “Well if you kidnap Sara with out anyone finding out, and if shes gone for to long i become princess and you can marry me and we can rule together.” Becky said as a wide evil grin came upon Ted's face. “Now get going.” Becky said kissing Te don the lips and running back to Sara.
“Come one your almost there.” Zach said as he watched Nick climb to were he was. Zach lowered his hand and helped Nick up. When they were both on top of the flat area they saw a dark cave with bones near it. “There she is.” Zach said pulling his sword and shield out. Zach and Nick walked into the cave to see a sleeping dragon. “Alright I'm going to cut its head off so be very quite so it don't wake up.” Zach said as he got closer. As Nick watched him get closer he felt sorrow for the dragon so he threw a rock at the side of the wall sending a ringing noise through the cave.
Zach stopped when he heard the noise. He turned to Nick. “What the hell dude!” Zach said pissed off. “Sorry my bad.” Nick said as he watched Zach. Zach turned around to see the dragon wide awake and pissed off staring him down. “Aw Funk!” Zach said as he put his shield up and was blasted with fire. Zach ran towards the dragon with his shield in front of him but was pushed back by the heat of the fire. “This isn't working were screwed.” Zach said sweating trying to catch his breath.
“Let me talk to it.” Nick said as he grabbed Zach's shield. “Wait what your going to talk to it, i have to see this, Hey Mr. Dragon can we kill you.” Zach joked as he watched Nick. Nick walked up to the dragon and started speaking in a weird language calming the dragon. “Oh my god.” Zach said shocked. Nick walked back to Zach and grinned. “Your a f*cking Dracomancer.” Zach said surprised. “Yeah but you can't tell anyone , people fear dracomancers.” Nick said with a smile.”You got my word, but you know were pretty lucky that Lindsey chick left or she'd be blabbing to the king about you being a dracomancer and us not killing the dragon.” Zach said as they began their quest back home.
Lindsey watched as they walked out of the cave but she noticed the dragon was still alive. “Busted” she said as she got on her horse and rode to go tell the king.
Chapter 4: Busted
As Lindsey entered the castle she was greeted by the king.“Did they succeed in their quest?” He asked as Lindsey knelt. “No my lord they did not slay the dragon, they are on their way home as we speak.” She said still kneeling. Taylor's face became pitch red in anger, they had defied him and they have the nerve to show themselves here, he thought as he walked away.
When nick and Zach arrived at the kingdom they were immediately swarmed by knights and guards.”Hey guys what the hell is all this?” Zach asked as they stripped him of his weapons. Nick stood there as they dis armed him as well. “That servant snitched on us were Fucked.” Nick said as they were escorted into the castle.
Taylor sat in his thrown with Sara right beside him as they were brought in front of him.” You defied me, now you must be killed!” He yelled with furious tone. Sara was shocked by what her father was saying. “No Wait! Please don't kill them they are my friends please.” Sara said with tears in her eyes. Taylor was a stubborn king but when his daughter cried he gave in.
Chapter 5: To WAR
The next morning Zach and Nick were awaken by loud trumpets. Nick jumped up and quickly got dressed as Zach was still in his bed snoring. “Wake up you idiot.” Nick said smacking his back hard. Zach jumped up and then fell back on his bed. “It's to dam early.” Zach moaned as Nick began tossing his equipment on him. “If you don't get up you'll get 30 lashes.” Nick said walking out of there small tent.
As Zach laid there he then realized how bad 30 lashes would hurt. “OH shit!” Zach said getting up and quickly getting dressed and running to the training area. As he arrived he was just in time, he lined up right next to Nick and waited. “Solders! This is our kingdom! We will not let it fall were control the life and death of this place!You fail this kingdom fails, so failing is not an option!” The commander yelled walking back and forth. “We are not the strongest nor biggest army, But we shall not be conquered because we have heart!,No surrender,retreat, we die fighting for our kingdom is that clear!” He yelled. “Howrah!!Howrah! Howrah!” They all replied.
“Now get your sorry ass to work.!” The commander yelled as the solders except for Zach started drills. Zach walked up to the commander and stared him in the eyes for a second. “Do you have a problem solider!” He snapped. “No,no problem I just think I know you from somewhere, whats your name?” Zach said looking at him. “I'm Commander Cid Trex!” He yelled as he shoved Zach. “Hey asshole don't shove em!” Zach said pulling his sword out.
Nick stopped from his drills and turned to see all the commotion. He saw Zach with his sword out staring a the commander who was about to drawl his sword. “Funk, why is he always getting into trouble.” Nick said watching to see what was going to happen.”Do you wanna die boy.” Cid said drawling his sword. As soon as Cid said those words he felt a pain across his chest. Zach smiled as he saw blood on his sword. “Boy, I'm no boy I'm your worst Funking nightmare!” Zach said swinging at him again.
Cid instinct fully blocked it and pushed Zach back using his power. Cid swung his left fist at Zach trying to throw him off balance. Zach smiled and put his shield up and listened to the bones crack in Cid's hand. “Raa!” Cid screamed out in pain as he swung powerfully knocking Zach off balance. Zach stumbled and fell to he ground. Cid put his blade to Zach throat. “Pathetic you must be slain.” Cid said raising his sword. As the sword sung down it was stopped by two blades. “He he, have to kill someone when there on the ground, how pathetic.” Nick said blocking the blade.
“What the hell is going on!” Yelled out a voice. Nick stopped blocking and Cid turned and faced Taylor who was standing there watching. Zach,Nick 30 lashes each now!” Taylor yelled out mad as hell as they wear taken to the town square for their lashes. “As for you Cid get back to work!” Taylor said as Cid nodded and went back to command. Zach and Nick showed no signs of pain as they were whipped. After their lashes Taylor came up to them. “You will follow your orders given to you nor next time it'll be death.” He said walking back to the castle.
“Pansy ass bitch.” Zach mumbled as he put his stuff back on. Zach and Nick went back to training. Later they went for a walk around the castle. Zach and Nick both stopped right before the hallway to Sara's room,when they heard three people talking. “no let me go!!” Sara yelled as Ted tied her arms and legs and put her over his shoulder. “Let me go!” she yelled trying to get free. Ted set her down and punched her in the face knocking her out. He then continued to take her away. “Stop right there!” Yelled a girl. Zach and Nick looked it was the snitch Lindsey.
Ted turned and looked at her. “ha your going to stop me how?” Ted said with a laugh. Lindsey leaped at him and stabbed him in the arm with a dagger.”Ah! Little whore!” Ted said pulling his blade out and jabbing it into Lindsey and then puling it out. The girl fell to her knees and began to bleed as Ted made his escape. “Funk we gotta save her!” Zach said about to run after him but was stopped by Nick. “If we kill him we go to war with the most powerful kingdom.” nick said as thy watched Ted until he was out of sight.
Zach and Nick hen ran up to the girl who was stabbed. Nick checked her breathing and pulse.”shes...dead.” Nick said as he heard footsteps. Zach turned and saw Becky,Taylor and Cid running towards them. Before Taylor could utter a word Zach blurted out “ Sara's been kidnapped by Prince Ted of Remmes.” Taylor stopped and sadness went into his eyes. “Sir we promise we shall rescue her.” Nick said looking at him. “To WAR!” Taylor screamed out into the castle. Becky and Cid both looked at him. “Are you mad they are the most powerful kingdom alive.” they both said with a crazed look.
“I don't care they took the only thing I cared about!”, Becky you will take over princess duties, Cid take these two soldiers and prepare the army for war.” He said as he walked away. “You heard him, to war!” Cid said as Zach and nick stood and followed him to the barracks. As everyone left Becky smiled and went to her room.
Chapter 6: First Battle
Cid busted into the barracks scaring the shit out of the soldiers. “Ten hut you worthless bastards were going to war!.” Cid said with a smile on his face. The young men began to whimper and coward in fear, never thinking they would actually go to war. The older solders packed there bags and smiled finally getting a chance o show their power. Zach walked over to his station and grabbed his armor and weapons. Before he ran out of the tent he pulled a cloth out of his pocket and pulled out the necklace given to him, he placed it around his neck and took off.
Nick walked in confident that the war will be over fast with his skills and Zach's power. Nick grabbed his gear already wearing the necklace Sara had given them. Cid stood in front of the men as Nick ran up and got in line. “Now that were all here i can give you the information on this war.” Cid said as he wrapped his hand. “The princess has been kidnapped by Prince Ted of Remmes and that is who are enemy is and why we are going to war.” Cid said with a smirk.
Men began to panic, Remmes was the most powerful kingdom in the land,their soldiers were highly skilled and powerful non the less. “Quit your whinnying you Funking pansies!” Zach said as he stood out in front of the men while Cid had his back turned. “Yeah,Yeah there strong and skilled but we got heart and courage,yeah were out number but we will fight until the bloody end, we wont give up and never will we will fight to the end of the world.” Zach said as he raised his sword. The men stood there for a minute taking in what he had just said. “Hell ya!” Cid said turning around raising his sword in the air. The army cheered and began there march towards Remmes.
“Father I retrieved the girl.” Ted said as he knelt down to a turned chair. “Good my son know we shall crush those blundering fools.” the man in the chair said with a evil tone. Ted then walked away and down to the dungeon cells were he had Sara held. “You ugly bastard!” Sara yelled as she spit at Ted. “I won't marry you.” “I don't want you, Becky shall be my queen.” Ted said with a smirk. “She'll never do that after she finds out you kidnapped me you jerk.” Sara said sitting down on the bed in the cell.
“Hahaha, you dimwitted bitch,Becky is the one who planned this whole thing,with you gone she becomes queen and we shall marry after my father empire crushes yours,and i will become King and she shall be my queen.” Ted said as he began to walk away with a smile. Sara sat in the cell in disbelief that her best friend would betray her. She began to weep as she held the part of the friendship necklace hoping and prayer her two loyal friends will come and save her from this evil place.
The men marched through the heat and sandstorms on there way to Remmes. The two kingdoms were separated by a desert,forest and mountain. As the army reached a small town of Werthra they found dead bodies and the Remmes royal flag on top of a building. “Welcome!” A dark figure said standing next to the flag. The man was in dark purple armor and had the Remmes symbol on his armor. “Prepare yourselves, thats a general.” Cid said as the men readied their weapons.
“Ha! That many men will be crushed by my small unit.” the man said with a grin as he whistled and his troops came out of hiding. They had around 100,000 men while this little troop had around 1,00. “Charge.” Said the man in a calm voice as thy rushed towards Cid and his army. Zach braced himself as he drew his sword and shield. Nick stood there with a grin and both blades out and by his side. “Hold!!” Cid ordered as the men pulled shields out and began to block.
As the army's collided dust whipped in the air.”Push!” Cid said as they barley pushed back the Remmes army. After the push Cid ordered an all out assault. Swords,axes,shields,spears and pikes all collided with each other as arrows cover the skies. Nick began slices solders in two with ease. Zach fought blocking every attack thrown at him as he watched other soldiers get hacked apart by the enemy. “Medic!!” Zach yelled as a young medic ran over to a wounded soldier as Zach protected her.
Cid began ramming people with his shield and hacking the enemy apart. off. The battle began to intensify as arrows began to fly even more. Arrows came crashing down upon the army slaughtering men by the hundreds. “Funk!” Zach yelled out in pain as 3 arrows were lodged in him.,two in his left arm one in his right leg. “Shit Zach,Medic!” Nick yelled out as he helped Zach to his feet and continued to fight as the young medic came back and tried to take Zach away. “Get your hands off me.” Zach said pushing her away as he hacked apart an enemy.
The medic becked off with a smile knowing he would survive and went to help the others. After hours of battling they had finally became victorious but with many casualties. Cid sat in his tent counting up the dead, as Nick sat with Zach in the medical tent. “Okay all better.” Said the medic with a smile looking at Zach. Before she walked away Zach tapped her on the shoulder. “So um thanks and what might your name be?” Zach said blushing a bit while Nick owed in the back. “My name is Rachel Flynn second in charge medic and over there is the head medic Lei,she wishes she could be a soldier.” Rachel said with a smile. “Well nice meeting you..oh and my names Zach.” He said as she smiled and walked over to the next patient.
“You pimp.” Nick said as Zach came back. “Shut up dude i just wanted to know the name of the person who helped me get back on the battlefield.” Zach said as Nick gave him the sure.. look.”Well I'm going to see the causality report Nick said heading towards Cid's tent. Zach hoped off the bed and went to talk to Cid along with Nick. “So how many we got left?” Nick asked as Cid turned and gave them a Funk were boned look. “We lost 2,00 men, that means each of the enemy's soldiers killed 2 of our men.” Cid said as he walked out to make sure the men were training. “Shit were screwed.” Nick said sitting down. “Hey man, we got hope and Sara's counting on us.” Zach said as he left the tent.
Nick sat in the tent thinking of what Zach had just said. “it doesn't matter even if we saved her she'd still like him more.” Nick said as he sighed a bit.”But non the less we do have to save her,i made a promise and I'm gong to keep it even if it kills me.” Nick said as he grabbed his weapons to train so he could make sure he didn't fail.
Chapter 7: 5 Messangers
As the army gathered their gear to head forward 5 horseman were spotted coming there way.”Archers ready your arrows.”Blane the archer commander who had precise accuracy ordered as the horseman got closer. As the men got closer the flag of Remmes was seen on their armor. The men stopped just out of range of the archers. One got off h his horse and began walking towards the army. Blane released an arrow and dropped the man nailing him in the head.
The four others began to freak out.”Hold your fire we are messengers not soldiers.” One said in pure fear. “Lower your arrows, you too Blane.” Cid ordered as the four men got closer. “We are here to tell you if you advance any farther on Remmes land we will come at you full force.” a messenger said reading a scroll. “You expect me and my men to obey your orders you must be stupid!” Cid said stabbing a sword inside the messenger.
“We don't want any more conflict!” another messenger yelled as Cid got closer to them.”Your princess will be executed in 2 weeks!” said another messenger who was jumping on his horse. Cid and 5 other men grabbed the two messengers who were trying to flee and hacked them to pieces. Blane aimed carefully with three arrows at the last messenger who was riding on the horse. Blane released and nailed the messenger with all three arrows.
Ted watched as his fathers plan unfolded. He rode off after seeing the last messenger trying to escape die. As he entered the castle he quickly ran to the throne room to tell his father the good news. “Father they are heading straight for the trap,they took the bait.” Ted said kneeling as the throne spun to face him. Russell sat with a case on his legs with a grin.”Good, maybe I'll finally get to use my force Edge on a true opponent” Russell said as he opened the case to reveal the force edge. “That is only if they get pass the catapults and our army father.” Ted said with a smirk. “That is true now run along and make sure things stay a plan.” Russell said turning back around in his throne.
“No man or women returns to the king and tells him this news, you understand me!” Cid said as he walked back in forth at were they sat up camp. Nick and Zach sat with gloomy faces. “There...they..but.. we can't save her its to short of time.” Zach said stressed out. “Don't say such things, god may not be on our said and i may not give a dam it I lose my life in this battle, but i will not let them kill her, and i need you to have my back so get up quit moping and let's go save her.” Nick said as he got up and headed over to Cid to tell him they should start marching now.
Zach sat there looking at the necklace that Sara had giving him. He clenched the necklace and grabbed his gear and headed over to Nick. Cid had an angry face on as Nick walked up to him. “Sir we must head out now so Sara shall not get executed.” Nick said as Zach walked up with his gear on. “Alright, get everyone ready.” Cid said as he went to prepare to head out. As everyone got ready Zach ran into the medic bunker to warn he medics. As he walked in he saw a women fencing with a sword. “Dam your good.” Zach said as the women dropped the blade and had a scared look on her face.
“I'm sorry ill get back to work.” She said frightened. “Don't worry i won't tell your a good solider to bad your a girl.” Zach said looking at her trying to rembered were he had seen her before. “Whats that supposed to mean. “ Rachel said coming up from behind. “Um nothing it's just that if she were a man she could be a solider.” Zach said turning to Rachel . “Lei is the head medic, she doesn't have time for fighting she has to heal people.” Rachel said walking over to Lei. “Oh yeah know remember you!” Zach said as he suddenly rembered why he was there. “OH were heading out you need tog et ready.. “ he said as he stood there. “Okay now get out we have to change.” Rachel said shutting a blind on him. Zach ran out to warn everyone else with a slight disappointment.
Nick sat with Blane and the archers as they were already to leave. “Don't worry kid we got this war, they may be bigger but we have more skill. “ Blane said trying to cheer him up, Nick just sat there looking up at the sky. Zach ran up and stood in line by Nick. Blane got up and walked over to Cid and began talking to him and then pointing at Nick and Zach. “Shit what we do now!” Zach thought has Cid walked over with Blane. “Elites get up front were you belong.” Cid said looking at them. “you mean us?” Nick said snapping out of his daze.”Yes you were leaving in 5 minutes now get up there.” Cid said as They got up and walked to the front. As they passed Blane Nick gave him a thank you look.
Chapter 8: Unknown Soilder
As they marched closer and closer to Remmes the heat and the wind began to rise and kick up.”God dam its hot.” Zach said as he put his shield over his head for shade. Nick payed no attention to him and continued to march. “Stop!” Blane called out as they halted with nothing in front of them.”Blane whats wrong?” Cid said as he looked and saw nothing ahead of them. Blane just studied the land keeping an eye on every little movement.
“Send a small troop forward.” Blane said as he stood confident something was wrong. Cid ordered Lei and 12 men to move ahead. As they grew farther away they stopped and turned to face the army.”Nothing s...” Before the solider could finish his throat was sliced. “Shit!” Yelled another solider as 10 more enemy men popped out of the sand and stabbing the small group. “Solders attack!” Cid ordered ready to destroy the enemy. “Halt!” Blane ordered as a catapult came crushing down on the small group of soldiers. Cid stopped his charge and starred in disbelief. If Blane wouldn't of ordered the halt they could have been crushed. “What the hell!” Zach yelled as he ran out into the dust of were the group was. “Shit!” Nick said as he ran after him. Cid turned and saw them run into the dust. As the dust cleared three people stood holding their weapons facing the enemy army. Cid watched as the there stood there fearless. “Nick?”
“Yeah?”
“Ready for this shit.”
“Oh hell yeah, what about you?”
“Couldn't of waited another day.” Zach said as the three drew there weapons. “Nick,Zach what are the casualties of the group.” hollered Cid as the enemy didn't make a move. “Everyone including the medic is dead besides this lone solider here.” Zach said as he began to sweat from the heat. Rachel over heard the report and began to burst into tears. Her commander in the medic field was dead, and now she had to take on full responsibility. Three solders calmed here down and she regained her normal state.
The enemy me armor stood watching them until there commander a big heavy armored man wielding a battle ax yelled out charge. “I'll see you in hell my friend.” Zach said as he lowered his shield and gripped his blade in his hand. “I wouldn't want it any other way man.” Nick said pulling his blades out. The lone solider stood with the two as the army inched closer. Showing no signs of emotion. Cid looked as the army charged towards the three. “Theres no way we can save them unless they hold that army off for at least 4 minutes.” Cid said holding his blade. “Don't under estimate those tow, they fight not for the win but for friendship, and that will guide them through this battle.” Blane said calmly.
As the army got right to them Zach rammed the men with his shield pushing a small bit back as he cut and sliced away at there lower body. Nick stabbed and cut away blocking swords and kicking men off his blades. The lone solider was slaughtering any man who came his way. Cutting high low and every with precise skill and agility. “Who the Funk is this person?” Zach said as he began thrusting his sword into his opponent. “I don;t know but hes got skill.” Nick said stabbing his blades into a man with his back turned. Nick spun around and block four swords coming straight for him.
As he pushed the blades away from him a spear stabbed and entered into his leg. “ Funk!” Nick yelled out in pain as he broke the spear off and began to hack away at the enemy.”Ah Funk thats gotta hurt you okay.?” Zach asked still fighting. Nick said nothing but Zach could tell by his face he was in pain and anger. As the army finally arrived behind them they began to push the enemy back. “About god dam time you bastards.” Zach said pissed off and covered in blood. Cid just laughed and began killing men.
“Spread!” Blane ordered as a giant catapult shot came crashing down on the army. Blane rolled to the left dodging the giant rock. “Archers blacken the sky!” He ordered as he pulled his bow out and they released thousand of arrows, each man releasing 3 at a time. As the arrows began to crush the enemy's line they charged forward towards the 3 catapults. As men were being crushed by catapults Rachel tried her best to save as many men as she could, but was having no luck. The enemy began to retreat back by the catapults but not going any farther.”Men were close enough not to be hit by those dam catapult so I want a full sprint to the enemy and I want no one left alive.” Cid said as they began to charge.
As they charged the enemy commander began to laugh. Zach stopped in fear as a giant arrow came flying at him. He lowered his shield to take the the force. As the arrow hit it shattered on his shield launching him 20 ft back. “Ah Funk!” Zach said holding his arm in pain. Rachel ran over to him with a small medical kit. “Whats wrong?” she asked looking at him. “ I don't know I'm no Funking medic.” He said in pain. Rachel moved his hand and saw his arm was dislocated. “Ah jeez this is gonna hurt a bit.” Rachel said grabbing his arm. With a quick powerful motion Zach arm made one cracking noise and was back in place. As he got up he shacked his arm getting feeling back into. “Thanks now i gotta war to fight.” he said as he picked his shield up and ran back to the front.
Rachel smiled glad she could help someone but still hurting inside from her superiors death. Nick jumo to the side dodging a balista shot but slicing it down as it went by. “Is this all you got!” Nick said in rage hacking away making men retreat in fear. The unknown solider stood in front of the enemy commander staring him down. “no man can defeat me!” He said a she charged at him. With one motion the solider jumped and stabbed him in the throat. The commander was in shock. “Impossible...” He said as he watched the solider remove his helmet. As the solider pulled the helmet off he waved his long black hair. “You no man your a woman.” he said in shock. “Thats right.” she said as the rest of the enemy army was slaughtered.
“Lei!” Rachel said running over seeing her standing above the dead commander. Lei embraced Rachel in a hug but the joy was soon killed by a anger roar. “How dare you disgrace that army, taking another mans armor and posing at him, and being a women.” Cid said smacking her and knocking her tot he ground. The rest of the men stood in silence as Cid went off. “you are a disgrace”
“But..I.”
“not another word, gather your stuff and get back to the kingdom were I will deal with you personally.” Cid said as he ordered everyone else to set up camp. Blane could see the hatred and rage i n her eyes as she watched Cid walk away with tears in her eyes. Zach and Nick sighed as they turned and head to set up camp with the others.
Rachel stayed with Lei for a few minutes. “I'm sorry that you have to leave and that you were treated wrongly.” Rachel said hugging her as she gather her things. “It's okay I was out of line, I guess trickery deserves to get sent home.” Lei said with tears in her eyes. “You take care.” Rachel said to her as Lei began her journey back to the kingdom.
Chapter 9: Emotions
“Alright soldiers, its been a ruff and humiliating day, a day a women has disgraced our army”Cid said pacing back in for through the camp.”Sir, she had kick ass skills,she took a leader down with one blow.” A solider said standing up and facing Cid. As the soldier stood a mighty fist busted him in the face. The solider fell and Cid kicked him in the side making him cough blood up. “You make me sick.” Cid said as he walked away. Blane watched what happened and quickly rushed after him.
“Dam, i don't wanna piss Cid off now.” Zach said looking at the damage two blows did. “Well then don't be yourself.” Nick said walking away. “Not funny dude not funny.” Zach said following behind him. On their way back to there tent Zach was stopped by Rachel. “Hey, how are you felling” she said with a smile. “I'm fine.” Zach said with a cheesy smile. “Thats good, well theres something I need to tell you.” She said blushing a bit. “Yeah go ahead shoot, ask me anything you want.” He said putting his shield on his back. “Well...Um..I li...” But before she could finish Nick called out to Zach. “Hey asshole wheres my weapons!” Nick yelled pissed off. Zach turned to Rachel, “Hold that thought, I gotta go help Nick.” he said running off towards Nick.
Rachel watched him run off to his friend with a sad look in her eyes. “I worked myself all up to tell him how i feel about him but I don't get the chance.” She thought as she walked back to the medic tent. “I swear before the end of this battle I will let him know how I truly feel about him.” she said with a smile of hope as she walked into her tent. “Your swords are right were you left them”Zach said pointing to them. “My bad” Nick said picking them up and walking out.
Meanwhile Cid and Blane argued in the commanders tent. “What is your problem!” Blane said giving him a stern look. Cid just sat there saying nothing.”Answer me!” he said staring him in the eyes. Cid stood up and walked towards Blane. “My wifes pregnant, I can't have screw ups in this army, I will be home to see my baby.” Cid said pushing him out of the way. “Thats no excuse my wife 3 months pregnant and I'm still here fighting so you have no excuse.” Blane said a s Cid ignored him and walked out of the tent with a map in his hand. As he watched Cid walk out he thought of his wife, he had promised her he would not let her become a widow,but with the things that have happened he was not sure if he can keep his promise.
Becky sat in Sara's room with tears flowing from hear eyes. She looked threw images of her and Sara having fun and being best friends. How could she betray her best friend, she thought as she sat on the bed whimpering in sadness. “Becky are you alright?” A voice said coming from the door. Becky wipe tears form here eyes “ Yes I'm fine, now please leave me be” she said with a whimper. She listened for the persons footsteps to leave before she began to cry again.”I can't go through with this, Ted is a evil person I can't believe i let him talk me into this, I must make things right!”She said as she ran out of her room towards the kings room.
“men we are only a day away from the kingdom” Cid said pointing to the map.” We must strike fast before the princess is executed, or we must slay the murder's of our princess.” Cid said holding his sword. Cid walked away from the map and Blane came in front of the men. “Our strategy is to have the front line charge and retreat back drawing the enemy into a rain of arrows who will be staying at a distance waiting.” Blane said pointing to the locations. “Once in side, if we get inside, we shall hold every door and exit and find the leaders and kill them.” Blane said stepping down as the men got riled up.
Zach sat looking at the strategy. “Strategy my ass, I'm winging it.” He said to himself. “And thats why your going to die.” Nick said sitting next to him sipping his soup. “Shut up!” Zach said pushing making him to almost spill his soup. Nick gave him a irritated look and then looked back at the map. As everyone began to head to their tents for bed Zach laid out looking up at the nights sky. “Mind if I join you?” Rachel said coming up from behind him. Zach tilted his head back and looked at her, she was wearing a dress and had a warm smile on her face “Yeah sure.” Zach said making room.
As they looked up at the sky nick watched from the tent. “Lucky bastard has a girl that likes him and he don't even know it.” Nick said looking at the stars. “Don't worry Sara I'm coming to save you.”Nick said staring off into the sky. Sara sat by the bared windows looking off to the sky. It was a nice calm evening, she remembered when she was little Zach,Nick and her used to sneak out and run around and play. A tear fell from her eye as she remembered the fun times she had with them. “Please hurry.” she said as she laid in the cot with tears flowing from her eyes as she tried to sleep.
“It's beautiful isn't it?” Rachel said tilting her head and looking at Zach who was starring off into space. Rachel looked at him and began to get angry. “Hey! Are you paying any attention to me!” she said punching him in the side. Zach quickly snapped out of his trance and yelled. “Ow what the hell!” Zach said jumping up. Rachel stood up and brushed the dirt from her dress and stomped away. “What the hell?” Zach said walking back to his tent. “Smooth.” Nick said as he passed into the tent. “Shut up.” Zach said laying down in his bed and closing his eyes.
Chapter 10: Fall of a King and Betryal of a Friend
As Lei entered the castle doors she was greeted by two guards. “Have we won?” Asked a guard. Lei did not answer and kept walking towards were King Taylor was. As she entered the room she saw Becky holding the hand of the king who was pale and lying in his bed. “Is he..Dead?” Lei asked nervously as she walked closer. Becky turned and spoke to Taylor. “My lord you have a warrior from the battle her to visits.” Becky said in a soft sweet voice.
Lei walked over and knelt by the king. He looked terrible and on the break of death. “Sir we have almost reached the castle and I have some bad news.” Lei said with a tear in her eye. “They may have executed Sara already.” she said as Taylors eyes widened. Becky broke down in tears as the king held his heart and lost power to breath. “Sir!” Lei said grabbing him trying to help him. After three minutes of attempting to help Lei closed Taylors eyelids and put a the blanket over his head. “Hes..dead.” She sighed and then turned to Becky who was in tears.
“What are the orders my Queen.” She said looking at her. Becky raised her head with tears flowing from her eyes. “tell them to not return with out the enemy's head.” she said in sadness and hatred of Ted. Lei nodded and ran to the door and out to her horse. Beck sat by the bed in tears as two guards came over to help her. As Lei rode back to the army she was stopped by five soldiers from Remmes. “Look what we got here.” Said a man in a clock. “It's the women that killed the commander from Westrood.” Another said in full body armor and a battle ax. “Ha, it doesn't matter the women in their army are not allowed to fight so she wont be a threat.” Said a female soldier on her horse. Lei jumped of her horse and pulled her blade out. The five soldiers got off there horses as well and pulled out their weapons.
They all ran in at the same time and Lei blocked all five but then was hit with a bottle that knocked her unconscious. When Lei awoke she found herself in a room with Remmes flags hanging in it. “Were am I?” She asked as she saw a man standing in front of her. “You were wounded in battle Lei.” Said the man. Lei looked down and saw her side wrapped up. 'but I am not from this kingdom!” Lei said angered a bit. “Oh yes you are, don't you remember the men from your old kingdom tried to kill you so you left and joined us.” Said the man. “I don't quiet remember that, I do remember being yelled at and then ambushed.” She said holding her head. “Those bastards, trying to kill me I'll have my revenge.” She said standing up and looking at the man.
“Your gear is in the closet.” the man said exiting the room with a smile. Lei became angry and wanted revenge. Her friends had betrayed her and then tried to kill her. As Lei put her new armor on she imaged the look on everyones faces when she killed Cid and the rest of the back stabbing bastards.”Father how did it go.” Ted said looking at his father. “She believed every word, how close is the enemy?” he asked walking back to his throne room. “They are on the move they will be here by afternoon.” Ted said with a grin. “Good.” Russell said sitting in his throne.
“Wake up!” Nick said slapping Zach upside the head. Zach woke from the pain in his head.”I'm up! I'm up!” Zach yelled as he got out of bed. “You think aft weeks of being in the army you'd be used to waking up early.” Nick said throwing his necklace on and walking out of the tent. As Zach got ready Rachel walked in the tent. “Oh my god I'm so sorry.” Rachel said shielding her eyes as Zach jumped and grabbed his pants. He quickly through on his pants and shirt. “Why re you here?” Zach said putting his armor on. “I wanted to say I'm sorry for yelling at you last night, it's just i really li..” Bu before she could finish she was cut off. “Zach get your ass out her front line leaving now!” Cid ordered as he stuck his head in the tent. “Um well i got to go bye.” he said as he put on the rest of his gear and ran outside of the tent.
“Dammit!” Rachel said as she sat down on his bed. “Why am I always cut off before I tell him how I feel, it's not fair!” She pouted before getting up and leaving. As they marched the sun began to rise, and the heat began to kick in. by mid afternoon they halted. “We have arrived men.” Cid said pointing to a castle off in the distance. Just over this small hill awaits the last stand for their kingdom, it will be ruff and it will be hell, but we shall win this war and save our princess. “ Cid said raising his sword in the air. The men hooted and roared raising their weapons in the air. “This is it man, our last chance to save Sara.” Zach said looking at Nick who seemed to have a determined look on his face. “They will fall before us.” Nick said as he gripped his weapons tight.
“Move!” Cid said as the front infantry marached over the hill and left the archers in their position. As they came over the hill they could see the enemy army in huge numbers and the castle heavily defended. “You wont make it out alive.” yelled a commander of the enemy. “Charge!!” Cid yelled as they army's began to charge at each other, with blood thirsty looks in their eyes.
Chapter 11: Death of a Friend
As the army's connect the sound of steel hitting steel rung through the land. “Rah!” Zach roared as his sliced a swordsman in two. As he brought his sword up he connected with another. Zach rammed the side of his shield into the enemy and slit his throat and continued fighting. As Zach fought Nick was to his left chopping the enemy into bits. “Bring it on you weak bastards!” he yelled ad he split two men in half. Cid grabbed a soldier and smashed his head in and threw the corps at the other on coming men.
As the front line fought the archers and Blane moved in just close enough to hit the enemy. “Fire!” Blane ordered as a rain of arrows flew into the sky and came crashing down on the enemy dropping them like nothing. As men dropped Cid and the front line pressed on closer to the castle door. Blane stood on the top of the hill watching and ordering more arrow assaults. He continued giving orders and then notices less and less arrows being fired. “What the...” Blane said as he turned and saw Lei and a small group of men slaughtering archers from behind.
“You traitorous bitch!” Blane said drawing his bow and taking aim at Lei. As Blane released the arrow he grabbed another and reloaded. The arrow flew at Lei but was blocked by her shield. As the arrow broke over her shield she spotted Blane and began to ride towards him slicing the archers apart. Blane fired another arrow which hit the horse she was riding causing her to be flung off. As she hit the ground Blane drew his blade and walked towards her. Lei jumped to her feet and drew her blade and walked towards Blane with a blood thirsty look.
“I'll make you suffer for betraying me!” lei said as she circled Blane. “Betray you,you must be confused you are betraying us.” Blane said as he swung and connected with Lei's blade. Lei kicked him back trying to stay in control. “Lies all lies!” Lei screamed as sh jumped and went to slash Blane while he was down. Blane blocked the cut but felt himself sink into the ground a bit. Blane kicked her off and got to his feet as she did the same. “these are no lies this is the truth!” Blane said slashing and over powering Lei and slicing her in the shoulder. “Ah!” Lei yelled as she pulled a dagger out and stabbed Blane in the stomach.
Blane's eyes widened as he felt the pain in his stomach. As he he stumbled backwards he fell to his knees. “If I don't kill you first the poison will!” Lei said holding the dagger up which had a green liquid mixed with blood on it. “I will never fall to you.” Blane said as his eyes lowered. Lei walked over to him and put her blade to the side of his neck. “Well to bad!” Lei said as she brought her blade back ready to slice his head off in one cut. As she swung her blade towards Blane's head, the blade was blocked by a sword.
Lei stood amazed as Blane held his blade blocking the attack. As he stood she went for another strike which was blocked again. Lei began to get frustrated and started to swing recklessly. Blane blocked every attack and block one final attack before decking her in the face causing her to fall to the ground. Lei dropped her sword and fell the ground holding her face. “I'll kill you!” Lei said picking her weapon back up and charging at Blane who stood ready. As she ran with her blade over her head Blane step forward and drove his sword into her stomach. The blade went all the way through and his hands were right next to her stomach. Lei's eyes grew and she let out a shriek of pain. As Blane began to pull his blade out Lei delivered one final blow by slashing down into his back. “Ah!” Blane yelled as he fell to his knees.
Lei fell to the ground and laid there bleeding to death. Blane rose from his knees and coughed up blood and looked up to see his whole archery troop destroyed and Lei's men coming at him. As he picked his weapon up and felt dizzy from the poison and dropped it. “I shall fight to the bitter end!” Blane said as he grabbed his sword and rose up and began fighting the oncoming men. As he fought he began to be surrounded and stabbed. “So this..is the..end?” Blane said as another sword stabbed into him. Blane fell to his knees and then on his stomach as he laid there dying.
Rachel ran up the hill to check on Blane and the rest of the army. As she got to the top she saw the enemy and Blane and his men slaughtered. “Oh my god!” Rachel screamed as she looked at the gore. Rachel turned and ran towards Cid and the others to tell them what happened. As she reached Cid she was almost out of breath. Cid had dropped back into the middle to take a rest. “Cid!” Rachel cried out as he turned and looked at her. “What! I don't need no medic I'm fine!” he yelled as he picked up a small boulder and flung it at the enemy. “Blane is dead along with the archers.” she cried. Cid dropped the boulder he was about to throw and looked up to the hill to see the enemy charging down. Cid was speechless and had a small tear in his eye.
“Men defend the rear!” Cid ordered as half the army sun around to meet the enemy. “Make them pay for what they did to Blane and the archers!” Cid roared as he charged viciously at the oncoming enemy. Rachel dried her tears and ran to a soldier who was wounded and began to help him.
Chapter 12: The Power Of Friendship
Zach turned to see the on coming assault. “Shit!” Zach said as he looked at how close the castle was. He stood there blocking for 5 minutes before running towards the rear of the army. “Good luck.” Nick said right before he took off. Nick turned and saw a horrific sight. As he fought he saw 3 giant soldiers walking from the castle. “Feel my wraith.” Russell said standing in the window of the castle. Ted stood by the door listening to the sound of people being killed. “They are getting close.” Ted thought as he ran down to the dungeon were Sara was.
“Looks as your friends my succeed in trying to save you.” Ted said looking at Sara who had dried tears on her cheeks and was in the dark corner of the cell. “Don't worry I shall personally make sure they don't succeed.” he said walking away towards the armory. Sara sat with her knees pulled to her chest. “Please hurry.” she said as she put her head down. Ted entered the armory and grabbed his blade and pulled it out of its sheath. “They shall fall to my blade.” he said as he walked off.
Rachel began to bandage a soldier as the army from the rear got closer. “Look out!” Yelled Zach as he blocked a blade going straight down towards Rachel. Zach stabbed his blade into the guy and kicked him away. “Thanks.” She said smiling looking at Zach. As Zach smiled back he was decked by a club and fell to the ground. “Zach!” Rachel screamed running over to his unconscious body.
She checked his pulse to make sure he was still alive then turned to see on coming men. “Please Zach wake up!” She said crying over his chest. Zach's eyes opened slowly as he felt a sharp pain in his head. “Ah, what the hell happened!” He said putting his hand on his hand. “I'm so happy your alive.” Rachel said drying tears from her eyes. “Wow, didn't know you cared so much.” He said looking at her. “About that, Zach I love yo...” But before she could finish a blade went through her chest. Zach looked her in the eyes and could tell what she had said. “Rach...” He said as blood dripped from her mouth. “You bastards!” Zach roared as he got up and began hacking away at the enemy. “I'll kill you all!” he said as he bashed a guys head in. The army from the rear quickly got smaller as Zach went on a killing rampage.
Nick jumped out of the way of the giant sword. “God damn giants!” Nick said moving to the left dodging the giants swing. Nick stood still and studied the giants move closely waiting for the one fault. The giant went for a stab, but Nick jumped causing the blade to stick into the ground. Nick saw his opening and ran up the giants sword and made a slashing X on the giants head taking it clean off. Nick jumped down as the giants body landed not even a foot away from him. He then made eye contact with the second giant who had a helmet and an ax for a weapon. “Your next chubby.” He said a she ran at him.
The giant swung with out any thought trying to kill Nick. Nick took quick advantage to this and dodge every attack studying the giants every move just like the other one. As he studied the giant he noticed the closes death shot would be its throat were the helmet didn't protect. Nick dodged another attack wondering how he was going to get up that high. He than smirked and threw his red blade into the giants stomach. The giant showed slight pain and stumbled a bit. “Say goodbye!” Nick said jumping on his sword and thrusting his blade into the giants throat. The giant fell with Nick standing on it's chest. “To easy.” He said grabbing his swords and going back to killing soldiers.
Russell stood by the window in shock as he watched the two friends of the girl he had kidnapped slaughter his army.”This can't be happening.” he said as he lef this window and went to the case wear his soul edge was. “I shall kill these little bastards myself.” He said as he grabbed the soul edge out and did a few slicing and stabbing motions. “Father, they are almost to the doors.” Ted said looking at his father. “Hold them as long as you can.” He said as he prepared to fight. Ted did as he was ordered and ran to the army messenger and told him the orders as he took off down a hall. Zach stood over Rachel's dead body covered in blood and breathing hard.”I'll make them pay for all the friends i lost from this war.” he said clenching his blade tightly. He then looked at Rachel's body, her eyes were wide open. “Rest in peace, you were a great friend.” he said closing her eyes.

Summary:In the kingdom of Therus 3 friends make a pack to stay friends and protect each other no matter what.Later in life one of the friends becomes a princess and is kidnap by a evil prince and the two kingdoms go to War.Zach and Nick fight to keep the Pact.
Chapter 1: The Pact of 3 Friends
“Hey guys.” Sara said as she came running towards them in her nice pink dress. Zach turned to see Sara running towards him and Nick. “Hey, I see you snuck out of the castle to hang with us again.” Nick said as he held a wooden sword.
“I told you two already, you guys are my best friends and I'd sneak out a million times more just to hang with you two.” She said with a smile as she picked up a wooden bow.
“But isn't kinda weird, your the princess and instead of playing with the rich people you come down her and play with us peasants.” Nick said with a weird look on his face.
“Dude shut up she already said were best friends so it doesn't matter.” Zach said holding his wooden shield.
“Yeah best friends for ever.” Sara said smiling happily.
“Hey guys let's make a pack to stay friends forever and protect each other no matter what.” Zach said with a grin as he put his hand out.
“Alright.” Nick and Sara said putting there hands in as well. “Friends forever.” they said as they raised their hands in the air.
“Dude wake the hell up.” Nick said punching Zach in the arm trying to wake him up.
“I'm up, I'm up.” Zach said getting up whipping the sleep from his eyes. It had been 12 years since they made that packed and Nick and him had joined the army to become knights so they could protect Sara who had become the princess. “Dude come on were going to be late for the quest King Tridon wants us to go on.” Nick said putting his red blade in its sleeve. Nick was a slim built kid who had fiery red hair and a since that he would only talk to people when spoken to. A complete opposite of Zach who was a loud mouth who talked a lot and was normal in size.
As they walked towards the castle Sara waved from her balcony. Zach waved back and was about to shout something when nick pushed him into the castle door. “Hey what the hell man.” Zach said as he looked a Nick.
“Dude we have no time for chit chat, were going to be late and i don't think you wanna miss this quest.” Nick said as they were lead to the throne room by a young servant named Lindzee. As they enter the room the saw King Tridon siting in his throne a bit pale but still powerful looking. Zach and Nick bowed as Sara ran into the room with her best girlfriend Becky.
Zach waved but was then hit in the side by Nick. Nick didn't want to screw his chance of getting closer to Sara who he secretly loved. “You may raise.” The king said as he sat looking at them. “Your quest is to go slay a dragon who lives in a cave in Mt. Recher.” He said with a stern voice. Nick and Zach knelled one more time and then left to go prepare.
“What the hell is your problem man.” Zach said turning Nick around to face him.
“I'm just trying to stop you from screwing are chances up.” Nick said walking off to get ready. Zach followed and began to put his chain mail and the rest of his gear on. Zach pulled his long sword out checking to make sure it wasn't cracked as he shined his shield. Nick sat impatiently waiting for Zach as he had been ready since the morning.
“Alright lets do this.” Zach said as he got up. “About dam time.” Nick said as they were about to leave. “Hey wait!” a girl said making Nick and Zach turn. As they turned they saw Becky running with a bag in her hand. “Sara wants you guys to have these.” She said smiling as she took off towards the castle. Zach picked up the bag and opened it to find two pendants with a part of a triangle at the bottom each with a letter on them and a note. The note read You boys be safe,these pendants are for are friendship when they are all together they complete a triangle. Now be careful and come back – sincerely, Sara. Nick put the note in his pocket as he puled a pendant out with a N on it. “this is tight as hell!” Zach said already wearing his with a Z on it. Nick and Zach then left the town to embark on their quest.
Chapter 2: The Quest
As Zach and Nick walked through the plain son their way to the mountain that the dragon they had to slay lived in they felt they were being followed. As they walked Zach couldn't get that someone was watching them out of his head. “Hey you know someones following us right?” Zach asked whispering to Nick. Nick looked at him,”It's just a servant making sure we do the quest.” he said as he kept walking.
After the plains came a dark misty forest which had been known to have people come in and never come out. “Uh do we have to go in there.” Zach said frightened a bit. “Yes, it's the only way to the mountain.” Nick said walking into the woods that kept most of the light from the sun out. Zach sighed and walked into the dark wood and kept with Nick not waned to get lost. After a few hours of walking they had made half way through the forest and decided to make camp for the night.
Nick sat and read the note that was given to them earlier that days as Zach began to rub two sticks together to make fire. “Hey give me this.” Zach said as he snatched the note out of Nick's hand and set it on fire using the sticks. “You bastard!” Nick said pushing him over. “What the hell dude! It was just a Funking note.” Zach said pissed off from being shoved. “Leave me alone.” Nick said as he walked off into the forest. Zach sighed as he watched him walk away.
Hours past and Nick hadn't come back yet, Zach had thought he'd be back by now and he could of apologized for burning the note but Nick hadn't come back. As he waited he spotted the servant who was following them. “Hey you can come out i know your there.” Zach said as he tossed a rock at the person hiding and hit them. “Ow!” a female voice said as a young girl maybe two years younger than him came out from behind the bushes. “Why did you throw a rock at me?” She asked rubbing her head. “Why not throw a rock at your head.” Zach said being a smart ass.
“So whats your name and who sent you.” Zach said a she pulled his sword out for fun. “My names Lindsey, and I am a servant of king Taylor and his family and was sent to make sure you slay the dragon.” she said with a smile. Zach just looked at her stupidly, and then got up. “Well you stay here i gotta go find Nick.” He said picking his shield up and walking off into the forest in Nick's direction.
Nick sat under a tree as he was pissed and was trying to calm down. “That idiot he destroyed the only thing I had of Sara's.” He thought as he made a fist with his hand.”I know he likes her but hes my friend and should know i like her too and he should just back off.” Thought as he stood up and faced a tree. “But it doesn't matter she probably likes him more, I'm silent and don't talk much but I'm more polite then him.”he thought as he settled his head on the tree depressed and confused.
“Hey cry baby.” a voice said behind Nick. Nick spun around tow see tow bandits with swords looking a him. “That's some pretty nice gear you got there.” a fat one said holding a mace. “Too bad for you its ours now.” another guy that seemed to be the leader said with a grin. Nick grinned a bit as his anger was boiling up inside. “Try and take you worthless scum.” Nick said as he drew his swords.
“Have it your way.” The leader said as two more guys jumped out behind Nick. Nick had been surrounded but didn't care, at least if he died no one would care. “You sure you wanna do it this way?” The leader asked giving Nick one last chance. Nick grinned and turned and threw a knife at the leader hitting him in he shoulder. “Ahh! You bastard!, Kill him!” He said pulling the dagger out of his shoulder. As the men charged at Nick he let a fearful raging yell and began slicing and dicing the guys.
Nick swung his swords in all directions hitting and slicing open the bandits. They let out painful screams as Nick killed them. Nick stopped yelling and slicing as he faced the last survivor who was the leader. Nick breathed hard trying to catch his breath as the lead pulled out tow axes. “Time to di...” He said but before he could finish his sentence Nick had both his swords in his stomach. “ See you in hell!” Nick said pulling his swords out horizontally slicing the man in two.
Zach ran as he heard screams and then Nick. When Zach arrived he saw four men on the ground dead and Nick standing covered in blood standing over them. “Dude...” Zach said amazed as he watched Nick collapse.
Chapter 3: Draco Mancer
As Nick woke up he saw Zach hovering over him. “About time you woke up.” Zach said handing him a bowl with soup in it. Nick sat up and looked at the soup and then felt his stomach grow so he didn't hesitate to dig in. “Man are little four day quest is gonna be an extra two days since you got wounded and were out for two days.” Zach said tossing wood in the fire.
Nick stopped eating and looked at his side which was bandaged. “How the hell, i wasn't touched by those bastards.” nick said looking at the wound. “No you were, you just didn't realize it all because you were running on adrenaline and rage.” Zach said as he sat looking at the fire. Nick sat their admiring the bandage it wells well wrapped and defiantly wasn't Zach's work. “Who patched me up?” Nick asked curious as he began to eat his soup again. “Oh that was Lindsey she was sent to follow us, shes a pretty good medic.” Zach said with a smile.
“Oh, were is she now?” Nick asked. “Um she said she was going back to the kingdom to tell them that our quest is going to be longer than expected.” Zach said as he got up and grabbed his weapons. Nick got up and grabbed his weapons fighting the slight pain in his side. “Let's get this quest over with.” Nick said as the started walking for the exit of the forest.
As they exited the forest they came to a large rocky mountain with a flat area at the middle.”Well here it is, let's get a climbing.” Zach said as he put his shield on his back and began to climb with Nick right behind him.
“Sara Prince Ted of Remmes has arrived.” King Taylor said as he walked past her room. Sara didn't like Ted but she knew her friend Becky did so she allowed him to come over. Ted walked in in a prince outfit and a cape as he walked over to Sara knelt down./ “Sara i must ask you to marry me, so our family's can rule over everyone.” he said as he held her hand. Becky watched from the side with half mad smile on. “I'm sorry Ted i just don't like you like that now i know Becky here likes you so why don't you ask her.” Sara said as she pulled her hand away.
Ted stood up and had a pissed off look on his face as he walked out of the room. As Ted left Becky got and idea and quickly ran to Ted. “Wait,I have a plan.” she said as Ted turned to face her. “I know you like me and you know i like you, and you cant marry me if I'm not a princes right?” Becky said with a grin.”Right..” Ted said having no clue were this was going. “Well if you kidnap Sara with out anyone finding out, and if shes gone for to long i become princess and you can marry me and we can rule together.” Becky said as a wide evil grin came upon Ted's face. “Now get going.” Becky said kissing Te don the lips and running back to Sara.
“Come one your almost there.” Zach said as he watched Nick climb to were he was. Zach lowered his hand and helped Nick up. When they were both on top of the flat area they saw a dark cave with bones near it. “There she is.” Zach said pulling his sword and shield out. Zach and Nick walked into the cave to see a sleeping dragon. “Alright I'm going to cut its head off so be very quite so it don't wake up.” Zach said as he got closer. As Nick watched him get closer he felt sorrow for the dragon so he threw a rock at the side of the wall sending a ringing noise through the cave.
Zach stopped when he heard the noise. He turned to Nick. “What the hell dude!” Zach said pissed off. “Sorry my bad.” Nick said as he watched Zach. Zach turned around to see the dragon wide awake and pissed off staring him down. “Aw Funk!” Zach said as he put his shield up and was blasted with fire. Zach ran towards the dragon with his shield in front of him but was pushed back by the heat of the fire. “This isn't working were screwed.” Zach said sweating trying to catch his breath.
“Let me talk to it.” Nick said as he grabbed Zach's shield. “Wait what your going to talk to it, i have to see this, Hey Mr. Dragon can we kill you.” Zach joked as he watched Nick. Nick walked up to the dragon and started speaking in a weird language calming the dragon. “Oh my god.” Zach said shocked. Nick walked back to Zach and grinned. “Your a f*cking Dracomancer.” Zach said surprised. “Yeah but you can't tell anyone , people fear dracomancers.” Nick said with a smile.”You got my word, but you know were pretty lucky that Lindsey chick left or she'd be blabbing to the king about you being a dracomancer and us not killing the dragon.” Zach said as they began their quest back home.
Lindsey watched as they walked out of the cave but she noticed the dragon was still alive. “Busted” she said as she got on her horse and rode to go tell the king.
Chapter 4: Busted
As Lindsey entered the castle she was greeted by the king.“Did they succeed in their quest?” He asked as Lindsey knelt. “No my lord they did not slay the dragon, they are on their way home as we speak.” She said still kneeling. Taylor's face became pitch red in anger, they had defied him and they have the nerve to show themselves here, he thought as he walked away.
When nick and Zach arrived at the kingdom they were immediately swarmed by knights and guards.”Hey guys what the hell is all this?” Zach asked as they stripped him of his weapons. Nick stood there as they dis armed him as well. “That servant snitched on us were Fucked.” Nick said as they were escorted into the castle.
Taylor sat in his thrown with Sara right beside him as they were brought in front of him.” You defied me, now you must be killed!” He yelled with furious tone. Sara was shocked by what her father was saying. “No Wait! Please don't kill them they are my friends please.” Sara said with tears in her eyes. Taylor was a stubborn king but when his daughter cried he gave in.
Chapter 5: To WAR
The next morning Zach and Nick were awaken by loud trumpets. Nick jumped up and quickly got dressed as Zach was still in his bed snoring. “Wake up you idiot.” Nick said smacking his back hard. Zach jumped up and then fell back on his bed. “It's to dam early.” Zach moaned as Nick began tossing his equipment on him. “If you don't get up you'll get 30 lashes.” Nick said walking out of there small tent.
As Zach laid there he then realized how bad 30 lashes would hurt. “OH shit!” Zach said getting up and quickly getting dressed and running to the training area. As he arrived he was just in time, he lined up right next to Nick and waited. “Solders! This is our kingdom! We will not let it fall were control the life and death of this place!You fail this kingdom fails, so failing is not an option!” The commander yelled walking back and forth. “We are not the strongest nor biggest army, But we shall not be conquered because we have heart!,No surrender,retreat, we die fighting for our kingdom is that clear!” He yelled. “Howrah!!Howrah! Howrah!” They all replied.
“Now get your sorry ass to work.!” The commander yelled as the solders except for Zach started drills. Zach walked up to the commander and stared him in the eyes for a second. “Do you have a problem solider!” He snapped. “No,no problem I just think I know you from somewhere, whats your name?” Zach said looking at him. “I'm Commander Cid Trex!” He yelled as he shoved Zach. “Hey asshole don't shove em!” Zach said pulling his sword out.
Nick stopped from his drills and turned to see all the commotion. He saw Zach with his sword out staring a the commander who was about to drawl his sword. “Funk, why is he always getting into trouble.” Nick said watching to see what was going to happen.”Do you wanna die boy.” Cid said drawling his sword. As soon as Cid said those words he felt a pain across his chest. Zach smiled as he saw blood on his sword. “Boy, I'm no boy I'm your worst Funking nightmare!” Zach said swinging at him again.
Cid instinct fully blocked it and pushed Zach back using his power. Cid swung his left fist at Zach trying to throw him off balance. Zach smiled and put his shield up and listened to the bones crack in Cid's hand. “Raa!” Cid screamed out in pain as he swung powerfully knocking Zach off balance. Zach stumbled and fell to he ground. Cid put his blade to Zach throat. “Pathetic you must be slain.” Cid said raising his sword. As the sword sung down it was stopped by two blades. “He he, have to kill someone when there on the ground, how pathetic.” Nick said blocking the blade.
“What the hell is going on!” Yelled out a voice. Nick stopped blocking and Cid turned and faced Taylor who was standing there watching. Zach,Nick 30 lashes each now!” Taylor yelled out mad as hell as they wear taken to the town square for their lashes. “As for you Cid get back to work!” Taylor said as Cid nodded and went back to command. Zach and Nick showed no signs of pain as they were whipped. After their lashes Taylor came up to them. “You will follow your orders given to you nor next time it'll be death.” He said walking back to the castle.
“Pansy ass bitch.” Zach mumbled as he put his stuff back on. Zach and Nick went back to training. Later they went for a walk around the castle. Zach and Nick both stopped right before the hallway to Sara's room,when they heard three people talking. “no let me go!!” Sara yelled as Ted tied her arms and legs and put her over his shoulder. “Let me go!” she yelled trying to get free. Ted set her down and punched her in the face knocking her out. He then continued to take her away. “Stop right there!” Yelled a girl. Zach and Nick looked it was the snitch Lindsey.
Ted turned and looked at her. “ha your going to stop me how?” Ted said with a laugh. Lindsey leaped at him and stabbed him in the arm with a dagger.”Ah! Little whore!” Ted said pulling his blade out and jabbing it into Lindsey and then puling it out. The girl fell to her knees and began to bleed as Ted made his escape. “Funk we gotta save her!” Zach said about to run after him but was stopped by Nick. “If we kill him we go to war with the most powerful kingdom.” nick said as thy watched Ted until he was out of sight.
Zach and Nick hen ran up to the girl who was stabbed. Nick checked her breathing and pulse.”shes...dead.” Nick said as he heard footsteps. Zach turned and saw Becky,Taylor and Cid running towards them. Before Taylor could utter a word Zach blurted out “ Sara's been kidnapped by Prince Ted of Remmes.” Taylor stopped and sadness went into his eyes. “Sir we promise we shall rescue her.” Nick said looking at him. “To WAR!” Taylor screamed out into the castle. Becky and Cid both looked at him. “Are you mad they are the most powerful kingdom alive.” they both said with a crazed look.
“I don't care they took the only thing I cared about!”, Becky you will take over princess duties, Cid take these two soldiers and prepare the army for war.” He said as he walked away. “You heard him, to war!” Cid said as Zach and nick stood and followed him to the barracks. As everyone left Becky smiled and went to her room.
Chapter 6: First Battle
Cid busted into the barracks scaring the shit out of the soldiers. “Ten hut you worthless bastards were going to war!.” Cid said with a smile on his face. The young men began to whimper and coward in fear, never thinking they would actually go to war. The older solders packed there bags and smiled finally getting a chance o show their power. Zach walked over to his station and grabbed his armor and weapons. Before he ran out of the tent he pulled a cloth out of his pocket and pulled out the necklace given to him, he placed it around his neck and took off.
Nick walked in confident that the war will be over fast with his skills and Zach's power. Nick grabbed his gear already wearing the necklace Sara had given them. Cid stood in front of the men as Nick ran up and got in line. “Now that were all here i can give you the information on this war.” Cid said as he wrapped his hand. “The princess has been kidnapped by Prince Ted of Remmes and that is who are enemy is and why we are going to war.” Cid said with a smirk.
Men began to panic, Remmes was the most powerful kingdom in the land,their soldiers were highly skilled and powerful non the less. “Quit your whinnying you Funking pansies!” Zach said as he stood out in front of the men while Cid had his back turned. “Yeah,Yeah there strong and skilled but we got heart and courage,yeah were out number but we will fight until the bloody end, we wont give up and never will we will fight to the end of the world.” Zach said as he raised his sword. The men stood there for a minute taking in what he had just said. “Hell ya!” Cid said turning around raising his sword in the air. The army cheered and began there march towards Remmes.
“Father I retrieved the girl.” Ted said as he knelt down to a turned chair. “Good my son know we shall crush those blundering fools.” the man in the chair said with a evil tone. Ted then walked away and down to the dungeon cells were he had Sara held. “You ugly bastard!” Sara yelled as she spit at Ted. “I won't marry you.” “I don't want you, Becky shall be my queen.” Ted said with a smirk. “She'll never do that after she finds out you kidnapped me you jerk.” Sara said sitting down on the bed in the cell.
“Hahaha, you dimwitted bitch,Becky is the one who planned this whole thing,with you gone she becomes queen and we shall marry after my father empire crushes yours,and i will become King and she shall be my queen.” Ted said as he began to walk away with a smile. Sara sat in the cell in disbelief that her best friend would betray her. She began to weep as she held the part of the friendship necklace hoping and prayer her two loyal friends will come and save her from this evil place.
The men marched through the heat and sandstorms on there way to Remmes. The two kingdoms were separated by a desert,forest and mountain. As the army reached a small town of Werthra they found dead bodies and the Remmes royal flag on top of a building. “Welcome!” A dark figure said standing next to the flag. The man was in dark purple armor and had the Remmes symbol on his armor. “Prepare yourselves, thats a general.” Cid said as the men readied their weapons.
“Ha! That many men will be crushed by my small unit.” the man said with a grin as he whistled and his troops came out of hiding. They had around 100,000 men while this little troop had around 1,00. “Charge.” Said the man in a calm voice as thy rushed towards Cid and his army. Zach braced himself as he drew his sword and shield. Nick stood there with a grin and both blades out and by his side. “Hold!!” Cid ordered as the men pulled shields out and began to block.
As the army's collided dust whipped in the air.”Push!” Cid said as they barley pushed back the Remmes army. After the push Cid ordered an all out assault. Swords,axes,shields,spears and pikes all collided with each other as arrows cover the skies. Nick began slices solders in two with ease. Zach fought blocking every attack thrown at him as he watched other soldiers get hacked apart by the enemy. “Medic!!” Zach yelled as a young medic ran over to a wounded soldier as Zach protected her.
Cid began ramming people with his shield and hacking the enemy apart. off. The battle began to intensify as arrows began to fly even more. Arrows came crashing down upon the army slaughtering men by the hundreds. “Funk!” Zach yelled out in pain as 3 arrows were lodged in him.,two in his left arm one in his right leg. “Shit Zach,Medic!” Nick yelled out as he helped Zach to his feet and continued to fight as the young medic came back and tried to take Zach away. “Get your hands off me.” Zach said pushing her away as he hacked apart an enemy.
The medic becked off with a smile knowing he would survive and went to help the others. After hours of battling they had finally became victorious but with many casualties. Cid sat in his tent counting up the dead, as Nick sat with Zach in the medical tent. “Okay all better.” Said the medic with a smile looking at Zach. Before she walked away Zach tapped her on the shoulder. “So um thanks and what might your name be?” Zach said blushing a bit while Nick owed in the back. “My name is Rachel Flynn second in charge medic and over there is the head medic Lei,she wishes she could be a soldier.” Rachel said with a smile. “Well nice meeting you..oh and my names Zach.” He said as she smiled and walked over to the next patient.
“You pimp.” Nick said as Zach came back. “Shut up dude i just wanted to know the name of the person who helped me get back on the battlefield.” Zach said as Nick gave him the sure.. look.”Well I'm going to see the causality report Nick said heading towards Cid's tent. Zach hoped off the bed and went to talk to Cid along with Nick. “So how many we got left?” Nick asked as Cid turned and gave them a Funk were boned look. “We lost 2,00 men, that means each of the enemy's soldiers killed 2 of our men.” Cid said as he walked out to make sure the men were training. “Shit were screwed.” Nick said sitting down. “Hey man, we got hope and Sara's counting on us.” Zach said as he left the tent.
Nick sat in the tent thinking of what Zach had just said. “it doesn't matter even if we saved her she'd still like him more.” Nick said as he sighed a bit.”But non the less we do have to save her,i made a promise and I'm gong to keep it even if it kills me.” Nick said as he grabbed his weapons to train so he could make sure he didn't fail.
Chapter 7: 5 Messangers
As the army gathered their gear to head forward 5 horseman were spotted coming there way.”Archers ready your arrows.”Blane the archer commander who had precise accuracy ordered as the horseman got closer. As the men got closer the flag of Remmes was seen on their armor. The men stopped just out of range of the archers. One got off h his horse and began walking towards the army. Blane released an arrow and dropped the man nailing him in the head.
The four others began to freak out.”Hold your fire we are messengers not soldiers.” One said in pure fear. “Lower your arrows, you too Blane.” Cid ordered as the four men got closer. “We are here to tell you if you advance any farther on Remmes land we will come at you full force.” a messenger said reading a scroll. “You expect me and my men to obey your orders you must be stupid!” Cid said stabbing a sword inside the messenger.
“We don't want any more conflict!” another messenger yelled as Cid got closer to them.”Your princess will be executed in 2 weeks!” said another messenger who was jumping on his horse. Cid and 5 other men grabbed the two messengers who were trying to flee and hacked them to pieces. Blane aimed carefully with three arrows at the last messenger who was riding on the horse. Blane released and nailed the messenger with all three arrows.
Ted watched as his fathers plan unfolded. He rode off after seeing the last messenger trying to escape die. As he entered the castle he quickly ran to the throne room to tell his father the good news. “Father they are heading straight for the trap,they took the bait.” Ted said kneeling as the throne spun to face him. Russell sat with a case on his legs with a grin.”Good, maybe I'll finally get to use my force Edge on a true opponent” Russell said as he opened the case to reveal the force edge. “That is only if they get pass the catapults and our army father.” Ted said with a smirk. “That is true now run along and make sure things stay a plan.” Russell said turning back around in his throne.
“No man or women returns to the king and tells him this news, you understand me!” Cid said as he walked back in forth at were they sat up camp. Nick and Zach sat with gloomy faces. “There...they..but.. we can't save her its to short of time.” Zach said stressed out. “Don't say such things, god may not be on our said and i may not give a dam it I lose my life in this battle, but i will not let them kill her, and i need you to have my back so get up quit moping and let's go save her.” Nick said as he got up and headed over to Cid to tell him they should start marching now.
Zach sat there looking at the necklace that Sara had giving him. He clenched the necklace and grabbed his gear and headed over to Nick. Cid had an angry face on as Nick walked up to him. “Sir we must head out now so Sara shall not get executed.” Nick said as Zach walked up with his gear on. “Alright, get everyone ready.” Cid said as he went to prepare to head out. As everyone got ready Zach ran into the medic bunker to warn he medics. As he walked in he saw a women fencing with a sword. “Dam your good.” Zach said as the women dropped the blade and had a scared look on her face.
“I'm sorry ill get back to work.” She said frightened. “Don't worry i won't tell your a good solider to bad your a girl.” Zach said looking at her trying to rembered were he had seen her before. “Whats that supposed to mean. “ Rachel said coming up from behind. “Um nothing it's just that if she were a man she could be a solider.” Zach said turning to Rachel . “Lei is the head medic, she doesn't have time for fighting she has to heal people.” Rachel said walking over to Lei. “Oh yeah know remember you!” Zach said as he suddenly rembered why he was there. “OH were heading out you need tog et ready.. “ he said as he stood there. “Okay now get out we have to change.” Rachel said shutting a blind on him. Zach ran out to warn everyone else with a slight disappointment.
Nick sat with Blane and the archers as they were already to leave. “Don't worry kid we got this war, they may be bigger but we have more skill. “ Blane said trying to cheer him up, Nick just sat there looking up at the sky. Zach ran up and stood in line by Nick. Blane got up and walked over to Cid and began talking to him and then pointing at Nick and Zach. “Shit what we do now!” Zach thought has Cid walked over with Blane. “Elites get up front were you belong.” Cid said looking at them. “you mean us?” Nick said snapping out of his daze.”Yes you were leaving in 5 minutes now get up there.” Cid said as They got up and walked to the front. As they passed Blane Nick gave him a thank you look.
Chapter 8: Unknown Soilder
As they marched closer and closer to Remmes the heat and the wind began to rise and kick up.”God dam its hot.” Zach said as he put his shield over his head for shade. Nick payed no attention to him and continued to march. “Stop!” Blane called out as they halted with nothing in front of them.”Blane whats wrong?” Cid said as he looked and saw nothing ahead of them. Blane just studied the land keeping an eye on every little movement.
“Send a small troop forward.” Blane said as he stood confident something was wrong. Cid ordered Lei and 12 men to move ahead. As they grew farther away they stopped and turned to face the army.”Nothing s...” Before the solider could finish his throat was sliced. “Shit!” Yelled another solider as 10 more enemy men popped out of the sand and stabbing the small group. “Solders attack!” Cid ordered ready to destroy the enemy. “Halt!” Blane ordered as a catapult came crushing down on the small group of soldiers. Cid stopped his charge and starred in disbelief. If Blane wouldn't of ordered the halt they could have been crushed. “What the hell!” Zach yelled as he ran out into the dust of were the group was. “Shit!” Nick said as he ran after him. Cid turned and saw them run into the dust. As the dust cleared three people stood holding their weapons facing the enemy army. Cid watched as the there stood there fearless. “Nick?”
“Yeah?”
“Ready for this shit.”
“Oh hell yeah, what about you?”
“Couldn't of waited another day.” Zach said as the three drew there weapons. “Nick,Zach what are the casualties of the group.” hollered Cid as the enemy didn't make a move. “Everyone including the medic is dead besides this lone solider here.” Zach said as he began to sweat from the heat. Rachel over heard the report and began to burst into tears. Her commander in the medic field was dead, and now she had to take on full responsibility. Three solders calmed here down and she regained her normal state.
The enemy me armor stood watching them until there commander a big heavy armored man wielding a battle ax yelled out charge. “I'll see you in hell my friend.” Zach said as he lowered his shield and gripped his blade in his hand. “I wouldn't want it any other way man.” Nick said pulling his blades out. The lone solider stood with the two as the army inched closer. Showing no signs of emotion. Cid looked as the army charged towards the three. “Theres no way we can save them unless they hold that army off for at least 4 minutes.” Cid said holding his blade. “Don't under estimate those tow, they fight not for the win but for friendship, and that will guide them through this battle.” Blane said calmly.
As the army got right to them Zach rammed the men with his shield pushing a small bit back as he cut and sliced away at there lower body. Nick stabbed and cut away blocking swords and kicking men off his blades. The lone solider was slaughtering any man who came his way. Cutting high low and every with precise skill and agility. “Who the Funk is this person?” Zach said as he began thrusting his sword into his opponent. “I don;t know but hes got skill.” Nick said stabbing his blades into a man with his back turned. Nick spun around and block four swords coming straight for him.
As he pushed the blades away from him a spear stabbed and entered into his leg. “ Funk!” Nick yelled out in pain as he broke the spear off and began to hack away at the enemy.”Ah Funk thats gotta hurt you okay.?” Zach asked still fighting. Nick said nothing but Zach could tell by his face he was in pain and anger. As the army finally arrived behind them they began to push the enemy back. “About god dam time you bastards.” Zach said pissed off and covered in blood. Cid just laughed and began killing men.
“Spread!” Blane ordered as a giant catapult shot came crashing down on the army. Blane rolled to the left dodging the giant rock. “Archers blacken the sky!” He ordered as he pulled his bow out and they released thousand of arrows, each man releasing 3 at a time. As the arrows began to crush the enemy's line they charged forward towards the 3 catapults. As men were being crushed by catapults Rachel tried her best to save as many men as she could, but was having no luck. The enemy began to retreat back by the catapults but not going any farther.”Men were close enough not to be hit by those dam catapult so I want a full sprint to the enemy and I want no one left alive.” Cid said as they began to charge.
As they charged the enemy commander began to laugh. Zach stopped in fear as a giant arrow came flying at him. He lowered his shield to take the the force. As the arrow hit it shattered on his shield launching him 20 ft back. “Ah Funk!” Zach said holding his arm in pain. Rachel ran over to him with a small medical kit. “Whats wrong?” she asked looking at him. “ I don't know I'm no Funking medic.” He said in pain. Rachel moved his hand and saw his arm was dislocated. “Ah jeez this is gonna hurt a bit.” Rachel said grabbing his arm. With a quick powerful motion Zach arm made one cracking noise and was back in place. As he got up he shacked his arm getting feeling back into. “Thanks now i gotta war to fight.” he said as he picked his shield up and ran back to the front.
Rachel smiled glad she could help someone but still hurting inside from her superiors death. Nick jumo to the side dodging a balista shot but slicing it down as it went by. “Is this all you got!” Nick said in rage hacking away making men retreat in fear. The unknown solider stood in front of the enemy commander staring him down. “no man can defeat me!” He said a she charged at him. With one motion the solider jumped and stabbed him in the throat. The commander was in shock. “Impossible...” He said as he watched the solider remove his helmet. As the solider pulled the helmet off he waved his long black hair. “You no man your a woman.” he said in shock. “Thats right.” she said as the rest of the enemy army was slaughtered.
“Lei!” Rachel said running over seeing her standing above the dead commander. Lei embraced Rachel in a hug but the joy was soon killed by a anger roar. “How dare you disgrace that army, taking another mans armor and posing at him, and being a women.” Cid said smacking her and knocking her tot he ground. The rest of the men stood in silence as Cid went off. “you are a disgrace”
“But..I.”
“not another word, gather your stuff and get back to the kingdom were I will deal with you personally.” Cid said as he ordered everyone else to set up camp. Blane could see the hatred and rage i n her eyes as she watched Cid walk away with tears in her eyes. Zach and Nick sighed as they turned and head to set up camp with the others.
Rachel stayed with Lei for a few minutes. “I'm sorry that you have to leave and that you were treated wrongly.” Rachel said hugging her as she gather her things. “It's okay I was out of line, I guess trickery deserves to get sent home.” Lei said with tears in her eyes. “You take care.” Rachel said to her as Lei began her journey back to the kingdom.
Chapter 9: Emotions
“Alright soldiers, its been a ruff and humiliating day, a day a women has disgraced our army”Cid said pacing back in for through the camp.”Sir, she had kick ass skills,she took a leader down with one blow.” A solider said standing up and facing Cid. As the soldier stood a mighty fist busted him in the face. The solider fell and Cid kicked him in the side making him cough blood up. “You make me sick.” Cid said as he walked away. Blane watched what happened and quickly rushed after him.
“Dam, i don't wanna piss Cid off now.” Zach said looking at the damage two blows did. “Well then don't be yourself.” Nick said walking away. “Not funny dude not funny.” Zach said following behind him. On their way back to there tent Zach was stopped by Rachel. “Hey, how are you felling” she said with a smile. “I'm fine.” Zach said with a cheesy smile. “Thats good, well theres something I need to tell you.” She said blushing a bit. “Yeah go ahead shoot, ask me anything you want.” He said putting his shield on his back. “Well...Um..I li...” But before she could finish Nick called out to Zach. “Hey asshole wheres my weapons!” Nick yelled pissed off. Zach turned to Rachel, “Hold that thought, I gotta go help Nick.” he said running off towards Nick.
Rachel watched him run off to his friend with a sad look in her eyes. “I worked myself all up to tell him how i feel about him but I don't get the chance.” She thought as she walked back to the medic tent. “I swear before the end of this battle I will let him know how I truly feel about him.” she said with a smile of hope as she walked into her tent. “Your swords are right were you left them”Zach said pointing to them. “My bad” Nick said picking them up and walking out.
Meanwhile Cid and Blane argued in the commanders tent. “What is your problem!” Blane said giving him a stern look. Cid just sat there saying nothing.”Answer me!” he said staring him in the eyes. Cid stood up and walked towards Blane. “My wifes pregnant, I can't have screw ups in this army, I will be home to see my baby.” Cid said pushing him out of the way. “Thats no excuse my wife 3 months pregnant and I'm still here fighting so you have no excuse.” Blane said a s Cid ignored him and walked out of the tent with a map in his hand. As he watched Cid walk out he thought of his wife, he had promised her he would not let her become a widow,but with the things that have happened he was not sure if he can keep his promise.
Becky sat in Sara's room with tears flowing from hear eyes. She looked threw images of her and Sara having fun and being best friends. How could she betray her best friend, she thought as she sat on the bed whimpering in sadness. “Becky are you alright?” A voice said coming from the door. Becky wipe tears form here eyes “ Yes I'm fine, now please leave me be” she said with a whimper. She listened for the persons footsteps to leave before she began to cry again.”I can't go through with this, Ted is a evil person I can't believe i let him talk me into this, I must make things right!”She said as she ran out of her room towards the kings room.
“men we are only a day away from the kingdom” Cid said pointing to the map.” We must strike fast before the princess is executed, or we must slay the murder's of our princess.” Cid said holding his sword. Cid walked away from the map and Blane came in front of the men. “Our strategy is to have the front line charge and retreat back drawing the enemy into a rain of arrows who will be staying at a distance waiting.” Blane said pointing to the locations. “Once in side, if we get inside, we shall hold every door and exit and find the leaders and kill them.” Blane said stepping down as the men got riled up.
Zach sat looking at the strategy. “Strategy my ass, I'm winging it.” He said to himself. “And thats why your going to die.” Nick said sitting next to him sipping his soup. “Shut up!” Zach said pushing making him to almost spill his soup. Nick gave him a irritated look and then looked back at the map. As everyone began to head to their tents for bed Zach laid out looking up at the nights sky. “Mind if I join you?” Rachel said coming up from behind him. Zach tilted his head back and looked at her, she was wearing a dress and had a warm smile on her face “Yeah sure.” Zach said making room.
As they looked up at the sky nick watched from the tent. “Lucky bastard has a girl that likes him and he don't even know it.” Nick said looking at the stars. “Don't worry Sara I'm coming to save you.”Nick said staring off into the sky. Sara sat by the bared windows looking off to the sky. It was a nice calm evening, she remembered when she was little Zach,Nick and her used to sneak out and run around and play. A tear fell from her eye as she remembered the fun times she had with them. “Please hurry.” she said as she laid in the cot with tears flowing from her eyes as she tried to sleep.
“It's beautiful isn't it?” Rachel said tilting her head and looking at Zach who was starring off into space. Rachel looked at him and began to get angry. “Hey! Are you paying any attention to me!” she said punching him in the side. Zach quickly snapped out of his trance and yelled. “Ow what the hell!” Zach said jumping up. Rachel stood up and brushed the dirt from her dress and stomped away. “What the hell?” Zach said walking back to his tent. “Smooth.” Nick said as he passed into the tent. “Shut up.” Zach said laying down in his bed and closing his eyes.
Chapter 10: Fall of a King and Betryal of a Friend
As Lei entered the castle doors she was greeted by two guards. “Have we won?” Asked a guard. Lei did not answer and kept walking towards were King Taylor was. As she entered the room she saw Becky holding the hand of the king who was pale and lying in his bed. “Is he..Dead?” Lei asked nervously as she walked closer. Becky turned and spoke to Taylor. “My lord you have a warrior from the battle her to visits.” Becky said in a soft sweet voice.
Lei walked over and knelt by the king. He looked terrible and on the break of death. “Sir we have almost reached the castle and I have some bad news.” Lei said with a tear in her eye. “They may have executed Sara already.” she said as Taylors eyes widened. Becky broke down in tears as the king held his heart and lost power to breath. “Sir!” Lei said grabbing him trying to help him. After three minutes of attempting to help Lei closed Taylors eyelids and put a the blanket over his head. “Hes..dead.” She sighed and then turned to Becky who was in tears.
“What are the orders my Queen.” She said looking at her. Becky raised her head with tears flowing from her eyes. “tell them to not return with out the enemy's head.” she said in sadness and hatred of Ted. Lei nodded and ran to the door and out to her horse. Beck sat by the bed in tears as two guards came over to help her. As Lei rode back to the army she was stopped by five soldiers from Remmes. “Look what we got here.” Said a man in a clock. “It's the women that killed the commander from Westrood.” Another said in full body armor and a battle ax. “Ha, it doesn't matter the women in their army are not allowed to fight so she wont be a threat.” Said a female soldier on her horse. Lei jumped of her horse and pulled her blade out. The five soldiers got off there horses as well and pulled out their weapons.
They all ran in at the same time and Lei blocked all five but then was hit with a bottle that knocked her unconscious. When Lei awoke she found herself in a room with Remmes flags hanging in it. “Were am I?” She asked as she saw a man standing in front of her. “You were wounded in battle Lei.” Said the man. Lei looked down and saw her side wrapped up. 'but I am not from this kingdom!” Lei said angered a bit. “Oh yes you are, don't you remember the men from your old kingdom tried to kill you so you left and joined us.” Said the man. “I don't quiet remember that, I do remember being yelled at and then ambushed.” She said holding her head. “Those bastards, trying to kill me I'll have my revenge.” She said standing up and looking at the man.
“Your gear is in the closet.” the man said exiting the room with a smile. Lei became angry and wanted revenge. Her friends had betrayed her and then tried to kill her. As Lei put her new armor on she imaged the look on everyones faces when she killed Cid and the rest of the back stabbing bastards.”Father how did it go.” Ted said looking at his father. “She believed every word, how close is the enemy?” he asked walking back to his throne room. “They are on the move they will be here by afternoon.” Ted said with a grin. “Good.” Russell said sitting in his throne.
“Wake up!” Nick said slapping Zach upside the head. Zach woke from the pain in his head.”I'm up! I'm up!” Zach yelled as he got out of bed. “You think aft weeks of being in the army you'd be used to waking up early.” Nick said throwing his necklace on and walking out of the tent. As Zach got ready Rachel walked in the tent. “Oh my god I'm so sorry.” Rachel said shielding her eyes as Zach jumped and grabbed his pants. He quickly through on his pants and shirt. “Why re you here?” Zach said putting his armor on. “I wanted to say I'm sorry for yelling at you last night, it's just i really li..” Bu before she could finish she was cut off. “Zach get your ass out her front line leaving now!” Cid ordered as he stuck his head in the tent. “Um well i got to go bye.” he said as he put on the rest of his gear and ran outside of the tent.
“Dammit!” Rachel said as she sat down on his bed. “Why am I always cut off before I tell him how I feel, it's not fair!” She pouted before getting up and leaving. As they marched the sun began to rise, and the heat began to kick in. by mid afternoon they halted. “We have arrived men.” Cid said pointing to a castle off in the distance. Just over this small hill awaits the last stand for their kingdom, it will be ruff and it will be hell, but we shall win this war and save our princess. “ Cid said raising his sword in the air. The men hooted and roared raising their weapons in the air. “This is it man, our last chance to save Sara.” Zach said looking at Nick who seemed to have a determined look on his face. “They will fall before us.” Nick said as he gripped his weapons tight.
“Move!” Cid said as the front infantry marached over the hill and left the archers in their position. As they came over the hill they could see the enemy army in huge numbers and the castle heavily defended. “You wont make it out alive.” yelled a commander of the enemy. “Charge!!” Cid yelled as they army's began to charge at each other, with blood thirsty looks in their eyes.
Chapter 11: Death of a Friend
As the army's connect the sound of steel hitting steel rung through the land. “Rah!” Zach roared as his sliced a swordsman in two. As he brought his sword up he connected with another. Zach rammed the side of his shield into the enemy and slit his throat and continued fighting. As Zach fought Nick was to his left chopping the enemy into bits. “Bring it on you weak bastards!” he yelled ad he split two men in half. Cid grabbed a soldier and smashed his head in and threw the corps at the other on coming men.
As the front line fought the archers and Blane moved in just close enough to hit the enemy. “Fire!” Blane ordered as a rain of arrows flew into the sky and came crashing down on the enemy dropping them like nothing. As men dropped Cid and the front line pressed on closer to the castle door. Blane stood on the top of the hill watching and ordering more arrow assaults. He continued giving orders and then notices less and less arrows being fired. “What the...” Blane said as he turned and saw Lei and a small group of men slaughtering archers from behind.
“You traitorous bitch!” Blane said drawing his bow and taking aim at Lei. As Blane released the arrow he grabbed another and reloaded. The arrow flew at Lei but was blocked by her shield. As the arrow broke over her shield she spotted Blane and began to ride towards him slicing the archers apart. Blane fired another arrow which hit the horse she was riding causing her to be flung off. As she hit the ground Blane drew his blade and walked towards her. Lei jumped to her feet and drew her blade and walked towards Blane with a blood thirsty look.
“I'll make you suffer for betraying me!” lei said as she circled Blane. “Betray you,you must be confused you are betraying us.” Blane said as he swung and connected with Lei's blade. Lei kicked him back trying to stay in control. “Lies all lies!” Lei screamed as sh jumped and went to slash Blane while he was down. Blane blocked the cut but felt himself sink into the ground a bit. Blane kicked her off and got to his feet as she did the same. “these are no lies this is the truth!” Blane said slashing and over powering Lei and slicing her in the shoulder. “Ah!” Lei yelled as she pulled a dagger out and stabbed Blane in the stomach.
Blane's eyes widened as he felt the pain in his stomach. As he he stumbled backwards he fell to his knees. “If I don't kill you first the poison will!” Lei said holding the dagger up which had a green liquid mixed with blood on it. “I will never fall to you.” Blane said as his eyes lowered. Lei walked over to him and put her blade to the side of his neck. “Well to bad!” Lei said as she brought her blade back ready to slice his head off in one cut. As she swung her blade towards Blane's head, the blade was blocked by a sword.
Lei stood amazed as Blane held his blade blocking the attack. As he stood she went for another strike which was blocked again. Lei began to get frustrated and started to swing recklessly. Blane blocked every attack and block one final attack before decking her in the face causing her to fall to the ground. Lei dropped her sword and fell the ground holding her face. “I'll kill you!” Lei said picking her weapon back up and charging at Blane who stood ready. As she ran with her blade over her head Blane step forward and drove his sword into her stomach. The blade went all the way through and his hands were right next to her stomach. Lei's eyes grew and she let out a shriek of pain. As Blane began to pull his blade out Lei delivered one final blow by slashing down into his back. “Ah!” Blane yelled as he fell to his knees.
Lei fell to the ground and laid there bleeding to death. Blane rose from his knees and coughed up blood and looked up to see his whole archery troop destroyed and Lei's men coming at him. As he picked his weapon up and felt dizzy from the poison and dropped it. “I shall fight to the bitter end!” Blane said as he grabbed his sword and rose up and began fighting the oncoming men. As he fought he began to be surrounded and stabbed. “So this..is the..end?” Blane said as another sword stabbed into him. Blane fell to his knees and then on his stomach as he laid there dying.
Rachel ran up the hill to check on Blane and the rest of the army. As she got to the top she saw the enemy and Blane and his men slaughtered. “Oh my god!” Rachel screamed as she looked at the gore. Rachel turned and ran towards Cid and the others to tell them what happened. As she reached Cid she was almost out of breath. Cid had dropped back into the middle to take a rest. “Cid!” Rachel cried out as he turned and looked at her. “What! I don't need no medic I'm fine!” he yelled as he picked up a small boulder and flung it at the enemy. “Blane is dead along with the archers.” she cried. Cid dropped the boulder he was about to throw and looked up to the hill to see the enemy charging down. Cid was speechless and had a small tear in his eye.
“Men defend the rear!” Cid ordered as half the army sun around to meet the enemy. “Make them pay for what they did to Blane and the archers!” Cid roared as he charged viciously at the oncoming enemy. Rachel dried her tears and ran to a soldier who was wounded and began to help him.
Chapter 12: The Power Of Friendship
Zach turned to see the on coming assault. “Shit!” Zach said as he looked at how close the castle was. He stood there blocking for 5 minutes before running towards the rear of the army. “Good luck.” Nick said right before he took off. Nick turned and saw a horrific sight. As he fought he saw 3 giant soldiers walking from the castle. “Feel my wraith.” Russell said standing in the window of the castle. Ted stood by the door listening to the sound of people being killed. “They are getting close.” Ted thought as he ran down to the dungeon were Sara was.
“Looks as your friends my succeed in trying to save you.” Ted said looking at Sara who had dried tears on her cheeks and was in the dark corner of the cell. “Don't worry I shall personally make sure they don't succeed.” he said walking away towards the armory. Sara sat with her knees pulled to her chest. “Please hurry.” she said as she put her head down. Ted entered the armory and grabbed his blade and pulled it out of its sheath. “They shall fall to my blade.” he said as he walked off.
Rachel began to bandage a soldier as the army from the rear got closer. “Look out!” Yelled Zach as he blocked a blade going straight down towards Rachel. Zach stabbed his blade into the guy and kicked him away. “Thanks.” She said smiling looking at Zach. As Zach smiled back he was decked by a club and fell to the ground. “Zach!” Rachel screamed running over to his unconscious body.
She checked his pulse to make sure he was still alive then turned to see on coming men. “Please Zach wake up!” She said crying over his chest. Zach's eyes opened slowly as he felt a sharp pain in his head. “Ah, what the hell happened!” He said putting his hand on his hand. “I'm so happy your alive.” Rachel said drying tears from her eyes. “Wow, didn't know you cared so much.” He said looking at her. “About that, Zach I love yo...” But before she could finish a blade went through her chest. Zach looked her in the eyes and could tell what she had said. “Rach...” He said as blood dripped from her mouth. “You bastards!” Zach roared as he got up and began hacking away at the enemy. “I'll kill you all!” he said as he bashed a guys head in. The army from the rear quickly got smaller as Zach went on a killing rampage.
Nick jumped out of the way of the giant sword. “God damn giants!” Nick said moving to the left dodging the giants swing. Nick stood still and studied the giants move closely waiting for the one fault. The giant went for a stab, but Nick jumped causing the blade to stick into the ground. Nick saw his opening and ran up the giants sword and made a slashing X on the giants head taking it clean off. Nick jumped down as the giants body landed not even a foot away from him. He then made eye contact with the second giant who had a helmet and an ax for a weapon. “Your next chubby.” He said a she ran at him.
The giant swung with out any thought trying to kill Nick. Nick took quick advantage to this and dodge every attack studying the giants every move just like the other one. As he studied the giant he noticed the closes death shot would be its throat were the helmet didn't protect. Nick dodged another attack wondering how he was going to get up that high. He than smirked and threw his red blade into the giants stomach. The giant showed slight pain and stumbled a bit. “Say goodbye!” Nick said jumping on his sword and thrusting his blade into the giants throat. The giant fell with Nick standing on it's chest. “To easy.” He said grabbing his swords and going back to killing soldiers.
Russell stood by the window in shock as he watched the two friends of the girl he had kidnapped slaughter his army.”This can't be happening.” he said as he lef this window and went to the case wear his soul edge was. “I shall kill these little bastards myself.” He said as he grabbed the soul edge out and did a few slicing and stabbing motions. “Father, they are almost to the doors.” Ted said looking at his father. “Hold them as long as you can.” He said as he prepared to fight. Ted did as he was ordered and ran to the army messenger and told him the orders as he took off down a hall. Zach stood over Rachel's dead body covered in blood and breathing hard.”I'll make them pay for all the friends i lost from this war.” he said clenching his blade tightly. He then looked at Rachel's body, her eyes were wide open. “Rest in peace, you were a great friend.” he said closing her eyes.
