RE: Ban Wars: CHAPTER 8 is up, as is Info Faq! Check it out! And please post!
No more wait! Its time! Its finally here! Its finally going to be revealed! CHAPTER NINE!!!!!
~Beginning of Entry Ten~
Celebi and the others ran quickly, covering great distance. They came to a small hill, and over the hill, was a group of enemy soldiers. They charged out, attacking the recruits of soldiers. The soldiers fought valiantly, but were easily bested. A hill stood behind them, and Galefail ran up the hill. From the hill, one could see more planes, but off in the horizon stood a large chain of mountains, and in the center of those stood a opulent castle, reaching thousands of stories high.
“Guys! I found where Seth is! Hurry!”
As they ran down the hill, a violent tremor was felt in the Earth, throwing them down. A fissure in the ground erupted, and out of it floated Scampy and Heavenly Spoon :F. He laughed.
“Well...your leader is captured-and you expect to just waltz in and take him back?”
His large spoon began to form in the air. He jumped off of Scampy, creating a large after shock, sending waves of earth rippling towards the group.
“YOU WILL HAVE TO DEFEAT ME FIRST!”
Galefail ran forward.
“Guys! Take care of Scampy! I will deal with Heavenly Spoon :F!”
Galefail ran at Heavenly Spoon :F, and both swung their large weapons, clashing. A loud ringing was heard from the joining of the two pieces of steel. This continued often, with neither of them showing signs of giving up. Heavenly Spoon :F jumped back, and in mid air, swung his spoon in a full circle, uprooting a rather large chunk of earth. The rest of the dirt that was not uprooted instead formed a large wave, flying towards Galefail. He merely took a defensive stance and timed his swing, bringing the hammer down in the middle of the wave, destroying it, sending chunks of dirt flying.
“Gotta do better Spoon!”
~~
“H-how...why? Why are you...like this?”
??: You wouldn't understand.
“Damn it what did they do to you?!”
I struggled to break free of the chains, my hand mere inches from grabbing ???. ??? backed up, laughing. I hung my head in shame, my hair falling in front of my face, covering my anger and sadness. A tear dropped, and I struggled violently, trying to break free yet again. Still unable, I collapsed on the ground, defeated.
~~
“Electimortar! Now!”
Pokechamp tossed his lance to 42 Chocolate. Celebi23 threw two stun grenades, angering Scampy, forcing him to rear his confused head backwards. Electimortar set the tip of the lance on fire, and fired a bolt of electricity at Scampy. He held it. 42 Chocolate fired, into the bolt of electricity. Electimortar stopped holding it, creating a path without air, as the electricity pushed it to the sides. The air collapsed in behind the lance, pushing it faster and faster. All of this happened near the speed of light, and the lance plunged through Scampy's neck, forcing him to roar. Pokechamp was running, and jumped off of Scampy's back, grabbing his lance in mid air. He spun, throwing it back. This time, he had a chain attached, so when he landed on Scampy's back, he ran forward, up the neck, and he jumped over the head, landing on the ground in front of Scampy.
“NOW!”
He held his lance tight, which forced Scampy's head down, preventing him from attacking. 42 Chocolate loaded another clip, and began firing the arrows at the head. Celebi ran from the side, and he jumped, using his dual katanas to slice the neck of Scampy clean off. They cheered.
“Thats the way to do it! Ye-ah!”
While they were cheering, three heads grew in place of the single head. Pokechamp turned to see the three-headed Scampy.
“What!?!”
As they stared at the rising Scampy, Galefail managed to smash Heavenly Spoon :F into a rock. He ran at Spoon, and jumped, bringing his hammer down on the rock. Spoon managed to roll out of the way. Heavenly Spoon :F stabbed his spoon into the ground and lifted his hands, and thousands of rocks emerged from the ground, and started to form a sort of giant rock golem around him. Galefail jumped back, nervous. He yelled to Pokechamp.
“How are things over there? We got a giant rock covered Heavenly Spoon :F!”
“Over here things are great! Just a three-headed Scampy!”
Galefail bit his lip and ran at Heavenly Spoon :F, and for the first time, he split his hammer into two smaller sledgehammers, each on a strong chain that he held in each hand. He swung the first chain, and the hammer slammed into a large rock on the leg, creating a large gash in it. He repeated his to the other side, but when a rock was destroyed, a new one would emerge from the ground to take it's place. Galefail thought to himself.
There has GOT to be a better way to do this...maybe if I...hit at the chest where...Spoon is? Maybe...
He shrugged and ran at the golem, and he jumped into the air. He jumped and spun at a diagonal angle, holding the chains tight. Because of this, they spun quickly around him while he spun, repeatedly hitting the chest, breaking away the rock. When a rock broke, he threw one of the sledgehammers at the open space, preventing another rock from taking it's place. He swung his other sledgehammer in that same spot, creating another hole, and keeping the hammer there. He pulled himself in, kicking his hammers in, landing himself inside. Spoon floated above, and Galefail began to spin, the hammers smashing away countless rocks, faster than the rocks could replace. Soon, the golem began to shrink in stature, and Spoon came into swinging view. Galefale spun them close together, combining them, before throwing it into the air. He jumped up, grabbing it, spinning, landing the blunt part of it in Spoon's gut. Spoon flew out of the golem, skidding across the earth. Unable to defend himself or the golem during his assault, he took heavy damage. He stood still, and his spoon appeared to him again.
“Galefail! Why do you fight for them? You are friends with the mods more than anyone else, no? Your article is on the front page. I love that article by the way, though I feel some of your lists were off. Like Garchomp/Dialga. Something seems weird about that list...”
“ENOUGH! I was just going with what was popular in my area!”
“Yeah but still. I still think you should drop a 1-1 Claydol for a 1-1 Uxie, so your Uxie line is 2-1.”
(Wait-am I seriously doing this in my story? GTFO!!!!!1!!one1!!)
Galefail, irritated, ran at Heavenly Spoon :F, who lunged forward. Both weapons clashed again, creating a loud ringing noise. Galefail swung the hammer, but Spoon merely jumped, avoiding it easily, bringing his utensil down. Galefail managed to hold up his tool, blocking it. The force however pushed him to his knees, struggling to hold it at where it was.
Must...fight...back....
Heavenly Spoon :F laughed at Galefale's struggle, pushing down harder and harder, making it more difficult to resist.
“Give up Galefail, and I will spare your life! At one cost! You must join us!”
At hearing this, something ticked inside Galefail. He moved a foot slightly, giving him more ability to force off the ground. And he did so, with much force. He started to stand, pushing against Heavenly Spoon :F. Spoon began to sweat slightly, trying his best to hold Galefail down. When he had the opportunity, Galefail pushed Heavenly Spoon :F's spoon into the air, and he spun and violently hit HS in the stomach. As Spoon was sent flying back, Galefail shot out the dual chained hammers, one of them looping around Spoon's injured stomach, and latching tight. Galefail jumped, and pulled the chain over his head, pulling Spoon suddenly the opposite way, into the air, over Galefail, and crashing into the ground, creating a crater.
“I wont ever join you!”
Galefail combined his dual chained hammers again, running, and then jumping above Heavenly Spoon :F, bringing the hammer down. Spoon managed to block with his-ummm-spoon(I have a thing for utensils used for cereal and soup...lol). The spoon shattered, causing Heavenly Spoon :F to gasp in pain. He began to fade away.
“Why Galefail? What do you have against us? We are doing-”
He gasped in pain.
“Our job...”
With that, he disappeared. Galefail sighed and set his hammer into the ground.
“I...I really...just killed Heavenly Spoon :F...”
While Galefail sat, the others were having a difficult time defeating Scampy. Whenever one head was destroyed, two more would grow in its place. Meaning-the original single headed Scampy was now a 12 headed dragon currently. And each head had a mind of its own, able to shoot fire and bite and move and the like. The middle head targeted 42 Chocolate. It opened it's mouth, spraying a large amount of fire. 42 Chocolate barely dodged.
“This is a problem! This cutting off heads senselessly isn't working! We need a plan!”
Celebi23 jumped backwards, avoiding another burst of fire.
“I got it! Do you have some sort of grappling arrow?”
42 Chocolate nodded, and loaded one. Celebi23 ran towards Scampy. He jumped up on the neck, making his way on top of the head.
“Fire it at me, right now!”
42 Chocolate simply nodded, putting his trust in Celebi. When the grappling arrow got in range, He jumped, catching it in mid air. While in mid air, he threw it down at the ground, so it caught one of the head's by the neck, dragging it down, preventing it from moving around to resist. Electimortar rushed next to Celebi who cut the head off.
“Burn it Electimortar!”
He nodded, setting the part of the neck where the head would grow back on fire, burning it permanently, halting the growth of two more heads. The entire group grinned.
“We all gotta do that! Take each head down, one at a time!”
They repeated this, taking down each head, one by one, until Scampy had just one head left. At this point, Scampy was enraged, his fire now a scorching blue. He roared and began to lift into the air. 42 Chocolate was quick to act, running under Scampy, firing a grappling hook around the leg of the dragon, lifting up with Scampy.
“HeeeLP!!!”
Galefail heard this cry, running towards the group. He dragged his hammer in the ground, and swiftly brought it up, bringing a large rock out of the ground, shooting him towards Scampy. As he flew under Scampy, he fired the chained hammers again, latching on one of the back legs. Using this, he swung himself up, onto the tail, and running onto the body. He reached over the side, using the chains to hold himself, and grabbed the line of the grappling arrow, and once he was on top of Scampy again, he pulled 42 Chocolate up with brute force.
“Thanks Galefail. When did you get-this strong? And fast? And skilled?”
He laughed.
“Later. We must destroy Scampy now.”
42 Chocolate nodded.
“So-whats the plan then?”
“Uh...”
~~
I struggled once again, unable to break the chains. Staring at ???, I could only manage to spit in that general direction, to weak to do anything else. My sword was in a different room I was told, but it did not bother me. Each time a mod came into the room to mock me, I thought more and more of my plan, formulating my escape. Whenever a mod would come in, another guard would join them, and bring a small amount of food. After about five minutes, the mod would leave, but the guard would stay, and he would finish with the food. He always, without his knowledge, sat within range of my outreached arm, and when he would least expect it, I would reach it forward, and grab his neck, and begin choking him. After he would pass out, I would drag up closer, grab the key, unlock the chains, grab my sword and run out. This plan was about to come into action. The door to the cell creaked open, and I watched. It was not any normal mod. It was someone far more important.
Kekeke...your resistance is futile...kekeke...you have proven yourself a worthy opponent, but I will tell you now...kekeke...your small band of heroes...kekeke...will be crushed before they reach this castle...and then...kekeke...you will be executed in front of the masses of members...and without you...kekeke...no one will try to stop us...
He laughed that sinister laugh, and it angered me how he did it so often. It was even a speech impediment, it was like he was PURPOSELY playing the role of the bad guy...oi. Back to the plan. He left, and two normal mods remained. However, no guard came.
“What-I don't get food or something?”
The mods laughed.
“No. Not yet.”
In a matter of minutes, an entire squad of soldiers were in the room, and they individually chained each of my arms and legs, before undoing the chains that bound me to the wall. They picked me up and led me outside, the harsh glare of the sun momentarily blinding me. They led me down a stony path, with cracks in the stones, making it difficult to keep balance. Soon, I was on an open plateau, and on the edge of the plateau, overlooking a massive village, was a noose. A hangman's noose. My eyes widened quickly.
“What? He said that-that I would be executed after my team was defeated! W-wh-why now?!”
The soldiers pushed me forward.
“Killing you now would kill morale, making it easier to finish the master's plans.”
I had to act soon. I stared around quickly. The noose was operated by a metal bar. From the looks of it, the bar was rusted, therefore easy for it to break off with a swift kick. They slowly led me up the stairs to the trap door and noose. I passed the bar, and the world began to move in slow motion. I did as well it seemed, elbowing one of the guards in the stomach, and kicking the bar, breaking it, into the air. I took the hand that I used to elbow the guard, and I grabbed the bar, bringing it down swiftly on the other guard holding my arm. I swung it violently, hitting the third guard, and I kicked the fourth guard before repeatedly beating him. I took all their keys, undid each chain, and pushed them over the edge of the plateau, to their deaths. I stood, panting. The mods saw this act of retaliation, and three mods arrived in front of me. I bit my lip.
Taking one mod by myself is hard enough-but how can I take on three, all on a team, against me, weak, hungry, and with a rusted bar?
The mods each showed their power. The middle mod, B-Ray, flared a large pillar of fire around him, and lifted into the air, using fire as thrust. The mod on his right lifted his hands, and from the side of the plateau rushed a wave of water, which surrounded him, lifting him to the top of a spinning torrent of water. The mod on the left held out his arms, and a bright red flare enveloped his arms, and he held out his hand, and a beam of the red flare shot out, exploding violently. He lifted into the air as well.
~~
As Galefail stood on Scampy's back, he turned, and saw these various colors and elements in the air.
“Those are mods! Seth must be challenging them! Alone! We must hurry!”
He turned and looked.
“Hmmm...”
He took his hammer, and brought it down forcefully on Scampy's neck, forcing Scampy back onto the ground. He turned to the others.
“Seth is in trouble! I have an idea of how we can get there!”
The others nodded and hopped onto Scampy's back as well. Galefail took Pokechamp's lance and drove it into Scampy's neck, causing the dragon to roar in pain.
“42 Chocolate. Fire a grappling arrow right there.”
He pointed to the ground, and soon an arrow attached to a powerful tether lodged itself into the ground. Galefail jumped down, took the arrow, and walked around the neck of Scampy, jumping back on. He took Pokechamp's lance out, and grabbed the tether. He ordered 42 Chocolate to dislodge that entire arrow show, and he took both ends of the rope. He waited, and pulled back, swiftly and painfully, causing the rope to cut circulation from his hands, but also forcing Scampy's head and neck up.
“INTO THE AIR!”
He pulled back again, in the same fashion, and Scampy had no choice to obey, lifting into the air. He turned his arms to the left, turning Scampy towards the mountains, and the castle. He took the lance, and held both ends of the rope in one hand. He drove the lance into a different spot, quickly.
“FORWARD!”
Scampy roared in pain again, but flew forward, at an escalating pace. They were soon in the mountain range, easily avoiding the mountains, before coming into viewing distance of the castle.
~~
Each mod readied a powerful attack, while I could barely stand. Exhaustion had forced me to my knees, and I watched, possibly for the last time, an attack thrown at me.
~~
Galefail took the lance one last time. He spun it, and jabbed it in the neck.
“FIRE!”
Scampy obeyed yet again, firing the blue flames at the mods, who managed to block, but were pushed back by the rushing Scampy, who crashed into the castle. The mods had crashed with him, but before the crash, the group had jumped down, landing next to me. Electimortar dropped to his knees.
“Seth! Are you all right?!?”
I coughed from a mixture of pain, hunger, and exhaustion.
“N-no...”
He helped me to my feet.
“We have to go!”
I shook my head.
“My sword-is in that castle...”
Pokechamp, Galefail, and 42 Chocolate nodded. Simultaneously, they turned and smiled.
“We can go get that for ya.”
They turned and ran inside the now crumbling castle, looking for the sword. Celebi turned to me.
“What-happened in there? Did they-torture you or something?”
Unable to formulate words, I merely shook my head, letting out a slight moan. The three that ran inside soon joined me, carrying my sword.
“Did you-find out about anything? Anyone?”
This time, I managed to speak.
“You guys-they-they-”
I choked on my words, making it more and more difficult each time to speak what I wanted. As I was about to finish, I choked painfully again, finally fainting from the exhaustion.
~End of Entry Ten~
, and I may take you up on that.
