Enemies Unite
It was a cold Thursday morning; Silver was out by himself in a secluded forest. Last night Silver found a note from his half brother Sparow, who wanted to meet him here in this spot alone at exactly eight in the morning It’s been a full two months since Silver had seen his brother, so of course he rushed out to see what Sparow wanted.
“You are
so predictable,” a male voice that did not belong to Sparow said from the
forest, “Only you would be dumb enough to walk into such an obvious trap.”
“Show
yourself,” Silver placed his right hand on his sword, ready to draw his sword
at a moments notice.
“Last
time you got lucky,” Vertex said as he stepped into the clearing
“But
this time, will be different,” Crimmn also stepped out of the forest and joined
Vertex.
“And we
brought a handsome man to help us too,” X-plosion joined the two boys in front
of Silver.
“Face
it, you can’t hope to beat all of us,” the fourth man who stepped out of the
forest was tall and muscular. He had blond hair and wore crimson red armor. He
was no stranger to Silver; it was Raven’s running buddy, the powerful Crimson.
“I
didn’t think it was possible Crimson, but you managed to find even uglier
people to hang out with,” Silver laughed to himself, “ Where is that freak of
nature you hang out with anyways?”
“I
wouldn’t worry about Raven if I was you,” Crimson drew his sword, “Because us
four will be the last thing you see in this world.”
“Four
against one, that hardly seems fair,” Silver drew his own sword, “For you guys.”
“I can
handle him myself,” Vertex stepped forward, “I won’t fall for his same trick
again. And we all know his fire magic is useless against me.”
“Simple
minded fool,” with a flick of his wrist Silver sent a bleu fireball towards
Vertex feet, burning the grass at Vertex’s feet.
“Hot,
hot, hot,” Vertex quickly retreated to a safe spot, while Crimson stepped
forward and easily stomped out the small fire.
“Watch
how its done Vertex,’ Crimmn said in between fits of laughter, “This time I
won’t let Silver use his fire tricks on my skeletons.”
Silver
watched as bony hands started popping out of the ground all around him. It was
only a matter of moments before ten skeletons surrounded him.
“Must
you guys make it so easy, it’s embarrassing.” Silver said as he easily sliced
off the head off each skeleton that charged towards him.
“Boys,
let me show you how it’s done,” X-plosion sauntered over towards Silver,
“Hunnie, you wouldn’t hurt little old me, now would you?”
“I’m
sorry,” Silver grabbed X-plosion hand, before she could plant her hidden remote
mine on him. “My wife said she kill me if I ever looked at another women
again.”
“You are
no fun,” X-plosion said in a pouting voice, as she retreated to a safe
distance.
Crimson
put his hand over his face, obviously embarrassed by the efforts of his
comrades. “Crimmn, I think it’s about time you summon something else.”
Crimmn
nodded his approval, and as the eyes on his skull staff glowed bright a new
creature rose from the Earth. This time a small skeleton like wolf stood in
front of Silver.
“You
expect this little dog to do any better,” Silver questioned, staring at the
strange creature in front of him.
The
foursome did not get a chance to answer before the skeleton wolf charged
towards Silver. Silver sighed, wondering if this was the best the foursome
could do. With one swift blow, Silver sliced through the wolf with ease.
And
that’s when it hit Silver, as Silver’s sword came in contact with a metal
object inside the skeleton wolf, he was rocked back by a huge explosion. The
explosion was strong enough to send Silver flying back fifteen feet back, and
heavily wounded. Most of Silver’s top was now missing, replaced with bloody
shrapnel filled chest. Silver left arms also lay limp by his side, probably
broken from the fall. The only good news is that it wasn’t his sword arm, but
silver was really in no condition to fight anymore as it was anyways.
“That
was my idea,” Vertex said with a smile, “Of course you can thank the lovely
X-plosion for the bomb planted inside of the skeleton.”
“Why,
thank you hunnie,” X-plosion said as she kissed Vertex on the cheek.
“I think
it’s time we end this,” Crimson said as he stepped forward. “I’m sure you’ll
love this finishing movies. Fire Dragon!”
Crimson
raised his fist in the air, producing a large crimson red fire dragon, which
was twice the size of Silver Twin Dragons put together.
Silver
was too wounded to move out of the way, all he could do is watch as the huge
dragon bared down on him.
“Ice-fire!”
Just as
the dragon was about to engulf Silver it was intercepted by the trademark
attack of his younger brother. Instantly the dragon froze, and fell to the
ground, shattering into a million pieces.
“Guess
who I found during my morning walk,” Sapphire said as she rushed up to Silver,
“Oh you are injured, don’t worry, we take it from here.”
Sapphire
was dressed in her usual sapphire blue armor, Her golden blond hair seemed to
sparkle in the sunlight, but the concerned look on her face was unmistakable.
“I can’t
believe you fell for such an obvious trap,” Sparow walked out of the forest,
followed closely by his wife Ruby.
The two
of them did not look any different from two months ago. Sparow was still
dressed in his black ninja outfit, concealing all his features. Ruby still
worse risky ruby red armor, he ruby red hair and fiery red eyes showed off her
natural beauty that could only be matched by her beautiful sister Sapphire.
“Oh I
want the mysterious one,” X-plosion said as she spotted Sparow step out the
forest.
Sparow
rolled his eye, “Great how do I always get stuck with your fights, Silver?”
“So who
do you want sis, the necro or the nerd,” Ruby asked her sister.
Sapphire
thought for a moment, “I take the necro.”
“Good, I
was hoping I get the nerd,” Ruby said as she cracked her knuckles.
“Guess
that means Crimson, you are mine,” Silver said as he stood up with the help of
his wife.
“You
should rest,” Sapphire said in a concerned voice.
“No,
I’ll be fine,” silver reassured his wife.
The
match ups were set, Sparow faced off against X-plosion, Ruby matched up against
Vertex, Sapphire squared off against Crimmn, while Silver was left with
Crimson.
“Hi there handsome,” X-plosion
said as she snuggled up to Sparow. “You wouldn’t want to fight a delicate girl
like me, would you?”
Sparow sighed, “You obviously
don’t know me very well.”
With a swift motion Sparow drew
his sword and slashed X-plosion across the chest.
“You actually attacked me, what
kind of barbarian are you,” X-plosion said in a shocked voice.
“I’m just getting warmed up,”
Sparow said as he wiped his blade clean, ready to strike again.
“You are crazy!” X-plosion
quickly ran away from Sparow, wanted nothing to do with a real fight.
“Hello Ruby, princess of
Trinity.” Vertex said as he approached Ruby, “I know everything about you, you
can’t hope to win. Not with my lab coat which nullifies all your fire magic.”
“I hate you nerd types,” Ruby
reared back and slugged Vertex right in the jaw, sending him tumbling to the
dirt. “Always think you know everything, how annoying. Now get up so I can make
you remember your school day when the bullies use to pick on you.”
“What an Amazon,” Vertex said as
he got back to his feet and wiped himself clean. “I have no desire to fight a
fist fight with you, I will withdraw for now.”
“Chicken!” Ruby yelled as Vertex
calmly walked away.
“You don’t stand a chance
against my undead,” Crimmn said calmly as he rose his staff high in the air.
Sapphire yawned.
“You dare mock me,” Crimmn said
with anger as the eyes on his skull staff started to glow.
“Can you speed this up already,
I’m worried about my husband,” Sapphire said as she focused her attention on
Crimmn.
“I would be more concerned with
your own well being.”
The ground beneath Sapphire’s
feet started to shake, as the earth parted to give away to two bony hands that
grabbed onto Sapphire’s ankles. The hands kept a firm grasps on Sapphire as
three more skeletons slowly climbed from the dirt, sword and shields in hand.
“I can see you are shaking with
fear,” Crimmn said in a sinister voice, “Maybe if you beg nicely, I make sure
my skeletons give you a quick death.”
“Last time I faced you I played
the damsel in distress, but this time,” A gust of wind surrounded Sapphire, “I
have no time for games.”
The tornado of wind around
Sapphire began to expand around her, picking up the skeletons high in the air
in the process. The skeletons were quickly ripped apart inside the massive wind
tornado, reducing them to nothing but bones.
“… You are right, I don’t think
I should be playing with you,” Crimmn said slowly as he took a giant step
backwards from the gusting tornado of wind and bones, “I’m a kind man, you
should go check on your husband now.”
Crimmn turned of his hind feet
and made a quick exit.
“Just lay down your sword now,”
Crimson demanded, “You are in no condition to fight, and even I would feel
sorry taking your life in this condition.”
“You are over confident in your
abilities,” Silver said as he drew his sword with his good arm, “I am still
able to beat you, even without my left arm.”
“I think you are the one who is
overconfident,” Crimson said, drawing his sword, “I gave you a chance to live,
but you didn’t want to take it, so be it.”
Crimson was the first to charge,
a rookie mistake. Silver learned from your father you never make a head on
attack against your enemy without first judging their capabilities as a
fighter. Crimson was confident with Silver’s injury he was no match for the big
man, he was wrong. Silver didn’t need his left arm to beat this threat, easily
he sidestepped Crimson charge, and at the same time delivered a quick kick to
the back of Crimson head, sending him falling to the dirt.
“Lucky blow,” Crimson dusted
himself off, and charged a second time.
Silver knew Crimson, wouldn’t
realized his error in thinking unless Silver made his point that he was capable
of fighting still. Crimson swung his sword high, hoping to take off Silver
head, instead Silver ducked and with blinding quick speed drew his own sword,
and channeled all his magic into one blow, a fiery slash right across the
chest. Even with Crimson’s chest armor, the shear force of the fire pushed him
back a couple of feet.
“So you want to play with fire?”
Crimson question as he raised his arm, producing another large fire dragon.
“Enough, its over Crimson,” the
voice of Sapphire said from behind.
Silver turned around to see
Sapphire, Ruby and Sparow; all having finished their opponents were closing in
on Crimson.
“Since when did I become the
damsel in distress?” Silver questioned.
“Don’t worry, you’ll always be
my hero,” Sapphire said with a warm smile.
“You think I’m afraid of you
four, I can take you all out in one blow,” Crimson said as the fire dragon
above his head grew to twice its original size.
“Enough, I take it from here
Crimson,” a voice said from the safety of the forest.
“Raven,” Sparow said with anger,
recognizing the voice of his other half brother.
“Glad to see you haven’t
forgotten me,” Raven said as he stepped out of the forest.
“You!” Ruby yelled with sudden
anger, “You will pay for what you did to my husband!”
Ruby charged towards Raven, but only
got half way before being knocked back with a large lightning blast from the
forest edge, sending Ruby hurling towards the dirt.
A second figure stepped out of
the forest and joined Raven by his sword.
“Not him again,” Silver said
with regret as he stared into the face of the man he could never forget.
