Chapter 12: the battle begins

The day passed fast soon due to Layla training with Slotter and I helping her but when dark hit everyone want to bed including me but unlike everyone I slept outside under a tree next to my bike looking up to the stars it was sad to see the stars had lost the shine that I remembered when I was younger i seen fell asleep after that looking up at them stars but my rest didn't last long I heard footsteps coming to me so I shot up drawling my revolver at whoever was walking up to me Slade held up his hands stopping and with a smile he said same team pup I smiled and lowered my colt holstering it Slade what you doing up out here so late Slade walked and sat next to me and looked up at the stars it's a shame he said when I was a boy those stars shined like little diamonds in the sky but know days they look small like their light is going out I to looked up sadly yea I remembered them to I bet they shined brighter when you was a kid tell me, Slade, is what the teach us in school what truly happened in the civil war and the wars that followed Slade looked down to me but his eyes had a fare and distant look in them like he was remembering the past I was only a child when the civil war started and by the time it was done I had joined it I was a young foolish boy trying to find his way I was on the rebel side the reason I was fighting wasn't to keep slaves no it was to keep my land and to prove that the we ant the government servant no we the people are the true rollers of this land and the government is are servants I want throw the ranks fast due to my smarts and the fact that my man trusted me by the time the war was over I had put many men in the ground be it friend, family and the enemy good man died for what they thought was right but what's the old saying how war is remembered all depends on the victor not the defeated don't get me wrong pup there was bad man on both sides of the civil war and yes there was a man who didn't want to give their property away and yes they thought slaves were there property but I think all men are born equal no matter their skin color but he shrugged what I believe is my opinion and every person is entitled to their beliefs and opinions if they're wrong is a whole another story as for the other wars yes they teach you right we won by the blood of many good young man this doesn't even cover how us half-bloods played rules in many wars and what monsters did but ant it about time I looked up to the moon it was about morning I nodded standing up I brushed off my pants saying indeed it's about time for the dead to speak again he nodded and leaned back resting against the tree good luck he said I nodded and I disappeared and reappeared outside the wall I pulled off my necklace and took out my switchblade pushing the button and appearing in my right hand was the bident and in the left was a curved dagger I looked up to the moon and in Greek I started to speak dead men tell no tales the dead don't feel nore do they hurt and with the bident I started to draw in the dirt a circle around me as I kept on talking the dead don't smile nore do they frown the dead don't laugh nore do they feel anger I finished the circle and I stabbed the bident in the middle of the circle when I did my eyes flashed and started to glow bright green and a green light want from my hands down the bident I to the ground and from the tip of the bottom blade came many green lines that shout out and stopped in the circle I kept on chanting I am the hand of death and undeath I am a reaper and a guardian of the dead I command over the death I work in the shadows to serve the light when I said that shadows started to dance on the walls it looked like screaming souls both human and monster and it got a hole lot colder to the point I could see my breath and my dagger started to glow green I am Hunter Nekros prince of the underworld I call upon the souls in this land to serve and protect when I said that a light fog came and spread out from my bident and ran down the hill it stopped at the tree line the fog came up to about my ankle, and appearing in my hand from my dagger was a ghostly green guitar and appearing on my head was a dark black cowboy hat I started to play a sad lonely toon when I did the fog and shadows seemed to move and sway with the music and I started to sing in English there was one a man who sang his last breath he sang his heart out but there was no one to listen to his song only the night sky was his only company the sky was so moved by this man's song that Artemis dropped from the moon Artemis asked the man y he sung a song so sweet and sad alone the man smiled at her and said these few words cuz I have no one and nothing I only had this guitar and the only company I have is the sky it's the only listener that has listened sense start to finish they night sky wants nothing from me and I am sorry to say but this is my last song Artemis asked y and the man made her a sad but happy smile cuz I am a dead man the only reason I haven't passed on is cuz I wanted to sing this last song to the night sky as a thank you for listening to my songs for this long and I am happy to go to my grave knowing you liked my song with those who words the man disappeared forever but the night sky never forget the man and his songs and every night the night sky sings the song from a old man's soul gave her and it soothes her soul and anyone who looks at the nights sky and feels at peace and content it's cuz you hear the song cuz nothing soothes the soul like music I lowered my head so my hat covered my eyes and waited and waited not playing or move time passed and the sun slowly started to rize up but the fog didn't go away and like like a switch what would have been a bright beautiful morning turned into a dark cloudy sky which made everything look dark and ominous but I didn't move I could hear people on the wall moving but I just stood there my head down the fog moving all around me and the shadows dancing behind me that ghostly guitar still in my hands then I heard it the sound of a army of monsters coming I smiled an evil smile and threw my guitar into the air when it left my hands that green ghostly fog started to get sucked into my curved dagger and when it was only the dagger which was falling straight down over me and right when it was about to plunge into my head a long shadowy hand cot it in the air and the curved dagger extended into the sickle sword it simple floated above my head slowly spinning the foot steps was getting closer I started to chuckle evilly and in a honting cold voice that came from everywhere filled with killing intent I said come.. Come to your graves come embrace your deaths let the cold hand of death take you away from this place and when I said that I looked up my eyes had a bright green hellfire in them and a crazy smile was on my face I grabbed the bident and when my hand touched it the bident started to glow red and forming from this red glow was a fiery obsidian electric guitar I raced my right hand into the air and me the rock in role hand sine and swung my hand down strumming the first town and when I did a huge shock wave came from me the fog started sink into the ground and bones started to rise from the ground behind me my shadow was looming over me it was huge and where eyes should be there were two glowing green balls of fire and my sickle sword was flowing in its chest I started to strum my guitar and with every string and toon the bones around me started to rise up more and started to form into skeletons both human and monster ant I standing in the middle of this forming skeleton army I started to stomp my feet and headbang and like fans at a rock concert the skeletons started to stomp their feet and some would even headbang with me I seen charging up the hill was a army of hundreds ants almost all of them had bone armor and they were pissed but I wasn't worried and I didn't stop playing and appearing at the top of my guitar was a huge blade like my bident my shadow behind me raised its hand and pointed at the army of ants and from the tip of his fingers shot out shadow strings all these shadow strings want to every skeleton when these shadow strings struck there bodys a bright green light started to come from them and when the light faded all the skeletons where gone standing in there place was a ghostly green body's over their skeletons and all of them looked the same like when they were alive hell they even had thoughts and had there weapons and armor from what they died in and in that cold voice of mine I said go protect what you hold dear and get your revenge for what they had done to you I will keep your spirits so don't worry all the half-blood spirits looked to me and yelled thank your and the spirit of the ants clicked and snapped at me happily and like a stampede all the spirits charged at this army of ants ripping and slaughtering them this army of ants I didn't add more to are ranks cuz I didn't want to waste to much power this spell was already killing my power and we still had the crusaders to deal with I slowly walked throw this battle like I was the grim reaper just there to collect souls one particularly large ant charged throw the army of spirits just to charge at me I didn't stop playing nore did I stop moving on the contrary I started to change at this ant to and I was in range it swung its head at me but I knee slid under it's neck and I stabbed up as I was sliding leaning back I didn't stop playing and the forward momentum of this huge ant and me sliding made for one bloody combo when I was past it my face and clothes was covered in dark green ants blood and guts added on top of all this I still had that crazy joker smile on my face the ant disintegrated behind me I slowly stood up looking around what was left over of the ants was being eaten and killed I chuckled saying man I love rock in role and I started to walk back up the hill I didn't stop playing I let the dead have there fun cuz after they would all go back to rest or whatever I was about halfway to the wall when my valuable detector started screaming from all behind me I turned just in time to see about a hundred arrows being shot at me and all of there tips had a green substance on it my shadow wrapped its arms around me shielding me with it's body from all these arrows there's arrows fell all around me a lot missed me but a lot also bounced off my shadow luckily poison doesn't bother my shadow another volley of arrows flow at me but this time my shadow didn't need to protect me all the spirit ants swarmed in front of me and my shadow farming a skeleton wall these arrows sank into there bones but not going through completely and swarming around me were all the half-blood spirits many of them had shields and they held up their shields for a shield wall and one of them said we will take you back to the wall no need but thank you mate I will be replacing the spell on you all know places rest assured your friends and family will be fine good luck in the afterlife I said the half blood where shocked but they nodded and they all bowed to me saying thank you sir and with that I stopped playing and my fiery guitar started to sink back into the bident when I did all the spirit around me disappeared and there bones turning into ash which blew away luckily my shadow still was shielding me cuz right when the wall of ants disappeared more arrows rained down on me I side tiredly my bident going back on my neck and from my shadow I reached out and took my sickle sword from its chest when I did it want back to normal I shadow walked on top of the wall where I knew Rocky, Flare, Slade and Layla was when I appeared Layla cot me saying Hunter are you ok my eyes want back to normal and I half hugged her half used her to stabilize my self saying yea I have never brought the dead back before and that many of them I only read about how to so I might have used a little to much power but I shrugged can't help that Flare was dumbfounded Rocky was simply shaking his head understanding my plan and Slade stayed neutral I looked down to Layla who was holding Daisy in her arms he had grown since yesterday but I didn't mind maybe Layla if you give me a kiss it will help me a bit Layla's face started to turn red and so did the tips of her ears she shyly looked away from me and in a low embarrassed voice she said only if you would want to I smiled asking what was that Layla did you say something when I said she was full on blushing she looked down and in a louder shaky voice she said only if you would want to I razed my left hand and put it on her check and gently I moved her head she didn't resist and I moved her face so we were looking at each other are noses were almost touching and I could feel her warm breath I looked into her eyes and said I want to Layla was shocked but she nodded and shyly said ok and she leaned fowered and kissed me what want from a normal soft kiss quickly turned into a deep and long kiss that we explored each others mouths after a hole minute of this Slade coughed saying not to worry you or anything but we got people coming out from the tree line Layla took her head back she was bright red and in a embarrassed voice she said sorry I forgot I chuckled licked my lips and whispered into her year taste she froze I chuckled seeing her cute reaction Rocky smiled saying great job Hunter you fried her brain I laughed saying it ant my fault that I am just that good he shook his head at my shamelessness I looked out to see what Slade was talking about to see 10 people riding on ant one of them held a stick with a white flag o this should be good Slade be the sniper if I give the signal kill as many of them as you can he smiled nodding Rocky you will be with me Flare and Layla follow behind I hope you got rides and I grabbed Layla's hand and jumped off the wall whistling and from out of nowhere you could hear a motorcycle and ramping over the wall was my motorcycle when we hit the ground Layla was out of her shocked state and she whispered in my ear I will get you back for that I smiled evilly you do that but let's ride for know and sliding around us and stopping in front of us was my motorcycle I hopped on Layla getting on behind me I raved her up a few times and did a donut before shoot off at these people Rocky smiled and looked back to Flare saying let's go and he picked her up and jumped off the wall when he hit the ground a rock rino elemental armed under Rocky and he sat down on it with Flare sitting princess style in front of him when the rino was fully formed he kicked the side of it like a horse we want at the same speed and naturally we got to the middle of the field before they did so we waited for them I crossed my arms still holding my sickle sword so they didn't take it as a sine we was going to attack I laid it across my lap Layla had her arms wrapped around my wasted slotter in its pin farm in her hand out of site this group of 10 slowed down and stopped about 20 foot from us far enough where we could not attack them you that's what they think leading this group was a middle-aged man he had on chain shirt and over this chain shirt was a white clothes that had a red cross on it he was definitely a higher rank thin the other 9 and he was the oldest but most of them had on bucket helmets so I could barely see there eyes the only people faces I could see was this man and two others next to him on his right was a woman a little younger then the man she had short blonde hair she to had that chain shirt and the cloth with the red cross on it on the men left was another middle-aged man he had spiky black hair with lines of white in it this man was smoking a cigar he was the only one that stood out a little he yo had the same armor as the rest plus most of them had a sword on their hip and a shield close but a few had an axe no one did anything we were waiting to see what the other party would do and gauging each others strengths I could smell fear coming off all those who had there helmets on but only when they looked at me but I didn't care about them I was watching and waiting to see what the middle man's world do and finally the middle man got off his ant and walked in front of it saying I am Deven from the holy house of Valler the woman on my right is called Sally of house waters and the other man is Dave from house fucks I tried not to laugh hearing his name I was stone fasted but in the inside I was laughing who might you all be Deven finished I didn't get up but I spoke my name is Hunter this beautiful lady behind me is Layla the girl on the rino is called Flare and the buff dude is Rocky Deven nodded saying so you are the one that raised all them undead and survived are arrows Huh I chuckled yep that's me the big bad necromancer o I should thank you Deven and the rest of them was shocked and Sally asked in a snarky voice thank us for what boy all we did was kill your people to bad they was killed and eaten by monsters wanted to play with them I only was able to play with a few scouts there no fun I have her a very big and cold toothy smile saying it was your idea to send monsters at us and many of those monsters did kill some camp members but the count of your dead monsters heavily outranks the dead camp members so you see my plan would not have been so successful without your master's body but even without their help it still would have been a slotted instead of a butchery like it was so thank you Sally , Deven and Dave glared at me as for there other members the smell of fear got more intense I could even smell some on the three leaders Deven cleared his throat to snap everyone out of it and to boost his people's faith then he said Boy don't start a fight you can't win all you surrender and we will give most of you a merciful death when he said that Dave ran his hand over his axe and Sally gave me a cruel smile I looked at Deven like one would look at a dum fish Rocky and I looked at each other and broke out laughing are laughter to them felt cold and mocking Sally screamed out what's so funny brats we looked at her I wrapped a tear from my eye saying that joke you just said Sally glared at me but then gave me a warm seductive smile saying come dear come warm mommy's bed tonight I will show you what a woman's charm is I chuckled saying the fact that you think you can call your self my mother when you have no idea who she is and like to prove my point my sickle sword got ice cold Sally looked disappointed another thing i crossed my arms your looks and body doesn't interest me y should I warm a old hag's bed when I can be with this smoking hot beauty behind me who is hundreds of times hotter then you are Sallys face when she heard my words got darker and darker till she was frowning glaring at Layla when Layla heard my words she tightened her arms around me a little red-faced but when she seen Sally's glare Layla smiled at her and flipped her the bird Sally was clenching her mouth so hard I could see a little blood running out Deven realized this wasn't going anywhere so be made one last tempted of reason all you hear me know we heavily outnumber you and we got plenty of poisoned arrows for all of you so think about it would you rather have a clean death than die slowly drowning in your own blood I gave him a huge toothy smile Deven blinked and I was gone and from behind him I said is this a good enough answer and Devens's head flew off the look of shock and fear written on his face I spun around as I was swinging and in my other hand was my colt navy and Boom Boom I shot two shots into Daves's chest before he could even react Sally draw her sword swinging it at me screaming die you bastard but I didn't even look at her hell I didn't even move my sword which was resting on my shoulder Sallys sword was about to hit me when a blood red bastard sword blocked it hi bitch that's mine Layla said standing next to me Sally screamed out die bitch and her and snapped at her but Boom Boom Boom a bullet flow strate into her ants head and into Daves and Devens's ants head to killing them intently they disintegrated soon after that I holstered it and pulled out my colt single act I looked to the rest Rocky and his Rino was stomping two ants and riders as Flare was punching holes in two riders and brunching the ants under her fist as for the other three crusaders there ants was running as fast as they could back to the trees but 4 shots came from the wall killing the ants and all was left was the riders who tried to run I chuckled saying I do love moving targets and I disappeared and appeared behind one of them I swung and cut his leg off then I turned to his friend razing my revolver Boom Boom Boom Boom my first bullets was at the farthest from me the first shot went straight into his chest them the next shot want state into their throat as for the closest the first shot hit him in the spine and as he was falling the neck shot hit him square in the mouth but that was only a guess cuz of their helmets I looked down at the one at my feet who was whimpering trying to crawl away I side saying I hate runners and I walked next to him swinging my sickle sword cutting his head and helmet off I looked back to Layla who was impaling Sally with blood spears with each wave of her hand another blood spear would fly and impale Sally who was screaming and crying begging for mercy but Layla want having none of it I side and appeared next to Sally swinging my sword ending her misery Layla huffed saying y you do that I was just getting to the fun part I looked at her disappointedly when she seaw that her shoulders slumped but she was going to do the same to you I side sacking my head Layla I ant judgin you I don't care about that it's the fact you impaled her with 20 blood spears and you was using your powers to keep her blood moving in her body which is extremely painful by its self you was extending her life with you powers just to inflict more pain on her when her mind was already broken from the pain and the wish to die we maybe seen as monsters doesn't mean we are the same types of monsters as her remember this Layla and learn from it with each word from me she seemed to get smaller and smaller and I could see the tears folling off her face but she was trying to hide it from me I appeared behind her and wrapped my arms around her and whispered in her ear it's all right my love shhhh it's all right I am so happy that you love me that much I can't even show how happy that makes me feel she started to shake I kept on whispering sweet nothings in her ear she turned around and barred her face into my chest crying bid away through this I glanced over to Rocky and Flare both of them was also holding each other talking but they had smiles that was when I felt it I screamed Rocky sky and I shielded Layla with my body and wrapping around both of us was my shadow, Rocky when he heard my words he stomped the group and stone wall shielded them and raining down all around us was arrows Rocky's rino stood next to them the arrows just bouncing off them as for my motorcycle it shot backward out of range from the arrows I glared at the wood line I seen many more crusaders that was ready to charge that green fire was in my eyes but it was not a little flame no it was like a gas fire bright and angry stay behind me I said standing up reloading my revolvers after that I pulled off my necklace the bident appeared when it was fully farmed at the edge of the blade that green fire appeared on it just on the edge it made it look more sharp and wicked and in my other hand was the sickle sword the black edge on my sword started to glow with dark magic black flame arrows kept on raining down on us I looked over to Rocky who also looked over to me he had two huge hammers in his hands he nodded at me I nodded back I stabbed my bident into the ground and turned around to Layla who was still crying looking up to me I held out my hand saying come, love, let's test our fates what do you and a warm crazy smile spread across my face Layla started at me shocked looking at my hand she was hesitating but I am scared that I will disappoint you again I crouched down to her saying Layla I have never been disappointed with you y should I be you make me happy more then most and I can't imagine my life without you but this scares me so I am hard on you cuz I want you to grow and shine into the beautiful star I see and I want your star to keep shining even get brighter so my love I stood back up and held out my hand again come my love let's go test our fates Layla

wiped the tears from her eyes and took my hand with a huge crazy smile saying yes love let's go kill these fuckers I chuckled saying that my girl pulling her on her feet stay behind me I said turning back around grabbing my bident again ok what's your plan I chuckled no need for plan I pointed at the charging army arrows was still running down but soon they will stop let's get this party started I said slamming the bident down in front of me and appearing all around my shadow was four blue small fireballs I slammed the group again and the fireballs flew into the army and when it hit the crusaders for a few seconds nothing happened till boom four huge explosions shook the ground and let's just say whoever was close enough to that fireball they no longer have a body but the crusaders kept on charging at us Rocky razed both of his hammers above him and slammed them down on the ground when he did many more rock rinos appeared and charged forward Flare cocked her fist and slammed them together and her fiery gauntlets appeared from fire on her hands she snapped and red fire birds started to form around her she snapped again and all these birds kamikaze dived down at these crusaders glowing hole in people and blowing limbs off when they hit the ground they exploded Layla moved beside me Slotter in her hand and her blood breastplate and gauntlets appeared on her she razed one hand and blood spears and blood arrows started to farm from all the split blood already when the weapons was ready she sliced her hand down and all her blood weapons flew and sunk into the enemy but they just kept on coming and we was about to crash.
