Duilin stared at the bones. It seemed to that this machine eats people, and perhaps wished to eat Duilin now.

It was quite a depressing sight, actually. He then turned his head up, and looked at the large blast flying towards him. His eyes bolted wide open as he spotted it.

"HEY!!" Said a high voice, seemingly out of nowhere a large white feathery winged creature popped right in front of Duilin.

"Ahh, just like Zeros'." Rink said grinning. "Jumps in a just the right moment...wait a second."

The winged one had a shield of light blue energy held in his hand, it was about two feet wide. The blast stuck the shield; he was blown backwards and smashed right into Duilin. The two winged people flew back several yards and piled down in the ground. The entire ground was scorched, several remains of the fortress were flying all over the place, Rink had to run out of the way, and was knocked over by the shockwave off the blast. A rock hit his head. "Oww...." He rested his eyes. "That smarts..."

The area of Bandervill looked very different from how it did before the entire attack. With several large craters all over the place. Not a blade of grass is left, just scorched earth. (Due to the effects of Chapter 9 and the current battle.)

The new commer stood up, with a perfect stance. It appeared to be a human with eagle like wings, wearing a toga and a headband made of leaves. It had a strange shine of light around him and a bright gold ring above his head. He was carrying a long golden rod. He looked like he was quite young, yet tall for his age.

"I am the great Aegidius!" the person spoke; he had a very soft, but heroic sounding voice. "I am an Angel sent by the great Gods and Goddess of Paradise in the capital of Olympus! I have assigned to: Defend the world from abominations that are in threat of destroying this world."

He spun his rod, and held it by the end and pointed it at the machine. "THAT is one of them. Its purpose in life is to only kill others in order to power itself. It has no use, other then to end the lives of others. Solution: It must be removed with full force. It is not alive, therefore no harm what-so-ever would be caused by destroying it."

Duilin still lying on the ground rubbed his eyes and shook his head rapidly. What the heck was this?

The angel stood in its position. Only his arms moved as he put the rod behind it's back, it seemed to just float in place, he held his hands and arms out like he was holding a longbow. Suddenly a longbow made of a magic-type of crystal materialized in his hands. He aimed the bow at the machine. An arrow of a light blue coloured energy appeared as he fired the bow, and the arrow flew towards the exposed cannon.

----

Marshal hesitated. He couldn't just leave them. He wasn't selfish.

Marshal steps forward, a blue spectre blasts from his amulet to his right hand. He throws the spectre right at the group of people, causing a strange blue explosion, knocking the guards back, as the explosion cleared up, it turned out that what he through was a large group of jel monsters (not gel, mind you). The jel monsters proceeded to consume the brains of the guards in a similar matter that the other gel did. However, since Marshal had a lot of energy and his amulet these jels were quite strong. Half of the jels combined together and made an Oooze. The gelatinous monsters and the prisoners then rushed upstairs ready to take out the rest of the guards. The prisoners gave a few extra stabs at the bodies, and burnt the corpses.

"Hopefully, they'll be able to live..." Marshal said. "But we've got to comeback and help them when he gets the others, okay. Now, how in the heck are we going to get out of here?"

Nick was almost at the gates when he saw the well prepaired defences. Two guards faced him.

" I'm sorry no one can enter or leave."

"Don't tell me shit, I really don't care I'll enter one way or another."

"State your name and buisness!" The guard demanded.

"I'm Nick of the Grey Empire and I've come to see your master."

The guard whispers to the other.

"There is nothing left of the Grey Empire. I doubt that you are part of it."

"I'm a survivior of the battle in bandervil, but I doubt you ever heard of it. Now let me in."

The Guards opened the gate slowly and Nick entered. He stood looking at the magnificent architecture of the buidings. The gate silently closed behind him.

Nick saw a woman pass by. "Excuse me milady who runs this place?" Nick asked

"Oh, Kronos, I guess you arn't from around here."

"Thank you and your right. But where is he?"

"There!" she pointed to a towering citidel.

"Thank you and good day." Nick now stared at the massive tower.

The guard who let Nick in stood looking dumb, while the other guard on the opposite side of the gate shouted right into his ear:

-"WHY THE HELL DID YOU LET HIM IN?! Guards! Bag this idiot and bring someone who actually has some balls! Also, get a squadron to apprehend Mr. Commando who thinks it's funny to disturb the Lord like this!"

The other guard looked at the shouting one, just before getting clubbed by another one on the head from behind and dragged away. A different guard was posted in his place. The rest of the guards entered the courtyard with Nick in it.

-"You there! Halt!!!"

The alarm was activated. An extraordinarly loud fog horn sounded, resonating through the pyramidic buildings. The small gathering of guards pointed their lances at Nick. One of them spoke.

-"State your business here, or become like rot-brain over there", he said, pointing to an undead guard. The remains of his brain were seeping through fissures in his skull.

---

"Strange. The alarm sounded, I wonder why...?

-"Excuse me, gentlemen."

I quickly shifted phases, and floated through the solid walls out into the courtyard. My guardians were positioned around some teenage-looking kid. Hey... I saw him before... but that did not change the fact that I was very, very angry. I pointed a shaking hand at him.

-"You... how DARE you just walk in here?! Listen, you half-breed, if you don't want your pretty head stuck onto my citadel walls, you WILL tell me what you are doing here. Otherwise, I will make SURE you are to be made an example of..."

I slowly lowered my head at the guards beneath.

-"Why was his presence not detected? WHO WAS IN COMMAND OF THE COASTAL DEFENCES!?"

The guard I was looking at probably pissed his pants three times over.

-"Uhh... General Kovan, my Lord..."

At this point I was so furious that my eyesight was becoming darker. I had trouble speaking, for I was being choked by my anger.

-"Assemble... the citizens... at the square. Drag Kovan over here... alive... and bring out... the bone machine..."

//From this point on, I'd appreciate if no one got in Kandarin with that much ease.\\

Nick looked at the gaurds yelling at him. "My busniness is my own...don't make me kill you..." The peircing sound of the horn hurt Nicks ears. "ahh, Shit what the hell." He said kneeling on the floor. Nick turned around as Kronos spoke. Nick knew him from somewhere. " I am sorry I felt a fimilar arura in this direction I though you where on with the Grey Empire. The Arura Nick felt was right in front of him. Nick walked up to Kronos as he was barking out orders. "I'm sorry if I disturbed you...take these for my apology." Nick handed Kronos the demonic weapons. "Now if you want I'll leave..."

Zeros' blinked and then groaned, palming a face into his hand. He dropped his cloaking technique and slowly flew down next to Duilin and his new angel companion, his eyes focused on him.

"What are those idiots at Olympus thinking? Zeus and the others know that Gaian is my district..." he says, looking at the new winged person. Then he turned after saying that, smiling at Duilin.

"Sorry... I wanted to see how good you did fighting this..." he looked over at their opponent. "...person by yourself. And you did quite good," he said, smiling. "But now that I know what he does and how that machine his powered, I can't stand idly by any longer."

He buffeted his wings, then folded them back to his body, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword, his emerald green eyes boring into Horus.

Aegedius' arrow hit Horus, but once again it was absorbed by the glyphs. They further lightened in shade.

Great... Now it's three people versus one machine. Ah well. Horus has been in bigger brawls, and he almost always came out the winner. He looked at the three people talking. All against him...

Now one of them is glaring at him. What is this?! He took his maul off his back and patted it on his hand, in a "tough guy" manner.

--- --- ---

Ein and Marshal hurried to the window. It was a long way down - the sigil was barely visible. Ein questionably looked at Marshal.

-"So... yeah. Jump down and try to land in that little thingy down there."

---

"I accepted the weapons.

-"Very well... what is it you wanted? I suppose you're worth of my attention for bypassing my security like this."

//Sorry, Dude Man. I neglected to mention that Glacia, the region where Alex comes from, is technologically behind the rest of the areas due to the desire of a simple lifestyle. Anyway...\\

Alex had been walking for some time, he had caught his breath from the scuffle with that undead. This stranger who stopped him on the cliff must've doubted his motives...Alex didn't even know his name or what he did for a living. Why would he want to make an attempt on Alex's life? Did the stranger know of what he did years ago? Did he find out of Alex's stoking of the war to fuel his ill-gotten gains? It was something Alex was not proud of once he began to think about it. Either way, he would have to be on his guard.

Alex stopped for a second to check his position. Judging from the foliage and less-than-frozen snow, he was about halfway down the mountains. The snowline stopped at three-quarters down, to be replaced with a warm, temperate climate. Hopefully Alex would find the technology he needed to build the flamethrower, and thus have the upper hand in his next encounter.

Alex's thoughts turned to the ultimate anti-undead weapon, the shotgun. It was a powerful firearm, effective only at close range though. Alex had heard of such weapons, but had never seen them. Glacia preferred a simplistic lifestyle without such corrupting technology. Alex had heard rumors of firearms making swordplay obsolete due to the fact that a gun could hit a target from a distance. The shotgun was a special type of firearm though. Alex hadn't ever used one before, but he knew how one worked. A shell full of shot was loaded into the chamber and cocked. A firing pin would strike the rear of the shell, thus detonating a tiny explosive behind the shot. The expansion of the resulting explosion and gases would break the shell open and propel the shot out of the barrel at high velocities. The shotgun was effective at close range, since the shot pellets would disperse over distance. Zombies, with their weak bodies, could be easily destroyed by such a weapon.

Unfortunately, shotguns were very expensive since the resources to build one were very hard to find in this day and age. Nonetheless, there are some out there who are lucky enough to have possession of multiple firearms.

Alex took a deep breath through his nose. The air felt warmer and more humid. He was near the snowline. Mustering up his determination, Alex continued down the icy path, with his hand always ready to draw his sword at any time.

//Not a problem at all DS.\\

Marshall stared blankly at what Ein. He looked from side to side, and then looked closely at the coloured dot at the ground.

He then looked at Ein, making a stupid smile. "Okay~~" He said in a childish voice. His face then turned more serious, and gave a 'what, am I an idiot?' look.

"Okay, I'm not that stupid. If I fall that far down I'm dead. There is no way I can even land on that tiny thing. Only a total fool would attempt a stunt like that."

----

"Huh yeah...umm okay." Duilin replied. He was pretty hurt, he rubbed his eyes and looked at the angel. "Hey, that was a huge blast, shouldn't you at least be bleeding."

"Oh, no." Aegidius said proudly. "As I am an angelic guardian, from the great Olympus, damage will not very easily show up on me. I do not easily bleed; it would take a very powerful and sharp blade to draw blood from me. I am pure angelic!" He said brushing the side of his hair with his right hand, giving a grin.

"Uhhh...right. Um hey, could you take my place, I need to go check on a friend of mine."

"Of cource young one, but do not attempt anything. I can tell you are a demon, so by defeault, I do not fully trust demons."

He steps up and dusts himself. "Yeah, half human too." He then walks over to check on Rink.

"Sheesh, Zeros'." Aegidius groaned. "I'm not surprised you picked up another half breed. Did this one go berserk yet?"

He kept a good look on Horus, his crystal bow seemed to have disappeared. He had his rod held in both hands now, ready to fly at Horus on his next move...

The last of the troops marched into the mist of the great mountains ahead. From that Ulmec turned and stepped of the rock he was standing on. Huget waited patiently in a group of trees behind the rock Ulmec stood on. Ulmec approach him and asked him why was he hiding.

" I fear that showing my face may affect the behavior of goblins"

Ulmec for the fourth time stood puzzled, "Why would that be so?"

Huget sighed and began to explain. Since Huget was the creator of goblins, they are genetically connected to him in a special bond unknown to most others. These type of bonds are only formed when magic and earthly minerals or substances are used in a form of life creation. In this case it was the Orc-Stone and Hugets magic.

Ulmec finally understood" Oahh, now i see it"

"All in good time Ulmec, all in good time"

They walked back from the field and into the main site. The walls are nearing completion and a architects were finishing the foundations for barracks,armories,bunkers,etc.... All seems well. What Ulmec loved was when he saw the primary command bunker already open and occupied by troops. Inside he saw some of the most advanced magical items he has ever seen (Designed by Huget...Duh). They ranged from creature tracking devices to full scale magic defense shields. All of this was designed in magic that is lost now to modern wizards and druids. Only Huget knows what these magics can do and how to cast them.

A lone goblin approached," Sirs,we have finished surveying the plateu and have started construction on a base for your castle, but we will need more rock and iron to complete the castle" Ulmec and Huget looked at each other. Then Ulmec spoke,


"Take a team and teleport to the Grey Empire ruins. Arm yourselves with the "special" armor i have in my private stores. Take all you can and bring it back"


Then, Huget walked over to a goblin pit and began to mumble, a stream of goblins instantly came out and stood at his attention. This move amaxed Ulmec but he stood still not knowing waht will happen. Huget started to think,"I will take these troops and tell them to go into the mountains to use their "powers" to quarry iron and coal to make steel. This should definatly strengthen the walls and castle."


"Go to the mountains and mine all the coal and iron you can"

Without question, the goblins went to the armory, within a few mintues they emerged and began the long march tot he mountains the same way the main army went. Ulmec was very satisfied at the accomplishemtns he had made, he has made his own empire. But still.....he wanted more. What Ulmec wanted was th e ultamite fighters and ultamite armor. Then the armies of the Goblin Republic will march whereever and whenever without question. And Ulmec knew just how to get it.....

Ein smirked.

-"Suit yourself."

He hopped through the window, down, and into the sigil. Just before hitting the ground, he slowly stopped moving. The sigil did its job.

--- --- ---

Horus was getting tired of waiting. With a mechanical grinding noise, he swung his maul at Zeros', with absolute full strength he could muster.

The four had arrived on the scene. The "Hold it!" had come from Tsu, who'd be the one to speak next.

"If you're testing people's abilities, then let me step up... That is... Aura and I."
"Me? Wait, you want..."
"Yes, that's right. Zeros', may we?"

"What did I tell you!" Marshall groaned. "Total fool!" He then looked around, seeing the others fight. He then looked back down at the sigil. "How about that, he made it."

Suddenly a headless zombie pushed Marshall, and he fell out of the window.

"Ahhh<span style='font-size:6pt;line-height:100%'>hhh</span><span style='font-size:5pt;line-height:100%'>hhh</span>...."

Marshall then decided to aim himself towards the sigil. "Come on..."

He then slowly lowered down as he lowered down onto it. "Phew..."

----

"Rink, are you okay?" Duilin asked. He saw Rink lying on the ground; he helped the little guy get on his feet.

"Rink?" the imp asked. "Who's Rink?" He slowly fell down onto the ground.

"Yeah...he's fine."

"Uhhhgg.." Rink rolled his eyes, in an unnatural way. He kept lying on the ground, on his belly. "Duilin, that thing looks strong, go on, help the guys fight it."

"You sure?" Duilin asked. "I'm not doing much."

"Because you ain't putting enough 'oomph' into it. It's okay if you use your demonic abilities to fight it, that is your strong point, you can focus on upping your less strong abilities later, this thing is going to require a lot of power to fight."

"Okay, by the way. This angel just popped out of nowhere, any comment."

"No. Now go help the others, I've got a major head ache to work off..."

"Bah. I don't care what you say. I've been wanting to use this again really badly..."

Tsu flung his hand down, and it erupted with lightning. He held the hand out toward Aura, who struck the energy in various places... Compacting it into a swirling ball of electricity.

This attack would be technically perfect. The Spiral Sphere is a compacted, retained swirling ball of energy. Upon contact, there would be a powerful drill effect because of the swirling energy, and it would be continuous because of its being retained. Combining this with the Chidori, a relatively simple technique used to cut through things, is simply genius. The continuous drill effect would be turned into a continuous slicing effect, and powered by electricity, there is also a chance of electrocution or shock. Perfect for this machine like thing that Horus seems to be.

The attack was now fully charged...

"Well....everyones been telling me that there is no Grey Empire. I'm not just going to sit by watching this war. I'm not joining those damn Asypes and not the dark empire. I want to side with you and the old allies of the Grey Empire. What do you say?" Nick asked Kronos. Nick turned around not waiting for an answer and was going to walk away......

//Still waiting for Zeros' to reply to my attack.\\

--- --- ---

Ein grinned.

-"Ah, I see you decided to come, after all. Well, we'd better get running, before we get captured again... I have a feeling that if that were to happen, we would likely not enjoy it. Come on."

Ein sprinted to the fissure in the wall that he came through originally. He surveyed the area outside.

There was the bridge he used to get here from the other island. Below the bridge was the raging ocean. Seems as though this is an island nation... Also of note was the fog around the whole area. The fog made it impossible to see the more distant islands, as well as adding a creepiness atmosphere to the place. The tall, emotionless pyramidic buildings enhanced the effect. How could these people live here for so long and not go insane...? Seems like the human race can adapt to any environment.

Ein (and Marshall, assuming he follows) came up to one of the smaller buildings. This was the same kind that he got his clothes from; common sense suggests that there would be clothes in there, as well. He drew another sigil on the outer wall of the pyramid. It flared brightly.

-"Stun technique... Should knock out anyone who was inside at the time."

Ein creeped inside the house. A person was lying on the floor, out cold. Same basic premise of the house he saw earlier: a bed, a study, a wardrobe, and other household items. He looked inside the wardrobe, and found another set of Kandarian-looking clothes. It was slightly different than Ein's, but had the same characteristics as his own clothes: a broad shirt with many folds, and same-coloured pants. The overall colour of the clothes was dark red. Ein urged Marshal inside.

-"Here, put this on. Should be easier to sneak by the guards in this place."

---

"I slowly lifted up my fist, then violently thrusted it down. The gate just in front of Nick slammed shut.

-"How rude. You asked me a question, and you walk away. We can't have that now, can we?"

I lowered myself on the ground and phase-shifted into reality.

-"Assuming I let you join... How would you be of help? What will you do to uphold the great cause of Kandarin? Or are you just joining for the paycheck?"

I stared blankly in his eyes.

-"Don't get me wrong, gold is not an issue. However, if you do not believe in the truth that is Kandarinian Sovereignty, do not bother coming to me."
