They glanced back, watching the cowardly hero flee the enemy. It was absolutely disgraceful. True warriors fought to their last breath and died in battle! The Valkyries were furious and hadn’t done what Quina hoped they would—mainly because they weren’t commanded to. They instead looked across at each other from their cover before cursing silently and frowning at the ground. The three Valkyries gripped their psyphers and like the last two who had died before them, they sprang out from their cover and charged the enemy on battle cries. The least they could do was buy the coward time to escape. The archers didn’t shoot for they already knew the three brave Valkyries were dead. Balls of fire dropped from the trees and detonated on contact with the earth. Quina would hear the explosion. The Valkyries were incinerated in the inferno, purple stars floating about the swirling flames. The archers charged around the blaze and started chasing after Quina like hounds hunting a fox. The enchanter lowered to the ground and followed behind the archers, and as soon as they were clear of the fire, all nine fairies took to the skies to swiftly pursue the fork-wielding chef. Arrows started to rain upon Quina and the enchantress was beginning to wield another spell until two red diamond-shaped crystals shot from the forest canopy on black chains. The crystals stabbed the enchantress like knives, the fairy’s mouth falling open in shock before she burst into phozons. The sudden death of the enchantress caused the nine archers to immediately stop. They hovered over the trees as the crystals swiftly disappeared beneath the tree line. The archers shot arrows into the boughs where they had seen them disappear and the crystals reached out of the woods to claim another fairy. The phozons of the two deceased beings darted into the trees as though sucked out of the sky by a vacuum. The archers realized that they couldn’t see the enemy and immediately dropped to the forest floor. A red figure darted over Quina’s head until it flipped down from the trees in front of him/her. Landing in a crouch with black chains about her waist and red psypher crystals to her left and right was a red-hooded woman. She stood and turned to face Quina, her amethyst eyes assessing the thing that she just so happened to…save? Did she? The woman resembled a belly dancer that wore thigh-high stockings, her lengthy blonde locks pooled about her shoulders. [color=ed145b][b]“A toad with a fork…I’ve never seen such a thing,”[/b][/color] said Velvet. Her eyes motioned passed Quina at the seven remaining fairies. [color=ed145b][b]“You can’t outrun them. Their only purpose is to destroy any who near the Abandoned Castle. You’re better off killing them. Why carry that fork if you don’t even know how to use it?”[/b][/color] The woman was cold, but she was trying to be somewhat helpful. The creature was alone and ugly…she felt sorry for it. At the same time, Quina reminded her of when her lover was turned into a Pooka. She learned then that appearances didn’t matter. [hr] [b][u]Total Enemies[/u]:[/b] 7 [i]Minions:[/i] 7 – Ringford Fairies Location: Fighting Quina Quin and his/her 0/5 Valkyrie soldiers. New Companion: [url=http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/odinsphere/images/4/43/VelvetImage.JPG/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/1000?cb=20150702204742]Velvet[/url] [center][h2][u]Team Two[/u][/h2][/center] The green man was first to boldly face him, swiftly taking the steps toward him. Oswald glared at Luigi and the rest of his team, watching as the remaining team members seemed to take a backseat. His team was dividing, which meant they were given other orders. General Brigan made no motion to come at him as vigorously as Luigi. Of course not. Not when there were others who could do it for him. The shadow knight was breed on the battlefield, having served in countless battles with Ringford and Ragnival. He was the adopted son of Prince Melvin, creator of the Shadow Knights; the slayer of the King of Dragons, Wagner, and the all-knowing dragon, Hindel. Most importantly, he was the prideful husband of Odin’s daughter Gwendolyn. The woman who he was risking his very life to protect. Brigan’s champions were fools if they thought they were going to get by him so easily. Oswald did not entertain Luigi’s attacks. He remained just out of his hammer's reach, stepping backwards as he continued to keep an eye on his surroundings. He knew where Luigi was and he knew where General Brigan was. There were more warriors he had to look out for but the flaw in their leader’s plan was that they would have to scale the stairwell to reach Gwendolyn’s chamber, which made Oswald’s job too easy. As he expected, which was why he kept the known opponents where he could see them, a shot was fired at him from above. On a blur of black flames, the red psypher rose next to the shadow knight’s head and with his blade, Belderiver, deflected the round at Luigi. The other units were storming the stairwell only adding to his targeting. He wouldn’t even have to lift a finger. He would use their own teammate’s firepower against them. Each shot the sniper fired at him, Oswald directed the first three at Luigi. The following shots Oswald deflected at Samus and Hapu. At this time, if the Guardian wasn’t on the second floor, then his exact location after jumping down from the rafters needed to be clearer. Using him and his relentless, tactless shooting to pick at his teammates gave the shadow knight the advantage. Oswald wasn’t sure if Luigi’s wooden hammer was sturdy enough to deflect the energy the Guardian was firing or even the other defenseless members on the stairwell. Whichever one fell, flinched, or even attempted to try and save the other, Oswald intended to follow up with a deadly slash from his soul-sapping blade. However, he hadn’t got that chance when the stairwell suddenly jerked beneath his feet. The Shadow Knight gasped in fright as he staggered, having lost his balance. General Brigan was leisurely marching up the stairs with a malicious grin stretched on his face and his red eyes gleaming with an evil darker than Queen Odette, ruler of the Netherworld and the dead in Erion. He wouldn’t have cared if Team Two perished trying to stop Oswald. The general knew that whatever damage they managed to inflict on the fighter would only soften him up for when he would destroy him himself. If the heroes died fighting Oswald, then they weren’t worth the trouble. Weaklings; pawns; that’s all they were in the end. [center][h3][u]Team Three[/u][/h3][/center] [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/5nRYdPN.png?1[/img][/center] The legendary pilot had a nightmare of corrupted soldiers chasing him. Surrounded by wild, vicious screams, the tainted Valkyries were feral and vicious, but they didn’t seem to have as much tact as they once did before the virus. Fox’s counter assault was successful. The tornado kick struck the Valkyrie that had been on his tail in the chin, snapping her head back and sending her into a complete back flip. As he scaled the severed tree, the Valkyries were in mid-brake, trying to stop and whirl around before two caught Fox’s blaster to the face. The two Valkyries burst into purple stars as opposed to falling to the ground. Fox would be the second to witness death in Erion, and if Naija was close enough, she would be the third. Beings that died in Erion did not leave a corpse, but phozons. Two more Valkyries fell victim to the Fox’s wily tricks and the Valkyrie who had been kicked in the face earlier hissed in anger. She did not pursue the Fox on the ground but remained airborne, flying overhead. She removed from her belt a vial that she tossed on the ground ahead of the Fox and erupting vertically from the earth, uprooting trees in a whirlwind of powerful gusts was a large tornado. If the tornado was able to rip Fox into the sky, then he would be at the mercy of the remaining five Valkyries. The sixth Valkyrie who had been trailing behind the group had been dropped to the earth by the stealthy siren (Naija) who had been secretly following. Her armor had been ripped off and without her wings, the warrior helplessly crashed down to the forest floor. Meanwhile, the boulder Naija had lobbed at the Demon Lord was seen out of the corner of his black helm’s eye. His red eyes narrowed at the swiftly approaching object and with one strong flap from his tiny wings, he banked right flipping to the right and then belly up to watch the boulder soar over him. What he hadn’t been expecting was for an overgrown human with a hammer to be dropping toward him. His eyes flashed a bright red in surprise before the hammer slammed against his iron helm like a church bell—and even rang like one too. The nineteen pursuing Valkyries screeched in rage as Odin tumbled from the sky. When his cherub wings temporarily gave out, his heavy armor sent him crashing to the earth like a mighty weight. The Demon Lord’s flight to the Abandoned Castle was successfully delayed…but for how long?
