And here we go...
EDIT: WISH GRANTED PADDY xd
Chapter Nine
Cirno stood tall over the ramparts of the south wall with Paddy, Alec, Dome, and Handertaker behind him. The sea of soldiers advancing toward them quaked the grounds the trampled upon. Their battle cries could be heard from miles. Anyone lesser would have trembled in fear, but not the Empire’s soldiers. Cirno turned and face the mass of forces called to defend the south wall. He slammed his staff into the ground and commenced with a preparatory speech:
“We, of the LF Empire, have never faced an enemy of this size in the many of years that we have stood tall and proud in this land. We have fought many battles and lost many soldiers, but we always prevailed in the end. We stand against an army who wish to destroy our precious Empire and build a new order over it. We will not allow this! None of us will. This great nation has survived for too long to simply be recreated by corrupt oppressors who come at us on this day!”
Cirno began point at random people while continuing, “You will not let this happen. Neither you, or you, or you! I will not let tragedy befall our beloved Empire. So I ask you all, soldiers who fight for the sake of the Empire; will you let our enemy take it from us?!”
The mass of soldiers all shouted a loud and defiant NO.
“Then we shall stand and defend this sacred land, and show our enemy the true power of the LF EMPIRE!”
A loud roar emerged from the soldiers. They all raised their weapons showing their eager and willing passion for defending this Empire.
“Yeah!” Paddy blurted out raising his two golden swords high in the air. “Let’s show these Dark Rebellion what-nots who the real Empire is!”
“FOR THE EMPIRE!!!” Don Giovanni screamed out.
And the gates opened letting out the hyped mass of soldiers who were ready for anything at this moment. They formed a line in front of the south wall, Cirno and Giovanni in the front. Paddy, Dome, Alec, and Handertaker were behind them two and three rows of nothing but soldiers amassed on both sides of all of them.
Cirno looked at everyone, “Not one enemy enters through these gates! NOT ONE!”
Everyone shouted in accord to Cirno’s orders.
Blue-Phoenix could be seen hovering above the sea of Dark Rebellion forces in a large icy-blue cloud. He was holding a blue blade made of the hardest and coldest ice.
“I could take down this wall myself,” He thought to himself, “But I suppose having an army to do it for me wouldn’t hurt either. Maybe I’ll enjoy this after all.”
Blue-Phoenix pointed his blade to the south wall and ordered a charge. In an instant, the large legion of forces began sprinting towards the south wall. They began running with extreme speed and were heading towards the wall faster than normal.
“Here they come,” Paddy said with his golden swords glowing in excitement, let alone himself. “I will fertilize the land with their blood.”
“That’s a little overboard isn’t it?” Dome asked.
“Meh,” Paddy said. “They deserve it for taking on the Empire.”
“Steady men!” Don Giovanni called to everyone as the Dark Rebellion drew closer and closer. “Steady! Ready yourselves!”
And after the long wait, the clash came.
“ATTACK!”
Paddy began glowing with white light and broke formation charging straight into the enemy. He plowed over the first stream of enemies and landed in their legions. He began slashing and swiping insanely at the Dark Rebellion forces.
“That fool!” Cirno exclaimed. “Is he mad?”
“No,” Dome corrected, “He just loves to fight. A little too much I might add.”
The Empire’s forces held their own against the large sum of soldiers of the Dark Rebellion. However there were just too many of the Dark Rebellion to defend against and the Empire began getting pushed back toward the south wall.
Blue-Phoenix watched from a distance deciding on the correct time to attend the fray. But suddenly he began sensing an incoming presence from behind them. He turned and looked into the sky and saw a small object gleaming in the sunlight headed toward them.
“What is that?” He asked himself.
He looked closer and he made it out to be some sort of flying object. However it was descending down fast and was about to impact on their army!
“Everyone scatter!” Blue ordered.
The soldiers were too focused on getting into the Empire to here Phoenix’s orders. However the rumbling sound of the approaching object gained there attention, but at the wrong time.
The object, now clearly identified as a spaceship, crashed into the back of the Dark Rebellion’s forces and caused a large shockwave that spread out in a dome shape. Blue-Phoenix took higher elevation in the sky on his cloud. Paddy noticed the incoming shockwave and immediately heading back in the area of the Empire’s troops. He quickly slammed the blades of both his weapons into the ground. Instantaneously, the blades created a large shield that protected the Empire from the shockwave that hit moments after it came up.
Cirno landed next to Paddy, “Thanks. I was beginning to think you had lost your nerve somewhere in there.”
“Oh come now,” Paddy said, “I may love a good fight but I am still aware of what’s going on.”
Blue-Phoenix looked at the ship that crashed landed in the ground. A large rounded piece in the ship began opening and someone or something sprang out of it with a quickness. A blue stream of light smashed through the forces in the back and was headed towards the south wall. Blue-Phoenix immediately recognized who it was.
“That’s one of men from the other world,” Blue-Phoenix said. “I thought Sonidow killed him!”
The presence of Lieutenant Drahcir was made known to the Dark Rebellion. The warrior from the other world slashed his way through the enemy forces with his blue-lit beam sword and continued toward the south wall with no one stopping him.

Storm clouds began approaching from the west. Symbolically, they were hovering over the castle’s main building as Evil Sonidow and Zabobula stood on top of it.
“So we meet again,” Zabobula said. “Now we can finish what we started back in G4F.”
“So it seems,” Sonidow replied. “I hope you have become stronger than our last fight. Otherwise this will be quick.”
“I can say the same for you,” Zabobula smirked holding up his left fist.
However, Zabobula blinked and Sonidow had flashed behind him. “Not exactly.”
Zabobula was startled for the moment. Evil Sonidow continued. “I have always been stronger than you. The fact that you have wasted all this time looking for me has made you weaker than before.”
“No,” Zabobula said, “Chasing you for all this time has only made me stronger.”
Sonidow looked down at Zabobula’s hands which were glowing highly. He knew what that meant and immediately leapt in the sky avoiding the blast that shortly followed. The blast was so powerful a large chunk of the main building had fell off and landed on the secondary building below it.
Inside the main building, Lord Razen and Azriel faced off.
“It has begun already?” Lord Razen said to himself.
“So great leader,” Azriel said drawing a card from his pocket, “What will thy do now? You may have defeated Noir by changing him, but I will not be so easy to trick.”
“I see,” Razen said shedding his royal clothing unveiling his battle clothing under it.
“So you were prepared,” Azriel noticed. “But no matter. This Empire is coming to an end and we of the Dark Rebellion will create its new beginning.”
“We shall see,” Razen said.

“But he’s a former Dark Rebellion member,” Fice began. “How can we trust him?”
“I don’t expect you to,” Noir answered as the question was directed at Robo. “Their organization is based on reprisal and retaliation, not Justice.”
“I understand,” Robo said, “So are you sure you want to go through with this?”
“Yes I…”
Noir’s answer was cut short as cloaked men began dropping from the trees in the forest. They landed in a line and one dropped in front of all of them.
“So you have turned on us,” the one in front said.
“What is this?” Noir said stepping in front of everyone else. “Who are you?”
The cloaked man snickered and removed his hood. “I am Lukas, you replacement, and your executioner.”
Fice, Snorbet, and Sir Frog stayed behind for the moment. Robo and Haywire stepped toward Noir and stood on both sides of him.
“We cannot allow you to interfere with our plans,” Robo said.
“Neither can we,” Lukas said. “Robo.”
Robo was somewhat surprised this cloaked man knew who he was.
“I know everything,” Lukas said. “Sonidow told me. And so you cannot be made to carry out your plans that will interfere with ours. Even if we have to kill you, he said. But we are going to kill you anyway.”
“You will try,” Noir said.
Lightning struck above as the storm began in the forest and headed towards the ways of the Empire…
