"It's simple, you've got two options, be a man with me and my soldiers and take the enemy head-on. Or be a baby and infiltrate the enemies' ranks in order to help the princes & princesses gain freedom."
[Liam]
"Well for sure we aren't going to just hide and not fight. Who's the first person we need to save?"
[Twilight]
"Well out of the four siblings the closest one is Gixoh, he's been locked away in the Tower of Fithonia. My soldiers and I will be heading over there in a few hours. So you have time to prepare. Don't wander too far away from the campgrounds."
[Liam]
S.Y. 641 Agi 5 11:05 L.Q. - Manshu Kingdom Campground Outskirts
"Okay before we head over to Fithonia we should go over some ground rules."
[Liam]
"Ground rules?"
[Twilight]
"Yeah these are just some basic combat procedures to make sure you don't fuck up."
[Liam]
Liam proceeds to go over some of the rules and formations of his man and him. From there the journey to Fithonia was made. It didn't take more than an hour to arrive but when they did they were greeted with a mass of Zenshu Cult Members.
"I wasn't expecting there to be this many."
[Liam]
"Do you think we can take them?"
[Soldier 1]
"I'm sure with the help of this 'legendary' Forsaken killer we should."
[Soldier 2]
"Well I am pretty strong so it shouldn't be much of an issue. I do have one question though. Can you tell me more about the Cult Members, I actually ran into one a while ago?"
[Twilight]
"Oh you did and I'm guessing you defeated that one all by yourself too huh?"
[Liam, sarcastically]
"Yeah, I actually did, for a matter of fact. That's not the point though, I was wondering if you could tell me about their ranks. The few I fought seemed to be wearing the same type of uniform as the ones ahead."
[Twilight]
"Oh you mean the Zen and Zenoic, they're the weakest of the ranks honestly. So I'm not surprised you were actually capable of defeating them. All my men can defeat at least a Ziora. But other than them there are 3 more ranks Zora, Zoda, and Zodiac. By any chance do you know the different Guardian Knight ranks."
[Liam]
"Not really but I did meet a Phoenix back in Adrilla Island, her name was Sheia. She also told me about Hatchlings, I had to help train a few of them."
[Twilight]
"Okay if you know what a Phoenix is you should think of a Zoda as someone of the same caliber. As for Hatchlings they are on the same caliber as Zen. The other ranks for the Guardians would be Bird which is the same as Zenoic, Hawk which is the same as Ziora. Lastly, the Zodiac's are the same as White Phoenix's. Just so you know I'm actually a Hawk myself."
[Liam]
"Thanks for that bit of information."
[Twilight]
"I don't really care what rank he is though."
[Twilight, thinking]
"If that's everything you need to know let's get this battle started."
[Twilight]
"You know, let's make it interesting, why don't you and I make a bet. Let's see who can defeat the most soldiers."
[Liam]
"What do we get if we win?"
[Temti]
"Sorry I didn't think you'd be fighting with us too little man."
[Liam, sarcastically]
"He's actually one of the reasons I was able to survive back in Adrilla Island."
[Twilight, annoyed]
"Okay well if that's the case then my men will be included too. Let's see who can make it to 100 first."
[Liam]
[New Quest Acquired]
As soon as the agreement was made Liam and his men rushed into battle, giving Temti and I no time to prepare. One after another they were taking Zen's down, I wasn't counting but I heard Liam yelling a few times. By the time we joined and started fighting as well Liam had already reached 35. I had no choice but to use Freeze, which brought us up to speed. Liam was pretty shocked when he saw the mass of Zen around him drop to the floor.
"That makes 28."
[Twilight, in a cocky tone]
"Oh fuck you, I know you cheated."
[Liam, angry]
"You didn't say anything about using skills."
[Twilight, with a giggle]
"If that's the case then just watch this."
[Liam]
Liam then released an array of stars, I wasn't expecting it but they began to explode. He then began to zoom through the crowd, finally reaching the Zeonic half.
"That makes 56."
[Liam, in a cocky tone]
From here it became a full-on competition between just Liam and I. As we made our way to the tower. Eventually, I think we both lost count and just kept having fun with it. Seeing who could defeat the Zeonic faster. When we finally got to the tower, we were more than shocked to find it already on fire.
"What do you think is happening up there?"
[Temti]
"I'm not sure but we need to hurry, I hope Gixoh isn't hurt."
[Liam]
We begin to make our way to the top, fighting through a bunch more Zenoic. Not really knowing where Gixoh was, we began to frantically search through the cells. Eventually, we arrived at a single cell that seemed to be already open. Where a young boy was already fighting his way through a crowd of Zeonics. He eventually made his way to Temti and I. Since Liam was still checking other rooms I proceeded to approach him as well.
"Who are you? Are you trying to stop me from getting out of here? I won't let you get in my way."
[Stranger]
The Stranger Proceeds to attack Twilight.
"Stop already! Who are you and why are you attacking me?"
[Twilight]
"Why should I, you're the enemy, and you're in the way. So please get out of it."
[Stranger]
"No I'm not your enemy I'm here looking for a boy by the name of Gixoh, have you seen him? Did you happen to free him along your way."
[Twilight]
"And why should I tell you that? How do I know you actually came here to free him."
[Stranger]
"Because the queen asked me to come, now will you hurry and tell me."
[Twilight]
"Mom told you to come, is she alright? What about dad?"
[Stranger]
"Wait, are you him, why didn't you just say that? Your mom is fine but we've gotta get out of here."
[Twilight]
"Liam is still searching through the rooms. If you're really who I think you are, we need to find him now."
[Temti]
We head over to the other side of the tower where Liam has searched the last room.
"Gixoh, is that you?"
[Liam, rushing over to greet the prince]
"I'm glad to see you too Liam."
[Gixoh, happily]
"So you are the one we're here to find, I'm glad we didn't kill each other.
[Temti, as Twilight nods in agreement]
"Wait, you fought the prince?"
[Liam, angrly]
"It's actually my fault, I assumed they were an enemy the moment I saw them."
[Gixoh]
"You don't look hurt, so I guess I'll let it slide for now."
[Liam, calming down]
After saving Gixoh we, he had to fight our way through what was left of the Cult Guards. After a successful escape we made our journey back to the Campgrounds.
