Crescent was right....an arrow bursted through the window...headed towards the judge. The whole court room turned brighter within seconds...in a way...it felt like the sun was getting closer...no one could see.
After a while, the bright light died down.... enabling everyone to see once again. Everyone couldn't believe what they saw.... Exavier had caught the arrow with his own hands....and he did that within seconds.
"What sorcery is this", a man yelled out of the crowd...."He is a wizard"....another said.
A man barged into the court room....an arrow has Pierced his shoulder.. but he managed deliver a disturbing message....They were under attack.
The war between Hercules and scornscar kingdom had not ended, so far... Hercules has managed to postpone the final Battle by destroying their barracks and also their food supply....but it seems they have something up their sleeves after all.
All the guards in the kingdom had turn into corpses. "This is bad", Attrius said as he grabbed his sword... heading towards the gate way. "Wait!", Dazeer yelled out Grabbing attrius other arm...."You can't do this alone....the warriors aren't in the palace at this moment...but we can send a message requesting for backup...before that we need to fight in a defensive way... protecting the king"
"The king is in this court room...so he is safe... I'll handle the invaders", Attrius replied as he yanked is hands off Dazeer's and ran out of the court room like a predator chasing it's prey.
"We have to help him out", pharaoh yelled out catching the attention of Exavier.
"What do you mean by that...you can't help him", Exavier replied looking worried after hearing what his father said.
"I can....after all...am a Samurai", Pharaoh said, grabbing the blade he held by his side.
"You can't go out like that father, you'll die", Exavier yelled out
"He won't, cus we'll help him out", Byder uttered as he stood up and followed pharaoh along with Dazeer.
Snide waited behind to protect the king and the citizens in the court room. There were three five guards in the room already.
"I don't think we can hold them off, our numbers aren't encouraging", snide said staring at Exavier.
The king stayed silent... he's eyes roaming about... observing the situation on ground.
Abruptly; a loud bang was heard, multiple scornscar warriors bursted through the roof and landed In court room. Silver appeared behind the king and placed his dagger at his neck, threatening to slit his throat If anyone dares to move closer.
Snide couldn't do anything, he dropped his weapons as instructed by silver...so did the other five guard's. They were defenseless, but Exavier had other plans.
Silver felt good about himself, bit this turned into pain after he was hited on his groin and swung on the ground by the king.
Everyone was shocked to see this unexpected behavior. The king tore off his robe, revealing a gold battle armor and a long and sharp blade. Seems he had prepared for something like this.
"The king is....is", snide struggled to continue is sentence... everyone was short of words. The king was known to be a weakling... relying on his warriors...but it seems he wasn't just a king.
"Don't judge a book by it's cover", Exavier muttered as he remembered what his father always tell him. Silver stood on his feet after a while, snide and the other guards had picked up their blades... everyone was ready for battle.
The king charged first, slamming his blade on silver's, he struggled to maintain his balance but the king didn't give him any chance to do that. A kick repelled him backwards followed be an horizontal slash which Silver surprisingly blocked.
"You are tougher than you look old man", Silver muttered to himself. He swiped his leg to the left, making the king loose his balance and fall. The guards were busy fighting silver's troops, so was snide.
Silver stood up... pointing his blade at the king, a grin appeared on his face as he lashed at the defenseless man. Abruptly; a punch repelled him backwards, he flew far away from the king... slamming his back on the wall.
Exavier smiled as he cracked his knuckles..."There's a lot where that came from", he said as he walked closer. "Stop!!"..the king yelled out.
"I'll finish him myself", the king said... placing his hand on his blade and holding it tightly
"Are you sure about this?", Exavier replied hoping for an encouraging reply.
"yes I am...now leave this place and help the others in the battle field.....You may be a criminal...but you have proven to be loyal...an that's what we need right now"
On hearing this, Exavier..snide and the guards ran out of the room, leaving the king and several scornscar warriors alone with him.
He took a deep breath, holding his blade tightly. He dashed towards the warriors swinging his blade around while they all try to block or evade.
*******************
Attrius and the others were surrounded, they had no where to go. Dazeer who was shooting arrows from a distance had been tied up while pharaoh had fallen unconscious behind a crate.
"What am I gonna do", attrius thought to himself. He was caught off guard as a blade penetrated his left arm, yelling out in pain, he knelt down to catch his breath..the warriors surrounded him and lashed at him at once.
Abruptly; the warriors were thrown away by an unseen force...they slammed their bodies on different items and objects in different directions. Attrius looked up and saw Exavier who stretched his hand to help him up.
Attrius held on to it and slowly got up... grabbing his sword and freeing Dazeer.
"Where us my father", Exavier asked Looking around
"Don't worry he is safe...buh what are you guys doing here", Attrius replied...he had noticed snide and the other guards running towards them
"We came to help", Exavier replied
"What about the king",Dazeer said confusingly
"He's in good hands", Exavier uttered smirking mischievously
"Let's show these guys what teamwork is all about", Exavier yelled out...his comrades filled with confidence and determination.
