The Adventures of a Sword

Chapter 19

"Private Marcus!" Jordan barked. "Get into position!"
    Private Marcus got into position.
    "Today, we continue our training!" Jordan continued ranting. "For the past two days, things have been deteriorating! Many soldiers have died fighting for us, Emperor Ginold fully became a powerhouse, and we have been losing food supply! Colonel Biorge?"
    "Yes, Captain!" Colonel Biorge called out as he saluted and stepped on stage.
    Jordan and his army were in a warehouse, in case you were wondering. Back on topic, Colonel Biorge started his speech.
    "Emperor Ginold have caused mass destruction," said Colonel Biorge. "He took away our home, family, friends, and land. Many of us were killed. Many of us were injured. There are many soldiers in this army who are missing. But we have hope! Nearly an entire millennium ago, a prophecy that may have well been from Kornol the Great himself stated that our devoted, faithful, powerful, and courageous Captain Jordan will one day destroy Emperor Ginold once and for all. Shout out if you think we will win!"
    The entire army started shouting.
    "Shout out if you think Emperor Ginold will win!"
    Everyone remained silent.
    That night, the soldiers ate dinner while Jordan sat in his tent planning his next attack on Ginold.
    "Is Jordan here?" said a voice coming from outside.
    "Yes, he's in that tent over there," a soldier answered.
    Olivia walked into Jordan's tent.
    "I thought you might want some company," said Olivia.
    "Olivia, what?" Jordan said impatiently. "What do you want?"
    "Well, you look a bit lonely," said Olivia.
    "Olivia, stop it," said Jordan. "We're not kids anymore. It's been hundreds of years since we last had this kind of conversation. I don't have any patience for this anymore. If you want to be an immature ****, go flirt with one of my soldiers. Not me."
    "Don't talk like this," said Olivia. "I still can't understand why you dumped me."
    "You need to go," said Jordan. "Leave. And don't even think of coming back."
    Olivia walked out of the tent.
    Jordan picked up a mirror and looked at it. His face was badly injured and scarred. He had seen things that could give Freddy Krueger nightmares.
The next day, Jordan and his army woke up as early as possible.
"Everyone in position!" Jordan aggressively barked. "So this is our plan! In ten minutes, we gather all of our weapons, shields, armors, and helmets, and we break into Emperor Ginold's castle! Do you understand?! Any questions?!"
"No, Captain!" everyone shouted.
Ten minutes later, the army gathered all of their supplies, and they started marching to Emperor Ginold's castle.
"Captain--" said Private Marcus.
"Haven't I told you to keep your mouth shut and move?" Jordan replied rudely.
"Sorry," Private Marcus said quietly.
The army broke into the palace and started killing everyone in sight.
"We're under attack!" Emperor Ginold screamed.
Balthazar took out a bunch of weapons and started handing them to Emperor Ginold's men.
The palace was filled with gunshots and sounds of slashing, cutting, hitting, and stabbing.
Jordan turned around and saw a dungeon. He ran towards it. Gary and Arnie were inside of the dungeon, playing poker.
"No fair!" Gary yelled. "You cheated!"
"No, you cheated!" Arnie exclaimed. "You cheated cuz you said I cheated!"
"Do you hear that?" Gary said. "It's an army! They're here to rescue us!"
"HELP!! WE'RE IN HERE!!" Arnie screamed. "HELP!!"
Jordan walked near the dungeon.
"Are you here to rescue us?" said Gary. "If you are, THANK YOU. If you're not, GO BACK TO THE SEWERS, YOU ****!!"
"Gary and Arnie," said Jordan, "I'm here to rescue you."
"I recognize you from somewhere," said Arnie. "Are you part of the resistance?"
"No, wait," said Gary. "You're-- Jordan."
"Hello, Gary," said Jordan. "Hello, Arnie."
"Why did you grow a beard?" said Arnie. "And why do you have a bunch of scars, scabs, and bruises on your face? We didn't even recognize you."
"Are you trying to disguise yourself?" Gary said in a goofy voice.
"Gary and Arnie," said Jordan, "I had this conversation with Olivia the other day.
"What conversation?" said Gary.
Before Jordan could reply, the entire palace started burning up.
"Jump!" yelled Jordan. He unlocked the dungeon.
Jordan, Gary, Arnie, and every surviving member of the army jumped out of the palace.
