"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, BOYS AND GIRLS, WELCOME TO THE VERY FIRST, IN TWO MILLENNIUM, BATTLE .. OF... UNISON!!!" The announcer's voice echoed in eardrums as contestants the were saying their final farewells to family. "You will do great Amethyst I have no doubt." She trusted his words.
"My beautiful Áxios..." Amethyst cut her off
" Quad... Um... Mother I know more than what I let on about what is happening today. I have heard chatter amongst snakes while we are prepared in there you must be ready out here." She nodded, she was not sure why her daughter had lied but she pushed it aside ready to take action and she felt pride as Amethyst wished her the best of luck while they were gone. Amethyst stepped onto the platform and indicated to her teammates, who were still talking to their family, that it was time.
As the platform rose she heard the announcer introducing Bèatre and her team. Then it was her turn
"NEXT WE HAVE THE ONE, AND THE ONLY LOST DAUGHTER HERSELF, THE DAUGHTER OF MYSTERY, ÁXIOS FEROX!!" As her name was announced their team was rising above the crowd towards a door on a brick wall.
"FIGHTING ALONG SIDE HER, WE HAVE THE SWORDSWOMAN OF THE NORTH AND TWO DIRECT LINKS TO THE BLOODLINE OF THE LATE BROSHUAN!!" The crowd cheered wildly for them and for a brief momment Amethyst was lost in all the excitement but she was shaken back into reality when the platform stopped."BEST OF LUCK CHILDREN OF THE NORTH!!!" that was the last thing they heard after stepping through the door that sealed behind them.
"I am guessing we should follow the lit torches." Ćib Riat said "Gee... I wonder what gave that away." Nab did not like idea of torches lightning up like the place they were going to is cursed. At the last torch there was another door and it was a very tense moment. They hesitated before turning the lock. What they didn't expect was a talking elevator with seats but that is what they got
"Welcome children of the north please be seated and restrain yourselves from trying to unbuckle the seatbelts because they are for your own safety."
The seatbelts appeared out of nowhere and buckled itselves it was like magic. They braced themselves and the next thing you know they moving faster than any speed humanly possible. Ćib Riat almost threw up and Nab Press kept cursing Anzula. When whatever they were in came to a stop they stepped into an armory with many different weapons and armour. All sharp edges were in the colour dark purple but none was as beautiful as the sword that Amethyst had laid eyes upon as she enterd the room. That is what she believed but everyone else found something just as special.
After testing the balance of her sword Amethyst turned around to see her teammates with a special type of sparkle in their eyes while holding something from the armory. Bronon gathered many things that could be used to make mechanical weapons he even got things that could make chemical weapons. Nab Press had a sword that was very different from the one Amethyst had chosen but you could see that she loved it. Cib Riat had a bow and arrow which works for her. After getting their main weapons they started filling up bags with other weapons and packed some in their armour. "Does this mean we are ready Amethyst."
She was just about to answer Ćib when a voice came from the walls; it sounded like the voice that haf spoken in the elevator.
"Be you live at the end
and be thine enemies dead
Anzula summons you
so you best not stumble
You are equipped but are you ready
Sadly Anzula does not care
For she is ready for you Children of the North."
With that the ceiling opened up and a ladder came down. "Ladies and gent let's go beat the unbeatable." With that said everyone followed Amethyst up the ladder with their shields overheard to cover each other. They took out the map and headed south towards Neptan. "All right listen up, the plan is simple:
1.) Sail to Neptan using Bronon's invention
2.) Get Ćib Riat to a higher ground while Bronon uses a machine to make it hard for them
3.) Nab Press and I attack people from the ground.
4.) get to their base at any cost."
"Yes mam." They said in unison.
"State your business!!!" A man yelled at Nab Press and Amethyst, from behind a rock, with plain disrespect.
" You know our business here so spare yourself the fight and surrender."
Nab Press added "It would be wise!!" to the statement. The man had absolutely no intentions of surrendering so with that they began. Ćib Riat fired the first arrow from the highest tree she could find and Bronon was running the machine that made her blend into the background. She took out their archer while he was aiming at the pair and the arrow he was aiming fired at us almost taking out an eye. "That was a little too close for comfort." Amethyst murmured and charged towards the man who had now gotten up from behind the rock.
He was not alone, I repeat he was not alone there was a woman there with him and she looked mean, emphasis on the mean. In fact she struck first, she ran towards Amethyst with her sword drawn ready to take off her head but our little soldier was quick enough on her feet. However, Amethyst's movements only agitated her and she was even more upset when Nab Press and switched dancing partners. Amethyst couldn't help but think these soldiers were just too clingy. They kept switching opponents, their opponents could barely keep up because their unison was way off. The man got stabbed in the back and the woman was stabbed in the chest twice. Amethyst thought the second wound would teach her not to cling on to anyone again. As they fell Ćib Riat and Bronon came down from the tree and the four grouped up. " Three down two to go." Bronon looked like he was actually excited. Why you may ask, he is the key to us finding the base and he did his research so they should be a little further up North, or atleast that is what he is telling his commrades. "Bronon there is nothing here, check again." Nab Press was not a fan of standing in the open but she didn't want to yell at the guy who was reading the map but Ćib Riat had no problem with that "You blinking moron you've went ahead and gotten us lost!!!" After that Nab Press thought why not "Check the bloody map again Bronon!!!"
"Everybody shut up and listen!!" Amethyst didn't know if he was angry or not so she listened "Do you here that, it is here because I am right and if I am right standing here isn't safe someone might be watching us."
Bronon tried to warn Amethyst but it was too late. He had just warned them of the possibility of being watched only a minute before flares started firing at them at close range from everywhere. They were in the middle of a war zone and pinned down. Ćib Riat led them through a little gap between fires but when Bronon turned to check on everyone he noticed Amethyst was being grabbed through some sort of barrier.
"Amethyst!!" Said girl turned to look at Bronon when she felt a tug on her entire being "Behind you!!"
