Legends of Ardonia 3: Color Balance

Chapter 23: Final Fight

Killic looked out over the Ardoni provinces, the helmet of the Totem suit open on his head. Ulia stood next to him inside the Survivor suit. The sun had just started to rise over the horizon, casting the sky in the color of raging fires; the color of destruction. Killic turned around to the armies of the six kingdoms.

Killic: "Soldiers of Ardonia! We stand here today united as one to free our land from the shackles of violence. By the time this day is over, we will all rejoice in a free and peaceful Ardonia!"
The soldiers clapped and cheered.

Killic: "For this I ask one more favor of you. Fight for Ardonia one last time. Stand by my side one last time so that we will never have to wage battles across the land again!"

The soldiers saluted Killic. Sir Gabbro and Sir Gammah stood nearby, not participating in the battle but acting as strategic planners behind the attack.

Killic: "Then we march!"

The plates on Totem's helmet folded into place as Killic turned around, heading for Sendaria. The divisions of soldiers split off to head to every province.

The Ardoni had bunkered themselves in Kaltaria, hedgehogs made of wood and the occasional stone surrounding the province as a make-shift defense. Ardoni archers and marksmen hid behind boulders, trees, and caves, waiting for the oncoming tide of enemies. The four Masters stood in the center of the province along with Morado, Malin, and Enair. Soon, the marching footsteps of soldiers echoed through the air. It seemed Felden was the lucky kingdom to be sent to Kaltaria. Ardoni readied their weapons as the soldiers approached, the enemy shields falling down into place as they crawled closer to the border. A messenger bird suddenly squawked in the air as it flew towards the approaching army. It landed among the army and after a few seconds a shout was heard, causing the army to stop. A familiar Felina with purple hair emerged from the ranks, bearing the note the bird had, and started addressing the Ardoni and the Felden army.

Jeeno: "So...there's been a small change of plans per Sir Yensi's orders. He is to give Flixii back his position and...we're here to help you guys?"

The Felden soldiers murmured with each other at the sudden change of plans.

Enair: "This has to be a trick. She used one of those suits on me, there's no way she would help us."

Esaria: "Settle down, Enair. This is for us Masters to decide."

The Masters stepped down from their place and approached the border of Kaltaria.

Jeeno: "The Felden seal is right there, so it's not fake if that's what you're wondering."

She pointed to the corner of the letter as she handed it over.

Hylis: "Well, we could use all the help we could get, what do you guys think?"

Morado leaned over to whisper to Milan.

Morado: "I think we should try portalling to Flixii's house to see if this is true."

Milan: "I agree."

The two of them went back behind the borders and out of sight. Unbeknownst to the Felden army, Malin was taking them into Flixii's house. An awkward moment of waiting ensued as the two sides remained separated. The two Ardoni came back out to the front, followed by Wendy and Flixii.
