the second coming of greed / Completed

chapter 32

They woke up to the war horn the enemy was there, the door swung open and the king said

You once said this was your war, time to prove it

The five-friend got up and got ready

I know I have yet to prove myself but I'm fighting on your side and will do anything I can to help you out

I am finally beginning to trust you said Fang, prove Tauren right

Kenshin didn't know how this could have happen, he started to hear the fight break out. How did they arrive so quick and so silently? But it didn't matter This was the entirety of his journey coming to an end. This was the fight destined to happen. The fate of this world will be decided today, leaving in a hurry thanks to Drake skill, it was as easy and quick. The situation looked good, Of course, it's impossible for a war to look good, thought Kenshin but they were following the plan. It was when they saw the fighting on the battlefield, that they begin to have hope. Sure, the enemy was in higher number but there was a certain method to madness on the battlefield. Natural enemy we're fighting, there was a chance that they could win the war. All hope left when they heard a roar they look at the west to see a dragon.

I thought they were all extinct, said Tingle

We. We are direct descendants. It's possible that they transform some of my clanmates. Trough dark arts.

Dragons were hard to kill. The hardest part was their position. They were in a castle. The simple fire breathing would burn all of their ranks. Just then they heard a cry at the west. It was the eagle they had decide to join the fight, even Tauren didn't know if it would be enough. But they have no choice. They got down on the battlefield just to find a whole area empty. It was as if it was protected by a dome. Could it be Figwit? Drake teleported them to the Dome, but what they saw there, they could have never been prepared for. There was a shadow version of them. These saw the five reflections look at them. The exchange of glare did not last long. A fight broke out. Shadow Fang attacked Fang. Kenshin, quick thinking, had led him to think. The shadow had the same strength as the normal version. They were fighting each other. While Kenshin avoided arrows after arrows, he got to thinking there was one way. One easy way out.

Fang, you take on Tauren, Tauren you take on Drake. I'll take on Fang. and Drake will take on me. Tingle, you're the strongest of us. You are going to have to fight yourself. Anyone that wins the fight will assist you.

This new strategy improved the situation. Kenshin fighting Fang broke his heart. He had grown to love her, she was slow and although her armor protected her from blows, it was weak to arrows. He completely froze her and shattered her to piece, Fang fight with Tauren had also been simple being a pro at long distance fighting would prove ineffective against Fang aggressive style. Tauren fight with Drake had been a hard one and he was stronger , luckily the real Drake had assisted, it had take him no time to deal with shadow Kenshin which was sad. Tingle had almost been defeated he had his neck in the enemy jaw, when the friends finally helped him even then it was no match for the five of them together at the end of the fight the horrible truth appeared in the middle of the Dome was none other than Sangoku

That's the traitor among your ranks, screamed Drake

Drake teleported but before he could strike Kenshin stopped him

Why betray us Sangoku? You were my familiar. A part of me. How could you do this?

The family looked up before saying.

- I don't know why, but you and Figwit  are related, this world is affected by destiny and you were not supposed to be here. I was your familiar, but before that I was Figwit familiar. I owed him everything. I owed him loyalty.

You can't agree with what he's trying to do. It goes against everything Thrandull ever wanted, said Kenshin

It's not as fault he is possessed you know this, us familiar are suppose to follow blindly. Even if. Figwit win, there will be no more war. Do you want more war Kenshin?

This isn't my world I just live in it. I want the best for it.

But Figwit has primordial blood. He is a direct descendant of this world ruler.

- So was my father Thrandull , I know you Sangoku you're caring and you love this world. You once promised me you'd help me save it. Keep your promise. Please, I beg of you. said Kenshin

The Familiar looked at him now crying.

Here is the truth. The primordial elves are still alive. They are the Lifetree they created it this whole war is a diversion. The Lifetree ruled this world. Whoever controls it control the world. We can still stop him. I sent you to these place hoping the four of you would survive

A portal open and the same beast that had slain the wizard appeared. Kenshin knew it meant that the familiar was breaking the rule.

You and Figwit are related maybe you share his blood, maybe you are a primordial

Just then, the familiar was beheaded. The friends look at each other, sadly. He might have betray them but he gave his life to help Kenshin at the end

Horn, I'm sorry. Said Fang

This war is not over. We still have a chance.

They took a look at the battlefield and knew that they had to act fast.

Drake take me to the world Tree
