Chapter 8 - Returning to Hyrule

On the way back to Hyrule, Lucia kept her eyes closed. Lightning knew she was trying to stay focused for the prediction.

Serah thought about what Zelda had said before. ‘It said, before it vanished, that it’ll be the whole world’s nightmare starting with the…chosen eight.’ Who are the chosen eight? She noticed that everyone else was thinking the same. They stayed quiet.

At the front, the horse whinnied. Link tried to calm it down.

“Epona, it’s okay. Shh…shh…”

“Epona?” Nero asked.

“Yeah. She’s my horse.”

“Oh.” As Link carried on trying to calm her down, Nero saw something from the corner of his eye. “I see why she’s so disturbed.”

“What, why?”

 Nero pointed straight ahead. Epona stopped. They saw a whole army of monsters. One of them was on a boar. He looked like the leader.

“Not Bulblin again,” Link sighed. “Get everyone out of the carriage.”

Nero nodded. He got off and went to the back. “Guys, we have a problem.”

Lucia sighed with eyes still closed. “A demon problem?”

“Actually, monster problem. A whole army is there. We need to fight them off to get through.”

She opened her eyes and smiled. “Why not.”

One by one, they all stepped off the carriage and got ready to face the army. Link was running towards them.

“I have a plan. Devils, go straight ahead. Archers, that’s me and you, Zelda, we go up there.” He pointed to a cliff. “What can you guys do? Magic?” Serah nodded. “Okay then. You guys stay here and just do your magic. And please calm my horse down.”

They all agreed. Only Vergil hesitated.

“How many of them are there?”

Link looked ahead. “By the looks of it, around 150.”

“Oh, alright. Let’s do this.”

Serah looked at Vergil while he was going towards the devils. She knew something was wrong with him. Lightning nudged her. “Get ready, Serah. We’re back-up. Stay focused.”

By the army, Vergil caught up to the rest. Dante smiled. All of them took their swords out. Lucia took out two ornately crafted curved daggers. Nero took out his long sword, Red Queen. Dante took out his own, Rebellion. Vergil took out his katana, Yamato and another regular sword. Dante was confused. Vergil only used two swords when he wanted his defence higher.

“Guys, take out those henchmen.” Nero planned. “Me and Dante will try take the leader. Should we let them get closer? They look kinda scared.” He laughed.

“Hey, focus.” Lucia made it clear. “We need to get to Hyrule.”

Zelda wasn’t ready when the devils attacked. She was looking for her bow.

“Fire!” shouted Link. He shot an arrow, aiming at the leader. Zelda looked down at Serah and Lightning. They were using their magic as if there was no tomorrow. Link nudged her.

“Fire! Come on! We need to get past!”

“Right. Right. Sorry.” She pulled her bow out. It was attached to three of her quivers. One quiver held red arrows, another held blue arrows and another held yellow arrows. She decided to use the red arrows. She took one of them out and shot it. Going towards the monsters, that same arrow lit itself on fire and hit one of the monsters. The monster touched another. The fire was passed on.
