As the army of terror approached the Order's ranks, Sword looked around in dismay, the Order was falling apart and very soon if they didn't escape soon, then they would never have a chance to counter and the PC would fall into enemy hands. Sword knew that the only way for them to win was to escape and that would be dangerous if they all would to just dash into the back lines which would result in many deaths. He realized that the only way to escape was to cause a distraction to divert the attention of the army towards the distraction and away from the escape point.


Sword: Ryder... take your pups and go to Zack... tell him to wait until the back ranks have been cleared... then, get out of here.

Ryder: On it and you?

Sword: I will be a distraction to lure the troops away from the back rank.

Ryder: And then you will come, along right?


Sword said nothing, just lowered his head.


Ryder: Sword?

Sword: *sighs* I can't.

Ryder: Wait what?

Sword: My time here is done. You must now go on without me.

Ryder: No I'm not leaving you.


Zack and Shadow noticed the conversation and moved in.


Zack: Are you sure about this?

Sword: I am.

Shadow: But... you know that you will...

Sword: I am ready for this, it is time that I save the Order so that they can fight another day.

Zack: If that's his decision... then we can't change it.

Sword: It has been an honor to serve with the Order.

Zack: And it was great having you on our team.

Shadow: You will never be forgotten my friend.

Ryder: Sword I....

Sword: Thank you for making me feel at home again.

Ryder: I'll miss you.

Sword: Me too.

Skye: Sword your...

Sword: It must be done.

Skye: No... there must be some other way... so that you don't need to....

Sword: I wish there was.... But there is no changing the past.


Suddenly, a skeleton arrow zipped past their head and landed somewhere near them.


Sword: We have to move now!


Zack and Shadow nodded and turned away to their troops and same did for Ryder though he did have to pick up Skye in the process. As Skye watched Sword's form slowly became smaller she saw the unexpected. He smiled. Then she lost sight of him.


Meanwhile Sword and a few others who had volunteered to stay with him started to fight their way through countless numbers of enemies with one Order troops falling for every seven to eight monsters. Soon their numbers from thirty that they started off with down to only Sword and three others.


Sword was clashing with a Juggerknight while two more were facing a zombie each and the last was encountering two deads. As Sword finished of the Juggerknight, he heard a cry of pain near him, he turned and saw one of the remaining survivors on the floor most likely almost dead from the deads poison, without hesitation he rushed forward to attack the deads but soon found out that more had joined in. He knew that he had to take out the general in order to most likely stop this.


As he jumped over dead flesh and swing blades, he saw a dead in the distance not moving but somehow directing the battle, as he closed in on it he noticed a scar running down his right eye and immediately stopped but soon realized that it was a mistake. Three Juggerknights were closing in on him while the rest of the deads turned to finish off the last few survivors as Sword tried his hardest to fight of the Juggerknights, he couldn't stop looking at that dead leader and knew it might be his only way to survive.


Sword: Brother!


No reply from the dead.


Sword: *blocks an axe* I know you're in there. Please it's me... your brother...


Still no reply but it started to move just a little.


Sword: You saved the Order once remember?


The dead was now shaking with its hands over it head like trying to shake off something from the mind.


Sword: Please......


Meanwhile Marrowkai began to sense that something was wrong and started scanning the area but couldn't identify it.


Sword: Come on brother....

Dead leader: I.... I....

Sword: You can do it!

Dead Leader: .......... I fight for the ORDER!


Sword was now on his knees and was just blocking attacks as the Juggerknights were now five. Sword's brother wasted no time and grabbed an axe and threw it at one of the Juggerknights. The axe destroyed one of them and the rest were in shock, this gave Sword the opportunity to attack and managed to destroy two more before the remaining two regained their self but they stood no chance and fell quickly. Then, joined by their last survivor the trio made their last stand. By then, they had distracted enough enemies so that the Order had been long gone.


Survivor: So, this is your brother.

Sword: Yes.

Survivor: Wow I always wondered how he looked like.

Sword: Well this isn't his actual form.

Sword's brother: Well I looked almost like Sword except with the scar.

Survivor: Cool.

As the final wave closed in upon them, the three said their last words.

Sword: Just like old times?

Sword's brother: Just like old times.

All: FOR THE ORDER!!


The they charged fourth and fought until they no longer drew breath with the survivor falling first followed by Sword and finally his brother.
