Ch. 16. reunited


Lo'lo, Daylight and Aladdin decended secretly by a set of rocks, just outside the village.The village was square in the middle of this one rock island with the island behind surrounded by sea and no other village around, It's no wonder they raided for supplies. the boys and Daylight couldn't really charge into the front as a giant wall blocked any who wanted to get in which had guards patrolling the top. Only way in from what they could see was the gate entrance.

Luckily Aladdin observed the area from before landing on the ground, "Ok, I remember seeing-" before Aladdin could finish his sentence he saw Lo'lo ready to charge, he was just out of their rock's hiding spot when Aladdin got in front of him stopping him from charging. "Wait Lo'lo!"

"What?" Lo'lo looked down, "All I need to do is charge in there, get Dauwn and ask her out on another date." he said going step by step in his head.
"The others are suppose to arrive soon and if we go charging in there, not only will the guards be aware of us but the others will have a hard time getting in." Aladdin explained

Lo'lo was dumbfound and pretty annoyed that this kid thought of all that. he sighed "Alright, what do you suggest, kid?"
"What I was going to say was that I saw a hole on the other side of the wall, we can sneak in through that way." he explained. Lo'lo had to give it to Aladdin; he was smarter then he was at that age.

So without much trouble the three made their way around to where Aladdin saw the hole which he easily climbed in. Lo'lo has a harder time getting in as the hole was probably made by kids for kids to use but with some adjusting Lo'lo got it. just as the kid said, the village was just on the other side of the hole.
"I wonder how this didn't get discovered." Lo'lo scratched his head.

Aladdin shrugged his shoulders "let's not question it." Daylight neighed, She was to big to fit in the hole. "Sorry, girl your gonna have to wait outside." Lo'lo said lightly.
Daylight neighed again sadly knowing she couldn't follow.
"Do us a favor and wait for my captain and your family." L'o'lo told her with a smile as he reached out to her and gave Daylight a gentle pat on the head, "looks like I got to ride you after all." Lo'lo laughed lightly as he watched the horse run off.

Aladdin got a hiding place when he saw to people walking towards where they were. "Lo'lo people are coming!" Aladdin whispered to Lo'lo.
seeing this Lo'lo grabbed Aladdin by the head and carried him to a more hidden place.
"Where do you think Dauwn is??" Lo'lo asked
Aladdin looked around then notice the giant building that looked like a small castle. "Maybe there??" he pointed to the castle.

They were about to make there way to the building when they heard commotion from the guards. One solider went running to where four men were stationed.
"The prisoner has escaped!" one of the guards said, he had came to gather fighting arms.
Two warriors got up and went off to stop the prisoner from escaping.

"Is it the girl from the main land village?" one of the two remaining Guard asked.
The man who came for the warriors nodded. Once the two guards were alone they began to talk about something that set everything off in Lo'lo's head.
"I don't know why we're even "helping" the young couple get married."

The word 'Married' rang in Lo'lo head, Aladdin's face was pouring in sweat as he slowly and nervously looked up at Lo'lo to see his reaction. Lo'lo had a blank face which Aladdin couldn't see any type of emotion. Although many emotions were swimming through his body trying to reach the top of his mind, confusion, jealousy, shocked finally two feelings settled at the top of Lo'lo's head. Heartbreak and fury! His face twisted into one of a ferocious animal, he bared his teeth like they were fangs and his eyes grew sharp as a deadly predator. He fought hard to keep the tears from falling down his face.
Lo'lo walked forward to the guards with Aladdin unable to keep him in place. The guards turned their heads where they met the eyes with a furious Fanalis.

"OH NO!" Aladdin cried as the next seconds were filled with screams of terror and roaring of Lo'lo. Aladdin ran after the crazed fanalis who was running on all fours killing the warriors who came at them.
This seriously put a pin in their plans

------------------------------------------


While Lo'lo was causing chaos in the village Dauwn was hiding from guards who were looking for her. She crouched down behind a shelf as some viking warriors were searching the room. She found where the exit was but she couldn't leave yet. Dauwn needed to get her djinn equip back.
"Did you find her?" Garth asked coming into the room.
The vikings shook their head, Garth sighed deeply and pinched the bridge of his nose. One of the vikings asked "Why are you so interest in marrying this girl anyways. You say your in love with her but we hear you complain on how annoying she is."

Garth glanced up at the vikings and sighed, "Fools. Have you ever wondered about the heart on her forehead?" he asked and went on "I never thought about it when we were kids since I thought it was a tattoo but I learned some time ago that she's part of a species long gone."

What? what was he talking about? Dauwn became confused and silent as she rubbed her little heart that was on her forehead gently.

"I read in a scroll that the heart grants power when a Syrin is married. Then the heart will grant that power to their spouses. With that power, I'll increase the knuna territory when I'm in charge. Plus..Dauwn is a very beautiful woman and will most likely produce healthy handsome sons." he finish.

"Well no argument there." The left viking had to agree on Dauwn's beauty. Dauwn herself couldn't wrap her head around what she just heart. Did he just call her a Syrin? What does her heart do with anything?? She was so confused she almost didn't hear shouts coming from outside. The three vikings and Garth look outside to see Lo'lo causing chaos.
"Damn! he came for her!" Garth looked to the warriors "Find her quick, I'll deal with that brute.." he says as he wonders off.

Dauwn shoot her head up, 'He came for her?', her family and Aladdin must be here to save her. Dauwn felt joy that melted her confusion.

"Why do we listen to him?" one of them said as Garth left.
"Malence said he'll will deal with him...perhaps any second now rather then much later." The smaller one said

Dauwn watched as they left, she'll have to join up with her family and Aladdin later. She needed her metal vessel. Running down the hallway she eventually came across a large door which she swung open without thinking, bad mistake, when she opened the door multiple eyes fell on Dauwn.
It was the mess hall. Dauwn's eyes darted at all the viking warriors all over the room at the tables, now getting up and slowly moving towards her. "hey" she smiled awkwardly as the vikings closed in on her. "...so..how's my wedding cake??"

-------------------------


Outside Lo'lo was crushing the skulls of the vikings at charged at him, not one could get close enough to him. When the cost seemed to be clear for the moment Aladdin finally got in front of Lo'lo, tears swelling in Aladdin's eyes
"SPOT IT, Lo'lo!" Aladdin yelled

"OUT OF THE WAY, ALADDIN!" Lo'lo yelled back.

"Your taking this too far!" he shot back

"They deserve it! Their a bunch of murdering band of raiders!" Lo'lo argued

"Not all of them are!!" Aladdin shouted as he pointed at the huts.
Lo'lo looked at where he was pointing at. The fierce look flooded away when he saw normal citizens made up of children, women and elders all of them looking terrified of Lo'lo, some children were evening crying when they watched a man squeeze the heads on their fathers.
knowing this know Lo'lo's body relaxed and was replaced with shame. "I know your mad Lo'lo. We don't know what's really happening here but we gotta think smarter about this instead of being angry about it." Aladdin scolded

Lo'lo let out a sigh, again he was being told by a little kid. It was a real blow to his pride. "Now, come on! This way!" Aladdin ran off in a different direction with Lo'lo following him. The two ran through the rows of huts and houses, as they ran a large number of footsteps were followed behind and ahead of them.

"Damn I think they're gonna surround us!" Lo'lo called out Aladdin made a quick turn down a corner away from the approaching foot steps ahead with Lo'lo behind him. Aladdin had himself and Lo'lo cut many corners to get away from approaching footsteps until the magi ran into someone with Lo'lo running right into Aladdin in turn and who ever they crashed into. Lo'lo and Aladdin looked up to see who it was, their worried/battle ready expressions turned into joy when they saw who it was.
"DAUWN!" they exclaimed happily.

Dauwn was there rubbing her hair and looked up at the sound of her name "Aladdin! Lo'lo!" Seeing both of her friends there made her heart glow..literally a tiny light illuminated in her forehead heart, only Aladdin seemed to notice it.
"Dauwn, your ok!" Lo'lo rushed past Aladdin and pulled Dauwn into a tight hug
The wind was knocked out of her by the impact even though she couldn't really breath by the tight hug she couldn't but smile as hugged him back. Aladdin smiled seeing the two embrace.
Getting up on their feet Lo'lo began his apology "Dauwn, I am so sorry about that night. if I had just stayed a little longer this wouldn't-"
"No it's alright, I should be the one who's sorry. I didn't tell you that i could have brought you home earlier and instead I kept you around for myself.." Dauwn replied

"Dauwn..." he made a little smile. "I loved staying there with you. I wasn't exactly complaining much." Lo'lo exhaled deeply. "I just overreacted."
"I wasn't really thinking myself" she smiled back
Lo'lo lifted up his fist midway "friends?"
Dauwn lifted her own and pressed her fist into his making a light fist bump "friends."
Aladdin gave Lo'lo a light push

Lo'lo looked down on him for just a moment then he remembered. "oh, right. Dauwn, I want to tell you.." Lo'lo took a deep breath, " I love you, heart head."
Dauwn blacked out for a moment before she snapped back and made a big gasp, blushing madly.
"And I want to ask if you wanna go another date with me??"
Dauwn said nothing for a while making Lo'lo worry of her answer. She looked on the ground for something then took a step on a rock to reach Lo'lo's eye level "I'd love that." she said smiling this made Lo'lo smile widely. Lo'lo closed his eye and leaned in expecting this is where they kiss but he felt Dauwn's nose tip touched his, he opened his eyes to see she'd pressed her nose into his. Lo'lo made a light eye roll as they shared a soft Eskimo kiss.

"Awe, well ain't that just..so darn cute!" A deep voice came from behind them. "It makes me want to throw up my lunch." The three turned to see Malence behind him was a number of warriors thought not one matched Mal in height and weight.

Lo'lo stood in front of Aladdin and Dauwn as a protective gesture "oh look, he has my metal vessel." Dauwn chimed up pointing at the stick.
Aladdin took notice of the metal vessel and the other thing in his hand. "uh and he's got something else."
Dauwn's eyes went wide as she realised what it was "you didn't..!"
"Oh you mean this??" Malence held up, to Dauwn's horror, Garth's severed head. "what do you say boy?" Mal spoke to the head he held, "Are you happy to see them together? Probably not." he said to himself amused.

"oh, how it was so funny to see his face when I ripped his head off like a piece of weed." He laughed
"I thought you two had a thing going on there why kill him now??!" Dauwn demanded to know
Malence shrugged his shoulders "We did. I may have told a little white lie. I actually came to this part of the world, for you." Dauwn was taken back while Lo'lo and Aladdin went into a fight ready stance.

"I only worked with him cause I thought you had to marry to unlock your gift. Then your hubby can redirect your stuff to someone else. That's why I convinced him to let me in on his kidnap wedding scheme. I even gave him my precious white lion as a 'trust me' gift."
he explained "He got a annoying real fast, So when I learned this whole marriage thing wasn't required you can imagine how glad I was to kill the sucker."


all three of them narrowed their eyes "All of this is just so you can get to Dauwn?"
Malence's eyes fell on Aladdin, "hey kid, It was comepletely pointless when even I thought about it." he noted to Aladdin as he tossed away Garth's head off to the side. "Wasted my time with this shit when I could have taken the Syrin myself."
"blah, blah,blah!" Lo'lo interrupted "I don't really care about the deals you made. let's just get this started!" he called out with a smile on his face as he ran towards Malence.

Dauwn and Aladdin watched as Lo'lo reared his fist. To Lo'lo's shock Mal moved his head to the side. Lo'lo had missed his target for the first time in ages. A smile spread a across Mal's face as it was his turn. A force his Lo'lo's right cheek, the power of the punch was enough to send lo'lo flying back towards the ground. "Lo'lo!" Dauwn and Aladdin exclaimed in worry.
Getting up in a half sit Lo'lo looked at Mal in surprise then it changed into an amused smirk. Looks like this guy isn't like the ordinary men after all.
"Alright.. A real challenge!" Lo'lo pounced at Mal, At first Mal attempted to use Dauwn's staff, giving it a swing. Lo'lo dodged just in time to get a returned a punch to Malence's left cheek. Lo'lo's strength forced Mal to fly through the air, skidding on the ground in turn.

"Chief!" The warriors attempted to help him up but Mal shoved them off. During his flight down Malence had dropped Dauwn's staff, taking the opportunity Lo'lo grabbed the metal vessel as tossed it
"Heart head, catch!" Lo'lo called out


unfortunately Dauwn missed and it hit her squarely in the head knocking her over. Luckily Aladdin was there to get her back up.

"Damn it! Get that staff back!" Malence ordered "Leave the Fanalis to me!"

"har-har infigar!" Aladdin shouted a black of flame shot out at the group of the vikings charging at the two.
Dauwn tapped the incoming vikings with the tip of her staff making the individual teleported to somewhere else. "Look out Dauwn!" Aladdin called out
Dauwn spun around to block a hammer swing. A crack appeared on the staff. Aladdin became worried about her staff breaking Dauwn had ruined her metal vessel. however Dauwn seemed to be smiling. She squeezed tight on the staff cracking the bamboo entirely.
"Thanks, you finally got my metal vessel free." Dauwn chimed.
The bits and pieces of the bamboo flaked off revealing a brilliant golden staff covered in jewels. Dauwn used the staff in a much more effective way now that the wooden coat was off. Aladdin smiled at this, so the real metal vessel was in the bamboo.

"Hey Dauwn! you have teleportation, can't you get us outta here once we get to Daylight??" Aladdin asked as he evaded the vikings.
"I'm not sure, that would be three of us and I haven't teleported that many before!" she replied sheepishly.
Lo'lo turned his head as he tossed Malence threw the air towards a hut, "Ah what!? your completely useless with that thing!" Lo'lo shouted out.

"Shut up, Lo'lo! there's also the chance I might mess up and teleport all of us including the vikings!" Dauwn yelled back
"Guys, This isn't the time!" Aladdin butted in
"Fine!" Dauwn shunned Lo'lo from her sight in a pout.
"oh no you don't, I ain't letting this thing up, Dauwn just try teleporting us out!" Lo'lo shouted
"oooohh! Fine!" Dauwn cried out "I was just a little lazy.."
"Dauwn!" Aladdin and Lo'lo shouted with that Dauwn focused her energy and activated her Djinn equip. Lo'lo looked at Dauwn's form for the first time "Damn.." as soon as that left his mouth. A viking took the opportunity to hit Lo'lo with his axe, the axe pierced his shoulder.
Lo'lo roars in pain by the burn he felt, Lo'lo then grabbed the man and tossed him over the wall off the village.
"Lo'lo!" Aladdin cried running to him with Dauwn in tow.
"hang on tight!" Dauwn instructed. with one tap all three reappeared outside the walls.

Lo'lo gripped his shoulder. "Let me see.."Dauwn examined the wound. It seemed like they made it out until shouts reached their ears. The whole village were running towards them. Lo'lo got back up again, ready to fight. with a much more open space it was easier for him to let loose. Aladdin and Dauwn were also free to fight openly.

A familiar white lion charged, this time Lo'lo smirked as he got his revenge on the cat with one strike. The lion feel to the ground dead. "Ha! got back at you feline!" The fight was getting tiresome with all the vikings attacking, at least for Dauwn and Aladdin. That's when a neighing can be heard above. It was Daylight coming in hot with Muu in his djinn equip form, Myron who was being carried by Daylight and Nano in his djinn equip form. Nano was covered in fur and had the appearance of an ape type creature. "We're here little sis!" he called to her
"Captain!" Lo'lo called out.
"Nano!" Dauwn cried out but then she paused seeing Myron on her steed.
"That girl... managed to ride Daylight while it took you three weeks to accomplish." Dauwn smirked to Lo'lo which he shot her a deathly look.

A large snow storm rolled in suddenly as Nano swooped in, the blasts was very cold as the bitterness of the stinging winds hit their faces. Aladdin hugged himself tightly, he wasn't use to this type of cold plus he wasn't dressed for it. Dauwn thought quickly and used her feathers to shield Aladdin from the blasts of wind. Lo'lo in turn shielded Dauwn from the cold blasts of wind.
The vikings were struggling to stay put but an unseen force, Muu, was making quick work of the vikings.

It wasn't long before Dauwn ran out of magoi and returned to normal but the three stayed huddled until a small rope dropped to them.
"Don't just stand there! Climb up!" Myron called out.

Aladdin went up first. Dauwn was the second to climb after Aladding. Lo'lo was set to climb up but a force knocked him into the bank of fog that came with the blizzard created. "Lo'lo!" Dauwn called out for him.
In the air the four scanned the area, It was hard to see anything with the heavy fog. As Muu and Nano worked together to finish the vikings off in the fog Lo'lo was in a struggle with Malence. Malence had Lo'lo in a head lock, "Nah, leaving so soon?!!" He laughed. "I'll make your woman cry after your dead, Fanalis!" Malence began to push Lo'lo to the edge of the cliff. Lo'lo broke free and gave Malence a good right hook as he returned the shove to get Malence to fall of the cliff instead. "No one messes with my girl!!" He roared. Mal began pushing back at Lo'lo and was succeeding pushing him back.
Lo'lo loved to battle it's true but this Malence was different from every other human he fought. How can this guy be as strong as an Fanalis?! When He looked into Malence's eyes there was something that set off alarms in Lo'lo's head. Something was yelling at Lo'lo to kill Malence as quickly as possible. Lo'lo lifted Malence above his shoulders and tossed him off the cliff. Lo'lo tried to look over the edge only to be met with a kick that made him fly upwards. He landed with a loud thud.

Lo'lo got up from the ground, Malence's calm cruel eyes from earlier was now replaced by a furious look matched Lo'lo's own in terms of animalistic. Lo'lo wasn't going to be terrified by this one guy!He shot a punch to Malence's gut, only to be met with a return hit. Malence's punches were claw like as he struck the Fanalis. the two matched blow for blow, The frenzy of attacks began to spill blood, the snowy winds stinging the bruises and cuts they got but they weren't backing down. finally Lo'lo got a foot in, kicking Malence away.

Malence made a deep laugh. "How does it feel to go up against a berserker, Fanalis??"

"It doesn't matter what you are, Defeat comes in all forms!" Lo'lo roared as he jumped forward into battle once more.

Muu's djinn had reached his limit for some time during the battle this left him vulnerable, if it weren't for Nano's blizzard covering him he'd be in big trouble. his cover to his unfortune didn't last as Nano's djinn form had also pretty much hit it's limit. The blizzard cleared when Nano returned to normal. when the cover was gone all eyes all turned to Lo'lo and Malence in a stare down, the two were heavily panting covering in wounds.
The two ran at each other for the final blow.

"Lo'lo, go down low!" Dauwn's voice rang out.

The voice was received as Lo'lo knew what Dauwn was hinting at. When Malence pounced at Lo'lo like a wild animal Lo'lo skidded underneath, guiding Malence to go over the cliff with his strength. There was a yell before a big splash.

The vikings all gasp at their strongest warrior chief defeated. "Let that be a lesson to all! the Vulka village is now under the protection of the reim empire! now everyone leave with your families and leave or face the wrath of the empire!" Muu called out. This was enough to get the viking resistance to ran away in panic, load up the boats and leave. The vikings had no choice with the settlement without a strong leader.

Nano sighed and lowered his sword, "Let's go home."
