War of the Titans

From the Ground Up

I woke up and went to meet with everyone. I told them that I had found Charles and we went to meet him at his house. I heard screaming as we approached the house and noticed the arrows near the door.
"CHARLES!!" I yelled as I burst into a run. I was determined to make sure no one hurt my "brother". I grabbed my scythes and got them ready as I burst into the house. I skeletons in the main hall and I threw my scythes at them. The scythes literally tore through the skeletons and then flew back to my hands.
"Help! I'm upstairs and pinned!" Charles yelled.
I ran up the stairs and took out every skeleton. I got to the final room and noticed a wither skeleton in diamond armor with a diamond sword trying to break down his door. I got ready for combat. I threw my scythes and it tore through the skeletons armor and came back to my hands. The skeleton lunged forward but I dodged and went to strike but he blocked me. I pushed him forward and let out a volley of strikes that left the skeleton in pieces.
"Charles.. It's ok now." I said panting.
"What the hell?" Charles said coming out of his room. He had a axe and I could see a few dismembered skeletons behind him."This shit happen everyday?!"
"No." I said. "This isn't a good sign. We'll be fixing the gate today. No more should make it in. Now come get armor."
Matthew, Wyatt and Cayden burst into the hallway weapons at the ready. "Guess we're a little late huh?" Matthew said as they put away they're weapons.
"Yeah. Thanks." I said sarcastically. "Charles what you find in here?"
"Lots of chests filled with iron, bronze, gold and copper." Charles said. "So electrical stuff."
"Ok. Let's get to the forge." I said.
"Ok Charles made your stuff." I said. "Cayden stay with him. Matthew and Wyatt you two go check the city. Make sure there are no more mobs got it?"
"Got it." They both said.
"Oh and I'll need those levers now" I said. Matthew handed me the golden and copper levers and I went to go fix the gates.
As I walked to the control room I found some more skeletons. I grabbed my scythes and threw them. It tore through all the skeletons and came back to my hands. Man these things are like Boomerangs.
I made it to the control room and made sure to quickly replace the levers. "Just one more here and there!" I exclaimed. "Now they should be working." I pulled the levers and went to see if the gates were working. They were.
"Now to get back to the others." I said to myself as I began walking to the others.
I made it back to the forge and my God Charles made his dreams come true. With all the gold, iron, copper and bronze he had he made... A bronze and black colored Viking style Iron Man suit that looked like the Destroyer from Thor. Only the middle reactor was in the shape of a lion.
"Of course." I said walking in. "Let me guess you made weapons in it?"
"Only some electric stuff. I'm gonna upgrade it later." Charles said.
"We all will be upgrading later.. Did you find some strange kinda armor or something in your house?"
"Actually yes. I used some to make this." Charles said surprised.
"Hmm. Charles later you and I will discuss electronic defenses." I said.
Matthew and Wyatt walked in with some more armor from mobs. "Found more!" Matthew said as he put down the armor.
"Good. Gates are working." I said.
"Wait what if there's a person who comes seeking shelter?" Cayden piped up after being so quiet.
"Oh shit. Charles can you like wire some like camera system?" I asked.
"For the whole city? I'd need more copper, gold and other materials than we have." Charles said.
"The mine!" I yelled. "Matthew and Cayden go mine anything you see."
"You got it." Matthew said as him and Cayden went off.
"Wyatt and Charles come with me." I said.

"Those metals you find in your houses aren't unusual. Each one yes, holds a different property I've decided. We all found different ones." I said to them at my house.
"We have to find out what they do." Wyatt said.
"What do you mean what they do?" I asked.
"Well I mean they have to do something. If they're so special they have to." Wyatt said.
"Now as in for the other order of business, we need some more weapons and defenses." I said.
"What kind of defenses?" Charles asked.
"My kind of defenses. Scorpion Ballistas and crap." I said.
"Wow. That be effective." Charles said.
"I also want some firearms for all of us." I said simply.
"Wait what?" Charles said.
"We get guns?" Wyatt said getting a big smile. "YES!! We get guns!"
"It'll take us some time. But yes. Actually it'll take only a little bit for me. Son of a gunsmith and stuff remember?" I said. "But as in for the Ballistas we need way more time. Maybe a week."
"Charles I want the Ballistas to have a targeting system. So I'm gonna need you." I said. "I want it to target only mobs. Not people."
"Got it." Charles said. "I'm gonna make the gate open by switch from our houses. So that way people can get in at anytime."
"Excellent." I said. "Let's meet at the temple tomorrow to start building." And with that I went to my room and layed down.
************************************
One week later.
I walked outside. It had been a week since we had gotten the gates to work. We made a sign at spawn that told people to come our city and we now had a community. Twenty or more people had come to the city and joined us.
Today we had finally gotten the Ballistas working. We all were on the city walls putting up the last ballista target system on it.
"One more piece here and some more iron and.." Charles paused as he put it all together. "There we go!"
"Great!" I exclaimed. I looked around. We've made so much progress. I looked at Wyatt and the others. We all still had our armor but we all had guns now.
I had a 454 Cassul pistol on my side, a KSG Shotgun on my back, a Barrett .50 cal that folds up and mechanically assembles itself (thanks to Charles) and I had a M4 that folds up like the rifle.
Matthew had a DSR-50 rifle, a .40 cal pistol, a 12 Gauge shotgun that was like my rifle, and a little AN-94.
Cayden had a .45 pistol, a SWAT assault rifle and a DSR-50 that folds like the rifle I have, and a KSG shotgun.
Wyatt had a .45 pistol like me, a Mossberg 500 shotgun and Vector assault rifle that folds up, and a Dragunov Sniper rifle.
Charles had his guns built into his armor for the whole Viking- Iron Man thing.
I looked over the city and was proud of what we accomplished. We pretty built this from the ground up now.
