!WARNING!
This story contians violence and some harsh lanuage
Jet: Are we getting paid for this?
San: If we weren’t you we’d be homeless.
Jet: True.
San and Jet continued to make for Honshu Fort. Honshu village is behind them as they walk a small path in the forest. Around them was the most beautiful forest one could ever see and in their eyes they hear the Honshu River.
San: And you know for a guy who likes fighting as much as you do you sure do complain a lot…Your getting paid to fight, have you ever thought about it that way?
Jet: No… No I haven’t…..
Jet smiled which was a rare sight.
Jet: Wow! I love my Job.
San: Kinda disturbing when you really think about it.
Jet: Want me to complain about it?
San: Please don’t.
San hated complaining.
Jet: That’s what I thought…How far until we reach the fort? Seems we’ve been walking forever.
Jet hated walking when he didn’t want to.
Jet: We’ve walked there over a hundred times, yet you still ask that question... Listen…
They remained silent for a small while and they heard battle cries up ahead. They started running toward the fortress and within minuets they came to the gate of the castle. They entered the fort where they were told by a soldier that Captain Philo was expecting them on the roof. They went above to the roof, it spanned nearly half a mile and was about a hundred paces wide with walls on the side they came up to the waist, they started to walk on the right was the shore where trolls were massing.
The trolls did nothing but shoot arrows into the air hoping to hit an enemy soldier. While they walked, arrows smashing into the roof, they saw an injured soldier sitting by the left wall leaning against it he was begin treated by another, both were wearing the C.A.A. uniform both were armed with the katana.
Jet: Michael?
The wounded soldier looked at Jet.
Michael: Where have you been!?
Jet: Everywhere ‘cept there. Where’s your bro Zip?
Michael: At Fort Kyushu kicking himself for missing the action.
San turned to Michael’s helper.
San: Volt? Why are you here?
Volt finished bandaging Michael’s shoulder.
Volt: heh…Actually I took Zip plAA!
An arrow impaled Volt in the right side of his throat.
All three flinched back.
San and Michael: Ahh!
Jet: OH SNAP!
Volt’s body hit the ground sideways, blood gushing from the wound. San knelt to the ground to help him but all knew he was dead. Two soldiers came with a stretcher and lifted Volt on to it. San tipped his head over the wall to see what was going on…He saw a troll wizard preparing a spell on the side of the wall. A circle of green light appeared where the wizard was San judged the where the light was at and turned back to Jet.
San: We need to get to the keep!
Jet: The hell why?
A soldier came up to Jet.
Jet: Blaze? What do you want?
Blaze: Lieutenant Gonzales, Captain Philo orders you to go Honshu Village to…
Jet: Tell him to do it his dam self!
Blaze: He’s up ahead tell him yourself
San and Jet ran toward Captain Philo. Jet told him about the Troll wizard then asked.
Jet: Sir? Why am I ordered to Honshu village?
Philo: A team of trolls have been spotted destroying the town and we believe their destination is Tokyo Castle.
Tokyo castle is where the Queen lived.
Jet: How did they get past the fort?
Philo: You tell me once you take their heads.
Jet jumped off the left side of the castle and saw smoke rise from where the village would be.
Jet: CRAP!!!
Jet made haste to the village.
Meanwhile San and Captain Philo headed toward the keep. Once inside they saw the green light on the wall. Twenty soldiers were inside the keep with them all ready to fight at any second. Then the circle of light dissolved the stone wall into dust. The wizard disappeared when it did.
Trolls came charging into the keep weapons ready. They clashed and it only took a minute until a few trolls made it past the first line if defenders.
San stood there perfectly calm both his kodaichi ready. A troll came running toward him his sword high in the air ready to spilt San in two. San put his left hand on his kodaichi and when the troll was about to strike down san drew his blade and smashed its hilt into the trolls sword hilt knocking the sword out of the troll’s hands. Then San drew his other kodaichi and split the troll in half from across the mid section
Another troll came to San armed with a spear. He stabbed at San who evaded by side stepping then cut the spears blade off with the right handed kodaichi. With the blade still upside down in his left hand he hacked at the troll’s chest then again with the right making an x mark on the troll. Another troll lunged his sword at San. San knocked the sword away with the left kodaichi then stabbed into the trolls face with the other. He pulled the short sword out of the troll and waited for another attack.
San: I hope Jet is doing better than I am.
