Chapter 19: The Summoning

: The portal is open.

: About time!

: You mortals are too impatient, it was only 8 days!

: This have better be worth the wait...

??? : Ooh yes it is...

: What the-!?

: Greetings upstart mortal. I am Magtheridon. Are you the one who dares summon me?

: -i-it is I, M-Magtheridon, w-who summoned y-you.

: You've summoned me, now what is it you want?

: W-we are in n-need of y-your forces, great one.

: Why is it that my forces are needed?

: The upstarts who took my village have dared insult the will of the mighty Magtheridon!

: Katra zil shukil.

And then Magtheridon walked off toward the town, with a legion of Fel Soldiers, Fel Orcs and Voidwalkers in tow.

: Those who dare insult the name of Magtheridon, listen now! Surrender is no longer an option! Your fates were sealed the moment I entered this realm! You dare to think that now you can escape the wrath of the mighty Pit Lord Magtheridon, Lord of Outland? You're doom comes upon high, death will sweep across the land like locusts upon a field, destruction will be lord of the land you wish to live upon!

At the village...

: Those wretches are more cuning than I thought...

: What shall I do, sire?

: We must hold out until the English Fleet arrives! They have an entire base prepared for them! My death will be the only thing that will mark our defeat today!

The village

The Base

(Crimson Sun members) : Charge!!!

(Magtheridon's forces) : Shaza-kiel!

Chapter 20: The Beginning of the end of the beginning

: Now have you yet to see the folly of your ways? Have you yet to see the death and destruction I can bring upon your people? Are you sure you wish continue this madness? Will you surrender yet? Are your lives worth the scourging of this land?

And then Magtheridon spotted out of the corner of his eye a man who was killing Magtheridon's demonic legion one by one when most of his allies had fallen.

: You still do not surrender?! I shall bring about your death myself!

: Go ahead. Try.

: You missed.

: Aaaarghhhhhh!

: And now, fear my wrath!

And then our invader jumped obscenely high into the air (what is this, an anime!?) and leapt down upon Magtheridon and began to unleash the omnislash upon Magtheridon. He hit Magtheridon 15 times, cutting off each of his wings and severely injuring Magtheridon to prepare for a finishing blow that he applied by stabbing into Magtheridon, then while he was inside Magtheridon, he finished Magtheridon once and for all.

: I have won...

: No you haven't!

: Earlgray...

: Who are you?!

: How could you have forgotten our last meeting so soon?

: Who are you?!

: I am the one known as Edward... or the one you called Jim...

: You... you are still living!?

: After all of these years we will finally settle this dispute on a volcano...

And then Earlgray and the invader, Edward (Jim) began to battle on the side of a volcano. Earlgray still wielded his Zweihander from long ago while Edward wielded a freakin' halberd. The volcano was still spewing forth its lava while Ealrgray and Edward fought their duel. Eventually Edward swung his halberd and the Zweihander went down the side of the volcano. Edward, seeking to eliminate the rivalry, then kicked Earlgray into the volcano. His death, was only a great way to settle a hostility that had been evident over the 24 years, for Edward anyway.

: HehehehehahahahaMWAHAHAHAHA!! He's finally dead!!

??? : You're trouble is not over.

: What the- your turn to die!

: You think I'll die too?!

Out at the sea...

: We should be almost to the base and- what the?!

: Burn!!!

: Fire the cannons!

However, 'twas too late for the British Fleet nearing Earlgray's as the Dreadlord began to cast Meteorain upon the fleet.

After the Meteorain, the British fleet began to retreat, but the Dreadlord destroyed the rest of the ships.

To be continued...

Nice story and the pics are good - those ships are cool.

Schulmanator: Thanks!

Chapter 21: The end of the end of the beginning

: And you are...

: My name is Anduin, you killed my father, prepare to die!

: You believe that I'll go down easily after I killed two major leaders of your land? You are not prepared...

And then the hero, Anduin, pulled out a broadsword and Edward brought out his halberd. Anduin began to swing his sword at Edward, but Edward simply dodged, jumped over them and ducked under them. Edward then swung his halberd in a spin attack. However, Anduin managed to back away from the spin attack. Edward then threw away his halberd and brought out a sword. Anduin and Edward began clashing the swords.

: In the name of all you have slain, your life shall meet its end!

: You really think that I will be stopped easily? Now fear my wrath!

Anduin had seen Edward perform the Omnislash on Magtheridon and got out of the way of the opening slash and then jumped onto a rock going down the mountain-side lava flow. Edward followed and they began dueling on a rock. When they reached the bottom of the mountain, they continued to duel at the foot of the mountain until Edward kicked Anduin far away.

And then the dueling continued in a different area. Anduin and Edward locked in a deadly dance of blades. The fighting escalated up the mountain as the volcano became more and more violent. They were now fighting on the side of the mountain itself. They were unable to get an advantage over one another. But then Edward got a lucky strike, Anduin's sword flew into the volcano itself. He was forced to dodge attacks by moving to the side, jumping or ducking, until he saw something out of the corner of his eye. He saw his father's Zweihander lodged in the ground. He jumped over to the sword, drew it and began to attack Edward.

Edward was stunned by this turn of events due to the fact that he had somehow not seen the sword lodged into the ground.

: Now feel my wrath!

Edward flew toward Anduin, who was just standing in place until Edward was almost to him, which was when he unleashed the omnislash himself to finish the battle once and for all. He ended not with a really powerful slash, but with a kick that sent Edward flying into the volcano.

:sizzle:

: It is finished.

Chapter 22: Scouting about

After the invasion of the Crimson Sun, most of the demons went back to Draenor, and the reconstruction process began. The highlight of this reconstruction was the construction of a port to allow shipping to other parts of the world..

Anduin, John and the Guard Captain organized a scouting party consisting of 10 humans and 5 fel orcs. The Fel Orcs were no longer bound to their demon lord on account of him being dead. The boat was ready for the party later.

( Leader of the Expedition) : Greetings, ladies and gentlemen, my name is James Wharton, I am the leader of this expedition, and my job is to scout out the land to the south.

Everyone else : Hello James.

And thus the 1st Expedition began, the group sailed southward to find potential land to build more settlements. They went southward and found an island that looked particularly promising.

The island they found was a prime location for settling, by many standards.

However, all was not well, for the expedition had found a British Base had been established on an island to the south of the island they had claimed in the name of Anduin.

The expedition sailed back to the village, which was growing just fine.

In total, the expedition had taken several months, thus explaining the amount of growth that had happened.

: Milord, I have found an island that is well worth settling. Unfortunatly, on the island to the near south of the island we discovered, there is a British base that could prove to be a nuisance.

: We should get that base out of the picture somehow, but how?

[Schulmanator 5,801]

Hmmm... looks like trouble ahead with that base.

Chapter 23: Invading the Brits

: Well, I don't think that the British will want to negotiate. I believe that an attack will be necessary. Contact Mr. Bigglesworth.

: Unfortunatly, Mr. Bigglesworth is in Schulmania. On the other hand, we don't believe we will need forces from beyond.

: Really, Captain, why is that?

: Our observations have reported that the base only has 100 soldiers at the most.

: What do our forces number?

: 200 hundred, sire.

: Load up the ship and move, Captain. I will meet you there.

: Yes, milord.

Later...

: Milord, the forces are assembled, we begin bombardment soon.

: Good. We will begin loading the boats soon.

Chapter 24: Invading the Brits, Part 2

Captain : Milord, we sent an assassin to the British Base last night, what is keeping her?

Footman : Sir, a rowboat has come upon the shore!

Captain : Footman, follow me.

Footman : Yes sir!

Assassin : Hello.

Footman : Your eyes and ears...

Assassin : Have you never met a green-eyed person before?

Footman : And the ears?

Assassin : Blame the recent demons.

Captain : What have you to report?

Assassin : I have killed their Captain and their Chief Cannoneer, also, their forces only number 70.

Captain : Good. We'll have an easy victory ahead of us.

Anduin : Then let us move out!

Captain : Milord! We shall.

Chief Cannonneer : Fire the cannons!!

And then the invasion force landed.

(A lose depiction of the attaking force)

The British, although were strong, were not going to give up.

And then, Anduin entered the Governor's area.

Anduin : Greetings, governor.

British Governor : Ah, the King who's come kill me. Lovely.

Anduin : My blade is at the ready, Governor.

Governor : I challenge you to a duel!

[Schulmanator 5,801]

Looks like trouble! Oh no, a duel. That'd be cool to watch but not to be in!

Schulmanator: I'm kind've wondering how you know duels aren't fun.

Chapter 25: The duel and the rest of the battle

Anduin : En garde!

Governer : Hyah!

The governer pulled out a rapier while wielded the Zweihander and the two began to duel. The Governer was quite agile while Anduin was wearing a cuiress. And then the governer pulled out a second rapier and began trying to attack Anduin with both rapiers at the same time. The governer then hit Anduin, who then chopped off the left arm of the governer.

Governer : AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I surrender!

Anduin then let the governer live. The governer would live out his days as the legendary one-armed fisherman.

Meanwhile...

Captain : We almost won, are you ready to take prisoners, Footman?

Footman : Aye, sir!

Captain : Good, begin soo-

The Captain fell over, a knife sticking out of the back of his neck.

Footman : What the-

The Footman met the same fate. Out of the shadows walked a figure, a woman took up arms and was battling the invaders.

??? : Well, there goes their Captain...

??? : I, Elizabeth, will kill them all.

X5, , X2 Soldiers : Capture her!

After the battle, there were many prisoners that they would need to build a prison in the capital. So they did. There were other improvement in the capital as well.

The lumberyard had more sheds due to the amount of the lumber they had.

The harbor was expanded to accomadate more ships.

The Prison is surrounded by walls and the towers are constantly guarded. At night, the gate is closed except when prisoners or supplies are going in or out. The warden has his own house within the prison to accomadate his needs. His garden is guarded by a fence with sword on top. Only the warden has the key to the garden and to any of the cells.

[Petrovar Ambassador 15]

Interesting storyline, I'll be watching for more!

[Schulmanator 5,801]

That looks like a very secure facility. Nice update.

Non-venomous replies

Petrovar Ambassador: Thanks!

Schulanator: I could say it would be my equivalent of Alcatraz.

As you may know, John didn't really make any appearances in Act 2, Act 3 will feature him as well as Arladmina and Gabriel. They will not stay in the country. In fact, this will take place in the New World. Instead of being set in another generation, we will have different main characters. And now we begin with a new way of story structure.

Act 3

Chapter 1: The discussion

John : Gabriel, how may I be able to become immortal?

Gabriel  : There are many ways, young one. Why do you ask?

John : I've heard of a mystical fountain in the new world, called the Fountain of Youth.

Gabriel : Arladmina!

Arladmina : Yes?

John : Do you know of a 'Fountain of Youth'?

Gabriel : Perhaps Mr. Bigglesworth would know, unfortunately, he is still in Schulmania. And the future

John : Do either of you know a teleportation ability?

Both : No.

John : Then time to unveil my new invention!

Arladmina : What is that?!

John : The flying machine!

Gabriel : I don't trust that... thing.

Much Later...

John : And we're here!

Guard : ¡Alto! Whoa es usted?

John : Die!!

John then proceeded to kill the guard.

Arladmina : I don't think that was a good idea...

[Schulmanator 5,801]

That flying machine is hilarious!

[Dumanios 35]

Reply

Schulmanator: Yep.

Chapter 2: The Consequences

John : Oh no...

Arladmina : Run!!!

5 hours later...

John : We ... got ... away...

Gabriel : Perhaps... we... should... rest... here...

[Dumanios 35]

Chapter 3: The Meeting

John : Where are we?

Arladmina : I hate this...

Gabriel : We will find where we are soon...

??? : Hey, you!

John : Who are you?

??? : Da name's Elijah. Who you be?

John : I'm John, the woman's Arladmina and the old man is Gabriel.

Elijah : I can guide ya to a Knights of St. John base.

John : Alright.

The three were guided to the Knights of St. John base by Elijah.

John : Knights of St. John? Here in America? What is going on?

Morgan Black : Who're you four?

Elijah : I'm Elijah, the young white guy is John, the woman is Arladmina and the old guy is Gabriel.

Morgan Black : The name's Morgan Black, leader of the Knighthood's forces here in the new world. We are here looking for the Lake of the Moon.

John : The Lake of the Moon?

Arladmina : The Lake of the Moon, or as many Europeans call it, the Fountain of Youth, is a mystical fountain that may or may not exist here in Florida. We have had encounters with Spanish Forces as well.

Morgan Black : Ay, we share a common goal here, perhaps we can help eachother as well.

Meanwhile...

Delgado : Who are you?

??? : I am the current leader of the Crimson Sun, my name is Andre Estarin V

Delgado : Why are you here?

Andre : The Crimson Sun is interested in an alliance.

Delgado :If you will get rid of the gnats that soil Spain's territory, than it is a deal...

I'm not a real big fan of unfuctional cities.

The story is good but it bugs me that it's all... fake it likes a stage build for a movie.

[Dumanios 35]

MarkusJ: Now that I think about it. I'm going to cut away from the action until I can think of an update that doesn't involve a huge aborted arc.

A cutaway from the action to the homeland...

The Homecity has been growing a bit over the time of there being three people gone. The town was starting to expand onto the volcano.

The former British Base had also grown a little. In particular, the city had a trio of nobles move in. Not pictured is the newly erected harbor, which the road leads to. The town had taken the name of Northshire.

The newest town built was the town of Pegasus Pointe. Established at the site of the former base where the small military had staged the takeover of Northshire. John Pegasus had established Pegasus Pointe to be a small outpost on the island the expedition team had discovered. The former military camp was kept for historical purposes.

Chapter 5: The Insanely weird plot docter from nowhere

John : Well, this could get boring very quickly.

??? : I have something for you.

John : Who are you and why are you here?

Dr. Insano : I'm Dr. Insano, and here, take this remote control, press the button that looks like an arrow.

And thus, John pressed the button that looked like an arrow, and suddenly, time went faster. To put it bluntly, they were time-traveling. They saw weeks of build-up to the finale pass in mere seconds.

Dr. Insano : No wait, you have went too far!

Andrew Jackson : Who are you people, get out of my office!

Dr. Insano : Press the backwards arrow to go back in time!

And then the heroes went back in time until the beginning of the big finale. At which point they dusted themselves off and looked at the forces arrayed against them.

John : So, what are we up against?

Lancer : We believe the Circle of Ossus has multiple bases centered around the Lake of the Moon. In addition, the Crimson Sun, a new enemy we only saw recently, has betrayed the Spanish and allied with the Circle of Ossus, so they may have a base near here as well. They are after the Fountain of Youth, which is situated in the center of the lake. We will have to destroy the enemy bases here, which will be most likely impossible, or destroy the Fountain of Youth.

John : OK, thanks for telling me all about it.
