A long time ago,
about 2000 years ago, in a mountain on the edge of Nightshade’s evil kingdom,
there was a group of rebels preparing for battle. There was an underground
river there for drinking water. The underground river was also a secret passage
into Nightshade’s castle. Because the people called the Rebels were not able
grow their own food, they made allies to trade with.
First
of all, Nightshade took over the country by force. Second, he tortured people.
Third, if the Rebels didn’t win, Nightshade would become King of the world.
Nightshade hopes to rule the world and wants to become immortal. Nightshade had
an object called the immortal stone, but he could not figure out how to use it.
If he figures out that the immortal stone will turn him immortal, he will never
die when he takes over the world.
The Evil
King Nightshade was born evil. He had allies. Some of them were monsters and
some were humans. He ruled forests, isolated villages, farms, and big towns.
He
was preparing to destroy the Rebels. It would take at least three months of training for his army
to become ready for battle. The Rebels were training for the counterattack.
The
Rebels stashed many weapons made out of metal and other things that could be
made into weapons. They had several sharp things including blockades, spikes,
and other stuff. They also prepared for battle by training dragons to carry
them into the battles. They hoped that the fire breathing dragons would roast
and eat Nightshade’s Army.
Meanwhile,
the Rebels also had several spies who were trained to listen in on Nightshade’s
conversations and meetings. When they heard something interesting, they went
back and told their high commander. The
Rebels also changed the direction of the underground river by mining the
ground and changing the path so that it
flowed directly to the Rebel’s mountain and to Nightshade’s castle.
They
also made a tunnel inside to the King’s castle so that they could get water
because they could not grow their own food without water. After all they have
allies elsewhere who they traded with for food, metal and also information.
On
the battlefield, a group of three rebels were preparing for battling. They were
just practicing. One of their swords
broke. When they were fighting, it just cracked.
“Too
bad, your nice sword broke.”
A very large noise interrupted their
conversation. “I saw soldiers are attacking the archers. Get to your
positions!”
Chapter 1
The soldiers are prepared. But the Rebels
have made spikes and blockades.
A Minor Battle
“Soldiers approaching; soldiers
approaching” There are at least a couple hundred. Get to your stations. We’re
under attack!”
The Rebels have cannons. My colleagues and I
got onto our dragons. With a mighty battle cry, we all charged at the soldiers.
We shot at the first couple of rows of soldiers. They fell dead while some of
the backup soldiers took their place. Meanwhile, the ground shook while cannons
took out rebels by the tens. Me and my colleagues rode our dragons and toasted
many soldiers as they retreated.
We rode our Dragon. This was a BIG
mistake. We charged at the retreating soldiers. They fired their cannons at us.
Our dragons were forced to shoot upwards. We flew back to the base. The
soldiers were retreating faster and were out of range. Soon they would be out
of sight...Victory!
Fifty or so Rebel soldiers entered the
small underground walkway. Each soldier brought a dragon with him or her. Thirty of our rebel men became guards and a
door was closed behind the group. They waited for their orders to stand and
guard or to fire on the enemy.
Now there are only 20 of us and we were
about to enter the Kings greenhouse. Little did we know, things are about to go
really bad.
As soon as we entered, there were 200 of
the evil King’s soldiers waiting for us. They started firing arrows at us. We
were heavily outnumbered. But the dragons roasted the soldiers and toasted the
canons. The Rebels launched arrows and spears at newly arriving soldiers. Now
sadly, only 17 of the Rebels were left alive.
A new battle is starting. As more
reinforcements came, the rebel’s numbers started to drop. Even though we were
some of the best fighters in the land, we just couldn’t hold off that many
soldiers. We starting losing more people: 17, 16, 15, 14, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4,
3. They just kept firing arrows so I got on a dragon and ordered the rest of
the riderless dragons to charge. The 17 dragons charged and started eating and
toasting and flattening soldiers.
The soldiers started setting up spikes
but our dragons were able to fly over them. I picked up a random shield and
blocked five arrows. I picked up a random sword and speared a soldier. I picked
up three spears and chucked them randomly at canon operators. I ducked behind a
wall and many spears hit the wall. The guards now charged the remaining 3
soldiers. They started firing at us. We were outnumbered by the King’s 2000
soldiers.
We
retreated. But there were more soldiers around the corner.
“How many of them are there?” asked my
colleague.
“I’m not
sure- just that there are more of them than us.”
We ran down
a hall back into the greenhouse. We went down a passage, all the time shooting
arrows at the oncoming soldiers.
“We’re
dead!” said my colleague.
A Rebel
soldier grabbed a lit torch and tossed it into the crowd of King’s soldiers.
Instantly, flames began erupting and the soldiers were on fire and were dying.
Eventually the flames went out and the King’s soldiers, that were still alive,
were madder than ever.
We saw the
door we had previously sealed. I noticed a little clayzone by the door. I shot
several arrows at it and it broke. I ran towards it and the door was bust open
by the charging rebels. I grabbed the alarm and yanked. Alarms went off and the
rebels grabbed their weapons. Spikes appeared out of the ground. I grabbed a
dragon and flew over the spikes. I started firing arrows at the rapidly
approaching King’s soldiers. I turned around and saw a couple of thousand of my
rebel soldiers. Thank goodness they heard the alarm and came to fight.
The Final
Battle
Our arrows
hit the shields of the King’s soldiers, but they fired back and knocked out a
couple more hundred rebels. Luckily we were ready. We hid behind some houses
that were circled around the castle. It wasn’t long before the houses were
overrun by the soldiers.
The next
time we looked, we saw the evil King Nightshade riding his pitch black horse
who had golden armor and weapons hanging off the saddle.
My
colleagues fired arrows to damage Nightshade’s armor, but he chopped the arrows
out of the air. Nightshade threw three black sharp knives at me and I dodged
them just in time. I bumped into a lever on a nearby wall and it released
boulders. We didn’t know it would cause so much death, but Nightshade and his
evil army was crushed flat into pancakes.
THE END
We survived!
