Chapter 52 - 52

Ext. Village gate- Day

The battle has begun. Mike is trying to keep the enemy at bay

Mike: Get ready men, the enemy is approaching. Hold your arrows. Fire!

Immediately they release the arrows as well as large stone to crush them

Jade: Everyone get your shield. Team one defend. Team two, fire!

Girlie: Let's go, my hand have been itching for this moment

Arrows are flying everywhere. Riley and Wayne go forward to unlock the lock that closes the gate.

Riley: I am trusting you, cover me

Wayne: Don't worry, I have your back. Just do what you have to do

Int. Tunnel - Day

Dan and Ella are under the tunnel

Dan: How come I never knew there were secret tunnels in this village?

Ella: I guess you have been sleeping all these years (she laughs)

Dan: Very funny! Let me (he opens the door and they get out) It is so quiet in here

Ella: Yes, exactly as I thought. They did not expect anyone here. Let's go (they run through to the huge village tree) Let's start climbing pretty boy

Dan: Just don't fall

Ella: I am not planning to, but you watch out. Let the work begin

Hidden among the leaves high above everyone they start to fire arrows from behind

******

Cy: Sir, we are being attacked from behind

Mike: How come? It's not supposed to happen. What are you waiting for, take some men and go deal with it. I am defending this gate no matter what

Cy: Yes, sir

*******

Jade: (shouts) Ella is on the move

Riley: Did you hear that. Let's open this gate

Jade: Attack!

They open the gate and immediately run in to fight

*********

Ella: They are in, let's go and join them

Someone shots an arrow at her

Dan: Watch out

She falls from the tree but Dan immediately catches her with one arm

Dan: Be careful

Ella: Nice catch, I told you I won't be dying today. I am out of arrows. I will go first

She takes our two swords and jumps down leaving some heads rolling down

Dan: Wait! She never listens to me (he joins her)

Ext. Other gate- Day

The other group is waiting to be let in

Captain: What is taking them this long? I hear that the battle has already begun

Dawn: They are definitely coming

On the other side Leo and Girlie take out some people out

Girlie: You might want to move back, I am about to burst this gate

Dawn: We are ready (the gate explodes and falls down) Everyone let's go

People rush in to fight

Int. Room- Day

Everyone is quietly seated down

Max: It seems the war has begun

Monique: Of course it has, I can hear the terror of dying men. They are fighting hard while you are here hiding like a rat

Max: Why should there be a shame in hiding, is it wrong to not want to die? I am afraid if I die today I might become a vengeful ghost because I have many things to do. Besides why don't you go, if I recall death does not discriminate by gender

Monique: Forget it, I tend to forget that you are a man because you wear pants

Max: I am happy that you are back to being yourself. And you are damn right about me, you hit the bulls eye

******

Ally: I need to go out and see how things are outside. They surely need me

Mercy: Don't even think about it, it is dangerous out there. Do you want to get yourself killed

Ally: My friends are out there risking their lives and I will go help them. If I die then let it be

Mercy: Please let's not talk about death. Remember all the plans we made together

Ally: Don't worry, I will come back to you alive

Mercy: I will hold you to that

Ally: I will be back (she goes out)

Mrs Rose: It's good that you have started to cry because we all know she is not coming back. You will only get a dead body

Mercy: Woo to you. It also might be your last day alive

Ext. Palace - Night

The first had reached the palace. Without hesitation Melanie uses her poisoned needles swiftly

Girlie: At long last you have come to your senses. This time they won't be coming back to live like zombies right?

Melanie: Don't worry, I have sent them to hell

Girlie: I am proud of you

Jade: It's been a long time since we did that. Shall we

Ella: When you are ready

They make a nasty formation leaving only dead bodies

Wayne: Remind me never to mess with this woman ever

Mike: Now I am your opponent. You will get what you deserve for betraying your father and this place that is supposed to be your home

Dan: I am not afraid to face you. I have been dying to take your head off your body

There is an interesting fight between them. Dan falls down

Mike: It looks like I will be the one taking your head off

He raises his sword to strike him, immediately Ally blocks him

Mike: You!

Ally: I am sorry prince, this one is mine. We have a promise. You go in, I will handle this one

Mike: "this one" I see you haven't learnt manners. No problem. I will deal with you first

Ally: Don't be so full of yourself, today I am going to fulfill my promise of killing you.

Mike: Bring it on (they fight until Ally is wins) I guess I underestimated you

Ally: The mistake that now you will never correct and I hope it haunts you in hell. Remember this "those who kill by the sword will die by the sword" (she chops her head)
