Chapter- ½
The King
Episode 1-The Kings Hall
The silhouette is visible now
She is a girl with blondie hair in a Blue outfit with part armour . Age 20
"You know his boss might appear soon too"
Said waada
" Nah, it would be a while before that . Because as i know we cannot even defeat 'him' face to face so "
" Nicke you know i can go toe to toe with 'him' right "
" Yeah ,maybe after king allows us to train "
she said smiling
" Now return my staff "
Says she
" Oh this stick , here . "
With a awkward face she receives it.
A man appears and annonces
"Respected former ace and miss Nicka THE KING summons you to the kings hall "
" And why would he ?" Said Waada while staring at him
" As two of the four high membes were killed yesterday, he would like you to attend kings meeting today. "
Both went along quietly
And entered the kings hall
A huge wide hall with ceiling supported by 5 pillars
[Actually it was magic . Pillars are just for show]
Beutiful black and white patterns on all sides and roof
( This place is quite famed among the high members . Even if only four of the 14 are allowed here the air is still tense. Oh wait it was only two of them) Thought nicka
Waada said
"Donot go by its looks this hall is the .."
Along with a high sound gong ' thunggg'
Sitting on a pentagon table two silver dressed high members . Turns around to see the dazzling golden aurra
( here COMES the high king ) Thought waada
Suddenly all the doors closes and with a burst one of the high members came in front of them .As the king Sat on his throne the high member tried to press waada . As a result the silver dress was hung in the air while the naked female member was sent flying across the hall.
"WHAt is the meaning of this ."
Said the other member
"Well she should have thought before acting i am acting as a member too u know."
Next moment the KING spoke
"= Stay there former ace . If you want to say something ,DON'T="
Within the next second waada and nicka were subdued by the kings presence
"Ah my king wha...." Nicka collapsed
" You won't succeed." And
After saying that waada unleashed his own power the high member was sent flying next to the first one
His dark blue eyes brimming with anger shifted and he approached the king . He used the 3 common elements against the king .The air propelling the arrow formed by piece of tile below his feet while the water covered Nicke's body .
" What is the meaning of this waada . Losing your master of the magic position and the title of ace wasn't enough i see."
With this line a spear intercepted the arrow and stopped mid air
" = I see even after my presence you have quite the punch eh ="
As a person in shinning diamond armour stood beside the king
[ The current ace Gorge ]
" Your infirior elements couldn't even defeat mine. Do you actually thing you stand a chance against the King "
Waada also collapsed and the king ordered
"= Take them to the last wall . And with the eight people before them it should be enough to challenge M's monzters for long enough="
( Just 1 year more endure please endure ) Thought the King

Episode 2 - The Last Wall
"Hey wake up ..... Wakey wakey .... Helloooooo its morning helloooo "
"Stop shouting Nicke i am awake ."
" Huh then get up quickly you moron."
Waada slowly gets up looking at the amazed Nicka
Turns around to see an amazing landscape reaching the walls of the kingdom .Then he notices them being inside a cage . While the driver of the steel plated cage car was a high rank offier.
" I see you are awake . You look weaker than you actually are in gour sleepy .geeheeheehe"
Waada tries to release his power was stunned to find it not emergeing.
" Well thats our right hand for ya . You her right? Mr former left hand. "
"Hmp"
replied Waada ( That bitch . I will make here pay for it someday)
Glaring Nicka asks " Even you are under her potion control? But how yo..."
Waada intrupted her while saying " Her potion works when given the right amount to someone with weaker prowess than her . I released my fully power yet that basta.. KING's power ,it might have made me weaker. So then she might have . "
(Damn but still how strong is that guy ) Thinking Waada looked stunned by even imaging the scene of the kings power .
The driver glares but lets it go
Waada knew where they would end up now
" Just how much more time in this cell. "
"Remember half the prisoners caught using magic are sent to the outer wall to evade the monzter waves"
Said Waada
"Thats that , but what the fuck did you do to get us here?"
" I knew the truth about it all . And you were their insurance so that you can be blamed. (It was under her leadership that the monzters were defeated last time and Rango was sealed there ) Just believe it you are not some extra."
"Man what the heck is that supposed to be? ".
They encountered a large golem protecting the gate from the inside .
[It was right hands spell casted to prevent others from coming here]
They passed right through it and entered the wall to wait.
< The kingdom was walled on all sides but it was not that big or old. These wall was only about 10 -11 years old but the original was a century older>
At the night they were taken outside the walls where a old wall now shattered was standing. On that wall were 8 people out of the rest of the 145 people were patrolling it . The dead bodies of the rest could be seen there . Some were already skeletons while others were rotting and some were even just freah dead bodies.
The weather change was noticible from bright day to the dark gloom . But surroundings were still green .
" You both stay here for the next 6 months and you will be allowed in . Okay "
With a smirk the driver left
< Every month or so a large number of monzters would appear and some of partol men or 'prisoners' would die . >
Then they saw the eight of them coming down and checking them up to down . All of them wore same clothing as them { a last grade brown armour and light brown legging gear . Five of them were seriously injured, while three seemed fine.
Soon they understood their jobs as to partol the only open gate of the kingodm .
[ As the front gate was close due to other reasons .]

Episode 3 - The Protectors
As the officer went back all eight of them greeted them .
Waada stared as he encountered a strange phenomenon of people being nice to each other. While Nicka greeted them back .
"So you are some new magic users huh."
Said a man about 6 feet tall with a sword lashed to his waist.
They told their names and greeted again before going inside the wall. Insides of wall was not shabby at all a nice decoration to every place .
Nicka asked how this all was present here
" Ah new comers don't know that right .-sigh- we gathered these items by sneaking here and there but most of them were created by her."
Spoke the second unscathed one with cracked daggers on his waist.
Points to a gorgeous looking girl with her magic wings fluttering due to the air currents .[obviously she was one of the unscathed three ]
{ light brown hair with golden brown feathers covering some parts of body visible due to the gaps in the armour . And her upper cheeks covered with feathers too. She had a shinning arm ring on her wrist along with gloves made of steel .}
She had molded all her fallen wings and used debris to make this place feel comfortable . At her side were sitting two injured girls whom she was treeting.
"Damn this place is not bad ." Said Nicka in her estonished voice
On the next morning Nicke was woken up by Waada who had not sleept clearly, saying
"Wake up Nicke hordes of monzters are coming."
Next moment hordes & hordes of monzters could be seen in a distance .
One of them shouted " Sheru ,I told you to stop messing with your daggers and take the ladder up .Why don't you listen to me?"
"Sazji it was Bazz's duty earlier."
Said sheru while scratching his head.
Sharply Bazz replied " Noooo it was not "
Next they could see monzters literally climbing the ladder.Monzters -some were boars , some were humanoids, a small qnit of giants all reeking of ordor that could kill a human just by coming near them.
" Just push the ladder down ." Said Nicka
" No we cannot, it took us literally a year to find logs and planks to make that ."
"Tch , then get ready to attack"
With that Waada released his power and created a barrier of air .
After meeting the barrier monzters began growling and with a splash all on the ladder were thrown back down
"Whaaatt Damn you are powerfull man " said Sheru
" Ok donot mess up now you two" saying that Sazji unsheathed his sword and went down ladder and jumped.
Head of a gaint rolled as his body fluid scattered.
"Huh now pull it Sheru" said Bazz and
Both picked back the ladder.
Then Bazz carried him to battle . Soon others started following them . A steel manipulator made a bridge all went ahead.

Episode 4 - The Prep-time
Sazji cutting the beasts , Sheru slashing with his daggers , Bazz picking up and dropping them back to crush them . While others stuck close to the wall they advanced.
Seeing the scene Nicka joined as well . Jumping down and using her staff to clear the path as she soon disappear behind the large pile of bodies.
Observing them Waada soon realised that this was a proper coordinated plan and only problem was the ladder. Soon all three of them returned unscathed again and soon Nicka followed as well.
Others were injured again and two of them soon succumbed to death.
At night they placed their bodies on top of the pile and said ' NOW REST OH GOOD SOULS'
They all then eat food cooked by Sheru and Bazz.
[ Between the wall there was a firtile land sazji maintained it and managed do grow some herbs . Meat products were extracted from older monzters because as old a monzter is the unrotten and weak it becomes ]
Waada exclaimed " That was a plan well thought and good strategy bazz."
" Yeah but making plan is Sazji's part I am a passive exicutor"
" Oh " He looked at Sazji and then praised him
" You did a good job" followed by " but exicution was wrong . Make Nicke part of the plan next time . She is the best when it comes to makimg a plan successful"
"Thanks and I will consider you both next time as i saw you are not bad yourself."
"Yeah plan is not best forte of Waada here . He is kind of said and done type." Added Nicka laughing and poking her finger on Waada'a cheek .
Then Nicka asked " What was with that king again"
" Okay you wanna know?"
Everyone suddenly turns and starts listening
"Well not much is known about this place's origin. But being among the high members and conducting my own investigation I learnt that this kingdom once cherished magic"
Scene change
In the flashback 11 years ago , King is shown happy whilst seeing the kingdom brim with magic.
But then a silhouette apears and the king fights him but loses .
Then after that defeat, somehow manages to seal him on the other side of the continent . Then due to some unknown risk factor he manipulated memories of every one of the citizens but with exceptions like...
"Myself, But then he hired that witch and she made me forget it all."
"I just recently got them back and continued my research but that right Hand caught me "
Everyone was shocked then Sheru added
"Okayyyy . Then you mean we have been here for no reason at all?"
" No that riskfactor and that witch .... Hmmm something smells fishy,yes?"
Added Sazji
" Let it go and try to get strong from now on . Soon something bad is gonna happen and i want us to be ready for it"
Waada concludes the talk and they continue with their monzter killing whilst preparing to face that risk factor.
[ Here something is left out like , use of magic is allowed but to limited people . I wonder why?]
For the next six months they stayed there and considered it thier home base . Meanwhile trying to collect information and weakness of M.
A name that they found out belongs to the creator of monzters.
< They knew the part of 6 months stay was false yet they remained stationed there . It was prep time before facing some threat they knew they would loose against at their current strength >
After 6 months something strange happened .
Normally no flying monzter would appear but that day all of beast attacking were flying high.
Shocked Sazji said " well now is the time for plan 2C "
"Coreect, now take formation" added Nicka
But all of that was about to be in wain because in the middle of the monzters appeared the creator M.
