War

Queen Joyaste had dispatched ranking officer Natyla Lynnin and many other Ryzin warriors to put fear of Ryzin into Patoran's populace. Natyla's wista, Vincynt, had decided to accompany her. Armed with their courage, wits, and love, Natyla at least was determined to achieve total victory.

Natyla and the others had met up with a scout unit. After learning of many earlier defeats at the hands of the Patoran army, Natyla commanded her army to capture a strategic military base. The battle however, was beginning to look quite grim.

"Natyla, go go go! I'll cover you!" Vincynt, Natyla, and a dozen other warriors were inside a trench outside the military installment, being bombarded by Patoran forces, seperated from the main army. Natyla nodded. "Right, you six, follow me!" Nayla and half a dozen warriors charged out, covered by Vincynt, with his machine gun, and the other six.

Natyla approached a line of cannons, continually blasting away at the trench. She pulled out her whip. "Alright, let's do this!" Natyla slashed away at the mages and soldiers, twisting and turning with amazing speed. All who felt her spiked Assjustice cried out in pain, being left with either death, or everlasting pain. The other six attempted to keep up with her, but failed. Three of them died, being blown to bits disable the cannons.

A unit of warriors came out to meet them, swords drawn. They approached and were immediately met by an onslaught of Vincynt's twin machine guns. She grinned. Vincynt was right beside her, covering her every movement. "Thanks Vincynt!" The five moved on, effectively making their way back to the main unit.

The other three Ryzin warriors had successfully destroyed most of the cannons, when a group of three cloaked warriors appeared to challenge them. The three quickly dispatched the Ryzin warriors with a few thrown knives, a fiery onslaught, and some astounding swordplay.

Natyla and Vincynt looked over, shocked by the appearance of these powerful warriors. The three approached, and tossed off their cloaks. The knife thrower was wearing a very dark blue and black garment, with protective gloves and a bulging sack. The magician carried a ruby scepter, dressed in a red robe. The swordsmen was garbed in silver armor, with markings of a holy knight. His sword had a platinum edge, engraved with holy signs.

The swordsmen appraoched. "We are the commanders of the Trinity Unit, guardians of Patoran, which you have just decimated. I commend you. I don't know why the Ryzin want to conquer Patoran, however, but you shall not defeat us! I am Vincente Kamodo, the might Paladin of Patoran!" The daggerman stepped forward. "I am Ryconte Jessin, ninja, and expert of the arts." The magician slammed down his scepter, creating a blazing fiery aura. "I am Jicente Kihao, the pyromage." The three charged.

Natyla grinned, and charged, her whip in hand. Vincynt readied his machine gun, and tossed a grenade. Vincente quickly chanted a few words, and extended a holy shield across himself and the other two. The grenade exploded harmlessl. Lowering the shield, he charged once more.

Natyla whipped at Ryconte, who quickly backflipped high into the air. He tossed a dagger at her. Natyla quickly knocked it out of the air, and rammed Wakonte, knocking him to the floor.

Vincynt unleashed a barrage of machine gun fire upon Vincente. "Take this!" Vincente's armor deflected the machine gun bullets, and Vincente was quickly in front of Vincynt, slashing away with his sword. Vincynt dodged the onsluaght, stuck a grenade onto Vincente's armor, and jumped away. Vincente gasped, and tugged it off. He tossed it, and it exploded seconds later, knocking Vincente back.

Jicente had been chanting a spell, and unleashed it upon Natyla and Vincynt, trapping them in a wave of fire. Vincynt struggled, but to no avail, the fire held. Natyla screamed. "Hey! What the... let go of us!!!" Jicente obliged, and blasted Natyla and Vincynt back thirty feet.

Natyla got back up, and wiped the blood from her face. "Heh, not bad." Vincente stepped forward. "Leave Patoran at once. We don't want any trouble, but we will defend Patoran with all our might!" Natyla arched her eyebrows, skeptical about what he just said. "Right. Let's see 'all your might'." Natyla hopped back up, and Vincynt followed suit.

Vincynt pulled his machine gun back up, and barreled away. "Natyla, take em out!" Natyla grinned, and charged Jicente. "Take this!" Natyla whipped around his arm. Jicente cried out in pain, and dropped his scepter, holes punctured throughout his right arm.

Ryconte noticed the attack, and pulled out twin ninja daggers. He rushed over to Natyla, only to be met with the wrath of Vincynt's machine gun, disabling Ryconte, and leaving behind bullet holes in his legs. Wakonte reached into his sack, and launched an explosive ball into Vincynt's machine gun, causing it to explode.

Vincente took this oppurtunity to charge Vincynt, platinum sword ready to strike. "Leave Patoran now!" Vincente slashed down his sword, and Vincynt dodged, leaving behind his sack of grenades. Vincente eyes widened; Vincynt grinned. "Boom." The sack created an extreme explosion, sending out a blast radius of at least fifty feet.

Natyla lost her balance, and fell onto her bottom. She looked around, and viewed the extent of the battle. Vincente's armor had been blown to bits. Wakonte's legs were bloody beyond repair. Jicente's right arm was punctured, and pale from loss of blood. Vincynt was crying in pain.

Something clicked in Natyla's mind; they're small army had barely defeated a tiny portion of Patoran's. These three warriors themselves were powerful enough to have destroyed Natyla's whole army, if not for Natyla's specialists and Vincynt. They hadn't even gotten inside the military base before being subdued. Why had Evelyn suggested such a pointless war? Was she really that stupid?

Natyla rushed over to Vincynt, and picked him up in her arms. "We're leaving. Queen Joyaste was a fool to listen to Evelyn and send us here, and Evelyn has some explaining to do." Natyla walked off with Vincynt in her arms. She summoned the tiny remaining portion of the army back to Ryzin.
