Hard Decisions Part II

As I ponder back to my science knowledge, a strange green bolt of lightning fills the sky. I look at Lenora and Mike knowing that there is only a matter of 5 days before they die.

Ace: even the skies above wants us dead! *sighs, goes over to Lenora and wipes her tears away* I will be back my love, you must rest until I'm back. *sees her trying to mumble something weakly*
Lenora: *says weakly and in a whisper* I Love you......
Ace: *hears her lovely words as she soon falls asleep and then goes over to Mike* my best friend rest, I will be back soon....

I pack my stuff and heads out of the shelter that all 3 of us had built. I notice that it is raining rather hard so I use my jacket covers myself and goes to the forest in search of the mystical plant. Remembering from my studies, this Mystical plant is called the Woalimuki Fern a strange and rare plant that is grown off the sides of mountains. I look around rather amazed at the island and notices a tall mountain up north.

Ace: *sees the rather tall mountain looming over the forest* eeep! that is one tall mountain... I wonder if this mystical plant is up there... *thinks* and what dangerous creatures have I yet discovered. *clings to my machete and continues onward*

I continue to head for the mountain in hopes of locating this plant soon. I wander around hoping that this plant can grow elsewhere yet I haven't seen anything close to the Woalimuki Fern... Suddenly I heard voices nearby, I quickly hide myself within some bushes and listens in.

Ace: *I open a small hole and peeks in*
Berserker: milord, this land is strange to our native planet. We must seek inhabitants.
Voice 1: Berserker, this is quite a place. I want this land to belong to Planet Vulyun the people of Chaos are our enemies, this place will certainly increase our empire.
Ace: *thinks to myself* hmmm.... this might be interesting. *sees two rather strange warriors in high tech armor approaching, they bow*
Voice 2: milord this is an easy task I want this mission.
Voice 1: greetings Kyuieno and Majiorkui.
Kyuieno: Hail Lord Maikhan!
Majiorkui: Hail Lord Maikhan!
Ace: *thinks to myself* this is rather strange... an invasion?
Maikhan: *signals them to get up* I want you two to stay here, and you Princess Lutra command Kyuieno and Majiorkui.
Lutra: Yes milord!
Berserker: Yes milord!

As the rain continues to pour, I watched as the meeting takes place. Suddenly a green portal of some sort opens up near Lord Maikhan. Out of these portals come out an army of warriors, I stay perfectly hidden while this happens. A strange Lord walks in with a mystical gold blade leading his army.

Maikhan: Berserker, Lutra, Majiorkui, and Kyuieno finish them! *casts a portal and flees*
Chaos: my Chaos warriors finish them! *signals his Archer* Alleria stay here and cleanse this place of Vulyun soldiers!
Alleria: Yes milord! *with great accuracy she sends a Golden Chaos arrow at Majiorkui*
Lutra: Yes milord! *slices some Chaos warriors* this is too easy!
Berserker: Yes milord! *slices and finishes some of the Chaos warriors*
Majiorkui: *is hit with the arrow and collapses*
Kyuieno: No! *rushes over to Majiorkui and heals him*
Alleria: *sends another Golden Chaos arrow this time at Kyuieno*
Kyuieno: *deflects the arrow and sends it at Alleria, knocking her into the bushes where I am hiding*
Ace: *startled* oh no! *rushes over to her, takes out my medical pack and bandages her*
Alleria: than- *I seal her lips not letting her speak* shhh!

As the battle continues the rain stops pouring and is at a drizzle. Lord Chaos kills Berserker, as Majiorkui revives he see his fallen friend, Kyuieno carries Majiorkui away from the battlefield and is sad that Berserker had died.

Lutra: No! *with hatred she slashes Lord Chaos*
Chaos: *while being distracted for searching Alleria, gets sliced* arg!
Kyuieno: I will be back after your hide Lord Chaos! *walks off into the forest carrying Majiorkui*
Chaos: Warriors go after them! *covers his wound and returns a slice at Lutra*
Ace: *whispers to Alleria* are you okay?
Alleria: *covers her wound* thank you kind sir, how may I repay you?
Ace: *smiles* call me Ace. *continues to watch as the battlefield is clears out* no need to repay me, just rest.
Alleria: Ace... your name is familiar.... *smiles and rests*
Lutra: *gets sliced on her right shoulder and collapses*
Chaos: *goes into the Chaos dimensions*
Lutra: *knowing she has lost, she kills some Chaos warriors, and goes with Majiorkui and Kyuieno*
Alleria: *lets out a sigh of relief as Lutra leaves* that was close. I'm Alleria, High Archer of planet Chaos, thank you for rescuing me fellow warrior.
Ace: *rather embarrassed* um... I'm not a warrior.

I finally got out of the hiding place, looks around and shakes my head. The body of Berserker lies there in his own pool of blood and as I continue to look around I noticed many Chaos warriors have died as well. Alleria goes over to her fallen warriors and buries them one by one. It is now night time, we grew tired after the burials.

Alleria: um... so you are not a warrior? what are you?
Ace: yes I am no warrior, though I wish to be one. *slices in the air with machete*
Alleria: *wonders and stares blankly at my weapon* may I ask what weapon is that?
Ace: it is a machete used for clearing paths in a jungle and for protection. *puts down the blade and rests* what is planet Chaos?
Alleria: *smiles and embraces Ace* you are so silly! machetes are out of date my fellow warrior, and planet Chaos is really beautiful.
Ace: *surprised* machete out of date? um... what year are you from? I will visit planet Chaos one day.
Alleria: I'm from the year 1 million 2000 why?
Ace: *shocked* so you time traveled? um.... it is now the year 1997.
Alleria: really? *smiles* I'm here to find myself a lover as well. *sighs*
Ace: you are looking for a lover? *smiles* I have a friend you might like, want me to bring you to him?
Alleria: *smiles and brightens up* I hear many tales of Earth and the men on it as well. *smiles and giggles* may I meet this person you speak of?
Ace: *smiles* you like him already?
Alleria: *blushes* if he is a friend of yours he must be handsome like you.
Ace: well Alleria, we'll go first thing in the morning now we need to rest.

The night is dark and freezing, I pull out my sleeping bag and sleeps rather uncomfortable. Hearing a rather loud screech, I awaken to see Alleria sleeping in some sort of chamber bed. Hearing the constant screech coming from the forests, I got up rather annoyed since I couldn't fall asleep.

Ace: *looks around, goes over to Alleria and borrows her Chaos Bow* I bet it's that annoying monkey! *leaves the campsite and searches for the monkey*
Alleria: *is sound asleep in her chamber bed* Zzzz…
Ace: *finds the monkey rather high on top of a tree sleeping and smiles* I will have you first thing in the morning for breakfast. *smiles and fires a Golden Chaos arrow piercing the monkey causing it to fall* this should be tasty, since I haven't eaten all day. *goes over and picks up the arrow with the monkey and returns to the campsite*

The following morning, I am roasting some meat on a camp fire. The smell of hickory-roasted meat fills the air and I look at it hungrily. Alleria soon awakens as the fresh aroma reaches her.

Alleria: *smiles* what's cooking?
Ace: hickory smoked chicken! *can't help giggling*
Alleria: well, let me have a try at it! *smiles*
Ace: *hands her a portion of the meat* here, we have a long journey ahead of us. Do you know where I can get this mystical plant called Woalimuki Fern?
Alleria: *finishes it hungrily* thank you again Ace. *smiles*
Ace: *eats a portion quietly and hands her a canteen* water?
Alleria: sure! *drinks since she was rather thirsty* now may I meet this person that you call is your friend? Woalimuki Fern... yes I have some why?
Ace: *smiles* well I need this mystical plant to revive my 2 friends of viper venom. May I have it?
Alleria: sure! *smiles* I need not of it for I have no use of it. *hands me the Woalimuki Fern* after all you did for me, that is the least I can do for you Ace.
Ace: *smiles* thank you Alleria. *puts the Woalimuki Fern safely away* lets go back to my friends.
Alleria: lead the way Ace!

Our journey back wasn't easy....
