There was no answer. Gregory was gone, and Lucien turned on the head spy.

“Where is he!?!?!?!” he thundered.

*I don’t know... he just vanished. I was just as blinded as you were. It will be safer if you stay here for now to defend us, then in the morning we can escape and make a new base.”

“Very well. This is very frustrating. How did he find the base...”

“I do not know my Lord, but we must move. All right men! All of you get to bed, and prepare to move tomorrow!”

**************************************************

It was pitch dark. The base had not a single glimmer of light besides the furious red glare of Lucien’s eyes as he prowled the base. Gregory had not left. Ohhhhhh no. Gregory was very much there, using the body of the head spy! When the room had become clouded during the fight, Gregory had morphed into the exact shape and clothing of the head spy. He had groped through the smoke and steam, and finding the spy, teleported him away.

Now, Gregory was silently creeping through the base, going into every room and teleporting the men in them. He had also rummaged through the meeting room and the records room, taking out all the most important documents and using blood spells on the rest of the papers to make them unintelligible.

All this he did while dodging Lucien, by hiding behind pillars when Lucien was facing that way, and as soon as his back was turned, taking the documents and teleporting the men. When he had finished, when every last man was gone from the base, he prepared a very ugly surprise for Lucien. He used his spells to spatter blood all over every bed of every man, to make Lucien think they were dead.

He teleported away, and the rage of Lucien was very great when he discovered that his spy headquarters had been obliterated under his very nose.

Ok, there is one chapter, and in a day or two I'll put the next one to make up for not posting in so long. (I would post it now but it is kind of a long one and I am getting shorter and shorter in buffer

)

PS: Oh, and I have started writing again! Soon there will be a flood of more story coming through!

Next chapter!!

@flaming noms: The word 'guise' means a deceptive outward appearance. Although the word 'disguise' is the word most people use, 'guise' is also accurate for the meaning of the phrase.

Chapter XXXV

“A trainer you say? A trainer... Well I just got a man who joined us as a sword specialist, by the name of Ronden Sentathame, but we just call him Ron. He is a very skilled fencer and swordfighter, and can work admirably with any weapon, be it a rapier or a heavy two handed-sword. If you want him as a private trainer, however, then you will have to pay a heavy due, because he gets a very, very high rate here. What do you say?”

“I can pay any rate, what do you pay him here?”

“Here, at the Warrior’s Guild, we pay him 50k a day! He trains people all day long, and I have to say, he does very well. He is not as good at fighting as me, but he is a better trainer.”

“Very good. Tell him I am willing to pay him 75k per day for training only 19 people. I’m sure you will want him back, but I will only need him for a few months. I’ll be back tomorrow.”

“Ok then, see you soon.”

Gregory had just been at the Warrior’s Guild, in the guise of a random young man, talking to the leader of the guild. He needed someone to train him and the rest of his group how to use a sword. Gregory himself had been training his group how to use magic, permitting them to use the runes, and helping them in their strategy. However, he needed to learn how to use a sword well.

**************************************************

“Hello, I have returned. Will Ronden come with me?”

“Yes, he said he would. Ronden, come, this will be your new employer.”

“Hello,” said Ronden, “ It is nice to meet you. I was quite surprised at your high wage, especially for so few people. I frequently work with over 50 people a day.”

“Yes, it is a very special training, and we will need the best possible help in a very short time. Are you ready to come?”

“I suppose I am. How will you pay me?”

“At the end of each day, I will supply you with your wage for that day.”

“Very good. Let us go.”

Gregory teleported himself and Ronden to his underground base. The others were waiting.

“Hey guys! This is Ronden Sentathame, our new trainer for hand-to-hand combat.”

After the group had greeted them, Gregory called for attention.

“Ronden, or Ron as you like to be called, I need to tell you what our operations are, and why you are being paid such a high wage for this.” Gregory morphed into his own form.

“We are here to fight against Lucien, who wishes to conquer the world. He has great powers, but I have powers equal to him, only lacking some of the... bonuses that he has obtained. We are here to plot against him, and to save the world.”

As Gregory finished, Ron was filled with awe. Firstly, he couldn’t fathom how Gregory had suddenly changed shape, and secondly he was amazed to hear what a large role he would play in the saving of the world.

“So... essentially... my training is going to make all of you capable of saving the world?”

“Yes. And I hope you feel as strongly about it as we do.” All eighteen of Gregory’s friends nodded in agreement, with grim looks on their faces.”

“Well,” said Ronden, “We should get to work.”

Three weeks passed. Ron was, indeed, just as good or better then Gregory had been told, and the nineteen students trained furiously. During these three weeks, Gregory made constant expeditions out to the bases which the head spy had named as spy locations. By the first week, the group of his friends could all wield a sword of any type with ease. By the second, they were fighting long duels amongst each other with dulled swords, and by the third, each one of them could be called fairly proficient. Along with their training in swordfighting, they were all still training their magic skills constantly, and with zeal. They could all cast air, water, earth, and fire spells with ease, but they still needed runes to do so.

The portals which Gregory had built in the middle floor of his base were all linked to an important area of Runescape, such as a major city or town, and next to each portal was a scrying pool which would be used to watch the location without going there. These pools were constantly checked by the trainees, as a precaution against a possible attack of Lucien against a city.

It was at the end of these three weeks that Gregory decided to make an aggressive move to take down Lucien’s new base, which he must have made by now. He took with him Eric, Martin, Sarah, Dan, and Victoria. They all wore dark gray robes with runite chainmail underneath, and the group teleported to the forest south of Ardougne.

“Quietly. I heard there were to be some spies in a hidden cave in these woods, so I want to get in there, capture some men, and then find out where the new base is.”

“Are you sure it will work?” asked Eric.

“Yes,” Gregory replied, “we have enough force to make our way in there.

“That is what YOU think!” a voice shouted from the trees. Suddenly, at least twenty-five black knights charged out of the trees, toward the group.

Wishing to test his friends’ abilities, Gregory did not use spells, and as he was disguised, the knights did not recognize him.

“Charge!!” yelled Gregory, and his five friends drew their weapons and clashed against the enemy. Gregory saw nothing but his own fight, and he was enjoying himself. Parry, riposte, thrust and then a parry. Riposte, parry, feint, and lunge! He had killed his first opponent. He looked to his friends and saw them doing fairly well. He quickly sheathed his longsword and pulled out a two-handed. Calling up all of his strength, he swung at his new opponent, breaking his sword and fairly crushing his armour.

Jumping back to avoid a swing, he raised his sword again and cut the man’s head off at the throat. He dropped the sword and pulled out two daggers, jumping about like a monkey. Parry, parry, parry, riposte, and he had almost gotten that man’s throat.

Picking up his two-handed sword once more, he swung hard at the next knight. The knight quickly crouched on his haunches, holding his sword with both hands to break the force of the blow. As the sword came down, Gregory grabbed a dagger with his left hand again, and the instant the blow had fallen, he leaped forward and killed the man before he could recover from his crouching position.

The next knight that came forward was obviously a fencer, for he had a rapier, and was wielding it with great skill. Just as Gregory was killing the last knight, this next one lunged forward, and his sword went straight through Gregory’* left shoulder. With a shout of rage, Gregory jumped back, and drew his own rapier.

Clash! Feint! Lunge! Gregory’s opponent seemed very skilled, and he was very light on his feet. Gregory lunged, leapt back, parried, parried, parried, feinted, and lunged. He jumped back in anticipation of the riposte, but his opponent did not lunge back. He simply released into a tirade of feints, lunges, and parries. Clash! Clash! Clash! Clash! He was attacking so fast that Gregory could barely keep up.

However, he could not only focus on his own fight forever. He looked to the sides, and saw his friends beginning to tire and breath hard, and he saw Victoria about to faint. He pulled out his longsword, and was about to swing again, when he heard a scream.

One of the heavily armoured knights had charged forward and grabbed Sarah’s sides, picking her up, shaking her and forcing her to drop the weapon. His face was filled with glee and a degree of malicious fury. He drew his dagger, with Sarah gasping with fright.

At his point, Gregory decided it was time to stop playing fun and games. His drawn sword was instantly charged. He swung at the nearest knight, and the power which Gregory had charged the sword with ran down the knight’s sword, through his armour, and fried him to a crisp before his next heartbeat. Dead. The move was so fast, and it let off such a flash of light, that all the knights stopped for a moment in amazement. This was just enough time for Gregory to summon a surge of energy, and freeze them all as they stood.
