Her foot bounces off of the knight, sending him down to the floor. Her blade is pulled out of the man's body as he fell. A knight charged towards the distracted Elena with his sword at his ready. Uriel saw the man and reached his right hand up towards the man. Suddenly, the bolt of lightning strikes like a knife down on top of the man.

The electricity coursed through his body, shocking him to his very core. It entered through the very crown of his head, freezing his body instantly. The knight quickly collapsed onto the floor, his heart stopping entirely. Raphael waltzed around the blades of two knights. One of the knights swing their blade up, aiming for Raphael's head while the other aimed for his shin.

Raphael jumped just high enough so that he would be able to fold his legs together as if he were sitting with his legs crisscrossed to dodge the blade from underneath. He leaned his back forward, hunching it to dodge the blade from above. His eyes watched as the blade below comes quite close to the tip of his toe. Once the blade from below passed, he lands back down on his feet with ease.

He then slashes his sword across the knight in front of him, the knight's stomach was the target. His blades cuts deep into the knight's body, sending blood to fly all over the place. The knight falls to the ground, grunting in pain as the blood fell. The knight behind Raphael thought he had an opportunity with his enemy's back turned.

He raises his blade up into the air and began to swing it down upon Raphael. The young man quickly spun around with his blade following him. His reversed blade impales the knight in the abdomen, going straight through his pancreas. Raphael pulls his blade out of the knight and he began to fell down onto the ground in a rain of blood.

As Raphael took a quick breather, he is suddenly hit by a single point of pain on his right shoulder. It made him grit his teeth and flail backwards. His purple irises turn to his right shoulder with the desire to know what had hit him. He sees the shaft of an arrow sticking out from his shoulder. He shuffled his head left and right to found the archer.

Behind the battle was a young man encased in black armour with a bow in his hand. He was beside General Gallows who watched his men fight the rebels. He reached for another arrow in his quiver as Gallows whispered to the archer. Raphael began to charge towards the archer once he saw him.

Just as he was running to the archer, the young silver haired man is then tackled onto the ground by one of the Loyal Knights from behind. Raphael lands flat on his face, his face bounced on the ground like a basketball. The knight was sitting on top of him as he prepared his sword to kill Raphael.

Without the knight's awareness, a certain knight in white armour had been within the hold of the crowd until now. The sword without a master suddenly impales the knight, it entered from the right side of his head to the left side. The knight didn't know what had hit him as he fell to the floor. Emerging from the crowd was the white knight Fionnlagh, encased entirely by white armour.

His footsteps came closer to Raphael who turned around to face whoever saved him. The crowd booed with rage at the knight as he made himself known. Fionnlagh lowered his upper body and latched his left hand onto the handle of his sword. Raphael pulled himself back up to his feet, breathing a sign of relief. "Whew," he breathed. "I would've been dead without you. Thanks."

Fionnlagh turned his face towards the young man. "Watch yourself next time," advised Fionnlagh. "Don't worry about that archer by the way. Clara's got that taken care of."

Raphael turned to where he once saw the archer. What he saw was his body on the floor as it coughed out smoke. "I see that now," he responded. "But where did Gallows go?"

"Right here, fool!" stated a voice from behind Fionnlagh. The white knight quickly turned around to face the voice. But then he felt an incredible pain that spread all throughout his body. Gallows lunged his right leg towards Fionnlagh's lower back with all of his strength, resulting in a huge dent in his armour.

The white knight is sent darting away from Gallows, shooting into the air like a speeding bullet. He flies sixteen feet from where he once stood before finally landing inside the center of the crowd to the right. His body crashes on top of two people who fall flat below him. The two people under the knight quickly squirm from under him like worms.

Fionnlagh was unconscious after that one hit, laying on his stomach. The people in the crowd glared down at the white knight and began to stomp and kick him. Raphael looked behind him as he watched Fionnlagh get swarmed. "Fionnlagh!" he yelled, concerned for the well being of his comrade.

Gallows stared at Raphael as he began to draw his sword. "Don't worry about him," he responded, taking Raphael's attention. "Honestly, worry about what you're about to experience: your death." Raphael readies himself to battle General Gallows, he quickly charged towards the brute.

Clara was within the holds on the crowd, she gazed upon the battle and the brutal battle between Balor and Malik. All around her were the shouts of people saying "gut the human." A small ball of fire began to form in the palm of her left hand. She kept her focus upon Balor as her fireball came close to it's completion.

But then, she felt something was wrong. She felt something dripping down from her abdomen and down her legs. Her eyes were widened as her fireball disappeared from sight. Her irises scrolled down and she sees a point of a dagger coming out from the middle of her abdomen. The dagger slowly slithers out of the hole it made.

Clara collapses onto the floor, blood pouring down from her wound and mouth. She hits the ground, nobody was behind her. The crowd was amused to see that the person they suspected to be a human was killed. They pointed at her body and laughed. Malik was on his knees, panting and weak. His rusty brown eyes looked up at Balor.

Balor walked over to Malik, there were several wounds that injured Balor. One to both of his shoulders and one across his chest. "For someone with your exceptional skills and experience," the king spoke. "You are exactly what I was expecting. You are the first to have inflicted me with an combat injury. Quite a feat considering how many battle I've entered."

Malik regained his breath, readying himself again. He was covered in cuts, from minor flesh wounds to wounds that cut more than just flesh. He slowly rose to his feet, readying his body and himself once again. Balor charged towards Malik with speed. He swings his sword down upon the wounded Malik. Malik quickly hopped to his left, dodging Balor's blade.

Malik tucks Balor's right arm, the one that held his sword, under his left arm. Malik then quickly elbows Balor's face with his right elbow. The tip of his elbow hits the bridge of Balor's nose. The king quickly knees Malik in the abdomen, taking the wind out of the old man. But he doesn't let go, instead he swings his blade across Balor's torso, cutting it deep. Balor's blood began to pour down onto the floor.

Unfazed by the attack, Balor launches his left hand towards Malik's face. His left hand clenches into a fist and hammers against the center of Malik's face. This sends Malik backwards, releasing Balor's arm and holding tightly onto his face. Balor began walking with haste towards the stunned man, his sword ready to kill.

Elena, surrounded by Loyal Knights along with Uriel, saw the situation that her master was in. With great quickness, she pulled out her bow and latched her hand onto an arrow from her quiver. The point of her arrow aimed directly for Balor's head. She was ready to make the shot this time without hesitation.

But just before she launched the arrow, a Loyal Knight swings his sword at her left arm, the arm holding the bow. The slight turn of her arm change the course of the arrow as it fired. The arrow gazes upon Balor who had then raised his right arm into the arm. Elena's bow is thrown out of her hand, falling onto the ground.

Her left arm was wounded so greatly by that one slash that it became disabled. It dangled lifeless and limp. She turned her head to her left to see the face of the knight who attacked her. She saw that the knight had began to make another attack, this time aiming for her life. However, the knight suddenly bursts into a fiery mess. He screamed in pain as he began his descent down to the ground like a pile of ashes.

Elena turned her head backwards, looking to what was behind her. She saw Uriel with his left hand up in the air. But then she saw a knight approaching the boy from behind. The knight swings his blade at the boy's back, sending a shockwave of pain onto him. He fell down onto the ground flat on his face.

Elena charged over to Uriel to try to save him but instead she gets kicked from behind. A boot from one the Loyal Knights smacks her in the dead center of her back. This sends her flying forward and towards the ground. Her body crashes onto the ground in a loud thud. She lets out a soft grunt as she hits the ground

Her arrows all pour out from her quiver. She felt a cold metal boot stand heavily on the center of her back. Her eyes gazed upon her bow which was just a foot away from her. She gets a grip on her bow but her hand gets crushed under the cold black metal boot of a Loyal Knight. The boot painfully pounds down on her hand, causing her agony.

Her pale blue eyes then gaze up at her brother who was put in the same position as she was. The two look at each other with desperation masking their face. Balor had his his sword in the air to finish Malik, the arrow that Elena shot suddenly pierces his right bicep. The effect sends Balor's arm flailing backwards.

He grit his teeth as the pain of the arrow shot through his arm. He grabs onto the arm and realizes that the blow was brought by an arrow by that very same archer who intended to kill him. His face tilts to the arrow as his confident smile becomes a grimace. He then felt the feeling of danger surround him.

He quickly turns his head back over to Malik who saw the opportunity to take Balor down. He saw Malik close to him with his sword in the beginning stages of a lunge. Balor quickly jumped to his left and dodged Malik's attack. He then thrusts his left hand forward, clenching into a fist. It aimed towards the right side of Malik's torso.

His fist crashed against Malik's side with all the force that Balor could muster. The thunderous blow of Balor's attack shatters Malik's ribs, causing a great deal of pain to take him. Malik releases his blade and drops down onto his knees. His face an intense grimace as he clenched tightly onto his ribs. Balor pointed his blade towards Malik's throat, ending their fight.

Raphael fought General Gallows, the strongest god in the Imperial Army. Raphael swings his blade across, aiming for Gallows' chest. Gallows hops backwards to dodge Raphael's attack. Raphael then follows up, jumping into the air and spinning around 250 degrees. His right leg then kicks the left side of Gallows' head.

Raphael lands gently on his feet while General Gallows walks backwards with his left hand pressing against the side of his head. Raphael smells the opportunity and quickly runs up to Gallows, swinging his sword down upon the general. Gallows quickly pulls his left hand out in front of him, catching Raphael's blade in his hand.

Raphael was stunned by this, thinking he had hurt Gallows. The general turned his eyes down upon the young man. "You fell for the oldest trick in the book, boy," Gallows stated. "Though I think it would be best if you didn't try something like that again, don't you think?" Gallows, with all of his strength, thrusts his right leg down upon Raphael's left thigh.

The pounding blow bashes against Raphael's thigh, smashing his femur like a nutshell under a hammer. Raphael's eyes shoot wide open as he dropped down onto the ground. His body hits the ground as his left hand lightly grabs his left thigh. He growls in agony as his right hand tightly clenches onto his sword.

Gallows gazed down upon the boy, his eyes bearing no emotion. He then turns to the Loyal Knights. "Chain them," he commanded. "They're done."

Ten minutes passed since their defeat and each living member of the resistance were on their knees. Each of their limbs were chained in iron and their weapons sheathed in their cases. They were all lined up just a few feet from the foot of the throne. They all had their heads bowed, their faces looking towards the red carpet.

The crowd cheered with excitement that finally the resistance members had been captured. Balor sat on his throne as he usually did, with his left hand clenched into a fist and pressing against his left cheek. His glowing sapphire blue irises gazed upon Malik who was at the front of the line. The group was silent, not a single sound let out from their lips.

Gallows was to Balor's left, he too looked down upon Malik. The rest of the Loyal Knights stood to the left and right of the throne. Balor crossed his legs, his right leg laid on top of his left one. "Malik Poena of Governanti," called Balor. "Have you anything to say?"

Raphael turned his purple irises gazed at the back of Malik. Malik gazed his rusty brown irises up at Balor. His eyes lacked any emotion, not even fear. He did not speak at all as he continued to stare up at Balor without fear. Each member of the resistance looked up at the back of their master. Balor hunched his back forward and gazed with tension at Malik. "Beg for your life, worm," he mumbled to him. "It might just save you and your little rebellion."

Malik shook his head. The group began to notice that Malik was moving his hands quite a bit. "Even if I die," Malik finally spoke. "The resistance will only get stronger."

Balor smiled with evil gleaming on his face. "How exactly does that work?" he curiously questioned. "You and your little rats are all here, chained up as they should be. They along with you will be executed."

Malik shook his head. "They will not be here for long." stated Malik.

Balor raised his left eyebrow. "Really?" responded Balor, leaning back against his chair. "Then you must have invited more of your little friends."

Malik's hands finally froze in position, they were wide open except his index fingers. Elena and Raphael both realize exactly what he was going. "No," replied Malik. "They will disappear before you."

"Master Malik, no!" yelled both Raphael and Elena as his hands suddenly began to glow. The four are suddenly enveloped by a purple light. The four then just disappear into thin air before the eyes of Balor and the rest of the gods. Just within the blinking of an eye, all that was left of the four behind Malik was the remains of the chains that held them.

This created distress among the crowd, commotion of all kinds consumed the entire building. "What just happened?!" yelled one of the gods in the crowd. It was a loud commotion that nobody could hear their own thoughts. Malik looked at Balor emotionless, the king gazed back at Malik. The two seemed to have a conversation with each other through eye contact.

Everybody in the crowds shuffled their heads all over the place, trying to figure out what had happened. "Where did they go?" questioned many of the gods. Gallows had an flabbergasted look on his face, not believing his eyes. Even he looked all around the room to try to find the resistance members that had disappeared.

Balor sat on his throne, his eyes became closed and he began to become irritated. "Silence!" yelled Balor to every single person in the room. Everybody stopped what they were doing and became quiet. They all flipped their heads back to the throne, to Balor and Malik. The room went still and silence, a cape of quiet blanketed the entire room.

Just after a minute of silence, Balor stood up off of his throne. He looked down upon Malik who returned stared up at him. ''You're quite a selfless leader, aren't you?'' said Balor as he took a step forward. ''You used the only Runes you had to teleport your comrades back to Lumbridge.''

Malik fearlessly continued to look up at the king, his voice silent and his breath almost still. ''I told you that you shall be stopped.'' replied Malik. ''Now that they have left this palace, it is only a matter of time.''

Balor took another step forward. A light smirk grew on his face. ''And so those humans will be the instrument of my destruction?'' asked the king. ''I beg to differ. You see, if they come back...they will be defeated. If they escape and come back, they will be defeated. If they do anything at all, they will be defeated. There is nothing they can do without their precious iconic leader.''

''The true instrument of your destruction, Balor,'' continued Malik. ''is your continued underestimation of us.''

Balor took another step forward. He saw just one and a half feet from Malik. ''Believe what you will, Malik.'' Balor mumbled. ''But the question is...what do I do with you?''
