The Library

Larry, staff in hand, became Wosolla again. He stood in front of the line of archers as the flames dwindled away.
"Bowmen draw your arrows, fire on my command." He could see the two women riding amoung the horde dealing death where they passed. Rei jumped the flames and charged.
"They're coming, get ready." He yelled to the others and raised his staff signaling the archers to readiness.
 
Vixen had a technique. She would cut the rider's saddle strap causing them to fall sideways then with an assassin's precision she would pull them into her arms finishing the job with a deadly jab to their heart or a quick slice across their throat.

It was an intimate dance, one she knew well. When she realised they were giving her a wide berth she grabbed a horse now deficite of it's rider and urged it into the fray. Several arrows had downed some of the riders. She hoped their aim was good. She pulled out her short swords and attacked... she looked to the side to see Rei mauling three men at one time. She grinned, letting out a cry of triumph as she saw their numbers weakening.

The horse Vixen rode was not nearly as good or responsive as Tridant but he was doing a good enough job. Vixen felt someone's blade come down hard on her shield. She cursed turning the horse to meet her attacker. She looked into his eyes and froze. "YOU!!!?" He turned his horse and urged it away calling the remaining horsemen to him.

Vixen snapped out of her shock... "YOU BASTARD!.. I'LL HUNT YOU DOWN AND KILL YOU IF IT'S THE LAST THING I EVER DO!!" The now severely weakened horde rode out with a thundering of hooves. Vixen growled angrily. She sheathed her swords and rode back to the village. The flames were long gone. The people had taken minor injuries but looked well pleased with themselves for withstanding another attack.

Jo moved forward with Tridant and Vixen helped her off the horse. He snorted with exhaustion, his breath fierce. She patted him and lead him to the water trough. He drank greedily as Vixen considered her options.
 
Joe patted Trident.
"Good buy."
She turned and looked at Vixen."So who was the guy you wanted to turn into a eunich?"
Joe grabbed the reins of the other horse and looked him over."Hey Vixen, do you want this guy? Cause if not I'll ride him."
Joe watched Rei make his way toward them. she raised her hnd in greeting.
Joe looked at Vixen. She wap her on the shoulder."Vixen, I think this is the begining of a great friendship."
 
Rei: my amazing brain had finally kicked in.
"i think i understand what is going on here. i read it in an old magiks manual. not too long ago a great wizard forged two stones...they were ment for inter-time travel, now all of this sounds perposteris, but these strange visitors seem to be living proof..tell me....Gary was it? i think that is the correct pronounciation. What is the name of the nation you reside in? and how did you get here in the first place??? And vixen i think we need to have a little talk about what to do about them"
 
Vixen grinned at Joe as she thumped her shoulder. "Indeed Joe, 'tis an honour to be able to call a warrior such as yourself friend," she agreed.

Rei came up telling her about some magickal stones. "Magick!" she growled, "never anything good to come of magick..." she wrinkled her nose at the very word. "Why should we do anything for these travellers? Apart from Joe here, most of them seem fairly useless... they shouldn't have come here in the first place as unprepared as they clearly are... in fact they shouldn't have been playing with something so powerful, especially as they clearly had no idea how to work it." She looked down her nose at the professor as if daring him to deny his stupidity. He sighed, shaking his head... "don't any of you understand the historical significance of this find?"

Vixen's brow wrinkled, "what are you talking about old man? Significance? We almost got slaughtered by a horde of horsement... and since the man leading them... as far as I knew... should have been dead... I can only presume that you brought him back with those ridiculous stones of yours..."

She turned to Joe again, "I refuse to say his name out loud... suffice to say... I saw him die. That he walks again, does not bode well at all..."
 
Rei: i quickly grabbed vixens shoulder and stared at her
with cat like eyes
"This IS Serious. According the manual, If the travelers do not return to their own time by 5 weeks after they came, not only my world but many others will be torn apart! i know what you think but we must help them. the chances are good they came here against their own will unknowing what they might face but i will see if i can bring them somthing from their time that will serve as weapons"
 
Gary watched the warriors argue with each other. He was trying to ignore them, although they were talking pretty loud.
He walked over to the professor, who was deeply into one of his books. He sat down next to him, picking up an ancient book and reading. It didn't make any sense to him though, wasn't even in english.
Gary looked out into a meadow, he saw some sort of animal. He looked closer, it couldn't be... could it? He walked over making sure his eyes weren't mistaking.
"Hey Huck, what is that yellow animal?"
Hucklberry Finn, alive as he was, walked over and stared intently, "Darn if I know wut the thin is."
Gary sighed, he was afraid of that, "I think I know what it is. "
"Wut?" Huck said puzzled.
He was ashamed he knew that creature's name, "It's a Pikachu."
Just then he heard it say, "Pika!!! Pika!!!"
Gary lowered his head, this world has hit a new low.
 
And the Plot Thickens!

OOC: NO dont involve Pokemon! anything But Pokemon!!! NOOOOOOOOO now i gotta change charicter to someone more suitible. im going to switch out of rei for now. because i think i will be able to better write for this story as myself. well, close to myself. but i hope you understand
IC:
Edmund Duke: i was working in a midevil festivle when out of no where a giant gate appeared in front of me. i had read about things like this in books and jumped for joy as no one else was around. i quietly visited a few of the shops, picking up armor, a sword, daggers, a shield, bow and a quiver of arrows, my alchiamy kit, and my elven cloak i rode into the gate on my White Stallion Blazer eager for adventure..
ELSEWHERE!!!!
rei in mid arguement dissappeared into thin air and was replaced by a man in armor on a pure white steed with the crest of the dominion on his shield, needless to say this spooked those present quite a bit duke quickly reacted to the knife that was hurled at his head by using his shield do deflect it
"Hello young lady, Where am i and who are you , oh beutiful assassin?"
 
Joe felt something hit he side. She lookd dow at one of Vixen dagers. She turned. A man in armor stood where Rei had been. Joe grabbed his shoulder, and with a sweep-kick brought his les out from under him. She planted her foot on his cest and held her sword at his throat.
"who are you? And where did Rei go?"
From the cornor of her eye Joe saw a strange yellow animal boncing up and down. "PROFESSOR!", she roared,"Get rid of IT before I kil IT, and all the kids of the world are lost one monster!"
Vixen looked at her"Don't ask." Joe said shaking her head.
 
"Attack", the scream rumbled throughout the valley. Horsemen pored out of the hills only to be followed by more infantry. Genjaro rode into the valley shouting," arm yourselves, enemies of the Warlord, for his hordes are coming and no fire will stop them", Genjaro quickly came to a halt and pulled out his own weapons of choice, a bastard sword, and a flail.
 
Edmund Duke: "my Dear lady i am General Edmund Duke if you must know. as for this rei....."
Rei, where had i heard that name before...of course the Arabian Knights Books....
"I know not where he has gone to, but.." i rolled away and quickly pulled out my Sword ,Glamdring
"If you do not tell me your name we may have to settle this like warriors. Now Speak!" she didnt speak she attacked thinking i was one of those horsemen. the attack was quickly blocked, and countered and had my sword across her throat
"Now young Lady Be so kind as to tell me your name and what the devil is going on here.
 
OOC: WHAT LADY!!!!???? DONT CALL ME A WOMAN! NO OFFENSE.

IC:
The horsemen came as a neverending tide, pouring out of the mountains by the hundreds.
 
OOC: Sorry, It was just that I had posted the last thread. And don't you have better things to do than talk to Vixen when a horde of maniacs is charging at you?
 
OOC: Children Children, not here. I thought we talked about this.

IC:
Gary looked at another approaching army of horsemen.
"These guys must think we are insurance salesmen or something."
Gary saw the professor chuckle.
"Professor, what have you learned so far?" he asked, looking at the approaching assholes. (no offense morgoth, but they are trying to kill my character, and anyone who tries to kill my character I consider an asshole)
The professor looked up, "Well, from my books. I have learned that there is a great hall, somewhere in a magical place, kinda like the bermuda triangle of this world. There is a hall of records, if we get there, and place the two stones where they belong then we will get things straightened out."
"Straightened out?" he asked.
"Well, as I see it, when we jumped in here, we opened many holes. Some here, and some on earth. That is why so many people keep popping up. We have to find the great hall, and close the doors to both worlds, so then this nightmare will be over."
Gary looked at this place, so many questions, so little time.
"So," he looked at Vixen, "What's the plan this time?"
He hoped it was good.
 
OOC:Why should I take offense?

IC:
"Pull out your weapons if you want to live, quickly", Genjaro commanded. The first of the horsemen made contact with valley floor only to be rewarded with shattered skulls, and crushed ribs.
 
Larry advanced the line of villagers forming a defensive ring around Gary, Huck and the Professor. The horde surged and surrounded the group. The villages fought well but were no match for the horse man. They ring shrunk in as their numbers declined. Larry having picked up a fallen ones pike and took a place in the circle.

The riders attacked with renewed force and the ring collasped. One on one with the horde the villagers were doomed.
 
Then Genjaro pulled out a horn and blew on it three times. Three huge Mana golems stepped out of a portal. The first horseman to try and kill one was obliterated by it's fist.
 
"Oh Goddess... I really really hate these odds..." Vixen replied to Gary's question, "it makes everything so... unorganised... so... messy..." she scrunched up her nose... even as she found two scimitars. She hefted one in each hand testing the balance. "Well M'Lord Gary... you can fight... or you can run... I suggest fighting if you value the length of your life... or running if you want this over quickly and fairly painlessly..." She grinned, her eyes sparkling with excitment as she turned to face the oncoming. She easily mounted her horse Tridant and forced him towards the fray. She manouvered towards the rapidly declining villagers and set about slashing with seeming randomness at the horde. Each stroke cutting down at least two if not more riders. Not every blow an instant death, but all of them fatal. She screamed out her war cry... the sound echoing off the mountains.
 
Joe lept onto the secon horses ack and went after Vixen. "Professor, go hide somewhere." she yelled over her shoulder.
She flew into the hord. She slashed away at the on coming hord. She heard a whistle on her left and flatted herself against the horse. A sword flew over her head. She looked up. Vixen was by her side.
"Vixen, lovely day isn't it?" Joe asked as she shoved her sword in a passing rider." Care for a spot of tea later?" Vixn laughed and hacked her way throught the crowd.
Joe looked around and relized her horse had taken her out of the battle.
"Okay horse, time to name you so I can yell at you. How about....Ra?"
The horse reared up."Ra it is. Now get your ass back in that fight."
Jpoe and Ra thundered into the battle again.
 
Larry fought desparately to save those who had been "his people". As Wosolla he thought he was leading them to the future. Now he'd lead them to their deaths. A blow to the back dropped him to his knees. He hung his head, awaiting the death blow.
 
Vixen turned to see the leader of the Village fall to his knees. She noticed because his people were screaming, without him they paniced. "DAMN!" She cursed, without thinking she slipped her scimitar between her teeth to hold it and pulled a knife from her boot with her free hand. She looked the dark figure in the eye and just as he was about to bring down his sword she let her dagger fly. It's aim didn't waver. With a sickening thud, it hit the figure between the eyes and the handle of the dagger wavered just like an arrow before it fell heavily forward on top of Larry.

Vixen didn't even notice her attention already taken up again by the masses of horsemen. "This is bloody ridiculous!" She yelled across to Joe who was grinning wildly as she hacked at the horsemen. "GIMME SOME ROOM!" Vixen shouted, Joe understood and hacked a smallish semicircled around Vixen who sheathed her scimitars momentarily as she passed her hands in a arc-like movement abover her head. "I really hate doing this..." she muttered as she sang the words that helped her gather charged energy from about herself. The air crackled in response as she felt the power channelling. Finally when she couldn't take in anymore, she yelled, "MOVE BEHIND ME!" and Joe manouvered her horse so that she was just a head length to the left and behind Vixen. With a screaming sizzle of raw electrical energy, ten crackling blasts of electricy mowed down the first three rows of horsemen. The smell of burnt flesh was overpowering. Vixen felt drained, but drew her swords again. Joe seeing her weakened state rushed forward to attack the oncoming hordes again. "SHIT, can you do that again?" She asked.
"Just give me a moment..." Vixen responded, she kicked viciously at a rider who was trying to claw up her leg in a desperate attempt to save himself.
 
"Get behind the golems!" Genjaro shouted. He rode behind the golems as they started to crush the horsemen with their fists.
