The young woman, wearing a bright red bow in her long dark hair, steps down from the boat. "Hmm..." she says, looking around at the surrounding brush, "Something's not right here..." General Lu blows the battle horn, thousands of fighters rush from hiding, taking down Zev's soldiers in surprise. The woman's eyes narrow, not at all surprised by this event, but very annoyed.

Faeda: "Who is she?" (o_O)
Edeline: "It's Fruma, 2nd Lieutenant of Zev's army. Be careful... she's just as ruthless as Sonya." (-_-)
General Lu: "Okay... we must stick together. Protect the seer at all cost." (o_o)
Galen: "Of course. Oar are you ready?"(>_>)
Oar: "Yes... if things go wrong, I will get Vi and Faeda to safety." (-_-)
Adie: "Now, don't fight too hard. Those stitches haven't healed yet!" (o_o)
Oar: "Adie... be careful out there." (-_-)
Adie: "Of course! I am a powerful Mage, remember?" (;^_^)

Our heroes, along with General Lu, leave the cliffs and head down into the battlefield. Adie quickly begins her spells, Vi begins to play her violin, and Faeda heals the fallen allies. "It's time to make things right." nods Edeline, drawing her sword and taking out as many of Zev's soldiers as possible. General Lu jumps in, side-by-side, helping her with the task. Oar and Galen stay nearby Faeda, striking any enemy that ventures too close to the helpful Faeda.
Faeda frowns, trying desperately to help one fallen ally. "It's not working... I think he's dead..." she says sadly. "We'll have to keep moving, Faeda." says Galen, placing a hand on her shoulder, "There's nothing more we can do." "They're coming in fast!" gasps Oar, highly concerned, "I'm having a hard time keeping up, with the arrows." He shoots many arrows at once, turning five or six men into stone, but instantly five more is headed their way. Faeda stares blankly at the fallen ally, unable to move. "Let's go." urged Galen, "There are others who need your help, Faeda."
"GALEN!" shouts Oar, "They're moving in!" Galen turns suddenly, kicking away four of Zev's soldiers, making it easier for Oar to take out the next two. "We're cutting it a little close." nods Oar, "We must move!" Galen grabs Faeda's arm and they move ahead on the battlefield. Edeline is in blind rage, taking out every soldier she could find, with pure fury.

Edeline: "You will pay for all the sadness that you've caused!!!" W('O')W
General Lu: "Edeline..." (-_-)
Edeline: "You took everything from us!!!" W('O')W
General Lu: "You must focus..." (-_-)
Edeline: "Horrible-despicable-scumbags!!!" W('O')W
General Lu: "Edeline?" (o_O)
Edeline: "What you've done to my people..." W('O')W
General Lu: (-_-)
Edeline: "What you've done to... Galen..." (-_-)
General Lu: "Edeline, please listen..." (-_-)
Edeline: "I will never forgive you!!! You must all DIE!!!" W('O')W
General Lu: "Edeline!!!" W('O')W

General Lu grabs her and pulls her off to the side of the battlefield. "What are you doing?!" she shouts. "I'm trying to keep you alive!" he growls, "The battlefield is no place for wild vengeance! You're not going to win, with so much emotion, you're going to get yourself killed!" "But," frowns Edeline, "You don't understand!" "I do." he says, "Very much so. I've lost my family to Zev's army, long ago. Why do you think I've became a soldier, then later General, for Ivy Castle? I want nothing more than to see Zev and his army fall! But you're WAY out of control and reckless! I can't watch over you and the seer at the same time! Stuff those feelings for now and focus on surviving, as well as winning!"
Edeline looks towards the ground. "Yes," she says, in a small voice, "You're right." "Now," nods General Lu, "We fight. Just focus on what you're doing and take out the enemy quickly." "Right." nods Edeline, calming down a bit. They both return to battle, taking out as many soldiers as possible, working their way closer to Fruma.
"...Perish now! Lightning Strike!..."shouts Adie! Several lightning bolts shot from the sky, striking many of Zev's men. "Woah." gasps Galen. "Looks like she's getting better." smiles Faeda, while healing a fallen ally. "Yeah." nods Galen. Oar shoots several arrows turning ten more into stone. Vi sings a note, shattering the stones into dust. "Nice." nods Oar. "It's kinda easy," blushes Vi, "With an violin." Galen pulls Vi out of the way of incoming fireballs. "Eeek!" screams Faeda, ducking with the ally.

Galen: "Adie!!! Watch it!" (o_o)
Adie: "WHAT? That wasn't me, you moron!" (;u_u)
Oar: "Looks like Zev's army is using their Arcane Arts." (-_-)
Vi: (o_o)
Edeline: "Are you guys okay?" (o_O)
General Lu: "Don't worry, the soldiers' skills are lacking in the Arts. No different than fighting a low level Mage. If Fruma should start, then we'll have trouble." (-_-)
Galen: "Then maybe we should focus on taking out Fruma?" (o_O)
General Lu: "Already the plan. Edeline and I will go after Fruma. The rest of you, take cover and protect Faeda." (-_-)
Galen: "No, I can't let Edeline face Fruma alone. I'm coming too." (o_o)
Edeline: "Galen..." (-_-)
General Lu: "That's an order, Galen! Now take the others and lay low."
(-_-)

Edeline runs off with General Lu, leaving a very irritated Galen behind. "Come on," nods Oar, "Let's take shelter in that cave." "What about the battle?" frowns Adie. "I have more people to help." says Faeda. "He's the General." says Oar, "We'll have to trust that he knows what he's doing." "Incoming!" gasps Vi. Hundreds of fireballs were falling from the sky! "Let's go!" shouts Galen. Our heroes duck and dodge, making their way across the field, and into the cave. A fireball just barely missed Oar, by inches, as he stepped into the shelter of rock. "Whew..." sighs Adie, "That was close!"
"Where's Galen?!" shrieks Faeda. They all look around and Galen isn't there! They peer out of the cave and among the rain of fire, Galen is making his way towards Edeline and General Lu's fight! "That moron!" yells Adie. "Why?" frowns Vi, "Why would he go back?" "For Edeline." sighs Faeda. "No," waves Oar, "Because General Lu gave him an order. And Galen doesn't like orders." Everyone sighed, realizing that was more the truth than anything else.

Edeline: "What are you doing here, Galen?!" W('O')W
Galen: "Come on, aren't you happy to see me?" o(^_-)O
General Lu: "You were ordered to stand down!" (-_-)
Galen: "Well, I don't take orders!" (u_u)
General Lu: "Unbelievable..." (-_-)
Edeline: "I'm sorry, sir." (;^_^)
Galen: "Don't apologize for me!!!" W('O')W
Edeline: "I wouldn't have to, if you did what you were told!!!" W('O')W
Galen: "He's not the boss of me!!!" W('O')W
Edeline: "Gah!!! Why do you have to be such an idiot?!" W('O')W
General Lu: (;-_-)
Fruma: "Well... well... well... What do we have here?" (^_^)
Edeline: "Fruma!" (o_o)
Fruma: "No one gave you the right to speak my name, dirty Koian!" (-_-)
Galen: "Do you mind repeating that?!!!" W('O')W

Fruma begins the grin. "Oh," she sighs, "Now I know who you are! You're the two fools who caught that idiot Star, on the road to Scarletwood! Hmm... wasn't there more of you?" "That's enough play!" shouts General Lu, "Prepare to fight, Fruma!" "I agree..." nods Fruma, "It's about time I began the killing!" She points to the sky and giant stones began to fall, along with the flames, injuring many and a killing a few of the good-guys. Zev's army is safe, with invisible Arcane shields.
"You witch!" growls Edeline. "What? The stones?" yawns Fruma, bored, "That's nothing. I can do better damage in my sleep. But, I wanted to hold back those insignificant insects, so I may slowly kill you three." She giggles, as if this is a brand new game! "Today is you last day!" shouts Galen, "Savor it, while you still can!" He leaps across the air, his foot inches from Fruma's face. She waves, bored, and Galen flies across the field in another direction.
"Galen!!!" shrieks Edeline. "Next?" sighs Fruma. Edeline steps forward, but General Lu jumps in, plunging his sword through Fruma's stomach. "Die!" he growls. "Not today." sighs Fruma, sending Lu and his sword across the field. Fruma wounds heals quickly, right before Edeline's eyes. "W-" she gasps, "What are you?" "Power." nods Fruma, knocking Edeline across the field with a mighty kick. From the caves, the rest watch in worry.

Adie: "Oh, no!" (o_o)
Oar: "She's way too strong." (-_-)
Faeda: "We have to help them!" (o_o)
Vi: "We need a plan." (>_>)
Oar: "Okay, there's stones and flames falling from the sky." (-_-)
Vi: "We have to somehow stop that first or we'll never make it." (u_u)
Adie: "Ugh! Come on, Adie, think!" (>_<)
Faeda: "The shields! If we can somehow remove the shields around Zev's army..." (o_O)
Adie: "Yeah! And then the fire and stones will have to stop, because Zev's guys will be wiped out too!" (^o^)
Oar: "Good plan. But how do we dispel powerful Arcane shields." (-_-)
Adie: "Aww! My magic isn't strong enough for that." (u_u)
Vi: "And I have no songs that can pierce Arcane skills." (u_u)

They watch apprehensively, as Galen is thrown across the field for the third time. Edeline and General Lu approaches next. "They're not going to last long." says Oar, "Fruma is just merely playing with them, before she kills them. Not unlike a cat with an mouse." "Oh," whimpers Adie, hopping from foot-to-foot, "We have to do something!" "What can we do?" sighs Vi, "We can't go rushing out there. It's too dangerous!" A huge stone falls nearby, causing everyone to jump back a little.
"So," frowns Adie, "We'll just stand here and watch our friends die?! Are we really going to do that?!" Faeda begins to cry. "Faeda..." says Oar, putting a hand on her shoulder. "No!" she shrieks, "I don't want my friends to die! I don't want anyone to die! All of this death! All of this sadness!" Adie looks away, Vi steps closer, worried. "No!" Faeda yells, pulling away from both Oar and Vi, "This isn't right! I want this all to stop!" The key floats from her gown, glowing very bright, and she stares at it through tears. "Please," she says, almost in a whisper, "Just this once... please help us here." The cave fills up with light.

Fruma: "The Key!" (o_o)
Edeline: "What's going on?" (o_O)
Galen: "Looks like Faeda is doing something huge!" o(^_-)O
General Lu: "I don't believe it... The shields!" (o_o)
Edeline: "They're fading away!" (^o^)
Fruma: "NO! My Army!" (o_o)

Fruma stops the rain of fire and stone, not before many of Zev's men were killed. Galen, Edeline, and General Lu attack Fruma at once! Edeline and Lu's swords are through her middle, as Galen kicks her across the field. "Yeah!" cheers Galen. But Fruma stands, annoyed. "No!" he yells, "Stay down!" "Annoying little pests!" growls Fruma, pulling the swords from her and tossing them to the side, "It's best to finish this quick!"
Oar, Vi, Adie, and Faeda leave the caves. They fight and defeat soldiers, which is now easier without their shields, making their way towards their friends. Every now and then Faeda stops to heal an ally or two, while Oar and Vi defeat enemies with their combined skills. By the time they reach a battered General Lu and Edeline, Fruma and what's left of her soldiers are pulling away from the Coast in Zev's war-ship.
"She got away." sighs General Lu, exhausted. "But we've won!" smiles Edeline, "Just look around. We've defeated most of Zev's army!" "That's true." nods the General. "Wait," frowns Faeda, "Where's Galen?" Everyone looks around. Adie screams and points to their left, "It's Galen!!!" Galen lies, unmoving, on the shores of Quibble Coast...
