Two, Eleven, and Twelve were running with all their might through the dense forest inside the dungeon being chased by a horde of Fighting Tigers(Black Belt). Two was the front while Eleven and Twelve were side by side behind Two.
“Why in the hell did you poke that Fighting Tiger in the ass?” Two yelled at Eleven.
“My intrusive thoughts won.” Eleven answered. “I lost all my restraint and did what just came to my mind.”
“Why is my brother such an idiot?” Twelve complained. “Two, I finally get why you were complaining when you found out you were being paired with us for the mission.”
“Let’s hope this commotion doesn’t attract the attention of the Holy Knights.” Two said. “Who am I kidding? They will notice this eventually. But we might be able to use this to our advantage.”
“Please come up with a good plan, Two. You are the older and responsible one. I don’t wanna be Fighting Tiger food.” Twelve said.
“Sis, if we get out of this alive let’s go to a bar to meet cute guys.” Eleven said. “Two, we can find you a great woman.”
“That sounds great.” Twelve said. “Eleven, you’re a great brother. But you’re still an idiot.”
“Stop making plans for the future and focus on the now!” Two yelled. “Let’s try and sense the Magic Power of the Holy Knights. Maybe we can make them take care of our problem.”
“I see, so when the Holy Knights are tired we strike.” Twelve said. “Nice thinking. How about you become my man, Two?”
“Remember last time you dated a coworker?” Eleven said. “I don’t want a repeat of that.”
“Are we even coworkers?” Twelve said. “What are we Two?”
“Focus on the mission.” Two said. “We are comrades from the same organization, okay?”
“Yes, sir.” Twelve said.
“They are somewhere northeast.” Eleven said. “They are kind of far to pinpoint their exact location, but if we continue running we should reach them, eventually.”
“Damn! I am gonna be extra tired today.” Twelve said. “Eleven once we go back, I’ll beat you up!”
“We’ll catch up in about 10 minutes if we continue at this pace.” Two said. “But the Fighting Tigers might get tired.”
“No problem! I’ll just heal them.” Twelve said as she casted Holy magic to restore the Fighting Tigers’ stamina.
“Good thinking, Sis!” Eleven said. “Let’s speed up, the Fighting Tigers are starting to get a bit faster.”
The trio started to run faster towards the direction they could sense the Holy Knight’s Magical Power. A Mutant Fighting Tiger(Black Belt) was beginning to catch up to them. They were able to immediately spot the Mutant Fighting Tiger gaining speed due to its large size compared to the other Fighting Tigers.
“A Mutant Fighting Tiger! Shit I didn’t notice there was one!” Two said. “It must’ve been at the back of the pack. I hope you guys can fight while running!”
“OF COURSE WE CAN!!” Eleven and Twelve said.
“Twelve use buff on us, then Eleven use Elemental Magic, and then I will use Pure Magical Energy!” Two said. “THREE! TWO!! ONE!!! ATTACK!!!”
Twelve casted an Amplification Buff on both Eleven and Two. Eleven started to charge a Fireball with his left hand, while Two started to charge a blast with his right hand. After a few seconds Elven aimed his Fireball and aimed it at the Mutant Fighting Tiger. The Fireball hit the Mutant Fighting Tiger and it became enraged, so it charged straight for the trio. Before it could reach them, Two unleashed his blast of Pure Magical Energy and hit the Mutant Tiger head on. The Mutant Fighting Tiger fell down and it stopped moving. Two tried to sense something from it, but he was unable to sense anything.

“We managed to kill it! Let’s continue, we are not that far away from them!” Two said.
“Yeah, I can already sense different Magical Powers!” Twelve said. “I can finally tell more or less where each Holy Knight is!”
“How are we going to make them fight?” Eleven asked. “As soon as they see us they are going to attack us.”
“I wonder what is on that head of yours?” Two sighed. “We jumped on top of the trees before reaching them and the Fighting Tigers will continue running and come face to face with the Holy Knights.”
“Makes sense!” Twelve said. “You’re a genius, Two!!”
As they came closer to where the Magical Power was coming from, the trio was able to hear the voices of people. About fifty feet before reaching the Holy Knights the trio jumped on top of the trees and the Fighting Tigers kept running past them. The group of twenty Holy Knights were wearing their shining silver armor and their helmets had a violet feather on top of them. They each were equipped with a sword and a metal shield. They were chatting as they explored the dungeon. As soon as they felt the Magical Power of many monsters approaching them, they stopped on their tracks and looked back. After a few seconds, the Holy Knights could see the Fighting Tigers at the front of the horde.
“DAMN A BUNCH OF FIGHTING TIGERS!!” One of the Holy Knights yelled.
“AND THEY ARE BLACK BELTS!” Another Holy Knight said. “MAY THE GODDESS ORETO HELP US!!”
“EVERYONE GET READY!” The Holy Knight with the golden shield yelled. “WE NEED TO ELIMINATE THESE MONSTER IF WE WANT TO SURVIVE!”
The horde of Fighting Tigers started to head towards the Holy Knights. The Holy Knights readied their swords and shields. The Fighting Tigers at the front of the horde launched themselves at the Holy Knights. The Holy Knights blocked the attack with their shields and attacked back with their swords. The swords wounded the Fighting Tigers and started bleeding. The rest of the Fighting Tigers started attacking the Holy Knights and an epic battle between 20 Holy Knights and a hundred Fighting Tigers began. At first the Holy Knights had the upper hand thanks to their superior tactics and power. They used their swords and Elemental Magic to attack the Fighting Tigers while using their shields and casting barriers to defend from the attacks. As the battle dragged, the Holy Knights began to get tired and the Fighting Tigers began to deal serious damage. There were about 50 Fighting Tigers left and 16 Holy Knights left.
“It looks like your plan was a success, Two!” Twelve whispered.
“If I hadn’t done that, how would we have fought twenty Holy Knights?” Eleven asked.
“By sneaking and waiting for them to split into smaller groups and take on the smaller groups until we took care of all of them.” Two answered. “But that is not necessary anymore. Let’s wait here for the perfect moment to strike.”
The battle between the Holy Knights and the Fighting Tigers continued. The Holy Knights’ battle performance began to falter as they were being overwhelmed by the numbers of the Fighting Tigers. The Fighting Tigers began to inflict major injuries to the Holy Knights. After so many losses from both sides the forest’s floor was tainted in deep red and the area smelled like iron. Eventually the Holy Knights managed to wipe out the Fighting Tiger horde, but there were only nine Holy Knights left.
“DAMN IT!!” The Holy Knight with the golden shield shouted. “WE LOST ELEVEN PLATOON LEADERS!! How are we going to explain this to the captain!?”
“This doesn’t seem like a random unfortunate event!” A Holy Knight commented. “I think someone led the horde here.”
“But how can that happen?” Another Holy Knight asked. “This dungeon is inside the Temple of Oreto, so only Holy Knights, the Cardinals, and the Pope can access it.”
“HAHAHAHAHA! You buffoons have forgotten about us!” Twelve jumped from a tree down in front of the remaining Holy Knights. “I have been waiting for this day for a long time.”
“Same here!” Eleven said as he joined Twelve’s side. “I won’t forgive you!”
“It’s time you guys answered for your sins!” Two said as he jumped in front of Twelve and Eleven right in front of the Holy Knight with the golden shield. “You took away my wife and my best friend! I am here to take your lives!”
“LUNARIAN RANKERS!!” The Holy Knight with the golden shield was surprised and took a defensive stance. “You Otherworlders! I knew you were trouble. We should have never let you stay on Earth!!”
“This is for Mom and Dad!” Twelve said as she unsheathed her rapier and pointed to the Holy Knights.
“This will be your grave!” Eleven made two swords using his Fire Magic.
“You cannot escape! And you lack the energy to properly fight!” Two said as he took a fighting stance. “Pray to your Goddess for Salvation!!”
“We should have killed all the Otherworlders on that night!” The Holy Knight with the golden shield said as he raised his sword. “Let’s get ready! We must kill these Otherworlders! For the Goddess Oreto and for Pope Marcus!”
