3. Holding the Gateway.

Screen opens to a missive Black Castle built into the mountain. The Castle broken into Five parts. There are dragons flying over the castle. Screen pulls in on the court house. Screen changes to inside where each monster like Monsters holds a seat with a Dark Elf sitting in a Kings thrown.

[Monsters- Werewolf, Vampire Lord, Half Animal and Human, Dragon Kin, Orcs, Goblins, ogre ].

Richard [Dark Elf Knight and Head of the Court]- My lord the entire army we sent to the other world has been defeated. We've lost 40% of our entire army. We need to respond to this defeat. Your people what's to now what is the plan moving forward from here.

Malic [King]- We are integrating the citizens we have captured to better understand there military. So we can regroup and defeat them.

Vamp [Vampire Lord]- Lady Thana have seen how deadly these Humans are. We must strike them before they build a kingdom on our land.

Tore [Werewolf]- Then we must rebuild are army. Let us use our back up reserves and rebuild our army.

Shone [Ogre]- That's insane Werewolf. That's incase another famine hits. And if we rebuild our army and a famine or plague hit where be in worse position then before!

The room erupted in argument. But the king grips his staff hard and slams it on the ground that unleashes a a dark fog energy that light blast everyone with wind. This gets everyone attention.

Malic- Now arguing wont solve anything. Send messages to all our enemy's and Allies. We must push these invaders back and we need to do it now. Standing together we shall prevail as one.

The room clapped at the king response. But Richard walks next to the king.

Richard- My king if we send another army out there not prepared. I'm afraid it will only lead to further death and despair.

The king just smiles as the screen changes to multilabel army's gathering near the swamps. A Were-Bear King in his human form on his horse. with two of his Warrior guards in Dark Silver full body armor also on horse back next to him. Until one of his men rides up next to him.

Warrior- Sir there a metal dragon watching us not far from here, Should we send our dragons after them.

Bolden- Hm. No there to far to pose a threat to us. If they come close enough where deal with them. But for now lets make haste. The other nations are waiting for us.

Bolden takes off on his horse catching up to rest of his army as the screen changes to a camp sight inside the swamps near the Gateway. The screen goes inside a main tent. There five other leaders in the tent.

Bolden- Say what!? Where the rest of the Malic Army? They should be here with us discussing an attack plan.

Cat-Re [Cat-people]- Ya. Where not going to stick out our necks if he's not going to show up.

Guard [High Elf]- Forgive me but our king already leading a counter attack against them on the other side of the swamp.

Bolder- I don't believe you. My scouts haven't seen any forces near the swamps. Just Infront of the Gateway.

Guard- It is the truth King Bolden. We will join you once we reorganize. And the King will be there.

Cat-Re-He better or where pulling out. I'm not killing my army for his means to an end.

Guard- I assure you Empress Cat-Re. He will be there. Now I must go and rejoin them. Remember your oath and he will aid you.

After the Guard left the tent the Dark Elf steps forward.

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

Decay [Dark Elf]- He's hiding something I can sense it in my bones.

Boll-Rog [Ogre]- Come now Decay and Cat-Re. King Malic has always kept his word with us. Why should we think other wise.

Don-Go [ Dragon-Kin]- I agree with Boll-Rog he's been good to all of us and helped us against the humans in the North. We must defend our lands.

Bolder- I agree. So let's come up with a proper plan of attack. Agreed.

All- Agreed.

Screen changes to Henry on look out with Tucker going through playing cards.

Tucker- It's hard to believe right Henry.

Henry- What do you mean Tuck.

Tucker- I'm talking about the attacking army we wiped out a while back. Who just force there entire army charge in against long range units.

Henry- Well it seems they follow some type of Royal or Knight code.

Tucker- You mean like the Soviets or the Japanese's during WW2.

Henry- Kind off. Remember this is before nukes and city destroying bombs.

That's when the radio goes off.

Soldier [Radio]- Attention drone spot movement through the swamps get ready for another attack.

Tucker- Well here we going.

Tucker loads his M-4 Rifle. And took seat next to him.

Henry- Don't get cocky we still don't know what they can do.

Screen changes to King Bolden stepping out of his tent.

Bolden- Hmm. I guess it's time to join the rest of the kings.

One of his guard runs up and kneel before the king.

Guard- My king. King Boll-Rog has left with his men of 500,000. To attack the Gateway.

Bolden- That's good news. But where are King Malic and his knights.

Guard- That's the problem my king. There no wear to be seen.

Bolden [Worried]- Say what!?

Screen changes to King Don-Go leading the army and walking past barbwire set up with sign's saying danger keep away. As they made there way towards the gateway Don-Go was looking around for the Malic army but there was none. The dragons fly out of the Forest behind them.

Don-Go [Thoughts]- No he couldn't have abandon us. UH!? What the?

That when Mortars and tanks open fires at Don-Go army. This kills small amount of his men. But he's not going to give up.

Don-Go- On word men! Charge!

As all of Don-Go knights charge as gun fire erupts from the mountain. Killing all his knights before they could get close. There giants get blasted by tank rounds. While Wizards shields brake under the fire. Don-Go Horse get shot down. He rolls to the ground.

Gon-Go [Thoughts]- This can't be happening. UH! We have been betrayed.

As he get up mortars strike him ripping him to shreds killing him.

Gon-Go- Avenge me King Bolder.

Screen changes to Bolden running to the other kings and watches Gon-Go and his men killed in one giant fire ball assault. As survivors retreat.

Bolder [Thoughts]- GRR! That Bastard. We been tricked.

The others now notice Bolder anger his eyes change Dark Red and Black.

Bolder- Back to base now!

Screen changes back to Henry who surprised to see the giant army retreat.

Henry [Radio]- HM!? Hold fire! There over the line!

Tucker- What's up Henry? I can tell your lost in your thoughts again.

Henry- The last army fight us till the last person standing. But this army retreats. Also they all appear to have different flags.

Tucker- Hm. Your right. Maybe there payed mercenaries.

Henry- Could be. But right now we just need to hold here until general calls us up.

Tucker- Ha. You can say that again.

Screen changes back to the tent where the surviving four kings meet.

Cat-Re- I told you all we where being played. And I bet the other Gateways are having the same problems.

Bolder- Now's not the time to worry about that Cat-Re. The question is what do we do now.

Decay- I say we leave back to our own kingdoms and cut any talks with King Malic. And focus on preparing our knights for these invaders. And leave some spy's to gather intel on these humans.

Cat-Re- I agree this was all a trap by him. So are army's will be weaken enough to defeat.

Bolder- I agree. We must avenge our self's. But also prepare for these new invaders. So I suggest an alliance. Unless anyone opposes.

The room fell silent.

Bolder- Then it is done. We will contact each other through a private messengers. Until then we remain silent and fake our deaths. If the king thinks where all dead then thing will go smoother.

Decay- Yes. And I also suggest we have some of our knight dress as bandits and attack the kings weak kingdoms. Have them ram shacked of there resources. It will help cover up what happened.

Bolder- Ha. Good idea Decay. Now since that do we better make haste Before his spy's discovers our plans.

As they shake there head to leave the screen changes to King Malic and Richard head of the Courts.

Richard- My king it would seem the Kings of our former allies nations have been killed.

Malic- Such a same. Send in our bandits. Burn there farms and move there animals towards our kingdom. And do the same to the farms around the Gateway.

Richard- Ah! So that was your plan. To make sure they will need our help to defeat these invaders. Great idea my kind. But I have one problem about this.

Malic- And that would be my knight?

Richard- Well your oldest son been gaining supporting in the court. And he might end up replacing you in a vote.

Malic- Ha Ha Ha Ha. Good luck with that. Remember it was the Courts who voted for this plan. And unless they want to lose there support there keep there mouths shut. Now go we have much to get done.

Richard- Of course my king.

Richard bowed and left as the king evil smiled as the screen fades to black.

End Holding the Gateway.
