The escape was super intense. The whole group had to fight back to escape from the guards. Thankfully, Lloyd and George had a severe advantage over all of the soldiers of the kingdom. Sharlan was reduced to a mere healer.
Eventually, they made it out of the kingdom and lost sight of the guards.
“We made it!”
“We lost them!”
“Let’s rest here for a bit”
“I think we should secure an emergency escape route before we rest in case they do manage to catch up to us.”
Assign that dialogue to any of the characters you want.
They were resting in an arbitrary place which is best described as “away from the capital.” Yes, that's right. The descriptions are so vague that even I don't know what the scene looks like yet. (I'm the author btw) But you know what they say, imagery should be done with pictures.
Then, they began a debate as to how far they should go for Sharlan’s sake.
“I swear! I didn’t kill the Queen!”
“But then why is the king so dead set on hunting you down?”
“Yeah, weren’t you his favorite? It doesn’t make sense for him to suddenly be so sure in this accusation unless there is valid reason!”
“But why would I kill the queen? What do I have to gain from that?” Sharlan was crying.
“Guys! We gotta hide! I sense a presence!” lamest line ever!
The group ran into a cave that they had planned to hide in beforehand and they started waiting it out. No one passed by. Then they heard screams lower down in the cave.
“Should we go check that out?”
“Yeah, probably. Solve the problem before it escalates.”
They headed down into the cave. The cave opened up into a huge cavern. Like imagine that one Minecraft mod from that one 1.6.2 Minecraft Mod pack: Hexxit and make one of those structures the basis for this entire scene. Yeah, that should be specific enough.
Anyway, now that I've basically provided the most non-obscure and detailed description of all time, let's move on to the events that were about to transpire at the location.
At the bottom of the ravine, there was a huge horde of monsters surrounding a small party of people who seemed to be of varying backgrounds based on the following dialogue.
“Dad, I’m scared.” cried the little girl who had her eyes shut.
“Don’t worry, when this is all over, we are going to live peacefully.” her supposed father set their death flag.
“Stay behind me. This is my last battle. After this, I’ll retire.” someone who looked like an adventurer was also trying to remove himself from the narrative.
“Teacher! I can’t fight with my arm broken!”
“Stand back, I’ll handle this one. I can’t put my students in danger.” I’m sure you know where this is going.
“Guys, we shouldn't ignore this situation.” said Bruh.
“I agree. I can’t do much right now but I can still heal anyone who gets hurt!”

The group quickly descended down and faced the enemies.
“This should be easy, it looks like that Ogre is the strongest monster. If we take it out, it shouldn’t be a problem.” claimed George.
“I’m sensing something strange.” said Lloyd.
“Stand back!” yelled the girl’s father. “These monsters have some kind of artifact!”
“It won’t be so easy to beat us!” yelled Lloyd and rushed in.
“ほう、 誰か俺たちの計画を邪魔しやがっているの?!” Preferably voiced by Takehito Koyasu (aka Dio)
“WHat!?” Lloyd stopped in his tracks.
The ogre turned its head and smirked. Then, it smashed its staff into Lloyd’s face (He tried blocking it with his arm). Rather than it being an ordinary attack that Lloyd could have brushed off with his crazy strength, there was an explosion that sent him flying.
“A speaking Ogre?!” Everyone was in awe and trembling after the event they just witnessed.
“Did you see what it just did to Lloyd?”
“How are we gonna beat that thing?”
George didn’t hesitate. Instead, he immediately rushed forward and tried grabbing the staff out of the Ogre’s hands.
“The staff probably works just like the RRR!” shouted Sharlan. “Don’t let it hit you!”
George tried to wrestle it out of the Ogre’s hands, but then the Ogre spoke again.
“Half a dozen - 1 忍び ”
“What?” The ground below George split open and he fell into the crevice.
The Ogre started repeating “Half a dozen …”
“Don’t let him finish!” yelled the little girl’s supposed father.
Sharlan threw the RRR in the Ogre’s face, stopping him from completing the incantation.
Bruh rushed at the Ogres and tackled him while George climbed out of the hole and got back into the action.
“...- 1” completed the Ogre while simultaneously swinging the staff into the ground. A huge explosion blew everyone away and when the smoke cleared there was a new wall in the cave and the Ogre was gone.
“Where’d he go?”
“He must be tunneling or something!”
“How is he doing that spell? I’ve never heard of a spell such as that and he doesn’t even have a wand!”
“Oh no! The monsters are closing in!”
“Keep fighting! I’ll heal anyone who’s hurt!”
*In a obstructed voice* “Half a dozen - 1” The ground opened up and an arm grabbed Sharlan’s leg. “I’ll go for the healer first then!”
“Masaka! That’s not something villains should be able to think of!” Yelled Sharlan while getting pulled into the ground. Noticing that Quinci was freeer than the others “Quinci! Cut my leg off!”
She complied and used her magic wand to send a wind blade and cut off Sharlan’s leg. He then rolled over and healed himself with the rock.
“You’re not getting away that easy!” roared the Ogre.
“Half a dozen - 1 忍び убьют змею. તેઓ vencerán al 兵馬俑.” Dopplered as the Ogre tunneled down.
“Oh no. He’s using some longer incantation!”
“Everyone brace yourself!”
Suddenly the mountain got Mosesed. In front of them was a one punch man -esque tunnel with the entire ocean towering above them.
“We’re gonna die!”
“Tsunami!”
“Guys! Don’t worry! I can use fire magic!” yelled the supposed father.
“What?”
“Ormr умножатся y the 妖精 сгорит. 轉世是不可能的” he yelled while running towards the swiftly approaching water wall of death.
“We’re all gonna die!”
Everyone was running away as fast as they could leaving everything behind. However, the moment that the vast wall of water made contact with the fatherfigure (FF from now on until I introduce him), the whole thing froze instantaneously. The great pressure placed on the newly established wall due to the already accelerated tsunami nearly shattered the wall. However, FF quickly recast the spell and overpowered the water thus saving everyone.
The Ogre didn’t give up however. He ran up to the wall and tried smashing the staff on the wall to break the dam. However, Lloyd was back and saved the day.
“You caught me off guard last time. But not this time, you beast!” he said while crushing the Ogre’s skull with one hand.
The gang finally fought off the rest of the beasts and then conversed.
“Who are you!? How can you use magic like that Ogre?!” communal question directed at FF.
“It seems I have no other choice but to breach the contract now. Considering you all are using wands, we’ve probably all already been discovered.” said FF
“What are you talking about? What’s going on?”
“I’d like to explain everything but first you all need to dispose of your wands and we’ve got to run!” while saying that he reached forward and incinerated Lloyd’s super expensive, top of the line, highest grade magic wand with a touch of his fingers.
“What! Why’d you do that!” they started to try and stop him but
“Trust me! I saved you from the Tsunami! Believe me that this is in your best interest!”
“You haven’t even said who you are and you’ve destroyed my most powerful weapon right off of the bat! Clearly you’re trying to level the playing field here in preparation for a fight against us!”
“You’ve got it wrong! My name is…” Suddenly the sound reminiscent of a helicopter was heard in the distance.
“We’ve gotta run! The association is after us now! Destroy your wands and magic gear or they’ll be able to track us!”
Shooo! A quick object heading towards them appeared in the sky. Sharlan’s Int Factor screamed “Guys. Trust him!” which he spoke as well.
The gang being as loyal as they are to the main character, immediately followed along after sensing the urgency in Sharlan’s voice.
“Fine. But you better not turn against us! If you do, we’ll kill you instantly! George, hold him by the neck and be ready to act if he does anything suspicious!” said Lloyd while forcefully separating everyone from their magic wands and gear. George followed the instructions.
Holding FF hostage and exposing themselves to danger as well, the group quickly ran into the forest while leaving behind all of their magic gear.
“That better have been worth the risk! Now spill it!” said Lloyd after they made it to what looked like a safe place.
“My name is Edi Bel Gorg’. I’m just going to tell you directly. The Guild is ruled by a secret underground society called the Aso. What you know as magic is not real magic.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“There is no such thing as mana.”
