Wood Knight- RAAA!! RAAAAAAAAAAA!!
Ethan dodges there strikes and cut down by bypassing there sword while the shield Wood Knight blocks Ethan strikes and force him back with telekinesis push from the shield after Ethan struck it.
Ethan [Thoughts]- Ah!! Dam it. That Black Knight didn't just increase there Aura but there Wind Element as well. They've also become more aggressive as well. I'm going to have to strike them down fast then. I'm still in no condition to have drawn out fights.
The Wood Knight charged in to strike Ethan as he quickly recovered dodging his sword swing by leaping over him. And cutting down wood knight but as Ethan turns around the Black Knights already Infront of him with blinding speed. Gripping his giant sword and does an overhead strike. Ethan leaps back dodging the sword strike but once it hits the ground launches Ethan back with Telekinesis Wind Wave that cuts up Ethan clothes and leaving light cuts.
Ethan- AHHH!! A Wind Wave! Great more Alchemy Monsters I need to worry about. HU!!
The Black Knight leaped at him Ethan uses Telekinesis blast launching him out of the way. Slamming into the where Ethan was meant to be and leaves a small crater where he was. Ethan lands on his feet but he's not given time as the Black Knight keeps on the attack.
Ethan [Thoughts]- UHHHH! If only my wounds was healed this Tin Can would be Light up like a Lightning Rod!
As the Knight got in close Ethan block each strike but was being pushed back. Ethan feels pain gripping the sword defending against the strikes. While blocking Ethan stiches opens up causing blood to drip from his hand.
Ethan- AHHHH!! Dam you!
Ethan pushes the Black Knight back with telekinesis blast but it just slides him back a few feet not stopping his attack. Ethan try's to hold off but gets his sword nocked out of his hands. The Wind Strike gives Ethan deeper cuts and slams Ethan into Tree. Before Ethan could get up the Black Knight ready to kill Ethan with a power strike. Ethan unleashes Blue Lightning from his hands in panic but the knight unfazed and caused his hands to bleed more.

Nova- I knew I should have stopped you from coming out here in your condition. Also call me Purple when I'm in uniform!
Ethan- Why after the Inquisitor attack you where identity was revealed.
Nova- Ya. But no one knows yours. At least not yet.
Nova helps Ethan up then notice his bleeding hands began yelling at him angry seeing him hurt.
Ethan- AHHHH!! Careful there! AHHHHH!!
Nova gripped Ethan hand tighter causing him more pain.
Nova- The Hell Ethie! Helen told you not to use your lightning and look at what it did to you!!
Ethan- I'm fine only a few stiches ripped.
Nova pulls out a medic bag from her Ranger backpack. And pulls out needle thread and stapler. Ethan looked at Nova scared with the creepy look she was giving.
Nova- No your not so come here! Would you like stiches or staples.
Ethan- Like I trust you doing that! Also where did you learn medicine? AHHHHH!!!
Nova still had Ethan hand in tight grip. While removing bandages an poring hydrogen peroxide on his hand.
Nova- Simple from Fiona. So Staples or Needle and Thread!
Ethan- AHHH! Staples! Just please make it quick!
Nova- Ha ha. Sure thing Cousin.
Ethan- Ahh. Gulp! . . AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
Nova played with stapler by clicking it a few times scaring Ethan causing him to look away. Before opening it up and placing it on the wound and pressing it against wound. The screen changes to sky as Ethan let's out a scream in pain. The screen changes to Tanis and Phara ring the door bell at Ethan home. Helen opens the door happy to see them. Tanis is holding a copy of Ethan Journal.
Helen- Coming! Ow Hello there Phara and Tanis. What's up.
Phara- Ha ha. Nothing but sky Miss Helen. Ha ha ha.
Helen- Ha ha. Good one Phara. But I'm sorry Ethan not home and wont be back till tonight.

Tanis- Actually we came to tell you something Winnie took something the last time she stayed. So um can we come inside.
Helen looked confused but notice the book in Tanis hand. She smiled at them that scared them even though she didn't mean it to be like that.
Helen- Of course. Come on in. I can't wait to hear what you have to say.

As they enter the screen changes to the Comic Shop where Eric and Bliss trying to get some walk byers.
Eric- Come one and all. Join the Minutemen! And up hold our great Constitutional Republic!
Winnie- How about me Minute-Boy can I join. Or is it because I'm with an Empire. I'm not allowed.
People just walked by some soldiers on watch just laugh. But that when they where al on guard as Winnie spoke up. A few people watch but Eric just smiled acting kind.
Eric- Of course. As long as your willing to defend the United States Republic from any threats including your own Empire.
Winnie evilly grins at Eric response but before she could say anything Wendy appears next to Winnie mad at her.
Wendy [Thoughts]- What the Hell are you doing!? You know how stubborn the Minutemen are!
Winnie [Thoughts]- Ow Wendy. Didn't I tell you to go away before I turn you into a Werewolf Flambe!!
Wendy [Thoughts]- Flambe or not! Threating the Minutemen is a death wish unless you forget about the Werewolf Killer who leads them.
Winnie [Thoughts]- I know that so shut up so I can deal with this.
This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.
Winnie [Clear Throat]- Sorry I don't want to lose my head for joining you. But I would like to talk about our friend Ethan. Or should I call him an Ex-Minutemen.
Wendy [Thoughts]- Winnie! Please stop talking and acting like a jerk! I don't want to made into a fur coat!!!
Winnie didn't listen as she sat down at the chair across the table from them. Eric looked mad at Winnie but Bliss just smiled being kind and salute Winnie and put her hand for a handshake.
Bliss- Ow. Your one of his new monster friends. It's nice to meet you I'm Bliss and that Eric.
Winnie Shaked her hand her hand tight but she was unfazed.
Winnie- Nice to meet you I'm Winnie. And it's nice to know there one kind Minutemen here.
Eric- Grr. Enough playing Werewolf. What do you want with Ethan!? Are you planning to eat him like what you did to use when your Empire invaded us.
Bliss- Eric! Calm yourself that's was uncalled for and rude!
Bliss looked at Eric in his eyes. As she blinks it changes her eyes Black and Dark Green and gave off Dark Aura. This surprised Winnie and decided to change subject.
Winnie [Thoughts]- What!? That Dark Aura like Ethan but it feels more twisted. I better do something before things get out of hand.
Wendy [Thoughts]- You think! I told you not to push it!!
Winnie- No it's ok Bliss. I read about the Gateway War. It was horrible what we did to each other. But I'm here to now more about Ethan because I'm worried about him.
Eric look surprised and lean back in the chair and relaxed while thinking. Bliss eyes returned to normal surprised.
Bliss- Why is he alright?
Winnie- I don't know. That's why I'm here. So can ask you a few questions about him being a Minutemen?
Bliss looks over at Eric lost in thought.
Eric [Thoughts]- Hmm. What's she planning. Or does she really care about Ethan.
That when Bliss voice appeared in Eric thoughts.
Bliss [Thoughts]- I think she does Eric. Considering all we where told about her from General. Besides all that information is public.
Eric- I know that. I just thing on if we can get some information out of here on what has happen to Ethan while here.
Eric continue to thing as Winnie waited for there response.
Wendy [Thoughts]- Pew. Nice work Winnie. I thought he was going to deck you one.
Winnie [Thoughts]- Of course I'm not dumb Wendy. And be quit I'm waiting for there response.
Wendy [Thoughts]- Ha. I don't think there allow you to know anything about our Ethie. Those minute nuts only care about themselves. And. AHH! AHHHH!!
Winnie grabs Wendy tail and began to choke her with telekinesis. She struggled in pain before Winnie snaps her fingers catching her tail on fire. Then lets Wendy go as she runs around looking for water. Eric and Bliss look at Winnie confused but he said nothing still thinking. Winnie notice them staring at her she does a cheap smile.
Winnie [Thoughts]- Wendy I warned you to be quit!
Wendy [Thoughts]- AHHHHHHH!! You stupid Luna! Listen to my advice for once!! AHHHHH!!!
Bliss [Thoughts]- HU!? What was that about?
Wendy ran around and jumps into street gutter with water in it and put out the fire on her tail.
Wendy [Thoughts]- AHHHHHHHH. . . That's feel good. But like I was saying there's no way they would answer to our race. After we killed so many of them inferior race.
Eric- Alright I'll answer your questions about Ethan but on one condition. You answer a few questions I have for you.
Winnie and Wendy was surprised.
Wendy [Thoughts]- Hu!? What!?
Wendy mouth drops hitting the sidewalk Winnie get a chuckle from that before responding.
Winnie- Ha. Sure as long as it has nothing to do with my father the Werewolf Council and The Monster Realm.
Eric- That's fine by me. So I'll go first. What do you see Ethan as?
Winnie smiles as the screen changes to the Dark Forest with Ethan and Nova walking down dirt path headed up the Mountain. Ethan getting a chills through his body while rubbing his hand in pain. Covered in new bandages. Nova was in her day clothes and looked relaxed.
Ethan [Thoughts]- AHHHH!! . . . What was that cold feeling!?
Nova- Stop rubbing your hands before you tear the staples out!
Ethan- It's still sore! I mean really you weren't gentle you know!
Nova- And why should I be. You where warned about your stitches. Incase you forgot.
Ethan- I didn't. I just panicked. And I haven't fully recovered yet.
Nova [Thoughts]- AHHH!! Cousin why can't you think before doing something stupid. Hu.
Ethan looked upset and lost in thought remembering his fight with Revolta Inquisitor and the Werewolf Slavers. Nova notices this and wraps her hand around his neck.
Nova- Uh! Ok Cousin what's up.
Ethan- Uh!? What do you mean?
Nova- Come on. Was it those Monster Girls. Ah!! Was it that Werewolf. Did she hurt you!
Ethan- No none of them have done that. I just have a lot on my mind ever since I got these wounds. I'm starting to think all I'm doing is getting in you and the Monster Girls way.
Nova- Ow come on don't think that. You defeated those Werewolf Slaver.
Ethan- Ya. But that was mostly using True Alpha Aura. Not my own.
Nova- Ok then. Do you remember the week before Halloween when you first helped us defend Muddy Creek from that Undead Pumpkin Knight and his Plant Zombies.
Ethan has a flash back to a Pumpkin head Knight using a sword and shield. He was leading undead he resurrected from the graveyard using some type of Vine dug into there spins forming knight like armor and allowing it to control them. They where able to use swords, shields, Spears and Crossbows. The Rangers manage to beat him and I saved the town with the Monster Girls stopping the undead Plant Knight Zombies from destroying the town.
[Pumpkin Knight Description- Has a Dark Orange an Evil eyes and smile. Eyes are Dark Red Dots. Wears Dark Green Knight Armor made of Wood. His weapons are knight sword that burns a Black and Cracked Dark Green Blade. Cross-Guard is Dark Silver with Black and cracked Dark Green Crystal. The Grip is Black Leather and Pommel is cracked pumpkin with skull in it with Dark Red crystal Dots as eyes].
Ethan- Ha ya. That was great fight. If it wasn't for Winnie father kicking my but a week later though.
Nova- Ow right I forgot about that. Ha ha.
Ethan- Anyways why did you follow me. Worried about your little Cousin.
Nova- UH!! No. It was your injury's. Also Eric and Bliss asked me to tag along with you because they where worried. After the Military has failed to hunt down Revolta along with ambush's from her Alchemy Monsters and The Holly Knights. Also the darkness and thickness of the Dark Forest makes it a nightmare to find them.
Ethan- Really!? Also the Holly Knights are causing them problems to!?
Nova- Yep. It was a terrible week for us helping the Military to hold this area. But where luck the attacks have slowed down.
Ethan- Well that's good. But I don't understand how with all that advance Technology our military has they can't find them.
Nova- Well technology struggles against the Aura from the forest here. Jamming many sensers. Also it's best to know where your enemy is. Otherwise fights will drag on. I thgought you wouyld know that Minute-Boy.
Ethan- Uh. Ya. That make sense. They've all manage to remain hidden this long. So they must be good at doing that. HU!? What the hell happen here!?!
They both stop and surprised seeing dead burned USA Soldiers and Wood Knights on the road. Along with Burning HUMVEEs. As Dark Red and Dark Brown Leather Hooded Assassins are in the tree's there sort swords at the ready to attack Ethan and Nova down bellow.
Ethan- Um! Nova.
Nova- Ya. I sense them.
As they leap at them they pull out there M-18 Pistols at shoot at the Assassin's while leaping out of the way dodging there sword strikes. But the Assassin's manage to block each of there shots. Once they land there body burst into Dark Red Flames with there sword and they charges at Ethan and Nova.
Ethan- You got to be kidding me more Elemental Alchemy Monsters!
Nova- No! These are Holly Knight Assassin's. There responsible for most of the ambush problems!
Holly Knight Assassin- Death to Freedom Fighter and those who serve the Monsters!!
Nova and Ethan unloads there pistols but they manage to dodge and block each shot.
Ethan [Thoughts]- Dam it I knew I shouldn't have gone to see Mark with this going on in the Forest. WO!!
Ethan leaps back and slams into a tree cornering him. Ethan manages to draw his Moon sword and blocks the Knight strike while pushing the Assassin's away with Telekinesis Blast. But Ethan ducks as another Assassin cuts through the Tree Behind Ethan. As more Wooden Thief's dropped from the tree's around them.
Nova [Thoughts]- Ow no. This isn't good. Ethan wont last long with those injury's. I need to save him.
Nova- Hang on Cousin! I'm a Freedom Fighter Ranger and I'm never afraid of Danger! Purple Ranger Zada!!
Nova Purple Ranger Armor appears on her she yanks out her Mace and smash through the Assassin Sword shattering it smashes his skull as two more attack her from behind. Nova grips the dead Assassin with telekinesis and slams him into one of the Assassin's. And leaps up and cuts the other Assassin's in two killing him. When she lands she runs to help Ethan while gripping her mace tight with both hands and smash through one Assassin's after another. But Ethan struggles while dodging and defending against Five Assassin's Fireball and Sword Strikes.
Ethan [Thoughts]- Dam it. I can't use my Wind Aura or it will increase there Fire. And after that last fight I can't keep this up for long. HU!
Holly Knight Assassin- Holly Fireball!
Ethan- AHHH!!
One of the Assassin manage to strike Ethan jacket catching it on fire. He manages to telekinesis wave push back the Assassin's. Ethan toss the Jacket off and gripped his sword tight with both hands. The Thief's body burned bright with fire. Do to Ethan telekinesis blast mixed with Wind Aura.
Ethan- AHHHH! That was my favorite Jacket!
Nova- Ethan Look out!!
Ethan [Thoughts]- UH!! Ow great they manage to surround me. What do I do my Wind Blast increased there Fire and my Lightning will rip open my stiches again.
Nova- Cousin! No!
The Assassin's managed to surround Ethan and was about to attack him at the same time. But before they could strike Ethan a voice called out to him.
Ostrava- Ethan Duck!
Ethan ducks down as Ostrava shield bounces off tree and curved cutting the Three Assassin's head off Infront of them.
Ostrava- Burn Sinners! Golden Werewolf Flame Strike!!
As Ostrava kills the last two Assassin's striking them from behind with blinding speed and slides beside Ethan catching his shield after bouncing off a nearby tree. The Assassin's Body's burn to ash.
Ostrava- HA HA! Sorry I'm late Ethan. I was aided some of American Knights on the way here. But might I ask why you rout here. Since you haven't recovered yet.
Ethan- Well I forgot to pay Mark a visit and thought I could drop by and see him.
Ostrava- That's sound like a dumb idea. Considering all that been going on since the attacks you know. And next time ask Miss Grim Girls or even the Rangers to help to meet Mark. They all can contact them you now.
Ethan- Duh. Ya well I didn't know. I guess my plan was really dumb. UHF!!
Nova- Ethie!! Thank God your alight!
That when Nova grab Ethan in a tight hug Ethan was in pain will Ostrava looked confused.
Ethan- Cousin your crushing me again! Please let me go!
Nova- Ow sorry. Ha ha.
Ostrava- Ow Miss Nova. It's nice to see you again.
Ethan- Hu!? You met Ostrava!?
Nova- Uh hu. After the Werewolf Slave incident General Walter had us meet with Ostrava and the others. They assisted us taking out the remaining Slave Hideouts. And I gave a call out here we where headed out here to see Mark.
Ostrava- It was an Honor to bring those traitors to the Werewolf Empire to Justice with you Ranger. And yes I was informed you where headed here. My only regrets I was unable to save these fellow knights.
Ostrava holds his shield across his chest and held his sword straight up in a salute.
Nova- Ha. No need for that. So where is tall dark Merchant at?
Ostrava- Ah! Yes. Mark wanted to meet with Ethan. He's held up in an old Minutemen base built into mountain cave. The US Military set up a base there to continue the search for Witch of the Dark Forest and Leader of the Holly Knights. So come quickly I'll lead the way!
Ostrava Ethan and Nova took off up the hill. Ethan remember William speech and him being put in charge of US Military and him being responsible for mission that killed his father.
Ethan- Ostrava.
Ostrava- Yes Ethan?
Ethan- I was wondering if a General by the name of William.
Nova [Thoughts]- Ow great I forgot about William and how much Ethan hates him for getting his father killed.
Ostrava- Yes. He's leading the search. Also please control your emotions. Nova told me about what he did with your father. I'm terrible sorry about that.
Ethan- It's not your fault. And don't worry I have no interest in speaking to him. But it best he doesn't know who I am.
Ethan changes into his Warlock Armor as the screen changes to Military Base near the cave. The base had Tents basic buildings and radio tower. Inside the building where William talking to the President through computer screen.
William- Yes mister President. We are having trouble with ambushes from the Witch and Holly Knights. We've almost discovered where the Holly Knights are hiding but Revolta we don't have a clue.
Taylor [President]- UHH! Hiding these events are becoming harder and harder General William. I'll send more supply's and soldiers. As such have you find out the identity of the Warlock of Muddy Creek.
William- Hmm. There been a few names but I'm still looking into it. I will send you a few names. As for the Werewolf's they've kept there agreement so far. Along with aid us in our search.
Taylor [President]- Good. Continue the search and if you find anything else report it to me immediately.
William- I will Mister President.
After the President disappears from the screen a USA Soldier walked in.
USA Soldier- General. Ostrava Nova and Warlock have past one of our checkpoints and head here to speak with Mark sir.
William- Hmm. So Warlock headed here. Alright then. Soldier bring them to me. I would like to speak to this them.
USA Soldier- Right away sir.
After the soldier left William takes out a cigar and began to smoke and look over at a picture of Soldiers with Ethan mother and father on it.
William [Thoughts]- Ah. Johnny old Friend. Let us see if this Warlock is your son. And he can success where you failed.
As he blows out smoke from his cigar at the picture the screen fades to black.
