it was early morning when Ray woke up. He woke up early to get ready for his first day at the University. Ray woke up considerably early, so he decided to watch the Square One channel.

"Hello everyone! Today we bring you breaking news, war has finally ended!" Tom said

"It sure has ended! But it was quite anti climatic don't you think Tom?" Mary asked

"What do you mean Mary?"

"Well, no one really won the war"

"Well it was quite understandable, both sides ran out of resources and manpower to go on any longer, and they themselves would be to blame" Tom said with an aggressive look to his face.

"Why do you say that?" Mary asked with a confused expression

"Well, it is quite understandable that things turned out this way. Its because its the very first war and people got too excited, if the players just had thought things through, the war might have lasted a bit more longer."

"I see, but that does not matter now does it?" Mary asked

"It sure doesn't, all that matters now is that the war finally ended and we can now relax and be at peace." Tom said while leaning back on his chair

"Thats right Tom!" Mary said while laughing.

"Well anyways! We will now show our viewers the top contributors in Chronos!" Tom said now sitting straight.

A window had appeared in the screen, it was just like the game window

TOP CONTRIBUTORS IN CHRONOSGuildsPlayersTop Contributor- Phoenix Reborn

Second- Midnight Aura

Third- Chronos Brigade

Fourth-Good Guy People

Fifth- Free Wing Mercenary

Etc . .Top Contributor- Blaze

Second-Good Guy Gabe

Third-Genesis

Fourth- Evergreen

Fifth- Evan

Etc . . .

Tenth- Scout

"Sure is an interesting table, I understand how Phoenix Reborn got top stop and also their guild leader Blaze got top spot too, but how come Good Guy Gabe got second when his guild was only fourth?" Mary asked Tom

"Well thats easy, A guilds contribution doesn't really equal the guild leader's contribution. Of course the guild leader gets a good amount of contribution points because of the guild, but individual actions help too, as we can see form this list, some of the players on the list are not in any of the top guilds."

"I see that makes sense, also how about that Free Wing Mercenary?" Mary once more asked

"Yes, that to me is baffling too, according to our reports they are a small guild that recently just got created, they were also the first guild to register, which still remains a mystery on how they did it."

"But they are in the top contributors so does that mean that they did good?"

"Yes that does mean that they did good" Tom said

"Now we move on over to the Isris top contributors!"

Ray turned off the TV, it wasn't relevant information for him and he was about to leave for School.

Ray was not sure if the 10th place was him, he had died before the war had officially ended, and he did not care.

Ray left for school, he left his doorstep and began walking. Along the way Ray was reminiscing about the events that unfolded yesterday.

12 pm game time :

The Free Wing Mercenaries had just finished celebrating their reunion, now they were focused at the task at hand, they were now drawing closer and closer towards the enemy stronghold. They were about to leave to take another keep but someone else came to their doorsteps.

"EMERGENCY! I need to speak to the leader of this castle now!" A Chronos soldier shouted while entering the castle gates.

Evan then stood up and approached the Chronos soldier.

"What is the problem?"

"An enemy force has been spotted, they are headed towards our stronghold" The soldier said in a panic.

"How is this a concern for us?" Evan asked while scratching his forehead.

"It's the entire remaining forces of the Isris. They have about 5000 strong people marching towards our stronghold. Our general has ordered you to assist at once, other forces filled with adventurers like you have been recalled."

"I see an all out attack, all or nothing, how many people do we have left?" Evan asked once more

"Our stronghold has around 2000 people defending it, and a few guilds should be there already totaling around 3700 people, we are outnumbered, thats why we need everyones help." The guard said with a panicked expression.

"Thats understandable, very well, we will aid our kingdom!" Evan stated with a smile.

"Thank you very much! We await your assistance! Now I must be off, there are more people that I need to find!" The guard said and left.

Evan then walked up to his confused guild mates and said.

"Change of plan! We are going back to defend our stronghold!" Evan stated while raising up his sword.

"Whats the problem?" Hiro walked up to Evan and asked.

"The Isris has decided to gather all their people and do an all out attack, they have at least 5000 strong and our defenses might not hold up, we move out now!"

The Free Wing Mercenary had started moving back towards their stronghold, it was at least a 3 hour march. They could have cut the time by more than half if they had horses, but they were a small guild, getting horses would be a bit too much for them.

As they marched they were 30 minutes away, Evan had decided to let them rest before moving on.

"Everyone stop! We will take a short break here! No use sending ourselves to our deaths by being tired headed directly to combat." Evan shouted halting all his troops.

"But wouldn't we be too late?" Hiro asked

"No we won't, chances are the battle had just begun a few hours ago, I'm sure the stronghold will hold for at least half a day more, we will rest for an hour, after that no more!"

Everyone started to take a rest. Cooks had begun cooking food that would slightly boost their stats. They drank their water, replenishing their energy, they were sharpening their weapons, they were preparing for war, soon, 300 strong people were gonna be fighting with 5000 strong.

An hour had passed and everyone was all hyped up and ready to go. They had started marching towards their stronghold, the path they took was over a small hill overlooking the entire battlefield, what they saw was amazing and yet terrifying at the same time.

This was what war actually looked like, two waves crashing at each other, and in between only death awaits.

The hill that overlooked the whole place was to the right of the entire battlefield. The battlefield was divided into three separate fights, the ones fighting in the middle, the one that were fighting on the right side, and the ones fighting on the left side. The fight seemed evenly matched, but the tide soon turned towards the Isris side. The right side was now pushing their forces towards the stronghold

As the Isris forces was about to overwhelm the right side of the Chronos soldiers, a rumble could be heard from behind them, at first they only saw one person, then two, then three, the next thing they know, 300 people were coming out of the hills! It was the Free Wing Mercenary! They were running towards them, at first glance it looked like a reckless charge, but they had planned it well. Once they had gotten to flat ground it was visible, they were in a triangular shape, it was a wedge formation, they had the heavy armored men all up front, while the lighter armored ones in the middle. But that wasn't all, magic and arrows came raining down from the hills above. At least 100 people consisting of mages and archers at the top of the hill giving support.

One by one, Isris soldiers were falling down just from the archers and mages. Then the Free Wing Mercenary wedge formation had hit them.

*CLASH*

Instantly breaking apart their defenses straight through the middle. The Free Wing Mercenary's goal was the right side's leader.

They were successful in breaking the defenses but they were still a good distance apart from the enemy leader. As the wedge formation hit the Isris soldiers. The Shadow Wings had gone into action, they were right in the middle of the wedge so they had the least damage taken and the most energy to spend. Once they were in the middle of the fight, they all jumped out from the middle and started killing enemies with their precise strikes and fast movements. Their actions had eased the burden for the rest of the Free Wing Mercenary's.

The Free Wing mercenary had come to a full stop, they were completely stopped from their tracks, they were now right in the middle, they were surrounded in all sides.

"EVAN! We are in trouble! We can't hold out much longer like this!" Hiro shouted while fighting some soldiers

"I know! We must hold on! There is nothing else we can do" Evan shouted while slashing enemies.

"NO, There is one thing we can do! But you will not like it . . . " Hiro shouted

"What are you talking about?" Evan asked

"You know what I'm talking about!" Hiro retorted

"No, never! I will not leave people behind" Evan shouted furious

"It's the only way EVAN! This is not the time to be a hero! This is war Evan! We need to be successful in order for our guild to survive!"

"DAMNIT! FINE! Hiro gather up all the people that are capable of moving!" Evan shouted still mad.

A few minutes had passed and 100 capable people have gathered.

"I will take these 100 people and push towards the enemy commander. I hope you all survive!" Evan said with tears in his eyes.

"We will await your victory Evan" A wounded member said.

"Do our guild proud!" Another one shouted.

"GOOD LUCK!" Another one cheered

"Thank you all! We will come back victorious, Hiro, I entrust these good men to you!" Evan said

"Will do, now go out there and show them what we are capable of." Hiro said

The 200 remaining Free Wing Mercenary members were now split into two groups, the wounded and the ones that are capable of moving forth. They were now going to be separated, one group would push towards the enemy commander, while the other group stay in their position.

Just as Evan was about to charge towards the enemy commander a shadow flew past him. It was Silhouette

"Leader Evan, I will take my members and weaken the enemy defenses, take that chance and charge straight through, most of my people are still capable of moving." Silhouette said.

"NO! Your members will die if you charge on ahead!" Evan shouted

"We know the risks, this is our task, we were made for things like these. We will go now, prepare to charge on through. Shadow Wings! You know what to do! Lets go!" Silhouette shouted while already charging straight through the enemy.

"WAIT! NO! DAMNIT!" Evan shouted

"Evan, don't let their efforts be in vain! Go and claim our victory!" Hiro said while fighting enemy forces.

The Shadow Wings started jump out from the middle and started engaging the enemy, they would strike a single enemy once just to put them out of balance. The Shadow Wing's goal was not to kill enemies, but to break the enemies defenses just enough for the Free Wing Mercenary's to push through.

The Shadow Wings were fast, they could easily maneuver inside the enemy forces, they would slash an enemy a couple of times and they would go on deeper to strike more foes. One by one they had fallen, soon enough most of them died. But their efforts were not in vein, they some of the Shadow Wing Members had successfully pierced the enemy lines, and they had reached an open space where the enemy commander resides.

There were 5 remaining members left, Silhouette, Black Lotus, Scout and 2 other members.

"Hahahaha! Only 5 people? What do you guys think you can do with 5 people?!" The enemy commander shouted and laughed towards them.

". . ." They all stayed silent while the rest of the enemy laughed in front of them.

But little by little their laughter soon got replaced by metals clanking. It was the rest of the Free Wing Mercenary, they had successfully managed to pierce through the weakened defenses made by the Shadow Wings, they only lost a few men, they still had at least 85 people.

"Where did you guys come from?!" The enemy commander shouted, he was in a state of panic.

"We got here through the efforts of our men! Now prepare to die!" Evan shouted while running towards the enemy commander.

The rest of the Free Wing Mercenary followed. The 5 remaining Shadow Wings who were still exhausted from their efforts had joined on the fray too. This time too, they were the ones leading, breaking the rest of the enemies defenses.

After a few minutes, they had finally reached the enemy commander, he was scared but he was still a commander and he was strong. He easily endured the Free Wing Mercenaries attacks and he did good damage too. But soon enough he had let up, he could not take it anymore, and he soon fall dead taking a few more mercenaries with him.

The enemy leader had finally fallen, the Free Wing Mercenaries had dealt quite an impact on the enemy forces, but that did not stop the Isris soldiers from fighting. They surrounded the Free Wing Mercenaries, and started picking them off one by one.

The Free Wing Mercenaries put up a fight, but after fighting for so long, exhausted and tired, they soon fell one by one to the ground. After an hour of putting up a fight, the last member of the Free Wing Mercenary, Scout, had finally fallen down.
