Books 2 C19 The Battle

I gathered 34 of the Supers, 34 Ny'Har'en, Cindy and her 6 Apprentices, 6 of the Barrier Specialist, 4 Lightning Mages, and 12 of the Area Barrier Healers. That gave us 13 diverse parties, my group of 24 and 12 groups of 6. We gathered up all the Hum-Vee's and Tanks into my Inventory, as well as all the buses. I still had no idea how many we would be saving or how far away they were, as she has not woken up yet, but our force was gathering and prepping.

Montgomery and Halloway were issuing orders to everyone, setting up formations and parties. If there was more than 400 it was going to be hard to take them all but we will manage somehow. I almost took the three Pave Hawks with Miller and his pilots, but decided to hold off for now. With that Dragon about, seeing a chopper in the air may attract him, and that is one thing we do not want right now. For the time being the Pave Hawks are indefinitely grounded.

Rick asked to bring 20 of the Elites along, but I told him we need the Elites to maintain security here. That was their real purpose and let the Supers handle the field.

I head for the Infirmary as everyone is getting ready, to check on our Elf Guest. As I enter, Doc Snow stops me.”You might want to brace yourself, her attraction is effected by her mood it seems. The stronger her emotions, the stronger the attraction. It is even effecting our females, and it seems to be a racial trait.” He says to me.

“Alright lets wake her Doc, if we want to save as many of her people as can, we need to move out now.” I say to him and he nods. We approach her bed and he takes out a capsule and breaks it putting it under her nose, she quickly awakens at the smell.

“What is that awful smell?” She cries out, then realizes where she is.

“We woke you up so you can help us get to your people quickly.” I say to her and feel myself getting aroused by her. Holy crap this is bad, my manhood is standing at attention like a damn flagpole.

I look over at Doc Snow who seems to be slightly embarrassed right now, he too is feeling the effect from her.

She gets out of bed and begins to stumble and I reach out to give her a hand, she grabs onto me to prevent herself from falling, her body pushes up against me and her full scent hits me. My mind almost goes blank with desire. Control yourself Scott, full control! I have shut my inner thoughts off to my wives to prevent any more outbursts or misunderstandings.

I pull away from her quickly. “So um, I am sorry, I do not even know what to call you” I say, realizing I do not know her name.

“My apologies Scott, my name is Aerleras Galalond First Princess of the Elven Forest Tribe, Lyrsenthis. ” She says introducing herself to me. Another Princess, oh boy! I think as I also think of what Cindy would already be thinking.

“Is something the matter Scott?” She asks as my face probably took on a surprised expression.

“Oh, no, no, not at all Princess, I guess I should formally introduce myself as well, I am Scott Smith the King of this Kingdom.” I say quickly to her.

“The King? Ahh no wonder you have so many wives then, it makes sense now”, She exclaims happy.” Then your Majes,,”

“Scott, it is Scott lets dispense with titles, we need to save your people and having to remember titles too, will not do” I say interrupting her.

“Very well Scott, call me Aerleras please.” she says and curtsies

“Shall we then be going Aerleras?” I ask

“Scott she still needs rest.” Doc Snow says

“I am fine Healer, I am rested now, we must hurry and save as many as we can” she says to Doc Snow.

“By the way how many of your people are there?” I ask as we begin to move to the door.

“Before the Giants came we were over 5000, but now we are a mere 1400 left.” She says as she exits

Shit so many? Well it is an entire tribe, I should not be surpised to be honest.

We head to the staging area and everyone is ready now and in the Hum-Vee's waiting. Aerleras sees the vehicles then look back to me” “we are going in these?” she asks hesitantly.

“Yes Aerleras it is our fastest mode of ground transportation here.” I say to her and open the door to the lead Hum-Vee, Cindy is in her fire mage garb, Black Robes, the golden head band with the red gem in it on her head and her black wand in hand, wearing the necklace, ring and earrings of her profession. Julie too is dressed in her garb, her outfit is a shirt and vest combo, with a knee length skirt, each made in yellow and green alternating colors, her tiara sitting perfectly on her head holding her red hair in place, her necklace, rings and earrings finishing the look. In her hands is her grand White Staff with the blue gem at it's top. and Ki'Diera is dressed in her Ny'Har'en warrior brown leather armor, her sword and dagger at her sides, are already in the back seat. I go to take the wheel and Aerleras sits in the passenger side. Stinson is in gunner position. Two Fire mages, dressed similar to Cindy, are sitting in the back.

We pull out of the West Gate and head North towards the Burn zone, then find the road that leads to the NW to Mancos Colorado and the place she is probably talking about is the San Juan Forest by the San Juan Mountains, it is a very large area. But she could also be talking about the Weminuche Wilderness which is North of here depending on how she traveled.

We head North, the road is fairly clear, as almost no one drives it going to the little town of Mancos, Aerleras directs us saying to keep going in our general heading watching the scenery fly by. On occasion a creature pops out of the surroundings, some not recognized or seen before. A few too familiar, like the Devil Hounds, who are hit with electrical right away to stun them in place as we drive by. It takes an hour to get to Mancos and the town is deserted, many houses and shops are destroyed.

We pass thru the town on Main Street heading North still. I stop the vehicles to grab our bearings asking for more landmarks from her, she says there is a lake nearby where her people are gathered. I look at my map and see she must mean Jackson Lake. I then cut across some fields heading for a county road that leads to it. The ride is a little bumpy but we manage. It takes another 15 minute, as we approach the lake area. I can see smoke billowing from the trees in several places and a fiery explosion erupts from another. I stop the vehicle and the convoy. A battle is raging nearby.

The fight is only about 300 m from us, but due to the trees we can not see anything, only the sounds of battle can be heard. I look for an open spot and find one perfect for us. I move the vehicles over to it.

“Set up a defensive perimeter here we will draw them to us and defend this spot”

I set up the Tanks and the Hum-Vee's are placed around them. The Tanks are manned right away. The Ny'Har'en take positions among the trees in hiding. While the Super Soldiers take cover around the various vehicles. The Fire mages are with us while Julie's Area Barrier healers stay with their groups. Barriers erupt all over protecting those within.

We see the first of the Elves approach and stop in their tracks seeing us, looking at us with suspicion at first then they spot Aerleras who calls out to them. One takes out a horn and blows it several times as the sound travels into the distance. They then run and join us in our defensive position.

The first Giant emerges from the trees, slapping them aside like twigs, uprooting some. It stands almost 15 ft tall, enormous by any standards, flabby skin all over, it is hanging loosely off of him, his nudity fully exposed, as his manhood dangles wildly about. His teeth look brown and rotten, and his hair which is waist long is matted down by grime and filth. His skin is covered in dirt and mud, what skin you could see was gray in color, almost like a corpse drained of blood. With a roar he emerges from the trees and we open fire, no one, but the Ny'Har'en, holds back as they remain hidden.

Fireballs, lightning, 30 beams of various energy types, six tanks, and my Big Daddy adds to the salvo, knocking the Giant off his feet, throwing him back several meters to the ground. The smoking corpse remains laying there. Then he suddenly starts to twitch, slowly sitting up and shakes his head. 30 more beams, fireballs and lightning hit it in the head as it is evaporated and the headless corpse sits in place slumped over, the upper body is charred from fire.

Another Giant this one is 12 meters tall, emerges chasing two female elves who are running for dear life. We yell to grab their attention and fire at the giant as well. I fire Big Daddy to knock him off his feet, but he only stumbles absorbing the blast. The Giant turns to face his new enemy and sees us. roars like the last and charges, as tank turrets turn to face it and fire, causing the Giant to stumble once again. The Elves now seeing us, use magic to teleport to us. Blinking from one place to the next in an instant, exhausted they fall to the ground.

More and more elves begin to emerge from the forest as the Horn is sounded once a gain. Soon hundreds of elves are gathering. Aerlelas is explaining in quick details to them what is going on and several join our ranks to defend the position. Then we hear the rumble and see many of the trees being parted as something large heads towards us.

Julie, Cindy, Ki'Diera now

With that thought the four of us merge into one. Each of us transposed over the other, shimmering in place as our faces keep replacing the other, we look like four people standing on the same spot each fighting to come forth it seems. As one we activate Ki'Diera's body enhancements and weapon enhancements holding her sword, while in the other hand, fire begins to form from Cindy's flame magics.

Many Giants ranging from 12 ft to 15 ft tall, male and female alike, their nudity fully exposed, emerge from the trees. They all stop when they see us with a look of confusion at first, seeing tank barrels pointed at them and many people pointing weapons at them. Then they all rush as do we. Elves Ny'Har'en and Human, all attack. The Giants hit walls of mana barriers in their path, some getting knocked off their feet. Beams flash out focus firing heads of Giants, while fireballs and Lightning flash into the coming Giants erupting in massive flames around them. Some giants fall twitching to the ground with electricity running over their bodies.

The Ny'Ha'en rush from their hiding places, attack in groups much like the Elves, hitting a single Giant in many places at once, concentrating on their legs to drop them. Thin red lines appear all over the legs and wounds open up, as the Ginat is stabbed and slashed repeatedly.

Giants are attacking the groups, as four Ny'Har'en go flying thru the air, caused by a big swipe from a giant. A few elves are crushed from a pair of fists smashed into the ground. It is now a chaotic scene, as both sides are engaged in battle, elves and Ny'Har'en slashing and dancing around wildly swinging Giants.The Girls and I as one, attack using speed, time slows for us as everything goes into slow motion. Using Ki'Diera mana enhanced sword, we slice into a Giant and it roars in extreme pain, it's mouth opens wide, jumping into the air, using the other hand, we let loose a stream of fire into the gaping mouth, cooking it from the inside.

Moving on to the next one, we easily dodge giant hands grabbing at us, as we charge a Giant that is stooping over to grab a wounded Elf with it's hands, as we run by we slice at it's neck, taking off the head cleanly. We continue our run, keeping up our blazing speed, slicing at dozens of legs and calves. We turn to see our handy work, but we realize suddenly all the wounds we cause simply heal back up quickly. Only the decapitated and burnt Giants remained dead.

The Ny'Har'en also found their tactics useless, as the wounds kept healing up as fast as they made them.

“You must remove the heads or they will not die, or burn them. Only fire can truly kill them.” one of the Elves is yelling to us all.

TROLLS? I wonder and look at the creatures description

Creature!Troll level 130

Damn it should have looked sooner, I though they were Giants, well hell they are Giants from a normal persons perspective.

As one we yell to all, “HEAT AND FIRE Burn them down!”

The Fire Mages let loose numerous fireballs at the incoming Trolls. The fire is scorching, but not killing them, however the wounds caused by the fire do not regenerate. The Supers Soldiers focus fire the heads, it takes 6 Supers several shots each to fully take one down. The tanks keep firing, scoring hits and staggering the trolls, but they too, do not kill them.

Now, knowing what to do, we run in front of a group of Trolls and stop, holding out both hands we let loose Cindy's dual cone of fire, long streams of blazing hot fire slowly burns at the trolls, as they howl in agony. Our mana is regen'ing faster than we can use it up. We keep the steady streams going, moving our body from left to right and back, the other fire mages join us and start to do the same, as we stand in a line, we all begin walking forward putting out streams of fire. Then mana barriers appear around us, the Area Mana Barrier Healers join in and protect us. The Supers Soldiers join in as well, forming up behind us and begin firing at the heads of those in front of us as we slowly begin to push back the Trolls the fire causing them to retreat.

Elves and Ny'Har'en join forces and hit from the sides and rear attacking the necks and heads of the Trolls, while others of their groups distract the Trolls with low hits and jabs causing them to bend forward in an attempt to swipe away the pests.

Quickly now, the Trolls are being routed, as we and the 6 Fire mages, let loose continuous streams of fire burning them up. The streams of fire melting their flesh to the bone as they crumble in place. Healers are running to the injured and wounded, healing them as fast as they can, some on the verge of death.

As the last of the Trolls are burned alive, a cheer goes up, as all celebrate this small victory. A Healer runs to us and reports, 18 Elves died as did 4 Ny'Har'en. Many still are in critical condition, but are being treated. With our mana full again we separate. Julie rushes to help heal the critically wounded, while I go to see Aerleras and her people, Cindy and Ki'Diera follow.

“There are many Giants in the forest still and many of our people out there.” Aerleras say to me, as we approach her, her face shows gratitude and relief.

“These are Trolls, Aerleras, they have high regenerative abilities and can only be killed by fire or decapitation.” I say to her.

She nods to me. Then I feel myself almost overwhelmed by lust and catch my breath.

“Oh my god this sensation is overwhelming” cries Cindy, her voice getting husky.

Ki'Diera stares confused. “What is it Cindy?”

“The Elves they are giving off something causing lust in us” I say almost out of breath as the urge is growing stronger. I look and at least 500 Elves are gathered in one place, a mix of male and females and all the Humans are panting and breathing hard now, while the Ny'Har'En seem to be unaffected.

“EVERYONE! pull back now, get away from the Elves!” I yell loudly

“What is it Scott?” Aerleras asks

“(It is the same as the others, they are going mad.)” says a male Elf next to Aerleras in their language

“(It is not us going mad, your bodies give off something that causes us humans to go crazy with lust, we need to separate for the moment, let us catch our breath here)”, I yell at them in their language, bent over, breathing hard and out of breath.

Humans and Elves part and distance themselves. Each group staring at the other, the Humans with lustful gazes and the Elves with confused looks, while the Ny'Har'en look on, wondering what is going on.
