Hero of Evil's Bane


CHAPTER 8


William and his men were on reconnaissance searching for the Light Runner base. William was on the top of the MGM Hotel watching for any activity in the area. It had been a week since he arrived to Vegas. He and his men had a couple of run ins with the Light Runners but still had no leads on where they may be.

William wasn't worried about where the Light Runners were at he was really worried if he would ever find Joel again and what he would tell Nancy if he didn't find Joel. Suddenly the scanner on the visor began flashing. "Come on William there is another Light Runner sighting." The group leader said.
William got up from the roof and went to where the visor map was telling him to go to.

When William met up with the other Starlight Knights they saw the cops fighting the Light Runners. William noticed that the guards had no way of escaping and could not call for help not even on their radios. "Okay guys we should send two of us down there to distract the Light Runners then have the others ambush them." William said to the others. Then without discussing who would go down there William jumped down towards the enemy and slashed his blade at them. Soon another Knight joined him and they began fighting the enemy.

Surprisingly they defeated the Light Runners easily. William inspected one of the beasts to see what rank of these creatures they had just fought. He then realized that these were lower ranks. Before he got back up a loud explosion was made above him. He looked up and saw the corpses of two Starlight Knight Fall to the ground. Soon another knight jumped down to them and got in his fight stance. William knew that there was something big up there on the roof of the building.

Soon the Light Runner jumped from the building holding another corpse in its hand. Then William heard something hit the ground behind him. William looked to see what it was and saw another one. William sent a sos to the Nevada Starlight Knight HQ for help. He and the two other Knights equipped the power emblems and got ready for the fight. The two giant beasts lunged at them attacking ferociously. These Light Runners were bigger than the ones they last encountered with a height of 13 ft each with giant swords on their hips.

William slashed back at one of them making the Light Runner jump back. The Light Runner pulled out its sword and slammed it down on him. William fell to the ground holding his Sun Sword up blocking the strike. He rolled back kicking the Light Runner in the face then threw some explosive kunai at the monster. When the kunai made contact the explosion went off immediately. When the smoke cleared up William encountered another deadly slash from the Light Runner's giant sword causing him to dodge it.

After dodging the attack the William slashed once again at the beast. Before the sword even got close the Light runner disappeared. William was confused by this at first then felt a powerful blow strike against his head. The strike from the Light Runner caused him to slam through a wall nearby. On the other side of the wall William looked around for his helmet trying to find some extra protection. He looked back at the Light Runner and saw it screeching in anger because of the sharp part of the helmet stabbing into its skin.

William smiled thinking "Reason number 2 why those helmets are so important. The Light Runner was shaking the helmet trying to get it off which made the spare sword come out of the helmet and stab the earth near William's feet. He pulled the weapon out of the ground and fused another emblem with the blade. He saw that the Light Runner was still trying to get the helmet off so he decided that that was the best moment to strike the huge beast. He ran as fast as he could and slammed both fused swords down on the creature knocking it back against a palm tree.

The creature finally grabbed onto the helmet and just pulled it out of its flesh then threw it to the ground in anger while ignoring the pain. The two other Knights were still fighting the other Light Runner and were almost done fighting it when suddenly another rift appeared revealing another one of the Starlight Knight doppelgangers from before. The creature knocked one of the other Starlight Knights away from the giant Light Runner. The doppelganger then quickly rushed towards William and grabbed him by the throat. "A pity that such a formable opponent to my brother must die." It said.

William looked at it confused "You think you and your leader will win? We Knights will not stop protecting Earth until all of you beasts are dead!"
The Light Runner smiled behind the helmet it wore "Trust me human, our master is not even from our home world for he is so powerful that even our greatest armies are fearful of his power."

William knew that these were his final moments of life so he shut his eyes awaiting the final blow. He shut his eyes and waited…

THREE DAYS BEFORE
PRISON IN THE LIGHT REALM

It had been four days that Joel had been living in the Light Realm with gravity 26 times that of Earth's. The scientist from another planet Shmi had been teaching him of the many things that he knew that Joel did not including the teaching of how to look closely at an object with no tools and being able to see the atoms that make up every being. Joel had really found that this teaching came quit useful later. This day that he was in this prison he found the perfect escape route.

This day was the only day of the month that the prisoners would be aloud to go to the outside world of the Light Realm. This was a torture being sent out because the prisons that the prisoners lived in were formed from the essence of the dark world. When Joel and Shmi were outside there was a bright glare in there eyes. Joel felt the gravity push down harder on them because this gravity was nothing like that of the cells which are much weaker because of how the cells were not natural in gravity.

Joel thought of how going outside could help him escape when a bright idea came over him. He looked for a strong stick of the light world and had Shmi distract the guards long enough after he found the stick so that he could grab it and hide it in his clothing. When they were sent back into the cells he pulled out the stick and made sure it wasn't broken. The stick was strong so it didn't break under the cell's tremendous gravity.

By now Joel had gotten used to the gravity which was amazing for any being of his power levels to do. The gravity had actually made him at least 9 times as strong. He held the stick in an attacking stance about to unleash his plan. "What are you planning on doing with the stick Joel?" Shmi asked.
Joel smiled then said "Just watch."

Joel then swung at the wall near him as fast as he could with hope that his plan would be a success. At first there wasn't a single sound made, but soon the wall fell over as if a very sharp and powerful sword had slashed it in half. Shmi looked at Joel confused by what just happened "How did you do that Joel?" Joel just smiled and said "A secret that you taught me. C'mon now, we can't let the guards spot us." Shmi nodded his head then went through the next opening that Joel made with the stick.

Joel and Shmi were sneaking down the hallway watching out for any guards. Soon they were halfway out of the building when suddenly a Light Runner jumped them. Joel knocked Shmi out of the way and swung the stick at the creature. The creature jumped back then let out a laugh as it realized what Joel was using for a weapon. "Do you really think that a little stick like that will protect you? You would be better off with your hands!" It said
Joel looked at it and got in his battle stance then said "Trust me, even a small hair can cut through the greatest metals." The Light Runner smiled then rushed at Joel and slashed its claws at him.

Joel knocked the blades away with his stick then slashed at the beast again. The Light Runner didn't think that the stick would do anything to hurt him so it just let the stick strike. After swiping across the skin of the creature blood appeared, quickly covering the cheek of the beast. The Light Runner put its hand against its face and felt the scar created by the stick. The Light Runner was about to attack again when Joel swung the stick at the neck of the creature cutting its head off. Joel and Shmi continued they're escape and eventually reached the armory which was near the exit.

Joel opened the door and looked for Kleita and quickly put on the Starlight Knight Armor of his that was in there. When he had found Kleita and was wearing his armor he and Shmi ran towards the exit. When they were only 10 feet away another Light Runner appeared. Shmi wasn't sure if Joel would be able to defeat this Light Runner because it was a much higher rank than the ones that were encountered before.
"Joel I do not think that you can defeat this one it is a much higher rank than the ones we have encountered before." Shmi whispered to Joel.
The creature smiled behind the mask then said to Joel "I remember you, the target that I was supposed capture at that base of The Starlight Knights. Tell me did you get to see what happened to those friends of yours who tried to rescue you?"

Joel pulled out Kleita and said "I don't have time for any of your stupid games! Get out of our way or I'll have to finish you!" The beast smiled and said "But don't you want to see what my master has in store for you?" Joel was getting irritated and decided to strike the creature first, he slashed Kleita at the Light Runner and it jumped back. "Very well," it said "I guess that I will have to defeat you once again." It then pulled out its sword and got into its fighting stance. Both were eye to eye, face to face in this showdown and both needed to kill.

The Light Runner said "I guess I will strike f-" Joel slashed at the creature once again and it dodged and slashed back. Joel blocked the attack with Kleita then punched the creature in the stomach knocking it against a so hard that a hole was made in it. Joel jumped towards the beast and slammed down his sword. Using his new technique, Joel cut the sword of his enemy in half without a single noise. The blade was moving so fast that the blade cut of one of the Light Runner's legs.

Joel then pulled back his blade and swung once more ending the life of the evil beast. Joel put Kleita back in the sheath and left the prison that he and Shmi had been in. When they finally got outside of the prison gates Shmi lead the way from there. The place that Shmi lead them to was known as the Rift chambers. Shmi quickly began hacking the systems and got another rift opened. Joel asked "Where does it lead to?"
Shmi said "I don't know for sure where, but I know that this is our last chance to get out of this mad world!"
Joel decided to trust Shmi and both of them stepped through the rift.
On the other side Joel was shocked to see a squad of Light Runners except they weren't facing them they were facing towards a bunch of monitors studying a group of 6 Starlight Knights. Joel took them out one by one as fast as he can so that they would alert any of the others that may have been in the area.

Afterwards he checked the different monitors so that the Starlight Knights would be able to get the upper hand in this war. Suddenly he noticed an image on one of the monitors. He made the picture zoom in till he could see what it was. He stumbled back a bit for the thing that he saw on the screen was William, and what was behind him…


END OF CHAPTER
Chapter 8 of Hero of Evil's Bane!

I have to admit this is the only chapter that I worked very hard on. This chapter Joel finally breaks free of the Dark prison that is in the Light realm and learns of a new technique for battle that allows him to win almost any battle.

Joel meets a new friend named Shmi (sound familiar?) who is an alien from another planet who helps Joel escape the light realm.

Hope that every1 enjoys!

:D

Very nice escape. Very dramatic. First thought that came into my head though when you said he got stronger from the cell was dragon ball z. How Goku got stronger in that training cell. :P
