THE WAR FOR MYTHERIA - Isekai Adventure

Hope y'all had a special Valentine's Day everyone!

@ZapdosZell put his arms around Clive and Fenna. I just didn't know to describe them in the post as those two weren't there when everyone was introducing themselves to eachother so Zell doesn't know their names.

THE WAR FOR MYTHERIA - Isekai Adventure

As he approached the pedestrian crossing, he looked over. The lights were red so he didn't slow his gait. He glanced down at his phone as he crossed, eager to finish the message he was sending to Clara. The loud honking of a horn drew his attention. He turned his head quickly to bright lights. Bus lights. Crash.

The lights were red.

Pain. So much pain. He couldn't feel his legs. Couldn't feel his arms. Couldn't move his head. The evening sky was his view. An indigo sheet dotted with the occasional twinkle. Pain. Slow blinks. Eyelids heavy. He could hear voices.

"Oh my god!"

"Call an ambulance!"

A face. Unknown. Horrified. Am I going to die? Fuck, please no. I'm too young to die. This pain though. The lights were red. Eyelids so heavy. Need to rest my eyes.

"Sir, are you with us? Stay with us."

More faces. Paramedics. Please save me. Please fucking save me. Can't keep my eyes open. Save me.

"We're losing him."

Shit. Pain subsiding. Blackness. Faces in the dark. My mother. Father. Sister. More family. Friends. Teachers. Randoms.

"He doesn't appear to have any serious injuries."

Oh thank god.

"Just a nasty bump on the back of his head."

Wait. Is that all. That bus though.

"Wake up, adventurer. The battle isn't yet done."

Zell opened his eyes after feeling the sharp pain on his cheek for the second time. He was traumatized. Shocked to see the townguard rise up to his feet and turn his attention to other things. The swordsman sat up to see skeletons fleeing out of the gate, hearing the ogres roar in their last stand. He got up quickly, reached for his sword to find it was gone. When he saw James he did his best to give him the bravest face he could manage, puffing his chest out. "Good to see you're not dead," was all he could think to say, and he gave the staff wielder a salute. "Now where the fuck is my sword?"

Fortunately, in spite of what the guardsmen told him, the battle was indeed over. The ogres were being finished off as he carefully approached, remembering that his sword was stuck in the shoulder of the Armoured Ogre. His mind was in shambles as he watched the townguards and others enjoying their victory. "Good job," he told one who he passed. Then shouted over to Arthur. "Hey Arthur! Nice going!"

Growling with effort as he pushed over the vine-wrapped Armoured Ogre, he went around and found the sword sticking out of the dead beast. He couldn't get the bus lights out of his head. He was dead! This was... hell or... something. Dead, god damnit! "Get it together, man," he told himself quietly as he yanked the sword free, then realized frustratedly, "Oh jeez, it's not even mine."

He found his sword near the eastern gate, and the time taken meant he missed most of the conversation, but also gave him enough space to prepare himself to be the usual macho dumbass he presented himself to be.

"Saving the world? Alriiiight," he interjected, inserting himself between the farm man and the European woman whose accent he still couldn't place. He put an arm around each of them to rest on their shoulders and gave them both a grin. "Road trip. Let's do it. Anything to take our minds off being kidnapped by another dimension or whatever... I'm down."

Whew. Forty unread posts taken care of. Time to crack on with Zell. Gimme an hour or two

THE WAR FOR MYTHERIA - Isekai Adventure

@Crusader LordAw, that would've been so funny if we set that up and then later they talked it out and realised it lol But I already have her plane crashing into a canyon, flying from France to Japan.

Speaking of ironic, some of the character's names in this story have mild to strong connections to their owner.

@Calle Fenna means "Peace" which lines up really well with her personality and background.

@Zapdos Adam means "Earth" or "Soil" which is fits perfectly with his Adventurer Class.

@Teyao Sirius means "Glowing" which fits the Cleric Class.

@Saiyan Marsel means "Young Warrior" It's also French too, so we could use this for a cool interaction.

@Goblinguy Arthur means "Bear" or "Strong" just lol

@Dark Cloud Michel means "Who is like a God" which sums up the Legend that is Clive!

That's a lot of coincidences!

@Dark Cloudlol they've had it rough in this story

THE WAR FOR MYTHERIA - Isekai Adventure

He missed!

But not completely, thank fuck.

Zell felt both blades sink deep into the ogre. One would think it'd be enough to bring it down. At least to it's knees. Instead Zell was left to play 'Ride the Bucking Bronco' for the time being.

"W-woaahhh! Oh shiiyyyiiiyyyiiiyyyiit!" Zell yelled out as he swung this way and that from the hilts of the swords, trying but failing miserably to get his feet planted on the back of the Armoured Ogre and gain some stability. In his dynamic positioning, he caught a glimpse of James and realised the ogre was running toward his new friend. "James watch out!"

He didn't even get a chance to see if the man was dead or dodged as the Armoured Ogre stomped it's way across the battlefield while Zell hung on for dear life. When he finally got a single foothold on it's back, the massive sword came arcing around and Zell was forced to swing out of the way. The constant bounce of the rampaging ogre didn't stop but the frat-boy-turned-swordsman gained his footing once more - this time with two feet firmly planted on the ogre's back.

Zell yanked his own sword free of the ogre's flesh, leaving the other in there so he could hold on. The ogre's masive sword came around again, this time from the other side, and Zell managed to parry away what would have been instant death. With one hand he pulled himself higher up the ogre's back to see what was going on - and what that purple light show was - and (unfortunately) the ogre chose that time to come to a sudden halt, sending Zell flying overhead.

"Waaaaah!"

The sheer velocity of his flight knocked over two fleeing skeletons like bowling pins and then he smashed, upside down, into the wooden beams of the eastern gateway, smacking his head against solid wood. As he struggled to get to one knee, his vision blurred and swayed, but his attention was captured by the sound of another stone coffin hitting the ground just outside the town gates. He smirked as he realised that it'd just splattered a bunch of skellies when it landed, then he struggled the rest of the way to his feet.

"Oh nice, we've got reinforcements," he commented to no one in particular. He looked over at the ogres, then took a step towards them before pausing due to a really bad dizzy spell.

Two seconds. Three seconds. Four. Five...

"Alright... I'm okay," he said to himself.

Then he took another step and fell unconcious. Flat on his face.

@Zool I'm going to Dubai! I'm looking forward to it; I've never been there and it should be a fun trip!

@Zapdos

Have a good trip mate!

THE WAR FOR MYTHERIA - Isekai Adventure

Zell double-checked over his shoulder and MacKensie's the length of wall he would have to suicide-plow through to reach the ladder and get down to ground level. It would not be easy and he certainly wouldn't be able to do it without the marksmen at his back.


"Zell!............ "!!!" ..........Stop fucking Flirting and help!"

Zell looked about incredulously for the recognizable voice of James and found him, seeing the fury on his face even from this distance. Then his robed, staff-wielding comrade started doing a whole bunch of hand gestures that had Zell wondering for a second if he was casting some kind of spell. Maybe there'd be a lightning bolt whizzing by his ear this time. But no, he was trying to communicate something. What though?

Zell's reflexes barely managed to save himself from a lunging skeleton and he fought off his assailant as he angrily shouted into the air. "I can't read sign language bro! What the fuck are you saying!?"

Zell was never the smartest person in the room. His wits were reserved for flashy talking at frat party full of drunks. It didn't occur to him that James maybe couldn't shout his plans across the battlefield if they were to be successful. But when he heard James commanding the soldiers to retreat to the wall and he looked, it finally dawned on him what James might have been trying to communicate.

"Change of plan, doll." He step forward away from MacKensie's back and kicked a skeleton to the floor before U-turning and flying past her. "We're gonna double-up on the stupidity."

Running and fighting was so scary but so cool at the same time. Zell even threw in a twirl here and there. To have such strength and skill. To be in such a dangerous situation where one wrong move would be the end of you. To fight to the death in the defence of innocent people. It was intoxicating. No winning any football cup final could even compare to this. Nothing in his world could.

His heart was threatening to burst from his chest as he swayed right to avoid an oncoming attack, letting the skeleton stumble past him into the path of MacKensie. He rushed into the flank of an enemy who was engaged with a townguard, driving his sword into the skeleton, pushing it up against the battlements while the townguard finished it off.


"Hey asshole! It was me who blinded you! What? You are not going to do anything about it!? Attack damnit! Attack me!"

Zell laughed at James' suicidal taunts. "He's as stupid as he is genius, that's for sure."

Closing in on the Armoured Ogre's position, he caught the sword-hand of a skelly and ran his blade through it's mouth, letting it fall dead while stealing it's sword for himself. Now dual-wielding he changed his swords to reverse grip, sprinted a couple of yards and without thinking just dove from the top of the wall.

High up. Directly above the the Ogre. Both hands raised with both swords pointing down and aiming for ogre skull. He hoped for the best.
