[u]An eye for an eye[/u]
[b]First, only a few of the soldiers were visible from the dojo radar. Nothing major, just a few strange beings on the outskirts of the dojo. Then, they started coming towards the dojo in legions. Hundreds of them poured out of the forests, each marching towards the gates of the dojo. When they arrived, they didn't start attacking. Instead, they sent a lone messenger to the main gates of the dojo. He threw a message over the wall.[/b]
"Give us Fortis and we shall leave peacefully."
[b]The message read. With this big an army, it was clear they weren't here to invite Fortis to a formal dinner or something. They most likely wished to kill him.[/b]
[spoiler]Open, either defend Fortis or give him to the army.[/spoiler]

A small ball like object was seen being thrown in return. After a second the device opened up into a small spider like drone with a camera and speaker. Someone on the other side, a feminine voice who was operating it started speaking through the machine. "*sigh* Alright look, I know your just the messenger so you probably are just following orders. Just carry my machine to whoever's in charge and we will work something out. Got it?"
-
[b]The messenger looked slightly confused before picking up the machine and carrying it off to a tent in the woods. Inside the tent, a massive one of the creatures sat on a makeshift throne. It didn't look as regal as most thrones did, but it was better than a wooden stool. In front of him was a large metal table, and four advisors sat along the table.[/b] "Your majesty, I have brought a message from one of the inhabitants of the dojo." [b]He set down the orb and took a step back.[/b] "Thank you lad. Now please, leave us." [b]The messenger left the tent, leaving the king and his advisors behind.[/b] "Now, how does this contraption work?" [b]The king asked, picking up the object and examining it.[/b]
-
"Same as any communication device. You talk I hear you, I talk, you hear me." Came the same voice from before over the small devices speaker. The small machine took a screenshot of the supposed kings face and whoever was operating the machine ran a background check on them.
-
[b]There wasn't any data available on him, not even his name or age.[/b] "I understand. So what do you want to say?"
-
"For lack of a better word and explanation. People don't bring an entire militia with them unless it's imperative that their objective is accomplished one way or another"

[i]Rook had been wandering around the dojo. Once he made his way past the wall he noticed the note on the ground, and of course picked it up and read it. [/i] "Here for Fortis, well, sucks to be him." [i]Rook says to hinself.[/i] [i]After reading the note, Rook heads back through the dojo, looking for Fortis.[/i]
-
[b]Fortis was sitting in an alley tinkering with the frame of a firearm. He saw Rook out of the corner of his eye, and got up to say hi.[/b]
-
[i]Rook notices Fortis as well.[/i] "Fortis, just the person I've been looking for." [i]Rook's tone of voice didn't sound too excited, almost aggravated.[/i]
-
"I assume you aren't here to ask for a game of chess. What is it?"
-
[i]Rook tosses a broken helmet at Fortis's feet.[/i] "What I want is an explanation for why you killed one of my friends." [i]Rook of course talking about Rhodes.[/i]
-
"You knew that guy?" [b]Fortis asked.[/b]
-
"What makes you think that?" [i]Rook says sarcastically.[/i] "Of course I knew him dipshit. And now I want to know why you had to kill him."
-
"Well, it was a long story. To shorten it a bit, some guy threatened to kill me and my army if I didn't assassinate some people. So I did."
-
[i]Rook pauses.[/i] "Rhodes would have understood that. Now, why is there now an army at the gate looking for you?"
-
"Because I killed Destanius back on Magna Bellum. Well, I ordered his death anyway. That is his brothers army, and he is pissed."
-
"Alright, now, I'm not a big fan of giant armies attacking this place. Now, I was just gonna let them kill you because you killed Rhodes, but, I think attack the giant army sounds like a better plan, you in?"
-
"Sounds good to me. Here is the plan, you and I pretend to parley, and then assassinate their leader. Once that happens, we can mop up the rest of the army."
-
"Sounds like a plan. Let's hurry so they don't get impatient and charge in here."

Edited by BondyMilk: 5/30/2017 4:10:37 AMCylus happened to be walking along the dojo walls when the note came over the wall, hitting him in the head. It bounced pointlessly off of his hood and he picked it up. "Who the hell..?" he said to himself. Reading the note, he cursed aloud. [i]"Now who the flying -blam!- is Fortis? And who is we?" [/i] He grappled up to the top of the wall and saw the large army standing outside the perimeter of the city. "Oh. So that's the "we.""
-
[b]The army stood silently, waiting for some kind of response. They were quite disciplined for an army. In the back of their ranks, a few cannons were being set up.[/b]

"Damn." Cylus muttered as he jumped back from the wall. He carried the note in hand and walked to the nearest guard post. "My name is Cylus, member of the Militia's armed forces. I need an IPB stat, we have a situation brewing outside. I need a team to go out and search for a character by the name of Fortis, as he or she seems to be the key to this whole thing. Now." Cylus' rank in the Militia gave him credit, and those in the post began moving in response. Grabbing a passing grunt by the arm, he mutters "Keep an eye out on this army while I'm gone. And if anyone finds Fortis before I do, ring me. I have no intention on giving up this individual to this army. We keep them as well as the city safe at all means necessary. I'll call in backup."
-
[b]Fortis didn't take much finding. In fact, he walked up to Cylus.[/b] "Excuse me, what is going on out there?"
-
"Uh... Just standard Militia protocol." Cylus said. He was attempting to avoid as much panic and mass hysteria as possible. "And who might you be?" he asked
-
"I'm Fortis, and you are?"
-
"Uh, Mr. Fortis, nice to finally meet you" Cylus says with an extended hand. "My name is Cylus, I'm a soldier in the Militia and I think you might want to come with me..."
