MAGUS IV
DECIDING BATTLES
THE ARK TRILOGY
PART III
By Jack Pinemonkey
Chapter 6
When Magus, Trick, and Teel arrived at the at the Vice-Council,
or what was left of it, they saw a throng of Bracketts. They were all
carrying weapons, even the kids. When the group saw Magus, they lowered
their weapons.
"What happened here?" asked Magus.
"The Ark came," replied one of the Bracketts.
"The best is yet to come!" cried a voice.
Magus turned around and saw Sin. Sin smiled. The villagers
charged Sin. When the weaopons and villagers reached Sin, she/he
dissapeared in a flash of fire. Some of the villagers were burned.
Magus looked on in rage. His face was twisted in anger. He turned
to the Bracketts.
"We can't bargain with it, we have to fight!" declared
Magus.
"Command us Wise One!" cried some of the villagers.
************
The first battle took place on Grass Hill. Sin lined up the
Bracketts under her/his control. Magus lined up his troops. Magus'
troops waited for the signal. They had been ordered to wait for Sin to
make the first move. The enslaved Bracketts were suddenly thrown up into
the air. They soared over to the front lines of Magus's troops. When
they hit the ground, they exploded killing members of the first and
second lines. Magus troops charged.
Magus waved his Striped flag. Out of the ground, in the gap
between the third and fourth line, rose a giant machine. It had the face
of a Brackett but the body of a spider-like creature. It walked with the
troops.
Sin stood at the top of the hill. Her/His hair bellowed in the
wind caused by the oncoming storm. The cloud had already become gray
with clouds. The Ark came over the hill floating over Sin.
The spider crouched and jumped over the front lines. It started
up the large hill that Sin stood on. The Ark opened fire with the guns
on its side. The bolts hit the spider all over the place. The magic
barrier deteriated and the outer shell began to melt and give away.
The spider jumped into the air and curled its legs up. Then it
burst into a mixture of fire and electricity. When the dust cleared, the
troops could see the soft, blue, glowing magic barrier that surrounded
Sin and the Ark. The barrier was let down and compartments on the Ark
opened. Out of the compartments came tiny ants. A whole googolplex of
them. They crawled down the hill.
The troops were swarmed with them. Once the ants left a body,
there was not much left. The ant moved through the army quickly.
BOOOOM! There was a clap of thunder. Then rain. Magus did the
first thing he could think of. He jumped into the air and shot out a
bolt of lightning. The electricity spread fast. The remaining Bracketts
were killed, but so were the ants.
