Zaguroth is now running ahead and I am ready to attack with my comrades. I can see us struggling with this soon. BZZT..The lights turn off and when they turn back on no one is around. "What is this? Where is everyone?!" My arms begin burning bright yellow with all the wind energy. I turn and turn but nothing is in sight when I finally hear shaking on the ground. I turn towards my backside and my eyes widen in shock. "It's you..I knew you'd be hear of all places trolls like to bunker in" The troll grunts and smiles at me.."You die here like the rest" as the words hit me. The lights turn off and when they turn on...A tear rolls down my cheek as I am filled with disbelief and shock. Biggles lays dead. Wolf is on the ground choking on blood. Zaguroth was impaled through his chest. Yoshi is dead..Bullet is dead..Tsickssense is dead..Mayhem is hanging from his bow from the ceiling. Cheese.."NO CHEESE!" She is crawling towards me with blood all over. "Sk...Skys..You failed us.." The troll looks at me and says "I am Zed...The Evil..Troll" as he does that he walks towards me and steps on Cheese. He places his foot on her head. Stares at me while tears are running down my cheek.."This is your fate and you will join them.." He then lifts his foot and BAM!...Stomps down... Everything goes black and I open my eyes.."What a dream?..I was never knocked out..Where is my team?" I turn to my left and see a body lying with me in this almost completely dark room. I notice who it is.."Mr.Payne..Mr. Payne wake up!" He shake and gets up frightened. "How did I end up here?" I looked around. "I don't know..where did you come from?" He then told me he was coming to Matowa as back up but got ambushed and almost instanly passed out and ended up here. My arms glow and I use it as a light. Payne gets up and follows me. We have no weapons. Where is everyone? I had to many questions. I see a door up ahead with light shining through. I creep up slowly and place my ear on the door. I hear something or someone inside. I look at Payne and we both stare and nod. Ready to ambush the poor troll inside. We barge in and I aim my hand towards the troll sitting next to a small fire. "What the f....." The troll has nothing else to say as Mr.Payne grabs his neck and twists it instantly killing him. I pick up the trolls sword and look to my left to see..Biggles and Wolf lying on the ground in chains. I help Wolf up and Biggles regains consciousness. "What in bloody hell am I doing here..When was I captured and when did I get knocked out? I'm a dwarf it takes more then a good swing to the old noggin to knock me out" Well good to see Biggles can make this a joke. Wolf looks around and appears sad. I look at him and say "We will find everyone and make it out" We gather some stuff and open a door into a small hallway. The stairs are just up ahead and we begin walking towards it. As we walk up ahead i hear chatter in a door we passed. I walk back and place my ear up against it to get a better listen. "You stupid scrub you will die just like the rest..We killed off all the others and we will then take your bases and all of you will be our slaves! Muahaha!' The troll mumbles something else but then I hear something like water hit the ground..Then lots of it hit the ground. I walk in and see the troll dead on the ground and see a familiar sight. "Spectral I am glad to see you" He turns to me and runs and places a sword to my neck. "Where am I and who are you? Where is my team?!" I look at him in shock. "It's me Skys your buddy..The guy who thinks you re badass" He stares then presses the blade even stronger onto my neck. "How do I know it is even you?" I close my eyes and open them and he notices instantly it is me. My arms begin glowing and my eyes shine bright yellow. He nods and grabs the troll one more time and throws it against the wall. We all walk up the stairs and Spectral suddenly stops and says "Wait I know what is up here..I tryed to escape a bit earlier and got ambushed by three bigger trolls..Even a guy like me has its limits." I turn around and look at the men I have. "I won't give up now" I press on and Spectral tells us that most of our team is held up at the top. I am now persistent in my walk. I want my team back and I want this tower in the name of 343i. We rush into a door..only to be seen by a few dozen trolls. They run at us the first ten trolls run at us and in a blink of an eye get slammed to the side with an axe. I smile as I know who it could be. Zaguroth jumps in front and stares at us. "I have too many questions right now answer them later" He grabs his axe and starts swinging at some trolls. Spectral grabs Mr.Payne and throws him into a crowd instantly killing five trolls from the impact. Mr.Payne then pulls out his sword and throws it into a trolls head. I hold up my hand and shoot wind energy at a few trolls while Wolf jumps onto a troll clawing him and grabbing another and tossing him into the air. While the troll is in the air Spectral slices right through the troll with ease. Blood splatters as the last troll is then lifted by my wind and slammed into the ground with Mr.Biggles there to plant a small axe into its head. We quickly sheathe our weapons and move on into the next room. We are now at the top of the roof and I am quickly startled as a troll jumps on me when it does it instantly dies from an arrow piercing his head. I look up and see Bullet in the distance shooting an arrow and he waves. I wave back and walk towards him. I see him defending a few teammates. Cheese is lying next to Mayhem and Yoshi. Yoshi and Mayhem are injured as it seems they have been defending themselves for quite some time. I look around and now see oncoming trolls and a bigger one. I can't let them harm my team. Spectral dives in and grabs the bigger one and tosses him off the edge. "Well things got a whole lot simpler now" Biggles says sarcastically. Spectral grabs biggle and throws him into a crowd of trolls. "Cheeky *******" Biggles says as he begins slashing an axe at some trolls. Killing a few off. Cheese stands up and tosses a small dagger that approaches Mayhem lying on the ground. The troll instantly falls as the dagger hits his eye. Bullet jumps onto a small pavillion and begins shooting arrows. Biggles is still smiting trolls wile Wolf is handling a few trolls around him. I then hear "You started the party without me?" Victory Element walks up to us and is with Lizard" Lizard turns to some trolls and spits some acid on a few. The screams of agony are heard as the trolls melt away. Victory then grabs his great sword and stabs it in the ground. He stands on top of the great sword pulls out small daggers and begins throwing them in each direction killing off dozens of trolls with effortless throws. Mr.Payne is seen throwing a troll off a ledge and waves at us. He then gets pinned by a couple trolls and begins fighting his way through. Bullet jumps off the pavillion and runs to Mr.Payne. Bullet pulls out six arrows at once shoots and it hits the trolls on top of Payne. Payne gets up and looks around. His eyes widen and a huge boulder comes his way. Bullet tackles him trying to dodge it. As he dodges it, it hits the side of his arm and Bullet gets slammed to the ground. Payne notices and comes to his side. I look towards where the boulder was thrown and sigh...Five bigger trolls like before walk towards us. Spectral then rushes toward them but one grabs another boulder and tosses it at him barely missing. Spectral retreats and lands next to Victory Element. Biggles runs up and throws his axe at the first ones foot. But it removes the axe quick and throws it back. Spectral picks up biggles and moves him away. "Thanks big guy" Things are looking bad. We have too much at stake. The Lizard runs toward one big troll and spits acid on its head. The trolls crys out but keeps persevering. The lizard moves at lightning speed and spits some more. As the troll seems to about had it, It grabs one big piece of rubble and hurls it at the lizard in the blink of an eye. The lizard gets hit and falls unconscious. Zaguroth is getting pissed but is too busy with a few smaller trolls. Bullet is on the ground with blood on him. Cheese is too busy making sure Yoshi and Mayhem don't die from there earlier injuries. Wolf then howls and his eyes turn red and his small claws grow and he starts slashing away at the small trolls going for Cheese. I hold my hand up and once again push trolls away. This seems useless..as always. Spectral starting flowing through the air slicing away at small trolls. While Payne fights off two bigger ones with Zaguroth. Payne jumps onto one and begins impaling its back. Zaguroth swings his axe but it is caught and the troll wields it. The troll screams in agony as the axe starts slicing his hand. "No one touches my axe..the axe only accepts my hand" Zaguroth then slashes the troll down the middle and it splits into two and dies. Zaguroth smiles but is quickly interrupted by another big troll. Spectral then grabs biggles once again and tosses him fast at a troll trying to hit them with a boulder. As the troll throws Spectral dodges and throws biggles. Biggles strikes but the troll grabs him by his hands and throws him at Spectral and they both fall crashing to the ground. A troll jumps on cheese and she screams while trying to get it off. I jump towards her and kick it off pushing my wind and killing it. I look around and see everyone struggling. Mr.Payne looks at me and sees the mayhem. He turns to look at everyone and rage builds up in him. "That's enough!...I haven't shown you guys what I am made of" Payne rips off his sleeves of his shirt and his arms begin getting bigger. His arms and muscles become the size of a great sword. He points at me and says "We need to get out of here" I nod. He grabs two trolls and smashes them together crushing them. A bigger troll runs up to him and pushes him to the ground. As the troll is about jump on him. Payne grabs his face and with all his might crushes the head of the troll in his hands. Payne smirks and says.."Is that it this is a piece of cake" We all look in astonishment when suddenly trolls start coming out of every direction. Hundreds of trolls run towards Payne ready to kill him. Payne grabs Victorys great sword and starts swinging killing them with such force. He is soon over whelmed while Victory, Wolf and Bullet try and help him. A big troll grabs Payne and throws him into a small wall. Payne gets back on his feet. His arm grow more and he punches the troll but this troll is unphased and continues attacking Payne. Hundreds of trolls are now in front of us. They attack and I defend Cheese and the unconscious teammates. Payne is now struggling...Everything is falling apart as the team in overwhelmed. Where do these trolls come from. I look at Payne and Payne stares back while holding off the troll. Payne looks around and over sees all the action happening..He closes his eyes and then yells..."Skys! get everyone out of here..You need to get them to safety. I believe in you just like Absolute Dog does." Cheese yells "NO!" We aren't leaving him behind. I stand shocked..I whisper.."There is no choice.." I look at Payne and a tear slides down my cheek. "Payne I'll avenge you!" Payne now realizes he is going to die..."Everyone! Retreat!!!!" Biggles, Spectral, Wolf, Victory help grab those unconscious. I run towards Zaguroth and help him to his feet. We run towards the door all seeing Payne fight off more trolls after trolls. A big troll knocks Payne on the ground and Payne then gives me one final look. He smiles. I begin crying while looking him get stabbed. Blood runs down his mouth. We all run into the door and I am about to shut it. I look back but can't see Payne anymore..Payne is dead. I shut the door just as trolls are about to reach me. I seal the door tight..Tears run down my face. I turn around and Cheese slaps me in the face..She is crying.."How could you leave him.." He was apart of our team..I look down saddened. Biggles grabs cheese and everyone stands quiet. I hate myself right now. We lost a comrade. Someone who came to back us up and we couldn't get him out. I punch the wall and it cracks with the impact. "We need to press on and take this bases heart.." I said as I walk down some stairs. Everyone follows..The air is filled with sadness.
