The Company Of Light
Prologue: The Death Of The Commander of The Company Of Light
Third Person POV:
In a galaxy far away from our own, a world war is brewing. A whole planet is in a mass of state panic because of the Southern Regime's Invasion of the Northern Regime.
Medics storing medical supplies and tending the wounded. Soldiers sharpening their weapons. The Best War Strategist from all of the Northern Regime meeting on how they can survive this attack. Workers setting up traps and barricading the Capitol.
The Capitol is where the Northern Regime making their last and final stand the Capitol is what all the North Regime has. The Southern Regime have taken control most of the planet. From the districts surrounding the Capitol. From smaller town surrounding the districts. Everything.
President Covington, the ruler of the Northern Regime, knew that their chances of surviving this attack is very slim, but what he is sure of is that they're not going down without giving the Southern Regime a fight. Fortunately, they've manage to gather a large army, but not enough to win against the South's Army.
"President, our spy from the South have sent as an intel." The General of the army of North Regime said.
"Let me hear it and this better be a useful one." The President replied hoping for a good news but knew that this will not be one.
"Well according to our spy, We should expect an attack within the next hour and the army they're gonna use is a very large one. It is a ratio of one to fifty."
The President didn't reply.
"Shall I order the soldiers to sound raise the white flag?"
"NEVER! Can you hear what your suggesting General? I'd prefer to die fighting than to be captured by the enemy! Prepare the soldiers and turn on the emergency siren."
"As you wish President. Will there be anything else?"
"Are all our turrets in place?"
"Yes, Sir."
"What about the Artilleries and Rocket Missiles?"
"All are in place, Sir."
"And the Anti-Aircraft Missiles?"
"Every single one. And It has been a pleasure fighting with you President Covington."
"Do not say your good-bye's yet General, our chances are slim but not impossible. This is the time our planet needs us most. Now go alert our soldiers for were about to make our final stand here in the capitol."
Just when the general was about to leave a black vortex blinded the room with light and when it subsided out step a Woman.
"Who are you? How did you get past our main entrances? Are you from the South? If you're here to finish us off then good luck doing it because I'm sure that the Northern Regime will not go down without fight!" President Covington yelled at the woman.
"Relax President Covington. I mean no harm to nor to your army. My name is Chaos I'm the God and Creator of the Universe. In fact I'm here to help you vanquish the South." Chaos calmly replied
"How can I trust you? And Why did you choose to help the North and not the South?"
"Because I know your intention of ruling this country consist of Sincerity and Pure Goodness, while If I let the Southern Regime took control this planet will be covered in pure evil and destruction."
"I'm flattered Lady Chaos, but unfortunately the chances of us even surviving this Attack is astronomical much less on winning this war."
"Not If I can help it."
"How can you help us? I thought direct interference of a Goddess against a mortal's affair is a complete violation of the Ancient Laws."
"Well, spreading peace and prosperity in the universe is in my domain and besides I will not be the one fighting."
"What do you mean by that Lady Chaos?"
"Throughout the past millennia I've realized that the universe is becoming a lot harder to control so to help me, I've created the Company Of Light. A group of Elite and Powerful soldiers which consist of 100 people and they will be the one fighting for you not me."
"Thank you Lady Chaos. This planet will always owe you a gratitude."
"Just promise me that after this way you will always keep this planet in peace and order."
"Until my last dying breath milady."
Suddenly the door burst open revealing a Capitol Soldier.
"State your business Private Ryan" Says President Covington
"Sir, It seems that our spy has miscalculated the arrival time of the South's army, he said that the army will arrive in the next 5 minutes." Private Ryan said with a hint of panic and fear in his eyes.
With a smile President Covington said "Alert our army regarding of our new found ally, the Company of Light."
The moment the battle begun the capitol was covered in complete mayhem and pandemonium. The Northern regime have a total army of 1000 soldiers, including the Company of Light, while the Southern Regime have at least 20 000.
When the Southern first rallied, almost instantly the Northern Soldiers immediately took line in guarding the 5 Main Entrances of the Capitol, while others manned the Rocket Missiles, Artilleries, and Anti-Aircraft Missiles that surrounds the Main Headquarter of the Capitol.
"FIRE!" commands the soldier in charge in locking targets when using the Indirect Combat Units, thus releasing a volley of rockets which instantly kills all the South's Soldiers in the target.
Meanwhile, at the entrances of the Capitol each Capitol soldiers are handling at least five of the South's soldiers. Others emerge victorious, but some are not so lucky. While the members of the Company of Light who is far more superior and well trained than an ordinary Capitol Soldiers are handling at least 25 soldiers at the same time.
Just when the odds seems to favor the North, at least a dozen of South's Bomber soared into the sky and released a wave of bombs that encircles the Capitol's Palace. Others made it out of their respective machines, while others are not lucky and completely perished with the weapons they're manning. Fortunately the Anti-Aircrafts managed to destroy the first and the incoming second wave of South's bombers before they can cause further damage.
The archers of the north that was mounted at the Palace's windows luckily survive. As a revenge they sent a volley of arrows at the South's army, and of course not using ordinary arrows some of it exploded at contact killing a handful of South's soldiers at the process. While some of the arrows exploded, others released a huge amount of thick fog thus blinding the South's Soldiers making fighting for them a lot harder.
Meanwhile at the Capitol's Headquarters, Lady Chaos, President Covington, The General, and the Capitol's best War Strategist our currently holding a meeting regarding the current status of the battle.
"What is the current status of the battle General?" the President said.
"According to my lieutenant It seems we are currently winning although the South's army is not going down easily." the General replied.
"Everyone! It's not what we think.. the attack is just a diversion." Lady Chaos said.
"What do you mean Lady Chaos? Why would this be just a diversion? They just sent us an army consisting of 20 000 soldiers. Why would they sacrifice a big army? From what or whom are they diverting us from?" A panicked war strategist asked.
"It's quite easy to know. Aren't you guys wondering on how are we beating their Army so easy? It's one of the most classic war strategy. You distract your enemy to give you more time prepare your big guns and besides I don't even want to know." Lady Chaos patiently explained.
"What are we going to do about it Lady Chaos?" asked President Covington
"I was planning to send the two lieutenants of the Company of Light but It is quite risky because from what I've learned the President of the Southern Regime is quite a powerful person even the two most skilled warriors of the Company of Light will be having a hard time killing him." Says Lord Chaos.
"Well If It can help ease your uneasiness, I'm prepared to send the Capitol's most skilled warrior, which is my son to help your two lieutenant in defeating the Southern Regime's President. It is the least thing my planet to do to repair our debts to you Lady Chaos." suggested President Covington.
The Capitol Soldiers are now winning although it was not an easy feat they still managed to defeat every single one of the South's Soldiers, but then they saw the current battle that was happening just above a mountain where the South Regime's Headquarters located and realized that the war is not yet over.
They can see it but not too clear. It's a 3 versus 3 battle. The Company of Light's two commander and the President's son against the President of the Southern Regime and his two commander.
One member of the company of the light was using a sword, while the other and President Covington's son was using a bow and arrow. Their position was just a few feet away from the one using a sword and had already notched an arrow which is fair play because that was also the same formation the Southern Regime was using. One person for offense while two are few feet away from that person to take care for the Indirect assault.
At the start, the two people in charge for the offense of the North and South just stood facing each other, staring each other down. They didn't blink and didn't move. For maybe a full minute, nothing happened, then, they saw South's legs tense a little as The South prepared to lunge. The North noticed this and stepped back with his right foot and tensed himself as well, preparing and anticipating the moment where their swords will finally clashed.
Faster than they had thought possible, The South ran, but not towards The North. The South took off to his right and immediately made a thrust of his sword with unbelievable speed but the North were able to deflect it with the same unbelievable speed. In barely two seconds the son of President Covington was firing arrows at the South's archer's heart with deadly accuracy but the Archer were able to block it off by firing an arrow to the arrow the North's Archer sent. While the Company of Light's Archer fired an arrow at The South Swordsman at first, The Swordsman had been too surprised to dodge, so at the last second he was forced to block the arrows with his swords. After several seconds of blocking the arrows, he regained the rest of his composure and charged towards the North's swordsman, dodging most of the arrows the North's archers was firing at him and blocking the ones he couldn't dodge.
The President's son seemed to know exactly where to shoot so that he wouldn't be able to dodge and would instead have to block. He was also firing at an incredible rate. It's quite an interesting strategy, the Company of Light's archer distracting the South's two other archer while the other archer was targeting the South's swordsman.
Suddenly one of the Company of Light's archer's arrow made it past one of the South's Archer defenses, and thus piercing him way deep down his heart sending him plunging towards the ground below instantly killing him. The first death of the duel. At first they thought that it was only a sheer luck, but they've notice that the Company of Light's archer was firing two arrows at the same time. The South's other archer now fully aware of this technique manage to regain his composure back and was already blocking one arrow while dodging the other.
When the South's Swordsman saw what the Company of Light's archer have done to his fellow warrior his eyes flashed murderously, and quickly deflected all the thrust of the North's sword and made its way towards the said archer. The archer's eyes widened, not expecting this at all. He was about to mouth the word "Help" but was quickly silenced when the South's Soldier decapitates him. While the South's other archer was trying to process on what is happening the North's swordsman, using the same thing the South did, quickly made its way to the South's stunned archer and buried his swords way deep down the Archer's heart thus making the two of South's dead. The South Swordsman, knowing that he has lost quickly stripped of his jacket revealing a large lump of bombs. The President's son which seems to know on what the South's swordsman will do quickly moved from him as far as possible but unfortunately the North's swordsman was not able to move because the South quickly pulled him into a very tight hug. The South managed to release one last smirk before the bomb goes off thus ending both of their lives.
"NOOOOOOOOO!" Lady Chaos' bellowed as she seemed to realize that two of the Company of Light's commander are already dead.
With tears in his eyes the President said "It can In no way make up for your loss but I'm prepared to force my son to join the Company of Light and I'll help you find your Company a new lieutenant."
"Don't worry." Lady Chaos said while wiping some tears that were forming in her eyes. "I've already locked my eyes on the next commander of my Army."
"I know it's none of my business but may I know who It Is?"
"Perseus Jackson of the Planet Earth."
