DECIDING BATTLES
THE ARK TRILOGY
PART III
By Jack Pinemonkey
Chapter 8
The second battle took place at the foot of Mount Beny. Sin had
sent a hundred of her/his soldiers. Trick had all of his soldiers lined
up to. Sin's calvalry charged. In response, Trick's troops fired there
hand guns. Behind the gunners were Bracketts operating a metal shell.
The calvalry continued to charge. Most of them were gunned down, but the
remaining soldiers broke through the gunners and met a worse fate with
the metal warriors.
Next, everyone on both sides charged. The metal warriors were
destroyed easily with electric staffs. But Trick's troops killed
everyone in their path. When most of the warriors were gone, Trick rode
onto the battle field. He rode over to the remaining captured soldiers.
"Kill them," ordered Trick.

By the time the second battle had ended, Teel had already scaled
most of the Tower. He had managed to sneak past most threats. He had
been forced to fight a dragon and a giant bat. He defeated the bat but
had to run from the dragon.
He was had found a giant lift. Unfortunately, it was guarded. To
robed figures with skulls for heads. He jumped onto a rafter above the
lift. He silently crawled till he was over the lift. There was a crack.
Teel looked behind him. the rafter had cracked under...
A giant spider! The rafter spilt and the giant spider and teel
fell on to the lift. The rafter crushed the skeletons swiftly. The
spider landed on its back. Teel hopped onto its abdomen. He ducked to
avoid the legs that were moving wildy. He brought out his rapier and
brought it down in its stomach. He lifted it up and brought it down
again. The spider's legs convulsed.
The lift had already started to go up.
"Um, is that a dinosaur?" asked a voice. Teel turned
around and saw a bizaare looking monkey. It had white fur and was
hopping about.
"Where?" asked Teel stupidly, looking around.
"HEHEHE!" The Monkey started transforming. It grew
first at the legs, whick turned scaly. Then its whole skin turned scaly.
Its head pretty much stayed the same in shape and size. It tossed its
head back and roared. It towered six feet above Teel.
"Oh boy."
***********
The third battle took place in the sky around the top of the
Tower of Dognis. Sin's troops, now called astrites for their tendency to
fall out of the sky and attack villages, had dive bombed a Trick's army
in airplanes. The planes were thin and had small wings. They had sent
flaming balls of lead directly to the army, killing alot.
Trick's troops had chased them in their own airplanes, to the top
of the Tower. Magus had awaken already and was attacking the astrites
with balls of flame that he conjured up. Two went down immediately. The
others were surrounded. Magus shot one of them, but the other two
escaped by shooting threw the circle. The other planes were on their
trail instantly. A few quick manuevers, and they were dead too.
Magus blew a hole in the top of the Tower. He jumped into it.
