The Dragon Master, Part 2: The Dragon Sword

Acclaim and Dragonaurus were walking to the north. Suddenly, Dragonaurus stopped walking. "Hm?" said Acclaim, as he stopped walking too and faced Dragonaurus. "What is it, Dragonaurus?" he asked. "A goblin village lies just up ahead. I have seen these creatures battling together with the orcs against humans and dwarves. Should we destroy them?" said Dragonaurus. "Goblins, eh? I've seen them in battle, and they're not so tough" said Acclaim, as he looked at the direction of the goblin village. Then he faced Dragonaurus and said "Dragonaurus, I'll go there and kill the guards myself to practice my skill at swordsmanship. I'm sure I can take them, they're only goblins after all, short creatures fighting with spears". "Okay, I'll stay here and watch you just in case you need support" said Dragonaurus. "Cool. Okay, I'm going" said Acclaim, and then he walked at the Goblin village. Two goblin spearmen saw him. "Who's that?" said a guard. "A human. What is he doing here?" said the other guard. "Don't know, but he's in our land. Get him!" said the other goblin, as he charged at Acclaim. Acclaim walked calmly and drew his sword as the goblin was charging at him, and just as the goblin thrusted his spear at him, Acclaim dodged and slashed the goblin with his sword, killing it. "This is bad!" said the other goblin guard, as he saw Acclaim walking towards him. Then five more goblin guards came. "What's going on, Pinak?" said one of the guards. "That guy killed Gink!" replied the goblin known as Pinak, as he pointed at Acclaim. "Let's get him!" said a Goblin guard, and then the five goblins charged at Acclaim. "Hm" said Acclaim, as he looked at the goblins. Then he raised his hands, letting go of his sword, which floated in the air. Acclaim then did a movement with his hands and his sword flew at the goblins and impaled two of them in a row, killing them. "W-What did he do?" said one of the remaining three goblins. "Just a little trick I learned at the mage community..." said Acclaim. "A-a mage? This is bad!" said the goblin. "Run!" said another goblin, and then the three goblins started running back at their village. However, as they were running, a gobling riding a wolf walked in front of them, and they stopped. "What's wrong?" said the wolf rider. "There's a mage out there, already killed three of us!" said a goblin spearman. "I'll take care of him!" said the wolf rider, as he looked at Acclaim, who was unarmed, as he had thrown his sword at the goblins previously. "Shit! Throwing the sword's all good, but I wasn't taught how to bring it back to my hand!" said Acclaim, as he looked at the wolf with the goblin on his back. The wolf then charged at Acclaim and lunged at him, hitting him with his two front paws and throwing him on the ground. "NOOO!" screamed Acclaim as he saw the wolf about to bite him with his fangs, when suddenly the wolf and its goblin rider were blasted away by a stream of hot flames! "D-Dragonaurus! Just in time!" said Acclaim, as he turned his head and looked at Dragonaurus, who had saved him. "Get your sword, I'll deal with those weaklings" said Dragonaurus, as he started walking towards the goblin village. "Alright!" said Acclaim, as he got up from the ground and headed at his sword, while Dragonaurus was walking towards the goblin village, in which the few goblins that lived there were running away in terror as they saw the huge dragon. Dragonaurus slammed three wolf riders who attacked him with his tail, tossing them away in the forest, while the rest goblins fled to the north to go find help by their allies there. meanwhile, Acclaim picked up his sword and entered the village. "Those goblins were weak, but I'll need to train more if I want to defeat the orcs" said Acclaim. "Yeah. Let's just rest here for today, and we'll continue travelling tomorrow" said Dragonaurus. He and Acclaim fed on the supplies at the goblin village, and rested there until the next day.

The next day, Acclaim and Dragonaurus left the goblin village and travelled elsewhere, to another goblin village. As with the previous one, they used its supplies and rested there. The young boy and the dragon spent the whole summer and fall travelling up and down the lower north lands, attacking small goblin villages and camps when they found them. Acclaim's skill with the sword grew greatly as he slayed more and more goblins, who fell before him more and more easily in each of his attacks. However, the harsh winter was approaching, and Acclaim and Dragonaurus would need a shelter from the freezing cold of the north. As they travelled north, they found a cave which would serve well for that role.

"This place seems ideal to spend the winter" said Dragonaurus, as he saw the cave. "Yeah, let's hope it's not inhabited" said Acclaim. Then he and Dragonaurus walked at the cave and entered it. They walked through a tunnel, and in its end they saw a big room where there were some dwarves. "Dwarves! They have often been our allies against the orc hordes. Surely they will allow us to winter with them" said Acclaim. A dwarf saw Acclaim and Dragonaurus. "A dragon is at the cave entrance with a human! Break out your axes, boys, if you don't want to be that thing's meal!" said the dwarf, as he picked up his axe, as did the rest dwarves. "...or not. Why do they hate us so much?" said Acclaim. "Unfortunately, people are biased against us because of our past. Hopefully once we've dealt with the orc threat they'll be able to see things differently. But for now, the cave-dwellers give us no choice" said Dragonaurus. "I guess you're right" said Acclaim, as he pulled out his sword. A dwarf tried to slam his axe on him, but Acclaim blocked the attack with his sword, and then he stabbed it through the dwarf's shoulder. The dwarf screamed in pain, as Acclaim kicked the dwarf away, and then he walked into the room where the rest dwarves were. He repelled the attacks of three dwarves on his way there with relative ease, but as he entered the room a dwarf slammed his axe on Acclaim's sword and cut it in half! "Damn!" said Acclaim, as he looked at his broken sword. "It's over, boy!" said the dwarf, as he tried to cut Acclaim in half with his axe, but Acclaim stepped backwards and avoided the attack in the last second. "I need a weapon..." said Acclaim, as he looked around. On a table, he noticed a gold sword with green dragon wings attacked to its purple hilt. "That'll do!" he said, as he jumped at the table, kicking a dwarf that was next to it to the ground, and picked up the sword. "No! The Dragon Sword!" said the dwarf who had just fallen to the ground by Acclaim's kick. "What? You said... the Dragon Sword? Could it really be...?" said Acclaim, as he sensed a powerful energy in the sword. Then he looked at the dwarf he was fighting with previously, and then he ran at him and effortlessly slashed through his armor and cut his body! "Agh!" said the dwarf, as he fell on the ground, bleeding badly. "The way this sword looks... And how it can cut even through dwarven armor extremely easily...!" said Acclaim, surprised by the sword's power. "Dwarf! Is this really the legendary Dragon Sword?" he said, as he looked at the dwarf who he had kicked down previously. "That sword belongs to King Haldric III! Give it back!" said the dwarf. "No, I think I'll keep it" said Acclaim, as he looked at his sword with amazement. "Get him!" said the dwarf, and then four dwarves attacked Acclaim from all sides with their axes, screaming their battle cries. But Acclaim did a full 360 spin, during which he cut all of the dwarven axes in half, leaving the four dwarves unarmed! "Our axes!" said one of the four dwarf fighters. They then started fleeing out of ther cave. the dwarf which Acclaim had kicked down previously was also about to start running, but Acclaim walked in front of him and pointed his sword at his throat. "Wh-what do you want?" said the dwarf. "I want to know more about that sword. Is this really the legendary Dragon Sword? And if so, what is it doing here?" said Acclaim. "This is indeed the Dragon Sword... King Haldric III got it from the Pokeia Region using Atlantis's immense wealth power. He wanted to have the ultimate sword in the universe, and we dwarves were entrusted with the task of enhancing the Dragon Sword's already incredible powers even more. With out magic and crafting skills, we have made this sword indestructible..." said the dwarf. "I see. What about the Dragon Cape? Where is it?" said Acclaim. "We don't have it..." said the dwarf. "Who has it then? I'm sure the King would also want the Dragon Cape along with the Dragon Sword. Speak up, dwarf!" said Acclaim. "Ugh... The Dragon Cape... It was given to the mages of the largest mage academy on Atlantis, located to the west of here... They are currently working their magic on it, making it indestructible as well..." said the dwarf. "You'd better be telling the truth! Because if you are not..." said Acclaim as he looked at the dwarf angrily. "I'm not lying! Why are you doing this?" said the dwarf. "Because I must destroy the orcs" said Acclaim, as he lowered his sword. The dwarf then ran away, out of the cave, following the rest of his people who fled in search of a new home. Dragonaurus walked into the cave. "That was a great battle, Acclaim, taking on all of those dwarves by yourself. You have certainly grown powerful" said Dragonaurus. "Yeah, and it certainly was worth it, too. To think that I'd find the Dragon Sword... I can't believe I'm holding the ultimate sword in the universe into my hand... I can even feel its power flowing through my arm. And, if what I have heard about dwarven magic is true, then this sword really must be indestructible" said Acclaim. "What exactly is this Dragon Sword, Acclaim?" said Dragonaurus. "You don't know the legend? But then again, you're a dragon, so it's normal. Okay, let me explain this. In a place overseas, very far away from here, there exists a region known as the Pokeia Region. Hundreds of years ago, that place was thriving with peace. The people were hapy and lived in harmony with the Pokemon. But one day, something terrible happened. A white comet fell from the sky at incredible speed, and crashed in some place within Pokeia. The people of that place approached the comet, and saw that it was actually a large, white, muscular lizard-like demon with wings. As soon as he opened his eyes, the demon roared and immediately started attacking the people of Pokeia and causing mass destruction with his incredible, devastating powers. The people of Pokeia tried to fight back, but the demon was invincible. He was impervious to all damage, and with his terrifying powers he killed every single lifeform he encountered. His strength was such that he could massacre an entire army in a matter of minutes. This rampageous, unstoppable demon devastated many villages entirely to dust, and slaughtered their entire population mercilessly like a beast. Thousands of lives were lost, and the demon, who was called Dragon Demon by the people of Pokeia, started to become known to the entire Earth. To stop him, the one thousand most spiritually blessed monks from around the entire world gathered around the demon, and performed a special sealing technique, with which they managed to seal the demon in a sword. However, this technique had a terrible cost to pay, as it required the sacrifice of the lives of all the monks involved in it in order to succeed. Thanks to those one thousand monks, who selfishlessly sacrificed their lives to save humanity, the world was saved from the demon. The sword in which the demon was sealed in was called the Dragon Sword, after the name that was given to the demon, Dragon Demon. So, this sword contains the power of this Dragon Demon, a power which once singlehandedly obliterated entire villages to nothing..." said Acclaim, as he looked at the Dragon Sword. "Incredible... And what about the Dragon Cape?" said Dragonaurus. "The Dragon Cape is said to contain particles of the Dragon Demon's skin, mixed with many other of the hardest materials that exist. So it is almost impossible to destroy, and it can become even more powerful than that if its wearer has Spirit Energy. This energy was a form of energy used by the Dragon Demon, and if the wearer of the cape has such energy, then the cape will react to it and become even tougher" said Acclaim. "Amazing... But if what you say is true, then you should be very careful with those items" said Dragonaurus. "Yeah, I will" said Acclaim.

The winter passed well in the cave, and Acclaim even got the chance to practice using his newly acquired sword against some trolls which occasionally showed up. Through his training, his skill with the sword increased along with his physical strength and fitness. As time passed, Acclaim evolved into a master swordsman able to take on several strong opponents at once. Eventually, the spring came, and it was time for Acclaim and Dragonaurus to move on. Acclaim was eager to go and destroy the orcs, but a thought was stuck in the back of his mind. It was the thought of the Dragon Cape. After some thought, he finally decided to head west and get it from the mage academy. So he and Dragonaurus travelled towards there, until they saw a large castle-like building. It was the academy they were looking for. However, it was extremely heavily guarded. Dragonaurus suggested that they moved during the night, under the cover of the darkness, and rush towards the entrance of the academy as fast as they can instead of fighting the guards. Acclaim took the dragon's advice, and so the two of them waited hidden in the nearby forest until it was dark.

Note: The following part needs a little more work, but I just felt like posting it from now. I'll edit it later.

The Dragon Master, Part 3: The Dragon Cape

The night came, and Acclaim and Dragonaurus were looking at the castle guard hidden in the forest. "Okay, now is the time to make a run for it. Remember to fight only those absolutely necessary, do not waste time and energy in battles you can avoid" said Dragonaurus. "Yeah, I got it. Let's go!" said Acclaim. Then he and Dragonaurus emerged from the forest, and started running towards the entrance of the castle. "What... A dragon! Quickly, everyone, to arms!" shouted a guard as he saw them. Immediately, the whole castle guard was alerted and started to chase Dragonaurus and Acclaim. Two spearmen ran in front of Acclaim to block his path, but he slashed through their armor like nothing with his sword and kept going after jumping over their bodies. Meanwhile, some archers were shooting Dragonaurus, who was flying, but it was hard to aim in the darkness, so most of them missed. But even those that hit did minimal damage to the dragon because of his tough skin. Dragonaurus flew to the entrance of the academy, which was guarded by two mages. "Lightbeam!" said one of the mages, as he pointes his palm at Dragonaurus and blasted a beam of blinding light! "Argh!" said Dragonaurus as he was unable to see by the bright light, and then he was hit by the beam! Then he fell from the sky, and landed on the mage who had blasted the beam at him, squashing him beneath his huge weight. "Dragonaurus!" said Acclaim, who was fighting against three swordsmen, blocking three attacks from them simutaneously! He quickly slashed all three of their swords in halves with a swing of his own sword, and then he ran past them and towards Dragonaurus. The other mage at the entrance of the castle was charging up a thunder ball in his palm, ready to fire it at Dragonaurus's face from point-blank range! "Nooo!" shouted Acclaim desperately, as he ran towards Dragonaurus to save him, but he was still too far. But as Acclaim was running, a yellow energy was gathered in his sword, which then flew off it like a beam and hit the mage who was about to kill Dragonaurus, slamming him on a wall and cancelling his attack. The mage fell senseless on the ground, and Acclaim stopped running and wondered what he had just done. "Hu-huh? What happened?" said Acclaim, as he looked at his sword in surprise. "Thanks for that Acclaim, I didn't know you could fire Hyper Beams from that sword" said Dragonaurus, as he got up. "Neither did I..." said Acclaim, as he looked at his sword's golden blade. "Well hurry up! More troops are coming!" said Dragonaurus, as he saw the three swordsmen who Acclaim had beaten previously running at him. "Uh, yeah!" said Acclaim, as he ran quickly at the entrance of the mage academy. Hunted by many heavy infantrymen, Acclaim ran quickly into the entrance with Dragonaurus, and then they closed and locked the two heavy doors, locking the castle guardsmen outside. "Whew, that was close!" said Acclaim. "Yes, but we'd better hurry. Those doors will not hold them for long" said Dragonaurus. He and Dragonaurus then started exploring the academy. Two apprentice mages saw them. "W-who are you guys? What are you doing here?" said one of them. "Uh, King Haldric III sent us to get his cape" said Acclaim. "Yeah, right! Eat this!" said one of the mages, as he formed a fire ball in his hand and shot it at Acclaim. But he just slashed it with his sword as it was flying at him. Dragonaurus then slammed his tail hard on the ground, shaking it and throwing the two mages to the floor. Then he and Acclaim approached them and looked at them. Acclaim pointed his sword at one of the mages as he looked at him from above. "See this? This is the ultimate sword in the universe, called the Dragon sword. Unless you want to feel its power, you'd better tell me where the Dragon Cape is!" he said. "D-down this hall, in the room at the end! But you'll never get it! In there is also the Great Mage himself, the best mage in this academy. He'll bring you to your knees, foul thief!" said the mage. "Oh, we'll see about that" said Acclaim, as he lift his sword. Then he and Dragonaurus made their way to the end of the hall the mage showed them, and ended up at a door. "Let's go!" said Acclaim, and then Dragonaurus slammed the door open with his powerful tail. Right after the door opened, a combination of fire blasts and ice beams flew out of it, and Acclaim barely managed to avoid them by stepping to the side of the door! Dragonaurus got hit a little, but he was not damaged much. "Blast it! There must be a lot of mages in there!" said Acclaim. "I'll take care of it" said Dragonaurus, as he looked at the open door and started charging a powerful energy in his mouth. Acclaim watched amazed as Dragonaurus fired a huge and devastating beam of yellow energy, the Hyper Beam! The Hyper Beam flew into the room and hit one of its walls, exploding in a huge blast that blew up everything in the room! As smoke and dust came out of the open door, Acclaim decided to enter. He and Dragonaurus went into the room, and as the dust faded away, they saw the entire room devastated, and the apprentice mages thrown fainted at random places. Only an old man was still standing. "I suppose you must be the Great Mage..." said Acclaim. "You will pay for what you've done, foul outlaw!" said the Great Mage, as he formed a large fire ball between his hands, and shot it at Acclaim. But he rolled to the side and avoided it, as it kept going and hit a wall behind him, decimating it in a big explosion of fire. Acclaim got up and said "Listen up, old geezer. We're here for the Dragon Cape. Just give it to us and we'll be outta here. There's no need to cause any more destruction" said Acclaim. "If you want the Dragon Cape, you will have to take it from my dead body!" said the Great Mage. "What?" said Acclaim. "Acclaim, he is wearing the cape" said Dragonaurus, as he looked at the black cape which the Great Mage was wearing. "Shit! Now what?" said Acclaim. "Distract him and I'll get the cape" said Dragonaurus. "Okay" said Acclaim, and then he started running at the mage. "Foolish boy, a charging attack against a mage! I shall teach you the futility of your ways!" said the mage, as he blasted a Lightbeam at Acclaim from his palm. "Ack..." said Acclaim, as he closed his eyes and held his sword in front of him for protection, while the powerful beam striked him and pushed him back on his feet. But the light from the Lightbeam hit the Dragon Sword's golden blade and was reflected back at the Great Mage, blinding him too, and then a part of the Lightbeam itself also hit the sword and got reflected back at the Great Mage, hitting him lightly. As the Great Mage took two steps back because of the attack, he fell something pulling him upwards. It was Dragonaurus, who had bit his cape and was trying to remove it from him! Dragonaurus lift the Great Mage in the air by the cape, and then he shook his head a little and managed to steal the cape from the Great Mage, while the latter fell back onto the ground. "Good job Dragonaurus!" said Acclaim. Suddenly, many troops started to enter the room where they were in, as they had finally managed to break through the gates! "And just in time too! Let's get outta here!" said Acclaim, as he ran and jumped on Dragonaurus's back. Dragonaurus then flew up and smashed through the ceiling, and then he smashed through a wall on the above room and flew away from the troops. With a big smile on his face, Acclaim was handed the Dragon Cape by Dragonaurus, and then he put it on. "Hahaha! Hahahahahahahaha!" laughed Acclaim, as he was flying in the night sky on his trusted dragon, under the beautiful stars and the crescent moon.

Burning inside with a desire to take his revenge against the orcs, Acclaim was eager to begin attacking the orcs from the very next day. In the afternoon, he flew with Dragonaurus to the north, until they saw a small orc encampment. Dragonaurus landed on a nearby forest just to the south of the camps, and Acclaim jumped off his back. Having the Dragon Sword and the Dragon Cape in his possession, he was sure of his victory. He and Dragonaurus walked at the orc encampment. "Here we are. This small encampment is an ideal place to take our first step towards the annihilation of the orcs. Once we're done with them, we will move on to bigger targets" said Dragonaurus. "With the might of the Dragon Sword in my hands, many orcs will die this day. They shall pay for getting me banished from As'ral" he said, as he looked at the orcs. The orcs also saw them. An orcish warrior ran to the orcish warlord and said "Chief! There's a human boy and a dragon over there!", as he pointed at Acclaim and Dragonaurus. The warlord looked at Acclaim. "Who is this little whelp? Grunts - kill him and bring me his head!" said the warlord. On the warlord's command, the orcs started roaring and screaming their battle cries, and then they charged at Acclaim and Dragonaurus. "Dragonaurus, are you ready?" said Acclaim. "Yeah. Let's do it" said Dragonaurus. Acclaim pointed his sword at the charging orcs, while Dragonaurus flew up in the sky. "I hope this works... Hyper Beam!" said Acclaim. Just then, a huge yellow energy beam flew from his sword and striked the orcish warriors, obliterating many of them in its powerful energy! At the same time, Dragonaurus used Flamethrower from above and torched many orcs to ashes. Many orcs died, but some managed to get close to Acclaim. "Die, human-worm!" said an orc, as he tried to slash Acclaim with his sword. However, Acclaim swung his own sword and cut the orc's sword in half! "Gagh!" said the orc as he saw that. "Feel my wrath, vile creature!" said Acclaim as he stabbed his sword through the orc's stomach, killing him. Then two orcs charged at Acclaim's left, but he used his cape to block their sword attacks like nothing! "W-what's wrong? Why isn't he sliced yet?" said an orc. "Disappear, beasts!" said Acclaim as he swung his sword horizontally and sliced the two orcs' stomachs open. Meanwhile, Dragonaurus continued attacking the orcs from above mainly with Flamethrower, but sometimes also with Thunderbolt and Ice Beam. Acclaim and Dragonaurus continued fighting against the orc horde without receiving the slightest damage. Acclaim slayed many orcs and protected himself from their attacks with his cape, while the orcish archers who were shooting Dragonaurus could do no damage to him. "Archers! Leave the dragon! Shoot that stupid cub!" said the orc warlord. The orcish archers then concentrated their fire on Acclaim, but he just covered himself under his cape and protected himself from all the arrows, as well as the many orcs who had surrounded him and were trying to cut him with their swords. As he saw that, Dragonaurus blasted a Flamethrower at Acclaim and torched all the orcs around him, but Acclaim himself was not harmed, thanks to his cape. "Argh!" said the orc warlord, as Dragonaurus looked at him. Then he blasted a Fire Blast at him, but the orc avoided it, and it hit some archers instead, scorching them. "Let's get outta here!" said the orc warlord, and then he started to make a run for it, along with his remaining warriors. As the battle was over, Acclaim stopped protecting himself with the cape and looked at the orcish warlord run. "The orcish warlord shows his worth. Nothing! Dragonaurus, finish him!" he said. Dragonaurus then blasted an Ice Beam at the orc warlord, freezing him alive, and then he descended to the ground and slammed his tail on the frozen orc, shattering him to pieces. As the sun was just beginning to set, the battle was over, and Acclaim and Dragonaurus felt glad about their victory as they watched the few surviving orcs fleeing in panic.

This first triumph was followed by a series of numerous other victories against various orc clans spread around at the north. During the whole remaining spring and in the summer, Acclaim flew on Dragonaurus's back and the two of them terrorized and slaughtered any orcs they could find. Eventually, as the orcish population in the north began to decrease rapidly, the remaining orcish tribes decided to unite in opposition, despite their usually fractious chieftains. The orcs gathered together and waited for their enemies to come to them, something which happened soon. One day, in the huge orc camp where hundreds of orcs had gathered, a huge golden comet suddenly fell from the sky! The orcs widened their eyes as they saw the huge golden comet descending fast upon them, and they quickly started running away, but before they could get far, the comet fell to the ground and caused a huge explosion, killing many orcs! "What's going on?!" said an orc, as he saw much dust from the explosion, and looked at the fallen orcish warriors on the ground. "They're here!! said another orc, as he pointed at a location, above the ground, where Dragonaurus was flying! Dragonaurus landed on the ground before the orcish forces, and Acclaim jumped off his back, ready for battle.

This message was edited by OverLord of Chaos on Jan 01 2008.

Here is a little picture-story I created.

Just a few notes:

-I edited Part 1 of this story to give a bit more emphasis on why the dragons were hated even on Atlantis, despite the fact that the people of Atlantis had not experienced the dragon invasion of Earth (since Atlantis was created during that time, and living organisms did not exist on Atlantis then, so normally they would not know even about the attack of the dragons). Basically I just mention that travellers from Pokeia influenced the people of Atlantis to hate the dragons.
-I edited the last paragraph of Part 3 a bit, to make a scene with the beginning of the attack of Dragonaurus and Acclaim against the orcs.

The Dragon Master, Part 4: The Orc Massacre

Acclaim looked at the orcs with an angry expression in his face. The orcs, also looking angry, were standing all over their camp, with much smoke in its center after the golden comet crashed there, and three orcish warlords waiting in the back, ready to give their orders. Acclaim looked at the orcish warlords and said "Since the very founding of As'ral you have hounded humans every turn. You have raided my home at every opportunity. You have trampled our fields, slaughtered our livestock. You have brought war to a place of peace, and death to a place of life. You have killed without remorse, and despoiled that which was once beautiful. You have murdered my father and caused endless trouble to me. Now I shall have my revenge on you. Expect no mercy from me, because you have long since lost the right to it. I will crush you into the dust. The attacks on As'ral will stop here and now. When I bring word of your demise the town will cheer my triumphant return". "Stop your silly talk, foul human. You have caused enough trouble. It is time for you to die" said an orcish warlord then. Many orcs started roaring while raising their weapons in the air, and then an orcish warlord said "Slaughter them!" as he pointed his sword at Acclaim and Dragonaurus, and then hundreds of orcs and some goblins started charging at them with their weapons! Some large, muscular trolls with iron hammers and big wooden clubs had also allied with the orcs, and they started moving towards Acclaim to attack him! "How naive... Those orcs do not imagine they are living their last day. Let's slay them all and cleanse this land of their filthy kind!" said Acclaim, as he pointed his sword at the orcs. "Right" said Dragonaurus. "Dragonaurus, let's do the usual" said Acclaim. "Okay" said Dragonaurus then, and then he flew up to the sky, while Acclaim remained down to the ground and watched the orcs charging at him. "Hyper Beam!" said Acclaim then, as he pointed his sword at the orcs, and shot out a large beam of yellow energy, hitting many orcs and destroying them. But the orcs Acclaim hit were very few compared to the total amount of orcs in the area, and many of these orcs ran at Acclaim and tried to slash him with their swords! "Heh!" laughed Acclaim confidently as he saw the orcs getting close, and then he hid under his cape! The orcs then started slashing him, but their attacks were having no effect because of Acclaim's cape, which was protecting him! "Hm. As long as I am under this cape, nothing can harm me!" thought Acclaim, as he was hiding under his cape. But suddenly, some orcs grabbed his cape and started pulling it! "What!" said Acclaim, as the orcs pulled his cape and exposed his body from the front, leaving him exposed to attacks! "Kill him!!" screamed an orcish warlord as he saw that, and then a big, muscular troll swung his huge iron hammer straight at Acclaim's chest, slamming him with enormous force that sent him flying! "Graaaaargh!!" screamed Acclaim in pain as much blood came out of his mouth after the devastating attack, and then he was sent flying for some distance until he fell to the ground and rolled for some time before hitting a tree and stopping! "Acclaim!" said Dragonaurus, as he turned his head and looked at Acclaim worried. "Shi-Shit..." said Acclaim, and then he coughed out some blood as he slowly got up from the ground. "Another attack like that and I'm done for... Those orcs are more cunning than I thought... I underestimated them... I hadn't imagined that they'd actually try to remove my cape..." thought Acclaim, as he looked at the orcs, who were also looking at him. "Wot'cha waitin' for! Gut him!!" said an orcish warlord, and then the orcs roared loudly and started charging at Acclaim wildly. "I guess I'll have to be more careful from now on" thought Acclaim, and then he looked at Dragonaurus. "Dragonaurus, get ready!" said Acclaim as he looked at the dragon, and then he looked at the orcs charging at him. "Alright" said Dragonaurus, who was flying in the air and also watched the charging orcs. The orcs were getting closer and closer to Acclaim, but before they could get too close, Acclaim hid under his cape and said "Now!". Dragonaurus then charged up a gigantic fire ball into his mouth, and then he shot it straight at Acclaim! Acclaim was also surrounded by many orcs who were charging at him, and as the fire ball crashed on him, it exploded in a huge explosion of super hot flames that burnt all orcs around Acclaim to crisps! However, Acclaim himself was not damaged, as he was under his cape! "Waaargh!" screamed many orcs who had been charging at Acclaim, as they caught on fire and started running away and rolling to the ground, trying to put out the fire, while others who were closer to the fire ball's explosion had been burned instantly to ashes! "They're taking advantage of his invincibility!" thought an orcish warlord as he saw that and watched many orcish warriors running around broken. "Great!" said Acclaim, as he went out of his cover and ran at some surviving orcs and trolls, finishing them off with his sword! "Archers! Now!" said an orcish warlord then, as he looked at many orcish archers, who then aimed their bows in position to fire at Acclaim and Dragonaurus! Then they fired a huge barrage of arrows at them, and Acclaim was busy fighting at the moment! "What!" said Acclaim as he noticed the arrows flying at him, and then immediately he hid under his cape. "Now! get him!" said an orcish warlord as he saw that, and then some orcs started running at Acclaim! "No! They're trying to keep both me and Dragonaurus busy with arrows so we can't work together! And they're trying to get close to me to grab my cape again, and I can't fight back since I have to hide under my cape in order to not get hit by these arrows! Those bastards have me pinned down! I never expected something like that from the orcs..." thought Acclaim, as he looked at the orcs charging at him from a very slight opening he kept as he was holding his cape. But just then, he heard a sound of wings flapping, followed by a powerful wind that blew away all the arrows, and then he saw a huge ice beam descending from the sky, freezing many of the orcs and trolls who were charging at him solid! "Gagh!" said some other orcs then, as they stopped charging. "Dragonaurus!" said Acclaim then, as he looked at Dragonaurus while still hiding under his cape. "Sorry, but you can't beat us with such weak tricks" said Dragonaurus, as he looked at the orcish archers, whose arrows he had deflected previously by creating a strong wind by flapping his powerful wings! Then he leaned back his head as he created a huge ball of compressed water in his mouth, which he then blasted at those orcs! The orcish archers ran away as they saw the ball of water flying down at them, and then the ball hit the ground with huge force, cratering it and exploding in an explosion of bullet-like water drops, which flew at bullet speed towards all directions and killed many orcs around! "Acclaim, I'll take care of the archers. You deal with the rest" said Dragonaurus, as he looked at the orcish archers. "Alright!" said Acclaim, as he went out his protection under the Dragon Cape, and started charging at some orcs! "Haaaa!" screamed Acclaim his battle cry, as he started slashing up some orcs, trolls, and goblins with the Dragon Sword, while he was protected from the arrows by Dragonaurus, who was hunting down the orcish archers with Flamethrower, Ice Beam and Thunderbolt attacks! "Orcs, attack! The one who brings me his skull gets a bag of gold!" said an orcish warlord then, and then all of the orcs, goblins and trolls in the camp charged into the battle in an all-out attack! Acclaim found himself surrounded by a huge amount of enemies, who were trying to attack him from every side! "Spin Attack!" said Acclaim then, as he started spinning around with his sword, slaying everyone around him! Even without using his cape as protection, Acclaim still was receiving no damage from the orcish attacks, as he was slaying them with the Dragon Sword before they could even land a hit! Acclaim then started slaughtering a path of blood towards one of the three orcish warlords! "Kill him!!" screamed that orcish warlord as he saw that, as he sent more and more men into the battle, but they just fell dead to single slashed from Acclaim's legendary blade. After slaying a huge amount of orcs, some remaining ones started cowering and running away, and the orcish warlowd was now left on his own! "Get back, cowards!" screamed the orcish warlord as he saw his men running away, and then he turned his head and looked at Acclaim, who was pointing his sword at him. "You bastard... Why are you doing this?!" said the orcish warlord. "Your kind is an abomination. I am here to see that you inflict no more harm on other living beings" said Acclaim, as he looked at the orcish warlord with a serious expression on his face. "The only thing you'll see will be my blades cutting off ya head, humie!!!" screamed the orcish warlord then, as he charged at Acclaim and tried to slash him with two great swords he was holding! But Acclaim swung his own sword horizontally, slicing both swords of the orcish warlord to half, and also inflicting a huge wound on his chest at the same time! "Graaaargh!!" screamed the orcish warlord then as he let go of his broken swords, and much blood spouted out from his wound. "It's over, orc" said Acclaim, as he started approaching the orcish warlord slowly. "You...!!! Die!!" screamed the orcish warlord then, as he grabbed a crossbow from his back and shot two arrows at Acclaim! But Acclaim immediately moves hir right arm, with which he was holding his cape, and protected himself. "It's you who is going to die" said Acclaim, as he kept walking at the orc. "Wraaargh!!!" screamed the orcish warlord then, as he charged at Acclaim to attack him bare-handed, but then Acclaim pointed his sword at him and said "Hyper Beam", and then he blasted a huge Hyper Beam at the orc from a close range! "Graaaaaargh!!!" screamed the orc as he was hit by the beam, and got obliterated into its powerful energy!

Meanwhile, Dragonaurus was fighting against some orcish archers, led by another orcish warlord. "Use fire!" said that warlord, and then the orcish archers under his command started setting their arrows on fire before shooting them at Dragonaurus! "How ridiculous..." said Dragonaurus then as he saw the arrows flying at him, and then he flapped his wings powerfully, blowing all the arrows away! "Those little arrows will never reach me" said Dragonaurus. "Crossbowmen!" said the orcish warlord then, as he looked at some orcish crossbowmen! "Shoot him down!" he continued. Then the orcish crossbowmen started shooting many powerful arrows at Dragonaurus! Dragonaurus then flapped his wings to deflect the attack, but the arrows fired by the crossbows were much more powerful than the arrows which he had been deflecting previously, that had been fired by normal bows. As a result, they were not stopped completely by his wind attack, and Dragonaurus was sliced up a bit by the arrows! "Argh!" said Dragonaurus, as the arrows caused some small scratches on his body, even though he had very hard skin! "That's it! Destroy him!" said the orcish warlord then as he saw that, and then the orcish crossbowmen started shooting a huge barrage of powerful arrows at Dragonaurus. But then Dragonaurus looked at the barrage of arrows angrily and then he took a deep breath before unleashing a gigantic Fire Blast attack! The Fire Blast immediately destroyed all of the arrows and kept going until it hit the ground, causing a huge explosion that caught many orcish archers and crossbowmen in its range! "Aaaargh!!" screamed the orcs as they were getting hurt by the attack of Dragonaurus. "To think that trash like you even have a little hope of defeating me just because they managed to scratch my skin... This is beyond frustrating..." said Dragonaurus, as he looked down at the orcs with a furious look on his face! "Die!" said Dragonaurus then, as he breathed out a huge stream of flames down at the orcs, torching them to ashes! "Aaaaaargh!!" screamed the orcs, as they were getting burned by Dragonaurus's attack! "Die!" said the orcish warlord leading them then, as he grabbed his crossbow and shot a powerful arrow straight at Dragonaurus's face! "An arrow!" thought Dragonaurus as he barely noticed the arrow in the last second, and then he closed his right eye as the arrow hit the right side of his head and scratched against it before it kept going! "Even that didn't work?!!" said the orcish warlord who had fired the arrow then, as he looked surprised at Dragonaurus, who was almost completely unharmed after his attack! "You bastard..." said Dragonaurus, and then he charged a huge ball of electricity in his mouth, and then he shot it at the orcish warlord and killed him in a huge explosion of electricity.

Acclaim and Dragonaurus then kept fighting the remaining orcs, trolls and goblins, and in a matter of minutes they had annihilated most of them. The few remaining orcs started to flee into the forest, and amongst them was the third and last orcish warlord who was leading them! Acclaim and Dragonaurus, who were fighting some orcd at that time, noticed him running away. "The last chieftain... he's escaping! The coward!" said Acclaim. "He could gather survivors from the battle and cause trouble again. We should follw him and finish him off after we're done with the remaining orcs here" said Dragonaurus. "Right" said Acclaim, and then he and Dragonaurus kept killing some few remaining orcs in the area. The entire place was devastated by the battle, mostly by Dragonaurus's powerful attacks, which had frozen large areas solid and set fires everywhere. The few remaining orcs started to flee away in terror, but Acclaim and Dragonaurus disposed of them quickly and mercilessly. After they were done, they started travelling after the orcish warlord who had escaped, leaving behind a destroyed orc camp full of corpses and burning in huge flames.

Here is chapter 78 of my story. Here is a song which goes well with this chapter in my opinion.
