Hector rushed out, as Ander soldiers quickly organized and tried to push back the Norran soldiers. They were barely succeeding as Hector drew her sword and began killing the soldiers attacking civilians. "Civilians, these soldiers will kill you down to the last woman and child. For the sake of your own lives, follow me and fight back!" She called. "Send word. Women, begin healing soldiers. Men, casting spells. If you do nothing, you all will die."

"Hector!" Shepard yelled out when he saw her step out, he tossed the man he was fighting to the ground "surrender before this gets out of hand!" Fires were raging throughout, all the civilians too afraid to do anything "surrender now!" He yelled out.
Liam's eyes went wide, he couldn't believe the hell like image before him "what have you done?" He muttered as he thought about his father "Hector....these people don't even know how to hunt let alone fight off military!" Another explosion went off behind them, Liam chanted a spell and a barrier formed around him and Hector, debris falling around them.

"We don't have a choice, idiot." She told Liam. "There is no flag. Don't you know that in war, it means they are killing to the last man, whether it be us or them?!" She said. "They have no intention of letting any of us live, and there is no way in hell I'm going down without a fight!" She said, when suddenly, she got an idea. "Liam, you know spells, right. Signal all the civilians to pull back towards the center. Organize them and order them to put up a magical barricade and start healing anyone you can. Go!" She yelled, pushing him towards the town, knowing she was signing her death warrant to prolong the enemy long enough to save the civilians of Mithra. She ran to the line, taking down as many as she could along the way as Ander soldiers continued to fire at Norran soldiers behind the wall. Two of the three metal airships suddenly took flight and began firing at the the emerging ships as well as the ships that were blowing up, using them to knock down Norra's soldiers.

Liam watched Hector run off, he didn't want to take orders from her, but he didn't want anymore Mithrans to get hurt. He looked over at Shepard who was still fighting "damnit..." He muttered, he rolled his sleeve up, revealing a bracelet with three stones embedded on it. He began chanting "come on..." He raised his arm. Like a firework, a light shot up into the sky, it erupted and formed into a dragon. The Mithran understood the dragon as a symbol of aid. The dragon flew off into the center of town, the people began to follow after it.
Airships began to appear in the horizon, they waved the Norran flag.
"keep it up!" He ordered the soldiers, he knew that eventually they'd give in. Shepard saw the dragon appear in the sky "Liam!" He said angrily. He spotted Hector in the front lines, he couldn't believe her.
Liam went to the center of town, the Mithrans had already gathered in a crowd "everybody, barrier!" He was the first to cast the spell, only a few of the people cast the spell
"Liam...why is this happening?" A woman asked him, her eyes full of tears.
Liam didn't respond, he only hung his head "Is everybody here?!" He called out to the people inside the barrier, they all began to speak at the same time, he could barely make out what was being said "alright...alright start healing the wounded, and do not leave the barrier!" Liam ran out, he had to make sure that there wasn't anybody left outside.

"John!" Hector called, rushing to him.
"We're ok. We managed to get to ships up above the cloud layer. They'll be firing from below. We've been pulling back our men behind the wall, and the doctors are all busy. How did they know so fast?"
"I'm not sure." Hector admitted.
"We need a miracle. Have any ideas?" John asked.
"Mithra can't defend itself. They are out of the question." She said, thinking quick.

As the Norran ships came closer to Mithra they began to fire on the enemy ships that were still in the air.
Liam began searching one every home, so far he hadn't found anybody. He froze when he looked at the battle, the ground covered in bodies, most of them were civilians who had been caught in the crossfire. "He clenched his fist, nobody deserved this...
"You...you b*****d!" An Ander soldier came up and tackled him to the ground "look at what you've done!" He began to throw blows at Liam, he could only raise his arms and defend.
"I...didn't do this!" Liam yelled out, he pushed the already weak soldier off him. Liam hurredly got on his feet and ran away from the man. He heard him yell something but he couldn't make it out. He felt something whiz by him, that's when he realized the man was shooting at him.

"Idiots, don't waste your bullets and stamina on him!" Hector yelled. "The next wave is coming. Get over here!" She yelled. Immediately, the soldiers grit their teeth and stopped firing at Liam. They got behind the barricade and began shooting at the incoming soldiers defensively. As the Norran soldiers came close, they got shot, almost making a secondary wall as the sea became covered in bodies. "How many bullets do we have." She asked John.
"Hopefully enough." He replied. "Did you send word to the Prince of Ander?"
"Yes. If anything, reinforcements should be here tomorrow, if we can even hold out that long." She replied. "I just hope all of the civilians are ok."

Liam made it back to the center, he stopped running and began limping, the adrenaline had made him oblivious to the bullets that had hit him. His vision became fuzzy, he couldn't keep going. He fell to the ground.
The Norran airships kept firing as an enemy ship, engulfed in flames, fell to the sea.
"send the mages to the front, we need a barrier!" Shepard ordered, watching as the soldier were in the direct line of fire. "We have to push forward, if we keep this position we'll be pinned!" He picked up a gun and began firing at any exposed soldiers.
[~we're gonna have to choose a victor >.>]

((So, I was thinking Hector and them would wear out Norra a lot, but would be about to loose. Then Hector gets shot, and then the prince and his ships would sweep in and wipe out Norra's troops.))

((Just say the Mithra people healed him. ))
"Good! Keep it up!" Hector yelled. Both forces were growing thin, and Hector knew they would soon be wiped out. 'Come on... come on...' she thought, when suddenly, she saw a kid crying in one of the houses. Seeing the Norran soldiers shooting towards the kid. "Cover the fort." She told John before slipping into the house. "Quick. Kid." She called as the kid cried, covering himself with a barrier saw her. "this way." She said, leading him out. She led the kid behind the Ander barrier, when one of the Norran soldiers spotted her and shot her three times in the back. Seeing this, John shot them, but Hector fell to the ground, bleeding and breathing heavily.
"O-oh God... No!" John said, gripping her bleeding wounds.
"J-John..." She muttered.
"S-stay with me." He said, starting to tear up.
"I-is he safe?" She asked.
"Yes. H-he's fine." He replied. Priscilla smiled as she slowly closed her eyes. "N-no! NO!! Stay with me!" John demanded, crying and cradling her head.
"Y-You bastards!" The Ander soldiers resounded. Suddenly, in the air, a few more Ander flag ships appeared, quickly taking down the remainder of the Norran fleet. Suddenly the battle turned as the Ander soldiers fought bravely for their severely wounded commander.

"dammit!" Shepard yelled out seeing the reinforcements coming through "fall back!" He yelled to the few remaining soldiers "..where's Liam?!" He asked above the cries of the soldier, there was no way he could search the entire island, he had to assume the worst. He and the troops ran back to one of the diving ships, it quickly disappeared back into the water

Just as the troops had began to retreat, the Prince of Ander exited the ship, and got the majority of his troops and doctors to tend to scout for and tend to the wounded. "Where is Hector?" Lance asked the troops.
"The commander has been shot." A soldier said, pointing towards John.
The prince's eyes widened as he suddenly ran towards John and saw Hector. He checked Hector's pulse and noticed how pale he was. "H-he's still breathing, but the wound is too deep. He needs a magical treatment. Where are all the civilians?"
"T-the red dragon fired. Mommy went to the center of town." The kid Hector saved stuttered.
"John, take the kid and run Hector to the magicians as fast as you can. Tell them the battle's over, and we need as many healers as we can get." Lance said.
John nodded and looked at the kid. "Please, show us the way. Otherwise, he'll die." John said. The kid nodded and began to run towards the center of town, and John followed him.
A woman spotted Liam and brought him into the barrier and removed his bullets before beginning to heal him. He seemed to have passed out from shock.

Liam was in Mithra, a different, better, Mithra. The city glowed beautifully, the people were happy. Then he saw her, his mother, exactly as he remembered her, she smiled and his problems faded away. She turned to him and opened her arms, she waited for him to come over and embrace her. Liam stepped forward but he went nowhere, he walked but no matter what she wasn't getting closer. She started to fade away, Liam desperately trying to run up to her. "Aaah!" He yelled out as he awoke, he saw a familiar woman above him.
"It's okay sweetie" she said, as she gently pushed his head back down "you two, help me move him!" She called out to two men near him. The men slowly lifted Liam up and followed the woman into a nearby hut, above it was strange lettering that translated into 'medic'

John ran to the barrier, behind the kid. The kid ran to his mother's arms, crying as John looked at the people. "The battle's over. All of you are safe now, but we need help! P-please, we need healers! Our commander is about to die!" John said, almost begging.
