Brutus sat on a mighty steed, he held his sword at the ready.
"I won't be beaten by a bunch of old bones!"
The Army of skeletons faced Brutus and his best friend, the green eyed Archer named Shadow. Shadow lifted his bow at placed three arrows on the string and pulled back.
"Just tell me when." Shadow said, his voice hinted that he wasn't scared either, rather he felt convinced of victory.
Light glinted off the sun bleached bones as the army stared at the two soldiers of the living.
"Am I late to the party?"
Brutus spun around, a young warlock stood before him, his cloak flapped in the wind an emblem on his chest showed a rabbit with antlers.
"Jack!" Brutus Exclaimed, "Course not you're just in time the action." Brutus spun back around and pointed his sword once again and as it caught the light it glowed and the light traveled down the blade and hilt before building a chestplate of light armor and he charged, Shadow released his arrows and they spread out blowing large holes in the skeleton army as they exploded on impact. Jack leaped and a large piece of the Earth lifted up and several small pieces followed. He stood on a floating rock with five floating rocks swirling around him. He watched as Brutus cut large swaths of the skeletons like grass. Shadow was having more trouble tho, his bow had returned to his back and he was surrounded two shadowy blades appeared in his hands and he dropped them, chain slipped through this hands and Jack realized that it was two blades on one chain Shadow began to manipulate the chained blades like a circus performer slicing through any skeleton who got too close.
Jack watched as his rocks swirled then he picked a Target, a large Skeleton was throwing rocks from the castle in the distance. The rocks continued swirling but one by one they launched at the castle taking out all the rock throwers.
It didn't take long before they stood in a field of broken bones. They met up at the castle entrance, Brutus looked up at the wall.
"Hmm. . . Where's the door?" Brutus asked
"Yeah," shadow agreed, "what were they protecting there's not even a way in!" Jack walked up and put a hand on the wall and he went through it.
"It's an illusion, come on" Jack said, and they continued soon reaching the throne room. They walked up to the throne but the king wasn't there, instead sat a note that said : making lunch :)
Suddenly the castle began to collapse and Brutus and his friends watched as the floor started to fall, Jackie tried to use his magic but it didn't work, Brutus's light armor was gone and his sword had become a toy Shadows bow had become a toy to as he and his friends jumped from platform to platform till they finally fell. Jackie sat up in his friends house the others sat on the floor with him toy skeletons littered the floor and three heros had been dropped into the toybox as they got up and ran to the kitchen for lunch.
