Ch.21 Mokuton For The Win

A/N: Sorry about the long wait time, I'm a slave to work. Hope you enjoy the chapter and as always let me know if you see anything that could be fixed or might improve the story.

As Zelon approached the group of men; they continued to drop trees upon the battlefield.

"Enough!!"

A loud shout of anger, reverberated over the entire battlefield.

The men stopped attacking as they witnessed a little white haired boy, moving towards them.

For some odd reason as he got closer, his body began to hover higher off the ground. At some point Zelon got high enough to see over the entire forest.

Zelon looked down below on the men, like a pack of weak sheep.

"You will pay for attacking my people."

Zelon raised his hand towards the group.

The ground began to shake around the men.

As their footing began to crumble under them; the leader of the group, reacted quickly giving orders.

"This kid is powerful in the Force, jump back then we will attack him together!"

The men all enhanced themselves with the Force, jumping back high into the air.

The moment their feet left the ground, a barrage of vines burst from the ground, following them into the air.

"I don't have hashirama's level of control over wood, but it's more than enough for weaklings like you."

In Zelon's mind he screamed a phrase.

"I've always wanted to do this."

("Wood Style - Wood Vine Barrage!!")

The vines quickly shot up, trying to grab the mens legs.

"Defend yourself, this kids tricky!"

The leader seeing the incoming vines, used his Vibroblade to repel the vines.

The vines were easily cut up, falling back to the ground. The men all did similar actions, cutting the vines into many pieces.

"This kid ain't as strong as I thought."

The Ysanna leader smiled.

"Surround him!"

The Ysanna fell back unto the ground then charged at Zelon.

"Fools, become nutrients for the forest!"

The ground shook once again as countless vines shoot out around the men, binding their arms and legs.

Some of the men with stronger connections to the Force, sensed the vines coming, and retreated before getting caught.

A back and forth dance began, as the men dodged and repelled vines continuously charging at them.

On the other side of the battlefield, with the addition of Elrond and a company of elven soldiers.

Both fronts began to push back against their attackers.

"Archers fire at their backline!"

Arrow after arrow, was fired into the air blotting out the sky.

The Ysanna defended hard, but their shields wouldn't be able to last long under such fire.

As Ysannan leaders tried to give out orders, sniper fire took their lives. Some were lucky, having the shot miss them, but it cause major panic in the area.

With leaders either dead or pinned down, it got harder to hold an offensive against Zelon's forces.

With the help of the elf spearmen, the dwarves had already begun pushing their foes back.

"Ye warriors are weak! The strength of me hammer, be enough to send these men, running with their tail between their legs!"

Drogula, bloody from battle threw profanities and insults at the Ysanna as she slammed her hammer down upon any who stood before her.

The dwarves held the front as they pushed back against the Ysanna.

Elf spearmen under Elrond's command, flanked the Ysanna and began pushing into their backside.

Under attack from both sides, the Ysanna morale began to plummet.

A Ysanna leader who had just been stabbed in his shoulder, parried an incoming attack then moved back behind his men.

"Retreat! These foreigners are strong we have to regroup!"

Hearing the call to retreat the Ysanna began to run. Many were still struck down as they left their backs open for attack.

As the Ysannan army began to retreat Zelon's battle also drew to a close.

The Force sensitive Ysannans began to get tired after constantly dodging vine attacks. Since the vines continued to come, they were unable to move from their original location.

Some of them, after a while of dodging were still impaled and pulled down into the ground below.

Not seeing any way of winning in sight, the Ysannan leader order the other men to retreat.

As they began to run into the forest, the leader turned and looked at Zelon.

"I will have my revenge for this transgression, foreigner!"

Not wanting any of them to get away.

Zelon called for more vines to rush the retreating men.

However, before the vines could get to them, the men were already far into the forest.

Zelon released his power then turned to the battlefield.

Many dead Ysanna, elves, and dwarves lay about the field.

"Begin cleaning the battlefield, bring all the weapons away, and bury the Ysanna bodies."

"Retrieve our fallen brethren, move their bodies into the castle world."

As everyone got busy cleaning the battlefield, Zelon met up with Elrond, Alphani, and Drogula.

"Everyone it seems we have a hostile native force on planet that we need to deal with."

"Right now Ventax and his team are alone digging up the ruin they found."

"I'm going to take a small force and my Royal Guard with me and meet up with them."

"Elrond you will take command of my forces here and begin searching for the enemy location. If you find them inform me, however, if you can't get in touch, decide your actions on your own."

"Once I find these natives, do you wish for me to destroy them or occupy them?"

"If you can I would like to keep them alive, we will need people to populate this planet in the future."

"Very well."

"Alphani will stay here to take command of the defenses."

"Drogula you and the dwarves must rest, then continue construction of our base."

"Also if you can construct an area in the castle world to bury our fallen."

"Those who have fallen and will fall in the future will not be forgotten!"

While Zelon gave his orders to the others, Nauthrien and Gadron gathered up a group of 20 elf archers.

"We will need to move quick and stay alert, we don't know where the enemy is located."

Gadron stared out into the endless forest of trees.

"The enemy could be waiting in ambush along the way, we must ensure the safety of our lord."

Ninnien and Revion walked over to the group of elves.

Ninnien looked at Nauthrien.

"Our lord is ready to move, is everyone ready?"

"Hmm."

Gadron nodded his head.

Gadron raised his hands and shouted.

"Form up!"

The Royal Guards and 20 elf archers moved to Zelon. The Royal Guards encircled Zelon on all sides, not giving any opportunity to get close.

The archers got into a square formation around them, watching their surroundings attentively.

Zelon smiled at their actions.

"Let's go."
