Ficool

Chapter 26 - Sanctuary Breached

Zoey's mum stood up immediately when she saw the group of girls had entered. "Where is Pauline?" she asked. Zaya then spoke, she's evolving.

There was a look of confusion on her face that immediately vanished due to the urgency of the matter they were all in. She gestured for them to come and sit, Zaya stared at the screen projection, it reflected a battle map showing the cities where the attack was going on currently.

Zoey's mum walked up to the screen as she spoke. The problem we are currently facing is the Viking War, We are yet still unsure of their actual aim, but what we are certain of is world domination.

The Viking has presently conquered the whole of the Eastern world, just overnight, with the use of a lot of his dragons and fire beast army. He has attacked and taken over three continents, including...

Our city is what might seem like just another dot on the large continent, but we predicted this war, and thanks to the mayor's help and that of the president, we brought a powerful army together.

Our army consists of about three hundred thousand men, most of which are veterans from the marine war, they've been sent across the two continents to protect the whole nation.

Except for this dragon present here, the Viking has ten other dragons, everyone in the hall gasped, including Zaya. Zoey's mum then continued, this excluding the Viper Viking himself, they are the top leaders of their secret organization, which is hell-bent on destroying the remains of the fox clan and dominating the entire world.

With this information, we know that their first threat will be destroying the fox clan, which is why we must, at all costs, protect the last two foxes. Zaya was startled, throwing Zoey's mum a very confused look.

Zoey's mum then said, the other fox isn't here; she is in the southern part of the continent, leading the war on the front lines. Zaya was shocked and excited that there was still one other fox, except for her.

She then recalled what Ashara had told her about a red Ninja that stole a file from the principal's office. Maybe that was the fox, the staff had told, after all.

"Which means," Zoey's mum said, as she cleared her throat, "Zaya Lexington, from the last descendants of the ancient fox clan, will lead the northern war, beginning from this city."

Are we all in favor of this? Pauline's mum asked, as everyone in the room raised their hands to show their acceptance.

Zaya was a little tense, since she could ever remember, she was always bad at leading people. She clenched her palms as she promised in her mind to do her best and try not to lead them astray.

There was a loud roar coming from the part of the sanctuary where the veteran army stood. They all stared at the door, the military officers amongst them went closer to the mayor, set to protect him from whatever problem this was.

Pauline's mum rose and said, I'll handle it, No worries, Zaya replied, as she rushed towards the door. Before she got there, the door was blasted open, aiming in Zaya's direction.

Zaya caught the door with her right hand, diverting it sideways. In the entrance of the room was Pauline. Her eyes were thick, like that of a lion's, but the fur and mane that were all over her body had disappeared.

There was a tail at her back, coming out from her outfit, Zaya was startled, Pauline, what's going on, how did you reach the peak so fast?

Pauline then said, some powerful being in the nether realms helped quicken my transformation process. We must go now, Pauline yelled, coughing out more blood, else the sanctuary will be destroyed. The dragon's already attacking. I could sense a higher power also coming from far away.

Calm down, Pauline's mum said, as she walked towards her daughter. Zoey's mum then spoke, staring at the Phantom girls, "Are you ready?"

"Yes," they equally responded, as Zoey's mum beckoned for them to follow her towards the veteran army.

They all followed, including some army officers and Korin included. After calming Pauline down, she was kept in a segment of the civilian side of the sanctuary.

Zaya walked out of the rooms towards the veteran army. They were divided into five, each being led by different commanders, three of which were to go into the battle through the front, while two others to stay on the rear.

Zoey's mum called the commanders forward and began giving them instructions, she then appointed June, Natasha, Zaya, and Ashara to assist each of the commanders and take their place in the battle, just in case they fall.

After this, each of the girls went towards their respective armies. Zoey's mum then walked towards where Zaya stood and spoke, Zaya, your main battle isn't going to be in this city, you would have to leave and go into hiding.

The Viking's forces have figured out the root of their problem, and they are gaining on this city fast. We would have to get you out of here, Yes, Alpha commander, Zaya responded.

She then walked towards the segment of the army where she was stationed, the rear. On her way there, Zaya began pondering, if the Vikings wanted to destroy the fox clan, why didn't they just directly come for both her and the other fox.

There was a loud shriek, the sanctuary had been breached, somehow the fire creatures had found a way to enter. Zoey's mum screamed for her armies to enter the other part of the building and protect the civilians, while Zaya's and the other army in the rear should wait for their respective orders.

The armies rushed towards the other side of the sanctuary, various weapons in their hands, as they stormed through, attacking the wild beasts and protecting the civilians.

They were Minotaurs, an ancient civilization that had existed for a few centuries. When the Vikings had used the dragons to terrorize the world, the Minotaur king surrendered, pledging to their cause.

With the power of darkness and fire magic, the Minotaurs were turned into hellish beasts. They had two long horns, each holding a hammer in their hands, two tails, and their stature was short and large.

Each wearing animal hide as cloth, they became walking animals, void of any sense of self-consciousness. With the help of the dragon and their thousands of continuous hits, they broke a hole through the sanctuary.

The veterans fought back, using various types of weapons, Fire blasters, spears, guns, and grenades. The battle was fierce, and it continued.

Zaya stood, hoping for her parents to be safe wherever they were. She couldn't move where she was, as she knew this was the best way.

"Zaya!" Someone yelled, Zaya shifted her gaze towards who called her, it was Pauline, her face pale, resisting the guards that dragged her back.

She tried to say something, but Zaya couldn't grasp, Pauline looked upwards, and Zaya also looked. The dragon was coming, and gaining on them fast.
