This will be a total nightmare.
== Plot ==
After talking to the general about the incoming invasion for a few hours, Jared and John leave and join the warriors outside in buiding a better defense around the walls of the settlement.
"This probably won't last."- One of them says, staring at the machinery- "But let's hope that it will at least slow them down so we can slay them."
Jared smiles.
"My friend, hope is all that we need to have right now."- He responds- "And hope is what will help us get up and fight against this scum."
Everyone nods.
"And that's why we're glad to have you here, in this time of total darkness."- The warrior says.
Jared nods.
"Yes. Me too. Now, let us continue this and hope that it will do something against those fools."
Work on the defenses continues until midnight. When the sun goes down, some of the soldiers go to sleep while others guard the gates and walls, in case anyone tries to attack them.
While John is able to sleep for a while, Jared is not. He simply lies on the ground and watches the stars.
Some of them assemble someone very familiar to him. However, before he is able to recognize the shape, the stars return back to normal.
"What am I trying to remember?"- Jared wonders to himself- "Is it... a member of my family? A friend? Or maybe my first love?"
After wondering for a few more moments, he shakes his head.
"No, it must be my imagination. Nothing else than that."- He says and gets up.
At sunrise, everyone is up and ready to fight.
"Are you ready, brave warriors?"- Jared asks his new allies.
Everyone cheers.
"Then let's show those fools that they should not mess with us!"
Somewhere in the mist, a few miles away from the settlement, a few humanoid figures start to appear.
The warriors at the walls aim their bows at them.
Once the figures get close enough, they shoot arrows at them.
"Yes! Three down!"- One of the guards says excitedly.
The eastern gate seems to be secured. However, this is not the case with the western gate.
"Hero!"- One of the soldiers there yells- "There's a lot of 'em! We need your help!"
Jared grabs a bow and climbs the western wall.
That is the time when he sees how dangerous the situation really is.
"Oh, dear God."- He says as a full platoon of fully armed warriors charge towards them.
Jared is shocked, that is for sure. However, he is not shocked enough to not do anything when they get very close to the gate.
He begins to fire arrows at them, causing seismic shockwaves to rumble and trap them under a pile of rubble.
Or, at least, that is for most of the attackers.
Some of them are quick (and lucky) enough to climb the walls without getting killed at try to kill the warriors around them.
Fortunately, the men and women are well-disciplined and do not panic when they see the enemy standing on their walls. Instead, they grab their blades and strike back at their attackers without another word.
"Impressive."- Jared says to himself- "They're so disciplined and so... loyal."
He grabs his weapon and joins his allies in killing the raiders.
After about fifteen minutes of intense fighting and screams of pure pain coming from both sides of the alliances, the battle for the western gate seems to be finally over.
John sighs.
"What a relief!"- He says- "They were pretty tough, but still. They were no match for us!"
"Indeed, Mr. Braveheart."- One of the warriors at the gate says- "But this battle could have been a failure, if it weren't for the guidance of you and Mr. Kaos."
Jared smiles.
"No, soldiers. I can already see it now. All of you are very brave, very disciplined. You could have won the battle against those invaders, with or without us."
The warriors nod.
Moments later, when everyone at the western gate thinks that the invasion is finally over, they hear a scream coming from nearby.
John looks back and sees a large band of humans standing at the other gate.
"It came from the eastern gate!"- He says and points at the band.
Most of the warriors (including Jared and John) grab their weapons and rush to their allies' aid while some of them remain to guard the western gate from more invaders.
