CHAPTER 7 The Hidden Army

the four boys were walking for about 5 hours straight without stopping and they were tired and weak. They ended up taking a rest. James was wide awake and full of energy after he woke up. He stood up and stretched his arms. Just as he was going to start walking, he heard a click of a gun. To his surprise, it was another boy with a machine gun. He had a serious look on his face and he was not playing around at all. He looked to be older then James and he had an angry face. He had long blond hair with a medium built body. James just blinked and stared. He thought this boy was a warrior or something because he had army clothes on. "Who are ya?" he asked pointing his gun at James nose. "I'm future king of Nazarath." James replied. " Who are those sleepin' kids ova there?" He asked. " My friends who have come to help me to complete my journey." James replied seriously. "Where I come from, we don't have such things as friends." He said madly. "Who are you?" asked James. " You don't need to know my name." He replied. “Go wake up yo' friends and come with' me." James just woke up his lazy friends, and all of them followed the mad 19 year old looking guy. He got down and moved some leaves and pulled a hidden handle. Then he ordered the four boys down the stairs. Soon they came up to some old large Gates that seem to be built underground a long time ago. James was curious and wanted to know where they were being taken. The guy opened the gates and right there, was an underground town. “Shoot, all this time I never knew there was a hidden town down here." Victor said. "Shut yo trap and keep walkin' or I’ll shoot you guys and let my dogs chew you's up." the blond haired boy said. The boys continued walking. Then they came up before a king that James had never heard of. His name was King John. "How dare you kids step into my territory?" he asked with a loud commanding voice. The blond haired kid whispered something in his ear. The king nodded and stared at the kids. “Future king of Nazarath, I’m very surprised to see you here." He said with a smile. Then he ordered a few soldiers to escort them to his office. The four boys sat down and stared quietly at the king as he pulled out a large map with the town of Yumazandra drawn on it. It showed the whole kingdom. Then the King began to speak. “For many years we have been hiding underground forming an army to capture Yumazandra and take over. Yumazandra used to be our precious Kingdom until that Cyclopes and his army came and took over. All his army began to kill all the people, and I was only 18 years old." He sighed and went on. “My father was killed along with my mother. I led a lot of my people out of the kingdom after this happened. We began to dig a huge hole and we ended up building this huge underground town." The king stared at the boys and smiled. “We have been waiting for the right moment to strike but we couldn't because my men were too afraid and finally they have become strong and will do anything to win our kingdom back." He stood up and looked at James eye to eye. “Will you help us?" he asked. James stared and looked at his brother, Victor, and Vaughn. They nodded to James. James stared at the king. "Yes." he replied as he shook the kings hand. The king smiled and began to introduce James to everyone in town and including the army. " My greatest team of warriors are these men." The king said as 50 men all lined up and saluted. The blond haired kid was with the group. “The leader of the group is my son, Wesley." The king smiled and the blond haired kid stood straight and saluted seriously. James looked at Wesley and saluted back. Wesley didn't smile at all. He had a look of anger and vengeance as he went back in line and stood quietly. “Sorry if my son doesn't smile, he has been waiting for a long time to go to war because the Cyclopes army killed his mother." the king sadly explained. "I have been watching over him and two other girls ever since." The king smiled. “IM very lucky because my youngest girl that’s your age can cook." The king took them back to his house which was very huge and clean. It seemed to have three floors and a huge kitchen. James watched as three little girls came running down the stairs with a pretty women behind them. "My second oldest child, Lucy. She’s married and the three little girls are her children Jessica, Gabriela, and Katie. They live with me." The King quickly stopped the girls and told them to walk. They giggled and ran back upstairs. Their mother sighed and went back upstairs after them. Then the King introduced them to almost the whole family. “My youngest daughter, Jessica will arrive later." He said. The boys found a room to sleep in which had four beds in it. James asked the king if they could stay for a while and he explained about the Ork king and how they have been running away from them for over 10 days. The king nodded and went upstairs to his room. Victor, Spencer, and Vaughn went upstairs to explore the house. James just sat on a chair and began to make plans for the war and how they were going to get in Yumazandra. He began to wonder if he could make the orks fight the army of the Cyclopes. Then they could have an advantage and get in the town. James began to write down his plans on a piece of paper. Then he called Vaughn, Spencer, and Victor downstairs and told him his plan. Spencer agreed with the plan while Victor and Vaughn thought about it and came up with more ideas. Soon James was standing before the army that had over 30,000 troops lined up and listening. " Brave warriors of this underground town, I’m the future king of Nazarath and I have heard the terrifying story of how you men were thrown out of your kingdom long ago." James said loudly and seriously. “I have come up with a plan that will work if we do it fast and perfectly." James said. Victor came up and continued to talk for James. " I'm Victor and I will explain the plan to win Yumazandra back." Victor displayed a huge map with the kingdom of Yumazandra and arrows all over the map. “First, James, Spencer, Vaughn, and I will make the orks follow us to the gates of Yumazandra, and just as they charge at us we will move out of the way and the orks will smash the gates down. The Cyclopes army will begin to fight them and that’s where we will send Spencer to signal all of you to march and prepare to battle the orks so that all we have left to fight is the Cyclopes army." Spencer then began to speak. "I will escort half of the army behind the kingdom and we will break down the wall and surprise attack the rest of the army." Vaughn ended up talking for Spencer. " After the surprise attack, James and I will go and fight the Cyclopes. If we need help I will tell you." James stood straight and stared at the army. " All of you must be prepared, fight for your kingdom, home, and families!!!!!" James yelled." I know I might be too young for this, but I am not letting my father or any of you die or be kicked out of your homes. I’m willing to die for all of you including my kingdom." James saluted the whole army. They all yelled “FOR YUMAZANDRA!" James was ready to fight the Cyclopes but all he needed was the army to be prepared. They had only had two weeks. If the planned failed, then James’s father will die. James wasn't going to let that happen.
